description: Following my previous essay, I look at two more of the two dozen or so kinematic groups known to exist in the solar neighbourhood: the Arcturus group and the HR 1614 group. Data in Gaia DR2 allow an unprecedented view of the local kinematic structure, and detailed studies suggest that both are `phase-space waves' that could have been cause by an ancient merger.

description: This paper reports the results of a case study analyzing the impacts of promotion and advertising conducted by the Washington Apple Commission (WAC) using both single- and multi-equation systems. The analyses are compared in terms of the comparability and coherency of results and in terms of the types of information that can be generated by the multi-equation model but not by the single-equation model. Due to the availability of detailed data from the WAC, the multi-equation system incorporates measures of actual lines of print media within an explicit model of print media as well as a measure of the multiplier effect associated with WAC promotion expenditures relative to the overall (retail-matched) level of print media. This information cannot be effectively included in a single-equation analysis. The multi-equation system also includes supply-response and price linkages between F.O.B. and retail levels. Monthly data are used for all systems. The results of this study suggest that in terms of predicting the quantity effects of promotion expenditures, if one conditions on F.O.B. price levels the effects of non-trade activities from the single equation are not statistically significant and seasonality is not a major factor in determining monthly demand. Conversely, within the multi-equation approach, results of this study suggest that non-trade activities did have a measurable impact on the demand for Washington apples and that seasonality is a major factor in determining monthly demand. In terms of predicting the price effects of promotion expenditures, if one conditions on supply elasticities, the approaches provide similar predictions of price impacts. However, the simultaneous supply feedback is significant in the apple industry case, so, by taking the interaction of supply and demand into account, the more complex multiple-equation approach predicts notable supply response-induced mitigation in price increases originally induced by promotion efforts relative to when impacts of promotions are measured under scenarios of a fixed supply function. Actual cost estimates by type of analysis are also provided for each approach. The estimates are based on actual costs incurred in conducting the analyses. The results of the case study provide a basis for assessing the necessity, as well as the benefits and costs, of conducting a detailed and complex multi-equation promotion evaluation relative to a simpler and more focused single-equation analysis of promotion effectiveness.

description: This paper is a descriptive study of consumers' self-reported knowledge, assumptions, and acceptance of genetically modified foods in the U.S. These findings are based on a national survey of consumers. Our findings demonstrate a rather low level of awareness among most Americans about bioengineered foods. Most Americans tend to view the use of biotechnology in food production with guarded optimism. While a majority believe that biotechnology will benefit many people, they also feel that the dangers of genetic modification warrant strict regulation of the technology. In general, there is greater support for the use of this technology in plants than in animals and in order to bring tangible benefits to consumers.

description: The vast majority of the mass in the Milky Way (MW) is in dark matter (DM); we therefore cannot directly observe the MW mass distribution, and have to use tracer populations in order to infer properties of the MW DM halo. However, MW halo tracers do not only feel the gravitational influence of the MW itself. Tracers can also be affected by MW satellites; Garavito-Camargo et al. (2019) (hereafter GC19) demonstrate that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) induces a density wake in the MW DM, resulting in large scale kinematic patterns in the MW stellar halo. In this work, we use spherical harmonic expansion (SHE) of the velocity fields of simulated stellar halos in an effort to disentangle perturbations on large scales (e.g., due to the LMC itself as well as the LMC-induced DM wake) and small scales (due to substructure). Using the GC19 simulations, we demonstrate how the different terms in the SHE of the stellar velocity field reflect the different wake components, and show that these signatures are a strong function of the LMC mass. An exploration of model halos built from accreted dwarfs Bullock & Johnston (2005) suggests that stellar debris from massive, recent accretion events can produce much more power in the velocity angular power spectra than the perturbation from the LMC-induced wake. We therefore consider two models for the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream -- the most recent, massive accretion event in the MW apart from the LMC -- and find that the angular power on large scales is generally dominated by the LMC-induced wake, even when Sgr is included. We conclude that SHE of the MW stellar halo velocity field may therefore be a useful tool in quantifying the response of the MW DM halo to the LMC's infall.

