description: Morphomolecular genetic studies were undertaken to identify ten divergent genotypes of groundnut at molecular level using PM-36, PM50 and PM238 SSR primers. All the microsatellite loci amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) were found to be polymorphic in all groundnut genotypes except ICGV-99233. Differences were observed in the proportion of polymorphic loci, observed and expected heterozygosity values, average number of alleles in the cultivars. Only three genotypes showed significant deviations from Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). The UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei's (1972) genetic distance, resulted in two major clusters with several sub clusters. Specific alleles of five varieties were identified (able to distinguish specific varieties), and these were PM-36/153 (Accession 12), PM-36/164 (BARI Badam 6), PM50/106 (Accession 12), PM50/102 (ICGV-93232), and PM238/100 (Accession 12). The three primers produced a total of 17 alleles with size ranging from 100bp to 164bp. The PIC (Polymorphism Information Content) value for the primer PM-36, PM50 and PM238 were found 0.75, 0.77 and 0.75, respectively. This approach will be useful for developing a set of number of SSR loci and for the protection of the varieties through Genetic Finger Printing (GFP).

description: Magnetic order has been investigated in stripe-ordered La(2-x)Sr(x)NiO(4) (x = 0.275, 0.37, 0.4) by d.c. magnetization and by polarized- and unpolarized-neutron diffraction. In the magnetically ordered phase, all three compositions exhibit a magnetic transition consistent with a spin reorientation in the ab plane. For x = 0.37, the spin axes rotate from an angle of 37.7 +/- 0.3 degrees to the stripe direction at 71 K, to 52.3 +/- 0.2 degrees at 2 K. The x = 0.275 and 0.4 compounds were found to undergo a similar spin reorientation. A spin reorientation has now been observed to occur for five different doping levels in the range x = 0.275 - 0.5, suggesting that this spin transition is an intrinsic property of the stripe phase.

description: A set of groundnut microsatellite markers were utilized in 23 elite groundnut genotypes to assess the genetic diversity. A total of 13 alleles were detected at 3 loci using the PM3, PM50 and PM238 microsatellite primer pairs. The number of alleles ranged from 4 to 5 with an average of 4.33 alleles per locus. The allele sizes for all loci in 23 genotypes ranged from 137 to 217 bp and the frequency of SSR allele ranged from 0.022 to 0.500. The genetic distance for all possible 253 pairs of groundnut genotype combination ranged from 0.000 to 2.093 with an average of 0.92. The values of polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.617 to 0.701 and according to the result the primer PM3 was found to be the most polymorphic. The UPGMA dendrogram was constructed based on Nei's (1972) genetic distance delineated the above groundnut genotypes into two major clusters (I and II). Cluster I had two sub-clusters la and lb and cluster II consisted of two genotypes namely, ICGV 94165 and ICGV 00340 were unique and diversed from all other genotypes belonging to cluster I. Regarding 3 primer pairs, 4 specific alleles (PM3/195, PM50/146, PM50/137 and PM238/171) were able to distinguish a maximum of 6 genotypes and finally 2 (ICGV 94165 and ICGV 00340) from the above 23 groundnut genotypes. This approach will be useful for exploiting SSR markers for detecting polymorphism leading to genotype identification and conservation of commercially developed groundnut varieties through DNA fingerprinting and for estimating genetic diversity.

description: We conceptualize the futures price of an agricultural commodity as an aggregate expectation for the spot price of a commodity. The market agents have divergent opinions about the price development and the price drivers, which initiates trading. In informationally efficient markets, the price will thus reflect expectations about its influencing variables. Using historical decompositions from an SVARX model, we analyze the contribution of financial and commodity- specific expectation shocks to changes in a trading-volume weighted price index for corn and soybean futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) over the time period 2005- 2016. Financial expectations are instrumented with the DJ REIT Index, commodity demand expectations with the CNY/USD exchange rate and supply expectations with changes in the vapor pressure deficit. Results show that the price index was affected by cumulative shocks in the REIT index during the time of the food price crisis, but these shocks are only of small magnitude. Weather fluctuations have a minimal impact on the week-to-week fluctuation of the commodity price index. Acknowledgement :

description: Recently, the moments of multiplicity distributions in e+e- annihilation and the ratios H_q (cumulant over factorial moments K_q/F_q) have been determined both for the hadronic final state and for jets at variable resolution. These ratios show an oscillatory behaviour as function of q with strong dependence of the amplitude and length of oscillation on the jet resolution parameter y_{cut}. The recent explanation of this phenomenon based on perturbative QCD calculations is discussed.

