description: A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of nilpotent products of cyclic groups, and obtain a generalization of a theorem of Baer for the metabelian small class case. The approach is also used to obtain some recent results on the capability of certain nilpotent groups of class 2. We also prove a necessary condition for the capability of an arbitrary p-group of class k, and some further results.

description: The interlayer magnetoresistance of the low-dimensional organic metal α-(BEDT-TTF)2KHg(SCN)4 under pressure shows features which are likely associated with theoretically predicted field-induced charge-density-wave (FICDW) transitions. At ambient pressure, a magnetic field strongly tilted towards the conducting layers induces a series of hysteretic anomalies. We attribute these anomalies to a novel kind of FICDW originating from a superposition of the orbital quantization of the nesting vector and Pauli effect on the charge-density wave.

description: Due to the quick development of e-commerce, more and more consumers have accepted food consumption with different e-commerce modes as a part of their daily lives. In recent years, a new e-commerce mode- New Retail is starting to appear across the world. This study examined the impacts of food choice motives and socio-demographic characteristics on consumer food choice with the New Retail e-commerce mode. It also explored consumer preferences of specific food categories for the New Retail food consumption. An online survey was administered with 435 participants from three Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Results of linear regression analyses indicated that the New Retail food consumption was significantly associated with the following food choice motives and socio-demographic characteristics: Taste appeal, Quality concern, Others’ reviews, Discount, Gender, Household size, Age, Income, Occupation and Marital status. Meanwhile Live aquatic product and Fresh fruit were the most frequently consumed food categories with the New Retail mode by consumers. The findings can help food producers and policy-makers to develop effective marketing strategies and promotion policies for their products to meet the consumer needs in e-commerce age.

description: The mod p cohomology of a space comes with an action of the Steenrod Algebra. L. Schwartz [A propos de la conjecture de non realisation due a N. Kuhn, Invent. Math. 134, No 1, (1998) 211--227] proved a conjecture due to N. Kuhn [On topologicaly realizing modules over the Steenrod algebra, Annals of Mathematics, 141 (1995) 321--347] stating that if the mod $p$ cohomology of a space is in a finite stage of the Krull filtration of the category of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra then it is locally finite. Nevertheless his proof involves some finiteness hypotheses. We show how one can remove those finiteness hypotheses by using the homotopy theory of profinite spaces introduced by F. Morel [Ensembles profinis simpliciaux et interpretation geometrique du foncteur T, Bull. Soc. Math. France, 124 (1996) 347--373], thus obtaining a complete proof of the conjecture. For that purpose we build the Eilenberg-Moore spectral sequence and show its convergence in the profinite setting.

description: Corn oil output, a byproduct primarily of the corn refining or wet milling industry, has more than doubled in the last 2 decades, rising from about 151 million pounds in calendar year 1939 to a record 331 million in 1961. Consumption of corn oil has shown a similar trend and this year likely will set a new record. Historically, nearly all crude corn oil has been refined and used mainly as a cooking oil and salad oil. Since 1957, corn oil utilized in the manufacture of margarine has jumped from less than 1 million pounds to about 90 million pounds in 1961. Refined corn oil is among the oils relatively high in polyunsaturated fatty acid, linoleic, an essential dietary substance. However, the debate over the significance of poly-unsaturation as opposed to saturated oils is far from settled. The introduction of several new brands of corn oil margarine along with a vigorous merchandising and promotional campaign by industry has boosted the demand for these products. As a consequence, demand for corn oil has exceeded available supplies and monthly average prices (crude, Decatur) rose steadily from 11.2 cents per pound in November 1959 to 24.7 cents in November 1961. Prices in mid-January 1962 averaged 21.0 cents per pound, about 6.0 cents above last year. Corn oil is produced as a byproduct of three of the corn-using industries. "Dry" millers make breakfast foods, corn meal, hominy, grits, flour, feed and oil; "wet" millers, or corn refiners, manufacture starch, syrup, sugar, feed, and oil; distillers make whiskey and industrial alcohol.

