description: The agricultural transition in Central and Eastern Europe and the former USSR reflects a fundamental change in development strategy, and will have a profound impact on agricultural trade. The greatest impact will be indirect, through agriculture's contribution to general economic reform and acceleration of regional and global growth. The direct impact on trade in food and fiber will in aggregate consist of a fall in net imports. Most of the decline in net imports will derive from reduction in demand and improved utilization. Potential for productivity increase is substantial, but not all of the increased productivity will be reflected in the traditional supply response of increased production. Instead marginal resources will shift out of farming, and producers will restructure and adopt new technologies in pursuit of lower costs. Shifts in the commodity composition of trade will occur, and the changes in grain and livestock markets will be greatest. If the reform is successful, the former Soviet Union could become a modest net grain exporter instead of a large importer. Wheat would be the leading export grain, and levels of wheat exports and corn imports could become quite sensitive to relative prices on world markets.

description: The rapidly increasing number of 2-dimensional (2D) materials that have been isolated or synthesized provides an enormous opportunity to realize new device functionalities. Whereas their optical and electrical characterization have been more readily reported, quantitative thermal characterization is more challenging due to the difficulties with localizing heat flow. Optical pump-probe techniques that are well-established for the study of bulk materials or thin-films have limited sensitivity to in-plane heat transport, and the characterization of the thermal anisotropy that is common in 2D materials is therefore challenging. Here we present a new approach to quantify the thermal properties based on the magneto-optical Kerr effect that yields quantitative insight into cross-plane and in-plane heat transport. The use of a very thin magnetic material as heater/thermometer increases in-plane thermal gradients without complicating the data analysis in spite of the layer being optically semi-transparent. The approach has the added benefit that it does not require the sample to be suspended, providing insight of thermal transport in supported, device-like environments. We apply this approach to measure the thermal properties of a range of 2D materials which are of interest for device applications, including single layer graphene, few-layer h-BN, single and few layer MoS2, and bulk MoSe2 crystal. The measured thermal properties will have important implications for thermal management in device applications.

description: Over the past years, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) released to the public domain several databases, with the main objectives of collecting and storing hazard data on the substances considered in EFSA’s risk assessment and secondly to serve as a basis for further development of in silico tools such as quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models. In this work, we evaluated the ability of freely available QSAR models to estimate genotoxicity and carcinogenicity properties and their possible use for screening purposes on three different EFSA’s databases. With an accuracy close to 90%, the results showed good capabilities of QSAR models to predict genotoxicity in terms of bacterial reverse mutation test, while statistics for in vivo micronucleus test are not satisfactory (accuracy in the predictions close to 50%). Interestingly, results on the carcinogenicity assessment showed an accuracy in prediction close to 70% for the best models. In addition, an example of the potential application of in silico models is presented in order to provide a preliminary screening of genotoxicity properties of botanicals intended for use as food supplements.

description: While both Malthus and Ricardo viewed agriculture as impediments to economic progress, Mill and Marshall argued that the effects of diminishing returns to land could be offset. Mill emphasized that the progress of civilization, such as roads that reduced the cost of bringing products to market, and policy improvements, such as abolition of the corn laws, provided substitutes for farm inputs. Marshall argued that population growth could for a long time, through growth of organization and knowledge, offset the effects of diminishing returns. Had the insights of Colin Clark dominated the policies of developing countries rather than the implications drawn from the dual sector models and the pessimistic views of Prebisch, agriculture's contribution to economic development would have been enhanced. The efforts to tax agriculture to support import substitution policies reduced rather than increased economic growth. Agriculture has important contributions to make to economic development, but must receive even handed treatment if the possible contributions are to be realized. A major failure of all governments has been the unwillingness to recognize that agriculture is a declining industry and to adopt policies that would assist farm people to adjust to the decline in demand for farm labor.

