description: This paper specified an import demand function to measure the effects of trade liberalization more precisely. Using monthly data rather than annual data on import quantity, prices, and income, this study can reflect recent changes in consumer's tastes and patterns of expenditure. Under the assumption of tariff abolition, import of grape would increase to 27 thousand tons as the price fall to 1,600 won per kilogram by 2010. It has negative impacts on grape and pear producers' income. Even though considering positive effects on consumer's surplus, the loss of producer's revenue would be 5,190 million won in 2010.

description: We applied detrended fluctuation analysis, power spectral density, and eigenanalysis of detrended cross-correlations to investigate fMRI data representing a diurnal variation of working memory in four visual tasks: two verbal and two nonverbal. We show that the degree of fractal scaling is regionally dependent on engagement in cognitive tasks. A particularly apparent difference was found between memorisation in verbal and nonverbal tasks. Furthermore, the detrended cross-correlations between brain areas were predominantly indicative of differences between resting state and other tasks, between memorisation and retrieval, and between verbal and nonverbal tasks. The fractal and spectral analyses presented in our study are consistent with previous research related to visuospatial and verbal information processing, working memory (encoding and retrieval), and executive functions, but they were found to be more sensitive than Pearson correlations and showed the potential to obtain other subtler results. We conclude that regionally dependent cognitive task engagement can be distinguished based on the fractal characteristics of BOLD signals and their detrended cross-correlation structure.

Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: The purposes of this paper are to review the agricultural policy reform in the 1990s, to examine the changes of agricultural situations and the future prospect, and further to suggest policy directions toward the 21st century for the Korean agriculture. In Korea, agriculture is required to become a key industry creating added values and jobs, to preserve nation's land environment as an environment-sensitive industry, and to produce food needed by the people as a food industry. Korean agriculture will be able to contribute to enabling Korea to become an advanced country in the 21st century by fulfilling these roles faithfully. One of the important changes in the 21st century is the spread of an awareness that agriculture has multiple functions. Korea has advocated multi-functionality of agriculture in the WTO negotiations, and some policies are newly being attempted as part of the policies for sustainable agriculture.

description: The recent detection of gravitational waves from black hole coalescences and the first image of the black hole shadow enhance the possibilities of testing gravitational theories in the strong-field regime. In this paper, we study the physical properties and the shadow image of a class of Kerr-like rotating black holes, whose $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is generically broken. Such black hole solutions could arise in effective low-energy theories of a fundamental quantum theory of gravity, such as string theory. Within a theory-agnostic framework, we require that the Kerr-like solutions are asymptotically flat, and assume that a Carter-like constant is preserved, enabling the geodesic equations to be fully separable. Subject to these two requirements, we find that the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ asymmetry of the spacetime is characterized by two arbitrary functions of polar angle. The shadow image turns out to be $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetric on the celestial coordinates. Furthermore, the shadow is completely blind to one of the arbitrary functions. The other function, although would affect the apparent size of the shadow, it hardly distorts the shadow contour and has merely no degeneracy with the spin parameter. Therefore, the parameters in this function can be constrained with black hole shadows, only when the mass and the distance of the black hole from the earth are measured with great precision.

description: The univariate dimension reduction (UDR) method stands as a way to estimate the statistical moments of the output that is effective in a large class of uncertainty quantification (UQ) problems. UDR's fundamental strategy is to approximate the original function using univariate functions so that the UQ cost only scales linearly with the dimension of the problem. Nonetheless, UDR's effectiveness can diminish when uncertain inputs have high variance, particularly when assessing the output's second and higher-order statistical moments. This paper proposes a new method, gradient-enhanced univariate dimension reduction (GUDR), that enhances the accuracy of UDR by incorporating univariate gradient function terms into the UDR approximation function. Theoretical results indicate that the GUDR approximation is expected to be one order more accurate than UDR in approximating the original function, and it is expected to generate more accurate results in computing the output's second and higher-order statistical moments. Our proposed method uses a computational graph transformation strategy to efficiently evaluate the GUDR approximation function on tensor-grid quadrature inputs, and use the tensor-grid input-output data to compute the statistical moments of the output. With an efficient automatic differentiation method to compute the gradients, our method preserves UDR's linear scaling of computation time with problem dimension. Numerical results show that the GUDR is more accurate than UDR in estimating the standard deviation of the output and has a performance comparable to the method of moments using a third-order Taylor series expansion.

