description: We consider gravity mediated supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking in 5D spacetime with two 4D branes B1 and B2 separated in the extra dimension. Using an off-shell 5D supergravity (SUGRA) formalism, we argue that the SUSY breaking scales could be non-universal even at the fundamental scale in a brane world setting, since SUSY breaking effects could be effectively localized. As an application, we suggest a model in which the two light chiral MSSM generations reside on B1, while the third generation is located on B2, and the Higgs multiplets as well as gravity and gauge multiplets reside in the bulk. For SUSY breaking of the order of 10--20 TeV caused by a hidden sector localized at B1, the scalars belonging to the first two generations can become sufficiently heavy to overcome the SUSY flavor problem. SUSY breaking on B2 from a different localized hidden sector gives rise to the third generation soft scalar masses of the order of 1 TeV. Gaugino masses are also of the order of 1 TeV if the size of the extra dimension is $\sim 10^{-16}$ ${\rm GeV}^{-1}$. As in 4D effective supersymmetric theory, an adjustment of TeV scale parameters is needed to realize the 100 GeV electroweak symmetry breaking scale.

description: As mandated by the Canada Health Act, the intention of Canadian health care is to ensure the physical and mental well-being of residents of Canada by providing reasonable access to health services, without financial or other barriers. Is Canada meeting the objective of the Canada Health Act for those people who are new arrivals to the country? Health care is a universal, basic good and as such, it should be provided to all who reside within Canada, regardless of their immigration status. As this discussion highlights, Canada is falling short in the provision of health care to those residents who are not Canadian citizens. The current structure of care fails to meet the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.

description: We analyze the effect of the sedimentation of $^{22}$Ne on the local white dwarf luminosity function by studying scenarios under different Galactic metallicity models. We make use of an up-to-date population synthesis code based on Monte Carlo techniques to derive the synthetic luminosity function. Constant solar metallicity models are not able to simultaneously reproduce the peak and cut-off of the white dwarf luminosity function. The extra release of energy due to $^{22}$Ne sedimentation piles up more objects in brighter bins of the faint end of the luminosity function. The contribution of a single burst thick disk population increases the number of stars in the magnitude interval centered around $M_{\rm bol}=15.75$. Among the metallicity models studied, the one following a Twarog's profile is disposable. Our best fit model was obtained when a dispersion in metallicities around the solar metallicity value is considered along with a $^{22}$Ne sedimentation model, a thick disk contribution and an age of the thin disk of $8.8\pm0.2$ Gyr. Our population synthesis model is able to reproduce the local white dwarf luminosity function with a high degree of precision when a dispersion in metallicities around the solar value model is adopted. Although the effects of $^{22}$Ne sedimentation are only marginal and the contribution of a thick disk population is minor, both of them help in better fitting the peak and the cut-off regions of the white dwarf luminosity function.

Supersymmetric Model Contributions to $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ Mixing and $B\toππ,ργ$ Decays

description: Recent results from Belle and BaBar Collaborations hint at a small $\sin2ϕ_1$, while the measured $B\toππ$ rate also seems to be on the low side. Supersymmetric (SUSY) models with down squark mixings can account for the deficits in both cases. By studying the origin of SUSY contributions that could impact on $B^0_d$--$\bar B^0_d$ mixing and $B\toππ$ decay, we find that the former would most likely arise from left-left or right-right squark mixings, while the latter would come from left-right squark mixings. These two processes in general are not much correlated in the Minimum Supersymmetric Standard Model. If the smallness of $B\toππ$ is due to SUSY models, one would likely have large $B\toργ$ from chiral enhancement, and the rate could be within present experimental reach. Even if $B\toργ$ is not greatly enhanced, it could have large mixing dependent CP violation.

Four Approaches to Canadian Physician Assistant Education: Does how we teach PAs make a difference?
Creators: name: Qureshi, Malaika
Publisher: name: The Journal of Canada’s Physician Assistants
Year: 2021

description: Each of the four Canadian PA programs have a unique approach in educating and training their students where in the end, all students share the same competency and equivalence. The University of Toronto approaches its delivery of education through distance learning; McMaster University through problem-based learning; and the University of Manitoba and Canadian Armed Forces through direct instruction. The purpose of this study was to determine how the delivery of PA education and different teaching designs influence the transfer-of-learning of Canadian PAs when transitioning from formal training to clinical practice. This descriptive study used an online survey to understand the gross patterns that emerged from each institute. The survey collected 90 responses in total. Majority respondents of all PA programs were employing the training designs emphasized by their institute; there was a correlation between the most common resource provided by their program and the most frequently used resource that PAs personally used to support their education. When transitioning from didactic year to clinical rotations, majority of PAs from the University of Manitoba, the University of Toronto and Canadian Armed Forces felt confident in practicing medicine. On average, it took McMaster University graduates nine months to feel comfortable in their role as PAs, eight months for the University of Manitoba graduates, seven months for the University of Toronto graduates and twelve months for Canadian Armed Forces graduates. Unique trends in the transfer-of-learning of PAs were not noted across the PA programs in Canada despite each program’s unique training design.

