description: The use of trellises to support vine crops such as tomato, squash and cucumber may result in increased fruit quality compared to the conventional practice of allowing the vines to run freely on the ground. Other stated advantages of the trellis system include better canopy light interception, better control of pest and ease of harvesting. However, there is still much debate over whether the use of trellises results in increased yield. The objective of this study was to determine the performance of trellis grown cucumber vs. conventional practice. A two year study was done at the FAMU research and extension center, Quincy Florida. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with three treatments: A-frame trellis, wire trellis and conventional practice as a control. Parameters measured included fruit size (length and circumference), fruit quality and total yield. Treatment effects were evaluated by Analysis of Variance and Fisher's exact test. Despite numerically higher numbers of spoiled fruits from the conventional practice, the results showed no significant treatment effect. The study concluded that the use of trellises provided no advantage over the conventional system with respect to the parameters measured.

description: Recent evolutions in semiconductors have brought the terahertz band in the spotlight as an enabler for terabit-per-second communications in 6G networks. Most of the research so far, however, has focused on understanding the physics of terahertz devices, circuitry and propagation, and on studying physical layer solutions. However, integrating this technology in complex mobile networks requires a proper design of the full communication stack, to address link- and system-level challenges related to network setup, management, coordination, energy efficiency, and end-to-end connectivity. This paper provides an overview of the issues that need to be overcome to introduce the terahertz spectrum in mobile networks, from a MAC, network and transport layer perspective, with considerations on the performance of end-to-end data flows on terahertz connections.

description: The maturity of avocado fruit is usually assessed by measuring its dry matter content (DM), which is a destructive and time consuming process. The aim of this study is to introduce a non-destructive and quick technique that can estimate the DM content of an avocado fruit. 'Hass' avocado fruits at different maturity stages and varying skin color were analyzed by hyperspectral imaging in reflectance and absorbance modes. The DM ranged from 19.8% to 42.5%. The hyperspectral data consist of mean spectra of avocados in the VIS/NIR region, from 400nm to lOOOnm, for a total of 163 different spectral bands. Relationship between spectral wavelengths and DM content were carried out using a chemometric partial least squares (PLS) regression technique. Calibration and validation statistics, such as correlation coefficient (R2) and prediction error (RMSEP) were used as means of comparing the predictive accuracies of the different models. The results of PLS modeling, over several different randomizations of the database, with full cross validation methods using the entire spectral range, resulted in a mean R2 of 0.86 with a mean RMSEP of 2.45 in reflectance mode, and a mean R2 of 0.94 with a mean RMSEP of 1.59 for the absorbance mode. This indicates that reasonably accurate models (R2>0.8) could be obtained for DM content with the entire spectral range. Also this study shows that wavelengths reduction can be applied to the problem. Starting with 163 spectral bands, the DM could be predicted with identical performances using 10% of the initial wavelengths (16 spectral bands). Thus the study demonstrates the feasibility of using VIS/NIR hyperspectral imaging in absorbance mode in order to determine a physicochemical property, namely DM, of 'Hass' avocados in a non-destructive way. Furthermore it gives some clues about which spectral bands could be useful for that purpose.

description: We search for pair-produced Dirac magnetic monopoles in 35.7 pb^-1 of proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). We find no monopole candidates corresponding to a 95% confidence-level cross-section limit sigma < 0.2 pb for a monopole with mass between 200 and 700 GeV/c^2. Assuming a Drell-Yan pair production mechanism, we set a mass limit m>360 GeV/c^2.

description: • To characterize the profile of British Columbia's youth in custody • To describe risk taking behaviour among male and female youth in custody • To estimate prevalence of sexual and substance use risk behaviours among male and female youth in custody • To determine if there are differences in sexual and substance use risk taking behaviour between male and female youth in custody • To explore the mechanisms through which gender may impact on sexually transmitted infections (self report) and injection drug use (self report) outcomes From January to August 2006, youth aged 14-19 years residing in or entering into British Columbia's three youth custody centers (Prince George, Victoria, Bumaby) were invited to participate. A confidential interviewer-administered questionnaire collecting demographic and risk factor information was completed on 414 youth; with known gender and whose anonymity was maintained. Descriptive statistics were utilized to characterize British Columbia's Youth in Custody while prevalence estimates were calculated for risk behaviours. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were utilized as a measure of effect size of gender on sexual and substance use risk taking behaviour. Logistic regression modeled the association between select risk behaviours, gender, age and ethnicity, on self report of sexually transmitted infections and injection drug use outcomes. This exploratory study provides documentation suggesting sexual and substance use health risk behaviours are found in high proportions among British Columbia youth in custody. Gender differences and patterns exist, with females disproportionately carrying the greater burden of risk taking behaviour. Such risk behaviours render youth in custody vulnerable to not only the acquisition of sexually transmitted infections and blood borne viruses, but also to obstacles impeding healthy adolescent development. Identification o f risk factors and behaviours addressing specific determinants of health can be utilized to develop and inform current public health efforts to address the needs of British Columbia's vulnerable youth in custody.

