description: This study identifies the effect of technology shocks on aggregate output using confirmatory factor analysis employed by Griliches, Hall and Pakes (1991). The analysis is based on the assumptions that there are two distinct shocks in an economy, demand and technology shocks, and that the patent data contain additional information on technology shocks. The findings show that, while the patent and R&D data do not contain significant information on technology shocks in the full sample of OECD countries, they do have significant information on these shocks in the G13 countries. The results suggest that, in the G13 countries technology shocks can explain almost all of the unexpected changes in patent stock, half of those in R&D stock and a quarter of the unexpected changes in GDP.

description: Since the 1990s, accelerating economic growth has regained its dominance in the anti poverty strategies. However, the rising tendency of income inequity at the global level and within the countries emphasizes the need to incorporate distributional factors to make the pro-poor growth strategies effective. This paper explores the sources of this surge in income inequality in a developing country context. The paper attempts to estimate an earnings function for Sri Lanka based on the household expenditure survey. The earners are distinguished by ethnicity, gender, sectors of employment, place of residence, education and occupation. One of the significant results of this study is that there was no "ethnic effect" per se on earnings on Sri Lanka. Having seen a significant gender effect in earnings, the paper further attempts to calculate the degree to which this gender difference in earnings represents "discrimination" against women.
The Effect of the Slit Configuration on the H$_2$ 1-0~S(1) to Br$γ$ Line Ratio of Spatially Resolved Planetary Nebulae

description: The H$_2$ 1-0~S(1)/Br$γ$ ratio (R(Br$γ$)) is used in many studies of the molecular content in planetary nebulae (PNe). As these lines are produced in different regions, the slit configuration used in spectroscopic observations may have an important effect on their ratio. In this work, observations and numerical simulations are used to demonstrate and quantify such effect in PNe. The study aims to assist the interpretation of observations and their comparison to models. The analysis shows that observed R(Br$γ$) ratios reach only values up to 0.3 when the slit encompasses the entire nebula. Values higher than that are only obtained when the slit covers a limited region around the H$_2$ peak emission and the Br$γ$ emission is then minimised. The numerical simulations presented show that, when the effect of the slit configuration is taken into account, photoionization models can reproduce the whole range of observed R(Br$γ$) in PNe, as well as the behaviour described above. The argument that shocks are needed to explain the higher values of R(Br$γ$) is thus not valid. Therefore, this ratio is not a good indicator of the H$_2$ excitation mechanism as suggested in the literature.

description: We argue that the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a stupendous opportunity for the Creator of universe our (assuming one exists) to have sent a message to its occupants, using known physics. Our work does not support the Intelligent Design movement in any way whatsoever, but asks, and attempts to answer, the entirely scientific question of what the medium and message might be IF there was actually a message. The medium for the message is unique. We elaborate on this observation, noting that it requires only careful adjustment of the fundamental Lagrangian, but no direct intervention in the subsequent evolution of the universe.

description: We extend the isospectral deformations of Connes, Landi and Dubois-Violette to the case of Riemannian spin manifolds carrying a proper action of the noncompact abelian group $R^l$. Under deformation by a torus action, a standard formula relates Dixmier traces of measurable operators to integrals of functions on the manifold. We show that this relation persists for actions of $R^l$, under mild restrictions on the geometry of the manifold which guarantee the Dixmier traceability of those operators.

description: The sensitivity of direct detection of dark matter (DM) approaches the so-called neutrino floor below which it is hard to disentangle the DM candidate from the background neutrino. In this work we consider the scenario that no DM signals are reported in various DM direct detection experiments and explore whether the collider searches could probe the DM under the neutrino floor. We adopt several simplified models in which the DM candidate couples only to electroweak gauge bosons or leptons in the standard model through high dimensional operators. After including the RGE running effect we investigate constraints from direct detection, indirect detection and collider searches. The collider search can probe a light DM below neutrino floor. Especially, for the effective interaction of $\barχχB_{μν}B^{μν}$, current data of the mono-photon channel at the 13 TeV LHC has already covered entire parameter space of the neutrino floor.

