description: This paper provides new empirical evidence on climate change adaptation using a dataset that covers 19 countries from four continents. More specifically, we focus on the role of livestock as ex-ante risk management strategy and self-insurance coping-strategy against climatic shocks. There are at least two channels through which livestock can play this role. From the one hand, it can be viewed as a form of ex-ante precautionary savings, which can be liquidated ex-post to smooth consumption, if needed. From the other hand, livestock and livestock diversification can increase resilience, i.e. the household capacity of recovering from external shocks. Given these premise, our study merge together several longitudinal surveys (n=223,372) with Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration index data, our proxy of climatic shocks, in order to study the interlinkage among livestock, household welfare and resilience. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first cross-country analysis in this field of literature. Our results show, among other things, that: firstly, livestock has a significant contribution to household welfare and resilience in most of the samples considered in the analysis; secondly, climatic crises tend to be regressive, and poorer households are generally more affected; thirdly, country specificity matters.

description: We present photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow of GRB 030323. VLT spectra of the afterglow show damped Lya (DLA) absorption and low- and high-ionization lines at a redshift z=3.3718+-0.0005. The inferred neutral hydrogen column density, log N(HI)=21.90+-0.07, is larger than any (GRB- or QSO-) DLA HI column density inferred directly from Lya in absorption. From the afterglow photometry, we derive a conservative upper limit to the host-galaxy extinction: A(V)<0.5 mag. The iron abundance is [Fe/H]=-1.47+-0.11, while the metallicity of the gas as measured from sulphur is [S/H]=-1.26+-0.20. We derive an upper limit on the H2 molecular fraction of 2N(H2)/(2N(H2)+N(HI))

description: This paper analyzes the main forces related to the declining agricultural employment in the Brazilian economy, and its contribution to country s economic growth for the period 1970-2015. We employ a novel three sector growth accounting exercise, and a multisector growth model to estimate the various economic forces that serve to pull and push labor out of agriculture. Our results supports the conclusion that agriculture, whose rate of TFP growth tends to dominate that of the industrial and service sector, has had two roles on recent economic growth: the first is associated to TFP growth, and second is the labor transference to other sectors, and more specifically to the service sector. We also find evidence of sectoral TFP correlation suggesting technological spill over between sectors. Acknowledgement :

description: The Peierls instability toward a charge density wave is a canonical example of phonon-driven strongly correlated physics and is intimately related to topological quantum matter and exotic superconductivity. We propose a method to realize an analogous photon-mediated Peierls transition, using a system of one-dimensional tubes of interacting Bose or Fermi atoms trapped inside a multimode confocal cavity. Pumping the cavity transversely engineers a cavity-mediated metal--to--insulator transition in the atomic system. For strongly interacting bosons in the Tonks-Girardeau limit, this transition can be understood (through fermionization) as being the Peierls instability. We extend the calculation to finite values of the interaction strength and derive analytic expressions for both the cavity field and mass gap. They display nontrivial power law dependence on the dimensionless matter-light coupling.

description: Reservoirs are increasingly deemed to be important given their potential control of water availability across seasons - from wet to dry seasons, especially given the concerns on the effect of climate change. In this paper, we focus on the collective action aspect of investing in irrigation reservoirs and on the potential scope for policy intervention. We formulate a model in which farmers pool resources to construct a collective reservoir. We conceptualized the reservoir as a blue club that increases the potential water availability in dry season, thus improving water safety for the whole society. We determine the societal potential inefficiency in club size and the potential policy measures to correct it, focusing on two different club access rules (open vs closed membership). Results show that linear subsidy are ineffective in case of closed membership, and minimum participation rules are required. Acknowledgement :

description: This paper estimates the farm level impact of producer organizations (PO) membership in Slovakia and the effectiveness of support provided to POs under the EU Rural Development Programme (RDP). We employ the PSM-DID econometric approach on a database of large Slovak commercial farms for 2006 and 2015. First, our results show that belonging to a PO improves the economic performance of farms in Slovakia. Second, in the short-run the support granted under RDP 2007-2013 to newly established PO does not improve the farm performance; only established and older POs (and potentially supported in the past) generate benefits to their members. Third, the estimates provide indirect evidence that the disbursement of PO support granted in the financial period 2007-2013 was rather ineffective in selecting POs with the highest potential to generate benefits to its members. Our analysis confirms that many POs were created for the sole purpose just to benefit from the support. This result is reinforced by the observed high closure rate of supported POs.

