description: Cover crops can help reduce the negative environmental impacts of cotton production. Using time series yield data, this study utilizes generalized stochastic dominance to evaluate the relative worth, via risk premiums, of three cover crop and two conventional production systems based on expected net returns of each system and decision maker risk attitude. Results indicate, within the limitation of the study, two cover crop regimes possess a high degree of dominance over conventional systems. Determination of the dominant regime depends upon the risk attitude of a specific decision maker. This research suggests cover crop production systems may be feasible alternatives to conventional practices.

description: We present detailed theoretical mass-radius relations for massive white dwarf stars with oxygen-neon cores. This work is motivated by recent observational evidence about the existence of white dwarf stars with very high surface gravities. Our results are based on evolutionary calculations that take into account the chemical composition expected from the evolutionary history of massive white dwarf progenitors. We present theoretical mass-radius relations for stellar mass values ranging from 1.06 to 1.30 Mo with a step of 0.02 Mo and effective temperatures from 150000 K to approx. 5,000 K. A novel aspect predicted by our calculations is that the mass-radius relation for the most massive white dwarfs exhibits a marked dependence on the neutrino luminosity. Extensive tabulations for massive white dwarfs, accessible from our web site, are presented as well.

description: The killing of day-old male chicks of laying breeds is common practice and is widely discussed within society. There are few alternatives available to replace this practice. One possibility is the use of dual-purpose chicken breeds. The use of these chicken breeds would have implications not only for the entire supply food chain but also for consumers. Their meat and eggs have a different appearance, and the resulting products would be more expensive. Furthermore, little is known about consumers’ opinions of dual-purpose chickens at present. For this reason, it is essential to explore consumer acceptance of dual-purpose chickens. Mixed methods with a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods proved to be an appropriate approach to learn more about this matter. The results of six focus groups with an exploratory character served as the basis for an online survey with 1,502 respondents in Germany. The data was analysed with the aid of a factor analysis that identified seven factors explaining consumers’ attitudes towards dual-purpose chickens. A cluster analysis segmented the respondents into three cluster groups: opponents (37.5%), supporters (23.4%), and indifferents (39.1%). The indifferents represent the largest group of respondents and are therefore an important target group when it comes to potential marketing strategies of products from dual-purpose chickens. The results illustrate the importance of analysing consumer acceptance with regard to emerging issues and before a new product is introduced to the market.

description: Motivated by the recent prediction of anisotropy in piezoresistance of ballistic graphene along longitudinal and transverse directions, we investigate the angular gauge factor of graphene in the ballistic and diffusive regimes using highly efficient quantum transport models. It is shown that the angular guage factor in both ballistic and diffusive graphene between $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$ bears a sinusoidal relation with a periodicity of $π$ due to the reduction of six-fold symmetry into a two-fold symmetry as a result of applied strain. The angular gauge factor is zero at critical angles $20^{\circ}$ and $56^{\circ}$ in ballistic and diffusive regimes respectively. Based on these findings, we propose a graphene based ballistic nano-sensor which can be used as a reference piezoresistor in a Wheatstone bridge read-out technique. The reference sensors proposed here are unsusceptible to inherent residual strain present in strain sensors and unwanted strain generated by the vapours in explosives detection. The theoretical models developed in this paper can be applied to explore similar applications in other 2D-Dirac materials. The proposals made here potentially pave the way for implementation of NEMS strain sensors based on the principle of ballistic transport, which will eventually replace MEMS piezoresistance sensors with a decrease in feature size. The presence of strain insenstive ``critical angle'' in graphene may be useful in flexible wearable electronics also.

description: The decision of whether to release transgenic crops in the EU is one subject to flexibility, uncertainty, and irreversibility. We analyse the case of herbicide tolerant sugar beet and reassess whether the 1998 de facto moratorium of the EU on transgenic crops for sugar beet was correct from a cost-benefit perspective using a real option approach. We show that the decision was correct, if households value possible annual irreversible costs of herbicide tolerant sugar beet with about 1 E or more on average. On the other hand, the total net private reversible benefits forgone if the de facto moratorium is not lifted are in the order of 169 Mio E per year.

