description: С переходом к рыночной экономике произошли коренные изменения в сельском хозяйстве Республики Узбекистан. С начала предприятия сельского хозяйства превратились в обще- ственные, потом в кооперативные, т.е. ширкатные хозяйства, и наконец, после ликвидации этих хозяйств, особое внимание уделялось развитию фермерских и дехканских хозяйств, основанных на частной собственности. Вместе с тем сформированные в течение десятка лет межхозяйственные экономические связи отрицательно повлияли на развитие сельского хозяйства. Экономические отношения с перерабатывающими отраслями и предприятиями стали препятствующими факторами, сдерживающими развитие сельского хозяйства. Пере- рабатывающие отрасли, как и монопольные хозяйства не своевременно рассчитывались с доставленным сырьём, продлевали срок приёма продукции, устанавливали высокие цены за оказанные услуги, покупали сырьё за низкие цены. В итоге это привело к потере про- дукции, повышению расходов, снижению качества сырья, и конечно, к снижению дохода фермерских хозяйств. В результате был принят ряд Постановлений и Указов для устранения вышеуказанных проблем. В этих документах неоднократно отмечалась объективная необ- ходимость в кооперации, а также обсуждалась её роль и значение в развитии общества. Для реализации выше обозначенных задач, поставленных перед АПК Республики Узбекистан, необходимо объединить мелкие хозяйства в крупные сельскохозяйственные кооперативы по производству, переработке, хранению, транспортировке и сбыту сельскохозяйственной продукции. Создание специализированных кооперативов даст возможность решить ряд общественно-экономических проблем, т.е. прежде всего, обеспечить интеграционный про- цесс от производителя к потребителю, уменьшить транзакционные расходы, связанные с движением товаров, и сократить каналы реализации, с помощью которых могут возникнуть шансы, чтобы снизить цены на товары. Деятельность, связанная с сельским хозяйством, в результате объединения субъектов хозяйствования повысит эффективность использова- ния ресурсного потенциала.

description: The stiffness exponents in the glass phase for lattice spin glasses in dimensions $d=3,...,6$ are determined. To this end, we consider bond-diluted lattices near the T=0 glass transition point $p^*$. This transition for discrete bond distributions occurs just above the bond percolation point $p_c$ in each dimension. Numerics suggests that both points, $p_c$ and $p^*$, seem to share the same $1/d$-expansion, at least for several leading orders, each starting with $1/(2d)$. Hence, these lattice graphs have average connectivities of $α=2dp\gtrsim1$ near $p^*$ and exact graph-reduction methods become very effective in eliminating recursively all spins of connectivity $\leq3$, allowing the treatment of lattices of lengths up to L=30 and with up to $10^5-10^6$ spins. Using finite-size scaling, data for the defect energy width $σ(ΔE)$ over a range of $p>p^*$ in each dimension can be combined to reach scaling regimes of about one decade in the scaling variable $L(p-p^*)^{ν^*}$. Accordingly, unprecedented accuracy is obtained for the stiffness exponents compared to undiluted lattices ($p=1$), where scaling is far more limited. Surprisingly, scaling corrections typically are more benign for diluted lattices. We find in $d=3,...,6$ for the stiffness exponents $y_3=0.24(1)$, $y_4=0.61(2), y_5=0.88(5)$, and $y_6=1.1(1)$. The result for the upper critical dimension, $d_u=6$, suggest a mean-field value of $y_\infty=1$.

description: The next frontier in photonics will rely on the synergistic combination of disparate material systems. One unique organic molecule is azobenzene. This molecule can reversibly change conformations when optically excited in the blue (trans-to-cis) or mid-IR (cis-to-trans). Here, we demonstrate SiO2 optical resonators modified with a monolayer of azobenzene-containing 4-(4-diethylaminophenylazo)pyridine (Aazo) with quality factors over 106. Using a pair of lasers, the molecule is reversibly flipped between molecular conformations, inducing resonant wavelength shifts, and multiple switching cycles are demonstrated. The magnitude of the shift scales with the relative surface density of Aazo. The experimental data agrees with theoretical modeling.

