description: Typical products, mainly local food and wine, are considered suitable features to characterise the tourist supply of a destination and in many cases they are a major attraction of a territory. These products contain a strong reference to the territory in which they are produced. They simultaneously represent on the market a geographic area, its traditions and its cultural heritage, they identify a local community and its identity as well. Therefore typical products can be defined as ‘territorial intensive products’ (TIPs). Wine tourism represents the most innovative phenomenon of the more general tourism supply created around a TIP and certainly the most evident. The paper considers the importance of quality wine in Italy in helping to create the tourist supply of different territories through the creation of the Wine and Food Routes (WFRs) that represent a particular kind of tourist thematic itineraries. The paper confirms that quality wines are the ‘driver’ of WFRs creating a model of socioeconomic district.

description: This paper provides field evidence on the effects of diet on educational outcomes, exploiting a campaign lead in the UK in 2004, which introduced drastic changes in the meals, offered in the schools of one Borough – Greenwich - shifting from low-budget processed meals towards healthier options. We evaluate the effect of the campaign on educational outcomes in primary schools using a difference in differences approach; comparing educational outcomes in primary schools (key stage 2 outcomes more specifically) before and after the reform, using the neighbouring Local Education Authorities as a control group. We find evidence that educational outcomes did improve significantly in English and Science. We also find that the campaign lead to a 15% fall in authorised absences – which are most likely linked to illness and health.

description: We discuss how standard computable equilibrium models of trade policy can be enriched with selection effects without missing other important channels of adjustment. This is achieved by estimating and simulating a partial equilibrium model that accounts for a number of real world effects of trade liberalisation: richer availability of product varieties; tougher competition and weaker market power of firms; better exploitation of economies of scale; and, of course, efficiency gains via the selection of the most efficient firms. The model is estimated on E.U. data and simulated in counterfactual scenarios that capture several dimensions of European integration. Simulations suggest that the gains from trade are much larger in the presence of selection effects. Even in a relatively integrated economy as the E.U., dismantling residual trade barriers would deliver relevant welfare gains stemming from lower production costs, smaller markups, lower prices, larger firm scale and richer product variety. We believe our analysis provides enough ground to support the inclusion of firm heterogeneity and selection effects in the standard toolkit of trade policy evaluation.

description: Numerical integration and emulation are fundamental topics across scientific fields. We propose novel adaptive quadrature schemes based on an active learning procedure. We consider an interpolative approach for building a surrogate posterior density, combining it with Monte Carlo sampling methods and other quadrature rules. The nodes of the quadrature are sequentially chosen by maximizing a suitable acquisition function, which takes into account the current approximation of the posterior and the positions of the nodes. This maximization does not require additional evaluations of the true posterior. We introduce two specific schemes based on Gaussian and Nearest Neighbors (NN) bases. For the Gaussian case, we also provide a novel procedure for fitting the bandwidth parameter, in order to build a suitable emulator of a density function. With both techniques, we always obtain a positive estimation of the marginal likelihood (a.k.a., Bayesian evidence). An equivalent importance sampling interpretation is also described, which allows the design of extended schemes. Several theoretical results are provided and discussed. Numerical results show the advantage of the proposed approach, including a challenging inference problem in an astronomic dynamical model, with the goal of revealing the number of planets orbiting a star.

description: The higher category theory can be employed to generalize the BF action to the so-called 3BF action, by passing from the notion of a gauge group to the notion of a gauge 3-group. The theory of scalar electrodynamics coupled to Einstein-Cartan gravity can be formulated as a constrained 3BF theory for a specific choice of the gauge 3-group. The complete Hamiltonian analysis of the 3BF action for the choice of a Lie 3-group corresponding to scalar electrodynamics is performed. This analysis is the first step towards a canonical quantization of a 3BF theory, an important stepping stone for the quantization of the complete scalar electrodynamics coupled to Einstein-Cartan gravity formulated as a 3BF action with suitable simplicity constraints. It is shown that the resulting dynamic constraints eliminate all propagating degrees of freedom, i.e., the 3BF theory for this choice of a 3-group is a topological field theory, as expected.