description: We present a formalism for constructing quasi-equilibrium binary black hole initial data suitable for numerical evolution. We construct quasi-equilibrium models by imposing an approximate helical Killing symmetry appropriate for quasi-circular orbits. We use the sum of two Kerr-Schild metrics as our background metric, thereby improving on conformally flat backgrounds that do not accommodate rotating black holes and providing a horizon-penetrating lapse, convenient for implementing black hole excision. We set inner boundary conditions at an excision radius well inside the apparent horizon and construct these boundary conditions to incorporate the quasi-equilibrium condition and recover the solution for isolated black holes in the limit of large separation. We use our formalism both to generate initial data for binary black hole evolutions and to construct a crude quasi-equilibrium, inspiral sequence for binary black holes of fixed irreducible mass.

A generalized wave-vortex decomposition for rotating Boussinesq flows with arbitrary stratification

description: The linear wave and geostrophic (vortex) solutions are shown to be a complete basis for physical variables $(u,v,w,ρ)$ in a rotating non-hydrostatic Boussinesq model with arbitrary stratification. As a consequence, the fluid can be unambiguously separated into linear wave and geostrophic components at each instant in time, without the need for temporal filtering. The fluid can then be diagnosed for temporal changes in wave and geostrophic coefficients at each unique wavenumber and mode, including those that inevitably occur due to nonlinear interactions. We demonstrate that this methodology can be used to determine which physical interactions cause the transfer of energy between modes by projecting the nonlinear equations of motion onto the wave-vortex basis. In the particular example given, we show that an eddy in geostrophic balance superimposed with inertial oscillations at the surface transfers energy from the inertial oscillations to internal gravity wave modes. This approach can be applied more generally to determine which mechanisms are involved in energy transfers between wave and vortices, including their respective scales. Finally, we show that the nonlinear equations of motion expressed in a wave-vortex basis are computationally efficient for certain problems. In cases where stratification profiles vary strongly with depth, this approach may be an attractive alternative to traditional spectral models for rotating Boussinesq flow.
title: The development of Anglican evangelicalism in London 1736-1836 with special reference to the Revd. John Newton
Creators: name: Pytches, Peter Norman Lambert
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: The thesis begins with a statement of the terms of reference and definition of terms. Consideration is given to the social, cultural, philosophical and religious attitudes and influences of the late 17th and early 18th centuries, particularly in relation to London and the Established Church. Attention is paid to the antecedents and precursors of London Evangelicalism.

The influence, in London, of George Whitefield and John Wesley is evaluated, together with that of the Countess of Huntingdon and William Romaine. Early difficulties for Evangelicals in obtaining useful spheres of influence and the importance of lectureships, proprietary chapels, and patronage are highlighted. Specific reference to a few London Evangelicals is made and the influence of evangelical literature mentioned. The continuing Predestinarian controversy is observed.

The appointment of John Newton to his incumbency at Woolnoth in 1779, it is argued, marked a decisive stage in the development of London Evangelicalism. Also prominent in this development were Thomas Scott, Josiah Pratt, Basil Wood, Henry Foster and William Goode and Hannah More (through her writings and London contacts). Special attention is paid to Newton and the Eclectic Society, and the more moderate Calvinism which developed. William Wilberforce and the Clapham Sect, his Practical View, theological orientation, and humanitarian concern, are explored. Also Daniel Wilson (Sr) and the Islington Conference are evaluated. The London influence of Charles Simeon is noted. Special attention is paid to the founding of the Religious Tract Society, Church Missionary Society, British and Foreign Bible Society and Church Pastoral Aid Society, the contributions of laity, the May Meetings and the Exeter Hall.

