description: The extensive and growing literature on food supply chain has been mainly focused on relations between farmers, processing and retail sectors. Various studies have investigated for example the determinants of supply chain relationships (e.g. Dries et al., 2014) and a situation of small-scale producers in the face of rapid supply chain restructuring (e.g. Briones, 2015; Vorley et al., 2007). However, a systematic understanding of how farmers interact with input suppliers is very scarce. In response to this, the paper aims at improving our knowledge about farmers’ relations with input suppliers. The specific example that we examine comes from the Polish dairy sector, which seems to be particularly well suited for investigating relationships within the food value chain. On the one hand, fragmented structure of local farms, and poor income situation of small agricultural holdings are frequently emphasised (Milczarek-Andrzejewska, 2014). On the other hand, Polish dairy and feed sectors have undergone a thorough modernisation (Dries et al., 2011; Piwowar 2013). Rising farmer demand (due to production technology change being necessitated by milk productivity improvement) and increased competition in the feed sector have led to new vertical relations between the farm and feed production segments. Vertical coordination took many forms, including contracting, advisory programs, financial support etc. However, the existing theoretical and empitical literature on vertical spillovers through backward linkages (i.e. from buyers to suppliers) is scarce and focused on manufacturing (Kuijpers, Swinnen, 2016; Jarzębowski, 2013). A study on the relationship between dairy farmers and feed producers means that we examine also the relations between two agri-food chains. These two – dairy and feed – supply chains are vertically connected. The feed supply chain ends at the farm level where the feed is finally used in the milk production process, and where the dairy supply chain starts. Our study allows then to characterize the “boundary” segments of supply chains.

description: As a major agricultural subsector, milk production plays an important role in the EU 28. Political decisions such as the aboli-tion of the milk quota system in 2015, highly volatile milk prices and fierce international competition have led to challenges for both farmers and dairies and a need to improve competitiveness. The concept of sustainability in the form of a produc-tion standard can be seen as a means for both dairy farmers and dairies to gain competitive advantages and meet stake-holders’ demands. Farmers’ acceptance of a sustainability standard is an important factor for its successful implementation. Therefore, future-oriented farmers are an important target group for dairies. This study investigates future-oriented dairy farmers’ acceptance of a comprehensive sustainability standard and, based on their responses, categorizes farmers into three different clusters: ‘halfhearted sustainability proponents’, ‘highly dedicated sustainability proponents’ and ‘profit-oriented sustainability refusers’. Further analysis provides insights into the determinants of farmers’ acceptance of a sus-tainability standard. The results of this study provide manifold starting points for deriving managerial implications for dair-ies and the implementation of sustainability standards.

title: Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Flat Plate Structures Subjected to Column Failure and Slab-Column Joint Failure
Creators: name: Yang, Zhi

Subjects: subject: flat plate structures
subject: progressive collapse
subject: experimental test

description: Flat plate systems, where slabs are directly supported by columns without the intermediary of beams, offer reduced storey heights and additional usable space. However, these beamless configurations are susceptible to high localised shear stresses at the slab-column joints, rendering them vulnerable to brittle punching shear failures. Such failures can lead to the redistribution of loads to adjacent joints, potentially triggering a chain reaction that culminates in disproportionate progressive collapse. Despite comprehensive research aimed at preventing the progressive collapse of flat plate structures through experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies, significant knowledge gaps persist. Predominantly, existing research has centred on static loading scenarios, neglecting the substantial dynamic responses during actual collapse incidents. While some studies have considered dynamic effects, they primarily examine structural behaviour under design load conditions, with limited exploration of responses in ultimate states. Furthermore, the commonly used research methodology, the alternative path (AP) method, assesses structural integrity after column removal. Although suitable for RC frame structures, this method may not fully capture the vulnerabilities unique to RC flat plate structures, especially those related to punching shear damage at the slab-column joints caused by slab overloading-a primary trigger for progressive collapse. Moreover, the application of dynamic increase factors (DIFs) in analyses, as recommended by the DoD and GSA guidelines, is considered overly conservative for flat plate structures. To fill the research gaps outlined above, this PhD investigation undertakes a series of experimental tests on reinforced concrete (RC) flat plate substructures, focusing on scenarios of both column failure (CF), as widely considered, and slab-column joint failure (JF), not being thoroughly considered so far. For the CF series, the study evaluated the dynamic collapse resistance of a specimen following the instantaneous removal of an interior column under varying gravity loads. The JF series commenced with a conventional push-down test to determine collapse resistance under quasi-static conditions. A subsequent test in the JF series more closely resembled real-world collapse scenarios by incrementally applying gravity loads without further intervention, effectively replicating the spontaneous failure conditions and dynamic effects inherent to flat plate structures. Enhanced by further numerical modelling and theoretical analysis, this research provides profound insights into the mechanisms of collapse resistance, patterns of load redistribution, and the impacts of dynamic effects on RC flat plate structures.

