description: This study presents a new approach to the optimal hedging decision. In some empirical studies, the standard hedge using the mean-variance hedge ratio provides results which are inconsistent with downside risk management. The new approach taken here relates the optimal hedge ratio to semivariance rather than variance. An algorithm to solve for the minimum semivariance hedge is presented, and applied to hedging Kansas City wheat and Texas steers.
Heat flow through earth dams : a dam performance monitoring tool
Creators: name: Esford, Fiona Colleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Reservoirs located in temperate climates undergo seasonal temperature fluctuations, warm in the summer and cold in the winter. As a result, the temperature of the water seeping through embankment varies with the season. Heat from the reservoir propagates through dams by two main processes: convection and conduction. The variation in seepage water temperature can be used as a tracer to detect and monitor seepage flow through dams. Temperature measurements from the saturated zone of dams have been collected and qualitative and simplified quantitative methods of data analysis have been used to detect relative changes in the seepage regime. This thesis used two dimensional, uncoupled (fluid and heat flows) numerical models to simulate heat flow through dams and determine seepage velocities. The numerical programs used in this thesis were SEEP/W and a modification of CTRAN/W, produced by GEO SLOPE International Inc. of Calgary. The programs were run in succession, beginning with SEEP/W. The analytical method was first tested by comparing results to a closed form solution simulating one dimensional flow (heat and water) through a homogenous material. Secondly the numerical method was applied to analyse heat flow through a field scale model dam in Germany, followed by an analysis of BC Hydro's Coquitlam Dam. The numerical method was successful in simulating one dimensional flow. The method was also capable of simulating fluid and heat flow through the field scale dam, which had a simple stratigraphy. However, the hydraulic conditions at Coquitlam Dam are more complex and a two dimensional model was not able to account for the flow variations at this dam. A three dimensional model appears necessary to accurately simulate the fluid and heat flow conditions of Coquitlam Dam. Temperature data collected from Coquitlam Dam was qualitatively assessed. No obvious signs of preferential seepage paths were detected. Although the numerical models used in this thesis were shown to effectively model fluid and heat flow, the three step process required to use these modelling programs became cumbersome for more complicated flow conditions. It is recommended that an integrated program be utilized to analyse complex systems, such as Coquitlam Dam.

description: Type Ia supernovae have played a crucial role in the discovery of the dark energy, via the measurement of their light curves and the determination of the peak brightness via fitting templates to the observed lightcurve shape. Two spectroscopic indicators are also known to be well correlated with peak luminosity. Since the spectroscopic luminosity indicators are obtained directly from observed spectra, they will have different systematic errors than do measurements using photometry. Additionally, these spectroscopic indicators may be useful for studies of effects of evolution or age of the SNe Ia progenitor population. We present several new variants of such spectroscopic indicators which are easy to automate and which minimize the effects of noise. We show that these spectroscopic indicators can be measured by proposed JDEM missions such as SNAP and JEDI.

description: We apply the envelope function approach to abrupt heterostructures starting with the least action principle for the microscopic wave function. The interface is treated nonperturbatively, and our approach is applicable to mismatched heterostructure. We obtain the interface connection rules for the multiband envelope function and the short-range interface terms which consist of two physically distinct contributions. The first one depends only on the structure of the interface, and the second one is completely determined by the bulk parameters. We discover new structure inversion asymmetry terms and new magnetic energy terms important in spintronic applications.

description: While most Corn Belt farmers consider planting Bt corn to control European corn borer, southwestern Kansas farmers must also take into account an array of other insect pests, including corn rootworm, spider mites, and southwestern corn borer. This research uses a decision analysis framework to estimate the expected economic value of Bt corn in southwest Kansas. Mean per acre Bt values ranged from $12.49 to $34.60, well above the technology fee assumed to be $14 per unit, or $5.25 per acre at a seeding rate of 30,000 seeds per acre. The minimum value over all scenarios was $8.69 per acre. Using Monte Carlo simulation, it was shown that European and southwestern corn borer infestation probabilities, expected corn price, and expected pest-free yields are important determinants of the value of Bt corn.

