subject: water scarcity

description: Agricultural trade is by far the largest vehicle to ‘move’ water virtually around the world. Observing that most countries import and export water embedded in the exchanged products, the objective of this study is to assess the virtual water ‘trade’ in Spain for the period 1997-2006. We differentiate between the green and blue components of virtual water from a hydrological and economic perspective. The combination of spatial and time dimensions offers a unique empirical setting to determine whether virtual water ‘trade’ can contribute to reduce water scarcity. The study reveals that Spain is a net ‘importer’ of virtual water. By far the largest virtual water ‘imports’ are linked to cereals and animal feed products whilst the virtual water ‘exports’ are linked to exports of animal products, fruits and vegetables. Virtual water ‘trade’ is one way to reduce the vulnerability of the agri-food sector to climate instability. It reinforces the competitive advantages of its natural endowments capital investments in agriculture. The econometric analysis using provincial water exports water exports are invariable to cyclical water scarcity, and largely explained by fixed factors. Virtual water ‘trade’ does not exacerbate water scarcity, though it is certainly a source of pressure for resources management.

How do fathers of young children achieve parental satisfaction? : investigating the relationship of father involvement and father identity with parental satisfaction
Creators: name: McPherson, Todd
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Father identity has traditionally been defined by the breadwinner role, yet fathers are being called upon to be more involved in other roles of fathering. The present study investigated whether involvement in any of the nine common father roles affects parental satisfaction, or whether the congruence between father identity and father involvement determines parental satisfaction. Fathers of children aged two to six years old (n=116) were recruited via email to complete an online questionnaire with measures of father identity, father involvement, and parental satisfaction. Results suggested that nurturing involvement is associated with satisfaction. A relationship between overall identity-involvement congruence was established with parental satisfaction, though not at a statistically significant level. Several relationships were established between father involvement and other variables. Possible explanations for the findings are discussed.

description: In this paper, we firstly construct a weakly coupled Toda lattices with indefinite metrics which consist of $2N$ different coupled Hamiltonian systems. Afterwards, we consider the iso-spectral manifolds of extended tridiagonal Hessenberg matrix with indefinite metrics what is an extension of a strict tridiagonal matrix with indefinite metrics. For the initial value problem of the extended symmetric Toda hierarchy with indefinite metrics, we introduce the inverse scattering procedure in terms of eigenvalues by using the Kodama's method. In this article, according to the orthogonalization procedure of Szegö, the relationship between the $τ$-function and the given Lax matrix is also discussed. We can verify the results derived from the orthogonalization procedure with a simple example. After that, we construct a strongly coupled Toda lattices with indefinite metrics and derive its tau structures. At last, we generalize the weakly coupled Toda lattices with indefinite metrics to the $Z_{n}$-Toda lattices with indefinite metrics.

$\mathcal{P}^2$: Combining pressure and electrochemistry to synthesize superhydrides

description: Recently, superhydrides have been computationally identified and subsequently synthesized with a variety of metals at very high pressures. In this work, we evaluate the possibility of synthesizing superhydrides by uniquely combining electrochemistry and applied pressure. We perform computational searches for palladium superhydrides using density functional theory and particle swarm optimization calculations over a broad range of pressures and electrode potentials. We incorporate exchange-correlation functional uncertainty using the Bayesian error estimation formalism to quantify the uncertainty associated with the identified stable phases. Based on a thermodynamic analysis, we construct pressure-potential phase diagrams and provide an alternate synthesis concept, $\mathcal{P}^2$ (pressure-potential), to accessing novel phases having high hydrogen content. Palladium-hydrogen is a widely-studied material system with the highest hydride phase being Pd$_3$H$_4$. Most strikingly for this system, at potentials above hydrogen evolution and $\sim$300 MPa pressure, we find the possibility to make palladium superhydrides (e.g., PdH$_{10}$). We demonstrate the generalizability of this approach for La-H, Y-H and Mg-H with 10-100 fold reduction in required pressure for stabilizing phases. In addition, the $\mathcal{P}^2$ strategy allows stabilizing new phases that cannot be done purely by either pressure or potential and is a general approach that is likely to work for synthesizing other superhydrides at modest pressures.

description: Jamming is a common feature of out of equilibrium systems showing slow relaxation dynamics. Here we review our efforts in understanding jamming in granular materials using experiments and computer simulations. We first obtain an estimation of an effective temperature for a slowly sheared granular material very close to jamming. The measurement of the effective temperature is realized in the laboratory by slowly shearing a closely-packed ensemble of spherical beads confined by an external pressure in a Couette geometry. All the probe particles, independent of their characteristic features, equilibrate at the same temperature, given by the packing density of the system. This suggests that the effective temperature is a state variable for the nearly jammed system. Then we investigate numerically whether the effective temperature can be obtained from a flat average over the jammed configuration at a given energy in the granular packing, as postulated by the thermodynamic approach to grains.

