Risk and Uncertainty

description: Fall 2014, a researcher from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health stated in a newspaper interview that she never touched chicken with her bare hands. This interview was the beginning of a media storm, which resulted in a 25% sales drop for chicken within three months. To be able to understand why this interview had such a strong effect, we conducted an explorative case study. Findings from previous studies of food safety behavior indicate that consumers are irrational and that information is not enough to change behavior. Gigerenzer (2015), however, argue in a recent article that the claim that people are hardly educable lacks evidence. He cites Simon (1985) quote that “people are generally quite rational; that is, they usually have reasons for what they do” and claims that teaching people to become risk savvy is a true alternative to nudging. The aim of our study is to shed light on the rationality debate by exploring consumers’ reflections and reactions to the previously mentioned food scare article. Data from five focus-group interviews with Norwegian consumers of chicken were transcribed, content analyzed, and in-vitro coded, before we conducted a multiple correspondence analysis in PAST. We developed a graphical plot of our results, which we visually inspected and interpreted. The findings indicate that consumers do reflect when confronted with food scares. Some question the research behind the news, others wonder how dangerous this food scare is compared to other risks. Consumers are not irrational, even though their emotions co-occur more often with their behavior than their reflections.

description: Quality is a subjective term and means different things to different people. However there is general agreement that beef quality needs to be consistent, and needs to be improved. Furthermore, there is agreement that it will become an increasingly important factor in consumer decision making (Henchion et al., 2014). Informed by quality theory, this paper seeks to determine the relative importance of quality attributes from a consumer perspective through undertaking a systematic review of the literature on consumer attitudes to different beef quality attributes.

description: Everything consumers do involves making a choice. Looking at these choices, an increasing consumer interest in food products bearing labels identifying non-tangible attributes has been observed over the last years. Consumer concern relates not only to the issue as to what is produced and which product attributes are present in final products, but the growing sentiment relates also to the question of how food is produced in general. Consumers question fairness and justness of production processes with regard to producers (e.g., fair trade labelling) or animals (e.g., animal welfare labelling) and demand support for local supply chains. As a result, certain food production technologies are stigmatized in certain parts of the society. Thereby stigma is defined as “[…] a mark placed on a person, place, technology, or product, associated with a particular attribute that identifies it as different and deviant, flawed, or undesirable.” (Kasperson, Jhaveri & Kasperson, 2001:19). Human values are thought to be at the root of the stigmatization of certain food production technologies. A systematic analysis of human values was introduced in the seminal book by Milton Rokeach in 1973. He defines values “an enduring belief that a specific mode of conduct or end-state of existence is personally and socially preferable to alternative modes of conduct or end-states of existence.” Values hence transgress situations and time. Later work by Schwartz (1994) has refined the definition of values and developed a value survey instrument that links values to ten different value domains. He arranges these along a two-folded dichotomy of self-enhancement versus self-transgression and openness to change versus conservation. In consequence, some of these values relate to egoistic versus altruistic versus biospheric values. Thereby egoistic values refer to an egocentric orientation, altruistic values refer to a homocentric orientation and biospheric values refer to an ecocentric orientation (De Groot & Steg, 2008).

description: Mobile phones provide a powerful sensing platform that researchers may adopt to understand proximity interactions among people and the diffusion, through these interactions, of diseases, behaviors, and opinions. However, it remains a challenge to track the proximity-based interactions of a whole community and then model the social diffusion of diseases and behaviors starting from the observations of a small fraction of the volunteer population. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that tries to connect together these sparse observations using a model of how individuals interact with each other and how social interactions happen in terms of a sequence of proximity interactions. We apply our approach to track the spreading of flu in the spatial-proximity network of a 3000-people university campus by mobilizing 300 volunteers from this population to monitor nearby mobile phones through Bluetooth scanning and to daily report flu symptoms about and around them. Our aim is to predict the likelihood for an individual to get flu based on how often her/his daily routine intersects with those of the volunteers. Thus, we use the daily routines of the volunteers to build a model of the volunteers as well as of the non-volunteers. Our results show that we can predict flu infection two weeks ahead of time with an average precision from 0.24 to 0.35 depending on the amount of information. This precision is six to nine times higher than with a random guess model. At the population level, we can predict infectious population in a two-week window with an r-squared value of 0.95 (a random-guess model obtains an r-squared value of 0.2). These results point to an innovative approach for tracking individuals who have interacted with people showing symptoms, allowing us to warn those in danger of infection and to inform health researchers about the progression of contact-induced diseases.

