description: The Dairy sector in Uganda has responded positively to agricultural sector liberalisation policies that took effect in the 1990s. Total national milk production has grown from 460 million litres in 1990 to 1.6 billion litres in 2011, with per capita milk consumption growing from 16 litres in 1986to 58 litres by 2010. A variety of dairy products that were previously imported are now being produced locally in the country. Driven largely by dairy, the livestock sector has maintained positive growth rates averaging 3 percent per annum compared to the declining (and often negative) growth rates registered in the food and cash crop sub sectors. Milk production increased primarily from growth in cattle population, and secondarily from adoption of higher milk yielding cattle. While milk production remains concentrated in the Western milk shed, there is evidence of dairy activities spreading to other non-traditional milk producing regions of the country especially in the Central and Eastern regions of Uganda. Development of the value chain in the dairy sector has led to employment creation and income generation not only for about 700,000 dairy farming households, but also for farm input dealers, dairy equipment dealers, dairy ingredients dealers, raw milk traders, milk transporters, mini-dairies, large scale milk processors, and distributors...

description: Plant Phenology refers to periodic events in the life cycle of plants as influenced by the environment, especially climatic factors. Compared to field-based plant phenological observations, remote sensing provides an alternative means for monitoring Land Surface Phenology (LSP) over large areas. Upto- date and accurate LSP information detected by remote sensors provides important inputs for assessing trends in vegetation development and ecosystem dynamics in response to global environmental changes. However, direct comparison of LSP with in situ observations is usually impractical due to the lack of pure pixel-size, species-level observation data. In this research, the methods and problems for extracting and assessing LSP metrics are reviewed and discussed. In a case study in the U.S. Great Plains, surface phenological metrics of grasslands were extracted based on the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series derived from the 500 m Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometers (MODIS) eight-day composites. The remotely sensed Start-of-Season (SOS) and End-of-Season (EOS) were compared to the growing season indices that were calculated using the criterion provided by the United State Department of Agriculture (USDA), which defines the SOS and EOS as the last and first freezes (0°C) of the year. In addition, annual Growing Degree Days (GDD), a measure of heat accumulation to predict plant development rates, was calculated. The remote sensing-based SOS was further assessed by correlating with the accumulated GDD. Results showed various LSP metrics can be extracted from the NDVI time series effectively. The remote sensing-based LSP metrics and USDAdefined indices were unmatched. In our study site, the highest association between the remote sensingbased SOS and accumulative GDD was identified in warm-season short grass, followed by cold-season short grass, warm-season tall grass, and cold-season tall grass, in a descending order. When the discrete field phenological data were compared to the MODIS-based SOS of the grasslands, these data served as a good proxy.

description: Due to their light consistency and good spreadability, aqueous foams are considered as convenient and highly accepted drug carrier systems that are of great importance in the field of topical drug delivery. The production of a stable, easy to dose, preferably environmentally harmless foam formulation is challenging. Therefore, foam characterisation requires a complex approach: several tests are to be performed throughout the formulation. Our study primarily aims to investigate the quality attributes of propellant-free foam-forming additives. Throughout the research, we focused on acquiring knowledge about the properties of pharmaceutical excipients suitable for foam formulations and their effect on foam characteristics. Not only were the relative foam density, actuated foam weight and the foam collapse tendencies studied, but also the initial liquid properties. Along with surface tension determination, bubble-forming experiments were carried out. The bubble size and rate of formation, standardised by using a texture analyser, were followed by image analysis. Analysing the bubble-forming properties of dilute surfactant solutions allows assumptions on the properties of foam formed from the more concentrated solutions. The size and number of bubbles in the produced foams are related to the kinetics of single bubble formation. For comparison, commercially available medicated foams were studied.

description: The main message of this study is that public action by making the choice to invest in infrastructure, has to be taken to alleviate the plight of Uganda’s economy which is endowed with adverse, natural or geographical aspects like tropical climate. Drawing from the existing literature of the various channels or means through which infrastructure affects growth, this study argues for strengthening structures and implementation in the promotion of infrastructure particularly rural roads. In order to identify the sector constraints, the study utilized public expenditure tracking and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) in the two selected districts of Pallisa and Soroti. The findings indicate that not all resources reach the beneficiary levels; capacity challenges exist both among the staff and service providers. This situation is worsened by inadequate funding for rural roads provision. First, apart from increasing public investment, the most important role to be played by the government in this changing scenario will include: strengthening capacity among the local government staff; carrying out performance audit on various firms that execute the works; and maintain road machinery in sound working conditions for provision of better and efficient roads network.

