subject: mammalian pest

description: The various kinds of damages currently caused by wildlife throughout Japan can be attributed to the fact that the policies for management and utilization have lacked both a long-term perspective and an examination from the biological and economic points of view. This paper, therefore, addresses the issue of the management of the Yeso deer in Hokkaido and reexamines it. The paper presents three main conclusions. First, when the revenues from forestry products are sufficiently high, it will be appropriate to maintain the wildlife resource level lower than the level corresponding to the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). Second, there is a possibility that certain changes in the discount rate and the price may lead to a substantial alteration of the management criteria. Third, there is little difference between the monopoly case and the socially optimum case under the parameter values set in this paper.

description: The Chinese Government has promoted the national fuel-ethanol program since 2002 to deal with the energy security and air pollution problem. Inferior corn has been allocated as the major raw material to produce fuel-ethanol, but is inadequate for this purpose. Contrary to the national government's decision, the Chinese fuel-ethanol facilities in Heilongjiang and Jilin use normal corn, which is used for feed, food and industrial raw material. This study examines the impacts the Chinese fuel-ethanol program would have on domestic and international corn markets, by applying a newly developed Chinese corn market model. Our simulation suggests moderate impacts of the problem on the world corn market.

 Type species: Chavesia caldasiae Balachowsky, 1957, by original designation.
 Introduction: Eight species of Neochavesia are now known (Schneider & LaPolla, 2011) and adult males have been described for two of them (N. caldasiae (Balachowsky) (Fig. 19) and N. lapollai Williams (Fig. 20) (Williams, 2004a)). The adult male of a third species is described below. The adult females of all the known species possess well-developed protruding anal lobes, and an anal ring without cells and placed well forward of the apex of the abdomen. A generic diagnosis and a key based on the adult females are given in Schneider and LaPolla (2011).
For a morphological diagnosis of the males of this genus, see key to genera above.

description: The relationship between multifunctionality and the roles of rural communities has not been discussed fully although the connection between the two is an essential issue in the rural policy arena. Pursuing this issue, this paper considers that multifunctional hamlet activities are generated as institutional joint products within the hamlet. Also evaluated is the connection between multifunctional activities and institutional hamlet conditions under the Japanese direct payment program for less favored areas. Results of conceptual considerations and empirical evaluations reveal that specific multifunctional hamlet activities depend on hamlet conditions; those on the least favorable level tend to perform land preservation activities while those under the most favorable conditions tend to undertake recreational activity. Hamlets participating in forming landscape fall in the middle. Thus, firstly, institutional jointness is not constant but variable depending on hamlet conditions. Consequently, programs to enhance multifunctionality should respect hamlet conditions that represent different levels of institutional jointness of multifunctional activity rather than treat multifunctionality as a single concept. Secondly, for diversification, it would be effective to organize hamlet activities based on an open and wider human network rather than the traditional closed one in rural communities.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the productivity change for agricultural cooperatives in Japan measured by nonparametric output-oriented Malmquist indices of total factor productivity (TFP). The productivity change is decomposed into technical change and technical efficiency change. Linear programming techniques are used to calculate the productivity change using a panel data set for 44 agricultural cooperatives located in the dairy-farming region of Hokkaido in Japan over the period 1982-1991. The results suggest that the pattern of TFP changes tends to be driven more by technical progress rather than improvements in technical efficiency. The results also suggest that the goal of a 30% increase in productivity in agricultural cooperatives by the year 2000 introduced at the 20th Annual Meeting of the Agricultural Cooperatives Association of Japan held in 1994 was unattainable in the case of 44 agricultural cooperatives located in the dairy-farming region of Hokkaido.

description: The elastic-input neuro tagger and hybrid tagger, combined with a neural network and Brill's error-driven learning, have already been proposed for the purpose of constructing a practical tagger using as little training data as possible. When a small Thai corpus is used for training, these taggers have tagging accuracies of 94.4% and 95.5% (accounting only for the ambiguous words in terms of the part of speech), respectively. In this study, in order to construct more accurate taggers we developed new tagging methods using three machine learning methods: the decision-list, maximum entropy, and support vector machine methods. We then performed tagging experiments by using these methods. Our results showed that the support vector machine method has the best precision (96.1%), and that it is capable of improving the accuracy of tagging in the Thai language. Finally, we theoretically examined all these methods and discussed how the improvements were achived.

