description: Ono što se doskora kod nas moglo vidjeti tek u akcijskim filmovima, u Federaciji BiH bi uskoro trebala postati stvarnost. Osobe osuđene na kaznu zatvora u trajanju do jedne godine, pod određenim uvjetima, umjesto da tu kaznu izvršavaju u ustanovama predviđenim za to, kaznu bi mogle izvršavati kao kućni zatvor s elektronskim nadzorom. Osim njih, osuđene osobe koje koriste izvanzavodske pogodnosti, te osobe koje se otpuštaju na uvjetni otpust, mogle bi se elektronski nadzirati. Međutim, što to uistinu znači? Je li to povlađivanje počiniteljima kaznenih djela ili se radi o potpuno novom pristupu izvršenja kazne zatvora, s implementacijom najnovijih tehnoloških dostignuća? Radi li se samo o uštedi novca jer ga nema za izgradnju zatvora ili se radi o budućnosti izvršenja kaznenih sankcija koja je već počela? Što donosi ta "nova" budućnost izvršenja kaznenih sankcija? Radi li se o ostvarenju Orwellove vizije o Velikom Bratu ili se doista radi o jednoj revolucionarnoj promjeni nabolje? Kamo će se takav pristup razvijati u budućnosti? Sve su to pitanja koja će zasluživati i zahtijevati pomni pristup u budućnosti u Federaciji BiH kako bi se ovakav način izvršenja kazne zatvora i elektronskog nadzora implementirali, a njihove mogućnosti razvile u punom obimu.

description: Let (ξ1, η1), (ξ2, η2) … be a sequence of i.i.d. random vectors taking values in R2, and let S0:=0 and S_n:=ξ1+…+…ξn for n ∈ N. The sequence (Sn-1+ηn)n ∈ N is then called perturbed random walk. For real x, denote by τ(x) the first time the perturbed random walk exits the interval (-∞, x]. We consider a rather intricate case in which Sn drifts to the left, yet the perturbed random walk oscillates because of occasional big jumps to the right of the perturbating sequence (ηn)n ∈ N. Under these assumptions we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the finiteness of power moments of τ(x), thereby solving an open problem posed by Alsmeyer, Iksanov and Meiners.

description: L’objet de cette étude vise à déterminer le marché le plus compétitive pour la filière crevette béninoise et les actions politiques nécessaires à l’amélioration des avantages comparatifs sur les deux marchés. Au total 341 acteurs ont été choisis au hasard au niveau des villages des communes choisies autour du lac Nokoué et Ahémé. Ces acteurs se répartissent comme-suit : 142 pêcheurs, 101 transformatrices et 98 commerçantes. Cette étude utilise la Matrice d’Analyse des Politiques (MAP) pour évaluer la compétitivité des deux différents marchés de la filière crevette au Bénin. Des données aussi bien secondaires que primaires ont été collectées. Les données primaires ont été collectées par questionnaires structurés, à raison d’un questionnaire par catégorie d’acteur. Des résultats, il en ressort que les différents maillons sont rentables et que les deux chaînes de valeur sont compétitives. Mais la chaîne de valeur crevette fumée vers le marché régional est plus rentable que la chaîne de valeur crevette fraîche vers le marché européen et moins compétitive que la chaine de valeur de crevette fraîche pour le marché Européen. De tout ce qui précède, il est à retenir que toute politique de relance de l’exportation des crevettes sera bénéfique pour les acteurs concernés et pour la nation. Cette politique devra surtout viser à développer l’aquaculture des crevettes en vue d’améliorer la compétitivité vis-à-vis des grands pays exportateurs des crevettes vers les marchés Américain, Européen et Japonais afin de pouvoir conquérir ces derniers.

description: An explicit evaluation of the spin asymmetry of the deuteron and the associated GDH sum rule is presented which includes photodisintegration, single and double pion and eta production as well. Photodisintegration is treated with a realistic retarded potential and a corresponding meson exchange current. For single pion and eta production the elementary operator from MAID is employed whereas for double pion production an effective Lagrangean approach is used. A large cancellation between the disintegration and the meson production channels yields for the explicit GDH integral a value of 27.31 $μ$b to be compared to the sum rule value 0.65 $μ$b.

