description: The present work had as its main objective to identify and characterize milk production systems through methods of multivaried statistical analysis. Factorial analysis, cluster, discriminant and canonical correlation were utilized. The production gradation and defrayal were the main classification criterium among the productors. Combining the results obtained with the cluster analysis and the canonical correlation analysis, the second classification analysis aggregates the grazing lands and the care with the flock health. Three productors groups were identified, among which the first one is prominent for aggregating about 90% of the total analyzed and is composed by relatively smaller productors. The discriminant analysis and the measuring among financial indicators confirm such classification.

description: We study a non-Abelian gauge theory with a pseudo scalar coupling ϕε^{μναβ} F_{μν}^a F_{αβ}^a in the case where a constant chromo-electric, or chromo-magnetic, strength expectation value is present. We compute the interaction potential within the framework of gauge-invariant, path-dependent, variables formalism. While in the case of a constant chromo-electric field strength expectation value the static potential remains Coulombic, in the case of a constant chromo-magnetic field strength the potential energy is the sum of a Coulombic and a linear potentials, leading to the confinement of static charges.

On the Valuation of Companies with Growth Opportunities

description: Each company faces day to day investment opportunities. Just by staying in business the company is taking a decision of reinvesting capital. These opportunities have to be fairly valued to overcome misallocation of resources. A project with high growth opportunities requires high reinvestments to take full advantage of them until it reaches its mature stage. These investments can be seen as a succession of call options on future growth. When a company with such prospects is valued using the discounted cash flow technique and growth is taken implicitly in the growing cash flows and the residual value, the value thus obtained will be higher than the true one (under certain circumstances). Technology advances and the effects of globalization create enormous growth opportunities, and so misvaluation risks are higher.

description: The inviscid 2D Boussinesq system with thermal diffusivity and multiplicative noise of transport type is studied in the $L^2$-setting. It is shown that, under a suitable scaling of the noise, weak solutions to the stochastic 2D Boussinesq equations converge weakly to the unique solution of the deterministic viscous Boussinesq system. Consequently, the transport noise asymptotically regularizes the inviscid 2D Boussinesq system and enhances dissipation in the limit.

description: We employ the Rosse-Panzar test to assess market performance in selected airport-pairs originating from Atlanta. The Rosse-Panzar test stands in the tradition of the New Empirical Industrial Organization. It is based on the comparative statics of a reduced form revenue equation. Therefore, it is less powerful than structural models, but it offers the advantage of less stringent data requirements and reduces the risk of model misspecifications. The test statistic allows us in most airport-pairs to reject both conducts consistent with the Bertrand outcome, which is equivalent to perfect competition, and the collusive outcome, which is equivalent to joint profit-maximization. Rather, the test statistic suggests that behavior is consistent with a range of intermediate outcomes between the two extremes, including, but not limited to the Cournot oligopoly. In the second part of the paper, a cross-section pricing regression complements the Rosse-Panzar test. It shows that the presence of low-cost competition in an airport-pair reduces the average fare significantly.

description: A few years after its discovery as a magnetar, SGR J1935+2154 started a new burst-active phase on 2020 April 27, accompanied by a large enhancement of its X-ray persistent emission. Radio single bursts were detected during this activation, strengthening the connection between magnetars and fast radio bursts. We report on the X-ray monitoring of SGR J1935+2154 from ~3 days prior to ~3 weeks after its reactivation, using Swift, NuSTAR, and NICER. We detected X-ray pulsations in the NICER and NuSTAR observations, and constrained the spin period derivative to |Pdot| < 3e-11 s/s (3 sigma c.l.). The pulse profile showed a variable shape switching between single and double-peaked as a function of time and energy. The pulsed fraction decreased from ~34% to ~11% (5-10 keV) over ~10 days. The X-ray spectrum was well fit by an absorbed blackbody model with temperature decreasing from kT ~ 1.6 to 0.45-0.6 keV, plus a non-thermal component (Gamma ~ 1.2) observed up to ~25 keV with NuSTAR. The 0.3-10 keV X-ray luminosity (at 6.6 kpc) increased in less than four days from ~ 6e33 erg/s to about 3e35 erg/s and then decreased again to 2.5e34 erg/s over the following three weeks of the outburst. We also detected several X-ray bursts, with properties typical of short magnetar bursts.

