description: Eight production quality PbWO4 crystals of CMS have been irradiated in a 20 GeV/c proton beam up to fluences of 5.4E13cm-2. The damage recovery in these crystals has been followed for over a year. Comparative irradiations with 60Co photons have been performed on seven other crystals using a dose rate of 1 kGy/h. In proton irradiated crystals the light transmission band-edge shifts and the induced absorption length is proportional to the inverse of the 4th power of the wavelength. In gamma-irradiated crystals the band-edge does not shift but formation of absorption bands is seen clearly. The absorption length induced by gamma-radiation in crystals verified to have excellent radiation hardness, saturates at a level below 0.5 m-1. In the case of protons, we observe no correlation with the pre-characterised radiation hardness of the crystals and the induced absorption increases linearly with fluence. After a fluence of 5E13 cm-2, an induced absorption length of approx. 15m-1 is seen with no sign of saturation. These observations provide strong evidence that high-energy protons create damage that cannot be reproduced with gamma-irradiation. However, these hadronic effects manifest themselves only at integral fluences well beyond 1E12cm-2 and most likely would escape undetected at lower fluences. A large fraction of the damage, both in proton- and gamma-irradiated crystals, is either stable or recovers very slowly.

description: Quantum transport in a narrow constriction, and in the presence of a finite-range time-modulated potential, is studied. The potential is taken the form $V(x,t) = V_{0} θ(x)θ(a-x)\cos(ωt)$, with $a$ the range of the potential and $x$ the transmission direction. As the chemical potential $μ$ is increasing, the dc conductance $G$ is found to exhibit dip, or peak, structures when $μ$ is at $n\hbarω$ above the threshold energy of a subband. These structures in $G$ are found in both the small $a$ ($a \ll λ_{F}$) and the large $a$ ($a \gg λ_{F}$) regime. The dips, which are associated with the formation of quasi-bound states, are narrower for smaller $a$, and for smaller $V_{0}$. The locations of these dips are essentially fixed, with small shifts only in the case of large $V_{0}$. Our results can be reduced to the limiting case of a delta-profile oscillating potential when both $a$ and $V_{0}a$ are small. The assumed form of the time-modulated potential is expected to be realized in a gate-induced potential configuration.

description: In the subsistence-oriented, semi-arid production systems of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, India, the environment is marginal for crop growth and often there is no substitute for millet crops. Across communities, farmers grow thirteen different combinations of pearl millet, sorghum, finger millet, little millet, and foxtail millet varieties, but individual farmers grow an average of only two to three millet varieties per season. The notion of the seed system includes all channels through which farmers acquire genetic materials, outside or in interaction with the commercial seed industry. Data are compiled through household surveys and interviews with traders and dealers in village and district markets. Based on the concept of the seed lot, several characteristics of local seed markets are defined and measured by millet crop, including seed transfer rates for farmer-to-farmer transactions and seed replacement ratios. Most seed transactions appear to be based on money. Seed supply channels differ by improvement status of the genetic material. Econometric results indicate the significance of the seed replacement ratios and seed volumes traded in determining the levels of crop biodiversity managed by communities, in addition to the household, farm and other market-related factors identified by previous studies. These are interpreted as indicators of market strength.

description: Action delays degrade the performance of reinforcement learning in many real-world systems. This paper proposes a formal definition of delay-aware Markov Decision Process and proves it can be transformed into standard MDP with augmented states using the Markov reward process. We develop a delay-aware model-based reinforcement learning framework that can incorporate the multi-step delay into the learned system models without learning effort. Experiments with the Gym and MuJoCo platforms show that the proposed delay-aware model-based algorithm is more efficient in training and transferable between systems with various durations of delay compared with off-policy model-free reinforcement learning methods.