description: The KOTO experiment recently presented a significant excess of events in their search for the rare SM process $K_L \to π^0ν\barν$, well above both Standard Model signal and background predictions. We show that this excess may be due to weakly-coupled scalars that are produced from Kaon decays and escape KOTO undetected. We study two concrete realizations, the minimal Higgs portal and a hadrophilic scalar model, and demonstrate that they can explain the observed events while satisfying bounds from other flavor and beam-dump experiments. Hadronic beam-dump experiments provide particularly interesting constraints on these types of models, and we discuss in detail the normally underestimated uncertainties associated with them. The simplicity of the models which can explain the excess, and their possible relations with interesting UV constructions, provides strong theoretical motivation for a new physics interpretation of the KOTO data.

The necessary and sufficient conditions for the braided m-Lie algebras to be strict Jacobi braided Lie algebras are given. Two classes of braided m-Lie algebras are given, which are generalized matrix braided m-Lie algebras and braided m-Lie subalgebras of $End_F M$, where $M$ is a Yetter-Drinfeld module over $B$ with dim $B< \infty $ . In particular, generalized classical braided m-Lie algebras $sl_{q, f}(GM_G(A), F)$ and $osp_{q, t} (GM_G(A), M, F)$ of generalized matrix algebra $GM_G(A)$ are constructed and their connection with special generalized matrix Lie superalgebra $sl_{s, f}(GM_{{\bf Z}_2}(A^s), F)$ and orthosymplectic generalized matrix Lie super algebra $osp_{s, t} (GM_{{\bf Z}_2}(A^s), M^s, F)$ are established. The relationship between representations of braided m-Lie algebras and their associated algebras are established.

RX J0513.9-6951: The first example of accretion wind evolution, a key evolutionary process to Type Ia supernovae
Creators: name: Hachisu, Izumi

Year: 2003

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new self-sustained model for long-term light curve variations of RX J0513.9-6951 is proposed based on an optically thick wind model of mass-accreting white dwarfs (WDs). When the mass accretion rate to a WD exceeds the critical rate of \sim 1 x 10^{-6} M_\sun yr^{-1}, optically thick strong winds begin to blow from the WD so that a formation of common envelope is avoided. The WD can accrete and burn hydrogen-rich matter atop the WD at the critical rate. The excess matter transferred to the WD above the critical rate is expelled by winds. This is called the accretion wind evolution. This ejection process, however, occurs intermittently because the mass transfer is attenuated by strong winds: the strong winds collide with the secondary surface and strip off the very surface layer of the secondary. The matter stripped-off is lost from the binary system. Properly formulating this mass stripping effect and the ensuing decay of mass transfer rate, we are able to reproduce, in a self-sustained manner, the transition between the optical high/X-ray off and optical low/X-ray on states of RX J0513.9-6951. Thus RX J0513.9-6951 is the first example of the accretion wind evolution, which is a key evolutionary process in a recently developed evolutionary path to Type Ia supernovae.

description: The realization of a successful monetary union among EAC partner states depends upon a sufficient degree of convergence of partners economies to established criteria. Gathering but scattered research has begun assessing the various benchmarks for this characteristic. This work integrates and synthesizes the various findings of literature with the view of providing a general perspective on how far the partner states have reached in meeting the macroeconomic convergence criteria and whether they have met the precondition for ascending the union. The review is done with anticipation of uncovering the challenges countries are encountering in aligning the economies to set criteria and what possible policy strategies exist to overcome these problems. Findings reveal that there has been very limited convergence. Generally countries remain behind the staged indictors. Progress to the monetary union is challenged by the highly demanding criteria, lack of exchange rate mechanism, obstacles to the common market, multiple memberships and many more. While countries might have the option of revising the benchmarks, efforts to strengthen national economic growth, build regional capacities, harmonize policies related to the monetary union, and correct constraints in the common market will enhance deeper integration and contribute greatly to macro-economic convergence.

