De-globalising bank regulation

description: The recent crisis has promoted a rethinking of financial globalisation, a revision that has also partially interested some official circles. National supervisors have often reacted to the crises of cross-border banks by ring fencing local interests. Some proposals (e.g. the Vickers Report and the Fed’s subsidiarisation of US establishments of foreign banks) de facto imply a partial de-globalisation of both banks and their supervision. Orthodox regulators and large banks point, on the contrary, to deepen globalisation by means of more homogeneous international standards for prudential regulation and bank resolution. After all, that was the original message of the G20. The champions of globalisation argue that the new rules on prudential regulation and bank resolution will make bank crises less frequent and serious, while shielding public finances if they occur. Much of the current debate focuses on whether the new rules, especially for bank capitalisation, are strict enough to deliver financial stability. The present paper objects to focusing regulation and supervision solely on stability, to linking stability only to prudential rules and to enhancing the international harmonisation of those rules. The criticism, based on a simple exercise, looks at the structural heterogeneities that characterise both the banking systems and the growth trajectories of some developed economies. Homogenous rules, if effective, would produce inflationary or deflationary strains. If banks must serve economic growth, regulation should found financial stability mainly on structural measures, and supervision should be transformed into one of the policy tools flexibly looking after local conditions.

US Basel III Final Rule on banks’ capital requirements: A different-size-fits-all approach

subject: G21, G28

description: The US Basel III Final Rule was issued by the Banking Agencies (Fed, OCC and FDIC) in July 2013. The Rule implements the international Basel III framework defined by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and represents a major overhaul of the US banks’ capital requirements, since the adoption of Basel I in 1992. The Rule incorporates provisions contained in the Dodd-Frank Act (2010). The purpose of this note is to highlight some key specific features of the US standard. In particular, it is argued that the US Rule introduces, de facto, a modular approach according to size and complexity and places great emphasis on leverage requirements for systemic banks, to avoid a mere backstop character of the non-risk-based capital ratios. These two features stand in contrast with the EU transposition of Basel III (CRR/CADIV). JEL codes: G21, G28

Kinetic and mechanistic studies of polyoxometalate (POM) reaction with lignin and model compounds
Creators: name: Kim, Yong Sik
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a rapidly growing class of metal-oxygen-cluster anions. The properties of POMs can be modified by altering the POMs chemical composition and structure. Due to low cost, commercial availability, and synthetic tractability POMs have found application in various fields of chemistry and technology. POMs are reusable and thermally stable to oxidative conditions, making them an attractive alternative to chlorine for the delignification of wood pulp. The research addressed in this dissertation deals with detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies of K₅[SiVW₁₁O₄₀]·12H₂O, a POM used in the delignification of wood pulp, oxidation of phenolic lignin model compounds and milled wood lignin (MWL). Results from lignin model studies suggest an overall second-order reaction rate; first order with respect to both POM and phenolic substrate. It was observed that electron-transfer from neutral phenols was slower than that from the corresponding phenoxide anions. Hammett studies revealed the reaction involved the formation of an electron-deficient radical intermediate where the rate-determining step is electron transfer from a neutral substrate. The structure of the substituted phenol, in terms of its electron donating/withdrawing character, along with the position of the substituent on the aromatic ring heavily influences the reaction rates. Increasing the number of ortho methoxyl groups dramatically increased the reaction rate, e.g. phenol < guaiacyl < syringyl model structures. The ortho methoxyl group(s) resonance stabilizes and delocalizes the forming phenoxyl radical intermediate. Similarly, the reaction rate of para-substituted guaiacyl and syringyl model compounds showed a dependence on the nature of the para-substituent; inductive or resonance conjugated electron withdrawing effects and inductive donating effects. The effect of POM oxidation on the chemical structure of a Lodgepole pine MWL is investigated. ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data revealed an approximate 28% decrease in β-O-4 inter-unit linkages after POM treatment, the decrease in β-O-4 inter-unit linkages being accompanied by an increase in carbonyl content. These results suggest that POM oxidation involves side-chain (such as α-OH/β-O-4) oxidation. ¹³C NMR spectroscopy along with gel permeation chromatography revealed an increase in the degree of condensation which supports the idea that radical coupling is a major reaction pathway in this process.