description: Microorganisms are fundamentally important in the soil habitat. They key roles in the ecosystem by controlling nutrient cycling reactions essential for maintaining soil fertility. Microbes are also active in nitrogen transformation during the cold winter season. Soil structure depends on the association between mineral partials (sand, slit, and clay) and organic matter. Although the chemistry of organic matter, total microbial biomass, and different enzymes activities in different soil size fractions have been well studied, little information is available on the structure of microbial population in microhabitats. All natural soils contain vast populations of microscopic plants and animals present in a state of dynamic equilibrium and changing balances. It has been estimated that within the top one to three feet of soil as much as 17000 pounds fungi and 40 pounds bacterial exist per acre. All soil microorganisms compete with each other for food and space. Any changes in environmental conditions such as food supply, temperature, moisture, oxygen supply etc., can result in changes which cause one or many types of soil microbes to become temporarily dominant over the others. The majority of fungi and bacteria present in soils are considered to be beneficial to higher plants. Mineral soil represents a complex of inert and living organisms. By maintaining good organic matter content in mineral soils an increased population's level of beneficial soil microorganism can be maintained. These non-pathogenic fungi and bacteria help promote well developed healthy root systems, by releasing essential elements and suppressing disease causing microorganisms. Preliminary work in this study has been done, pertaining to screening of soil microorganism such as bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes from soil in Guyana within Berbice. Additionally, calculations were done on the number of colonies of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes in different soils.

description: The existing constraints from particle colliders reveal a suspicious but nonlethal metastability for our current electroweak vacuum of Higgs potential in the standard model of particle physics, which is, however, disfavored in the early Universe if the inflationary Hubble scale is larger than the instability scale when Higgs quartic self-coupling runs into negative value. Alternative to previous trials of acquiring a positive effective mass-squared from Higgs quadratic couplings to Ricci scalar or inflaton field, we propose a third approach to stabilize the Higgs potential in the early Universe by regarding Higgs as chameleon coupled to inflaton alone without conflicting to the present constraints on either Higgs or chameleon.

description: Local magnetization measurements on 100 nm type-II superconducting Pb thin films show that flux penetration changes qualitatively with temperature. Small flux jumps at the lowest temperatures gradually increase in size, then disappear near T = 0.7Tc. Comparison with other experiments suggests that the avalanches correspond to dendritic flux protrusions. Reproducibility of the first flux jumps in a decreasing magnetic field indicates a role for defect structure in determining avalanches. We also find a temperature-independent final magnetization after flux jumps, analogous to the angle of repose of a sandpile.

description: Use of genetic engineering technology to add disease resistance to otherwise desirable varieties is an attractive approach to establishing a Vitis vinifera L.-based agriculture in the Caribbean. Endogenous genes isolated directly from grapevine were engineered for enhanced expression and transformed into V. vinifera 'Merlot', 'Shiraz' and 'Thompson Seedless', plus Vitis hybrid 'Seyval Blanc'. Transgenic plant lines were selected via greenhouse screening based on resistance to powdery mildew. Outstanding lines were vegetatively propagated and established, along with non-transgenic controls, into USDA APHIS-approved field test sites at UVI St. Croix and UF/IFAS Florida in 2007. Vines grew rapidly and began to fruit in 2008. Based on preliminary results, certain transgenic lines exhibited significant resistance to black rot and anthracnose diseases compared to non-transgenic control lines. Because these are three of the most serious tropical/subtropical fungal diseases of V. vinifera, availability of resistant lines will provide new opportunities for production in the region. Our adaptation of endogenous genes to modulate disease resistance is a first step in creating "green transgenic plants" that contain only genetic elements from grapevine, thus eliminating concerns about incorporation of foreign genes in GMOs.

