description: This paper explains the development and implementation of a methodology for assessing the economic impacts of large-scale environmental regulations. The development process began with a literature review surveying channels through which environmental regulations might influence economic performance. Avenues deemed suitable were incorporated into a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the California economy. This model is based on the California Department of Finance's Dynamic Revenue Analysis Model (DRAM). Modifications to DRAM for the current project include a revised sectoring scheme that features industries of particular regulatory interest, revamped data matrices that accommodate this new sectoring scheme, a new air pollution module, programming options designed to facilitate the simulation of environmental regulations, and enhanced output reporting that highlights income, production, employment, and price responses to proposed regulatory changes. The new model, E-DRAM, is implemented, policy experiments are run, and their results are interpreted. A brief time-series exploration of state-product, pollution prevention costs, and pollution follows. In it, vector auto regression (VAR) techniques are used to investigate the relationship between Gross State Product (GSP), pollution prevention expenditures, and levels of pollution. Findings suggests that the cost of holding pollution levels constant increases with GSP and that the cost of pollution control given asp rise as ambient pollution levels fall. This line inquiry will be more fruitful as more data becomes available.

description: We discuss the use of the low-momentum nucleon-nucleon NN interaction V-low-k in the derivation of the shell-model effective interaction and emphasize its practical value as an alternative to the Brueckner G-matrix method. We present some selected results of our current study of exotic nuclei around closed shells, which have been obtained starting from the CD-Bonn potential. We also show some results of calculations performed with different phase-shift equivalent NN potentials, and discuss the effect of changes in the cutoff momentum which defines the V-low-k potential.

description: The opening of a new site for the production of aggregates has both direct and indirect impacts on the environment. The indirect impacts include changes in the environmental costs of hauling aggregates and possible changes in the level of construction activity. In this note, we show that the most likely effect of a new aggregate site is to reduce the truck miles used for aggregate hauling, which is an environmental benefit. We also show that the change in construction activity induced by a new site is likely to be extremely small.

description: This paper describes a comparison on farmers’ participation in farmers’ organisations and attempts to explain why they prefer to carry out production and marketing activities by themselves. It also examines the implications of the findings for rural extension and related services. A total of 122 interviews were conducted with different categories of farmers and with the extension workers. The comparative analysis of two case studies (Cruz Alta and Pantano) showed that socio-economic characteristics were not very significant in determining the level of farmers’ participation in farmers’ organizations in Minas Gerais. The ability of managers emerged as one of the most important factors in the success or failure of farmers’ organizations. The presence of private competitors can also greatly determine the direction and the destiny of the whole process. Another relevant conclusion is that farmers are more predisposed to participate when the organisations offer additional benefits to them, such as tractor services and sale of inputs. The research findings show that the role of rural extension should be more related to providing more advice on participatory activities and management techniques to farmers’ organisations. The major implication of the findings for rural extension, and other institutions involved in the development of rural communities and farmers’ organisations, relates to the importance of putting more emphasis on providing knowledge to local people in the technical aspects of managing collective businesses.

description: In this paper, we study the chiral symmetry restoration in the hadronic spectrum in the framework of generalised Nambu-Jona-Lasinio quark models with instantaneous confining quark kernels. We investigate a heavy-light quarkonium and derive its bound-state equation in the form of a Schroedingerlike equation and, after the exact inverse Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, in the form of a Diraclike quation. We discuss the Lorentz nature of confinement for such a system and demonstrate explicitly the effective chiral symmetry restoration for highly excited states in the mesonic spectrum. We give an estimate for the scale of this restoration.

description: The detectors designed for Gaia, the next ESA space astrometry mission to be launched in 2011, will allow to observe repeatedly stars very close to Jupiter's limb. This will open a unique opportunity to test General Relativity by performing many Eddington-like experiments through the comparison between the pattern of a starfield observed with or without Jupiter. We have derived the main formulas relevant for the monopole and quadrupole light deflection by an oblate planet and developed a simulator to investigate the processing of the Gaia astrometric observation in the vicinity of the planet. The results show that such an experiment carried out with the Gaia data will provide a new fully independent determination of the PPN parameter gamma by means of differential astrometric measurements and, more importantly, for the first time will evidence the bending effect due to the quadrupole moment with a 3-sigma confidence level. Given the accuracy of the experiment for the monopole deflection, this will permit to test alternative modelling of the light bending by moving masses.

