description: The rotation of two-component Fermi gases and the subsequent appearance of vortices have been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. Recent experimental advances in hyperfine state-dependent potentials and highly degenerate heteronuclear Fermi gases suggest that it would be feasible to create component-dependent rotation potentials in future experiments. In this study we use an effective field theory for Fermi gases to consider the effects of rotating only one component of the Fermi gas. We find that the superfluid band gap in bulk exists up to higher rotation frequencies because the superfluid at rest, far away from the vortex, has to resist only half of the rotational effects. The vortex remains the energetically favorable state above a critical frequency but exhibits a larger core size.

The Origin of the Initial Mass Function and Its Dependence on the Mean Jeans Mass in Molecular Clouds

description: We investigate the dependence of stellar properties on the mean thermal Jeans mass in molecular clouds. We compare the results from the two largest hydrodynamical simulations of star formation to resolve the fragmentation process down to the opacity limit, the first of which was reported by Bate, Bonnell & Bromm. The initial conditions of the two calculations are identical except for the radii of the clouds, which are chosen so that the mean densities and mean thermal Jeans masses of the clouds differ by factors of nine and three, respectively. We find that the denser cloud, with the lower mean thermal Jeans mass, produces a higher proportion of brown dwarfs and has a lower characteristic (median) mass of the stars and brown dwarfs. This dependence of the initial mass function (IMF) on the density of the cloud may explain the observation that the Taurus star-forming region appears to be deficient in brown dwarfs when compared with the Orion Trapezium cluster. The new calculation also produces wide binaries (separations >20 AU), one of which is a wide binary brown dwarf system. Based on the hydrodynamical calculations, we develop a simple accretion/ejection model for the origin of the IMF. In the model, all stars and brown dwarfs begin with the same mass (set by the opacity limit for fragmentation) and grow in mass until their accretion is terminated stochastically by their ejection from the cloud through dynamically interactions. The model predicts that the main variation of the IMF in different star-forming environments should be in the location of the peak (due to variations in the mean thermal Jeans mass of the cloud) and in the substellar regime. However, the slope of the IMF at high-masses may depend on the dispersion in the accretion rates of protostars.

description: Now that fundamental quantum principles of indeterminacy and measurement have become the basis of new technologies that provide secrecy between two communicating parties, there is a need to provide teaching laboratories that illustrate how these technologies work. In this article we describe a laboratory exercise in which students perform quantum key distribution with single photons, and see how the secrecy of the communication is ensured by the principles of quantum superposition and state projection. We used a table-top apparatus, similar to those used in correlated-photon undergraduate laboratories, to implement the Bennett-Brassard-84 protocol with polarization-entangled photons. Our experiment shows how the communication between two parties is disrupted by an eavesdropper. We use a simple quartz plate to mimic how an eavesdropper intercepts, measures, and resends the photons used in the communication, and we analyze the state of the light to show how the eavesdropper changes it.

description: We estimate the effect of democratic transitions on agricultural protection in a sample of 74 developing and developed countries, observed in the 1955-2005 period. We employ both differences-in-differences regressions and semi-parametric matching methods, exploiting the time series and cross-sectional variation in the data. Our semi-parametric matching estimates show that parametric methods might underestimate the true effect of democracy on agricultural protection. We find a strong increase in agricultural protection (reduce in taxation) after a country transition to democracy. Specifically a democratic transition increases agricultural protection by about 9 percent points. However, the effect is asymmetric as the effect of leaving democracy on protection is close to zero. The evidence supports the redistributive nature of democratic institutions toward the majority and, therefore, it is not inconsistent with the median voter model of political behaviour.