description: The Infrared Space Observatory was used to search for a tracer of the warm and dense neutral interstellar medium, the [O I] 63.18 micron line, in four ultraluminous IRAS sources lying at redshifts between 0.6 and 1.4. While these sources are quasars, their infrared continuum emission suggests a substantial interstellar medium. No [O I] flux was securely detected after probing down to a 3 sigma sensitivity level sufficient for detecting line emission in starbursts with similar continuum emission. However, if the detection threshold is slightly relaxed, one target is detected with 2.7 sigma significance. For this radio-quiet quasar there is likely a substantial dense and warm interstellar medium; the upper limits for the three radio-loud sources do not preclude the same conclusion. Using a new, uniformly-processed database of the ISO extragalactic far-infrared spectroscopy observations, it is shown that nearby Seyfert galaxies typically have higher [O I]-to-far-infrared ratios than do normal star-forming galaxies, so the lack of strong [O I] 63 micron emission from these high-redshift ultraluminous sources cannot be attributed to their active cores.

description: We analyze the ground-state properties of an artificial atom made out of repulsive bosons attracted to a center for the case that all the interactions are short-ranged. Such bosonic atoms could be created by optically trapping ultracold particles of alkali vapors; we present the theory describing how their properties depend on experimentally adjustable strength of ``nuclear'' attraction and interparticle repulsion. The binding ability of the short-range potential increases with space dimensionality - only a limited number of particles can be bound in one dimension, while in two and three dimensions the number of bound bosons can be chosen at will. Particularly in three dimensions we find an unusual effect of enhanced resonant binding: for not very strong interparticle repulsion the equilibrium number of bosons bound to a nuclear potential having a sufficiently shallow single-particle state increases without bound as the nuclear potential becomes less attractive. As a consequence of the competing nuclear attraction enhanced by the Bose statistics and interparticle repulsions, the dependence of the ground-state energy of the atom on the number of particles has a minimum whose position is experimentally tunable. This implies a staircase dependence of the equilibrium number of bound bosons on external parameters which may be used to create a single-atom pipette - an arrangement which allows the transport of atoms into and out of a reservoir, one at a time.

Save or Pay : The Framing Effect of a Single-use Cup Fee on Consumer Cup Choice

description: Introduction This study explores how framing of the single-use cup fee affects consumer choice and reported future intentions of bringing reusable cups to UBC cafés. Based on past studies on prospect theory, we hypothesized a lower likelihood of choosing single-use cups and a higher intention of bringing reusable cups when asked to "pay a fee." UBC charges 25 cents for a single-use cup fee to discourage customers from using single-use cups, but often, coffee shops do not personally inform customers of this charge. Research Question How does the Save and Pay framing influence consumers' cup choice (single-use or reusable cups) and reported future intention of bringing a reusable cup? Methods Participants completed a survey simulating a beverage buying experience and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Save condition (presented the fee as a potential saving), Pay condition (presented as a potential payment), and Control condition (which automatically added the fee without specific framing). Recruitment was done through social media and in-person outside cafés at UBC. Results The results suggest that neither hypothesis was supported. However, though not significant, the participants in the Save condition were more likely to choose the reusable cup option. There was also a small significant increase in reported future intention of bringing reusable cups in the Save condition. Recommendations We recommend making the 25-cent fee more salient and framing it as a Save within the coffee buying experience. However, future replications - specifically field experiments with bigger and more representative samples - can further help solidify our understanding of the framing effect and determine whether this increase in self-reported future intention of bringing reusable cups translates to behavioural change.

