description: We construct rigorously suitable approximate solutions to the Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system by using the method of matched asymptotics expansions. This is a main step in the proof of convergence given in the first part of this contribution, where the rigorous sharp interface limit of a coupled Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system in a two dimensional, bounded and smooth domain is shown. As a novelty compared to earlier works, we introduce fractional order terms, which are of significant importance, but share the problematic feature that they may not be uniformly estimated in $ε$ in arbitrarily strong norms. As a consequence, gaining necessary estimates for the error, which occurs when considering the approximations in the Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system, is rather involved.

description: To upgrade the economy of sheep farming in new conditions to the level of other agricultural sectors where there is a higher level of factor productivity, sheep breeding must undergo the effective and systematic reclassification. This should be implemented not only through an improvement in the production level but also through changes in the production priorities, i. e. from wool milk-meat to milk meat wool. At present, farmers are gradually adapting to these changes. To make sheep farming profitable, there should be a change in the attitude to farming disipline, labour organization, mechanization, as well as to the state support, which is currently insufficient. If these measures are taken, sheep farming will become interesting and profitable.

description: Core collapse supernovae are a huge source of all flavor neutrinos. The flavor composition, energy spectrum and time structure of the neutrino burst from a galactic supernova can provide information about the explosion mechanism and the mechanisms of proto neutron star cooling. Such data can also give information about the intrinsic properties of the neutrino such as flavor oscillations. One important question is to understand to which extend can the supernova and the neutrino physics be decoupled in the observation of a single supernova. In this paper we discuss the possibility to probe the neutrino mixing angle \th13 and the type of mass hierarchy from the detection of supernova neutrinos with a liquid argon TPC detector. Moreover, describing the supernova neutrino emission by a set of five parameters (average energy of the different neutrino flavors, their relative luminosity and the total supernova binding energy), we quantitatively study how it is possible to constrain these parameters. A characteristic feature of the liquid argon TPC is the accessibility to four independent detection channels ((1) elastic scattering off electrons, (2) charged neutrino and (3) antineutrino and (4) neutral currents on argon nuclei) which have different sensitivities to electron-neutrino, anti-electron-neutrino and other neutrino flavors (muon and tau (anti)neutrinos). This allows to over-constrain the five supernova and the flavor mixing parameters and to some extent disentangle neutrino from supernova physics.

description: The composition of the agricultural exports of the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic is analysed and compared. The calculated values of the index showed that the composition of exports of the two republics was similar and the same similarity was detected both in the market economies and economies in transition. This can be interpreted as positive sign because it implies that both republics entered markets of developed countries for commodities which can no longer be sold in domestic market.

description: We realize a combined trap for bosonic chromium 52Cr and rubidium 87Rb atoms. First experiments focus on exploring a suitable loading scheme for the combined trap and on studies of new trap loss mechanisms originating from simultaneous trapping of two species. By comparing the trap loss from the 87Rb magneto-optical trap (MOT) in absence and presence of magnetically trapped ground state 52Cr atoms we determine the scattering cross section of sigma_{inelRbCr}=(5.0+-4.0)*10^{-18}m^2 for light induced inelastic collisions between the two species. Studying the trap loss from the Rb magneto-optical trap induced by the Cr cooling-laser light, the photoionization cross section of the excited 5P_{3/2} state at an ionizing wavelength of 426nm is measured to be sigma_{p}=(1.1+-0.3)*10^{-21}m^2.

description: Making money in the custom harvesting business is not as simple as knowing your costs and charging slightly more to garner a profit. If your costs are especially high for the services you provide, the cost-plus-markup process will mean you don’t get jobs – you’ve priced yourself out of the market. If your costs are especially low, you don’t maximize profit as you leave money on the table – you could be charging more. Rather, long-run profitability is about being a low-cost operator for the services you render in terms of $/acre, $/hour, or $/bushel. But, to do that you need to know your costs relative to others, especially for specific categories, so that you can focus your efforts to continually improve management. Over the past twenty years, we have worked extensively with dozens of (grain) custom harvesters helping them economically analyze and benchmark their operations. In this session, we will present the results across the twenty year time period identifying trends and factors that help make some years and some harvesters more profitable than others. Statistics will be presented helping audience members understand the characteristics and uniqueness of the custom harvesting industry.

