description: By selecting the relevant indices of data concerning the income and consumption of urban residents and rural residents in Chongqing City from 2000 to 2009, we adopt empirical analysis method and comparative analysis method to conduct comparative analysis from overall level, consumption structure and regional difference. The results show that income level is the most direct and fundamental factor impacting urban-rural residents' consumption, and eventually determines the consumption level and consumption structure of urban-rural residents; the consumption structure of urban-rural residents in Chongqing City takes on prominent dual structure. with conspicuous gap between urban areas and rural areas: the level of income and consumption of urban-rural residents in Chongqing City is lower than the national average, especially for the rural residents; the gap of income per capita and consumption per capita of rural residents in “One-hour Economic Circle” and “Two Wings” of Chongqing City is prominent. Corresponding policy suggestions are p a forward as follows: improve financial transfer payment system; quicken the pace of urbanization; coordinate urban-rural industrial development; guide farmers to establish correct consumption idea.

Breaking the looping chain : subtitle The environmentalism of petro-culture
Creators: name: Madison, Kevin Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis argues that the incentive structures engendered by petroleum-based export economies have a strong influence on the formation of domestic environmental movements. As a result, these movements display a set of similar characteristics, which distinguish them from other environmental movements. These movements are classified under the category of 'the environmentalism of petro-culture.' This concept is then applied to two of the environmental movements that have developed in Nigeria's Niger Delta, concluding that these groups display characteristics that correspond to the environmentalism of petro-culture. Furthermore, several other states with large petroleum-based export economies are briefly examined as case studies to determine whether environmentalism of petroculture movements have developed there. Based on these brief studies, the conclusion is drawn that Ecuador and Aceh have environmental movements that display characteristics that fit the environmentalism of petro-culture concept. Furthermore, it seems likely that similar movements will develop in Cameroon and Chad. Finally, the relationship between environmentalism of petro-culture groups and transnational environmental networks is examined. The conclusion drawn is that, due to the vague policy demands of the transnational groups, domestic environmentalism of petro-culture movements are able to find issues in common with them, despite a drastic difference in their demands.

description: Corporate governance appeared to be the global issue and global trend in most of the commercial industries of public concern than ever before. Corporate governance is about credibility, transparency and accountability. It is also about maintaining an effective disclosure of information that will foster good corporate performance. This study attempts to investigate the relationship between financial performance and corporate governance of commercial banks in Nepal. Specifically, it examines the effects of board size, audit committee, and portion of independent directors on return on equity and nonperforming loan. This study is based on secondary data collected from the annual reports of 13 commercial banks of Nepal. Samples for this study were taken from 65 observations in the review period from 2010 to 2015. The study finds out that the board size negatively impacts the financial performance of commercial banks in Nepal whereas audit committee size and portion of independent directors positively impact the financial performance of commercial banks in Nepal.

description: Quantum corrections to the conductivity allow experimental assessment of electronic coherence in metals. We consider whether independent measurements of different corrections are quantitatively consistent, particularly in systems with spin-orbit or magnetic impurity scattering. We report weak localization and time-dependent universal conductance fluctuation data in quasi-one- and two-dimensional AuPd wires between 2 K and 20 K. The data inferred from both methods are in excellent quantitative agreement, implying that precisely the same coherence length is relevant to both corrections.

Skyrmionic order and magnetically induced polarization change in lacunar spinel compounds GaV$_{4}$S$_{8}$ and GaMo$_{4}$S$_{8}$: comparative theoretical study

description: We show how low-energy electronic models derived from the first-principles electronic structure calculations can help to rationalize the magnetic properties of two lacunar spinel compounds GaM4S8 with light (M=V) and heavy (M=Mo) transition-metal elements, which are responsible for different spin-orbit interaction strength. In the model, each magnetic lattice point was associated with the M4S4 molecule, and the model itself was formulated in the basis of molecular Wannier functions constructed for three magnetic t2 bands. The effects of rhombohedral distortion, spin-orbit interaction, band filling, and the screening of Coulomb interactions in the t2 bands are discussed in details. The electronic model is further treated in the superexchange approximation, which allows us to derive an effective spin model for the energy and electric polarization ($P$) depending on the relative orientation of spins in the bonds, and study the properties of this model by means of classical Monte Carlo simulations with the emphasis on the possible formation of the skyrmionic phase. While isotropic exchange interactions clearly dominate in GaV4S8, all types of interactions -- isotropic, antisymmetric, and symmetric anisotropic -- are comparable in the case of GaMo4S8. Particularly, large uniaxial exchange anisotropy has a profound effect on the properties of GaMo4S8. On the one hand, it raises the Curie temperature by opening a gap in the spectrum of magnon excitations. On the other hand, it strongly affects the skyrmionic phase by playing the role of a molecular field, which facilitates the formation of skyrmions, but makes them relatively insensitive to the external magnetic field in the large part of the phase diagram. We predict reversal of the magnetic dependence of $P$ in the case of GaMo4S8 caused by the reversal of direction of the rhombohedral distortion.

