description: This paper uses the panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) to find out the dynamic relationship between oil prices, inflation, exchange rates, industrial production and the stock prices of 18 mining sector companies in Indonesia. The data covers the period of January, 2009 to December, 2016. In the long run, oil price fluctuations do not coincide with sector stock prices. In the short term, oil prices are not directly related to the stock prices of the mining sector. The price of oil is co-integrated with the exchange rate and the consumer price index, while in the short term the price of oil is reciprocal with the exchange rate, while the value is reciprocally related to the consumer price index. Heterogeneous coefficient relations show the exchange rate to be a central point for the relationship of oil prices and the consumer price index in influencing the share price of the mining sector. This finding becomes an important consideration for investors to calculate exchange rate fluctuations in developing their investment.
Single-timescale distributed GNE seeking for aggregative games over networks via forward-backward operator splitting

description: We consider aggregative games with affine coupling constraints, where agents have partial information on the aggregate value and can only communicate with neighbouring agents. We propose a single-layer distributed algorithm that reaches a variational generalized Nash equilibrium, under constant step sizes. The algorithm works on a single timescale, i.e., does not require multiple communication rounds between agents before updating their action. The convergence proof leverages an invariance property of the aggregate estimates and relies on a forward-backward splitting for two preconditioned operators and their restricted (strong) monotonicity properties on the consensus subspace.

description: Results of a BeppoSAX observation of Her X-1 in 2000 October during the first main-on state after the longest recorded anomalous low-state are presented. The 0.1-30 keV spectrum, light curve and pulse profile are all consistent with those measured during previous main on-states, indicating that Her X-1 has resumed its regular 35 day cycle with similar on-state properties as before. However, from a comparison of the measured pulse period with that obtained close to the start of the anomalous low-state, it is evident that Her X-1 continued to spin-down strongly during the anomalous low-state such that the pulse period has returned to a similar value as ~15 years ago. Additionally, the occurrence time of the main-on states after the end of the anomalous low-state indicate that a change in the length, or phasing, of the 35-day cycle occurred during the anomalous low-state.

description: Laser beam profilometry is an important scientific task with well-established solutions for beams propagating in air. It has, however, remained an open challenge to measure beam profiles of high-power lasers in ultra-high vacuum and in tightly confined spaces. Here we present a novel scheme that uses a single multi-mode fiber to scatter light and guide it to a detector. The method competes well with commercial systems in position resolution, can reach through apertures smaller than $500\times 500$~$μ$m$^2$ and is compatible with ultra-high vacuum conditions. The scheme is simple, compact, reliable and can withstand laser intensities beyond 2~MW/cm$^2$.

description: Bangladesh Ready-Made Garments (RMG) had grown significantly over the last decades in every term but unfortunately quality of locally produced goods is still an issue. According to BGMEA report (2014) RMG consists around 40% manufacturing as well as 50% of the total workforce and 78% of total export earnings generated from this sector. Most of the employees in RMG are women, around 90%, where 4.2 million people are working in this sector. However, the potential growth and prospect in the Bangladesh RMG sector is huge. And for using these opportunities it should focus on the proper implementation of HR policies to emphasis quality performance. In recent knowledge-based economic condition, human resource is the most crucial resource as organizational effectiveness and efficiency is largely depends on the utilization capacity of this resource, especially in the case of Ready-made Garments industry in Bangladesh. Yet, the realities for RMG organizations are that their people remain undervalued, under-trained, and underutilized. Due to improper HR practices, labor unrest rate in RMG is high, and the employee productivity rate is lower than its competitors. As RMG is the rising sector for further investment, now a day a much concern is needed to improve and sustain garments companies growth. Human Resource Management requires much more concern in the Bangladesh RMG sector. In this aspect, literature proved that HR practices didn’t get much attention, which need to be measured and analyzed in the aspect of Bangladesh RMG sectors quality performance improvement as in RMG sector human resources is the main advantage for industrial growth and sustainable competitive advantage in business. So this study is required to lift up this expectation to fulfill this research gap

description: Contextualized word embedding models, such as ELMo, generate meaningful representations of words and their context. These models have been shown to have a great impact on downstream applications. However, in many cases, the contextualized embedding of a word changes drastically when the context is paraphrased. As a result, the downstream model is not robust to paraphrasing and other linguistic variations. To enhance the stability of contextualized word embedding models, we propose an approach to retrofitting contextualized embedding models with paraphrase contexts. Our method learns an orthogonal transformation on the input space, which seeks to minimize the variance of word representations on paraphrased contexts. Experiments show that the retrofitted model significantly outperforms the original ELMo on various sentence classification and language inference tasks.

