description: Despite the continuous increase in the number of organic farms and in the areas in which organic methods are used, organic farming remains a niche sector, not only in Poland but also in other European countries. Nevertheless, a form of organic farming can still be attractive for part of farmers, particularly in view of the continuing financial support for this sector. This paper presents the state of organic farming in Poland and the production and economic conditions of agricultural production using the example of major agricultural production activities in organic farms. The results based on Agricultural Products Data Collection System AGROKOSZTY shows that the organic agricultural production is profitable and economically justified. In comparison with conventional production the low level of direct costs in organic production leads very often to higher level of gross margin from particular agricultural activities. The combination of low level of total costs and financial support for organic production gives organic farmers the higher level of income from each studied activity. The production capacity is limited but the production results seems to be not that important in organic farming than the balance between economic results, social conditions and environmental requirements.

description: This study investigates mental rotation performance of adolescent female dancers and soccer players in object-based and egocentric mental rotation tasks using human body stimuli. 60 young females, 30 soccer players, and 30 dancers (not twosome), completed a chronometric mental rotation task with object-based and egocentric transformation of male and female figures, which were displayed either in front or back view. During their sport-specific activity soccer-players and dancers very often have to adapt their movements to the movement of a partner or opponent, soccer-players especially in front view positions. While for soccer-players reaction time (RT) often is crucial for sporting success, dancers mainly focus on the accuracy of their movements. Therefore, we expect significantly faster RTs for soccer players for front view stimuli but no differences between soccer players and dancers for back view stimuli. The main result was that soccer-players showed a significantly shorter RT than dancers for stimuli presented in front view in object based and egocentric transformation. There was no such difference, when the stimuli were presented in the back view. Contrary to literature we didn’t find significantly higher RTs and error rates for stimuli presented in front view compared to back view in general but only for egocentric transformations. The results of this study show that specific sports affect individual aspects of mental rotation performance.

description: At the end of the XX century, in the countries with developed market economy is more and more present the assertion that beyond its fundamental function (production of food and fibbers), agriculture can create landscapes, manage to the non-renewable natural resources and environmental protection, and can also contribute to the socio-economic development of the rural areas. Within the European Union countries (EU), rural policy as a starting point has renewal of all links between agriculture and nature in order to secure sustainable development, protect the agro-environment and preserve the food quality and safety. Based on that, the concept of agriculture sustainability was developed (or bio-economy), integrated into the concept of sustainable development of the whole economy. Survival and development of modern agriculture have found at crossroad, faced with the essential requirements of economic and environmental efficiency achievement, in other words profitability of production with minimal risk of environment damage. The process of EU enlargement and perspectives for Serbia, which derive from that, refer to the fact that in future development of domestic farms, business economics will occupy one of the crucial positions. Accordingly, the manager of agricultural husbandry must use appropriate methods, techniques and models for economic sustainability of agriculture evaluation, in order to be sure that financial assets of the farm are correctly invested (that they will achieve the best results). According the importance of natural resources, significance of agriculture, as well as strategic priority of its effectiveness and sustainability for the development of the Upper Danube region (in other words Sombor city and Apatin and Bač municipalities), therefore in this paper evaluation of economic sustainability on the family husbandries within the aforementioned protected zone in the Republic of Serbia was presented. Considering microeconomic character of this work, the IDEA methodology (Indicateurs de Durabilité des Exploitations Agricoles) was used.

description: The structural, magnetic and dielectric properties have been investigated in 3$d$-5$d$ based double perovskite Sr$_2$FeIrO$_6$ thin films deposited by pulse laser deposition technique. To understand the effect of strain, epitaxial films are grown with varying thickness as well as on different substrates i.e., SrTiO$_3$ (100) and LaAlO$_3$ (100). The films with highest thickness are found to be more relaxed. Atomic force microscope images indicate all films are of good quality where grain sizes increase with increase in film thickness. X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements indicate a Ir$^{5+}$ charge state in present films while providing a detailed picture of hybridization between Fe/Ir-$d$ and O-$p$ orbitals. The bulk antiferromagnetic transition is retained in films though the transition temperature shifts to higher temperature. Both dielectric constant ($ε_r$) and loss ($\tanδ$) show change around the magnetic ordering temperatures of bulk Sr$_2$FeIrO$_6$ indicating a close relation between dielectric and magnetic behaviors. A Maxwell-Wagner type relaxation is found to follow over whole frequency range down to low temperature in present film. On changing the substrate i.e., LaAlO$_3$ (100), the $ε_r(T)$ and ($\tanδ(T)$) show almost similar behavior but $ε_r$ shows a higher value which is due to an increased strain coming from high mismatch of lattice parameters.

