description: Gravitational-wave searches for the merger of compact binaries use matched-filtering as the method of detecting signals and estimating parameters. Such searches construct a fine mesh of filters covering a signal parameter space at high density. Previously it has been shown that singular value decomposition can reduce the effective number of filters required to search the data. Here we study how the basis provided by the singular value decomposition changes dimension as a function of template bank density. We will demonstrate that it is sufficient to use the basis provided by the singular value decomposition of a low density bank to accurately reconstruct arbitrary points within the boundaries of the template bank. Since this technique is purely numerical it may have applications to interpolating the space of numerical relativity waveforms.

Mimetic Quality: Consumer Quality Conventions and Strategic Mimicry in Food Distribution

description: Quality is a key dimension of markets and competition in advanced capitalist societies. While political economy recognizes the role quality plays for consumers’ purchasing strategies, it is less attentive to quality as a contested field where symbolic struggles and strategic manoeuvring take place. We argue that the quality-based strategies of hybrid organizations in food distribution represent a combination of different worlds of quality and judgment devices. This combination defines a camouflage strategy through which conventional food distribution chains such as high-end supermarkets conquer specific zones of the quality space. We thus maintain that the quality strategies of these organizations are explicitly boundary-spanning. To be successful, hybrid organizations need to cover both new and traditional quality conventions, overcoming divisions among different worlds while maintaining a coherent profile. This effort requires a strategy that is able to leverage situation-specific cultural meanings quite independently from individual-level attributes.

description: African smallholder farmers produce food both for home consumption and commercial purposes, but these farmers are often net food buyers in local markets. To what extent do markets play a role in making food available and accessible throughout the year? This study assessed: (a) the extent of smallholder farmers’ involvement in market trading networks, and (b) the role of markets in access to food at household level. All plant and animal species grown or reared for food were inventoried on 30 smallholder farms in six villages of Mumias District and Vihiga District, Western Kenya. A survey of available food products was conducted in three markets in Mumias and four markets in Vihiga near the surveyed farms. The market was the main source for cereals in both districts, while in Mumias District, fruits and animal source foods were also mainly sourced from markets. Regarding market trading systems, 15% of the 48 food products were sold by the farmers, 10% were sold by small-scale traders, while 75% were sold by large-scale traders. The study shows that local markets are mainly utilized by market traders who bring produce from outside the study areas. To increase incomes to enable access to diversified foods, organized smallholder farmers can be integrated better in the local market system, in two key ways: (a) by tapping into increasing market demand for ‘niche’ products uniquely available through on-farm production, and (b) by value addition of farm produce lost at post-harvest to increase year-round availability of diversified foods.

College Student Literacy of Food Animal Slaughter in the United States
Creators: name: Wrenn, Corey L.
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2018

description: Despite the growing influence of food justice and conscious consumption in Western society, Westerners exhibit limited knowledge of non-human animal oppression in the food system. This study asked students in seven classes of Introduction to Sociology offered in a private New Jersey university to estimate how many non-human animals are killed for food every year in the United States. Although students had been exposed to reading and lecture material covering speciesism and non-human animal oppression in the food system, results demonstrate major variation in student retention and awareness. Most students (66%) severely underestimated the magnitude of killing; the median response was just 65 million while the bottom 10% of responses averaged a guess of 24 667. Exam grade was slightly correlated with student responses, but gender was not. These findings support existing research on consumer ignorance and social psychological theories that predict cognitive barriers to understanding large-scale suffering, alerting educators and policymakers to the difficulties in raising food literacy.