description: This paper is concerned with inverse acoustic source problems in an unbounded domain with dynamical boundary surface data of Dirichlet kind. The measurement data are taken at a surface far away from the source support. We prove uniqueness in recovering source terms of the form $f(x)g(t)$ and $f(x_1,x_2,t) h(x_3)$, where $g(t)$ and $h(x_3)$ are given and $x=(x_1, x_2, x_3)$ is the spatial variable in three dimensions. Without these a priori information, we prove that the boundary data of a family of solutions can be used to recover general source terms depending on both time and spatial variables. For moving point sources radiating periodic signals, the data recorded at four receivers are proven sufficient to uniquely recover the orbit function. Simultaneous determination of embedded obstacles and source terms was verified in an inhomogeneous background medium using the observation data of infinite time period. Our approach depends heavily on the Laplace transform.

description: Ultracold atoms at temperatures close to the recoil limit have been achieved by extending Doppler cooling to forbidden transitions. A cloud of ^40Ca atoms has been cooled and trapped to a temperature as low as 6 μK by operating a magneto-optical trap on the spin-forbidden intercombination transition. Quenching the long-lived excited state with an additional laser enhanced the scattering rate by a factor of 15, while a high selectivity in velocity was preserved. With this method more than 10% of pre-cooled atoms from a standard magneto-optical trap have been transferred to the ultracold trap. Monte-Carlo simulations of the cooling process are in good agreement with the experiments.

description: We study the impact of a generalized Chaplygin gas as a candidate for dark energy on CMB anisotropies. The generalized Chaplygin gas is a fluid component with an exotic equation of state, $p = - A/ρ^α$ (a polytropic gas with negative constant and exponent). Such component interpolates in time between dust and a cosmological constant, with an intermediate behaviour as $p=αρ$. Perturbations of this fluid are stable on small scales, but behave in a very different way with respect to standard quintessence. Moreover, a generalized Chaplygin gas could also represent an archetypal example of a phenomenological unified models of dark energy and dark matter. The results presented here show how the CMB anisotropies induced by this class of models differ from a $Λ$CDM model.

description: Food insecurity is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. While various developments have been made over the years to improve food security within nations, market interventions in the agribusiness system have received relatively little research attention. Therefore, the scope of this thesis is to explore the access and efficiency of the agribusiness marketing system that enhances food security primarily focusing on Asia, with a special focus on Sri Lanka. This thesis proposes five research questions that are related to the agribusiness marketing system and food security. These five research questions are organized as five studies and align with the four pillars of food security: availability, accessibility, utilization and stabilization. [...]

 Xenococcus Silvestri, 1924: 312.
 Type species: Xenococcus annandalei Silvestri, by monotypy.
 Introduction. At present, five species of Xenococcus are known (Schneider & LaPolla, 2011), but only the male of X. acropygae Williams has been described (Williams, 1998) (Fig. 22). If this is typical of the males of this genus, it appears to be significantly different from other rhizoecine males and is easily separated from the other species in Xenococcini by the presence of: (i) spine-like claw digitules; (ii) very short 1-segmented antennae; (iii) presence of a lobe (caudal extension?) on abdominal segment VIII with 3 spine-like setae, and (iv) sclerotised thoracic segments. This suggests that the Xenococcinae might be divisable into two tribes, one to include Eumyrmococcus and Neochavesia and the other for just Xenococcus. However, because the male of only one species is currently known, no action is being taken here.

description: Though there are many studies on Japanese agricultural productivity, studies in relation to efficiency of Japanese agriculture are very few. In this study an attempt is made to measure the technical efficiency and technical change in Japanese agriculture from 1965 to 1995. Both data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) methods are used to measure the efficiency. We obtained a consistent result between these two analyses. We also found that a fair amount technical progress existed, but at the same time technical efficiency declined in these thirty years. Prefectures which have large-scale rice farming such as Hokkaido, Niigata, Ishikawa, and Toyama possess high technical efficiencies. Also, prefectures which are near big cities such as Tokyo, Kanagawa and Aichi possess high technical efficiencies. On the other hand, cold, mountainous and less populated prefectures such as Iwate, Tottori and Shimane possess low technical efficiencies. Also, we found that technical efficiency diverged rather than converged over these 30 years.

