Year: 2003
Subjects: Public Economics

description: This chapter provides a brief guide to the development strategies that have been pursued and to the evolution of regulatory laws and institutions in India. It examines the new legal basis for promoting competition in India, and uses the example of telecommunications to explore some of economic and political issues relating to regulation of competition in this sector. It shows that regulatory issues need to be addressed in the early stages of reform and that the effectiveness of regulation will be enhanced by reducing the political element in regulatory decision-making.

description: Background:The Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a major clinical disorder with a number of temporary behavioral changes that is greatlyaffecting female population. Available information about PMS and marital satisfaction remains unclear, especially among womensuffering from symptoms of PMS. The link between spousal supports has also been found to be related to marital satisfaction whileno literature exists scrutinizing the effect of men’s awareness of PMS on marital satisfaction. This study intended to examine men’sawareness of PMS as a predictive factor for marital satisfaction among married women affected by PMS.Aim:To scrutinize the effect of men’s awareness of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) on marital satisfaction among married PMS-affectedwomen.Methods:The sample for this cross-sectional survey comprised of 277 married 19-49 years old women who registered at gynecologicaloutpatient clinics in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected following a multistage random cluster sampling approach in 2015. Mainresearch variables were demographic data, an adapted Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale aswell as men’s awareness of the Premenstrual Syndrome.Results:This study found that the men’s awareness of PMS and having PMS symptoms were correlated to, and at times anticipated, thelikelihood of marital satisfaction among PMS-affected women.Conclusions:The results can assist frontline health workers and health promotion strategists seeking to improve women’s health by providingvisions into personal, relationship, and socio-cultural factors and offering consultation services for PMS issues in primary health carefacilities in Iran.
MK single pion production model

description: This paper presents an update to the MK model, which was developed to describe single pion production in neutrino-nucleon interactions. Originally the MK model used the helicity amplitudes and the hadronic current form-factors of the Rein and Sehgal model. The update includes a new definition for the helicity amplitudes in the first and second resonance regions, and new vector-current form factors. Fits to electron-proton scattering data were used to determine these vector-current form factors, and to assign errors to the constrained free parameters of the model.

description: This paper presents and analyzes the sweeping restructuring of the state in Latin America, using the notion of the rise of the Regulatory State. We present for the first time a database on the creation of regulatory agencies and their reform in 19 countries and 12 sectors over a period of 24 years (1979-2002). We aim to explain the rise of the Regulatory State in Latin America by reference to a distinction between sectoral and national patterns in the diffusion of autonomous regulatory authorities. While national patterns of diffusion imply that the number of prior regulatory authorities within a country will determine the probability of the establishment of new authorities in that country. Sectoral patterns predict that the establishment of new authorities will be determined by the number of regulatory authorities in the same sector in other countries. In order to test these conflicting predictions, we consider the effects of the establishment of regulatory authorities in (a) all sectors in all countries, (b) the same sector by other countries, and (c) other sectors in the relevant country. Thus, the results of the statistical analysis provide a direct measure of contagious patterns of diffusion, namely the effect of prior adoption on current adoption. This distinction is then used to shed light on the two important mechanisms that propel the process of diffusion: policy learning and policy emulation. While international organizations and actors that support and promote the new order usually highlight the first mechanism, critics of the current order usually underline the second mechanism. Our results provide some support for the importance of sectoral diffusion and for the role of emulation in the rise of the Regulatory State. These results coincide with a growing body of literature that emphasizes the role of contagious diffusion in the spread of policy reforms.
Towards a more perspicuous understanding of social responsibility

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis is about the concept of social responsibility in moral education. I deal primarily with presenting a conceptualization of social responsibility as a moral tradition but I neither claim to decisively resolve the tensions surrounding the conceptual status of social responsibility nor articulate the precise definition of a moral tradition. Instead, I will present one way" of conceptualizing social responsibility and moral traditions in moral education that works for some very good reasons. This conceptual examination is both topical and important in British Columbia as The Ministry of Education has implemented an assessment program based upon developing social responsibility in its students. I begin examining the Ministry document, The British Columbia Performance Standards for Social Responsibility, (2000) in light of its ability to provide a basic theoretical framework for moral education toward social responsibility. My purpose in relation to understanding social responsibility is to emphasise the importance of three dimensions of social responsibility in moral education. They are: • Understanding the essential role of reasoning about moral concerns and participating in moral dialogue in learning to be socially responsible. • Coming to realize that social responsibility is itself a moral tradition into which students ought to be initiated. • Realizing the importance of students developing critical appreciation of themselves as moral agents and the virtues related to it. We stand to benefit from a comprehensive definition of social responsibility which recognizes students' potential as moral agents in these three areas. Again, this is not to claim that I have resolved the intellectual tensions related to the conceptual status of social responsibility. However, my intent is to open up the discussion in such a way that encourages future researchers and policy makers to take seriously the importance of adequately defining social responsibility. Furthermore, to connect the practice of teaching students social responsibility with the conceptual task of describing it, I also include an example of my ideas about social responsibility as they look in practice.

