description: We investigate domain wall and other defect solutions in the weak-field limit of Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity as a function of $κ$, the only additional parameter of the theory with respect to General Relativity. We determine, both analytically and numerically, the internal structure of domain walls, quantifying its dependency on $κ$ as well as the impact of such dependency on the value of the tension measured by an outside observer. We find that the pressure in the direction perpendicular to the domain wall can be, in contrast to the weak-field limit of General Relativity, significantly greater or smaller than zero, depending, respectively, on whether $κ$ is positive or negative. We further show that the generalized von Laue condition, which states that the average value of the perpendicular pressure is approximately equal to zero in the weak-field limit of General Relativity, does not generally hold in EiBI gravity not only for domain walls, but also in the case cosmic strings and spherically symmetric particles. We argue that a violation of the generalized von Laue condition should in general be expected in any theory of gravity whenever geometry plays a significant role in determining the defect structure.

description: In the context of a long run agricultural outlook on behalf of the European Environmental Agency a new methodology has been developed to systematically integrate external forecasts into a quite detailed agricultural sector model. External forecasts usually provide estimates for the exogenous variables in modelling work and frequently they are also used for comparisons and potential reassessment of empirical specifications. The innovative characteristic of this study is that expert forecasts have been used to specify parameter changes expressing structural change affecting behavioural functions. The outlook was therefore set up as a simultaneous estimation and forecasting effort which permitted to integrate various, usually contradictory expert forecasts subject to the equations of the sector model.

description: This paper empirically investigates the extent to which consumer preferences may act as promoters of regional products. Three products are studied in terms of the importance consumers attach to various product attributes with particular emphasis on region of origin information. The estimation of a hedonic price function, which relates the price of Portuguese regional products to its various attributes, provided empirical support to the hypothesis that region of origin matters to consumers. The study shows that wine, olive oil and cheese from some regions of origin have a significant impact on price. Particularly, some regions of origin are expected to have price premiums, while others are expected to have discounts.

The dynamics of the confined time of arrival eigenfunctions is also numerically investigated and demonstrated that the eigenfunctions evolve to have point supports at the arrival point at their respective eigenvalues in the limit of arbitrarilly large confining lengths, giving insight into the ideal physical content of the Kijowsky distribution.

description: One of the primary driving factors in building energy performance is occupant behavioral dynamics. As a result, the layout of building occupant workstations is likely to influence energy consumption. In this paper, we introduce methods for relating lighting zone energy to zone-level occupant dynamics, simulating energy consumption of a lighting system based on this relationship, and optimizing the layout of buildings through the use of both a clustering-based approach and a genetic algorithm in order to reduce energy consumption. We find in a case study that nonhomogeneous behavior (i.e., high diversity) among occupant schedules positively correlates with the energy consumption of a highly controllable lighting system. We additionally find through data-driven simulation that the naïve clustering-based optimization and the genetic algorithm (which makes use of the energy simulation engine) produce layouts that reduce energy consumption by roughly 5% compared to the existing layout of a real office space comprised of 165 occupants. Overall, this study demonstrates the merits of utilizing low-cost dynamic design of existing building layouts as a means to reduce energy usage. Our work provides an additional path to reach our sustainable energy goals in the built environment through new non-capital-intensive interventions.

The image of childhood in Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking
Creators: name: Braun, Kara Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis, both philosophical exploration and literary analysis, examines the image of childhood within the text of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking (1945). Through a close textual analysis of three separate passages, one from each of the Pippi books, the thesis writer considers the phenomenological experience of childhood as portrayed through the character of Pippi Longstocking and her friends Tommy and Annika. By considering the ways in which specific words, phrases and descriptions render the author's expression of childhood, the thesis writer proposes a more accurate appreciation for the broad and enduring appeal of the book than has been made to this point. Throughout the analysis, the thesis writer reflects on how the image of childhood within Pippi Longstocking can inform the work of parenting and educating. The thesis concludes by reflecting on what Pippi Longstocking is and how her character and the image of childhood presented within the text offer insight into relationships with children.

description: In this paper, we introduce vast generalizations of the Hardy-Berndt sums. They involve higher-order Euler and/or Bernoulli functions, in which the variables are affected by certain linear shifts. By employing the Fourier series technique we derive linear relations for these sums. In particular, these relations yield reciprocity formulas for Carlitz, Rademacher, Mikolás and Apostol type generalizations of the Hardy-Berndt sums, and give rise to generalizations for some Goldberg's three-term relations. We also present an elementary proof for the Mikolás' linear relation and a reciprocity formula in terms of the generation function.

