description: Variety release decisions involve a number of tradeoffs, usually between grower and end-user characteristics as well as significant uncertainties about agronomic, quality, and economic variables. In this study, methodologies were developed to value tradeoffs for grower and end-user characteristics for wheat. The models capture effects of variability in agronomic, quality, and economic variables. The models were applied for three experimental varieties which have since been released and for two hypothetical varieties. Results indicate two of the experimental varieties provide improvements in grower and end-use value over most of the incumbents. Comparison of a risk adjusted portfolio model consisting of characteristics of end-use and grower values with traditional stochastic dominance techniques (tested for level of significance) indicate similar results. However, the portfolio model incorporates aspects of correlation between grower and end-use values simultaneously.

description: The main objective of the paper is to examine and discuss the nature of technological relationships across agrifood sectors in order to understand better the pattern of technological changes in the Food and Beverage sector. We propose a new estimator to confirm the existence of linkages between technological sectors (the Technological Concentration Index). A central conclusion from this work is that the quality of data is a principal determinant in the measurement of technological flows, and that probably the use of raw patent data could introduce a distortion in the qualification of the consequences of technological spillovers.

The improvement in resolution from 25 arcsec to 10 arcsec resolves the helical- and ring-like features seen at higher frequencies. We also present new high dynamic range images of this powerful radio galaxy at 325 MHz. Our low frequency observations confirm the multiple outburst interpretation of the spectral index differences at high frequencies. Comparison between our radio and ROSAT X-ray data does not reveal any association between the X-ray emission from the cluster and the radio lobes. There are no extra regions of radio emission at 74 MHz.

description: This research focuses on the effect of decoupled payments on labour supply of Dutch dairy farmers. Data availability leads to the fact that we can not estimate structural labour supply equations. We show how to derive reduced form equations suitable for policy simulations. We use the panel data sample selection estimation approach Wooldridge (1995) to estimate the off-farm labour supply equation. This method is based on Mundlak's (1978) linear panel data estimation approach, which we use to estimate the on-farm labour supply equations. Even though, simulations show a significant negative effect of decoupled payments on labour supply, the economic significance of this effect is very limited.

description: Switzerland aims to liberalise the milk market by 2011. This will result in distinctive changes in the basic conditions for agriculture. The impacts of the liberalisation are investigated with a composite model obtained by combining an optimization model for the agricultural sector and a dynamic simulation model for the milk and meat market. The calculations with the composite model indicate that the milk price depends strongly on the phasing out of market support, while the abolition of milk quotas in 2009 is less decisive. An introduction of a dairy cow premium leads to a higher milk production, especially with abolished milk quotas. In this case the European milk price level represents the lower limit for the milk price in Switzerland. Compared to the milk market, with falling quantities meat prices are likely to exhibit a stable development.

description: Structural phase transitions in $f$-electron materials have attracted sustained attention both for practical and basic science reasons, including that they offer an environment to directly investigate relationships between structure and the $f$-state. Here we present results for UCr$_2$Si$_2$, where structural (tetragonal $\rightarrow$ monoclinic) and antiferromagnetic phase transitions are seen at $T_{\rm{S}}$ $=$ 205 K and $T_{\rm{N}}$ $=$ 25 K, respectively. We also provide evidence for an additional second order phase transition at $T_{\rm{X}}$ = 280 K. We show that $T_{\rm{X}}$, $T_{\rm{S}}$, and $T_{\rm{N}}$ respond in distinct ways to the application of hydrostatic pressure and Cr $\rightarrow$ Ru chemical substitution. In particular, hydrostatic compression increases the structural ordering temperature, eventually causes it to merge with $T_{\rm{X}}$ and destroys the antiferromagnetism. In contrast, chemical substitution in the series UCr$_{2-x}$Ru$_x$Si$_2$ suppresses both $T_{\rm{S}}$ and $T_{\rm{N}}$, causing them to approach zero temperature near $x$ $\approx$ 0.16 and 0.08, respectively. The distinct $T-P$ and $T-x$ phase diagrams are related to the evolution of the rigid Cr-Si and Si-Si substructures, where applied pressure semi-uniformly compresses the unit cell and Cr $\rightarrow$ Ru substitution results in uniaxial lattice compression along the tetragonal $c$-axis and an expansion in the $ab$-plane. These results provide insights into an interesting class of strongly correlated quantum materials where degrees of freedom associated with $f$-electron magnetism, strong electronic correlations, and structural instabilities are readily controlled.