description: This paper discusses a process of supplier relationship development and evolution within the agri-food chain of Central and Eastern Europe during transition. We use the case of Belgian multinational brewing company Interbrew to suggest that independent facilitators holding sufficient private enforcement capital with local farmers can be used to facilitate the required supply base of local raw materials. Traditional business models for local product procurement have been found to be inappropriate for operating within business environments characterized by financially distressed local farmers who possess limited trust in processors, lack the necessary relationship-specific assets, and face weak external enforcement. In such environments the presence of sufficient initial private enforcement capital is necessary to facilitate exchange and assist in the development of a sustainable local supply base. When the processors lack sufficient capital, we argue that independent facilitators can be successfully employed to provide the link between farmers and processors. Further increases to the private enforcement capital through provision of inputs, technical assistance, and guaranteed payments widen the self-enforcing range of the contract and reduce the risk of contractual breach. Thus the presence of sufficient private enforcement capital was critical in facilitating the development of a sustainable supply that, once established, enabled Interbrew to continue divesting of malting facilities and to focus on the core competencies of brewing and marketing beer.

description: In a previous work with Mildenberger and Shelah, we showed that the combinatorics of the selection hypotheses involving tau-covers is sensitive to the selection operator used. We introduce a natural generalization of Scheepers' selection operators, and show that: (1) A slight change in the selection operator, which in classical cases makes no difference, leads to different properties when tau-covers are involved. (2) One of the newly introduced properties sheds some light on a problem of Scheepers concerning tau-covers. Improving an earlier result, we also show that no generalized Luzin set satisfies U_fin(Gamma,Tau).

Physical activity and sport after spinal cord injury : an inside perspective
Creators: name: Levins, Stephen Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The spinal cord injured (SCI) population has been shown to be at risk of developing serious secondary complications after injury and many authors have attributed this in part to a sedentary life style. Consequently, this study was designed to examine the issues that encourage and discourage participation in physical activity and sport after a SCI. In recognition of the profound influence of society on disability, it was deemed important to explore fully the social, as well as individual, issues that affect participation. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore the experiences of individuals with paraplegia concerning their experiences with physical activity and sport. Analysis of their statements led to the development of overarching themes that were compared to the growing literature on disability and sport and physical activity. Through the words of eight participants, this study has confirmed the potential importance of physical activity and sport in an individual's life post-injury. More importantly, participants credited activities with providing profound meaning to their lives and a method of contrasting societal stigma as well as creating a positive identity. The potential role of physical activity in assisting in this process emerged as a predominant theme. The participants' narratives provide evidence that social factors do play a large role in enabling or disabling their participation in sport and physical activity after SCI. In addition to citing environmental barriers such as accessibility, availability of resources and equipment, and attitudinal barriers of others; their stories also reveal an internal process of redefining self that occurs after injury which profoundly impacts participation. This internal process, however, is likely in turn influenced somewhat by societal ideals, again outlining the profound influence of society. Consequently, the answer to the question 'What factors determine whether an individual will participate or not participate in physical activity and sport following a SCI?' appears to be complex, involving both internal and external factors. The information gained through the narratives of these eight individuals can help rehabilitation professionals, planners of physical activity and sport, and individuals with SCI, their families and their friends by providing needed insight into both the personal and societal challenges they face.
Anomalous Features in Internal Cylinder Flow Instabilities subject to Uncertain Rotational Effects