Roseburn, 2 ♀♀, 20.vi.2010, leg. Liston (SDEI, RSME).
 Liston (2008) discussed the recent reappearance of A. rosae in Scotland. The individuals above (see also Table 1) were found in vegetation in which the known larval hosts (principally cultivated Brassicaceae) are largely absent. Perhaps these three females were part of a dispersal event. During the preceding days, a strong wind blew from the North. Is it chance that the first records of A. rosae in Scotland since 1859 (Berwickshire) were to the North of Edinburgh (St. Andrews, Fife, 2007; Liston 2008)? It seems worth noting that all records of A. rosae in Scotland have until now been from the East Coast and that no male has yet been found.

description: In the present study, a soil-derived mixed microbial consortium was developed for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production via nutrient limitation. The enhanced consortium was then cultured continuously in sequential batch and the effect of different nitrogen to carbon ratios (N:C) on the yields and properties of produced PHAs and on the changes of the microbial population were investigated. In all cases, the produced polymers were identified as blends or co-polymers of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) units, with 3HB being the dominant monomer. The degradation profile and the transition temperatures of the produced PHAs were further assessed and compared, as well as the molecular weights which ranged from 77.104 Da to 180.104 Da. In order to further investigate the effect of culturing conditions on the development and alteration of the microbial consortium, the Nile blue live staining was applied in the mixed cultures at the end of each operational period. Various fluorescent single colonies were selected based on differences in their morphology and were identified. Finally, the alterations in microbial diversity and community composition assessed via the RISA profiling method (rRNA Intergenic Spacer Analyses), resulted in the identification of a number of dominant organisms.
Structured Policy Representation. Stability in arbitrarily conditioned dynamic systems

description: The poster presents a new family of deep neural network-based dynamic systems and how these dynamics can be used as structured robot policies. Additionally, the poster details the concept of global stability, as one of the most important and straightforward inductive biases which allows to impose reasonable behaviours outside the region of the demonstrations. In the work, a novel set of Conditional Invertible Neural Networks were developed. Invertible neural networks are a special type of networks that allow to compute the inverse and thus, we exploited this property to learn globally stable conditioned dynamics. The developed networks were applied for Imitation Learning problems. In our work, we presented a toy-task in which a limit cycle vector field was adapted given a phase variable, a 2D obstacle avoidance task, in which the robot should arrive to a target while avoiding a set of possible obstacles and finally, a robot learning task, in which the robot should learn how to pour in a randomly position pot from data. The obtained results would be exploited in Sharework EU project. A software module on primitives learning is dedicated to developing new movement primitives that will allow to model both human and robot movements for human motion prediction or robot motion control.

description: We investigate theoretically the fundamental phenomenon of the spontaneous, noise-induced modulational instability (MI) of a plane wave. The long-term statistical properties of the noise-induced MI have been previously observed in experiments and in simulations but have not been explained so far. In the framework of inverse scattering transform (IST), we propose a model of the asymptotic stage of the noise-induced MI based on $N$-soliton solutions ($N$-SS) of the integrable focusing one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (1D-NLSE). These $N$-SS are bound states of strongly interacting solitons having a specific distribution of the IST eigenvalues together with random phases. We use a special approach to construct ensembles of multi-soliton solutions with statistically large number of solitons $N\sim100$. Our investigation demonstrates complete agreement in spectral (Fourier) and statistical properties between the long-term evolution of the condensate perturbed by noise and the constructed multi-soliton bound states. Our results can be generalised to a broad class of integrable turbulence problems in the cases when the wave field dynamics is strongly nonlinear and driven by solitons.

description: Dirac's quantization of the Maxwell theory on non-commutative spaces has been considered. First class constraints were found which are the same as in classical electrodynamics. The gauge covariant quantization of the non-linear equations of electromagnetic fields on non-commutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the most general gauge covariant form. As a special case, the gauge fixing approach on the basis of Dirac's brackets has been investigated. The problem of the construction of the wave function and physical observables have been discussed.

