description: A cadeia produtiva da ovinocaprinocultura vem passando por transformações em suas estruturas de governança e ainda é considerada uma cadeia relativamente desorganizada no setor agropecuário. As formas de governança adotadas nas transações dos produtores de ovinos e caprinos vêm sendo foco de estudiosos desse setor. Para identificar quais são os problemas de coordenação enfrentados nessa cadeia foi feito um estudo de caso com o a Associação dos Criadores de Caprinos e Ovinos de Brasília (ACCOB) e da SINCCO (Sindicato dos Criadores de Caprinos e Ovinos do Distrito Federal). A NEI/ECT dá um suporte bastante pragmático para analisar as formas de governança que dominam as transações entre os agentes das cadeias produtivas; no caso da ovinocaprinocultura constatou-se que as transações da associação pesquisada assumem uma forma mista de governança. A atual falta de organização entre os produtores e a adequação de uma aliança estratégica horizontal adotada pela Associação sugere que essa forma de governança ou formas similares possam representar o futuro do setor, contribuindo para que a assimetria de informação e o oportunismo que tanto é evidente diminuam.--------------------------The productive chain of the lamb and goat comes passing for transformations in its structures of governance and still a chain relatively disorganized in the farming sector is considered. The adopted forms of governance in the transactions of the producers of lamb and goat come being focus of studious of this sector. To identify which they are the faced problems of coordination in this chain was made a study of case with the Association of the Lamb and Goat of Brasilia (ACCOB) and of the SINCCO (Union of the Lamb and Goat Creators of the Distrito Federal). The NEI/ECT gives a sufficiently pragmatic support to analyze the forms of governance that dominate the transactions between the agents of the productive chains, in the case of the chain of lamb and goat evidenced that the transactions of the searched association assume a mixing form of governance. The current lack of organization between the producers and the adequacy of the a horizontal strategic alliance adopted by the Association suggests that this similar form of governance or similar forms can represent the future of the sector, contributing so that the asymmetry of information and the opportunism, that as much is clear in this sector diminish.

A volte non c’è, il confine, non esiste e abbiamo bisogno di inventarlo per non avere troppo spazio davanti da guardare.

description: Biofouling of man-made surfaces by marine organisms is a global problem with both financial and environmental consequences. However, the development of non-toxic anti-biofouling coatings is challenged by the diversity of fouling organisms. One possible solution leverages coatings composed of diverse chemical constituents. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) photopolymerization was used to modify poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMSe) surfaces with polymeric grafts composed of three successive combinations of acrylamide, acrylic acid, and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. RAFT limited conflicting variables and allowed for the effect of graft chemistry to be isolated. While all compositions enhanced the anti-biofouling performance compared with the PDMSe control, the ternary, amphiphilic copolymer was the most effective with 98% inhibition of the attachment of zoospores of the green alga Ulva linza, 94% removal of cells of the diatom Navicula incerta, and 62% removal of cells of the bacterium Cellulophaga lytica. However, none of the graft compositions tested were able to mitigate reattachment of adult barnacles, Amphibalanus amphitrite.

description: As food is an experience good, the market for restaurant meals is a market where the cost of acquiring information regarding quality is relatively high. In such markets consumers often turn to reputation measures to guide purchase decisions. As Australia does not have a longstanding cuisine style of its own, and given Australia has been open to substantial immigration inflows since federation, it represents an especially appropriate market to study regarding the impact of individual restaurant reputation and collective cuisine reputation on meal prices. The following study uses the hedonic price approach to investigate the implicit price of individual reputation indicators, cuisine type reputation indicators, and other objective indicators in the market for restaurant meals. The empirical findings presented suggest that both individual restaurant reputation and cuisine type reputation are important. Other important factors are shown to include the quality of the restaurant wine list, the availability of private dining rooms, and whether or not there is an outdoor dining option.
Large mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB of hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in highly unresolved sideband regime

