description: We present a dispersive representation of the $γN\rightarrow πN$ partial-wave amplitude based on unitarity and analyticity. In this representation, the right-hand-cut contribution responsible for $πN$ final-state-interaction effect are taken into account via an Omnés formalism with elastic $πN$ phase shifts as inputs, while the left-hand-cut contribution is estimated by invoking chiral perturbation theory. Numerical fits are performed in order to pin down the involved subtraction constants. It is found that good fit quality can be achieved with only one free parameter and the experimental data of the multipole amplitude $E_{0}^+$ in the energy region below the $Δ(1232)$ are well described. Furthermore, we extend the $γN\rightarrow πN$ partial-wave amplitude to the second Riemann sheet so as to extract the couplings of the $N^\ast(890)$. The modulus of the residue of the multipole amplitude $E_{0}^+$ ($S_{11pE}$) is $2.41\rm{mfm\cdot GeV^2}$ and the partial width of $N^*(890)\toγN$ at the pole is about $0.369\ {\rm MeV}$, which is almost the same as the one of $N^*(1535)$, indicating that $N^\ast(890)$ strongly couples to $πN$ system.

description: Agil approaches - with Scrum leading the way - increasingly gain public interest. The advantages that agil methodes bring about speak for themselves: Faster reactions to changing requirements, stronger customer orientation as well as higher motivation and integration of project members. Agil methods can influence the productivity positively and show new ways of collaboration and variability for stakeholders. Furthermore various challenges not only for the individual role but also for the entire company need to be taken into consideration. The master thesis deals with roles of classic project management, project organisations and the roles of the agil approaches. For each role definitions are analysed, additionally the commonalities and differences between classic and agil role models are examined and finally criteria for the choice of the most appropriate approach are pointed out. For the practical part of this thesis interviews with six experts from different companies were held. They were asked about their experiences with classic and agil approaches as well as how those roles are applied in practice. Subsequently the results are interpreted. On basis of two studies the international trends are examined in terms of agil approaches. The insights dealing with the introduction and the handling of agil methods are summarised and recommendations for the success of agile projects are given.

description: This article analyzes spatial dependence in the adoption of organic farming. A Bayesian spatial Durbin probit model is applied to survey data of almost 600 Irish drystock farmers. The findings reveal that farmers located in close proximity exhibit similar choice behavior. More specifically, communication and interactions among farmers influence adoption decisions as for example attitudes and social norms were identified to have spatial spillover effects. Overall, the findings from this study highlight that it is important to account for spatial dependence when explaining adoption decisions as this also influences policy recommendations.

description: We extend the trade restrictiveness index approach to the case of market imperfections and domestic regulations addressing them. We focus on standard-like non-tariff measures (NTMs) affecting cost of production and potentially enhancing demand by reducing negative externalities. We apply the framework to the database of Kee et al. (2009) and derive ad valorem equivalents (AVEs) for technical measures. About 39% of the product lines affected by NTMs exhibit negative AVEs, indicating a net trade-facilitating effect of these measures. Accounting for these effects significantly reduces previous measures of countries’ trade policy restrictiveness obtained while constraining these NTMs to be trade reducing.

description: In the last two decades the Italian food retail landscape has changed considerably also thanks to the LD 114/1998 and subsequent trade liberalization laws. In this study, we investigate the impact of LD 114/1998 on the structure of the Italian food retailing industry and on the food and beverage price index. We use difference–in–difference to compare the level of concentration, number of stores, average store size and in-store services in regions enacting changes mandated by the LD 114/1998, versus those which did not; we also measure both the direct and indirect (through change in retail structure) policy effects on food price levels. Results show that, once the endogenous nature of policy changes is controlled for, the policy appears affecting more smaller than larger outlets, although facilitating consolidation across store formats. The effects on price levels seem mixed, varying in function of the structural metric considered, however showing no overall effect. Last, the effect of the liberalization seems to be more modest in regions where the level of liberalization implemented is “low”.

