description: The motivation of this article bases on the controversy in the recent literature about economic growth, sustainable development and environmental protection, started with the empirical evidences presented by Grossman and Krueger (1995, 1996), where the relationship between per capita GDP and emission of pollutants takes the shape of an inver-ted–U, denominated in the literature as Environmental Kuznets Curves (EKC). This article differs from others by contributing with further expla-nation stemming from economic development indicators. Despite being contested by many authors, several structural interpretations of EKC have been strongly sustained under ad hoc shield. The concern about such stylized fact is whether or not the economic growth itself generates an automatic protection to the environment, consequently to the main-tainable development. Based upon panel data for countries, it is veriﬁed that the variables that denote sustainable economic development present a weak relationship with per capita GDP to support an EKC representa-tion. There are also evidences for environmental curves in cubic format, which means rejection of EKC, besides most of the development indica-tors pointing out for divergences among countries.
Perturbation theory in covariant canonical quantization

description: I investigate a new idea of perturbation theory in covariant canonical quantization. I present preliminary results for a toy model of a harmonic oscillator with a quartic perturbation, and show that this method reproduces the quantized spectrum of standard quantum theory. This result indicates that when the exact solutions to classical equations are not known, covariant canonical quantization via perturbation theory could be a viable approximation scheme for finding observables, and suggests a physically interesting way of extending the scope of covariant canonical quantization in quantum gravity

The replicase associated Cucumber necrosis virus p33 targets to peroxisomes and is associated with the induction of necrosis in agro-infiltrated plants
Creators: name: Singh, Bhavana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Replication of Cucumber necrosis virus (CNV) RNA requires two viral-encoded proteins, p33 and its read-through product p92, both of which are believed to be components of CNV replicase enzyme. In this study we have investigated the subcellular location of CNV p33 in order to gain further insight into the CNV replication process. A p33/GFP fusion protein was cloned in an Agrobacterium tumefaciens binary vector and used to agroinfiltrate leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana. Co-infiltration experiments using a YFP-labeled peroxisomal marker (pYFP-SKL) along with confocal microscopy showed that the p33/GFP fusion protein targets to the peroxisomal membrane. In addition, peroxisomes of p33/GFP inoculated cells often showed a high level of aggregation. We also report that patches of necrosis-like symptoms develop on p33/GFP infiltrated leaves suggesting that p33 contributes to the necrotic symptoms typically observed in CNV-infected plants. Similar agroinfiltration experiments were conducted with CNV p20 which is the viral suppressor of gene silencing and a protein previously suggested to modulate symptom induction. The results indicate that p20 is not capable of inducing necrotic-like symptoms on its own in agroinfiltrated plants. Phenol red assays to assess'hydrogen peroxide production in leaf samples failed to show a clear correlation between necrosis and levels of peroxide accumulation in control and p33/GFP infiltrated plants. However, the DAB staining method indicated that peroxide accumulation occurred in p33/GFP infiltrated and CNV infected plants but not control plants. The association of CNV p33 with peroxisomes and its ability to induce necrosis-like symptoms in infiltrated plants suggests that p33 may contribute to the necrotic-like reaction via disruption of peroxisomal function. However, the involvement of peroxide accumulation in necrosis will require further experimentation.
Critical scattering in a time-dependent harmonic oscillator

description: Controlled time-decaying harmonic oscillator changes the threshold of decay order of the potential functions in order to exist the physical wave operators. This threshold was first reported by Ishida and Kawamoto \cite{IK} for the non-critical case. In this paper we deal with the critical case. As for the critical case, the situation changes drastically, and much more rigorous analysis is required than that of non-critical case. We study this critical behavior and clarify the threshold by the power of the log growth of the potential functions. Consequently, this result reveals the asymptotics for quantum dynamics of the critical case.
Self-field effects upon the critical current density of flat superconducting strips

description: We develop a general theory to account self-consistently for self-field effects upon the average transport critical current density Jc of a flat type-II superconducting strip in the mixed state when the bulk pinning is characterized by a field-dependent depinning critical current density Jp(B), where B is the local magnetic flux density. We first consider the possibility of both bulk and edge-pinning contributions but conclude that bulk pinning dominates over geometrical edge-barrier effects in state-of-the-art YBCO films and prototype second-generation coated conductors. We apply our theory using the Kim model, JpK(B) = JpK(0)/(1+|B|/B0), as an example. We calculate Jc(Ba) as a function of a perpendicular applied magnetic induction Ba and show how Jc(Ba) is related to JpK(B). We find that Jc(Ba) is very nearly equal to JpK(Ba) when Ba > Ba*, where Ba* is the value of Ba that makes the net flux density zero at the strip's edge. However, Jc(Ba) is suppressed relative to JpK(Ba) at low fields when Ba < Ba*, with the largest suppression occurring when Ba*/B0 is of order unity or larger.