description: According to the data in China Statistical Yearbook from 1992 to 2008, by using regression model, we adopt least square method and generalized least square method to conduct empirical analysis on me relationship between urban-rural residents' income and consumption in China's east, northeast, central region and west. The results show that the urban-rural residents' propensity to consume in China's four regions has prominent characteristics. In terms of region, urban residents' marginal propensity to consume takes on irregular fluctuation, while the rural residents' propensity to consume conforms to law of diminishing of marginal propensity to consume; in terms of time sequence, the rural residents' marginal propensity to consume in China's four regions takes on ' multi-U-form fluctuation trend, and the rural residents' marginal propensity to consume in different regions has certain difference, while the urban residents' marginal propensity to consume takes on low-frequency broad width fluctuation trend; the urban-rural residents' average marginal propensity to consume in China's four regions conforms to the law of diminishing. In order to increase consumption and promote the balanced rapid development of regional economy, in light of the urban-rural difference and characteristics of different regions, we should propound effective measures to promote urban-rural residents' propensity to consume, and formulate and implement regional policy in order to stimulate consumption.

description: Real-time process monitoring and control strategies are needed to guarantee the required product quality and the improvement of the manufacturing process. Monitoring in the fermentation industry often relies on the analysis of offline samples. This time-consuming measurement technique hinders the application of automated feedback control. Novel developments in state estimation and the availability of chemometrics makes it nowadays possible to use online collected information in order to estimate non-measured system states. In this work, an industrial strain of Penicillium chrysogenum was used as a model organism in a fed-batch fermentation process with penicillin as a main product. Two vibrational spectroscopy methods (nearand mid-infrared) were introduced. Spectral data was used for the construction of black-box PLS models, which were able to predict the concentrations of soluble components (with prediction errors below 30% for most of the processes). However, it was shown, that constructed PLS models lack transferability. Kinetic modeling was also applied. Nevertheless, in order to be able to react to the unforeseen process changes, kinetic models need real-time process information. Therefore, automated feedback regulation was supported by a model-based observer particle filter. Combination of off-gas measurements, nearand mid-infrared based PLS models, as well as the kinetic model via particle filter led to the establishment of a good, real-time process monitoring strategy. Finally, the established system was validated by a real process and proper process control was successfully reached.

description: We present observations made with the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association millimeter array of the H2S 2(2,0)-2(1,1) and C18O 2-1 transitions toward a sample of four hot molecular cores associated with ultracompact HII regions: G9.62+0.19, G10.47+0.03, G29.96-0.02 and G31.41+0.31. The angular resolution varies from 1.5 to 2.4 arcsec, corresponding to scales of ~0.06 pc at the distance of these sources. High-velocity wings characteristic of molecular outflows are detected toward all four sources in the H2S line. In two cases (G29.96 and G31.41) red- and blueshifted lobes are clearly defined and spatially separate, indicating that the flows are collimated. We also confirm the previous detection of the outflow in G9.62F. Although the gas-phase H2S abundance is not well constrained, assuming a value of 10^-7 yields lower limits to total outflow masses of ~8 Msun, values which are consistent with the driving sources being massive protostars. Linear velocity gradients are detected in both C18O and H2S across G9.62, G29.96 and, to a lesser extent, G31.41. These gradients are observed to be at a different position angle to the outflow in G9.62F and G29.96, suggestive of a rotation signature in these two hot cores. Our observations show that these hot cores contain embedded massive protostellar objects which are driving bipolar outflows. Furthermore, the lack of strong centimeter-wave emission toward the outflow centers in G29.96 and G31.41 indicates that the outflow phase begins prior to the formation of a detectable ultracompact HII region.

