description: This paper provides new evidence on the pattern of individual subjective welfare after a natural experiment in policy-led rural development, and aims to identify the causal relationships between subjective welfare and political opinions on the effects of the policy change. I adopt a structural approach by introducing a reference-based utility function that contains a signal of individual participation in the policy change, which is conveyed by political opinions. Using data collected in cotton areas of Burkina Faso, several simultaneous estimations are performed to analyze seemingly covariant political opinions on the recent cotton reform and changes in subjective wealth, while addressing measurement issues related to subjective indicators as well as heterogeneity in latent psychological factors. In addition to absolute and relative indicators of wealth, the large increase in subjective wealth is found to be driven by enthusiastic opinions about the reform’s effects on welfare and poverty alleviation, as well as by technical and institutional changes. The endogenous impact of political opinions on subjective wealth underlies the partial appropriation of the reform’s welfare effects by farmers.

description: We present simultaneous EUV and infrared (J,K) observations of the polar HU Aqr obtained during August 1998 when the star was in a high mass accretion state. EUV and IR light curves and EUV spectra are presented and compared with previous observations. The accretion region on the white dwarf has increased in temperature (124,000K to 240,000K) and radius (0.04 R$_{WD}$ to 0.06 R$_{WD} $) compared with previous EUV observations made during low mass accretion states. The EUV and IR photometric observations are shown to have a similar appearance as a function o f orbital phase. The EUV photometry shows rapid changes and provides evidence for mass accretion via blobs. The high state IR light curves present an asymmetric double-humped shape with J=14.8 and K=14.1. We applied an ellipsoidal model fit to the observations and the result indicates that the cause of the modulated shape is both due to ellipsoidal variations from the Roche Lobe filling secondary star and a complex flux combination probably dominated at all orbital phases by cyclotron emission. The source of maximum cyclotron emission appears to be in the accretion column high above the white dwarf surface.

description: We propose that some of the high-latitude unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources could be the result of gravitational lensing amplification of the innermost regions of distant, faint, active galactic nuclei. These objects have gamma-ray emitting regions small enough as to be affected by microlensing of stars in interposed galaxies. We compute the gravitational amplification taking into account effects of the host galaxy of the lens and prove that, whereas the innermost gamma-ray regions can be magnified up to thousand times, there is no amplification at radio frequencies, leading to the observed absence of strong counterparts. Some new effects in the spectral evolution of a gravitational microlensed gamma-ray AGN are predicted. Within a reasonable range of lensing parameters, and/or types of sources, both variable and non-variable EGRET detections at high latitudes can be explained by microlensing. The same phenomenon could also have an important incidence among the future GLAST detections at high-latitudes.

description: Using WFPC2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we have created deep color-magnitude diagrams in the V and I passbands for approximately 100,000 stars in a field at the center of the LMC bar and another in the disk. The main--sequence luminosity functions (LFs) from 19 mag < V < 23.5 mag, the red clump and horizontal branch morphologies, and the differential Hess diagram of the two fields all strongly imply that the disk and bar have significantly different star-formation histories (SFHs). The disk's SFH has been relatively smooth and continuous over the last 15 Gyr while the bar's SFH was dominated by star formation episodes at intermediate ages. Comparison of the LF against predictions based on Padova theoretical stellar evolution models and an assumed age-metallicity relationship allows us to identify the dominant stellar populations in the bar with episodes of star formation that occurred from 4 to 6 and 1 to 2 Gyr ago. These events accounted, respectively, for approximately 25% and 15% of its stellar mass. The disk field may share a mild enhancement in SF for the younger episode, and thus we identify the 4 to 6 Gyr episode with the formation of the LMC bar.

description: This paper summarizes the current state-of-the-art in geomorphometry and describes some of the innovations that are imminent and will be required to push digital terrain modelling forward in the future. This is a special moment in time given the new opportunities afforded by advances in computing on the one hand and the explosive growth in the numbers and kinds of elevation data sources on the other hand. The development and adoption of new methods and the coupling of theory and geocomputation will provide new opportunities to describe and simulate landscape performance, which refers here to how form and function (i.e. pattern and process) are likely to produce different outcomes in different settings.

