description: With the rapid emergence of deep learning (DL) technology, it has been successfully used in various fields including aquaculture. This change can create new opportunities and a series of challenges for information and data processing in smart fish farming. This paper focuses on the applications of DL in aquaculture, including live fish identification, species classification, behavioral analysis, feeding decision-making, size or biomass estimation, water quality prediction. In addition, the technical details of DL methods applied to smart fish farming are also analyzed, including data, algorithms, computing power, and performance. The results of this review show that the most significant contribution of DL is the ability to automatically extract features. However, challenges still exist; DL is still in an era of weak artificial intelligence. A large number of labeled data are needed for training, which has become a bottleneck restricting further DL applications in aquaculture. Nevertheless, DL still offers breakthroughs in the handling of complex data in aquaculture. In brief, our purpose is to provide researchers and practitioners with a better understanding of the current state of the art of DL in aquaculture, which can provide strong support for the implementation of smart fish farming.

description: Intrinsic Josephson junctions in high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 are known for their capability to emit high-power terahertz photons with widely tunable frequencies. Hotspots, as inhomogeneous temperature distributions across the junctions, are believed to play a critical role in synchronizing the gauge-invariant phase difference among the junctions, so as to achieve coherent strong emission. Previous optical imaging techniques have indirectly suggested that the hotspot temperature can go higher than the superconductor critical temperature. However, such optical approaches often disturb the local temperature profile and are too slow for device applications. In this paper, we demonstrate an on-chip in situ sensing technique that can precisely quantify the local temperature profile. This is achieved by fabricating a series of micro "sensor" junctions on top of an "emitter" junction and measuring the critical current on the sensors versus the bias current applied to the emitter. This fully electronic on-chip design could enable efficient close-loop control of hotspots in BSCCO junctions and significantly enhance the functionality of superconducting terahertz emitters.

 Anomalophylla Reitter, 1887: 231; Reitter 1896: 180.
 Type species. Anomalophylla tristicula Reitter, 1887 (by monotypy).
 Junior synonym: Melaserica Brenske, 1897: 355; type species Melaserica thibetana Brenske, 1897, by subsequent designation (Ahrens 2004); synonymized by Dalla Torre 1912: 36.
 Junior synonym: Xorema Reitter, 1902: 147; type species Anomalophylla thibetana Reitter, 1902, by subsequent designation (Ahrens 2004); synonymized by Nikolaev 1982: 285.
 Diagnosis. Antenna with 10 antennomeres, antennal club in male with five antennomeres, in female with three antennomeres. Base of the pronotum with a fine marginal line. Lateral margin of protibia bidentate. Anterior angles of labroclypeus strongly rounded. Dorsal surface sparsely minutely setose or with dense, erect setae. The monophyly of Anomalophylla is supported by a number of apomorphies (Ahrens accepted): (1) basal tooth of interior protarsal claw widened in comparison to that of external protarsal claw; (2) tegument of abdominal sternites (60x magnification) with fine mesh pattern formed by microtrichomes; (3) median longitudinal impression on last and penultimate abdominal sternite present; and (4) phallobase laterally at left side (at least) weakly produced. Anomalophylla differs from the similar Omaloplia by the antennal club with four antennomeres in male and by glabrous parameres; it may be distinguished from similar species of Microserica by the above­mentioned apomorphies as well as by the dull pygidium of female.

description: We consider the family of CM-fields which are pro-p p-adic Lie extensions of number fields of dimension at least two, which contain the cyclotomic Z_p-extension, and which are ramified at only finitely many primes. We show that the Galois groups of the maximal unramified abelian pro-p extensions of these fields are not always pseudo-null as Iwasawa modules for the Iwasawa algebras of the given p-adic Lie groups. The proof uses Kida's formula for the growth of lambda-invariants in cyclotomic Z_p-extensions of CM-fields. In fact, we give a new proof of Kida's formula which includes a slight weakening of the usual assumption that mu is trivial. This proof uses certain exact sequences involving Iwasawa modules in procyclic extensions. These sequences are derived in an appendix by the second author.