description: This article provides an overview, primarily from an experimental perspective, of recent progress and future prospects in using helium to realize a range of quantum materials of generic interest, by "top-down" and "bottom-up" nanotechnology. We can grow model systems to realise new quantum states of matter, and explore key issues in condensed matter physics. In the language of cold atomic gases, two dimensional and confined 3He and 4He provide "quantum simulators", with the potential to uncover new emergent quantum states. These include: strictly 2D Fermi system with Mott-Hubbard transition; interacting coupled 2D fermion-boson system; heavy fermion quantum criticality; ideal 2D frustrated ferromagnetism; 2D quantum spin liquid; intertwined superfluid and density wave order with emergent large symmetry; topological mesoscopic superfluidity (new materials and emergent excitations).

The use of large spectroscopic galaxy surveys offers the prospect of obtaining improved estimates of the local supernova rate, with the added benefit of a very different selection function to that of conventional photometric surveys. In this Letter we present an overview of our search methodology and the details of 19 Type Ia supernovae found in SDSS--DR1. The supernovae sample is used to make a preliminary estimate, Gamma_Ia = 0.4 +/- 0.2 h^2 SNu, of the cosmological SNe rate.

description: In this work, the first nonlinear particle-in-cell simulations carried out in a stellarator with the global gyrokinetic code EUTERPE using realistic plasma parameters are reported. Several studies are conducted with the aim of enabling reliable nonlinear simulations in stellarators with this code. First, EUTERPE is benchmarked against ORB5 in both linear and nonlinear settings in a tokamak configuration. Next, the use of noise control and stabilization tools, a Krook-type collision operator, markers weight smoothing and heating sources is investigated. It is studied in detail how these tools influence the linear growth rate of instabilities in both tokamak and stellarator geometries and their influence on the linear zonal flow evolution in a stellarator. Then, it is studied how these tools allow improving the quality of the results in a set of nonlinear simulations of electrostatic turbulence in a stellarator configuration. Finally, these tools are applied to a W7-X magnetic configuration using experimental plasma parameters.

description: The sediment profile from Lake Gościąż in central Poland comprises a continuous, seasonally resolved and exceptionally well‐preserved archive of the Younger Dryas (YD) climate variation. This provides a unique opportunity for detailed investigation of lake system responses during periods of rapid climate cooling (YD onset) and warming (YD termination). The new varve record of Lake Gościąż presented here spans 1662 years from the late Allerød (AL) to the early Preboreal (PB). Microscopic varve counting provides an independent chronology with a YD duration of 1149+14/–22 years, which confirms previous results of 1140±40 years. We link stable oxygen isotopes and chironomid‐based air temperature reconstructions with the response of various geochemical and varve microfacies proxies especially focusing on the onset and termination of the YD. Cooling at the YD onset lasted ~180 years, which is about a century longer than the terminal warming that was completed in ~70 years. During the AL/YD transition, environmental proxy data lagged the onset of cooling by ~90 years and revealed an increase of lake productivity and internal lake re‐suspension as well as slightly higher detrital sediment input. In contrast, rapid warming and environmental changes during the YD/PB transition occurred simultaneously. However, initial changes such as declining diatom deposition and detrital input occurred already a few centuries before the rapid warming at the YD/PB transition. These environmental changes likely reflect a gradual increase in summer air temperatures already during the YD. Our data indicate complex and differing environmental responses to the major climate changes related to the YD, which involve different proxy sensitivities and threshold processes.

description: Early detection and treatment of depression is essential in promoting remission, preventing relapse, and reducing the emotional burden of the disease. Current diagnoses are primarily subjective, inconsistent across professionals, and expensive for individuals who may be in urgent need of help. This paper proposes a novel approach to automated depression detection in speech using convolutional neural network (CNN) and multipart interactive training. The model was tested using 2568 voice samples obtained from 77 non-depressed and 30 depressed individuals. In experiment conducted, data were applied to residual CNNs in the form of spectrograms, images auto-generated from audio samples. The experimental results obtained using different ResNet architectures gave a promising baseline accuracy reaching 77%.

