description: The objective of this paper is to measure productive efficiency of irrigation water efficiency based on the concept of technical efficiency and compared among different sizes farms. The proposed methodology is applied to a randomly selected sample of 144 citrus growing farms located in Nabeul (Tunisia) and differentiated by size (small, medium and large farms). A stochastic production frontier approach, based on Battese and Coelli’s (1995) inefficiency effect model, is used to obtain farm-specific estimates of technical and irrigation water efficiency. The last step of the analysis consists on the identification of the factors influencing irrigation water efficiency differentials across citrus growing farms on the basis on a second-stage regression approach. Empirical results show that estimated mean technical efficiency ranges from a minimum of 12.82% to a maximum of 90.69% with an average estimate of 67.73%. This result means that 32.3% increase in production is possible with the present state of technology and unchanged input uses, if technical inefficiency is completely removed. Thus, improving technical efficiency will result to significant increases in framer’s revenue and profit. On the other hand, mean irrigation water efficiency is found to be 53%, which is much lower than technical efficiency and also exhibits greater variability ranging from 1.6% to 98.87%. The estimated mean irrigation water efficiency implies that the observed quantity of marketable citrus could have been maintained by using the observed values of other inputs while using 47.0% less of irrigation water. This means that farmer’s can achieve significant savings in water use by improving the utilisation of irrigation system and by utilizing more advanced irrigation technologies.

description: We investigated the concordance between the histopathological and immunohistochemical results of core needle biopsy (CNB) and surgical specimens in order to evaluate the reliability of the CNB in the diagnosis and management of breast carcinoma. We studied breast carcinomas collected retrospectively between 2015 and 2017. Immunohistochemical staining for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2) and Ki-67 was conducted on archived tissue. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of CNB compared with surgical specimens. The kappa test (κ) was used for concordance analysis. A total of 81 cases were selected. The concordance of histological diagnosis between CNB and surgical specimens was 98.8% (κ = 0.903). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of the diagnosis of invasive carcinoma of no special type were 100%, 83.3%, 98.7%, and 100%, respectively. ER expression displayed a total concordance (κ = 1). For PR expression, sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 100%, 87%, 95.1%, and 100%, respectively, with a concordance of 96.3% (κ = 0.905). The concordance of the HER2 status was 87.6% as there were 10 discordant findings (κ = 0.722). The concordance of the Ki-67 index was only 55.6% (κ = 0.193). The overall concordance of molecular subtypes was only 58% (κ = 0.424). In conclusion, CNB is reliable in determining histological subtypes, hormone receptor expression, and HER2 status. However, its reliability is limited in for evaluating Ki-67 index and the subsequent diagnosis of molecular subtypes.

description: Upon stimulation, plants elicit electrical signals that can travel within a cellular network analogous to the animal nervous system. It is well-known that in the human brain, voltage changes in certain regions result from concerted electrical activity which, in the form of action potentials (APs), travels within nerve-cell arrays. Electrophysiological techniques like electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography, and magnetic resonance imaging are used to record this activity and to diagnose disorders. In the plant kingdom, two types of electrical signals are observed: all-or-nothing APs of similar amplitudes to those seen in humans and animals, and slow-wave potentials of smaller amplitudes. Sharp APs appear restricted to unique plant species like the "sensitive plant", Mimosa pudica, and the carnivorous Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula. Here we ask the question, is electrical activity in the Venus flytrap accompanied by distinct magnetic signals? Using atomic optically pumped magnetometers, biomagnetism in AP-firing traps of the carnivorous plant was recorded. APs were induced by heat stimulation, and the thermal properties of ion channels underlying the AP were studied. The measured magnetic signals exhibit similar temporal behavior and shape to the fast de- and repolarization AP phases. Our findings pave the way to understanding the molecular basis of biomagnetism, which might be used to improve magnetometer-based noninvasive diagnostics of plant stress and disease.

