description: Today's great challenges of energy and informational technologies are addressed with a singular compound, the Li and Na doped few layer graphene. All what is impossible for graphite (homogeneous and high level Na doping), and unstable for single layer graphene, works very well for this structure. The transformation of the Raman G line to a Fano lineshape and the emergence of strong, metallic-like electron spin resonance (ESR) modes, attest the high level of graphene doping in liquid ammonia for both kinds of alkali atoms. The spin-relaxation time in our materials, deduced from the ESR line-width, is 6-8 ns, which is comparable to the longest values found in spin-transport experiments on ultrahigh mobility graphene flakes. This could qualify our material as promising candidate in spintronics devices. On the other hand, the successful sodium doping, this being a highly abundant metal, could be an encouraging alternative to lithium batteries.

description: 2nd Lt George Ernest Cashmore initially served as a gunner in the South Midlands division from 1/4/1915. He was on anti-aircraft duty with the 3rd Army. He only ever told funny stories about the war. On one occasion, he took fire out from a direct hit on the gun pit which had set the ammunition alight. He used his helmet and water from the shell hole to put the fire out. This showed great courage in a dangerous situation. He was promoted twice during the war. George kept a diary full of watercolour photographs, but this has since been lost.

description:
 Australia’s rural health services face chronic workforce shortages. To help address these shortages, the Australian Government funds a range of programs to support university students to undertake placements in rural areas with the aims of improving understanding of rural practice and encouraging rural careers. This study investigated the lived experiences of nursing and allied health students on placement in rural and regional Victoria. Its purpose was to identify the enablers and barriers most strongly affecting placement satisfaction and personal wellbeing. The intended outcome was to identify modifiable factors to improve the rural placement experience. Eighteen semi-structured interviews were undertaken with students on placement in public hospitals operating in northeast Victoria. Data was analysed using a thematic analysis approach. Three enablers were identified: 1) enjoyment of the rural environment and community; 2) working in a positive, friendly and supportive workplace; and 3) exposure to broad practice and enhanced learning opportunities. Five barriers were identified: 1) increased financial stress; 2) travel and accommodation challenges and concerns; 3) study-work-life balance and isolation issues; 4) encountering stressful work situations and/or personal events while on placement; and 5) communication issues with universities. The findings were strongly consistent with the extant literature. The authors considered the following factors as modifiable: negative financial impacts, inflexibility in the rural placement allocation process, and low levels of psychosocial support on offer to students in stress/distress and make suggestions for their amelioration. Given the similarities with teacher education, it is considered likely this paper has utility for the development of positive rural placements for student teachers.

description: Optical materials with colour-changing abilities have been explored for display devices, smart windows, or modulation of visual appearance. The efficiency of these materials, however, has strong wavelength dependence, which limits their functionality to a narrow spectral range. Here, we report graphene-based electro-optical devices with unprecedented optical tunability covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum from the visible to microwave. We achieve this non-volatile and reversible tunability by electro-intercalation of lithium into graphene layers in an optically accessible device structure. This unique colour-changing capability, together with area-selective intercalation, inspires fabrication of new multispectral devices, including display devices and electro-optical camouflage coating. We anticipate that these results provide realistic approaches for programmable smart optical surfaces with a potential utility in many scientific and engineering fields.

description: The new Single Payment Scheme under the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union was introduced in the United Kingdom as of 1st January 2005. Farmer support is being switched away from a production basis to one which is both decoupled and more closely linked with maintaining the environment. In connection with this the Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) launched a pilot scheme, to be delivered by agricultural colleges and university departments in England, to investigate the use of farmer self-help groups to communicate cross-compliance requirements under the new scheme. Farmers were asked in a questionnaire to assess their reaction to the requirements. This provides an interesting insight into attitudes to cross-compliance at the time the meetings took place (November 2004 to March 2005). But there are also interesting lessons to be learned by Defra and their clients about the nature of the process. The Royal Agricultural College and Harper Adams University College were two out of 25 institutions that took part in the exercise and the authors share their experiences in the paper.

