description: Students, staff, and faculty at the University of British Columbia have access to a wide variety of foodstuffs throughout campus because of the food service outlets provided by the Alma Mater Society and UBC Food Services. Most of these food service outlets are representative of the global food system, where economic sustainability is of the utmost consequence, and the importance of social and environmental sustainability is lost. Much of the food on campus has traveled many miles from where it was originally grown, causing negative environmental and social impacts in BC. To improve the sustainability of any food system, there needs to be an increase in the amount of local and seasonal foods represented in it, thereby reversing global trends and accruing positive environmental and social impacts. The goal of Group 8 was to establish the feasibility of integrating local and seasonal foods into UBC Food Service outlets, specifically The Barn Coffee Shop. The Barn was chosen as a demonstration of the possibilities of local and seasonal foods because of several factors: proximity to the Faculty of Land and Food Systems building, its presence on “Sustainability Street,” and the high proportion of staff and faculty patrons. Previous research determined that much of the soil-grown food purchased by UBC Food Services comes from outside of Canada; however, much of this produce is presently being grown within BC. Based on previous years’ research, the availability of seasonal produce was established, and our group devised menu items that incorporated these foodstuffs.

description: We present a model for the intensity of optically thin EUV emission for a plasma atmosphere. We apply our model to the solar corona as observed using the six optically thin EUV channels of the SDO/AIA instrument. The emissivity of the plasma is calculated from the density and temperature using CHIANTI tables and the intensity is then determined by integration along the line of sight. We consider several different profiles for the radial density and temperature profiles, each of which are constrained by the observational data alone with no further physical assumptions. We demonstrate the method first by applying it to a quiet region of the corona, and then use it as the background component of a model including coronal holes, allowing the plasma densities and temperatures inside and outside the hole to be estimated. We compare our results with differential emission measure (DEM) inversions. More accurate estimates for the coronal density and temperature profiles have the potential to help constrain plasma properties such as the magnetic field strength when used in combination with methods such as seismology.

Reward-related activity in the medial prefrontal cortex is driven by consumption
Creators: name: Horst, Nicole K.
name: Laubach, Mark
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: An emerging literature suggests that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is crucial for the ability to track behavioral outcomes over time and has a critical role in successful foraging. Here, we examine this issue by analyzing changes in neuronal spike activity and local field potentials in the rat mPFC in relation to the consumption of rewarding stimuli. Using multi-electrode recording methods, we simultaneously recorded from ensembles of neurons and field potentials in the mPFC during the performance of an operant-delayed alternation task and a variable-interval licking procedure. In both tasks, we found that consummatory behavior (licking) activates many mPFC neurons and is associated with theta-band phase locking by mPFC field potentials. Many neurons that were modulated by the delivery of reward were also modulated when rats emitted bouts of licks during the period of consumption. The majority of these licking-modulated neurons were found in the rostral part of the prelimbic cortex, a region that is heavily interconnected with the gustatory insular cortex and projects to subcortical feeding-related centers. Based on the tight coupling between spike activity, theta-band phase locking, and licking behavior, we suggest that reward-related activity in the mPFC is driven by consummatory behavior.
Dependence of Striped Domain Growth on Background Wavenumber

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We report on the growth of domains of standing waves in electroconvection in a nematic liquid crystal. An ac voltage is applied to the system, forming an initial state that consists of travelling striped patterns with two different wavenumbers, zig and zag rolls. The standing waves are generated by suddenly applying a periodic modulation of the amplitude of the applied voltage that is approximately resonant with the travelling frequency of the pattern. By varying the modulation frequency, we are able to vary the steady-state, average wavenumber. We characterize the growth by measuring the structure factor for the pattern, the amplitude of the pattern, and the domain-wall length. An interesting feature of the growth is that the evolution of the domain-wall length is strongly affected by changing the selected wavenumber; whereas, the evolution of the structure factor is less sensitive to such changes.