description: We report the first Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) measurements of diffuse O VI (lambda,lambda 1032,1038) emission from the general diffuse interstellar medium outside of supernova remnants or superbubbles. We observed a 30arcsec x 30arcsec region of the sky centered at l = 315 and b = -41. From the observed intensities (2930+/-290(random)+/-410(systematic) and 1790+/-260(random)+/-250(systematic) photons/cm/cm/s/sr in the 1032 and 1038 Angstrom emission lines, respectively), derived equations, and assumptions about the source location, we calculate the intrinsic intensity, electron density, thermal pressure, and emitting depth. The intensities are too large for the emission to originate solely in the Local Bubble. Thus, we conclude that the Galactic thick disk and lower halo also contribute. High velocity clouds are ruled out because there are none near the pointing direction. The calculated emitting depth is small, indicating that the O VI-bearing gas fills a small volume. The observations can also be used to estimate the cooling rate of the hot interstellar medium and constrain models. The data also yield the first intensity measurement of the C II 3s2 S1/2 to 2p2 P3/2 emission line at 1037 Angstroms and place upper limits on the intensities of ultraviolet line emission from C I, C III, Si II, S III, S IV, S VI, and Fe III.

description: Based on an online discrete choice experiment (DCE) this study investigates the relative importance of food label information (country of origin, production methods, chemical residue testing (CRT)) and price for Taiwanese consumers’ in their purchase of sweet peppers. Results show that respondents focus mostly on the COO labeling during their sweet-pepper shopping, followed by price. Information concerning CRT results and production methods are of less importance. Our findings also indicate that interaction between attributes matter and that preference for attribute levels differs depending on socioeconomic characteristics.

description: We present here results of studies of the properties of galaxies located in very low density environments. We observed 26 blue compact galaxies (BCGs) from the Second Byurakan (SBS) and Case surveys located in voids with the radial velocities V < 11000 km/s, two BCGs in the void behind the Virgo cluster and 11 BCGs in denser environments. HI fluxes and profile widths, as well as estimates of total HI masses, are presented for the 27 detected galaxies (of which 6 are in three galaxy pairs and are not resolved by the radiotelescope beam). Preliminary comparisons of void BCGs with similar objects from intermediate density regions - in the general field and the Local Supercluster (sub-samples of BCGs in the SBS zone) and in the dense environment of the Virgo Cluster (a BCD sample) - are performed using the hydrogen-to-blue-luminosity ratio M(HI)/L_B. We find that for the same blue luminosity, for M_B > -18.0, BCGs in lower density environment have on average more HI. The slope (beta) of the M(HI)/L_B proportional to L^(beta) for BCGs shows a trend of steepening with decreasing bright galaxy density, being very close to zero for the densest environment considered here and reaching (beta) = -0.4 for voids.

description: The investigation of polarized light of protoplanetary disks is key for constraining the dust properties, disk morphology and embedded magnetic fields. However, different polarization mechanisms and the diversity of dust grain shapes and compositions lead to ambiguities in the polarization pattern. The so-called "self-scattering" of thermal, re-emitted radiation in the infrared and mm/submm is discussed as a major polarization mechanism. If the net flux of the radiation field is in radial direction, it is commonly assumed that the polarization pattern produced by scattering in a protoplanetary disk shows concentric rings for disks seen in face-on orientation. We show that a flip of $90^\circ$ of the polarization vectors may occur and mimic the typical pattern of dichroic emission of dust grains aligned by a toroidal magnetic field in disks seen close to face-on. Furthermore, this effect of polarization reversal is a fast changing function of wavelength and grain size, and thus a powerful tool to constrain grain composition and size distribution present in protoplanetary disks. In addition, the effect may also provide unique constraints for the disk inclination, especially if the disk is seen close to face-on.

By this they mean that on an $M\times N$ square lattice the number of distinct site configurations that allow for vertical percolation is odd. We report here an alternative proof, based on recursive use of geometric symmetry, for both free and periodic boundary conditions.

description: The issues being addressed in this paper are as follows. Has there been significant change in cost of groundwater pumping due to diesel price shock in regions where it matters? If so, how that has impacted millions of irrigation water buyers? How farmers respond to increase in irrigation costs? Such responses include: how the well owning farmers change their farming enterprise, including the farming system itself; how their willingness to take risk changes, and finally, how the economic prospects of irrigated farming itself changes as a result? It is found that the impact of diesel price on irrigation cost incurred by diesel well owners is not significant. One reason for this is that the regions which are heavily dependent on diesel pumps for irrigation have shallow groundwater table. Also, this burden is not passed on to the water buyers owing to increasing competition and reducing monopoly power of pump owners. The analysis of the farming enterprise of irrigators under differential cost (irrigation) regimes presented here shows that farmers would be able to cope with very high rise in irrigation costs through irrigation efficiency improvements and allocating more area under crops that give higher returns per unit of land and water, that enhance the farming returns from every unit of water and energy used. By doing this, they are able to maintain almost the same net returns from farming as in the past. This means, that the rise in cost of diesel in real terms had not made any negative impact on economic prospects of diesel well irrigators, including water buyers.