Use of one price regardless of location results I higher average costs to patrons than pricing products to reflect cost to each region. Transportation costs are increased using uniform pricing. Cost effects are small and may be offset by other benefits of uniform pricing.

description: This article examines the operating cost structure of 15 cooperatively owned fluid milk processing plants. The selected plants range from small, low-volume facilities to large, high-volume plants with varying levels of capital and labor inputs. Operating costs are presented for the plants by converting monthly fiscal data to averages and grouping the plants by relative processing volume. The functional relationship between total and unit costs and average plant volume is estimated. Processing cost per gallon declines by 1.6 percent for a 10 percent increase in plant volume. Approximately 85 percent of the reduction in unit cost is attributable to lower labor, packaging, energy, repair, maintenance, and depreciation costs.
Policy Considerations Related to Further Intervention in the Farm Credit System

description: The Farm Credit System Is a major participant in extending credit to and brokering losses from the agricultural sector during the current adjustment process. This article focuses on the problems faced by the system as a cooperative lender with relatively little diversity in its loan portfolio. Assistance to the system should be accompanied by organizational and structural changes that address the fundamental reasons for its vulnerability. Conditions suggest three basic choices: (1) preservation of the system in recognizable form, (2) decentralization to the district level, or (3) a shift toward a wholesaling function. One realistic alternative would involve a combination of these approaches.

description: North American agricultural economists are beginning to reexamine fundamental issues in the theory of agricultural cooperation. Since 1980, a number of researchers have explored the basic nature of farmer cooperation; the theoretical benefits and limits to cooperative enterprise; and the implications of these for cooperative members, managers, and public policy. This paper describes and evaluates recent theoretical developments, outlines remaining areas of conflict and gaps in the theory of agricultural cooperation, and discusses topics for future research. It concludes that the most promising area for current research may be in testing hypotheses arising from recent theoretical work.

description: We report a new implementation of multireference algebraic diagrammatic construction theory (MR-ADC) for simulations of electron attachment and ionization in strongly correlated molecular systems (EA/IP-MR-ADC). Following our recent work on IP-MR-ADC [J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2019, 15, 5908], we present the first implementation of the second-order MR-ADC method for electron attachment (EA-MR-ADC(2)), as well as two extended second-order approximations (EA- and IP-MR-ADC(2)-X) that incorporate a partial treatment of third-order electron correlation effects. Introducing a small approximation for the second-order amplitudes of the effective Hamiltonian, our implementation of EA- and IP-MR-ADC(2)-X has a low O(M^5) computational scaling with the basis set size M. Additionally, we describe an efficient algorithm for solving the first-order amplitude equations in MR-ADC and partially-contracted second-order N-electron valence perturbation theory (NEVPT2) that completely avoids computation of the four-particle reduced density matrices without introducing any approximations or imaginary-time propagation. For a benchmark set of eight small molecules, carbon dimer, and a twisted ethylene, we demonstrate that EA- and IP-MR-ADC(2)-X achieve accuracy similar to that of strongly-contracted NEVPT2, while having a lower computational scaling with the active space size and providing efficient access to transition properties.

description: We study static quantum corrections of the Schwarzschild metric in the Boulware vacuum state. Due to the absence of a complete analytic expression for the full semiclassical Einstein equations we approach the problem by considering the s-wave approximation and solve numerically the associated backreaction equations. The solution, including quantum effects due to pure vacuum polarization, is similar to the classical Schwarzschild solution up to the vicinity of the classical horizon. However, the radial function has a minimum at a time-like surface close to the location of the classical event horizon. There the g_{00} component of the metric reaches a very small but non-zero value. The analysis unravels how a curvature singularity emerges beyond this bouncing point. We briefly discuss the physical consequences of these results by extrapolating them to a dynamical collapsing scenario.