"Breaking out of the modernist cloister" : a restorative approach to community health care facility design
Creators: name: Hogan, Geralyn Margaret Ann L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The aim for this project was to explore a more restorative manner of health care facility design that would manipulate the environment in order to reduce stress, prevent illness, and promote wellness. 'Restorative Design' has been applied in the public realm but is not commonly seen on the hospital landscape. Regional hospitals across Canada are created almost entirely for function. Recent studies on the potential impact of design, however, may prove beneficial in reducing hospital stays, reducing absenteeism, increasing productivity, and, quite simply, improving the health of the community. This project looked at available data, studies, and expert opinions and attempted to develop a framework for restorative design as applied to the hospital landscape. Four global principles for restorative design were identified (legibility, inherent familiarity, accessibility, and access to natural elements). The project then went further to try and delineate specific needs for specific groups. Visitors, staff, patients, and the surrounding community were all considered integral parts of the open space and figured highly in the final design and program. Both global and specific needs for stress reduction were translated into several very specific design implications that could be translated into design and programming. The project explored unconventional, "restorative" means of evaluating the success or failure of design moves. Most notably, an unconventional large open space was laid out for several reasons: it provided the best chance for enhancing biodiversity on the site, it was accessible (visually and/or physically) by a variety of users and its creation offered several programming possibilities. A proposal was put forth for shared management of the open space with a local volunteer stewardship group as a way to offset costs as well as enhance a sense of community ownership. It is important to note that only one vision for this hospital site has been proposed here. The developed principles and design implications, however, may be taken and applied to any given site (public or private) to develop a landscape that actively participates in the healing process. The following document, made up of both written text and graphic images, aims to explain and illustrate the design process and the design proposals put forth in this project. Several of the original drawings were done at much larger scales and many were illustrated in color. A CD-R version of this document has been submitted and may be useful to better visualize some of these graphics.

description: We compute the full three-loop coefficient functions for the structure functions F_2 and F_L in massless perturbative QCD. The results for F_L complete the next-to-next-to-leading order description of unpolarized electromagnetic deep-inelastic scattering. The third-order coefficient functions for F_2 form, at not too small values of the Bjorken variable x, the dominant part of the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order corrections, thus facilitating improved determinations of the strong coupling alpha_s from scaling violations. The three-loop corrections to F_L are larger than those for F_2. Especially for the latter quantity the expansion in powers of alpha_s is very stable, for photon virtualities Q^2 >> 1 GeV^2, over the full x-range accessible to fixed-target and collider measurements.

description: The conformational and dynamical properties of active self-propelled filaments/polymers are investigated in the presence of hydrodynamic interactions by both, Brownian dynamics simulations and analytical theory. Numerically, a discrete linear chain composed of active Brownian particles is considered, analytically, a continuous linear semiflexible polymer with active velocities changing diffusively. The force-free nature of active monomers is accounted for - no Stokeslet fluid flow induced by active forces - and higher order hydrodynamic multipole moments are neglected. The nonequilibrium character of the active process implies a dependence of the stationary-state properties on HI via the polymer relaxation times. In particular, at moderate activities, HI lead to a substantial shrinkage of flexible and semiflexible polymers to an extent far beyond shrinkage of comparable free-draining polymers; even flexible HI-polymers shrink, while active free-draining polymers swell monotonically. Large activities imply a reswelling, however, to a less extent than for non-HI polymers, caused by the shorter polymer relaxation times due to hydrodynamic interactions. The polymer mean square displacement is enhanced, and an activity-determined ballistic regime appears. Over a wide range of time scales, flexible active polymers exhibit a hydrodynamically governed subdiffusive regime, with an exponent significantly smaller than that of the Rouse and Zimm models of passive polymers. Compared to simulations, the approximate analytical approach predicts a weaker hydrodynamic effect.

