subject: O14, O52

description: In the recent debate in Italy regarding its Southern policy, the view taken by most “Southernists” was that “emigration” to the North is not a factor helping to promote industrial development in the South itself, but merely a substitute for such development. Conversely, the present article argues that in certain circumstances, such as with the Italian Mezzogiorno, the relief of population pressure in an area can have a positive role in facilitating that area’s economic development. The author sets out in rough quantitative terms the aspects of the Southern problem which make it appear that a redistribution of population between South and North is in fact a necessary part of the solution.

description: We investigate the gauge/gravity duality in the interaction between two spherical membranes in the 11-dimensional pp-wave background. On the supergravity side, we find the solution to the field equations at locations close to a spherical source membrane, and use it to obtain the light cone Lagrangian of a spherical probe membrane very close to the source, i.e., with their separation much smaller than their radii. On the gauge theory side, using the BMN matrix model, we compute the one-loop effective potential between two membrane fuzzy spheres. Perfect agreement is found between the two sides. Moreover, the one-loop effective potential we obtain on the gauge theory side is valid beyond the small-separation approximation, giving the full interpolation between interactions of membrane-like objects and that of graviton-like objects.

title: The European energy infrastructure package and its implications for the environmental impact assessment regime : the case of Austria
Creators: name: Aumann, Michaela
Publisher: name: TU Wien
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Energy Infrastructure Package
subject: projects of common interest
subject: environmental impact assessment

description: The European Strategy 2020 aims for high goals for European energy consumption, efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. At the same time, energy networks essential to achieving these targets are unfit for the challenge and outdated. In order to tackle this problem, the European Union has issued the Energy Infrastructure Package to identify priority corridors and areas for network improvement and enable project developers to realise projects within that frame that encounter difficulties. One source of such difficulties is often the mandatory environmental impact assessment such networks projects have to undergo. Therefore, the Energy Infrastructure Package (EIP) introduces a number of changes and adjustments of the assessment for these projects. This paper examines both the environmental impact assessment regime in Austria and the Energy Infrastructure Package and outlines the relationship between the two instruments. Moreover, consequences for project developers as well as the public are analysed in a comparison of the different regimes. One of the significant findings emerging from this research is that the EIP offers considerable benefits to both project developers and the public. While developers profit from shorter permit granting procedures and financial assistance, the public enjoys more rights regarding transparency and early involvement in the project planning. On the other hand, additional requirements in time scheduling increase the administrative burden on project developers. In general, thus, the EIP brings advantages as well as drawbacks and only the actual application by developers and authorities will show the real value of the package-s introduction.

description: In the present note, the authors comment on “Some structural Aspects of the Southern Problem: The Complementarity of Emigration and Industrialisation” by Vera Lutz. It is argued that Lutz’ analysis of the “structural” obstacles to the development of the Italian Mezzogiorno and the policy conclusions deriving from it rest on some rather peculiar theoretical hypotheses and on some fundamental factual assumptions which are not substantiated. The authors examine such hypotheses and consider the available data, suggesting that Lutz’ argument is in need of reformulation and that her conclusions are faulty. JEL: O14, O52

description: This brief reply addresses Ackley and Spaventa’s criticisms of the author’s article “Some structural Aspects of the Southern Problem: The Complementarity of Emigration and Industrialisation”. The author seeks to both clarify her initial argument and rebut the specific points raised by Ackley and Spaventa. It is argued that while there may be different evaluations regarding future development prospects in Italy, the speed at which the Northern industries are expanding the country’s exports and at the same time providing employment for Southern workers makes speculation about vaguer prospects appear quixotic.

description: The measured pseudorapidity distributions of primary charged particles over a wide pseudorapidity range of |eta| < 5.4 and integrated charged particle multiplicities in d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV are presented as a function of collision centrality. The longitudinal features of d+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV are found to be very similar to those seen in p + A collisions at lower energies. The total multiplicity of charged particles is found to scale with the total number of participants according to N^{dAu}_{ch} = 1/2 N^{pp}_{ch} and the energy dependence of the density of charged particles produced in the fragmentation region exhibits extensive longitudinal scaling.