description: This paper takes into account technological and output constraints for firms to analyse PDO regulation. We first examine an original dataset of French Brie cheese producers and compare the cost structure of PDO producers with non-PDO ones. The paper also finds that PDO firms face a more costly production technology and do not profit from scale economies. Then, based on a theoretical model, the paper shows a clear tradeoff between the sunk advertising costs (net of certification costs) and the degree of diseconomies of scale. This tradeoff affects both the firms' incentive to certify, and the efficiency of public certification.

description: Dual-comb microscopy (DCM), an interesting imaging modality based on the optical-frequency-comb (OFC) mode and image pixel one-to-one correspondence, benefits from scan-less full-field imaging and simultaneous confocal amplitude and phase imaging. However, the two fully frequency-stabilized OFC sources requirement hampers DCM practicality due to the complexity and costs. Here, a bidirectional single-cavity dual-comb fiber laser (SCDCFL) is adopted as a DCM low-complexity OFC source. Computational image correction reduces the image blur caused by the SCDCFL residual timing jitter. Nanometer-order step surface profilometry with a 14.0 nm uncertainty highlights the image-corrected DCM effectiveness. The proposed method enhances the DCM versality and practicality.

description: We have characterized the magnetic and structural properties of the CdLn2Se4 (Ln = Dy, Ho), and CdLn2S4 (Ln = Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) spinels. We observe all compounds to be normal spinels, possessing a geometrically frustrated sublattice of lanthanide atoms with no observable structural disorder. Fits to the high temperature magnetic susceptibilities indicate these materials to have effective antiferromagnetic interactions, with Curie-Weiss temperatures theta ~ -10 K, except CdYb2S4 for which theta ~ -40 K. The absence of magnetic long range order or glassiness above T = 1.8 K strongly suggests that these materials are a new venue in which to study the effects of strong geometrical frustration, potentially as rich in new physical phenomena as that of the pyrochlore oxides.

description: The paper investigates the consensus among Hungarian agricultural economists on specific propositions on the basis of a 2004 survey using a consensus index. In comparison to previous studies of agricultural economists much more diverse found among agricultural economists. In contrast to earlier studies, we have no found evidence of a difference between positive and normative propositions. The results suggest that personal characteristics of agricultural economists, like age, occupation, educational background may have influence on the pattern of responses. We also found some support to the role of positive and normative influences on policy judgement.

description: We study notions such as ﬁnite presentability and coherence, for partially ordered abelian groups and vector spaces. Typical results are the following: (i) A partially ordered abelian group G is ﬁnitely presented if and only if G is ﬁnitely generated as a group, the positive cone G^+ is well-founded as a partially ordered set, and the set of minimal elements of (G^+)-{0} is ﬁnite. (ii) Torsion-free, ﬁnitely presented partially ordered abelian groups can be represented as subgroups of some Z^n, with a ﬁnitely generated submonoid of (Z+)^n as positive cone. (iii) Every unperforated, ﬁnitely presented partially ordered abelian group is Archimedean. Further, we establish connections with interpolation. In particular, we prove that a divisible dimension group G is a directed union of simplicial subgroups if and only if every ﬁnite subset of G is contained into a ﬁnitely presented ordered subgroup.

description: The paper is based on data from a questionnaire survey (interviews) conducted in the western part of Poland on 183 rural tourism and agri-tourism small and medium enterprises. The classification of enterprises was based on the methodology proposed by Wysocki (1996) and included the k-means clustering algorithm. As the result of the research three types of SMEs were separated, including the top resilient enterprises aimed mainly at tourism activity and usually connected with horse recreation, a cluster of mixed SMEs for which tourism activity was an additional and less important source of income, and a group of SMEs for which tourism activity was an additional but important source of income. The classification may be used as a hint for rural development policy makers for future support of rural tourism / agri-tourism development.