description: Shapes of biological membranes are dynamically regulated in living cells. Although membrane shape deformation by proteins at thermal equilibrium has been extensively studied, nonequilibrium dynamics have been much less explored. Recently, chemical reaction propagation has been experimentally observed in plasma membranes. Thus, it is important to understand how the reaction-diffusion dynamics are modified on deformable curved membranes. Here, we investigated nonequilibrium pattern formation on vesicles induced by mechanochemical feedback between membrane deformation and chemical reactions, using dynamically triangulated membrane simulations combined with the Brusselator model. We found that membrane deformation changes stable patterns relative to those that occur on a non-deformable curved surface, as determined by linear stability analysis. We further found that budding and multi-spindle shapes are induced by Turing patterns, and we also observed the transition from oscillation patterns to stable spot patterns. Our results demonstrate the importance of mechanochemical feedback in pattern formation on deforming membranes.

description: It is shown that an accelerating expansion of the present-day Universe extracted from observed luminosity of the type Ia supernovae can be explained by quantum theory which takes into account feedback coupling between geometry and matter (like in Mach's principle). At the same time an accelerating expansion of the Universe is explained by the influence of small negative cosmological constant. A comparison with the model with positive cosmological constant (dark energy) which also has obtained its theoretical grounds in a structure of the developed formalism is made. Parameters of the Universe in the states with large quantum numbers are calculated.

description: In this paper, the gap waveguide technology is examined for packaging liquid crystal (LC) in tunable microwave devices. For this purpose, a line based passive phase shifter is designed and implemented in a ridge gap waveguide (RGW) topology and filled with LC serving as functional material. The inherent direct current (DC) decoupling property of gap waveguides is used to utilize the waveguide surroundings as biasing electrodes for tuning the LC. The bed of nails structure of the RGW exhibits an E-field suppression of 76 dB in simulation, forming a completely shielded device. The phase shifter shows a maximum figure of merit (FoM) of 70 °/dB from 20 GHz to 30 GHz with a differential phase shift of 387° at 25 GHz. The insertion loss ranges from 3.5 dB to 5.5 dB depending on the applied biasing voltage of 0 V to 60 V.

description: Recent studies have emphasized that the poorest farmers are often net buyers of key commodities and therefore harmed by rising prices. We use LSMS data from Tanzania, Vietnam and Guatemala to test the degree of net purchases or sales by income level. We find that poorer farmers may be net buyers of individual crops, but only the poorest are net buyers of all crops. More generally, net sales among poor farmers are low. We conclude that agricultural price changes have a diverse but limited influence on poor farmers’ welfare, because their farm sales tend to be offset by food purchases.
The theory of synchrotron emission from supernova remnants

description: The time-dependent nonlinear kinetic theory for cosmic ray (CR) acceleration in supernova remnants (SNRs) is applied studying the properties of the synchrotron emission from SNRs, in particular, the surface brightness-diameter ($Σ-D$) relation. Detailed numerical calculations are performed for the expected range of the relevant physical parameters, namely the ambient density and the supernova explosion energy. The magnetic field in SNRs is assumed to be significantly amplified by the efficiently accelerating nuclear CR component. Due to the growing number of accelerated CRs the expected SNR luminosity increases during the free expansion phase, reaches a peak value at the beginning of the Sedov phase and then decreases again, since in this stage the overall CR number remains nearly constant, whereas the effective magnetic field diminishes with time. The theoretically predicted brightness-diameter relation in the radio range in the Sedov phase is close to $Σ_\mathrm{R}\propto D^{-17/4}$. It fits the observational data in a very satisfactory way. The observed spread of $Σ_\mathrm{R}$ at a given SNR size $D$ is the result of the spread of supernova explosion energies and interstellar medium densities.

description: Cash grain markets have premiums and discounts for quality characteristics that are important to individual market participants. Premiums and discounts are determined by and change with the supply and demand for those quality characteristics. This seventh annual report contains the results of the 1990 survey of the pricing and marketing practices of North Dakota country elevators for durum and hard red spring (HRS) wheat. The results show that the HRS wheat protein levels fell from their 1988 and 1989 highs, and that the protein premium for HRS wheat increased over the past year. Discounts have generally become less since 1988 for both HRS and durum wheat.