description: The seminal work of DiPerna and Lions [Invent. Math., 98, 1989] guarantees the existence and uniqueness of regular Lagrangian flows for Sobolev vector fields. The latter is a suitable selection of trajectories of the related ODE satisfying additional compressibility/semigroup properties. A long-standing open question is whether the uniqueness of the regular Lagrangian flow is a corollary of the uniqueness of the trajectory of the ODE for a.e. initial datum. Using Ambrosio's superposition principle we relate the latter to the uniqueness of positive solutions of the continuity equation and we then provide a negative answer using tools introduced by Modena and Székelyhidi in the recent groundbreaking work [Ann. PDE, 4, 2018]. On the opposite side, we introduce a new class of asymmetric Lusin-Lipschitz inequalities and use them to prove the uniqueness of positive solutions of the continuity equation in an integrability range which goes beyond the DiPerna-Lions theory.

description: Knowledge flow systems are an essential component of Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS). A traditional view of a knowledge flow system would include research as a source of knowledge, extension and education as knowledge and information channels, and agricultural entrepreneurs as recipients of knowledge. More recently, this ‘linear’ view has been widely challenged, and in view of this the European Union is proposing a new approach to encouraging innovation in agriculture in the 2014-2020 programming period. This paper assesses the nature of knowledge flows through the AKIS in Hungary, and looks at the factors that encourage and discourage these. It concludes that to more effectively encourage innovation the functioning of the AKIS in Hungary must be improved and makes six recommendations: (a) a comprehensive review of the AKIS in Hungary should be conducted; (b) the present system of incentives for knowledge flow through the AKIS should be urgently reviewed; (c) future planning should be based on a state-of-the-art understanding of AKIS as multi-actor networks rather than simply as a unidirectional linear flow; (d) new models should be developed and tested on the basis of experience from other EU Member States; (e) monitoring of the performance of the AKIS in Hungary should be improved; and (f) an annual report on the performance of the AKIS should be prepared by the Hungarian government and submitted to Parliament.

description: High speed mid-wave infrared (MWIR) photodetectors have important applications in the emerging areas such high-precision frequency comb spectroscopy and light detection and ranging (LIDAR). In this work, we report a high-speed room-temperature mid-wave infrared interband cascade photodetector (ICIP) based on a type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice. The devices show an optical cut-off wavelength around 5um and a 3-dB bandwidth up to 7.04 GHz. The relatively low dark current density around 9.39 x 10-2 A/cm2 under -0.1 V is also demonstrated at 300 K. These results validate the advantages of ICIPs to achieve both high-frequency operation and low noise at room temperature. Limitations on the high-speed performance of the detector are also discussed based on the S-parameter analysis and other RF performance measurement.

description: El olivar lleva a cabo una funcion ambiental que puede verse alterada por las tecnicas de cultivo que se practiquen. Dentro de estas, el tipo de manejo que se realize para el control de la vegetacion arvense puede variar de manera significativa el desarrollo de esta funcion y, por lo tanto, la provision de bienes publicos ambientales. Mediante la tecnica multicriterio del Proceso Analitico Jerarquico (AHP) un grupo d expertos realiza una ordenacion de las tecnicas de manejo del suelo mas frecuentes en la actualidad, con el objetivo de extraer cual de ellas supone una mejor provision de dichos bienes publicos. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian los efectos positivos que sobre el medio ambiente tiene el mantenimiento de cubiertas en general, y su control mediante desbrozado en particular. The environmental function of olive groves can be modified by crop practices. In this sense, soil management practices are probably the most important ones, because of their influence over a worrying problem in agriculture: soil erosion. In addition, these practices can also modify the provision of other environmental public goods. This paper seeks to identify what are the most appropriate soil practices in olive growing to carry out a good environmental function. We use the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in order to obtain a ranking of these practices through experts' priorities. The results show the positive environmental effect of the maintenance of spontaneous cover crops during winter, specially if they are controlled by mowering.