description: Starting from the developed generalized point process model of $1/f$ noise (B. Kaulakys et al, Phys. Rev. E 71 (2005) 051105; cond-mat/0504025) we derive the nonlinear stochastic differential equations for the signal exhibiting 1/f^β$ noise and $1/x^λ$ distribution density of the signal intensity with different values of $β$ and $λ$. The processes with $1/f^β$ are demonstrated by the numerical solution of the derived equations with the appropriate restriction of the diffusion of the signal in some finite interval. The proposed consideration may be used for modeling and analysis of stochastic processes in different systems with the power-law distributions, long-range memory or with the elements of self-organization.

description: Geflüchtete Menschen werden in Gesundheitssurveys in Deutschland bisher unzureichend berücksichtigt. Ziel von RESPOND (Improving regional health system responses to the challenges of forced migration) war die Erhebung valider epidemiologischer Daten zu Gesundheitszustand und Versorgung bei geflüchteten Menschen. Kernelemente waren ein bevölkerungsbezogenes Stichprobenverfahren in Baden-Württemberg, mehrsprachige Fragebögen und ein persönlicher Ansatz zur Rekrutierung und Datenerhebung in Sammelunterkünften mit mehrsprachigen Feldteams. Zudem wurden Daten zur Lage und baulichen Qualität der Unterkünfte ermittelt. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf eine hohe allgemeine gesundheitliche Belastung hin. Die Prävalenz von Depressions- (44,3 %) und Angstsymptomatik (43,0 %) war hoch. Gleichzeitig wird ein ausgeprägter Verzicht auf primär- (30,5 %) sowie fachärztliche (30,9 %) Versorgung berichtet. Zwar sind primärärztliche Angebote gut zu erreichen. Häufige ambulant-sensitive, das heißt durch ambulante Versorgung potenziell vermeidbare Hospitalisierungen (25,3 %) sowie erlebte Defizite in der Versorgungsqualität weisen jedoch auf Zugangsbarrieren hin. Fast die Hälfte aller geflüchteten Menschen (45,3 %) wohnen in Unterkünften mit niedriger baulicher Qualität. Die Erhebung valider Daten zur gesundheitlichen Lage geflüchteter Menschen ist durch eine Kombination aus gezieltem Sampling, mehrsprachigen Rekrutierungs- und Erhebungsinstrumenten sowie persönlichem Kontakt gut möglich. Der Ansatz kann etablierte Verfahren der Durchführung von Gesundheitssurveys ergänzen und auf andere Bundesländer ausgeweitet werden.

description: The BB84 quantum key distribution (QKD) combined with decoy-state method is currently the most practical protocol, which has been proved secure against general attacks in the finite-key regime. Thereinto, statistical fluctuation analysis methods are very important in dealing with finite-key effects, which directly affect secret key rate, secure transmission distance and even the most important security. There are two tasks of statistical fluctuation in decoy-state BB84 QKD. One is the deviation between expected value and observed value for a given expected value or observed value. The other is the deviation between phase error rate of computational basis and bit error rate of dual basis. Here, we provide the rigorous and optimal analytic formula to solve the above tasks, resulting higher secret key rate and longer secure transmission distance. Our results can be widely applied to deal with statistical fluctuation in quantum cryptography protocols.

description: Background: With metabolic alterations of the tumor microenvironment (TME) contributing to cancer progression, metastatic spread and response to targeted therapies, non-invasive and repetitive imaging of tumor metabolism is of major importance. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether multiparametric chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance imaging (CEST-MRI) allows to detect differences in the metabolic profiles of the TME in murine breast cancer models with divergent degrees of malignancy and to assess their response to immunotherapy. Methods: Tumor characteristics of highly malignant 4T1 and low malignant 67NR murine breast cancer models were investigated, and their changes during tumor progression and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment were evaluated. For simultaneous analysis of different metabolites, multiparametric CEST-MRI with calculation of asymmetric magnetization transfer ratio (MTRasym) at 1.2 to 2.0 ppm for glucose-weighted, 2.0 ppm for creatine-weighted and 3.2 to 3.6 ppm for amide proton transfer- (APT-) weighted CEST contrast was conducted. Ex vivo validation of MRI results was achieved by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging with laser postionization and immunohistochemistry. Results: During tumor progression, the two tumor models showed divergent trends for all examined CEST contrasts: While glucose- and APT-weighted CEST contrast decreased and creatine-weighted CEST contrast increased over time in the 4T1 model, 67NR tumors exhibited increased glucose- and APT-weighted CEST contrast during disease progression, accompanied by decreased creatine-weighted CEST contrast. Already three days after treatment initiation, CEST contrasts captured response to ICI therapy in both tumor models.
Conclusion: Multiparametric CEST-MRI enables non-invasive assessment of metabolic signatures of the TME, allowing both for estimation of the degree of tumor malignancy and for assessment of early response to immune checkpoint inhibition.

