description: Observations have shown that the disk frequency and the fraction of accreting pre-main-sequence stars decrease with the age of the population and that some stars appear to have disks while their accretion has stopped. Still, it is unclear how disk-bearing stars stop their accretion. To provide insight into the last stages of accretion in low-mass young stars, we conducted a survey of disk-bearing stars that are thought to be non-accretors to identify stars still accreting at very low rates. Here we present the first catalog of the survey of 170 disk-bearing non-accreting stars in Chamaeleon I, Orion OB1, Upper Scorpius, $γ$ Velorum, and Upper Centaurus Lupus, using He I $λ$10830 as a sensitive probe of accretion. We classify the line profiles into six types and argue that those showing redshifted and/or blueshifted absorption are still accreting. Using these classifications, we found that, among disk-bearing stars previously classified as non-accretors, at least 20-30% are still accreting, with a larger fraction of those at younger population ages. While the difference between the outer disk signature and accretion status is unclear, we find a difference between the inner disk excess and accretion status. There is no preference in the mass of the newly identified accretors, suggesting that the processes inhibiting accretion do not directly depend on mass in the typical mass range of T Tauri stars. Lastly, we found that at a low accretion level, the H$α$ width at the 10% height criteria mischaracterizes a larger fraction of accretors than the line's equivalent width.

description: The study examines the effect of credit on yield gap and technical efficiency of Boro paddy production in the study area. The results indicated that credit receivers achieved higher amount of potential yield than the credit non-receivers. Mechanical power cost, irrigation cost, application of urea, application of MP and credit dummy had positive impact on reducing yield gap while human labor, TSP application and age had negative impact on reducing yield gap. Credit also showed positive impact on increasing technical efficiency. Technical efficiency was higher for credit receivers than the non receivers according to tenure status, age category, educational status, frequency of extension contacted.

description: This paper was designed to investigate the present status of marine fish marketing aiming to determine marketing costs, margins and profits of marketing intermediaries both in domestic and export marketing. Primary data were collected by survey method wherein various market intermediaries were interviewed from selected districts for eliciting information at various stages of marine fish marketing. The study revealed that marketing margin as well as marketing profit both were relatively higher in consumer market followed by primary and secondary markets where beparies and aratdars were involved. Results indicate that high priced fish demanded high marketing cost resulting higher marketing margin and profit compared to low priced fish. In the case of dry fish marketing, irrespective of species of fish marketed, marketing margin and profit were almost doubled compared to frozen fish marketing. Like frozen fish, high valued dry fish also claimed higher marketing cost leaving higher marketing margin as well as marketing profit for intermediaries. In export marketing, both for frozen and dried fish, marketing profit depends mainly on demand for exportable fish in the world market.

description: This study has examined the impact of partial mechanization on crop productivity, income and employment generation in Trisal Upazila of Mymensingh District. Gittinger's methodology (1994) was followed to appraise the profitability of the concerned equipment. The activity budget was used to find out the profitability of MV Boro paddy producing farmers considering `with' and `without' situations. The general findings of the study were that the investments in the selected mechanical equipment were profitable. The sensitivity analyses suggested that the profitability of the concerned equipment, as expected, was highly correlated with 10 percent increase in O& M costs and/or 10 percent decrease in benefits. The results revealed that the individual users and owner-cum-users group earned more income than the non-users group of mechanical equipment. It was also found that the per hectare labour use in MV Boro paddy production in equipment user groups was lesser than that of non-users group. This implied that there was a negative impact of partial mechanization on employment with respect to MV Boro production. However, multiple uses of mechanical equipment created more non-farm employment opportunities in rural Bangladesh like repairing workshop, driving and operating of DSSTWs, PTs etc., shops for equipment,,-spare-parts, fertilizers, diesel, insecticides and transportations.

description: This paper applies the concept of a term structure to agricultural land rental prices. Based on theoretical considerations, we develop a hedonic pricing model that allows for different shapes of the term structure curve while controlling for other price-relevant characteristics. We apply this model to land lease contracts in Saxony-Anhalt concluded between 2002 and 2010. We find an upward-sloping term structure at the beginning, that is, market participants expected increasing rental prices. For the subsequent years, however, we detect a single-humped term structure. Hence, market participants revised their expectations and assumed a decline of land rental prices in the long-term.

description: Policy responses to the problems facing rural areas across Europe have involved the replacement of “productivist” measures that subsidise agriculture to strategies promoting “integrated rural development”, emphasising the interconnections between various facets of the rural economy. Thus farm modernisation and product processing and marketing are linked with the promotion of a more diversified economic base centred on tourism and recreation and the maintenance of services for local residents. An essential element of this model is its reliance on collaborative actions involving a range of community or civil society actors. This paper examines the extent to which the operation of community-owned businesses in rural parts of the Yorkshire and Humber region in the UK corresponds to these ideals of integrated rural development. Evidence is presented on their geographical footprint with respect to both direct economic impacts and linkages with social and institutional networks. This allows an assessment to be made of the contribution that such enterprises make to rural economic development as a whole. The conclusion is that they do have the potential to assist integrated rural development, but only as a small part of a much wider series of economic, social and environmental actions.