We found exact expressions for the Green's function and, consequently, for the self-energy by considering both massive and massless scalar point particles. We present numerical graphs and analyze the nature of the self-interactions in the cosmic dispiration spacetime itself and in the cases of pure screw dislocation and cosmic string spacetimes.

description: Brazil is the world beef export leader since 2004, when he Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) crisis in the United States and the severe draught in Australia dropped those countries beef exports and gave Brazilian beef chain a unique opportunity to enter in new markets. Brazil is facing now a major challenge in terms of aggregating value, since its export volume is already stabilizing. The European Union (EU) represents the most demanding market in terms of quality and one in which Brazil can get a better remuneration for its products, as long as the country beef chain can develop new relationship strategies to provide such a specific product. This study aims to present some trends in the European market as well as to discuss them as opportunities for the Brazilian beef chain, especially in terms of coordination forms, following New Institutional Economy principles. It shows that new forms of relationship within the network are emerging (like alliances and associations) and that new strategies should be focused on the consumer desires.
Eating attitudes in ethnic minority adolescents : sociocultural and psychological correlates
Creators: name: Bhimani, Farah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Hither incidences o f eating disorders and related pathology are reported in Caucasian- European adolescent girls as compared to adolescent boys or individuals from other ethnic populations (Osvold & Sodowsky, 1993). Consequently, research has principally utilized European-Caucasian girls to develop the current understanding of eating pathology in adolescent populations (Striegel-Moore & Smolak, 2000). Thus, our knowledge of the characteristics and correlates of eating pathology is limited to this exclusive population. T o alleviate this shortcoming, recent literature has assessed eating pathology among European-Caucasian adolescent boys, as well as adolescent girls and boys across various ethnic populations (Crago, Shisslak, & Estes, 1996; Dolan, 1991). Unfortunately, despite this increase in empirical attention, the understanding of eating pathology among ethnic minority adolescents living among a European-Caucasian majority population remains limited. Specifically, the intention of this study was to expanded our understanding of the relations among eating attitudes and sociocultural attitudes towards appearance, acculturation, depression, self-esteem, selfconsciousness and adolescent egocentrism in a sample of ethnic minority adolescent girls and boys. This study also expanded current literature across Results found no overall significant difference in eating pathology between minority adolescent girls and boys. Although, adolescent girls reported a desire for overall weight loss and adolescent boys desired overall weight gain. In addition, adolescent girls, as compared to boys, were less likely to exercise or describe the food their family eats as healthy. Results further indicated that girls are less aware of western sociocultural attitudes towards appearance and were more likely than to acculturate to the western culture as compared to adolescent boys. Correlational analysis for adolescent girls and boys revealed several significant relations among eating pathology and many of the sociocultural and psychological variables examined in this study. Nevertheless, when entered into a simultaneous regression analysis a single significant predictor was found with for each gender. Public self-consciousness was found to be the only predictor of eating pathology for adolescent girls and private self-consciousness was found to be the only significant predictor of eating pathology in adolescent boys. Overall results support the importance of self-consciousness as a risk factor in the development of eating pathology among ethnic minority adolescent girls and boys.

description: We describe a polynomial network technique developed for learning to classify clinical electroencephalograms (EEGs) presented by noisy features. Using an evolutionary strategy implemented within Group Method of Data Handling, we learn classification models which are comprehensively described by sets of short-term polynomials. The polynomial models were learnt to classify the EEGs recorded from Alzheimer and healthy patients and recognize the EEG artifacts. Comparing the performances of our technique and some machine learning methods we conclude that our technique can learn well-suited polynomial models which experts can find easy-to-understand.
Measurement of High Energy Gamma Rays from 200 MeV to 1 TeV with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: In this thesis a measurement of the high energy $γ$-ray flux between 200 MeV and 1 TeV with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer is presented. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a multi-purpose particle detector mounted externally on the International Space Station. Although primarily designed for the measurement of charged cosmic rays AMS-02 is capable of measuring high energy $γ$-rays in two complementary modes. Two independent analyses are presented in this thesis, one for each of the two modes. The event selection criteria and the associated resolution functions are presented in detail. The effective area is estimated from a full detector Monte-Carlo simulation and corrected for the most important differences between data and simulation. A full sky model for $γ$-rays is constructed from diffuse emission predictions and recent $γ$-ray source catalogs. A dedicated analysis of Fermi-LAT data is performed to fully enable a detailed comparison with the AMS result. The measured flux of $γ$-rays is presented for various parts of the sky, including comparisons with Fermi-LAT data and with the constructed model. The inner galaxy is studied in detail, as an example of a region in which the photon flux is dominated by diffuse emission. The fluxes of several $γ$-ray producing sources, including Vela, Geminga and the Crab pulsar are shown. The Geminga pulsar is studied in detail, revealing its pulsed emission of $γ$-rays in the AMS-02 data, which allows to measure its frequency of rotation and to estimate its magnetic field strength and age. Finally, AMS-02 observed an outburst of the flaring blazar CTA-102 at the end of 2016.