description: Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is a significant component of Galactic diffuse emission in the frequency range $10$-$60\,$GHz and a new window into the properties of sub-nanometre-sized grains in the interstellar medium. We investigate the morphology of AME in the $\approx10^{\circ}$ diameter $λ$ Orionis ring by combining intensity data from the QUIJOTE experiment at $11$, $13$, $17$ and $19\,$GHz and the C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) at $4.76\,$GHz, together with 19 ancillary datasets between $1.42$ and $3000\,$GHz. Maps of physical parameters at $1^{\circ}$ resolution are produced through Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) fits of spectral energy distributions (SEDs), approximating the AME component with a log-normal distribution. AME is detected in excess of $20\,σ$ at degree-scales around the entirety of the ring along photodissociation regions (PDRs), with three primary bright regions containing dark clouds. A radial decrease is observed in the AME peak frequency from $\approx35\,$GHz near the free-free region to $\approx21\,$GHz in the outer regions of the ring, which is the first detection of AME spectral variations across a single region. A strong correlation between AME peak frequency, emission measure and dust temperature is an indication for the dependence of the AME peak frequency on the local radiation field. The AME amplitude normalised by the optical depth is also strongly correlated with the radiation field, giving an overall picture consistent with spinning dust where the local radiation field plays a key role.

description: A new scenario for neutron-star cooling is proposed, based on the correspondence between pion condensation, occurring in neutron matter due to critical spin-isospin fluctuations, and the metal-insulator phase transition in a two-dimensional electron gas. Beyond the threshold density for pion condensation, where neutron-star matter loses its spatial homogeneity, the neutron single-particle spectrum acquires an insulating gap that quenches neutron contributions to neutrino-production reactions and to the star's specific heat. In the liquid phase at densities below the transition point, spin-isospin fluctuations are found to play dual roles. On the one hand, they lead to a multi-sheeted neutron Fermi surface that extends to low momenta, thereby activating the normally forbidden direct-Urca cooling mechanism; on the other, they amplify the nodeless $P$-wave neutron superfluid gap while suppressing $S$-wave pairing. In this picture, lighter stars without a pion-condensed core experience slow cooling, while enhanced cooling occurs in heavier stars through direct-Urca emission from a narrow shell of the interior.

description: he National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is one of the largest nutrition assistance programs in the United States, providing free and reduced-price lunches for income-eligible students as well as minimally subsidizing paid lunches for students that do not qualify to receive free or reduce-price lunches. Although the levels of nutrient deficiencies vary slightly across studies, the majority of the research concedes that NSLP participants consume more fats and sodium than non-participants, which may lead to higher rates of overweight and obesity. Furthermore, differences across income in dietary intake among NSLP participants may be an underlying cause of the previous mixed results. In this study, we investigate the relationship between income-eligibility status (Free, Reduced, or Paid) and entrée selection. Using a unique dataset tracking daily entrée choices and their nutritional value among elementary students at a suburban school district, this paper provides a novel approach to understanding the healthfulness of the NSLP. We find that while controlling for age, gender, and race, students that purchase free lunch choose entrees with less sodium than students purchasing either reduced-price or paid lunches. Relative to students purchasing free-lunches, students purchasing paid lunches also choose entrees with more protein and fat and entrees with fewer carbohydrates.

description: In this work we predict vehicle speed and steering angle given camera image frames. Our key contribution is using an external pre-trained neural network for segmentation. We augment the raw images with their segmentation masks and mirror images. We ensemble three diverse neural network models (i) a CNN using a single image and its segmentation mask, (ii) a stacked CNN taking as input a sequence of images and segmentation masks, and (iii) a bidirectional GRU, extracting image features using a pre-trained ResNet34, DenseNet121 and our own CNN single image model. We achieve the second best performance for MSE angle and second best performance overall, to win 2nd place in the ICCV Learning to Drive challenge. We make our models and code publicly available.

description: We analyze a class of models for unequal crossover (UC) of sequences containing sections with repeated units that may differ in length. In these, the probability of an `imperfect' alignment, in which the shorter sequence has d units without a partner in the longer one, scales like q^d as compared to `perfect' alignments where all these copies are paired. The class is parameterized by this penalty factor q. An effectively infinite population size and thus deterministic dynamics is assumed. For the extreme cases q=0 and q=1, and any initial distribution whose moments satisfy certain conditions, we prove the convergence to one of the known fixed points, uniquely determined by the mean copy number, in both discrete and continuous time. For the intermediate parameter values, the existence of fixed points is shown.