description: This report is an analysis of themes that emerged from interviews with 21 Native American entrepreneurs who live on North Dakota Indian reservations. The purpose of the study was to determine factors associated with entrepreneurial success on these reservations. A review of the data led to the following highlights: Most of the entrepreneurs credited their parents with having the greatest amount of influence on them, their values, and their entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial qualities they learned from their parents included (1) how to work and the value of work, (2) the value of money, (3 self-esteem, and (4) parental involvement in training. The enterprises started by the entrepreneurs were, for the most part, "family businesses," which supported their families and used their families' labor. Ninety percent of the entrepreneurs completed high school, and over 75 percent of them had post-high school education. Vocational training programs were particularly important to them. Practical, work-related skills and business-related course work were seen as most relevant to their entrepreneurship. From previous employment, they learned human relations skills, responsibility, and job-related skills that were useful in creating their own businesses. Reasons for beginning an enterprise included (1) personal interest or potential for profit, (2) encouragement from friends and family, (3) previous work experience, (4) a desire to "be one's own boss," and (5) a desire to help other Native American people. The entrepreneurs defined success in several ways: (1) sufficient income, (2) a sense of independence, freedom, and control, (3) ability to expand or improve their business, (4) happiness, and (5) making a contribution to the community, particularly the Native American community. Factors associated with entrepreneurial success included (1) good customer relations, (2) good employee relations, (3) quality products, (4) experience in business, (5) hard work and commitment, and (6) family and community support. Special talents successful Native American entrepreneurs claimed were (1) knowledge, experience, and managerial skills, (2) hard work, (3) aggressive business attitudes, and (4) human relations skills. One-half of the Native American entrepreneurs financed their enterprises from their own assets. Others relied on commercial loans or Small Business Administration or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) loans. Technical assistance was provided by family, the tribe, wholesalers, and various professionals and public agencies. Difficulties faced by Native American Entrepreneurs were (1) receipt of credit, (2) lack of support from the community, (3) issues pertaining to business management, and (4) issues pertaining to reservation culture. Benefits available to the entrepreneurs included (1) BIA loans, (2) respect from other Native American people, and (3) business contacts.

description: State trading is a common feature in the management of imports and exports of agricultural products and it has been a long-standing feature of China’s agricultural trade regime. While the use of state trading was modified by China’s accession to the WTO, it remains a dominant feature for some commodities, even although there have been recent attempts to diminish its importance. In this paper, we review the role that the state trading enterprise (STE), COFCO, continues to play in the importing and exporting of some agricultural commodities. We then review the economic theory that has been developed to measure the tariff equivalent of importing state trading enterprises. Finally, we apply that theory through a calibration exercise to measure the tariff equivalent of COFCO in China's import market for wheat. We find that the trade distortions created by COFCO remain important as do the associated welfare effects.

description: LISA Pathfinder (LPF) has been a space-based mission designed to test new technologies that will be required for a gravitational wave observatory in space. Magnetically driven forces play a key role in the instrument sensitivity in the low-frequency regime (mHz and below), the measurement band of interest for a space-based observatory. The magnetic field can couple to the magnetic susceptibility and remanent magnetic moment from the test masses and disturb them from their geodesic movement. LISA Pathfinder carried on-board a dedicated magnetic measurement subsystem with noise levels of 10 $ \rm nT \ Hz^{-1/2}$ from 1 Hz down to 1 mHz. In this paper we report on the magnetic measurements throughout LISA Pathfinder operations. We characterise the magnetic environment within the spacecraft, study the time evolution of the magnetic field and its stability down to 20 $μ$Hz, where we measure values around 200 $ \rm nT \ Hz^{-1/2}$ and identify two different frequency regimes, one related to the interplanetary magnetic field and the other to the magnetic field originating inside the spacecraft. Finally, we characterise the non-stationary component of the fluctuations of the magnetic field below the mHz and relate them to the dynamics of the solar wind.