description: Lewis or Brønsted acidic methylimidazolium ionic liquid-functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles were fabricated and applied as an efficient magnetic heterogeneous catalyst for dibenzothiophene (DBT) oxidation in a biphasic system using H2O2 as the oxidant. The structures of catalysts were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, TGA, FT-IR, VSM and EDX techniques. The magnetic catalysts showed high catalytic performance in the oxidation of DBT in an n hexane/acetonitrile biphasic system using H2O2, and highconversions were obtained. The effects of contact time, temperature, amount of H2O2 and amount of catalyst on the DBT oxidative removal efficiency were investigated. The contact time of 60 min, 0.1 g catalyst, and 4 mL H2O2 at 313 K were found as optimal experimental conditions for an improved DBT oxidative removal process. The sulfur level could be lowered from 100 ppm to less than 7, 5, and 2 ppmunder optimal conditions for Fe3O4@SiO2–Mim-BF4, Fe3O4@SiO2–Mim-HSO4, and Fe3O4@SiO2–Mim– FeCl4, respectively. These nanomagnetic heterogeneous catalysts could be easily separated from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field and recycled several times.
Power corrections to the $π^0γ$ transition form factor and pion distribution amplitudes

description: Employing the standard hard-scattering approach and the running coupling method we calculate a class of power-suppressed corrections $\sim 1/Q^{2n},n=1,2,3,...$ to the electromagnetic $π^0γ$ transition form factor (FF) $Q^2F_{πγ}(Q^2)$ arising from the end-point $x \to 0,1$ integration regions. In the investigations we use a hard-scattering amplitude of the subprocess $γ+γ^{*} \to q +\bar{q}$, symmetrized under exchange $μ_R^2 \leftrightarrow \barμ_R^2$ important for exclusive processes containing two external photons. In the computations the pion model distribution amplitudes (DA's) with one and two non-asymptotic terms are employed. The obtained predictions are compared with the CLEO data and constraints on the DA parameters $b_2(μ_0^2)$ and $b_4(μ_0^2)$ at the normalization point $μ_0^2=1 GeV^2$ are extracted. Further restrictions on the pion DA's are deduced from the experimental data on the electromagnetic FF $F_π(Q^2)$.

title: Genetic mapping in the dog towards localising the genes responsible for progressive retinal atrophy in miniature long-haired dachshunds and Labrador retrievers
Creators: name: Ryder, Edward James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: The current linkage map of the domestic dog Canis familiaris is poorly defined with few linkage groups and few markers physically assigned to chromosomes. To expand the canine linkage map, 33 microsatellite markers were typed on to the DogMap reference families. Ten new linkage groups were established (designated L8, L13, L16, L20, L21, L22, L23, L24, L25 and L26), and one marker was added to linkage group L5. The new linkage groups cover a potential 332cM; approximately 11% of the canine genome. Progressive retinal atrophies are hereditary retinal degenerations which lead to loss of vision, and are a major problem in pedigree dogs. The disease was studied in two breeds; miniature long-haired dachshunds and Labrador retrievers.
 Due to the lack of a complete canine genetic linkage map, the approach taken was to type random markers on to resource pedigrees segregating the disease allele. Markers were provisionally screened on three affected individuals and ranked for the number of homozygotes present. Three carriers were also typed to evaluate marker polymorphism. Selected markers were then typed on to the whole family and linkage analysis performed. Although no markers were found linked to the PRA locus in Labrador retrievers, marker CPH4 was found linked to the disease locus in miniature long-haired dachshunds at a distance of 4cM. Further studies using published data produced four more linked markers and one linked gene. A subset of markers was used to probe a canine BAG library and the subsequent clones were assigned to chromosomes by FISH, locating the disease locus to CFA 15q23 - q24.1. Radiation hybrid mapping of the region allowed ordering of the markers relative to each other. The interval mapped contains an evolutionary breakpoint between HSA12 and HSA1, although the disease locus could not be unambiguously mapped to a particular human chromosome.