It has been used to estimate the marginal e↵ects of various determinants of trade as well as to test hypothesized relationships, many of which have direct and significant policy implications. Conventional estimation methods derive the marginal e↵ects of the covariates at the mean; or rather, only estimate the average e↵ect of an explanatory variable on trade flows. This study applies unconditional quantile estimation (UQE), as developed by Firpo, Fortin, and Lemieux (2009), to a variant of the gravity model developed by Hallak (2006) in order to obtain income and distance elasticity estimates for imports of six di↵erentiated agrifood products. Findings suggest that both income and distance elasticity estimates do vary across quantiles, suggesting that conventional estimation methods may limit the depth of analysis. The estimated income elasticities vary across products as well, both in terms of the underlying trends across quantiles and in magnitude, further demonstrating the capacity of UQE to identify how the underlying trend across quantiles is conditional on the product under examination.

On the origin of the galaxy luminosity function

description: Evidence is summarized that suggests that when a protogalaxy collapses, a fraction $f$ of its gas fails to heat to the virial temperature, where $f$ is large for haloes less massive than the value $M^*$ associated with $L^*$ galaxies. Stars and galaxies form only from the cool gas fraction. Hot gas is ejected from low-mass systems as in conventional semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. In high-mass systems it is retained but does not cool and form stars. Instead it builds up as a largely inert atmosphere, in which cooling is inhibited by an episodically active galactic nucleus. Cold gas frequently falls into galactic haloes. In the absence of a dense atmosphere of virial-temperature gas it builds up on nearly circular orbits and forms stars. When there is a sufficiently dense hot atmosphere, cold infalling gas tends to be ablated and absorbed by the hot atmosphere before it can form stars. The picture nicely explains away the surfeit of high-luminosity galaxies that has recently plagued semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, replacing them by systems of moderate luminosity from old stars and large X-ray luminosities from hot gas.

description: A main goal in the analysis of a complex system is to infer its underlying network structure from time-series observations of its behaviour. The inference process is often done by using bi-variate similarity measures, such as the cross-correlation (CC), however, the main factors favouring or hindering its success are still puzzling. Here, we use synthetic neuron models in order to reveal the main topological properties that frustrate or facilitate inferring the underlying network from CC measurements. Specifically, we use pulse-coupled Izhikevich neurons connected as in the Caenorhabditis elegans neural networks as well as in networks with similar randomness and small-worldness. We analyse the effectiveness and robustness of the inference process under different observations and collective dynamics, contrasting the results obtained from using membrane potentials and inter-spike interval time-series. We find that overall, small-worldness favours network inference and degree heterogeneity hinders it. In particular, success rates in C. elegans networks -- that combine small-world properties with degree heterogeneity -- are closer to success rates in Erdös-Rényi network models rather than those in Watts-Strogatz network models. These results are relevant to understand better the relationship between topological properties and function in different neural networks.

description: During the last decade a significant amount of research and development has been focused on imaging spectrometry and a number of lightweight, with low power consumption, frame or pushbroom sensors have been designed to operate onboard Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). For frame-type sensors the first essential step in the processing chain is to co-register all the acquired spectral bands. This is not a trivial task when the goal is efficiency and full automation. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the automated co-registration of frame hyperspectral data. The operated wavelength is divided in an appropriate number of spectral groups. Then the co-registration of all the spectral bands of each group is performed. In particular, for each group the spectral band with the broader spectral variation is used as the reference for all the other ones. In a similar manner, but taking into account both the spectral variation and the proximity of each spectral band, the appropriate bands are selected for the co-registration of each group. We narrow effectively the search space of solutions by selecting with an unsupervised manner the spectral bands which can lead quickly to the solution. The developed algorithm has been evaluated both qualitatively and quantitative over agricultural fields which in contrast to urban areas their smooth terrain structure and texture impede the performance of local descriptors. Experimental results and the overall validation indicate the effectiveness of the developed algorithm.