The changing outlooks of Evangelical publications is noted and the Millennarian controversy reviewed. Conflicting opinions of the strength and impact of London Evangelicalism are assessed and the calibre of the clergy evaluated.

The thesis closes with a summary and the conclusions reached.

description: One objective of economists is to be able to understand and then to predict a phenomenon. To be able to predict accurately, one must first understand the forces which interact in forming the phenomenon which is being predicted. Within the economics literature, both positive and normative research on decision making has beeareported. The major thrust has been on the normative approach or in prescribing what ought to be. In contrast, psychologists and sociologists have tended to describe what is - the positive approach. This positive approach seeks to understand how or why individuals make certain decisions. Goals and attitudes of farmers, and how they relate to decision making is central to both the positive and normative approaches.

Leptonic universality breaking in Upsilon decays as a probe of new physics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work we examine the possible existence of new physics beyond the standard model which could modify the branching fractions of the leptonic (mainly tauonic) decays of bottomonium vector resonances below the $B\bar{B}$ threshold. The decay width is factorized as the product of two pieces: a) the probability of an intermediate pseudoscalar color-singlet $b\bar{b}$ state (coupling to the dominant Fock state of the Upsilon via a magnetic dipole transition) and a soft (undetected) photon; b) the annihilation width of the $b\bar{b}$ pair into two leptons, mediated by a non-standard CP-odd Higgs boson of mass about 10 GeV, introducing a quadratic dependence on the lepton mass in the partial width. The process would be unwittingly ascribed to the $Υ$ leptonic channel thereby (slightly) breaking lepton universality. A possible mixing of the pseudoscalar Higgs and bottomonium resonances is also considered. Finally, several experimental signatures to check out the validity of the conjecture are discussed.

description: Hyperpolarization-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging can be used to study biomolecular processes in the body, but typically requires nuclei such as ¹³C, ¹⁵N, or ¹²⁹Xe due to their long spin-polarization lifetimes and the absence of a proton-background signal from water and fat in the images. Here we present a novel type of ¹H imaging, in which hyperpolarized spin order is locked in a nonmagnetic long-lived correlated (singlet) state, and is only liberated for imaging by a specific biochemical reaction. In this work we produce hyperpolarized fumarate via chemical reaction of a precursor molecule with para-enriched hydrogen gas, and the proton singlet order in fumarate is released as antiphase NMR signals by enzymatic conversion to malate in D₂O. Using this model system we show two pulse sequences to rephase the NMR signals for imaging and suppress the background signals from water. The hyperpolarization-enhanced ¹H-imaging modality presented here can allow for hyperpolarized imaging without the need for low-abundance, low-sensitivity heteronuclei.

 Type locality: Tairua [Hunua Range, Waitakere, and Pakarau also given in original description].
 Broun number: 4283.
 Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. We located a specimen with a printed “Tairua” label which we regard as the lectotype and five specimens (three with a handwritten “Waitakere” label and two with a handwritten”Pakarau” label) which we regard as paralectotypes. No specimens were located, however, that are explicitly labeled from the Hunua Ranges. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and five paralectotypes are here designated from the material of Syncalus solidus.
 Type material examined: Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Tairua // New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Syncalus solidus. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotypes (BMNH): 3, individually mounted on separate cards and pins, with identical labels, one mounted venter-up, “ New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit. Mus. 1922-482. // Waitakerei. 26.10.1914 [in Broun’s hand] // Syncalus solidus. [in Broun’s hand]”. Paralectotype (BMNH): “ New Zealand [red underline] Broun Coll. Brit.