THE IMPACT OF EDUCATION ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY: EVIDENCE FROM EAST ASIAN ECONOMIES

description: This study presents an efficient version of test for the hypothesis that education plays a key role in influencing agricultural productivity based on a switching regression model. In the present setting, farmers’ ability to deal with disequilibria is allowed to change with education, which thereby provides a concrete evidence of the effect of education on selected East Asian production agriculture. The results suggest that there exists a threshold for education to be influential to agricultural productivity change when the selected East-Asian economies are categoried by their degree of economic development. Moreover, for the group of economies where education constitutes a major determinant of productivity growth in both the technological progression and/or stagnation/recession regimes, the effect of education is found to vary from economy to economy and from regime to regime. Generally speaking, however, those East-Asian economies tend to reach their turning point in short time despite of the mentioned differences. This result therefore leads to important policy implications concerning giving an impetus to human capital investment in the agriculture sector.

description: We present the data analysis pipeline, commissioning observations and initial results from the GREENBURST fast radio burst (FRB) detection system on the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) previously described by Surnis et al. which uses the 21~cm receiver observing commensally with other projects. The pipeline makes use of a state-of-the-art deep learning classifier to winnow down the very large number of false positive single-pulse candidates that mostly result from radio frequency interference. In our observations totalling 156.5 days so far, we have detected individual pulses from 20 known radio pulsars which provide an excellent verification of the system performance. We also demonstrate, through blind injection analyses, that our pipeline is complete down to a signal-to-noise threshold of 12. Depending on the observing mode, this translates to peak flux sensitivities in the range 0.14--0.89~Jy. Although no FRBs have been detected to date, we have used our results to update the analysis of Lawrence et al. to constrain the FRB all-sky rate to be $1140^{+200}_{-180}$ per day above a peak flux density of 1~Jy. We also constrain the source count index $α=0.83\pm0.06$ which indicates that the source count distribution is substantially flatter than expected from a Euclidean distribution of standard candles (where $α=1.5$). We discuss this result in the context of the FRB redshift and luminosity distributions. Finally, we make predictions for detection rates with GREENBURST, as well as other ongoing and planned FRB experiments.

description: We present a novel method to derive liquid-gas coexisting densities, $ρ^{\pm}(T)$, from grand canonical simulations (without knowledge of $\Tc$ or criticality class). The minima of $ Q_{L}\equiv< m^{2} >_{L}^{2}/< m^{4}>_{L}$ in an $L$$\times$$L \times$$L$ box with $m = ρ- _{L}$ are used to generate recursively an unbiased universal finite-size scaling function. Monte Carlo data for a hard-core square-well fluid and for the restricted primitive model electrolyte yield $ρ^{\pm}$ to $\pm 1$-2% of $\rhoc$ down to 1 part in $10^4$-$10^3$ of $\Tc$ (and confirm well Ising character). Pressure mixing in the scaling fields is unequivocally revealed and indicates Yang-Yang ratios $R_μ = -0.04_{4}$ and $0.2_{6}$ for the two models, respectively.

We ran a controlled study with 8 BLV participants comparing four tactile representations: organic node-link diagram, grid node-link diagram, adjacency matrix and braille list. We found that the node-link representations were preferred and more effective for path following and cluster identification while the matrix and list were better for adjacency tasks. This is broadly in line with findings for the corresponding visual representations.

