description: We present a protocol to generate and control quantum entanglement between the states of two subsystems (the system ${\cal S}$) by making measurements on a third subsystem (the monitor ${\cal M}$), interacting with ${\cal S}$. For the sake of comparison we consider first an ideal, or instantaneous projective measurement, as postulated by von Neumann. Then we compare it with the more realistic or generalized measurement procedure based on photocounting on ${\cal M}$. Further we consider that the interaction term (between ${\cal S}$ and ${\cal M}$) contains a quantum nondemolition variable of ${\cal S}$ and discuss the possibility and limitations for reconstructing the initial state of ${\cal S}$ from information acquired by photocounting on ${\cal M}$.

description: Mary Pickford was an experimental physiologist who carried out pioneering work on the actions of the hormones (oxytocin and vasopressin [syn. antidiuretic hormone, ADH]) secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, which is part of the brain. She provided understanding of how the secretion of these hormones is controlled to regulate body fluid composition, specifically the maintenance, through actions on the kidneys, of normal osmolarity and Na+ concentration, and hence blood volume and pressure. Using the water-loaded dog model she showed that vasopressin is the only hormone that regulates the excretion of water, by stimulating the kidneys to concentrate urine; she found that oxytocin could stimulate excretion of Na+. She showed that acetylcholine is an excitatory neurotransmitter in the hypothalamus, stimulating the neurons that produce vasopressin to secrete—the first evidence for acetylcholine action in the brain. The principles that Mary established have been extensively confirmed; hence, she was important in the establishment of the concepts and discipline of neuroendocrinology, which is about the bidirectional interactions between hormones and the brain. Using human and animal models, in her later work Mary focused on possible roles of interactions between female sex hormones and vasodilating actions of oxytocin in the perimenopausal problem of ‘hot flashes’ (or ‘hot flushes’) experienced by many women. She faced, but overcame, entrenched gender prejudice during her career; she was the first woman to be elected to the Pharmacological Society, and the first woman appointed to a chair in the Edinburgh Medical School.
title: Addressing Household Indebtedness: Monetary, Fiscal or Macroprudential Policy?

description: In this paper, we build a dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium model with housing and household debt, and compare the effectiveness of monetary policy, housing-related fiscal policy, and macroprudential regulations in reducing household indebtedness. The model features long-term fixed-rate borrowing and lending across two types of households, and differentiates between the flow and the stock of household debt. We use Bayesian methods to estimate parameters related to model dynamics, while level parameters are calibrated to match key ratios in the U.S. data. We find that monetary tightening is able to reduce the stock of real mortgage debt, but leads to an increase in the household debt-toincome ratio. Among the policy tools we consider, tightening in mortgage interest deduction and regulatory loan-to-value (LTV) are the most effective and least costly in reducing household debt, followed by increasing property taxes and monetary tightening. Although mortgage interest deduction is a broader tool than regulatory LTV, and therefore potentially more costly in terms of output loss, it is effective in reducing overall mortgage debt, since its direct reach also extends to home equity loans.
description: Dans cette étude, les auteurs construisent un modèle d’équilibre général dynamique et stochastique intégrant le logement et la dette des ménages, et comparent l’efficacité de diverses mesures (politique monétaire, fiscalité relative au logement et réglementation macroprudentielle) pour réduire l’endettement des ménages. Le modèle incorpore les emprunts et les prêts à taux fixe à long terme se rapportant à deux types de ménages, et établit une distinction entre les flux de crédit et l’encours de la dette. Les auteurs utilisent des méthodes bayésiennes pour estimer les paramètres liés à la dynamique du modèle, et les paramètres de niveau sont calibrés de manière à ce qu’ils correspondent aux ratios clés calculés à partir de données sur l’économie américaine. Ils constatent que le resserrement de la politique monétaire peut induire une baisse de l’encours de la dette hypothécaire réelle, mais entraîner une augmentation du ratio de la dette au revenu des ménages. Parmi les mesures prises en considération, la réduction de la déduction fiscale au titre des intérêts hypothécaires et la diminution du rapport prêt-valeur réglementaire sont les plus efficaces et les moins coûteuses pour faire baisser la dette des ménages, devant l’impôt foncier et le resserrement monétaire. Bien que la réduction de la déduction au titre des intérêts hypothécaires ait une plus grande portée que la diminution du rapport prêt-valeur réglementaire et puisse par conséquent causer des pertes de production plus importantes, il s’agit d’une mesure efficace pour abaisser la dette hypothécaire totale, car elle atteint également les prêts sur la valeur nette d’une maison.