description: We present a maximum-entropy method (MEM) and `Mexican Hat' wavelet (MHW) joint analysis to recover the different components of the microwave sky from simulated observations by the ESA Planck satellite in a small patch of the sky. This combined method allows one to improve the CMB, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and Galactic foregrounds separation achieved by the MEM technique alone. In particular, the reconstructed CMB map is free from any bright point source contamination. The joint analysis also produces point source catalogues at each Planck frequency which are more complete and accurate than those obtained by each method on its own. The results are especially improved at high frequencies where infrared galaxies dominate the point source contribution. Although this joint technique has been performed on simulated Planck data, it could be easily applied to other multifrequency CMB experiments, such as the forthcoming NASA MAP satellite or the recently performed Boomerang and MAXIMA experiments.

description: We report the serendipitous detection of a previously unreported pulsar from the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud using data from the CHANDRA X-Ray Observatory. Because of the luminosity of about 1.5x10^35 ergs/s, its near lack of variability for more than 20 years, and its soft spectrum we propose that it is an anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP). Data from the ROSAT PSPC in conjunction with the CHANDRA data give a period, P, of 5.44 s and a spin down time, Pdot/P, of 11 ky. If this is a correct identification it will be the first extragalactic AXP and the fastest yet discovered.

description: Farm capital structure may have contrasting effects on farm efficiency as a strand of the farm efficiency literature as pointed out ( for a review see for example Davidova and Latruffe 2007). Farmers often use external funding both to cover productions costs and to finance investments (machinery, equipment, buildings) to enhance farm economic performance. The debt is necessary to maintain or improve farm productivity and competitiveness by adopting technological innovation needed to increase farm efficiency. At the same time leverage may affects farm efficiency by influencing farm production decision constrained by lower farm expenditure capacity. In this case, farms response may rely on reducing the necessary expenditures to maintain the production assets with negative consequences on farm productivity, growth and efficiency. Finally, farm leverage may affects the farms capacity to react to market shocks adopting the needed strategic adjustments to maintain productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. A relevant case study for assessing this last effect would be the recent surge in price volatility that affected European and world cereal markets starting from 2008.

However there remains a question how to obtain explicit descriptions of the values. In this paper, we give a method to do this, which is a further development of the technique in [4].