description: The short note introduces the articles published in this issue, placing the different contributions in the current socio-economic context. The first two articles in particular concern a topic of great relevance to the well-functioning of a monetary production economy, namely banking regulations and especially the changes being currently introduced. Tonveronachi (2013) argues in favour of a significant de-globalization of banks and of their regulation and supervision, thus opposing the mainstream attitude supported by regulatory authorities. Masera (2013) provides a discussion of the enactment of the third Basel Capital Accord in the United States and in Europe, with the former placing greater emphasis on leverage requirements (versus risk-weighted capital requirements, which are kept simpler) and on a differentiation of the rules according to the size and complexity of the financial institutions concerned (versus the European one-size-fits-all attitude).

description: The 80% of the matter in the Universe is in the form of dark matter that comprises the skeleton of the large-scale structure called the Cosmic Web. As the Cosmic Web dictates the motion of all matter in galaxies and inter-galactic media through gravity, knowing the distribution of dark matter is essential for studying the large-scale structure. However, the Cosmic Web's detailed structure is unknown because it is dominated by dark matter and warm-hot inter-galactic media, both of which are hard to trace. Here we show that we can reconstruct the Cosmic Web from the galaxy distribution using the convolutional-neural-network-based deep-learning algorithm. We find the mapping between the position and velocity of galaxies and the Cosmic Web using the results of the state-of-the-art cosmological galaxy simulations, Illustris-TNG. We confirm the mapping by applying it to the EAGLE simulation. Finally, using the local galaxy sample from Cosmicflows-3, we find the dark-matter map in the local Universe. We anticipate that the local dark-matter map will illuminate the studies of the nature of dark matter and the formation and evolution of the Local Group. High-resolution simulations and precise distance measurements to local galaxies will improve the accuracy of the dark-matter map.

description: We define public administrations (PAs) as productive units, and analyze the recent trends in PAs’ productivity applying Sylos Labini’s productivity function model. At the microeconomic level, we propose a model of government action for the production of public goods. At the macroeconomic level, we underline the relevance of distinguishing the public and the private sectors in growth accounting exercises, and show that both sectors can fruitfully contribute to economic growth. A preliminary application of the model to the estimation of the impact of e-Government processes highlights a significant relationship between e-Government and PAs’ productivity growth in a number of OECD countries.

description: Trust can be defined as “a willingness to be vulnerable to another for a given set of tasks” and thus, trust and public health are inextricably linked. State actors are key participants in population health, organizing, among other things, mandates and guidelines that target health behaviors and encourage the uptake of medicines, screenings, diagnostics, and control of health conditions. Effective implementation of these crucial, government-sponsored health efforts is conditional on the public’s belief that the state is trustworthy and has one's best interest in mind – positioning trust in government as a central determinant of public health. Trusting relationships between patients, health systems, and health care providers are also essential, as high-quality, safe care and adherence with healthcare professionals’ recommendations heavily depend upon trust. In many countries, trust in government and health care providers are inseparable, as governments are the primary providers of healthcare.
Despite these critical relationships, existing studies that link trust and public health outcomes often focus on contemporaneous factors, many of which are endogenous to public health outcomes (e.g., support for the incumbent political party). For example, Sopory and colleagues reported a comprehensive examination of the phenomenon of trust during public health emergency events among 68 studies from 28 countries that included individuals who were directly affected by a public health emergency. Importantly, no studies from South America or Africa were included. The shortage of research on the sociostructural, historical, economic, and political sources of low trust limits our understanding of how trust deficits might be remedied so as to improve population health. Understanding why trust is low as well as how to repair trust are thus of critical importance.
Market forces, trade union action, and the Phillips curve in Italy

subject: E24, E31, J51

description: This study is an extension of two previous studies in which the authors build upon their model of trade union action on contract renewals. To this end, a distinction is made between the percentage of workers at any given moment of time whose new contracts take effect on or before the expiration date of their previous contract. The model is subjected to economic tests with data referring to the Italian industrial sector. The central conclusion is that, since with the wave of strikes initiated by the contract renewals of Fall 1969, the Phillips curve has shifted to the right and upwards and its slope for any given level of unemployment is nearly doubled with respect to the slope prevailing in the previous twenty years. Some implications concerning the present conditions of dynamic instability of the inflationary process are then highlighted. JEL: E24, E31, J51