Information asymmetry and economic concentration: The case of hens and eggs in eastern Indonesia

Year: 2003
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: Eggs have been important elements of cooking and nutrition in Indonesia for centuries, mostly supplied from ducks and backyard chickens. Consumption of layer eggs has increased 12-fold over the past 30 years, and prices are lowered in central areas of the country. In the outer islands, however, layer egg prices are high and eggs are of lower quality. This report aims to discuss why concentration of chicken feed and egg production is maintained in the central areas of the country, while malnutrition, poverty and unemployment are high and increasing in areas without commercial feed and egg production. The difference is great between those who know and those who do not in the Indonesian poultry industry. Potential gains from information acquisition are not reflected in efficient markets for information, knowledge and skills. Information markets are not established because there are neither suppliers of nor any substantial demand for the competence that could be used by new commercial egg producers at peripheral sites of production. Lowering entry barriers into poultry feed and layer egg production is mainly a question of competence, and policy recommendations include improved dissemination of information and knowledge through schooling systems and local government extension services.

description: We study the effect of spatial dispersion of crystal modes on optical properties such as the reflectivity $R$. As an example for isotropic media, we investigate the simplest model for phonons in ionic crystals and compare with previous results for highly anisotropic plasmons, which are now understood from a more general point of view. As a consequence of the wave vector dependence of the dielectric function small changes in the lineshape are predicted. Beyond that, if the frequency of minimal $R$ is near a pole of the dispersionless dielectric function, the relative amplitude of dips in $R$ with normal and anomalous dispersion differ significantly, if dissipation and disorder are low.

description: The present study shows how to use a simulation approach to quantify the effects of making a futures market available on adopting farmers' behavior and welfare, and its impact on market variables such as spot prices. Relevant constraints often faced by commodity producers, such as credit restrictions or lack of markets for staple crops, are explicitly considered. Aggregate market effects associated with the adoption of futures by a group of producers are also incorporated. Under the chosen parameterizations, futures availability affects various aspects of adopters' behavior. Futures availability renders consumers better off and non-adopting producers worse off. Farmers who adopt futures gain if their market share is small, but lose if their market share is large. However, the magnitudes of adopters' gains or losses are quite small, especially when compared to the welfare effects resulting from alternative changes in the market environment faced by farmers, such as the relaxation of credit restrictions or the opening of a market for food crops. The impact of making futures available on the spot market is quite modest, regardless of whether the share of adopters is small or large.

Teacher experiences incorporating Aboriginal knowledges and pedagogy into their practice
Creators: name: Li, Kevin
name: Thomas, Catherine
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of teachers in two Lower Mainland school districts as they incorporate Aboriginal knowledges and pedagogy into their practice. The BC Ministry of Education, in the process of updating the K- 12 curriculum has stated that teachers need to incorporate ‘Aboriginal ways of knowing’ into their practice. Across Canada including the Richmond and Vancouver School Districts, students who identify as Aboriginal are less likely to graduate High School than their non- Aboriginal peers. In Richmond and Vancouver, Aboriginal students consistently report having more negative school experiences than their peers. The research consisted of eight interviews with elementary and secondary teachers from the Richmond and Vancouver School Districts. It finds that there is a widespread lack of knowledge and confusion about Aboriginal knowledges and pedagogy. Experienced teachers feel overwhelmed at the thought of incorporating Aboriginal knowledges and pedagogy respectfully into their practice. Furthermore, non-Aboriginal teachers have feelings of guilt about the legacy of the residential school system. An additional group of teachers was identified as those who are resistant to the incorporation of Aboriginal knowledges and pedagogy. Recommendations include supporting the teachers who are interested in incorporating Aboriginal knowledges and pedagogy into their practice in becoming ambassadors who will promote discussion in staff rooms and disseminate knowledge. Other recommendations are increased engagement with the Aboriginal community and the development of links between Faculties of Education, which are now including undergraduate courses about incorporating ‘Aboriginal ways of knowing’ for teacher candidates and Boards of Education.