description: In an average growing season in the Northeast, rainfall is somewhat less than is required for optimal performance of fruit crops. The shortage of moisture during critical periods of crop growth and fruit development affects both yields and sizing of produce, thus affecting receipts through both volume of production and average price. Seasons in which moisture is a severe limiting factor affecting profitability occur perhaps two or three years in ten for individual growers in the Northeast. Today's apple growers need investment and cost guidelines to determine the economics of getting trees into production as soon as possible and to avoid periods of drought during the productive life of orchards. Research was undertaken to determine drip irrigation investment and costs in an apple orchard. This project was designed to assist growers in determining the investment, fixed and variable costs and expected returns from drip irrigation. Irrigation suppliers provided typical equipment needs and investment costs for various drip irrigation designs. Economic worksheets were developed to assist growers in estimating fixed and variable costs of drip irrigation. The economics of yield data were applied to replicated mUlti-year irrigation studies to assist growers in determining yield response from drip irrigation. et present value (NPV) methodology was used to determine the discounted break-even investment results from published responses to drip irrigation. Growers with typical drip irrigation systems and various water sources can expect investments in drip irrigation of $464 to $880 per acre with 10 acre blocks of trees. Based upon seven years of data from the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station average yield increases due to irrigation were 117 bushels per acre, resulting in a break-even investment of around $2,000 per acre. Growers who were interviewed were unable to quantify the benefits and costs of drip irrigation but were convinced of positive yield and quality responses from drip irrigation. This analysis has proved the economic rational for the investment in microirrigation.

description: We use a gendered dynamic CGE model to assess the implications of biofuels expansion in a low-income, land-abundant setting. Mozambique is chosen as a representative case. We compare scenarios with different gender employment intensities in producing jatropha feedstock for biodiesel. Under all scenarios, biofuels investments accelerate GDP growth and reduce poverty. However, a stronger trade-off between biofuels and food availability emerges when female labor is used intensively, as women are drawn away from food production. A skills-shortage amongst female workers also limits poverty reduction. Policy simulations indicate that only modest improvements in women’s education and food crop yields are needed to address food security concerns and ensure broader-based benefits from biofuels investments.

description: The number of steps any classical computer requires in order to find the prime factors of an $l$-digit integer $N$ increases exponentially with $l$, at least using algorithms known at present. Factoring large integers is therefore conjectured to be intractable classically, an observation underlying the security of widely used cryptographic codes. Quantum computers, however, could factor integers in only polynomial time, using Shor's quantum factoring algorithm. Although important for the study of quantum computers, experimental demonstration of this algorithm has proved elusive. Here we report an implementation of the simplest instance of Shor's algorithm: factorization of ${N=15}$ (whose prime factors are 3 and 5). We use seven spin-1/2 nuclei in a molecule as quantum bits, which can be manipulated with room temperature liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. This method of using nuclei to store quantum information is in principle scalable to many quantum bit systems, but such scalability is not implied by the present work. The significance of our work lies in the demonstration of experimental and theoretical techniques for precise control and modelling of complex quantum computers. In particular, we present a simple, parameter-free but predictive model of decoherence effects in our system.

description: Sulfoxaflor (SFX) is a newly registered IRAC Group 4C nAChR-receptor-agonist systemic insecticide that is used to control sap-sucking insects in a variety of crops. SFX has a short half-life (< 2 days) in agricultural soil and is only used as a foliar-applied product. Pollinators such as honey bees could be exposed directly to spray if application occurs shortly before or during blooming of flowers, or, as SFX is systemic, via oral exposures to nectar and pollen collected by bees. Guided by a Weight-of-Evidence rubric, this paper critically assessed studies on the fate of SFX in bee-relevant matrices submitted by the registrant in several jurisdictions as well as a few studies published in the open scientific literature. These studies provided data for residues in pollen and/or nectar from 16 crops grown in several countries in both hemispheres. SFX and transformation products were detected in nectar and pollen. Transformation products have low hazard to honeybees, so the focus was on the parent material, SFX, which was observed to dissipate rapidly from pollen and nectar after application. Dietary No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Concentrations (NOAEC) derived from results of 10-day continuous feeding studies of adult (0.50 mg kg−1 diet d−1) and larval honeybees (1.69 mg kg−1 diet d−1) were used as precautionary toxicity benchmarks to characterize hazards. In this paper, we used a tiered process. The initial screening tier was based on the greatest concentration measured in the matrix. For scenarios that did not pass Tier-1, a second tier based on the 10-day time-weighted average (area under the curve, AUC) concentration in the matrix was used as a more realistic measure of exposure. Of the 90 scenarios of use that were characterized, 36 did not pass the initial screening benchmark based on ≥1concentration of SFX exceeding the 10-day NOAEC. When the 10-day AUC of exposure was estimated for these scenarios, 3 of 90 did not pass the more realistic toxicity benchmark. These three scenarios were for residues in pollen or anthers for alfalfa grown in California, strawberries grown in France, peaches grown in Michigan. The two-tier screening procedure for hazard assessment lessened the need for further assessment for 97% of the exposure scenarios and reduced the need for characterizing hazards in field-level whole-hive tests conducted under controlled conditions of exposure.