description: This study presents the environmental life cycle assessment of four low carbon design strategies applied in Danish, architectural practice. The subject of analysis is a set of five buildings erected within the same constrictions in terms of floor area, energy performance and construction costs. The tested design strategies were: use of recycled materials, design for extended durability of components, adaptable design, and design for reduction of operational energy demand. The results of the five buildings are compared with a reference building (i.e. a typical, Danish single-family dwelling). Results show that the recycling/upcycling strategy is the most effective in reducing the embodied carbon. The use of structural wood in the same design furthermore points to the use of wood as a viable low-carbon strategy. In combination, these two strategies result in an approximate 40% saving of life cycle embodied carbon compared to the reference. Using durable materials yields up to 30% lower embodied carbon compared to the reference, whereas a design for adaptability results in 17% lower embodied carbon. However, these results are sensitive to the scenarios made for the service lives of materials and the implemented disassembly solutions. In a life cycle carbon perspective, the emissions from energy use prove to be of importance, although depending on the modelling approaches of the energy mix. With the shrinking, global carbon budgets in mind, there is justified reason to holistically optimize the design of new buildings by integrating various design aspects addressing the whole life cycle of the building.

description: We consider a hybrid structure where a material with Rashba-like spin-orbit coupling is proximity coupled to a conventional superconductor. We find that the superconducting critical temperature $T_c$ can be tuned by rotating the vector $\boldsymbol{n}$ characterizing the axis of broken inversion symmetry. This is explained by a leakage of $s$-wave singlet Cooper pairs out of the superconducting region, and by conversion of $s$-wave singlets into other types of correlations, among these $s$-wave odd-frequency pairs robust to impurity scattering. These results demonstrate a conceptually different way of tuning $T_c$ compared to the previously studied variation of $T_c$ in magnetic hybrids.

description: In the literature the value based food chains express two main characteristics: business relationships among strategic partners interacting in the supply chain are based on a written set of values and food products are differentiated from similar food products (Stevenson, 2009). To verify the first part of the definition the analysis of two organic food chains were carried out. For the analysis of business relationships and food quality communication in the food chain two different methodological approaches were used. For collecting the input data semi-structured interviews of various stakeholders were performed. The results of the analyzed case studies show the characteristics of value based food chains could be broader and more complex if some additional perspectives were considered.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) has convincingly been proven compatible with real life applications. Its wide-scale deployment in optical networks will benefit from an optical platform that allows miniature devices capable of encoding the necessarily complex signals at high rates and with low power consumption. While photonic integration is the ideal route toward miniaturisation, an efficient route to high-speed encoding of the quantum phase states on chip is still missing. Consequently, current devices rely on bulky and high power demanding phase modulation elements which hinder the sought-after scalability and energy efficiency. Here we exploit a novel approach to high-speed phase encoding and demonstrate a compact, scalable and power efficient integrated quantum transmitter. We encode cryptographic keys on-demand in high repetition rate pulse streams using injection-locking with deterministic phase control at the seed laser. We demonstrate record secure-key-rates under multi-protocol operation. Our modulator-free transmitters enable the development of high-bit rate quantum communications devices, which will be essential for the practical integration of quantum key distribution in high connectivity networks.

description: Two sets of investigators -- Murray (1999) and Matese, Whitman & Whitmire (1999) -- have recently claimed evidence for an undiscovered Solar System planet from possible great circle alignments in the aphelia directions of the long period comets. However, comet discoveries are bedevilled by selection effects. These include anomalies caused by the excess of observers in the northern as against the southern hemisphere, seasonal and diurnal biases, directional effects which make it harder to discover comets in certain regions of the sky, as well as sociological biases. The stream proposed by Murray is shown on an equal area Hammer-Aitoff projection. The addition of newer data weakens the case for the alignment. There is also evidence that the subsample in the stream is affected by seasonal and north-south biases. The stream proposed by Matese et al. is most obvious in the sample of dynamically new comets, and especially in those whose orbits are best known. The most recent data continues to maintain the overpopulation in this great circle. This pattern in the data occurs about once in a thousand times by chance. Numerical integrations are used to demonstrate that a planet by itself can reduce the perihelia of comets in its orbital plane to sufficiently small values so that they could be discovered from the Earth. There is a need for a sample of long period comets that is free from unknown or hard-to-model selection effects. Such will be provided by the European Space Agency satellite GAIA.

description: The global food sector is a highly interdependent and competitive sector that strives for food security, food affordability and sustainability. In South Africa, Fresh Produce Markets (FPMs) are faced with increasing competition in the form of direct contracting by retailers in response to consumer demand for better quality. These FPMs lack the ability to compete with retailers. Over the past two decades there has been an increased pace of corporatization of State‐Owned Enterprises (SOE). The main focus of this research is to determine, by using the method of paired comparisons, whether corporatization into a Municipal Entity is indeed the best solution to allow for faster adaptability and improved performance.

