description: Icteridae   Dolichonyx oryzivorus (MGT): breeds in North America from May to July and flies non-stop in August through the sea of the Antilles and the coast of Venezuela. In Florida these birds converge into large flocks until they reach their wintering areas in eastern Bolivia, southern central Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina, covering 20,000 km in this round trip. Its main wintering site is the Pampas from southeastern South America (Di Giácomo & Krapovickas, 2005; Azpiroz et al., 2012). This species reaches the Pantanal in MT in Brazil in November, and then northeastern Bolivia, Paraguay and the Pampas in Argentina, after crossing the entire Amazonian region (Sick, 1983, 1997; Fraga & Christie, 2016). Three individuals were recorded for Cachoeira de Nazaré/RO in November while flying across the Amazon (Stotz et al., 1992). Geolocation data from 15 individuals captured in three different breeding areas in the USA suggested that fall migration occurs through the Caribbean with a stopover in northern Venezuela, and another in Bolivia in November. 12 individuals flew to a region in Argentina between December and March, where they molted completely before the spring return migration (Renfrew et al., 2013). Records for RS were made in December (Belton, 1985) and sound records for MT in November, while photographic records for MS were between November and March. For SP there is only one record in January (WikiAves, 2016). Museum records are restricted to AM in April (MPEG).

description: The immensity of the corpus and diversity of genres of Classical New Persian in Judeo-Persian garb is remarkable, comprising a wide-ranging multitude of genres from translations of the Tanakh and rabbinic works to chronicles, lexicographies, religious poetry, translations of medieval Hebrew poems, and a large corpus of non-Jewish Classical Persian literature transcribed in Hebrew script. Yet, Judeo-Persian literary corpora remain incompletely catalogued as well as unsatisfactorily studied. While detailed studies of the genres of Judeo-Persian literature-in-transcription, as well as comparisons with literature in the common Perso-Arabic script, are still desiderata, this article aims to undertake a preliminary survey of the extant Judeo-Persian versions of the Dīvān of Šams od-Dīn Moḥammad Ḥāfeẓ of Shiraz (d. 792/1390) and address some contextual aspects of its popularity among Iranian Jewry.

description: This paper investigates the factors affecting rice production and technical efficiency of rice farmers in Philippines. Particular attention is given to the role of land ownership. We use the 2007-2012 Loop Survey from the Institute of Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and simulated maximum likelihood (SML) approach. Results show that land ownership plays an important role in rice production. In particular, compared to owner operators, farmers who lease land are less productive. Additionally, result shows that land area, irrigation and labor cost are significant factors affecting rice production. We found mean technical efficiency score of 0.82. Finally, educated females, farmers leasing land and dry season farming tend increase technical inefficiency.

description: The linkage between macroeconomic policies and agricultural commodity trade has become an important research issue of agricultural economists. This paper investigates the macroeconomic linkage of soybean trade competition between the exporting countries of the United States, Brazil, and Argentina in the EC-12 and Japan import markets. It is argued that U.S. monetary growth may have important impacts on the competitive position of U.S. soybean exports through exchange rates. Two relationships are investigated: (a) the effects of U.S. monetary growth on the agricultural trade weighted exchange rates, and (b) the responsiveness of agricultural commodity prices and U.S. exports to exchange rate movements. Results indicate that a weak dollar increases imports of soybeans and soymeal significantly which serves to increase the equilibrium world price and increase both U.S. and Brazilj Argentina exports in the long run. However, during periods of more expansionary U.S. monetary policy there is little evidence of significant increases in market share position for U.S. soybeans and soymeal in world markets.

description: A quinoline functionalized nitrogen-based bidentate ligand (L) was synthesized and used for the preparation of mononuclear Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes which differ only by the halide ion attached to the respective metal center. All complexes of this series show closely related crystal packing regardless of the halide ion and metal center (Ni/Zn). All the complexes were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques such as UV-vis, emission, IR and NMR spectroscopies, ESI-MS, single-crystal XRD and thermogravimetry. All the complexes were examined for hydrolysis of a phosphoester bond in the DNA-model substrate 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP) and bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP). All complexes were able to hydrolyze BNPP and NPP and showed better rate of hydrolysis with diesters as compared to monoesters.
Stability of magnetic vortex in soft magnetic nano-sized circular cylinder

description: Stability of magnetic vortex with respect to displacement of its center in a nano-scale circular cylinder made of soft ferromagnetic material is studied theoretically. The mode of vortex displacement producing no magnetic charges on the cylinder side is proposed and the corresponding absolute single-domain radius of the cylinder is calculated as a function of its thickness and the exchange length of the material. In cylinders with the radii less than the single-domain radius the vortex state is unstable and is absolutely prohibited (except if pinned by material imperfections), so that the distribution of the magnetization vector in such cylinders in no applied magnetic field is uniform (or quasi-uniform). The phase diagram of nano-scale cylinders including the stability line and the metastability region obtained here is presented.