description: We report a field-portable and cost-effective imaging flow cytometer that uses deep learning to accurately detect Giardia lamblia cysts in water samples at a volumetric throughput of 100 mL/h. This flow cytometer uses lensfree color holographic imaging to capture and reconstruct phase and intensity images of microscopic objects in a continuously flowing sample, and automatically identifies Giardia Lamblia cysts in real-time without the use of any labels or fluorophores. The imaging flow cytometer is housed in an environmentally-sealed enclosure with dimensions of 19 cm x 19 cm x 16 cm and weighs 1.6 kg. We demonstrate that this portable imaging flow cytometer coupled to a laptop computer can detect and quantify, in real-time, low levels of Giardia contamination (e.g., <10 cysts per 50 mL) in both freshwater and seawater samples. The field-portable and label-free nature of this method has the potential to allow rapid and automated screening of drinking water supplies in resource limited settings in order to detect waterborne parasites and monitor the integrity of the filters used for water treatment.

description: The reform of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) will fundamentally affect the decision behaviour of land users. So far transfer payments were coupled to specific forms of land use. The reform encourages land users to make decisions concerning production based solely on market aspects. The effects of the CAP reform on the Lahn Dill region in Germany are simulated with the spatially explicit land use model ProLand. The results show that land use decisions will be based stronger on site specific natural conditions than was the case in the Agenda 2000 scenario. The transfer payment volume directed into the region increases considerably.
Effective resistances of two dimensional resistor networks

Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: We investigate the behavior of two dimensional resistor networks, with finite sizes and different kinds (rectangular, hexagonal, and triangular) of lattice geometry. We construct the network by having a network-element repeat itself $L_x$ times in $x$-direction and $L_y$ times in the $y$-direction. We study the relationship between the effective resistance ($R_\mathrm{eff}$) of the network on dimensions $L_x$ and $L_y$. The behavior is simple and intuitive for a network with rectangular geometry, however, it becomes non-trivial for other geometries which are solved numerically. We find that $R_\mathrm{eff}$ depends on the ratio $L_x/L_y$ in all the three studied networks. We also check the consistency of our numerical results experimentally for small network sizes.

Large-scale turbulent driving regulates star formation in high-redshift gas-rich galaxies

description: The question of what regulates star formation is a long standing issue. To investigate this issue, we run simulations of a kiloparsec cube section of a galaxy with three kinds of stellar feedback: the formation of HII regions, the explosion of supernovae, and the UV heating. We show that stellar feedback is sufficient to reduce the averaged star formation rate (SFR) to the level of the Schmidt- Kennicutt law in Milky-Way like galaxies but not in high-redshift gas rich galaxies suggesting that another type of support should be added. We investigate whether an external driving of the turbulence such as the one created by the large galactic scales could diminish the SFR at the observed level. Assuming that the Toomre parameter is close to 1 as suggested by the observations, we infer a typical turbulent forcing that we argue should be applied parallel to the plane of the galactic disc. When this forcing is applied in our simulations, the SFR within our simulations closely follows the Schmidt- Kennicutt relation. We found that the velocity dispersion is strongly anisotropic with the velocity dispersion alongside the galactic plane being up to 10 times larger than the perpendicular velocity.

Nine dragons, one river : the role of institutions in developing water pricing policy in Beijing, PRC
Creators: name: Hou, Eve
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Water prices in Beijing have experienced growth over the past few years, but remain "cheap" considering the cost of supply and lack of resources. This paper uncovers the role of institutions (defined by formal aspects such as laws, regulation and policies, government departments and hierarchies, and informal aspects such as history, personal and bureaucratic motivation) in determining and implementing water pricing policy and water price reform. While this paper is primarily descriptive, it is formulated as a multiple criteria decision-making analysis. In determining actors and objectives for this analysis, the institutions surrounding the issue of water pricing are explored to understand and describe their function, the incentives they are influenced by, the goals they aim for, and how these goals fit in the wider context of national priorities. Various alternatives derived from water pricing theory are then tested to determine how well they achieve the goals laid out. Through this process we come to the conclusion that the implementation of higher, market-based water prices is inevitable, given the aims of local and national government alike. Further, the rising of water prices correspond with a change in national ideology from communist, egalitarian principles, to market-based, market socialist principles.
Performance Evaluation of Impulse Radio UWB Systems with Pulse-Based Polarity Randomization

