A first phylogenetic appraisal of two allied genera of Afrotropical Ceratocanthinae: Melanophilharmostes and Pseudopterorthochaetes (Coleoptera: Hybosoridae)
Creators: name: Ballerio, Alberto
Publisher: name: Fragmenta Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: Two genera of Ceratocanthinae (Coleoptera Scarabaeoidea Hybosoridae), Melanophilharmostes Paulian, 1968 and Pseudopterorthochaetes Paulian, 1977, are evaluated through a cladistic morphological approach, resulting in the transfer of Melanophilharmostes demirei Paulian, 1977 to Pseudopterorthochaetes. All species are catalogued and all except two are keyed. Three new species are described: Melanophilharmostes poggii n. sp. from Annobon island (Ecuatorial Guinea), Pseudopterorthochaetes genierorum n. sp. and P. miomboincola n. sp., both from Mozambique. Melanophilharmostes zicsii (Paulian, 1968) is recorded for the first time for Burkina Faso, marking the northernmost record for African Ceratocanthinae. The records in Sudanian savannas and Miombo woodlands extend the ecological range of the subfamily.

description: Real data often appear in the form of multiple incomplete views. Incomplete multi-view clustering is an effective method to integrate these incomplete views. Previous methods only learn the consistent information between different views and ignore the unique information of each view, which limits their clustering performance and generalizations. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel View Variation and View Heredity approach (V3H). Inspired by the variation and the heredity in genetics, V3H first decomposes each subspace into a variation matrix for the corresponding view and a heredity matrix for all the views to represent the unique information and the consistent information respectively. Then, by aligning different views based on their cluster indicator matrices, V3H integrates the unique information from different views to improve the clustering performance. Finally, with the help of the adjustable low-rank representation based on the heredity matrix, V3H recovers the underlying true data structure to reduce the influence of the large incompleteness. More importantly, V3H presents possibly the first work to introduce genetics to clustering algorithms for learning simultaneously the consistent information and the unique information from incomplete multi-view data. Extensive experimental results on fifteen benchmark datasets validate its superiority over other state-of-the-arts.

description: We present a simple and practical protocol for the solution of a secure multiparty communication task, the secret sharing, and its experimental realization. In this protocol, a secret message is split among several parties in a way that its reconstruction require the collaboration of the participating parties. In the proposed scheme the parties solve the problem by a sequential communication of a single qubit. Moreover we show that our scheme is equivalent to the use of a multiparty entangled GHZ state but easier to realize and better scalable in practical applications.

Year: 2003
Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: This research focuses on evaluating the main characteristics that are considered in commodity procurement decisions used by food manufacturers. The research contributes to the literature by filling a gap in both the commodity and procurement literature. There is a large literature on commodity selling, but very little on commodity procurement. Further, much of the literature on procurement focuses on non-commodity products, not commodity products. A case study approach was used to determine the factors that affect commodity procurement decisions and to examine the strategic nature of commodity procurement departments. Further, the research developed a model of commodity procurement decision making. First, a commodity procurement department must maintain supply. Once this is accomplished, a commodity procurement department can progress to a profit-focused strategy. Finally, the commodity procurement department can expand by offering additional services to customers, such as designing promotional programs.
Exhibiting Ireland in the sixties : Rosc
Creators: name: Laurence Allen, Antonia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: 1967 in Dublin, Ireland, an exhibition opened its doors to a suspecting public. Rose '67 was a work of art in itself. It purported to display work from fifty of the 'best' international artists in the world. Rose was to occur every four years and be run by a committee who chose a jury of three to select works. Most of the art was contemporary, completed in the previous four years and displayed in a large hall on the grounds of the Royal Dublin Society, famous for its annual Dublin horse show. Like the celebrated Biennales which litter the world, Rose was a product of its homeland, and it is my task in this paper to unravel the specificities of Dublin in the sixties to reveal the cultural significance of this exhibition. During this decade, Ireland was governed by a group of officials breaking away from a revolutionary^based nationalism. This sentiment had built Irish sovereignty on the power of Catholicism, rural life, and Gaelic history. The new nation was being defined by a group who saw the economic benefits of joining the European Economic Community, solidifying business ties with America and internationalizing Irish industry. No longer were the Irish 'dancing at the crossroads,' in Eamon de Valera's famous words. Instead, the avenues of economic expansion and global politics were eagerly trod. Given these initiatives, it is curious to discover that Rose '67, while showcasing the world's contemporary art, chose to deny Irish artists a chance to exhibit their work. The Irish were represented at Rose '67 with an exhibition of ancient Celtic art. My contention is that Rose '67 was a project reflecting the Irish government's plans to 'modernize' Ireland in the 1960s. In being represented through a series of contemporary art shows, Ireland could be seen.as consistently tied to a 'modern' cultural project, and continually 'up-to-the-minute.' Rose '67 attempted to connect the past with a present tense and secure it with a future, by linking Celtic traditions with modern movements.