Regulation of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme-associated cyclin-dependent kinase SRB10
Creators: name: Goto, Susan Lisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Saccharomyces cerevisiae SRB10 is a cyclin-dependent kinase associated with the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme. Although originally identified based on its role in CTD function and subsequently demonstrated to be a CTD kinase, more recent evidence has revealed another aspect of SRB10 function with respect to transcriptional regulation. SRB10 has been shown to phosphorylate several transcriptional activators involved in cellular metabolism and environmental stress responses, leading to speculation that SRB10 function is modulated in response to signals regarding the overall environmental and physiological status of the cell in order to effect appropriate levels of transcription. However, the signals and mechanisms that regulate SRB10 function are currently unknown. The goal of this research was to determine if and how SRB10 kinase activity is regulated in response to specific nutritional conditions. Data presented in this thesis demonstrate that SRB10 is negatively regulated by nitrogen limitation. In vitro kinase assays performed with SRB10 immunoprecipitated from yeast grown in nitrogen-limiting conditions revealed a transient reduction in kinase activity. In contrast, no significant effect on the in vitro kinase activity of immunoprecipitated SRB10 was observed for yeast grown in non-fermentable versus fermentable carbon sources. Down-regulation of SRB10 in response to nitrogen limitation is achieved through depletion of SRB10 protein levels, which occurs through a decrease in the stability of the SRB10 protein, representing a novel mechanism of cyclin-dependent kinase regulation.

In some cooperatives, the membership policy is based only on the capital plan. This article presents alternative membership policies for the acquisition and transfer of rights to original members. Specific policy alternatives for each component are defined and examined. The analysis suggests that strategic planning in some cooperatives should involve explicit consideration of alternatives for membership policy.

description: With the global transformation of the fashion industry and a rise in the demand for fashion items worldwide, the need for an effectual fashion recommendation has never been more. Despite various cutting-edge solutions proposed in the past for personalising fashion recommendation, the technology is still limited by its poor performance on new entities, i.e. the cold-start problem. In this paper, we attempt to address the cold-start problem for new users, by leveraging a novel visual preference modelling approach on a small set of input images. We demonstrate the use of our approach with feature-weighted clustering to personalise occasion-oriented outfit recommendation. Quantitatively, our results show that the proposed visual preference modelling approach outperforms state of the art in terms of clothing attribute prediction. Qualitatively, through a pilot study, we demonstrate the efficacy of our system to provide diverse and personalised recommendations in cold-start scenarios.

description: The high frequency magnetic permeability of nanocomposite film consisting of the single-domain spherical ferromagnetic particles in the dielectric matrix is studied. The permeability is assumed to be determined by rotation of the ferromagnetic inclusion magnetic moments around equilibrium direction in AC magnetic field. The composite is modeled by a cubic array of ferromagnetic particles. The magnetic permeability tensor is calculated by solving the Landau-Lifshits-Gilbert equation accounting for the dipole interaction of magnetic particles. The permeability tensor components are found as functions of the frequency, temperature, ferromagnetic inclusions density and magnetic anisotropy. The obtained results show that nanocomposite films could have rather high value of magnetic permeability in the microwave range.

Remarkably, we find that as $d_F$ increases, the superconducting DOS exhibits a scaling behavior in which the deviations from the normal-state conductance have a universal shape that decreases exponentially in amplitude with characteristic length $d^*\approx 0.4$ nm. We do not see oscillations in the DOS as a function of $d_F$, as expected from predictions based on the Usadel equations, although an oscillation in $T_c(d_F)$ has been seen in the same materials.

description: In this paper, we investigate the HAL QCD potential in the $I=1$ $ππ$ scattering using the hybrid method for all-to-all propagators, in which a propagator is approximated by low-eigenmodes and the remaining high-eigenmode part is stochastically estimated. To verify the applicability of the hybrid method to systems containing quark creation$/$annihilation contributions such as the $ρ$ meson, we calculate the $I=1$ $ππ$ potential with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.12$ fm and $(m_π,m_ρ) \approx (870, 1230)$ MeV, in which the $ρ$ meson appears as a deeply-bound state. While we find that the naive stochastic evaluations for quark creation$/$annihilation contributions lead to extremely large statistical fluctuations, additional noise reduction methods enable us to obtain a sufficiently precise potential, which shows a strong attractive force. We also confirm that the binding energy and $k^3 \cot δ$ obtained from our potential are roughly consistent with an existing $ρ$ meson bound state, within a large systematic error associated with our calculation, whose possible origin is also discussed.