description: The objective of our research is to predict how electricity demand varies spatially between status quo regionally-uniform electricity pricing and hypothetical regionally-varying electricity pricing across usage categories. We summarize the empirical results of a case study of electricity demand in South Korea with three key findings and their related implications. First, the price elasticities of electricity demand differ across usage categories. Specifically, electricity demands for manufacturing and retail uses were price inelastic and close to unit elastic, respectively, while those for agricultural and residential uses were not statistically significant. This information is important in designing energy policy, because higher electricity prices could reduce electricity demands for manufacturing and retail uses, resulting in slower growth in those sectors. Second, spatial spillovers in electricity demand vary across uses. Understanding the spatial structure of electricity demand provides useful information to energy policy makers for anticipating changes in demand across regions via regionally-varying electricity pricing for different uses. Third, simulation results suggest that spatial variations among electricity demands by usage category under a regionally-varying electricity-pricing policy differ from those under a regionally-uniform electricity-pricing policy. Differences in spatial changes between the policies provide information for developing a realistic regionally-varying electricity-pricing policy according to usage category.

description: Recent observations suggest that the ratio of the total density to the critical density of the universe, $Ω_0$, is likely to be very close to one, with a significant proportion of this energy being in the form of a dark component with negative pressure. Motivated by this result, we study the question of observational detection of possible non-trivial topologies in universes with $Ω_0 \sim 1$, which include a cosmological constant. Using a number of indicators we find that as $Ω_0 \to 1$, increasing families of possible manifolds (topologies) become either undetectable or can be excluded observationally. Furthermore, given a non-zero lower bound on $|Ω_0 - 1|$, we can rule out families of topologies (manifolds) as possible candidates for the shape of our universe. We demonstrate these findings concretely by considering families of topologies and employing bounds on cosmological parameters from recent observations. We find that given the present bounds on cosmological parameters, there are families of both hyperbolic and spherical manifolds that remain undetectable and families that can be excluded as the shape of our universe. These results are of importance in future search strategies for the detection of the shape of our universe, given that there are an infinite number of theoretically possible topologies and that the future observations are expected to put a non-zero lower bound on $|Ω_0 - 1|$ which is more accurate and closer to zero.

description: We propose a gauge model where quark-lepton universality is an accidental symmetry which is only approximate, in analogy to the well-accepted notion that strong isospin is accidental and approximate. This is a natural framework for explaining possible small deviations of quark-lepton universality which is applicable to the recently reported apparent nonunitarity of the quark mixing matrix. As a result, small departures from quark-lepton universality are expected in Z decays as well as in the recent neutrino data of the NuTeV collaboration and in future low-energy experiments. New physics is predicted at the TeV scale.

description: We compare the large scale galaxy clustering between the North and South SDSS early data release (EDR) and also with the clustering in the APM Galaxy Survey. The three samples are independent and cover an area of 150, 230 and 4300 square degrees respectively. We combine SDSS data in different ways to approach the APM selection. Given the good photometric calibration of the SDSS data and the very good match of its North and South number counts, we combine them in a single sample. The joint clustering is compared with equivalent subsamples in the APM. The final sampling errors are small enough to provide an independent test for some of the results in the APM. We find evidence for an inflection in the shape of the 2-point function in the SDSS which is very similar to what is found in the APM. This feature has been interpreted as evidence for non-linear gravitational growth. By studying higher order correlations, we can also confirm good agreement with the hypothesis of Gaussian initial conditions (and small biasing) for the structure traced by the large scale SDSS galaxy distribution.

description: Spatiotemporal nonlinear interactions in multimode fibers are of interest for beam shaping and frequency conversion by exploiting the nonlinear propagation of different pump regimes from quasi-continuous wave to ultrashort pulses centered around visible to infrared pump wavelengths. The nonlinear effects in multi-mode fibers depend strongly on the excitation condition, however relatively little work has been reported on this subject. Here, we present the first machine learning approach to learn and control the nonlinear frequency conversion inside multimode fibers by tailoring the excitation condition via deep neural networks. Trained with experimental data, deep neural networks are adapted to learn the relation between the spatial beam profile of the pump pulse and the spectrum generation. For different user-defined target spectra, network-suggested beam shapes are applied and control over the cascaded Raman scattering and supercontinuum generation processes are achieved. Our results present a novel method to tune the spectra of a broadband source.