description: With in the extended thermodynamics, we study the efficiency $η_k$ of critical heat engines for charged black holes in massive gravity for spherical ($k=1$), flat ($k=0$) and hyperbolic ($k=-1$) topologies. Although, $η_k$ is in general higher (lower) for hyperbolic (spherical) topology, we show that this order can be reversed in critical heat engines with efficiency higher for spherical topology, following in particular the order: $ η_{\rm -1}^{\phantom{-1}} < η_{\rm 0}^{\phantom{0}} < η_{\rm +1}^{\phantom{+1}}$. Furthermore, the study of the near horizon region of the critical hole shows that, apart from the known $q\rightarrow \infty $ condition, additional scalings of massive gravity parameters, based on the topology of the geometry are required, to reveal the presence of a fully decoupled Rindler space-time with vanishing cosmological constant.

title: The production of prosodic focus and contour in dialogue
Creators: name: Youd, Nicholas John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1993

description: Computer programs designed to converse with humans in natural language provide a framework against which to test supra-sentential theories of language production and interpretation. This thesis seeks to flesh out, in terms of a computer model, two basic assumptions concerning prosody-that speakers use intonation to convey intention, or attitude, and that prosodic prominence serves to convey conceptual prommence.

 A model of an information-providing agent in is proposed, based on an analysis of a corpus of spontaneous dialogues. This uses an architecture of communicating processes, which perform interpretation, application-specific planning, repair, and the production of output. Dialogue acts are then defined as feature bundles corresponding to significant events. A corpus of read dialogues is analysed in terms of these features, and using conventional intonational labelling. Correlations between the two are examined.

 Prosodic prominence is examined at three levels. At the level of surface encoding, re-use of substrings and structural parallelism can reduce processing for the speaker, and the listener. At the level of conceptual planning, similar benefits exist, given that speakers and listeners assume a common discourse model wherever possible. At these levels use is made of a short-term buffer of recent forms. A speaker may additionally use contrastive prominence to draw the listener's attention to disparities. Finally, at the level of intentions, a speaker wish to highlight certain information, regardless of accessibility.

 Prosodic focus is represented relationally, rather than via a simple binary-valued feature. This has the advantage of facilitating the mapping between levels; it also renders straightforward the notion of focus as the product of a number of potentially conflicting influences.

 Those parts of the theory concerned with discourse representation, language generation, and prosodic focus have been implemented as part of the Sundial dialogue system. In this system, discoursal and pragmatic decisions affecting prosody are converted to annotations on a text string, for realisation by a rule-based synthesizer.
Parenting children with cochlear implants : challenges, stress, coping, and processes
Creators: name: Zaidman-Zait, Anat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The central goal of the current dissertation was to expand the research on the experiences of parents of children with cochlear implants (CIs). To accomplish this goal, three studies were conducted: The first study explored everyday problems associated with parenting children who undergo cochlear implantation; to investigate parents' interpersonal relationships as a resource for collaborative problem solving; and to examine links between parents' everyday problems, stress, and life satisfaction. Thirty-one parents of children with CIs responded to open-ended questions regarding the types of everyday problems they encountered in parenting their child, and also rated their stress and life satisfaction. Problems were categorized into nine domains: implant drawbacks, communication difficulties, child's behavior, child's social competence, rehabilitation demands and parenting role, financial difficulties, services, educating others/advocacy, and academic concerns. Professionals, spouses, and other parents of deaf children were frequently nominated partners for collaborative problem solving and coping. Significant correlations emerged among parents' everyday problems, stress, and life satisfaction. The second study described and categorized the attributes that parents of young children with CIs consider as facilitating their parental coping experience. Fifteen hearing mothers and thirteen hearing fathers whose children had CIs were interviewed, using the critical incident technique. A total of 430 critical incidents were documented and sorted into 20 categories. Results indicated various sources of influence on parents' coping experience, associated with social contextual aspects, with the parent himself or herself, and with the child. The third study examined the complexity of parenting children who have received CIs as well as parents' involvement in the CI rehabilitation process. Action theory and its related qualitative action-project method were used in this study. Two cases were used to describe the individual and joint actions and projects, as related to the promotion of children's outcomes post-cochlear implantation that mothers engage in with their young children. Potentially illuminative implications were drawn for the 'current thinking' in relationship to parenting children with cochlear implants. Finally, four overarching themes emerging from the findings of the three studies were identified and described. These themes were discussed in terms of implications for practice and future research.

description: The Commission on Money and Credit was established in 1958 to study the financial and monetary structure of the United States for the purpose of determining whether it adequately serves its major economic objectives. In the course of its investigations, it examined the activities and policies of the Federal Reserve System, the fiscal and debt management policies of the Treasury, the work of private and federal credit institutions and the important problems involved in the coordination of monetary, credit and fiscal action. The present article provides an in-depth analysis of the report and its policy proposals. The author argues that the report suffers from a lack of a unifying theme with no specific task, and is generally superficial. Moreover, the Commission’s prescriptions would intensify cyclical swings instead of mitigating them and would destroy the Federal Reserve System as an effective instrument of monetary and credit policy.