description: We investigate the influence of a laser field, which is near-resonant to the atomic sodium 3$^2$P$_{1/2}$ $\to$ 3$^2$D$_{3/2}$ transition, on the last bound levels of the A$^1Σ^+_u$ state in Na$_2$. In a molecular beam experiment level shifts up to $\approx$ 100 MHz and light induced line broadenings were observed using an optical double resonance excitation scheme. Moreover, the coupling laser can reduce the number of bound levels of the A state by one or more units, which effectively means that in the picture of a collision of a 3$^2$S$_{1/2}$ and a 3$^2$P$_{1/2}$-atom the scattering phase is altered by more than $π$. The observed effects are interpreted as light induced couplings of the A$^1Σ^+_u$ state, which correlates to the 3s$_{1/2}$+3p$_{1/2}$ asymptote, to the $4^1Σ^+_g$ and $2^1Π_g$ states at the 3s$_{1/2}$+3d$_{3/2}$ asymptote. We performed multi-channel calculations, applying the mapped Fourier grid method, which reproduce our experimentally observed level shifts well.

description: This paper aims to provide an overview of issues associated with the economics of food safety in developing countries. It is intended to highlight the major questions and concerns associated with an economic analysis of food safety issues, both generally and specifically in a developing country context. Thus, it provides an overview of these issues and highlights key references for readers that wish to explore these issues in greater depth.The paper provides a basic over view of what is meant by food safety, highlighting the main hazards potentially associated with food. It assesses the burden imposed on developing countries, both in terms of rates of human morbidity and premature mortality and the economic and social costs imposed on developing societies. In so doing, the paucity of data on the magnitude of food-borne illness in developing countries is highlighted. The ways in which markets may fail to provide for an appropriate level of food safety, and thus the case for government regulation, are than discussed. Much of the remainder of the paper than explores the key elements of food safety capacity and analysis attempts by developing country governments to enhance their capacity in strategic areas in some depth. It concludes by suggesting positive ways forward through which the capacity of developing countries to manage food safety, both for the protection of their domestic populations and promotion of trade in agricultural and food products, can be enhanced.

description: Valley selective hybridization and residual coupling of electronic states in commensurate van der Waals heterobilayers enable the control of the orbital character of interlayer excitons. We demonstrate electric field control of layer index, orbital character, lifetime and emission energy of indirect excitons in MoS2/WS2 heterobilayers embedded in an vdW field effect structure. Different excitonic dipoles normal to the layers are found to stem from bound electrons and holes located in different valleys of MoS2/WS2 with a valley selective degree of hybridization. For the energetically lowest emission lines, coupling of electronic states causes a field-dependent level anticrossing that goes along with a change of the IX lifetime from 400 ns to 100 ns. In the hybridized regime the exiton is delocalized between the two constituent layers, whereas for large positive or negative electric fields, the layer index of the bound hole is field-dependent. Our results demonstrate the design of novel van der Waals solids with the possibility to in-situ control their physical properties via external stimuli such as electric fields.

description: Thermal rectification which is a diode-like behavior of heat flux has been studied over a long time. However, a universal and systematic physical description is still lacking. In this letter, a perturbation theory of thermal rectification is developed, which provides an analytical formula of the thermal rectification ratio. It reveals the linear relationship between the thermal rectification ratio and temperature difference. Furthermore, the size-dependence of the thermal rectification relies on the specific form of the thermal conductivity. In addition, several experimental and numerical observations in previous literatures are well explained. This theory can be applicable to any system in which a differentiable effective thermal conductivity can be derived, and is helpful to unveil general principle for thermal rectification.

description: Beetroot juice (BRJ) has become increasingly popular amongst athletes aiming to improve sport performances. BRJ contains high concentrations of nitrate, which can be converted into nitric oxide (NO) after consumption. NO has various functions in the human body, including a vasodilatory effect, which reduces blood pressure and increases oxygen- and nutrient delivery to various organs. These effects indicate that BRJ may have relevant applications in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, the consumption of BRJ also has an impact on oxygen delivery to skeletal muscles, muscle efficiency, tolerance and endurance and may thus have a positive impact on sports performances. Aside from the beneficial aspects of BRJ consumption, there may also be potential health risks. Drinking BRJ may easily increase nitrate intake above the acceptable daily intake, which is known to stimulate the endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds (NOC’s), a class of compounds that is known to be carcinogenic and that may also induce several other adverse effects. Compared to studies on the beneficial effects, the amount of data and literature on the negative effects of BRJ is rather limited, and should be increased in order to perform a balanced risk assessment.