We demonstrate this by investigating the ground state structure of $^8$B and $^7$Be nuclei within the Skyrme Hartree-Fock framework and by calculating the overlap integral of $^8$B and $^7$Be wave functions. The latter is used to calculate the astrophysical S factor ($S_{17}$) for the solar fusion reaction $^{7}$Be($p, γ)^{8}$B.

Policy processes, institutional participants, and management programs : foundations for establishing a market for forest carbon in Canada
Creators: name: Harkin, Zoe Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The 'Kyoto Protocol', signed by the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997, allows countries to use carbon sequestered in forests as a means to meet internationally binding Greenhouse Gas reduction targets. This carbon can potentially be traded, thereby providing a non-timber revenue to forest growers. Forests managed for carbon storage achieve a range of additional forest management objectives such as biodiversity management, land aesthetics and water quality protection. To maximize the social, economic and environmental benefits of both emissions trading and forest carbon sinks, foundations for sound forest carbon management must be established on three levels: processes, participants and programs. A sound forest carbon policy making process will provide the foundation for a credible market for forest carbon. To address the issue of permanence, the implementation 100-year time limited profit á prendre legislation is described. A logical framework is devised to facilitate cooperation between the seven key institutional participants in the market for forest carbon. The proposed 'National Carbon Network' is designed to facilitate efficient data exchange among the key institutional participants in a way that is cost-effective, yet verifiable at an operational, national and international level. A 'carbon refund scheme' is proposed to provide incentives for efficient forest carbon inventory. A carbon pooling structure is planned to spread risk of carbon loss among a number of forest carbon owners. An operational level forest carbon accounting and management program is formulated to provide a transparent and verifiable means of measuring, reporting and trading forest carbon. The program consists of ten steps and was designed to interface with existing vegetation inventories. The carbon accounting program aims to provide incentive for investment in additional forest carbon management by describing a variable carbon accounting system.

description: The aim of this report is to provide an approach to different business models (BM) related with operation and energy services for the three case study thermal solutions, in order to ensure the correct performance and durability of the systems by handling all the necessary technical and financial information provided by the CHESS SETUP system. Through a close analysis of the current ESCO market situation, this Deliverable is meant to propose and develop an ESCO model for holistic energy efficiency retrofitting projects, focusing on the system developed by CHESS SETUP project which consists on the optimal combination of solar thermal (ST) energy production, heat storage and heat pump use. This model, with its variances / differences regarding the implementation on the three demonstration pilot sites, should be able to provide a profitable, feasible and scalable business model (BM) to operate and maintain CHESS SETUP solution, and to maximize its efficiency. The model proposed is presented with the different terms and alternatives, as well as the benefits earned both for the client and for the ESCOs, and should be adjusted according to the three pilot’s experiences to guarantee its replicability on similar conditions.

description: The present study which started in 1999 is framed in the INCOYAM project. Marketing systems of yam are analyzed in three West- African countries: Cote d'Ivoire, Benin and Nigeria. Surveys have been carried out on urban (wholesales and retailers) and rural (collectors) traders. Cities and production regions have been selected in function of their socio-economic characteristics. As a result, in the three countries data has been collected in an important consumption pole, a commercial redistribution pole and a production pole. The degree of precision of the data varies from one country to another due to asymmetric financing. This situation did not allow establishing an equilibrated comparison of yam marketing systems. The three countries commercialize a similar product but their marketing systems and the structures of their marketing chain varies from one country to another.

description: Interest has grown around the classification of stance that users assume within online debates in recent years. Stance has been usually addressed by considering users posts in isolation, while social studies highlight that social communities may contribute to influence users' opinion. Furthermore, stance should be studied in a diachronic perspective, since it could help to shed light on users' opinion shift dynamics that can be recorded during the debate. We analyzed the political discussion in UK about the BREXIT referendum on Twitter, proposing a novel approach and annotation schema for stance detection, with the main aim of investigating the role of features related to social network community and diachronic stance evolution. Classification experiments show that such features provide very useful clues for detecting stance.