Non-Gravitational Contributions to the Clustering of Ly-alpha Selected Galaxies: Implications for Cosmological Surveys

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We show that the dependence of Ly-alpha absorption on environment leads to significant non-gravitational features in the redshift space power-spectrum of Ly-alpha selected galaxies. We derive a physically motivated fitting formula that can be included in clustering analyses, and use this to discuss the predicted features in the Ly-alpha galaxy power-spectrum based on detailed models in which Ly-alpha absorption is influenced by gas infall and/or by strong galactic outflows. We show that power-spectrum measurements could be used to study the astrophysics of the galaxy-IGM connection, and to measure the properties of outflows from star-forming galaxies. Applying the modified redshift space power-spectrum to a Ly-alpha survey with parameters corresponding to the planned Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), we find that the dependence of observed Ly-alpha flux on velocity gradient and ionising background may compromise the ability of Ly-alpha selected galaxy redshift surveys to constrain cosmology using information from the full power-spectrum. This is because the effects of fluctuating ionizing background and velocity gradients effect the shape of the observed power-spectrum in ways that are similar to the shape of the primordial power-spectrum and redshift space distortions respectively. We use the Alcock-Paczynski test to show that without prior knowledge of the details of Ly-alpha absorption in the IGM, the precision of line-of-sight and transverse distance measurements for HETDEX will be ~1.3-1.7%, decreased by a factor of ~1.5-2 relative to the best case precision of ~0.8% available in a traditional galaxy redshift survey. We specify the precision with which modelling of Ly-alpha radiative transfer must be understood in order for HETDEX to achieve distance measurements that are better than 1%.

description: Wild foods found in and around farms, fallows and forests supplement foods and incomes of rural households and have co-evolved with other wild biodiversity. The present study was carried out using a structured questionnaire during February and March 2013 in two villages of Valappur Nadu in the Kolli Hills, Tamil Nadu, southern India, lying between 900 and 1100 m above mean sea level, covering a total sample of 40 tribal households. The diversity of wild food species across different food groups – greens, fruits, mushrooms, roots, tubers, birds, bats, rats and their seasonal availability and household consumption pattern were recorded. Greens are available predominantly during the rainy season and fruits mostly during the dry season. Women are mostly involved in foraging greens, mushrooms, vegetables, fruits, while men contribute to the food basket through trapping, fishing and hunting, and children are involved in both. Some of the surveyed households reported that they strongly believe that wild foods are nutritious and contribute to overall health and well-being apart from supplementing food security. The article concludes by viewing wild foods through the lens of food security in its four dimensions – access, availability, absorption and stability – and briefly touches upon some sociological aspects related to wild foods.

