description: In this series of reports, we discuss the opportunities for private incentives to drive greater adoption of new or changed farming practices that generate public benefits. This includes private incentives to farmers, and private incentives to other participants in the agricultural supply chain. We blend theory and practice with an eye to both the economic and environmental risks and rewards involved.
Derangements and Euler's difference table for $C_\ell\wr S_n$

description: Euler's difference table associated to the sequence $\{n!\}$ leads naturally to the counting formula for the derangements. In this paper we study Euler's difference table associated to the sequence $\{\ell^n n!\}$ and the generalized derangement problem. For the coefficients appearing in the later table we will give the combinatorial interpretations in terms of two kinds of $k$-successions of the group $C_\ell\wr S_n$. In particular for $\ell=1$ we recover the known results for the symmetric groups while for $\ell=2$ we obtain the corresponding results for the hyperoctahedral groups.

description: We study the nonlinear hydrodynamics of a 2+1 dimensional charged conformal fluid subject to slowly varying external electric and magnetic fields. Following recent work on deriving nonlinear hydrodynamics from gravity, we demonstrate how long wavelength perturbations of the AdS dyonic black brane solution of 4D supergravity are governed by equations equivalent to fluid dynamics equations in the boundary theory. We investigate the implications of $S$-duality for our system, and derive restrictions imposed on the transport coefficients of a generic fluid invariant under the S operation. We also expand on our earlier work and determine a new set of previously undetermined transport coefficients for the conformal fluid with an AdS gravity dual. Quite surprisingly, we discover that half of the transport coefficients allowed by symmetry vanish in the holographic fluid at linear order in the hydrodynamic expansion.

description: Tool-assisted analysis of software systems and convenient guides to practise the formal methods are still motivating challenges. This article addresses these challenges. We ex periment on analysing a formal specification from multiple aspects. The B method and the Atelier-B tool are used for formal specifications, for safety property analysis and for refinements. The ProB tool is used to supplement the study with model checking; it helps to discover errors and there fore to improve the former specifications.

description: In present study, in order to improve the performance and reduce the amount of power which is dissipated in heterogeneous multicore processors, the ability of detecting the program execution phases is investigated. The programs execution intervals have been classified in different phases based on their throughput and the utilization of the cores. The results of implementing the phase detection technique are investigated on a single core processor and also on a multicore processor. To minimize the profiling overhead, an algorithm for the dynamic adjustment of the profiling intervals is presented. It is based on the behavior of the program and reduces the profiling overhead more than three fold. The results are obtained from executing multiprocessor benchmarks on a given processor. In order to show the program phases clearly, throughput and utilization of execution intervals are presented on a scatter plot. The results are presented for both fixed and variable intervals.

description: Khovanov homology is a bigraded Z-module that categorifies the Jones polynomial. The support of Khovanov homology lies on a finite number of slope two lines with respect to the bigrading. The Khovanov width is essentially the largest horizontal distance between two such lines. We show that it is possible to generate infinite families of links with the same Khovanov width from link diagrams satisfying certain conditions. Consequently, we compute the Khovanov width for all closed 3-braids.

A re-examination of stock-market risk
Creators: name: Gardiner, Daniel Francis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of the research undertaken in this thesis is twofold: a) to test the relationship between a security analyst's perception of risk based upon financial statement data and overall market return and b) to determine the relationship between the practitioners concept of risk and risk as outlined in the literature. The main data sources for the thesis were the Financial Post computer tape from which "accounting" measures of risk were derived and stock exchange price quotations from which "economic" or "traditional" risk measures were determined. "Accounting" measures of risk considered included the coefficient of variation, standard deviation and mean-absolute deviation of the earnings stream variables, net operating income, net income and net income plus depreciation. The "traditional" or "economic" measures computed were the standard deviation of return and the beta coefficient or volatility index. Arguments were then presented for the relevance of each measure in describing stock market risk. To determine any relationship among various risk measures, a correlation and sectoral analysis was undertaken. The correlation analysis indicated a significant relationship existed among certain "accounting" and "economic" risk measures and in general, this relationship was supported by the sectoral analyses. To indicate the relationship among the risk measures and overall return, a graphical analysis was undertaken. Mixed results were obtained in this analysis, with certain measures of risk displaying a more significant risk/return relationship than did others. Thus, it appears that there does exist some degree of association between "accounting" and "traditional" measures of risk as indicated by the analyses undertaken in this thesis. What the literature is measuring as risk could possibly then be a reflection of what the security analyst views as stock market risk. However, there may be other factors which play an important role in the practitioners formation of risk estimates, factors which are, as of yet, non-quantifiable.