Unified simulations of planetary formation and atmospheric evolution: Effects of pebble accretion, giant impacts, and stellar irradiations on super-Earth formation

description: A substantial number of super-Earths have been discovered, and atmospheres of transiting super-Earths have also been observed by transmission spectroscopy. Several lines of observational evidence indicate that most super-Earths do not possess massive H$_2$/He atmospheres. However, accretion and retention of less massive atmospheres on super-Earths challenge planet formation theory. We consider the following three mechanisms: (i) envelope heating by pebble accretion, (ii) mass loss during giant impacts, and (iii) atmospheric loss by stellar X-ray and EUV photoevaporation. We investigate whether these mechanisms influence the amount of the atmospheres that form around super-Earths. We develop a code combining an N-body simulation of pebble-driven planetary formation and an atmospheric evolution simulation. We demonstrate that the observed orbital properties of super-Earths are well reproduced by the results of our simulations. However, (i) heating by pebble accretion ceases prior to disk dispersal, (ii) the frequency of giant impact events is too low to sculpt massive atmospheres, and (iii) many super-Earths having H$_2$/He atmospheres of $\gtrsim 10$ wt% survive against stellar irradiations for 1 Gyr. Therefore, it is likely that other mechanisms such as suppression of gas accretion are required to explain less massive atmospheres ($\lesssim 10$ wt%) of super-Earths.

description: The concept of `Floquet engineering' relies on an external periodic drive to realise novel, effectively static Hamiltonians. This technique is being explored in experimental platforms across physics, including ultracold atoms, laser-driven electron systems, nuclear magnetic resonance, and trapped ions. The key challenge in Floquet engineering is to avoid the uncontrolled absorption of photons from the drive, especially in interacting systems in which the excitation spectrum becomes effectively dense. The resulting dissipative coupling to higher-lying modes, such as the excited bands of an optical lattice, has been explored in recent experimental and theoretical works, but the demonstration of a broadly applicable method to mitigate this effect is lacking. Here, we show how two-path quantum interference, applied to strongly-correlated fermions in a driven optical lattice, suppresses dissipative coupling to higher bands and increases the lifetime of double occupancies and spin-correlations by two to three orders of magnitude. Interference is achieved by introducing a weak second modulation at twice the fundamental driving frequency with a definite relative phase. This technique is shown to suppress dissipation in both weakly and strongly interacting regimes of a driven Hubbard system, opening an avenue to realising low-temperature phases of matter in interacting Floquet systems.

Using multispectral and hyperspectral satellite data for early detection of mountain pine beetle damage
Creators: name: Sharma, Rajeev
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Mountain pine beetle [MPB] [Dendroctonous ponderosae Hopk.) is the most serious pest of mature lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) in western North America. Three key research issues important in developing satellite-based methods for early MPB damage detection and mapping are examined in this thesis. Relevant questions relating to these issues are: i) is it possible to provide information on MPB-attacked stands using satellite imagery at an earlier date than conventional methods; ii) is spectral variability in mature lodgepole pine stands significant enough to warrant consideration in MPB attack detection at a landscape level; and iii) are satellite-based hyperspectral bands useful in forest tree species discrimination and early detection of MPB-attacked stands. The first two questions were investigated using multispectral Landsat-7 ETM+ data; the third question was investigated using EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral data. Using a multi-step deductive approach, MPB-attacked stands were identified with an accuracy of 69% using the Landsat imagery, approximately four months earlier than would be possible with conventional surveys. Significant spectral variability was found in mature stands of lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and spruce (Picea spp.) at the landscape level. Among the three variables examined (stand age, site index and site ecology), site ecology (BEC subzone/variants) had the largest influence on the spectral signatures of the three species. Douglas-fir, lodgepole pine and spruce could be identified with an identification accuracy of 81.8%, 82.1% and 78.9%, respectively, using a subset of nine narrow bands from the Hyperion sensor, mainly distributed in the 1500-1800 nm spectral region. Corresponding accuracies using Landsat data were 66.1%, 74.3% and 67.6%. Another set of nine spectral bands, optimized to identify MPB attack and distributed mainly in the 900-1100 nm spectral region, resulted in identification accuracies of 81.7% and 80.2% for MPB-attacked (mainly green-attack) and unattacked stands, respectively. The results of this thesis demonstrate that early detection of MPB-attacked stands is possible using multispectral and hyperspectral data at a scale and resolution to be of practical use to the forest managers. Some of the results from this study have already been used operationally for planning the harvest of MPB-killed trees.