description: This study tries to set a new vision of forestry which can satisfy a sustainable development of forestry of the 21st century, and also discusses the assignments of forestry for realizing the new vision of forestry. The new vision for the 21st century is established as "the construction of a forestry country for the affluent life of the people." Under this catch phrase, three main concepts are included the creation and conservation of sustainable forest ecosystems. forestry and its related industries raised as high technology industries, providing various forest services for abundant people's lives. The results of this study can be used as basic information for directing a long-term forest policy because this study was conducted based on the changes of the environments surrounding forests in the 21st century.
title: Construction and integration of genome maps of domestic dog chromosomes X and 1
Creators: name: Spriggs, Helen Florence
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: This thesis describes an integrated approach to mapping dog chromosomes X and 1. Small-insert libraries in pBluescript were constructed from flow-sorted chromosomes X and 1 from which, microsatellite-containing clones were identified and sequenced. Database searches identified homologies between X derived clones and genes previously characterised in other species.

The physical locations of the microsatellite-containing clones were mapped using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), confirming that the clone libraries were highly enriched for their respective chromosomes (91 % for chromosome X, 86% for chromosome 1). These libraries, and the mapped clones, represent a valuable resource previously unavailable in dog genomics.

 PCR primers were designed from sequences from these libraries, flanking microsatellites for both meiotic linkage and radiation hybrid mapping, and flanking other seqyences for radiation hybrid mapping alone. Primers were also designed from other available sequences mapping to dog chromosomes X and 1.

Chromosome X-derived microsatellites were typed on families from the Cornell reference pedigree, adding 17 markers. Chromosome X and 1 markers were typed using the T72 whole genome radiation hybrid panel (WG-RH). A total of 37 chromosome X-derived markers were mapped to eight WG-RH linkage groups and 18 chromosome 1-derived markers were mapped to five WG-RH linkage groups.

 Use of a common pool of chromosome-specific markers in three distinct mapping methods facilitates integration, producing unified maps for these chromosomes. The FISH and WG-RH data are complementary, the former giving long-range data and absolute locations, the latter providing local relative ordering. When supplemented with the genetic data, integration with pre-existing maps of chromosome X is possible.

The integrated maps reveal strongly conserved synteny between canine and human X chromosomes. The pseudoautosomal region has been further characterised, the putative or actual locations of nine clinically relevant genes have been suggested, and the canine DMD region better defined.

description: Femto-/nanosecond pulse-induced, red and near-infrared absorption is studied in $\mathrm{LiNb}_{1-x}\mathrm{Ta}_{x}\mathrm{O}_3$ (LNT) solid solutions with the goal to probe the intrinsic defect structure via the formation, transport and recombination of optically generated small bound electron polarons with strong coupling to the lattice. As a result, long-lived transients are uncovered for LNT which exceed lifetimes of LN and LT by a factor of up to 100 over the entire range of investigated compositions. At the same time, the starting amplitude varies in the range of $α_\mathrm{li}^0\approx10-100\,\mathrm{m}^{-1}$ as a function of $x$ and exceed the ones of LN and LT by a factor of up to ten. The results are interpreted in the model of three-dimensional small polaron hopping transport considering the simultaneous presence of three different types of small bound polarons, in particular of small electron $\mathrm{Nb}_\mathrm{Li}^{4+}$ and $\mathrm{Ta}_\mathrm{Li}^{4+}$ antisite polarons, and of small electron $\mathrm{Ta}_\mathrm{V}^{4+}$ interstitial polarons. We conclude that the differences between LNT, LN, and LT may point to model systems that consist of one (LN), two (LT) and three (LNT) intrinsic defect centers for electron localization.