description: US ready-to-eat breakfast cereals entered the Chinese market in the mid-1990s. In the past years, this all-American food has been generating business losses. Such underperformance calls for prompt strategic modification by the cereal investors. This study focuses on foreign entry strategy and product strategy, and characterizes a combination of literature review and case study. Literature review seeks appropriate theories and frameworks, and therefore renders a sound conceptual foundation for the later analysis. Case study proposes a generic entry/product strategy, critiques current company-specific strategies, an d provides recommendations for future improvement. Selected in the case study are three brand-name cereal manufacturers, including Kellogg, Quaker Oats, and General Mills, with Kellogg being the focus and the others serving as a comparison.

description: The diving bell spider Argyroneta aquatica is the only known spider to conduct a wholly aquatic life. For this reason, it has been the object of an array of studies concerning different aspects of its peculiar biology such as reproductive behavior and sexual dimorphism, physiology, genetic and silk. On the other hand, besides some empirical observations, the autoecology of this spider is widely understudied. We conducted an ecological study in a resurgence located in the Po Plain (Northern Italy, Province of Vercelli) hosting a relatively rich population of Argyroneta aquatica, aiming at identifying the ecological factors driving its presence at the micro-habitat level. By means of a specific sampling methodology, we acquired distributional data of the spiders in the study area and monitored physical-chemical and habitat structure parameters at each plot. We analyzed the data through Bernoulli Generalized Linear Models (GLM). Results pointed out a significant positive effect of the presence of aquatic vegetation in the plot. In addition, the presence of A. aquatica was significantly associated with areas of the resurgence characterized at the same time by high prey availability and low density of predators. Considering the ecological importance and rarity of this species, we update and revise the data on the distribution of A. aquatica in Italy.

description: The electronic structure of In$_{2-x}$V$_x$O$_3$ ($x=0.08$) has been investigated using photoemission spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The V $2p$ core-level PES and XAS spectra revealed trivalent electronic state of the V ion, consistent with the substitution of the V ion for the In site. The V 3d partial density of states obtained by the resonant PES technique showed a sharp peak above the O $2p$ band. While the O $1s$ XAS spectrum of In$_{2-x}$V$_x$O$_3$ was similar to that of In$_2$O$_3$, there were differences in the In $3p$ and 3d XAS spectra between V-doped and pure In$_2$O$_3$. The observations give clear evidence for hybridization between the In conduction band and the V 3d orbitals in In$_{2-x}$V$_x$O$_3$.

A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF THE BEEF SUBSECTOR IN THE PHILIPPINES

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1983
Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: The average per capita protein consumption in the Philippines is very low, only 44.1 grams annually. This is primarily due both to the limited income of consumers and the inadequate supply of protein source products such as fish, pork, chicken, eggs, beef, and vegetables. The supply of protein source products from local sources has long been lagging behind the demand for domestic consumption. The reason for this is that expansion of the more traditional animal protein sources such as pork and chicken is severely constrained by the shortage of feed-grains and the strong competition for the use of the grains for direct human consumption. The short-run alternative adopted to solve the problem was to supplement local supply by importing meat and meat products. But this has a possible dampening effect on the set of incentives faced by the local producers and might even trap the country into a costly and unstable supply arrangement. One feasible alternative to increase meat supply is to increase cattle production. This has great potential because the country is endowed with abundant indigenous resources which are not yet fully utilized, such as farm by-products, pasture land naturally covered with native grasses, under- and unemployed labor, and the most salient factor--climatic conditions suited for a year-long forage production. This study is intended to be a preliminary study with the general objective of applying the subsection framework in describing the beef subsection in the Philippines and in identifying problems, constraints and potential opportunities for improvement. Specifically, this study aims to provide: a) a description of the organization and structure of the beef-cattle subsection, which can serve as a basis for designing more detailed research for policy, program and project analysis in the future; b) a description of the coordinating mechanisms and institutions; c) a description of the subsection conduct and performance; d) an initial partial diagnosis of problems, bottlenecks, constraints and opportunities in the subsection; and e) a list of research questions needed to diagnose the subsection and improve policy, program, and project planning.