description: The point of interest in this work is the dynamics of the small property through a filière analysis, identifying the internal and external relationships by the aggregation of value in each chain, besides calculating its contribution to the total value aggregation. Seeking to obtaining results, a case study was carried out and an input-product matrix was structured, using production values of a small property (12 ha). As a result, the property was found to be inserted in three filières (soy, milk and swine production), demonstrating the characteristic change of self-sufficiency for the integration in production chains. In the value aggregation (of total production) originating from the property (R$ 3.044.570), resulting in a final product of R$ 1.278.925, demonstrating that the other links multiplied the initial production of the property by 9,4. The participation of the property in the final product was important, contributing with 10,7% of that value. We can infer that this unit is inserted in the new production dynamics.

description: A pot experiment was conducted for the first time in Bangladesh, at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during November, 2010 to July, 2011 to asses the adaptability of seven lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) cultivars namely Micky Rose, Pink Rose, Azuma No Yosooi, Purple Edge Glass, Piccolo Blue, Mellow Purple and Royal Violet for commercial cultivation in Bangladesh. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design with nine replications. Significant differences among cultivars were noted for all the attributes evaluated. The highest number of flowers (16.0/plant) was produced by Piccolo Blue and the lowest from Pink Rose (7.0/plant). All the cultivars in this study showed very good shelf life (12.0-25.0 days) in normal
condition. All the seven lisianthus cultivars performed satisfactorily as ideal cut flowers. Further work may be done to develop these as commercial cultivars in Bangladesh.

description: This study analyzes the transmission elasticity and the price causality of beef, between BM&F and important places in Brazil, seeking data referring to the intensity of price transmission and detecting the existent relations between beef price in these places and in BM&F. Studies in several regions were realized, using daily price data in a period comprehended between 2000 and 2004. The studied cities were Araçatuba (SP), Barretos (SP), Bauru (SP), Presidente Prudente (SP), Noroeste do Paraná (PR), Três Lagoas (MS), Campo Grande (MS), Triângulo Mineiro (MG), Dourados (GO), Goiânia (GO) and Cuiabá (MT). The results of the Dickey-Fuller Augmented (DFA) unit root test show that all price series are integrated of first order, I(1). The results of the Johansen co-integration test suggest that all series are co-integrated. It can be concludedm thus, that the beef markets are spatially integrated , which means that supply and demand shocks in BM&F affect the beef prices in the other markets. Another outcome of this research, resulting from the estimation of an error correction model and the application of the Granger causality test, is that the BM&F Granger-causes the prices in the other regions. Now with the price transmission elasticity verify that its elasticity maintains around 1, turning in some place as elastic as inelastic. Therefore, the results of this research suggest that the Brazilian beef market is efficient, since information has flowed rapidly among the market agents, allowing arbitrage and the Law of One Price to work properly.

An application to Bryant \cite{MR89b:53084} and Calabi \cite{MR24 #A558} examples is given. It is shown that the product of a Cayley plane and a minimal surface lying in a four-dimensional orthogonal Cayley plane with the induced complex structure from the octonions described by Bryant in \cite{MR89b:53084} admits a holomorphic local complex volume form exactly when it lies in a three-plane, i.e. it coincides with the example constructed by Calabi in \cite{MR24 #A558}. In this case the holomorphic (3,0)-form is parallel with respect to the unique Hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion.

description: In order to manage supply chain relationships effectively both aspects - the need to align the actions in order to coordinate the network and the alignment of interests of cooperating actors – are important. Therefore, the coexistence of both cooperative and competitive constructs should be recognized, where power coexists alongside with trust. Many scientific works have been written on power and trust as constructs of business-to-business relationships separately. However, most of the existing relationship marketing literature studies power and trust in relation to conflict or satisfaction, and the link between power and trust in the supply chain context appears to be largely ignored as a research topic. Some scientists assert that power negates cooperation and call power to be the antithesis of trust. Others argue that most social relationships are based on a mixture of both power and trust, that power and trust by no means exclude each other but occur in combination and that they should both be seen as alternative mechanisms for coordinating supply chain relationships. In order to understand the links between these two constructs one needs to be specific on their nature and origin. Based on the literature review we present ideas on how power and trust in supply chain relationships are related.