title: Prison-Based Transformative Learning and Its Role in Life After Release
Creators: name: Pike, Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Higher-level education in prison is offered mostly through distance learning. Previous research found many barriers to studying this Prison-based Higher-level Distance learning (PHDL) but also suggested that prisoners who persevered with their study appeared changed in some way and perceived themselves to have more chance of a better future. There is, however, very little understanding of how such change occurs or whether it actually makes a difference to them after prison. This thesis presents research which investigated in what ways PHDL is transformative and what role it plays in learners’ lives after release. Qualitative, ethnographic and longitudinal in approach, the research was split into three phases. The pilot phase involved interviewing 10 exprisoners who had completed PHDL. The in-prison phase involved ethnographic fieldwork in 10 prisons in England and Wales with 51 serving prisoners who were due for release and had either completed PHDL or had considered but not engaged with PHDL, this second group providing comparative analysis. The post-release phase traced 28 of those prisoners after release, and engaged with many for up to one year, as they attempted to integrate back into society. An additional perspective was gained from 63 others such as staff, educators and family. A thematic analysis of the complex data identified physical, infrastructural and organisational factors affecting the participants which were mostly barriers to learning and integration. These were mediated by social support factors of family, individual staff, and the perception of being part of a learning community. The psychological outcomes from the interaction of these factors included a positive student identity, resilience and hope which were carried with participants upon release. The immediate post-release environment was chaotic and most participants failed to continue studying, temporarily losing their positive student identity. There was very little social support at this time and it was the participants’ own resilience and hope which helped them to survive until life began to improve. Ultimately it was found that those who were able to capitalise on their learning were better placed to integrate into society.

description: The study objectives are to identify determinants of commodity trade flows and analyze the effects of major Regional Free Trade Agreements on specific vegetable and fruit trade. The RFTAs are evaluated to identify the extent to which free trade associations lead to trade expansion. Using panel data from 1999 to 2008 covering 48 countries, the study found that per capita income, population, and per capita production capacity are significant determinants of fruits and vegetable trade flows. The results show that NAFTA and EU enhanced vegetable and fruit trade through trade creation and limited trade diversion. The ASEAN association generated insignificant trade expansion. The effects of the MERCOSUR association are inconclusive and generally commodity-specific. The findings reveal that the exchange rate uncertainty significantly impairs commodity flows. However, unlike previous findings, our study suggests that the negative impact is not uniform and may vary by sector, commodity, and exchange rate uncertainty measures.

These junctions exhibit a zero field resistance dip. The dip magnitude depends on the size of the grains. We interpret these results as a consequence of the orange peel effect between the continuous ferromagnetic film and the magnetic grains. The coupling is found to be much stronger than that between continuous ferromagnetic layers.

description: This paper examines the association of foodborne outbreaks with farm and labor density. Using a novel data set, comprised of state level agricultural statistics from the US Census Bureau combined with foodborne outbreak information compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2004 to 2014, we find that, within the vegetable and melon industry, raw outbreaks do not appear to be significantly correlated with a decrease in farm numbers. However, taking into account the severity of an outbreak suggests a negative long-term correlation between farming establishments in an affected state. Labor also appears to be correlated with outbreaks, positively in the near-term but negatively overall. Finally, spatial results suggest that nearby markets may be impacted by vegetable and melon outbreaks, and that states tend to be surrounded by neighbors with dissimilar outcomes.
Plays, Plague, and Pouches: The Role of the Outside in Early Modern English Plague Remedies

description: The article analyses the connection between seventeenth-century English needlework, drama, and plague. Frog pouches – needleworked, perfumed sweet bags used to repel the miasmatic spread of plague – reveal wider attitudes about foreign landscapes in seventeenth-century London and England more generally. This article, then, uses the works of Shakespeare, Jonson, and other playwrights and authors of the period, as well as the materials of frog pouches themselves, to explore the exoticism and accessibility of those environments that frogs inhabit. Foreign animals that lived far from English shores, the article argues, thus provided the scents for pouches. The animals that these pouches mimic reveal a reverence for the rural landscape closer to home but just as unknown.

description: The electronic and optical properties of the cleavage InAs(110) surface are studied using a semi-empirical tight-binding method which employs an extended atomic-like basis set. We describe and discuss the electronic character of the surface electronic states and we compare with other theoretical approaches, and with experimental observations. We calculate the surface electronic band structure and the Reflectance Anisotropy Spectrum, which are described and discussed in terms of the surface electronic states and the atomic structure.

description: We propose a device based on an antidot embedded in a narrow quantum wire in the edge state regime, that can be used to inject and/or to control spin polarized current. The operational principle of the device is based on the effect of resonant backscattering from one edge state into another through a localized quasi-bound states, combined with the effect of Zeeman splitting of the quasibound states in sufficiently high magnetic field. We outline the device geometry, present detailed quantum-mechanical transport calculation and suggest a possible scheme to test the device performance and functionality.