description: We present the results of the calculation of QCD corrections to the matching conditions for the Wilson coefficients of operators mediating the transition b->s l^+l^- in the context of the MSSM. Within a scenario with decoupled heavy gluino the calculated contributions together with those present already in the literature allow for the first time a complete NNLO analysis of B->X_s l^+l^-. We study the impact of the QCD corrections and the reduction of renormalization scale dependencies for the dilepton invariant mass distribution and the forward-backward asymmetry in the inclusive decay B->X_s l^+l^- restricting the analysis to the "low-s" region and small values of tan(beta). The NNLO calculation allows to decrease the theoretical uncertainties related to the renormalization scale dependence below the size of supersymmetric effects in B->X_s l^+l^- depending on their magnitude. While it will be difficult to distinguish the MSSM expectations for the branching ratio from the Standard Model ones, this can become possible in the dilepton invariant mass distribution depending on the MSSM parameters and \hat{s}. In this respect the position of the zero of the forward-backward asymmetry s_0 is even more promising.

description: After a long debate between political bodies of the EU, the final decision about the shape of the CAP in the next programming period has been made. The initial proposal of the European Commission was very ambitious yet, after the announcement of its final version, there is a common belief that green requirements have been watered down. This paper presents the results of impact analysis based on the most recent proposition of the CAP reform with a special focus on “greening” of direct payments. It evaluates changes in economic results of the Polish farms in the perspective of the year 2019. For the analyses, the authors proposed an original farm typology using data taken from 10,890 farms from the FADN sample in 2011. Farm optimisation model with PMP technique was applied to estimate potential effects of the reform for 218 types of the Polish farms. Farm model results were up-scaled to the country level. Results show that the majority of the Polish farms already complies with the new requirements. Adjustment of remaining farms to the new requirements will have a negligible impact on income generated by the Polish farm sector.

description: Resolution level and reconstruction quality in nano-computed tomography (nano-CT) are in part limited by the stability of microscopes, because the magnitude of mechanical vibrations during scanning becomes comparable to the imaging resolution, and the ability of the samples to resist beam damage during data acquisition. In such cases, there is no incentive in recovering the sample state at different time steps like in time-resolved reconstruction methods, but instead the goal is to retrieve a single reconstruction at the highest possible spatial resolution and without any imaging artifacts. Here we propose a joint solver for imaging samples at the nanoscale with projection alignment, unwarping and regularization. Projection data consistency is regulated by dense optical flow estimated by Farneback's algorithm, leading to sharp sample reconstructions with less artifacts. Synthetic data tests show robustness of the method to Poisson and low-frequency background noise. Applicability of the method is demonstrated on two large-scale nano-imaging experimental data sets.
title: Ecology of the tawny owl Strix aluco in the spruce forests of Northumberland and Argyll
Creators: name: Petty, Stephen John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1993

description: The ecology of the tawny owl was studied in the man-made spruce forests of Kielder, Northumberland (1980-91) and Glenbranter, Argyll (1984-91). Kielder was drier, colder and less mountainous than Glenbranter. Field voles were the main food of tawny owls in both forests. Vole populations exhibited a three-year cycle of abundance in Kielder but showed less variability and were generally less plentiful in Glenbranter. Tawny owls obtained most of their voles from clear-felled areas but used older growth stages in the forest for roosting and nesting. Owl territories were regularly distributed along valleys, with density declining at higher elevations. The numbers of territories increased during the study, probably due to clear-felling which resulted in more food. All aspects of reproduction were significantly related to vole abundance. In Glenbranter compared to Kielder, tawny owls bred at a lower density, territories had a higher occupancy rate with less variation in the proportion of pairs breeding, and on average fewer chicks fledged per pair. In Kielder, most tawny owls failed to breed every third year when vole numbers were low. Without the demands of a family, both male and female owls replaced many more wing feathers than in years when chicks were reared. Population turnover was investigated in Kielder. Here tawny owls showed a high degree of fidelity to their territories and had a high annual survival (84-85%). The median natal dispersal distance was 3.05 km for both males and females, with 30% settling to breed no more than two territories from where they were reared, although none bred in its natal territory. About 80% of chicks recruited into the breeding population were reared in years when vole populations were increasing. There were unoccupied territories in every year studied, and recruitment into the breeding population was the main factor limiting the growth of the population to 4.5% per annum.