description: Purpose The goal of this study was to evaluate a key word signing (KWS) program in which adults with mild to severe intellectual disability (ID) were taught manual signs through their support staff. Our hypothesis was that spontaneous manual sign production of participants would increase significantly after 12 months of implementation of the KWS program.
Method A KWS immersion program was implemented in a facility for adults with ID. First, 8 support workers received 8 hr of training. These KWS ambassadors then taught 2 manual signs per week to their colleagues, who modeled the use of the signs throughout the day in natural interactions with their clients. KWS use in 15 adults with ID and 15 of their support staff was evaluated before the start of the program and at a 12-month follow-up using a narrative task and during spontaneous conversation.
Results Manual sign production of support workers and adults with ID had increased significantly 12 months after the start of the program. The adults with ID were able to express significantly more communicative functions in their narrative language after the intervention and when using KWS.
Conclusion The KWS program was successful and can be applied in similar clinical settings.

description: The long GRB 050730 observed at redshift z ~ 4 allowed the determination of the elemental abundances for a set of different chemical elements. We use detailed chemical evolution models taking into account also dust production to constrain the star formation history of the host galaxy of this long GRB. For the host galaxy of GRB 050730, we derive also some dust-related quantities and the the specific star formation rate, namely the star formation rate per unit stellar mass. We copare the properties of the GRB host galaxy with the ones of Quasar Damped Lyman Alpha absorbers.

description: In recent decades, Speech interactive systems gained increasing importance. To develop Dictation System like Dragon for Indian languages it is most important to adapt the system to a speaker with minimum training. In this paper we focus on the importance of creating speech database at syllable units and identifying minimum text to be considered while training any speech recognition system. There are systems developed for continuous speech recognition in English and in few Indian languages like Hindi and Tamil. This paper gives the statistical details of syllables in Telugu and its use in minimizing the search space during recognition of speech. The minimum words that cover maximum syllables are identified. This words list can be used for preparing a small text which can be used for collecting speech sample while training the dictation system. The results are plotted for frequency of syllables and the number of syllables in each word. This approach is applied on the CIIL Mysore text corpus which is of 3 million words.

description: Index insurance is considered an important strategy to reduce agricultural risk and increase smallholder farmers’ investments. However, insured farmers may develop mistrust of insurance if they experience crop losses and do not receive a payout, for instance because index insurance covers only a subset of covariate risks. At the same time, insurance for idiosyncratic risks would introduce differences in payouts within social networks, which might be considered unfair, introduce jealousy, and further depress demand for insurance. We conduct lab-in-the-field experiments with farmers in Ethiopia to examine the effects of a novel insurance approach that ensures insurance payouts for farmers with crop losses due to idiosyncratic events. We also examine the effects of informing farmers about their neighbors’ experiences alongside their own. We find that such social comparison increases perceived fairness of weather index insurance. In addition, providing complete insurance coverage for crop losses increases farmers’ perceived fairness of outcomes and willingness to pay, without introducing jealousy over neighbors receiving different payouts. Finally, we find that the increase in willingness to pay for complete insurance is concentrated among men and risk averse respondents.