description: The paper investigates the impact of subsidies and of para-agriculture on the technical efficiency of organic farms in Switzerland, Austria and Southern Germany. The data-set consists of bookkeeping data with 1,704 observations in the years 2003 to 2005. Technical efficiency is modelled using a stochastic distance-frontier model combined with a Metafrontier-model. The results show almost no efficiency differences among the farms in the three countries. Para-agriculture shows a strong impact on farm’s efficiency and output in Austria and Switzerland, whereas in Germany the effect is rather small. The study confirms that agricultural subsidies have a direct impact on farm’s efficiency.

description: Incorporating the ecological variable of grassland Net Primary Productivity (NPP) into the production function - to be representative of grassland quality - is a new step toward the ecological efficiency analysis under the field of productivity and efficiency analysis. We measure the technical efficiency, ecological performance indicator and ecological efficiency of grazing using a multi-outputs and multi-inputs stochastic input-oriented distance function. The average technical efficiency is estimated to be 0.90 when taking grassland NPP into account, implying that cost of grazing inputs can be decreased by 10% without any deduction of outputs. The ecological efficiency is estimated to be 0.83 and the average ecological performance indicator is 0.17.

description: In this paper, we assess the impact of farm size on production cost and evaluate the marginal costs and margins by considering that input prices may change with the scale of production. By using French hog farm data, we estimate a system of equations including a feed price function, input demand functions, and an output supply function based on a technology approximated by a combined generalized Leontief-Quadratic form. Our results suggest that the marginal costs are over-estimated when the adjustment of the feed unit prices to a change in farm size is not controlled for.

description: Predicting and investigating the impact of subsidisation on farm technical efficiency are becoming critical issues in applied policy analysis. This paper presents a meta-regression analysis of empirical results on this issue, based on logistic regressions and data gathered from a systematic literature review from 1972 to 2014. The review reveals that subsidisation is commonly negatively associated with farm technical efficiency. Estimation results show that the direction (negative, positive or null) of the observed effects is sensitive to the way subsidies are modelled in the empirical studies, but robust to farming systems studied, estimation methods used, and geographical areas considered.

description: We consider pattern formation in periodically forced binary systems. In particular we focus on systems in which the two species are differentially forced, one being accelerated with respect to the other. Using a continuum model consisting of two isothermal ideal gases which interact via a frictional force we demonstrate analytically that stripes form spontaneously above a critical forcing amplitude. The wavelength of the stripes is found to be close to the wavelength of sound in the limit of small viscosity. The results are confirmed numerically. We suggest that the same mechanism may contribute to the formation of stripes in experiments on horizontally oscillated granular mixtures.

We construct the associated quantum charges for an arbitrary CFT and show they satisfy a closed algebra that includes the BMS as a sub-algebra (i.e. supertranslations and superrotations) plus a novel transformation we call `superdilations'. We study representations of this algebra in the Hilbert space of the CFT, as well as the action of the finite transformations obtained by exponentiating the charges. In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we propose a bulk holographic description in semi-classical gravity that reproduces the results obtained from CFT computations. We discuss the implications of our results regarding quantum hairs of asymptotically flat (near-)extremal black holes.

description: Most of ex-ante impact assessment policy models have been based on a parametric approach. We develop a novel non-parametric approach, called Inverse DEA. We use non parametric efficiency analysis for determining the farm’s technology and behaviour. Then, we compare the parametric approach and the Inverse DEA models to a known data generating process. We use a bio-economic model as a data generating process reflecting a real world situation where often non-linear relationships exist. Results suggest that traditional parametric approaches are biased and inconsistent. The Inverse DEA model under variable return to scale preserving technical efficiency scores outperforms any other specifications. However such non-parametric approach is by nature sensitive to noise which hampers its accuracy when it prevails. The use of panel data is preferable.