 Dardanus brachyops Forest, 1962: 363. — Poupin 1996: 18, pl. 8d. —Asakura et al. 2003: 190, figs. 1–10.
 Material examined. 1 female 4.1 mm, Stn. Dredge 23, 26°16.380ʹN, 126°51.502ʹE, 12 November 2009, 125– 147 m (RUMF-ZC-1611).
 Remarks. Dardanus brachyops is the largest species in the genus Dardanus. Forest (1962) described this species based on three specimens with carapace length 62, 82 and 88 mm. Asakura et al. (2003) reported two specimens of 15.8 and 25.1 mm in shield length, from the Ryukyu and Ogasawara Islands. The same authors redescribed this species and discussed its affinity with D. megistos (Herbst, 1804), and D. lagopodes (Forskål, 1775).
 The colouration of the ocular peduncles, chelipeds and pereopods and the spination of the chelipeds in the specimen examined are the same as described by Forest (1962) and Asakura et al. (2003). However, some differences are observed. The chelipeds are subequal in the present specimen, but the left cheliped is much larger than the right in the materials of Forest (1962) and Asakura et al. (2003). The lateral face of the dactyl of the left third pereopod is not flattened but has a narrow median longitudinal sulcus in the specimen examined, whereas it is flattened with a median longitudinal sulcus in the material of Asakura et al. (2003). This discrepancy is probably due to much smaller size of the present specimen (shield length 4.09 mm).
 Colour. Shield white with few red spots. Ocular peduncles with alternately red and white bands, corneas black. Chelipeds red-orange with white spots, dactyls and fixed finger bright red. Ambulatory legs red with white spots; spots larger on meri.
 Distribution. Madagascar, Chichi-jima Island in Ogasawara Islands, Ishigaki Island in Ryukyu Islands, Hawaii and French Polynesia, now recorded from Kume Island in central Ryukyus; 33– 300 m.

description: Micellization is the precipitation of lipids from aqueous solution into aggregates with a broad distribution of aggregation number. Three eras of micellization are characterized in a simple kinetic model of Becker-Döring type. The model asigns the same constant energy to the $(k-1)$ monomer-monomer bonds in a linear chain of $k$ particles. The number of monomers decreases sharply and many clusters of small size are produced during the first era. During the second era, nucleii are increasing steadily in size until their distribution becomes a self-similar solution of the diffusion equation. Lastly, when the average size of the nucleii becomes comparable to its equilibrium value, a simple mean-field Fokker-Planck equation describes the final era until the equilibrium distribution is reached.

 Material examined. 1 ovig. female 1.3 mm, Stn. Dredge 2, 26°23.147ʹN, 126°44.931ʹE, 9 November 2009, 70 m (RUMF-ZC-1644).
 Remarks. This species is characterized by the short, distally bifid antennal acicle without dorsal and dorsomesial rows of spines (Asakura & Tachikawa 2010: fig. 1A, a). The specimen in this study agrees well with the original description except the shield is longer than broad and the ocular peduncles are prominently inflated basally. Asakura & Tachikawa (2010) stated that the shield is as long as broad and the ocular peduncles are only slightly inflated basally in the type material. Furthermore, the lateral and mesial surfaces of the dactyls of the second and third pereopods lack longitudinal sulci in the present specimen are unlike the type material. These differences are likely to be intraspecific variation because the intraspecific variations of particular characters are known to be high in the genus Diogenes as indicated by McLaughlin (2002c).
 Colour. Shield white, ocular peduncles reddish-pink, corneas black with a greenish tinge. Left cheliped white with brown spot near articulation of dactyl and palm; right cheliped white with pinkish-red band on articulation of palm and carpus; ischium of both chelipeds red pinkish. Ambulatory legs alternately transparent and brown; meri reddish-brown.
 Distribution. Ogasawara Island and now recorded from Kume Island; 3– 70 m.

description: We present results of a photometric CCD study of the incidence of microvariability in the optical emission of a sample of 20 blazars detected at gamma-ray energies by the EGRET instrument of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. We have observed strong outbursts in some sources, but many others displayed no significant variability on timescales of hours. The typical minimum timescale results to be of ~ several hours, not tens of minutes as claimed by some authors. The duty cycle for optical intranight microvariations of gamma-ray blazars, as estimated from our observations, seems to be ~50%, lower than what is usually assumed. For night-to-night variations, instead, the duty cycle approaches to what is observed in radio-selected BL Lacs and flat-spectrum radio quasars (i.e. ~70%).

description: A new notion is introduced of matrix order indices which relate the matrix norm and its trace. These indices can be defined for any given matrix. They are especially important for matrices describing many-body systems, equilibrium as well as nonequilibrium, for which the indices present a quantitative measure of the level of ordering. They characterize not only the long-range order, but also mid-range order. In the latter case, when order parameters do not exist, the matrix indices are well defined, providing an explicit classification of various mid-range orders. The matrix order indices are suitable for describing phase transitions with both off-diagonal and diagonal order. Contrary to order parameters whose correct definition requires the thermodynamic limit, the matrix indices do not necessarily need the latter. Because of this, such indices can distinguish between different phases of finite systems, thus, allowing for the classification of crossover phase transitions.