description: Evidence from developed countries shows that there is a significant gender gap in STEM occupations. Girls may begin to underperform in math early as primary school. One possible explanation is the negative stereotype threat towards girls. However, this has been understudied in rural China. In this paper, we describe the math performance gender gap in rural China, compare the gender gap between rural and urban China, and finally compare the Chinese situation with other countries. We further examine possible explanations for the gender gap from comparative perspectives. Using first hand datasets of 3,789 primary students and 12,702 junior high students in China, combing with OECD 2012 PISA survey data, we find that in both rural and urban China, boys outperform girls in math. As students grow older, the gap widens, which is larger than in many other countries. We further find that both the gender gaps in math self-concept and math anxiety and discriminatory family investment towards girls are not sufficient to explain the wide math performance gaps. Our study suggests the inequality of education in rural China still merits concern and calls for further work to explain the observed gender gap in math performance.

description: Food inflation and its associated drivers is an important issue to consider in a food security and macroeconomic context. Despite this, scientific research on this is sparse. This study gauges the impact of key fundamental variables on food inflation in terms of magnitude and duration. It employs time series econometric techniques and finds that the exchange rate, world food/commodity prices and local agricultural prices are the main drivers of food inflation in South Africa. In terms of the short-run dynamics, the results suggest that agricultural prices and the exchange rate take up to two months to manifest in food inflation, whereas world commodity prices only affect local food inflation after eight months. The effect of a recent drought and exchange rate depreciation on food inflation is also explored, in terms of scale and persistence. Simulations suggest that the length and effect of the recent drought, as manifested in agricultural prices, will result in double-digit food inflation lasting in excess of 12 months after the commencement of the shock. Simulation results also show that perseverance in exchange rate shocks seems to affect the scale of the final effect on food inflation more than the perseverance. Acknowledgement :

description: Pervasive use of poor quality seed remains an important reason for low yields throughout the developing world. We attempt to increase the quality of the local stock of seed tubers among a sample of Irish potato farmers in Uganda. We do this by providing agricultural extension information about (i) how to select the best seed tubers and (ii) how to properly handle and store the seed potatoes until the next planting season. The information is provided through appealing videos, shown to individual farmers on mobile devices. While we find some effects on knowledge immediately after having shown the video, this effect has vanished one year later. We also find no effect of the videos on practices, input use, and final outcomes such as yield and consumption. However, there are signs that spillovers between treatment and control farmers may affect our results. After modeling spillovers among neighboring farmers, we find evidence that especially the video containing information on seed selection translated into adoption of improved practices, higher yields and increased welfare.

description: We report on the X-ray observations of the eclipsing polar HY Eri (RX J0501-0359), along with its photometric, spectrophotometric, and spectropolarimetric optical variations, collected over 30 years. With an orbital period of 2.855 h, HY Eri falls near the upper edge of the 2-3 h period gap. After 2011, the system went into a prolonged low state, continuing to accrete at a low level. We present an accurate alias-free long-term orbital ephemeris and report a highly significant period change by 10 ms that took place over the time interval from 2011 to 2018. We acquired a high-quality eclipse spectrum that shows the secondary star as a dM5-6 dwarf at a distance $d = 1050 \pm 110$ pc. Based on phase-resolved cyclotron and Zeeman spectroscopy, we identify the white dwarf (WD) in HY Eri as a two-pole accretor with nearly opposite accretion spots of 28 and 30 MG. The Zeeman analysis of the low state spectrum reveals a complex magnetic field structure, which we fit by a multipole model. We detected narrow emission lines from the irradiated face of the secondary star, of which Mg I $λ5170$ with a radial velocity amplitude of $K_2' = 139 \pm 10$ km/s (90% confidence) tracks the secondary more reliably than the narrow H$α$ line. Based on the combined dynamical analysis and spectroscopic measurement of the angular radius of the WD, we obtain a primary mass of $M_1 = 0.42 \pm 0.05$ $M_\odot$ (90% confidence errors), identifying it as a probable He WD or hybrid HeCO WD. The secondary is a main sequence star of $M_2 = 0.24 \pm 0.04$ $M_\odot$ that seems to be slightly inflated. The large distance of HY Eri and the lack of similar systems suggest a very low space density of polars with low-mass primary. According to current theory, these systems are destroyed by induced runaway mass transfer, suggesting that HY Eri may be doomed to destruction.

