description: Despite the growth and interest in the agribusiness profession, what constitutes agribusiness management research continues to be a perennial debate. This study argues that the advancement of a field is predicated on defining a field’s set of fundamental questions or issues because resolution of such issues serves to elevate the field to a high level of research inquiry. In order to advance the domain of agribusiness management in agricultural economics, this study examines four questions of strategy and outlines the pertinent theories used in resolving such concerns. Theories which we feel can advance agribusiness management to be a distinct discipline include Coase’s (1937) treatment on the “nature of the firm,” Simon’s (1957, 1976) concept of bounded rationality, Penrose’s (1959) theory of the growth of the firm, and subsequently Barney’s (1986, 1991) Resource-Based View. The relevance and implications of this early work should serve as a guide to those seeking to explain an agribusiness firm’s existence, behavior, growth and heterogeneity.

description: We investigate split supersymmetry (SUSY) within a supergravity framework, where local SUSY is broken by the F-term of a hidden sector chiral superfield X. With reasonably general assumptions, we show that the fermionic component of X will always have mass within a Tev. Though its coupling to the observable sector superfields is highly suppressed in Tev scale SUSY, we show that it can be enhanced by many orders in split SUSY, leading to its likely participation in accelerator phenomenology.We conclude with a specific example of such a scenario in a string based supergravity model.

description: We construct two non-semisimple braided ribbon tensor categories of modules for each singlet vertex operator algebra $\mathcal{M}(p)$, $p\geq 2$. The first category consists of all finite-length $\mathcal{M}(p)$-modules with atypical composition factors, while the second is the subcategory of modules that induce to local modules for the triplet vertex operator algebra $\mathcal{W}(p)$. We show that every irreducible module has a projective cover in the second of these categories, although not in the first, and we compute all fusion products involving atypical irreducible modules and their projective covers.

description: The thesis at hand deals with the modelling of heat input and mass deposition during thermal spraying and especially with the capturing of the effective material behaviour of microstructures under consideration of inelasticity in the framework of thermo-mechanical continua. The heat input during thermal spraying is modelled by means of convective heat transfer as well as radiation in the framework of a non-linear rigid heat conductor which is implemented into a finite element programme. This model is subsequently extended in order to capture mass deposition via hot particles by a novel thermodynamically consistent ansatz. As this work proceeds, the main emphasis of this thesis is on the development of a thermo-mechanically coupled two-scale finite element programme. Here, the effective material behaviour of underlying microstructures is directly used in the solution of boundary value problems at the upper scale of application by means of numerical homogenisation. The implementation is carried out in the framework of small as well as finite deformations. In both cases, a thermo-viscoplastic material model is applied in order to exemplarily represent non-linear inelastic material behaviour. Furthermore, novel boundary conditions are elaborated for the solution of thermo-mechanically coupled boundary values problems at the scale of the underlying microstructure. The capabilities of the developed finite element frameworks as well as of the novel methods included therein are shown by means of descriptive numerical simulations.

description: Historically, South America has had war conflicts as a traditional threat to peace and security. However, with the appearance of phenomena such as globalization, the rise of new threats or non-traditional threats is evident. Drug trafficking and organized crime are two of the main threats to the region. To face these predicaments, countries have developed security agendas based on their conceptions of security, defense, risk and threats. However, the programs and objectives proposed have been ineffective. A cooperative security agenda from UNASUR has been proposed as a solution in order for all countries to work towards the definitive eradication of these threats; nevertheless, there are several factors that must be analyzed if this objective is to be achieved. The present investigation shows that the creation of a cooperative security agenda proposed by the Defense Council (CDS) of UNASUR is unlikely to happen due to the diversity of security and defense concepts reflected in the security agendas of the countries of the region. The research uses analysis of statistics and data as qualitative methodology and empirical phenomenology through a documentary analysis of security documents as a qualitative methodology. The qualitative method weighs over the quantitative one. Additionally, it proposes Barry Buzan's theory of security complexes as a theoretical framework