description: Water insecurity contributes to negative physical and mental health outcomes, and has been found to disproportionately affect women, who are typically primarily responsible for fetching water and managing its use. However, little is understood about how water insecurity manifests among agrarian, HIV-affected populations in sub-Saharan Africa. To explore water insecurity experiences among HIV-affected, smallholder farmers in western Kenya, the unique experiences of women in this context, and coping strategies to water insecurity consequences, data were collected as part of the Shamba Maisha study (NCT02815579).  The Shamba Maisha study tests an agricultural intervention to improve the health and nutrition of people living with HIV. Interviews were conducted with 30 adults (24 women; 6 men; age = 41.79.4 years). Interviewers asked open-ended questions, probing about water acquisition, uses of water, challenges, strategies to cope with water-related challenges, farming practices, and perceived benefits of the Shamba Maisha program through the go-along interview method. A coding framework was developed after identifying emergent themes, and analysis was conducted using a combination of inductive and a priori methods using Atlas.ti 8. Almost 70% of interviewed households experienced water scarcity and poor water quality. Water insecurity challenges and associated consequences varied depending on the season. Women were responsible for the acquisition and management of water (90%), which resulted from normalized gender roles. Primary methods of coping with water insecurity were storing water (96.7%), treating water (86.7%), and diversifying water sources (83.3%). Shamba Maisha study participation increased participants empowerment, offered new agricultural opportunities, and increased hope for the future. Addressing water insecurity must be specific to the season and differences in water experiences across gender, and has the potential to significantly improve physical and mental health outcomes of the women of the household because of their responsibility over water use and management.

description: A high quality, medium-resolution K-band spectrum has been obtained of the ultracompact HII region G29.96-0.02 with the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The slit was positioned along the symmetry axis of the cometary shaped nebula. Besides the spectrum of the embedded ionizing O star, the long-slit observation revealed the rich emission-line spectrum produced by the ionized nebula with sub-arcsec spatial resolution. The nebular spectrum includes Br$γ$, several helium emission lines and a molecular hydrogen line. A detailed analysis is presented of the variation in strength, velocity and width of the nebular emission lines along the slit. The results are consistent with previous observations, but the much better spatial resolution allows a critical evaluation of models explaining the cometary shape of the nebula. Our observations support neither the wind bow shock model nor the champagne flow model. The measured line ratios of the nebular hydrogen and helium lines are compared to predictions from case B recombination-line theory. The results indicate an electron temperature between 6400 and 7500 K, in good agreement with other determinations and the Galactocentric distance of 4.6 kpc. The He$^{+}$/H$^{+}$ ratio is practically constant over the slit; we argue that He is singly ionized throughout the nebula. We review the various observational constraints on the effective temperature of the ionizing star and show that these are in agreement with its K-band spectral type of O5-O6V.

Cosmological Constraint on $Ω_m$ and $σ_8$ from Cluster Abundances using the $\mathtt{GalWCat19}$ Optical-Spectroscopic SDSS Catalog

description: We derive cosmological constraints on the matter density, \om, and the amplitude of fluctuations, \sig, using $\mathtt{GalWCat19}$, a catalog of 1800 galaxy clusters we identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-DR13 spectroscopic data set using our GalWeight technique to determine cluster membership \citep{Abdullah18,Abdullah19}. By analyzing a subsample of 756 clusters in a redshift range of $0.045\leq z \leq 0.125$ and virial masses of $M\geq 0.8\times10^{14}$ \hm ~with mean redshift of $z = 0.085$, we obtain \om ~$=0.310^{+0.023}_{-0.027} \pm 0.041$ (systematic) and \sig ~$=0.810^{+0.031}_{-0.036}\pm 0.035$ (systematic), with a cluster normalization relation of $σ_8= 0.43 Ω_m^{-0.55}$. There are several unique aspects to our approach: we use the largest spectroscopic data set currently available, and we assign membership using the GalWeight technique which we have shown to be very effective at simultaneously maximizing the number of {\it{bona fide}} cluster members while minimizing the number of contaminating interlopers. Moreover, rather than employing scaling relations, we calculate cluster masses individually using the virial mass estimator. Since $\mathtt{GalWCat19}$ is a low-redshift cluster catalog we do not need to make any assumptions about evolution either in cosmological parameters or in the properties of the clusters themselves. Our constraints on \om ~and \sig ~are consistent and very competitive with those obtained from non-cluster abundance cosmological probes such as Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), Baryonic Acoustic Oscillation (BAO), and supernovae (SNe). The joint analysis of our cluster data with Planck18+BAO+Pantheon gives \om ~$=0.315^{+0.013}_{-0.011}$ and \sig ~$=0.810^{+0.011}_{-0.010}$.