description: Autonomous vehicles rely on deep learning (DL) models like object detectors and traffic sign classifiers. Assessing the robustness of these safety-critical components requires good test cases that are both realistic, lying in the distribution of the real-world data, and cost-effective in revealing potential failures. Unlike previous methods that use adversarial attacks on the pixel space, our approach identifies latent space-aware test cases using a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) through three steps: (1) Train a CVAE on the dataset. (2) Generate test cases by computing adversarial examples in the CVAE’s latent space. (3) Cluster challenging test cases based on their latent representations. The resulting clusters characterize regions that reveal potential defects in the DL model, which require further analysis. Our results show that our approach is capable of generating failing test cases for all classes of the MNIST and GTSRB datasets in a purely data-driven way, surpassing the baseline of random latent space sampling by up to 75 times. Finally, we validate our approach by detecting previously introduced faults in a faulty DL model. We suggest complementing expert-driven testing methods with our purely data-driven approach to uncover defects experts otherwise might miss. To strengthen transparency and facilitate replication, we provide a replication package and digital appendix to make our code, models, visualizations, and results publicly available.

description: This study investigates how the approximate number system (ANS) and young children’s symbolic skills jointly develop and interact. Specifically, the study aims at disentangling the directionality of the association between ANS acuity and a wide range of symbolic skills that reflect 4- to 5-year-olds’ symbolic quantitative knowledge (enumeration skills, knowledge of the verbal count sequence, symbolic comparison skills, and single-digit arithmetic). After accounting for individual differences in several domain-general skills (visuospatial working memory, non-verbal reasoning, and phonological processing), path models on longitudinal data collected from 4-year-old childen in Spain (N = 62) over one year revealed that earlier single-digit arithmetic and symbolic magnitude comparison skills predicted changes in ANS acuity over time. No contribution from earlier ANS to improvements in symbolic skills was found. Notably, the strength of the effect of visuospatial working memory on improvements in ANS acuity over time was like that of the auto-regressor – the correlation between measures of ANS acuity across time points. Implications for extant theories on the nature of the associations between ANS and young children’s symbolic skills are drawn.

description: We propose an orientation-averaged intermolecular potential model for the accurate computation of relevant thermodynamic and transport properties of steam at conditions typically encountered in extreme environments such as rocky exoplanetary atmospheres, aircraft and rocket engines, high temperature steam reforming and electrochemical reactors, as well as advanced ultra-supercritical steam power generators. We assess the reliability of the potential model to describe accurately the temperature dependence of relevant thermodynamic properties of rarified steam up to and beyond 3000K. Moreover, we discuss some fundamental issues including (i) the conditions at which an orientation-averaged intermolecular potential for a molecular fluid becomes an accurate representation of the fluid behaviour in extreme environments, (ii) the temperature range of validity of the approximations underlying an orientation averaging approach and, (iii) the methodology of force-field parameterisation to obtain an optimised representation, as well as the concomitant modelling of the thermodynamics and transport properties of rarified fluids. Finally, we illustrate how the simultaneous accurate description of the temperature dependence of the fluid’s collision integrals and second virial coefficient is crucial to the successful modelling of rarified steam in extreme environments.

description: The aim of the paper was to determine the influence of the fertilization level on the energy and economics efficiency of the production technologies of selected crops processed into bioethanol or biogas. There were investigated the following crops: rye, triticale, wheat, sugar beets, maize, sorghum, reed canarygrass and Virginia fanpetals. In the energetic efficiency the Energy Return on Energy Investment index (EroEI) was used. Apart from the ERoEI ratio, the Net Energy Value (NEV) ratio was also used. In the economics efficiency attitude, the Gross Margin (GM) was determined.The investigations proved that in general, the production technologies of crops where the lowest levels of nitrogen fertilization were applied proved to have the highest energetic efficiency. The highest economic efficiency was characterized by the production of corn for biogas. In the case of the production of bioethanol (all plants), ratios were on the verge of profitability or the lack of it showed.The analysis proved that the efficiency of the technologies of production of the crops to be processed into biogas is several times higher than the energetic efficiency of the technologies of production of the crops to be processed into bioethanol.

description: During the development of products with health claims the collaboration and interaction of several disciplines and independent partners is necessary such as the production, quality, marketing, legal functions of the company, the external providers of the knowledge on the constituent having the claimed physiological effect, the clinics carrying out the human intervention studies, statisticians, laboratories providing testing services, etc. This results in a higher dependency from each other and less flexibility compared to the development of a conventional product where mostly in‐company functions work together. Therefore systematic coordination of the multiple interactions, careful design of the product and its development process is particularly important.