Principles and applications of affinity capillary electrophoresis based on mass transfer equation
Creators: name: Fang, Ning
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Unified separation science not only describes the separation process of each technique, but is also instrumental to the further development of separation science. Previous developments of the theory have focused on macroscopic (often average) properties of separation systems: the average analyte migration rate, the steady state, resolution, sensitivity, precision, etc. On the other hand, microscopic/instantaneous behaviors are essential to understand complex phenomena, such as dynamic complexation, sweeping/stacking of sample analytes, and buffer depletion. Computer simulation is one of the best ways to visualize the instantaneous behaviors of chemical/physical systems. The simulation model of dynamic complexation capillary electrophoresis (SimDCCE) is based on the differential mass transfer equation, the governing principle of analyte migration in all separation techniques. SimDCCE is highly efficient, and is the first to demonstrate the affinity interactions in capillary electrophoresis (CE) in real time or faster. SimDCCE is one big step towards the ultimate goal: the unified computer simulation of all separation techniques. Using SimDCCE, a thorough study of affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) mechanisms was carried out. The regression methods for determining binding constants from ACE experiments require the assumption of instant establishment of the steady state condition which was examined in a variety of scenarios in the six cases defined by the order of the mobilities of the analyte, additive, and complex. The enumeration algorithm built upon computer simulation was developed to provide a fast and accurate alternative for determining binding constants when the assumption is invalid. The enumeration approach is equally applicable to binding studies using techniques such as NMR, chromatography, and optical methods. The second part of my research is the application of CE in other research fields, including biochemistry, anesthesia, and forensic chemistry. A systematic optimization of exhaustive electrokinetic injection and sweeping processes was carried out to improve the reproducibility and sensitivity for the detection of amphetamine and its derivatives.

description: In magnetic fusion experiments, a simple technique to evaluate the heat flux on first wall components is a key to controlled plasma surface interaction. The heat flux can be characterized by the peaking factor which is the ratio of the peak heat flux to the average heat flux. The peaking factor can be calculated exactly using simple derivations and standard software tools. This analysis is applied to an Iter class experiment for plasma wall contact during start up phases at 15 MW, in idealised, realistic and misaligned situations. Even though the peaking factors are usually above 10, the peak heat load on the wall remains moderate at a few MW/m${}^2$.

description: The major objective of this paper is to trace the economic causes of the invasion by feral pigs into the North of Montserrat during the current period of the volcanic eruption. These pigs are now a threat to the integrity of the ecosystems and the agricultural sector. The paper will attempt to set out a research framework to answer the following research questions: What has been the impact of the invasion of these pigs on agriculture? What relationships exist between economy-wide policies and the invasion of the pigs? Can changes in economic policies help in addressing the problem that currently exists? After the volcanic eruption of 1995, the numbers of feral pigs have increased markedly in the inhabited North. This followed the escape of domesticated stock, from the forced abandonment of the relatively more productive areas in the South of Montserrat. The paper proposes an Action Impact Matrix model to examine the linkages between: economic policies; the behavioural responses of resource users in the agrarian sectors; the feral pig invasion; and environmental sustainability. The paper also proposes a cost/benefit analysis of the invasion and a more conventional Policy Analysis Matrix of pig production on the island. Finally simulation analysis is proposed to determine the effect of the risk of further volcanic activity on the relationships and matrices developed in the study.

description: The changes in the international banana market regime and conditions have led to the steady decline of the banana industry in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). The Government of SVG, realising that irrigation coupled with good crop management will increase banana yields, invested EC $27.52 M in irrigation infrastructure and installed, between 1997 and 2003, micro-irrigation systems on 1700 acres of farm lands on the eastern coast of St. Vincent. However, national banana production continued to fall from a peak of 79,561 tonnes in 1990 to 5,400 tonnes in 2010. Even with the current cost of inputs, the National Irrigation Authority (NIA) contends that irrigated banana production is highly profitable and that the initial investment in a banana farm could be recovered within one year. In an effort to demonstrate this profitability to the farmers and senior Government officials and to spur investments, the NIA established, as a result demonstration, a 7-acre irrigated banana farm and monitored the actual cost and benefits of the farm. This venture was based on the following observations: the average cost of production for a properly managed irrigated farm being EC $10,000.00 per acre; the breakeven acreage for irrigated banana production to cover an annual opportunity income of EC $36,000.00 being 2.9 acres; a properly managed seven-acre farm with a 8’ x 6’ banana planting density, a bunch to box ratio of 1:1 and a crop rate of 2.5 crops per year would generate yields of 16 tonnes per acre in the first year and 32 tonnes per acre in the second year. Through January 01 to October 29, 2010 when the farm was ravaged by hurricane Tomas, the farm generated gross revenues of EC $92,100.00, a cost of production of EC $ 62,144.34, a yield of 15 tonnes per acre and a gross margin of 33 percent. The results are very encouraging. With further training of the workers and a subsequent improvement in supervision, crop management and a reduction in the field losses, the results would be much better. At 32 tonnes per acre, the 1700 acre irrigation areas could potentially maintain national banana production at 54,000 tonnes per annum and generate revenues of EC 84 M per annum. For the farmers to achieve this level of production and revenues there is a need for capacity building focusing on training and improving access to lands and finance.

