Economic development and social change in rural Japan : a case study of Shiwa Community, Iwate Prefecture
Creators: name: Shinpo, Mitsuru
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study examines post-war social change in a Japanese farming community. Social change is defined as changes in the three sets of rules for social behaviour in a social system. Three sets of factors affected social change in rural Japan: (1) changes in the policies and programmes of the central government, (2) changes in the national economy, and (3) the adoption by farmers of new farm techniques. The central government has aimed at the industrialization of Japanese agriculture. Through its policies and programmes the government removed or modified obstacles to economic growth and provided conditions favourable to the growth of the farm economy. The Japanese economy has grown at a rapid rate. National economic growth together with governmental policies and the farmers' incentive to increase farm output has resulted in significant changes in rural Japan. For example, these factors have increased farmers' access to economic resources, absorbed rural young people into industrial centres, motivated farmers to mechanize farm practices thereby raising production costs, and made necessary an increase in household income. Farmers have adopted new farm techniques. Despite the exodus of youth from the rural areas, as farmers mechanize their practices they developed a surplus of labour. Farmers have diversified production activities by investing the surplus labour into non-farm operations, or into farm operations when competent change-agents existed. Their adoption of new farm techniques modified the old sets of rules for social behaviour, and social change took place in rural Japan. If the present trends continue, Japanese farming communities will look very different in the future. First, present suburban communities will disappear as "farming" communities. Second, the majority of present farming households will leave farming, and only a small number of larger farmers will remain in those communities in which the residents make no deliberate efforts to differentiate their farm operations. Third, a large number of farming households will remain farming in those communities in which the residents will differentiate farm operations; these communities will be small in number, but the community I studied will be one of them.

description: We have used the Monte Carlo based computer models to show that selection pressure could affect the distribution of recombination hotspots along the chromosome. Close to critical crossover rate, where genomes may switch between the Darwinian purifying selection or complementation of haplotypes, the distribution of recombination events and the force of selection exerted on genes affect the structure of chromosomes. The order of expression of gene s and their location on chromosome may decide about the extinction or survival of competing populations.

On the theory of astronomical maser. II. Polarization of maser radiation
Creators: name: Dinh-V-Trung
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we investigate the polarization property of the radiation amplified by astronomical masers in the presence of a strong magnetic field. Our model explicitly takes into account the broadband nature of the radiation field and the interaction of the radiation with the maser transition J=1--0. The amplification of different realisations of the background continuum radition by the maser is directly simulated and the Stokes parameters of the radiation field are then obtained by averaging over the ensemble of emerging maser radiation. For isotropic pumping and partially saturated masers we find that the maser radiation is linearly polarized in two representative cases where the magnetic field {\bf B} makes an angle $θ$=30$^0$ and $θ$=90$^0$ to the maser axis. The linear polarization for maser radiation obtained in our simulations for both cases are in agreement with the results of the standard model. Furthermore, no instability during amplification is seen in our simulations. Therefore, we conclude that there is no problem with the previous numerical investigations of maser polarization in the unsaturated and partially saturated regime.

description: A temperature-sensitive mutant of Corynebacterium glutamicum is widely used as the fermentation strain in L-glutamate industrial production. Rapid synthesis of L-glutamate in this type of strain can be triggered by raising the culture temperature. However, the molecular mechanism of the temperature-sensitivity trait and L-glutamate excretion has not been clarified. In this study, we compared the genome sequence of an industrial L-glutamate-producing strain C. glutamicum TCCC11822 with the wild-type strain C. glutamicum ATCC13032. Seven mutant genes related to cell membrane synthesis were screened and separately integrated into the genome of C. glutamticum ATCC13032 to replace the corresponding genes. All the recombinant strains showed temperature-sensitivity and increased L-glutamate excretion. Electron microscopy showed that there was no significant change in cell morphology of recombinant strains at different temperatures. Genotypes found in this article can be applied to the construction of temperature-sensitive engineering strains and the regulation of cell permeability.