description: We calculate the charge and heat current associate with electrons, generated by a temperature gradient and chemical potential difference between two ends of a tubular nanowire of 30 nm radius in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to its axis. We consider a nanowire based on a semiconductor material, and use the Landauer-Bttiker approach to calculate the transport quantities. We obtain the variation of the Seebeck coefficient ($S$), thermal conductivity kappa, and the figure of merit ($ZT$), with respect to the temperature up to 20\,K, and with the magnetic field up to 3 T. In particular we show that the Seebeck coefficient can change sign in this domain of parameters. In addition $κ$ and $ZT$ have oscillations when the magnetic field increases. These oscillations are determined by the energy spectrum of the electrons.

description: A bipartite producer-consumer network is constructed to describe the industrial structure. The edges from consumer to producer represent the choices of the consumer for the final products and the degree of producer can represent its market share. So the size distribution of firms can be characterized by producer's degree distribution. The probability for a producer receiving a new consumption is determined by its competency described by initial attractiveness and the self-reinforcing mechanism in the competition described by preferential attachment. The cases with constant total consumption and with growing market are studied. The following results are obtained: 1, Without market growth and a uniform initial attractiveness $a$, the final distribution of firm sizes is Gamma distribution for $a>1$ and is exponential for $a=1$. If $a<1$, the distribution is power in small size and exponential in upper tail; 2, For a growing market, the size distribution of firms obeys the power law. The exponent is affected by the market growth and the initial attractiveness of the firms.

description: In 2003, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been reformed and decoupling direct payments from farm output is one of its core elements. We estimate the likely responses in organic product supply due to the reform at regional and sectoral levels. In addition, we analyse how the new programme for rural development, to be implemented in 2007, might affect organic farming. Our results show that organic farming will become more attractive after the 2003 CAP reform in Austria. Our results support the view that interactions among agri-environmental measures affect farmers' choice to maintain, abandon or adopt organic farming practices.

description: This paper analyses the adoption process of water-conserving irrigation technologies by a risk averse farmer in a context of uncertain water availability. Firstly, it is analytically shown that the increase in water efficiency that the new technology allows results in a decrease in the cost of the effective irrigation water applied, as well as in an increase in both effective water applied and crop production. It is also concluded that the optimal amount of irrigation water applied depends on individual risk preferences of the producer, on the variance and asymmetry of the cost of water applied, and on the elasticity of the marginal productivity of the effective water applied. Lastly, it is theoretically shown that an increase in the level of uncertainty regarding water availability incentives the adoption of modern irrigation technologies only if this allows for a reduction in the amount of water applied.

description: Using long slit emission-line spectra we detect a fast outflow of ionized gas, with velocities up to 1000 km/s, in the nearby powerful radio galaxy 3C 293 (z = 0.045). The fast outflow is located about 1 kpc east of the nucleus, in a region of enhanced radio emission due to the presence of a distorted radio jet. We present results that indicate that this fast outflow is caused by a jet-ISM interaction. The kinematics of the outflowing ionized gas are very similar to those of a fast outflow of neutral hydrogen gas in this galaxy, suggesting that both outflows are the result of the same driving mechanism. While the mass of the outflowing ionized gas is about 1 x 10e5 M_sun, the total HI mass involved in the neutral outflow is about 100 times higher (10e7 M_sun). This shows that, despite the high energies that must be involved in driving the outflow, most of the gas remains, or becomes again, neutral. Other outflows of ionized gas, although not as pronounced as in the region of the enhanced radio emission, are also seen in various other regions along the axis of the inner radio jets. The regular kinematics of the emission-line gas along the major axis of the host galaxy reveal a rotating ionized gas disk 30 kpc in extent.

Year: 1953

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

We describe the fundamentals of MuFT, and give an example of one potential implementation. Full description of the observables by MuFT are provided. A physical explanation of the observability of the complex visibility by MuFT is given. Fundamental restrictions on observations with MuFT, eg. limits on spectral and spatial resolutions and field-of-view, are discussed. The advantages of MuFT are also summarized.

description: We show that logic computational circuits in gene regulatory networks arise from a fibration symmetry breaking in the network structure. From this idea we implement a constructive procedure that reveals a hierarchy of genetic circuits, ubiquitous across species, that are surprising analogues to the emblematic circuits of solid-state electronics: starting from the transistor and progressing to ring oscillators, current-mirror circuits to toggle switches and flip-flops. These canonical variants serve fundamental operations of synchronization and clocks (in their symmetric states) and memory storage (in their broken symmetry states). These conclusions introduce a theoretically principled strategy to search for computational building blocks in biological networks, and present a systematic route to design synthetic biological circuits.