description: Proposals aimed at measuring the Electric Dipole Moment (EDM) for charged particles require a good understanding of the systematic errors that can contribute to a vertical spin buildup mimicking the EDM signal to be detected. In what follows, a method of averaging emanating from the Bogoliubov-Krylov Mitropolski method is employed to solve the T-BMT equation and calculate the Berry phases arising for the storage ring frozen spin concept. The formalism employed proved to be particularly useful to determine the evolution of the spin at the observation point, i.e. at the location of the polarimeter. Several selected cases of lattice imperfections were simulated and benchmarked with the analytical estimates. This allowed the proof of the convergence of the numerical simulations and helped gain better understanding of the systematic errors.

description: L’objectif de cet article est de faire la typologie des exploitations agricoles bénéficiaires du Conseil à l’Exploitation Familiale et d’analyser leur rentabilité économique à travers les indicateurs suivants : la marge nette (MN), la productivité moyenne du travail (PML) et le taux de rentabilité interne (TRI). L’étude a été réalisée dans la commune de Banikoara auprès de quatre-vingt (80) producteurs auditeurs CEF choisis aléatoirement. L’analyse des données collectées sur la base d’un questionnaire a été faite par l’Analyse en Composantes Principales (ACP) et les tests de comparaison de moyennes (ANOVA). Les résultats ont indiqué qu’il existe trois groupes homogènes d’exploitations participant au CEF et que la production cotonnière est économiquement rentable pour tous les groupes. Mais, la marge nette, la productivité moyenne du travail et le taux de rentabilité interne sont statistiquement égaux au seuil de 5% pour les trois groupes identifiés. Ces résultats ressortent le caractère superficiel des effets de l’approche, qui n’arrive pas à engendrer de différences significatives au sein des auditeurs CEF en termes de performances économiques. L’amélioration du niveau éducatif des paysans à travers l’alphabétisation en langue locale serait d’une grande importance pour la maîtrise de l’approche.

description: Combining ab-initio and self-consistent parametrized tight-binding calculations we analyze the conductance properties of atomic chains of 5d elements like Au, Pt and Ir. It is shown that, in addition to the even-odd parity oscillations characteristic of Au, conduction channels associated with the almost full d bands in Pt and Ir give rise to longer periods which could be observed in sufficiently long chains. The results for short chains are in good agreement with recent experimental measurements.

description: Les effets du Conseil à l’Exploitation Familiale sur le revenu et la productivité agricoles des bénéficiaires ont été évalués dans cet article. Les données collectées auprès de cent soixante (160) producteurs choisis aléatoirement à raison de quatre-vingt (80) auditeurs CEF (AC) et quatre-vingt (80) non auditeurs ont été analysées à l’aide de l’approche naïve d’estimation d’effet et de régression linéaire multiple. Les résultats ont montré que les paysans auditeurs CEF sont économiquement plus performants que leurs homologues non auditeurs. La marge nette des auditeurs est significativement différente de celle des non auditeurs au seuil de 1% ; la productivité de la main d’oeuvre et le taux de rentabilité interne des deux groupes sont significativement différents au seuil de 5%. Des sept variables introduites dans le modèle, le contact avec un animateur de CEF a été significatif au seuil de 1% ; la taille du ménage et le nombre d’actif agricole ont été significatifs au seuil de 5%. Le CEF a eu donc un effet positif sur le revenu agricole des bénéficiaires. Toutefois, l’appropriation du CEF par les producteurs a constitué un problème majeur. La continuité avec l’alphabétisation des producteurs en langue locale serait un gage pour la maîtrise du CEF. Aussi, l’extension de la démarche aux autres activités du ménage ainsi que la prise en compte d’un nombre plus élevé de femmes contribueront-elles à améliorer considérablement les conditions de vie des populations rurales.
Resource-Constrained State Estimation with Multi-Modal Sensing