description: We report the detection in the envelope of the C-rich star IRC +10216 of four series of lines with harmonically related frequencies: B1389, B1390, B1394 and B1401. The four series must arise from linear molecules with mass and size close to those of C6H and C5N. Three of the series have half-integer rotational quantum numbers; we assign them to the 2Delta and 2Sigma vibronic states of C6H in its lowest (v_11) bending mode. The fourth series, B1389, has integer J with no evidence of fine or hyperfine structure; it has a rotational constant of 1388.860(2) MHz and a centrifugal distortion constant of 33(1) Hz; it is almost certainly the C5N- anion.

description: Purpose We investigated the feasibility of using a virtual clinician (VC) to promote functional communication abilities of persons with aphasia (PWAs). We aimed to determine whether the quantity and quality of verbal output in dialogues with a VC would be the same or greater than those with a human clinician (HC).
Method Four PWAs practiced dialogues for 2 sessions each with a HC and VC. Dialogues from before and after practice were transcribed and analyzed for content. We compared measures taken before and after practice in the VC and HC conditions.
Results Results were mixed. Participants either produced more verbal output with the VC or showed no difference on this measure between the VC and HC conditions. Participants also showed some improvement in postpractice narratives.
Conclusion Results provide support for the feasibility and applicability of virtual technology to real-life communication contexts to improve functional communication in PWAs.

description: This paper is a summary and synthesis of a series of three papers dealing with private incentives for sustainable agricultural outcomes. There is a large and still growing literature on ameliorating the undesirable environmental consequences of agriculture. Much of that literature deals with public policy and regulatory approaches to eco-friendly farming. While we have learned much from that past research and analysis, the premise of this suite of papers is that private decisions are crucial for putting global agriculture on a more sustainable footing. To meet the increasing demand for food as a result of population growth and economic development, agriculture must continue to grow more food. The challenge is to do this while protecting natural resources and the environment and also enabling farmers to make a decent living.

description: The transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator (MI) phase has been observed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ytterbium (Yb) atoms in an optical lattice. An all-optically produced BEC of 174Yb atoms was loaded into three-dimensional optical lattices produced by a 532 nm laser beam. The interference pattern was measured after releasing the quantum gas from the trapping potential. As increasing the optical lattice depth, we observed the disappearance of the interference patterns, which is a signature of entering the MI regime. This result is an important step into studies by using a combination of the MI state and the ultranarrow optical transition of ultracold alkaline-earth-like atoms.

A development potential for the Vancouver metropolitan area
Creators: name: Moore, Richard Albert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The focus of this study is on means by which the spatial distribution of housing development can be explained. This involved firstly (I) identification of potential determinants of residential location and the verification thereof, and secondly (II) investigation into the applicability of the use of Clark's Theory of Exponentially Declining Densities as a predictor of housing unit completions. (I) Interviews with sixty-three developers in the Greater Vancouver Area were used to rank criteria used in their location decision-making. Regressions of some of the more important criteria were attempted with housing completions as the dependent variable. Analysis of the data demonstrates that housing unit completions of a subarea are strongly related to both its unused and total housing potential. The data does not support the developers’ contention that relative land price is an important locational determinant. Travel time from the central business district is not in itself a significant variable in explaining the spatial distribution of housing unit completions. (II) Less than 50% of the variation of population density is explainable in terms of distance from the CBD in the manner of Clark's relation: Population/Area = [formula omitted] here d is the distance from the central business district, and A and b are constants. Considerably better results (59% to 74% of the variation) are obtained with the inverse travel relations:Population/Area Zoned Residential =[formula omitted]and Housing Units/Area Zoned Residential = [formula omitted]where t is the travel time from the central business district. The existence of unused potential in a subarea as defined by the difference between the density observed and the density calculated (by Clark's Theory or by the Inverse Travel Time Relation above) is a significant predictor variable of whether or not residential construction will take place. However, the magnitude of the unused potential thus calculated is not a significant determinant of the actual number of housing unit completions.