On the ``mirror'' side these generating functions can be identified with the simplest prepotentials of complex manifolds, and I present few more exactly calculable examples of them. For the higher genus curves, corresponding in this context to the non Abelian gauge theories via the topological gauge/string duality, similar solutions are constructed using extended basis of Abelian differentials, generally with extra singularities at the branching points of the curve.

description: Besides supersymmetry, the other prime candidate of physics beyond the standard model (SM), crying out for verification at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is extra-dimension. To hunt for effects of Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of known fermions and bosons is very much in the agenda of the LHC. These KK states arise when the SM particles penetrate in the extra space-like dimension(s). In this paper, we consider a 5d scenario, called `Universal Extra Dimension', where the extra space coordinate, compactified on an orbifold $S^1/Z_2$, is accessed by {\em all} the particles. The KK number ($n$) is conserved at all tree level vertices. This entails the production of KK states in pairs and renders the lightest KK particle stable, which leaves the detector carrying away missing energy. The splitting between different KK flavors is controlled by the zero mode masses and the bulk- and brane-induced one-loop radiative corrections. We concentrate on the production of an $n=1$ KK electroweak gauge boson in association with an $n=1$ KK quark. This leads to a signal consisting of {\em only one} jet, one or more leptons and missing $p_T$. For definiteness we usually choose the inverse radius of compactification to be $R^{-1} = 500$ GeV, which sets the scale of the lowest lying KK states. We show on a case-by-case basis (depending on the number of leptons in the final state) that with 10 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity at the LHC with $\sqrt{s}$ = 14 TeV this signal can be detected over the SM background by imposing appropriate kinematic cuts. We record some of the expectations for a possible intermediate LHC run at $\sqrt{s}$ = 10 TeV and also exhibit the integrated luminosity required to obtain a 5$σ$ signal as a function of $R^{-1}$.

Evidence of a Two-Component Jet in the Afterglow of GRB 070419A

description: A two-component jet model is proposed to explain the unusual afterglow of GRB 070419A. Regarding the optical light curve, a wide "jet" with an opening angle of > 30-40 degrees is assumed to produce the late shallow decay, while the three early power-law segments must be caused by a narrow jet with an opening angle of about 2-4 degrees. Additional energy injections to both components are required. Late X-ray emission may come from either the wide jet or the narrow one. If the latter is correct, the jets may run into an ISM environment and the temporal index of the late energy injection q may be about 0.65.

description: We investigate the case of CII 158 micron observations for SPICA/SAFARI using a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulation of the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) and the Meudon PDR code. The MHD simulation consists of two converging flows of warm gas (10,000 K) within a cubic box 50 pc in length. The interplay of thermal instability, magnetic field and self-gravity leads to the formation of cold, dense clumps within a warm, turbulent interclump medium. We sample several clumps along a line of sight through the simulated cube and use them as input density profiles in the Meudon PDR code. This allows us to derive intensity predictions for the CII 158 micron line and provide time estimates for the mapping of a given sky area.

description: The dynamics of a system formed by a finite number $N$ of globally coupled bistable oscillators and driven by external forces is studied focusing on a global variable defined as the arithmetic mean of each oscillator variable. Several models based on truncation schemes of a hierarchy of stochastic equations for a set of fluctuating cumulant variables are presented. This hierarchy is derived using Itô stochastic calculus, and the noise terms in it are treated using an asymptotic approximation valid for large $N$. In addition, a simplified one-variable model based on an effective potential is also considered. These models are tested in the framework of the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. In turn, they are used to explain in simple terms the very large gains recently observed in these finite systems.

description: We propose a method to construct a proposal density for the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations of the GARCH model. The proposal density is constructed adaptively by using the data sampled by the MCMC metho d itself. It turns out that autocorrelations between the data generated with our adaptive proposal density are greatly reduced. Thus it is concluded that the adaptive construction method is very efficient and works well for the MCMC simulations of the GARCH model.