description: Fully inverted atoms placed at exactly the same location synchronize as they deexcite, and light is emitted in a burst (known as "Dicke's superradiance"). We investigate the role of finite interatomic separation on correlated decay in mesoscopic chains, and provide an understanding in terms of collective jump operators. We show that the superradiant burst survives at small distances, despite Hamiltonian dipole-dipole interactions. However, for larger separations, competition between different jump operators leads to dephasing, suppressing superradiance. Collective effects are still significant for arrays with lattice constants of the order of a wavelength, and lead to a photon emission rate that decays nonexponentially in time. We calculate the two-photon correlation function and demonstrate that emission is correlated and directional, as well as sensitive to small changes in the interatomic distance. These features can be measured in current experimental setups, and are robust to realistic imperfections.

description: This study evaluated the performance of a group of twenty-seven livestock production enterprises or decision making units (DMU) from fourteen CREA groups located in two contrasting areas of the country, with respect to their input cost efficiency. The study considered a production function with one product (beef) and three input variables (pastures, supplements and health costs). A data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied the DMUs using average physical and economic information from three years. The DEA is a linear programming technique that enables to identify which DMUs, within a group, are more efficient, as they locate at the empirically estimated production frontier. The results showed that only six DMUs exhibited efficient input/output combinations (100%), three reached a 98% efficient, and one showed an efficiency rate of 92%. The inefficiencies were referred to the spending on supplementation or health. On the lower level, seven DMU showed efficiency levels lower than 60%, with one of them exhibiting an efficiency rate of less than 40%. The absence of linear correlations between the efficiency ratios and the descriptive variables characterizing DMUs, suggest that the differences were due to management factors that are related, in turn, to socio-economic characteristics of producers.

description: Violent expiratory events, such as coughing and sneezing, are highly nontrivial examples of a two-phase mixture of liquid droplets dispersed into an unsteady turbulent airflow. Understanding the physical mechanisms determining the dispersion and evaporation process of respiratory droplets has recently become a priority given the global emergency caused by the SARS-CoV-2 infection. By means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations (DNS) of the expiratory airflow and a comprehensive Lagrangian model for the droplet dynamics, we identify the key role of turbulence on the fate of exhaled droplets. Due to the considerable spread in the initial droplet size, we show that the droplet evaporation time is controlled by the combined effect of turbulence and droplet inertia. This mechanism is clearly highlighted when comparing the DNS results with those obtained using coarse-grained descriptions that are employed in the majority of the current state-of-the-art investigations, resulting in errors up to $100\%$ when the turbulent fluctuations are filtered or completely averaged out.

description: The aim of this study was to assess, in the period from November 2013 to April 2014, the health of the water body del Estero Real River by varying physicochemical parameters and their reflection in the dynamics of intermediary metabolism of the major compounds organic. The Estero Real River was divided into 10 sampling sites from the cooperative Herrera Membreño to AGRIMAR II (23 Km). Once a month readings were taken and physicochemical parameters of water and sediment samples were collected to assess concentrations of energy compounds. Therefore, we evaluated the dynamics of concentrations of essential energy compounds (proteins, amino acids and glucose) for the proper functioning of life of different organisms and their relation to changes in the physicochemical parameters in the period November 2013- April 2014. The highest pH values were found in the months of December and January (8.1 and 8.4, respectively); oxygen dissolved in water showed the highest level in February (7.9 mg / L) and lowest in December (1.9 mg / L): the maximum values of salinity and temperature was presented in the month of April with 38.7 ppm and 31.6 ° C, respectively. And the month in which the waters of the river Estero Real had higher turbidity is January (27.5 cm Secchi disk reading). In water, the behavior of the concentrations of amino acids and proteins have low ratio with respect to behavior of the salt concentration (R = 0.23 and R = 0.29, respectively), as opposed to what was observed with glucose (R = 0.95). In sediment, levels of energy and protein amino compounds have a tendency to decrease over time, not being the case for glucose. The salt concentration ratio regarding protein levels showed (R = -0.71), the concentration of amino acids (R = 0.2) and glucose concentration (R = 0.31). The results found on dissolved oxygen levels allow us to suggest that the body of water that forms the Estero Real River, over several months has serious stress problems affecting the conditions for animal welfare.
A constraint-separation principle in model predictive control