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.

description: A thought experiment is designed to investigate whether the structure of risk aversion (i.e., the changes in absolute or relative risk aversion associated with changes in wealth) can be estimated with reasonable precision from agricultural production data. Findings strongly suggest that typical production data are unlikely to allow identification of the structure of risk aversion. A flexible utility parameterization is found to slightly worsen technology parameter estimates. Results also indicate that even under a restricted utility specification, utility parameter estimates are biased. Further, their quality is much worse when shocks are not large or samples are small.
title: Large-Scale Laboratory Study on Behaviour of Reactive Soil from Southeast Queensland and its Practical Applications
Creators: name: Saily, Mohit
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: geosynthetics
subject: extreme rainfall patterns
subject: expansive soil

description: Reactive/ expansive soils are a type of soil that undergo significant volume changes in response to changes in moisture content. These soils typically contain clay minerals, such as montmorillonite, which have the ability to absorb water and expand, leading to swelling. Conversely, during dry periods, these soils can also shrink, leading to subsidence and structural damage to buildings, roads, and other light weight infrastructure. Over recent decades, extensive research has been dedicated to understanding the influence of initial conditions on soil swell by numerous researchers. However, a predominant focus of this research has been on small-scale oedometer tests. Although some researchers have conducted large-scale laboratory and field experiments, their implementation has been constrained by factors such as cost, time limitations, and technical complexities. Nevertheless, with anticipated shifts in rainfall patterns due to climate change, a notable gap persists in the literature regarding the impact of these patterns on soil swell. Addressing this gap, this study aims to investigate the effects of two distinct rainfall patterns, Rainfall pattern 1(RP1) and Rainfall Pattern 2 (RP2), on the swelling behaviour of reactive soil through a series of large-scale long-term soil column experiments. The study seeks to explain the mechanisms influencing swelling behaviour and compare the obtained data with existing swell prediction methods to validate commonly used approaches in soil swelling analysis. Furthermore, the study attempts to examine the influence of different geosynthetics on the swelling behaviour of reactive soil. [...]
Duality family of scalar field

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: We show that there exists a duality family of self-interacting massive scalar fields. The scalar field in a duality family are related by a duality transformation. Such a duality of scalar fields is a field version of the Newton-Hooke duality in classical mechanics. The duality transformation preserves the type of the field equation: transforming a Klein-Gordon type equation to another Klein-Gordon type equation with a different self-interacting potential. Once a field in a duality family is solved, all other family members are solved by the transformation. That is, a series of exactly solvable models can be constructed from one exactly solvable model. The dual field of the power-interaction field, the sine-Gordon field, etc., are considered. Moreover, as a comparison, we show an analogue of the duality in classical and quantum mechanics.
The phase space acceptance of a helical quadrupole channel of finite length
Creators: name: Ohnuma, Shoroku
Publisher: name: TRIUMF
Year: 2015

description: The acceptance region in the four-dimensional phase space of a helical quadrupole channel has been investigated numerically. The two transverse directions are strongly coupled and the projection on the (x, x') plane of the four-dimensional acceptance region is not independent of (y, y'). If such a channel is used as a pion or a muon channel, it has to be matched to quadrupoles and bending magnets so that its effective acceptance would become smaller than the acceptance region in the four-dimensional phase space. In calculating the acceptance, a circular aperture has been assumed. Also, the axial magnetic field B₂ is assumed to be small so that the transverse equations of motion are linear.

description: This submission tackles the issue of reusability and replication of experiments and other forms of spatial analysis from the perspective of eScience or eResearch—a community that has been deliberately grappling with this issue for many years—and applies it to our geocomputational and GIScience methods and models.Most of the effort that routinely goes into our analysis and modelling efforts is not documented in any consistent or accessible way. It might be in part referable from scripts and code we use, and from the ‘methods’ section of papers that we write. But by and large much of the background, context and process of research remain unrecorded. This makes reproducibility hard (or intractable) and reusability nigh on impossible. Funding agencies worldwide are beginning to insist that we do better, and this pressure is now beginning to be felt in geography and the spatial sciences as well as inpsychology and biology (where the science ‘reproducibility crisis’ began).We describe several approaches to improve reusability and reproducibility for geocomputational work, and point to best practice from other disciplines as appropriate. (The presentation will elaborate on each of these headings and give examples relevant to geocomputation and spatial analysis.