description: We study the behavior of clocks in 1+1 spacetime assuming the relativity principle, the principle of constancy of the speed of light and the clock hypothesis. These requirements are satisfied by a class of Finslerian theories parametrized by a real coefficient $β$, special relativity being recovered for $β=0$. The effect of differential aging is studied for the different values of $β$. Below the critical values $|β| =1/c$ the differential aging has the usual direction - after a round trip the accelerated observer returns younger than the twin at rest in the inertial frame - while above the critical values the differential aging changes sign. The non-relativistic case is treated by introducing a formal analogy with thermodynamics.

description: In this paper, we will study the connections between the mirror symmetry of K3 surfaces and the geometry of the Legendre family of elliptic curves. We will prove that the mirror map of the Dwork family is equal to the period map of the Legendre family. This result provides an interesting explanation to the modularities of counting functions for K3 surfaces from the mirror symmetry point of view. We will also discuss the relations between the arithmetic geometry of smooth fibers of the Fermat pencil (Dwork family) and that of the smooth fibers of the Legendre family, e.g. Shioda-Inose structures, zeta functions, etc. In particular, we will study the relations between the Fermat quartic, which is modular with a weight-3 modular form $η(4z)^6$, and the elliptic curve over $λ=2$ of the Legendre family, whose weight-2 newform is labeled as \textbf{32.2.a.a} in LMFDB. We will also compute the Deligne's periods of the Fermat quartic, which are given by special values of the theta function $θ_3$. Then we will numerically verify that they satisfy the predictions of Deligne's conjecture on the special values of $L$-functions of critical motives.

description: A quantum shuttle is an archetypical nanoelectromechanical device, where the mechanical degree of freedom is quantized. Using a full-scale numerical solution of the generalized master equation describing the shuttle, we have recently shown [Novotný {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 248302 (2004)] that for certain limits of the shuttle parameters one can distinguish three distinct charge transport mechanisms: (i) an incoherent tunneling regime, (ii) a shuttling regime, where the charge transport is synchronous with the mechanical motion, and (iii) a coexistence regime, where the device switches between the tunneling and shuttling regimes. While a study of the cross-over between these three regimes requires the full numerics, we show here that by identifying the appropriate time-scales it is possible to derive vastly simpler equations for each of the three regimes. The simplified equations allow a clear physical interpretation, are easily solved, and are in good agreement with the full numerics in their respective domains of validity.

description: In this work we address theoretically a key issue concerning microwave-induced longitudinal resistivity oscillations and zero resistance states, as is tempoerature. In order to explain the strong temperature dependence of the longitudinal resistivity and the thermally activated transport in 2DEG, we have developed a microscopic model based on the damping suffered by the microwave-driven electronic orbit dynamics by interactions with the lattice ions yielding acoustic phonons. Recent experimental results show a reduction in the amplitude of the longitudinal resistivity oscillations and a breakdown of zero resistance states as the radiation intensity increases. In order to explain it we have included in our model the electron heating due to large microwave intensities and its effect on the longitudinal resistivity.

description: The aim of this paper is to prove the possibility of linearization of such equations by means of introduction of new variables. For $n=2$ such a procedure is well known, when new variables are components of spinors and they are widely used in mathematical physics. For example, parametrization of Pythagoras threes $a^{2} +b^{2}$, $a^{2} -b^{2}$, $2ab$ may be cited as an example in number theory where two independent variables form a spinor which can be obtained by solution of a system of two linear equations. We also investigate the combinatorial estimate for the smallest sum $r(n)=r _{1}+r_{2} -1 $ for solvable equations of such a type as $r(n) \leq 2n+1$ (recently the better one with $r(n) \leq2n-1$ was received by L. Habsieger (J. of Number Theory 45 (1993) 92)). Apart from that we consider two conjectures about $r(n)$ and particular solutions for $n \leq11$ which were found with the help of the algorithm that is not connected with linearization.