description: We report direct single-laser excitation of the strictly forbidden (6s^2)^1S_0 -(6s6p)^3P_0 clock transition in the even 174Yb isotope confined to a 1D optical lattice. A small (~1.2 mT) static magnetic field was used to induce a nonzero electric dipole transition probability between the clock states at 578.42 nm. Narrow resonance linewidths of 20 Hz (FHWM) with high contrast were observed, demonstrating a record neutral-atom resonance quality factor of 2.6x10^13. The previously unknown ac Stark shift-canceling (magic) wavelength was determined to be 759.35+/-0.02 nm. This method for using the metrologically superior even isotope can be easily implemented in current Yb and Sr lattice clocks, and can create new clock possibilities in other alkaline earth-like atoms such as Mg and Ca.

description: Contract enforcement problems are a significant constraint on investment and growth, especially so in developing and transition economies. Evidence on these effects is mostly limited to case studies. This paper analyses the impact of contractual breaches on capital investment, using a unique dataset of Hungarian agricultural enterprises who contract production to processing firms. Contract breaches, under the form of delayed payments for supplied products, have a significant negative effect on investment at the primary production level. They occur more when the expected benefits from breaching are larger, e.g. when the price of capital is high, and when expected costs are lower, due to poor external contract enforcement or lower private enforcement capital.

description: With the rapid explosion of data volume from mobile networks, edge caching has received significant attentions as an efficient approach to boost content delivery efficiency by bringing contents near users. In this article, cache-enabled heterogeneous networks (HetNets) considering the limited backhaul is analyzed with the aid of the stochastic geometry approach. A hybrid caching policy, in which the most popular contents are cached in the macro BSs tier with the deterministic caching strategy and the less popular contents are cached in the helpers tier with the probabilistic caching strategy, is proposed. Correspondingly, the content-centric association strategy is designed based on the comprehensive state of the access link, the cache and the backhaul link. Under the hybrid caching policy, new analytical results for successful content delivery probability, average successful delivery rate and energy efficiency are derived in the general scenario, the interference-limited scenario and the mean load scenario. The simulation results show that the proposed caching policy outperforms the most popular caching policy in HetNets with the limited backhaul. The performance gain is dramatically improved when the content popularity is less skewed, the cache capacity is sufficient and the helper density is relatively large. Furthermore, it is confirmed that there exists an optimal helper density to maximize the energy efficiency of the cache-enabled HetNets.

description: Exchange rates were heavily distorted under the central planning system in Central and Eastern Europe and are still adjusting in the transition process. The use of nominal exchange rates introduces a bias for international price comparisons and in calculations based on them. We present various exchange rates and discuss their relevance and usefulness for CEEC economic transition studies. We show that calculations of agricultural price distortions, protection rates and budgetary costs of EU-CEEC accession are sensitive to the exchange rate assumptions. More specifically, our simulations of EU-CEEC integration effects show that net exports are substantially smaller and budgetary costs less under the assumption of continued real appreciation of the CEC-4 currencies. However, the calculations also show that even under the extreme assumption of full adjustment to PPPs, the total budgetary costs remain large and GATT commitments on the maximum quantity of subsidized exports are still prohibiting an introduction of an unreformed CAP in the CEC-4.

description: The notion of k-clique percolation in random graphs is introduced, where k is the size of the complete subgraphs whose large scale organizations are analytically and numerically investigated. For the Erdos-Renyi graph of N vertices we obtain that the percolation transition of k-cliques takes place when the probability of two vertices being connected by an edge reaches the threshold pc(k)=[(k-1)N]^{-1/(k-1)}. At the transition point the scaling of the giant component with N is highly non-trivial and depends on k. We discuss why clique percolation is a novel and efficient approach to the identification of overlapping communities in large real networks.