Why Clarence Clemons died : power, narrative, and the death of a "Negro Longshoreman" in Vancouver, 1952-53
Creators: name: Porth, Ryan Burnard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Knowledge is rarely neutral and the bodies of knowledge that humans create have been responsible for many social inequalities, especially, but not limited to, inequalities based on racial beliefs. For the period before the Second World War in British Columbia, when the dominant white community constructed its identity largely by discriminating against and marginalizing smaller, non-white communities, the historical realities of racial knowledge have been well studied. In this essay I argue that even after the Second World War, as the spirit of liberalism swept across white Canada, the old language of race was merely subsumed within a language largely cleansed of its racial references. Regardless of this shift in public language, in the early 1950s, Vancouver's dominant white community still constructed its identity by marginalizing others. Knowledge, however, as the case of Clarence demons shows, was also used to challenge unequal relations of power. At the coroner's inquest held to look into the untimely death of demons, a black shoreworker from the Strathcona neighbourhood of East Vancouver, two very different stories emerged, demons had been allegedly beaten by two white police officers on July 19, 1952. The first story, told by most of the white doctors and police officers, and accepted by the white jury, demonstrates how Vancouver's dominant (white) community continued to marginalize the City's non-white peoples in the postwar period. The second story, however, told by most of the witnesses from the Strathcona neighbourhood, based on local, intimate knowledge of Clemons, was ignored by the jury's verdict but formed the basis of an increasingly organized and public voice against racial discrimination by the African Canadian residents of Strathcona. The narratives about Clarence Clemons exemplify how complex bodies of knowledge that humans create about themselves and others - in this case, knowledge shaped and influenced primarily by notions of race but also by notions of class and gender - can form the basis of attempts to maintain, and resist, relations of social inequality.

description: In understanding decreases in demand after exposure to media-induced food scares, aggregate data are almost exclusively presented without taking into consideration potential confounding variables. However, a better approach may be to use an experimental design coupled with targeting homogeneous willingness-to-pay (WTP) subgroups based on similarities in behavioral, psychological, and demographic characteristics of those who are most vulnerable to food scare information. This is accomplished through experimental economics and an analysis strategy called a classification and regression tree (CART). A stigma framework—which guides conceptual understanding of effects of media-induced food scares—suggests controlling contextual variables to better approximate ceteris paribus. To this end, we conducted an experiment that exposed people to information about mad cow disease and then asked them to bid their willingness-to-pay for an actual hamburger. The CART found distinct homogeneous WTP subgroups of individuals that could be used by government and industry professionals to create interventions to reduce potential consumer concern and producer losses.

description: In the light of recent experimental data on gaugino searches, we revisit the direct-transmission model of dynamical supersymmery breaking with the gravitino mass m_{\tilde{G}}\leq 16 eV, which does not have any cosmological or astrophysical problems. We find that in the consistent regions of parameter space, the model predicts not only upper bounds on superparticle masses (1.1 TeV, 320 GeV, 160 GeV, 5 TeV, 1.5 TeV and 700 GeV for gluino, Wino, Bino, squarks, left-handed sleptons and right-handed sleptons, respectively), but also a mass of the lightest messenger particle in the range of 10-50 TeV. The lightest messenger particle can naturally be a messenger sneutrino. Therefore, this may suggest that the messenger sneutrino could be the dark matter, as proposed recently by Hooper and March-Russel to account for the gamma-ray spectrum from the galactic center observed by HESS experiment.

description: Percolation theory can be used to describe the structural properties of complex networks using the generating function formulation. This mapping assumes that the network is locally tree-like and does not contain short-range loops between neighbours. In this paper we use the generating function formulation to examine clustered networks that contain simple cycles and cliques of any order. We use the natural generalisation to the Molloy-Reed criterion for these networks to describe their critical properties and derive an analytical description of the size of the giant component, providing solutions for Poisson and power-law networks. We find that networks comprising larger simple cycles behave increasingly more tree-like. Conversley, clustering comprised of larger cliques increasingly deviate from the tree-like solution, although the behaviour is strongly dependent on the degree-assortativity.