description: Recently, the Higgs boson masses in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and their mixing have been calculated using the complex Two-Higgs-DoubletModel (cTHDM) as an effective field theory (EFT) of the MSSM. Here, we discuss the implementation of this calculation, which we improve in several aspects, into the hybrid framework of FeynHiggs by combing the cTHDM-EFT calculation with the existing fixed-order calculation. This combination allows accurate predictions also in the intermediate regime where some SUSY particles are relatively light, some relatively heavy and some in between. Moreover, the implementation provides precise predictions for the Higgs decay rates and production cross-sections.

description: Credit has long been recognized as a necessary input in the modernization of agriculture. Yet in most developing countries, institutional credit is available to only a small percentage of farmers and, in general, it has been the larger farmer who has benefitted. Recent recognition of this fact has helped focus on changes or institutional innovations which might reach out to the small farmer. To formulate a mix of policies capable of serving small farmers, it is useful to review the structure of those organizations which supply credit in Thailand, with emphasis on comparative data for the Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) and commercial banks.

description: Investment plays an important role in economic development. It can be divided into public and private investments. The difference lies in the purpose and way of evaluation of each one. Generally speaking, public investments are more socially directed than private ones. Both public and private investments are necessary in the economic development process. It is commonly recognized that most public investments preceded by a feasibility study. Feasibility studies may be defined as a systematic way of compiling and presenting the data necessary for accepting or rejecting an investment. The purpose of this paper is to present some methodological information on how to prepare and present market studies in developing countries, with the specific aim of looking for new investment opportunities and to illustrate the methodology with consideration of a beef slaughtering example.

description: If gravitational perturbations are quantized into gravitons in analogy with the electromagnetic field and photons, the resulting graviton interactions should lead to an entangling interaction between massive objects. We suggest a test of this prediction. To do this, we introduce the concept of interactive quantum information sensing. This novel sensing protocol is tailored to provable verification of weak dynamical entanglement generation between a pair of systems. We show that this protocol is highly robust to typical thermal noise sources. The sensitivity can moreover be increased both using an initial thermal state and/or an initial phase of entangling via a non-gravitational interaction. We outline a concrete implementation testing the ability of the gravitational field to generate entanglement between an atomic interferometer and mechanical oscillator. Preliminary numerical estimates suggest that near-term devices could feasibly be used to perform the experiment.

description: Magnetic flux front and induction contours in superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-d films with defect size s ~ l (superconducting coherence length) and s > l are studied by magneto-optical imaging. Robust self-affine spatial correlation was observed using scaling analysis in the small pinning-dominated (s ~ l) disorderd films. The roughness exponent was determined to be ~ 0.66, independent of numbers of defects (or the film thickness). When the disorder landscape also included a distribution of large defects (s >> l), the flux front and induction contours exhibited self-similarity, with a fractal dimension to be ~ 1.33 using the box-counting method. The remarkably different flux penetration patterns were shown to be the manifestation of self-organized criticality at different length scales.

description: Results of Struwe, Grillakis, Struwe-Shatah, Kapitanski, Bahouri-Shatah, Bahouri-Gérard and Nakanishi have established global wellposedness, regularity, and scattering in the energy class for the energy-critical nonlinear wave equation $\Box u = u^5$ in $\R^{1+3}$, together with a spacetime bound $$ \| u \|_{L^4_t L^{12}_x(\R^{1+3})} \leq M(E(u))$$ for some finite quantity M(E(u)) depending only on the energy E(u) of u. We reprove this result, and show that this quantity obeys a bound of at most exponential type in the energy, and specifically $M(E) \leq C (1+E)^{C E^{105/2}}$ for some absolute constant C > 0. The argument combines the quantitative local potential energy decay estimates of these previous papers with arguments used by Bourgain and the author for the analogous nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

description: Implementation of an antenna array on a 5G mobile phone chassis is crucial in ensuring the radio link quality especially at millimeter-waves. However, we generally lack the ability to design antennas under practical operational conditions involving body effects of a mobile user in a repeatable manner. We developed numerical and physical phantoms of a human body for evaluation of mobile handset antennas at 28 GHz. While the numerical phantom retains a realistic and accurate body shape, our physical phantom has much simpler hexagonal cross-section to represent a body. Gains of the phased antenna array configuration on a mobile phone chassis, called co-located array is numerically and experimentally evaluated. The array is formed by placing two sets of 4-element dual-polarized patch antenna arrays, called two modules, at two locations of a mobile phone chassis. Modules are intended to collect the maximum amount of energy to the single transceiver chain. Spherical coverage of the realized gain by the array shows that the experimental statistics of the realized gains across entire solid angles agree with numerical simulations. We thereby demonstrate that our antenna evaluation method reproduces the reality and our phantom serves repeatable tests of antenna array prototypes at 28 GHz.