description: Genus Eoadalia Iablokoff-Khnzorian
Eoadalia Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1976: 253.
Type species: Adalia koltzei Weise, 1887, by original designation.
Diagnosis. In the key given by Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1979), it is distinguished from other Coccinellini by its “elongate oval and narrow form, presence of tibial spurs and female genitalia with infundibulum long and tubular with a basal ring, spermatheca as in Adalia ”. A proper diagnostic account of this genus is not given because of the paucity of material for detailed study and a generic definition is not given by any other workers except Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1979; 1982).
Distribution. Palaearctic.
Included species. Only Eoadalia juliae (Mulsant, 1866) is present in India and this species is of uncertain generic status.
Notes: The name Eoadalia was first mentioned as a new genus by Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1976) and later he included it in his key to the genera of Palaearctic Coccinellini (Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1979) and mentioned Adalia koltzei (Weise 1887) as its type. He formally erected Eoadalia as a new genus again and designated A. koltzei as its type in his revision of Coccinellini (Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1982). Besides the type species, two Indian species, Eoadalia indica (Crotch, 1874) and E. juliae (Mulsant, 1866) were initially included in this genus. Of these, E. indica was listed as a synonym of O. billieti by Poorani (2002). Tomaszewska et al. (2021) included Eoadalia under the Synonycha- group of genera and this genus was not included in their molecular analysis.

description: L’approximation linéaire du modèle Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) est utilisée pour estimer la demande du riz (riz local et riz importé) au Togo de 1986 à 2006. Un modèle à correction d’erreur (MCE) a été développé pour tenir compte des relations de court terme entre les variables. Les paramètres de court et de long terme ont été estimés par les MCO. Dans cette étude, le riz local et le riz importé sont supposés être faiblement séparables des autres biens. Cette hypothèse excluant les relations avérées entre le riz importé et le riz local d’une part et entre ces produits, et les autres produits alimentaires d’autre part ; a conduit à estimer la demande du riz au Togo au deuxième stade d’un processus de maximisation de l’utilité. Les paramètres de court terme et de long terme obtenu, ont donc servi à calculer les élasticités conditionnelles marshalliennes de la demande du riz au Togo. The linear approximation of the model Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) is used to estimate rice demand (local rice and imported rice) in the Togo between 1986 and 2006. An error correction model (ECM) was developed to capture the short terms relationships between the variables. The parameters of short and long run were estimated by the MCO. In this study, local rice and imported rice are supposed to be weakly separable from other goods. This assumption, excluding the relations proven between imported rice and local rice on the one hand and between these products, and the other food products on the other hand; resulted in estimating the demand of rice in Togo at the second stage of utility maximization process. The short and long run parameters obtained, were then used to calculate conditional Marshallian demand elasticises of rice in Togo.

Et aussi l’une des plus vastes agglomérations fortifiées – ces fameux « oppida » dont parle Jules César dans La Guerre des Gaules sans toutefois les décrire – qui virent le jour en Europe à l’extrême fin de l’âge du Fer. Fondée à la fin du IIe siècle avant notre ère  abandonnée un siècle plus tard au profit de la ville romaine d’Autun  Bibracte n’avait guère laissé de souvenirs jusqu’à ce que Jacques-Gabriel Bulliot identifie le site dans les années 1850 et que des fouilles soient engagées en 1864. Mais l’intérêt pour l’oppidum ne survivra pas à la Grande Guerre. Il faudra attendre 1984 et la réouverture des fouilles sous l’impulsion de François Mitterrand et d’une poignée d’archéologues pour qu’elle soit de nouveau étudiée. Trente ans plus tard  Bibracte est un établissement scientifique et culturel unique en Europe composé d’un site archéologique de référence  d’un centre européen de recherche sur la protohistoire et d’un musée. Bibracte propose des numérisations 3D de mobiliers  de structures et de terrains provenant du site archéologique du mont Beuvray. Ces numérisations couvrent diverses périodes  allant de l’oppidum gaulois aux occupations plus récentes  comme le couvent des Cordeliers. Ce dernier  installé au XIVe siècle dans le quartier de la Pâture du Couvent  a été fréquenté par des Franciscains jusqu’à la fin du XVIIe siècle. Les partenaires scientifiques de l’établissement sont impliqués à toutes les étapes de la production  de l’utilisation et de la diffusion de ces numérisations 3D qui se déclinent en trois collections distinctes – Objets  Morphométrie  Terrain –  visant à soutenir la recherche archéologique et à enrichir l expérience des visiteurs sur le site et au musée.