Year: 2018

description: In this project, the UBC Botanical Gardens requested a thematic map mapping the resilience and biodiversity in the gardens. This project is part of the yearly themed self-guided tours the Botanical Gardens holds for all tourists and guests. The project began with a meeting with the community partner, Tara Moreau, Associate Director/Sustainability and Community Programs from the Botanical Gardens, and David Gill, Program and Policy Planner from the SEEDS program. In this meeting, the deliverables including the approach to the project, the general concept of what resilience and biodiversity means in terms of the gardens was discussed, and a working timeline was established. It was decided that Rachel would produce a static map for the brochure the marketing team at the Botanical Gardens would make, and Vivian would create an interactive version of that map. In the second meeting, Rachel and Vivian met with Douglas Justice, the UBC Botanical Garden Associate Director and Curator of Collections, along with Tara and learnt more about how the botanical gardens apply to the theme of resilience and biodiversity.

The EUV Emission in the Coma Cluster of Galaxies and the Underlying Source of this Radiation

description: Observations with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) have shown the Coma Cluster to be a source of EUV emission in excess of that produced by X-ray gas in the cluster. We have re-examined the EUVE data on this cluster in an attempt to obtain clues as to the origin of this emission. We find two important new results. First, the ratio between the azimuthally averaged EUV excess emission and the ROSAT hard X-ray flux is constant as a function of distance from the cluster center outward. Second, a correlation analysis between the EUV excess emission and the X-ray emission shows that on a detailed level the EUV excess is spatially closely related to the X-ray emission. These findings contradict previous suggestions as to the underlying source of the diffuse EUV emission in Coma and provide important information in regards to the true source of this emission. We propose a new explanation for the source of this emission: inverse Compton scattering of microwave background photons by secondary electrons and positrons. We explore this possibility in some detail and show that it is consistent with all of the available observational evidence. The parent cosmic ray protons may have been produced by any of a number of sources, including supernovae, active galaxies, galactic winds, and cluster formation shocks, but we believe that the most likely source is cluster formation shocks. If the EUV emission in the Coma Cluster is, in fact, the result of secondary electrons, this may be the only direct evidence for secondary electrons in the intracluster medium of a cluster of galaxies, since recent work suggests that secondary electrons may not be the cause of radio halos.

description: Dense molecular filaments are central to the star formation process, but the detailed manner in which they fragment into prestellar cores is not yet well understood. Here, we investigate the fragmentation properties and dynamical state of several star-forming filaments in the X-shape Nebula region of the California MC, in an effort to shed some light on this issue. We used multi-wavelength far-infrared images from Herschel and the getsources and getfilaments extraction methods to identify dense cores and filaments and derive their basic properties. We also used a map of $\rm ^{13}CO (2-1)$ emission from SMT 10m submillimeter telescope to constrain the dynamical state of the filaments. We identified 10 filaments, as well as 57 dense cores. Two star-forming filaments (# 8 and # 10) stand out in that they harbor quasi-periodic chains of dense cores with a typical projected core spacing of $\sim$0.15 pc. These two filaments have thermally supercritical line masses and are not static. Filament~8 exhibits a prominent transverse velocity gradient, suggesting that it is accreting gas from the parent cloud gas reservoir. In both cases, the observed (projected) core spacing is similar to the filament width and significantly shorter than the canonical separation of $\sim \,$4 times the filament width predicted by classical cylinder fragmentation theory. We suggest that continuous accretion of gas onto the two star-forming filaments, as well as geometrical bending of the filaments, may account for the observed core spacing. Our findings suggest that the characteristic fragmentation lengthscale of molecular filaments is quite sensitive to external perturbations from the parent cloud, such as gravitational accretion of ambient material.