description: Numerical solution of oscillatory reaction–diffusion system of $\lambda-omega$ type was done by using two finite difference schemes . The first one is the explicit scheme and the second one is the implicit rank– Nicholson scheme with averaging of f (u,v) and without averaging of f (u,v). The comparison showed that Crank–Nicholson scheme is better than explicit scheme and Crank–Nicholson scheme with averaging of ff (u,v) is more accurate but it needs more time and double storage and double time steps than Crank–Nicholson scheme without averaging of f (u,v).

description: Multi user orthogonal chirp spread spectrum (OCSS) can improve the spectral inefficiency of chirp spread spectrum (CSS) but is only feasible with perfect synchronism and without any channel dispersion. Asynchronism, channel dispersion, or unexpectedly large Doppler shifts can cause multiple access interference (MAI), which degrades performance. Conditions with small timing offsets we term quasi-synchronous (QS). In this paper, we propose two new sets of nonlinear chirps to improve CSS system performance in QS conditions. We analytically and numerically evaluate cross-correlation distributions. We also derive the bit error probability for Binary CSS analytically and validate our theoretical result with both numerical and simulation results; our error probability expression is applicable to any binary time-frequency (TF) chirp waveform. Finally, we show that in QS conditions our two new nonlinear chirp designs outperform the classical linear chirp and all existing nonlinear chirps from the literature. To complete our analysis, we demonstrate that our nonlinear CSS designs outperform existing chirps in two realistic (empirically modeled) dispersive air to ground channels.

description: Several recent studies find that 10 - 50% of morphologically selected field early-type galaxies at redshifts z <= 1 have blue colors indicative of recent star formation. Such ``blue spheroids''might be massive early-type galaxies with active star formation, perhaps induced by recent merger events. Alternatively, they could be starbursting, low-mass spheroids. To distinguish between these two choices, we have selected 10 ``Blue Spheroid Candidates'' (hereafter, BSCs) from a quantitatively selected E/S0 sample and studied their properties, including kinematics from Keck spectra obtained as part of the DEEP Groth Strip Survey (GSS). Most BSCs (70%) turn out to belong to two broad categories, while the remaining objects are likely to be misclassified objects. Type-1 BSCs have underlying red stellar components with bluer inner components. Type-2 BSCs do not show an obvious sign of the underlying red stellar component, and their overall colors are quite blue ((U-B)_rest < 0). Both Type-1 and Type-2 BSCs have internal velocity dispersions measured from emission lines sigma < 80$ km/sec and estimated dynamical masses of only a few times 10^10 M_sun or less. For Type-1 BSCs, we estimate sigma of the red component using the fundamental plane relation of distant field absorption-line galaxies and find that these sigma estimates are similar to the sigma measured from emission lines. Overall, we conclude that our Type-1 and Type-2 BSCs are more likely to be star-forming low mass spheroids than star-forming, massive, early-type galaxies.

description: This paper proposes a machine learning-based system designed to predict mental health outcomes using wearable device data. The system is conceptualized to process physiological and behavioral data such as heart rate, sleep patterns, and activity levels collected from wearable technology. Key stages of the system include data preprocessing, feature extraction, and model training using multiple machine-learning algorithms, including Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, XGBoost, and Logistic Regression. These models are combined using a voting-based ensemble classifier to improve prediction accuracy. While the system has not yet been implemented, expected results suggest that this approach will enhance prediction reliability and offer real-time insights into mental health conditions. The proposed system is envisioned to facilitate early detection of mental health disorders, thereby aiding in timely interventions and personalized care.

