description: The aim of the paper is to assess consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for a local food produced in a less-favoured area in the Aragon region (Spain). In particular, we examine whether consumers value lamb meat products (lamb and suckling lamb) labelled as “Ojinegra from Teruel”, traditionally produced in these area. We use a nonhypothetical experimental auction to elicit Spanish consumers’ WTP for “Ojinegra from Teruel” labelled lamb products. Results show that consumers are willing to pay a positive premium for a lamb and suckling lamb labelled as “Ojinegra from Teruel”.

description: This paper describes the measurement of elliptic flow for charged particles in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN)=200 GeV using the PHOBOS detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The measured azimuthal anisotropy is presented over a wide range of pseudorapidity for three broad collision centrality classes for the first time at this energy. Two distinct methods of extracting the flow signal were used in order to reduce systematic uncertainties. The elliptic flow falls sharply with increasing eta at 200 GeV for all the centralities studied, as observed for minimum-bias collisions at sqrt(sNN)=130 GeV.
description: Final published version: the most substantive change to the paper is the inclusion of a complete description of how the errors from the hit-based and track-based analyses are merged to produce the 90% C.L. errors quoted for the combined results shown in Fig. 5

description: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) is a standard clinical procedure used to quantify antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Currently, the gold standard method requires incubation for 18-24 h and subsequent inspection for growth by a trained medical technologist. We demonstrate an automated, cost-effective optical system that delivers early AST results, minimizing incubation time and eliminating human errors, while remaining compatible with standard phenotypic assay workflow. The system is composed of cost-effective components and eliminates the need for optomechanical scanning. A neural network processes the captured optical intensity information from an array of fiber optic cables to determine whether bacterial growth has occurred in each well of a 96-well microplate. When the system was blindly tested on isolates from 33 patients with Staphylococcus aureus infections, 95.03% of all the wells containing growth were correctly identified using our neural network, with an average of 5.72 h of incubation time required to identify growth. 90% of all wells (growth and no-growth) were correctly classified after 7 h, and 95% after 10.5 h. Our deep learning-based optical system met the FDA-defined criteria for essential and categorical agreements for all 14 antibiotics tested after an average of 6.13 h and 6.98 h, respectively. Furthermore, our system met the FDA criteria for major and very major error rates for 11 of 12 possible drugs after an average of 4.02 h, and 9 of 13 possible drugs after an average of 9.39 h, respectively. This system could enable faster, inexpensive, automated AST, especially in resource limited settings, helping to mitigate the rise of global AMR.

description: Both governmental and non-governmental organizations are engaged in the promotion of soil and water conservation practices in northern Ghana, but adoption is believed to be low. This study thus examines the determinants of conservation practices by farming households in the area. Data for the study was collected from 445 households located in 15 communities in northern Ghana. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate probit models were used to analyse the decision to adopt six conservation practices in the area. Results show the major determinants of adoption are plot and cropping characteristics such as location; and socio-economic and institutional variables such as number of contacts with extension officers, membership in farmer association and distance to major market. A major policy implication of the study is the strengthening of extension service in the area to significantly boost conservation adoption.

description: Previous literature on random matrix and network science has traditionally employed measures derived from nearest-neighbor level spacing distributions to characterize the eigenvalue statistics of random matrices. This approach, however, depends crucially on eigenvalue unfolding procedures, which in many situations represent a major hindrance due to constraints in the calculation, specially in the case of complex spectra. Here we study the spectra of directed networks using the recently introduced ratios between nearest- and next-to-nearest eigenvalue spacing, thus circumventing the shortcomings imposed by spectral unfolding. Specifically, we characterize the eigenvalue statistics of directed Erdős-Rényi (ER) random networks by means of two adjacency matrix representations; namely (i) weighted non-Hermitian random matrices and (ii) a transformation on non-Hermitian adjacency matrices which produces weighted Hermitian matrices. For both representations, we find that the distribution of spacing ratios becomes universal for a fixed average degree, in accordance with undirected random networks. Furthermore, by calculating the average spacing ratio as a function of the average degree, we show that the spectral statistics of directed ER random networks undergoes a transition from Poisson to Ginibre statistics for model (i) and from Poisson to Gaussian Unitary Ensemble statistics for model (ii). Eigenvector delocalization effects of directed networks are also discussed.