description: In this brief, we consider the constrained optimization problem underpinning model predictive control (MPC). We show that this problem can be decomposed into an unconstrained optimization problem with the same cost function as the original problem and a constrained optimization problem with a modified cost function and dynamics that have been precompensated according to the solution of the unconstrained problem. In the case of linear systems subject to a quadratic cost, the unconstrained problem has the familiar LQR solution and the constrained problem reduces to a minimum-norm projection. This implies that solving linear MPC problems is equivalent to precompensating a system using LQR and applying MPC to penalize only the control input. We propose to call this a constraint-separation principle and discuss the utility of both constraint separation and general decomposition in the design of MPC schemes and the development of numerical solvers for MPC problems.

description: Accessing unexplored conditions in crystal growth often reveals remarkable surprises and new regimes of physical behavior. In this work, performing molecular beam epitaxy of the technologically important superconductor NbN at temperatures greater than 1000$^\circ$C, higher than in the past, is found to reveal persistent RHEED oscillations throughout the growth, atomically smooth surfaces, normal metal resistivities as low as 37$μΩ$-cm and superconducting critical temperatures in excess of 15 K. Most remarkably, a reversal of the sign of the Hall coefficient is observed as the NbN films are cooled, and the high material quality allows the first imaging of Abrikosov vortex lattices in this superconductor.

description: El objetivo fue estudiar el consumo de diferentes cortes y tipos de carnes por los hogares uruguayos en la última década del siglo XX y primera del siglo XXI. Se utilizaron las dos últimas encuestas de gastos e ingresos de hogares aplicando un procedimiento bietápico a un sistema incompleto de demanda con ecuaciones censuradas. El estudio involucró trece productos cárnicos: seis de carne bovina, uno de ovina, uno de porcina, uno de aviar, uno de pescados y mariscos y tres productos cárnicos genéricos. Se computaron elasticidades ingreso y precio con un intervalo de confianza 90%. Los resultados verificaron una disminución en el consumo de todas las carnes, particularmente de la bovina, entre ambos períodos. No obstante, éstas continúan siendo un elemento preponderante en la dieta hogareña. La carne aviar mejoró sustancialmente su consumo relativo aunque los fiambres y embutidos consolidaron su preferencia. Entre las bovinas, se destacó la carne picada. El ingreso y tamaño de los hogares mostraron un efecto positivo sobre la probabilidad de consumo de casi todas las carnes, las que se comportaron siempre como bienes necesarios (η < 1) y normales (ε < 0). En general, todas se mostraron inelásticas frente al ingreso y reaccionaron en forma diferencial frente a cambios en su precio. The objective of this research was to study the consumption of different cuts and types of meat by Uruguayan households in the last decade of the XX century and the first decade of XXI century. It involved a two-step estimation of an incomplete system of censored demand equations using household data from the two last national household income and expenditure surveys. Thirteen meat products were included in the analysis: six beef products, four from other meats (sheep, pork, poultry, and fish), and three generic mixed-meat products. A complete set of shor tterm income, own-price and cross-price elasticities were computed and reported with 90% confidence interval. The comparison between the two periods verified a decrease in the consumption of all meats, particularly beef. However, they continue being a dominant factor in household diets. Poultry meat substantially improved its relative consumption although cold cut meats and sausages consolidated as the most preferred among all meat products. The consumption of ground beef excelled among bovine cuts. Income level and household size showed a positive effect on the probability of spending on almost any meat. All meat items were necessary goods (η < 1) exhibiting income-inelastic responses. All of them behaved also as normal goods (ε < 0) although showing different responses to price changes.