description: This paper presents the actual perception of German citizens regarding the importance of different husbandry aspects. In 2017, an online survey with 2.400 respondents, based on a qualitative pilot study with focus groups, was conducted. Participants discussed about their perception of actual animal husbandry with respect to the design of stables and animal‐related aspects. Using two different ranking procedures, main points of criticism as well as sideshows could be identified for fattening pigs, dairy cattle production and laying hens. The results will contribute to establishing livestock production systems in consensus with citizens’ preferences.

description: We use Far Ultraviolet Spectrocopic Explorer (FUSE) observations to study interstellar absorption along the line of sight to the white dwarf WD1634-573 (d=37.1+/-2.6 pc). Combining our measurement of D I with a measurement of H I from Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer data, we find a D/H ratio toward WD1634-573 of D/H=(1.6+/-0.5)e-5. In contrast, multiplying our measurements of D I/O I=0.035+/-0.006 and D I/N I=0.27+/-0.05 with published mean Galactic ISM gas phase O/H and N/H ratios yields D/H(O)=(1.2+/-0.2)e-5 and D/H(N)=(2.0+/-0.4)e-5, respectively. Note that all uncertainties quoted above are 2 sigma. The inconsistency between D/H(O) and D/H(N) suggests that either the O I/H I and/or the N I/H I ratio toward WD1634-573 must be different from the previously measured average ISM O/H and N/H values. The computation of D/H(N) from D I/N I is more suspect, since the relative N and H ionization states could conceivably vary within the LISM, while the O and H ionization states will be more tightly coupled by charge exchange.

description: Thorium ions exhibit unique nuclear properties with high relevance for testing symmetries of nature, and Paul traps feature an ideal experimental platform for performing high precision quantum logic spectroscopy. Loading of stable or long-lived isotopes is well-established and relies on ionization from an atomic beam. A different approach allows trapping short-lived isotopes available as alpha-decay daughters, which recoil from a thin sample of the precursor nuclide. A prominent example is the short-lived $^{229\text{m}}$Th, populated in a decay of long-lived $^{233}$U. Here, ions are provided by an external source and are decelerated to be available for trapping. Such setups offer the option to trap various isotopes and charge states of thorium. Investigating this complex procedure, we demonstrate the observation of single $^{232}$Th$^+$ ions trapped, embedded into and sympathetically cooled via Coulomb interactions by co-trapped $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ions. Furthermore, we discuss different options for a non-destructive identification of the sympathetically cooled thorium ions in the trap, and describe in detail our chosen experimental method, identifying mass and charge of thorium ions from the positions of calcium ions, as their fluorescence is imaged on a CCD camera. These findings are verified by means of a time-of-flight signal when extracting ions of different mass-to-charge ratio from the Paul trap and steering them into a detector.

description: A successful ground array Radio Frequency (RF)-only self-trigger on 10 high-energy cosmic ray events is demonstrated with 256 dual-polarization antennas of the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Long Wavelength Array (OVRO-LWA). This RF-only capability is predicated on novel techniques for Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) identification and mitigation with an analysis efficiency of 45\% for shower-driven events with a Signal-to-noise ratio $\gtrsim$ 5 against the galactic background noise power of individual antennas. This technique enables more efficient detection of cosmic rays over a wider range of zenith angles than possible via triggers from in-situ particle detectors and can be easily adapted by neutrino experiments relying on RF-only detection. This paper discusses the system design, RFI characterization and mitigation techniques, and initial results from 10 cosmic ray events identified within a 40-hour observing window. A design for a future optimized commensal cosmic-ray detector for the OVRO-LWA is presented, as well as recommendations for developing a similar capability for other experiments -- these designs either reduce data-rate or increase sensitivity by an order of magnitude for many configurations of radio instruments.