description: An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from June to August 2010 to study the effect of GA3 on growth and flowering of gladiolus (Gladiolus sp). The experiment comprised with five concentration of GA3 foliar application viz. 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm respectively and was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. GA3 application at different concentration had significant effect on the parameters. GA3 @ 150 ppm treated white gladiolus showed the highest plant height (131.2 cm) at harvest, number of florets/spike (14.1), length of flower stalk (74.2 cm), weight of single spike at harvest (62.2 g) and yield (327700 spike/ha). GA3 treated plant also took the minimum days to spike initiation (64.9 days). So, it is concluded that 150 ppm GA3 application is the most effective for improving the growth and flowering of gladiolus for summer season cultivation of gladiolus.

The results showed that cambial depreciations really raise the value of the Brazilian exportations. The impulse response functions show that the exportation price is the variable that exerted greater influence in the exported value, indicating, perhaps, that politics that degenerate the Brazilian soybean exportations can contribute for the capitation of foreign currency through this product.

description: We present spectra of twelve Type Ia supernovae obtained in 1999 at the William Herschel Telescope and the Nordic Optical Telescope during a search for Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) at intermediate redshift. The spectra range from z=0.178 to z=0.493, including five high signal-to-noise ratio SN Ia spectra in the still largely unexplored range 0.15 < z < 0.3. Most of the spectra were obtained before or around restframe B-band maximum light. None of them shows the peculiar spectral features found in low-redshift over- or under-luminous SN Ia. Expansion velocities of characteristic spectral absorption features such as SiII at 6355 angs., SII at 5640 angs. and CaII at 3945 angs. are found consistent with their low-z SN Ia counterparts.

description: As a new group of advanced 2D layered materials, bismuth oxyhalides, i.e., BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I), have recently become of great interest. In this work, we characterize the third-order optical nonlinearities of BiOBr, an important member of the BiOX family. The nonlinear absorption and Kerr nonlinearity of BiOBr nanoflakes at both 800 nm and 1550 nm are characterized via the Z-Scan technique. Experimental results show that BiOBr nanoflakes exhibit a large nonlinear absorption coefficient = \b{eta} = 10-7 m/W as well as a large Kerr coefficient n2 = 10-14 m2/W. We also note that the n2 of BiOBr reverses sign from negative to positive as the wavelength is changed from 800 nm to 1550 nm. We further characterize the thickness-dependent nonlinear optical properties of BiOBr nanoflakes, finding that the magnitudes of \b{eta} and n2 increase with decreasing thickness of the BiOBr nanoflakes. Finally, we integrate BiOBr nanoflakes into silicon integrated waveguides and measure their insertion loss, with the extracted waveguide propagation loss showing good agreement with mode simulations based on ellipsometry measurements. These results confirm the strong potential of BiOBr as a promising nonlinear optical material for high-performance hybrid integrated photonic devices.

description: Economic assessments of pesticide regulations typically focus on producer impacts and generally ignore possible changes in product demand. These changes may be nonnegligible if real and/or perceived product attributes change. We measure consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for the elimination of one insecticide and also a whole group of insecticides in apple production using a multiple-round Vickrey auction. The data are analyzed using nonparametric statistical tests and a double-hurdle model. Our findings show that consumer perceptions of product attributes change if pesticides are removed from production, and this is reflected in WTP changes. WTP is shown to be income elastic.

description: Government-supported promotion in foreign markets may justified when market failures exist, such as spillover externalities, where promotion of one commodity positively influences exports of another, or when market uncertainties cause planning horizons to be shorter than the persistent effects of promotion. A dynamic model of U.S. apple, almond, grape, and wine export supply is developed to test for these market failures. Promotion is viewed as an investment in establishing and maintaining a product's image. Evidence supporting the existence of each market failure is found. Exporters and program administrators may fail to account for them in export promotion planning.

description: We demonstrate the existence of a spin-nematic, moment-free phase in a quantum four-spin ring exchange model on the square lattice. This unusual quantum state is created by the interplay of frustration and quantum fluctuations which lead to a partial restoration of SU(2) symmetry when going from a four-sublattice orthogonal biaxial Neel order to this exotic uniaxial magnet. A further increase of frustration drives a transition to a fully gapped SU(2) symmetric valence bond crystal.