description: Quadrupole radiation of an atom in an arbitrary environment is investigated within classical as well as quantum electrodynamical approaches. Analytical expressions for decay rates are obtained in terms of Green function of Maxwell equations. The equivalence of both approaches is shown. General expressions are applied to analyze the quadrupole decay rate of an atom placed between two half spaces with arbitrary dielectric constant. It is shown that in the case when the atom is close to the surface, the total decay rate is inversely proportional to the fifth power of distance between an atom and a plane interface.

description: We present our experimental investigations on the subject of dynamical nonlinearity-induced instabilities and of nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling between two energy bands in a Rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate in an accelerated periodic potential. These two effects may be considered two different regimes (for small and large acceleration) of the same physical system and studied with the same experimental protocol. Nonlinearity introduces an asymmetry in Landau-Zener tunneling; as a result, tunneling from the ground state to the excited state is enhanced whereas in the opposite direction it is suppressed. When the acceleration is lowered, the condensate exhibits an unstable behaviour due to nonlinearity. We also carried out a full numerical simulation of both regimes integrating the full Gross-Pitaevskii equation; for the Landau-Zener effect we also used a simple two-level model. In both cases we found good agreement with the experimental results.

description: Cooperative extension has prided itself on being the outreach of the land grant university. However, with changes in the structure of the population, the economy, and agriculture in particular, extension has had to change as well. Increasingly, extension service providers are reminded that they cannot be all things to all people. There is also increasing competition from other campus units that feel they have an outreach mission. As traditional base funding sources decline, decisions must be made regarding the role and function of extension within the university system. This paper explores these issues using historical data, reports, and six case studies. The case studies provide insights into the ways different extension services have collaborated and partnered in university outreach. The case studies demonstrate that the role of extension reflects such things as past experiences, the level of support for extension, the administrative structure of extension and the university, and the vision of those within and without the extension system.

description: We study the quantum analog of stirring of water inside a cup using a spoon. This can be regarded as a prototype example for quantum pumping in closed devices. The current in the device is induced by translating a scatterer. Its calculation is done using the Kubo formula approach. The transported charge is expressed as a line integral that encircles chains of Dirac monopoles. For simple systems the results turn out to be counter intuitive: e.g. as we move a small scatterer "forward" the current is induced "backwards". One should realize that the route towards quantum-classical correspondence has to do with "quantum chaos" considerations, and hence assumes greater complexity of the device. We also point out the relation to the familiar $S$ matrix formalism which is used to analyze quantum pumping in open geometries.

description: We present analytical and numerical studies of magnetorotational instabilities occuring in magnetized accretion disks. In these studies we make use of the linearised compressible MHD equations. These calculations are performed for general radially stratified disks in the cylindrical limit. In particular, we investigate the influence of nonvanishing toroidal magnetic field component on the growth rate and oscillation frequency of magnetorotational instabilities in Keplerian disks. We find the persistence of these instabilities in accretion disks close to equipartition. Our calculations show that these eigenmodes become overstable (complex eigenvalue), due to the presence of a toroidal magnetic field component, while their growth rate reduces slightly. Furthermore, we demonstrate the presence of magneto-rotational overstabilities in weakly magnetized sub-Keplerian rotating disks. We show that the growth rate scales with the rotation frequency of the disk. These eigenmodes also have a nonzero oscillation frequency, due to the presence of the dominant toroidal magnetic field component. The overstable character of the MRI increases as the rotation frequency of the disk decreases.

description: Though there are many challenges facing extension economists, there are significant opportunities to serve rural America and fully participate in our profession. National studies have reconfirmed extension as an integral part of our land grant mission, and a survey of chairs of departments of agricultural and resource economics shows that 87% indicate that there is increased or constant pressure by the public for programming by extension economists. Retirement estimates provided by chairs suggest it is likely that at least one-half of new faculty hired over the next five years will have extension appointments. Perhaps most importantly, there are critical societal issues to which extension economists can make valuable contributions.