description: Nigeria’s current economic plan targets diversification through leveraging the power of the private sector in order to enable and fast‐track business investments and job creation. This paper reports a study of a model of a poultry outgrower scheme ‐ Akwa Prime, used in catalysing private investments in the poultry sector of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The scheme shares the potential of combined strength of the state and that of the private sector in stimulating increased production and integrating of small livestock farmers to the national economy. The study’s specific objectives were to examine the extent of smallholder farmer involvement in contract negotiations including price setting; the role of the key participants, particularly the regulatory function of the state in an out‐grower scheme construct; and the impact of the scheme on socioeconomic improvement of smallholder farmers. This research was conducted with 42 smallholder independent broiler poultry farmers who are registered members of the Akwa Prime outgrower scheme and receiving a range of input support and good production practices aimed at optimization. Findings show a positive impact of the scheme on small independent poultry farmers’ productivity, profitability and survival. Contract negotiations and key participants role were fully documented. Participating farmers were found to have high income and stocking density while the cost of day old chicks and other production inputs provided by the scheme accounted for 99.1% (R2=.991) of the variation in farmers income. This positive change on the bottom line of small independent poultry farmers indicate the prospects for greater deployment of out‐grower model to stimulate agriculture productivity and growth. However, despite some benefits there were major bottlenecks including compromised role of the state, imposed buyback price on farmers and late offtaking of the finished stock. The implication of this finding is that small poultry farmers left alone with their independent business choices may not stimulate much diversification driven by agriculture.

description: We propose a microscopic theory of terahertz (THz) radiation generation on metal gratings under the action of femtosecond laser pulses. In contrast to previous models, only low-frequency currents inside the metal are considered without involving electron emission. The presented model is based on plasmon-enhanced thermal effects and explains the resonant character of optical-to-THz conversion giving an adequate estimation for the full signal energy. Numerical modeling reproduces specific experimental features like delayed character of THz response and low conversion efficiency when the grating depth is too large.

description: Rather than regarding the restriction of current lattice QCD simulations to quark masses that are 5--10 times larger than those observed, we note that this presents a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of QCD. Just as it has been possible to learn a great deal about QCD by treating $N_c$ as a variable, so the study of hadron properties as a function of quark mass is leading us to a much deeper appreciation of hadron structure. As examples we cite recent progress in using the chiral properties of QCD to connect hadron masses, magnetic moments, charge radii and structure functions calculated at large quark masses within lattice QCD with the values observed physically.

description: Crystalline etalons present several advantages with respect to other types of filtergraphs when employed in magnetographs. Specially that they can be tuned by only applying electric fields. However, anisotropic crystalline etalons can also introduce undesired birefringent effects that corrupt the polarization of the incoming light. In particular, uniaxial Fabry-Pérots, such as LiNbO3 etalons, are birefringent when illuminated with an oblique beam. The farther the incidence from the normal, the larger the induced retardance between the two orthogonal polarization states. The application of high-voltages, as well as fabrication defects, can also change the direction of the optical axis of the crystal, introducing birefringence even at normal illumination. Here we obtain analytical expressions for the induced retardance and for the Mueller matrix of uniaxial etalons located in both collimated and telecentric configurations. We also evaluate the polarimetric behavior of Z-cut crystalline etalons with the incident angle, with the orientation of the optical axis, and with the f-number of the incident beam for the telecentric case. We study artificial signals produced in the output Stokes vector in the two configurations. Last, we discuss the polarimetric dependence of the imaging response of the etalon for both collimated and telecentric setups.