A. Anker, 31.07.2018 [fcn 18-055].
 Remarks. Salmoneus camaroncito was hitherto known only from the material listed in Anker’s (2010a) original description of the species, viz. Panama (Isla Grande and San Blas Islands) and Honduras (Utila), and is herewith recorded for the first time from Mexico (Cozumel), slightly expanding its previously known range northwards. The Mexican specimen generally corresponds well to the specimens of S. camaroncito in Anker (2010a), except for the noticeably more developed minor cheliped, which in the length and robustness is only slightly inferior to the major cheliped (Fig. 5). Consequently, the minor chela of the Mexican specimen is comparatively larger and stouter than that of the holotype (cf. Anker 2010a: fig. 6d, e) or the Isla Grande specimen, and has a stronger dentition (i.e. larger teeth) on the finger cutting edges. This size and armature difference is explainable by the fact that the specimen from Cozumel at cl 3.3 mm is somewhat larger in size than the original specimens from Panama and Honduras, at cl 2.4–2.5 mm, or the Isla Grande specimen, at cl 2.8 mm.

Wolf-Rayet Mass-Loss Limits Due to Frequency Redistribution

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The hypothesis that CAK-type line driving is responsible for the large observed Wolf-Rayet (W-R) mass-loss rates has been called into question in recent theoretical studies. The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the plausibility of line driving of W-R winds within the standard approach using the Sobolev approximation while advancing the conceptual understanding of this topic. Due to the multiple scattering required in this context, of particular importance is the role of photon frequency redistribution into spectral gaps, which in the extreme limit yields the statistical Sobolev-Rosseland (SSR) mean approximation. Interesting limits to constrain are the extremes of no frequency redistribution, wherein the small radii and corresponding high W-R surface temperature induces up to twice the mass-loss rate relative to cooler stars, and the SSR limit, whereby the reduced efficiency of the driving drops the mass flux by as much as an order of magnitude whenever there exist significant gaps in the spectral line distribution. To see how this efficiency drop might be sufficiently avoided to permit high W-R mass loss, we explore the suggestion that ionization stratification may serve to fill the gaps globally over the wind. We find that global ionization changes can only fill the gaps sufficiently to cause about a 25% increase in the mass-loss rate over the local SSR limit. Higher temperatures and more ionization states (especially of iron) may be needed to achieve optically thick W-R winds, unless strong clumping corrections eliminate the need for such winds.

description: The introduction of genetically modified grain and oilseed products at the farm level and resistance for these products by consumer groups have led to segmentation in grain markets. This study explores the implications for market price behavior for a segregated soybean market for genetically modified (GM) and non-GM varieties. A stochastic dynamic simulation model of production and storage is solved, and Monte Carlo simulation procedures are used to examine price behavior between GM and non-GM soybeans. The results suggest important differences in price behavior between GM and non-GM soybeans. The results obtained in the model simulations are compared with evidence from the Tokyo Grain Exchange, where non-GM and GM soybean futures contracts have traded simultaneously since May 2000. The evidence from the Tokyo Grain Exchange contracts is largely consistent with the results of the simulation model. Price correlations between the Tokyo Grain Exchange non-GM and GM soybean contracts tended to be similar in magnitude to those found in the simulations.

description: Suppose a farmer had to apply a herbicide pre-emergence or not at all. The advent of a herbicide-tolerance trait innovation then provides the option to wait for more information before making a state-contingent post-emergence application. This option to wait can increase or decrease average herbicide use. For heterogeneous acre types, trait royalties increase with the level of uncertainty about the extent of weed damage. Royalties are largest when acre infestation susceptibility types are bunched around the type indifferent to applying the herbicide in the absence of the trait. The trait complements (substitutes for) information technologies that facilitate informed post-emergence (pre-emergence) decisions.
Calibrated Single-Contact Voltage Sensor for High-Voltage Monitoring Applications

description: A single-contact voltage sensor designed for accurate measurements of ac voltages across a pair of conductors is described. The sensor design is motivated by remote monitoring applications where accurate voltage measurement of high-voltage transmission lines is required. The body of the sensor is electrically and mechanically attached to a single conductor: either the neutral or high-voltage conductor. A capacitive sensing plate attached to the sensor creates a capacitive voltage divider using the stray capacitance to the non-contacted line. A very high-impedance buffer is used to measure the voltage across the divider output and estimate the line voltage. An important part of the work includes a method of calibrating the sensor such that blind voltage measurements can be made without knowing the exact geometry of the conductors. Other important aspects of the design include a two-stage voltage divider for retaining accuracy and increasing the voltage range of the sensor. The work is supported by extensive numerical simulation models which were used to determine the optimum design for the sensing plate and to evaluate the sensitivity to different configurations including conductor spacing and the height above ground. For calibration values which are accurate to 1%, the line voltage can be measured with an accuracy of 10%. The paper describes the theory, design, and experimental verification of the sensor up to a line voltage of 7.5 kVrms.