Can Sodium Abundances of A-Type Stars Be Reliably Determined from Na I 5890/5896 Lines?

description: An extensive non-LTE abundance analysis based on Na I 5890/5896 doublet lines was carried out for a large unbiased sample of ~120 A-type main-sequence stars (including 23 Hyades stars) covering a wide v_e sin i range of ~10--300 km/s, with an aim to examine whether the Na abundances in such A dwarfs can be reliably established from these strong Na I D lines. The resulting abundances ([Na/H]_{58}), which were obtained by applying the T_eff-dependent microturbulent velocities of ξ~2--4 km/s with a peak at T_eff ~ 8000 K (typical for A stars), turned out generally negative with a large diversity (from ~-1 to ~0), while showing a sign of v_e sin i-dependence (decreasing toward higher rotation). However, the reality of this apparently subsolar trend is very questionable, since these [Na/H]_{58} are systematically lower by ~0.3--0.6 dex than more reliable [Na/H]_{61} (derived from weak Na I 6154/6161 lines for sharp-line stars). Considering the large ξ-sensitivity of the abundances derived from these saturated Na I D lines, we regard that [Na/H]_{58} must have been erroneously underestimated, suspecting that the conventional ξvalues are improperly too large at least for such strong high-forming Na I 5890/5896 lines, presumably due to the depth-dependence of ξdecreasing with height. The nature of atmospheric turbulent velocity field in mid-to-late A stars would have to be more investigated before we can determine reliable sodium abundances from these strong resonance D lines.

description: An urban spatial cluster (USC) describes one or more geographic agglomerations and the linkages among cities. USCs are conventionally delineated based on predefined administrative boundaries of cities, without considering the dynamic and evolving nature of the spatial extent of USCs. This study uses Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) nighttime light (NTL) satellite images to quantitatively detect and characterize the evolution of USCs. We propose a dynamic minimum spanning tree (DMST) and a subgraph partitioning method to identify the evolving USCs over time, which considers both the spatial proximity of urban built-up areas and their affiliations with USCs at the previous snapshot. China is selected as a case study for its rapid urbanization process and the cluster-based economic development strategy. Four DMSTs are generated for China using the urban built-up areas extracted from DMSP/OLS NTL satellite images collected in 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2012. Each DMST is partitioned into various subtrees and the urban built-up areas connected by the same subtree are identified as a potential USC. By inspecting the evolution of USCs over time, three different types of USCs are obtained, including newly emerging, single-core, and multicore clusters. Using the rank-size distribution, we find that large-sized USCs have greater development than medium- and small-sized USCs. A clear directionality and heterogeneity are observed in the expansions of the ten largest USCs. Our study provides further insight for the understanding of urban system and its spatial structures, and assists policymakers in their planning practices at national and regional scales.

Apparent digestibility coefficients of feed raw materials for barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch)
Creators: name: Krogh, PK
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study was undertaken to define the availability of different nutrients within feed raw materials for the tropical species barramundi Lates calcarifer (Bloch). Availability was measured as the apparent digestibility coefficient (A.D.C.) measured as the difference in composition between feed and faeces. Feed materials investigated include blood meal, fish meals, meat and bone meal, soy meal, soy protein meals, yeast meal, squid meal, prawn shell meal and wheat. Initial trials were conducted to determine the best method for faecal collection, including continual filtration and stripping. Individual aquariums holding ten fish were connected to purpose built filtration units for the collection of faeces. Experiments one, two and four used the method of continual filtration of faecal material to determine the apparent digestibility coefficient of raw materials, using fish with a mean weight of 396.65+/- 65g. Considerable variation was found in protein and lipid A.D.C.s for the ingredients tested. Fish meals tested had significantly different absorption efficiencies. Experiment two assessed the effect of temperature on faecal collection chambers. No differences were found on the nutritional parameters of crude protein and crude lipid. Experiment three, carried out with experiment four was a practical evaluation of A.D.C.s for crude protein and crude lipid of a reference diet with faeces collected by continual filtration and stripping. Experiment four assessed production method for diet manufacture found a significant difference between the methods of cold extrusion and steam pelleting. Different processing techniques of raw materials and of finished diets and their effect of apparent digestibility coefficient are discussed. Results from this study were used to formulate a diet for barramundi using commercial production techniques, for trialing with existing commercial banamundi feeds. Results from this six week trial indicated that through the use of protein and lipid A.D.C.s the reformulation of diets for barramundi can see significant savings to the barramundi farming industry. Growth rates and food conversion rates were comparable to existing commercial diets but at a 'greatly reduced cost. In all experiments faecal material was collected daily, analysed and used to calculate apparent digestibility coefficients. Results are also compared with existing information available on cold water species to elucidate any major differences.