On the regulation of insect discontinuous gas exchange cycles: the role of hemolymph oxygen and carbon dioxide on ventilatory rhythms in Madagascar hissing cockroaches
Creators: name: Rowe, Tormod T.C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Many evolutionarily distant species of insect display an episodic pattern of breathing termed a discontinuous gas exchange cycle (DGC), defined by bursts of ventilation interspersed with long apnoeic periods. Internal O₂ and CO₂ are not tightly regulated during DGCs as PO₂ and PCO₂ fluctuate significantly. It is as of yet unknown what mechanisms drive the emergence of DGCs, although one hypothesis states that DGCs arise from an unstable ventilatory control system that is unable to quickly respond to fluctuations in internal PO₂ and PCO₂ resulting in alternating cycles of ventilation and apnoea. Essentially, this hypothesis suggests that a temporal lag present between chemoreception of CO₂ and a ventilatory response results in CO₂ levels oscillating around a ventilatory CO₂ threshold as ventilation is turned on and off. This hypothesis is tested in this thesis by implanting PO₂ and PCO₂ optodes into the hemocoel of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, to measure hemolymph PO₂ and PCO₂ fluctuations in vivo during periods of continuous and discontinuous ventilation. Additionally, rates of CO₂ release were measured using a flow-through respirometry setup, and ventilatory frequency was measured using an infrared phototransistor. The stable hemolymph PCO₂’s measured during continuous ventilation were assumed to represent the CO₂ threshold stimulating gas exchange, and these levels were compared with the CO₂ fluctuations during DGCs elicited in decapitated cockroaches. Cockroaches were also exposed to hypoxia (low O₂) and hypercapnia (high CO₂) in order to artificially manipulate hemolymph PO₂ and PCO₂. Decapitated Madagascar hissing cockroaches were observed maintaining DGCs with internal O₂ and CO₂ levels outside of the assumed threshold values. Results suggest that the DGCs displayed by Madagascar hissing cockroaches are not the result of PO₂ and PCO₂ oscillating around fixed ventilatory thresholds. However, it was observed that patterns of DGCs, such as ventilatory burst duration, interburst duration, and ventilation pattern were altered by exposure to hypoxia and hypercapnia.
Identification of a mechanism of resistance and sub-classification of patients for treatment-decision making in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
Creators: name: D'Costa, Ninadh Malrina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a disease with aberrant angiogenic and immunosuppressive features. Metastatic ccRCC patients are treated with targeted therapies based on clinical features: favorable-risk patients with a combination of anti-angiogenic and immunogenic drugs, and intermediate/high-risk patients with immunotherapies. In this doctoral research project, I hypothesized that targeted treatment against factor(s) augmented through drug-resistance development could revert to responding to therapy. I further theorized that ccRCC patients could be sub-classified into treatment groups that might guide therapy decision-making in a personalized manner. Patients treated with anti-angiogenic drugs, e.g. sunitinib, eventually develop resistance and the underlying molecular mechanism is unknown. In Objective 1, I found that an evolutionarily conserved protein, Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1), and its downstream target, ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 1 (ABCB-1), were upregulated in acquired sunitinib-resistant in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo and patient samples when compared to sensitive samples. Moreover, co-administration of ABCB-1 inhibitor, elacridar, reverted the sunitinib-resistance in mccRCC tumors. Further anomalies in the expression pattern of ccRCC tumors were explored in Objective 2 and a novel gene signature to sub-classify ccRCC patients was identified. I analyzed the expression profile of 469 ccRCC patients and developed a refined 66-gene signature for improved sub-classification of patients (Angiogenic, Unknown, T-effector). In my 66-gene signature, I identified a novel comprehensive expression profile to distinguish migratory stromal from immune cells. Moreover, “Angiogenic” tumors with higher expression of endothelin-1 (EDN1), endothelin receptor A (EDNRA) and endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) had decreased levels of immune cell gene expression. Previous research showed that EDNRB modulates T-cell infiltration into solid tumors. Augmenting prior research, under Objective 2, the “cross-talk” between tumor vasculature and immune microenvironment (TIME) was explored. Altogether, my thesis identified one possible mechanism of acquired sunitinib-resistance development and potential therapy in mccRCC tumors. The thesis also established that ccRCC tumors have different expression patterns that could be sub-classified into distinct groups. The proposed sub-classification might guide treatment decision-making and, potentially, enable the use of personalized medicine in ccRCC patients increasing treatment response and survival.

Agricultural Knowledge Networks in Northern Ghana

Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2018

description: Farmers, researchers and extension officers in Northern Ghana encounter productivity problems, such as striga, acidity, hardpan and bochaa (a Dagbani word denoting low productivity). We undertook a mainly qualitative study using interviews, focus groups and a workshop to investigate, from a science and technology studies perspective, the intersections between their different ways of understanding these problems. Different actors construct definitions of what productivity problems are during the performance of their occupations, for example through peer association and application of available solutions. Actors with different occupations thus disagree over what productivity problems are, with farmers defining them by their symptoms and researchers by the physical, biological and chemical mechanisms through which they act. Extension services have not trained officers to reconcile these identity-linked understandings, which has hitherto prevented hybrid knowledge about such problems from emerging. Yet actors agree on the utility of certain management practices, such as manuring. These have the potential to act as boundary objects, pointing to the possibility of a composite knowledge network within which different actors retain their occupational identities and discrete knowledges, yet share common solutions. Extension agents and researchers would benefit from training on the use of boundary objects as communication tools.