Short-term responses of songbirds to alternate harvesting methods in a high elevation forest
Creators: name: Leupin, Ernest E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Silvicultural alternatives to clearcutting have been promoted in forests of British Columbia to attempt to simulate short-term natural disturbances typical of certain forest types as these cuts are hypothesized to mitigate negative impacts on wildlife dependent on forests. However, the potential effects of these harvesting activities have not been studied enough to evaluate their success in mitigating wildlife impacts. I examined the response of songbirds breeding in high elevation, Engelmann spruce-subalpine fir forests (Sicamous Creek Research Forest) to alternative forms of forest harvesting using the variable circular method of point counting to determine relative abundance. The experimental harvesting treatments at Sicamous created openings (perforations) in the original forest that ranged in size from 10ha clearcuts to small gaps (0.01 ha) resulting from the harvest of selected trees. The community of songbirds that breed in the Sicamous Creek Research Forest was monitored over a five-year period that included both pre- and post-harvest conditions. The original songbird community remained relatively unchanged after harvest and among the various treatments. Few new species colonized the newly created habitats (openings) and did so in very small numbers. Golden-crowned kinglet declined significantly post-harvest in harvested areas with the most pronounced declines in selection and 10 ha treatments. Conversely, dark-eyed junco responded positively to the harvesting and increased in abundance in all harvested treatments. In general, the creation of a variety of habitats through alternative harvesting methods appears to lessen impacts and allow much of the songbird community to persist in high elevation forests. This persistence may be related to an evolutionary adaptation of songbirds to small-scale disturbances typical of high elevation forests that alternative harvesting methods simulate. Future research should focus on long-term monitoring to determine reproductive success in the various harvesting techniques.

description: We study the open-domain named entity recognition (NER) problem under distant supervision. The distant supervision, though does not require large amounts of manual annotations, yields highly incomplete and noisy distant labels via external knowledge bases. To address this challenge, we propose a new computational framework -- BOND, which leverages the power of pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT and RoBERTa) to improve the prediction performance of NER models. Specifically, we propose a two-stage training algorithm: In the first stage, we adapt the pre-trained language model to the NER tasks using the distant labels, which can significantly improve the recall and precision; In the second stage, we drop the distant labels, and propose a self-training approach to further improve the model performance. Thorough experiments on 5 benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of BOND over existing distantly supervised NER methods. The code and distantly labeled data have been released in https://github.com/cliang1453/BOND.

description: This paper analyses how market imperfections affect the welfare effects of introducing the CAP in the new Eastern Member States (NEMS) of the EU. We model how transaction costs and imperfect competition in the land market affect the distribution of policy rents. We find that benefits of direct payments end up with landowners in NEMS also with imperfections in the NEMS land markets. With unequal access to subsidies small tenant farmers may even lose out from the subsidies. Decoupling of payments shifts policy rents to farmers. However, decoupling will constrain productivity enhancing restructuring which would result from accession induced improvements in the land markets. Using reserve entitlements to mitigate this effect reduces the intended benefits on distortions and target efficiency.
The radio properties of the cD galaxy of Abell 2390

description: We present multi-frequency, multi-epoch radio imaging of the complex radio source B2151+174 in the core of the cluster, Abell 2390 (z~0.23). From new and literature data we conclude that the FRII-powerful radio source is the combination of a compact, core-dominated `medium-symmetric object' (MSO) with a more extended, steeper spectrum mini-halo. B2151+174 is unusual in a number of important aspects: i) it is one of the most compact and flat spectrum sources in a cluster core known; ii) it shows a complex, compact twin-jet structure in a north-south orientation; iii) the orientation of the jets is 45deg misaligned with apparent structure (ionization cones and dust disk) of the host galaxy on larger scales. Since the twin-jet of the MSO has its northern half with an apparent `twist', it might be that precession of the central supermassive black hole explains this misalignement. B2151+174 may be an example of the early stage (10^3-10^4 yrs duration) of a `bubble' being blown into the ICM where the plasma has yet to expand.

description: The most dramatic recent immigration in Europe is the influx of more than 700,000 Albanians, about a quarter of the total Albanian workforce, in the 1990s. The vast majority migrated illegally. This paper analyses the determinants of Albanian migration based on a unique representative survey of rural households. The study confirms that migrants are mostly young, male, and single. Regional variations in migration reflect a combination of cultural and economic factors, including migration costs. However, we find that migrants do not come from the poorest rural households. Moreover, education has a positive, albeit non-linear, effect on the likelihood of migration. Migration is negatively related with household access to alternative income sources and reduced financial constraints but positively related with the presence and household's access to migration networks. Policy implications are that aid programs and government initiatives to invest in rural infrastructure and rural education may have mixed effects on migration. A key policy target to reduce migration should be the creation of non-farm rural employment and rural households' access to finance.