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose a scheme for the generation of strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB in hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in the highly unresolved sideband (HURSB) regime where the decay rate of cavity is much larger than the frequency of the mechanical oscillator. The system is formed by two two-level atomic ensembles and an optomechanical system with cavity driven by two lasers with different amplitudes. In the HURSB regime, the squeezing of the movable mirror can not be larger than 3dB if no atomic ensemble or only one atomic ensemble is put into the optomechanical system. However, if two atomic ensembles are put into the optomechanical system, the strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB is achieved even in the HURSB regime. Our scheme paves the way toward the implementation of strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3dB in hybrid atom-optomechanical systems in experiments.

description: In addition to the GST, alcohol sold in Australia is subject to excise tax. Although both beer and spirits are subject to a volumetric excise tax, wine is subject to an additional value added tax known as the Wine Equalisation Tax (WET). The recent Henry tax review recommended substantial changes to Australian alcohol taxation policy. Here, the implications for the wine industry of the Henry tax review recommendations are explored using a computable general equilibrium model. The results show that: (i) replacement of the WET with a revenue neutral volumetric excise tax would have a small negative impact on the wine industry; (ii) removal of the WET rebate would have a substantial negative impact on small wineries; and (iii) applying a uniform alcohol tax equal to the packaged beer excise rate across all alcoholic beverages would have a notable negative impact on the wine industry.

description: The Rosetta spacecraft escorted Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for 2 years along its journey through the Solar System between 3.8 and 1.24~au. Thanks to the high resolution mass spectrometer on board Rosetta, the detailed ion composition within a coma has been accurately assessed in situ for the very first time. Previous cometary missions, such as $\text{Giotto}$, did not have the instrumental capabilities to identify the exact nature of the plasma in a coma because the mass resolution of the spectrometers onboard was too low to separate ion species with similar masses. In contrast, the Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer (DFMS), part of the Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis on board Rosetta (ROSINA), with its high mass resolution mode, outperformed all of them, revealing the diversity of cometary ions. We calibrated and analysed the set of spectra acquired by DFMS in ion mode from October 2014 to April 2016. In particular, we focused on the range from 13-39 u$\cdot$q$^{-1}$. The high mass resolution of DFMS allows for accurate identifications of ions with quasi-similar masses, separating $^{13}$C$^+$ from CH$^+$, for instance. We confirm the presence in situ of predicted cations at comets, such as CH$_m^+$ ($m=1-4$), H$_n$O$^+$ ($n=1-3$), O$^+$, Na$^+$, and several ionised and protonated molecules. Prior to Rosetta, only a fraction of them had been confirmed from Earth-based observations. In addition, we report for the first time the unambiguous presence of a molecular dication in the gas envelope of a Solar System body, namely CO$_2^{++}$.

description: Comparisons between the return to wine and standard financial assets are complicated in that the return to wine must be estimated from infrequent sales of heterogeneous wine brands. Wine returns can be estimated using several different approaches, and here the performance of the hedonic approach, repeat sales approach, and hybrid approach are compared using 14,102 auction sale observations for Australian wine over the period 1988 to 2000. For the data set considered the results show that the hybrid approach provides the most efficient estimates, and that the repeat sales approach provides significantly higher total return estimates than the other two approaches. The portfolio diversification benefit attributed to holding wine is then shown to vary with estimation method.

description: Most domain adaptation methods consider the problem of transferring knowledge to the target domain from a single source dataset. However, in practical applications, we typically have access to multiple sources. In this paper we propose the first approach for Multi-Source Domain Adaptation (MSDA) based on Generative Adversarial Networks. Our method is inspired by the observation that the appearance of a given image depends on three factors: the domain, the style (characterized in terms of low-level features variations) and the content. For this reason we propose to project the image features onto a space where only the dependence from the content is kept, and then re-project this invariant representation onto the pixel space using the target domain and style. In this way, new labeled images can be generated which are used to train a final target classifier. We test our approach using common MSDA benchmarks, showing that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

Simulations over a range of impact parameters and velocities were performed. We find that pre-main sequence stars tend to ``wrap themselves'' around their impactor. We discuss the probable evolutionary state of products of collisions between pre-main sequence stars and pre-main sequence, main sequence, giant branch, and compact stars. The nature of the collision product does not depend strongly on the impact parameter or the velocity of the collision.