description: This paper is concerned with analysing of regional disparities in China during the 90's and the main causes behind the increased regional disparities. It has identified regional openness, along with the nature of property right, as a critical influencing factor to the regional disparities, while found that the technological capabilities have complex association with economic growth. In particular, the empirical evidence has shown that non-firm R & D activities are highly concentrated in the major urban cities in China to such an extent that these resources appear to be negatively associated with income level when the major cities are excluded out of the analysis. Moreover, the coastal provinces have a very low level of non-firm R & D activities despite their high level of regional openness. However, firm R & D activities are relatively high. This reflects the significant difference in terms of development pattern between inland and coastal provinces. These findings have profound policy implications in the nature and potential economic reform in China.

description: With MgH^+ ions as a test case, we investigate to what extent the rotational motion of smaller polar molecular ions sympathetically cooled into Coulomb crystals in linear Paul traps couples to the translational motions of the ion ensemble. By comparing results obtained from rotational state-selective resonance-enhanced photo-dissociation experiments with data from theoretical simulations, we conclude that the effective rotational temperature exceeds the translational temperature (< 100 mK) by more than two orders of magnitude, indicating a very weak coupling. In fact, the experimental results are consistent with the rotational temperature being in thermal equilibrium with the surrounding environment at ~300 K.

description: High resolution single-shot non-relativistic ultrafast electron microscopy(UEM) relies on adaptive optics to compress high intensity bunches using Radio Frequency (RF) cavities. We present a comprehensive discussion of the analytic approaches available to characterize bunch dynamics as an electron bunch goes through a longitudinal focal point after an RF cavity where space charge effects can be large. Methods drawn from the Coulomb explosion literature, the accelerator physics literature and the analytic Gaussian model developed for UEM are compared, utilized and extended in some cases. In particular the longitudinal focus may occur in two different regimes, a bounce-back regime and a crossover regime; and we characterize the critical point separating these regimes in the zero-emittance model. Results from N-particle simulations using efficient multipole methods are compared to the theoretical models revealing features requiring extensions of the analytic approaches; and in particular mechanisms for emittance growth and transfer are discussed.

description: Interaction between the superconductor and ferromagnet in MgB2/Fe wires results in either a plateau or a peak effect in the field dependence of transport critical current, Ic(H). This is in addition to magnetic shielding of external field. Current theoretical models cannot account for the observed peak effect in Ic(H). This paper shows that the theoretical explanation of the peak effect should be sought in terms of interaction between superconductor and magnetic domain structure, obtained after re-magnetization of the iron sheath by the self-field of the current. There is a minimum value of critical current, below which the re-magnetization of the iron sheath and peak effect in Ic(H) are not observed.

description: Ultrafast and sensitive (noise equivalent power <1 nWHz-1/2) light-detection in the Terahertz (THz) frequency range (0.1-10 THz) and at room-temperature is key for applications such as time-resolved THz spectroscopy of gases, complex molecules and cold samples, imaging, metrology, ultra-high-speed data communications, coherent control of quantum systems, quantum optics and for capturing snapshots of ultrafast dynamics, in materials and devices, at the nanoscale. Here, we report room-temperature THz nano-receivers exploiting antenna-coupled graphene field effect transistors integrated with lithographically-patterned high-bandwidth (~100 GHz) chips, operating with a combination of high speed (hundreds ps response time) and high sensitivity (noise equivalent power <120 pWHz-1/2) at 3.4 THz. Remarkably, this is achieved with various antenna and transistor architectures (single-gate, dual-gate), whose operation frequency can be extended over the whole 0.1-10 THz range, thus paving the way for the design of ultrafast graphene arrays in the far infrared, opening concrete perspective for targeting the aforementioned applications.

