description: Clean water is provided to the UBC Point Grey campus by Metro Vancouver through two water mains. The potential for failure of these pipes makes the system vulnerable in the event of an emergency. An alternate water supply that takes advantage of the groundwater in the aquifers below the campus has been designed on the request of the client, UBC SEEDS Sustainability Program. Key issues to consider while developing this design include determining how to most efficiently extract and deliver the water considering the features of the site, as well as determining the necessary water volumes and treatment. Methodology used for developing the detailed design involved implementing current best practices for the desired components while ensuring that the structure will be resilient enough to survive a potential seismic event. The team has prepared this detailed design report to present the detailed specifications and final construction plans for the project. The detailed design process was initiated once feedback was received from the client for the preliminary design report. The design of the project has now been updated and finalized; drawings and management plans are attached to this report. The main components of the detailed design are the eight groundwater wells that will be installed at the north end of campus, as well as the pipes, connections and pumps that need to be constructed to convey the groundwater into the system. The water treatment specifications and the structural designs for the storage and treatment facilities will be done by a sub-consultant, but the preliminary designs and criteria have been specified in this report. Additional considerations include the service life maintenance plan, the environmental impact assessment, permitting processes and the stakeholder engagement plan. Provided the construction starts in May 2021, the project is expected to be completed by November 15th, 2021. A draft construction work plan has been outlined and focuses primarily on ensuring that the construction is safe and efficient. A detailed cost estimate has been conducted and based on that, the project will cost approximately $9.07M, including construction costs and design fees.

description: The present article estimates the extent to which participation in Farm Inputs Subsidy Program (FISP) crowds-out/in fertilizer sales among private sector retailers in Malawi. Malawi implemented FISP reforms during 2015/16 season that allowed certain larger-scale fertilizer distributors to sell FISP fertilizer at their retail outlets in select districts on a pilot basis while smaller-scale agro-dealers were excluded. We use a unique panel dataset of fertilizer retailers collected before and after the policy change to measure supply-side crowding-in/out impacts of the FISP. Using a difference-in-differences estimator we are able to obtain a causal measurement of how the policy change affects fertilizer sales for retailers who participated in the program and those who did not. Results indicate that distributors who sold the FISP fertilizer experienced a 299 Mt increase in the volume of total fertilizer sales, on average. Conversely, agro-dealers who were excluded from participating in the pilot program experienced a 28 Mt decline in their fertilizer sales, on average. This suggests that the reforms have mainly benefited distributors who sell 90% of the fertilizer in Malawi, but caused some harm to the many agro-dealers who sell 10% of Malawi s fertilizer, but also conduct their businesses in more remote areas.

description: This paper presents an analysis of the main determinants for the increase in Brazilian production and exportation of agro-based products from 1990 through 2013. The analysis led to some interesting conclusions. First, Brazil did not follow a predetermined model calibrated for success in the international agricultural and agro-processed markets. Rather, it altered its budget to support market-oriented agricultural policies in a responsive manner that reflected the constraints and opportunities arising in both the domestic and international markets while taking advantage of abundant agricultural land, a favourable climate, and a willingness to invest by farmers and larger agribusiness companies. Second, increasing agricultural production and capacity facilitated increasing exports of both agricultural and agro-processed products. Third, Brazilian exports of agro-based products were increasing before and after the 2002 through 2008 international surge in food prices. Our econometric model revealed that increased Brazilian agricultural and agro-processed food production and overall world GDP growth, rather than international prices, have been the main drivers of Brazilian agricultural and agro-processed exports.

description: The Internet topology at the Autonomous Systems level (AS graph) has a power--law degree distribution and a tier structure. In this paper, we introduce the Interactive Growth (IG) model based on the joint growth of new nodes and new links. This simple and dynamic model compares favorable with other Internet power--law topology generators because it not only closely resembles the degree distribution of the AS graph, but also accurately matches the hierarchical structure, which is measured by the recently reported rich-club phenomenon.

description: Current research on robust trajectory planning for autonomous agents aims to mitigate uncertainties arising from disturbances and modeling errors while ensuring guaranteed safety. Existing methods primarily utilize stochastic optimal control techniques with chance constraints to maintain a minimum distance among agents with a guaranteed probability. However, these approaches face challenges, such as the use of simplifying assumptions that result in linear system models or Gaussian disturbances, which limit their practicality in complex realistic scenarios. To address these limitations, this work introduces a novel probabilistically robust distributed controller enabling autonomous agents to plan safe trajectories, even under non-Gaussian uncertainty and nonlinear systems. Leveraging exact uncertainty propagation techniques based on mixed-trigonometric-polynomial moment propagation, this method transforms non-Gaussian chance constraints into deterministic ones, seamlessly integrating them into a distributed model predictive control framework solvable with standard optimization tools. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique, highlighting its ability to consistently handle various types of uncertainty, ensuring robust and accurate path planning in complex scenarios.