description: Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) in infancy is associated with intestinal microbial dysbiosis, characterised by low Bifidobacteriaceae levels. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of two human milk oligosaccharides (HMO), lactose (L), and their combination on the faecal microbiome and metabolome of infants with CMPA. Stool samples of 12 term infants with probable CMPA (mean age 4.3 months) were analysed using a validated intestinal fermentation assay (SIFR® technology). For each substrate (i.e. HMO (2’-fucosyllactose [2’-FL] and lacto-N-neotetraose [LNnT]), L and HMO+L), taxonomic microbiome characterisation and untargeted metabolite profiling were performed at multiple timepoints. At baseline, the tested faecal microbiomes overall displayed low abundances of Bifidobacteriaceae. Fermentation with either HMO or lactose significantly enriched Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, B. pseudocatenulatum and, for HMO+L, also Bifidobacterium bifidum. The increase in HMO-utilising bifidobacteria was associated with a significant rise in levels of short-chain fatty acids, aromatic lactic acids and N-acetylated amino acids, with additive effects being observed for HMO+L. The above data suggest that the combination of 2’-FL, LNnT and lactose helps to alleviate the previously reported CMPA-associated intestinal bacterial dysbiosis and induces the production of several beneficial metabolites. The clinical significance of these findings for infants with CMPA requires further investigation.

description: The paper demonstrates how a deterministic farm linear programming (LP) model can be made stochastic and simulated using Solver and Simetar© in Excel©. The demonstration is conducted with an LP-model for a dairy farm for a sub arctic region of Norway. The income risks arising from variation in milk and crop yields due to winter damage in leys and pastures have been quantified for farms demonstrating low, medium and high forage yield risk. The estimated distribution of farm profit will be skewed to the left, indicating a downside risk. In the presence of risks, farmers maximize income by producing the milk quota with using surplus forage for meat production. The analysis demonstrated here may assist farmers and farm managers in improving sensitivity analysis for risky variables in farm LP models.

The propagation of top-down and bottom-up signals in heterogeneous aquatic food webs
Creators: name: Bell, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The two experiments described in this thesis attempt to identify the mechanisms that determine the biomass of trophic levels in freshwater communities. Early work in this field suggested that trophic level biomass is determined by resource supply and levels of predation. I present the results of two studies that investigate the impact of various other factors on the biomass of trophic levels. In the first study, I describe the short-term impact of prey (phytoplankton) edibility on the phytoplankton response to nutrient enrichment and the addition of a top (third) trophic level. The results suggest that the proportion of inedible phytoplankton in the community modifies the degree to which phytoplankton biomass is regulated by bottom-up (nutrient supply) or top-down (predation) forces. Compensation by inedible phytoplankton could therefore preclude the propagation of top-down signals in these communities. As a result, experiments over longer time scales might show a progressive weakening of top-down signals. In the second study, I therefore describe the results of a long-term (4-year) experiment in which zooplanktivorous fish are either present or absent. The results of this experiment, combined with the results of an extensive literature analysis, provide evidence that there is in fact no obvious decline in the strength of top-down signals with increasing experiment duration. The results do suggest, however, that the experimental results depend to some degree on the type of system in which the study is performed.

description: This article presents some of the best findings of a research done by the author with the intent to characterize some market opportunities for producers of organic agriculture production (OAPs) and the management techniques necessaries to take competitive advantage of those market opportunities. In doing so, initially is characterized what historically is comprehended as organic agriculture; after that is identified a lot of market opportunities, mainly in the developed countries. Next step, it is presented a lot of ways of getting access at those markets with various focus and approaches demanded by those distinct markets. After that, a lot of managerial tools are identified with the intention of orienting the OAPs producers in choosing and ameliorating their businesses management, mainly their commercial activities in those distinct markets. Finally are presented three generic systems for sustainable management which will be able to adequate the business practices of the OAPs producers to the growing demands of the target markets, as with the society in general.