description: The paper presents data and observations related to the transition process carrying out in the Serbian economy. It exposes known concepts, efforts and difficulties encountered by the society in attempting to achive the transition results. There is also given a critical review of measures taken to date by the society in terms of implementation of privatization in our country, and estimation of their effects to privatization speed and results. Although there are positive movements in the transition of Serbian economy, it is expected that they could be better and bigger if the Government monetary and fiscal policies were less restrictive. Then, the competitiveness of our economy would also be better, because the foreign exchange policy would be different. With all that, privatization would not be just the bare change of the title, but it would be carried out by introduction of better (modern) technology.

description: We investigate the properties of the mixed-mode (RRd) RR Lyrae (RRL) variables in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy by using $B$- and $V$-band time series collected over twenty-four years. We compare the properties of the RRds in Fornax with those in the Magellanic Clouds and in nearby dSphs, with special focus on Sculptor. We found that the ratio of RRds over the total number of RRLs decreases with metallicity. Typically, dSphs have very few RRds with 0.49$\ltsim P_0 \ltsim $0.53 days, but Fornax fills this period gap in the Petersen diagram (ratio between first overtone over fundamental period versus fundamental period). We also found that the distribution in the Petersen diagram of Fornax RRds is similar to SMC RRds, thus suggesting that their old stars have a similar metallicity distribution. We introduce the Period-Amplitude RatioS (PARS) diagram, a new pulsation diagnostics independent of distance and reddening. We found that LMC RRds in this plane are distributed along a short- and a long-period sequence that we identified as the metal-rich and the metal-poor component. These two groups are also clearly separated in the Petersen and Bailey (luminosity amplitude versus logarithmic period) diagrams. These circumstantial evidence indicates that the two groups have different evolutionary properties. All the pulsation diagnostics adopted in this investigation suggest that old stellar populations in Fornax and Sculptor dSphs underwent different chemical enrichment histories. Fornax RRds are similar to SMC RRds, while Sculptor RRds are more similar to the metal-rich component of the LMC RRds.

description: We use spatially-resolved spectroscopy of a distant giant gravitational arc to test orientation effects on MgII absorption equivalent width (EW) and covering fraction (kappa) in the circumgalactic medium of a foreground star-forming galaxy (G1) at z~0.77. Forty-two spatially-binned arc positions uniformly sample impact parameters (D) to G1 between 10 and 30 kpc and azimuthal angles alpha between 30 and 90 degrees (minor axis). We find an EW-D anti-correlation, akin to that observed statistically in quasar absorber studies, and an apparent correlation of both EW and kappa with alpha, revealing a non-isotropic gas distribution. In line with our previous results on MgII kinematics suggesting the presence of outflows in G1, at minimum a simple 3-D static double-cone model (to represent the trace of bipolar outflows) is required to recreate the EW spatial distribution. The D and alpha values probed by the arc cannot confirm the presence of a disc, but the data highly disfavor a disc alone. Our results support the interpretation that the EW-alpha correlation observed statistically using other extant probes is partly shaped by bipolar metal-rich winds.

description: Long and short gamma-ray bursts are traditionally associated with galactic environments, where circumburst densities are small or moderate (few to hundreds of protons per cubic cm). However, both are also expected to occur in the disks of Active Galactic Nuclei, where the ambient medium density can be much larger. In this work we study, via semi-analytical methods, the propagation of the GRB outflow, its interaction with the external material, and the ensuing prompt radiation. In particular, we focus on the case in which the external shock develops early in the evolution, at a radius that is smaller than the internal shock one. We find that bursts in such high density environments are likely characterized by a single, long emission episode that is due to the superposition of individual pulses, with a characteristic hard to soft evolution irrespective of the light curve luminosity. While multi-pulse light curves are not impossible, they would require the central engine to go dormant for a long time before re-igniting. In addition, short GRB engines would produce bursts with prompt duration that would exceed the canonical 2 s separation threshold and would likely be incorrectly classified as long events, even though they would not be accompanied by a simultaneous supernova. Finally, these events have a large dynamical efficiency which would produce a bright prompt emission followed by a somewhat dim afterglow.