Un genere ibrido, quindi: racconto marinaresco, riflessione sul viaggio nell'era del turismo, racconto intimista sull'infanzia e la giovinezza dell'autore. Ne sono protagonisti i paesaggi della Sardegna, descritti da occhi autoctoni, ma come resi nuovi da un viaggio atipico e quasi iniziatico.

description: The fundamental measure density functional theory for hard spheres is generalized to binary mixtures of arbitrary positive and moderate negative non-additivity between unlike components. In bulk the theory predicts fluid-fluid phase separation into phases with different chemical compositions. The location of the accompanying critical point agrees well with previous results from simulations over a broad range of non-additivities and both for symmetric and highly asymmetric size ratios. Results for partial pair correlation functions show good agreement with simulation data.

description: Objective : To estimate welfare maximising tax rates for beer, wine, and spirits using a mathematical model that considers both the welfare loss alcohol taxes impose on non-abusive consumers and the welfare gains due to alcohol taxes reducing externality costs. Results : Optimal per litre of pure alcohol (LAL) tax rates are substantially different to both current alcohol tax rates and the uniform tax rate recommended as part of the 2010 Australian Government Tax Review. Given an individual consumer utility decision model, the best estimate values of the welfare maximising LAL tax rates are: $37 for beer, $11 for wine, $50 for spirits, and $77 for ready-to-drink spirits. Conclusion : As externality costs and the responsiveness of consumers to price changes are different for each alcohol type, community welfare is maximised by setting beverage specific LAL tax rates.

Nel testo è narrata la trasformazione da una ritualità teatrale tradizionale che prevede lo spettatore seduto in platea di fronte al palcoscenico a uno “spettatore in cammino” alle prese con un ruolo più attivo. Lo spettatore in cammino diviene l’emblema della necessità di ripensare le pratiche culturali nella zona liminale venutasi a creare tra il dissolvimento del vecchio sistema culturale e il nuovo mondo che ancora non conosciamo. In questa necessità di comprendere come ricostruire una relazione tra artisti e cittadini, la lezione appresa in contesti completamente diversi può risultare preziosa.