description: The paper uses the case of Flemish investment support to make a quantitative analysis of pillar II support based on micro-economic data from the FADN and the administrative dataset of the investment support fund. A dynamic panel estimation quantifies the effect of support for settingup young farmers, structural investment support and support for investments on farm diversification, animal welfare or environmental investments.. The results show that investment support for farm diversification and structural support increase the total output and the income. Environmental investment support increase costs and decrease the farm income without a significant impact on output. The conclusion for the national debate is that the structural and the diversification investment support is effective while the environmental investment support is too low to cover all additional costs in the short run. The conclusion for the international debate is that, except for the structural investment support, the Flemish investment support is not distortive for international agricultural markets.

description: We report measurements of the magnetic penetration depth $λ$ in single crystals of Pr(Os$_{1-x}$Ru$_{x}$)$_{4}$Sb$_{12}$ down to 0.1 K. Both $λ$ and superfluid density $ρ_{s}$ exhibit an exponential behavior for the $x$$\geq$0.4 samples, going from weak ($x$=0.4,0.6), to moderate, coupling ($x$=0.8). For the $x$$\leq$0.2 samples, both $λ$ and $ρ_{s}$ vary as $T^{2}$ at low temperatures, but $ρ_{s}$ is s-wave-like at intermediate to high temperatures. Our data are consistent with a three-phase scenario, where a fully-gapped phase at $T_{c1}$ undergoes two transitions: first to an unconventional phase at $T_{c2}$$\lesssim$$T_{c1}$, then to a nodal low-$T$ phase at $T_{c3}$$

description: We reviewed some moral hazard (MH) models applied to agri-environmental policies and identified the main methodological aspects of the literature on this topics. Imperfect vs incomplete monitoring , static vs dynamic and single vs multiple agents models are the main lines along which the literature has been organised analysing each component of a MH model. Most papers point out the role of farmers' risk aversion in mitigating MH. Others highlight that the observed high rate of compliance is still somewhat paradoxical given current enforcement strategies with low fines and monitoring levels. Cross compliance confirm these findings and urges further studies on dynamic models and farmers' non profit maximising behaviour.
Mu-Tau Reflection Symmetry in the Standard Parametrization and Contributions from Charged Lepton Sector

description: The $μ-τ$ reflection symmetry of the lepton mixing matrix accommodates maximal atmospheric mixing ($θ_{23}=π/4$) as well as maximal Dirac CP phase ($δ=\pm π/2$) for the Dirac case. In the standard parametrization of the PMNS matrix the reflection symmetric nature is not directly visible while substituting the maximal values of the mixing parameters. This issue has been addressed in this paper. It is found that the reflection symmetry in the 'standard' PMNS matrix can be restored by allowing maximal values of the Majorana CP phases ($α$, $β$) as well, along with maximal $δ$. To accommodate non-maximal values of $θ_{23}$ and $δ$ we consider charged lepton contributions to the neutrino mixing and implement the proposed scheme of reflection symmetry in the neutrino mixing matrix. The charged lepton correction scheme succeeds in the prediction of lepton mixing parameters consistent with the global $3ν$ oscillation data.

description: The description of a point mass in general relativity (GR) is given in the framework of the field formulation of GR where all the dynamical fields, including the gravitational field, are considered in a fixed background spacetime. With the use of stationary (not static) coordinates non-singular at the horizon, the Schwarzschild solution is presented as a point-like field configuration in a whole background Minkowski space. The requirement of a stable $η$-causality stated recently in [J.B.Pitts and W.C.Schieve, Found. Phys., v. 34, 211 (2004)] is used essentially as a criterion for testing configurations.

description: While traditional systems for Open Information Extraction were statistical and rule-based, recently neural models have been introduced for the task. Our work builds upon CopyAttention, a sequence generation OpenIE model (Cui et. al., 2018). Our analysis reveals that CopyAttention produces a constant number of extractions per sentence, and its extracted tuples often express redundant information. We present IMoJIE, an extension to CopyAttention, which produces the next extraction conditioned on all previously extracted tuples. This approach overcomes both shortcomings of CopyAttention, resulting in a variable number of diverse extractions per sentence. We train IMoJIE on training data bootstrapped from extractions of several non-neural systems, which have been automatically filtered to reduce redundancy and noise. IMoJIE outperforms CopyAttention by about 18 F1 pts, and a BERT-based strong baseline by 2 F1 pts, establishing a new state of the art for the task.