description: Land/grant colleges were established to serve the public via a tripartite system of teaching, research, and extension. Agricultural economists have played a key role in this system in meeting agriculture's needs and are expanding this role to better cover the areas of food, natural resources and the environment. The declining economic importance of agriculture and the growing interest in relegating agriculture to free market forces has resulted in declining formula funding for the land grant system, greater emphasis on competitive funding, demands for greater accountability, and demands for a return to greater focus on public service, problem solving, and stakeholder involvement in the definition of research, teaching, and outreach agenda. Simultaneously, the demand for the traditional "agricultural economics" graduate is declining. This paper reviews the current and long-term issues and trends facing agricultural economics departments, explores the futures of their teaching, research, and outreach programs, and highlights the challenges that will be faced as these departments explore new teaching, research, and service opportunities in the areas of food, natural resources, and the environment. The paper concludes by arguing that for forward thinking agricultural economics departments, these pending changes will represent opportunities for better scholarship, more balance, and more effective service.
Supersoft X-Ray Nebulae in the Large Magellanic Cloud

description: Supersoft X-rays sources (SSSs) have been proposed as potential Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors. If such objects are indeed persistently X-ray luminous and embedded in sufficiently dense ISM, they will be surrounded by extended nebular emission. These nebulae should persist even long after a SN Ia explosion, due to the long recombination and cooling times involved. With this in mind, we searched for nebular [O III] emission around four SSSs and three SNRs in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using the 6.5m Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory and the IMACS camera. We confirm that, out of the four SSS candidates, only CAL 83 can be associated with an [O III] nebula. The [O III] luminosity for the other objects are constrained to $\lesssim 17\%$ of that of CAL 83 at 6.8 pc from the central source. Models computed with the photoionization code CLOUDY indicate that either the ISM densities in the environments of CAL 87, RX J0550.0-7151 and RX J0513.9-6951 must be significantly lower than surrounding CAL 83, or the average X-ray luminosities of these sources over the last $\lesssim 10,000$ years must be significantly lower than presently observed, in order to be consistent with the observed luminosity upper limits. For the three SNRs we consider (all with ages $< 1000$ years), our [O III] flux measurements together with the known surrounding ISM densities strongly constrain the ionizing luminosity of their progenitors in the last several thousand years, independent of the progenitor channel.

description: We present results of high time resolution photometry of the eclipsing pre-cataclysmic variable NN Ser. We observed 13 primary eclipses of NN Ser using the high-speed CCD camera ULTRACAM and derived times of mid-eclipse, from fitting of light curve models, with uncertainties as low as 0.06 s. The observed rates of period change appear difficult to reconcile with any models of orbital period change. If the observed period change reflects an angular momentum loss, the average loss rate is consistent with the loss rates (via magnetic stellar wind braking) used in standard models of close binary evolution, which were derived from observations of much more massive cool stars. Observations of low-mass stars such as NN Ser's secondary predict rates of ~100 times lower than we observe. We show that magnetic activity-driven changes in the quadrupole moment of the secondary star (Applegate, 1992) fail to explain the period change by an order of magnitude on energetic grounds, but that a light travel time effect caused by the presence of a third body in a long (~ decades) orbit around the binary could account for the observed changes in the timings of NN Ser's mid-eclipses. We conclude that we have either observed a genuine angular momentum loss for NN Ser, in which case our observations pose serious difficulties for the theory of close binary evolution, or we have detected a previously unseen low-mass companion to the binary.

description: Increasing numbers of freshwater ecosystems have had sportfish consumption advisories posted in recent years. Advisories are sometimes issued in lieu of environmental remediation if they are considered more cost-effective than "cleaning up" the resource, but this approach assumes that anglers adjust behavior in response to the warning. Previous studies, however, suggest that compliance with advisories can be quite low. In contrast, this study measures a statistically significant response by reservoir anglers to consumption advisories. In particular, anglers are less likely to choose to visit a reservoir with an advisory than a similar reservoir without an advisory. Furthermore, the economic losses due to advisories are quantified for anglers in two regions of Tennessee.