description: Countries in sub-Saharan Africa have experienced growth in gross domestic product (GDP) averaging 5% per annum over the last ten years. It is a growth rate that outstrips that of many other countries except some in South-East Asia, but unlike in Asian countries the growth has not translated into employment. Very large numbers of young people across Africa hope to enter the workforce with salaried jobs and career prospects, but though jobs have increased it has been at too slow a rate to absorb these people. This is ‘the Africa challenge’, and it could lead to increasing social tension unless growth can create jobs soon based on the economic advantages that have flowed from Africa’s wealth of natural resources. One solution is for African countries to strengthen their existing local economic fabric, such as by focusing support on small to medium-size firms and farms. Structural transformation in Africa cannot rely only on traditional job creation or direct foreign investment: too many thousands of people need work. Mineral and agricultural resources in Africa are actually underdeveloped in comparison to similarly resource-rich countries in other continents which have invested more heavily in exploration and export initiatives. African economies should encourage diverse primary production activities, to take advantage of their resource wealth without becoming dependent on a dominant natural resource: for example, by developing new plant and animal industries as well as mining, and by cross-investment and using revenue to create strong secondary and tertiary sectors. Industrial development needs wellstructured public services and business environments which can support mining and agriculture as well as manufacturing and knowledge industries. Such development may require more fiscal revenue as a percentage of GDP than may be available. Government investment in development projects to build local capacity, with or without contributions from foreign mining companies, will have social, environmental and economic implications.

description: The perturbative approach to the description of long wavelength excitations at high temperature breaks down near the critical point of a second order phase transition. We study the \emph{dynamics} of these excitations in a relativistic scalar field theory at and near the critical point via a renormalization group approach at high temperature and an $ε$ expansion in $d=5-ε$ space-time dimensions. The long wavelength physics is determined by a non-trivial fixed point of the renormalization group. At the critical point we find that the dispersion relation and width of quasiparticles of momentum $p$ is $ω_p \sim p^{z}$ and $Γ_p \sim (z-1) ω_p$ respectively, the group velocity of quasiparticles $v_g \sim p^{z-1}$ vanishes in the long wavelength limit at the critical point. Away from the critical point for $T\gtrsim T_c$ we find $ω_p \sim ξ^{-z}[1+(p ξ)^{2z}]^{1/2}$ and $Γ_p \sim (z-1) ω_p \frac{(p ξ)^{2z}}{1+(p ξ)^{2z}}$ with $ξ$ the finite temperature correlation length $ ξ\propto |T-T_c|^{-ν}$. The new \emph{dynamical} exponent $z$ results from anisotropic renormalization in the spatial and time directions. For a theory with O(N) symmetry we find $z=1+ ε \frac{N+2}{(N+8)^2}+\mathcal{O}(ε^2)$. Critical slowing down, i.e, a vanishing width in the long-wavelength limit, and the validity of the quasiparticle picture emerge naturally from this analysis.

description: Mining companies’ main business is to focus on their core expertise — best-practice mining development and operation. Resolute Mining Limited has over two decades of expertise, and is one of the largest gold producers listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. In Africa we mine, or have mined, in Mali, Tanzania and Ghana, and have explored in Côte d’Ivoire. We have an underground operation at Ravenswood in Queensland. Mining companies often need to focus on community development in the region of a mine because that forms a key plank of harmonious operations, and Resolute has a strong history in this respect also. Agriculture is only one of the important components in partnering with communities. Health and education are other examples of community development that can be advanced through mining company inputs, both in the local area and via taxes and royalties to the country’s government. There are multiple opportunities for mining companies in Africa, depending on the country and area of operation. Although it takes persistence and effort to be successful with these opportunities, mining companies offer a cost-effective platform for others to continue and build on.

description: A numerical method is developed to efficiently calculate the stress (and displacement) field in finite 2D rectangular media. The solution is expanded on a function basis with elements that satisfy the Navier-Cauchy equation. The obtained solution approximates the boundary conditions with their finite Fourier series. The method is capable to handle Dirichlet, Neumann and mixed boundary value problems as well and it was found to converge exponentially fast to the analytical solution with respect to the size of the basis. Possible application in discrete dislocation dynamics simulations is discussed and compared to the widely used finite element methods: it was found that the new method is superior in terms of computational complexity.