description: Kitaev's sixteenfold way is a classification of exotic topological orders in which $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory is coupled to Majorana fermions of Chern number $C$. The $16$ distinct topological orders within this class, depending on $C \, \mathrm{mod} \, 16$, possess a rich variety of Abelian and non-Abelian anyons. We realize more than half of Kitaev's sixteenfold way, corresponding to Chern numbers $0$, $\pm 1$, $\pm 2$, $\pm 3$, $\pm 4$, and $\pm 8$, in an exactly solvable generalization of the Kitaev honeycomb model. For each topological order, we explicitly identify the anyonic excitations and confirm their topological properties. In doing so, we observe that the interplay between lattice symmetry and anyon permutation symmetry may lead to a "weak supersymmetry" in the anyon spectrum. The topological orders in our honeycomb lattice model could be directly relevant for honeycomb Kitaev materials, such as $α$-RuCl$_3$, and would be distinguishable by their specific quantized values of the thermal Hall conductivity.

description: Faculty in the Department of Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics are participating in Project ARC (Agricultural Resources for Colorado), in part, by analyzing a series of legislative options for assisting farmers and ranchers impacted by the current agricultural crisis in Colorado. In discussions with Dr. David Carlson, Director of the ARC Project, it was agreed that four broad legislative options would be analyzed. These were: 1) a limited public/private partnership for buying agricultural land; 2) interest buy down programs for producer loans on agricultural land; 3) state-linked deposit programs, primarily for reducing interest payments on annual operating loans and equipment loans; and 4) targeting funds for agricultural economics research and Extension that would focus on managerial and marketing needs of agricultural producers. This report presents some overall perspectives on interest buy down plans state-linked deposit programs, and related options such as guaranteed loans, land purchase schemes, and providing credit relief to beginning farmers.

description: Consecutive traffic signalized intersections can increase vehicle stops, producing vehicle accelerations on arterial roads and potentially increasing vehicle fuel consumption levels. Eco-driving systems are one method to improve vehicle energy efficiency with the help of vehicle connectivity. In this paper, an eco-driving system is developed that computes a fuel-optimized vehicle trajectory while traversing more than one signalized intersection. The system is designed in a modular and scalable fashion allowing it to be implemented in large networks without significantly increasing the computational complexity. The proposed system utilizes signal phasing and timing (SPaT) data that are communicated to connected vehicles (CVs) together with real-time vehicle dynamics to compute fuel-optimum trajectories. The proposed algorithm is incorporated in the INTEGRATION microscopic traffic assignment and simulation software to conduct a comprehensive sensitivity analysis of various variables, including: system market penetration rates (MPRs), demand levels, phase splits, offsets and traffic signal spacings on the system performance. The analysis shows that at 100\% MPR, fuel consumption can be reduced by as high as 13.8\%. Moreover, higher MPRs and shorter phase lengths result in larger fuel savings. Optimum demand levels and traffic signal spacings exist that maximize the effectiveness of the algorithm. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the algorithm works less effective when the traffic signal offset is closer to its optimal value. Finally, the study highlights the need for further work to enhance the algorithm to deal with over-saturated traffic conditions.

description: Introduction Single-use disposable cups made or lined with plastic pose a significant environmental threat (Triantafillopoulos & Koukoulas, 2020; Foteinis, 2020). While previous research has found that surcharges on single-use plastic items can affect SUDC consumption and incentivise the use of personal (i.e., reusable) mugs (Sidhu et al., 2018; Poortinga et al., 2019), efforts to deploy such interventions on a population level have been ineffective (Vancouver City Council, 2023). The failure of surcharges on a broader scale underscores the need for novel interventions that incentivise personal mug use. Based on economic theories of gamification, the present study aimed to determine whether probabilistic rewards influence the use of personal mugs. Research Question How do probabilistic rewards influence the use of personal mugs? Methods Sales data was collected from two cafés on a Canadian university campus. One cafe (intervention café) implemented a 1 in 10 chance of winning free coffee for customers with personal mugs, while the other (neutral café) did not. Results At the neutral café sales made with personal mugs decreased between both control periods and the study period. At the intervention café there was a modest increase in sales in personal mugs between one of the control periods and the study period. Recommendations We propose that Loafe continue to implement the 1 in 10 chance of winning a free coffee for personal mug users with some slight alterations. Firstly, to address the issue of a lack of awareness of the intervention, we recommend 1) a longer intervention period, and 2) a more aggressive marketing campaign. Second, we recommend incorporating the raffle tracking system into the POS in order to limit the attentional demands placed on staff at the cafés. For the UBC Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) program we recommend continued partnerships with Loafe and other on-campus businesses. Moreover, based on existing gamification, we recommend future partnered studies incorporate some form of points system in order to encourage competition between customers.