description: We use spin-density-functional theory to study recently reported hysteretic magnetoresistance ρ_{xx} spikes in Mn-based 2D electron gases [Jaroszyński et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. (2002)]. We find hysteresis loops in our calculated Landau fan diagrams and total energies signaling quantum-Hall-ferromagnet phase transitions. Spin-dependent exchange-correlation effects are crucial to stabilize the relevant magnetic phases arising from distinct symmetry-broken excited- and ground-state solutions of the Kohn-Sham equations. Besides hysteretic spikes in ρ_{xx}, we predict hysteretic dips in the Hall resistance ρ_{xy}. Our theory, without domain walls, satisfactorily explains the recent data.

description: The performance of fiber mode-locked lasers is limited due to the high nonlinearity induced by the spatial confinement of the single-mode fiber core. To massively increase the pulse energy of the femtosecond pulses, amplification is obtained outside the oscillator. Recently, spatiotemporal mode-locking has been proposed as a new path to fiber lasers. However, the beam quality was either highly multimode and/or with low pulse energy. Here we present an approach to reach high energy per pulse directly in the mode-locked multimode fiber oscillator with a near single-mode output beam. Our approach relies on spatial self-beam cleaning via the nonlinear Kerr effect and we demonstrate a multimode fiber oscillator with M2<1.13 beam profile, up to 24 nJ energy and sub-100 fs compressed duration. The reported approach is further power scalable with larger core sized fibers and could benefit applications that require high power ultrashort lasers with commercially available optical fibers.

description: We consider a macroion confined to a cylindrical cell and neutralized by oppositely charged counterions. Exact results are obtained for the two-dimensional version of this problem, in which ion-ion and ion-macroion interactions are logarithmic. In particular, the threshold for counterion condensation is found to be the same as predicted by mean-field theory. With further increase of the macroion charge, a series of single-ion condensation transitions takes place. Our analytical results are expected to be exact in the vicinity of these transitions and are in very good agreement with recent Monte-Carlo simulation data.

description: We empirically analyze the labor supply choices of married men and women according to their body size (BMI), using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics on anthropometric characteristics of both spouses, and unmarried men and women as comparison group. Heavier husbands are found to work significantly more hours and earn more labor income, controlling for both spouses’ demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Conversely, no such effect is found for either unmarried individuals or for married women. We suggest a marriage market mechanism through which male BMI and earnings are positively related. Heavier married men compensate for their negative physical trait by providing their wives with more disposable income, working more hours and earning more. Heavier women may not able to compensate their spouse through labor supply, as female physical traits are more relevant in the marriage market than the corresponding male traits.

description: Municipalities across the country are in the process of implementing property rates on all property, following the Local Government: Property Rates Act (2004) that came into effect on 1 July 2005. This study investigates the economic impact of property rates on agricultural land, using a static computable general equilibrium model. The direct and indirect effects of property rates on the macro-economy, factor incomes, household welfare, prices and agricultural output are discussed. The results indicate that the impact of raising property rates depends on the use made of the additional revenue by government. There is a small negative impact on the economy and the overall welfare of households decline if government spends the additional revenue. On the other hand, if government allows a compensating reduction in sales taxes, the impact on the economy is positive and the overall welfare of households increase. However, the welfare of households in the Free State declines irrespective of the use made of the revenue. Introducing property rates has a marginal progressive impact on the welfare of households in the event of an increase in government expenditure or a reduction in sales taxes. Property rates do not influence prices directly and, irrespective of the use made of the revenue, the impact on production and resource allocation is limited.