 General distribution. Western Indian Ocean, known with certainty from the Mediterranean Sea (Lessepsian migrant), Red Sea (Saudi Arabia) and the Arabian Gulf (Kuwait) (Yokes & Galil 2006; Ďuriš 2017; present study); probably more widespread in the Indian Ocean (Yokes & Galil 2006).
 Ecology. Largely nocturnal in depths below 7 m, facultative fish cleaner (Ďuriš 2017; Horká et al. 2018; present study).
 Remarks. The present specimens are assigned to U. pulchella rather than to the widespread U. cyrtorhyncha Fujino & Miyake, 1969, primarily on account of the chela being less than 1.3 times the length of the carpus. However, a thorough reassessment of the morphological differences between U. pulchella and U. cyrtorhyncha is necessary.

description: Completely unmanned autonomous vehicles have been anticipated for a while. Initially, these are expected to drive only under certain conditions on some roads, and advanced functionality is required to cope with the ever-increasing challenges of safety. To enhance the public's perception of road safety and trust in new vehicular technologies, we investigate in this paper the effect of several interaction paradigms with vulnerable road users by developing and applying algorithms for the automatic analysis of pedestrian body language. We assess behavioral patterns and determine the impact of the coexistence of AVs and other road users on general road safety in a shared space for VRUs and vehicles. Results showed that the implementation of visual communication cues for interacting with VRUs is not necessarily required for a shared space in which informal traffic rules apply.

description: This paper compares socioeconomic and technical characteristics of dairy cooperative members and nonmembers based on a sample of New England dairy herd improvement association participants. Descriptive statistics indicate there is a little difference between the two groups. A high proportion of members stated cooperatives were helpful primarily because they provide a safe or guaranteed market. Estimates of a Cobb0Douglas production function suggest membership in one specific cooperative was positively and significantly associated with average farm efficiency. Results of a logit analysis indicate the probability of being a cooperative member was positively related to extension contracts and negatively related to output per cow per farm.

Photo-chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies II. The impact of merging-induced starbursts

description: The effects of late gas accretion episodes and subsequent merger-induced starbursts on the photo-chemical evolution of elliptical galaxies are studied and compared to the picture of galaxy formation occurring at high redshift with an unique and intense starburst modulated by a very short infall, as suggested by Pipino & Matteucci (2004, Paper I). By means of the comparison with the the colour-magnitude relations and the [_V]-sigma relation observed in ellipticals, we conclude that either bursts involving a gas mass comparable to the mass already transformed into stars during the first episode of star formation and occurring at any redshift, or bursts occurring at low redshift (i.e. z<0.2) and with a large range of accreted mass, are ruled out. These models fail in matching the above relations even if the initial infall hypothesis is relaxed, and the galaxies form either by means of more complicated star formation histories or by means of the classical monolithic model. On the other hand, galaxies accreting a small amount of gas at high redshift (i.e. z>3) produce a spread in the model results, with respect to Paper I best model, which is consistent with the observational scatter of the color-magnitude relations, although there is only marginal agreement with the [_V]-sigma relation. Therefore, only small perturbations to the standard scenario seem to be allowed. We stress that the strongest constraints to galaxy formation mechanisms are represented by the chemical abundances, whereas the colours can be reproduced under several different hypotheses.

The eptinezumab:CGRP complex structure – the role of conformational changes in binding stabilization

description: To further elucidate the mechanism of action and binding properties of eptinezumab to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), X-ray crystallography, computational alanine scanning, and molecular dynamics were used. X-ray diffraction data were collected to determine the three-dimensional structures of the unbound eptinezumab antigen-binding fragment (Fab) and the Fab:CGRP complex. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to analyze the transition between uncomplexed and complex states. The amidated C-terminus of CGRP was shown to bind in a pocket formed by the Fab heavy and light chains. There was extensive contact between all six complementarity-determining regions (CDRs; composed of light-chain [L1, L2, and L3] and heavy-chain [H1, H2, H3]) of eptinezumab and CGRP. The complex demonstrated a high ligand-binding surface area dominated by aromatic residues. CDR L3 contains a disulfide bond that stabilizes the loop, contributes surface area to the binding pocket, and provides van der Waals contacts. Comparison of the uncomplexed and complex structures revealed motion near the binding cleft. The CDR loops H2 and H3 were displaced ~1.4–2.0 Å and residue H-Tyr33 changed conformation, creating a ‘latch-and-lock’ mechanism for binding CGRP and preventing dissociation. Computational alanine scanning of CGRP identified energetic ‘hot spots’ that contribute to binding energy; mutating these positions to residues in homologous neuropeptides resulted in unfavorable binding energies. The attributes of the Fab region and the conformational changes that occur in eptinezumab during binding to CGRP contribute to the specificity, durability, and strength of the interaction, and likely underlie the rapid and sustained migraine preventive effect observed in clinical studies.