description: Purpose This study was designed to test the relative efficacy of different combinations of intervention approaches when targeting speech production accuracy and phonological awareness skills. All children received individual speech therapy, a home program, and a small-group phonological awareness intervention.
Method Sixty-five 4-year-olds with a developmental phonological disorder received these intervention components in different combinations over 12 weeks, resulting in 4 groups: output-oriented individual intervention and articulation practice home program, output-oriented individual intervention and dialogic reading home program, input-oriented individual intervention and articulation practice home program, and input-oriented individual intervention and dialogic reading home program.
Results A significant interaction of the individual treatment condition and the home program condition was observed for 2 outcome measures: targeted feature match (which reflected changes in speech production accuracy for features and word shape structures that were targeted in therapy) and explicit phonological awareness skills. Conclusion In this context, in which the children received a brief period of direct therapy and a home program component provided sequentially, the most effective strategy was to teach the parents to use treatment procedures at home that were congruent with the direct therapy component.

description: Using an adiabatic approximation we derive an effective interaction potentially for spatially indirect excitons. Using this potential and path integral Monte Carlo simulations we study exciton crystllization and the quantum melting phase transition in a macroscopic system of 2D excitons. Furthermore, the superfluid fraction is calculated as a function of density and shown to vanish upon crystallization. We show that the commonly used dipole model fails to correctly describe indirect excitons in quantum well structures.
Facebook for parents of a child with autism spectrum disorder in Malaysia

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study explored the use of Facebook for support group for parents of a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Malaysia. As the number of children being diagnosed with ASD increases every year, worldwide, parents in Malaysia initiated a Facebook support group called Autisme Malaysia to cater to their social support needs. Earlier research investigated the use of online support groups in many Western countries and in a very limited way in Asian countries. With the rise of Facebook as a popular social network site, it is paramount to explore its usage for support group. This netnography exploratory research aimed to: 1) explore experiences of parents of children with ASD in Malaysia participating in Autisme Malaysia (AM) Facebook group, and 2) investigate the impact of online engagement in this support group on these parents. These participants were parents/members of Autisme Malaysia Facebook group coming from all parts of Malaysia, and involved both mothers and fathers. This research utilised a qualitative approach adopting participant observation, archived Facebook data and semi-structured interviews for data triangulation methods. The participant observation was counted for frequency of activities carried out on Autisme Malaysia, while the other two methods were coded and analysed for pre-empted and emerging themes. Findings highlighted three major themes: 1) online engagement, 2) social support, and 3) expression of feelings. These three themes were interconnected and illustrated the way in which online communication can provide a culturally and emotionally safe 'space' for sharing challenging personal information. The parents reported positive and negative experiences of their involvement in the group. A major finding of this project is that many parents developed creative and individualised ways to overcome negative experiences to the point that they felt that the negative experiences were a manageable part of the lived experience of participating in the group.

description: We present integral field spectroscopy of the nebular line emission in a sample of 9 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). The sample was chosen to probe both cooling flow and non-cooling flow clusters, as well as a range of cluster X-ray luminosities. The line emission morphology and velocity gradients suggest a great diversity in the properties of the line emitting gas. While some BGCs show evidence for filamentary or patchy emission (Abell 1060, Abell 1668 and MKW3s), others have extended emission (Abell 1204, Abell 2199), while still others have centrally concentrated emission (Abell 2052). We examine diagnostic line ratios to determine the dominant ionization mechanisms in each galaxy. Most of the galaxies show regions with AGN-like spectra, however for two BCGs, Abell 1060 and Abell 1204, the emission line diagnostics suggest regions which can be described by the emission from young stellar populations. The diversity of emission line properties in our sample of BCGs suggests that the emission mechanism is not universal, with different ionization processes dominating different systems. Given this diversity, there is no evidence for a clear distinction of the emission line properties between cooling flow and non-cooling flow BCGs. It is not always cooling flow BCGs which show emission (or young stellar populations), and non-cooling flow BCGs which do not.

We discuss the technological underpinnings of the ILDG, primarily the metadata and the middleware, and offer a critique of its various aspects with the hindsight of the design work and the first full year of production.