description: In response to increasing customer attention to food attributes, agribusinesses are employing novel product differentiation strategies. As an example, we investigate the use of food safety claims on new packaged food products from the food manufacturers’ perspective. First, using two product innovation databases, we investigate claim use on labels in seven English-speaking countries over the period from 1980 to 2008. Then, based on manufacturer recommended selling prices and using U.S. data (from 2002 to 2008), we apply parametric and nonparametric hedonic methods to identify supply-side (agribusiness) valuations of chemical and microbiological claims in two food categories. We identify a significant 5 cent premium per ounce for a “preservative free” claim in spoonable yogurts. We do not find a statistically significant impact for “E. coli free” messages on meat and poultry products but find a significant price premium (19.3 cents and 25.7 cents per ounce in the two models) for “antibiotic free” claims in this category.

description: A lack of data often makes biological management decisions difficult and has been an area of contention in the debate over the approval of transgenic crops. Our knowledge of natural systems is limited and our ability to gain additional information, quickly and effectively, is often handicapped by statistical complexity. To adequately cope with this requires new approaches and models that integrate decision-making and management. This paper describes one possible approach to the integration of decision-making and management, which may have application for the regulatory approval of transgenic crops. In many situations countries wishing to approve transgenic crops will have limited data on the environmental performance of the crop. The approach outlined in this paper looks at how related information, possibly collected from other countries, might be used to help inform decisions about the approval of transgenic crops. This is done within an integrated decision-making and management framework.

Assuming the absolute continuity of R with respect to P\otimes Q, we prove the existence of a regular conditional probability {T_y:y\in Y} and liftings \varpi on (X\times Y,\mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB,\hat R), ρ' on (Y,\mathfrakB,\hat Q) and σ_y on (X,\hat \mathfrakA_y,\hat S_y), y\in Y, such that, for every E\in\mathfrakA \hat \otimes_R \mathfrakB and every y\in Y, [\varpi(E)]^y=σ_y\bigl([\varpi(E)]^y\bigr) and \varpi(A\times B)=\bigcup_{y\inρ'(B)}σ_y(A)\times{y}\qquadif A\times B\in\mathfrakA\times\mathfrakB. Both results are generalizations of Musiał, Strauss and Macheras [Fund. Math. 166 (2000) 281-303] to the case of measures which are not necessarily products of marginal measures. We prove also that liftings obtained in this paper always convert \hat R-measurable stochastic processes into their \hat R-measurable modifications.

description: The purpose of the research paper is to characterize biological diversity related to millets in the semi-arid regions of India at various spatial scales of analysis (e.g., farm household versus community levels) and place that evidence in a broader seed systems (includes both formal and informal) context. An important finding of this research is that producer access to millet genetic resources is affected by the extent to which seed is traded via formal markets or through other social institutions, along with farm and household characteristics. Findings also underscore the need for an enhanced theoretical understanding of local seed markets in analyzing crop variety choices and the diversity of materials grown in less favored environments.

description: There is often a need to respond quickly to assess the likely implications of policy changes. Here, an equilibrium displacement model is adapted to study international bans on U.S. beef. An equilibrium displacement model offers a convenient way of quickly predicting the effects of supply and demand shocks. The equilibrium displacement model used here has an international sector, which allows the study of issues that past models with only a domestic sector could not. The estimated welfare loss of U.S. beef producers, due to both Japanese and South Korean bans after the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United States, is $565.31 million.
Quark asymmetries in the proton from a model for parton densities

description: Based on quantum fluctuations in momentum and of the proton into meson-baryon pairs, we develop a physical model for the non-perturbative x-shape of parton density functions in the proton. The model describes the proton structure function and gives a natural explanation of observed quark asymmetries, such as the difference between the anti-up and anti-down sea quark distributions and between the up and down valence distributions. An asymmetry in the momentum distribution of strange and anti-strange quarks in the nucleon is found to reduce the NuTeV anomaly to a level which does not give a significant indication of physics beyond the standard model.

description: An important problem encountered by both natural and engineered signal processing systems is blind source separation. In many instances of the problem, the sources are bounded by their nature and known to be so, even though the particular bound may not be known. To separate such bounded sources from their mixtures, we propose a new optimization problem, Bounded Similarity Matching (BSM). A principled derivation of an adaptive BSM algorithm leads to a recurrent neural network with a clipping nonlinearity. The network adapts by local learning rules, satisfying an important constraint for both biological plausibility and implementability in neuromorphic hardware.