description: Known from at least the Silurian (c. 435 Ma) up to the Late Cretaceous (c. 85 Ma), thylacocephalans are among the most intriguing fossil euarthropods. They are characterized by a prominent shield enveloping most of the body, hypertrophied compound eyes, three pairs of large, raptorial appendages and a trunk with 8–22 stout segments bearing appendages. Despite this knowledge of their anatomy, the phylogenetic affinities of Thylacocephala are controversial due to a lack of knowledge on their body organization and tagmosis. This study focuses on Mayrocaris bucculata Polz, 1994 from the Solnhofen Lagerstätte, Germany (c. 150 Ma, early Tithonian, Jurassic). We document new specimens of Mayrocaris bucculata from the Solnhofener Plattenkalke sensu lato and provide new descriptions for previously reported specimens. We demonstrate that the raptorial appendages of Thylacocephala are most probably maxillulae, maxillae and maxillipeds. Additionally, we report new details on the posterior trunk appendages, including the description of a paddle-like proximal part and of a rod-like distal part, but also of a specialized terminal trunk appendage. These new findings, in addition to the reinterpretation of a cephalic appendage of Clausocaris lithographica as a possible mandible, are essential for a better understanding of the body organization in thylacocephalans and their phylogenetic affinities within Eucrustacea.

description: The irrigation sector plays a vital role in food production and rural economy. Realizing the importance various reforms are carried out world over to modernize irrigation systems and make them more efficient. One such approach is the decentralization of irrigation management from the government agencies to the end users. This paper looks into the implementation of Irrigation Management Act in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh where partial responsibility of irrigation management was transferred to the end users. Emphasis is given on the administrative, governance, institutional and financial reforms carried out as per the act and the impact these reforms had on the irrigation management. The success of such programs is highly dependent on effectiveness of the execution and the financial resources available with the government which are often limited. Such programs will reap desired benefits, if the end users are involved in more effective manner with greater autonomy and delegation of authority. Also in view of financial scarcity with governments to carry out such large programs, the idea of involving private sector investors in irrigation management may be a good option. Such alternative institutional models can be considered to further improve the overall efficiency and management of the irrigation systems.

description: The purpose of this article is to describe a clinical case where recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) associated with Bio-Oss􏰁 was used in socket preservation. 53-year-old female patient, ASA I, attended the dental clinic presenting a root fracture of the second upper right premolar. The treatment plan consisted of tooth removal and socket preservation with rhGH and Bio-Oss. After 4 months, a tomography scan was performed before implant placement. At the time of the implant placement, a bone sample was sent for histological analysis. The collected material was analyzed histologically and demonstrated mature bone, with areas of neoformation and deposition of bone matrix and the tomographic aspect was of a hypodense image inside the socket. Socket preservation realized with rhGH associated with Bio-Oss􏰁 was able to maintain the three-dimensional dimensions of the sockets, promoting neoformed bone with histological and radiographic features of maturation and was able to reduce the time of treatment.

description: High energy scattering experiments involving nuclei are typically analyzed in terms of light front variables. The desire to provide realistic,relativistic wave functions expressed in terms of these variables led me to try to use light front dynamics to compute nuclear wave functions. Here calculations of infinite nuclear matter in the mean field approximation and also in a light front version of Bruckner theory which includes NN correlations are reviewed. Applications of these wave functions to nuclear deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan processes are discussed. We find that relativistic mean field theory produces no EMC binding effect.

description: This paper discusses emerging water crisis in India with the business as usual water use patterns and ways of averting it. Increasing reliance on groundwater has been contributing to pockets of unsustainable water use in many basins. This trend is likely to continue and many river basins will face severe regional water crisis in the next half century. However, proper understanding of the negative impacts of downstream water users, artificial recharge of groundwater could facilitate sustainable water use. Increasing water use efficiency, reducing uncontrolable pumping, increasing water productivity and crop diversification could help in mitigating the groundwater related water crisis. Growth in industrial, services and domestic sectors, water demand in the future shall outpace additional irrigation. This, coupled with increasing desire for a clean and reliable water supply in these sectors, and increasing focuses on environmental water needs shall demand large intra-or inter-basin water transfers

description: Characterization of data network monitoring registers allows for reductions in the number of data, which is essential when the information flow is high, and implementation of processes with short response times, such as interchange of control information between devices and anomaly detection is required. The present investigation applied wavelet transforms, so as to characterize the statistic monitoring register of a software-defined network. Its main contribution lies in the obtention of a record that, although reduced, retains detailed, essential information for the correct application of anomaly detectors.