description: The mental health of teachers impacts the entire school community. However, to our knowledge, the mental health of teachers has not been investigated from multiple lenses. These lenses include research literature, teacher narratives of their lived experiences, human resource professionals interfacing with teachers, and ourselves as research practitioners. We identify current understandings of teacher mental health among teachers and other educational professionals, determine current preventative and support measures available, and suggest recommendations for future research. The following four questions guided our study: How is mental health defined as it relates to teachers and teaching? What mental health concerns commonly affect teachers? What are some opportunities or challenges facing teachers in accessing mental health resources? What does a mentally healthy school look like? We conducted a literature review and in-person interviews with human resource and organization experts to help answer the questions. Our findings suggest specific risk factors, common mental health issues, coping strategies, challenges and opportunities, and administrators’ roles in promoting or harming the mental health of teachers. Our findings demonstrate teacher mental health has implications beyond the individual teacher. It has the potential to impact student achievement, collegial and home relationships, and the entire school community. Our findings suggest a need for specific training teacher and administrator in the areas of mental health literacy, building trusting relationships, identifying psycho-social risk factors, resiliency training, promoting “work/home” balance, and realistic work conditions. Overall, we found there is a need for cooperation and collaboration between management, teachers, and the union in effectively addressing teacher mental health.

description: In more than 140 million approved cases, the coronavirus is still rampant. From December 2019 to December 2020, based on the statistics available in the official databases, this article examines the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry of the E.U. countries. This research, focusing on the face and role of e-tourism or digital economy and information and communication technology, this study has been done. By 2020, more than 1.1 billion tourists and more than $ 1.3 trillion in tourism revenues have been reduced. A statistic is worrying for countries that have made significant investments in this large industry and marginal, a statistic to form thinks tanks for developing countries and lag behind the tourism industry. This article will be more accurate with these concepts and results.

description: Internationally-oriented enterprises have increased their role in the world economy in the last several years, which has had a positive effect as a growing number of economies is accepting international orientation – participation in international business. The processes of integration in the world economy are visible: numerous political barriers are being removed while those referring to economy and administration are getting smaller. There are more joint investments, non-typical arrangements and strategic alliances. There is a greater geographic distribution of business activities among internationally- oriented enterprises.

description: The recent claim by Coburn & Boggs to have detected a very high degree of linear polarization in the prompt emission of GRB 021206 has stimulated interest in how much polarization could arise in gamma-ray bursts from synchrotron emission. Alternatively, as Shaviv & Dar have shown, GRB polarization could be produced by inverse Compton scattering in the point-source limit. We discuss polarization from a fireball that upscatters a soft radiation field. We show that, after the proper angular integration, the residual polarization can be large, in some cases approaching the point-source limit. We discuss the probability of realizing the geometrical conditions in which a large polarization is obtained showing that, for a particularly bright burst as GRB 021206, the detection of polarization at the first attempt in the Compton drag scenario is not unlikely.

description: We demonstrate that the radial magnetic-field component at the outer boundary of the sunspot penumbra is about 550 Mx cm$^{-2}$ independent of the sunspot area and the maximum magnetic field in the umbra. The mean magnetic-field intensity in sunspots grows slightly as the sunspot area increases up to 500 -- 1000 millionth of visual hemisphere (m.v.h.) and may reach about 900 -- 2000 Mx cm$^{-2}$. The total magnetic flux weakly depends on the maximum field strength in a sunspot and is determined by the spottedness, i.e. the sunspot number and the total sunspot area; however, the relation between the total flux and the sunspot area is substantially nonlinear. We suggest an explicit parametrization for this relation. The contribution of the magnetic flux associated with sunspots to the total magnetic flux is small, not achieving more than 20% even at the maximum of the solar activity.