description: In some developing countries the potential exists for agroterrorism to cause widespread disruption through loss of sustenance, income and production. Defense of agriculture may also be problematic because of the lack stability and basic biosecurity infrastructure for the detection and prevention of diseases or invasive species. Currently new methodological approaches for terrorism risk assessments are being actively explored for resource prioritization. One such methodology for risk based allocation of resources is Threat, Vulnerability, and Consequence (TVC) Analysis. A qualitative application of the TVC framework is used to analyze the risk of agroterrorism in developing countries relative to industrialized countries. The analysis suggests that evidence exists to demonstrate general terrorist threats, vulnerability of agriculture and, depending on the country, potentially serious consequences arising from argoterrorism. Where specific threats emerge, action may be needed by the international community to strengthen biosecurity systems in developing countries through: increasing global cooperation, capacity building in monitoring, remediation and risk analysis technologies, and the dissemination of novel technologies for control of pests and diseases.

description: The structure of many real networks is not locally tree-like and hence, network analysis fails to characterise their bond percolation properties. In a recent paper [P. Mann, V. A. Smith, J. B. O. Mitchell, and S. Dobson, Percolation in random graphs with higher-order clustering, arXiv e-prints, p. arXiv:2006.06744, June 2020.], we developed analytical solutions to the percolation properties of random networks with homogeneous clustering (clusters whose nodes are degree-equivalent). In this paper, we extend this model to investigate networks that contain clusters whose nodes are not degree-equivalent, including multilayer networks. Through numerical examples we show how this method can be used to investigate the properties of random complex networks with arbitrary clustering, extending the applicability of the configuration model and generating function formulation.

description: Chemical functionalization of nanocarbons is an important strategy to produce electrochemical systems with higher energy/power density by generating surface functional groups with additional faradaic contribution, by increasing their surface area and correspondent capacitive contribution and by improving compatibility with aqueous electrolytes and other active materials, such as pseudocapacitive metal-oxides. Here we present an electrochemical method to simultaneously swell and functionalize large electrodes consisting of fabrics of macroscopic fibers of carbon nanotubes that renders the material hydrophilic and produces a substantial increase of specific capacitance and energy density in aqueous electrolytes. Through in-depth characterization of the carbon nanotube fibres (CNTF) by Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectrocn spectroscopy (XPS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) we identify various contributions to such improvements, including surface oxidation, tubular unzipping, debundling and inter-bundle swelling. Changes in hydrophilicity of functionalized CNTF are determined by analyzing the dynamics of spreading of polar and nonpolar liquids in the electrode. The extracted contact angles and polar and dispersive surface energy components for different treatment conditions are in agreement with changes in dipole-moment obtained by XPS. Finally, functionalized CNTF electrodes were employed in current collector-free solid flexible supercapacitors, which show enhanced electrochemical properties compared to as-produced hydrophobic ones.

subject: 180115 Intellectual Property Law

description: The article discusses the history of the origin and development of copyright in the Great Britain and United States. The main stages of the formation of copyright in these countries are studied. The most significant legal acts regulating relations in the field of copyright of the United Kingdom and the United States are analyzed. The influence of international legal acts in the field of copyright protection on the national legislation of these countries is studied. The article identifies the peculiarities inherent in each country in the field of copyright protection, as well as their similarities. It is concluded that although the British model of copyright protection was originally adopted by the United States, it has its own characteristics. However, now again there is a convergence of data due to the regulation of this issue by the norms of international law.

The Emergence of Insect Resistance in Bt-Corn: Implication of Resistance Management Information Under Uncertainty