Cholinergic modulation of medial vestibular nucleus neurons of the gerbil in vitro
Creators: name: Belzile, Denise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The actions of various cholinergic agonists on 135 medial vestibular nucleus (MVN) neurons were investigated in in vitro brainstem preparations from young gerbils (p10-p15). Changes in conductance and membrane potential were determined using the whole cell patch clamp technique. Both muscarinic agonists (oxotremorine at concentrations of 5-20 µM) and mixed cholinergic agonists (acetylcholine and carbachol at concentrations of 10-20 µM) produced complex responses in the neurons. The membrane responses persisted on blockade of action potentials by application of 0.3 µM TTX. Increases and decreases in conductance with depolarizations and hyperpolarizations of the membrane potential were observed with all three drugs. There was no correlation between the changes in conductance and the changes in membrane potential. In order to examine the nicotinic responses of MVN neurons, the effects of acetylcholine and carbachol were studied during blockade of muscarinic receptors with the antagonist scopolamine (10 µM). Once again, a variety of membrane changes were observed, indicating a nicotinic response in these neurons. Acetylcholine applied simultaneously with the nicotinic blocker, mecamylamine (10 µM), also produced a mixed response in these neurons, indicating the presence of muscarinic receptors in this nucleus. The simultaneous application of scopolamine and mecamylamine failed to completely block the response of MVN neurons to acetylcholine. Both antagonists were found to have direct effects on MVN neurons, suggesting that endogenous acetylcholine is present within the slice preparation, and may affect the MVN in vivo. The results of these studies imply a more complex role for acetylcholine in the MVN than previously imagined. In addition, we have demonstrated a significant nicotinic response within these cells.

description: Degradation of coral reefs may affect the number of tourists visiting the reef and, consequently, the economic sectors that rely on healthy reefs for their income generation. A Contingent Behaviour approach is used to estimate the effect of reef degradation on demand for recreational dive and snorkel trips, for a case study of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in Australia. We assessed how reef degradation affects GBR tourism and to what extent reef-trip demand depends on the visitors' socio-economic characteristics. A count data model is developed, and results indicate that an average visitor would undertake about 60% less reef trips per year given a combined 80%, 30% and 70% decrease in coral cover, coral diversity and fish diversity, respectively. This corresponds to a decrease in tourism expenditure for reef trips to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park of about A$ 136 million per year.

description: New records of Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli, 1763) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) are reported for Abruzzo (Italy), together with a review of its distribution in this region. O. eremita is a saproxylic beetle dependent on the presence of hollow deciduous trees with abundant wood mould in their cavities. The major threats for the species are habitat loss and fragmentation. EU Habitats Directive requests to the member States its protection and the monitoring of its conservation status. Detection of its occurrence is the first step to protect the species. The surveys have been carried out in ten sites of Abruzzo by using black cross-windows traps baited with specific pheromone. The species has been recorded for the first time in the Sant’Antonio forest and its presence is confirmed in the Peligna Valley, after a decade. The populations seem to be confined to small patches of suitable habitats. At local level, the abandonment of the pollarding practice (willow and beech forests) and the use of pollarded trees as biomass for fuel are the major threats for this species. Indeed some key actions, such as the protection of old hollow trees and the continuation of pollarding practice in rural landscape, could be key factors for the conservation strategies of the species in the study area.

description: Bohmian mechanics is a causal interpretation of quantum mechanics in which particles describe trajectories guided by the wave function. The dynamics in the vicinity of nodes of the wave function, usually called vortices, is regular if they are at rest. However, vortices generically move during time evolution of the system. We show that this movement is the origin of chaotic behavior of quantum trajectories. As an example, our general result is illustrated numerically in the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator.