Subjects: subject: 80104 Computer Vision
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Accurate and reliable state estimation is essential for safe mobile robot operation in real world environments because ego-motion estimates are required by many critical autonomy functions such as control, planning, and mapping. Computing accurate state estimates depends on the physical characteristics of the environment, the selection of suitable sensors to capture that information, and the availability of compute to perform inference on sensor observations. Because environment characteristics cannot be controlled in typical field operation scenarios, careful sensor selection and efficient fusion algorithms are required to achieve accurate, high rate state estimation on mobile robots. Visual-inertial odometry is well-suited to onboard state estimation in environments that have rich visual texture. As with other vision-based methods, it performs poorly when operating on images with non-ideal characteristics such as low visual texture, dynamic objects, or far away scenes. Common methods to mitigate these problems include introducing visual observationsfrom different fields of view and using depth observations. However, processing additional sources and types of observations requires more computation, which is extremely limited on size, weight, and power constrained robots such as micro aerial vehicles. Therefore, there is a need to reduce the computational burden associated with using more observations to increase accuracy through efficient selection of useful observations from multiple heterogeneous sensors. In this thesis, we propose an optimization-based state estimator that fuses observations from multiple heterogeneous sensors to achieve reliable performance in scenarios that are challenging for typical minimal sensing configurations. The foundation is a baseline monocular sparse visual-inertial odometry algorithm using fixed-lag smoothing augmented with improvements in covariance estimation and initialization from rest. We extend this formulation to improve state estimation performance in non-ideal sensing conditions by (1) modifying the visual-inertial odometry framework to support multiple synchronous cameras with disjoint fields of view, (2) leveraging depth observations to boost performance in visually degraded environments, and (3) developing methods to allocate limited computational resources to process exteroceptive observations that are more informative for estimation. The proposed methods are evaluated both in real time onboard an aerial robot flying in a variety of challenging environments, as well as in postprocessing on datasets collected using the aerial robot.

description: With recent advances in the field of machine learning, the use of deep neural networks for time series forecasting has become more prevalent. The quasi-periodic nature of the solar cycle makes it a good candidate for applying time series forecasting methods. We employ a combination of WaveNet and LSTM neural networks to forecast the sunspot number using the years 1749 to 2019 and total sunspot area using the years 1874 to 2019 time series data for the upcoming Solar Cycle 25. Three other models involving the use of LSTMs and 1D ConvNets are also compared with our best model. Our analysis shows that the WaveNet and LSTM model is able to better capture the overall trend and learn the inherent long and short term dependencies in time series data. Using this method we forecast 11 years of monthly averaged data for Solar Cycle 25. Our forecasts show that the upcoming Solar Cycle 25 will have a maximum sunspot number around 106 $\pm$ 19.75 and maximum total sunspot area around 1771 $\pm$ 381.17. This indicates that the cycle would be slightly weaker than Solar Cycle 24.

Multiple junction biasing of superconducting tunnel junction detectors

description: We describe a new biasing scheme for single photon detectors based on superconducting tunnel junctions. It replaces a single detector junction with a circuit of three junctions and achieves biasing of a detector junction at subgap currents without the use of an external magnetic field. The biasing occurs through the nonlinear interaction of the three junctions, which we demonstrate through numerical simulation. This nonlinear state is numerically stable against external fluctuations and is compatible with high fidelity electrical readout of the photon-induced current. The elimination of the external magnetic field potentially increases the capability of these types of photon detectors and eases constraints involved in the fabrication of large detector arrays.

description: In the last decade of the 20th century, the main enterprises of integration in which Brazil was involved were MERCOSUR (Common Market of the South America) and the negotiations about the formation of FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas). The regional integration together with the trade liberalization has deeply benefited the Brazilian agricultural sector, and nowadays the country is ranked as the second biggest agricultural product exporter country inside the FTAA. The effects on commerce are directly related to the trade restrictions once imposed on partners and on trade volume initially verified among these countries. Considering this aspect, the goal of this study is to recognize the probable effects of Brazil’s participation in FTAA in what refers to coffee, cacao, soy, sugar, orange juice and meat exports in the period of 1999-2002. This analysis was performed under the optics of the partial equilibrium that was developed by Laird and Yeats (1986), so that, to estimate the effects of first order, i.e. the reductions in the trade restrictions using the elasticities approach. The conclusion made in relation to the simulations that have been made to the period of 1999-2002, with total liberation from trade restrictions imposed by FTAA’s country members to the Brazilian exports, is that, for the group of products studied, the trade creation effect turns out to be superior to the trade diversion one, showing clearly the competitiveness of Brazilian agribusiness inside FTAA.