description: Redshifts used in current cosmological supernova samples are measured using two primary techniques, one based on well-measured host galaxy spectral lines and the other based on supernova-dominated spectra. Here, we construct an updated Pantheon catalog with revised redshifts, redshift sources and estimated uncertainties for the entire sample to investigate whether these two techniques yield consistent results. The best-fit cosmological parameters using these two measurement techniques disagree, with a supernova-only sample producing $Ω_m$ 3.2$σ$ higher and $H_0$ 2.5$σ$ lower than a hostz-only sample, and we explore several possible sources of bias which could result from using the lower-precision supernova-dominated redshifts. In a pilot study, we show that using a host redshift-only subsample will generically produce lower $Ω_m$ and matter density $Ω_m h^2$ and slightly higher $H_0$ than previous analysis which, for the Pantheon dataset, could result in supernova and CMB measurements agreeing on $Ω_m h^2$ despite tension in $H_0$. To obtain rigorous results, though, the Pantheon catalog should be improved by obtaining host spectra for supernova that have faded and future surveys should be designed to use host galaxy redshifts rather than lower-precision methods.

description: This paper traces the evolvement of monetary-policy proposals at Chicago from the early 1930s up until the appearance of Friedman’s classic “Restatement” of the quantity theory in 1956. First, the pragmatic nature of Chicagoan monetary economics during the depression-dominated 1930s is examined. The emergence of the Chicagoan affirmation in the efficiency of traditional monetary policy is then described. It is argued that rather than representing a transmogrification of the monetary views of his predecessors, Friedman’s “Restatement” more accurately reflects a culmination of post-Keynesian Chicago contributions on money. In addition, the interpretation of budget deficits financed by money creation as the implementation of monetary, as opposed to fiscal, policy is shown to be a common link among Chicagoans throughout the entire period under consideration.

Statistical deprojection of intervelocities, interdistances and masses in the Isolated Galaxy Pair Catalog

description: In order to study the internal dynamics of actual galaxy pairs, we need to derive the probability distribution function (PDF) of true 3D (orbital) intervelocities and interdistances between pair members from their observed (projected) values, and of the pair masses from Kepler's third law. Our Isolated Galaxy Pair Catalog (IGPC) of 13114 pairs \cite{Nottale2018a} is used here for this research. The algorithms of statistical deprojection elaborated in \cite{Nottale2018b} are applied to these observational data. We derive the orbital velocity PDFs for the whole catalog and for several selected subsamples. The interdistance PDF is deprojected and compared to analytical profiles which are expected from semi-theoretical arguments. The PDF of deprojected pair orbital velocities is characterized by the existence of a main probability peak around $\approx 150$ km.s$^{-1}$ for all subsamples of the IGPC as well as for the UGC pair catalog \cite{Chamaraux2016}. The interdistance PDFs of both the projected and deprojected data are described at large distances by the same power law with exponent $\approx -2$. The whole distributions, including their cores, are fairly fitted by King profiles. The mass deprojection yields a mass/luminosity ratio for the pairs of $M/L=(30 \pm 5)$ in Solar units. The orbital velocity probability peak is observed at the same value, $\approx 150$ km/s, as the main exoplanet velocity peak, which points toward a possible universality of Keplerian structures, whatever the scale. The pair $M/L$ ratio is just 5 times the standard ratio for luminous matter, which does not require the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in these systems.

The author agrees with the proposition that, for equity reasons, it would be desirable to find some offset to the transfer of wealth which takes place under inflation between borrowers and lenders. However, he seeks to show that the income tax system may not be the most appropriate practical mechanism to obtain the desired offset. In addition, certain conceptual issues are raised. A qualified alternative suggestion is then made. JEL: E31, E64, H24

description: Diese Studie entstand im Rahmen des HfH Forschungsprojekts “Umgang von Schulen mit sozial beeinträchtigten Schülern und Schülerinnen“. Ausgangspunkt dieser Untersuchung bildet die Frage, warum die heilpädagogischen Ressourcen in gewissen Schulgemeinden exponentiell ansteigt und in anderen nicht. Auf der Basis des empirischen Materials, das in diesem Forschungsprojekt erhoben wurde, werden die anomischen Spannungen in vier der acht untersuchten Schulen näher analysiert. Zum einen zeigt sich, dass der anomische Druck von Schule zu Schule verschieden gross ist, zum andern unterscheiden sich auch die Bewältigungsstrategien auf Team- und Schülerebene. Ausgehend von dieser Analyse werden schlussendlich Aussagen zur Tragfähigkeit der einzelnen Schulen in Bezug auf den Umgang mit verhaltensauffälligen Schülern und Schülerinnen möglich.