Milpa: One Sister Got Climate-sick. The Impact of Climate Change on Traditional Maya Farming Systems

description: The milpa is a traditional Mesoamerican polycropping system involving rain-fed cropping of maize (Zea mays), squash (Cucurbita moschata) and legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris, Phaseolus lunatus, Vigna unguiculata), crops which in this part of the world are known as the three sisters. Despite alterations due to socio-economic changes during the twentieth century, milpafarming still characterizes subsistence production systems of peasants of Maya ethnicity in the central Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. In Dziuché, a community in the state of Quintana Roo, more ‘classical’ interpretations of the milpa, commonly cultivated by the older generation of peasants, are competing with systems that are essentially hybrids of the milpa and conventional maize farming; however, management and output of both variants are affected recently by changing precipitation patterns associated with global climate change. In the present study, implemented in Dziuché in 2012–2014, we recorded and analysed recent changes in milpa production systems. Particularly, we compared the milpas of two peasants from different generations – one is 30 years old and the other 56 years old. Through a triangulation of participatory and qualitative methodologies, including dialogue between interlocutors, focus groups, and participatory elaboration of an agricultural calendar, we recorded their perceptions of the impacts of climate change on crop management, yield and agrobiodiversity. This information was enriched with economic data related to these production systems. The data was then validated with the entire peasant assembly of Dziuché. It was observed that, regardless of their age, traditional farmers responded to the late arrival or non-arrival of the early summer rainy season by shifting their maize planting dates and by reducing agrobiodiversity, mainly by eliminating beans. The results contribute to the current discussion around the impacts of climate change on traditional production systems. It was shown that despite resilience mechanisms inherent to peasant farming, the magnitude of climate change is challenging farmers to an extent that they respond with objectively counterproductive measures, such as decreasing agrobiodiversity. It must be added that in the case of Maya peasants, these reactions are not only caused by altering climatic conditions but also by socio-economic developments like the loss of empirical knowledge transfer, a decreasing number of family members available for unpaid agricultural work, and changes in land tenure.

description: Recently established organic regions aim to be model regions of sustainability. In the frame of this article we understand organic regions as territories that aim at the sustainable management of local resources, based on the principles of organic farming and agroecology. The contribution focuses especially on the role and configurations of values-based supply chains for the territorial development of such organic regions. Three different case studies, in Italy, France and Austria, are investigated. Principles of organic farming, according to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement and the concept of neo-endogenous development by Christopher Ray, serve as framework for analyses. Finally, we include values-based supply chains into the model of neo-endogenous development for two reasons: first to link values on a territorial level, and second as a tool to permanently apply those values within a region.

description: Context. Based on the far infrared excess the Herbig class of stars is divided into a group with flaring circumstellar disks (group I) and a group with flat circumstellar disks (group II). Dust sedimentation is generally proposed as an evolution mechanism to transform flaring disks into flat disks. Theory predicts that during this process the disks preserve their gas content, however observations of group II Herbig Ae stars demonstrate a lack of gas. Aims. We map the spatial distribution of the gas and dust around the group II Herbig Ae star HD 95881. Methods. We analyze optical photometry, Q-band imaging, infrared spectroscopy, and K and N-band interferometric spectroscopy. We use a Monte Carlo radiative transfer code to create a model for the density and temperature structure which quite accurately reproduces all the observables. Results. We derive a consistent picture in which the disk consists of a thick puffed up inner rim and an outer region which has a flaring gas surface and is relatively void of 'visible' dust grains. Conclusions. HD 95881 is in a transition phase from a gas rich flaring disk to a gas poor self-shadowed disk.

description: In this paper we investigate the evolution of the IPv4 and IPv6 Internet topologies at the autonomous system (AS) level over a long period of time.We provide abundant empirical evidence that there is a phase transition in the growth trend of the two networks. For the IPv4 network, the phase change occurred in 2001. Before then the network's size grew exponentially, and thereafter it followed a linear growth. Changes are also observed around the same time for the maximum node degree, the average node degree and the average shortest path length. For the IPv6 network, the phase change occurred in late 2006. It is notable that the observed phase transitions in the two networks are different, for example the size of IPv6 network initially grew linearly and then shifted to an exponential growth. Our results show that following decades of rapid expansion up to the beginning of this century, the IPv4 network has now evolved into a mature, steady stage characterised by a relatively slow growth with a stable network structure; whereas the IPv6 network, after a slow startup process, has just taken off to a full speed growth. We also provide insight into the possible impact of IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling deployment scheme on the evolution of the IPv6 network. The Internet topology generators so far are based on an inexplicit assumption that the evolution of Internet follows non-changing dynamic mechanisms. This assumption, however, is invalidated by our results.Our work reveals insights into the Internet evolution and provides inputs to future AS-Level Internet models.