description: We study the flow dynamics inside a high-speed rotating cylinder after introducing strong symmetry-breaking disturbance factors at cylinder wall motion. We propose and formulate a mathematically robust stochastic model for the rotational motion of cylinder wall alongside the stochastic representation of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We employ a comprehensive stochastic computational fluid dynamics framework combining spectral/$hp$ element method and probabilistic collocation method to obtain high-fidelity realizations of our mathematical model in order to quantify the propagation of parametric uncertainty for dynamics-representative quantities of interests. We observe that the modeled symmetry-breaking disturbances cause a flow instability arising from the wall. Utilizing global sensitivity analysis approaches, we identify the dominant source of uncertainty in our proposed model. We next perform a qualitative and quantitative statistical analysis on the fluctuating fields characterizing the fingerprints and measures of intense and rapidly evolving non-Gaussian behavior through space and time. We claim that such non-Gaussian statistics essentially emerge and evolve due to an intensified presence of coherent vortical motions initially triggered by the flow instability due to symmetry-breaking rotation of the cylinder. We show that this mechanism causes memory effects in the flow dynamics in a way that noticeable anomaly in the time-scaling of enstrophy record is observed in the long run apart from the onset of instability. Our findings suggest an effective strategy to exploit controlled flow instabilities in order to enhance the turbulent mixing in engineering applications.

description: In the $Λ$CDM paradigm the Galactic stellar halo is predicted to harbor the accreted debris of smaller systems. To identify these systems, the H3 Spectroscopic Survey, combined with $Gaia$, is gathering 6D phase-space and chemical information in the distant Galaxy. Here we present a comprehensive inventory of structure within 50 kpc from the Galactic center using a sample of 5684 giants at $|b|>40^{\circ}$ and $|Z|>2$ kpc. We identify known structures including the high-$α$ disk, the in-situ halo (disk stars heated to eccentric orbits), Sagittarius (Sgr), $Gaia$-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE), the Helmi Streams, Sequoia, and Thamnos. Additionally, we identify the following new structures: (i) Aleph ([Fe/H]$=-0.5$), a low eccentricity structure that rises a surprising 10 kpc off the plane, (ii, iii) Arjuna ([Fe/H]$=-1.2$) and I'itoi ([Fe/H]$$80$\%$ of the halo is built by two massive ($M_{\star}\sim10^{8}-10^{9}M_{\odot}$) accreted dwarfs: GSE ([Fe/H]$=-1.2$) within 25 kpc, and Sgr ([Fe/H]$=-1.0$) beyond 25 kpc. This explains the relatively high overall metallicity of the halo ([Fe/H]$\approx-1.2$). We attribute $\gtrsim$95$\%$ of the sample to one of the listed structures, pointing to a halo built entirely from accreted dwarfs and heating of the disk.

description: The statistical properties of the conductance of one dimensional disordered systems are studied at finite bias voltage V and temperature T, in an independent-electron picture. We calculate the complete distribution of the conductance P(G) in different regimes of V, T within a statistical model of resonant tunneling transmission. We find that P(G) changes from the well-known log-normal distribution at T=0 in the linear response regime to a Gaussian distribution at large V, T. The dependence on T and V of average quantities such as < G >, < ln G > is analyzed as well. Our analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations. We also discuss the limits of validity of the model and conclude that the effects of finite T, V presented here should be observable.

description: Context:Blazars are the rarest and most powerful active galactic nuclei, playing a crucial and growing role in today multi-frequency and multi-messenger astrophysics. Current blazar catalogs, however, are incomplete and particularly depleted at low Galactic latitudes. Aims: We aim at augmenting the current blazar census to build a catalog of blazar candidates with homogeneous sky coverage that can provide candidate counterparts to unassociated gamma-ray sources, sources of high-energy neutrino emission, and ultra-high energy cosmic rays. Methods: Starting from the ALMA Calibrator Catalog we built a catalog of 1580 blazar candidates (ALMA Blazar Candidates, ABC) for which we collect multi-wavelength information. We also compared ABC sources with existing blazar catalogs. Results: The ABC catalogue fills the lack of low Galactic latitude sources in current blazar catalogues. ABC sources are significantly dimmer than known blazars in Gaia g band, and they appear bluer in SDSS and WISE colors. The majority of ABC sources (~ 90%) have optical spectra that classify them as QSO, while the remaining sources resulted galactic objects. ABC sources are similar in X-rays to known blazar, while in gamma-rays they are on average dimmer and softer, indicating a significant contribution of FSRQ sources. Making use of WISE colours, we classified 715 ABC sources as candidate gamma-ray blazar of different classes. Conclusions: We built a new catalogue of 1580 candidate blazars with a rich multi-wavelength data-set, filling the lack of low Galactic latitude sources in current blazar catalogues. This will be particularly important to identify the source population of high energy neutrinos or ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The data collected by the upcoming LSST surveys will provide a key tool to investigate the possible blazar nature of these sources.