description: The successful management of transgenic technology is likely to depend on the economic behavioral response of farmers to the regulated use of transgenic crops. A well-studied example is the widespread use of Bt-corn, in the United States, and elsewhere, to control the European Corn Borer, a major corn pest. The extensive use of Bt-corn has led to concerns about the emergence of insect resistance. The United States Environment Protection Agency addressed this potential problem by developing an insect resistance management strategy, based, in part, on complex mathematical models using detailed biological assumptions about the population genetics and life history of the European Corn Borer. However, seed companies and others have sometimes used simpler deterministic profit models to justify the economics of Bt-corn to potential growers. Therefore an over reliance, by regulatory agencies, on complex modeling approaches may obscure the likely economic behavioral response of farmers who rely on these less complex models. However, the determinants of adoption are numerous, profit being one of them. We develop a simple model for the spread of resistance based on the logistic growth equation and use it to investigate the effect of uncertainty on farmer decisions to plant Bt-corn and follow EPA management rules. The model results suggest that planting Bt-corn is an optimal strategy under the type of uncertainty assumed in the model and that short-term economic behavior is likely to lead to the Environment Protection Agency management rules not being followed. Our results add weight to existing work on this problem.
Interpretations of gamma-ray burst spectroscopy. I. Analytical and numerical study of spectral lags

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We describe the strong spectral evolution that occurs during a gamma-ray burst pulse and the means by which it can be analyzed. Based on observed empirical correlations, an analytical model is constructed which is used to describe the pulse shape and quantize the spectral lags and their dependences on the spectral evolution parameters. We find that the spectral lag depends mainly on the pulse-decay time-scale and that hard spectra (with large spectral power-law indices alpha) give the largest lags. Similarly, large initial peak-energies, Eo, lead to large lags, except in the case of very soft spectra. The hardness ratio is found to depend only weakly on alpha and the HIC index, eta. In particular, for low Eo, it is practically independent, and is determined mainly by Eo. The relation between the hardness ratio and the lags, for a certain Eo are described by power-laws, as alpha varies. We also discuss the expected signatures of a sample of hard spectral pulses (e.g. thermal or small pitch-angle synchrotron emission) versus soft spectral pulses (e.g. optically-thin synchrotron emission). Also the expected differences between a sample of low energetic bursts (such as X-ray flashes) and of high energetic bursts (classical bursts) are discussed.

description: The influence of climate variability on agricultural production and financial risks faced by an individual or an institution has been the center of the public discussion in the recent years. The changing weather patterns and environmental conditions could cause substantial unpredicted economic loss. Failure to capture the changing climate would underestimate the insurance contract’s expected indemnity and further create a major obstacle for insurance sectors. In this paper, we undertake a case study of El Niño-Southern Oscillation Index insurance for coastal Peru proposed by Skees. We examined the behavior of El Niño dynamics and found El Niño indices are changing over time. A class of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) - family process that allows the disturbance variance to vary over time is used to design and rate the El Niño-Southern Oscillation Index insurance contract.

description: We investigate the influence of spontaneous symmetry breaking on the decoherence of a many-particle quantum system. This decoherence process is analyzed in an exactly solvable model system that is known to be representative of symmetry broken macroscopic systems in equilibrium. It is shown that spontaneous symmetry breaking imposes a fundamental limit to the time that a system can stay quantum coherent. This universal timescale is $t_{spon} \simeq 2πN \hbar / (k_B T)$, given in terms of the number of microscopic degrees of freedom $N$, temperature $T$, and the constants of Planck ($\hbar$) and Boltzmann ($k_B$).

Chirality of the gravitational-wave background and pulsar-timing arrays

description: We describe the signatures of a circularly polarized gravitational-wave background on the timing residuals obtained with pulsar-timing arrays. Most generally, the circular polarization will depend on the gravitational-wave direction, and we describe this angular dependence in terms of spherical harmonics. While the amplitude of the monopole (the overall chirality of the gravitational-wave background) cannot be detected, measures of the anisotropy are theoretically conceivable. We provide expressions for the minimum-variance estimators for the circular-polarization anisotropy. We evaluate the smallest detectable signal as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio with which the isotropic GW signal is detected and the number of pulsars (assumed to be roughly uniformly spread throughout the sky) in the survey. We find that the overall dipole of the circular polarization and a few higher overall multipoles, are detectable in a survey with $\gtrsim100$ pulsars if their amplitude is close to maximal and once the isotropic signal is established with a signal-to-noise ratio $\gtrsim400$. Even if the anisotropy can be established, though, there will be limited information on its direction. Similar arguments apply to astrometric searches for gravitational waves.