description: Can agriculture and mining work together to improve food security? How can policy, investment and research provide for benefits? Agriculture and mining rely on similar inputs, outputs and externalities. In both Africa and Australia the relationship between the two industries can be symbioitic or competitive, depending on the situation. Mining makes profits from its mined products. Agriculture also needs mined products such as potash for soil improvement. Mining requires upgraded or new infrastructure, for transport and export, and may open up new areas, and these can benefit agriculture and other aspects of a country’s economic development. Mining uses less land and leads to less degradation of water and land than does agriculture, but both do good if done well. In terms of corporate social responsibility, mining companies have to answer to shareholders. Nevertheless, there is evidence that multiplier effects improve income and employment opportunities in the regions around mines. However, Africa is challenged by non-inclusive growth despite resource development. There are perceptions in society and the media that mining takes rather than giving back, although there is evidence of the reverse. It is recommended that the huge knowledge gaps around mining and its nexus with agriculture be tackled through research into the true impacts of mining on food production and poverty. There is an urgent need to build better awareness of the realities, and to engage with affected communities.

description: Most materials exhibit positive Poisson's ratio (PR) values but special structures can also present negative and, even rarer, zero (or close to zero) PR. Null PR structures have received much attention due to their unusual properties and potential applications in different fields, such as aeronautics and bio-engineering. Here, we present a new and simple near-zero PR 2D topological model based on a structural block composed of two smooth and rigid bars connected by a soft membrane or spring. It is not based on re-entrant or honeycomb-like configurations, which have been the basis of many null or quasi-null PR models. Our topological model was 3D printed and the experimentally obtained PR was$-0.003\,\pm 0.001\,$, which is one the closest to zero value ever reported. This topological model can be easily extended to 3D systems and with compression in any direction. The advantages and disadvantages of these models are also addressed.

Models of the Morphology, Kinematics, and Star Formation History of the Prototypical Collisional Starburst System: NGC 7714/7715 = Arp 284

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: (abridged) We present new N-body, hydrodynamical simulations of the interaction between the starburst galaxy NGC 7714 and its post-starburst companion NGC 7715, focusing on the formation of the collisional features, including: 1) the gas-rich star forming bridge, 2) the large gaseous loop (and stellar tails) to the west of the system, 3) the very extended HI tail to the west and north of NGC 7714, and 4) the partial stellar ring in NGC 7714. Our simulations confirm the results of earlier work that an off-center inclined collision between two disk galaxies is almost certainly responsible for the peculiar morphologies of this system. However, we have explored a wider set of initial galaxy and collisional encounter parameters than previously, and have found a relatively narrow range of parameters that reproduce all the major morphologies of this system. The simulations suggest specific mechanisms for the development of several unusual structures. We find that the complex gas bridge has up to four distinct components, with gas contributed from two sides of NGC 7715, as well as from NGC 7714. The observed gas-star offset in this bridge is accounted for in the simulations by the dissipative evolution of the gas. The models also indicate that the low surface brightness HI tail to the far west of NGC 7714 is the end of the NGC 7715 countertail, curved behind the two galaxies. Spectral evolutionary models of the NGC 7714 core by Lançon et al. suggest the possibility of multiple starbursts in the last 300 Myr. Our hydrodynamic models suggest that bursts could be triggered by induced ring-like waves, and a post-collision buildup of gas in the core of the galaxy.

Agriculture and mining in the Beira Corridor

description: The Beira Corridor of Mozambique is a natural transport corridor between the coast and neighbouring inland countries in the region. It is rich in resources, with very large reserves of coal and agricultural land. More than half (60%) of the Tete region in the corridor is reserved for mining, with two large international companies already operating there. These are expected to develop road, rail and ports in the region, besides employing thousands of workers, though that number will drop considerably when construction is complete. The companies have already resettled hundreds of local people, mainly subsistence farmers, to free up the land for mining. The miners need also to provide houses and social amenities to these displaced people. At present, neighbouring countries produce the food for the companies’ employees involved in the mining operations, and there is not always enough. While the mining companies see this as a procurement problem, our institution, the Beira Agricultural Growth Corridor (BAGC), considers that long-term development of agriculture in the region would be a valuable solution. The BAGC is stimulating linkages between mining and agriculture by structuring demand and developing supply chains involving local producers. It is clear that mining offers opportunities for agriculture via improved infrastructure, and the mining companies’ need for food gives local farmers a nearby market, especially during the construction phase. The role of the BAGC is to create incentives for local sourcing, and to develop core investment in local agricultural development.