description: In this paper we present a higher-dimensional seesaw mechanism. We consider a single, flat extra dimension, where a fat brane is localized and contains the standard model (SM) fields, similar to Universal Extra Dimension models. There is only one Dirac fermion in the bulk, and in four dimensions it results in two towers of Kaluza-Klein (KK) Majorana sterile neutrinos, whose mass mixing with the SM neutrinos is suppressed due to a brane-localized kinetic term. The interaction between the sterile neutrinos and the SM is through the usual coupling with the Higgs boson, where the coupling depends upon the compactification radius $R^{-1}=10^{-2}-1$ GeV and the width of the fat brane $L^{-1}=2$ TeV, where the latter value is chosen to avoid LHC constraints. Due to this suppression mechanism the mass of the lightest sterile neutrinos can be of order $\mathcal{O}(1-10)$~\text{TeV} while naturally explaining the small SM neutrino mass, which in turn is easily obtained for a large range of parameter choices. Furthermore, neutrino oscillations are not substantially influenced by the tower of sterile KK particles. Finally, leptogenesis is investigated in this setup, and it is viable for some values within the parameter space.

description: In the third catalog of active galactic nuclei detected by the $Fermi$ Large Area Telescope Clean (3LAC) sample, there are 402 blazars candidates of uncertain type (BCU). The proposed analysis will help to evaluate the potential optical classification flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) versus BL Lacertae (BL Lacs) objects of BCUs, which can help to understand which is the most elusive class of blazar hidden in the Fermi sample. By studying the 3LAC sample, we found some critical values of $γ$-ray photon spectral index ($Γ_{\rm ph}$), variability index (VI) and radio flux (${\rm F_R}$) of the sources separate known FSRQs and BL Lac objects. We further utilize those values to defined an empirical "high-confidence" candidate zone that can be used to classify the BCUs. Within such a zone ($Γ_{\rm ph}<2.187$, log${\rm F_R}<2.258$ and ${ \rm logVI <1.702}$), we found that 120 BCUs can be classified BL Lac candidates with a higher degree of confidence (with a misjudged rate $<1\%$). Our results suggest that an empirical "high confidence" diagnosis is possible to distinguish the BL Lacs from the Fermi observations based on only on the direct observational data of $Γ_{\rm ph}$, VI and ${\rm F_R}$.

Subjects: subject: Optimum quantity of money, brokerage costs, securities markets, policy, financial markets, intermediaries
subject: E44, E52

description: The discussion of the optimum quantity of money by several prominent economists has led to a reexamination of the fundamental role of money in an economy. The present note is concerned with two related consequences of achieving the optimum quantity of money: the impact on brokerage costs and the impact on the existence of securities markets. This is followed by a discussion on the alternative specifications of an optimum quantity of money policy. The author then turns to analyse the relationship between optimum money balances, financial markets and financial intermediaries. JEL: E44, E52

description: Die Masterarbeit zeigt auf, welche Ziele die Multifamilienarbeit (MFA) im schulischen Kontext verfolgt und welche Erfahrungen Eltern von Kindern mit herausforderndem Verhalten bezüglich der MFA machen. Um die theoretische Forschungsfrage nach den Zielen zu beantworten, wird zunächst ein Überblick über Konzeption und Methode der MFA gegeben. Daraus ergeben sich elf relevante Zielkategorien. Die empirische Forschungsfrage nach den Erfahrungen der Eltern wird anhand konkreter Fälle in einer Schweizer Tagessonderschule erforscht. Es werden drei Elternteile interviewt. Im Anschluss an die inhaltsanalytische Auswertung ihrer Aussagen wird eine Einschätzung bezüglich der Erreichung der konzeptuell postulierten MFA-Ziele vorgenommen. Zum Schluss werden Konsequenzen bezüglich der Organisation und Gestaltung der MFA im schulischen Kontext formuliert.
Phases of capitalist development