description: Loop Quantum Gravity defines the quantum states of space geometry as spin networks and describes their evolution in time. We reformulate spin networks in terms of harmonic oscillators and show how the holographic degrees of freedom of the theory are described as matrix models. This allow us to make a link with non-commutative geometry and to look at the issue of the semi-classical limit of LQG from a new perspective. This work is thought as part of a bigger project of describing quantum geometry in quantum information terms.

description: Privatisation is widely promoted as a means of improving economic performance in developing countries. However, the policy remains controversial and the relative roles of ownership and other structural changes, such as competition and regulation, in promoting economic efficiency remain uncertain. This paper reviews the main econometric and case study evidence on the impact of privatisation on economic performance in developing economies. The evidence reviewed suggests that if privatisation is to improve performance over the longer-term, it needs to be complemented by policies that promote competition and effective state regulation, and that privatisation works best in developing countries when it is integrated into a broader process of structural reform. The paper also draws lessons for policy in terms of privatisation objectives, institutional capacity, administrative competence and probity and competition and regulatory capability.
Higher order M theory corrections and the Kac-Moody algebra E10

description: It has been conjectured that the classical dynamics of M theory is equivalent to a null geodesic motion in the infinite-dimensional coset space E10/K(E10) where K(E10) is the maximal compact subgroup of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody group E10. We here provide further evidence for this conjecture by showing that the leading higher order corrections, quartic in the curvature and related three-form dependent terms, correspond to negative imaginary roots of E10. The conjecture entails certain predictions for which higher order corrections are allowed: in particular corrections of type R^M (DF)^N are compatible with E10 only for M+N=3k+1. Furthermore, the leading parts of the R^4, R^7,... terms are predicted to be associated with singlets under the SL(10) decomposition of E10. Although singlets are extremely rare among the altogether 4,400,752,653 representations of SL(10) appearing in E10 up to level l \leq 28, there are indeed singlets at levels l=10 and l =20 which do match with the R^4 and the expected R^7 corrections. Our analysis indicates a far more complicated behavior of the theory near the cosmological singularity than suggested by the standard homogeneous ansätze.

description: In this paper we study thermodynamic properties of dense cold $SU(2)$ QCD within lattice simulation with dynamical rooted staggered quarks which in the continuum limit correspond to $N_f=2$ quark flavours. We calculate baryon density, renormalized chiral and diquark condensates for various baryon chemical potentials in the region $μ\in (0,\,2000)$ MeV. It is found, that in the region $μ\in (0,\,540)$ MeV the system is well described by the ChPT predictions. In the region $μ> 540$ MeV the system becomes sufficiently dense and ChPT is no longer applicable to describe lattice data. For chemical potentials $μ> 900$ MeV we observe formation of the Fermi sphere, and the system is similar to the one described by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory where the the diquarks play a role of Cooper pairs. In order to study how nonzero baryon density influences the gluon background we calculate chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields, as well as the topological susceptibility. We find that the chromoelectric field and the topological susceptibility decrease, whereas the chromomagnetic field increases with rising of baryon chemical potential. Finally we study the equation of state of dense two-color quark matter.

description: We investigate theoretically and experimentally stochastic resonance in a quantum dot coupled to electron source and drain via time-dependent tunnel barriers. A central finding is a transition visible in the current noise spectrum as a bifurcation of a dip originally at zero frequency. The transition occurs close to the stochastic resonance working point and relates to quantized pumping. For the evaluation of power spectra from measured waiting times, we generalize a result from renewal theory to the ac driven case. Moreover, we develop a master equation method to obtain phase-averaged current noise spectra for driven quantum transport.

Statistics and seasonal behaviour of $τ_0$ are given at two heights above the ground, 3m and 8m, for the wavelength $λ=500$nm. We found an annual median value of $2.9$ms at the height of 8m. A few measurements could also be obtained at the height of 20m and give a median value of 6ms during the period June--September. For the first time, we provide measurements of $τ_0$ in daytime during the summer, which appears to show the same time dependence as the seeing with a sharp maximum at 5pm local time. Exceptional values of $τ_0$ above 10ms are met at this particular moment. The continuous slow variations of turbulence conditions during the day offers a natural test bed for a solar adaptive optics system.