description: We present a discrete model of chemotaxis whereby cells responding to a chemoattractant are seen as individual agents whose movement is described through a set of rules that result in a biased random walk. In order to take into account possible alterations in cellular motility observed at high cell densities (i.e. volume-filling), we let the probabilities of cell movement be modulated by a decaying function of the cell density. We formally show that a general form of the celebrated Patlak–Keller–Segel (PKS) model of chemotaxis can be formally derived as the appropriate continuum limit of this discrete model. The family of steady-state solutions of such a generalized PKS model are characterized and the conditions for the emergence of spatial patterns are studied via linear stability analysis. Moreover, we carry out a systematic quantitative comparison between numerical simulations of the discrete model and numerical solutions of the corresponding PKS model, both in one and in two spatial dimensions. The results obtained indicate that there is excellent quantitative agreement between the spatial patterns produced by the two models. Finally, we numerically show that the outcomes of the two models faithfully replicate those of the classical PKS model in a suitable asymptotic regime.

description: Movement of agricultural products is one of the primary means of introduction of new diseases and pests. The agricultural inspections that take place at the ports of entry target higher-risk commodities, but inspect only an estimated 1-2% of total shipments. According to the Department of Commerce (U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Trade Statistics), U.S. agricultural exports increased 26.72% from 2006 to 2007 and imports increased 10.12% over the same period. Imports from the Caribbean alone totaled $451,098,000 in 2007. The economic impact of trade cannot be underestimated, and neither should the possibilities for newly introduced pests. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of diseases and other pests is vital to any eradication efforts. In addition, communication between countries regarding pest detections increases awareness and allows for targeted survey programs. These efforts cannot happen without robust diagnostic capability and communication systems in place. The National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) was developed by the USDA-CSREES in 2002 to quickly detect and accurately diagnose plant pests and initiate communications, and has become the standard for creation of similar systems such as the International Plant Diagnostic Network (IPDN) and the Caribbean Region Diagnostic Network (CRDN). The CRDN represents this effort in the Caribbean basin, tying diagnostic laboratories and personnel together via technical training and the Digital Diagnostic and Identification System (DDIS). Participants in this network utilize a secure online system to log and share diagnostic data in a confidential environment. This coupled with technical training increases the availability of expertise in the region, and helps to establish a baseline of pest knowledge that will support phytosanitary and trade decisions.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze market reflexivity in agricultural futures contracts with different maturities. To this end, we apply a four-dimensional Hawkes model to storable and non-storable agricultural commodities. We find market reflexivity for both storable and non-storable commodities. Reflexivity accounts for about 50 to 70% of the total trading activity. Differences between nearby and deferred contracts are less pronounced for non-storable than for storable commodities. We conclude that the co-existence of exogenous and endogenous price dynamics does not change qualitative characteristics of the price discovery process that have been observed earlier without the consideration of market reflexivity.

title: 'The Devil to Pay' and its influence on eighteenth-century German Singspiel
Creators: name: Marshall, Walter Henry
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: The premiere of Christian Felix Weisse's Singspiel Der Teufel ist los, oder die verwandelten Weiber was presented at the theatre in Quandts Hof, Leipzig, on the 5th May 1766. There it won immediate success which soon spread throughout the German speaking world. The . ensuing craze for similar entertainments played an important part in the development of the genre. This was not an original piece, however, and its success was dependent upon the skill with which Weisse had contrived to combine two quite different styles. This he achieved by means of Charles Coffey's The Devil to Pay, or the Wives metamorphosed, an English ballad-opera, and Michel Jean Sedaine's Le diable a quatre, written in the form of a French opera comique. The purpose of this study is to examine Coffey's ballad-opera together with those adaptations that enabled Weisse to develop the Singspiel into a form which stood as a model for many years afterwards.