description: Food distribution systems referred to as box schemes have gained a foothold in organic markets across Europe and North America. This model has the potential to scale up direct-marketing strategies by aggregating products from multiple producers and efficiently assembling and delivering them on a regular basis to large networks of consumers. Box scheme organizers generally seek to attract regular customers based on the distinctive attributes and values associated with their products and their unique business model that attempts to build long-term relationships between consumers and farmers. This article explores the organizational dynamics of five large, multi-farm box schemes in relation to their stated values and organizational strategies using cases from Sweden, Denmark, Austria, and the United States. ? Different aspects of ecological and social embeddedness are considered and analysed for the five cases based on their stated values and their organizational strategies, including to what degree non-economic values are identified, communicated, and applied throughout the supply chain. The value of geographical proximity is examined with respect to the tension created by consumer demand for variety throughout the seasons and the spatial organization of sourcing and distribution that such a system entails. Additionally, the organizational challenges encountered by box schemes during periods of rapid growth are compared and contrasted with respect to the different organizational strategies employed across the five cases. This article seeks to contribute to the research literature by analysing box schemes as an institutional innovation that can potentially bridge the interests shared by producers and consumers in harnessing market relationships to accomplish larger social and environmental goals.

description: We present mid-infrared spectra and photometry from the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope for 51 OH megamasers (OHMs), along with 15 galaxies confirmed to have no megamaser emission above L_OH = 10^2.3 L_sun. The majority of galaxies display moderate-to-deep 9.7 um amorphous silicate absorption, with OHM galaxies showing stronger average absorption and steeper 20-30 um continuum emission than non-masing galaxies. Emission from multiple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), especially at 6.2, 7.7, and 11.3 um, is detected in almost all systems. Fine-structure atomic emission (including [Ne II], [Ne III], [S III], and [S IV]) and multiple H2 rotational transitions are observed in more than 90% of the sample. A subset of galaxies show emission from rarer atomic lines, such as [Ne V], [O IV], and [Fe II]. 50% of the OHMs show absorption from water ice and hydrogenated amorphous carbon grains (HACs), while absorption features from CO2, HCN, C2H2, and crystalline silicates are also seen in several OHMs. Column densities of OH derived from 34.6 um OH absorption are similar to those derived from 1667 MHz OH absorption in non-masing galaxies, indicating that the abundance of masing molecules is similar for both samples. This data paper presents full mid-infrared spectra for each galaxy, along with measurements of line fluxes and equivalent widths, absorption feature depths, and spectral indices.

Values in Motion: The Local Organic Food Co-ops Network in Ontario, Canada

Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2018

description: Values-based food chains (VBFCs) are gaining recognition as people seek alternatives to the unsustainable environmental and social outcomes of the corporate food system. One example of a VBFC can be found in the Local Organic Food Co-ops (LOFC) Network, a coalition of cooperatives that specialize in locally and sustainably produced food in Ontario, Canada. In just a few years, the LOFC Network has built a values-based food chain comprised of producer co-ops, worker co-ops, consumer co-ops and multi-stakeholder co-ops. As a VBFC, it combines three complementary sets of values: local, organic and cooperative. Together, they form a tripartite values matrix that clearly differentiates the LOFC Network from conventional food chains, and models an alternative approach to food production, distribution and consumption. This article will present the findings of a pilot study of the LOFC Network and argue that this type of VBFC can contribute to a more sustainable food system.