description: El principal objetivo de este trabajo fue la evaluación del impacto económico potencial generado por diferentes alternativas tecnológicas de producción de arroz en el Uruguay: adopción de buenas prácticas de manejo agronómico en el cultivo (BPM) e incorporación de variedades transgénicas (GM), en el marco de un mercado internacional segmentado por cambios en las preferencias de los consumidores de algunos países importadores del cereal. Se analizaron los cambios en el comercio del arroz a través de un modelo de equilibrio general computable. Se cuantificaron los flujos de comercio internacional para arroz cáscara y arroz procesado, entre las doce regiones consideradas: Uruguay, Brasil, NAFTA, Resto de América, Europa, África, Tailandia, China, Japón, Medio Oriente, Resto de Asia y Resto del Mundo. La simulación se llevó a cabo sobre la base de escenarios que consideraron distintos tipos de BPM y de cambios en las preferencias por productos GM, por parte de los consumidores en Brasil y la Unión Europa. Los resultados sugieren que la adopción de BPM en el cultivo de arroz, realizada hasta el momento en el país, produjo mejoras en el bienestar de la economía, en tanto la incorporación de GM supondría un riesgo de pérdida de las mejoras obtenidas.
description: The main objective of this research study was the assessment of potential economic impacts generated by different technological alternatives for rice production in Uruguay: the adoption of best crop management practices (BMP) and the introduction of transgenic rice varieties (GM), under a framework of international market segmentation due to changes in consumers’ preferences of main rice importers. The changes in global trade were analyzed using a computed general equilibrium model. International trade flows for paddy and processed rice were quantified for twelve selected regions: Uruguay, Brazil, NAFTA, Rest of America, Europe, Africa, Thailand, China, Japan, Middle East, Rest of Asia, and Rest of the World. The simulation analysis was carried out by building scenarios that considered different BMP alternatives as well as changes in consumer preferences for GM products in two key import markets: Brazil and the European Union. The results obtained in this study suggest that the BMP adopted in the last decade by the rice industry in Uruguay have already produced net welfare gains. On the other hand, the adoption of GM varieties in this country would represent a risk of producing net welfare losses, derived from consumers’ unwillingness to buy GM rice products in these markets.
Genetic and proteomic analysis of the P33ING1b tumour suppressor in melanoma

description: The ING1 (In hibitor of G rowth) gene is the founding member of at least five related human genes associated with tumour suppressive properties. ING genes are evolutionarily conserved and express cofactors of histone acetyltransferases (HAT) and historic deacetylases (HDAC). The ING1 locus encodes at least three detectable protein isoforms, including the well-studied p33ING1b protein. Through associated HAT and HDAC activity, p33ING1b is capable of regulating the transcription of various genes, including the p21waf1 and cyclin B1 cell cycle regulators and the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member Bax, leading to inhibition of cell cycle progression and sensitization of cells to apoptosis. P33ING1b also enhances the nucleotide excision repair of ultraviolet-damaged DNA. This work describes (1) the generation and use of rabbit polyclonal antiserum that can specifically recognize the p33ING1b isoform; (2) the status of the ING1 gene in malignant human melanoma; and (3) the regulation of the p33ING1b protein through protein phosphorylation and degradation. Mutational alterations were found within the ING1 gene of nearly a fifth of the melanoma biopsies examined. Two common alterations within the ING1 gene at codons 102 and 260 were found to be detrimental to p33ING1b-mediated enhancement of nucleotide excision repair. Mutations within the ING1 gene may also be indicative of a poorer 5-year patient survival. The ING1 gene was also found to be over-expressed in melanoma cells and biopsies compared to normal melanocytes. There was, however, widespread loss of nuclear expression of p33ING1b in the melanoma tumours. This thesis further describes the regulation of the p33ING1b protein through phosphorylation of serine 126 by the cyclin-dependent kinase 1 in the absence of DNA damage and by the checkpoint kinase 1 upon genotoxic stress. Although serine 126 is near the nuclear-localization sequence, it was not found to affect the sub-cellular localization of the p33ING1b protein. Phosphorylation did however alter the half-life of the protein. Serine to alanine site-directed mutagenesis of codon 126 or the inhibition of the Cdk1 kinase both resulted in a higher turnover rate of the p33ING1b protein. Although p33ING1b did incorporate ubiquitin moieties, it was found not to undergo proteolysis through the classical ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