description: Scattered agrarian structure remains a weakness of the Polish agriculture. According to the data from the Central Statistical Office, Agricultural Census 2010, the number of agricultural holdings decreased by approx. one-fifth in the last eight years. The aim of this paper is to define the role of market land transfers in the process of changes in farm area structure. The analysis covered factors influencing supply and demand situation on the land market, in particular the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy and the direct payments. The tendencies in non-market family land transfer were also presented. In this context, the paper describes the trends in changes in the agrarian structure observed in 2000-2011.
Parents' perspectives : the role of parents in the education of their children
Creators: name: Amaral, Deborah Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this study, the behaviours, processes and self-perceptions of parents, in relation to their children's education across time, are examined. The study's primary purpose was to generate a theoretical model that describes parents' involvement in their children's education. Participants in the study included 15 parents of children in grade 10. Qualitative grounded theory techniques were used to investigate how parents are involved in their children's education. Data collection included one-to-one semi-structured interviews, diary entries, written responses from the participants, to the researcher's summary of the participants' responses, and field notes during interviews. All data were coded, categorized and analyzed using a constant comparative method. The researcher maintained an audit trail documenting the data analysis and the theory building. A peer auditor reviewed the data, the analysis process, and the product of the study. Findings resulted in a two-dimensional, visual representation of parent involvement in children's education, illustrating the primary processes of parent involvement behaviour. At the core of the model is the process of parents relating to their children. Surrounding this core category are the processes describing parent-involvement behaviours of planning, shaping, fostering and supporting their children's education. The parents' constructions and reconstructions of their roles and involvement in their children's education emerged as an indirect process of parent-involvement behaviours. Findings indicate that parent involvement in children's education is active, responsive and strategic, and that the involvement of parents in their children's education is developmental, changing as children grow. Implications of the findings for educators and school psychologists suggest efforts to involve parents need to be grounded in the knowledge that parents hold strong and deep beliefs that they are instrumental in their children's education and that children's education includes more than school learning.

description: The paper presents market-based mechanisms underlying changes in pig prices and pig meat producers’ income in Poland. The pig prices are determined by supply and demand equilibrium. Farmers are price takers and market price is a parameter which enables them to make economic calculation and verify their individual effectiveness. This paper comprises also an empirical analysis of the factors affecting pig prices developments in 1997-2012. The analysis based on VAR models indicates that pig prices in Poland are determined mostly by the situation on foreign markets. In the long term, only around 30% of pig prices’ vari-ation in Poland depends on national conditions. The Granger causality tests proved that changes in the prices of pork in the marketing chain occur according to a pattern typical of a competitive market – the direction of price signals comes from producer prices towards consumer prices. The farmers margins in pork meat marketing chain have not changed over the analysed period – they fluctuated cyclically and seasonally around the level of 37%. The collapse of pork production in Poland since 2008 has been caused mainly by structural reasons. Pig production in Poland is very fragmented in comparison with the other EU countries thus small economy of scale is reflected in farmers’ low incomes. High cost of production per unit leads to deterioration of the price relationships between foreign and do-mestic prices and lowers demand for domestic pork.

description: After the accession, as compared to the pre-accession period, the Polish agriculture witnessed a growth in the volume of products manufactured with the resources spent under intermediate consumption. Diffusion of innovations and progress related to it were among the significant reasons for the productivity growth. The phenomenon of growth in the volume of products produced with the resources spent under intermediate consumption overlapped with the effects of the accession, which brought, inter alia, a considerable increase in subsidies. This was the most important factor of improvement of the competitiveness of the Polish agriculture. If before 2004 only about 25,000 farms showed any features pointing to competitive capacity, in 2007 there were already 290,000-300,000 farms of natural and legal persons, which demonstrated competitive capacity or any prospects to achieve it. It is estimated that they produce 50-60% of the national value of agricultural production. The impact of innovations on the progress taking place in the Polish agriculture could have been greater if there had been less farms failing to implement innovations. These were mainly smaller farms, but this group also included about 1/3 of farms with an area of 8 or more ESU.

description: Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit sind mutismushemmende und mustismusaufrechterhaltende Faktoren im Schulalltag. Anhand von autobiografischen Erzählungen ehemals mutistischer Menschen sollen diese Faktoren herausgearbeitet, kontextualisiert und analysiert werden. Methodisch wird mit einem qualitativen Forschungsansatz gearbeitet. Die Datenerhebung erfolgt mit Leitfadeninterviews. Die eruierten mutismushemmenden Faktoren lassen sich unter dem Konzept der Achtsamkeit im Sinne von Akzeptanz, gelebter Empathie, Ermöglichen von Partizipation und dem Erkennen von Ressourcen zusammenfassen. Mutismusaufrechterhaltende Faktoren sind Unwissenheit über die Thematik, Druckausüben auf die Praktik des Schweigens, Schonen / Überbehütung, normierte Rollenzuschreibungen und Identität.