We perform measurements of absolute branching fractions BR(B^\pm --> K^\pm X_{c\bar c}) using a missing mass technique, and report several new or improved results. In particular, the upper limit BR(B^\pm --> K^\pm X(3872))<3.2 10^-4 at 90% CL and the inferred lower limit BR(X(3872) --> J/ψπ^+π^-)>4.2% will help in understanding the nature of the recently discovered X(3872).

description: In the presence of finite chemical potential $μ$, we holographically compute the entanglement of purification in a $2+1$- and $3+1$-dimensional field theory and also in a $3+1$-dimensional field theory with a critical point. We observe that compared to $2+1$- and $3+1$-dimensional field theories, the behavior of entanglement of purification near critical point is different and it is not a monotonic function of $\fracμ{T}$ where $T$ is the temperature of the field theory. Therefore, the entanglement of purification distinguishes the critical point in the field theory. We also discuss the dependence of the holographic entanglement of purification on the various parameters of the theories. Moreover, the critical exponent is calculated.

Children’s stories of conflict at school : exploring "realities" of resolution through narrative
Creators: name: White, Vincent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Through a narrative research design, six elementary school children identified by their teachers as having an above average ability to deal effectively with conflict situations were invited to share their own personal experience of conflict at school. The telling of these stories was intended to provide a series of snapshots capturing these children's "realities" of conflict, including their perceptions of how a particular incident unfolded, as well as what factors they believed were responsible both for its occurrence and the manner in which it was handled. By encouraging these children to regard themselves as "experts" on the subject, this study also explored how the process of telling their stories was impacted by asking the children to speak from the authority of their experience. Through this recognition of the children's expertise, it was hoped that a refreshing context would be created that facilitated certain insight less likely to be found in the advice-laden dialogues that characteristically occur between adults and children. In response to the growing body of research supporting the implementation of school-wide peer mediation and conflict resolution training programs, this study explored the process of beginning first with children's perspectives of conflict in their world in an effort to gain some sense of the meaning-making processes employed by young people in these situations. Careful attention was paid to the influence of "power" on the adult-child dialogues that facilitated the telling of these stories. Data was collected in the form of co-constructed narratives, field observations that focused on process, premise and content, and teacher's reflections of the children. Findings are reported in the form of themes and interpretations based on the children's stories, as well as profiles summarizing each child's narrative journey. Implications of results and suggestions for further research are also discussed.

description: We present a quantum manipulation of a traveling light pulse using double atomic coherence for two-color stationary light and quantum frequency conversion. The quantum frequency conversion rate of the traveling light achieved by the two-color stationary light phenomenon is near unity. We theoretically discuss the two-color stationary light for the frequency conversion process in terms of pulse area, energy transfer and propagation directions. The resulting process may apply the coherent interactions of a weak field to nonlinear quantum optics such as quantum nondemolition measurement.

description: This is a Reply to the Comment from F. Cinti and M. Boninsegni on our recent work on the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition in a two-dimensional dipolar system [R.Bombín, F. Mazzanti and J. Boronat, Physical Review A 100, 063614 (2019)]. The main criticism about our work, expressed in that Comment, is that we did not explicitly report the two spatial contributions to the total superfluid fraction. Here, we analyze our results for a point of the phase diagram corresponding to the stripe phase, close to the gas to stripe transition line, and for a temperature below the BKT critical temperature. The scaling with the system size of the contribution to the superfluid fraction, coming from the direction in which spatial order appears, shows that it remains finite in the thermodynamic limit, as we already stated in our original work. This allow us to state that the stripe phase is superfluid at low temperatures. Furthermore, we offer some comments that help to understand where the differences between the results of Cinti and Boninsegni and ours comes from.

description: A multi-year research study was established under the environmental pillar of the Agriculture Policy Framework (APF) to evaluate the role and impact of existing farm level environmental regulations administered by local, provincial, federal governments. The Phase 1 study entitled "Inventory and Methodology for Assessing the Impacts of Environmental Regulations in the Agricultural Sector" was released in March 2006 on AAFC online. There is a growing concern about the impact and effectiveness of environmental regulations, specifically impact on the competitiveness of primary agriculture. Empirical analysis is required to better understand the exact role that agri-environmental regulations play in determining a farm's cost structure and to compare difference between provinces within Canada. With this purpose in mind, in Phase 2, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), has commissioned hog case study to increase the policy makers' and industry's understanding of the impact and role of environmental regulations in the farming sector. The study estimated the compliance costs of existing agri-environmental regulations for a newly established -600 sow farrow to finish-hog facility in 2006. It was also assumed that the facility would follow good farming practices (i.e. sufficient land available to absorb the manure from the operation). The results show that environmental regulation compliance costs were generally less than 1% of total annual production cost.