description: Nowadays, antibiotics are a crucial part of modern medicine. As generally known, the first one which was discovered by Alexander Fleming by accident, is penicillin. Penicillin is a bactericide substance which is produced by the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum, next to other fungi species, under carbon source limited conditions. Though nowadays fermentation conditions are highly optimized for maximal production rates, there is still room for further process optimization which is topic of several research groups worldwide targeting different aspects which may lead to the desired results. The scientific approaches are various. One of them is the the impact of the growth rate (). The growth rate is in the main focus of this Thesis. As described for different strains, the viable growth rate is linked to the specific penicillin production rate, qpen. The aim of my master thesis was to examine if the stated correlation does exist for the here applied penicillin V producing strain by comparing the qpen as well as the absolute penicillin concentrations of fed-batch cultivations with different constant, viable growth rates and to identify optimal conditions. Finally, the resulting relation was explored under oxygen limited conditions. In order to compare different set points, it was necessary to establish an adequate control strategy which enabled to reach and keep the aimed specific growth rate. Therefore, a soft sensor for the specific growth rate was used which was based on the measurement of the viable biomass via capacitance measurements. The method was optimized throughout the Thesis and controlled with adequate atline as well as offline methods. After establishing an adequate control strategy, several cultivations were performed with different set points and the outcomes evaluated. Therefore, different criteria for data evaluation were used and thus the dependency of the specific penicillin production rate on the specific growth rate determined. Finally, one cultivation with a certain set point was reproduced but with a decreased dissolved oxygen level of 4% in order to explore the correlation between viable growth rate the specific growth rate and viable specific penicillin production rate under oxygen limited conditions. The resulting relation between and qpen was similar as previously published by Douma et al., 2010, revealing a specific growth rate dependence of the specific penicillin production rate. The low oxygen level of 4% of the last cultivation negatively affected the specific penicillin production rate, leading to decreased specific penicillin production rates throughout the process. Nevertheless, several cultivations with different set points have to be performed in order to specify the results.

description: With recent constraints on the propagation speed of gravitational waves, the class of scalar-tensor theories has significantly been reduced. We consider one of the surviving models still relevant for cosmology and investigate its radiative stability. The model contains operators with explicit breaking of the Galileon symmetry and we study whether they harm the re-organization of the effective field theory. Within the regime of validity we establish a non-renormalization theorem and show explicitly that the quantum corrections, to one-loop, do not detune the classical Lagrangian generating suppressed counterterms. This is striking since the non-renormalization theorem is established in the presence of a genuine Galileon symmetry breaking term.

description: I outline a unified model of high-energy astrophysics, in which the gamma background radiation, cluster "cooling flows", gamma-ray bursts, X-ray flashes and cosmic-ray electrons and nuclei of all energies -share a common origin. The mechanism underlying these phenomena is the emission of relativistic "cannonballs" by ordinary supernovae, analogous to the observed ejection of plasmoids by quasars and microquasars. I concentrate on Cosmic Rays: the longest-lasting conundrum in astrophysics. The distribution of Cosmic Rays in the Galaxy, their total "luminosity", the broken power-law spectra with their observed slopes, the position of the knee(s) and ankle(s), and the alleged variations of composition with energy are all explained in terms of simple and "standard" physics. The model is only lacking a satisfactory theoretical understanding of the "cannon" that emits the cannonballs in catastrophic episodes of accretion onto a compact object.

description: Tea has been Sri Lanka’s major export earner for several decades. However, soil erosion on tea‐producing land has had considerable on‐site and off‐site effects. This study quantifies soil erosion impacts for smallholder tea farms in Sri Lanka by estimating a yield damage function and an erosion damage function using a subjective elicitation technique. The Mitscherlich‐Spillman type of function was found to yield acceptable results. The study indicates that high rates of soil erosion require earlier adoption of soil conservation measures than do low rates of erosion. Sensitivity analysis shows the optimum year to change to a conservation practice is very sensitive to the discount rate but less sensitive to the cost of production and price of tea.