description: In this paper, the performance of a binary phase shift keyed random time-hopping impulse radio system with pulse-based polarity randomization is analyzed. Transmission over frequency-selective channels is considered and the effects of inter-frame interference and multiple access interference on the performance of a generic Rake receiver are investigated for both synchronous and asynchronous systems. Closed form (approximate) expressions for the probability of error that are valid for various Rake combining schemes are derived. The asynchronous system is modelled as a chip-synchronous system with uniformly distributed timing jitter for the transmitted pulses of interfering users. This model allows the analytical technique developed for the synchronous case to be extended to the asynchronous case. An approximate closed-form expression for the probability of bit error, expressed in terms of the autocorrelation function of the transmitted pulse, is derived for the asynchronous case. Then, transmission over an additive white Gaussian noise channel is studied as a special case, and the effects of multiple-access interference is investigated for both synchronous and asynchronous systems. The analysis shows that the chip-synchronous assumption can result in over-estimating the error probability, and the degree of over-estimation mainly depends on the autocorrelation function of the ultra-wideband pulse and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio of the system. Simulations studies support the approximate analysis.

Material examined.
MNHN -IE-2014-165 (holotype). MOM -81 0428. (Suppl. material 1).
Diagnosis.
Arms six. Abactinal disk plate, each with one fairly elongated spine. Pedicellariae absent on abactinal disk. Abactinal arm plates each bears one spine, covered with a membranous sheath loaded with small pedicellariae. Each adambulacral plate with one small aboral furrow spine and one subambulacral spine. Lateral spines corresponding to each adambulacral plate beyond genital area. Oral plate with two actinostomal spines, one suboral spine, and one aboral spine along the furrow margin.
Distribution.
North Atlantic, 4020–5110 m. Type locality: Between the Azores and France, 4060 m.
Remarks.
F. sexradiata is the type species of the genus. The holotype was examined in the present study, which demonstrates the key characters of the species as described by Perrier (1885, 1894), including having abactinal arm plate with one long spine, adambulacral plate with one subambulacral spine and one small aboral furrow spine, oral plate with two actinostomal spines, one suboral spine, and one aboral furrow spine. The arrangement of inferomarginal plates was not described in F. sexradiata (Perrier, 1885, 1894), and the holotype was too broken to be examined for such a character. Based on the drawings in Perrier (1894), the inferomarginal plates appear at each adambulacral plate beyond genital area. Another specimen examined (MOM - 81 0428) also has continuous inferomarginal plates beyond genital area. The photos of the holotype of F. sexradiata are available on the MNHN collection website (holotype: https://science.mnhn.fr/institution/mnhn/collection/ie/item/2014-165).

description: This paper aims to measure the time pattern of multiple and resurgent food scares and their direct and cross-product impacts on consumer response. The Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) is augmented by a flexible stochastic framework which has no need for additional explanatory variables such as a media index. Italian aggregate household data on meat demand is used to assess the time-varying impact of a resurgent BSE crisis (1996 and 2000) and the 1999 Dioxin crisis. The impact of the first BSE crisis on preferences seems to be reabsorbed after a few months. The second wave of the scare at the end of 2000 had a much stronger effect on preferences and the positive shift in chicken demand continued to persist after the onset of the crisis. Empirical results show little relevance of the Dioxin crisis in terms of preference shift, whilst not excluding the more relevant price effect.

description: Basing on a sample of Polish rural households present paper analyses how different households' and country-specific characteristics affect farmers' decision about renting additional parcel in. An attempt is made to see if local rental markets still have potential that could be further exploited.