Detection of Low-Hard State Spectral and Timing Signatures from the Black Hole X-Ray Transient XTE J1650-500 at Low X-Ray Luminosities

description: Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, we have studied the black hole candidate (BHC) X-ray transient XTE J1650-500 near the end of its 2001-2002 outburst after its transition to the low-hard state at X-ray luminosities down to L = 1.5E34 erg/s (1-9 keV, assuming a source distance of 4 kpc). Our results include a characterization of the spectral and timing properties. At the lowest sampled luminosity, we used an 18 ks Chandra observation to measure the power spectrum at low frequencies. For the 3 epochs at which we obtained Chandra/RXTE observations, the 0.5-20 keV energy spectrum is consistent with a spectral model consisting of a power-law with interstellar absorption. We detect evolution in the power-law photon index from 1.66 +/- 0.05 to 1.93 +/- 0.13 (90% confidence errors), indicating that the source softens at low luminosities. The power spectra are characterized by strong (20-35% fractional rms) band-limited noise, which we model as a zero-centered Lorentzian. Including results from an RXTE study of XTE J1650-500 near the transition to the low-hard state by Kalemci et al. (2003), the half-width of the zero-centered Lorentzian (roughly where the band-limited noise cuts off) drops from 4 Hz at L = 7E36 erg/s (1-9 keV, absorbed) to 0.067 +/- 0.007 Hz at L = 9E34 erg/s to 0.0035 +/- 0.0010 Hz at the lowest luminosity. While the spectral and timing parameters evolve with luminosity, it is notable that the general shapes of the energy and power spectra remain the same, indicating that the source stays in the low-hard state. This implies that the X-ray emitting region of the system likely keeps the same overall structure, while the luminosity changes by a factor of 470. We discuss how these results may constrain theoretical black hole accretion models.

description: Comprehensive muon spin rotation/relaxation (muSR) and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) studies supported via bulk measurements have been performed on the ordered double perovskite Sr2YbRuO6 to investigate the nature of the magnetic ground state. Two sharp transitions at TN1 ~ 42 K and TN2 ~ 36 K have been observed in the static and dynamic magnetization measurements, coinciding with the heat capacity data. In order to confirm the origin of the observed phase transitions and the magnetic ground state, microscopic evidences are presented here. An initial indication of long-range magnetic ordering comes from a sharp drop in the muon initial asymmetry and a peak in the relaxation rate near TN1. NPD confirms that the magnetic ground state of Sr2YbRuO6 consists of an antiferromagnetic (AFM) structure with interpenetrating lattices of parallel Yb3+ and Ru5+ moments lying in the ab-plane and adopting a A-type AFM structure. Intriguingly, a small but remarkable change is observed in the long-range ordering parameters at TN2 confirming the presence of a weak spin reorientation (i.e. change in spin configuration) transition of Ru and Yb moments, as well as a change in the magnetic moment evolution of the Yb3+ spins at TN2. The temperature dependent behaviour of the Yb3+ and Ru5+ moments suggests that the 4d-electrons of Ru5+ play a dominating role in stabilizing the long range ordered magnetic ground state in the double perovskite Sr2YbRuO6 whereas only the Yb3+ moments show an arrest at TN2. The observed magnetic structure and the presence of a ferromagnetic interaction between Ru- and Yb- ions are explained with use of the Goodenough-Kanamori-Anderson (GKA) rules. Possible reasons for the presence of the second magnetic phase transition and of a compensation point in the magnetization data are linked to competing mechanisms of magnetic anisotropy.

description: The study sought to identify the factors influencing adoption intensity of certified maize varieties. The data used were obtained from a sample household survey of 420 maize farmers, using structured questionnaire. A triple hurdle model was adopted to estimate the determinants of adoption; considering awareness, adoption and intensity as three separate stages of the adoption decision. The result showed that the drivers of farmers awareness, adoption and intensity of usage may not necessarily be the same, and where they are, not of the same magnitude and direction. However, age, education, membership of association and frequency of extension advice were found to be statistically significant. In addition, awareness and adoption were likely to be increased with household heads being males. It was also discovered that though some of the farmers were fully aware of the existence of some certified maize varieties, majority lacked detailed knowledge and technical know-how. There is need for creation of awareness through an excellent trained extension and restructuring of the educational sector to improve on the adoption process as well as improve maize productivity in the country.