Atomic solutions are compared with reference data and HCP titanium is used as a representative band problem, where results are compared with those obtained using the full-potential augmented plane-wave code fleur. Self-consist update of the core density is shown to be less important than the correct incorporation of charge leaking form the core into the interstitial.

description: Let $G$ be a complex simply-laced semisimple algebraic group of rank $r$ and $B$ a Borel subgroup. Let $\mathbf i \in [r]^n$ be a word and let $\mathbf \ell = (\ell_1,\dots,\ell_n)$ be a sequence of non-negative integers. Grossberg and Karshon introduced a virtual lattice polytope associated to $\mathbf i$ and $\mathbf \ell$ called a twisted cube, whose lattice points encode the character of a $B$-representation. More precisely, lattice points in the twisted cube, counted with sign according to a certain density function, yields the character of the generalized Demazure module determined by $\mathbf i$ and $\mathbf \ell$. In recent work, the author and Harada described precisely when the Grossberg-Karshon twisted cube is untwisted, i.e., the twisted cube is a closed convex polytope, in the situation when the integer sequence $\mathbf \ell$ comes from a weight $λ$ of $G$. However, not every integer sequence $\mathbf \ell$ comes from a weight of $G$. In the present paper, we interpret untwistedness of Grossberg-Karshon twisted cubes associated to any word $\mathbf i$ and any integer sequence $\mathbf \ell$ using the combinatorics of $\mathbf i$ and $\mathbf \ell$. Indeed, we prove that the Grossberg-Karshon twisted cube is untwisted precisely when $\mathbf i$ is hesitant-jumping-$\mathbf \ell$-walk-avoiding.

description: This paper deals with the phenomenon of leadership and more specifically the phenomenon of empowering leadership. The purpose of this work is the extensive analysis of this leadership, the investigation of previous research as well as its correlation with work factors such as challenging work and innovative work behavior. A literature review of leadership, modern leadership styles and empowering leadership as well as the two variables being researched has been done. Quantitative research was also conducted through a questionnaire (five-point Likert scale), the usefulness of empowerment leadership is highlighted and its effectiveness is highlighted on a practical level in companies and organizations. The data of the questionnaire was obtained from 109 employees of the car supply chain and after sales of car spare parts, while the companies that distributed the questionnaires were seven. The findings from the research confirm the research hypotheses of the work, pointing out a positive correlation of the empowering leadership with the innovative work behavior, having as a mediating factor the challenging work. Finally, suggestions are made for future research on this work as well as practical proposals that can make a positive contribution to organizations as well as references to research limitations

description: This graduating paper explores a selection of scholarly articles about Aboriginal early childhood education in Canada with specific focus made on enriching ecological systems theory with Aboriginal epistemological concepts of Spirit, Heart, Mind, and Body as a foundation for the construction of a culturally specific early learning curriculum. The specific themes encountered are: Eurocentric education and assessment used as cultural suppression, the need for early childhood education to support Aboriginal children in both dominant and traditional contexts (Spirit), local community driven curriculum development and Heritage language instruction and support (Heart), and the importance of a culturally based Indigenous pedagogy and epistemology (Mind/Body). The author concludes that based upon this review it is vitally important for the success of Aboriginal children and communities that individual Aboriginal communities and Nations develop a culturally specific early learning curriculum.