description: Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process of bounded variation is introduced as a solution of an analogue of the Langevin equation with an integrated telegraph process replacing a Brownian motion. There is an interval $I$ such that the process starting from the internal point of $I$ always remains within $I$. Starting outside, this process a. s. reaches this interval in a finite time. The distribution of the time for which the process falls into this interval is obtained explicitly. The certain formulae for the mean and the variance of this process are obtained on the basis of the joint distribution of the telegraph process and its integrated copy. Under Kac's rescaling, the limit process is identified as the classical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.

description: We investigate the strong coupling region of the topological sector of the two-dimensional $ϕ^4$ theory. Using discrete light cone quantization (DLCQ), we extract the masses of the lowest few excitations and observe level crossings. To understand this phenomena, we evaluate the expectation value of the integral of the normal ordered $ϕ^2$ operator and we extract the number density of constituents in these states. A coherent state variational calculation confirms that the number density for low-lying states above the transition coupling is dominantly that of a kink-antikink-kink state. The Fourier transform of the form factor of the lowest excitation is extracted which reveals a structure close to a kink-antikink-kink profile. Thus, we demonstrate that the structure of the lowest excitations becomes that of a kink-antikink-kink configuration at moderately strong coupling. We extract the critical coupling for the transition of the lowest state from that of a kink to a kink-antikink-kink. We interpret the transition as evidence for the onset of kink condensation which is believed to be the physical mechanism for the symmetry restoring phase transition in two-dimensional $ϕ^4$ theory.

description: Située dans la banlieue nord de Tunis et éloignée d’une vingtaine de kilomètres du centre-ville Tunis, Raoued a connu un étalement spatial important à un rythme assez considérable. L’installation des ménages est en étroite relation avec le développement des systèmes de transport et celui du cadre de vie (disponibilité foncière des terrains et proximité des éléments naturels importants) qui ne cessent d’encourager ces ménages à s’installer. Elle recèle donc une forte dynamique socio-territoriale soutenue par le désir des classes moyennes à s’installer dans les lotissements viabilisés et des classes inférieures qui se sont orientées vers l’habitat non réglementaire. Notre recherche montre que les déplacements quotidiens, associés à la pénibilité, permettent d’observer l’organisation des pratiques dans l’espace et dans le temps, le rythme d’activité journalier et les stratégies d’adaptation déployées au quotidien. Elle montre également que la mobilité quotidienne des ménages est inégale et contrastée puisqu’elle est tributaire de la classe d’appartenance (classes moyennes ou inférieures) et par conséquent par le moyen de transport emprunté (transport collectif ou voiture particulière).