Investigation of an EMG referenced control channel for grasp force supplementation
Creators: name: Forrest, Gregory G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This work investigates the potential of using an air-muscle actuated orthosis controlled by an electromyographic (EMG) signal to reliably supplement the grasping force of the hand, thereby allowing the user to reduce the muscle activation required for a power-grasping task. In particular, the study reported herein tested the hypotheses that subjects could stably handle objects and learn to reduce both their grip force and muscle activation levels with force supplementation. In this study, a surface-mounted EMG sensor on the flexor digitorum provides the input to a proportional-integral-derivative controller governing the force generated by the orthosis. Although this approach presumes that the human motor system will stably adapt to the orthotic system, we designed the system to operate in an intuitive and predictable manner. Nine subjects performed a sequence of unassisted and assisted lifts of a weighted and instrumented cylinder. When using the orthotic system to lift the cylinder, subjects reliably reduced their mean grip force and mean percent maximum voluntary contraction (%MVC) (p<0.01). The grip force applied to the cylinder was reduced for seven of the nine subjects (p<0.01) and the %MVC was reduced for five of the nine subjects (p<0.01). None of the subjects exhibited any instability or reported any difficulties when using the orthosis. On average, the subjects reduced their %MVC and grasp force by 31% and 56% respectively.

description: The increase in private labels within the food retailing industry and retailers' high expenditures for establishing them raise a central question: Do consumers really consider private labels "real" brands and do they develop loyalty towards them? We analyse a four-year household panel data set of frozen pizza purchases of 14,000 households in Germany to study differences in consumers' repurchasing behaviour between national brands and private labels. We consider dynamic aspects of repurchase behaviour as well as household characteristics applying a hazard approach. Our results show differences between national brands and private labels.

description: In this paper a vectorized algorithm for simultaneously computing up to eight singular value decompositions (SVDs, each of the form $A=UΣV^{\ast}$) of real or complex matrices of order two is proposed. The algorithm extends to a batch of matrices of an arbitrary length $n$, that arises, for example, in the annihilation part of the parallel Kogbetliantz algorithm for the SVD of a square matrix of order $2n$. The SVD algorithm for a single matrix of order two is derived first. It scales, in most instances error-free, the input matrix $A$ such that its singular values $Σ_{ii}$ cannot overflow whenever its elements are finite, and then computes the URV factorization of the scaled matrix, followed by the SVD of a non-negative upper-triangular middle factor. A vector-friendly data layout for the batch is then introduced, where the same-indexed elements of each of the input and the output matrices form vectors, and the algorithm's steps over such vectors are described. The vectorized approach is then shown to be about three times faster than processing each matrix in isolation, while slightly improving accuracy over the straightforward method for the $2\times 2$ SVD.

description: Soybeans (Glycine max) serve as one of the most valuable crops in the world, not only as an oil seed crop and feed for livestock and aquaculture, but also as a good source of protein for the human diet and as a biofuel feedstock. The world soybean production increased by 4.6% annually from 1961 to 2007 and reached average annual production of 217.6 million tons in 2005-07. World production of soybeans is predicted to increase by 2.2% annually to 371.3 million tons by 2030 using an exponential smoothing model with a damped trend. Finally, three scenarios and their implications are presented for increasing supply as land availability declines. The scenarios highlight for agribusiness policy makers and managers the urgent need for significant investments in yield improving research.

description: Several researchers, who have observed that traditional cooperatives have difficulties in modern markets, mention a number of behavioral concepts characterizing the members. This study attempts to empirically test these concepts. It is based on a survey among members of a large traditional Swedish cooperative. The members perceive the cooperative to be so large and complex that they have difficulties understanding the operations. Hence, they become dissatisfied and uninvolved, and they mistrust the leadership. Moreover, they do not believe that the cooperative can be remodeled to strengthen member control. The findings support the behavioral explanations presented in prior studies.

description: We show that direct limit completions of vertex tensor categories inherit vertex and braided tensor category structures, under conditions that hold for example for all known Virasoro and affine Lie algebra tensor categories. A consequence is that the theory of vertex operator (super)algebra extensions also applies to infinite-order extensions. As an application, we relate rigid and non-degenerate vertex tensor categories of certain modules for both the affine vertex superalgebra of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ and the $N=1$ super Virasoro algebra to categories of Virasoro algebra modules via certain cosets.