description: Structural phenomena in nuclei, from shell structure and clustering to superfluidity and collective rotations and vibrations, reflect emergent degrees of freedom. Ab initio theory describes nuclei directly from a fully microscopic formulation. We can therefore look to ab initio theory as a means of exploring the emergence of effective degrees of freedom in nuclei. For the illustrative case of emergent rotational bands in the Be isotopes, we establish an understanding of the underlying oscillator space and angular momentum (orbital and spin) structure. We consider no-core configuration interaction (NCCI) calculations for 7,9,11Be with the Daejeon16 internucleon interaction. Although shell model or rotational degrees of freedom are not assumed in the ab initio theory, the NCCI results are suggestive of the emergence of effective shell model degrees of freedom (0 hbar-omega and 2 hbar-omega excitations) and LS-scheme rotational degrees of freedom, consistent with an Elliott-Wilsdon SU(3) description. These results provide some basic insight into the connection between emergent effective collective rotational and shell model degrees of freedom in these light nuclei and the underlying ab initio microscopic description.

description: A spinless nonrelativistic quantum particle on the curved surface of a homogeneous spherocylindrical capsule is considered. We apply Costa's formalism to solve the Schrödinger equation with only a confined potential forcing the particle to remain on the surface and be free to move. It is shown that while a quantum particle with zero tangential/local energy can exist on the surface of a spherical shell with an arbitrary radius, it exists on a spherocylinder capsule only with a quantized length-to-radius ratio. In other words, if and only if the length-to-radius ratio of the capsule is an even multiplication of $π$, the wave function on the surface interferes with itself constructively such that the wave function survives. This hypothetical phenomenon may lead to applications in nanoscale measurements.

description: This paper investigates the effects of the CAP payments on the indirectly generated non-farm jobs in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are central for job creation. It examines whether there are differences in the effect according to business location - rural or urban, the agricultural supply chain, and according to CAP Pillars. A microeconomic approach is employed, based on firm data from FAME dataset combined with detailed subsidies information from DEFRA. The generalised method of moments (system GMM) is used to estimate the effect of CAP payments in both static and dynamic models of employment. The results suggest positive net spillovers of CAP payments to non-farm employment. Although the magnitude of the effect is small, it is economically significant. In general Pillar 1 has a stronger employment effect relative to Pillar 2. However, in the rural areas and within agricultural supply chain, Pillar 2 payments have a stronger positive effect per Euro spent. Acknowledgement :

We examine the solutions and find that although the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism at late times no longer leads to radion stabilization, the radion rolls slowly enough that the scenario is still of interest. In particular, we find a simple example of the string inspired dark matter recently proposed by Gubser and Peebles.

description: The solution of sparse symmetric positive definite linear systems is an important computational kernel in large-scale scientific and engineering modeling and simulation. We will solve the linear systems using a direct method, in which a Cholesky factorization of the coefficient matrix is performed using a right-looking approach and the resulting triangular factors are used to compute the solution. Sparse Cholesky factorization is compute intensive. In this work we investigate techniques for reducing the factorization time in sparse Cholesky factorization by offloading some of the dense matrix operations on a GPU. We will describe the techniques we have considered. We achieved up to 4x speedup compared to the CPU-only version.

description: The expansion of export horticulture in the South has generated new employment opportunities in many rural areas. However, commercial pressures have contributed to the increased use of flexible labour in export horticulture hereby reducing worker s job security. This paper seeks to understand the influence of job insecurity on perceived labour agency in the case of pineapple workers in Costa Rica, a context dominated by migrant labour and weak unionisation. Survey data was collected among 385 pineapple plantation workers in 2016. The results of the multinomial probit models indicated that job insecurity, by using both an objective and subjective proxy, reduced the likelihood of engaging in forthright actions (such as protests, voicing concerns or joining a union), while it increased the likelihood of evasive (such as leaving the job) or repressed actions (such as doing nothing). The analysis complements previous evidence of a preservation mechanism, which means that job insecure workers avoid the risk of losing their job by flying under the radar (preferring evasive and repressed actions to forthright actions). This reflects the constrained voice of job insecure workers and has implications for unions, employers and policymakers who play a role in shaping the potential for labour agency. Acknowledgement : This study was funded by a Special Research Grant of Ghent University. We highly appreciated the willingness of pineapple workers, unions, managers, government officials and other stakeholders to participate in the study. Special thanks go to the local enumerators of Universidad de Costa Rica who helped conducting the surveys and Centro de Estudios para el Desarrollo Rural who facilitated the logistic organisation of the fieldwork.