description: High population pressure, inappropriate agricultural policies, improper land-use planning, over-dependency on agriculture as source of livelihood and extreme dependence on natural resources are inducing deforestation, overgrazing, expansion of agriculture to marginal lands and steep slopes, declining agricultural productivity and resource-use conflicts in many parts of Blue Nile. Increased land degradation from poor agricultural practices and erosion results in increased siltation and the reduced water quality in the river basin. The rainfall, runoff and sediment are highly variable both in time and space. Poor water and land management upstream severely affect runoff characteristics and the quality of water reaching downstream. The result is a downward spiral of poverty and food insecurity for millions of people both within the upper catchment and downstream across international borders. Quantification of the erosion, sedimentation processes and evaluation of impacts of interventions are difficult tasks. This paper schematizes the Blue Nile Basin (BNB) at various spatial levels as micro watershed, watershed, sub-basin to basin. It considers a particular watershed to model runoff, sediment and impact of watershed intervention. The result shows that runoff can be reasonably simulated with calibration of R2=0.87 and validation of result of 0.82, and comparable sediment modelling results. The study also demonstrates, by undertaking spatial analysis using topographic, soil and land use parameters it is possible to identify the high sediment risk sub-watersheds. Impact of typical watershed intervention using various widths of vegetative filter and application on high erosion risk watersheds show reduction of sediment yield from 52% to 74%

description: The density of states for an extended MIT bag model is studied numerically by using a parameterized smooth representation which provides the best fit to the numerical data. It is found that the mass dependence of the surface term in the density of states agrees with that derived from multi-reflection theory calculation. The mass dependence of the curvature term in the density of states is extracted for finite values of the quark mass. The scaling properties of the data, assumed in the parameterization, are studied. The difference between the parameterized smooth representation determined by a best fit and the results derived from direct smoothing of the numerical data are discussed. The fluctuations in the density of states are also discussed. We provide a smooth representation of the density of states of a spherical cavity for non-relativistic particles.

Global regularity for solutions of the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with almost two dimensional initial data

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In this paper, we will prove a new result that guarantees the global existence of solutions to the Navier--Stokes equation in three dimensions when the initial data is sufficiently close to being two dimensional. This result interpolates between the global existence of smooth solutions for the two dimensional Navier--Stokes equation with arbitrarily large initial data, and the global existence of smooth solutions for the Navier--Stokes equation in three dimensions with small initial data in $\dot{H}^\frac{1}{2}$. This result states that the closer the initial data is to being two dimensional, the larger the initial data can be in $\dot{H}^\frac{1}{2}$ while still guaranteeing the global existence of smooth solutions. In the whole space, this set of almost two dimensional initial data is unbounded in the critical space $\dot{H}^\frac{1}{2},$ but is bounded in the critical Besov spaces $\dot{B}^{-1+\frac{3}{p}}_{p,\infty}$ for all $2

description: The United States may be losing its leadership role in the world wheat market. Rising trading volume in foreign futures markets and shifting shares of world trade are suggested as evidence of this shift, but neither necessitates that futures markets in the United States are any less important for wheat price discovery. This paper applies market microstructure methods including the Yan and Zivot (2010) information leadership share to estimate the proportion of price discovery occurring in wheat futures markets in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Paris. We find that United States markets still dominate wheat price discovery, although the share of price discovery for the Paris market jumped noticeably in 2010 coinciding with major supply shocks in Russia and Ukraine.
Synchronized Wavelength-Swept Signal Transmission and its Ability to Evade Optical Reflection Crosstalk

description: Coherent homodyne detection requires a precise matching of emission wavelengths between transmitter and local oscillator at the receiver. Injection-locking can provide all-optical synchronization of the emission frequencies, even under wavelength-swept emission. By adapting the sweep parameters to the conditions in the optical fiber plant, transmission impairments can be mitigated. In this regard I experimentally demonstrate that a wavelength-hopping yet locked transceiver pair, which builds on conceptually simple externally modulated laser technology, features a much higher robustness to reflection crosstalk. The reception penalty due to distortions arising at a Fresnel reflection in the transmission path can be reduced by >90% at a low optical signal-to-reflection ratio of ~0 dB.

description: This paper examines whether competition in major export markets for United States beef has changed between 1994 and 2015 and whether underlying cattle inventories impact that competition. The two models employed examine price markups and comparative advantage. Both models are estimated as systems of equations taking into account competitors in eight major beef export markets. Structural break tests of key functions of the two models are examined. The findings complement each other showing that inventories do have some impact on competition, but that the markets are mostly highly competitive, and that the level of competition the U.S. faced in 2015 is not significantly different than it was twenty years prior.