description: Numerous reforms to introduce financial incentives and flexibility into the Clean Water Act have been proposed. Cooperative organizational forms that consolidate multiple regulated entities under a single organizational umbrella are an overlooked, but potentially useful avenue for reform. In concept, these new organizational forms would function much like a farmer cooperative - using coordination and consolidation to lower input costs to its members. Illustrations of how cooperative organizational forms can be used to lower costs and enhance regulatory flexibility in both the water quality and wetland programs are provided.

The algorithm utilizes the Levy-Ciesielski implementation of Lie-Trotter products to achieve a mathematically proven computational cost of n*log_2(n) with the number of time slices n, despite the fact that each path variable is updated separately, for reasons of optimality. In this respect, we demonstrate that updating a group of random variables simultaneously results in loss of efficiency.

Higher order modes are found to be more sensitive to beam parameter mismatches. This is particularly relevant for gravitational-wave detectors, where lasers employing higher-order optical modes have been proposed to mitigate thermal noise and quantum-enhanced detectors are very susceptible to losses. This work should inform mode matching and squeezing requirements for \textit{Advanced+} and \textit{Third Generation} detectors.

description: Given a transverse link in the standard contact 3-sphere, we study the contact manifold that arises as a branched double cover of the sphere. We give a contact surgery description of such manifolds, which allows to determine the Heegaard Floer contact invariants for some of them. By example of the knots of Birman--Menasco, we show that these contact manifolds may fail to distinguish between non-isotopic transverse knots. We also investigate the relation between the Heegaard Floer contact invariants of the branched double covers and the Khovanov homology, in particular, the transverse link invariant we introduce in a related paper.

description: Terahertz spectroscopy is a promising tool for analyzing the picosecond dynamics of biomolecules, which is influenced by surrounding water molecules. However, water causes extreme losses to terahertz signals, preventing sensitive measurements at this frequency range. Here, we present sensitive on-chip terahertz spectroscopy of highly lossy aqueous solutions using a vector network analyzer, contact probes, and a coplanar waveguide with a 0.1 mm wide microfluidic channel. The complex permittivities of various deionized water/isopropyl alcohol concentration are extracted from a known reference measurement across the frequency range 750-1100 GHz and agrees well with literature data. The results prove the presented method as a high-sensitive approach for on-chip terahertz spectroscopy of high-loss liquids, capable of resolving the permittivity of water.

description: In the first part of this introductory review we outline the developments in photonic band gap materials from the physics of photonic band gap formation to the fabrication and potential applications of photonic crystals. We briefly describe the analogies between electron and photon localization, present a simple model of a band structure calculation and describe some of the techniques used for fabricating photonic crystals. Also some applications in the field of photonics and optical circuitry are briefly presented. In the second part, we discuss the consequences for the interaction between an atom and the light field when the former is embedded in photonic crystals of a specific type, exhibiting a specific form of a gap in the density of states. We first briefly review the standard treatment (Weisskopf-Wigner theory) in describing the dynamics of spontaneous emission in free space from first principles, and then proceed by explaining the alterations needed to properly treat the case of a two-level atom embedded in a photonic band gap material.

description: The equation of state with light clusters for nuclear and stellar matter is determined using chemical equilibrium constants evaluated from the analysis of the recently published (Xe$+$Sn) heavy ion data, corresponding to three reactions with different isotopic contents of the emission source. The measured multiplicities are used to extract the thermodynamic properties, and an in-medium correction to the ideal gas internal partition function of the clusters is included in the analysis. This in-medium correction and its respective uncertainty are calculated via a Bayesian analysis, with the unique hypothesis that the different nuclear species in a given sample must correspond to a unique common value for the density of the expanding source. Different parameter sets for the correction are tested, and the effect of the radius of the clusters on the thermodynamics and on the chemical equilibrium constants is also addressed. It is shown that the equilibrium constants obtained are almost independent of the isospin content of the analysed systems. Finally, a comparison with a relativistic mean field model proves that data are consistent with a universal in-medium correction of the scalar $σ$-meson coupling for nucleons bound in clusters. The obtained value, $g_s/g_s^0 = 0.92 \pm 0.02$, is larger than that obtained in a previous study not including in-medium effects in the data analysis. This result implies a smaller effect on the binding energy of the clusters and, as a consequence, larger melting densities, and an increased cluster contribution in supernova matter.