description: The interaction of the planting flexibility and conservation compliance provisions from the 1985 and 1990 farm bills was evaluated using an integrated systems model. Results showed that flex and compliance policy in combination reduced net returns and government costs, diluted environmental benefits of conservation compliance, and increased grower responsiveness to market signals, compared with conservation compliance alone. Strict compliance and higher flex levels were the most detrimental to farm income and environmental goals. Decoupling in current and future policy proposals will promote conservation goals. Budgetary reductions in future farm policy could reduce conservation incentives.

description: The duality between partonic and hadronic descriptions of physical phenomena is one of the most remarkable features of strong interaction physics. A classic example of this is in electron-nucleon scattering, in which low-energy cross sections, when averaged over appropriate energy intervals, are found to exhibit the scaling behavior expected from perturbative QCD. We present a comprehensive review of data on structure functions in the resonance region, from which the global and local aspects of duality are quantified, including its flavor, spin and nuclear medium dependence. To interpret the experimental findings, we discuss various theoretical approaches which have been developed to understand the microscopic origins of quark-hadron duality in QCD. Examples from other reactions are used to place duality in a broader context, and future experimental and theoretical challenges are identified.

THE CHANGING RURAL POLICY CONTEXT

Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: A characteristic of our rural policies is that we seem to treat farm policy and other rural policy as if agriculture and the rest of the rural economy and society are separate. Literature from each perspective tends to ignore the existence and context of the other. There has been enough change in the rural context, however, to require a different approach to rural policy analysis and formulation. We must start from a comprehensive view of the rural economy, including both the agricultural and nonagricultural rural economies. The paper discusses issues that have changed the rural policy context: the changed rural economic structure, macro forces, farm-nonfarm interdependence, and the political arena. These changing contexts create new opportunities for rural policy formulation. The paper concludes by suggesting that agricultural economists will contribute more to systematic knowledge and policy formulation if they base analysis on the changed objective conditions in rural areas, and utilize more theoretically-based analysis.

description: We propose an experimentally realizable method to control the coupling between two flux qubits. In our proposal, the bias fluxes are always fixed for these two inductively-coupled qubits. The detuning of these two qubits can be initially chosen to be sufficiently large, so that their initial interbit coupling is almost negligible. When a time-dependent magnetic flux (TDMF) is applied to one of the qubits, a well-chosen frequency of the TDMF can be used to compensate the initial detuning and to couple two qubits. This proposed method avoids fast changes of either qubit frequencies or the amplitudes of the bias magnetic fluxes through the qubit loops, and also offers a remarkable way to implement any logic gate as well as tomographically measure flux qubit states.

Relative timing and significance of folding in the western Skeena Fold Belt, northwestern Bowser Basin, British Columbia : interpretation of structural and seismic reflection data
Creators: name: Bone, Katherine E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The northwestern Bowser Basin overlies Mesozoic units of Stikine Terrane and encompasses deformation of the western Skeena Fold Belt. The region includes a portion of Lithoprobe SNORCLE Line 2A seismic reflection transect. The research has allowed detailed observation of the surface geology to be combined with high quality subsurface information. Folds within the western Skeena Fold Belt are separated into three groups, based on fold trend. Northeast-trending folds are located in select areas through the region and exhibit transected cleavage that is northwest-striking. North- and northwest-trending folds comprise separate fold groups in the area. North-trending folds are observed in the central area of the region and are spatially associated with north- or northwest-striking cleavage. In the majority of cases northwest-trending folds are spatially associated with relatively axial-planar cleavage. The transected nature of folds in this region is interpreted to be the result of a temporal sequence of rotating fold orientation, with initial northeast-trending folds overprinted by north- then northwest-trending folds. This temporal sequence supports the work of Evenchick [2001] within the western Skeena Fold Belt. Seismic reflection data for the area were post-stack migrated to produce a data set highlighting near surface structures. Near surface velocity variations were examined using forward modelling and 2-D tomographic inversion of first-break arrival data. The near surface velocities were used to produce a laterally varying velocity sequence for post-stack migration. Reflection data for the upper eight seconds contains the boundary between the Bowser Basin and Stikine Terrane. The Bowser Basin is observed to have a variable thickness, with the thickest sections caused by the structural stacking of units. The data set also indicates that below the Bowser Basin Stikine Terrane is involved in Skeena Fold Belt deformation, with faulting and overthrusting of Stikine Terrane on Bowser Basin units observable.