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation instrument for the very high energy gamma-ray astrophysics domain. With its enhanced sensitivity in comparison with the current facilities, CTA is expected to shed light on a varied population of sources. In particular, we will achieve a deeper knowledge of the Crab nebula and pulsar, which are the best characterized pulsar wind nebula and rotation powered pulsar, respectively. We aim at studying the capabilities of CTA regarding these objects through simulations, using the main tools currently in development for the CTA future data analysis: Gammapy and ctools. We conclude that, even using conservative Instrument Response Functions, CTA will be able to resolve many uncertainties regarding the spectrum and morphology of the pulsar and its nebula. The large energy range covered by CTA will allow us to disentangle the nebula spectral shape among different hypotheses, corresponding to different underlying emitting mechanisms. In addition, resolving internal structures (smaller than ~ 0.02 degrees in size) in the nebula and unveiling their location, would provide crucial information about the propagation of particles in the magnetized medium. We used a theoretical asymmetric model to characterise the morphology of the nebula and we showed that if predictions of such morphology exist, for instance as a result of hydrodynamical or magneto-hydrodynamical simulations, it can be directly compared with CTA results. We also tested the capability of CTA to detect periodic radiation from the Crab pulsar obtaining a precise measurement of different light curves shapes.

description: Traditional ferroelectrics undergo thermally-induced phase transitions whereby their structural symmetry increases. The associated higher-symmetry structure is dubbed {\em paraelectric}. Ferroelectric transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers have been recently shown to become paraelectric, but not much has been said of the atomistic configuration of such a phase. As discovered through numerical calculations that include molecular dynamics here, their paraelectricity can only be ascribed to a time average of ferroelectric phases with opposing intrinsic polarizations, whose switching requires macroscopically large areas to slip in unison.

description: A mild and efficient method for the oxidation of N-heteroaromatic compounds to the corresponding N-oxides using H2O2 in the presence of hexaphenyloxodiphosphnium triflate (Hendrickson reagent) in EtOH at room temperature was reported. This methodology presented relatively fast and selective reactions to afford the N-oxides in good yields. The reverse reactions, deoxygenation reactions, were also carried out under the same reaction conditions by KI to produce the tertiary amines.

description: The precise derivation of transit depths from transit light curves is a key component for measuring exoplanet transit spectra, and henceforth for the study of exoplanet atmospheres. However, it is still deeply affected by various kinds of systematic errors and noise. In this paper we propose a new detrending method by reconstructing the stellar flux baseline during transit time. We train a probabilistic Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to predict the next data point of the light curve during the out-of-transit, and use this model to reconstruct a transit-free light curve - i.e. including only the systematics - during the in-transit. By making no assumption about the instrument, and using only the transit ephemeris, this provides a general way to correct the systematics and perform a subsequent transit fit. The name of the proposed model is TLCD-LSTM, standing for Transit Light Curve Detrending LSTM. Here we present the first results on data from six transit observations of HD 189733b with the IRAC camera on board the Spitzer Space Telescope, and discuss some of its possible further applications.

description: Serbia, as well as all other transition economies, are faced with numerous problems: high trade deficit, too public spending, institutional framework that makes it difficult further privatization of social and state sector, insufficient foreign direct investment inflow, low companies` competitiveness as well as many other problems. Each of these problems requires a thorough analysis and a whole range of measures for a successful resolution. However, in this paper the intention is to focus on banks in Serbia, as very important factors of economic growth and development, and to point out the way in which they can improve their business performance and competitiveness. On the Serbian market, there are thirty-four banks, bearing in mind the number of inhabitants in the country and the development of the economy, it can be concluded that competition between banks is extremely sharp, and only banks which are able to attract and retain the most profitable customers will survive in the future. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to point out the Customer Relationship Management-CRM, as a strategy that banks may use in order to increase competitiveness and create long-term relationships with their the most profitable clients. Also in the paper are presented results of research conducted on a sample of banks in Serbia. Findings get insight into to the extent that banks in Serbia are familiar with the Customer Relationship Management, and the level of implementation Customer Relationship Management processes in their business. On the basis of professional literature, positive experiences of foreign companies that successfully implement CRM, as well as the results of the research conducted in the banks in Serbia, it can be concluded what are the basic weaknesses in CRM in the banks in Serbia, what they can do to overcome the problems, and which benefits they can achieve.