Dynamic stabilization of the lumbar spine : an in vitro biomechanical investigation
Creators: name: Niosi, Christina Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Dynesys, a dynamic posterior stabilization system that provides an alternative to fusion, is designed to preserve intersegmental kinematics and reduce loading at the facet joints. Previous biomechanical investigations have analyzed kinematic behaviour using translations and/or rotations about a primary axis. The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive biomechanical evaluation to determine the effect of the Dynesys system on kinematic behaviour and load transfer and to examine the effect of variation in the length of the Dynesys spacer. Ten cadaveric lumbar spine segments (L2-L5) were subjected to pure moments of ±7.5 Nm in three loading directions with and without a compressive follower preload of 600 N. The flexibility tests were performed on the specimens under nine different conditions. Intervertebral positions were measured using an optoelectronic camera system, from which range of motion (ROM), neutral zone (NZ), and helical axis of motion (HAM) were calculated. Pressure sensors were placed inside the joint capsules to measure facet contact loads and custom needle pressure transducers were used to measure intradiscal pressures. Statistical significance was determined using repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) (p < 0.05). The Dynesys resulted in a reduction in ROM to 16%, 30%, 25%, and 88% that of intact ROM in flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation. The device caused a posterior shift of the HAM in flexion-extension and axial rotation as well as a change in the orientation of the HAM. There was an increase in facet load in flexion with the Dynesys, an initial load created at the facet joints by installation of the system, and the anterior column load in the neutral position and axial rotation was reduced. In all three loading directions there was an increase in ROM with the long spacer and decrease with the short spacer compared to the standard spacer, with the largest difference seen in axial rotation. The long spacer resulted in a smaller posterior shift in the position of the HAM in axial rotation. Also evident was a reduction in the initial load at the facet joints and a decrease in facet load during flexion and lateral bending. The Dynesys created compression of the posterior elements and an asymmetric stiffness that both altered the kinematic behaviour and load transfer through the segment, and may have important clinical implications. The Dynesys reduced the large ROM that resulted after injury and allowed a ROM that was similar or greater than that of rigid fixation. However, with the emerging dynamic stabilization systems where motion is preserved, it becomes prudent to consider the complete motion pattern and load transfer through the segment when examining the efficacy of the device.

description: Beginning January 1, 2015, conventional cage housing for egg-laying hens is scheduled to be prohibited in California. We consider the economic implications of the new hen housing regulations on the California shell egg industry. Our data show that egg production is more costly using noncage systems than conventional cages. The main result of the new regulations will be a drastic reduction in the number of eggs produced in California, a large increase in egg shipments from out of state, little if any change in hen housing for eggs consumed in California, and little change in egg prices in California.

description: Article 8 in the Paris Agreement is devoted exclusively to climate change-driven loss and damage. It follows that the planned ‘global stocktake’ of the Paris Agreement, which will assess progress toward reaching the Agreement’s goals, should also cover loss and damage. Determining how the assessment for Article 8 should be framed is a question that remains largely unexplored. Doing so is challenging for at least two reasons: the prevailing knowledge gaps in loss and damage research and the contentious nature of inter-governmental negotiations about loss and damage. This article identifies the key framing questions that ought to be answered in the context of Article 8, prior to conducting the ‘global stocktake’. Key among these framing questions are critical structural problems, stemming mainly from underrepresentation of Global South worldviews, and from major data gaps and methodological difficulties inherent to assessing progress with managing loss and damage. A ‘global stocktake’ of Article 8 provides a window of opportunity for making headway on the inter-governmental debate about loss and damage, and the direction of the research efforts that are needed to inform such debate. This article concludes by reflecting on the stakes that developing countries have in that window of opportunity. Key policy insightsImperfect as its output might be, the first global stocktake under the Paris Agreement can help identify and act upon the key barriers that today prevent us from conducting a comprehensive assessment of progress with regard to the goals of Article 8 on loss and damage.The global stocktake should not shy away from considering loss and damage, and should ideally conduct separate assessments for losses and for damages.Developing country governments can use the global stocktake to raise the profile of climate change-driven loss, which is comparatively under-researched, while promoting a concerted effort to fund high-quality domestic research.

description: The effects of the exchange rate, the U.S. agricultural price, the domestic income, and the interest rate on the U.S. net farm income are investigated in a cointegration framework. For this purpose, the Phillips-Hansen fully-modified cointegration (FM-OLS) procedure is applied to annual data for the period 1957–2008. Results suggest that there exists the long-run equilibrium relationship between the U.S. net farm income and the selected macroeconomic variables. We also find that the exchange rate and U.S. agricultural price are more important than other variables in determining the U.S. net farm income.