description: Constantinides et al (2013) put forward a number of empirical findings regarding leverage adjusted S&P 500 index option returns. Their findings are puzzling in the context of the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Experimental evidence as well as the opinions of experienced market professionals indicate that call options are valued in analogy with the underlying stock. In this article, the implications of such analogy making for option pricing are explored, and the resulting analogy based option pricing model is put forward. In a one period binomial setting, I show the conditions under which arbitrage profits cannot be made against the analogy makers ensuring their survival. I show that the analogy model is consistent with the empirical findings in Constantinides et al (2013). Furthermore, the analogy model generates the implied volatility skew. Two predictions of the analogy model are also empirically tested and are found to be strongly supported in the data.

description: Experimental conductance histograms built from several thousand successive breakings of sodium nanowires exhibit peaks up to rather high conductance values (100 x 2e^2/h). In this paper, we present results from a disordered free-electron model of a metallic nanowire, which was previously successful in describing both conductance histograms and shot noise measurements in gold nanocontacts with much lower conductances. We find in particular that, with a modification of the model of disorder, the conductance histogram can be understood as an interplay of conductance quantization and disorder for low conductances (G < 10 x 2e^2/h), while peaks corresponding to higher conductance are actually a combination of several ``quantized conductance peaks''. We also predict a saturation of the shot noise at high conductance to about 1/10 of its classical value 2eI.

description: The Drought Management Plans (DMPs) are a regulatory instrument that establishes priorities among the different water uses and defines more stringent constraints to access to publicly provided water during droughts, especially for non-priority uses such as agriculture. These plans have recently become widespread across EU southern basins. Shockingly, in some of these basins the plans were approved without an assessment of the potential impacts that they may have over the economic activities exposed to water restrictions. This paper develops a stochastic methodology to estimate the expected water availability in agriculture that results from the decision rules of the recently approved DMPs. The methodology is applied to the particular case of the Guadalquivir River Basin in southern Spain. Results show that if the DMPs are successfully enforced, available water will satisfy in average 62.2% of the annual demand. This is much lower than the minimum water access reliability of 90% that the Spanish law has assured to irrigators so far.

description: Based on a sample of 300 million $K_S$ mesons produced in $ϕ\to K_L K_S$ decays recorded by the KLOE experiment at the DA$Φ$NE $e^+e^-$ collider we have measured the branching fraction for the decay $K_S \to πμν$. The $K_S$ mesons are identified by the interaction of $K_L$ mesons in the detector. The $K_S \to πμν$ decays are selected by a boosted decision tree built with kinematic variables and by a time-of-flight measurement. Signal efficiencies are evaluated with data control samples of $K_L \to πμν$ decays. A fit to the reconstructed muon mass distribution finds $7223 \pm 180$ signal events. Normalising to the $K_S \to π^+ π^-$ decay events the result for the branching fraction is $\mathcal{B}(K_S \to πμν) = (4.56 \pm 0.11_{\rm stat} \pm 0.17_{\rm syst})\times10^{-4}$.

description: We consider the linear density response of a two-component (superfluid) Fermi gas of atoms when the perturbation is caused by laser light. We show that various types of laser excitation schemes can be transformed into linear density perturbations, however, a Bragg spectroscopy scheme is needed for transferring energy and momentum into a collective mode. This makes other types of laser probing schemes insensitive for collective excitations and therefore well suited for the detection of the superfluid order parameter. We show that for the special case when laser light is coupled between the two components of the Fermi gas, density response is always absent in a homogeneous system.