Exact agreement is found between the quasi-normal frequencies and the location of the poles of the retarded correlation function of the corresponding perturbations in the dual conformal field theory. This then provides a new quantitative test of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: ERS research shows that away-from-home meals and snacks tend to contain more calories and to be of lower nutritional quality than food prepared at home. Recent legislation will require chain restaurants across the United States to list calorie information on their menus and menu boards. Calorie disclosure may prompt consumers to substitute menu items that lower their caloric intakes and may encourage restaurants to offer lower calorie options.
Nonlinear dynamo models using quasi-biennial oscillations constrained by sunspot area data

description: Contex: Solar magnetic activity exhibits variations with periods between 1.5--4 years, the so-called quasi-biennial oscillations (QBOs), in addition to the well-known 11-year Schwabe cycles. Solar dynamo is thought to be the responsible mechanism for generation of the QBOs. Aims: In this work, we analyse sunspot areas to investigate the spatial and temporal behaviour of the QBO signal and study the responsible physical mechanisms using simulations from fully nonlinear mean-field flux-transport dynamos. Methods: We investigated the behaviour of the QBOs in the sunspot area data in full disk, and northern and southern hemispheres, using wavelet and Fourier analyses. We also ran solar dynamos with two different approaches to generating a poloidal field from an existing toroidal field, Babcock-Leighton and turbulent $α$ mechanisms. We then studied the simulated magnetic field strengths as well as meridional circulation and differential rotation rates using the same methods. Results: The results from the sunspot areas show that the QBOs are present in the full disk and hemispheric sunspot areas and they show slightly different spatial and temporal behaviours, indicating a slightly decoupled solar hemispheres. The QBO signal is generally intermittent and in-phase with the sunspot area data, surfacing when the solar activity is in maximum. The results from the BL-dynamos showed that they are neither capable of generating the slightly decoupled behaviour of solar hemispheres nor can they generate QBO-like signals. The turbulent $α$-dynamos, on the other hand, generated decoupled hemispheres and some QBO-like shorter cycles. Conclusions: In conclusion, our simulations show that the turbulent $α$-dynamos with the Lorentz force seems more efficient in generating the observed temporal and spatial behaviour of the QBO signal compared with those from the BL-dynamos.

description: We describe the formulation of a simple method of water source tracing for computational models of flood inundation and demonstrate its implementation within CAESAR-Lisflood. Water source tracing can provide additional insight into flood dynamics by accounting for flow pathways. The method developed is independent of the hydraulic formulation used, allowing it to be implemented in other model codes. In addition, we developed a method which allows up to three water sources to be visualised in RGBcolour-space, while continuing to allow depth to be resolved. We show the application of the methods developed for the 2005 flood event at Carlisle, United Kingdom.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Statistical Finance (q-fin.ST)

description: Before the massive spread of computer technology, information was far from complex. The development of technology shifted the paradigm: from individuals who faced scarce and costly information to individuals who face massive amounts of information accessible at low costs. Nowadays we are living in the era of big data and investors deal every day with a huge flow of information. In the spirit of the modern idea that economic agents have limited computational capacity, we propose an original model using information overload to show how too much information could cause financial markets to depart from the traditional assumption of informational efficiency. We show that when information tends to infinite, the efficient market hypothesis ceases to be true. This happens also for lower levels of information, when the use of the maximum amount of information is not optimal for investors. The present work can be a stimulus to consider more realistic economic models and it can be further deepened including other realistic features present in financial markets, such as information asymmetry or noise in the transmission of information.

description: A market price for carbon emission reductions would allow livestock producers with methane digesters to earn additional revenue from trapping and burning methane from manure. Greater income from reducing methane emissions could substantially increase the number of livestock producers who would find it profitable to install methane digesters. Large-scale hog and dairy operations with lagoon manure management systems are likely to benefit most from a higher carbon price, which could have longrun structural implications for the livestock sector.

description: We establish what we consider to be the definitive versions of Jensen's operator inequality and Jensen's trace inequality for functions defined on an interval. This is accomplished by the introduction of genuine non-commutative convex combinations of operators, as opposed to the contractions used in earlier versions of the theory. As a consequence, we no longer need to impose conditions on the interval of definition. We show how this relates to the pinching inequality of Davis, and how Jensen's trace inequlity generalizes to C*-algebras..

description: Understanding protein-ligand interactions at the molecular level is of great importance in drug discovery, given that most drugs exhibit their therapeutic effects by interacting with proteins. Amongst the over 20,000 proteins identified in the human proteome, a mere 11% have been liganded, which is quite low compared to the estimated 22% - 40% of the proteome that is potentially druggable but currently not liganded. New analytical techniques are imperative to the discovery of biologically active molecules and the identification of their protein targets. Extensive research endeavours have been made towards this pursuit, with mass spectrometry (MS) emerging as a robust platform for investigating these interactions. This thesis delves into the advancement of MS-based methodologies for enabling screening of small molecules against proteins, including soluble proteins, proteins within cell lysates, and membrane proteins.