description: In this paper, we establish a new scheme for identification and classification of high intensity events generated by the propagation of light through a photorefractive SBN crystal. Among these events, which are the inevitable consequence of the development of modulation instability, are speckling and soliton-like patterns. The usual classifiers developed on statistical measures, such as the significant intensity, often provide only a partial characterization of these events. Here, we try to overcome this deficiency by implementing the convolution neural network method to relate experimental data of light intensity distribution and corresponding numerical outputs with different high intensity regimes. The train and test sets are formed of experimentally obtained intensity profiles at the crystal output facet and corresponding numerical profiles. The accuracy of detection of speckles reaches maximum value of 100%, while the accuracy of solitons and caustic detection is above 97%. These performances are promising for the creation of neural network based routines for prediction of extreme events in wave media.

Renormalisation of ϕ^4-theory on noncommutative R^4 in the matrix base

description: We prove that the real four-dimensional Euclidean noncommutative ϕ^4-model is renormalisable to all orders in perturbation theory. Compared with the commutative case, the bare action of relevant and marginal couplings contains necessarily an additional term: an harmonic oscillator potential for the free scalar field action. This entails a modified dispersion relation for the free theory, which becomes important at large distances (UV/IR-entanglement). The renormalisation proof relies on flow equations for the expansion coefficients of the effective action with respect to scalar fields written in the matrix base of the noncommutative R^4. The renormalisation flow depends on the topology of ribbon graphs and on the asymptotic and local behaviour of the propagator governed by orthogonal Meixner polynomials.

description: We examined the role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in reward processing and the control of consummatory behavior. Rats were trained in an operant licking procedure in which they received alternating access to solutions with relatively high and low levels of sucrose (20 and 4%, w/v). Each level of sucrose was available for fixed intervals of 30 s over 30 min test sessions. Over several days of training, rats came to lick persistently when the high level of sucrose was available and suppressed licking when the low level of sucrose was available. Pharmacological inactivations of the mPFC, specifically the rostral part of the prelimbic area, greatly reduced intake of the higher value fluid and only slightly increased intake of the lower value fluid. In addition, the inactivations altered within-session patterns and microstructural measures of licking. Rats licked equally for the high and low levels of sucrose at the beginning of the test sessions and relearned to reduce intake of the low value fluid over the test sessions. Durations of licking bouts (clusters of licks with inter-lick intervals <0.5 s) were reduced for the high value fluid and there were many more brief licking bouts (<1 s) when the low value fluid was available. These effects were verified using an alternative approach (optogenetic silencing using archaerhodopsin) and were distinct from inactivation of the ventral striatum, which simply increased overall intake. Our findings suggest that the mPFC is crucial for the maintenance of persistent licking and the expression of learned feeding strategies.

description: As fourth year students in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, we are taking part in the University of British Columbia Food Systems Project (UBCFSP), an ongoing project that investigates and evaluates the sustainability of the UBC food system. This paper focuses its investigations on the sustainability of the food system in the University Boulevard Neighbourhood in relationship to the UBC Farm as a local food system. Although University Boulevard is in preliminary stages of construction, we intend to assess any possible relationships that they may have and how they can work together to promote and maintain food system sustainability. Next, we propose recommendations to promote and ensure that the food system in this particular area is sustainable and secured. These recommendations are based on the analysis of environmental education, community shuttles, waste management, seasonal festivals, and University Square kiosks. As part of our project we have been asked to research the concept and implementation of Eco-villages to determine whether the strategies used in Eco-villages will be applicable to the University Boulevard Neighbourhood. We will begin our evaluation by outlining the key components of a sustainable food system via the use of models as inspiration and vehicles for change, the strategies, policies involved, and the challenges that may hinder the sustainability of this food system.

description: We introduce and develop a slave-spin mean-field technique for describing a generic interacting two level systems under time-dependent drivings, where an auxiliary S=1 spin is added to describe the localized character of the electrons. We show that the approach efficiently captures the main effects of the strong correlations as well as the dynamical nature of the driving, while remaining simple enough to allow for an analytical treatment. Our formalism provides a flexible solution method, which can be applied to different device configurations at an extremely small numerical cost. Furthermore, it leads to a very practical description of adiabatically driven systems in terms of frozen static solutions.