Relations between illness perceptions, coping, social support, and outcomes in the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Creators: name: Sleigh, Kenna Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disorder of unknown etiology characterized by fatigue, flu-like symptoms, and neurocognitive complaints. Due to the severe impairment associated with the illness patients are often unable to work and must rely on disability income. Few patients recover spontaneously although a sizeable proportion has reported improvement. Since no definitive treatment is available for CFS, it is essential to identify effective ways for patients to adjust to the illness. The purpose of the study was to describe how patients adapt to CFS. A sample of 100 patients diagnosed medically with CFS and meeting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) case definition were recruited primarily from the practices of two hospital-based internists. The respondents were screened for psychiatric conditions and completed a battery of questionnaires at four time points over a 21-month period. Guided by Leventhal's self-regulatory model, multiple regression analyses and ANOVA were utilized to assess the relations between respondents' illness representations, self-management strategies (coping and social support), perceived efficacy of self-management, and outcomes including functioning, psychological distress, and health care utilization. Analyses revealed pessimistic illness representations and coping characterized by catastrophizing, focusing on symptoms, avoidance, and venting predicted unfavorable outcomes. On the other hand, optimistic perceptions and coping by accommodating to the illness, approach strategies, and social support predicted favorable outcomes. Moreover, in addition to the direct associations between illness representations and outcomes, representations were also related to coping. Pessimistic representations predicted maladaptive coping (strategies that predicted unfavorable outcomes) and optimistic perceptions predicted adaptive coping (strategies that predicted favorable outcomes). Coping frequency was a better predictor of outcomes than perceptions of coping efficacy save for physical functioning. To examine change, analyses of differences within and between groups were conducted. When the sample was stratified into short (ill four years) and long illness duration groups (ill four years or more) the long duration group reported fewer health care visits. As a whole the respondents experienced little change in outcomes over a 21-month period but stratification demonstrated that the short illness duration group evidenced a small but statistically significant improvement in physical functioning while the long illness duration group reported less vitality. Coping and social support efficacy decreased over time although for the most part the frequency of self-management behaviors was quite stable. The implications of the study results for the management of CFS and future research were discussed.
Measurement of single top-quark production in association with a $W$ boson in the single-lepton channel at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: The production cross-section of a top quark in association with a $W$ boson is measured using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb$^{-1}$, and was collected in 2012 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The analysis is performed in the single-lepton channel. Events are selected by requiring one isolated lepton (electron or muon) and at least three jets. A neural network is trained to separate the $tW$ signal from the dominant $t\bar{t}$ background. The cross-section is extracted from a binned profile maximum-likelihood fit to a two-dimensional discriminant built from the neural-network output and the invariant mass of the hadronically decaying $W$ boson. The measured cross-section is $σ_{tW} = 26 \pm 7$ pb, in good agreement with the Standard Model expectation.

description: The impact of climate change (CC) on water resources is likely to affect agricultural systems and food security. This is especially true for Nepal, a least developed country, where a high percentage of the population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihoods. It is thus crucial for Nepal’s leaders and resource managers to draft and begin implementing national adaptation plans. This working paper aims to create a more comprehensive understanding of how the impacts of CC will be realized at different scales in Nepal, from household livelihoods to national food security, and the many institutions governing the ultimate adaptation process.

We apply the Hough transform to detect patterns in the time-frequency plane of the data produced by an earth-based gravitational wave detector. Two different flavors of searches will be considered, depending on the type of input to the Hough transform: either Fourier transforms of the detector data or the output of a coherent matched-filtering type search. We present the technical details for implementing the Hough transform algorithm for both kinds of searches, their statistical properties, and their sensitivities.

description: Single-ion Soret coefficients $α_{i}$ characterize the tendency of ions in an electrolyte solution to move in a thermal gradient. When these coefficients differ between cations and anions, an electric field can be generated. For this so-called electrolyte Seebeck effect to occur, the different thermodiffusive fluxes need to be blocked by boundaries -- electrodes, for example. Local charge neutrality is then broken in the Debye-length vicinity of the electrodes. Confusingly, many authors point to these regions as the source of the thermoelectric field yet ignore them in derivations of the time-dependent Seebeck coefficient $S(t)$, giving a false impression that the electrolyte Seebeck effect is purely a bulk phenomenon. Without enforcing local electroneutrality, we derive $S(t)$ generated by a binary electrolyte with arbitrary ionic valencies subject to a time-dependent thermal gradient. Next, we experimentally measure $S(t)$ for five acids, bases, and salts near titanium electrodes. For the steady state we find $S\approx2~\mathrm{mV~K}^{-1}$ for many electrolytes, roughly one order of magnitude larger than predictions based on literature $α_{i}$. We fit our expression for $S(t)$ to the experimental data, treating the $α_{i}$ as fit parameters, and also find larger-than-literature values, accordingly.

QGSJET-II: results for extensive air showers
Creators: name: Ostapchenko, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv

description: The new hadronic Monte Carlo model QGSJET-II is applied for extensive air shower (EAS) calculations. The obtained results are compared to the predictions of the original QGSJET and of the SIBYLL 2.1 interaction models. It is shown that non-linear effects change substantially model predictions for hadron-nucleus interactions and produce observable effects for calculated EAS characteristics. Finally the impact of the new model on the interpretation of air shower array data is discussed.