description: This paper presents a deep normal filtering network, called DNF-Net, for mesh denoising. To better capture local geometry, our network processes the mesh in terms of local patches extracted from the mesh. Overall, DNF-Net is an end-to-end network that takes patches of facet normals as inputs and directly outputs the corresponding denoised facet normals of the patches. In this way, we can reconstruct the geometry from the denoised normals with feature preservation. Besides the overall network architecture, our contributions include a novel multi-scale feature embedding unit, a residual learning strategy to remove noise, and a deeply-supervised joint loss function. Compared with the recent data-driven works on mesh denoising, DNF-Net does not require manual input to extract features and better utilizes the training data to enhance its denoising performance. Finally, we present comprehensive experiments to evaluate our method and demonstrate its superiority over the state of the art on both synthetic and real-scanned meshes.

description: This doctoral dissertation explores the role of gender in the creation and development of social enterprises. The first chapter establishes the need for research at the intersection of women entrepreneurship and social enterprises. The second chapter discusses the role of gender in social entrepreneurship’s research by providing a systematic overview of the literature. This chapter is useful in providing a guide for the remaining chapters in that it helps to understand how women, in terms of their gender, affect the development of social enterprises. This leads to the third chapter whereby means of a single-case study, we aim to examine the role and impact of women leading social enterprises. In order to gain a comparative perspective, the fourth chapter highlights the contextual factors affecting social entrepreneurs through a critical approach to the study of the interrelation between gender and social entrepreneurship. Finally, the last chapter develops the main conclusion of this dissertation: women make a difference in social forms, confirming that gender indeed influences entrepreneurial leadership in social ventures. This last chapter also lays the ground for future research and implications for practice. Esta tesis doctoral explora el papel del género en la creación y desarrollo de las empresas sociales. El primer capítulo presenta la necesidad de estudiar la intersección entre mujeres emprendedoras y empresas sociales. El segundo capítulo trata del papel del género en la investigación sobre emprendimiento social, proporcionando para ello una revisión sistemática de la literatura. Este capítulo sirve de guía para los capítulos restantes en tanto en cuanto permite comprender cómo las mujeres, en términos de género, afectan al desarrollo de las empresas sociales. Esto nos lleva al tercer capítulo, en el que, mediante un estudio de caso único, pretendemos examinar el papel y el impacto de las mujeres que se encuentran al frente de las empresas sociales. Con el fin de obtener una perspectiva comparativa, el cuarto capítulo destaca los factores contextuales que afectan a los emprendedores sociales. Para ello se ha aplicado un enfoque crítico que permite estudiar la interrelación entre género y emprendimiento social. Para finalizar, el último capítulo desarrolla la conclusión principal de la presente tesis: las mujeres marcan la diferencia en las formas sociales, lo que confirma que el género sí influye en el liderazgo emprendedor de las empresas sociales. Este último capítulo sienta asimismo las bases para posteriores estudios e implicaciones prácticas.

description: Topological physics and in particular its connection with artificial gauge fields is a forefront topic in different physical systems, ranging from cold atoms to photonics and more recently semiconductor dressed exciton-photon states, called polaritons. Engineering the energy dispersion of polaritons in microcavities through nanofabrication or exploiting the intrinsic material and cavity anisotropies has demonstrated many intriguing effects related to topology and emergent gauge fields. Here, we show that we can control the Berry curvature distribution of polariton bands in a strongly coupled organic-inorganic 2D perovskite single crystal. The spatial anisotropy of the perovskite crystal combined with photonic spin-orbit coupling make emerge two Hamilton's diabolical points in the dispersion. The application of an external magnetic field breaks time reversal symmetry thanks to the exciton Zeeman splitting. It splits the diabolical points degeneracy. The resulting bands show non-zero integral Berry curvature which we directly measure by state tomography. Crucially, we show that we can control the Berry curvature distribution in the band, the so-called band geometry, within the same microcavity.

description: We discuss the backreaction of a massless, minimally coupled, quantized scalar field on a thick, two-dimensional de Sitter (dS) brane as an extension of our previous work. We show that a finite brane thickness naturally regularizes the backreaction on the brane. The quantum backreaction exhibits a quadratic divergence in the thin wall limit. We also give a theoretical bound on the brane thickness, in terms of the brane self-consistency of the quantum corrected Einstein equation, namely the requirement that the size of the backreaction should be smaller than that of the background stress-energy at the center of the brane. Finally, we discuss the brane self-consistency for the case of a four-dimensional dS brane.