The cave crickets of the genus Dolichopoda from Evvia and Skyros islands: formal description of D. octhoniai and D. saraolacosi (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae)

description: Two species, D. octhoniai from Evvia and D. saraolacosi from Skyros island (Greece) are morphologically described. These two species were collected for the first time at the end of the ‘70s but they were recorded only as nomina nuda without any formal taxonomic description. D. octhoniai is very similar to the other Evvian species D. makrikapa and to D. vandeli and D. petrochilosi from Viotia and Attiki respectively, differing from them only by a few morphological characters. On the other hand D. saraolacosi is very different from all the other species of Central Greece and West Aegean showing some affinity only with the Attiki species D. insignis and with the South Evvian species D. cassagnaui. Relationships among the species inhabiting caves of this area of Greece are discussed in relation to the complex geological history of the West Aegean area and the adjacent mainland.

description: This paper investigates empirically the determinants of individuals' attitudes towards preventing environmental damage in Spain using data from the World Values Survey and European Values Survey for the periods 1990, 1995 and 1999/2000. Compared to many previous studies, we present a richer set of independent variables and found that strongly neglected variables such as political interest and social capital have a strong impact on individuals' preferences to prevent environmental damage. An interesting aspect in our study is the ability to investigate environmental preferences over time. The results show strong differences over time. Finally, using disaggregated data for Spanish regions, we also find significant regional differences.

Unbalanced Incomplete Multi-view Clustering via the Scheme of View Evolution: Weak Views are Meat; Strong Views do Eat

description: Incomplete multi-view clustering is an important technique to deal with real-world incomplete multi-view data. Previous works assume that all views have the same incompleteness, i.e., balanced incompleteness. However, different views often have distinct incompleteness, i.e., unbalanced incompleteness, which results in strong views (low-incompleteness views) and weak views (high-incompleteness views). The unbalanced incompleteness prevents us from directly using the previous methods for clustering. In this paper, inspired by the effective biological evolution theory, we design the novel scheme of view evolution to cluster strong and weak views. Moreover, we propose an Unbalanced Incomplete Multi-view Clustering method (UIMC), which is the first effective method based on view evolution for unbalanced incomplete multi-view clustering. Compared with previous methods, UIMC has two unique advantages: 1) it proposes weighted multi-view subspace clustering to integrate these unbalanced incomplete views, which effectively solves the unbalanced incomplete multi-view problem; 2) it designs the low-rank and robust representation to recover the data, which diminishes the impact of the incompleteness and noises. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that UIMC improves the clustering performance by up to 40% on three evaluation metrics over other state-of-the-art methods.

description: Philorhizus occitanus sp. n. from the South-Western Alps (Ellero Valley and Maira Valley) is described. This new species is similar to P. crucifer and P. notatus as far as the external morphology is concerned, but it is distinguished by the color pattern and the shape of elytra, as well as by the features of the median lobe of aedeagus. P. liguricus, which is easily distinguished from P. occitanus sp. n. by the external morphology, was already recorded from the South-Western Alps and from the Ligurian Apennines. P. occitanus sp. n. is a likely close relative of P. notatus, although the affinities of this relict flightless new species remain uncertain.

description: We examine starting point bias in CV surveys with dichotomous choice payment questions and follow-ups, and double-bounded models of the WTP responses. We wish to investigate (1) the seriousness of the biases for the location and scale parameters of WTP in the presence of starting point bias; (2) whether or not these biases depend on the distribution of WTP and on the bids used; and (3) how well a commonly used diagnostic for starting point bias - a test of the null that bid set dummies entered in the right-hand side of the WTP model are jointly equal to zero-performs under various circumstances. Because starting point bias cannot be separately identified in any reliable manner from biases caused by model specification, we use simulation approaches to address this issue. Our Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the effect of ignoring starting point bias is complex and depends on the true distribution of WTP. Bid set dummies tend to soak up misspecifications in the distribution assumed by the researcher for the latent WTP, rather than capturing the presence of starting point bias. Their power in detecting starting point bias is low.

description: A suitable splitting of tachyon field equation is able to disclose non trivial properties of Born-Infeld (some known, some unexpected) and Polyakov actions; the tachyon equation also can be analyzed in some detail. The analysis displays an intriguing connection between sine-Gordon theory and some crucial issues such as the emergence of perturbative string states when a D-Brane and an anti-D-Brane annihilate and the confinement of charged D-Branes.

description: This an extended version of the previous preprint dated by February 2005. We prove that the Chow motive of an anisotropic projective homogeneous variety of type F4 is isomorphic to the direct sum of twisted copies of a generalized Rost motive. In particular, we provide an explicit construction of a generalized Rost motive for a generically splitting variety for a symbol in K_3^M(k)/3. We also establish a motivic isomorphism between two anisotropic non-isomorphic projective homogeneous varieties of type F4. All our results hold for Chow motives with integral coefficients.