description: A growing body of literature focuses on the importance of peer effects for farmers adoption decisions. However, little is known on how interventions affect networks. We are analyzing network changes and the influence of peer effects on the adoption of technologies. Our analysis builds on a unique dataset that combines a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with detailed panel data on communication networks. The RCT was implemented in rural Kenya and consisted of varying combinations of agricultural and nutrition training sessions. The broader purpose of the extension training was the promotion of the black bean variety KK15. Survey data from 48 farmer groups (824 households) was collected before (2015) and after (2016) the intervention. Results suggest that the intervention had a positive impact on the creation of communication links. We find positive effects of adopting peers on individual adoption decisions. Further, peer effects become increasingly important for the adoption decision of farmers attending a higher share of training sessions. Hence, training farmer groups can be very efficient in diffusing new technologies since peer effects can stimulate and drive the adoption process.

description: Long-baseline interferometry at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an emerging technology which is quickly becoming a useful tool to investigate stellar atmospheres and to compare observations with models. Stellar atmosphere models have so far mainly been constrained by comparisons with stellar spectra which are integrated over the stellar disks. Interferometric observations provide spatially and spectrally resolved information and can thus provide important complementary observational information which can be compared to model predictions. Here, I summarize the different aspects on this topic which were discussed at a round table on Thursday, June 20, 2002, during IAU Symposium 210. This summary gives an overview on discussed interferometric facilities and techniques, concepts to study atmospheres by optical interferometry, and particular classes of objects. We conclude that more frequent interactions between the efforts of atmosphere modelling and interferometric observations promise to lead to increased confidence in stellar model atmospheres and to further advancement of the field in the next years.

description: The separation of agricultural mechanization services from the production processes of agriculture represents the division of labor in agriculture and is a kind of innovation in the organization of agricultural production. This study explores the adoption of agricultural mechanization services among maize farmers in China and particularly examines the impacts of population aging and off-farm employment. Based on a cross-sectional data of some 600 maize farmers in 7 provinces of China , the results show that the mechanization rate of maize farming in China is about 61%, wherein over Over 46% adopt agricultural mechanization services, but while less than 15% use own agricultural machines. The proportion of family members aged?60 years old in the household negatively affects the off-farm employment of family members and the adoption of agricultural mechanization services. Also, the percent of family members engaging in off-farm work has a positive effect on maize farmers' agricultural mechanization services adoption. The findings reveal that the increasing population aging and the rising wages in China would foster the demand for agricultural mechanization services in future. This study not only complements the empirical evidence on agricultural mechanization services but also provides a better understanding of the transformation of agriculture in China.

description: Estimating and explaining yield gap is essential to guide for sustainable intensification of agricultural systems in order to keep pace with increasing food demand in India driven by population and income growth. Eastern Indian states contribute 40 percent of total area under paddy in India but yield level is not at par with other high productive regions of the country. Hence this region is considered as potential region for second green revolution in India. In this study empirical method was used to decompose yield gap into efficiency and resource yield gaps for paddy and wheat. Further, stochastic frontier analysis was employed to estimate inefficiency in production pattern by encompassing critical agronomic and socio-economic factors. Results showed that estimated yield gap is 10 to 30 percent for paddy and 2 to 15 percent in case of wheat. It was identified that, not only sub-optimal resource usages (e.g. fertilization, mechanization) but supra-optimal resource disposal also found detrimental for yield level very often (e.g. seed rate). Besides, frequent drought, flood and state specificity explains yield gap. Hence, it was suggested that proper resource utilization framework and institutional mechanism can be possible remedy to reduce yield gap instead of providing for material input support.

description: We study the role of QCD plasma instabilities in non-equilibrium quark-gluon plasmas. First, we argue that such instabilities must drastically modify the "bottom-up" thermalization scenario for heavy-ion collisions. Second, we discuss conditions for the existence of instabilities in a more general context than previously treated in the QCD literature. We also give a thorough qualitative review of the origin of instabilities. We discuss some mechanisms whereby the growth of plasma instabilities saturates. Finally, we solve explicitly for instabilities and their growth rates for two extreme cases of anisotropic non-equilibrium plasmas that can be treated relatively simply and analytically: $f(\p) = F(p_\perp) δ(p_z)$ and $f(\p) = F(p_z) δ^{(2)}(p_\perp)$, where $f(\p)$ is the distribution of particles in momentum space.