description: Inferring the pose and shape of vehicles in 3D from a movable platform still remains a challenging task due to the projective sensing principle of cameras, difficult surface properties e.g. reflections or transparency, and illumination changes between images. In this paper, we propose to use 3D shape and motion priors to regularize the estimation of the trajectory and the shape of vehicles in sequences of stereo images. We represent shapes by 3D signed distance functions and embed them in a low-dimensional manifold. Our optimization method allows for imposing a common shape across all image observations along an object track. We employ a motion model to regularize the trajectory to plausible object motions. We evaluate our method on the KITTI dataset and show state-of-the-art results in terms of shape reconstruction and pose estimation accuracy.

description: The $J(ϕ)$ relation in SFIFS, SNINS and SIS tunnel junctions is studied. The method for analytical solution of linearized Usadel equations has been developed and applied to these structures. It is shown that the Josephson current across the structure has the sum of $\sin ϕ$ and $\sin 2ϕ$ components. Two different physical mechanisms are responsible for the sign of $\sin 2ϕ$. The first one is the depairing by current which contributes positively to the $\sin 2ϕ$ term, while the second one is the finite transparency of SF or SN interfaces which provides the negative contribution. In SFIFS junctions, where the first harmonic vanishes at 0 - $π$ transition, the calculated second harmonic fully determines the $J(ϕ)$ curve.

description: An experiment was conducted at Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from June to August 2010 to study the effect of GA3 on growth and flowering of gladiolus (Gladiolus sp). The experiment comprised with five concentration of GA3 foliar application viz. 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm respectively and was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) with three replications. GA3 application at different concentration had significant effect on the parameters. GA3 @ 150 ppm treated white gladiolus showed the highest plant height (131.2 cm) at harvest, number of florets/spike (14.1), length of flower stalk (74.2 cm), weight of single spike at harvest (62.2 g) and yield (327700 spike/ha). GA3 treated plant also took the minimum days to spike initiation (64.9 days). So, it is concluded that 150 ppm GA3 application is the most effective for improving the growth and flowering of gladiolus for summer season cultivation of gladiolus.

description: The concept of `topological right transversal' is introduced to study right transversals in topological groups. Given any right quasigroup $S$ with a Tychonoff topology $T$, it is proved that there exists a Hausdorff topological group in which $S$ can be embedded algebraically and topologically as a right transversal of a subgroup (not necessarily closed). It is also proved that if a topological right transversal $(S, T_{S}, T^{S}, \circ)$ is such that $T_{S} = T^{S}$ is a locally compact Hausdorff topology on $S$, then $S$ can be embedded as a right transversal of a closed subgroup in a Hausdorff topological group which is universal in some sense.

description: A new generation of angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on the cuprate superconductors offer the promise of enhanced momentum and energy resolution. In particular, the energy and temperature dependence of the on-shell nodal (k_x=k_y) quasiparticle scattering rate can be studied. In the superconducting state, low temperature transport measurements suggest that one can describe nodal quasiparticles within the framework of a BCS d-wave model by including forward elastic scattering and spin-fluctuation inelastic scattering. Here, using this model, we calculate the temperature and frequency dependence of the on-shell nodal quasiparticle scattering rate in the superconducting state which determines the momentum width of the ARPES momentum distribution curves. For a zero-energy quasiparticle at the nodal momentum k_N, both the elastic and inelastic scattering rate show a sudden decrease as the temperature drops below Tc, reflecting the onset of the gap amplitude. At low temperatures the scattering rate decreases as T^3 and approaches a zero temperature value determined by the elastic impurity scattering. For T>T_c, we find a quasilinear dependence on T. At low reduced temperatures, the elastic scattering rate for the nodal quasiparticles exhibits a quasilinear increase at low energy which arises from elastic scattering processes. The inelastic spin-fluctuation scattering leads to a low energy omega^3 dependence which, for omega>~Delta_0, crosses over to a quasilinear behavior.