In compressed LaH$_\textrm{10}$, independent studies report $T$$_\textrm{C}$ of 250 K and over 260 K, a maximum in $T$$_\textrm{C}$ with pressure $P$, and normal-state resistance scaling with temperature (suggesting unconventional pairing). According to reported band structure calculations of $Fm$$\bar{3}$$m$-phase LaH$_\textrm{10}$, the La is anionic, with the chemical valence electrons appearing evenly split between La and H$_\textrm{10}$. Thus, compressed LaH$_\textrm{10}$ contains the combination of structure, charge separation, and optimal balanced allocation of valence electrons for supporting unconventional high-$T$$_\textrm{C}$ superconductivity mediated by Coulomb interactions between electronic charges associated with La and H$_\textrm{10}$. A general expression for the optimal superconducting transition temperature for $M$H$_\textrm{n}$ clathrates is derived as $T$$_\textrm{C0}$ = $k$$_\textrm{B}$$^{-1}$$Λ$[(n + $v$)/2$A$]$^{1/2}$$e$$^{2}$/$ζ$, where $Λ$ is a universal constant, (n + $v$) is the chemical valence sum per formula unit, taking unity for H and $v$ for atom $M$, $A$ is the surface area of the H-polyhedron cage, and $ζ$ is the mean distance between the $M$ site and the centroids of the polyhedron faces. Applied to $Fm$$\bar{3}$$m$ LaH$_\textrm{10}$, $T$$_\textrm{C0}$ values of 249.8(1.3) K and 260.7(2.0) K are found for the two experiments.

description: Aircraft noise exposure is a health risk and there is evidence that noise annoyance partly mediates the association between noise exposure and stress-related health risks. Thus, approaches to reduce annoyance may be beneficial for health. Annoyance is influenced by manifold non-acoustic factors and perceiving a fair and trustful relationship between the airport and its residents may be one of them. The distribution of aircraft noise exposure can be regarded as a fairness dilemma: while residents living near an airport may seem to have some advantages, the majority of residents living under certain flight routes or in their immediate proximity suffer from the disadvantages of the airport, especially the noise. Moreover, a dilemma exists between the airport’s beneficial economic impact for a region and the physical and psychological integrity of residents. Aircraft noise exposure through the lens of social justice research can help to improve our understanding of noise annoyance. Research indicates that the fairness perceptions of the parties involved can be enhanced by (a) improving individual cost–benefit ratios, (b) providing a fair procedure for deciding upon the noise distribution, and (c) implementing fair social interaction with residents. Based on the review of evidence from social justice research, we derive recommendations on how fairness aspects can be integrated into aircraft noise management with the purpose of improving the relationship between the airport and its residents, to reduce annoyance, and to enhance the acceptance of local aviation and the airport as a neighbor.
First results of the search of neutrinoless double beta decay with the NEMO 3 detector

description: The NEMO 3 detector, which has been operating in the Frejus underground laboratory since February 2003, is devoted to the search for neutrinoless double beta decay (bb0nu). Half-lives of the two neutrino double beta decays (bb2nu) have been measured for 100Mo and 82Se. After 389 effective days of data collection from February 2003 until September 2004 (Phase I), no evidence for neutrinoless double beta decay was found from ~7kg of 100Mo and ~1 kg of 82Se. The corresponding lower limits for the half-lives are 4.6 x 10^23 years for 100Mo and 1.0 x10^23 years for 82Se (90% C.L.). Depending on the nuclear matrix elements calculation, limits for the effective Majorana neutrino mass are < 0.7-2.8 eV for 100Mo and < 1.7-4.9 eV for 82Se

description: This paper presents an application of the contingent valuation method (CVM) and choice experiments (CEs). We examine consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for different health risk reduction levels of Salmonellosis and Campylobacteriosis acquired from the consumption of chicken breast. We test for the embedding effect. The embedding effect was not found in the CVM format. It was however present in the CEs. The WTP values in the CVM format rages from Euro 1.29 to 3.34, whereas the WTP obtained by the CEs ranges from Euro -0.16 to Euro 6.68 depending on the disease and the corresponding risk reduction levels.
Entanglement distribution by an arbitrarily inept delivery service

description: We consider the scenario where a company C manufactures in bulk pure entangled pairs of particles, each pair intended for a distinct pair of distant customers. Unfortunately, its delivery service is inept - the probability that any given customer pair receives its intended particles is S, and the customers cannot detect whether an error has occurred. Remarkably, no matter how small S is, it is still possible for C to distribute entanglement by starting with non-maximally entangled pairs. We determine the maximum entanglement distributable for a given S, and also determine the ability of the parties to perform nonlocal tasks with the qubits they receive.