description: Essential oils have a high economic value because of their utilities as perfumes, food flavors, and medicinal raw materials. Indonesia is one of the countries producing and exporting essential oils in the world, although the development of Indonesian essential oils industry has not been able to meet global demand. The main problem of Indonesian essential oils marketing is the fluctuating in price. Some research conducted only focus on certain factors that influence the dynamics of Indonesian essential oils prices, but no researches have integrated factors that influence the dynamics. An integrated model, in which all variables that influence the dynamics of Indonesian essential oils prices are illustrated in a relationship between variables, will help policy makers to understand the system better. This research uses a systems dynamic approach, a conceptual framework that has been developed to show various factors that have an impact on fluctuating prices of Indonesian essential oils. A causal loop diagram is developed based on literature review and statistical analysis, while regression analysis is used to validate the framework. The Causal loop diagram illustrates the reciprocal relationship between several variables that affect the dynamics of fluctuating prices of essential oils. This framework can be used as a basis for further research related to the development of the essential oils agro‐industry.

 Comments. The records found for Brazil extend the distribution of this species along the Atlantic Coast of South America. Based on specimens examined, we conclude that in South America the species is not so abundant nor a potential pest as it is in the West Indies and south Florida, where it has been found affecting turf (Buss 2006).

description: Most welfare states Finance social security by insurance contributions and general taxation.
 Some states have distinctively mixed systems with uncapped payroll contributions
 and capped pension benefits which create measurement bias in pre- and post-tax top
 income shares. We propose a decomposition of such systems to separate social insurance
 from implicit wage taxes. In an application to Switzerland, we provide revised
 time series of pre- and post-tax top income shares since the introduction of the Swiss
 Old-age and Survivors' Insurance (OASI) in 1948. The expansion of OASI leads to an
 increasing correction of progressive taxation compared to previous estimates.

description: The effect of oral microbial composition on periodontal health and on systemic health has been, and is being established. The oral microbiome, in turn, can be altered by local and systemic diseases and conditions. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), has been associated with increased acidity in the oral cavity resulting in dental erosion, and controversially a reduced risk of periodontal disease. We hypothesized that presence of GERD was linked to a modified microbial profile in untreated GERD patients and that the use of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) drugs: potent disruptors of gut microbiome, in GERD patients might result in a salivary microbiome that is further distinct. Untreated GERD patients showed multiple differences in salivary microbiome as compared to healthy controls. Taxa found at lower levels related to the presence of GERD not treated by PPI included: Prevotella melaninogenica, Prevotella pallens, Leptotrichia, and Solobacterium moorei and thirteen others. In contrast, GERD patients chronically using PPI showed minimal differences in salivary taxa compared to healthy controls not using PPI.
Anticipated Futures for Modern Rural Economies ‐ a Request for Guidance by Research, Policy and the Business Community
Creators: name: Schiefer, Gerhard
Publisher: name: International Journal on Food System Dynamics
Year: 2019
Subjects: Rural economy, bio‐based economy; value chains; entrepreneurship

description: This paper builds on a review of literature and EU policies for rural development, innovation, entrepreneurship and the bio‐based economy. It provides a basis for conceptualizing modern rural economies dealing with food, biobased value chains, and valorization of ecosystem services regarding future conditions for rural entrepreneurship (including agriculture), remote areas (including those in coastal areas), and urban‐rural integration. It will outline emerging opportunities to promote diversification, shared values, innovation, and resource conservation, and to reach a common understanding of the solutions to set up a “Modern Rural Economy” in different conditions. In general, there are many opportunities for rural development, many of them linked to emerging technologies which reduce the relevance of distance in marketing, sales and many other activity domains and to business opportunities evolving within the bio‐economy and ecosystem services. However, it becomes obvious that the realization of opportunities needs to build on the simultaneous engagement of various stakeholders in business development, research, and public administration. Successful developments require an integrated development approach which combines opportunities into a comprehensive development program.

economic growth

description: This study attempts to evaluate the inter-relationship among two macro variables, namely private investment and GDP growth both in the long and short run with reference to Bosaso economy using a data set of 2020. I try to pinpoint the important determinants of each variable, using the standard econometric techniques. Long run relationship between variables is specified by using method proposed by Johansen and Juselious (1990).Based on the results of the long-run co-integration tests parameters short correction model is used to estimate the short run relationship between thevariables. As expected, growth has a strong positive relationship with public and private

investment; there is evidence of unidirectional causality between real GDP, and private investment.