Year: 1994

description: John Milton's Paradise Lost, a work subject to an indefinite variety of readings, is here dissected to reveal the nature of Milton's political epistemology. Using his prose as the soil from which his ideas sprang and the whirlwind political climate of seventeenth century England as the catalyst of these ideas, the goal is to connect the implied political content of Paradise Lost with corresponding points in the prose and actual events of Milton's time, with the intent to form a blueprint of Milton's "political vision." Eden and Heaven from Paradise Lost offer a link between labor without constraints and the rewards of upward mobility, thus anticipating capitalism. The result is a political ideology which warrants comparison with the economic theory of laissez faire.

description: This paper reports the results of a study of the effects of the Indian government's consumer subsidies on wheat demand. Results indicate consumption of subsidized wheat is higher in urban areas than in rural areas. The public distribution of wheat in most states had little effect on demand in the commercial market, which suggests the government is effective in targeting subsidized wheat to poor consumers.
Different Set Domain Adaptation for Brain-Computer Interfaces: A Label Alignment Approach

description: A brain-computer interface (BCI) system usually needs a long calibration session for each new subject/task to adjust its parameters, which impedes its transition from the laboratory to real-world applications. Domain adaptation, which leverages labeled data from auxiliary subjects/tasks (source domains), has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing such calibration effort. Currently, most domain adaptation approaches require the source domains to have the same feature space and label space as the target domain, which limits their applications, as the auxiliary data may have different feature spaces and/or different label spaces. This paper considers different set domain adaptation for BCIs, i.e., the source and target domains have different label spaces. We introduce a practical setting of different label sets for BCIs, and propose a novel label alignment (LA) approach to align the source label space with the target label space. It has three desirable properties: 1) LA only needs as few as one labeled sample from each class of the target subject; 2) LA can be used as a preprocessing step before different feature extraction and classification algorithms; and, 3) LA can be integrated with other domain adaptation approaches to achieve even better performance. Experiments on two motor imagery datasets demonstrated the effectiveness of LA.

It is shown that memory of the initial state, created by the cooling process, remains strong on all experimental time scales. Scaling properties of two relaxation functions, the TRM and the IRM (with $t_{w1}=0$ and $t_{w2}=t_{w}$), are compared in detail. The TRM decay exhibits the well-known subaging behavior, with $μ<1$ and $t_{w}^{eff}>t_{w}$. The IRM relaxation demonstrates the superaging behavior, with $μ>1$ and $t_{w}^{eff}

Rural banking in Nigeria: Empirical evidence of indicative policy variables from Anambra State

description: Ten years after the establishment of the Rural Banking Scheme (RBS) in Nigeria, there are clear indications that the problems and issues which led to the scheme are still prevalent. These include a low level of rural savings mobilization, inadequate use of banking services, and lack of credit for rural people. The central assumptions of the scheme were that increasing the physical proximity of banks to rural people enhances rural savings mobilization and, in turn, increases the flow of funds to the rural sector. Consequently, Nigeria established a quasi-commercial bank type of rural banking system, by means of legislation requiring commercial banks to open branches in rural areas. This study questions the validity of the underlying assumptions, and sets out to investigate the appropriate mix of policy variables necessary for establishing an effective rural banking system in Nigeria and other developing countries. Rural residents were surveyed to find out which variables are important in determining rural bank use. Discriminant analysis showed that four variables were significant in discriminating between rural bank users and non-users. These variables were household income, years of formal education, gender of respondent, and the awareness of the existence of the rural bank branch. The proximity of the bank to the respondent's residence was not a significant determining variable. These findings have important implications for rural bank designers and implementors in Nigeria and other developing countries. They suggest that the current emphasis on the physical distance, as a critical factor in rural bank development, should be replaced by a broader and a more comprehensive strategy which would incorporate and utilize an appropriate mix of policy variables to enhance the effectiveness of the rural banks in Nigeria.