Moreover, we investigate the site-resolved Hall response in spatially inhomogeneous quantum phases.

description: We investigate kinetic entropy-based measures of the non-Maxwellianity of distribution functions in plasmas, i.e., entropy-based measures of the departure of a local distribution function from an associated Maxwellian distribution function with the same density, bulk flow, and temperature as the local distribution. First, we consider a form previously employed by Kaufmann and Paterson [{\it J.~Geophys.~Res.,} {\bf 114}, A00D04 (2009)], assessing its properties and deriving equivalent forms. To provide a quantitative understanding of it, we derive analytical expressions for three common non-Maxwellian plasma distribution functions. We show that there are undesirable features of this non-Maxwellianity measure including that it can diverge in various physical limits and elucidate the reason for the divergence. We then introduce a new kinetic entropy-based non-Maxwellianity measure based on the velocity-space kinetic entropy density, which has a meaningful physical interpretation and does not diverge. We use collisionless particle-in-cell simulations of two-dimensional anti-parallel magnetic reconnection to assess the kinetic entropy-based non-Maxwellianity measures. We show that regions of non-zero non-Maxwellianity are linked to kinetic processes occurring during magnetic reconnection. We also show the simulated non-Maxwellianity agrees reasonably well with predictions for distributions resembling those calculated analytically. These results can be important for applications, as non-Maxwellianity can be used to identify regions of kinetic-scale physics or increased dissipation in plasmas.

The proposed model exploits an attention module and separable convolutions to identify salient time-frequency patterns in audio data to discriminate between normal and anomalous sounds with reduced computational complexity. The approach is validated through extensive experiments using the Task 2 dataset of the DCASE 2020 challenge. Results demonstrate superior performance in terms of anomaly detection accuracy while having fewer parameters than state-of-the-art methods.

A stochastic differential equation (the general Langevin equation with a multiplicative noise) that gives 1/f noise is derived for the first time. The solution of the equation exhibits the power-law distribution. The process with 1/f noise is demonstrated by the numerical solution of the derived equation with the appropriate restriction of the diffusion of the signal in some finite interval.

We try to establish a complex diagnosis about the role, effect and results of the foreign capital and EU subsidies – by analyzing advantages, disadvantages; positive, negative effects – in order to chart the problems to be avoided and missions to be reinforced – at the company and at the sector level – like structural reorganization of sectors, or necessity of developing company structures which contribute to identify the key necessary to the improvement of the competitiveness of the Hungarian food economy. Important strategic decisions are necessary: financial resources to investments; owners; developing structures; reinforce technological, logistical, organizational, HR, R+D and innovation background. The sugar is a strategic product and it is considered to be a strategic sector everywhere on the world. In our presentation we would like to present how this strategic sector had prospered and had disappeared during the last 15 years, and how the diversification takes place in Hungary.
The direct joint probability method for estimating extreme sea levels
Creators: name: Liu, Joan C. H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The design of coastal structures includes the key element of estimating crest elevation. A crest height designed to protect against specified return periods avoids damages due to overflowing and overtopping. In order to avoid overflowing, the design sea levels should be at least at the design flood level, also referred to as the extreme flood level, which is usually composed of tides and storm surges. The extreme flood level can be determined by several approaches, such as the Annual Maxima, Simple Addition, Joint Probability, and Revised Joint Probability Methods. These methods have various limitations in terms of the required amount of data, the representation of contributing factors in sea level fluctuations, the ability to assess the joint probability of these factors, and the degree of independence required of the data. To minimize overtopping, in addition to considering tides and storm surges, the design sea levels should also include wave run-up. The design sea level, also referred to as the extreme sea level, includes the effects of tides, storm surges, and wave run-up. Wave run-up estimates are generally based on the design flood level and design wave climate, data for which are often dependent. This thesis develops the Direct Joint Probability Method for estimating extreme sea levels which simultaneously considers tides, storm surges, and wave run-up. This method has fewer limitations than the previously mentioned methods in terms of the assumption of independent variables and the required amount of data. Data for the City of Richmond, British Columbia, Canada, are used to demonstrate the Direct Joint Probability Method, and results show that the method provides a reasonable estimate of extreme sea levels, that is, the resulting estimates are within the same range as other traditionally applied methods. The results also indicate a large difference between design sea levels required for preventing overflowing and those for preventing overtopping. The sea levels at Richmond are also increasing due to the climatic and geologic effects. A hybrid of the Direct Joint Probability and the Simple Addition Methods is also applied in this thesis and is used to estimate extreme sea levels for regions facing long-term increases in sea levels. The results of the hybrid approach indicate that the contribution to extreme sea level due to wave run-up increases with long-term increases in sea levels. This can dramatically affect estimates of extreme sea levels.
A new principle in the interpretability logic of all reasonable arithmetical theories