 Material examined. 1 ovig. female 1.3 mm, Stn. Intertidal 3, Shinri Beach, 26°20ʹ57.8ʺN, 126°43ʹ33.9ʺE, 18 November 2009, intertidal (ZRC 2011.0728); 6 males 0.8–2.4 mm, Stn. Intertidal 4, Ohara, 26°20ʹ57.8ʺN, 126°43ʹ33.9ʺE, 18 November 2009 (RUMF-ZC-1645, intertidal; 1 ovig. female 1.5 mm, 2 males 1.1 mm, Stn. Dredge 55, 26°19.442ʹN, 126°49.211ʹE, 17 November 2009, 4.7–9.5 m (NTOU A 01221).
 Remarks. The present specimens from Kume Island are referable to Diogenes leptocerus, and agree very well with the original description and figure of the species (Forest 1956: 528, figs. 8–11). Rahayu & Forest (1995) and Rahayu & Hortle (2002) pointed out the difference of this species from Diogenes spinicarpus Rahayu & Forest, 1995: the telson is truncate and has no incision on the posterior margin. In Diogenes spinicarpus, the telson has a distinct median cleft on the posterior margin, and is armed with prominent spines on the left lobe, smaller spines on the right lobe. Additional differences examined in the material studied are: the ocular peduncles of Diogenes leptocerus are subcylindrical and prominently dilated basally but less so distally, and straight on the lateral and mesial margins; while in Diogenes spinicarpus, they are dilated basally and distally, and sinuous on the lateral and mesial margins.
 Distribution. Somalia, Indonesia, Vietnam and now recorded from southern Japan; intertidal to 9.5 m.

description: Fluorine-19 (19F) MRI of injected perfluorocarbon emulsions (PFCs) allows for the non-invasive quantification of inflammation and cell tracking, but suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and extended scan time. To address this limitation, we tested the hypothesis that a 19F MRI pulse sequence that combines a specific undersampling regime with signal averaging has increased sensitivity and robustness against motion artifacts compared to a non-averaged fully-sampled dataset, when both are reconstructed with compressed sensing. To this end, numerical simulations and phantom experiments were performed to characterize the point spread function (PSF) of undersampling patterns and the vulnerability to noise of acquisition-reconstruction strategies with paired numbers of x signal averages and acceleration factor x (NAx-AFx). At all investigated noise levels, the DSC of the acquisition-reconstruction strategies strongly depended on the regularization parameters and acceleration factor. In phantoms, motion robustness of an NA8-AF8 undersampling pattern versus NA1-AF1 was evaluated with simulated and real motions. Differences were assessed with Dice similarity coefficients (DSC), and were consistently higher for NA8-AF8 compared to NA1-AF1 strategy, for both simulated and real cyclic motions (P<0.001). Both acquisition-reconstruction strategies were validated in vivo in mice (n=2) injected with perfluoropolyether. These images displayed a sharper delineation of the liver with the NA8-AF8 strategy than with the NA1-AF1 strategy. In conclusion, we validated the hypothesis that in 19F MRI, the combination of undersampling and averaging improves both the sensitivity and the robustness against motion artifacts compared to a non-averaged fully-sampled dataset, when both are reconstructed with compressed sensing.

(Fig. 1E)
 Paguristes macrops Rahayu & Forest, 2009: 1317, figs. 3, 4.
 Material examined. 1 male 3.5 mm, Stn. Dredge 23, 26°16.380ʹN, 126°51.50ʹE, 12 November 2009, 125 m (RUMF-ZC-1648); 2 females, 1.0 mm, 2.5 mm, Stn. Dredge 79, 26°14.686ʹN, 126°49.623ʹE, 20 November 2009, 141– 165m (NTOUA01223).
 Remarks. Paguristes macrops is characterized by having rounded red spot on each of the mesial and lateral faces of the meri of the chelipeds and second and third pereopods. This character is also seen in P. gonagrus (H. Milne Edwards, 1836), Paguristes balanophylus Alcock, 1905, Paguristes alcocki McLaughlin & Rahayu, 2005, Paguristes lewinsohni McLaughlin & Rahayu, 2005, Paguristes aulacis Rahayu & Forest, 2009, and Paguristes ocellus Komai, 2010, but there are morphological and other colour differences among these species. The specimens in the present study agree well with the original description and the colouration of Paguristes macrops, but minor differences are noted: the ocular peduncles that are shorter than the shield, and the mesial face of the dactyl of each cheliped has only one longitudinal row of tubercles. The specimens collected (2.54, 3.45 mm in shield length) are smaller than the specimens examined by Rahayu & Forest (2009, 3.0– 9.1 mm in shield length), and too limited to evaluate whether these differences are only intraspecific variations or they warrant the separation of species.
 Distribution. The Philippines and now recorded from Kume Island, Japan; 83– 165 m.