description: The star formation rate function (SFRF) and specific star formation rate function (sSFRF) from the observation are impacted by the Eddington bias, due to the uncertainties on the estimated SFR. We develop a novel method to correct the Eddington bias and obtained the intrinsic SFRF and sSFRF from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. The intrinsic SFRF is in good agreement with measurements from previous data in the literature that relied on UV SFRs but its high star-forming end is slightly lower than those IR and radio tracers. We demonstrate that the intrinsic sSFRF from SDSS has a bi-modal form with the one peak found at ${\rm sSFR \sim 10^{-9.7} yr^{-1}}$ representing the star-forming objects while the other peak is found at ${\rm sSFR \sim 10^{-12} yr^{-1}}$ representing the quenched population. Furthermore, we compare our observations with the predictions from the IllustrisTNG and Illustris simulations and show that the ``TNG'' model performs much better than its predecessor. However, we show that the simulated SFRF and cosmic star formation density (CSFRD) of TNG simulations are highly dependent on resolution, reflecting the limitations of the model and today state-of-the-art simulations. We demonstrate that the bi-modal, two peaked sSFRF implied by the SDSS observations does not appear in TNG regardless of the adopted box-size or resolution. This tension reflects the need for inclusion of an additional efficient quenching mechanism to the TNG model.

Exploring lexical processing in children with and without language impairments
Creators: name: Howarth, Verity
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Current explanations for lexical processing difficulties in children with SLI were evaluated using an online picture-naming task. The twenty-seven participants included a group of school age children with language impairment (SLI), and two groups of typically developing children, one matched for language level (LM) and one matched for age (AM). Participants named familiar line drawings from a computer screen while hearing semantically related or unrelated nouns through headphones. These words occurred at three points relative to the pictures: -300ms, 0ms, +300ms. Reaction times and accuracy were recorded. The SLI group resembled age peers in overall response patterns and speed, though some slowing was noted. The SLI group showed semantic priming in the first two Time conditions, but at +300ms, the priming pattern was reversed. Findings are seen to point to processing asynchronies and generalized slowing rather than representational deficit accounts.

description: Local quantum operations and classical communication (LOCC) put considerable constraints on many quantum information processing tasks such as cloning and discrimination. Surprisingly however, discrimination of any two pure states survives such constraints in some sense. In this paper, we show that cloning is not that lucky; namely, conclusive LOCC cloning of two product states is strictly less efficient than global cloning.

description: The replacement of SiO2 by so-called high-k oxides is one of the major challenges for the semiconductor industry to date. Based on electronic structure calculations and ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations, we are able to provide a consistent picture of the growth process of a class of epitaxial oxides around SrO and SrTiO3. The detailed understanding of the interfacial binding principles has also allowed us to propose a way to engineer the band-offsets between the oxide and the silicon substrate.

description: This article studies supply chain consequences from applying the new-more socially acceptable -strategy of emergency vaccination instead of the large-scale killing of healthy animals for controlling livestock epidemics. We consider an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in a densely populated livestock area of the Netherlands. From an epidemiological perspective, simulation results show that emergency vaccination significantly reduces the size of an epidemic, both in terms of the length of an outbreak and in the number of animals killed. However, in a worst-case situation, not destroying the vaccinated animals after the end of the epidemic leads to additional consequential losses for food supply chains involved of about Euro 200 million. A business case illustrates that the exact size of these losses depends on specific supply volumes and marketing strategies. Calculations provide a basis for addressing cost sharing issues and loss reducing opportunities of new responses to livestock epidemics.

description: Optical entropy bounds for metal nanoparticles immersed in nonlinear optical media and for nonlinear dielectric microdroplets on metal surfaces are calculated near the frequency of the surface plasmon resonance. Similar to the Bekenstein-Hawking result for the black hole entropy, the entropy bounds in nonlinear quantum nanooptics may be expressed as the ratios of the droplet perimeter (nanoparticle area) to the effective Planck length (effective Planck length squared).

description: We consider the characterization of the nonequilibrium stationary state of a randomly-driven granular gas in terms of an entropy-production based variational formulation. Enforcing spatial homogeneity, we first consider the temporal stability of the stationary state reached after a transient. In connection, two heuristic albeit physically motivated candidates for the non-equilibrium entropy production are put forward. It turns out that none of them displays an extremum for the stationary velocity distribution selected by the dynamics. Finally, the relevance of the relative Kullbach entropy is discussed.