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)

description: The interpretability logic of a mathematical theory describes the structural behavior of interpretations over that theory. Different theories have different logics. This paper from 2011 revolves around the question what logic describes the behavior that is present in all theories with a minimum amount of arithmetic; the intersection over all such theories so to say. We denote this target logic by ${\textbf{IL}}({\rm All})$. In this paper we present a new principle $\sf R$ in ${\textbf{IL}}({\rm All})$. We show that $\sf R$ does not follow from the logic ${\textbf{IL}}{\sf P_0W^*}$ that contains all previously known principles. This is done by providing a modal incompleteness proof of ${\textbf{IL}}{\sf P_0W^*}$: showing that $\sf R$ follows semantically but not syntactically from ${\textbf{IL}}{\sf P_0W^*}$. Apart from giving the incompleteness proof by elementary methods, we also sketch how to work with so-called Generalized Veltman Semantics as to establish incompleteness. To this extent, a new version of this Generalized Veltman Semantics is defined and studied. Moreover, for the important principles the frame correspondences are calculated. After the modal results it is shown that the new principle $\sf R$ is indeed valid in any arithmetically theory. The proof employs some elementary results on definable cuts in arithmetical theories.

description: Consumption patterns of olive oil have changed over recent years influencing the supply chain. The consumption has increased in countries where olive oil is not part of the traditional diet as for example Germany and the UK, where the average consumption grew by 11 and 13% respectively during the period 1995-2003. The opening of new non-traditional markets has shifted exports and re-structured the supply chain. Mediterranean countries have been the traditional suppliers of olive oil with the EU Mediterranean Member States being the main exporters and with the non-EU Mediterranean countries trying to gain market shares in the EU markets in an attempt to benefit from the preferential access due to the Barcelona Agreement. This paper tries to identify which factors influenced olive oil demand of non-traditional consumers using Germany and the UK as case studies with the help of a gravity model. The results of the random effects models corrected for serial correlation and heteroskedasticity indicate that the Barcelona Agreement has boosted the non-EU Mediterranean exports to Germany and the UK while olive oil exports are positively related to direct marketing strategies and tourism, implying that these factors have the largest impact on the olive oil exports from producing countries and consequently on the overall supply chain.

description: First- and second-order phase transitions, Fulde-Ferrel (FF) inhomogeneous superconducting (SC) state and quantum criticality in ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet double tunnel junctions are investigated. For the antiparallel alignment of magnetizations, it is shown that a first-order phase transition from the homogeneous BCS state to the inhomogeneous FF state occurs at a certain bias voltage $V^{\ast}$; while the transitions from the BCS state and the FF state to the normal state at $% V_{c}$ are of the second-order. A phase diagram for the central superconductor is presented. In addition, a quantum critical point (QCP), $% V_{QCP}$, is identified. It is uncovered that near the QCP, the SC gap, the chemical potential shift induced by the spin accumulation, and the difference of free energies between the SC and normal states vanish as $% |V-V_{QCP}|^{zν}$ with the quantum critical exponents $zν=1/2$, 1 and 2, respectively. The tunnel conductance and magnetoresistance are also discussed.

description: Student performance prediction is critical to online education. It can benefit many downstream tasks on online learning platforms, such as estimating dropout rates, facilitating strategic intervention, and enabling adaptive online learning. Interactive online question pools provide students with interesting interactive questions to practice their knowledge in online education. However, little research has been done on student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Existing work on student performance prediction targets at online learning platforms with predefined course curriculum and accurate knowledge labels like MOOC platforms, but they are not able to fully model knowledge evolution of students in interactive online question pools. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to achieve better student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Specifically, we model the relationship between students and questions using student interactions to construct the student-interaction-question network and further present a new GNN model, called R^2GCN, which intrinsically works for the heterogeneous networks, to achieve generalizable student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world dataset consisting of 104,113 mouse trajectories generated in the problem-solving process of over 4000 students on 1631 questions. The experiment results show that our approach can achieve a much higher accuracy of student performance prediction than both traditional machine learning approaches and GNN models.