description: We report on an instability arising when surface gravity waves propagate in a rotating frame. The Stokes drift associated to the uniform wave field, together with global rotation, drives a mean flow in the form of a horizontally invariant Ekman-Stokes spiral. We show that the latter can be subject to an instability that triggers the appearance of an additional horizontally-structured cellular flow. We determine the instability threshold numerically, in terms of the Rossby number Ro associated to the Stokes drift of the waves and the Ekman number E. We confirm the numerical results through asymptotic expansions at both large and low Ekman number. At large E the instability reduces to that of a standard Ekman spiral driven by the wave-induced surface stress instead of a wind stress, while at low E the Stokes-drift profile crucially determines the shape of the unstable mode. In both limits the instability threshold asymptotes to an Ekman-number-independent critical Rossby number, which in both cases also corresponds to a critical Reynolds number associated to the Lagrangian base-flow velocity profile. Parameter values typical of ocean swell fall into the low-E unstable regime: the corresponding "anti-Stokes" flows are unstable, with possible consequences for particle dispersion and mixing.

description: The idea that the shocks from supernova remnants (SNR) expanding into the interstellar medium (ISM) accelerate CR is still popular one but a number of authors have drawn attention to the fact that the experimental evidence for the presence of gamma rays from the expected interaction of CR with gas in the remnant is poor. Indeed, it is claimed that many SNR are not `seen' in GeV or TeV gamma rays, whereas `they should have been'. We have looked at this problem and we conclude that the idea of CR production in SNR cannot be faulted in this way, if the evacuation of ambient gas by the stellar wind of the progenitor star and, frequently, by associated earlier close-by SN, is taken into account; such phenomena are expected for the important Type II SN which result from very massive stars. Other SNR have, apparently, been seen and the interaction of SNR-accelerated particles with adjacent molecular clouds has been deemed responsible. However, we worry about this interpretation because of the slow progress of the SNR shock through such clouds, although electron-effects may, indeed, contribute. This paper is devoted mainly to the visibility of nearby SNR in gamma rays although many of the arguments also relate to remote SNR. For the nearby SNR another problem enters the scene: the large angular spread of the remnant. It is especially important for the old SNR, where cosmic rays have already diffused to a large distance from the SNR center. We have also examined the effect of the 'anomalous diffusion' of CR propagation in the non-homogeneous interstellar medium on the visibility of SNR for gamma rays of different energies.

description: Transorchestia Bousfield, 1982
 Transorchestia Bousfield, 1982: 19.
 Type species. Orchestia chiliensis Milne-Edwards, 1840.
 Diagnosis. Antenna 2 not geniculate, sexually dimorphic. Mandible left lacinia mobilis 4-dentate. Maxillipedal palp dactylus present, reduced. Gnathopod 2 subchelate; basis slightly or strongly expanded; propodus palm posterodistal corner without protuberance. Pereopods 3–7 cuspidactylate. Pereopod 4 carpus significantly shorter than carpus of pereopod 3. Pereopods 6–7 sexually dimorphic. Pereopod 7 basis lateral sulcus present, slightly pronounced. Gills lobate and/or convoluted; gills 3–5 smaller than gills 2 and 6. Oostegites 2–5 setae curl-tipped. Pleopods all well developed. Uropods 1–2 outer rami with marginal robust setae. Telson longer than broad with more than 10 robust setae per lobe.
 Species composition. Transorchestia contains 7 species: T.?bollonsi (Chilton, 1909); T. chiliensis (Milne Edwards, 1840); T. enigmatica (Bousfield & Carlton, 1967); T. gracilis (Chilton, 1920); T. marlo n.sp.; T. miranda (Chilton, 1916); and T. serrulata (Dana, 1852).
 Remarks. Hurley (1957) considered that T. chiliensis occurred in New Zealand and included Orchestia serrulata Dana, 1852, also described from New Zealand, as its junior synonym. Bousfield (1982) redescribed T. chiliensis based on material from Chile and stated that Hurley’s material from New Zealand was not T. chiliensis. Based on the opinion of Bousfield (1982) and our own assessment of Hurley’s (1957) description we reject T. chiliensis from New Zealand and replace it with the next available name, Transorchestia serrulata (Dana, 1852). Hurley designated as hypotypes: slides No. 19, male; female, Quail Island, Lyttelton, 10 October 1903, in the Chilton collection, Canterbury Museum. We here designate the male as a neotype of Transorchestia serrulata (Dana, 1852).