description: There is a growing demand for redirected walking (RDW) techniques and their application. To apply appropriate RDW methods and manipulation, the RDW controllers are predominantly used. There are three types of RDW controllers: direct scripted controller, generalized controller, and predictive controller. The scripted controller type pre-scripts the mapping between the real and virtual environments. The generalized controller type employs the RDW method and manipulation quantities according to a certain procedure depending on the user's position in relation to the real space. This approach has the potential to be reused in any environment; however, it is not fully optimized. The predictive controller type predicts the user's future path using the user's behavior and manages RDW techniques. This approach is highly anticipated to be very effective and versatile; however, it has not been sufficiently developed. This paper proposes a novel RDW controller using reinforcement learning (RL) with advanced plannability/versatility. Our simulation experiments indicate that the proposed method can reduce the number of reset manipulations, which is one of the indicators of the effectiveness of the RDW controller, compared to the generalized controller under real environments with many obstacles. Meanwhile, the experimental results also showed that the gain output by the proposed method oscillates. The results of a user study conducted showed that the proposed RDW controller can reduce the number of resets compared to the conventional generalized controller. Furthermore, no adverse effects such as cybersickness associated with the oscillation of the output gain were evinced. The simulation and user studies demonstrate that the proposed RDW controller with RL outperforms the existing generalized controllers and can be applied to users.

Vacuum system model study for a 500 MeV H⁻ cyclotron

Publisher: name: TRIUMF
Year: 2015

description: Using a 1 : 20 scale model of the TRIUMF vacuum chamber, simulation of chamber pumpdown performance with two different pumping system designs is described. Large trapped oil diffusion pumps and a 20°K cryopumping system, having auxilary means for pumping hydrogen, are compared in relation to the design criterion of an equivalent nitrogen stripping cross-section pressure of 7 x 10⁻⁸ Torr within 15 hours of pumping. It is shown that the design criterion can be satisfied by the cryopumping system only, when a polyurethane main chamber seal is used; for this condition resonator bakeout is not required. This result will be valid for the full-scale machine, provided the outgassing rate of the resonator surfaces does not exceed that from the model resonators by more than a factor of 3. The component outgassing rates for stainless steel with different surface treatments are discussed. Data obtained prior to and following bakeout under vacuum to 80°C and 140°C, and air baking to 150°C, are considered. The gas loads from a variety of radiation-resistant elastomers are studied; different processing treatments for polyurethane receive particular attention. A comparison is made of the predicted pumpdown performance using measured outgassing rate data and the simulated performance in the model chamber. The effect of different chamber exposure conditions on pumpdown time is described; nitrogen venting has shown to be worth while only if the exposure time to moist air is limited. A comparative study of the conductance and rate of rise methods of measuring outgassing rates and an established correlation between the rate of depletion of gas from a material and the magnitude of the pumping speed above the surface both confirm the general predictions of the surface pumping theory of Hobson and Earnshaw.

description: We explore the morphological and dynamical evolution of galaxy clusters in simulations using scalar and vector-valued Minkowski valuations and the concept of fundamental plane relations. In this context, three questions are of fundamental interest: 1. How does the average cluster morphology depend on the cosmological background model? 2. Is it possible to discriminate between different cosmological models using cluster substructure in a statistically significant way? 3. How is the dynamical state of a cluster, especially its distance from a virial equilibrium, correlated to its visual substructure? To answer these questions, we quantify cluster substructure using a set of morphological order parameters constructed on the basis of the Minkowski valuations (MVs). The dynamical state of a cluster is described using global cluster parameters: in certain spaces of such parameters fundamental band-like structures are forming indicating the emergence of a virial equilibrium. We find that the average distances from these fundamental structures are correlated to the average amount of cluster substructure for our cluster samples during the time evolution. Furthermore, significant differences show up between the high- and the low-Omega models. We pay special attention to the redshift evolution of morphological characteristics and find large differences between the cosmological models even for higher redshifts.

description: We discuss how gravitational waves could amplify seed magnetic fields to strengths capable of supporting the galactic dynamo. We consider the interaction of a weak magnetic field with gravity wave distortions in almost FRW cosmologies and find that the magnitude of the original field is amplified proportionally to the wave induced shear anisotropy and, crucially, proportionally to the square of the field's initial scale. The latter makes our mechanism particularly efficient when operating on superhorizon sized magnetic fields, like those produced during inflation. In that case, the achieved amplification can easily boost magnetic strengths, which may still lie relatively close to the galactic dynamo lower limits, well within the currently accepted range.