description: We consider a system formed by an array of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in a harmonic potential with a superimposed periodic optical potential. Starting from the boson field Hamiltonian, appropriate to describe dilute gas of bosonic atoms, we reformulate the system dynamics within the Bose-Hubbard model picture. Then we analyse the effective dynamics of the system when the optical potential depth is suddenly varied according to a procedure applied in many of the recent experiments on superfluid-Mott transition in Bose-Einstein condensates. Initially the condensates' array generated in a weak optical potential is assumed to be in the superfluid ground-state which is well described in terms of coherent states. At a given time, the optical potential depth is suddenly increased and, after a waiting time, it is quickly decreased so that the initial depth is restored. We compute the system-state evolution and show that the potential jump brings on an excitation of the system, incorporated in the final condensate wave functions, whose effects are analysed in terms of two-site correlation functions and of on-site population oscillations. Also we show how a too long waiting time can destroy completely the coherence of the final state making it unobservable.

description: The goal of stellar evolution theory is to predict the structure of stars throughout their lifetimes. Usually, these predictions can be assessed only indirectly, for example by comparing predicted and observed effective temperatures and luminosities. Thanks now to asteroseismology, which can reveal the internal structure of stars, it becomes possible to compare the predictions from stellar evolution theory to actual stellar structures. In this work, we present an inverse analysis of the oscillation data from the solar-type star KIC 6225718, which was observed by the \emph{Kepler} space observatory during its nominal mission. As its mass is about 20% greater than solar, this star is predicted to transport energy by convection in its nuclear-burning core. We find significant differences between the predicted and actual structure of the star in the radiative interior near to the convective core. In particular, the predicted sound speed is higher than observed in the deep interior of the star, and too low at a fractional radius of 0.25 and beyond. The cause of these discrepancies is unknown, and is not remedied by known physics in the form of convective overshooting or elemental diffusion.

description: We give a new proof of the classical Central Limit Theorem, in the Mallows ($L^r$-Wasserstein) distance. Our proof is elementary in the sense that it does not require complex analysis, but rather makes use of a simple subadditive inequality related to this metric. The key is to analyse the case where equality holds. We provide some results concerning rates of convergence. We also consider convergence to stable distributions, and obtain a bound on the rate of such convergence.

description: This paper presents a novel method for estimating the number of vehicles traveling along signalized approaches using probe vehicle data only. The proposed method uses the Kalman Filtering technique to produce reliable vehicle count estimates using real-time probe vehicle estimates of the expected travel times. The proposed method introduces a novel variable estimation interval that allows for higher estimation precision, as the updating time interval always contains a fixed number of probe vehicles. The proposed method is evaluated using empirical and simulated data, the former of which were collected along a signalized roadway in downtown Blacksburg, VA. Results indicate that vehicle count estimates produced by the proposed method are accurate. The paper also examines the model's accuracy when installing a single stationary sensor (e.g., loop detector), producing slight improvements especially when the probe vehicle market penetration rate is low. Finally, the paper investigates the sensitivity of the estimation model to traffic demand levels, showing that the model works better at higher demand levels given that more probe vehicles exist for the same market penetration rate.

D meson enhancement in pp collisions at the LHC due to nonlinear gluon evolution

description: When nonlinear effects on the gluon evolution are included with constraints from HERA, the gluon distribution in the free proton is enhanced at low momentum fractions, x < 0.01, and low scales, Q^2 < 10 GeV^2, relative to standard, DGLAP-evolved, gluon distributions. Consequently, such gluon distributions can enhance charm production in pp collisions at center of mass energy 14 TeV by up to a factor of five at midrapidity, y \sim 0, and transverse momentum p_T -> 0 in the most optimistic case. We show that most of this enhancement survives hadronization into D mesons. Assuming the same enhancement at leading and next-to-leading order, we show that the D enhancement may be measured by D^0 reconstruction in the K^-π^+ decay channel with the ALICE detector.