description: The concept of complementarity, originally defined for non-commuting observables of quantum systems with states of non-vanishing dispersion, is extended to classical dynamical systems with a partitioned phase space. Interpreting partitions in terms of ensembles of epistemic states (symbols) with corresponding classical observables, it is shown that such observables are complementary to each other with respect to particular partitions unless those partitions are generating. This explains why symbolic descriptions based on an \emph{ad hoc} partition of an underlying phase space description should generally be expected to be incompatible. Related approaches with different background and different objectives are discussed.

description: The presence of a very small amount of high molecular weight polymer significantly delays the pinch-off singularity of a drop of water falling from a faucet, and leads to the formation of a long-lived cylindrical filament. In this paper we present experiments, numerical simulations, and theory which examines the pinch-off process in the presence of polymers. The numerical simulations are found to be in excellent agreement with experiment. As a test case, we establish the conditions under which a small bead remains on the filament; we find that this is due to the asymmetry induced by the self-similar pinch-off of the droplet.

We identify the CP odd elements of the W boson density matrix and propose CP sensitive triple-product asymmetries of the chargino decay products. We calculate the density-matrix elements, the CP asymmetries and the cross sections in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters μand M_1 for an e+ e- linear collider with \sqrt{s} = 800 GeV and longitudinally polarized beams. The asymmetries can reach 7% and we discuss the feasibility of measuring these asymmetries.

description: Luminosity is a measure of the colliding frequency between beam and target and it is a crucial parameter for the measurement of absolute values, such as reaction cross sections. In this paper, we make use of experimental data from the ESR storage ring to demonstrate that the luminosity can be precisely determined by modelling the measured Rutherford scattering distribution. The obtained results are in good agreement with an independent measurement based on the x-ray normalization method. Our new method provides an alternative way to precisely measure the luminosity in low-energy stored-beam configurations. This can be of great value in particular in dedicated low-energy storage rings where established methods are difficult or impossible to apply.

Decolonization, nation-states, and the emerging territoriality : indigeneity in a contested zone
Creators: name: Chowdhury, Md. Nazmul Hasan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) is home to thirteen different indigenous groups in Bangladesh. An historical examination of the circumstances of indigenous peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts reveals that indigenes had a complicated relationship with the Bangladeshi state over the last few decades, and prior to that with the British and the Pakistani regimes that ruled them. In this paper, I show how the formation of indigeneity in the Chittagong Hill Tracts is shaped by colonialism, decolonization, and the relationship between nation-states and global powers. Thus, in addition to studying the relationship between the state and indigenous people within a single nation-state framework, my focus is on situating it into a regional and global context. It is often argued that in this age of increased connections, nationstates lose control over their localities. This paper, instead, shows that the state still practices authority. The state has become more flexible over the last decade and ultimately signed a treaty with the representatives of Hill inhabitants in 1997. Along with other factors, this process indicates the influences of transnational entities over the state. However, although the treaty guarantees a legal safeguard for indigenous people, their 'real freedom' has been undermined by the state's misinterpretation, or non-implementation of the treaty. This shows that the state can manipulate transnational entities' will and vigilance and reconfigure relationship with the local. This particular tactic of the state creates a procedural problem for indigenous people and draws them into administrative complexities, and often indigenous people do not have enough expertise to overcome this bureaucratic 'red-tape'. It is a puzzle for these people in which they can neither neglect the state and choose a path of renewed resistance, nor get equal rights and enough cooperation from the state. In such a situation, indigenous people are even more vulnerable to an internal conflict than they were during the period of their violent struggle against the state.

description: The present work aims to analyze the changes in the insti-tutional environments, European and National, due to European con-sumers’ requirements regarding the quality of products, about the Na-tional Beef Agro-Industrial System. The results indicate that despite the rise on requirements from European consumers, which has changed the institutional environment of the block, with consequent changes in the Brazilian institutional environment, there has been little impact on the governing procedures of transactions of SAG of domestic beef. Regarding the relationship between beef export slaughterhouse industry and beef suppliers, it was verified that there are no establishments of agreements for the transactions, that this fact can be explained through the creation of reliable commitments between the parts, as for the paying and deli-very of cattle, and also by the lack of enforcement on traceability on the part of the European Union and the Brazilian government (which reduce the peculiarity of the assets of the raw material). As for the relationship between the slaughterhouse and its consumers of the domestic market, a reliable commitment prevails between the two parties, being the transac-tions conducted through the market. Regarding the relationship between the export slaughterhouse and the European market, the rise on the pe-culiarity of assets leads to the establishment of agreements as a way to reduce the costs of transactions.