description: Observations of brown dwarfs (BDs), free-floating planetary-mass objects, and directly imaged extrasolar giant planets (EGPs) exhibit rich evidence of large-scale weather. Cloud radiative feedback has been proposed as a potential mechanism driving the vigorous atmospheric circulation on BDs and directly imaged EGPs, and yet it has not been demonstrated in three-dimensional dynamical models at relevant conditions. Here we present a series of atmospheric circulation models that self-consistently coupled dynamics with idealized cloud formation and its radiative effects. We demonstrate that vigorous atmospheric circulation can be triggered and self-maintained by cloud radiative feedback. Typical isobaric temperature variation could reach over 100 K and horizontally averaged wind speed could be several hundred m/s. The circulation is dominated by cloud-forming and clear-sky vortices that evolve over timescales from several to tens of hours. The typical horizontal lengthscale of dominant vortices is closed to the Rossby deformation radius, showing a linear dependence on the inverse of rotation rate. Stronger rotation tends to weaken the vertical transport of vapor and clouds, leading to overall thinner clouds. Domain-mean outgoing radiative flux exhibits variability over timescales of tens of hours due to the statistical evolution of storms. Different bottom boundary conditions in the models could lead to qualitatively different circulation near the observable layer. The circulation driven by cloud radiative feedback represents a robust mechanism generating significant surface inhomogeneity as well as irregular flux time variability. Our results have important implications for near-IR colors of dusty BDs and EGPs, including the scatter in the near-IR color-magnitude diagram and the viewing-geometry dependent near-IR colors.

All the analyzed countries has increased rapeseed production. The largest harvest of this plant are obtained in Poland. The increase in rapeseed production in Poland was caused by the development of domestic biofuels sector. Increased production of this plant in the Ukraine and Belarus is resulted from the increase in foreign demand. In the case of Ukraine, the production of rapeseed in the country was determined by demand from the biofuel sector in the EU. The impact of the biofuels sector in Belarus affecting the development of local production of rape is small.

description: The analysis presented points to considerable significance of return migrations in the process of the development of rural areas affected with high depopulation as a consequence of emigration after the access to the EU. Considerable potential of the migrants who are currently abroad may be successfully used to improve the functioning of peripheral areas and to repair the deformed demographic structure. Permanent local development must be based on stable human capital. Accumulation of financial capital performed by migrants from rural areas will contribute to the improvement of such areas only when trends related to the movement of human resources are reversed. This process must be related not only to the ad hoc improvement of the situation on the local market as regards the inflow of funds in the form of remittances and the presence of the multiplier effect, but should also be related to the permanent return of migrants and their families as well as investment of fixed assets and using the experience and contacts from abroad.

description: In this article, we calculate the classical vortex solution of a spontaneously broken gauge theory interacting with gravity in (2+1)-dimension. We also calculate the conditions for the formation of a (2+1)-dimensional black hole due to magnetic vortex (a Nielsen-Olesen vortex). The semiclassical Hawking temperature for this black hole is calculated, where we see that the temperature of a BTZ black hole increases or decreases without changing the size of the horizon if we insert the magnetic vortex fields in the black hole. Finally, the first law of black hole thermodynamics is described for this particular solution, which shows that the additional work terms from the scalar and gauge fields compensate the change in the temperature relative to its usual value for the BTZ solution.

title: The rationality of judgement: comparative perspectives on the social role of educational assessment
Creators: name: Broadfoot, Patricia Mary
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: The subject of this thesis is the origins and implications of the elaborate apparatus of assessment procedures which characterises educational provision in advanced industrial societies. The analysis is divided into two parts. Part I which is entitled 'Sociological Perspectives' is concerned with establishing the conceptual framework for such a study. An initial review of the literature, which delineates both the need for and the scope of such an analysis, is followed by a review which draws on comparative data to identify the major functions of educational assessment and the way in which such functions may change their form, but not their essential purpose, in response to changing social conditions. Having identified these functions as the attestation of competence, the regulation of competition and the control of both curriculum content and educational practice, subsequent chapters in Part I examine firstly-. the way in which the characteristics of industrial society give rise to the need for such educational assessment and condition its form, and secondly, how these forms and functions differ in relation to the idiosyncratic social context of different societies. Part II of the thesis comprises case studies of two national education systems - France and England. - in which the conceptual frameworks developed in Part I are applied in some detail to two very different social contexts. Each case study offers a brief historical review of the role educational assessment procedures have played in the emergence of the characteristic features of educational provision in the two countries studied and examines their contemporary role in terms of both the individual pupil and the system as a whole. ' A final, concluding chapter discusses some of the common trends which may be identified in both countries at the present time and attempts to assess their importance for the future role that education might play in such societies".

description: In this paper we present the impact of alternative data that originates from an app-based marketplace, in contrast to traditional bureau data, upon credit scoring models. These alternative data sources have shown themselves to be immensely powerful in predicting borrower behavior in segments traditionally underserved by banks and financial institutions. Our results, validated across two countries, show that these new sources of data are particularly useful for predicting financial behavior in low-wealth and young individuals, who are also the most likely to engage with alternative lenders. Furthermore, using the TreeSHAP method for Stochastic Gradient Boosting interpretation, our results also revealed interesting non-linear trends in the variables originating from the app, which would not normally be available to traditional banks. Our results represent an opportunity for technology companies to disrupt traditional banking by correctly identifying alternative data sources and handling this new information properly. At the same time alternative data must be carefully validated to overcome regulatory hurdles across diverse jurisdictions.