Self-Gravitational Corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde Formula and the FRW Brane Cosmology in SdS_5 Bulk

description: The semiclassical corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde entropy of a five-dimensional Schwarzschild de-Sitter black hole (SdS_5) are explicitly evaluated. These corrections are considered within the context of KKW analysis and arise as a result of the self-gravitation effect. In addition, a four-dimensional spacelike brane is considered as the boundary of the SdS_5 bulk background. It is already known that the induced geometry of the brane is exactly given by that of a radiation-dominated FRW universe. By exploiting the CFT/FRW-cosmology relation, we derive the self-gravitational corrections to the first Friedmann-like equation which is the equation of the brane motion. The additional term that arises due to the semiclassical analysis can be viewed as stiff matter where the self-gravitational corrections act as the source for it. This result is contrary to standard analysis that regards the charge of SdS_5 bulk black hole as the source for stiff matter. Furthermore, we rewrite the Friedmann-like equation in a such way that it represents the conservation equation of energy of a point particle moving in a one-dimensional effective potential. The self-gravitational corrections to the effective potential and, consequently, to the point particle's motion are obtained. A short analysis on the asymptotic behavior of the 4-dimensional brane is presented.

description: We present a dynamical description of slow relaxation processes based on the extension of Onsager's fluctuation theory to systems in local quasi-equilibrium. A non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation for the conditional probability density is derived and from it we obtain the relaxation equation for the moments. We show that the fluctuation-dissipation theorem can be formulated in terms of the temperature of the system at local quasi-equilibrium. Our theory may be applied to a wide variety of systems undergoing slow relaxation. We discuss in particular slow dynamics in glassy systems and Brownian motion in a granular gas.

description: The invariance of nonlinear partial differential equations under a certain infinite-dimensional Lie algebra A_N(z) in N spatial dimensions is studied. The special case A_1(2) was introduced in J. Stat. Phys. {\bf 75}, 1023 (1994) and contains the Schrödinger Lie algebra sch_1 as a Lie subalgebra. It is shown that there is no second-order equation which is invariant under the massless realizations of A_N(z). However, a large class of strongly non-linear partial differential equations is found which are conditionally invariant with respect to the massless realization of A_N(z) such that the well-known Monge-Ampere equation is the required additional condition. New exact solutions are found for some representatives of this class.

Astronomy and the new SI

description: In 2019 the International System of units (SI) conceptually re-invented itself. This was necessary because quantum-electronic devices had become so precise that the old SI could no longer calibrate them. The new system defines values of fundamental constants (including $c,h,k,e$ but not $G$) and allows units to be realized from the defined constants through any applicable equation of physics. In this new and more abstract SI, units can take on new guises --- for example, the kilogram is at present best implemented as a derived electrical unit. Relevant to astronomy, however, is that several formerly non-SI units, such as electron-volts, light-seconds, and what we may call "gravity seconds" $GM/c^3$, can now be interpreted not as themselves units, but as shorthand for volts and seconds being used with particular equations of physics. Moreover, the classical astronomical units have exact and rather convenient equivalents in the new SI: zero AB magnitude amounts to $\simeq5\times10^{10}$ photons $\rm m^{-2}\,s^{-1}$ per logarithmic frequency or wavelength interval, $\rm 1\,au\simeq 500$ light-seconds, $\rm 1\,pc\simeq 10^8$ light-seconds, while a solar mass $\simeq5$ gravity-seconds. As a result, the unit conversions ubiquitous in astrophysics can now be eliminated, without introducing other problems, as the old-style SI would have done. We review a variety of astrophysical processes illustrating the simplifications possible with the new-style SI, with special attention to gravitational dynamics, where care is needed to avoid propagating the uncertainty in $G$. Well-known systems (GPS satellites, GW170817, and the M87 black hole) are used as examples wherever possible.