description: Ferromagnetism has been reported recently in La-doped alkaline-earth hexaborides, A1-xLaxB6 (A=Ca, Sr, and Ba). We have performed the reflectivity, Hall resistivity, and magnetization measurements of A1-xLaxB6. The results indicate that A1-xLaxB6 can be regarded as a simple doped semimetal, with no signature of an excitonic state as suggested by several theories. It is also found that the surface of as-grown samples (10 micrometer in thickness) has a different electronic structure from a bulk one, and a fairly large number of paramagnetic moments are confined in this region. After eliminating these paramagnetic moments at the surface, we could not find any evidence of an intrinsic ferromagnetic moment in our samples, implying the possibility that the ferromagnetism of A1-xLaxB6 reported so far is neither intrinsic.

description: Glass carbon electrodes (GCE) were modified with metal organic frameworks (MOFs) containing molybdenum polyoxometallates (Mo POMs) in a copper benzene tricarboxylate framework (HKUST-1). The Mo POMs were introduced via one-pot synthesis (Mo2) and post-synthetic modification (Mo1) techniques. The electrode modifiers were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis. The modified electrodes’ oxidation capacity toward l-cysteine was studied. Mo POMs significantly improved electron transfer kinetics compared to the bare GCE. The best Mo POM doped electrode (Mo1-GCE) had a catalytic rate constant of 2.2 × 104 M−1 s−1 and a limit of detection of 3.07 × 10−7 M. Under the employed experimental conditions, the detection response for l-cysteine was very fast (within 0.1 s) for all the modified electrodes and selective toward l-cysteine in the presence of other amino acids.

description: An approach to experimentally exploring electronic correlation functions in mesoscopic regimes is proposed. The idea is to monitor the mesoscopic fluctuations of a tunneling current flowing between the two layers of a semiconductor double-quantum-well structure. From the dependence of these fluctuations on external parameters, such as in-plane or perpendicular magnetic fields, external bias voltages, etc., the temporal and spatial dependence of various prominent correlation functions of mesoscopic physics can be determined. Due to the absence of spatially localized external probes, the method provides a way to explore the interplay of interaction and localization effects in two-dimensional systems within a relatively unperturbed environment. We describe the theoretical background of the approach and quantitatively discuss the behavior of the current fluctuations in diffusive and ergodic regimes. The influence of both various interaction mechanisms and localization effects on the current is discussed. Finally a proposal is made on how, at least in principle, the method may be used to experimentally determine the relevant critical exponents of localization-delocalization transitions.

description: We present a worm-type Monte Carlo study of several typical models in the three-dimensional (3D) U(1) universality class, which include the classical 3D XY model in the directed flow representation and its Villain version, as well as the 2D quantum Bose-Hubbard (BH) model with unitary filling in the imaginary-time world-line representation. From the topology of the configurations on a torus, we sample the superfluid stiffness $ρ_s$ and the dimensionless wrapping probability $R$. From the finite-size scaling analyses of $ρ_s$ and of $R$, we determine the critical points as $T_c ({\rm XY}) =2.201\, 844 \,1(5)$ and $T_c ({\rm Villain})=0.333\, 067\, 04(7)$ and $(t/U)_c ({\rm BH})=0.059 \, 729 \,1(8)$, where $T$ is the temperature for the classical models, and $t$ and $U$ are respectively the hopping and on-site interaction strength for the BH model. The precision of our estimates improves significantly over that of the existing results. Moreover, it is observed that at criticality, the derivative of a wrapping probability with respect to $T$ suffers from negligible leading corrections and enables a precise determination of the correlation length critical exponent as $ν=0.671 \, 83(18)$. In addition, the critical exponent $η$ is estimated as $η=0.038 \, 53(48)$ by analyzing a susceptibility-like quantity. We believe that these numerical results would provide a solid reference in the study of classical and quantum phase transitions in the 3D U(1) universality, including the recent development of the conformal bootstrap method.