Shifting horizons : how teachers interpret curriculum in their practice
Creators: name: Sagal, Jane Thurgood
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This qualitative study explores how four teachers interpret the provincial arts education curriculum in their practice. During the 2002-03 school year, I discussed ideas with, and visited the classrooms of, four Elementary Level teachers over a ten-month period. These teachers were employed in a rural school division in Saskatchewan. Each teacher taught in a different school and the four schools were located in three separate communities. All grades at the Elementary Level (grades 1-5) were represented among the four teachers. I explored how these teachers interpreted the arts education curriculum in their practice through examining the "vibrant space" (Aoki, 2000) between the provincial arts education curriculum (i.e., the curriculum-as-plan) and the curriculum that was brought to life by the teachers and their students (i.e., the curriculum-as-lived). In this space, new tentative understanding emerged. To support my examination, I turned to Gadamer's (1975) philosophical hermeneutics and the critical dialogue that surrounds it. In describing the arts education curriculum, I referred to the provincial October 2002 draft of the renewed curriculum and recent research in arts education. For exploring the teachers' ideas and practices, I used individual conversations, classroom visits, group discussion, and materials such as teachers' journal entries, school newsletters, and student art works. Based on the results of this study, I claim that there are at least four conditions that influence these teachers' interpretations of curriculum. These conditions are: the individual contexts that teachers bring to bear on their interpretations of the curriculum, the informal theories shaped by these contexts, the availability of resources which support these theories to different degrees, and the reflective practice of each teacher which raises these informal theories for examination. I contend that, through the illumination of these conditions, possibilities of interpretation increase and teachers' horizons of understanding shift to incorporate these new interpretations. To assist in discovering strategies to illuminate these four conditions, a heuristic is presented in the final chapter of this thesis.

description: Tuning of electronic density-of-states singularities is a common route to unconventional metal physics. Conceptually, van Hove singularities are realized only in clean two-dimensional systems. Little attention has therefore been given to the disordered (dirty) limit. Here, we provide a magnetotransport study of the dirty metamagnetic system calcium-doped strontium ruthenate. Fermi liquid properties persist across the metamagnetic transition, but with an unusually strong variation of the Kadowaki-Woods ratio. This is revealed by a strong decoupling of inelastic electron scattering and electronic mass inferred from density-of-state probes. We discuss this Fermi liquid behavior in terms of a magnetic field tunable van Hove singularity in the presence of disorder. More generally, we show how dimensionality and disorder control the fate of transport properties across metamagnetic transitions.

description: A novel primordial spectrum with a dynamical scale of quantum gravity origin is proposed to explain the sharp fall off of the angular power spectra at low multipoles in the COBE and WMAP observations. The spectrum is derived from quantum fluctuations of the scalar curvature in a renormalizable model of induced gravity. This model describes the very early universe by the conformal field fluctuating about an inflationary background with the expansion time constant of order of the Planck mass.

description: We report quantitative neutron scattering measurements of the evolution with doping of the Néel temperature, the antiferromagnetic correlations, and the ordered moment of as-grown, nonsuperconducting Nd_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_{4\pmδ} ($0 \le x \le 0.18$). The instantaneous correlation length can be effectively described by our quantum Monte Carlo calculations for the randomly site-diluted nearest-neighbor spin-1/2 square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. However, quantum fluctuations have a stronger effect on the ordered moment, which decreases more rapidly than for the quenched-disorder model.

description: We report accelerating diffusive solutions to the diffusion equation with a constant diffusion tensor. The maximum values of the diffusion density evolve in an accelerating fashion described by Airy functions. We show the diffusive accelerating behavior for one--dimensional systems, as well as for a general three--dimensional case. We also construct a modulated modified form of the diffusion solution that retains the accelerating features.