description: This study presents an industry model developed to analyze the link between targeted production subsidies and excess inventory holdings by using equilibrium displacement modelling. A major question to be investigated is whether a targeted production subsidy can be effective at reducing excess inventory while providing welfare gains to the domestic producers. Monte Carlo simulation results suggest that the policy is expected to achieve its objectives as it improves the welfare of targeted producers and reduces government inventories. The average cost of an increase in the production subsidy to taxpayers would have been 22 percent higher had treasury gains from reduced inventories not been taken into account in the welfare analysis.

description: This paper examines urban agriculture in the context of the University of British Columbia (UBC) community. An edible food garden has previously been created on the south side of the MacMillan building. In order for the garden to be a viable source of food for the use of the Agricultural Science Undergraduate Society (AGUS) and Agora Café, the garden should be expanded to the west side of the building. Consultations with stake-holders were carried out to determine how the garden should be managed. In collaboration with other Scenario 5 groups, consultations were carried out with members of Agora and the AGUS to determine their produce needs and were carried out with a member from Friends of the Farm to determine past volunteer plans. In addition, meetings were conducted with Land and Food Systems (LFS) staff member Martin Hilmer, Jeff Nulty from UBC Plant Operations (Plant Ops), and Nick Gallant from UBC Waste Management to discuss various aspects of the garden. From these consultations, a preliminary business plan was created for the use of the garden. The proposal includes: a possible planting and harvesting plan, a distribution plan, a management plan including a list of proposed committee members for the management of the garden, a proposed method of composting, possible education opportunities and education tools, proposed infrastructure, and an estimated list of tools and their cost. From this we created an estimated budget that would be required to create the garden.

description: Alan Humphrey (13771) was born on October 5th, 1897 in Middlesex; the son of William Humphrey from Kilmarnock. He first joined the London Regiment, and then the Royal Flying Corps in November 1915. He was wounded, and then discharged unfit to St David's Home in Ealing, London in 1919. Permanently disabled, he went to live with Margaret Campbell/O'Keefe (the great aunt of contributor Dorothy Moore), who was a nurse. Margaret Campbell died at the age of 68 in February 1950, and Alan Humphrey died in December 1950 at the age of 53. His occupation was given as street trader, and the family wonder whether he would have lived on with further care.

William Andrew (7999) served with the 1st and 4th battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. On July 12th, 1915, he was declared missing and presumed dead at the Dardanelles Campaign. He is commemorated at the Helles Memorial in Turkey.

Robert Andrew was the brother of William, and served with the Royal Field Artillery. He was in France with the British Expeditionary Force, and was entitled to both the Victory Medal and British War Medal. He survived the war, and went home to Kilmarnock, where he worked as a cashier, married, and raised a family.

description: Sensitive radio continuum surveys of the Galactic plane are ideal for discovering new supernova remnants (SNRs). From the Sino-German λ6 cm polarisation survey of the Galactic plane, an extended shell-like structure has been found at l = 21.8 degree, b = -3.0 degree, which has a size of about 1 degree. New observations were made with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope at λ11 cm to estimate the source spectrum together with the Urumqi λ6 cm and the Effelsberg λ21 cm data. The spectral index of G21.8-3.0 was found to be α = -0.72 {\pm} 0.16. Polarised emission was mostly detected in the eastern half of G21.8-3.0 at both λ6 cm and λ11 cm. These properties, together with the Hα filament along its northern periphery and the lack of infrared emission, indicate that the emission is non-thermal as is usual in shell-type SNRs.

description: Climatic variations affect agriculture in a process with no known end means. Adaptations help to reduce the adverse impacts of climate change. Unfortunately, adaptation has never been considered as a process. Current study empirically identified the adaptation process and its different stages. Moreover, little is known about the farm level adaptation strategies and their determinants. The study in hand found farm level adaptation strategies and determinants of these strategies. The study identified three stages of adaptation i.e. perception, intention and adaptation. It was found that 71.4% farmers perceived about climate change, 58.5% intended to adapt while 40.2% actually adapted. The study further explored that farmers do adaptations through changing crop variety (56.3%), changing planting dates (44.6%), tree plantation (37.5%), increase/conserve irrigation (39.3%) and crop diversification (49.2%). The adaptation strategies used by farmers were autonomous and mostly determined perception to climate change. It was also noted that the adaptation strategies move in a circular process and once they are adapted they remained adapted for a longer period of time. Some constraints slow the adaptation process so; we recommend farmers should be given price incentives to speed-up this process.