description: In the context of the SUSKULT scenario study, the backcasting method was used to show the possible development paths from the SUSKULT target vision in 2050 back to the present. The scenarios were developed in a multi-stage, interdisciplinary process together with the project participants and other stakeholders from science and industry. The first step was to identify potential influencing factors that can impact the SUSKULT vision and are therefore relevant for scenario development. Based on three influencing factors, which have multiple interactions and feedback with the other factors, five different types of scenarios were developed in the form of short stories.

description: This paper aims to give a short overview on some relevant processing issues existing in SiC and GaN power devices technology. The main focus is put on the importance of the channel mobility in transistors, which is one of the keys to reduce RON and power dissipation. Specifically, in the case of the 4H-SiC planar MOSFETs the most common solutions and recent trends to improve the channel mobility are presented. In the case of GaN, the viable routes to achieve normally-off HEMTs operation are briefly introduced, giving emphasis to the case of the recessed hybrid MISHEMT.

description: We find analytical solutions to the evolution of interacting two-level atoms when the master equation is symmetric under the permutation of atomic labels. The master equation includes atomic independent dissipation. The method to obtain the solutions is: First, we use the system symmetries to describe the evolution in an operator space whose dimension grows polynomially with the number of atoms. Second, we expand the solutions in a basis composed of eigenvectors of the dissipative part of the master equation that models the independent dissipation of the atoms. This atomic damping basis is an atomic analog to the damping basis used for bosonic fields. The solutions show that the system decays as a sum of sub- and super-radiant exponential terms.

description: The extent to which food safety standards negatively affect the ability of firms in developing countries to export to the markets of developed countries depends on their approach to compliance. A case study of Guyana’s fish export industry tests this hypothesis. The analysis generally reveals a defensive/reactive approach by exporters, which has resulted in an erosion of their ability to export to some markets and their inability to gain access to others. However, firms can sustain market access and enhance their competitiveness in the long term if they adopt a more proactive approach to compliance with food safety standards.

description: A locally conformally Kähler (LCK) manifold $M$ is one which is covered by a Kähler manifold $\tilde M$ with the deck transform group acting conformally on $\tilde M$. If $M$ admits a holomorphic flow, acting on $\tilde M$ conformally, it is called a Vaisman manifold. Neither the class of LCK manifolds nor that of Vaisman manifolds is stable under small deformations. We define a new class of LCK-manifolds, called LCK manifolds with potential, which is closed under small deformations. All Vaisman manifolds are LCK with potential. We show that an LCK-manifold with potential admits a covering which can be compactified to a Stein variety by adding one point. This is used to show that any LCK manifold M with potential, $\dim M > 2$, can be embedded to a Hopf manifold, thus improving on similar results for Vaisman. manifolds.

As intervenções governamentais através de instrumentos de estabilização do rendimento têm tido um forte impacto nas explorações agropecuárias da região mediterrânea, levando a alterações quer na alocação da terra quer no rendimento e sua variabilidade. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, principalmente, estudar o efeito da nova reforma da PAC na variabilidade do rendimento de uma exploração mediterrânea situada no Alentejo, sul de Portugal. O efeito das medidas agroambientais nas atividades produtivas e no risco do rendimento foi analisado. Para atingir esses objetivos, usou-se um modelo de programação estocástica discreta associado a uma estrutura MOTAD. Os resultados indicam um aumento da extensificação das atividades produtivas. E também um aumento do rendimento total da exploração, uma diminuição da variabilidade relativa do rendimento total e um aumento do risco relativo do rendimento da produção. No entanto, o risco resultante da variabilidade do rendimento obtido na produção, aumenta.