description: This paper has the objective of identifying dominant livelihood strategies in rural South Africa. It differs from previous studies done for South Africa in that it analyses a recent large household survey; classifies livelihood strategies into four broad and eight specific livelihood strategy groups and matches them with welfare strata of rural households; and analyzes socio-economic constraints poor households face to enter into high return livelihood strategies. Two approaches are applied to achieve these objectives -stochastic dominance test and multinomial logistic regression. It finds that households that generate income from wage employment in non-farm and farm activities are better off than other households. Analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of rural households also reveals that age, labour endowment, education, and community characteristics in terms of access to basic infrastructure are some of the barriers that poor households in rural areas face to enter into high-return livelihood strategies.

description: Physician Assistants (PAs) are being used to enhance service delivery in a variety of practice settings. This study investigated the impact of adding a physician assistant to an internist team covering a rural community hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in North East Ontario. Retrospective chart reviews and CIHI data extraction was done on a cohort of ICU patients prior to the hiring of a PA (no PA) and compared to a cohort of ICU patients who had received care from a PA during their ICU stay. Inverse probability of treatment propensity scores were applied to match a no PA cohort (n=136) to a PA cohort (n=132). Cohorts were matched to gender, age, comorbidity, and diagnostic groups. The use of a PA was associated with a trend towards lower mortality (42% vs 27%, p<0.07) and no difference in readmission rates or resource intensity. Post PA patients had greater lengths of CCU and hospital stay (19 hrs, p<0.002; 2 days, p<0.002) and more complete admission notes (p<0.003). Adding a PA was associated with greater CCU and hospital length of stay, more complete admission notes and a trend towards improved mortality.

description: An extension of a model of neutrino masses to the quark sector provides an interesting link between these two sectors. A parameter which is important to describe neutrino oscillations and masses is found to be a crucial one appearing in various ``penguin'' operators, in particular the so-called Z penguin. This parameter is severely constrained by the rare decay process $K_{L} \to μ^{+} μ^{-}$. This in turn has interesting implications on the decay rates of other rare processes such as $K_{L} \to μe$, etc..., as well as on the masses of the neutrinos and the masses of the vector-like quarks and leptons which appear in our model.

 Remarks. Assignment of specimens from Ghana and Saint Helena to this widespread tropical subspecies follows the key of Attems (1930) and descriptions by Lewis (2002) and Chao (2008). The sample from Ghana includes three immature specimens (length 26–31 mm) and comparative remarks are limited to the largest specimen (52 mm). It has the following typical characters of the species: 18 antennal articles, three of which are glabrous dorsally; 4+4 coxosternal teeth with the inner and outer pairs grouped; two lateral teeth and an apical tooth on the trochanteroprefemoral process; paramedian sutures complete from T4; tergites marginate from 8; paramedian sutures confined to the anterior part of the sternites; a coxopleural process of the same shape as in Lewis (2002: fig. 13), with three apical/subapical spines and a lateral spine; prefemoral spines arranged as DM 3 (including a corner spine), M2, VM 3/2+2, VL 3; two tarsal spurs on legs 1–10 or 11, one tarsal spur on legs 11- or 12–19; one tibial spur on legs 1–4 or 1–6. A unique feature is the presence of a small dorsal spine on one side of the coxopleural process. The specimen from Saint Helena has two tarsal spurs on legs 1–7 and one on legs on 8–19, and has the prefemoral spine formula DM 3 (including corner spine), VM 3, VL 3.