description: One way to reconcile the issues of productivity and environmental protection for field crops farmers is the implementation of systemic agroecological innovations. These innovations are complex combining traditional agricultural tools, such as the lengthening of rotations, with innovative production techniques such as precision agriculture. The adoption of these innovations creates additional uncertainty for farmers. Several studies have shown that risk aversion is a major break in the adoption of agricultural innovations. But others individual agronomic, economic and psychosocial determinants also affect the adoption decision process. However, among the determinants identified in the literature, few seem common and generalized to all production context. Other determinants, not directly observable, influence the adoption decision. This article presents a literature review to identify the role of observable and unobservable determinants, such as perceptions and preferences, in the adoption process of agroecological innovations.

description: Exotic cosmologies predict variability of the fundamental physical constants over the cosmic time. Using the VLT/UVES high resolution spectra of the quasar Q0347-3819 and unblended electronic - vibrational - rotational lines of the H2 molecule identified at z = 3.025 we test possible changes in the proton - to - electron mass ratio mu_0 = m_p/m_e over the period of 11 Gyr. We obtained a new constraint on the time - averaged variation rate of mu_0 of |d mu /d t /mu_0| < 5 10^{-15} yr^{-1} (1 sigma c.l.). The estimated 1 sigma uncertainty interval of the |Delta mu/mu_0| ratio of about 0.004% implies that since the time when the H2 spectrum was formed at z = 3.025, mu_0 has not changed by more than a few thousands of a percent.

description: Transglutaminase from Streptomyces mobaraensis (MTG) is an important enzyme for cross-linking and modifying proteins. An intrinsic substrate of MTG is the dispase autolysis-inducing protein (DAIP). The amino acid sequence of DAIP contains 5 potential glutamines and 10 lysines for MTG-mediated cross-linking. The aim of the study was to determine the structure and glutamine cross-linking sites of the first physiological MTG substrate. A production procedure was established in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) to obtain high yields of recombinant DAIP. DAIP variants were prepared by replacing four of five glutamines for asparagines in various combinations via site-directed mutagenesis. Incorporation of biotin cadaverine revealed a preference of MTG for the DAIP glutamines in the order of Gln-39 ≫ Gln-298 > Gln-345 ∼ Gln-65 ≫ Gln-144. In the structure of DAIP the preferred glutamines do cluster at the top of the seven-bladed β-propeller. This suggests a targeted cross-linking of DAIP by MTG that may occur after self-assembly in the bacterial cell wall. Based on our biochemical and structural data of the first physiological MTG substrate, we further provide novel insight into determinants of MTG-mediated modification, specificity, and efficiency.

description: Farm transfers in industrialised countries are a major element of the structural change seen in agriculture today. In France, farm transfers represent a key strategic issue with half of all farm heads being over 50 years old in 2010 and therefore due to retire in the next ten or fifteen years. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to our understanding of the issues and problems associated with the farm transfer process, taking the French region Brittany as a case study. A review of the literature, rounded out by interviews with public and professional stakeholders involved in the transfer and settling processes, identifies certain key aspects, which are borne out by a survey of 15 farmers established for less than five years and 25 farmers eligible for retirement in the next ten years in Brittany.

description: Big data is one of the most discussed topics in recent economic and business sectors with explosive applications of information and communication technologies (ICT). The object of this study is to develop a forecasting model based on a big data processing. This study focuses on the forecasting of vegetable price considering climate factors as one of major big data associated with the agricultural field. Onion and napa cabbage in Korea are selected as target products. Price forecasting models are constructed by a Bayesian structural time series (BSTS) and a vector autoregression (VAR) models. Both models introduce climate factors of temperature, precipitation, sunshine duration, and the lowest temperature in chief producing district for onion and napa cabbage. Results show that, for onion price, BSTS is more appropriate for the short-term price forecast, and VAR for the long-term. For napa cabbage prices, both BSTS and VAR show similar patterns in price forecasting. However, BSTS predicts price relatively lower than VAR does. We conclude that it is necessary to consider big data concerning climate factor in forecasting vegetable price and to develop various models across agricultural products with their growing environment.