description: We present radio imaging observations of the 1998 outburst of the peculiar emission line star CI Cam, taken about 1, 4, 75, 82, 93, 163, and 306 days after the beginning of the 31.64 March 1998 X-ray flare. The first two epochs show a resolved but compact radio source which becomes optically thin at frequencies higher than 5 GHz. The later images show a large (120-350 mas) oval-shaped or double ring remnant. The radio spectrum combined with the high brightness temperature indicates that the emission is synchrotron, while the morphology suggests that this is powered by a decelerating shock moving through dense circumstellar material produced by a strong stellar wind. The radio images of CI Cam are equally well fit by an expanding ellipsoid or two expanding rings. The corresponding expansion speed in the plane of the sky was about 12,000 km/s over the first few days, slowing by a factor of ~3 by the time of the last observation almost a year later. The radio emission from all other X-ray binary transients has either been unresolved, or taken the form of highly collimated relativistic jets. We suggest that CI Cam represents a rare case where these jets were smothered early on by the unusually dense circumstellar medium. In this model CI Cam is the analogue to extragalactic supernovae formed by the collapsar mechanism, while the more usual X-ray binaries with relativistic jets are analogous to the jets which escape those supernovae to form a subset of gamma-ray bursts.

description: We used the $Hα$ images from a large sample of nearby late-type dwarf galaxies to investigate properties of their emission structure. The sample consists of three hundred galaxies of the irregular (Irr), Magellanic irregular (Im), blue compact dwarf (BCD), and transition (Tr) types situated within a distance of 11 Mpc. In each galaxy, we indicated: the number of compact HII-regions, the presence of bubble-like or filament-like structures, the presence of a faint diffuse emission, and a sign of the global burst. The larger luminosity of a galaxy, the greater number of compact HII-sources in it. The integral and specific star-formation rates of the dwarf increase steeply with the increase of the number of HII-regions showing the evidence of the epidemic character of star-formation process. The dwarf galaxies with emission-line bubbles, or filaments, or signs of the global star-formation burst have approximately the same hydrogen-mass-to-luminosity ratio as that of the whole sample objects. However, their mean star-formation rate is significantly higher than that of other galaxies in the sample. Emission bubble-like structures are found in the nearby dwarfs with a frequency of 1 case per 4-5 galaxies. Their linear diameters are close to those expected for supernova remnants. The mean specific SFR for the nearby late-type dwarfs is close to the Hubble parameter, $H_0 = -10.14$ dex (yr)$^{-1}$, consistent with the sluggish cosmic star-formation history of galaxies of this kind.

description: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, is growing in prevalence in both young and old people worldwide. One of the current treatments for T2D involves the use of oral hypoglycemic medications that stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic P-cells. However, these drugs risk inducing hypoglycemia and, as p-cell function declines over time, lose their effectiveness. An attractive alternative for the treatment of T2D is glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a gut hormone with a variety of anti-diabetic properties including stimulation of glucosedependent insulin secretion and enhancement of P-cell mass. However, the clinical use of GLP-1 is limited due to its rapid degradation, primarily by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV). As a result, continuous administration of GLP-1 is necessary to maintain its therapeutic effect. Gene therapy may represent a promising alternative approach for achieving long-term automatic release of GLP-1 from cells in the body. In this thesis, the efficacy of in vitro and in vivo GLP-1 gene transfer to the liver using an adenoviral vector expressing GLP-1 and its effects on glucose homeostasis in diabetic db/db mice was examined. A replication-deficient adenoviral vector was constructed to express DPIVresistant GLP-1 under the regulation of a liver-specific, glucose-responsive L-type pyruvate kinase (LPK) promoter (AdLPK-GLP-1). In vitro transduction of AdLPK-GLP-1 in hepatocytes and nonhepatocytes induced immunoreactive and bioactive GLP-1 production in a liver-specific and dosedependent manner. Furthermore, when these transduced hepatocytes were transplanted into the peritoneal cavity or under the kidney capsule of normal mice, an ~2-fold increase in fasting plasma GLP-1 levels was observed. However, this approach was not effective in improving glucose homeostasis in severely diabetic db/db mice. Moreover, intravenous delivery of AdLPK-GLP-1 in normal mice and rats did not result in an increase in fasting plasma GLP-1 levels. Thus while a virus was generated that is capable of inducing hepatocytes to produce GLP-1, additional studies will be required to demonstrate a therapeutic effect with this agent.

description: Finite size effects on the cooperative thermal denaturation of proteins are considered. A dimensionless measure of cooperativity, Omega, scales as N^zeta, where N is the number of amino acids. Surprisingly, we find that zeta is universal with zeta = 1 + gamma, where the exponent gamma characterizes the divergence of the susceptibility for a self-avoiding walk. Our lattice model simulations and experimental data are consistent with the theory. Our finding rationalizes the marginal stability of proteins and substantiates the earlier predictions that the efficient folding of two-state proteins requires the folding transition temperature to be close to the collapse temperature.