description: In a thin magnetic nanostripe, an anti-vortex nucleates inside a moving domain wall when driven by an in-plane magnetic field greater than the so-called Walker field. The nucleated anti-vortex must cross the width of the nanostripe before the domain wall can propagate again, leading to low average domain wall speeds. A large out-of-plane magnetic field, applied perpendicularly to the plane of the nanostripe, inhibits the nucleation of the anti-vortex leading to fast domain wall speeds for all in-plane driving fields. We present micromagnetic simulation results relating the anti-vortex dynamics to the strength of the out-of-plane field. An asymmetry in the motion is observed which depends on the alignment of the anti-vortex core magnetic moments to the direction of the out-of-plane field. The size of the core is directly related to its crossing speed, both depending on the strength of the perpendicular field and the alignment of the core moments and direction of the out-of-plane field.

description: The Space multi-band Variable Object Monitor (SVOM) is a proposed Chinese astronomical satellite, dedicated to the detection, localization and measurement of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) on the cosmological scale. An efficient algorithm is developed for the purpose of onboard star extraction from the CCD images obtained with the Visible Telescope (VT) on board SVOM. The CCD pixel coordinates of the reference stars will be used to refine the astronomical position of the satellite, which will facilitate trigger rapid ground-based follow-up obsevations of the GRBs. In this algorithm, the image is divided into a number of grid cells and the "global" pixel-value maximum within each cell is taken as the first-guess position of a "bright" star. The correct center postion of a star is then computed using a simple iterative method. Applying two additional strategies, i.e., scanning the image only by even (or odd) lines or in a black-white chess board mode, are proposed to further reduce the time to extract the stars. To examine the efficiency of the above aglorithms, we applied them to the experimental images obtained with a ground-based telescope. We find that the accuracy of the astronomical positioning achieved by our method is comparable to that derived by using the conventional star-extraction method, while the former needs CPU time about 25 times less than the latter. This will significantly improve the performance of the SVOM VT mission.

description: Organic farming is experiencing a steady growth and market signals indicate that this expansion will continue. Organic products are becoming common in mass markets and are in high demand for export to foreign markets. In order to capture a larger share of the growing niche market, the Tasmanian organic industry is confronted with the challenge of expanding its industry to encompass more producers. The response from the Tasmanian organic industry has so far been an increase of 70 percent in the total area of certified organic production within the last three years. However, members of the Tasmanian Organic sector acknowledge the existence of impediments to successful expansion. One of the major obstacles they identified was that organic farmers and those looking to convert, are challenged by a dearth of available information. This research addresses the issue of whether is there lack of information about organic practices among Tasmanian organic farmers, and whether such a lack of information is a constraint for the expansion of the organic farming sector. The aims of this research were to evaluate the information sources used and the types information required by Tasmanian organic farmers. Such an evaluation was necessary in order to direct future research initiatives and to better plan the provision of extension services. The majority of the 13 organic farmers that took part in the study had been involved with the organic industry in southern Tasmania for more than five years, which was an important criterion for ensuring the validity of the qualitative analysis using semistructured interviews. The organic farmers were a diverse group. Their main sources of information included books, trial and error and peer advice. There was consensus among the farmers about the lack of information about post-conversion production techniques. There was also a tendency among Tasmanian organic farmers for a high degree of self-reliance for the acquisition of information. However, the lack of information does not currently appear to be a major constraint on the expansion of the industry. Nevertheless, production orientated research and effective educational strategies retained importance among farmers for the successful advancement of their industry.