description: In dieser Arbeit geht es um den vorbildlichen Bau einer Hotelfachschule in Teheran mit einem ökologischen und nachhaltigen Energiekonzept, das auf regionale, klimatische Gegebenheiten achtet und eine umweltfreundliche Architektur schaffen soll. Hierfür wird ein Schritt zurück in die traditionelle Architektur, Bauweise und Methodik des Irans gegangen. Eine Verschmelzung zwischen moderner Architektur und traditioneller iranischer Architektur ist ein weiteres Ziel dieser Arbeit. Eine Hotelfachschule gibt es im Iran noch nicht. Abgesehen von einigen wenigen fachspezifischen Fächern an der Universität Teheran, gibt es keine Möglichkeit sich in diesem Bereich fortzubilden. Doch da der Tourismus weiterhin stark zunimmt und somit das Interesse in der Tourismusbranche, ist der Bau einer Hotelfachschule in Teheran sehr gefragt. Um mit dieser Entwicklung des Tourismus mitzugehen und die Wirtschaft der Stadt voranzutreiben, ergibt sich die Möglichkeit einer Verbindung zwischen dem bestehenden Hotel und einer Hotelfachschule. Für die Bestandsanalyse flog ich zur Besichtigung des Standortes in den Iran. Vor Ort stellte ich fest, dass das Bestandsgebäude im Süden ein ehemaliges Hotel war, das später für Dienstleistungen genutzt wurde und nach der Iranischen Revolution im Jahr 1978/79 leer stand. Schließlich wurde es für die Umnutzung der Schule gewählt.
description: The purpose of this thesis is to design a hotel academy for Tehran. With the aim of being ecological and sustainable, considering the regional conditions and the shortage of resources. Therefore we must take a step back in the history and tradition of architecture and the construction method of Iran. Inspired by the diversity a conglomeration between modern and traditional Iranian architecture is another aim to achieve for this project. With its big traditional and historical offer of culture and architecture, Iran impresses tourists more and more from one year to the next. Aside from very few minor subjects at Iranian universities, there is no possibility to become a specialist in the hotel business. To go along with this development of tourism and to promote the economy of the city, the Parsian Enghelab Hotel sees the opportunity to connect the hotel with a hotel academy. For the research I flew to Iran to visit the site. On site I realized that the existing building on the south side of the hotel Parsian Enghelab used to be a Hotel itself. Later it was in use for the service sector and was empty after the Iranian Revolution in 1978/79. By now the conversion of the building to a hotel academy was approved.

description: The impact of large-distance contributions on the behaviour of the slopes of the spin-non-flip and of the spin-flip amplitudes is analysed. It is shown that the long tail of the hadron potential in impact parameter space leads to a larger value of the slope for the spin-flip amplitude (without the kinematic factor sqrt(|t|)) than for the spin-non-flip amplitude. This effect is taken into account in the calculation of the analysing power in proton-nucleus reactions at high energies.

description: We evaluate the impact of different information sequences on participants’ hypothetical willingness to pay (WTP) for food produced using nanotechnology. In three treatment groups, information on the health, societal, or environmental impact linked to nanotechnology was revealed in different sequences: an imposed order, a chosen order, and a chosen order after a discussion among participants. Results show that information choice is important. While in the imposed order, the first information revealed has no effect on WTP, the information chosen first has a strong impact. Discussion has no further impact. Health information was a priority and significantly decreased WTP, while societal and environmental information did not significantly influence WTP.

description: In the past decade, the precise measurement of the lastly known neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$ has enabled the resolution of neutrino mass hierarchy (MH) at medium-baseline reactor neutrino oscillation (MBRO) experiments. On the other hand, recent calculations of the reactor neutrino flux predict percent-level sub-structures in the $\barν_e$ spectrum due to Coulomb effects in beta decay. Such fine structure in the reactor spectrum could be an important issue for the determination of neutrino MH for the MBRO approach since they could affect the sub-dominant oscillation pattern used to discriminate different hierarchies. Inconveniently, the energy resolutions of current reactor experiments are not sufficient to measure such fine structure, and therefore the size and location in energy of these predicted discontinuities has not been confirmed experimentally. There has been speculation that a near detector is required with sufficient energy resolution to resolve the fine structure such that it can be accounted for in any analysis which attempts to discriminate the MH. This article studies the impact of fine structure on the resolution of MH, based on the predicted reactor neutrino spectra, using the measured spectrum from Daya Bay as a reference. We also investigate whether a near detector could improve the sensitivity of neutrino MH resolution using various assumptions of near detector energy resolution.

description: The phase transformations, microstructure and properties of two Medium-Mn processed via quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels were compared in this contribution and a new strategy for controlling mechanical properties by introducing and controlling cold-worked ferrite prior to heat treatment of the steels is proposed. It was found that during heating, the recovery and recrystallization of cold-worked ferrite compete with austenitization, thereby inhibiting the coarsening of austenite. Numerical simulations reveal that cold-worked ferrite interface will significantly delay the austenitization kinetics during the partitioning local equilibrium (PLE) stage, as compared to martensite. This delay leads to the refinement of parent austenite, imparting it with enhanced thermal stability and increased morphological diversity. Moreover, this ferrite effectively prevents variants selection and coarsening. As a result, the randomly distributed variants increase the number of effective grain boundaries, resulting in an enhancement of yield strength. The intercritical annealing process at a temperature of 860 °C resulted in the formation of fresh martensite-retained austenite (M/RA) constituents exhibiting a remarkably fine (<2μm) and uniform grain morphology. This microstructure yielded substantial improvement in both the strength and ductility of the steel. The proposed treatment led to excellent elongation (24%) at fracture, combined with very high ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of 1345 MPa and 1163 MPa, respectively, of the steel, resulting in a product of strength and elongation that exceed 32 GPa%.