description: It is technically difficult (if not impossible) to write down and solve self-consistently the semiclassical Einstein equations in the case of evaporating black holes. These difficulties can in principle be overcome in an apparently very different context, the Randall-Sundrum braneworld models in Anti-de Sitter space. Use of Maldacena's AdS/CFT correspondence led us to formulate a holographic conjecture for black holes localised on a brane, for which 4D quantum corrected black holes are dual to classical 5D black holes. This duality is applied to the computation of the correction to the newtonian potential on the brane, with new results on the semiclassical side, and a prediction about the existence of static large mass braneworld black holes is made.

description: Questo articolo esplora i due principali testi di Sartre sul cinema. Entrambi gli interventi associano l'ascesa del cinema a una filosofia rinnovata e a un'esperienza estetica vitalizzata. Così, possiamo seguire un giovane Sartre che costruisce il suo pensiero e che cerca anche di correggere alcune espressioni insoddisfacenti di Bergson e Alain. Lungo l'articolo si scopre una riflessione sartriana come strumento per guardare la prima epoca del cinema.

description: Despite the growing popularity of deep learning technologies, high memory requirements and power consumption are essentially limiting their application in mobile and IoT areas. While binary convolutional networks can alleviate these problems, the limited bitwidth of weights is often leading to significant degradation of prediction accuracy. In this paper, we present a method for training binary networks that maintains a stable predefined level of their information capacity throughout the training process by applying Shannon entropy based penalty to convolutional filters. The results of experiments conducted on SVHN, CIFAR and ImageNet datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach can statistically significantly improve the accuracy of binary networks.
X-ray observation of micro-failures in granular piles approaching an avalanche

description: An X-ray imaging technique is used to probe the stability of 3-dimensional granular packs in a slowly rotating drum. Well before the surface reaches the avalanche angle, we observe intermittent plastic events associated with collective rearrangements of the grains located in the vicinity of the free surface. The energy released by these discrete events grows as the system approaches the avalanche threshold. By testing various preparation methods, we show that the pre-avalanche dynamics is not solely controlled by the difference between the free surface inclination and the avalanche angle. As a consequence, the measure of the pre-avalanche dynamics is unlikely to serve as a tool for predicting macroscopic avalanches.

description: Committed marketing cooperatives have ensured member support and because of pooling may have higher leverage relative to buy-sell cooperatives. The hypothesis tested in this article is that marketing cooperatives with pooling have less market risk compared with those without pools and as a consequence can incur more financial risk and command greater leverage. Using an econometric approach to control for size of cooperative, empirical results suggest that pooling cooperatives have increased leverage, about 9 percent more than nonpooling cooperatives.

description: Evaluations of five basic equity redemption alternatives are made for the distinct patron-cooperative economic relationship found in both regional and local centralized cooperatives. The five alternatives are the estate settlement, age-of-patron, revolving fund, percentage pool, and base capital plans. An empirically estimated economic life cycle is used to determine the pattern of patronage and investment by patrons. Redemptions are determined for several programs, each using estate settlement alone or in combination with another plan. Performance is measured using three criteria: flexibility, proportionality, and cash flow. Results vary significantly among alternatives.

description: As the result of Uruguay Round negotiations, Korea and Japan established tariff rate quotas (TRQs) for agricultural imports. Both countries allocate the TRQs with various methods that show different fill rates and welfare implications. The state trading enterprises play important roles in TRQ administration in both countries. The TRQs contributed to increased imports. However, the transparency and commercial consideration in administrating the TRQs remain a concern and the access for some commodities seems to be less open than would be the case if quota amounts were made available on a purely commercial basis.

description: Product recommendation can be considered as a problem in data fusion-- estimation of the joint distribution between individuals, their behaviors, and goods or services of interest. This work proposes a conditional, coupled generative adversarial network (RecommenderGAN) that learns to produce samples from a joint distribution between (view, buy) behaviors found in extremely sparse implicit feedback training data. User interaction is represented by two matrices having binary-valued elements. In each matrix, nonzero values indicate whether a user viewed or bought a specific item in a given product category, respectively. By encoding actions in this manner, the model is able to represent entire, large scale product catalogs. Conversion rate statistics computed on trained GAN output samples ranged from 1.323 to 1.763 percent. These statistics are found to be significant in comparison to null hypothesis testing results. The results are shown comparable to published conversion rates aggregated across many industries and product types. Our results are preliminary, however they suggest that the recommendations produced by the model may provide utility for consumers and digital retailers.