description: The purpose of this paper is to assess the impacts of further trade liberalisation on the agricultural sector in Ireland. In addition to evaluating the aggregate impacts on agricultural production as well as the spill-over effect of this on the non-agricultural sector and for overall Irish GDP, we evaluate the effects for different types of households. In order to capture economy-wide impacts of the policy reform, a CGE model was formulated and implemented using a social accounting matrix constructed for Ireland for the year 2005. Household effects are captured using representative households. The simulation results suggest a positive impact on the Irish economy as well as on the representative households. Many agricultural sectors contract in the process but a more efficient reallocation of resources into manufacturing and services sectors more than compensates those losses.

description: Perturbative expansions of QCD observables in powers of $α_s$ are believed to be asymptotic and non-Borel summable due to the existence of singularities in the Borel plane (renormalons). This fact is connected with the factorization of scales (which is inherent to QCD and asymptotic freedom) and jeopardizes the convergence of the perturbative expansion and the accurate determination of power-suppressed corrections. This problem is more acute for physical systems composed by one or more heavy quarks. In lattice regulations, it reflects on the appearance of power-like divergences in the inverse of the lattice spacing for a series of quantities ($\bar Λ$, gluelump masses, the singlet and hybrid potentials, ...) making that the continuum limit can not be reached for them. Nevertheless, all these problems are solved within the framework of effective field theories with renormalon substraction. This allows us to obtain convergent perturbative series and to unambiguously define power corrections. In particular, one can connect with lattice results. Remarkably enough the dependence on the lattice spacing can be predicted by perturbation theory. This framework has been applied to the prediction of the gluelump masses and the singlet and octet (hybrid) potentials at short distances, as well as to their comparison with lattice simulations. Overall, very good agreement with data is obtained.

Chewing the cud, and chewing it differently : contextual and individual differences in reactive rumination and negative affect
Creators: name: Puterman, Eli
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The present study explores the relationships between reactive ruminative style, daily reactive rumination, and daily negative affect, both within the same day, and across days. Further, the extent to which perceived social support moderates the effect of a reactive ruminative style on daily reactive rumination was explored. One hundred and seventy-six individuals were interviewed and completed a structured diary twice daily for one week. The results of hierarchical linear modeling suggested that reactive ruminative style and daily reactive rumination interacted to predict fluctuations of daily negative affect within the same day. Next day fluctuations in negative affect were predicted by a reactive ruminative style. Furthermore, results indicated that perceived social support interacted with a reactive ruminative style to predict both same day and next day daily reactive rumination. Relevance to both reactive rumination theory and the stress and coping literatures are discussed.

description: For practical considerations, it is in some case impossible to simulate MAS models at population level. The current paper shows that MAS models applied to samples with heterogeneous costs of interactions between agents have biased results. Heterogeneous costs of interactions in MAS models can come from the spatial dimension in MAS models or from fixed costs per interaction. The paper presents two correction procedures to remove the sampling bias and to increase the reliability of the outcome. The correction procedures can be very promising for future applications of MAS models because it becomes possible to deploy more complex models without bias on more detailed datasets that are only available at sample level, which will be the case for country- or EU-wide MAS applications.

description: In recent times, deep artificial neural networks have achieved many successes in pattern recognition. Part of this success can be attributed to the reliance on big data to increase generalization. However, in the field of time series recognition, many datasets are often very small. One method of addressing this problem is through the use of data augmentation. In this paper, we survey data augmentation techniques for time series and their application to time series classification with neural networks. We propose a taxonomy and outline the four families in time series data augmentation, including transformation-based methods, pattern mixing, generative models, and decomposition methods. Furthermore, we empirically evaluate 12 time series data augmentation methods on 128 time series classification datasets with six different types of neural networks. Through the results, we are able to analyze the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and recommendations of each data augmentation method. This survey aims to help in the selection of time series data augmentation for neural network applications.