description: The present work aimed to evaluate the adjustments occurred in the food sector of biscuit and pastry in Brazil, from 1995 to 2001, using the Structure-Conduct-Performance model of the Industrial Organization theory. The results demonstrated that the new competitive environment, started by the non-regulation in the sector and by the commercial openness, allowed tougher competition and restrained the market power of the major industries. Both segments had to adjust themselves to the demands of the consumer in the market by improving the quality of their products, furnishing a wider variety and reducing their costs. The whole process was led by the major industries, which invested in technology and productive capacity and, continually, increased their participation in the market. Therefore, as a result of these adjustments, there has been an improvement in the economic performance and a greater beneﬁ t for society.

description: We present a theory for the emergence of a supersolid state in a cigar-shaped dipolar quantum Bose gas. Our approach is based on a reduced three-dimensional (3D) theory, where the condensate wavefunction is decomposed into an axial field and a transverse part described variationally. This provides an accurate fully 3D description that is specific to the regime of current experiments and efficient to compute. We apply this theory to understand the phase diagram for a gas in an infinite tube potential. We find that the supersolid transition has continuous and discontinuous regions as the averaged density varies. We develop two simplified analytic models to characterize the phase diagram and elucidate the roles of quantum droplets and of the roton excitation.

description: U skladu sa izlaznom strategijom Haškog tribunala, te rezolucijama Vijeća sigurnosti Ujedinjenih naroda broj 1503 (2003.) i 1534 (2004.), ovaj ad hoc sud bi trebao prestati sa radom do 2010. godine. Do tada bi trebao ispuniti ciljeve koji su se pred njega postavili, a sastojali su se, između ostalog, iz kaznenog procesuiranja zločina počinjenih na području bivše Jugoslavije od 1991. godine i zločinaca najvišeg ranga, te jačanja nacionalnih sudova zemalja bivše Jugoslavije za provođenje istih ciljeva u skladu sa istodobnom nadležnošću Haškog tribunal i nacionalnih sudova. Sami ciljevi nisu bile niti lagani, niti lako ostvarivi. Što zbog objektivnih, što zbog subjektivnih razloga, Haški tribunal nije uspio ostvariti sve zadane ciljeve. Neke od njih, objektivno gledano, nije niti mogao ostvariti sud udaljen tisuću i petsto kilometara od ljudi kojima se svojim radom direktno obraćao. Kako bi se ti ciljevi ostvarili, te kako bi Haški tribunal mogao okončati svoj rad kao ad hoc sud, neki od predmeta koji se sada nalaze u postupku pred sudom, biti će ustupljeni državama bivše Jugoslavije na daljnje postupanje (neki predmeti su već ustupljeni Bosni i Hercegovini, Hrvatskoj i Srbiji), u skladu sa pravilom 11 bis Pravilnika o postupku i dokazima Haškog tribunala. Na taj način će zemlje bivše Jugoslavije uzeti aktivno učešće u postizanju ciljeva koje je međunarodna zajednica postavila pred ovaj sud, zamjenjujući svoju do sada (uglavnom) pasivnu ulogu u procesuiranju ovih predmeta aktivnom, iako kontroliranom, ulogom. Osim toga, zemlje bivše Jugoslavije će, na taj način, pokazati kako je svijest o potrebi utvrđivanja objektivnih činjenicama o događajima od 1991. godine, zločinima koji su počinjeni, počiniteljima I žrtvama, nadvladala dugogodišnje "pretvaranje" o nepostojanju tih zločina, zločinaca, i žrtava.

description: The article analyzes the effects of economic sectors and edu-cational level of workers on their probability to earn higher wages, at the county level in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Special emphasis is given to the agricultural sector, since it employs 20% of the total labor force occupied in the state. The IBGE Demographic Census of 2000 is the basis for the data. Logit is the statistical model used for the analysis. One of the conclusions of the analysis is that the possibility of the agricultural sector, in a county, to generate higher wages is limited, as long as it remains solely a producer of the primary product. In order to generate higher wages, it is necessary that the county aggregates other sectors, as for example, industrialization, storage and transportation. Besides, the qualification of the worker is also important, so he can assume new job opportunities in the aggregated sectors, which contri-butes for higher wages.