description: Dokument erstellt im Zusammenhang mit Projekt TrilaWatt /// Zusammenfassung: Die exakte Bestimmung von Wattgrenzen ist eine komplexe Aufgabe: Die räumliche und zeitliche
Variabilität von Tidehoch- und -niedrigwasser führt zu einer Vielzahl an möglichen Ausdehnungen
auf täglichen, monatlichen, jährlichen oder dekadischen Zeitskalen. Diese bereits große Variabilität
wird zusätzlich von der langfristigen Veränderung von Tide und Topographie überlagert. In diesem
Use-Case wurden Daten des TrilaWatt-Projekts angewendet, um eine jahresgemittelte
Ausdehnung des Watts im Jahr 2020 zu bestimmen. Watt, auch intertidale Zone, wird aus den
jahresgemittelten Tidehoch- und niedrigwasser Berechnungen des digitalen Zwillings bestimmt.
Die Intertidalfläche ist somit eine Konsequenz der Verschneidung von Topographie und jährlichen,
mittleren Tidehoch- und Tideniedrigwasserdaten des numerischen Modells. Aus diesen Arbeiten
wurden neue Datenprodukte zur topographischen Beschreibung der Gezeitenzone abgeleitet.

description: Photogrammetric surface restitution has considerably improved, with advances in stereo-matching algorithms allowing dense and relatively clean digital surface models to be created from triangulated stereo-imagery. Nevertheless, application to scanned historical analogue imagery inchallenging contrast is exposed to noise due to fi lm grain. Restitution can produce ancillary information about the intersection error from homologous rays that measure the quality of the match. This paper proposes and demonstrates a post-processing method to filter the resulting surface with thin-plate smoothing spline. The level of smoothing is locally adaptive to allow the topography to be preserved when correctly restituted, while signi ficantly reducing noise onlow-contrast areas.

description: Pattern correlation techniques are commonly used in Particle Image Velocimetry studies to calculate tracer particle velocity in fluids or gases. The techniques can be further improved and used to track landscape scale moving thermal patterns in time sequenced infrared images to estimate a spatial advection velocity field.This study presents a validation and parametric sensitivity test of commonly used image correlation techniques using data produced from a numerical weather model and field observations from a longwave infrared camera. The numerical simulations aimed to create three different wind speed pattern cases to analyze the performance of four different image velocimetry techniques and compare the estimated velocity field to the model's velocity field. A sensitivity test was carried out with various combinations of required user input to find the best performing image velocimetry techniques. These were then applied to a dataset of surface temperature of an artificial hockey turf field taken with an infrared (IR) camera to test the algorithms in real world conditions and to directly compare the estimated velocity to in-situ measured wind velocity.
The velocimetry algorithms are especially accurate when there is low complexity in ow structure (root mean square error: 0.4: Structural Similarity: 0.81). The comparison of the IR image velocimetry with the in-situ measurements on the hockey turf field shows accurate representation of the 10 minute mean wind direction and the mean wind speed with a maximal absolute error of 0.8 for the wind direction. If the comparison is done on a one minute average basis the accuracy of the image velocimetry decreases when the wind speed drops.

description: Reinforcements in metal composites are usually dispersed at grain boundaries. We here show that the rapid solidification during laser additive manufacturing enables the spontaneous engulfment of reinforcing particles inside aluminum grains, which helps to decouple the stress concentration induced by grain boundaries and reinforcements. The additively manufactured TiB2-Al composite possesses 30% increase in tensile strength and nearly tripled ductility as compared with composite obtained by the traditional method. Our experimental investigations indicate that the intragranular dispersion of particles not only inhibits crack nucleation but also promotes strain hardening, leading to the remarkably enhanced mechanical properties. Metal composite with intragranular dispersion of reinforcing particles can be achieved through additive manufacturing, which alleviates stress concentration and possesses much-improved ductility.

description: We report the first fully self-consistent calculations of the nonlinear optical properties of superlattices. The materials investigated are mono-layer superlattices with GaP grown on the the top of InP, AlP and GaAs (110) substrates. We use the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the generalized gradient approximation to obtain the frequency dependent dielectric tensor and the second-harmonic-generation susceptibility. The effect of lattice relaxations on the linear optical properties are studied. Our calculations show that the major anisotropy in the optical properties is the result of strain in GaP. This anisotropy is maximum for the superlattice with maximum lattice mismatch between the constituent materials. In order to differentiate the superlattice features from the bulk-like transitions an improvement over the existing effective medium model is proposed. The superlattice features are found to be more pronounced for the second-order than the linear optical response indicating the need for full supercell calculations in determining the correct second-order response.