description: The study aims on “violence against women” during marital life from a sociological point of view. Assumptions are based on the perspective of three theoretical views including Sources Theory, Learning Theory and Conflict theory. The study population includes academic and non-academic staff of Azad University of Tehran in 1387-1388.The sample size consists of 533 married women, who were selected through the year multistage cluster sampling? The results show that variables such as woman decision making in important situations of life, women experience of observation violence in family of origine, men experience of violence in family of origine, women family support, women social-economic status, and social-economic status differences between men and women have significant relationship with violence. However, there was no significant relationship between men family support and social-economic status and violence. Final results show that in these three groups the most violence rate against women is among non-academic and the least is among staff. Also higher social-economic status of women compared with their husbands is related to higher rates violence against wives.

description: Rural land comprises 77 percent of Louisiana's total land acreage, with a wide diversity of physical characteristics and use. Therefore, reliable rural real estate market information is expected to be of value to landowners, investors, borrowers, lenders, realtors, appraisers, public taxing authorities, and policy makers. This report presents the results from the second annual Louisiana Rural Land Market Survey. Results of this study suggest that land values vary by area of the state and the primary commodity grown on the tract. Substantial variation in land value within areas and by parish suggests a number of factors affect rural land values and markets.

description: Farmers are annually faced with critical management decisions that impact the employment of production inputs for various crop enterprises and the combination of crops that will be assembled into a cropping system. The need for reliable information is crucial if sound production decisions are to be made. Planning information plays a pivotal role in the development of 2001 production plans by farmers and is important in supporting their efforts to secure the necessary resources to carry out their plans. In addition, information regarding production alternatives and costs and returns for major crop enterprises is needed by extension personnel, researchers, lending institutions, and others involved in agriculture or agribusiness. This information has become all the more critical with the enactment of Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform (FAIR) Act in 1996 and the current situation of depressed prices for nearly all agricultural commodities. The purpose of this report is to provide for tenant and owner operator situations 2001 projected cost and return estimates for the following enterprises: rice in Southwest, Central, and Northeast Louisiana and soybean, corn, milo, wheat, and wheat-soybean double crop in Southwest Louisiana.

Although the single site occupation is random, chemical interaction preferences bias the occupation probabilities of neighboring sites, and this bias reduced the entropy of mixing below its ideal value. Sufficiently strong bias leads to symmetry-breaking phase transitions. We apply the cluster variation method to explore solid solutions on body centered cubic lattices in the context of two specific compounds that exhibit opposite ordering trends. Employing density functional theory to model the energetics, we show that CuZn exhibits an order-disorder transition to the CsCl prototype structure, while AlLi instead takes the NaTl prototype structure, and we evaluate their temperature-dependent order parameters, correlations and entropies.

description: The goal of this study was to produce a detailed aquaculture production model incorporating constraints unique to closed system culture and to conduct a formal economic analysis of closed system operation. Results generated by this model indicate that less than perfect management ability can eliminate the normal advantages associated with using high protein feed. While higher protein levels produce faster growth, and for this reason are often used in the industry, the increased direct feed costs and indirect costs due to metabolic feedbacks produce lower daily returns if high protein feed use continues through harvest. This model showed that inefficiency in solids removal negatively affects returns, but the majority of negative impacts were linked to declines in biological filter efficiency. As biological filter efficiency falls, time to harvest increases at an increasing rate and returns decrease at an increasing rate. Results also indicate that as stocking density increased, direct increases in returns were assured only if no metabolic feedbacks occurred. If the filter technology is operated inefficiently, higher stocking density may actually lead to economic failure. Thus, a tradeoff exists between stocking density and management ability, with the tradeoff being substantially affected by levels of dietary protein. In essence, economically viable tradeoffs between dietary protein and stocking density occur over relatively narrow ranges of management ability. Without highly experienced and capable management, the biological realities of recirculating systems may preclude profitable system operation. These simulated observations may in part explain why recirculating systems have yet to demonstrate widespread success on a commercial scale.

description: We present the latest results on event-by-event fluctuations of charged particle multiplicity in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV and 62.4 GeV measured by PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The two particle correlation length to discuss order parameters, which can be extracted from scale dependence of the fluctuations, is supposed to be sensitive to the critical points of QCD phase transition. The obtained correlation length with respect to the pseudo rapidity gap indicates the power law behavior as a function of the number of participant nucleons for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV.