description: Miniaturisation is an important evolutionary trend for amphibians and has occurred several times in independent anuran lineages. Most miniaturised frogs live in the leaf litter of tropical forests and have terrestrial reproductive modes. They are expected to have reduced fecundity in number of eggs than larger-bodied related species, but little is known about reproductive cycles and proportion of reproductive females. Lower vagility is also assumed, however, as they are difficult to observe, there is little empirical evidence about their dispersal. We studied the reproductive biology (sex ratio, sexual size dimorphism and fecundity parameters) and population ecology (growth, dispersal, and phenology) of the miniature Guanabara Frog Euparkerella aff. brasiliensis (≤20 mm). We collected and analysed 75 specimens of E. aff. brasiliensis, of which 27 were adult females with vitellogenic oocytes in their ovaries. Fecundity was low for number of eggs (average number = 9.7), but only one adult female had no vitellogenic oocytes. Sex ratio was relatively balanced among sexes, being female-biased (0.92) for all individuals and male-biased (1.17) for adults. Juveniles and ovigerous females were observed throughout the year during the two years of mark-recapture study, which indicates continuous breeding. We captured 121 individuals, of which 12% were recaptured in their original collection sites, suggesting low vagility. We discuss our findings considering the current knowledge about the ecology of miniaturised frogs and other Terraranae and suggest future directions for ecological studies and conservation planning.
IEEE 802.15.4.e TSCH-Based Scheduling for Throughput Optimization: A Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandit Approach

description: In TSCH, which is a MAC mechanism set of the IEEE 802.15.4e amendment, calculation, construction, and maintenance of the packet transmission schedules are not defined. Moreover, to ensure optimal throughput, most of the existing scheduling methods are based on the assumption that instantaneous and accurate Channel State Information (CSI) is available. However, due to the inevitable errors in the channel estimation process, this assumption cannot be materialized in many practical scenarios. In this paper, we propose two alternative and realistic approaches. In our first approach, we assume that only the statistical knowledge of CSI is available a priori. Armed with this knowledge, the average packet rate on each link is computed and then, using the results, the throughput-optimal schedule for the assignment of (slot-frame) cells to links can be formulated as a max-weight bipartite matching problem, which can be solved efficiently using the well-known Hungarian algorithm. In the second approach, we assume that no CSI knowledge (even statistical) is available at the design stage. For this zero-knowledge setting, we introduce a machine learning-based algorithm by formally modeling the scheduling problem in terms of a combinatorial multi-armed bandit (CMAB) process. Our CMAB-based scheme is widely applicable to many real operational environments, thanks to its reduced reliance on design-time knowledge. Simulation results show that the average throughput obtained by the statistical CSI-based method is within the margin of 15% from the theoretical upper bound associated with perfect instantaneous CSI. The aforesaid margin is around 18% for our learning-theoretic solution.

description: This paper aims at providing a consistent framework to appraise alternative modeling choices that have driven the so-called “when flexibility" controversy since the early 1990s dealing with the optimal timing of mitigation efforts and the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC). The literature has emphasized the critical impact of modeling structures on the optimal climate policy. But, to our knowledge, there has been no contribution trying to estimate the comparative impact of modeling structures within a unified framework. In this paper, we use the Integrated Assessment Model (IAM) RESPONSE to bridge this gap and investigate the structural modeling drivers of differences in climate policy recommendations. RESPONSE is both sufficiently compact to be easily tractable and detailed enough to capture a wide array of modeling choices. Here, we restrict the analysis to the following emblematic modeling choices: the forms of the damage function (quadratic vs. sigmoid) and the abatement cost (with or without inertia), the treatment of uncertainty, and the decision framework (one-shot vs. sequential). We define an original methodology based on an equivalence criterion to carry out a sensitivity analysis over modeling structures in order to estimate their relative impact on two output variables: the optimal SCC and abatement trajectories. This allows us to exhibit three key findings: (i) IAMs with a quadratic damage function are insensitive to changes of other features of the modeling structure, (ii) IAMs involving a non-convex damage function entail contrasting climate strategies, (iii) Precautionary behaviours can only come up in IAMs with non-convexities in damages.