description: The impressive volumes of wheat production in Russia on the one hand, and the good baking quality of Russian wheat on the other hand enabled Russia to become one of the important wheat producers and exporters of the world since the recent few years. However Russia has a long way to go in the “front” of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS), i.e. food safety, standards. As part of a larger study, financed by the German Research Foundation, the current research addresses the objective of estimating the potentials of wheat production in Russia under more stringent food safety standards as the current Russian national SPS regulations are. The comparative advantage analysis based on the Domestic Resource Cost approach (DRC) is applied to estimate the possible compliance of Russian norms with EU SPS standards. The DRC analysis resulting in a ratio of 0,37 provides evidence of high social profitability of wheat chain in Stavropol region. Also the scenarios of compliance of Russian food safety norms with those of EU offers plausible solutions with DRC ratios varying within the range of 0,49 – 0,96 dependent on the fluctuations of model parameters. This is the third paper from the series of analysis of competitiveness of the Russian wheat sector under different food safety policies. The first paper estimated the policy of the full enforcement of national SPS regulations . The second work assessed the policy of compliance with the international SPS norms and considered also the sensitivity analysis under this policy. As far as the EU SPS norms are more stringent as the international standards, there is a necessity to assess also this policy option.

description: Since 1994 Argentinean government implemented the diversification policy to reduce wine supply in the domestic market and stabilize prices through reducing the share of grapes allocated for wine production in favour of must production. The policy has set a minimum percentage of grapes for concentrated grape must (CGM) production for every wine maker. The research aims to investigate the effects of the policy on the sector applying spatial equilibrium analysis, based on the model of Interregional Trade of Wine products in Argentina. The qualitative analysis of the sector under the current policy revealed, that the policy had a) no impact on the grape segment, b) a slight positive impact on grape must production due to 14% increased grapes reallocated from wine sector, and c) an expected but modest 20% decrease of wine production. The anticipated increase of wine and grapes prices was not observed. Moreover the policy affects largely the optimal recourse allocation process, because it encourages CGM production among others also in those regions, which have non favourable agro-climatic conditions for CGM production. The advantageous development of CGM segment benefiting from “infant industry argument” of the policy is although a positive outcome, on the long run it will cause stagnation and discourage investments for advanced technologies. The elimination of the diversification policy will ensure the competitive development of this emerging industry.
Relating Leptogenesis to Low Energy Flavor Violating Observables in Models with Spontaneous CP Violation

description: In the minimal left-right symmetric model, there are only two intrinsic CP violating phases to account for all CP violation in both the quark and lepton sectors, if CP is broken spontaneously by the complex phases in the VEV's of the scalar fields. In addition, the left- and right-handed Majorana mass terms for the neutrinos are proportional to each other due to the parity in the model. This is thus a very constrained framework, making the existence of correlations among the CP violation in leptogenesis, neutrino oscillation and neutrinoless double beta decay possible. In these models, CP violation in the leptonic sector and CP violation in the quark sector are also related. We find, however, that such connection is rather weak due to the large hierarchy in the bi-doublet VEV required by a realistic quark sector.

description: Deformation spaces Hom($π$,G)/G of representations of the fundamental group $π$ of a surface $Σ$ in a Lie group $G$ admit natural actions of the mapping class group $Mod_Σ$, preserving a Poisson structure. When $G$ is compact, the actions are ergodic. In contrast if $G$ is noncompact semisimple, the associated deformation space contains open subsets containing the Fricke-Teichmüller space upon which $Mod_Σ$ acts properly. Properness of the $Mod_Σ$-action relates to (possibly singular) locally homogeneous geometric structures on $Σ$. We summarize known results and state open questions about these actions.