description: It is argued that in the case of a smooth transition across a (dilaton-driven) curvature bounce the growing mode of the vector fluctuations matches continuously with a decaying mode at later times. Analytical examples of this observation are given both in the presence and in the absence of fluid sources. In the case of multidimensional bouncing models the situation is different, since the system of differential equations describing the vector modes of the geometry has a richer structure. The amplification of the vector modes of the geometry is specifically investigated in a regular five-dimensional bouncing curvature model where scale factors of the external and internal manifolds evolve at a dual rate. Vector fluctuations, in this case, can be copiously produced and are continuous across the bounce. The relevance of these results is critically illustrated.

description: Due to the rapidly increasing number of flights and high usage of VHF channels, the VHF spectrum is becoming much more crowded, and use of analog waveforms will likely not maintain the required performance. Therefore, digital communications have been considered due to larger spectral efficiency. Notably, VHF data link modes 2 and 3 (VDL2 and 3) using D8PSK modulation has been proposed. VDL2 and 3 received attention due to its simplicity and more constant amplitude waveform, yielding lower PAPR. Recently, advanced VHF digital link (A-VDL) was proposed for VHF. This scheme enables use of essentially the same platform as VDL except for the physical layer processing, including modulation. The proposed A-VDL, following DVB-S2 standard, uses APSK modulation with higher modulation order than VDL, hence providing higher spectral efficiency than VDL. Compared to the widely used QAM, APSK is more resistant to amplifier amplitude and phase distortions. Thus, APSK has become of interest for satellite communications, as well as VHF communications in A-VDL. In this paper, we investigate other advanced technologies such as channel encoding technique low-density parity-check (LDPC), more efficient standardized voice encoders, as well as better pulse shaping filters than the classical square-root raised-cosine filter used in VDL and A-VDL. Via simulations and analysis, we compare the proposed scheme's link margin, PAPR, and spectral efficiency compared to VDL and A-VDL, which both use Reed Solomon (RS) encoding. In addition, as another way of generating the same VDL waveforms (or possibly other single-carrier aeronautical band waveforms), we investigate the single-carrier type waveform used in cellular LTE and 5G uplink communication links, the discrete Fourier transform-spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM), and discuss how we can take advantage of using the same LTE and 5G hardware resources.

title: GPR171 Modulates Mood, Consummatory Behaviors, And Morphine Antinociception in a Sexually Dimorphic Pattern in Mice
Creators: name: Raddatz, Megan C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Receptors in the brain influence everything from complex behaviors related to mood, all the way to simple physiological functions like the way a person moves. Receptors are activated or inactivated by chemicals or hormones that the body produces or that are created to mimic the body’s natural chemicals. Of the hundreds of receptors in the brain, GPR171 is particularly interesting because new drugs have been created to activate or block the receptor, and are being proposed for the treatment of different disorders, particularly disorders related to pain. GPR171 has been shown to affect pain behaviors, eating, and mood-related behaviors, but has not been well researched beyond these few studies. In addition, it is not clear what GPR171 does in females, as they have not been included in most of the research of the receptor. In our research, we explored how GPR171 affects females, particularly in anxiety, depression, and stress, to better understand its role. We also used a new method involving mice genetically modified to lack GPR171 to investigate its broader influence on behaviors such as eating, body functions, mood, and pain, directly comparing the results between male and female mice. Our findings show that blocking GPR171 in female mice reduced anxiety-like behaviors and was influenced by estrogen, suggesting that hormones may change how GPR171 works. We also show that mice without GPR171 displayed changes in eating behavior, movement coordination, anxiety, and depression, which were dependent on the sex of the mice. Additionally, these modified mice showed a reduced response to morphine, a common pain medication, confirming that GPR171 is necessary for morphine to work properly. Overall, this dissertation underscores the importance of GPR171 in controlling various behaviors and bodily functions. It shows that this receptor is essential for normal functioning and that its effects can differ significantly between males and females. This highlights the need to consider these differences as treatments targeting this receptor for various medical conditions are being developed.