description: Due to the changes in food consumption pattern by Brazilian families, together with an increase in urbanization and women labor participation, this article aims to study the inﬂuence of some socio-eco-nomic factors on the meat consumption pattern in Brazil. The data set used is a Household Budget Survey – “Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familia-res” (POF) 2002-2003”, carried out by the Brazilian Institute of Geogra-phy and Statistics (IBGE). Heckman two stages procedure was applied to the data to analyse the inﬂuence of socio-economic factors on the household consumption of beef, pork and poultry. The results show that the socio-economic and demographic factors have a large inﬂuence on the household meat consumption pattern in Brazil.

description: We numerically investigate the quench expansion dynamics of an initially confined state in a two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii lattice in the presence of external disorder. The expansion dynamics is conveniently described in the control parameter space of the energy and norm densities. The expansion can slow down substantially if the expected final state is a non-ergodic non-Gibbs one, regardless of the disorder strength. Likewise stronger disorder delays expansion. We compare our results with recent studies for quantum many body quench experiments.

description: We analyse a picture of transport in which two large but finite charged electrodes discharge across a nanoscale junction. We identify a functional whose minimisation, within the space of all bound many-body wavefunctions, defines an instantaneous steady state. We also discuss factors that favour the onset of steady-state conduction in such systems, make a connection with the notion of entropy, and suggest a novel source of steady-state noise. Finally, we prove that the true many-body total current in this closed system is given exactly by the one-electron total current, obtained from time-dependent density-functional theory.

description: Koopman mode decomposition (KMD) is a technique of nonlinear time-series analysis capable of decomposing data on complex spatio temporal dynamics into multiple modes oscillating with single frequencies, called the Koopman modes (KMs). We apply KMD to measurement data on oscillatory dynamics of a temperature field inside a room that is a complex phenomenon ubiquitous in our daily lives and has a clear technological motivation in energy-efficient air conditioning. To characterize not only the oscillatory field (scalar field) but also associated heat flux (vector field), we introduce the notion of a temperature gradient using the spatial gradient of a KM. By estimating the temperature gradient directly from data, we show that KMD is capable of extracting a distinct structure of the heat flux embedded in the oscillatory temperature field, relevant in terms of air conditioning.

Modelling the X-ray spectra of high velocity outflows from quasars
Creators: name: Sim, S. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: High velocity outflows from supermassive black holes have been invoked to explain the recent identification of strong absorption features in the hard X-ray spectra of several quasars. Here, Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations are performed to synthesise X-ray spectra from models of such flows. It is found that simple, parametric bi-conical outflow models with plausible choices for the wind parameters predict spectra that are in good qualitative agreement with observations in the 2 - 10 keV band. The influence on the spectrum of both the mass-loss rate and opening angle of the flow are considered: the latter is important since photon leakage plays a significant role in establishing an ionization gradient within the flow, a useful discriminant between spherical and conical outflow for this and other applications. Particular attention is given to the bright quasar PG1211+143 for which constraints on the outflow geometry and mass-loss rate are discussed subject to the limitations of the currently available observational data.

description: Recent progress in the nonperturbative solution of (3+1)-dimensional Yukawa theory and quantum electrodynamics (QED) and (1+1)-dimensional super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory will be summarized. The work on Yukawa theory has been extended to include two-boson contributions to the dressed fermion state and has inspired similar work on QED, where Feynman gauge has been found surprisingly convenient. In both cases, the theories are regulated in the ultraviolet by the inclusion of Pauli-Villars particles. For SYM theory, new high-resolution calculations of spectra have been used to obtain thermodynamic functions and improved results for a stress-energy correlator.

description: We study the stationary states of a quantum mechanical system describing an atom coupled to black-body radiation at positive temperature. The stationary states of the non-interacting system are given by product states, where the particle is in a bound state corresponding to an eigenvalue of the particle Hamiltonian, and the field is in its equilibrium state. We show that if Fermi's Golden Rule predicts that a stationary state disintegrates after coupling to the radiation field then it is unstable, provided the coupling constant is sufficiently small (depending on the temperature). The result is proven by analyzing the spectrum of the thermal Hamiltonian (Liouvillian) of the system within the framework of $W^*$-dynamical systems. A key element of our spectral analysis is the positive commutator method.

