description: Climate change threatens global food security and farm management by affecting the quantity and quality of food. Our purpose is to accurately predict the effect of climate change on rice production in Japan. To estimate the rice quantity and quality under the future climate conditions, we simulated rice growth and quality models by three different scenarios of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. For assessing the economic impact of climate change, we exchanged the results of rice yield and quality to the price. We focus on Kosihikari, the most popular cultivar among consumers and widely produced in Japanese rice farming, although being vulnerable to heat stress. The estimated results provide two insights. First, an increase in the quantity of rice yield due to climate change has a stronger economic impact than the decrease in quality even under the future climate conditions scenario with the lowest GHG-emission. Second, the impact between eastern and western Japan is different. In eastern Japan, the rice yield would increase while in western Japan, quality would deteriorate. This means the Japanese will be faced with an oversupply of rice, and suggests that rice farmers in western Japan will be obliged to adopt new strategies to improve revenue. Acknowledgement :

description: What is an effective way to introduce UBC students to and elicit more positive attitudes, perceptions, and demand towards gender inclusive washrooms? Based on prior research on provincial norms and in-group biases, we hypothesize that mentioning an institutional (UBC) mandate will create more positive attitudes, perceptions, and demand towards gender-inclusive washrooms than a provincial (BC) mandate will. We had two conditions; in the first condition we described the mandate as being an institutional mandate, and in the second it was described as a provincial mandate. Participants were randomized into each condition. In the survey, we examined UBC students’ perceptions and attitudes on two kinds of gender inclusive washrooms: single-stall washrooms and multi-stall washrooms. In the second part of the study, we asked our participants if they would like to have more gender inclusive washrooms, and if they did, which location they would want them to be built on. Our hypothesis was not supported; the survey responses show higher support from the provincial mandate group than the institutional mandate group. However, our hypothesis was supported by the mean number of map points indicated in each condition; the institutional mandate showed higher demand.

description: Nucleation in continuously operated capillary coiled cooling crystallizers is experimentally investigated under the influence of ultrasound. It was found that there is no sharp boundary but rather a transition zone for nucleation under sonication. For this purpose, a tube with an inner diameter of 1.6 mm and a length of 6 m was winded in a coiled flow inverter (CFI) design and immersed into a cooled ultrasonic bath (37 kHz). The CFI design was chosen for improved radial mixing and narrow residence time distribution, which is also investigated. Amino acid l-alanine dissolved in deionized water is employed in a supersaturation range of 1.10 to 1.46 under quiet and sonicated conditions. Nucleation is non-invasive detected using a flow cell equipped with a microscope and camera.

description: The present study examined the influence of two factors of high-school girls' vocational choice: sex-stereotyping of jobs and congruency of the job description with existing expectations. The job descriptions varied in congruency according to the information provided about the amount of mathematical and technical skills required and amount of interpersonal contact involved. A significant main effect for sex-stereotypy of jobs was found. The overall mean change was greater for feminine stereotypy than for masculine. The main effect for congruency did not reach significance. Planned comparisons investigating the simple effect of congruency for feminine stereotypy and for masculine stereotypy were conducted. The simple effect of congruency for feminine stereotypy was significant. Subjects were also asked to vote for a speaker and fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire contained Likert-type questions concerning stereotyping, math content, interpersonal contact, marriage, and occupational choice, as well as confidence about math and social skills. The results of the vote for a speaker adherence to sex-stereotypical behavior, while the results of the questionnaire showed relatively flexible sex-stereotypical attitudes.

description: Modern spray-coating processes are based on high-volume, low-pressure, airless atomization or high-speed rotary bell atomization, often assisted by electrostatic charging to increase the transfer efficiency. The process from the liquid film flow beneath the bell, through ligament formation and consecutive disintegration to droplet deposition, has been constantly explored during the evolution of automotive spray coating. This work proposes a set of dimensionless groups that fully describe the process from film flow to ligament disintegration, including shear and elongational flow effects during atomization of particle laden, shear thinning, viscoelastic fluids.