subject: O11, P10

description: Within the period of modern economic growth, there have been distinct and important phases of development. Such phases have characteristics which put constraints on the performance of individual countries, whether they be fast or slow growing. The present paper deals with developments since 1870 in 16 of the more advanced capitalist countries, and divides the past century’s experience into four phases. The author looks at long-term performance records, interruptions to growth, phases of growth and finally explanations of differences in momentum between phases. JEL: O11, P10

title: Petrogenesis of kimberlites from South Africa and lamproites from Western Australia and North America
Creators: name: Fraser, Kirsten Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: Group 2 kimberlites from South Africa, and lamproites from Western Australia and North America are relatively unfractionated mantle-derived igneous rocks, situated on or close to ancient cratonic areas. They are characterised by high trace element contents, while the range in N d and Sr isotopes encompasses much of that reported for various upper and lower crustal rocks. It is argued that these features are not due to crustal contamination during magma ascent, rather they are source and extraction phenomena. The mantle source regions of these rocks were ancient (~ 1.0 to 2.5 Ga) and variably trace element enriched. Preservation of such regions within the mantle is most probable in the relatively 'cold' and 'rigid' subcontinental mantle lithosphere, which is believed to have been isolated from the convecting asthenosphere for a long time. The source regions of the kimberlites and lamproites were situated at various depths within the subcontinental mantle lithosphere, from within the amphibole stability field « 100 km) to within the diamond stability field (> 150 km). Low degrees of partial melting « 1 %), together with volatile composition and depth of melting, have significantly influenced the composition of the resultant kimberlite and lamproite magmas. Those magmas that originated from within the diamond stability field contain abundant entrained and dis aggregated mantle peridotite. This feature is related to melt migration and rapid ascent to the surface, from these mantle depths. The Sr, Nd and Pb isotope data record evidence of variable, but related trace element enrichment styles. The origin of these trace elements is either from recycled continental crust (e.g. pelagic sediment), or from intra-mantle processes (e.g. the migration and crystallisation of small volume silicate melts with variable volatile compositions). The available data are insufficient to determine between the models and further work in this area is required.

description: Resilienz ist seit einigen Jahrzehnten ein verbreitetes und anerkanntes Konzept in der Pädagogik des früheren Alters. Vor allem der Paradigmenwechsel, der zu diesem Konzept geführt hat, eröffnet den Weg zu ressourcenorientierten Förderansätzen. Die Resilienzforschung stellt eine grundlegende Frage, die die Arbeit als Heilpädagogische Früherzieherin begleiten sollte, nämlich die Frage nach dem, was Kinder stark macht. Dieser Ansatz verschafft dem pädagogischen Handeln einen grossen Spielraum: Kinder können durch eine gezielte Förderung in ihrer Bewältigungskompetenz gestärkt werden. An diesen Überlegungen setzt die vorliegende Masterarbeit an, die das Ziel verfolgt, die Resilienz eines Kindes anhand einer gezielten Förderung der Selbst-/Fremdwahrnehmung und Emotionsregulation zu stärken. Die Frage, die dieser Arbeit zugrunde liegt, lautet: Wie kann die Resilienz eines Kindes während der Heilpädagogische Früherziehung gestärkt werden? Auch die Eltern sollten als aktive Partner in den Förderprozess einbezogen werden. Aus einer theoretischen Auseinandersetzung resultierte eine Förderintervention aus acht Fördereinheiten, die im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit entwickelt, durchgeführt und ausgewertet werden. Die sich daraus ergebenden Erkenntnisse können eine Grundlage für die Heilpädagogische Früherziehrinnen darstellen, welche die Resilienzförderung als Ergänzung in das Förderangebot integrieren möchten.

description: Magnetic skyrmions have attracted enormous research interest since their discovery a decade ago. The non-trivial real-space topology of these nano-whirls leads to fundamentally interesting and technologically relevant consequences - the skyrmion Hall effect of the texture and the topological Hall effect of the electrons. Furthermore, it grants skyrmions in a ferromagnetic surrounding great stability even at small sizes, making skyrmions aspirants to become the carriers of information in the future. Still, the utilization of skyrmions in spintronic devices has not been achieved yet, among other reasons, due to shortcomings in their current-driven motion. In this review, we present recent trends in the field of topological spin textures that go beyond skyrmions. The majority of these objects can be considered a combination of multiple subparticles, such as the bimeron, or the skyrmion analogues in different magnetic surroundings, such as antiferromagnetic skyrmions, as well as three-dimensional generalizations, such as hopfions. We classify the alternative magnetic quasiparticles - some of them observed experimentally, others theoretical predictions - and present the most relevant and auspicious advantages of this emerging field.