description: Single layers of hexagonal two-dimensional nanostructures such as graphene, silicene, and germanene exhibit large carrier Fermi velocities and, consequently, large light-matter coupling strength making these materials promising elements for nano-opto-electronics. Although these materials are centrosymmetric, the spatial dispersion turns out to be quite large allowing the second-order nonlinear response of such materials to be comparable to the non-centrosymmetric 2D ones. The second-order response of massless Dirac fermions has been extensively studied, however a general approach correct over the full Brillouin zone is lacking so far. To complete this gap, in the current paper we develop a general quantum-mechanical theory of the in-plane second-order nonlinear response beyond the Dirac cone approximation and applicable to the full Brillouin zone of the hexagonal tight-binding nanostructures. We present explicit calculation of the nonlinear susceptibility tensor of 2D hexagonal nanostructures applicable to arbitrary three-wave mixing processes.

description: We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the staggered Dirac matrix in two color QCD at finite chemical potential. The profiles of complex eigenvalues close to the origin are compared to a complex generalization of the chiral Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble, confirming its predictions for weak and strong non-Hermiticity. They differ from the QCD symmetry class with three colors by a level repulsion from both the real and imaginary axis.

description: Este estudio compara los resultados de la Fase I de las dos instancias de la Auditoría Nacional de Calidad de la Carne Bovina llevadas a cabo hasta el momento (2002-03 y 2007-08). Los problemas percibidos por los agentes involucrados en la cadena cárnica vacuna fueron recogidos a través de una serie de encuestas y entrevistas. Los nuevos problemas identificados en la Auditoría 2007-08 se ordenaron de acuerdo a su relevancia. Los respondientes también fueron confrontados con los resultados de la Auditoría 2002-03, donde se las pidió que indicaran si, a su juicio, esos problemas habían mejorado, continuaban igual o habían empeorado durante el período de 5 años entre ambas auditorías. This study presents a comparison of Phase I of the two National Bovine Meat Quality Audits carried out so far (2002-03 versus 2007-08). A list of relevant problems perceived by the agents involved in the beef chain was obtained through a series of surveys and interviews. The new problems identified in the 2007-08 Audit were ordered in terms of their relevance. Respondents were also confronted with the results of the 2002-03 Audit and were asked to indicate whether in their view, such problems had improved, remained the same or worsened during the 5-year period between both Audits.

description: If the inflaton is a pseudo-scalar axion, the axion shift symmetry can protect the flatness of its potential from too large radiative corrections. This possibility, known as natural inflation, requires an axion scale which is greater than the (reduced) Planck scale. It is unclear whether such a high value is compatible with an effective field theoretical description, and if the global axionic symmetry survives quantum gravity effects. We propose a mechanism which provides an effective large axion scale, although the original one is sub-Planckian. The mechanism is based on the presence of two axions, with a potential provided by two anomalous gauge groups. The effective large axion scale is due to an almost exact symmetry between the couplings of the axions to the anomalous groups. We also comment on a possible implementation in heterotic string theory.

description: The Mesoscopic Mechanics (MeM), which has been introduced in a previous paper, is relevant to the electron gas confined to two spatial dimensions. It predicts a special way of collective response of correlated electrons to the external magnetic field. The dynamic variable of this theory is a finite-dimensional operator, which is required to satisfy the mesoscopic Schrödinger equation (cf. text). In this article, we describe general solutions of the mesoscopic Schrödinger equation. Our approach is specific to the problem at hand. It relies on the unique structure of the equation and makes no reference to any other techniques, with the exception of the geometry of unitary groups. In conclusion, a surprising fact comes to light. Namely, the mesoscopic dynamics "filters" through the (microscopic) Schrödinger dynamics as the latter turns out to be a clearly separable part, in fact an autonomous factor, of the evolution. This is a desirable result also from the physical standpoint.