Probing Primordial and Pre-Galactic Lithium with High Velocity Clouds

Year: 2004

description: The pre-Galactic abundance of lithium offers a unique window into non-thermal cosmological processes. The primordial Li abundance is guaranteed to be present and probes big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), while an additional Li component is likely to have been produced by cosmic rays accelerated in large scale structure formation. Pre-Galactic Li currently can only be observed in low metallicity Galactic halo stars, but abundance measurements are plagued with systematic uncertainties due to modeling of stellar atmospheres and convection. We propose a new site for measuring pre-Galactic Li: low-metallicity, high-velocity clouds (HVCs) which are likely to be extragalactic gas accreted onto the Milky Way, and which already have been found to have deuterium abundances consistent with primordial. A Li observation in such an HVC would provide the first extragalactic Li measurement, and could shed new light on the apparent discrepancy between BBN predictions and halo star Li abundance determinations. Furthermore, HVC Li could at the same time test for the presence of non-primordial Li due to cosmic rays. The observability of elemental and isotopic Li abundances is discussed, and candidate sites identified.

description: Ozone in Earth's atmosphere is known to have a radiative forcing effect on climate. Motivated by geochemical evidence for one or more nearby supernovae about 2.6 million years ago, we have investigated the question of whether a supernova at about 50 pc could cause a change in Earth's climate through its impact on atmospheric ozone concentrations. We used the "Planet Simulator" (PlaSim) intermediate-complexity climate model with prescribed ozone profiles taken from existing atmospheric chemistry modeling. We found that the effect on globally averaged surface temperature is small, but localized changes are larger and differences in atmospheric circulation and precipitation patterns could have regional impacts.

description: Investigation of transport and magnetic properties of MnTe at low temperatures sInvestigation of transport and magnetic properties of MnTe at low temperatures showed anomalies like negative coefficient of resistance below 100K and a sharp rise in susceptibility at around 83K similar to a ferromagnetic transition. Low temperature powder neutron diffraction experiments were therefore carried out to understand the underlying phenomena responsible for such anomalous behavior. Our study indicates that the rise in susceptibility at low temperatures is due to strengthening of ferromagnetic interaction within the plane over the inter plane antiferromagnetic interactions.

description: This study assessed the preference for and efficiency of land tenure contract arrangements in rice farming in West Java, Indonesia. Specifically, it examined the transaction costs associated with land tenure contracts, the land tenure contract preference, the efficiency of land tenure contracts, and the policy agenda to address the problems of land tenure efficiency. Three types of land tenure contracts were considered: sharecropping, fixed rental and mortgage. Farm plot data were used to econometrically investigate whether transaction cost had an effect on the choice of land tenure contracts and on the efficiency of land tenure contracts. The transaction cost coefficient of 0.097 (significant of 1% level) in the choice of land tenure indicates that as the value of transaction cost increases, the landlord will most likely choose sharecropping. However, if the transaction cost decreases, it is more likely that the landlord will choose mortgage or fixed rental. These findings show that contract choice of landlord’s is influenced by the transaction cost. The results show that sharecropping is the more efficient land tenure arrangement in West Java, Indonesia. Thus it does not support the Marshallian view of sharecropping as an inefficient land tenure arrangement. Sharecropping in the study area is benefiting both the landlord and the tenant farmers. Transaction cost dismisses as labor monitoring is needed to the barest minimum and higher marginal product is achieved. Adoption of sharecropping in West Java like support the government program of consolidating rice farm to attain scale in economics’ and utilization more efficiently farm labor. The government needs to facilitate the dissemination of information on land transaction.