description: The study applies the approach of transaction cost theory to analyse the nature of equity capital. Empirical tests were conducted among agricultural entrepreneurs, followed by the construction of binary models, in order to verify the research hypothesis that cost of equity capital is zero. The practitioners in this field do not share a common view on the need to estimate the cost and the level of equity capital. It has been concluded that the cost of equity capital should be approached as a transaction cost stemming from the rarity of the benefit of the equity capital and as a more efficiently used resource, involving, as a consequence, the application of the original function of ownership rights.

description: When Einstein formulated his special relativity, he developed his dynamics for point particles. Of course, many valiant efforts have been made to extend his relativity to rigid bodies, but this subject is forgotten in history. This is largely because of the emergence of quantum mechanics with wave-particle duality. Instead of Lorentz-boosting rigid bodies, we now boost waves and have to deal with Lorentz transformations of waves. We now have some understanding of plane waves or running waves in the covariant picture, but we do not yet have a clear picture of standing waves. In this report, we show that there is one set of standing waves which can be Lorentz-transformed while being consistent with all physical principle of quantum mechanics and relativity. It is possible to construct a representation of the Poincaré group using harmonic oscillator wave functions satisfying space-time boundary conditions. This set of wave functions is capable of explaining the quantum bound state for both slow and fast hadrons. In particular it can explain the quark model for hadrons at rest, and Feynman's parton model hadrons moving with a speed close to that of light.

title: An application of formal semantics to student modelling : an investigation in the domain of teaching Prolog
Creators: name: Fung, Pat
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1989

description: This thesis reports on research undertaken in an exploration of the use of formal semantics for student modelling in intelligent tutoring systems. The domain chosen was that of tutoring programming languages and within that domain Prolog was selected to be the target language for this exploration. The problem considered is one of how to analyse students' errors at a level which allows diagnosis to be more flexible and meaningful than is possible with the 'mal-rules' and 'bugcatalogue' approach of existing systems. The ideas put forward by Robin Milner [1980] in his Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) form the basis of the formalism which is proposed as a solution to this problem. Based on the findings of an empirical investigation, novices' misconceptions of control flow in Prolog was defined as a suitable area in which to explore the application of this solution. A selection of Prolog programs used in that investigation was formally described in terms of CCS. These formal descriptions were used by a production rule system to generate a number of the incomplete or faulty models of Prolog execution which were identified in the first empirical study. In a second empirical study, a machine-analysis tool, designed to be part of a diagnostic tutoring module, used these models to diagnose students' misconceptions of Prolog control flow. This initial application of CCS to student modelling showed that the models of Prolog execution generated by the system could be used successfully to detect students' misunderstandings. Results from the research reported here indicate that the use of formal semantics to model programming languages has a useful contribution to make to the task of student modelling.

description: We present a new moving group clustered in kinematics, spatial position and elemental abundances. Its spatial position is around the center of the Local Arm of the Milky Way. A convergent point method was taken to select candidate member stars.\textbf{ Among 206 candidate member stars, 74 are pre-main-sequence stars and some of them have stellar disks.} We presume those pre-main sequence stars belong to Orion nebula. We suggest this moving group is caused by density wave of the Local Arm passing by.

description: A (normal) variety is Gorenstein if it is Cohen-Macualay and its canonical sheaf is a line bundle. This property, which measures the ``pathology'' of the singularities of a variety, is thus stronger than Cohen-Macualayness, but is also weaker than smoothness. We determine which Schubert varieties are Gorenstein in terms of a combinatorial characterization using generalized pattern avoidance conditions. We also give an explicit description as a line bundle of the canonical sheaf of a Gorenstein Schubert variety.

description: In the five years since the British crisis of 1957, many interesting monetary developments have taken place, including the adoption of a conscious and positive policy in relation to long-term rates of interest. The present article is devoted to this development and of a rate-of-interest policy. The author first discusses the circumstances leading to the Bank of England’s change of front in the bond market in 1958. This is followed by a discussion of the actual developments and of the circumstances that made the market peculiarly ready to follow an official lead. Finally, there is consideration whether the authorities should try to guide the bond rate to a different level. JEL: E42, E58, G12