description: A stochastic input distance function is estimated to analyse the efficiency with which physical characteristics of individual lot-fed beef cattle in Australia are combined with conventional inputs to produce a final product possessing defined quality attributes. High mean technical efficiency estimates are reported for all animals and by breed. All partial output elasticities with respect to inputs are of expected sign. Of four outputs included in the analysis, carcass weight and moisture retention in meat after cooking have highly significant coefficients of expected sign, but two meat quality variables have coefficients of unexpected sign indicating that they decline as inputs increase. Some evidence is detected of scope economies between moisture retention in meat and the inverse of meat compression.

Simulation results for cereals, oilseeds and meats are provided in this article. Two scenarios are analysed: non-accession baseline and accession with adoption of single area payment scheme. EU accession is expected to increase prices of most products, the biggest increase of prices will occur in animal sector. Because of higher prices consumption will go down. Decrease of consumption will be mitigated by income growth. Production will not increase substantially due to decoupling of direct payments. Trade balance for majority of products will improve.

description: Protein function prediction may be framed as predicting subgraphs (with certain closure properties) of a directed acyclic graph describing the hierarchy of protein functions. Graph neural networks (GNNs), with their built-in inductive bias for relational data, are hence naturally suited for this task. However, in contrast with most GNN applications, the graph is not related to the input, but to the label space. Accordingly, we propose Tail-GNNs, neural networks which naturally compose with the output space of any neural network for multi-task prediction, to provide relationally-reinforced labels. For protein function prediction, we combine a Tail-GNN with a dilated convolutional network which learns representations of the protein sequence, making significant improvement in F_1 score and demonstrating the ability of Tail-GNNs to learn useful representations of labels and exploit them in real-world problem solving.

description: We extend the usual deﬁnition of coherence, for modules over rings, to partially ordered right modules over a large class of partially ordered rings, called po-rings. In this situation, coherence is equivalent to saying that solution sets of ﬁnite systems of inequalities are ﬁnitely generated semimodules. Coherence for ordered rings and modules, which we call po-coherence, has the following features: (i) Every subring of Q, and every totally ordered division ring, is po-coherent. (ii) For a partially ordered right module A over a po-coherent poring R, A is po-coherent if and only if A is a ﬁnitely presented R-module and A^+ is a ﬁnitely generated R^+-semimodule. (iii) Every ﬁnitely po-presented partially ordered right module over a right po-coherent po-ring is po-coherent. (iv) Every ﬁnitely presented abelian lattice-ordered group is po-coherent.

description: The impact of farmed shrimp on the economy of ten municipalities are analyzed. A model of the municipal economy is developed and input-output tables are used to estimate indirect and induced impacts on job, income and municipal finances. It is concluded that farmed shrimp has a sizable contribution to job increases, in particular formal employment. Indirect and induced impacts are reduced because of spillovers to larger municipalities and other states. Income impacts can be sizable in particular in small counties. In general, the generated income represents a large share of total municipal product. In relation to municipal finance, direct contribution is rather small but indirect, through product increases and mainly transferences from State and Country taxes may be substantial. In conclusion, shrimp farms in the selected municipalities, contributes to expand and stabilize employment, to expand income and product, to increase municipal finances and to improve life conditions.

description: Both the translational diffusion coefficient $D$ and the electrophoretic mobility $μ$ of a short rod-like molecule (such as dsDNA) that is being pulled towards a nanopore by an electric field should depend on its orientation. Since a charged rod-like molecule tends to orient in the presence of an inhomogeneous electric field, $D$ and $μ$ will change as the molecule approaches the nanopore, and this will impact the capture process. We present a simplified study of this problem using theoretical arguments and Langevin Dynamics simulations. In particular, we introduce a new \textit{orientational capture radius} which we compare to the capture radius for the equivalent point-like particle, and we discuss the different physical regimes of orientation during capture and the impact of initial orientations on the capture time.

description: Several results are obtained concerning multiplicities of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $ζ(s)$. They include upper bounds for multiplicities, showing that zeros with large multiplicities have to lie to the left of the line $σ= 1$. A zero-density counting function involving multiplicities is also discussed.