description: There are 509 expanding neutral hydrogen shells catalogued in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), all apparently very young, with dynamical ages of a few Myr. To examine their relationship with young stellar objects we cross-correlated the shell catalogue with various catalogues of OB associations, super giants, Cepheids, WR stars, supernova remnants, and star clusters. The incidence of chance line-ups was estimated via Monte-Carlo simulations, and found to be high. However, it is important that there are 1.5 times more shells that are {\em not} spatially correlated to an OB association, than shells that are. Moreover, 59 of the 509 shells lie mainly in low stellar density fields and have no young stellar objects associated with them, and therefore no obvious energy source. It is shown that, on the whole, the properties of these "empty" shells are very similar to the properties of the rest of the shells, once selection biases are taken into account. Theoretical implications of the results are discussed.

description: Timely adoption of new varieties is critical to profitable peach production, and peach quality is a primary factor driving adoption. An adoption model for peach varieties is estimated, incorporating grower evaluations of peach quality. The model identifies the impact of farm characteristics such as the farmer's quality preferences, on-farm agronomic and orchard conditions, as well as geographic effects in Georgia peach-growing regions. The relative impact of the key external and internal peach quality attributes on adoption is assessed. Decisions on new varieties are influenced by the age distribution of the orchard, information which can be used in targeting new varieties to growers.

description: This paper challenges the hypothesis that negative yield effects in key temperate grain producing regions of the world resulting from global climate change would have a serious impact on world food production. Model results demonstrate that even with concurrent productivity losses in the major grain producing regions of the world, global warming will not seriously disrupt world agricultural markets. Country/regional crop yield changes induce interregional adjustments in production and consumption that serve to buffer the severity of climate change impacts on world agriculture and result in relatively modest impacts on world agricultural prices and domestic economies.
Complex response and polariton-like dispersion splitting in periodic metal nanoparticle chains

description: We show that guiding of optical signals in chains of metal nanoparticles is subject to a surprisingly complex dispersion relation. Retardation causes the dispersion relation to split in two anticrossing branches, as common for polaritons. While huge radiation losses occur above the light line, just below the light line the micron-sized loss lengths are much longer than expected. The anticrossing allows to create highly localized energy distributions in finite arrays that can be tuned via the illumination wavelength. Our results apply to all linear chains of coupled resonant scatterers.

description: The Universe was nearly smooth and homogeneous before a redshift of z = 100, about 20 million years after the Big Bang. After this epoch, the tiny fluctuations imprinted upon the matter distribution during the initial expansion began to collapse because of gravity. The properties of these fluctuations depend on the unknown nature of dark matter, the determination of which is one of the biggest challenges in present-day science. Here we report supercomputer simulations of the concordance cosmological model, which assumes neutralino dark matter (at present the preferred candidate), and find that the first objects to form are numerous Earth-mass dark-matter haloes about as large as the Solar System. They are stable against gravitational disruption, even within the central regions of the Milky Way. We expect over 10^15 to survive within the Galactic halo, with one passing through the Solar System every few thousand years. The nearest structures should be among the brightest sources of gamma-rays (from particle-particle annihilation).

description: Laboratory experimentation was used to assess the impacts of information disclosure in imperfect markets. A dual oligopoly market structure was designed with contract information disclosed to subjects under three treatments: no, partial, and full disclosure. Regression analysis revealed some increase in selling price with full information disclosure, but no discernable effects on negotiated prices with partial disclosure. Alternative specifications showed large traders earning significantly lower profits, and information on large traders significantly beneficial to both buyers and sellers. Probit analysis of information selection determinants revealed no significant economic content in trader requests for information under partial disclosure.

description: We consider a $μ$-deformation of the Segal-Bargmann transform, which is a unitary map from a $μ$-deformed quantum configuration space onto a $μ$-deformed quantum phase space (the $μ$-deformed Segal-Bargmann space). Both of these Hilbert spaces have canonical orthonormal bases. We obtain explicit formulas for the Shannon entropy of some of the elements of these bases. We also consider two reverse log-Sobolev inequalities in the $μ$-deformed Segal-Bargmann space, which have been proved in a previous work, and show that a certain known coefficient in them is the best possible.