description: Velocity effects in first-order Schwarzschild deflection of light and particles have been explored in the previous literature. In this paper, we investigate the roto-translational-motion induced deflection by one moving Kerr black hole with an arbitrary but constant speed. It is shown that the coupling between the effects of the rotation and the translational motion always exists for both light and particles. The contribution of the roto-translational deflection to the total bending angle is discussed in detail. This ratio takes upper limit for light and it decreases monotonically with increasing translational velocity for a massive particle. For a given translational velocity of black hole, this ratio increases with the particle' velocity. In addition, the Post-Newtonian dynamics of the photon and particle is also presented.

description: Factors affecting marketing margins were identified and assessed using a relative price spread technique. Margins were disaggregated into slaughter-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail for a more complete understanding. Marketing costs, concentration, demand, and price were used to explain variations within these margins. Results showed that packer concentration had a significant effect on margins. Forces of supply and demand (as represented by production and market price) and changes in marketing costs also explained the variation in margins. A higher degree of price transmission from slaughter-to-wholesale level was observed in comparison to the wholesale-to-retail level.

description: We construct a minimal content-based realization of the duplication and divergence model of genomic networks introduced by Wagner [A. Wagner, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. {\bf 91}, 4387 (1994)] and investigate the scaling properties of the directed degree distribution and clustering coefficient. We find that the content based network exhibits crossover between two scaling regimes, with log-periodic oscillations for large degrees. These features are not present in the original gene duplication model, but inherent in the content based model of Balcan and Erzan. The scaling exponents $γ_1$ and $γ_2=γ_1-1/2$ of the Balcan-Erzan model turn out to be robust under duplication and point mutations, but get modified in the presence of splitting and merging of strings. The clustering coefficient as a function of the degree, $C(d)$, is found, for the Balcan-Erzan model, to behave in a way qualitatively similar to the out-degree distribution, however with a very small exponent $α_1= 1-γ_1$ and an envelope for the oscillatory part, which is essentially flat, thus $α_2= 0$. Under duplication and mutations including splitting and merging of strings, $C(d)$ is found to decay exponentially.

description: We present the results of a single-pointing survey of 207 dense cores embedded in Planck Galactic Cold Clumps distributed in five different environments ($λ$ Orionis, Orion A, B, Galactic plane, and high latitudes) to identify dense cores on the verge of star formation for the study of the initial conditions of star formation. We observed these cores in eight molecular lines at 76-94 GHz using the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. We find that early-type molecules (e.g., CCS) have low detection rates and that late-type molecules (e.g., N$_2$H$^+$, c-C$_3$H$_2$) and deuterated molecules (e.g., N$_2$D$^+$, DNC) have high detection rates, suggesting that most of the cores are chemically evolved. The deuterium fraction (D/H) is found to decrease with increasing distance, indicating that it suffers from differential beam dilution between the D/H pair of lines for distant cores ($>$1 kpc). For $λ$ Orionis, Orion A, and B located at similar distances, D/H is not significantly different, suggesting that there is no systematic difference in the observed chemical properties among these three regions. We identify at least eight high D/H cores in the Orion region and two at high latitudes, which are most likely to be close to the onset of star formation. There is no clear evidence of the evolutionary change in turbulence during the starless phase, suggesting that the dissipation of turbulence is not a major mechanism for the beginning of star formation as judged from observations with a beam size of 0.04 pc.