Problems of ideology
Creators: name: Nehrmann, LJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis serves as a critical account of the development of the theory of ideology; the aim is to contribute towards the rehabilitation of this theory, demonstrating that with certain refinements it remains of significant importance to contemporary social analysis. I argue that the principal flaws in the traditional theory of ideology associated with Marx are rooted in its own adoption of certain 'ideological' motifs from the philosophy of Hegel and of Feuerbach; in particular, a teleological conception of historical process and an idealised image of authenticity. These presuppositions will be shown to result in three problematic implications for the theory: the apparent need for a standard of truth from which to juxtapose ideological errors; the introduction of a dichotomy between an 'ideological' and an 'authentic' subject, and with it concurrent issues surrounding the nature of human agency; and the need to posit some sort of collective subject that is mystified or falsely represented in ideology. I argue that these problems can be surmounted using the aesthetic and psychoanalytic approaches to ideology, developed by Eagleton and ‚âàŒ©i‚âàv¶ek in their respective adaptations of Althusser's conception of interpellation. This shift entails a reformulation of ideology as being an affective rather than a cognitive phenomenon, and so is removed from the problem of true and false belief. The distinction between 'ideological' and 'non-ideological' subjects is also challenged, and this entails a much more expansive conception of ideology, albeit one that is also more variable. The indeterminate notion of a collective subject embodied in ideological formations is explicated as being analogous to the modes of 'intersubjectivity' formed through aesthetic experience, and further developed using the psychoanalytic idea of fantasy. Finally, I argue that the conception of power implicit in the Marxian theory of ideology, epitomised in the struggle/repression opposition, should be replaced with the relational conception of power advanced by Foucault; that in this way the theory is able to account for ideology in all of its forms, and is not limited by any instances of economic reductionism or class essentialism. The application of this refined approach to three distinct and contrastive cases of ideological formations (Early Christianity, the contemporary European Far Right and the New Age Movement) is undertaken in order to demonstrate the enduring relevance and importance of the critique of ideology.

description: We have studied the magnetic excitations in impurity doped La$_{1.85}$Sr$_{0.15}$Cu$_{1-y}$A$_{y}$O$_{4}$ (A=Ni or Zn) by neutron scattering. The dispersion for Zn:$y=0.017$ is similar to that for the impurity free sample: incommensurate peaks with the incommensurability $δ=0.12\pm0.01$ (rlu) do not change their positions up to 21 meV. On the other hand, for Ni:$y=0.029$, two incommensurate peaks observed at low energies suddenly change into a broad commensurate peak at $E_\mathrm{cross}=15$ meV. Compared to the impurity free sample with a similar Sr-concentration $x=0.16$, [B. Vignolle {\it et al.} Nature Physics {\bf 3} (2007) 163], $E_\mathrm{cross}$ for Ni:$y=0.029$ is decreased by nearly the same factor for the reduction in $T_{c}$. This is very similar to the shift of the resonance energy ($E_\mathrm{res}$) in Ni-doped YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7}$.[Y. Sidis {\it et al.}: Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84} (2000) 5900]. These common impurity effects on the shift of $E_\mathrm{cross}$ and $E_\mathrm{res}$ suggest the same magnetic origin for the resonance peak in YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_δ$ and that for a crossing point of upward and downward dispersions in the La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$. We propose that the sudden change in the dispersion is better described by a crossover from incommensurate spin fluctuations to a gapped spin wave rather than a hourglass-like dispersion.

description: A scheme for generating an entangled state in a two spin-1/2 system by means of a spin-dependent potential scattering of another qubit is presented and analyzed in three dimensions. The entanglement is evaluated in terms of the concurrence both at the lowest and in full order in perturbation with an appropriate renormalization for the latter, and its characteristics are discussed in the context of (in)distinguishability of alternative paths for a quantum particle.