description: The infrared behaviour of the medium modified gluon propagator in non-equilibrium situations is studied in the covariant gauge using the Schwinger-Keldysh closed-time path formalism. It is shown that the magnetic screening mass is non-zero at the one loop level whenever the initial gluon distribution function is non isotropic with the assumption that the distribution function of the gluon is not divergent at zero transverse momentum. For isotropic gluon distribution functions, such as those describing local equilibrium, the magnetic mass at one loop level is zero which is consistent with finite temperature field theory results. Assuming that a reasonable initial gluon distribution function can be obtained from a perturbative QCD calculation of minijets, we determine these out of equilibrium values for the initial magnetic and Debye screening masses at energy densities appropriate to RHIC and LHC. We also compare the magnetic masses obtained here with those obtained using finite temperature lattice QCD methods at similar temperatures at RHIC and LHC.

description: The family Araceae (aroids) represents an ecologically important and diverse group of plants in Panama, represented by 25 genera, 615 species, of which 277 (45%) are considered endemic. The aim of this study is to analyse the diversity and distributional patterns of aroids along an elevation gradient in the species-rich forests of Darién, Panama. We confined our study to three study sites, selected across gradients of elevation (ranges): 100–300, 500–700 and 1100–1300 m. We recorded 3187 specimens, of which 397 were terrestrials, 637 epiphytes and 2153 nomadic vines, distributed in 10 genera and 61 species. Our study shows that the most diverse areas were those between 500 and 700 m and the highest abundance were measured at 1100–1300 m. The epiphytic aroids displayed greater species richness and abundance at 1100–1300 m; the nomadic vines had greater richness between 500 and 700 m and greater abundance from 100 to 300 m. Similarly, terrestrial aroids showed greater richness at 500–700 m, and exhibited abundance values similar to that of the epiphytes. We measured a high degree of aroid species turnover along the elevation gradient and some genera and species (many being endemic) appeared strongly associated with sites at specific elevations.
Challenges and Conservation Measures: Water Resources of the North China Plain

description: The North China Plain, including plains of the Yellow (Huaig He) River, Huai He River and Hai He River, has a very important political, economic and cultural position in China. Its population is 35%, its GDP 32% and its irrigated area 42% of the figures for the whole of China. The region is now facing a severe shortage of water: a big challenge for sustainable social, economic and environmental development. Taking the Hai He River plain as an example, the average available volume of water per person per year is equal to 1/7 of that in China overall, and less than 1/24 of that in the world. The consumption of water of the Yellow River, the Huai He River and Hai He River is 67%, 59% and 90% of the flow, respectively. Groundwater has been overused: the deficit is nearly 90 billion m3, affecting about 90 000 km2 — 70% of the area of the plain. In recent years the scarcity of water has seriously increased. The main reasons are that the climate is becoming dryer, runoff from upper reaches of the rivers has declined following regional revegetation activity and other conservation work, industry and cities are developing quickly, and irrigation for agriculture has increased. The regional development plan anticipates that in 2010, 2030 and 2050 the water deficit will be 10–23, 16–30 and 16–31 billion m3 per year respectively. In order to resolve the water shortage of North China, a very large engineering project to carry water from the south is now in progress. This project is only one part of a comprehensive program which combines water transfer (‘water carrying’), water saving, water quality protection, use of runoff water and groundwater, and unified management of all water in the region, which we hope will alleviate the water crisis of North China.

description: We develop a systematic and unified random matrix theory to classify Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) and supersymmetric (SUSY) SYK models and also work out the structure of the energy levels in one periodic table. The SYK with even $q$- and SUSY SYK with odd $q$-body interaction, $N$ even or odd number of Majorana fermions are put on the same footing in the minimal Hilbert space, $N\pmod 8$ and $q\pmod 4$ double Bott periodicity are identified. Exact diagonalizations are performed to study both the bulk energy level statistics and hard edge behaviours. A new moment ratio of the smallest positive eigenvalue is introduced to determine hard edge index efficiently. Excellent agreements between the ED results and the symmetry classifications are demonstrated. Our complete and systematic methods can be transformed to map out more complicated periodic tables of SYK models with more degree of freedoms, tensor models and symmetry protected topological phases. Possible classification of charge neutral quantum black holes are hinted.

description: Brands have largely been absent for fresh produce products; however, apples are one notable exception whereby varieties partially take the place of brands. Studying the role of brands in this market is particularly interesting given the introduction of several patented or socalled managed apple varieties. We develop an experiment to examine consumer response to a suite of apple varieties; treatments employ different branding strategies using different names for a new managed variety included in the experiment. Results suggest that the name does influence consumer valuation of the new variety and existing managed varieties, but has little impact on markets for traditional apple varieties.