description: The marketing pressures for economically viable, socially fair and ecologically correct production systems have required the farmers to adopt new management practices, aiming to increase the production scale, improve the quality of the products, and reduce costs. The historical utilization of abundant, cheap and disqualified labor in the rural sector has been a barrier to the adoption of technology. This study is an attempt to describe the human resources management that have been used by beef cattle farmers, as well as to analyze the management performance in labor and technical areas during the 2000/2001 year. Three-hundred and twenty questionnaires were sent by mail to farmers in the Triangulo Mineiro region. All of them were registered in the Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders (ABCZ) reference file, and a gross response rate of 14.4% was obtained. The data were processed by the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), and evaluated by using frequency and average tables. According to the results, the subsystems composing the human resource management system have been only partially adopted, besides presenting no interconnection with each other. In spite of that, it was noticed that top companies (in technical terms) presented the best human resources indicators, showing some level of functional relationship among the areas. Thus, beef cattle farmers should use such management models that benefit both knowledge and people, as these people are the promoters of the development in the farms. In this context, the managerial and operational training constitute a requirement, whereas the employees' motivation and engagement become a challenge to be overcome.

description: This paper takes the notion that entrepreneurs are good for economies and outlines what countries can do to encourage entrepreneurship. It suggests that citizen rights and freedom are directly related with entrepreneurial activity. Illegal entrepreneurial activity is mentioned as an outlet in repressive localities. It lists areas of the world where freedom exists and where it does not. Historical, current and country examples are given to illustrate these suppositions and the paper concludes with the role of entrepreneurship in world agribusiness.
On the metallicity dependence of Wolf-Rayet winds

description: We have performed a pilot study of mass loss predictions for late-type Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars as a function of metal abundance, over a range between 10^{-5} < (Z/Zsun) < 10. We find that the winds of nitrogen-rich Wolf-Rayet stars are dominated by iron lines, with a dependence of mass loss on Z similar to that of massive OB stars. For more evolved, carbon-rich, WR stars the wind strength is also found to be dependent on the Fe abundance, so that they depend on the chemical environment of the host galaxy, but with a mass loss metallicity dependence that is less steep than for OB stars. Our finding that WR mass loss is Z-dependent is a new one, with important consequences for black hole formation and X-ray population studies in external galaxies. A further finding of our study is that the Z dependence of C-rich WR stars becomes weaker at metallicities below Z/Zsun < 1/10, and mass loss no longer declines once the metal abundance drops below (Z/Zsun) = 10^{-3}. This is the result of an increased importance of radiative driving by intermediate mass elements, such as carbon. In combination with rapid rotation and/or proximity to the Eddington limit -- likely to be relevant for massive Population III stars -- this effect may indicate a role for mass loss in the appearance and evolution of these objects, as well as a potential role for stellar winds in enriching the intergalactic medium of the early Universe.

description: Cows that are milked once-a-day (OAD) produce less milk than when milked twice-a-day (TAD). However, these cows also require less feed because of their lower milk production. Hence stocking rates can be increased. New Zealand evidence shows that the benefits from OAD milking can include per cow savings in animal health, labour and electricity costs, plus improved pregnancy rates. A linear programming model was used to evaluate the whole farm impact of these changes. This showed that OAD milking is likely to reduce profitability. This was based on recent New Zealand research showing an average per cow production decrease of 29% for Friesian cows and 20% for Jersey cows. However, given that some cows can perform under OAD at a similar level to TAD, it is likely that selective breeding will eventually lead to per-cow losses of production that are much less than this. If per cow production losses under OAD milking can be reduced to about 10%, then this will allow cow numbers to be increased by about 6% and will provide a similar whole farm profit as under TAD. There would also be lifestyle advantages for farmers. If per cow production losses could be eliminated, then the farm working expenses under OAD on a typical New Zealand dairy farm would be reduced by about 6.5%.

description: We study three families of labelled plane trees. In all these trees, the root is labelled 0, and the labels of two adjacent nodes differ by $0, 1$ or -1. One part of the paper is devoted to enumerative results. For each family, and for all $j\in \ns$, we obtain closed form expressions for the following three generating functions: the generating function of trees having no label larger than $j$; the (bivariate) generating function of trees, counted by the number of edges and the number of nodes labelled $j$; and finally the (bivariate) generating function of trees, counted by the number of edges and the number of nodes labelled at least $j$. Strangely enough, all these series turn out to be algebraic, but we have no combinatorial intuition for this algebraicity. The other part of the paper is devoted to deriving limit laws from these enumerative results. In each of our families of trees, we endow the trees of size $n$ with the uniform distribution, and study the following random variables: $M\_n$, the largest label occurring in a (random) tree; $X\_n(j)$, the number of nodes labelled $j$; and $X\_n^+(j)$, the number of nodes labelled $j$ or more. We obtain limit laws for scaled versions of these random variables. Finally, we translate the above limit results into statements dealing with the integrated superBrownian excursion (ISE). In particular, we describe the law of the supremum of its support (thus recovering some earlier results obtained by Delmas), and the law of its distribution function at a given point. We also conjecture the law of its density (at a given point).