Minimax Dynamics of Optimally Balanced Spiking Networks of Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons

description: Excitation-inhibition (E-I) balance is ubiquitously observed in the cortex. Recent studies suggest an intriguing link between balance on fast timescales, tight balance, and efficient information coding with spikes. We further this connection by taking a principled approach to optimal balanced networks of excitatory (E) and inhibitory (I) neurons. By deriving E-I spiking neural networks from greedy spike-based optimizations of constrained minimax objectives, we show that tight balance arises from correcting for deviations from the minimax optima. We predict specific neuron firing rates in the network by solving the minimax problem, going beyond statistical theories of balanced networks. Finally, we design minimax objectives for reconstruction of an input signal, associative memory, and storage of manifold attractors, and derive from them E-I networks that perform the computation. Overall, we present a novel normative modeling approach for spiking E-I networks, going beyond the widely-used energy minimizing networks that violate Dale's law. Our networks can be used to model cortical circuits and computations.
description: There was a typo in Eq. 3 for the definition of firing rates, where we had e^{-(t-t')/\tau_E} in the integrand, which should be e^{-t'/\tau_E}, it is corrected in this version

Sphalerons in the Skyrme model
Creators: name: Krusch, Steffen
name: Sutcliffe, Paul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Numerical methods are used to compute sphaleron solutions of the Skyrme model. These solutions have topological charge zero and are axially symmetric, consisting of an axial charge n Skyrmion and an axial charge -n antiSkyrmion (with n greater than one), balanced in unstable equilibrium. The energy is slightly less than twice the energy of the axially symmetric charge n Skyrmion. A similar configuration with n=1 does not produce a sphaleron solution, and this difference is explained by considering the interaction of asymptotic pion dipole fields. For sphaleron solutions with n greater than four the positions of the Skyrmion and antiSkyrmion merge to form a circle, rather than isolated points, and there are some features in common with Hopf solitons of the Skyrme-Faddeev model.

Oxygen and nitrogen abundances in nearby galaxies. Correlations between oxygen abundance and macroscopic properties

description: We performed a compilation of more than 1000 published spectra of HII regions in spiral galaxies. The oxygen and nitrogen abundances in each HII region were recomputed in a homogeneous way, using the P-method. The radial distributions of oxygen and nitrogen abundances were derived. The correlations between oxygen abundance and macroscopic properties are examined. There is a significant difference between the L-Z relationship obtained here and that based on the oxygen abundances determined through the R_23-calibrations. The oxygen abundance of NGC 5457 recently determined using direct measurements of Te (Kennicutt, Bresolin & Garnett 2003) agrees with the L-Z relationship derived here, but is in conflict with the L-Z relationship derived with the R_23-based oxygen abundances. The obtained L-Z relation for spirals is compared to that for irregulars. Our sample of galaxies shows evidence that the slope of the O/H-M_B relationship for spirals is slightly more shallow than that for irregulars. The effective oxygen yields were estimated for spiral and irregular galaxies. The effective oxygen yield increases with increasing luminosity from M_B=-11 to M_B=-18 (or with increasing rotation velocity from Vrot=10 km/s to Vrot=100 km/s) and then remains approximately constant. Irregular galaxies from our sample have effective oxygen yields lowered by a factor of 3 at maximum, i.e. irregular galaxies usually keep at least 1/3 of the oxygen they manufactured during their evolution.

description: In this article, we investigate partial integrals and partial derivatives of bivariate fractal interpolation functions. We prove also that the mixed Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and derivative of order $γ= (p, q); p > 0,q > 0$, of bivariate fractal interpolation functions are again bivariate interpolation functions corresponding to some iterated function system (IFS). Furthermore, we discuss the integral transforms and fractional order integral transforms of the bivariate fractal interpolation functions.