description: Sri Lanka is emerging as service sector driven economy with the GDP penetration of 50%-60% from service sector. After imposing the open economy policy in 1977, local brands had to gear ahead with intensive competition came from international brands. Telecommunication industry of Sri Lanka has been dominated by international brands, but local brands are strategically promoting the concept of country of origin (CO) or being local as a motive for citizens to deliberately purchase locally originated brands. In this context researchers viewed this branding practice, and selected 200 respondents from four geographical areas under the stratified probability sampling method to investigate the effect of country of origin in terms of brand performance. Both descriptive and inferential statistical analysis executed by PCA (principal component analysis) factor analysis accompanied with testing two hypotheses revealed that Country of Origin (CO) or promoting as being local had impacted less significantly on brand awareness and recalled power development of telecommunication brands against the competitive foreign brands. However, it has a significant impact on brand recalling power.

Virtual milling
Creators: name: Bélanger, Isabelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Milling is used to manufacture a wide variety of metal parts, from simple to complex geometries, in small or large volumes. The requirements for these parts usually necessitate that the milling operation is accurate, but also the production rate must be as high as possible. These two requirements, which appear conflicting as first, are met if the milling operation is well planned. While NC programming is still based in many industries on past experience and practical knowledge, research in the areas of cutting mechanics, modelling and simulation are gradually changing the manufacturing practices. This thesis investigates Virtual Milling, which is the integration of milling simulation and CAD/CAM capabilities. Available milling simulation systems can simulate the process for one set of cutting conditions. The objective with Virtual Milling is to not only simulate the milling operation for the whole NC program, but also to integrate features such as feedrate scheduling. A milling simulation for the whole part was developed based on the analytical closed-loop milling model presented by Spence[36]. The input to the simulation is the cutter-workpiece intersections along the tool path. The simulation results include force, torque and power, and deflection along the tool path. The second part of this thesis is the implementation of a Virtual Milling framework. The first step is the selection of cutting conditions which is done during the NC programming. CAD/CAM software do not provide tools to select appropriate cutting conditions, therefore we established the requirements for such a tool using stability lobe theory. An interface was implemented in a commercial CAD/CAM software to demonstrate this. The milling simulation is then used to identify critical locations along the tool path, and it is also used to perform feedrate scheduling. Two offline approaches for feedrate scheduling were implemented, constraint-based feedrate scheduling and off-line adaptive force control, and evaluated to see if their use would lead to improved machining accuracy, better control of cutting forces, and improved machining time. Cutting tests were conducted and these approaches were also compared to an existing online adaptive force control.

description: In this paper the importance of practice of human resource management as of a significant driver of business ethics in companies has been considered. The basic premise of the paper is the fact that the company’s main source of unethical behaviour is situated in its people’s activities which further implies that many measures aimed to apply and improve business ethics belong to the domain of human resource management. Based on research results on a sample of 36 enterprises, the paper attempts to answer important questions as: what are the problems regarding business ethics facing human resource experts and to what extent the existing human resource management practices influence the application and improvement of business ethics in Serbian enterprises.

description: Key Points • Zambia’s maize crop grew by 48% between the 2009 and 2010 harvests, leading to the largest crop recorded in recent history. • Yield growth accounted for 59% of the maize production growth between 2009 and 2010. Expansion of area planted to maize explains an additional 23%, while the remaining 18% can be attributed to a rise in the ratio of harvested to planted land. • Favourable weather conditions contributed 47% of the maize yield growth between 2009 and 2010, whilst, 25% came from increased fertilizer use from both the private and public sectors, and 23% from area expansion. The remaining 5% can be attributed to hybrid seed use and improved management. • Due to favorable weather conditions in both 2008/09 and 2009/10 growing seasons, maize yield response rates to fertilizer application rose from about 3 kg of additional maize for each kg of fertilizer applied in 2006 to nearly 4 kg in 2010. • Though Zambia had a good harvest in 2010, the country remains vulnerable to weather shocks. • The unpredictability of government maize policies continues to generate uncertainty for participants in the marketing system. A decrease in maize production may occur next year due to the marketing problems faced by smallholder especially those caused by FRA’s lateness in paying farmers.