description: The ability to handle single molecules as effectively as macroscopic building-blocks would enable the construction of complex supramolecular structures inaccessible to self-assembly. The fundamental challenges obstructing this goal are the uncontrolled variability and poor observability of atomic-scale conformations. Here, we present a strategy to work around both obstacles, and demonstrate autonomous robotic nanofabrication by manipulating single molecules. Our approach employs reinforcement learning (RL), which finds solution strategies even in the face of large uncertainty and sparse feedback. We demonstrate the potential of our RL approach by removing molecules autonomously with a scanning probe microscope from a supramolecular structure -- an exemplary task of subtractive manufacturing at the nanoscale. Our RL agent reaches an excellent performance, enabling us to automate a task which previously had to be performed by a human. We anticipate that our work opens the way towards autonomous agents for the robotic construction of functional supramolecular structures with speed, precision and perseverance beyond our current capabilities.

description: As information about availability and suitability of innovation is one of the key factors in the diffusion and adoption of agricultural technology, its transmission is of crucial importance. Farming neighbors are often mentioned as the most significant origin of knowledge. However, various sources, like extension services, technology providing companies or other stakeholders are also possible in case of adoption of automatic milking systems in Germany. One instrument in describing the flow of information are social networks by defining links between different agents through which it can spread from one to another. Thus, different network structures, like a neighborhood network, a sales structure network, a dairy factory network and two extension service networks, are created to analyze their impact and performance in the process of diffusion and adoption of technology by displaying information transmission patterns originated from different sources to the farmers. For measurement, the endemic-epidemic hhh4 model for surveillance data is applied to capture the dynamic contagious process of diffusion. Regarding the performance, the neighborhood network provides the best fit for explaining the adoption of technology. Furthermore, the sales structure of the manufacturer also plays an important role in the distribution. In contrast, German consultation centers are less relevant. Acknowledgement :

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A brief survey is given on the current status of evaluating thermal production of photons from a strongly interacting medium. Emphasis is put on recent progress in assessing equilibrium emission rates in both hadronic and quark-gluon matter. We also give an update on the status of comparing theoretical calculations with experimental data from heavy-ion collisions at the SPS, as well as prospects for RHIC. Finally, applications of photon rate calculations to colorsuperconducting quark matter are discussed.

Discovery of the eclipse in the symbiotic binary Z Andromedae
Creators: name: Skopal, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Our photometric observations of the symbiotic binary Z And during its recent (2000 -- 2003) active phase revealed a minimum in the U, B and V light curves (LC) at the position of the inferior conjunction of its cool component (the orbital phase 'phi' = 0). This fact and the behaviour of colour indices suggest that the minimum was due to the eclipse of the active hot object by the red giant. Physically plausible fit of the eclipse profile and a precise analysis of the spectral energy distribution (SED) in the ultraviolet continuum suggest a disk-like structure for the hot object during active phases. The present knowledge of fundamental parameters of the system limits the orbital inclination 'i' to 76 - 90 deg. The presence of the Rayleigh attenuated far-UV continuum at 'phi' around 0 during quiescent phase confirms the very high inclination of the Z And orbit.

description: This paper analyzes the gender differential impact of NERICA adoption on rice yield and farmers annual household income using data from 342 rice farmers in Benin. NERICA varieties have been developed by AfricaRice which won its creator Monty Jones the 2004 World Food Prize. The paper applies the potential outcomes framework to estimate the Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE). The results show that NERICA adoption has positive and significant impact on farmers yield and household per capita income. The impacts of NERICA adoption are not homogeneous across farmers categories and are higher for female farmers than male farmers. The findings suggest the widely dissemination of NERICA varieties, mainly upland NERICA, with a focus on women, in order to increase rice productivity and consequently total production and income.

Quantifying the Drivers of Star Formation on Galactic Scales. I. The Small Magellanic Cloud
Creators: name: Zaritsky, Dennis
name: Harris, Jason
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use the star formation history of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to place quantitative limits on the effect of tidal interactions and gas infall on the star formation and chemical enrichment history of the SMC. The coincident timing of two recent (< 4 Gyr) increases in the star formation rate and SMC/Milky Way(MW) pericenter passages suggests that global star formation in the SMC is driven at least in part by tidal forces due to the MW. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the other potential driver of star formation, but is only near the SMC during the most recent burst. The poorly constrained LMC-SMC orbit is our principal uncertainty. To explore the correspondence between bursts and MW pericenter passages further, we model star formation in the SMC using a combination of continuous and tidally-triggered star formation. The behavior of the tidally-triggered mode is a strong inverse function of the SMC-MW separation (preferred behavior ~ r^-5, resulting in a factor of ~100 difference in the rate of tidally-triggered star formation at pericenter and apocenter). Despite the success of these closed-box evolutionary models in reproducing the recent SMC star formation history and current chemical abundance, they have some systematic shortcomings that are remedied by postulating that a sizable infall event (~ 50% of the total gas mass) occured about 4 Gyr ago. Regardless of whether this infall event is included, the fraction of stars in the SMC that formed via a tidally triggered mode is > 10% and could be as large as 70%.