description: This article summarizes the experience of integrating family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) in the USAID Kenya-funded AFYA TIMIZA program, implemented by Amref Health Africa in Kenya. It provides insights to technical advisors and program managers that there is no one-size-fits-all approach in FP/RH service provision, access, and utilization: context is a critical factor in design and implementation. It demonstrates the need to continuously adapt to community dynamics to ensure that these essential services reach communities that would have otherwise been ostracized. This is done through innovative models that take advantage of the nomadic lifestyles of
of these communities

Knowledge, behaviors, and beliefs related to ischemic heart disease : a comparative study of IndoCanadians and EuroCanadians
Creators: name: Rodrigues, Giselle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Background and Purpose: The increased mortality from ischemic heart disease (IHD) observed in East Indians who emigrate to the west is due to genetic susceptibility in combination with lifestyle-related risk factors. Lifestyle factors, ingrained in cultural values, are influenced by environmental factors encountered in the host country. An understanding of the factors that influence health behaviors that predispose to IHD is essential for effective prevention strategies targeted towards this group. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the impact of culture on IHD-related knowledge, behaviors, and beliefs of the immigrant IndoCanadian (IC) and the dominant EuroCanadian (EC) ethnic groups. Design: Descriptive comparative study using a structured self-administered questionnaire. Subjects and Methods: 102 first-generation ICs and 102 ECs, recruited via convenience sampling from community centers across the British Columbia lower mainland, completed and returned the questionnaires which were designed to obtain information about the IHDrelated knowledge, behaviors, and beliefs. Results: ICs had lower knowledge of IHD risk factors, and were less likely to exercise, or have healthful dietary practices compared with ECs. Barriers and motivating factors for health behaviors identified by the two groups reflected their cultural orientations. Duration of residence in Canada (for IC immigrants) had no effect on knowledge scores, physical activity levels, or health beliefs although dietary practices had improved in the long-term immigrants. Discussion and Conclusions: In accordance with cultural theory, these findings describe differences between the East Indian and European Canadian cultures with respect to health behaviors and beliefs. Although the findings support that ICs were less likely to practice positive health behaviors compared with ECs, there is no evidence to suggest deterioration in health practices following immigration to explain the increased IHD mortality in this group. Similar high rates of IHD mortality among urban dwelling East Indians in India compared with migrant ICs suggest the role of the westernized environment in risk factor determination. The present study demonstrates that IC cultural values augment the effect of the Canadian environment in influencing their health behaviors. Recommendations are provided for the design and dissemination of health education and health promotion strategies targeted toward these groups.
Different universality classes of isostructural U$TX$ compounds ($T$ = Rh, Co, Co$_{0.98}$Ru$_{0.02}$; $X$ = Ga, Al)

description: Magnetization isotherms of the 5f-electron ferromagnets URhGa, UCoGa and UCo0.98Ru0.02Al were measured at temperatures in the vicinity of their Curie temperature in order to investigate the critical behavior near the ferromagnetic phase transition. These compounds adopt the layered hexagonal ZrNiAl-type structure and exhibit huge uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The critical \b{eta}, γ and δ exponents were determined by analyzing Arrott-Noakes plots, Kouvel-Fisher plots, critical isotherms, scaling theory and Widom scaling relations. The values obtained for URhGa and UCoGa can be explained by the results of the renormalization group theory for a 2D Ising system with long-range interactions similar to URhAl reported by other investigators. On the other hand, the critical exponents determined for UCo0.98Ru0.02Al are characteristic of a 3D Ising ferromagnet with short-range interactions suggested in previous studies also for the itinerant 5f-electron paramagnet UCoAl situated near a ferromagnetic transition. The change from the 2D to the 3D Ising system is related to the gradual delocalization of 5f electrons in the series of the URhGa, URhAl, UCoGa to UCo0.98Ru0.02Al and UCoAl compounds and appears close to the strongly itinerant nonmagnetic limit. This indicates possible new phenomena that may be induced by the change of dimensionality in the vicinity of the quantum critical point.