The accuracy of an approximate distribution function is examined in detail. It is found to give results that are generally qualitatively correct, and for many properties, semiquantitatively correct as well. The agreement, however, is not as good as that found for systems with ion-bath gas ratios greatly exceeding unity. The ion-bath gas mass ratio for NO⁺-Ar is close to but less than unity, thus increasing the importance of inelastic collisions. The perpendicular velocity coupling term [formula not included] has a minimum which displays a general behaviour of drifting ions missed in the study of NO⁺-He. Strong velocity-angular momentum coupling is found, and in particular the quadrupolar alignment parameter as a function of the velocity parallel with the field takes on, with decreasing velocities, values that start as negative, become positive, and subsequently decay toward negative. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the decay of this alignment towards negative values at the low end of the velocity distribution. In addition to NO⁺-Ar results, simulations of H₂O⁺-He are also presented. This system was used to test modifications of the code to simulate ions of arbitrary shape. An ab initio potential energy surface for H₂O⁺-He was calculated. The mobilities at different field strengths is reported.

description: Non-equilibrium states of quantum systems in contact with thermal baths help telling environments with different temperatures or different statistics apart. We extend these studies to a more generic problem that consists in discriminating between two baths with disparate constituents at unequal temperatures. Notably there exist temperature regimes in which the presence of coherence in the initial state preparation is beneficial for the discrimination capability. We also find that non-equilibrium states are not universally optimal, and detail the conditions in which it becomes convenient to wait for complete thermalisation of the probe. These concepts are illustrated in a linear optical simulation.

description: This paper investigates the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) and its relationship to trade in the U.S. food processing industry. A representative multinational corporation maximizes profits by choosing between production in the home country, which is exported, and production in a foreign country. This introduces the possibility that foreign affiliate sales can be a substitute and/or complement for exports. The empirical framework consists of a system of four equations with foreign affiliate sales, exports, affiliate employment, and FDI as endogenous variables. The results confirm a small substitution between foreign affiliate sales and exports. The empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that FDI is also protection-jumping.

description: The application of the hyperspherical harmonic approach to the case of non-local two-body potentials is described. Given the properties of the hyperspherical harmonic functions, there are no difficulties in considering the approach in both coordinate and momentum space. The binding energies and other ground state properties of A=3 and 4 nuclei are calculated using the CD Bonn 2000 and N3LO two-body potentials. The results are shown to be in excellent agreement with corresponding ones obtained by other accurate techniques.

description: The Einstein field equations can be derived in $n$ dimensions ($n>2$) by the variations of the Palatini action. The Killing reduction of 5-dimensional Palatini action is studied on the assumption that pentads and Lorentz connections are preserved by the Killing vector field. A Palatini formalism of 4-dimensional action for gravity coupled to a vector field and a scalar field is obtained, which gives exactly the same fields equations in Kaluza-Klein theory.

description: We prove that, under some natural conditions, Hamiltonian systems on a contact manifold $C$ can be split into a Reeb dynamics on an open subset of $C$ and a Liouville dynamics on a submanifold of $C$ of codimension 1. For the Reeb dynamics we find an invariant measure. Moreover, we show that, under certain completeness conditions, the existence of an invariant measure for the Liouville dynamics can be characterized using the notion of a symplectic sandwich with contact bread.

description: We analyze the Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample of QSOs in terms of space density, including the redshift distribution, the radio luminosity function, and the evidence for a redshift cutoff. With regard to the luminosity function, we note the strong evolution in space density from the present day to epochs corresponding to redshifts ~ 1. We draw attention to a selection effect due to spread in spectral shape that may have misled other investigators to consider the apparent similarities in shape of luminosity functions in different redshift shells as evidence for luminosity evolution. To examine the evolution at redshifts beyond 3, we develop a model-independent method based on the V_max test using each object to predict expectation densities beyond z=3. With this we show that a diminution in space density at z > 3 is present at a significance level >4 sigma. We identify a severe bias in such determinations from using flux-density measurements at epochs significantly later than that of the finding survey. The form of the diminution is estimated, and is shown to be very similar to that found for QSOs selected in X-ray and optical wavebands. The diminution is also compared with the current estimates of star-formation evolution, with less conclusive results. In summary we suggest that the reionization epoch is little influenced by powerful flat-spectrum QSOs, and that dust obscuration does not play a major role in our view of the QSO population selected at radio, optical or X-ray wavelengths.