description: The paper deals with the emergence and rise of market information systems in sub-Sahara Africa as a result of economic liberalization. There has already been an evolution is such systems and no particular system dominates. Various types of market information systems exist today, public or private, all or not linked to a commodity exchange. The rationale of a commodity exchange is discussed, linked to a market information system. They all struggle with problems of sustainable financing. Very few if any good impact studies exist on such systems, demonstrating their effects on market transparency, information asymmetry, the bargaining power of poor farmers and their market access. Dissemination of the information, using traditional (radio) or modern (ICT) tools is crucial in order to reach the farmers. But market information alone is unlikely to catalyze market supply chains. More is needed to enable poor farmers to gain better access to markets in a more sustainable and remunerative manner.

description: Excerpt from the report Summary: New and improved methods and equipment for cartoning and candling eggs, on a "production line" basis recently introduced in the industry, are of particular interest to plant operators who seek ways of increasing operational efficiency. Interest is being manifested in the introduction of improved materials-handling methods and equipment. As a first step in meeting the needs of plant managers this report: (1) Describes various egg candling and cartoning systems; (2) presents some of the principles for improving handling methods; and (3) outlines some of the improved materials-handling methods observed in progressive egg assembly plants.
How the orbital period of a test particle is modified by the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati gravity?

description: In addition to the pericentre ω, the mean anomaly M and, thus, the mean longitude λ, also the orbital period Pb and the mean motion $n$ of a test particle are modified by the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati gravity. While the correction to Pb depends on the mass of the central body and on the geometrical features of the orbital motion around it, the correction to $n$ is independent of them, up to terms of second order in the eccentricity $e$. The latter one amounts to about 2\times 10^-3 arcseconds per century. The present-day accuracy in determining the mean motions of the inner planets of the Solar System from radar ranging and differential Very Long Baseline Interferometry is 10^-2-5\times 10^-3 arcseconds per century, but it should be improved in the near future when the data from the spacecraft to Mercury and Venus will be available.

description: The hydrodynamic radius of a polymer chain, obtained using Brownian dynamics simulations of the continuum Edwards model, is found to obey a crossover in the excluded volume parameter z, which is significantly different from that observed for the radius of gyration. It is shown that this difference arises from contributions due to dynamic correlations to the diffusivity, which are ignored in the commonly used definition of hydrodynamic radius based on the Kirkwood expression. The swelling of the hydrodynamic radius from the theta-state, obtained from simulations, shows remarkable agreement with experimental measurements.

description: Human activities generate food attracting many animals worldwide, causing major conservation issues. The spatio-temporal predictability of anthropogenic resources could reduce search costs for animals and mediate their attractiveness. We investigated this through GPS tracking in breeding black-browed albatrosses attracted to fishing boats. We tested for answers to the following questions. (i) Can future boat locations be anticipated from cues available to birds? (ii) Are birds able to appropriately use these cues to increase encounters? (iii) How frequently do birds use these cues? Boats were spatially persistent: birds searching in the direction where they previously attended boats would encounter twice as many boats compared with following a random direction strategy. A large proportion of birds did not use this cue: across pairs of consecutive trips (n = 85), 51% of birds switched their foraging direction irrespective of previous boat encounters. Still, 15 birds (27%) were observed to closely approach (approx. 0.1–1 km) where they previously attended a boat while boats were no longer there. This is less than the distance expected by chance (approx. 10–100 km), based on permutation control procedures accounting for individual-specific spatial consistency, suggesting individuals could memorize where they encountered boats across consecutive trips. We conclude albatrosses were able to exploit predictive cues from recent boat encounters but most favoured alternative resources.

description: Let A and B be lattices with zero. The classical tensor product, $A\otimes B$, of A and B as join-semilattices with zero is a join-semilattice with zero; it is, in general, not a lattice. We deﬁne a very natural condition: $A \otimes B$ is capped (that is, every element is a ﬁnite union of pure tensors) under which the tensor product is always a lattice. Let Conc L denote the join-semilattice with zero of compact congruences of a lattice L. Our main result is that the following isomorphism holds for any capped tensor product: $Conc A\otimes Conc B \cong Conc(A \otimes B)$. This generalizes from ﬁnite lattices to arbitrary lattices the main result of a joint paper by the ﬁrst author, H. Lakser, and R. W. Quackenbush.