description: Consumidores demandam produtos que tenham um baixo impacto sobre o ambiente natural. Assim, empresas buscam credenciar seus produtos ou processos, através de certificações de gestão socioambiental, com o objetivo de demonstrar sua preocupação em seguir padrões técnicos e ambientais. Como conseqüência, no decorrer do processo para a obtenção da certificação, as empresas desenvolvem inovações, motivadas pela busca em atingir esse credenciamento. Objetivou-se, no presente artigo, identificar se empresas que possuem certificações socioambientais são mais propensas a inovar do que aquelas que não adotaram tais credenciamentos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir da análise da quantidade de variedade de rosas cultivadas – considerado como indicador da inovatividade – por 80 empresas produtoras de rosas no Equador, divididas em dois grupos: 52 empresas com certificações e 28 empresas sem certificações. Para isso, foi utilizado o teste de diferença entre medias (teste-t), comparando o número de variedades de rosas cultivadas pelos dois grupos. Pelos resultados, conclui-se que existe uma diferença estatisticamente significativa, a favor do grupo de empresas que adotaram certificações em relação às que não o fizeram, ou seja, as empresas com certificações cultivam mais variedades de rosas, que as empresas sem certificações. Empresas que optam por certificações sócioambientais possuem uma propensão a inovar bem maior que empresas que não adotaram esses credenciamentos. Uma limitação que a pesquisa apresenta foi ter considerado, como indicador de inovatividade, somente o número de variedades de rosas cultivadas, esse indicador não reflete esforços internos de inovação, em gestão ou processos.

description: We develop a coherent beam splitter for single electrons driven through two tunnel-coupled quantum wires by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The output current through each wire oscillates with gate voltages to tune the tunnel-coupling and potential difference between the wires. This oscillation is assigned to coherent electron tunneling motion that can be used to encode a flying qubit and is well reproduced by numerical calculations of time evolution of the SAW-driven single electrons. The oscillation visibility is currently limited to about 3%, but robust against decoherence, indicating that the SAW-electron can serve as a novel platform for a solid-state flying qubit.

description: No semiárido de Minas Gerais, as feiras livres representam mercados cujos custos de entrada para a produção local são reduzidos, onde participam produtores que são também vendedores e, por estarem ligados ao abastecimento, inserem parcela da população rural e urbana nos circuitos de trocas, o que possibilita o desenvolvimento local, a partir da inserção da agricultura familiar nesse mercado. Buscou-se neste trabalho caracterizar a feira livre do município de São Francisco, norte de Minas Gerais, e elaborar subsídios para a construção de uma política de apoio a esse mercado e aos atores que dele participam. A metodologia utilizada foi de cunho quantitativo e qualitativo, realizando a coleta de dados por meio de questionários semiestruturados e observação não participante. Os resultados indicam que predomina a presença de mulheres feirantes e que a oferta, por ponto de venda, é diversificada, destacando-se as hortaliças e frutas. Embora possuam área de terra na zona rural, a maior parte dos feirantes tem sua residência principal na cidade, o que é uma característica do novo rural brasileiro.

description: The concept of Capture the Flag (CTF) games for practicing cybersecurity skills is widespread in informal educational settings and leisure-time competitions. However, it is not much used in university courses. This paper summarizes our experience from using jeopardy CTF games as homework assignments in an introductory undergraduate course. Our analysis of data describing students' in-game actions and course performance revealed four aspects that should be addressed in the design of CTF tasks: scoring, scaffolding, plagiarism, and learning analytics capabilities of the used CTF platform. The paper addresses these aspects by sharing our recommendations. We believe that these recommendations are useful for cybersecurity instructors who consider using CTF games for assessment in university courses and developers of CTF game frameworks.

description: We revisit the classical and quantum cosmology of a universe in which a self interacting scalar field is coupled to gravity with a flat FRW type metric undergoing continuous signature transition. We arrange for quantum cosmologically allowed discontinuity in the classical solutions at the signature changing hypersurface, provided these solutions be dual in some respects. This may be of some importance in the study of early universe within the signature changing scenarios.