description: A conceptual model of grocery coupon usage is developed and maximum likelihood estimates of a Tobit model are used to assess the influence of several economic and demographic variables on consumers' use of grocery coupons. Specific factors considered include income, age, household size, race, education, shopping practices, and size and composition of grocery transactions. The analysis includes a combination of scanner and survey data collected from 1,047 consumers. Results confirm strong effects for household size, race, shopping practices, and size and composition of grocery transactions.

description: A summary of some lines of ideas leading to model-independent frameworks of relativistic quantum field theory is given. It is followed by a discussion of the Reeh-Schlieder theorem and geometric modular action of Tomita-Takesaki modular objects associated with the quantum field vacuum state and certain algebras of observables. The distillability concept, which is significant in specifying useful entanglement in quantum information theory, is discussed within the setting of general relativistic quantum field theory.

description: Using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering we show that a cubic spinel, CdCr$_2$O$_4$, undergoes an elongation along the c-axis ($c > a = b$) at its spin-Peierls-like phase transition at $T_N$ = 7.8 K. The Néel phase ($T < T_N$) has an incommesurate spin structure with a characteristic wave vector \textbf{Q}$_M$ = (0,$δ$,1) with $δ\sim$ 0.09 and with spins lying on the $ac$-plane. This is in stark contrast to another well-known Cr-based spinel, ZnCr$_2$O$_4$, that undergoes a c-axis contraction and a commensurate spin order. The magnetic excitations of the incommensurate Néel state has a weak anisotropy gap of 0.6 meV and it consists of at least three bands extending up to 5 meV.

Disturbance in the forest of Morristown National Historical Park: influence of gap size on tree regeneration
Creators: name: Epiphan, Jean N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Disturbance gaps in forests stimulate tree regeneration, maintain biodiversity, and promote forest heterogeneity. In urbanized regions, long term forest sustainability is threatened by many ecological stressors, such as high deer pressure and invasive plant spread, which can affect regeneration capabilities in disturbance gaps. This study tested whether forest gaps promoted tree regeneration in comparison to the adjacent intact forests and if gap size was an influential factor in regeneration. This study was conducted across 54 natural disturbance gaps of different sizes in a 590-ha forest tract within an urbanized region in Northern New Jersey. In each gap area, advanced regeneration data and species cover were collected in the understory stratum across three gap locations (gap center, gap edge, and adjacent forest). Results showed that advanced regeneration was greater in adjacent forest than in gap centers. Small Fraxinus spp. seedling numbers accounted for the difference among locations; when Fraxinus spp. were excluded there was no significance difference among locations. Gap size had no effect on advance regeneration. Overall, mean stocking index were severely deficient and mainly due to excessive deer pressure; numbers of large seedlings and saplings were severely low while numbers of all smaller seedlings were sufficiently stocked. In addition, invasive plants dominated the understory and stepwise multiple regressions showed that introduced shrubs and the introduced grass, Microstegium vimineum, displaced native tree regeneration. The only tree species that showed successful regeneration in gap centers was the introduced Robinia pseudoacacia which also had the greatest sapling numbers of all tree species. Without intervention, natural disturbance gaps in this stressed forest tract will fail to promote native tree regeneration, allow R. pseudoacacia to dominate, and change the future composition and structure of the forest. This study serves an example for the many forest tracts that bear similar ecological burdens. Intensive deer control and invasive plant management are required to restore natural regeneration processes and the valuable role of disturbance gaps to promote forest sustainability and heterogeneity.

description: This work attempts to contribute to our understanding of the role of the external agent and, in particular, the adult educator, in co-operative development. By focusing on the role of adult education in co-operative movements, we can better understand how education contributes to a change in attitude, to building trust and cohesion in groups, and to encouraging people to work together to make improvements in their economic situations and in their communities. The objective of this work is to describe the role of adult educators and extension agents in the co-operative development process. To accomplish this objective, information is compiled from literature dealing with adult education, co-operative development, economies, and other disciplines, and from primary research presented as a case study. Information for the case study was gathered through study tours, personal and telephone interviews, and from literature describing co-operative development in North Dakota and Minnesota. The results of this research emphasize the importance of the active participation and encouragement of a variety of external agencies. The role of the change agent as co-ordinator and facilitator appears to be a crucial element in fostering collective action. In summary, the role of the adult educator is to: facilitate a change of attitude, co-ordinate the expectation of reciprocal co-operation, assist in identifying common goals and a common vision, expand the frame of reference by providing information in an appropriate manner, and foster and nurture leadership within the constituent group. Adult education programmes involved in co-operative development tend to employ similar methods, such as group learning, community capacity building, individual capacity building, discussion forums, and a broad education in economic, social, and political issues, as well as the more practical elements - literacy, life skills, and general information. The adult education programme does not stand alone. A network of external agencies provides support and services to the programme and to the fledging co-operative. This network focuses on a common goal: to develop policy and resources to support and encourage education and collective action to address social and economic problems.