description: We are interested in what models exist to provide guidance on how researchers engage patients in research. We are conducting an interpretive synthesis of the literature to understand what is being said about patient engagement and what types of frameworks, guidelines, tools, and models exist to guide and support patient engagement. Research Questions: What frameworks, models, tools, and guidelines exist to guide researchers in engaging patients in research? What are the assumptions around patient engagement underlying these frameworks? Specifically, what are the assumptions around the value of patient engagement, who is considered a patient, the role of patients on a research team, and the outcomes of patient engagement? In formulating our research questions, we draw on work by Dixon-Woods et al. (2012) in their development of a rapid narrative review and synthesis of the literature. The authors treated the research question as a compass, not an anchor, such that the questions are open to being refined as the review proceeds. In orienting to the research questions in this manner, the authors reviewed the literature in an iterative, intuitive manner in combination with more formal systematic search techniques, along with a focus on selective, judicious sampling and the integration of various literatures. We adopt a similar approach in this review. While we first began with a broad interest in existing frameworks to guide patient engagement, throughout the process of data collection and analysis, we continued to refine our research questions and integrate related literatures as relevant.

description: Very weak left/right asymmetry in reflection and transmission is offered by a layer of a topological insulator on top of a layer of an anisotropic dielectric material, but it can be enhanced very significantly by using a periodic multilayer of both types of materials. This is an attractive prospect for realizing one-way terahertz devices, because both types of materials can be grown using standard physical-vapor-deposition techniques.

description: This study discusses some factors which affect the adoption of good agricultural practices among a group of sugarcane farmers. The data were collected via a questionnaire administered in 2009 as part of a cost of production survey. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, correlation and regression analyses. The results of the regression analysis indicated that knowledge about good agricultural practices, experience as measured by the number of years the farmers were growing sugarcane, total acreage of land used to produced the sugarcane crop, the level of dependence on sugarcane as a major source of income, profit received per acre from the sale of sugarcane and the interactions among these variables explained 83% of the variation in the adoption of the good agricultural practices. This study will have practical significance as major stakeholders, including government and private agencies, can use the results to develop programmes that will increase the level of adoption to these practices, by paying particular attention to the significant variables. The methodology can be applied to other areas within the sugarcane industry locally as well as regionally.

description: Power corrections for virtual Compton scattering at leading twist are etermined at operator level. From the complete off-cone representation of the twist-2 Compton operator integral representations for the trace, antisymmetric and symmetric part of that operator are derived. The operator valued invariant functions are written in terms of iterated operators and may lead to interrelations. For matrix elements they go over into relations for generalized parton distributions. -- Reducing to the s-channel relevant part one gets operator pre-forms of the Wandzura-Wilczek and the (target mass corrected) Callan-Gross relations whose structure is exactly the same as known from the case of deep inelastic scattering; taking non-forward matrix elements one reproduces earlier results [B. Geyer, D. Robaschik and J. Eilers, Nucl. Phys. B 704 (2005) 279] for the absorptive part of the virtual Compton amplitude. -- All these relations, obtained without any approximation or using equations of motion, are determined solely by the twist-2 structure of the underlying operator and, therefore, are purely of geometric origin.

description: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has proven itself as an effective multi-carrier digital communication technique. In recent years the interest in optical OFDM has grown significantly, due to its spectral efficiency and inherent resilience to frequency-selective channels and to narrowband interference. For these reasons it is currently considered to be one of the leading candidates for deployment in short fiber links such as the ones intended for inter-data-center communications. In this paper we present a new power-efficient symbol recovery scheme for dc-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) in an intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM/DD) system. We introduce an alternative method for clipping in order to maintain a non-negative real-valued signal and still preserve information, which is lost when using clipping, and propose an iterative detection algorithm for this method. A reduction of $50\%$ in the transmitted optical power along with an increase of signal-independent noise immunity (gaining $3$[dB] in SNR), compared to traditional DCO-OFDM with a DC bias of $2$ standard deviations of the OFDM signal, is attained by our new scheme for a symbol error rate (SER) of $10^{-3}$ in a QPSK constellation additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) flat channel model.