However, most of the studies on LPA’s has given little attention to the local productive arran-gements of agricultural nature. This study intends to analyze the LPA, of irrigated agriculture, called “Drop of water” in Quixeramobim, Ceará. It was used primary and secondary data that were obtained through bibliographical and documental researches, case study and ﬁeld rese-arches. The resulted were veriﬁed through of tabular and descriptive analyze. Inside the arrangement analyzed we could verify the involve-ment of several partners’ from different segments that participated in hi-gher or lower degree. This involvement of several partners’ establishing important instruments for introduction of innovations of product, pro-cess and organizational creating new competences and gains competitive advantages. However, it was veriﬁed the existence of obstacles related to the inexistence of inappropriate training centers for qualiﬁcation of the producers, absence of research laboratories and lack of more appropriate credit lines adjusted producer’s reality. In spite of these problems, we can conclude that there was gain of resulted from the collective efﬁciency that was created by this productive gathering. This arrangement is a proof that with some social organization of the local actor’s will be possible to change the difﬁcult reality of the families that earn from their income agriculture in the zone semi-arid of the Ceará.

description: The anthropic principle has been proposed as an explanation for the observed value of the cosmological constant. Here we revisit this proposal by allowing for variation between universes in the amplitude of the scale-invariant primordial cosmological density perturbations. We derive a priori probability distributions for this amplitude from toy inflationary models in which the parameter of the inflaton potential is smoothly distributed over possible universes. We find that for such probability distributions, the likelihood that we live in a typical, anthropically-allowed universe is generally quite small.

Le choix a porté sur l’une des méthodes d’évaluation dite indirecte : la méthode de productivité. Ce cadre d’analyse a requis l’estimationd’une fonction de production pour deux zones dont seule la qualité de l’eau d’irrigation diffère. En plus des facteurs de production, une variable dummy a été introduite pour caractériser la qualité de l’eau utilisée pour l’irrigation. Les résultats empiriques ont montré que l’augmentation de la salinité de 1%, engendre une diminution de la productivité de 15%, ce qui confirme les hypothèses de départ. (in English) Salinity is turned up to be the major problem of water resources in Tunisia. Given the magnitude of this phenomenon, including resource’s deterioration in the economic calculation becomes increasingly required. It is to internalize this externality through the cost adjustment by the economic value of degradation. The choice has focused on one of the so-called indirect methods of evaluation: the method of productivity. This analytical framework has required the estimation of a production function for two zones of which only the quality of irrigation water differs. In addition to production factors, a dummy variable was introduced to characterize the quality of water used for irrigation with a value of 1 indicating the state of degradation. Empirical results have shown that increasing the salinity of 1% causes a decrease in productivity by 15%, which confirms the initial assumptions.

description: We report the determination of abundances and isotopic ratios for C, O and Si in the photosphere of the red giant component of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis from new 2.284--2.402 $μ$m and 3.985--4.155 $μ$m spectroscopy. Abundances and isotopic ratios in the photosphere may be affected by (i) processes in the red giant interior which are brought to the surface during dredge-up, (ii) contamination of the red giant, either during the common envelope phase of the binary evolution or by material synthesised in recurrent nova eruptions, or a combination of the two. We find that the abundances of C, O and Si are reasonably consistent with the expected composition of a red giant after first dredge-up, as is the $^{16}$O/$^{17}$O ratio. The $^{28}$Si/$^{29}$Si ratio is found to be $8.6\pm3.0$, and that for $^{28}$Si/$^{30}$Si is $21.5\pm3.0$. The $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio ($10\pm2$) is somewhat lower than expected for first dredge-up. The $^{16}$O/$^{18}$O ratio ($41\pm3$) is highly inconsistent with that expected either from red giant evolution ($\sim550$) or from contamination of the red giant by the products of a nova thermonuclear runaway. In particular the C and O isotopic ratios taken in combination are a puzzle. We urge confirmation of our results using spectroscopy at high resolution. We also encourage a thorough theoretical study of the effects on the secondary star in a recurrent nova system of contamination by ejecta having anomalous abundances and isotopic ratios.