Long range corporate planning
Creators: name: Moudgill, Pravin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The thesis is in two distinct parts. The first part deals with the theoretical aspect of long-range corporate planning. Specifically it: 1. Traces the history of development of long-range planning; giving evidence of maturing of the discipline, its efficacy, and its acceptance in the business world. 2. Introduces the concepts of long-range corporate planning and develops them into a comprehensive theory. 3. Outlines and analyses the advantages of long-range planning, distinguishing between 'defensive' and 'creative' advantages. 4. Suggests broad outlines on 'how to plan'. Includes some interesting (to the author) models developed by others as an aid to the planning exercise. The second part contains details of a real-life application of long-range planning. A heuristic approach is utilized to develop a 4-year plan for two associated firms, a metal-stamping organization and a distributing-cum-sales organization. The exercise involves: 1. Setting up objectives. 2. Examination of the existing resources of the two firms. Locating sources of present and potential strengths and weaknesses. 3. A study of the market. 4. Establishing a time horizon. 5. Developing a product-market policy. 6. Integrating all the above into a comprehensive long-range plan. The principles developed in the first part find normative application in the above plan. The plan therefore serves a dual purpose: a vehicle for integration of various planning principles, as also for guiding the corporate destiny of the two firms.

Was meint Identität? Begriffsgeschichtliche Erkundungen zu einem umkämpften Terminus

description: Der Begriff der Identität wird heute in Alltagssprache wie Wissenschaft zunehmend inflationär verwendet. Damit verbindet sich die Gefahr semantischer Überdehnung. Der vorliegende Beitrag rekonstruiert vor diesem Hintergrund an Hand ausgewählter Stationen der Begriffsgeschichte unterschiedliche Dimensionen von Identität. Im Fokus stehen dabei die semantischen Verschiebungen des Identitätsbegriffs im Anschluss an Erik Erikson, die Identitätspolitik im Kontext der neuen sozialen Bewegungen, Identitätsmanagement als Marketingstrategie sowie die Vereinnahmung des Begriffs durch Akteur*innen der Neuen Rechten. Der Beitrag legt Verbindungslinien zwischen diesen begriffsgeschichtlichen Etappen und gegenwärtigen Debatten frei und wirft davon ausgehend einen Blick auf das vielschichtige Ringen um Identität in der Gegenwart. The term identity suffers today from severe devaluation of meaning due to its overuse in everyday language and academic discourse. Against this background this article examines different dimensions of identity on the basis of selected stages in the history of the concept. The focus thereby lies on the semantic shift in identity talk connected to the work of Erik Erikson, identity politics in the new social movements, identity as marketing technique and the appropriation of the concept by proponents of the New Right. The article traces the lines leading from these stages to contemporary debates about identity and explores theoretical possibilities to interpret the multidimensional struggles about identity in the present.

description: Purpose: Aims of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effects and toxicity of Se-loaded cellulose film originated from Styela clava tunic (SeSCTF) on cutaneous wounds during diabetic conditions. Materials and methods: Alterations in skin regeneration, angiogenesis and toxicity were examined using streptozotocine (STZ)-induced diabetic Sprague Dawley® (SD) rats with surgical skin wounds after application of SeSCTF for 12 days. Results: SCTF showed high tensile strength (1.64 MPa), low elongation (28.59%), low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) and outstanding porous structure. Although SeSCTF application did not induce any significant alterations in glucose concentration or toxicity, wound morphology was rapidly recovered in the SeSCTF treated group relative to the gauze (GZ) and SCTF treated group. Moreover, recovery of re-epithelization, wound contraction and number of blood vessel was observed in SeSCTF treated groups when compared with all other groups. Furthermore, the SeSCTF treated group showed complete recovery of key protein expressions of the downstream signaling pathway of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-2/1 (Ang-2/1), the signaling pathway of insulin receptors and anti-oxidative status. Conclusions: Overall, the results of this study suggest that SeSCTF accelerates the healing process of cutaneous wounds in STZ-induced diabetic SD rats through stimulation of angiogenesis and the glucose receptor signaling pathway.