description: This study examines the effects of regular spiritual practices—meditation and prayer—on cognitive functions such as concentration, clarity of thought, and perceived cognitive benefits. Using a quantitative approach, 101 participants aged 18-30 were divided into three groups: regular meditators, regular prayer practitioners, and a control group with no spiritual practice. Results show that both meditation and prayer significantly improve concentration and clarity of thought, with meditation yielding stronger effects. A strong positive correlation was found between the duration of spiritual practice and cognitive benefits, indicating that long-term practitioners experience greater improvements. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature on the neurocognitive impacts of spiritual practices and suggest practical applications for enhancing cognitive performance in educational and therapeutic settings. However, the study also highlights limitations, including the reliance on self-reported data and the need for more diverse samples in future research.

The TG is a two-dimensional map showing essential orbital information regarding the Keplerian orbits resulting from the close passage by one or more massive bodies, given the magnitude of the hyperbolic excess speed ($v_{\infty}$) and the minimum allowed pericenter height for each passage. Contours of constant $v_{\infty}$ populate the TG. Intersections between contours allow to link consecutive flybys and build sequences of encounters en route to a selected destination. When the number of perturbing bodies is large and many $v_{\infty}$ levels are considered, the identification of all the possible sequences of encounters through the visual inspection of the TG becomes a laborious task. Besides, if the sequences are used as input for a numerical code for trajectory design and optimization, an automated examination of the TG is desirable. This contribution describes an automatic technique to explore the TG and find all the encounter paths. The technique is based on a tree search method, and the intersections between contours are found using the regula-falsi scheme. The method is validated through comparisons with solutions available in the open literature. Examples are given of application to interplanetary mission scenarios, including the coupling with a trajectory optimizer.

description: The determination of a quantum observable from the first and second moments of its measurement outcome statistics is investigated. Operational conditions for the moments of a probability measure are given which suffice to determine the probability measure. Differential operators are shown to lead to physically relevant cases where the expectation values of large classes of noncommuting observables do not distinguish superpositions of states and, in particular, where the full moment information does not determine the probability measure.

description: The entanglement-sharing properties of an infinite spin-chain are studied when the state of the chain is a pure, translation-invariant state with a matrix-product structure. We study the entanglement properties of such states by means of their finitely correlated structure. These states are recursively constructed by means of an auxiliary density matrix ρon a matrix algebra B and a completely positive map E: A \otimes B -> B, where A is the spin 2\times 2 matrix algebra. General structural results for the infinite chain are therefore obtained by explicit calculations in (finite) matrix algebras. In particular, we study not only the entanglement shared by nearest-neighbours, but also, differently from previous works, the entanglement shared between connected regions of the spin-chain. This range of possible applications is illustrated and the maximal concurrence C=1/\sqrt{2} for the entanglement of connected regions can actually be reached.

description: Genus Halyzia Mulsant
(Fig. 76)
Halyzia Mulsant, 1846: 141, 148.
Type species: Coccinella sedecimguttata Linnaeus, 1758: 367, by subsequent designation of Crotch 1874: 131.
Diagnosis. Medium to large sized beetles, coloration usually dull orange to straw yellow with other patterns or spots. Form broadly oval, moderately convex. Clypeal margin of head without distinct lateral projections. Mandibles apically multidentate, with a series of small serrations on apical ventral tooth, rarely bifid. Antenna (Fig. 76a) very long, loosely segmented, with 11 antennomeres, antennomeres 9–11 forming a loose club. Terminal maxillary palpomere (Fig. 76b) securiform, narrow basally, apical one-third widest. Terminal labial palpomere not as stout as preceding one. Anterior margin of pronotum barely emarginate, covering most of head at rest. Lateral margins of pronotum and elytra explanate. Prosternal carinae absent. Abdominal postcoxal line (Fig. 76c) usually very short, incomplete.
Affinities. Tomaszewska et al. (2021) included it under the Synonycha -group of genera and found all the genera of the former tribe Halyziini including Psyllobora, Oxytella, Illeis, Vibidia, Macroilleis, and Halyzia were grouped together and formed a major branch. The tribe Halyziini is now part of the composite Coccinellini as defined by Tomaszewska et al. (2021).
Included species. Six species are known from the Indian region of which H. feae Gorham 1895 (Type locality: Burma) is poorly known and Gorham’s description is indicative of an Illeis sp.