Breaking the "Redshift Deadlock" -- II: The redshift distribution for the submillimetre population of galaxies

description: In this paper we apply our Monte-Carlo photometric-redshift technique, introduced in paper I (Hughes et al. 2002), to the multi-wavelength data available for 77 galaxies selected at 850um and 1.25mm. We calculate a probability distribution for the redshift of each galaxy, which includes a detailed treatment of the observational errors and uncertainties in the evolutionary model. The cumulative redshift distribution of the submillimetre galaxy population that we present in this paper, based on 50 galaxies found in wide-area SCUBA surveys, is asymmetric, and broader than those published elsewhere, with a significant high-z tail for some of the evolutionary models considered. Approximately 40 to 90 per cent of the sub-mm population is expected to have redshifts in the interval 2 < z < 4. Whilst this result is completely consistent with earlier estimates for the sub-mm galaxy population, we also show that the colours of many (< 50 per cent) individual sub-mm sources, detected only at 850um with non-detections at other wavelengths, are consistent with those of starburst galaxies that lie at extreme redshifts, z > 4. Spectroscopic confirmation of the redshifts, through the detection of rest-frame FIR--mm wavelength molecular transition-lines, will ultimately calibrate the accuracy of this technique. We use the redshift probability distribution of HDF850.1 to illustrate the ability of the method to guide the choice of possible frequency tunings on the broad-band spectroscopic receivers that equip the large aperture single-dish mm and cm-wavelength telescopes.

description: This study investigates the impact of prolonged areca nut chewing on the oral microbiome using a strain-resolved approach. Saliva samples from 80 long-lived elderly individuals, all aged over 80 years, were analyzed through shotgun metagenomics to explore the effects of this habitual behavior on microbial composition and functional dynamics. By combining species and functional profiling with strain-level genomic analysis, the study aims to uncover how areca nut chewing influences microbial communities and metabolic pathways. This comprehensive approach provides a deeper understanding of the interactions between lifestyle factors and oral microbiota, offering novel insights into the potential microbial mechanisms underlying health risks associated with areca nut use.

 Diagnosis. This species can be recognized by the following unique combination of characters: the integument is red; the first five antennal segments are red, the others are black with reddish underside; the clypeus and the lower margin of eyes are pale yellow; the pubescence on the clypeus is appressed and silvery; the eyes are sinuous and strongly divergent above; the dorsal face of the hind tibia is not serrate; the pronotum is not elongated, the collar is differentiated from the disc, and is indented anterolaterally; the hind tarsal claws are evenly curved; and the wings are slightly darkened with a dark spot in the first radial 2 cell. The female of this species is unknown.
 Distribution. Dominican Republic.
 Host. Unknown.
 Remarks. This record is based on literature only; we did not record this species in our sample. Kimsey and Wasbauer (2004) studied the holotype of I. hispaniolae providing description and illustration of the genitalia. Irenangelus hispaniolae is placed in the I. lucidus species-group (Kimsey & Wasbauer 2004) and is cited as endemic to the Dominican Republic (Perez-Gelabert 2008).

How effective is advertising in duopoly markets?

description: A simple Ising spin model which can describe the mechanism of advertising in a duopoly market is proposed. In contrast to other agent-based models, the influence does not flow inward from the surrounding neighbors to the center site, but spreads outward from the center to the neighbors. The model thus describes the spread of opinions among customers. It is shown via standard Monte Carlo simulations that very simple rules and inclusion of an external field -- an advertising campaign -- lead to phase transitions.