description: We study ballistic electron transport through a finite chain of quantum circular rings in the presence of spin-orbit interaction of strength α. For a single ring the transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained analytically and from them the conductance for a chain of rings as a function of αand of the wave vector k of the incident electron. We show that due to destructive spin interferences the chain can be totaly opaque for certain ranges of k the width of which depends on the value of α. A periodic modulation of the strength αor of the ring radius widens up the gaps considerably and produces a nearly binary conductance output.

description: This paper estimates the impact of an increase in Brazilian sugar and ethanol demand for exports upon the countries’ overall production and employment. The impacts were simulated considering each of the major cane producing areas of the country (Center-South and North-Northeast). An inter-regional input-output matrix for the Brazilian economy was used for that purpose. It was observed that a demand shock, resulting from an expansion of sugar exports presented an impact of greater magnitude upon the countries’ production and em-ployment when compared to the impact from an increase in ethanol. In addition, the results indicated that when the impact is generated at the North-Northeastern Brazil, production and employment is more affected than when it begins at the Center-South region of the country. The result of how the economic benefits are propagated, is important to identify policies and establish targets for regional production.

description: La flota europea dirigida a la pesquería de pez espada (Atlántico Norte) ha experimentado una rápida expansión en la última década; convirtiéndose en la principal productora al generar el mayor volumen de desembarcos, seguida por EE.UU., Canadá y Japón. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer y analizar para esta pesquería los tres factores que condicionan la actividad pesquera: condicionantes biológicos, de gestión, y económicos. En concreto, se detalla la situación biológica del recurso marino, muy preocupante a comienzos de los noventa; y la necesidad de su regulación internacional, señalando además las medidas de gestión en un ámbito nacional. A continuación se resaltan las características técnicas de la flota europea (compuesta básicamente por buques españoles y portugueses), algunos datos sobre esfuerzo pesquero ejercido por la misma, y el output generado en la pesquería en los últimos quince años. Por último, se realiza un análisis de la rentabilidad económica de las flotas española y portuguesa que operan en esta pesquería...The European Swordfish Fleet (North Atlantic) has showed a great growth in the last ten years, and since this fleet harvests the majority of catches, it is a principal producer in the fishery, followed by USA, Canada and Japan. The aim of this paper is to show and to analyse the three conditions that affect to the fishery activity: biological, of management and economic factors. First section presents biological situation of this marine resource (very worrying for early 1990s), the necessity to international management, and the European regulation. Second section includes the technical characteristics of this fleet (Spanish and Portuguese vessels basically), some figures about fishing effort and the landings in the fishery for the last fifteen years. Finally, the economic profitability of this fleet is analysed.
Validity of heavy traffic steady-state approximations in generalized Jackson Networks

description: We consider a single class open queueing network, also known as a generalized Jackson network (GJN). A classical result in heavy-traffic theory asserts that the sequence of normalized queue length processes of the GJN converge weakly to a reflected Brownian motion (RBM) in the orthant, as the traffic intensity approaches unity. However, barring simple instances, it is still not known whether the stationary distribution of RBM provides a valid approximation for the steady-state of the original network. In this paper we resolve this open problem by proving that the re-scaled stationary distribution of the GJN converges to the stationary distribution of the RBM, thus validating a so-called ``interchange-of-limits'' for this class of networks. Our method of proof involves a combination of Lyapunov function techniques, strong approximations and tail probability bounds that yield tightness of the sequence of stationary distributions of the GJN.