description: We propose a path guidance system with a user-based charge and subsidy (UBCS) scheme for single O-D network mobility management. Users who are willing to join the scheme (subscribers) can submit travel requests along with their VOTs to the system before traveling. Those who are not willing to join (outsiders) only need to submit travel requests to the system. Our system will give all users path guidance from their origins to their destinations, and collect a \emph{path payment} from the UBCS subscribers. Subscribers will be charged or subsided in a way that renders the UBCS strategy-proof, revenue-neutral, and Pareto-improving. A numerical example shows that the UBCS scheme is equitable and progressive.

description: Glana Sensors AB has developed a camera that captures spatiospectral images, which can be converted into hyperspectral images iwth multiple wavebands in the visual and near infrared parts of the spectrum. This project investigated the possibility to detect and characeterize plants directly in the sspatiospectral images, and then make the full hyperspecral image construction only on the image patches containing the relevant plants, thus reducing computational complexity and memory usage. In addition, the purpose was to automate the process in order to avoid manual work. As test data, a data set with spruce seedlings aptured from an airborne drone was used. Four methods were evaluated for detection of spruce seedlings; manual detection, detection based on segmentation, detection using SVMs, and detection using neural networks. Manual detection and neural networks yielded the best results. Detected seedlings were tracked across the spatiospectral image set, honomgraphies between the images created, and hyperspectral image patches created. Finally, the patches were segemented and representative spectral signatures extracted from each seedling.

description: We have studied the rectified current in a geometrically symmetric nano-electromechanical shuttle with periodic kicks and sinusoidal ac bias voltages. The rectified current is exactly zero under the geometrical symmetry which is generated by the electrons transferred from source to drain electrodes through the movable shuttle. We investigate the nonzero rectified currents through the symmetric shuttle with regular motion of which the time-translational symmetry is broken. The motion of the shuttle, moreover, becomes chaotic with the same mechanism of the kicked rotor and generates the scattered current as increasing kick strength. We point out that the time-translational-symmetry breaking of the instantaneous current is an important role of manipulation of the rectified current.

description: This guideline document aims to provide European research infrastructure (EU RI) Communication Officers and other RI stakeholders with tools and recommendations to develop communication strategies to effectively engage with Latin American stakeholders. It was designed to serve as a roadmap for developing context-appropriate communications with Latin American stakeholders, in view of increasing RI visibility to target audiences and to make RIs more ‘findable’ on the web (and on their respective websites, with clear information regarding international collaboration or other opportunities). Developed as part of the Horizon 2020-funded RI-VIS project (https://ri-vis.eu), the document is based on a survey, which was filled out by 26 respondents from: Brazil (3), Chile (2), Guatemala (1), Nicaragua (17), and Uruguay (3). The main takeaways from the survey include the desire for collaborative approaches, including, but not limited to, staff exchanges and training, and the need to consider limited funding opportunities when reaching out to potential targets. It does not seem realistic to consider Latin American stakeholders as another (future) potential market for EU RI services, whereby services would be paid for at full market cost; alternative, more collaborative approaches, based on local context and needs, may thus be more appropriate. Some respondents indicated difficulty knowing how to reach out to EU RI stakeholders and ensure timely follow-up. This highlights the need for EU RIs to have appropriate outreach strategies in place, with pre-identified contact points and a process for responding to inquiries (in addition to seeking collaboration). Some of the findings are applicable to other regions beyond Latin America: the need for cultural sensitivity, awareness of the local socio-economic/political context, attention to language (and the nuances certain terms may carry), the need for clear captivating messages, the importance of collaborative approaches (involving the non-EU participants as leaders in project design), etc. Ultimately, communication serves to support organisational objectives; here we can see that communication can also inform RIs’ international outreach strategies, providing a new lens to see and engage with the world.