description: Seeking environmentally friendly gas-insulated medium has become a research hotspot in recent years. At present, C3F7CN (Heptafluoro-iso-butyronitrile) is considered to be a potential SF6 environment-friendly alternative gas and some achievements have been made in the study of its insulation and decomposition characteristics, but there are few reports on the compatibility between its characteristic decomposition products and materials. The investigation of compatibility between gas-insulated medium and material is an important part of evaluating its comprehensive performance. In this paper, we investigated the interaction between C2F5CN, CF3CN, COF2 and CF4 with the aluminium widely used in electrical equipment. It was found that the interaction between C2F5CN, CF3CN and Al (1 1 1) surface is strong. There are obvious charge transfer and electron orbital overlap between the C atom, N atom in CN group and Al (1 1 1). The interaction between COF2, CF4 and Al (1 1 1) surface is weak and van der Waal’s forces play the major role. Relevant results reveal the characteristics of C3F7CN decomposition products and provide theoretical guidance for evaluating the material compatibility between C3F7CN decomposition products and aluminium.

description: We review the cosmological implications of the flat directions of the Minimally Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We describe how field condensates are created along the flat directions because of inflationary fluctuations. The post-inflationary dynamical evolution of the field condensate can charge up the condensate with B or L in a process known as Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. Condensate fluctuations can give rise to both adiabatic and isocurvature density perturbations and could be observable in future cosmic microwave experiments. In many cases the condensate is however not the state of lowest energy but fragments, with many interesting cosmological consequences. Fragmentation is triggered by inflation-induced perturbations and the condensate lumps will eventually form non-topological solitons, known as Q-balls. Their properties depend on how supersymmetry breaking is transmitted to the MSSM; if by gravity, then the Q-balls are semi-stable but long-lived and can be the source of all the baryons and LSP dark matter; if by gauge interactions, the Q-balls can be absolutely stable and form dark matter that can be searched for directly. We also discuss some cosmological applications of generic flat directions and Q-balls in the context of self-interacting dark matter, inflatonic solitons and extra dimensions.

description: This work was carried out to deploy e-business and e-commerce through small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia. To that end, a study on market behaviour was conducted, and a model was developed to transfer from traditional business to e-business. Finally, an application of this model was applied in a local small business. A study was carried out to find the two main characteristics of SMEs in Saudi Arabia: the level of adoption of e-business and the most significant limitations and barriers to this adoption. According to a survey of one hundred and nine SMEs in Saudi Arabia, 14% were found to depend only on e-mails for communication purposes. A total of 76% were found to have used websites for marketing their businesses. Six percent were already using e-commerce for online sales, and only 4% of Saudi SMEs had fully integrated e-business systems through their supply chains. The results also showed that organizational, technical and economic barriers are the most significant in terms of e-business adoption. Therefore, when the model was under development, these three groups of barriers were used as criteria. After the study was conducted, a model was developed in the form of a strategy to transform traditional businesses into e-businesses. A new strategy was introduced that combines in-sourcing and outsourcing with the help of e-commerce site builders. Finally, this research will contribute to deploying e-business systems among SMEs in Saudi Arabia to align them with current market needs and consumer expectations better and to sustain competitive advantage.

description: Cooper pairs in chiral superfluids carry quantized units of relative orbital angular momentum (OAM). Various predictions of the intrinsic OAM density or the macroscopic OAM of a two-dimensional chiral superfluid differ by several orders of magnitude, which constitute the so-called Angular Momentum Paradox. Following several previous studies, we substantiate the semiclassical Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory of the single-particle edge current and OAM in two-dimensional chiral superfluids in the BCS limit. The analysis provides a simple intuitive understanding for the vanishing of OAM for a non-p-wave chiral superfluid (such as $d+id$) confined in a rigid potential. When generalized to anisotropic chiral superconductors and three-dimensional chiral superfluids, the theory similarly returns an accurate description. We also present a detailed numerical study of the chiral phases in the BEC limit. Our study suggests that, in both BCS and BEC phases the relative OAM of the individual Cooper pairs contribute to the total OAM additively, and that in both phases the corresponding macroscopic OAM density distribution is localized at the boundary.