Host responses in Douglas-fir, western hemlock and western redcedar to infection by Armillaria ostoyae and Armillaria sinapina
Creators: name: Cleary, Michelle R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Necrophylactic periderm (NP) formation and compartmentalization of infected tissue were examined in roots of 20-30 year-old western redcedar (Thujaplicata), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees infected by Armillaria ostoyae. Microscopic investigation of abiotically wounded roots, as well as roots naturally infected and inoculated with A. ostoyae revealed distinct differences in the types and frequency of host responses between cedar and the other two conifers. Following invasion by A. ostoyae, a higher frequency of successful resistance reactions was induced in western redcedar compared to Douglas-fir and western hemlock. Breaching of non-suberized impervious tissue (NIT) and NP was common in Douglas-fir and western hemlock trees. The barrier zone in cedar formed by the uninjured cambium was comprised of axial parenchyma with pigmented deposits and provided a permanent barrier to spread by the fungus. Unique resistance mechanisms in cedar involving induced rhytidome formation impart increased resistance to the spread of A. ostoyae in host tissue. In three inoculation trials, penetration of living bark on host roots by A. sinapina did not differ from A. ostoyae. However, the frequency of successful resistance reactions induced following invasion by A. sinapina in Douglas-fir and western hemlock was significantly higher than the same species infected with A. ostoyae. Inoculum potential and host-pathogen interactions were key determinants of pathogenicity of A. sinapina on all hosts. In a survey of twenty juvenile mixed species plantations throughout the southern Interior of B.C., cumulative mortality in Douglas-fir trees was significantly higher than in western redcedar trees (p < 0.001). The incidence o f mortality decreased with increasing tree size for both species, however the rate o f decrease was markedly greater among cedar compared to Douglas-fir trees. The proportion of trees that showed compartmentalization and callusing at the root collar increased with increasing tree size, but the increase was markedly greater for cedar than Douglas-fir and occurred much earlier even when the trees were relatively small. Results indicate that the higher degree of resistance against A. ostoyae in western redcedar may help alleviate long-term impacts of root disease when regenerated on sites infested with Armillaria root disease.

title: Agricultural research practice for environmental management and poverty reduction : the case of CIAT
Creators: name: Reece, J. David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This thesis is about the institutions that apply developed-country science and technology to agriculture in underdeveloped countries. It considers the extraordinary series of changes in food production that has come to be known as the 'Green Revolution', arguing that the(less than ideal) outcomes of these changes reflected the characteristics of a particular network of research institutions known as the CG System, as mediated by the agricultural technology developed by the latter. Drawing on recent developments in the theory of innovation, the thesis argues that the characteristics of the CG System responsible for the outcomes of the 'Green Revolution' may be derived from the 'linear' model of innovation,upon which the former was apparently predicated. This 'linear' model of innovation is critically compared with a rival 'fifth generation' model. It is suggested that if the CGSystem were to adopt an innovatory practice that conformed to the 'fifth generation' model,it would enable itself to make a greater impact upon poverty and hunger. The reforms that are now being experienced by the CG System are critically considered in the light of this discussion. This argument is supported by empirical material which demonstrates thatCIAT (a member of the CG System) has traditionally approached innovation in a manner consistent with the 'linear' model. However, an initiative based within CIAT's Hillsides Programme is examined in detail and shown to be an attempt to introduce into this institute an innovatory practice consistent with the rival 'fifth generation' model. Formidable organisational forces act to resist this initiative and the changes that if seeks to effect in its organisational environment. Nonetheless, considerable movement towards the 'fifth generation' model is discerned at each of the different levels of analysis employed in the thesis,· which concludes that this process of change is itself worthy of serious investigation.