description: Correctly identifying taxa at the root of major clades or the oldest clade-representatives is critical for meaningful interpretations of evolution. A small, partially crushed skull from the Late Triassic (Norian) of Connecticut, USA, originally described as an indeterminate rhynchocephalian saurian, was recently named Colobops noviportensis and reinterpreted as sister to all remaining Rhynchosauria, one of the earliest and globally distributed groups of herbivorous reptiles. It was also interpreted as having an exceptionally reinforced snout and powerful bite based on an especially large supratemporal fenestra. Here, after a re-analysis of the original scan data, we show that the skull was strongly dorsoventrally compressed postmortem, with most bones out of life position. The cranial anatomy is consistent with that of other rhynchocephalian lepidosauromorphs, not rhynchosaurs. The ‘reinforced snout' region and the ‘exceptionally enlarged temporal region’ are preservational artefacts and not exceptional among clevosaurid rhynchocephalians. Colobops is thus not a key taxon for understanding diapsid feeding apparatus evolution.

description: The wreath product W(r,n) of the cyclic group of order r and the symmetric group S_n acts on the corresponding projective hyperplane complement, and on its wonderful compactification as defined by De Concini and Procesi. We give a formula for the characters of the representations of W(r,n) on the cohomology groups of this compactification, extending the result of Ginzburg and Kapranov in the r=1 case. As a corollary, we get a formula for the Betti numbers which generalizes the result of Yuzvinsky in the r=2 case. Our method involves applying to the nested-set stratification a generalization of Joyal's theory of tensor species, which includes a link between polynomial functors and plethysm for general r. We also give a new proof of Lehrer's formula for the representations of W(r,n) on the cohomology groups of the hyperplane complement.

description: Attempts of making our food systems more sustainable have (partly) failed. Food production still contributes significantly to biodiversity losses, global warming and depletion of natural resources. Based on the postulation that this failure in the governance of environmental issues in agri-food systems relates notably to social and cultural aspects, this paper explores the literature in the social sciences looking for explanations. A first statement is that research around agri-environmental governance (AEG) issues remains globally split into two subgroups, one focusing on public policies and the other on the civil society or market aspects of environmental certification, with very little exchange or transversal analysis between the two. Drawing on the literature and on long-term fieldwork and research in Switzerland, I identify three dimensions of AEG that open new paths towards more sustainable food systems: an encompassing approach of the food system; the encouragement of collective knowledge creation and the promotion of autonomy. Joining other emerging scholarships, this paper calls for developments in the research on AEG that produce encompassing theoretical frameworks, which transcends pre-existing categories in order to allow new conceptualisation of governance practices in complex or hybrid systems. The integration of the food, knowledge and autonomy dimensions should help in creating innovative and transformative governance instruments.

description: A scenario is put forth for the formation of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. It depends upon the formation of a Mestel disk with a flat rotation curve, where the mass is proportional to r and thickness to 1/r. Such disks should form from the collapse of uniformly rotating, isolated, gaseous clouds, either proto-galactic, galaxy-mass damped Lyman alpha clouds or the gas that survives galaxy mergers. We propose that in any case the disk will be unstable to the Rossby vortex instability (RVI). This instability grows from any large, steep pressure gradient in an optically thick disk. Such pressure gradients either occur adjacent to compact objects or could be triggered by individual supernovae in and around the disk. Upon excitation, the RVI transports angular momentum far more efficiently than the turbulence of a viscosity-based Shakura-Sunyaev disk. The critical column density condition in a L* Mestel disk predicts that the black hole mass is ~ 10^8 Msolar and is also proportional to the 1/4 power of the velocity dispersion, in accordance with observations.