Interaction between livestock and feeds policies: evidence from Southeast Asia

description: Consumption of livestock products in Southeast Asia could continue to increase rapidly, as has been the case in Northeast Asia. The extent to which domestic producers may respond to these demand developments will be influenced by government interventions in both livestock product and feeds markets. The paper analyses the net contribution of livestock product and feed price distortions on the effective rate of protection, and whether intervention in the commodity market is augmented or offset by intervention in the feeds market. While policy-induced distortions were found to exist in the livestock sectors of Thailand and Malaysia, especially in beef and dairy production, the contribution of feeds policies to these distortions was minimal. In contrast implicit taxes on feeds were high in Indonesia and the Philippines. In the latter, support on product prices was sufficient to more than offset the tax on feeds so that effective protection remained positive. But in Indonesia both livestock and feeds policies worked to provide disincentives to livestock production. It is concluded that livestock and feeds policies should be formulated with regard to objectives and priorities within both sectors. This could require that greater emphasis be placed on feeds sector assistance policies that do not affect the price of feeds.

description: Japan's Food Control System was established in 1942 during World War II in order to cope with the shortage of food. The system has been maintained in order to secure a stable supply of rice, a staple food and key crop in the country. The functions and roles of this system change gradually according to fluctuations in the rice market. Since the establishment of the 'voluntary rice-marketing system' in 1969, Japan's marketed rice has been classified into the following three types: (1) Government-marketed rice (GM rice): the government purchases from rice growers and sells to wholesalers. (2) Voluntarily marketed rice (VM rice): rice assemblers' organizations sell directly to wholesalers. (3) Freely marketed rice (FM rice) which is an illegal practice. Recent trends have witnessed decreased sales of GM rice and increases in the sales of VM and FM rice, thus resulting in the weakening of government control of the rice supply. The goods markets for VM rice instituted in 1990 introduced to a greater degree the market mechanism of price controls for rice. At the same time, the government's control of rice distribution was relaxed to allow new access to rice dealers and to promote free trade between sellers and buyers. Although the Food Control System in Japan has changed significantly, it will be retained since it protects the rice supply and paddy field agricultural system.

description: Accipitridae   Milvus migrans (VAG): occurs in almost the entire Old Word and Australasia, and the nominotypical subspecies is highly migratory. It breeds in continental Europe, northwestern Africa and western Asia, and overwinters mainly south of the Sahara in Africa (Ferguson-Lees & Christie, 2001). Vagrant individuals have been recorded in New Zealand and on Hawaiian islands in the Pacific. One adult individual was recently recorded in the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago, 1,100 km away from the Brazilian coast,between April 16 th and May 17 th 2014, probably by following winds from northwestern Africa (Nunes et al., 2015) that are tangent to the main flyway used by this species when moving between the wintering and breeding areas in western Europe (Sergio et al., 2014).
 [Geranoaetus polyosoma] (VAG): occurs from central Andes in Colombia to Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Malvinas /Falklands and Juan Fernández Islands on the coast of Chile (Bierregaard, 1994). During austral winter, birds from the Chilean Andes and from Patagonia fly north to subtropical plains in northern and eastern Argentina, Paraguay and perhaps Uruguay (Thiollay, 1994). In Brazil, there are few records: none is documented and only one has a specific locality on Cabo Frio Island in Arraial do Cabo/RJ (Pacheco, 2005).

description: We report 323 hours of nearly uninterrupted time series photometric observations of the DBV star GD 358 acquired with the Whole Earth Telescope (WET) during May 23rd to June 8th, 2000. We acquired more than 232 000 independent measurements. We also report on 48 hours of time-series photometric observations in Aug 1996. We detected the non-radial g-modes consistent with degree l=1 and radial order 8 to 20 and their linear combinations up to 6th order.We also detect, for the first time, a high amplitude l=2 mode, with a period of 796s. In the 2000 WET data, the largest amplitude modes are similar to those detected with the WET observations of 1990 and 1994, but the highest combination order previously detected was 4th order. At one point during the 1996 observations, most of the pulsation energy was transferred into the radial order k=8 mode, which displayed a sinusoidal pulse shape in spite of the large amplitude. The multiplet structure of the individual modes changes from year to year, and during the 2000 observations only the k=9 mode displays clear normal triplet structure. Even though the pulsation amplitudes change on timescales of days and years, the eigenfrequencies remain essentially the same, showing the stellar structure is not changing on any dynamical timescale.