The accepted version is expanded to include an analysis of the form of the decline in radio-QSO space density at high redshifts.

description: Photovoltaic cell is an electrical device that is capable of convert the light energy received from the sun directly into the electrical energy, but this energy is generated at very low voltage levels. For this reason, the series connection of these cells is used to build photovoltaic modules to increase the output voltage levels. Farther, the series and parallel connection of these modules can be used to create a photovoltaic array that can generate high power at higher voltage levels. The most important issue in a photovoltaic array is to reach the maximum amount of power in its output. There are several methods to achieve this amount of power in the uniform radiation conditions. The great challenge in maximum power tracking is that the modules in an array experience non-uniform radiation, which is called as partial shading conditions. In this situation, the power-voltage (P-V) curve offers several local maximum power point and the use of conventional maximum power point tracking algorithms in uniform radiation conditions dose not guarantee to achieve the global maximum power point. In this research, a new method for tracking the maximum power of photovoltaic arrays under partial shading conditions based on photovoltaic array model is proposed. In this method, without need to the numerical solution of the nonlinear equations of the PV array, the global maximum power point voltage is estimated. The global peak point voltage obtained at each instant is given as a reference voltage to the input voltage controller of a power electronic converter, and therefore the output voltage of the photovoltaic array is set at the global peak point voltage in different radiation conditions. The radiation and temperature of the modules are estimated and there is no need for pyranometers and thermometers to determine the radiation and temperature of each module. The satisfactory operation of the proposed method under various irradiation patterns for the photovoltaic array shown by the MATLAB/Simulink software.

description: We consider the Palatini formalism of gravity with cosmological constant $Λ$ coupled to a scalar field $ϕ$ in $n$-dimensions. The $n$-dimensional Einstein equations with $Λ$ can be derived by the variation of the coupled Palatini action provided $n>2$. The Hamiltonian analysis of the coupled action is carried out by a $1+(n-1)$ decomposition of the spacetime. It turns out that both Palatini action and Hilbert action lead to the same geometric dynamics in the presence of $Λ$ and $ϕ$. While, the $n$-dimensional Palatini action could not give a connection dynamics formalism directly.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WITH POLICIES FOR SALE

Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: This paper generalizes the Grossman-Helpman political economy model to characterize the structure of environmental and industry protection for a small open economy when domestic and/or trade policies are the outcome of a noncooperative common agency game between sector-specific producer lobbies and the government. For a consumption externality, the political equilibrium results if domestic and trade policies are available, are production-enhancing protection of organized industries, but the same environmental protection as Pigouvian taxes. Subsidies to organized industries counterbalance environmental taxes when there is a production externality, and it is ambiguous whether domestic or trade policy alone leads to more environmental protection. In addition, this paper demonstrates that the original Grossman-Helpman results arise as a special case that rests on the assumption that only trade policies are available to the government.

description: Radiative cooling is a passive cooling technology by reflecting sunlight and emitting radiation in the atmospheric sky window. Although highly desired, full daytime sub-ambient radiative cooling in commercial-like single-layer particle-matrix paints is yet to be achieved. In this work, we have demonstrated full daytime sub-ambient radiative cooling in CaCO3-acrylic paint by adopting large bandgap fillers, a high particle concentration and a broad size distribution. Our paint shows the highest solar reflectance of 95.5% among paints and a high sky-window emissivity of 0.94. Field tests show cooling power exceeding 37 W/m2 and lower surface temperature more than 1.7C below ambient at noon. A figure of merit RC is proposed to compare the cooling performance under different weather conditions. The RC of our cooling paint is 0.62, among the best radiative cooling performance while offering unprecedented benefits of the convenient paint form, low cost, and the compatibility with commercial paint fabrication process.