description: The pricing of crop insurance products hinges crucially on the accurate estimation of the underlying yield densities. Multiple estimation methods have already been examined in the literature, but the need for other potential candidates remains essential. Here we propose and examine a Bayesian nonparametric model which is based on Dirichlet processes for yield estimation. We deploy our proposed model for the empirical estimation of county level yield data for Cotton from Texas. Next, we examine the implications of our modeling framework on the pricing of the Group Risk Plan (GRP) insurance compared to a nonparametric Kernel-type model.
Exploring leptoquark effects in hyperon and kaon decays with missing energy

description: We entertain the possibility that scalar leptoquarks (LQs) generate consequential effects on the strangeness-changing decays of hyperons and kaons involving missing energy carried away by a pair of invisible fermions. Although such processes have suppressed rates in the standard model (SM), they could get significant enhancement in the presence of the LQs. In order to respect the available data on the kaon modes $K\toπν\barν$ and increase the rates of the hyperon decays substantially at the same time, two different scalar LQs are needed. If the LQs have Yukawa couplings solely to SM fermions, we find that the hyperon rates cannot attain values within the reach of ongoing or near-future experiments because of the combined constraints from the measurements on kaon mixing and lepton-flavor-violating processes. However, if we include light right-handed neutrinos in the LQ interactions, their contributions can evade the leading restrictions and translate into hyperon rates which may be big enough to be probed by upcoming searches. Thus, these hyperon modes could provide a new avenue for seeking sterile neutrinos.

description: The objective of this paper is to understand the mechanisms by which development projects facilitate market linkage of smallholder farmers based on panel data from Nicaragua. We find that activities related to entrepreneurial practices have positive and statistically significant effect on commercialization. We also find that increased commercialization is positively correlated with total bean sales income, suggesting a positive indirect effect of the activities. Other activities demonstrate no positive and robust effect on commercialization while direct positive effects on sales income can be observed. This implies that market linkage of smallholder farmers require different sets of intervention tools than traditional farm technical assistance.

description: Flood insurance differs widely in scope and form across Europe. Against the backdrop of rising flood losses a debate about the role of EU policy in shaping the future of this compensation tool is led by policy makers and industry. In this paper we investigate if and how current EU policies influence flood insurance. While the question of supply and demand is at the core of the debate, we argue that another key dimension is often overlooked: how to use insurance as a lever for risk reduction and prevention efforts. We investigate if and how current EU policies interplay with these two dimensions and then reflect on the national policy level, by illustrating two conflicting cases of flood insurance: the United Kingdom (UK), where flood insurance provision is widely available, but subject to current reform, and the Netherlands, where efforts to introduce flood insurance have only recently failed. In analysing the current positions on the role of the EU in shaping flood insurance we conclude that there is wide agreement that harmonisation of flood insurance offering across the EU is unlikely to be effective. We conclude that there is clear scope for the EU to play a greater role in linking risk transfer and prevention, beyond existing channels, to ensure an integrated approach to flood risk management across the EU.

description: We highlight some connections between the final state hadronic observables and the initial conditions using a recently found new exact family of solutions of relativistic hydrodynamics. These relations provide explicit examples of the scaling behaviour in relativistic hydrodynamics and may provide an advanced estimate of the lifetime and the initial energy density in $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 62.4$, $130$, and $200$ GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC and $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.0$ TeV Pb+Pb and $5.44$ TeV Xe+Xe as well as $\sqrt{s} = 7$, $8$ and $13$ TeV p+p collisions at LHC energies. A surprising result is that these advanced estimates yield a non-monotonic increase of the initial energy density with increasing collision energy at the RHIC energy range.

PIMS ANN

description: A system for correlating information stimuli with a user's personal information management system (PIMS) via deep learning is presented for the purpose of improving human learning by way of the haptic bond effect. Studies on human learning have provided evidence that additional modalities of information transfer during the learning process improves human learning rates. An artificial neural network (ANN), trained with textual data labeled with their locations in a user's PIMS, a graph structure defined by the information architecture developed previously by Picone & Powell. This enables simultaneous PIMS-correlated stimuli (called metastimuli) and the original stimuli. The metastimuli is applied in this system via an actuator, typically haptic. Using principal component analysis, the dimensionality of the PIMS graph is reduced to m and the graph is represented in R^m, where m is also the actuator dimensionality. A suite of optimization is conducted on the ANN weights and biases, hyper-parameters, and meta-parameters. Optimization results suggest that atom embeddings created from a small dataset with a high specificity to the problem set yields improved results over a large dataset with a low specificity. ANN training results demonstrate effective prediction of R^m vectors for the testing set with high accuracy. These results demonstrate feasibility for further studies into the effectiveness of this system and metastimuli for human learning.