description: In a recent paper, the authors have proved that for lattices A and B with zero, the isomorphism $Conc(A \otimes B)\cong Conc A \otimes Conc B$, holds, provided that the tensor product satisﬁes a very natural condition (of being capped) implying that $A\otimes B$ is a lattice. In general, $A \otimes B$ is not a lattice; for instance, we proved that $M\_3\otimes F(3)$ is not a lattice. In this paper, we introduce a new lattice construction, the box product for arbitrary lattices. The tensor product construction for complete lattices introduced by G. N. Raney in 1960 and by R. Wille in 1985 and the tensor product construction of A. Fraser in 1978 for semilattices bear some formal resemblance to the new construction. For lattices A and B, while their tensor product $A\otimes B$ (as semilattices) is not always a lattice, the box product, $A \bp B$, is always a lattice. Furthermore, the box product and some of its ideals behave like an improved tensor product. For example, if A and B are lattices with unit, then the isomorphism $Conc(A $\bp$ B) \cong Conc A \otimes Conc B$ holds. There are analogous results for lattices A and B with zero and for a bounded lattice A and an arbitrary lattice B. A join-semilattice S with zero is called {0}-representable, if there exists a lattice L with zero such that $Conc L \cong S$. The above isomorphism results yield the following consequence: The tensor product of two {0}-representable semilattices is {0}-representable.

description: An equilibrium-displacement model is combined with econometric estimates of key model parameters to identify the impacts of Canada's dairy advertising programs on prices and quantity. Results suggest increased advertising of fluid milk enhances the farm value of milk but has minimal effect on government costs of the dairy price-support program. Owing to government intervention in the butter market, increased butter advertising has no effect on the farm value of milk, at least in the short run, but is highly effective at reducing government costs. Advertising is most effective, ceteris paribus, in markets where retail demand and wholesale supply for the specific dairy product are relatively price inelastic.

Optimal testing of equivalence hypotheses

description: In this paper we consider the construction of optimal tests of equivalence hypotheses. Specifically, assume X_1,..., X_n are i.i.d. with distribution P_θ, with θ\in R^k. Let g(θ) be some real-valued parameter of interest. The null hypothesis asserts g(θ)\notin (a,b) versus the alternative g(θ)\in (a,b). For example, such hypotheses occur in bioequivalence studies where one may wish to show two drugs, a brand name and a proposed generic version, have the same therapeutic effect. Little optimal theory is available for such testing problems, and it is the purpose of this paper to provide an asymptotic optimality theory. Thus, we provide asymptotic upper bounds for what is achievable, as well as asymptotically uniformly most powerful test constructions that attain the bounds. The asymptotic theory is based on Le Cam's notion of asymptotically normal experiments. In order to approximate a general problem by a limiting normal problem, a UMP equivalence test is obtained for testing the mean of a multivariate normal mean.

description: We investigate the connection between collisionless equilibria and the phase-space relation between density $ρ$ and velocity dispersion $σ$ found in simulations of dark matter halo formation, $F=\psd \propto r^{-α}$. Understanding this relation will shed light on the physics relevant to collisionless collapse and on the subsequent structures formed. We show that empirical density profiles that provide good fits to N-body halos also happen to have nearly scale-free \psd distributions when in equilibrium. We have also done a preliminary investigation of variables other than $r$ that may match or supercede the correlation with $F$. In the same vein, we show that $ρ/σ^m$, where $m=3$ is the most appropriate combination to use in discussions of the power-law relationship. Since the mechanical equilibrium condition that characterizes the final systems does not by itself lead to power-law $F$ distributions, our findings prompt us to posit that dynamical collapse processes (such as violent relaxation) are responsible for the radial power-law nature of the \psd distributions of virialized systems.

description: Food stamp participation increased the value of food consumed by the household but had no significant effect on nutrient intake of the 8-12 year old child. Liquid assets increased the value of food consumed for eligible non-stamp recipients but had little effect on participants' food consumption. Physiological need levels were higher for food stamp recipients than for nonrecipients. This need level was positively related to value of food consumption. An important implication of the results is that issuance of only bonus stamps may decrease the demand for food.