Do the low PN velocity dispersions around elliptical galaxies imply that these lack dark matter?

description: While kinematical modelling of the low PN velocity dispersions observed in the outer regions of elliptical galaxies suggest a lack of dark matter around these galaxies, we report on an analysis of a suite of $N$-body simulations (with gas) of major mergers of spiral galaxies embedded in dark matter halos, and find that the outer velocity dispersions are as low as observed for the PNe. The inconsistency between our dynamical modelling and previous kinematical modelling is caused by very radial stellar orbits and projection effects when viewing face-on oblate ellipticals. Our simulations (weakly) suggest the youth of PNe around ellipticals, and we propose that the universality of the PN luminosity function may be explained if the bright PNe in ellipticals are formed after the regular accretion of very low mass gas-rich galaxies.

Citizenshift : investigating an organization that seeks to empower its membership through the provision of services
Creators: name: Smith, Brian Wade
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The rationale for pursuing this research and writing this thesis was to explore the possibilities for organizations that provide services to people with disabilities. Moreover, this thesis looks to inform a shift from a 'needs-based' or 'care-taking' model of service provision, to an empowering 'relationship-based' model. Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network (PLAN) is studied as a case of an organization in the process of making this shift. From PLAN'S experience we learn that an empowerment modehrests on, what its leaders might call, a "Syllogism of Citizenship". This syllogism holds that 'If, relationship equals contribution; and, contribution equals citizenship; then, relationship equals citizenship.' PLAN shows us that this simple syllogism has powerful heuristic value when applied to organizational structure and when designing supportive and empowering services for people who are vulnerable to being isolated. The purpose of this research is to investigate, through a case study of one organization, the opportunities and barriers that can confront a co-operative membership-based organization which seeks to empower people toward full citizenship in the process of providing services to people with disabilities, and the strategies and structures that may be effective in response.

description: Drumhead surface states that link together loops of nodal lines arise in Dirac nodal-line semimetals as a consequence of the topologically non-trivial band crossings. We used low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and Fourier-transformed scanning tunneling spectroscopy to investigate the quasiparticle interference (QPI) properties of ZrSiTe. Our results show two scattering signals across the drumhead state resolving the energy-momentum relationship through the occupied and unoccupied energy ranges it is predicted to span. Observation of this drumhead state is in contrast to previous studies on ZrSiS and ZrSiSe, where the QPI was dominated by topologically trivial bulk bands and surface states. Furthermore, we observe a near $\mathbf{k} \rightarrow -\mathbf{k}$ scattering process across the $Γ$-point, enabled by scattering between the spin-split drumhead bands in this material.

description: We study Strauss's model of a network with clustering and present an analytic mean-field solution which is exact in the limit of large network size. Previous computer simulations have revealed a degenerate region in the model's parameter space in which triangles of adjacent edges clump together to form unrealistically dense subgraphs, and perturbation calculations have been found to break down in this region at all orders. Our analytic solution shows that this region corresponds to a classic symmetry-broken phase and that the onset of the degeneracy corresponds to a first-order phase transition in the density of the network.

description: Using figures seems to create rigour, objectivity, knowledge and it facilitates comparisons. Consequently, an evalution without figures is hardly conceivable. Nonetheless, objectivity and precision can be just an impression given the fact that figures are constructions built on a modeled description of reality. The simplification of reality operated through a figure can hide subtle elements regarding the way public policies work. If figures can legitimately be used in evaluation, every kinds of figures and evaluations are not equivalent. Therefore, our main research question is what place for figures in evalution? This contribution relates to research about policy evaluation, seen as a mean to produce knowledge useful for the understanding of policies and their implementation. Based on the analysis of the evaluations of rural development policies conducted by the French ministry of agriculture our goal is to increase practical and theoretical knowledge of those policies through well-designed evalutions.