description: The main objective of this article was to analyse the hybrid corn program considering competitiveness, techonology level, creation of job opportunities and income in the state of Ceará. The research was conducting in the main hybrid corn producing counties (Iguatú, Mila-gres e Capistrano). The data were obtained by interviewing corn produc-ing farmers. Technology index for each technology as well as for all the tecnonologies as a group, used by corn farmers, was calculated. The rent-ability indicators such as gross profit, operational profit and profitability index were determined. The technologies of weed control, seed quality and thinning of crop contributed more in the formation of general tech-nology index of hybrid corn production, where as the technology of after harvesting had the lowest participation in the construction of this index. The average income per hectare of hybrid corn was higher as compared to corn variety in all the three counties considered in this research. The indicators analysed showed that the production of hybrid corn is profit-able and studied farmers are competitives.
New-Physics scenarios in $ΔS = 2$ decays of the B_c meson

description: The $ΔS = 2$ transition $b \to s s \bar d$ is extremely small in the standard model, proceeding only via box diagrams. Such decays are thus an appropriate ground for searching new physics. We present a study of several two-body and three-body decays of the B_c meson belonging to this class. Our calculation covers the minimal supersymmetric model with and without R-parity and a two-Higgs-doublet model. The current limits on the parameters of these models allow for rather large branching ratios for several two and three-body hadronic decay modes of B_c, up to the 10^{-4} range in the minimal supersymmetric model with R-parity violation.

description: The problems caused by air pollution as a function of bur-ned-over lands in and out of Acre state cause grave injuries to the po-pulation health. Since the burned-over lands cause damages to society, the monetary value mensuration which the same is willing to pay to diminish their impacts constitutes important information to evaluate whether a depolluting project is economically feasible. In general, this research sought to examine the impacts that the ar pollution for ﬁre vegetation has on the Acrean society. Speciﬁcally, a) to determine how much society is willing to pay for the decrease in the injuries caused by burned lands, and b) to compare the aggregated willingness-to-pay (WTP) value with the cost of the respiratory morbidity occasioned by the burned lands for the year 2004. The externalities theory was utili-zed to reference this work. The referendum with follow-up was utilized to estimate the beneﬁt for depollution of air of the Acre State. The re-sults show that the dollar applied in internments expenditures for res-piratory morbidity aiming at air bettering brings a beneﬁt of US$ 21.08 meaning that the improvement of this environmental characteristic is economically feasible. At last, the value that society disposes to con-tribute for air improvement in State of Acre can be utilized to ﬁnance the development of technologies and rural extension projects and make possible to create objective conditions to the rural producer to incorpo-rate in his productive process an alternative practice to burned lands in the soil prepare for the farming production process.

description: As the COVID-19 pandemic propagates throughout the world, speculations have begun of the post-pandemic world. In this article, I argue that the world after COVID-19 will be a different and difficult one, with unprecedented economic hardships and rampant social anxieties becoming the new normal. However, the pandemic also offers a chance to reflect and to revise our course, and to come up with an alternative that will be just and fair for the many. I begin the article by offering an assessment of COVID-19's impact on global power structures and move on to elaborate its possible implications on political processes, particularly on the instruments of democracy and the rule of law. Drawing from various experiences reported during the pandemic, I argue that the post-pandemic world will be characterized by populism, nationalism, intensified citizen surveillance, and curtailed and compromised individual liberties. The pandemic will also inflict severe damage to globalization, free trade, multilateralism, and development cooperation. I conclude the article by arguing that most of the problems witnessed during this crisis, however, are systemic, and caused by dysfunctional neoliberal corporate capitalism. In that sense, if there is a political mandate of this crisis-that is to find an alternative to the obsolete and oppressive neoliberal corporate capitalism which has served a few and failed the many.

description: We report correlation and cross-correlation measurements of photons emitted under continuous wave excitation by a single II-VI quantum dot (QD) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. A standard technique of microphotoluminescence combined with an ultrafast photon correlation set-up allowed us to see an antibunching effect on photons emitted by excitons recombining in a single CdTe/ZnTe QD, as well as cross-correlation within the biexciton ($X_{2}$)-exciton ($X$) radiative cascade from the same dot. Fast microchannel plate photomultipliers and a time-correlated single photon module gave us an overall temporal resolution of 140 ps better than the typical exciton lifetime in II-VI QDs of about 250ps.