description: The decays of cosmogenic nuclei such as $^9$Li and $^8$He represent one of the largest irreducible backgrounds for reactor antineutrino experiments. The correct treatment of such decays are of fundamental importance in the study of cosmogenic backgrounds and in their rejection, hence the full chain of intermediate excited states must be accounted for. Currently the treatment in GEANT4 of the modelling of de-excitation of $^9$Be and $^8$Li, which are the daughter nuclei of $^9$Li and $^8$He respectively, is not correct. $^9$Be excited states should break into a neutron and two $α$'s, and $^8$Li excited states should emit a neutron and possibly an $α$ and a triton depending on the decay chain, whereas in GEANT4 they both reach the ground state by emitting a gamma. Based on the available nuclear measurements we included the correct treatment of $^9$Li and $^8$He decays in GEANT4 and compared the obtained results with the spectra published by the Double Chooz collaboration finding an excellent agreement.

description: Promoting horticultural crop adoption is a widespread development strategy in developing countries to augment agricultural households income. Other than the income effects demonstrated in previous research, horticultural farming's indirect welfare effects such as child education are less well understood. Educational investment is vital for rural development and long-term agricultural productivity. This study analyzes how horticultural farming affects agricultural household education investment, using cross-sectional data of Indonesian Family Life Survey covering seven provinces in Eastern Indonesia (IFLS East). The multiple outcome variables include education spending, number of hours spent in school, and grade repetition. The possible endogeneity of horticultural farming is carefully addressed through instrumental variables estimation. The overall result indicates a positive impact of horticultural farming on child education spending for primary school children in both genders. We also found negative effects of staple crop farming on education spending and number of hours spent in school. This research contributes to existing empirical research in horticultural development, demonstrating horticultural crop adoption would not only increase household income but also household education investment.

description: We formulate and calculate the evolution of dust in a galaxy focusing on the distinction among various dust components -- silicate, aromatic carbon, and non-aromatic carbon. We treat the galaxy as a one-zone object and adopt the evolution model of grain size distribution developed in our previous work. We further include aromatization and aliphatization (inverse reaction of aromatization). We regard small aromatic grains in a radius range of 3--50 Å as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We also calculate extinction curves in a consistent manner with the abundances of silicate and aromatic and non-aromatic carbonaceous dust. Our model nicely explains the PAH abundance as a function of metallicity in nearby galaxies. The extinction curve become similar to the Milky Way curve at age $\sim$ 10 Gyr, in terms of the carbon bump strength and the far-ultraviolet slope. We also apply our model to starburst galaxies by shortening the star formation time-scale (0.5 Gyr) and increasing the dense-gas fraction (0.9), finding that the extinction curve maintains bumpless shapes (because of low aromatic fractions), which are similar to the extinction curves observed in the Small Magellanic Cloud and high-redshift quasars. Thus, our model successfully explains the variety in extinction curve shapes at low and high redshifts.

description: The importation of liquid milk has been increasing rapidly with an average annual growth rate over 40% after 2008. The objective of this study is to investigate how country-of-origin (COO) affects Chinese consumers' evaluation for imported milk sourced from Australia, New Zealand, German and France. We decompose the effects of COO into dimensions at macro-level related to country images and four dimensions at micro-level related to product attributes. We then investigate how different dimensions influence consumers' evaluation of milk using the Becker-Degroot-Marschak (BDM) auctions. The results show that Chinese consumers would like to pay a premium for UHT milk from foreign countries. The regression results confirm that COO exerts substantial influence on consumers' evaluation for food products. In general, the micro-level image has greater impact on evaluation for milk than macro-level image. Particularly, the macro-political dimension has positive influence on consumers' WTP for milk, while the macro-economic and macro-technological dimension have no significant impact. In terms of the micro-level image, except for the micro-price/value dimension, all the other dimensions exert positively impact on evaluation for milk, i.e. the more favorable of the perceived COO, the higher is the WTP. Specifically, micro-technology/quality dimension exerts greater influence than micro-prestige/brand dimension, and micro-design/package dimension has the least impact.