Electron Surfing Acceleration in Magnetic Reconnection
Creators: name: Hoshino, Masahiro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss that energetic electrons are generated near the X-type magnetic reconnection region due to a surfing acceleration mechanism. In a thin plasma sheet, the polarization electric fields pointing towards the neutral sheet are induced around the boundary between the lobe and plasma sheet in association with the Hall electric current. By using a particle-in-cell simulation, we demonstrate that the polarization electric fields are strongly enhanced in an externally driven reconnection system, and some electrons can be trapped by the electrostatic potential well of the polarization field. During the trapping phase, the electrons can gain their energies from the convection/inductive reconnection electric fields. We discuss that relativistic electrons with MeV energies are quickly generated in and around the X-type neutral region by utilizing the surfing acceleration.

description: Structural changes in the farm production sector, continued pressure to reform existing agricultural policies, and an increasing demand for nonagricultural real estate emphasize the need for rural land market research. Rural land, with a wide diversity of physical characteristics and use, continues to be a large portion of Louisiana's total land base. Of Louisiana's total 28,493,440 land acres, cropland and pastureland account for 7,811,413 acres or 27 percent (1992 Louisiana Census of Agriculture). If timberland is included (USDA, Forest Service, 1991), rural land accounts for 79 percent of Louisiana's total land acreage. The measurement of economic, locational, and topographic variables hypothesized to influence rural land values is expected to be useful in managing Louisiana's land resource. This report presents estimates of the effects of various rural real estate characteristics on the value of rural real estate. This analysis does not include macroeconomic variables and aesthetic or psychological factors that may influence rural real estate prices. Therefore, information provided herein should be used in a general context and should not be used as the sole source of valuation for any specific parcel of rural real estate. Current local market conditions may not be accurately reflected in the results because of the limited data and the complexity of factors influencing values in a local land market.

Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies

description: This report summarizes a year-long study of the current and future role of technology in the Mid-South, Southeast, and High Plains cotton production systems. Specific research objectives were to: 1) Identify the impacts of emerging technology on regional cotton production systems, including the implications of technology adoption on the economic and environmental stability of the system; 2) Examine the future direction of technical change in cotton production and its implications for the biological and economic structure of the cotton production system; and 3) Determine the potential role of future technologies on shifting regional competitiveness in cotton production. Information used in the analysis was collected through a series of consultations with leading cotton research and extension personnel at regional research facilities and land grant universities. Given the verbal, descriptive nature of the information collected, the analysis represents the expert opinions of individuals working with and in the cotton production industry. In short, this report documents the combined vision of cotton production scientists and extension personnel with respect to the future of U.S. and regional cotton production. Necessary background information was obtained from published academic, industry, and government sources.
Understanding Contagion Dynamics through Microscopic Processes in Active Brownian Particles

description: Together with the universally recognized SIR model, several approaches have been employed to understand the contagious dynamics of interacting particles. Here, Active Brownian particles (ABP) are introduced to model the contagion dynamics of living agents that spread an infectious disease in space and time. Simulations were performed for several population densities and contagious rates. Our results show that ABP not only reproduces the time dependence observed in traditional SIR models, but also allows us to explore the critical densities, contagious radius, and random recovery times that facilitate the virus spread. Furthermore, we derive a first-principles analytical expression for the contagion rate in terms of microscopic parameters, without the assumption of free parameters as the classical SIR-based models. This approach offers a novel alternative to incorporate microscopic processes into the analysis of SIR-based models with applications in a wide range of biological systems

Some Remarks on the Semi-Classical Limit of Quantum Gravity

description: One of the most important issues in quantum gravity is to identify its semi-classical regime. First the issue is to define for we mean by a semi-classical theory of quantum gravity, then we would like to use it to extract physical predictions. Writing an effective theory on a flat background is a way to address this problem and I explain how the non-commutative spacetime of deformed special relativity is the natural arena for such considerations. On the other hand, I discuss how the definition of the semi-classical regime can be formulated in a background independent fashion in terms of quantum information and renormalisation of geometry.

description: We report on the oxidation of self-assembled silicene nanoribbons grown on the Ag(110) surface using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and High-Resolution Photoemission Spectroscopy. The results show that silicene nanoribbons present a strong resistance towards oxidation using molecular oxygen. This can be overcome by increasing the electric field in the STM tunnel junction above a threshold of +2.6 V to induce oxygen dissociation and reaction. The higher reactivity of the silicene nanoribbons towards atomic oxygen is observed as expected. The HR-PES confirm these observations: Even at high exposures of molecular oxygen, the Si 2p core-level peaks corresponding to pristine silicene remain dominant, reflecting a very low reactivity to molecular oxygen. Complete oxidation is obtained following exposure to high doses of atomic oxygen; the Si 2p core level peak corresponding to pristine silicene disappears.