description: En primer lugar se explica la estructura y funcionamiento del ISD y sus antecedentes históricos, para pasar a continuación a describir la situación en la que el mismo se aplica en lo relativo a las explotaciones agrarias. Se describen las implicaciones recaudatorias que supondrían la supresión del impuesto y se buscan las razones económicas, y fundamentalmente jurídicas, en que se basa su desaparición en las herencias directas. Los fundamentos jurídicos se refieren tanto al derecho positivo, es decir la Constitución Española y las demás leyes incluido el derecho comparado, como a la interpretación que ha efectuado el Tribunal Constitucional. El trabajo se concluye en favor de la desaparición del ISD en las herencias directas, fundamentalmente en la transmisión hereditaria de las explotaciones agrarias...The objective of the work is to complete the required elimination of ISD for direct inheritance, with reference to hereditary transmission of farming activities. In the first instance, the structure and operability of ISD will be explained as well as its background followed by a description on the how ISD is applied to farming. Tax payment implications are described that entail tax suppression and economic and, more importantly, legal reasons are explored to base its elimination from direct inheritance. The legal basis refers to Substantive Law, rather the Spanish Constitution, as well as other laws including Comparative Law and interpretation made by the Constitutional Court.
Three essays on investments and incentives : an application to pension plans
Creators: name: Soumare, Issouf
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Despite significant diversification costs, a considerable number of defined contribution pension plans have large holdings of the shares of the company they work for. The first essay presents an incentive model in which the voluntary optimal company shareholdings of the worker is derived. The argument is that the worker voluntarily hold shares of his employer to benefit from his ability to adjust effort. In addition, the analysis provides a separate role for senior managers relative to other employees. The manager takes actions that influence the productivity of the entire work force. The worker on the other hand influences output by exerting effort. The optimal effort level will take into account the productivity decision of management while the productivity decision takes into account the worker's effort. In the second essay, I develop a model to study the equilibrium implications when some investors in the economy overweight a subset of stocks within their portfolio. I find that the excess returns for the overweighted stocks are lower, all else being equal. The riskfree rate increases and the market price of risk of the overweighted stock decreases, which create extra incentive for unconstrained agents to exit the stock market and hold bonds, hence clearing the market. The changes of stocks' volatilities are ambiguous. Finally, I provide an accurate quantification for agents' welfare. I also discuss the implications of my model in the context of defined contribution pension plans. In the third essay, a dynamic general equilibrium model for a two-country, two-good exchange economy in incomplete markets is developed. The model implies that when a domestic country caps foreign investment in some key industries in the domestic economy, the cost of capital of the protected industry increases, all else being equal, that of the non-protected industry decreases. On the other hand, when imposing restrictions on its residents' foreign investments, the domestic country improves its cost of capital, all else being equal. Furthermore, in both restricted economies, the cost of risk free borrowing and lending is lowered. However, when domestic residents are capped in their foreign investment, the uncovered interest rate parity relationship is violated. By artificially restricting agents' investment, countries can reduce financial contagion effects because stock markets are affected asymmetrically. This result contributes to the debate on why recent crises in international financial markets have had different effects on countries located in same geographical area or having similar economic characteristics. The effects of the restrictions on stock market volatilities are ambiguous. Finally, we show that when the restriction is protective, the welfare of the agents of the country imposing the restriction increases. This result helps us understand why some countries are so reluctant to change their protective financial policies.

description: Observations of up to ten carbon monoxide (CO and isotopomers) transitions are presented to study the interstellar C18O/C17O ratio towards 21 positions in the nearby (d~140pc) low-mass star forming cloud rho Oph. A map of the C18O J=1-0 distribution of parts of the cloud is also shown. An average 12C18O/12C17O isotopomeric ratio of 4.11 +/- 0.14, reflecting the 18O/17O isotope ratio, is derived from Large Velocity Gradient (LVG) calculations. From LTE column densities we derive a ratio of 4.17 +/-0.26. These calculations also show that the kinetic temperature decreases from about 30 K in the cloud envelope to about 10 K in the cloud cores. This decrease is accompanied by an increase of the average molecular hydrogen density from 10^4 cm-3 to >10^5 cm-3. Towards some lines of sight C18O optical depths reach values of order unity.

Independence of the relaxation of a supercooled fluid of its microscopic dynamics: need for yet another extension of the mode-coupling theory

description: Using Brownian Dynamics computer simulations we show that the relaxation of a supercooled Brownian system is qualitatively the same as that of a Newtonian system. In particular, near the so-called mode-coupling transition temperature, dynamic properties of the Brownian system exhibit the same deviations from power-law behavior as those of the Newtonian one. Thus, similar dynamical events cut off the idealized mode-coupling transition in Brownian and Newtonian systems. We discuss implications of this finding for extended mode-coupling theory. In addition, we point out and discuss the difference between our findings and experimental results, and present an alternative interpretation of some of our simulation data.