We prove that quantum mechanically the path-integral in this gauge localizes on associative submanifolds. Moreover on $M\times S^1$ the theory naturally reduces to the standard A-model on Calabi-Yau manifold and to a membrane theory localized on special Lagrangian submanifolds. We discuss some properties of topological membrane theory on $G_2$-manifolds. We also generalize our construction to topological $p$--branes on special manifolds by exploring a relation between vector cross product structures and TFTs.

description: This paper introduces the semiparametric error correction model for estimation of export-import relationship as an alternative to the least squares approach. The intent is to demonstrate how semiparametric error correction model can be used to estimate the relationship between Ghana’s export and import within the context of a generalized additive modelling (GAM) framework. The semiparametric results are compared to common parametric specification using the ordinary least squares regression. The results from the semiparametric and parametric error correction models (ECM) indicate that the error correction term and import variable are significant determinants of Ghana’s exports. On the basis of Akaike Information Criteria and Generalized Cross-Validation (GCV) scores, it is found that the semiparametric error correction model provides a better fit than the widely used parametric error correction model for modeling Ghana’s export-import relationship. The results of the analysis of variance provide further evidence of nonlinearity in Ghana’s export and import relationship. In effect, this paper demonstrates the usefulness of semiparametric error correction model in the estimation of export – import relationship.

Authors concentrate on long-term changes of prices, volumes and values of generic pesticides launched into the market. There were two strategic groups of producers identified: research and development (R&D) and generic. The analyses conducted prove that there is a relationship between the amount of generic products on the market and their prices. It is also clear that the number of competitors significantly influences the speed and range of price erosion. Used as examples generic plant protection products were placed on the market with an average price 15% lower comparing to branded pesticides.

description: The study aimed at investigating the effects of off-farm participation on technical efficiency of maize production in the Tolon district of the Northern Region, Ghana. The Logit regression model was used to analyze the determinants of off-farm participation while the stochastic frontier production function was used to model the determinants of maize output and technical efficiency. The empirical results from the logistic regression model indicate that age of farmer, educational attainment, farming experience, farm size, and previous farm income are significant drivers of farmers’ participation in off-farm activities. Farmers’ average technical efficiency level was 90.7% suggesting a 9.3% potential loss to inefficiency. Moreover, participation in off-farm activities had a negative influence on farmers’ technical efficiency level. The study, therefore, recommends that farm-level policy should be directed towards making the agricultural sector attractive by promoting investment and agricultural employment opportunities in the rural areas so as to ensure full commitment to farming activities.

The results given for the $^{240}$Pu nucleus are compared with a hydrodynamical model. The importance of taking into account the correction term due to the variation of the occupation number is stressed.

Demystifying a dean: more on 'Papal Aggression'
Creators: name: A Mullett, Michael
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 21, 277-281
description: The 2020 issue of CWAAS Transactions included my article on the response in Carlisle to the 'papal aggression' crisis of 1850. Further research has now clarified two matters arising from the article. The first is the correct identification of a member of the aristocracy alluded to, though not named, in the debate on 'papal aggression' that took place in Carlisle on 19 November 1850. The second question is the identity of a lady referred to, but, again, not named, in the same debate, along with the significance of her identification.

description: This paper introduces interior point algorithm as an alternative approach to simplex algorithm for solving farm resource allocation problem. The empirical result of interior point algorithm is compared with that of the simplex algorithm. It goes further to address a profit maximization problem. The result revealed several relevant patterns. Results of the interior point algorithm is similar to that of the simplex algorithm. Findings indicated that in both algorithms, the farm is to produce peppers, wheat which is irrigated and weeded manually, hire additional month of labour, and also purchase urea and muriate fertilizer to realize a similar amount of profit. Additionally, both algorithms suggested that practicing crop rotation where beans, if grown, should be altered with wheat cannot be possible since no beans will be grown. The Simplex algorithm saves 39 iterations over Interior Point algorithm in solving the farm resource allocation problem. The findings demonstrate that the interior point algorithm offers a useful alternative to the simplex algorithm when addressing farm resource allocation problem.