description: Farm households are subject to several sources of income instability, including yield and production fluctuations, disasters such as droughts or disease, input and output price changes, and varying levels of off-farm income. This paper assesses the income variability of households operating family farms in the continental United States. We find that income volatility varies between farm household subgroups, such as farm size, commodity specialization, and geographic location and that volatility has decreased between 1998 and 2010. Regression analysis shows that households operating crop farms, larger farms, and more highly leveraged farms have higher levels of volatility. Finally, we decompose the sources of income variance and analyze the role of federal agricultural program payments in reducing volatility.

description: Topological photonic interfaces support topologically non-trivial optical modes with helical character. When combined with an embedded quantum emitter that has a circularly polarised transition dipole moment, a chiral quantum optical interface is formed due to spin-momentum locking. Here, we experimentally realise such an interface by integrating semiconductor quantum dots into a valley-Hall topological photonic crystal waveguide. We harness the robust waveguide transport to create a ring resonator which supports helical modes. Chiral coupling of quantum dot transitions, with directional contrast as high as $75\%$, is demonstrated. The interface also supports a topologically trivial mode, comparison with which allows us to clearly demonstrate the protection afforded by topology to the non-trivial mode.

description: In an earlier work, the charge (vector) and matter (scalar) radial distributions of heavy-light mesons were measured in the quenched approximation on a 16^3 times 24 lattice with a quark-gluon coupling of 5.7, a lattice spacing of 0.17 fm, and a hopping parameter corresponding to a light quark mass about that of the strange quark. Several improvements are now made: 1) The configurations are generated using dynamical fermions with a quark-gluon coupling of 5.2 (a lattice spacing of 0.14 fm); 2) Many more gauge configurations are included (78 compared with the earlier 20); 3) The distributions at many off-axis, in addition to on-axis, points are measured; 4) The data-analysis is much more complete. In particular, distributions involving excited states are extracted. The exponential decay of the charge and matter distributions can be described by mesons of mass 0.9+-0.1 and 1.5+-0.1 GeV respectively - values that are consistent with those of vector and scalar qqbar-states calculated directly with the same lattice parameters.

Spin-Charge Decoupling and Orthofermi Quantum Statistics

description: Currently Gutzwiller projection technique and nested Bethe ansatz are two main methods used to handle electronic systems in the $U$ infinity limit. We demonstrate that these two approaches describe two distinct physical systems. In the nested Bethe ansatz solutions, there is a decoupling between the spin and charge degrees of freedom. Such a decoupling is absent in the Gutzwiller projection technique. Whereas in the Gutzwiller approach, the usual antisymmetry of space and spin coordinates is maintained, we show that the Bethe ansatz wave function is compatible with a new form of quantum statistics, viz., orthofermi statistics. In this statistics, the wave function is antisymmetric in spatial coordinates alone. This feature ultimately leads to spin-charge decoupling.

description: This paper examines the impact of changes in the regulatory standards enforced by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service on the Salmonella test performance of chicken-slaughter establishments. Regulatory changes include open disclosure of establishments with poor performance on Salmonella tests and rigorous Salmonella standards. Empirical results show that public disclosure of establishments with mediocre or poor levels of performance on Salmonella tests led to a substantial drop in Salmonella levels over the 2008−2010 period, which allowed FSIS to later reduce its tolerance for acceptable levels of Salmonella in chicken by 50 percent.

description: Incorporating lattices into character-level Chinese named entity recognition is an effective method to exploit explicit word information. Recent works extend recurrent and convolutional neural networks to model lattice inputs. However, due to the DAG structure or the variable-sized potential word set for lattice inputs, these models prevent the convenient use of batched computation, resulting in serious inefficient. In this paper, we propose a porous lattice-based transformer encoder for Chinese named entity recognition, which is capable to better exploit the GPU parallelism and batch the computation owing to the mask mechanism in transformer. We first investigate the lattice-aware self-attention coupled with relative position representations to explore effective word information in the lattice structure. Besides, to strengthen the local dependencies among neighboring tokens, we propose a novel porous structure during self-attentional computation processing, in which every two non-neighboring tokens are connected through a shared pivot node. Experimental results on four datasets show that our model performs up to 9.47 times faster than state-of-the-art models, while is roughly on a par with its performance.

description: School bullying is a serious problem in academic settings all over the world. Using data from Ghana through the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study we show that bullying has a negative effect on academic performance. We also find evidence that female students are more affected by bullying. However, our analysis of the data reveals a female teacher in the classroom diminishes the negative effect of bullying on female students. The analysis uses a quasi-experimental propensity score matching and OLS methods followed by a series of robustness tests that validates the unconfoundedness and overlapping assumptions. The results of the study encourage policy makers to introduce gender sensitive anti-bullying program in academic settings.
