Constraints in the Maltese livestock sector

Malta became a full member state within the European Union in May 2004. The Maltese agricultural sector now has access to one of the largest markets, but in return had to remove all sorts of protectionism from inbound European products. As we stand to-date, two years post membership; the livestock sector is expressing a lethargic attitude and portraying an air of despair and confusion. This paper will attempt to identify and highlight shortfall fundamental for a sustainable livestock sector.peer-reviewe

The demografic Maltese situation

The total population of Malta as of the 26th November 2005 stood at 404,039 persons. This figure includes both the Maltese and foreign residents. Since the first census of 1842, the population has increased three-and-a-half fold, from 114,499 in 1842 to the present count. While the population increased by over 60 per cent between the first Census and the turn of the 20th century, the population has more than doubled between the beginning of the 20th century and the turn of the 21st, i.e. between 1901 and 2005. In the last Census the population grew by 6.9 per cent when compared to the previous Census that was taken in 1995, thus indicating a slowdown in population growth. In fact, in the period between 1985 and 1995, the population had grown by 9.5 per cent. The period between the 1995 Census and the 16th Census held in 2005 saw a marked decline in the average annual growth, the population increasing by an average of 0.7 per cent per year between the two Census years.peer-reviewe

On the Resolution of the Time-Like Singularities in Reissner-Nordstrom and Negative-Mass Schwarzschild

Certain time-like singularities are shown to be resolved already in classical General Relativity once one passes from particle probes to scalar waves. The time evolution can be defined uniquely and some general conditions for that are formulated. The Reissner-Nordstrom singularity allows for communication through the singularity and can be termed "beam splitter" since the transmission probability of a suitably prepared high energy wave packet is 25%. The high frequency dependence of the cross section is w^{-4/3}. However, smooth geometries arbitrarily close to the singular one require a finite amount of negative energy matter. The negative-mass Schwarzschild has a qualitatively different resolution interpreted to be fully reflecting. These 4d results are similar to the 2d black hole and are generalized to an arbitrary dimension d>4.Comment: 47 pages, 5 figures. v2: See end of introduction for an important note adde

On Thermodynamical Properties of Some Coset CFT Backgrounds

We investigate the thermodynamical features of two Lorentzian signature backgrounds that arise in string theory as exact CFTs and possess more than two disconnected asymptotic regions: the 2-d charged black hole and the Nappi-Witten cosmological model. We find multiple smooth disconnected Euclidean versions of the charged black hole background. They are characterized by different temperatures and electro-chemical potentials. We show that there is no straightforward analog of the Hartle-Hawking state that would express these thermodynamical features. We also obtain multiple Euclidean versions of the Nappi-Witten cosmological model and study their singularity structure. It suggests to associate a non-isotropic temperature with this background.Comment: 1+39 pages, harvmac, 8 eps figure