A general negative theoretical relationship between public and private investment is confirmed in the context of Bosaso economy, i.e. public investment has a crowding-out‖ effect on private investment

 

This is because public investment has primarily been financed in the past through internal and external borrowing. The government revenues collected through taxation has little contribution in promoting public investment.

Overall, the major policy implication of this study is that, given the long run positive impact private investment and public investment on Business Administration, it will be natural to think of supplementary reforms.

description: Many companies are complaining that lean didn’t achieve their long-term goals, and the improvement impact was very short-lived. 7 out of each 10 lean projects fail as companies try to use lean like a toolkit, copying and pasting the techniques without trying to adapt the employee’s culture, manage the improvement process, sustain the results, and develop their leaders. When the Toyota production system was created, the main goal was to remove wastes from the shop floor using some lean techniques and tools. What was not clear is that this required from Toyota a long process of leadership development, and a high commitment to training and coaching their employee. A Failure to achieve and sustain the improvement is a problem of both management and leadership as well as the improper understanding of the human behavior, and the required culture to success.

description: We study Kaluza-Klein cosmology in cuscuton gravity and find an exact solution describing an accelerating 4-dimensional universe with a stable extra dimension. A cuscuton which is a non-dynamical scalar field is responsible for the accelerating expansion and a vector field makes the extra dimensional space stable. Remarkably, the accelerating universe in our model is not exactly de Sitter.

The Epoch of Helium Reionization

description: We study the reionization of Helium II by quasars using a numerical approach that combines 3D radiative transfer calculations with cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Sources producing the ionizing radiation are selected according to an empirical quasar luminosity function and are assigned luminosities according to their intrinsic masses. We present models in which these parameters are varied and examine characteristics of the resultant reionization process that distinguish the various cases. In addition, we extract artificial spectra from the simulations and quantify statistical properties of the spectral features in each model. We find that the most important factor affecting the evolution of He II reionization is the cumulative number of ionizing photons that are produced by the sources. Comparisons between He II opacities measured observationally and those obtained by our analysis reveal that the available ranges in plausible values for the parameters provide enough leeway to provide a satisfactory match. However, one property common to all our calculations is that the epoch of Helium II reionization must have occurred at a redshift between 3 < z < 4. If so, future observational programs will be able to directly trace the details of the ionization history of helium and probe the low density phase of the intergalactic medium during this phase of the evolution of the Universe.

description: We have observed two blank fields of approximately 30 by 23 arcminutes using the William Herschel Telescope. The fields have been studied as part of the CNOC2 survey, and spectroscopic redshifts are available for 1125 galaxies in the two fields. We measured the lensing signal caused by large scale structure, and found that the result is consistent with current, more accurate measurements. We study the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal of three overlapping samples of lenses, and detect a significant signal in all cases. The estimates for the velocity dispersion of an L* galaxy agree well for the various samples. The best fit singular isothermal sphere model to the ensemble averaged tangential distortion around the galaxies with redshifts yields a velocity dispersion of σ_*=130^{+15}_{-17} km/s, in good agreement with other studies. We use a maximum likelihood analysis, where a parameterized mass model is compared to the data, to study the extent of galaxy dark matter halos. Making use of all available data, we find σ_*=111\pm12 km/s (68.3% confidence) for a truncated isothermal sphere model in which all galaxies have the same mass-to-light ratio. The value of the truncation parameter is not constrained that well, and we find s_*=260^{+124}_{-73} h^{-1} kpc (68.3% confidence The galaxy-galaxy lensing analysis allows us to estimate the average mass-to-light ratio of the field, which can be used to estimate Ω_m. The current result, however, depends strongly on the assumed scaling relation for s.