Dynamic structure factor of ultracold Bose and Fermi gases in optical lattices

description: We investigate the dynamic structure factor of atomic Bose and Fermi gases in one-dimensional optical lattices at zero temperature. The focus is on the generic behaviour of S(k,omega) as function of filling and interaction strength with the aim of identifying possible experimental signatures for the different quantum phase transitions. We employ the Hubbard or Bose-Hubbard model and solve the eigenvalue problem of the Hamiltonian exactly for moderate lattice sizes. This allows us to determine the dynamic structure factor and other observables directly in the phase transition regime, where approximation schemes are generally not applicable. We discuss the characteristic signatures of the various quantum phases appearing in the dynamic structure factor and illustrate that the centroid of the strength distribution can be used to estimate the relevant excitation gaps. Employing sum rules, these quantities can be evaluated using ground state expectation values only. Important differences between bosonic and fermionic systems are observed, e.g., regarding the origin of the excitation gap in the Mott-insulator phase.

Testing assumptions : the recent history of forest cover in Nakai-Nam Theun National Protected Area, Laos

description: In Laos, as in much of Southeast Asia, swidden agriculture is commonly blamed as a primary driver of forest loss. The foremost policy initiative of the Lao Department of Forestry is to replace traditional swidden agriculture with other forms of rural livelihood. This has percolated down to donor-supported management planning for the largest nature reserve in Laos or Vietnam, Nakai-Nam Theun National Protected Area (NNT NPA) in the Annamite Mountains of central Laos. But 'swidden' is a collective term for a spectrum of cultivation strategies of varying intensity and environmental consequences, and its presumed deleterious impact on the forest cover of NNT NPA is an untested assumption. I tested the assumption by methods of historical ecology, plotting the patterns of NNT's forest cover and human settlement over the past several decades. Principal sources of data were topographic maps dating back to 1943, and Landsat images from 1976, 1989 and 2001. The analysis showed that, although NNT has been inhabited for hundreds and possibly thousands of years, it retained more than 95% forest cover until the mid-1960s. Subsequently, forest declined at 0.5%/year until the 1980s, followed by an increase of ca. 0.3%/year to the present day. Over the same period, forest cover declined in Laos as a whole at 1.7%/year, and in two protected areas near NNT at more than 3%/year. The earlier deforestation that occurred in NNT, to the 1980s, expanded little into the unbroken forest of the reserve, but was contained almost entirely within a swidden/forest mosaic whose boundaries already existed in the 1960s. At present, the main pressure on NNT's forest is from villages outside the reserve's northern border, not within. Two factors best account for the stability of NNT's forest cover in the face of increasing population. First, human settlement has been remarkably stable in NNT since at least the 1940s, with few changes in the number or location of villages. This stability places practical limits on the extent of forest clearance by the area's residents. Population density within the existing swidden/forest mosaic (about 1/5 of NNT's area) is probably still below carrying capacity for swidden livelihoods. Second, NNT has seen an unprecedented escalation in wildlife trade in the last twenty years. Income earned from wildlife trade may have allowed NNT's residents to purchase rice to feed growing populations, instead of clearing more forest to grow it. The implication for management is that swidden itself is not the primary threat to NNT's forest, growing human population is. Given limitations on agricultural intensification in NNT, in the absence of population stabilization efforts to suppress wildlife trade could stimulate an increase in swidden, and vice-versa.

description: We derive eigenvalue asymptotics for Sturm--Liouville operators with singular complex-valued potentials from the space $W^{\al-1}_{2}(0,1)$, $\al\in[0,1]$, and Dirichlet or Neumann--Dirichlet boundary conditions. We also give application of the obtained results to the inverse spectral problem of recovering the potential from these two spectra.

title: Livelihood after Relocation — Evidences of Guchchagram Project in Bangladesh

description: Due to climate change and its consequences to islands and coastal countries, the relocation of the people living in those vulnerable places has received a lot of attention from policy makers as well as academicians. There have been similar kinds of programs running in Bangladesh since the country’s independence in 1971, and people who are landless or victimized due to river bank erosion, cyclones, or floods have been relocated under the umbrella program called ‘Guchchagram’, i.e., cluster villages. Different ruling parties had used different names for the project due to the financial nature of the project, but none of them have significantly differed from the overall goals and objectives of relocated settlements and the betterment of the landless and extreme event victims. Particularly, this study asks how and to what extent the livelihood of relocated households has changed, and what the potentials and constraints of the relocated settlements are. Based on an empirical study at four Guchchagrams of Gopalganj Sadar Upazila, the study shows that there is a significant improvement in the livelihood conditions of the migrated people, but the locational disadvantages and access to agricultural production, the local employment market, and some of the targeted objectives of the project have not achieved. To some extent, the rehabilitated families have similar risks as they had before; however, available agricultural lands and proper allocation can reduce such livelihood risks.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