Can Values-based Food Chains Advance Local and Sustainable Food Systems? Evidence from Case Studies of University Procurement in Canada and the UK
Creators: name: Stahlbrand, Lori
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2018

description: This article asks whether the concept of values-based food chains (VBFC) can help explain and advance processes fostering sustainability transitions in the food system of the Global North. The VBFC concept is contested in the context of the author’s research into Canadian and UK university food procurement experiences designed to promote purchases of local and sustainable foods. Notwithstanding important contributions to the role of values as motivators in emerging food movements, the author argues that the formulations and conceptualizations around VBFCs are problematic because they focus too heavily on market-based differentiation as a driver of the sustainability agenda, and because they underestimate the role of oligopolistic businesses in the shaping of food supply chains. The article posits that public sector institutions have a central role to play in developing sustainable local food systems. I have coined the term ‘infrastructure of the middle’ as an alternate conceptualization, which highlights public goods and goals, and features the role of the public sector and civil society organizations, as well as farmers and other private sector enterprises.

From ‘Additive’ to ‘Multiplicative’ Patterns of Growth
Creators: name: Schermer, Markus
Publisher: name: The International Journal of Sociology of Agriculture and Food
Year: 2018

description: Growth processes are uniquely problematic for small-scale farms due to their impacts on a delicate balance of basic internal resources. Most of these resources, such as permanent labour, machinery, structures, and livestock cannot be increased incrementally in linear processes. Additionally, farms with the lowest levels of production have the most problematic task of resource realignment. Due to higher transaction costs and inconsistent quality, market partners are not eager to meet increased demand by increasing the number of suppliers. Instead, these partners ask current suppliers, such as small-scale farmers, to increase the volume of production or they threaten to replace them with larger producers. Thus, small-scale farmers often feel growth is forced upon them. However, there are examples where supply chain actors actively engage to preserve small-scale structures by developing a distinct growth strategy based on increasing the output of an entire network rather than placing the onus on single suppliers. Such novel growth accommodations may contribute to a future food system increasingly sustainable in economic, social, as well as environmental dimensions. This article uses the case of the cooperative Bioalpin, located in Tyrol, Austria, to examine how such regional networks may be constructed successfully. Bioalpin sells a full range of organically grown mountain products under their own brand, mainly via a family-owned regional supermarket chain. Bioalpin has grown substantially while concurrently supporting small-scale regional production and processing structures. We use the theoretical concept of netchain analysis to explore the organizational structure and the mechanisms of horizontal and vertical coordination in this values-based supply chain. The results of our analysis may shed light on the obstacles or complications associated with a focus on network growth, versus the growth of individual units.

Diffraction-limited Subaru imaging of M82: sharp mid-infrared view of the starburst core

description: We present new imaging at 12.81 and 11.7 microns of the central ~40"x30" (~0.7x0.5 kpc) of the starburst galaxy M82. The observations were carried out with the COMICS mid-infrared (mid-IR) imager on the 8.2m Subaru telescope, and are diffraction-limited at an angular resolution of <0".4. The images show extensive diffuse structures, including a 7"-long linear chimney-like feature and another resembling the edges of a ruptured bubble. This is the clearest view to date of the base of the kpc-scale dusty wind known in this galaxy. These structures do not extrapolate to a single central point, implying multiple ejection sites for the dust. In general, the distribution of dust probed in the mid-IR anticorrelates with the locations of massive star clusters that appear in the near-infrared. The 10-21 micron mid-IR emission, spatially-integrated over the field of view, may be represented by hot dust with temperature of ~160 K. Most discrete sources are found to have extended morphologies. Several radio HII regions are identified for the first time in the mid-IR. The only potential radio supernova remnant to have a mid-IR counterpart is a source which has previously also been suggested to be a weak active galactic nucleus. This source has an X-ray counterpart in Chandra data which appears prominently above 3 keV and is best described as a hot (~2.6 keV) absorbed thermal plasma with a 6.7 keV Fe K emission line, in addition to a weaker and cooler thermal component. The mid-IR detection is consistent with the presence of strong [NeII]12.81um line emission. The broad-band source properties are complex, but the X-ray spectra do not support the active galactic nucleus hypothesis. We discuss possible interpretations regarding the nature of this source.