Monopoles in the Higgs Phase

description: We describe new solutions of Yang-Mills-Higgs theories consisting of magnetic monopoles in a phase with fully broken gauge symmetry. Rather than spreading out radially, the magnetic field lines form flux tubes. The solution is topologically stable and, when embedded in N=2 SQCD, preserves 1/4 of the supercharges. From the perspective of the flux-tube the monopole appears as a kink. Many monopoles may be threaded onto a single flux tube and placed at arbitrary separation to create a stable, BPS necklace of solitons.

description: We prove by explicit construction that graph braid groups and most surface groups can be embedded in a natural way in right-angled Artin groups, and we point out some consequences of these embedding results. We also show that every right-angled Artin group can be embedded in a pure surface braid group. On the other hand, by generalising to right-angled Artin groups a result of Lyndon for free groups, we show that the Euler characteristic -1 surface group (given by the relation x^2y^2=z^2) never embeds in a right-angled Artin group.

description: Physical systems close to a quantum phase transition exhibit a divergent susceptibility, suggesting that an arbitrarily-high precision may be achieved by exploiting quantum critical systems as probes to estimate a physical parameter. However, such an improvement in sensitivity is counterbalanced by the closing of the energy gap, which implies a critical slowing down and an inevitable growth of the protocol duration. Here, we design different metrological protocols that make use of the superradiant phase transition of the quantum Rabi model, a finite-component system composed of a single two-level atom interacting with a single bosonic mode. We show that, in spite of the critical slowing down, critical quantum optical systems can lead to a quantum-enhanced time-scaling of the quantum Fisher information, and so of the measurement sensitivity.

description: Farmers and others who serve as directors of farmer cooperatives are subject to responsibility rules applicable to all corporations and are subject to the same liabilities when those responsibilities are not met. This study surveys and discusses sources of liability faced by cooperative directors and suggests practices and behavior that may help avoid liability risks. The common law sources of liability are described. Liability of directors for criminal activities is noted, and statutory laws placing liability on directors for their violation are outlined. Liabilities for improper distribution of dividends, depletion of capital, improper patronage refunds, and antitrust violations are singled out for discussion.
Spatial variations in the Caspian Sea wave climate in 2002-2013 from satellite altimetry

description: The core properties of the wave climate and its changes in the Caspian Sea are established in terms of the annual mean significant wave height and its regional changes in 2002-2013 based on the outcome of the satellite altimetry mission JASON-1. Remotely estimated wave heights are validated against properties of the empirical distribution of instrumentally measured wave heights in the southern Caspian Sea and monthly averages of visually observed wave heights at three locations. A correction for systematic differences leads to very good correspondence between monthly averaged in situ and satellite data with a typical root mean square difference of 0.06 m. The average significant wave height in the Caspian Sea is 0.5-0.7 m in the northern basin of the sea, around 1.2 m in large parts of the central and southern basins and reaches up to 1.8 m in the northern segment of the central basin. The basin-wide average wave intensity varied insignificantly in the range of 1.02-1.14 m in 2002-2013. These estimates overestimate the wave heights by about 30% because low wave conditions are ignored. Substantial and statistically significant changes in the wave height occurred in certain areas. The wave height decreased by 0.019 +- 0.007 m/yr in the eastern segment of the central basin and by 0.04 +- 0.04 m/yr in the western segment of the southern basin. These changes can be explained by an increase in the frequency of westerly winds at the expence of southerly winds. Both basin-wide and regional extreme wave heights exhibit large interannual variations but do not show any significant trend. The patterns of changes in mean and extreme wave height are different. The average wave height has increased while the extreme wave height has decreased in the eastern segment of the southern basin.