description: The way entitlements are originally allocated among farmers and some conditions required to get the payments could affect farmer's willingness to trade land and entitlements. This paper - using a qualitative approach and some results of a farm based simulation analysis - explores how entitlements availability and other farm specific parameters affect land and entitlement shadow prices and farmers attitude to trade land and entitlement. The conditions under which this occurs, the role of taxing the exchange of entitlements and of both modulation and conditionality on exchange of entitlements are also studied.
Hue-Correction Scheme Considering Non-Linear Camera Response for Multi-Exposure Image Fusion

description: We propose a novel hue-correction scheme for multi-exposure image fusion (MEF). Various MEF methods have so far been studied to generate higher-quality images. However, there are few MEF methods considering hue distortion unlike other fields of image processing, due to a lack of a reference image that has correct hue. In the proposed scheme, we generate an HDR image as a reference for hue correction, from input multi-exposure images. After that, hue distortion in images fused by an MEF method is removed by using hue information of the HDR one, on the basis of the constant-hue plane in the RGB color space. In simulations, the proposed scheme is demonstrated to be effective to correct hue-distortion caused by conventional MEF methods. Experimental results also show that the proposed scheme can generate high-quality images, regardless of exposure conditions of input multi-exposure images.

description: We show the equivalence of the Lorentz-covariant canonical formulation considered for the Immirzi parameter $β=i$ to the selfdual Ashtekar gravity. We also propose to deal with the reality conditions in terms of Dirac brackets derived from the covariant formulation and defined on an extended phase space which involves, besides the selfdual variables, also their anti-selfdual counterparts.

description: The Groebner fan of an ideal $I\subset k[x_1,...,x_n]$, defined by Mora and Robbiano, is a complex of polyhedral cones in $R^n$. The maximal cones of the fan are in bijection with the distinct monomial initial ideals of $I$ as the term order varies. If $I$ is homogeneous the Groebner fan is complete and is the normal fan of the state polytope of $I$. In general the Groebner fan is not complete and therefore not the normal fan of a polytope. We may ask if the restricted Groebner fan, a subdivision of $R_{>=0}^n$, is regular i.e. the normal fan of a polyhedron. The main result of this paper is an example of an ideal in $Q[x_1,...,x_4]$ whose restricted Groebner fan is not regular.

description: It has been recently shown that, under some general conditions, it is always possible to find a fourth order gravity theory capable of reproducing the same dynamics of a given dark energy model. Here, we discuss this approach for a dark energy model with a scalar field evolving under the action of an exponential potential. In absence of matter, such a potential can be recovered from a fourth order theory via a conformal transformation. Including the matter term, the function f(R) entering the generalized gravity Lagrangian can be reconstructed according to the dark energy model.

description: This paper measures linkages between farm and non-farm activities in rural Mexico using a multiplier model based on social accounting matrices (SAMs) from survey data for five villages at differing income levels and in different agro-ecological and market zones. We extend this analysis to a "mini-region" that includes three villages and their larger administrative center. By applying a constrained SAM multiplier model, the paper examines how economic shocks in rural areas affect non-farm incomes in rural villages, in neighboring rural towns and in larger regional cities. Two exogenous shocks on non-farm activity are examined: pure income transfers; and increased agricultural productivity. Experiments assume a perfectly inelastic supply of agricultural goods, as in "semi inputoutput" and "economic base" models. Results show that most farm-nonfarm diversification is between villages and regional urban centers. The largest linkages are with markets outside, rather than within, villages: an experimental $100 increase in exogenous income is linked with a $2 increase in non-farm production but a $51 increase in demand for imported goods. This is evidence of "agriculture-demand-ledindustrialization" and explains growth of regional urban centers, which now accounts for most of Mexico's urban growth. Our analysis highlights the complex economic interactions between villages and towns in what probably is a mutually beneficial relationship broadly consistent with comparative advantage. Results suggest that increasing the income of village households can stimulate growth of the rural non-farm commercial activity in towns and small cities. Comparisons across villages suggest that investments in rural infrastructure can facilitate these commercial linkages between villages and towns.

description: Fast speckle suppression is crucial for time-resolved full-field imaging with laser illumination. Here, we introduce a method to accelerate the spatial decoherence of laser emission, achieving speckle suppression in the nanosecond integration time scale. The method relies on the insertion of an intracavity phase diffuser into a degenerate cavity laser to break the frequency degeneracy of transverse modes and broaden the lasing spectrum. The ultrafast decoherence of laser emission results in the reduction of speckle contrast to $3\%$ in less than 1 nanosecond.