description: Underrepresented minority (URM) students are subjected to historically rooted inequities when pursuing an education, especially in STEM disciplines with little diversity. In order to make STEM education equitable and inclusive, evidence for how students from different racial/ethnic demographics are faring is necessary. We use 10 years of institutional data at a large public university to investigate trends in the majors that Asian, URM, and White students declare, drop after declaring, and earn degrees in as well as the GPA of the students who drop or earn a degree. We find that higher percentages of the URM students drop most majors compared to other students and these trends are particularly pronounced in physics and economics. Moreover, we find alarming GPA trends in that the URM students consistently earn lower grades than their Asian and White peers. Furthermore, in some STEM disciplines, the URM students who earn a degree are earning the same grades as the Asian and White students who dropped the major. This troubling trend may signify lack of sufficient support, mentoring, and guidance to ensure excellence of the URM students who are already severely disadvantaged. These quantitative findings call for making learning environments equitable and inclusive so that many URM students who come to college with severe disadvantages are appropriately supported and can excel similar to other students.

description: Rochdale, England, is known by millions for one reason: a handful of labourers established a co-operative there in 1844 known as the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers. That co-operative was adopted as the inspiration and model for a movement that now includes nearly 700 million people around the world. As this paper is being written, co-operators around the world are preparing to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its birth. But what did Rochdale mean? Why is it considered so important?
Integrated systems for maintenance management

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The research presented is entitled Integrated System for Maintenance Management. It explores the intersection of two topic areas: Information Technology (IT), which is providing significant improvement to business practices throughout many industries, and Facilities Management (FM), which is dealing primarily with sustainability of capital investments. The research recognizes the fragmentation in the practice of FM, and proposes a framework that aims at being a systematic and generic reference to the practice of maintenance management. The framework served to identify avenues throughout the practice of maintenance management where strategies and procedures could be implemented to improve operations and increase efficiencies. The framework is proposed to standardize business processes description, the activities that need to be undertaken and the methodology of how and what information needs to be communicated between processes. The dissertation focuses on integrating data and knowledge through the development of shared project models that maintain a combination of product and process views of the project. Development of these models followed a methodology similar to that of the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) to develop data standards in the form of Industry Foundation Classes (IFCs). The research, while examining the existing IFCs within the available releases of the IFC model, recommends a set of extensions to the model to be included in future releases. The research explores the implementation of these models through the development of an Asset Management Tool prototype integrated application, as a proof-of-concept for implementing the view of generic asset management in a distributed, model-based, integrated systems architectures environment named Jigsaw Distributed System. An interface for representing the hierarchical breakdown of project information was developed and tested. The Interface enables users to relate multiple kinds and sources of information and initiate data exchanges with other desktop software applications, hence demonstrating software interoperability, which in turn reduces dependency on paper-based views of project information. The resulting contributions to the research have demonstrated that a distributed, model-based approach to systems integration is feasible in the FM domain and that resulting applications hold the promise of exhibiting flexibility and significant integration.
Robustness of a high-resolution central scheme for hydrodynamic simulations in full general relativity

description: A recent paper by Lucas-Serrano et al. indicates that a high-resolution central (HRC) scheme is robust enough to yield accurate hydrodynamical simulations of special relativistic flows in the presence of ultrarelativistic speeds and strong shock waves. In this paper we apply this scheme in full general relativity (involving {\it dynamical} spacetimes), and assess its suitability by performing test simulations for oscillations of rapidly rotating neutron stars and merger of binary neutron stars. It is demonstrated that this HRC scheme can yield results as accurate as those by the so-called high-resolution shock-capturing (HRSC) schemes based upon Riemann solvers. Furthermore, the adopted HRC scheme has increased computational efficiency as it avoids the costly solution of Riemann problems and has practical advantages in the modeling of neutron star spacetimes. Namely, it allows simulations with stiff equations of state by successfully dealing with very low-density unphysical atmospheres. These facts not only suggest that such a HRC scheme may be a desirable tool for hydrodynamical simulations in general relativity, but also open the possibility to perform accurate magnetohydrodynamical simulations in curved dynamic spacetimes.