description: A key problem that hampers production within agricultural settlements is insufficient contribution of labor to the cooperative activity. This research analyzes the factors affecting members' labor supply. A theoretical model is developed based on expected utility maximizing behavior. Members are assumed to allocate labor between private and cooperative production. The model includes behavioral interaction of members, variation in income distribution rules and income uncertainty. The effect of a change in several cooperative parameters such as member cohesion, rules of income distribution, cooperative income variability, and income correlation is analyzed using comparative statics. The results indicate there are no simple, direct incentives to affect participation in an uncertain environment. Neither an increase in member cohesion nor an increase in the distribution of income based on participation will guarantee an increase cooperative labor. Similarly, cooperative participation will not necessarily decline with either an increase in cooperative income variability or an increase in cooperative and private income correlation. Labor supply was collected from members of an Israeli Kibbutz. Because there is no private production on this type of cooperative, the effects of income variability and correlation cannot be tested. It is possible, however, to isolate the effect of member cohesion. Tobit and Heckman estimation procedures were used to determine factors affecting members' supply of extra hours of labor. Member cohesion is found to be a significant factor in both procedures which confirms the importance of behavioral interaction in models of cooperative labor supply. Given the rules of income distribution on a Kibbutz, the non-pecuniary factors which affect a members' labor supply can also be tested. The statistical results appeal to our intuition because the decision whether or not to work over time is significantly influenced by attitudes but not by work activities, while the number of extra hours voluntarily worked is strongly influenced by work activities.

description: We derive exact expressions for the finite-time statistics of extrema (maximum and minimum) of the spatial displacement and the fluctuating entropy flow of biased random walks. Our approach captures key features of extreme events in molecular motor motion along linear filaments. Our results generalize the infimum law for entropy production and reveal a symmetry of the distribution of its maxima and minima. We also show that the relaxation spectrum of the full generating function, and hence of any moment, of the finite-time extrema distributions can be written in terms of the Mar{č}enko-Pastur distribution of random-matrix theory. Using this result, we obtain estimates for the extreme-value statistics of stochastic transport from the eigenvalue distributions of suitable Wishart and Laguerre random matrices. We confirm our results by numerical simulations of stochastic models of molecular motors and discuss as illustrative example our theory in the context of sports.

description: We calculate the two-, three- and (for the first time) four-point correlation functions of the COBE-DMR 4-year sky maps, and search for evidence of non-Gaussianity by comparing the data to Monte Carlo-simulations of the functions. The analysis is performed for the 53 and 90 GHz channels, and five linear combinations thereof. For each map, we simulate an ensemble of 10,000 Gaussian realisations based on an a priori best-fit scale-invariant cosmological power spectrum, the DMR beam pattern and instrument-specific noise properties. Each observed COBE-DMR map is compared to the ensemble using a simple chi^2 statistic, itself calibrated by simulations. In addition, under the assumption of Gaussian fluctuations, we find explicit expressions for the expected values of the four-point functions in terms of combinations of products of the two-point functions, then compare the observed four-point statistics to those predicted by the observed two-point function, using a redefined chi^2 statistic. Both tests accept the hypothesis that the DMR maps are consistent with Gaussian initial perturbations.

description: The time evolution of several interacting Ginzburg-Landau vortices according to an equation of Schroedinger type is approximated by motion on a finite-dimensional manifold. That manifold is defined as an unstable manifold of an auxiliary dynamical system, namely the gradient flow of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional. For two vortices the relevant unstable manifold is constructed numerically and the induced dynamics is computed. The resulting model provides a complete picture of the vortex motion for arbitrary vortex separation, including well-separated and nearly coincident vortices.

description: Angular distributions of sigma(theta), A_y, iT_11, T_20, T_21, and T_22 have been measured for d-p scattering at E_c.m.=667 keV. This set of high-precision data is compared to variational calculations with the nucleon-nucleon potential alone and also to calculations including a three-nucleon (3N) potential. Agreement with cross-section and tensor analyzing power data is excellent when a 3N potential is used. However, a comparison between the vector analyzing powers reveals differences of approximately 40% in the maxima of the angular distributions which is larger than reported at higher energies for both p-d and n-d scattering. Single-energy phase-shift analyses were performed on this data set and a similar data set at E_c.m.=431.3 keV. The role of the different phase-shift parameters in fitting these data is discussed.