description: By conducting a social experiment, we investigate the appropriate marketing strategies to stimulate the purchase of environmentally friendly product (certified coffee). We contribute to the literature in the following three ways. First, our experimental scale is large, targeting more than 10,000 vending machines installed in the throughout Japan. Second, we distinguish the observations by the location of vending machines, such as open- and closed-spaces, and capture the actual purchase of certified coffee. Third, to rigorously identify the factors affecting the purchase of certified coffee, we use the prescreening regression approach to reduce the bias due to endogeneity and check the sensitivity of our results. The results show that the vending machines installed in the closed-space, such as factory, company and university, significantly increase the number of sales of certified coffee by providing the information regarding the certification system. Additionally, the information provision significantly increases the total sales of vending machines. These results suggest that the information provision in closed-space enhances users purchase behavior for the certified coffee and successfully acquires the new customers. In contrast, none of the interventions have significant impact on the vending machines installed in the open-space, such as station and shopping mall.

description: Diet and diversity gets increased attention because of its impact on nutrition and health. A study was conducted in this line in Dhar and Datia districts of Madhya Pradesh, a nutritionally disadvantaged area in India. A structured interview schedule was the tool for data collection with in-built 24-hour diet recall section. A total of 240 respondents participated in this study. The study registered a slight mark of overweight and obesity in the respondent groups. It was understood that the problem of under nourishment was less with male groups than female groups in both districts. It was also revealed that majorly, the respondent groups had low level of knowledge about nutrition. A sixteen food group model (FAO) was used to evaluate DDS (Diet Diversity Score) ranging from 0 to 7. Overall Individual DDS was medium ranging from 3.9 to 4.7 (Dhar) and 5.0 to 6.4 (Datia). The actual consumption of all the food groups taken by the respondents were quantified and it was found that least consumed food groups were pulses and fruits. The study concludes that dietary diversity is poor and efforts to improve nutritional status must address the issue of nutrition education, dietary diversity and nutrition sensitive agriculture.

description: Lightweight design is one of the current key drivers to reduce the energy consumption of vehicles. Design methodologies for lightweight components, strategies utilizing materials with favorable specific properties and hybrid materials are used to increase the performance of parts for automotive applications. In this paper, various forming processes to produce light parts are described. Material lightweight design is discussed, covering the manufacturing processes to produce hybrid components like fiber–metal, polymer–metal and metal–metal composites, which can be used in subsequent deep drawing or combined forming processes. Approaches to increasing the specific strength and stiffness with thermomechanical forming processes as well as the in situ control of the microstructure of such components are presented. Structure lightweight design discusses possibilities to plastically form high-strength or high-performance materials like magnesium or titanium in sheet, profile and tube forming operations. To join those materials and/or dissimilar materials, new joining by forming technologies are shown. To economically produce lightweight parts with gears or functional elements, incremental sheet-bulk metal forming is presented. As an important part property, the damage evolution during the forming operations will be discussed to enable even lighter parts through a more reliable design. New methods for predicting and tailoring the mechanical properties like strength and residual stresses will be shown. The possibilities of system lightweight design with forming technologies are presented. A combination of additive manufacturing and forming to produce highly complex parts with integrated functions will be shown. The integration of functions by a hot extrusion process for the manufacturing of shape memory alloys is presented. An in-depth understanding of the newly developed processes, methodologies and effects allows for a more accurate dimensioning of components. This facilitates a reduction in the total mass and an increasing performance of vehicle components.

description: Detecting the large-scale structure of the Universe based on the galaxy distribution and characterising its components is of fundamental importance in astrophysics but is also a difficult task to achieve. Wide-area spectroscopic redshift surveys are required to accurately measure galaxy positions in space that also need to cover large areas of the sky. It is also difficult to create algorithms that can extract cosmic web structures (e.g. filaments). Moreover, these detections will be affected by systematic uncertainties that stem from the characteristics of the survey used (e.g. its completeness and coverage) and from the unique properties of the specific method adopted to detect the cosmic web (i.e. the assumptions it relies on and the free parameters it may employ). For these reasons, the creation of new catalogues of cosmic web features on wide sky areas is important, as this allows users to have at their disposal a well-understood sample of structures whose systematic uncertainties have been thoroughly investigated. In this paper we present the filament catalogues created using the discrete persistent structure extractor (DisPerSE) tool in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and we fully characterise them in terms of their dependence on the choice of parameters pertaining to the algorithm, and with respect to several systematic issues that may arise in the skeleton as a result of the properties of the galaxy distribution (such as Finger-of-God redshift distortions and defects of the density field that are due to the boundaries of the survey).