description: Children’s understanding of the stability of gender over time has long been recognized as a hallmark of early childhood cognitive development. Prior research has argued that until roughly age 6, children do not understand that a person’s gender identity remains consistent if the person undergoes a change in gendered behavior or appearance. However, this prior work has generally not given children any context as to why the behavior or appearance change is occurring. The present study showed U.S. three-to-five-year-olds a character (e.g. “Johnny”) undergo such a change that occurred because of external factors (e.g. “Johnny is wearing his sister’s dress because all his clothes are dirty”); we asked whether children would indicate that the character’s gender was the same pre- and post-change. Children (N = 124, 52% girls, 66% non-Hispanic White) as young as 3 demonstrated an understanding of gender consistency and were significantly more likely to endorse gender consistency when they were, versus were not, given context for the change (p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.88). Results suggest that U.S. children take context into account when conceptualizing others’ genders and believe that gender is generally consistent across transformations in behavior or appearance by age 3. We discuss the implications of these findings in light of a broader literature about children’s understanding of gender constancy as well as contemporary understandings of gender that sometimes accommodate the idea that a person’s gender can change.

description: It is well known that traversable wormholes are valid solutions of the Einstein field equations, but these structures can only be maintained by violating the null energy condition. In this paper, we have obtained such wormhole solutions in an isothermal galactic halo, as well as in a void. We have shown that the null energy condition is violated, with the help of a suitable redshift function obtained from flat galactic rotation curves.

Internal energy dissipation in Enceladus's ocean from tides and libration and the role of inertial waves

description: Enceladus is characterised by a south polar hot spot associated with a large outflow of heat, the source of which remains unclear. We compute the viscous dissipation resulting from tidal and libration forcing in the moon's subsurface ocean using the linearised Navier-Stokes equation in a 3-dimensional spherical model. We conclude that libration is the dominant cause of dissipation at the linear order, providing up to about 0.001 GW of heat to the ocean, which remains insufficient to explain the (about) 10 GW observed by Cassini. We also illustrate how resonances with inertial modes can significantly augment the dissipation. Our work is an extension to Rovira-Navarro et al. [2019] to include the effects of libration. The model developed here is readily applicable to the study of other moons and planets.

description: We investigate static spherically symmetric perfect fluid models in Newtonian gravity for barotropic equations of state that are asymptotically polytropic at low and high pressures. This is done by casting the equations into a 3-dimensional regular dynamical system with bounded dependent variables. The low and high central pressure limits correspond to two 2-dimensional boundary subsets, described by homology invariant equations for exact polytropes. Thus the formulation naturally places work about polytropes in a more general context. The introduced framework yields a visual aid for obtaining qualitative information about the solution space and is also suitable for numerical investigations. Last, but not least, it makes a host of mathematical tools from dynamical systems theory available. This allows us to prove a number of theorems about the relationship between the equation of state and properties concerning total masses and radii.

description: Several definitions for corporate social responsibility (CSR) exist and these vary greatly as to the activities it should cover and their motivators. Among the benefits of CSR are positive marketing/brand building, brand insurance and employee loyalty. Numerous arguments against CSR prevail, e.g. social responsibility is not a problem that belongs in the sphere of activities a corporation should be addressing or even that CSR distracts businesses from addressing the primary need to concentrate on sales. Thus, the strong economic question: is CSR worth it? In 2014, we carried out a representative survey in Hungary, in which the effects of responsible business practices on consumer purchase behaviour were studied. With our research results, we could show that there is a considerable gap between the apparent interest of consumers in CSR and the limited role of CSR in purchase behaviour.

description: Due to the intrinsic point-to-point characteristic of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, it is necessary to study and develop QKD network technology to provide a secure communication service for a large-scale of nodes over a large area. Considering the quality assurance required for such a network and the cost limitations, building an effective mathematical model of a QKD network becomes a critical task. In this paper, a flow-based mathematical model is proposed to describe a QKD network using mathematical concepts and language. In addition, an investigation on QKD network topology evaluation was conducted using a unique and novel QKD network performance indicator, the Information-Theoretic Secure communication bound, and the corresponding linear programming-based calculation algorithm. A large number of simulation results based on the topologies of SECOQC network and NSFNET network validate the effectiveness of the proposed model and indicator.