description: Turbulent gas motions are expected to dominate the non-thermal energy budget of the intracluster medium (ICM). The measurement of pressure fluctuations from high angular resolution Sunyaev-Zel'dovich imaging opens a new avenue to study ICM turbulence, complementary to X-ray density fluctuation measures. We develop a methodological framework designed to optimally extract information on the ICM pressure fluctuation power spectrum statistics, and publicly release the associated software named PITSZI. We apply this tool to the NIKA data of the merging cluster MACSJ0717 to measure its pressure fluctuation power spectrum at high significance, and to investigate the implications for its nonthermal content. Depending on the choice of the radial pressure model and the details of the applied methodology, we measure an energy injection scale $L_{inj} \sim 800$ kpc. The power spectrum normalization corresponds to a characteristic amplitude reaching $A(k_{peak}) \sim 0.4$. These results are are obtained assuming that MACSJ0717 can be described as pressure fluctuations on top of a single (smooth) halo, and are dominated by systematics due to the choice of the radial pressure model. Using simulations, we estimate that fitting a radial model to the data can suppress the observed fluctuations by up to 50\%, while a poorly representative radial model can induce spurious fluctuations, which we also quantify. Assuming standard scaling relations between the pressure fluctuations and turbulence, we find that MACSJ0717 presents a turbulent velocity dispersion $σ_v \sim 1200$ km/s, a kinetic to kinetic plus thermal pressure fraction $P_{k} / P_{k+th} \sim 20\%$, and we estimate the hydrostatic mass bias to $b_{HSE} \sim 0.3-0.4$. Our results are in excellent agreement with alternative measurements from X-ray surface brightness fluctuations, and in agreement with the fluctuations being adiabatic in nature.

description: UBC currently receives its water supply from the Metro Vancouver water system, which is reliant on two distribution pipes that direct the water through the University Endowment Lands. In the event of an emergency, these pipes may fail and leave UBC and the surrounding areas without a water supply. SEEDS (Social Ecological Development Studies) is exploring options for UBC’s on-site emergency water supply system, by evaluating the water demand during an emergency and utilizing groundwater wells, an emergency storage system, or a combination of the two to meet the demand. The Most Civil Engineering Consultants has created a detailed design to provide UBC with an emergency water supply solution. The detailed design provides an emergency water supply to meet the demands of UBC’s population and communities within a 1-hour walking distance. The total population considered was estimated to be 164,500 people. The water demand per capita was assessed, and a design was conceptualized that would meet the average flow demand that was calculated to be 3000 L/min and a 3-hour fire demand of 14,000 L/min. The site is on the south-east section of the campus, next to Library PARC, and will include four artesian wells, one 4.2 million liter water tank, and a main water distribution pipe along SW Marine Drive to the UBC pump house with a branch to UBC Farms. The project is estimated to cost $14.94 million CAD. Construction is planned to begin on May 2021 and with a duration of approximately 10 months. The cost breakdown and construction schedule included may be modified upon unforeseeable circumstances during construction. The performance, reliability, costs, environmental impact, and aesthetics all contributed to the decision-making process and development of the detailed design.

description: We present ImPoster, a novel algorithm for generating a target image of a 'source' subject performing a 'driving' action. The inputs to our algorithm are a single pair of a source image with the subject that we wish to edit and a driving image with a subject of an arbitrary class performing the driving action, along with the text descriptions of the two images. Our approach is completely unsupervised and does not require any access to additional annotations like keypoints or pose. Our approach builds on a pretrained text-to-image latent diffusion model and learns the characteristics of the source and the driving image by finetuning the diffusion model for a small number of iterations. At inference time, ImPoster performs step-wise text prompting i.e. it denoises by first moving in the direction of the image manifold corresponding to the driving image followed by the direction of the image manifold corresponding to the text description of the desired target image. We propose a novel diffusion guidance formulation, image frequency guidance, to steer the generation towards the manifold of the source subject and the driving action at every step of the inference denoising. Our frequency guidance formulations are derived from the frequency domain properties of images. We extensively evaluate ImPoster on a diverse set of source-driving image pairs to demonstrate improvements over baselines. To the best of our knowledge, ImPoster is the first approach towards achieving both subject-driven as well as action-driven image personalization.

description: The increasing precision of cosmology data in the modern era is calling for methods to allow the extraction of non-Gaussian information using tools beyond two-point statistics. The marked power spectrum has the potential to extract beyond two-point information in a computationally efficient way while using much of the infrastructure already available for the power-spectrum. In this work we explore the marked power spectrum from an analytical perspective. In particular, we explore a low-order polynomial for the mark that allows us to better control the theoretical uncertainties and we show that with minimal new degrees of freedom the analytical results match measurements from N-body simulations for both the matter field and biased tracers in redshift space. Finally, we show that even within the limited forms of mark that we consider, there are degeneracies that can be broken by inclusion of the marked auto-spectrum or the cross-spectrum with the unmarked field. We discuss future theoretical developments that would enable us to apply this approach to survey data.