description: We study the effect of a possible helicity component of a primordial magnetic field on the tensor part of the cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies and polarization. We give analytical approximations for the tensor contributions induced by helicity, discussing their amplitude and spectral index in dependence of the power spectrum of the primordial magnetic field. We find that an helical magnetic field creates a parity odd component of gravity waves inducing parity odd polarization signals. However, only if the magnetic field is close to scale invariant and if its helical part is close to maximal, the effect is sufficiently large to be observable. We also discuss the implications of causality on the magnetic field spectrum.

description: Stochastic shortest path problems (SSPPs) have many applications in practice and are subject of ongoing research for many years. This paper considers a variant of SSPPs where times or costs to pass an edge in a graph are, possibly correlated, random variables. There are two general goals one can aim for, the minimization of the expected costs to reach the destination or the maximization of the probability to reach the destination within a given budget. Often one is interested in policies that build a compromise between different goals which results in multi-objective problems. In this paper, an algorithm to compute the convex hull of Pareto optimal policies that consider expected costs and probabilities of falling below given budgets is developed. The approach uses the recently published class of PH-graphs that allow one to map SSPPs, even with generally distributed and correlated costs associated to edges, on Markov decision processes (MDPs) and apply the available techniques for MDPs to compute optimal policies.

Adaptive Transmit Waveform Design using Multi-Tone Sinusoidal Frequency Modulation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: This paper presents an adaptive waveform design method using Multi-Tone Sinusoidal Frequency Modulation (MTSFM). The MTSFM waveform's modulation function is represented as a finite Fourier series expansion. The Fourier coefficients are utilized as a discrete set of design parameters that may be modified to adapt the waveform's properties. The MTSFM's design parameters are adjusted to shape the spectrum, Auto-Correlation Function (ACF), and Ambiguity Function (AF) shapes of the waveform. The MTSFM waveform model naturally possesses the constant envelope and spectrally compact waveforms that make it well suited for transmission on practical radar/sonar transmitters which utilize high power amplifiers. The MTSFM has an exact mathematical definition for its time-series using Generalized Bessel Functions which allow for deriving closed-form analytical expressions for its spectrum, AF, and ACF. These expressions allow for establishing well-defined optimization problems that finely tune the MTSFM's properties. This adaptive waveform design model is demonstrated by optimizing MTSFM waveforms that initially possess a "thumbtack-like" AF shape. The resulting optimized designs possess substantially improved sidelobe levels over specified regions in the range-Doppler plane without increasing the Time-Bandwidth Product (TBP) that the initialized waveforms possessed. Simulations additionally demonstrate that the optimized thumbtack-like MTSFM waveforms are competitive with thumbtack-like phase-coded waveforms derived from design algorithms available in the published literature.

description: RNA molecules undergo a vast array of chemical post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs) that can affect their structure and interaction properties. In recent years, a growing number of PTMs have been successfully mapped to the transcriptome using experimental approaches relying on high-throughput sequencing. Oxford Nanopore direct-RNA sequencing has been shown to be sensitive to RNA modifications. We developed and validated Nanocompore, a robust analytical framework that identifies modifications from these data. Our strategy compares an RNA sample of interest against a non-modified control sample, not requiring a training set and allowing the use of replicates. We show that Nanocompore can detect different RNA modifications with position accuracy in vitro, and we apply it to profile m6A in vivo in yeast and human RNAs, as well as in targeted non-coding RNAs. We confirm our results with orthogonal methods and provide novel insights on the co-occurrence of multiple modified residues on individual RNA molecules.

description: Combining topologically-protected chiral light transport and laser amplification gives rise to topological lasers, whose operation is immune to fabrication imperfections and defects, uncovering the role of topology in a novel nonlinear non-Hermitian regime. We study a topological laser based on the photonic Haldane model with selective pumping of chiral edge modes described by saturable gain. We investigate elementary excitations around the mean-field steady state and their consequences for the coherence properties. In particular, we show that the hybridization of chiral edge modes gives rise to long-lived elementary excitations, leading to large phase fluctuations in the emitted light field and a decrease of light coherence. In contrast to topologically trivial lasers, the lifetime of elementary excitations is robust against disorder in topological lasers. However, the lifetime strongly depends on the edge-mode dispersion around the lasing frequency. As a result, the lifetime can be reduced by orders of magnitude for lasing of different edge modes, leading to a suppression of phase fluctuations and larger coherence of the emitted light. On the other hand, amplitude fluctuations and the second-order autocorrelation function are moderately increased at the same time.