Effect of a strong magnetic field on gravity-mode period spacings in red giant stars

description: When a star evolves into a red giant, the enhanced coupling between core-based gravity modes and envelope-based pressure modes forms mixed modes, allowing its deep interior to be probed by asteroseismology. The ability to obtain information about stellar interiors is important for constraining theories of stellar structure and evolution, for which the origin of various discrepancies between prediction and observation are still under debate. Ongoing speculation surrounds the possibility that some red giant stars may harbour strong (dynamically significant) magnetic fields in their cores, but interpretation of the observational data remains controversial. In part, this is tied to shortfalls in our understanding of the effects of strong fields on the seismic properties of gravity modes, which lies beyond the regime of standard perturbative methods. Here we seek to investigate the effect of a strong magnetic field on the asymptotic period spacings of gravity modes. We use a Hamiltonian ray approach to measure the volume of phase space occupied by mode-forming rays, this being roughly proportional to the average density of modes (number of modes per unit frequency interval). A strong field appears to systematically increase this by about 10%, which predicts a ~10% smaller period spacing. Evidence of near integrability in the ray dynamics hints that the gravity-mode spectrum may still exhibit pseudo-regularities under a strong field.

description: Health risks associated with seafood products prompted the introduction of mandatory HACCP in the seafood industry in the United States in 1997. This paper quantifies the trade impact of this introduction by analyzing patterns of seafood imports to the U.S. over the period 1990 to 2004. The results of a gravity model using panel data suggest that HACCP had a negative and significant impact on overall seafood imports from the top 33 developing and developed countries selling into the U.S. For developing countries, the results support the view of "standards-as-barriers" versus "standards-as-catalysts" as the negative HACCP effect was experienced by developing countries, while the effect for developed countries was positive.

description: Processing of raw data from modern astronomical instruments is nowadays often carried out using dedicated software, so-called "pipelines" which are largely run in automated operation. In this paper we describe the data reduction pipeline of the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral field spectrograph operated at ESO's Paranal observatory. This spectrograph is a complex machine: it records data of 1152 separate spatial elements on detectors in its 24 integral field units. Efficiently handling such data requires sophisticated software, a high degree of automation and parallelization. We describe the algorithms of all processing steps that operate on calibrations and science data in detail, and explain how the raw science data gets transformed into calibrated datacubes. We finally check the quality of selected procedures and output data products, and demonstrate that the pipeline provides datacubes ready for scientific analysis.

description: The photon-meson transition form factors of light pseudoscalar mesons $π^{0}$, $η$, and $η^{\prime}$ are systematically calculated in a light-cone framework, which is applicable as a light-cone quark model at low $Q^{2}$ and is also physically in accordance with the light-cone pQCD approach at large $Q^{2}$. The calculated results agree with the available experimental data at high energy scale. We also predict the low $Q^{2}$ behaviors of the photon-meson transition form factors of $π^{0}$, $η$ and $η^{\prime }$, which are measurable in $e+A({Nucleus})\to e+A+M$ process via Primakoff effect at JLab and DESY.

Dominant Role of Two-Photon Vertex in Nonlinear Response of Dirac Materials

description: Using a conserving Baym-Kadanoff approach, we present a fully compelling theory of nonlinear dc response of a Dirac system to electric fields in the presence of disorder scattering. We show that the nonlinear terms are strikingly ruled by the appearance of a dominant two-photon vertex which is absent at the bare level and finite even in the weak-coupling limit. Such two-photon vertex self-generation highlights the crucial role of the frequency and field dependence of the scattering rates in the nonlinear regime. Our study reveals a novel many-body mechanism in the nonlinear response of Dirac materials whose effects are predicted to be observable.

description: Scientists often re-invent things that were long known. Here we review these activities as related to the mechanism of producing power law distributions, originally proposed in 1922 by Yule to explain experimental data on the sizes of biological genera, collected by Willis. We also review the history of re-invention of closely related branching processes, random graphs and coagulation models.