description: (abridged) We present an analysis of high resolution optical spectra for a sample of very young, mid- to late M, low-mass stellar and substellar objects in Upper Sco and Taurus. Effective temperatures (T_eff) and surface gravities are derived from a multi-feature spectral analysis using TiO, NaI and KI, through comparison with the latest synthetic spectra. In combination, they allow us to determine T_eff to within 50K and gravity to within 0.25 dex. Our high-resolution analysis does not require extinction estimates. Moroever, it yields T_eff and gravities independent of theoretical evolutionary models. We find that our gravities for most of the sample agree remarkably well with the isochrone predictions for the likely cluster ages. However, discrepancies appear in our coolest targets: these appear to have significantly lower gravity (by up to 0.75 dex) than our hotter objects, even though our entire sample covers a relatively narrow range in T_eff (about 300K). This drop in gravity is also implied by inter-comparisons of the data alone, without recourse to synthetic spectra. We consider, and argue against, dust opacity, cool stellar spots or metallicity differences leading to the observed spectral effects; a real decline in gravity is strongly indicated. Such gravity variations are contrary to the predictions of the evolutionary tracks, causing improbably low ages to be inferred from the tracks for our coolest targets. We venture that these results may arise from evolutionary model uncertainties related to accretion, deuterium-burning and/or convection effects. Finally, when combined with photometry and distances, our technique for deriving gravities and temperatures provides a way of obtaining masses and radii for substellar objects independent of evolutionary models, as presented in Paper II.

description: The central market hypothesis is important in analyzing market integration, because it implies a specific market structure while avoiding a simultaneity problem. The aim of this study is to investigate the central market hypothesis for global markets of pistachio over the period of 1988 to 2013.In this study central market hypothesis was tested by Johansson method of integration. The results implied the existence of two markets for pistachios. The first market consists of Iran, United States of America and China, and second market contains Italy, Greece, Germany, Turkey, France and Luxembourg. The results of the first and the second markets indicate that Iran and Turkey acted independently and showed to be price leadership in their market respectively. The law of one price was also established on the markets. According to intense competition of America and China (especially America) with Iran, the role of government is to have appropriate policy in identifying the target markets, branding and encourage exports, in the global market.

description: Comparative advantage is an important indicator in the analysis of international trade flow, however, in empirical studies on agriculture it is often neglected. In this article we aim to analyse comparative advantage in global spices trade and to test stability of trade indices as well as to identify the determinants behind different country performances. Our paper draws global spices trade data from the period 1991 to 2015. Results suggest that global spice trade is pretty much concentrated with Guatemala, Sri Lanka and India obtaining the highest comparative advantages in 1991-2015. However, duration and stability tests indicate that trade advantages have weakened for the majority of the countries concerned. Our model runs show that factor endowments, agricultural value added and regional trade agreements are negatively, while land as well as labour productivity are positively related to comparative advantages in global spices trade.

description: The JavaView visualization framework was designed at the end of the 1990s as a software that provides - among other services - easy, interactive geometry visualizations on web pages. We discuss how this and other design goals were met and present several applications to highlight the contemporary use-cases of the framework. However, as JavaView's easy web exports was based on Java Applets, the deprecation of this technology disabled one main functionality of the software. The remainder of the article uses JavaView as an example to highlight the effects of changes in the underlying programming language on a visualization toolkit. We discuss possible reactions of software to such challenges, where the JavaView framework serves as an example to illustrate development decisions. These discussions are guided by the broader, underlying question as to how long it is sensible to maintain a software.