description: Propaganda aims at influencing people's mindset with the purpose of advancing a specific agenda. Previous work has addressed propaganda detection at the document level, typically labelling all articles from a propagandistic news outlet as propaganda. Such noisy gold labels inevitably affect the quality of any learning system trained on them. A further issue with most existing systems is the lack of explainability. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel task: performing fine-grained analysis of texts by detecting all fragments that contain propaganda techniques as well as their type. In particular, we create a corpus of news articles manually annotated at the fragment level with eighteen propaganda techniques and we propose a suitable evaluation measure. We further design a novel multi-granularity neural network, and we show that it outperforms several strong BERT-based baselines.

description: We sketch applications of the so-called J-equation to quantum information theory concerning fundamental properties of the von Neumann entropy. The J-equation has recently be proposed as a sort of progenitor of the various versions of the Jarzynski equation. It has been derived within a general framework of sequential measurements that is slightly generalised here.

description: In this, the 2nd revision of the ?UK HPC Integration Market?, we consider the multitude of issues faced by an organisation when deciding how best to procure, maintain and maximise the usage of a given HPC resource. In over-viewing the current HPC landscape, we concentrate on the potential role of HPC integrators in any partnership that looks to maximise this entire process, and whether such organisations based primarily in the UK have the ability to provide the necessary level of expertise required in all phases of the process, from procurement, through installation onto ongoing support of the resource throughout its life cycle. We consider how current HPC technology roadmaps might impinge on the role of integrators in responding to the undoubted challenges that lie ahead. Crucial issues when considering potential integrator involvement include both size of the hardware solution i.e., number of cores, number of nodes, and the ongoing robustness of open source software solutions that might be deployed on these platforms. Informed by developments over the past 12 months associated with the deployment of systems funded under SRIF, the Scientific Research Investment Fund, we provide an in-depth analysis of the current status and capability of a number of the leading HPC Integrators within the UK. Our primary attention is given to the four major companies who supply the academic community and hence are well known to us ? Streamline Computing, ClusterVision, OCF and Compusys. Six other integrators are also considered, albeit with less rigour. It should be emphasised that all the information in Section 3 is provided directly by the companies and do not necessarily reflect the views of STFC. With the exception of Cambridge On-line systems and Silicon Mechanics, the information in Section 4 has been obtained from the Cluster Integrator?s official websites. The document concludes with a 10-point summary of important considerations when procuring HPC clusters (mid-to-high-end compute clusters). If the reader has questions regarding issues raised in the document, or requires further feedback they are encouraged to contact us directly ? details are available on our website and in Appendix C.
Incommensurate state in a quasi-one-dimensional $S=1/2$ bond-alternating antiferromagnet with frustration in magnetic fields

description: We investigate the critical properties of the $S=1/2$ bond-alternating spin chain with a next-nearest-neighbor interaction in magnetic fields. By the numerical calculation and the exact solution based on the effective Hamiltonian, we show that there is a parameter region where the longitudinal incommensurate spin correlation becomes dominant around the half-magnetization of the saturation. Possible interpretations of our results are discussed. We next investigate the effects of the interchain interaction ($J^{\prime}$). The staggered susceptibility and the uniform magnetization are calculated by combining the density-matrix renormalization group method with the interchain mean-field theory. For the parameters where the dominant longitudinal incommensurate spin correlation appears in the case $J^{\prime}=0$, the staggered long-range order does not emerge up to a certain critical value of $J^{\prime}$ around the half-magnetization of the saturation. We calculate the static structure factor in such a parameter region. The size dependence of the static structure factor at $k=2k_{\rm F}$ implies that the system has a tendency to form an incommensurate long-range order around the half-magnetization of the saturation. We discuss the recent experimental results for the NMR relaxation rate in magnetic fields performed for pentafluorophenyl nitronyl nitroxide.

description: The effect of nucleon dressing by pions, on the binding energy of three nucleons interacting via two-body forces, is calculated for the first time within a conventional nuclear physics approach. It is found that the dressing increases the binding energy of the triton by an amount approximately in the range from 0.3 MeV to 0.9 MeV, depending on the model used for dressing. This suggests that nucleon dressing may help explain the underestimation of the triton binding energy in previous calculations using only two-nucleon forces.