description: The Dietrich Child: Perhaps the most incredible case Edgar Cayce ever encountered was the case of the Dietrich child. In fact, because newspapers did publish the remarkable story of the Dietrich child, Edgar Cayce immediately became a sensation. In 1902, Cayce had just begun to gain a reputation as a healer. Aimee Dietrich was a six-year-old child who had become nearly catatonic since she had been beset by seizures at the age of two after an attack of La Grippe (influenza, flu). She now had as many as twenty seizures a day. Her growth as a child had ceased at age 2 and her intellectual functions had degenerated. She couldn’t recognize her father or mother. The Dietrich’s had taken their daughter Aimee to five different doctors. None of them knew what Aimee’s problem was and viewed her case a Siren hopeless case. In absolute desperation they asked for the help of Edgar Cayce since they had heard that Edgar Cayce had healed some people somewhat miraculously. At the request of the father, Edgar Cayce went to the home of the Dietrich’s on December 12, 1902, and gave a “reading” while in a trance. “When he awakened, Mrs. Dietrich was weeping.” (p. 177 river) Edgar Cayce’s reading indicated that just before she caught the grippe, she had “slipped and struck the end of her spine while getting out of the carriage,” and the infection had settled in her spine causing the seizures. While for the most part the causes of epilepsy are largely unknown, one of the specific causes listed is infections of the spine. Developed countries have more incidence of epilepsy and it is believed traumatic injuries and infection are the reason.

description: Although the formalism that allows the calculation of alloy thermodynamic properties from first-principles has been known for decades, its practical implementation has so far remained a tedious process. The Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT) drastically simplifies this procedure by implementing decision rules based on formal statistical analysis that frees the researchers from a constant monitoring during the calculation process and automatically "glues" together the input and the output of various codes, in order to provide a high-level interface to the calculation of alloy thermodynamic properties from first-principles. ATAT implements the Structure Inversion Method (SIM), also known as the Connolly-Williams method, in combination with semi-grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations. In order to make this powerful toolkit available to the wide community of researchers who could benefit from it, this article present a concise user guide outlining the steps required to obtain thermodynamic information from ab initio calculations.

Measuring dynamical masses from gas kinematics in simulated high-redshift galaxies

description: Advances in instrumentation have recently extended detailed measurements of gas kinematics to large samples of high-redshift galaxies. Relative to most nearby, thin disk galaxies, in which gas rotation accurately traces the gravitational potential, the interstellar medium (ISM) of z>1 galaxies is typically more dynamic and exhibits elevated turbulence. If not properly modeled, these effects can strongly bias dynamical mass measurements. We use high-resolution FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations to analyze the physical effects that must be considered to correctly infer dynamical masses from gas kinematics. Our analysis covers a range of galaxy properties from low-redshift Milky-Way-mass galaxies to massive high-redshift galaxies (M_* > 10^11 M_sun at z=1). Selecting only snapshots where a disk is present, we calculate the rotational profile v_phi(r) of the cool (10^3.5 K < T < 10^4.5 K) gas and compare it to the circular velocity v_c=sqrt(GM/r). In the simulated galaxies, the gas rotation traces the circular velocity at intermediate radii, but the two quantities diverge significantly in the center and in the outer disk. Our simulations appear to over-predict observed rotational velocities in the centers of massive galaxies (likely from a lack of black hole feedback), so we focus on larger radii. Gradients in the turbulent pressure at these radii can provide additional radial support and bias dynamical mass measurements low by up to 40%. In both the interior and exterior, the gas' motion can be significantly non-circular due to e.g. bars, satellites, and inflows/outflows. We discuss the accuracy of commonly-used analytic models for pressure gradients (or "asymmetric drift") in the ISM of high-redshift galaxies.

description: Caribbean food imports often face detentions and refusals by the US resulting in a major loss of income. In this paper, we consider a classification procedure based on transvariation probabilities to correctly identify cases that lead to food detention. This is based upon several background variables on fourteen Latin American and Caribbean countries. A method for selecting variables according to their contribution towards predicting detention is given. For our particular sample, the selection method chose foreign direct investment as the variable that carried the most information in determining food detention. After removing variables that were non-informative about food detention status, a leave-one-out cross-validation shows that methods based on transvariation probabilities were superior to classical methods in predicting food detention.

Mixing and Accretion in lambda Bootis Stars

description: Strong evidence for deep mixing has been uncovered for slowly rotating F, and A stars of the main sequence. As the accretion/diffusion model for the formation of lboo stars is heavily dependent on mixing in superficial regions, such deep mixing may have important repercussions on our understanding of these stars. It is shown that deep mixing at a level similar to that of FmAm stars increases the amount of matter that needs to be accreted by the stars with respect with the standard models by some three orders of magnitude. It is also shown that significantly larger accretion rates have to be maintained, as high as $10^{-11}$~M$_\sun yr^{-1}$, to prevent meridional circulation from canceling the effect of accretion. The existence of old ($\approx 1$~Gyr) is not a likely outcome of the present models for accretion/diffusion with or without deep mixing. It is argued that lboo stars are potentially very good diagnostics of mixing mechanisms in moderately fast rotators.