description: The advent of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has provided us with observations of black holes more massive than those known from X-ray astronomy. However, the observation of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) remains a big challenge. After their second observing run, the LIGO \& Virgo Scientific collaborations (LVC) placed upper limits on the coalescence rate density of non-precessing IMBH binaries (IMBHBs). In this article, we explore the sensitivity of two of the search pipelines used by the LVC to signals from 69 numerically simulated IMBHBs with generic spins, out of which 27 have a precessing orbital plane. In particular, we compare the matched-filter search PyCBC, and the coherent model-independent search technique cWB. We find that, in general, cWB is more sensitive to IMBHBs than PyCBC, with their difference depending on the masses and spins of the source. Consequently, we use cWB to place the first upper limits on the merger rate of generically spinning IMBH binaries using publicly available data from the first Advanced LIGO observing run.

description: The effect of solvent quality on dilute and semi-dilute regimes of polymers in solution is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The equation of state, adsorptions near a hard wall, wall-polymer surface tension and effective depletion potentials are all calculated as a function of concentration and solvent quality. We find important differences between polymers in good and theta solvents. In the dilute regime, the physical properties for polymers in a theta solvent closely resemble those of ideal polymers. In the semi-dilute regime, however, significant differences are found.

description: China has started to implement the most stringent of Three Red Lines water policy since 2012, which sets targets for total water use, water use efficiency, and water quality for a number of benchmark years to 2030 by province and prefecture. This paper aims to develop an integrated regional CGE and water resource model at river basin-provincial level for China and to quantify regional and sectoral economic impacts of three red lines. Five policy scenarios are constructed to assess the impacts of water red lines, including the red line of total water use cap, irrigation efficiency, industrial water use intensity, surface water pollution and all redlines combined. The red line of total water use cap will increase water shortage drastically, leading to considerable negative impacts on the economic growth of East, South Central and Southwest. The sectors with the higher water use intensity such as machinery and equipment, metal and metal products, chemical products and non-metal products are affected most. Other two red lines need to go hand in hand to minimize water shortage and mitigate potentially negative economic impacts. Establishing regional water use right market and promoting economic restructuring are two policy options to cope with water scarcity challenge.

description: Following the discovery of superconductivity in the cuprates and the seminal work by Anderson, the theoretical efforts to understand high-temperature superconductivity have been focusing to a large extent on a simple model: the one-band Hubbard model. However, superconducting cuprates need to be doped, and the doped holes go into the oxygen orbitals. This requires a more elaborate multi-band model such as the three-orbital Emery model. The recently discovered nickelate superconductors appear, at first glance, to be even more complicated multi-orbital systems. Here, we analyse this multi-orbital system and find that it is instead the nickelates which can be described by a one-band Hubbard model, albeit with an additional electron reservoir and only around the superconducting regime. Our calculations of the critical temperature Tc are in good agreement with experiment, and show that optimal doping is slightly below the 20% Sr-doping of Ref. 11. Even more promising than 3d nickelates are 4d palladates.

description: A definition of the Laplacian on Cartesian products with mixed boundary conditions using quadratic forms is proposed. Its consistency with the standard definition for homogeneous and certain mixed boundary conditions is proved and, as a consequence, tensor representations of the corresponding Sobolev spaces of first order are derived. Moreover, a criterion for the domain to belong to the Sobolev space of second order is proved.

description: A stochastic simulation model, with adaptive expectation and multiplicative production shocks, is advocated to investigate the impacts of public grain buffer stocks in China. The effects of alternative public buffer stocks, with three price bands and nine storage capacity levels, are investigated from the perspectives of producer support, market stabilization, food security and social costs. The simulation results show that a narrow price band can improve policy performances and the storage capacity has marginal diminishing effects on above policy performances. For a given width of the price band, the symmetric price band could achieve policy goals at a relatively low cost. In practice, the Chinese government can lower floor price and restrict storage capacity in order to improve Minimum Price Procurement policies of rice and wheat.