Strongly Correlated Electron Materials: Dynamical Mean-Field Theory and Electronic Structure

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: These are introductory lectures to some aspects of the physics of strongly correlated electron systems. I first explain the main reasons for strong correlations in several classes of materials. The basic principles of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) are then briefly reviewed. I emphasize the formal analogies with classical mean-field theory and density functional theory, through the construction of free-energy functionals of a local observable. I review the application of DMFT to the Mott transition, and compare to recent spectroscopy and transport experiments. The key role of the quasiparticle coherence scale, and of transfers of spectral weight between low- and intermediate or high energies is emphasized. Above this scale, correlated metals enter an incoherent regime with unusual transport properties. The recent combinations of DMFT with electronic structure methods are also discussed, and illustrated by some applications to transition metal oxides and f-electron materials.

description: The following paper provides insights in the adoption-behavior of farmers in Saxony due to the Fauna-Flora-Habitat directive (habitat-directive) of the European Union (EU). For the implementation of the habitat directive, the federal state of Saxony has introduced the instrument of managementplans in combination with agri-environmental programs. The paper shows that the combination of managementplans and agri-environmental programs can be successful for the implementation of nature-conservation measures under specific circumstances. The paper investigates the determinants of the farmers decision to optimize their farming practices towards the objective of nature conservation. The data set consists of interviews with 139 farmers between 2004 and 2011 and additionally information of 333 grassland-sites. A multinomial logit model was applied. The results show that location factors and the design of AEPs exhibit an influence on the implementation of measures of the Habitat Directive. At the plot level, we can (among other factors) observe an impact of specific (dark green) agri-environmental programs on the willingness of farmers to adopt nature conservation measures within the framework of the EU habitat directive. We also investigate the determinants of participation in light green and dark green AEPs. The findings highlight the potential of integrated policy packages to incentivize specific measures of nature conservation within the Natura 2000 framework. Acknowledgement :
The Birmingham-CfA cluster scaling project - III: entropy and similarity in galaxy systems

description: We examine profiles and scaling properties of the entropy of the intergalactic gas in a sample of 66 virialized systems, ranging in mass from single elliptical galaxies to rich clusters, for which we have resolved X-ray temperature profiles. Some of the properties we derive appear to be inconsistent with any of the models put forward to explain the breaking of self-similarity in the baryon content of clusters. In particular, the entropy profiles, scaled to the virial radius, are broadly similar in form across the sample, apart from a normalization factor which differs from the simple self-similar scaling with temperature. Low mass systems do not show the large isentropic cores predicted by preheating models, and the high entropy excesses reported at large radii in groups by Finoguenov et al (2002) are confirmed, and found to extend even to moderately rich clusters. We discuss the implications of these results for the evolutionary history of the hot gas in clusters, and suggest that preheating may affect the entropy of intracluster gas primarily by reducing the density of material accreting into groups and clusters along cosmic filaments.

description: Actions of $U(n)$ on $U(n+1)$ coadjoint orbits via embeddings of $U(n)$ into $U(n+1)$ are an important family of examples of multiplicity free spaces. They are related to Gelfand-Zeitlin completely integrable systems and multiplicity free branching rules in representation theory. This paper computes the Hamiltonian local normal forms of all such actions, at arbitrary points, in arbitrary $U(n+1)$ coadjoint orbits. The results are described using combinatorics of interlacing patterns; gadgets that describe the associated Kirwan polytopes.

description: Andrews and Sellers recently initiated the study of arithmetic properties of Fishburn numbers. In this paper, we prove prime power congruences for generalized Fishburn numbers. These numbers are the coefficients in the $1-q$ expansion of the Kontsevich-Zagier series $\mathscr{F}_{t}(q)$ for the torus knots $T(3,2^t)$, $t \geq 2$. The proof uses a strong divisibility result of Ahlgren, Kim and Lovejoy and a new "strange identity" for $\mathscr{F}_{t}(q)$.