description: Fractals, a fascinating mathematical concept made popular in the eighties, remained for decades a beautiful scientific curiosity mainly. With the tremendous advances in nanofabrication techniques, such as nanolithography, it has become possible to design self-similar materials with fine structures down to nanometer scale. Here, we investigate the effects of self similarity on quantum electronic transport in graphene Sierpinski carpets. We find that a gap opens up in the electron spectrum in the middle of which lies a flat band of zeros energy modes. Although these states have a zero velocity, a supermetallic phase is found at the neutrality point. For Fermi energy located in the valence/conduction band and in the presence of a small inelastic scattering the system stays metallic and the transport is found strongly anisotropic.

Verifying neuronal codes : The statistical pattern recognition approach
Creators: name: Laubach, Mark
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, a variety of statistical methods have been proposed for studying neuronal codes. Many methods are developed by researchers specifically for their own data and are rarely validated by outside groups. An alternative approach is to use methods that have been developed by experts in signal processing and statistics, that have passed through peer review, and that are widely available. My research group uses such methods to study neural coding in the cerebral cortex. We study simultaneously record neuronal spike trains and wideband field potentials in the cerebral cortex of animals that perform psychophysical and sensorimotor behavioral tasks. This approach allows us to assess neuronal codes that are behaviorally relevant, free from the effects of anesthesia, and may be represented across multiple scales. We define relevant features in neuronal activity using wavelet-based methods and then use pattern recognition methods to quantify the information content of the features on a trial-by-trial basis. Using these methods, we are able to interpret the network properties of neuronal codes and, using a cluster of workstations, we can now analyze neuronal ensemble data sets during the actual performance of behavioral tasks. This approach leads to a new kind of experimental neurophysiology that allows for the verification of neuronal codes.

description: Interest in functional foods has been growing in sub-Saharan Africa due to consumer concerns with diet and nutrition. This paper analyses consumer awareness, perceptions and effects of the determinants of consumer willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for Moringa bread in Ghana. An ordered probit model is employed. The empirical results indicate that consumer knowledge of the nutritional and health benefits of Moringa bread is what matters most to consumers in respect of their WTP a higher premium for the product. Consumers with knowledge on Moringa products are more willing to pay above 50% price premiums for Moringa bread. Fruitful policy recommendations are made in the paper.

description: Uruguay's capital markets remain undeveloped despite the country's financial liberalization dating back to the 1970s, which was reinforced by passage of several additional laws in 1990s whose aim was to promote the local financial markets. The government is able to raise funds domestically in what is a liquid bond market, but private firms continue to fund themselves mostly out of retained earnings or else via bank loans and suppliers' credit. Moreover, when compared to others in Latin America, Uruguayan firms feature the highest ratios of liability dollarization, and corporate debt structures with the shortest maturities - currency and maturity mismatches that render them (and by extension, their creditors) extremely fragile. A deepening of the domestic capital market would probably alleviate this vulnerability of the Uruguayan economy. The financial fragility of Uruguayan firms amplified by corporate governance issues are the main impediments for the development of the capital markets. Given the current firm practices and the absence of sizeable institutional investors besides the Pension funds, the fixed income market will most likely remain a source of funding for very few firms.

description: We study operational security in computer network security, including infrastructure, internal processes, resources, information, and physical environment. Current works on developing a security framework focus on a security ontology that contributes to applying common vocabulary, but such an approach does not assist in constructing a foundation for a holistic security methodology. We focus on defining the bounds and creating a representation of a security system by developing a diagrammatic representation (i.e. a model) as a means to describe computer network processes. The model, referred to a thinging machine, is a first step toward developing a security strategy and plan. The general aim is to demonstrate that the representation of the security system plays a key role in making thinking visible through conceptual description of the operational environment, a region in which active security operations are undertaken. We apply the proposed model for email security by conceptually describing a real email system.