Nonlinear nonequilibrium quasiparticle relaxation in Josephson junctions

description: Nonequilibrium electrons in superconductors relax and eventually recombine into Cooper pairs. Relaxation is facilitated by electron-boson interaction and is accompanied by emission of nonequilibrium bosons. Here I solve numerically a full set of nonlinear kinetic balance equations for stacked Josephson junctions, which allows analysis of strongly nonequilibrium phenomena. It is shown that nonlinearity becomes significant already at very small disequilibrium. The following new, essentially nonlinear effects are obtained: (i) At even-gap voltages $V=2n Δ/e$ $(n=2,3,...)$ nonequilibrium bosonic bands overlap. This leads to enhanced emission of $Ω= 2 Δ$ bosons and to appearance of dips in tunnel conductance. (ii) A new type of radiative solution is found at strong disequilibrium. It is characterized by the fast stimulated relaxation of nonequilibrium quasiparticles. A stack in this state behaves as a light emitting diode and directly converts electric power to boson emission, without utilization of the ac-Josephson effect. This leads to very high radiation efficacy and to significant radiative cooling of the stack. The phenomenon can be used for realization of a new type of superconducting cascade laser in the THz frequency range.

description: The investigation attempted to differentiate between a deaf population's retarded and non-retarded readers on selected performance tasks. Twenty-seven deaf subjects were divided into three groups for purposes of the investigation. The groups consisted of nine retarded readers with I.Q.s below 90 on the WISC Performance scale, nine retarded readers with I.Q.s above 90 on the WISC Performance scale, and nine non-retarded readers with I.Q.s above 90 on the WISC Performance scale. Subjects were administered the Bender-Gestalt Test, the Graham and Kendall Memory for Designs Test, and the Picture Completion, Picture Arrangement, Block Design, Object Assembly, and Coding sub-tests of the WISC. Statistical treatment of the data did not significantly differentiate between retarded and non-retarded readers. Consideration of the data revealed that the deaf subjects' mean performance levels on visual motor tasks were below the mean performance levels of hearing children. Also, the deaf subjects' performances on Block Designs and Object Assembly were generally superior to their performances on Coding. Coding performance levels of the deaf subjects were below mean performance levels of hearing children. Educational implications were drawn from these observations.

description: A number of microlensing dark-matter surveys have produced tens of millions of light curves of individual background stars. These data provide an unprecedented opportunity for systematic studies of whole classes of variable stars and their host galaxies. We aim to use the EROS-2 survey of the Magellanic Clouds to detect and study the population of beat Cepheids (BCs) in both Clouds. BCs pulsating simultaneously in the first overtone and fundamental modes (FO/F) or in the second and first overtone modes (SO/FO) are of particular interest. Using special software designed to search for periodic variables, we have scanned the EROS-2 data base for variables in the typical period range of Cepheids. Metallicities of FO/F objects were then calculated from linear nonadiabatic convective stellar models. We identify 74 FO/F BCs in the LMC and 41 in the SMC, and 173 and 129 SO/FO pulsators in the LMC and SMC, respectively; 185 of these stars are new discoveries. For nearly all the FO/F objects we determine minimum, mean, and maximum values of the metallicity. The EROS data have expanded the samples of known BCs in the LMC by 31%, in the SMC by 110%. The FO/F objects provide independent measures of metallicities in these galaxies. The mean value of metallicity is 0.0045 in the LMC and 0.0018 in the SMC.