description: This paper addresses the robust single machine makespan scheduling with uncertain release dates of the jobs. The release dates take values within know intervals. We use the concept of gamma-robustness in two different settings and address both the robust absolute and robust regret criteria. Our main results are polynomial time algorithms which have the same running time (O(n log n)) as the best algorithms for the non-robust case.

description: A technique to search for 2K-capture of $^{78}$Kr with large low-background proportional counter filled with an enriched in $^{78}$Kr up to 99.8% sample of Krypton at a pressure of 4.51 is described in this paper. The results of first measurements are presented. Analysis of data collected during 159 hours yielded new limit to the half-life of $^{78}$Kr with regard to 2K-capture (T$_{1/2}\geq6\cdot10^{21}$ yr (90% C.L.)). Sensitivity of the facility to the process for one year of measurement was evaluated to be $\texttt{S}=1.0\cdot10^{22}$ yr (90% C.L.).

Modelling of aspherical nebulae. I. A quick pseudo-3D photoionization code

description: We describe a pseudo-3D photoionization code, NEBU_3D and its associated visualization tool, VIS_NEB3D, which are able to easily and rapidly treat a wide variety of nebular geometries, by combining models obtained with a 1D photoionization code. The only requirement for the code to work is that the ionization source is uniqu e and not extended. It is applicable as long as the diffuse ionizing radiation f ield is not dominant and strongly inhomogeneous. As examples of the capabilities of these new tools, we consider two very differ ent theoretical cases. One is that of a high excitation planetary nebula that ha s an ellipsoidal shape with two polar density knots. The other one is that of a blister HII region, for which we have also constructed a spherical model (the sp herical impostor) which has exactly the same Hbeta surface brightness distrib ution as the blister model and the same ionizing star. These two examples warn against preconceived ideas when interpreting spectroscop ic and imaging data of HII regions and planetary nebulae. The tools NEBU_3D and VIS_NEB3D, which will be made publicly available in the future, should facilitat e the performance of numerical experiments, to yield a better understanding of t he physics of aspherical ionized nebulae.

description: In response to the declining availability of irrigation water from the Ogallala aquifer, irrigation at the level where MVP=MFC increases net returns over either irrigating to maximize production or meet 100% of the evapotranspiration (PET) requirements. This prolongs the economic life of the aquifer and increases the efficiency of irrigation.

description: In this letter we discuss a novel and versatile template technique aimed to the fabrication of sub-10 nm wide wires. Using this technique, we have successfully measured AuPd wires, 12 nm wide and as long as 20 $μ$m. Even materials that form a strong superficial oxide, and thus not suited to be used in combination with other techniques, can be successfully employed. In particular we have measured Al wires, with lateral width smaller or comparable to 10 nm, and length exceeding 10 $μ$m.

description: Using extensive non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate a glassforming binary Lennard-Jones mixture under shear. Both supercooled liquids and glasses are considered. Our focus is on the characterization of inhomogeneous flow patterns such as shear bands that appear as a transient response to the external shear. For the supercooled liquids, we analyze the crossover from Newtonian to non-Newtonian behavior with increasing shear rate $\dotγ$. Above a critical shear rate $\dotγ_c$ where a non-Newtonian response sets in, the transient dynamics are associated with the occurrence of short-lived vertical shear bands, i.e. bands of high mobility that form perpendicular to the flow direction. In the glass states, long-lived horizontal shear bands, i.e. bands of high mobility parallel to the flow direction, are observed in addition to vertical ones. The systems with shear bands are characterized in terms of mobility maps, stress-strain relations, mean-squared displacements, and (local) potential energies. The initial formation of a horizontal shear band provides an efficient stress release, corresponds to a local minimum of the potential energy, and is followed by a slow broadening of the band towards the homogeneously flowing fluid in the steady-state. Whether a horizontal or a vertical shear band forms cannot be predicted from the initial undeformed sample. Furthermore, we show that with increasing system size the probability for the occurrence of horizontal shear bands increases.

description: We review the different aspects of the interaction of mesoscopic quantum systems with gravitational fields. We first discuss briefly the foundations of general relativity and quantum mechanics. Then, we consider the non-relativistic expansions of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the post-Newtonian approximation. After a short overview of classical gravitational waves, we discuss two proposed interaction mechanisms: (i) the use of quantum fluids as generator and/or detector of gravitational waves in the laboratory, and (ii) the inclusion of gravitomagnetic fields in the study of the properties of rotating superconductors. The foundations of the proposed experiments are explained and evaluated.
