Biochemical protein interactions of Gliotactin at the tricellular junction
Creators: name: Que, Jaimmie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The septate junction is an occluding junction in invertebrates, similar in function to tight junctions, playing a role in epithelial barriers, and in apical/basal polarity. Septate junction interactions are still being characterized as new component proteins are discovered. One septate junction protein, Gliotactin, was discovered in Drosophila to correlate with the mislocalization of characteristic septate junction proteins in a Gliotactin null animal. However, Gliotactin is the only component found exclusively at the level of septate junctions at tricellular junctions in epithelia. The tricellular junctions are the structure at the convergence of three cells and a potential organizing factor of the septate junction. This led to the question, what is Gliotactin's role in the organization of the tricellular and septate junctions? To study this, we looked at Gliotactin interactors, and attempted to elucidate a model of tricellular and septate junction protein interactions. Previous attempts at finding Gliotactin interactors were made using in vitro systems or by using transgenic animals using an over-expressed epitope-tagged Gliotactin, that showed that Gliotactin interacts with known septate junction proteins in a calcium dependent manner. This thesis aims to further explore Gliotactin interactions with the hypothesis that native Gliotactin in Drosophila interacts in a calcium dependant manner with septate junction proteins, Discs Large, and Neurexin IV. Using co-immunoprecipitation and GST pulldowns, on native Gliotactin protein in Drosophila, I have shown that Gliotactin does not interact with Neurexin IV but does interact with Discs Large in a calcium-dependent manner. This is significant in that, to date, there has been no known interactor of Discs Large or of native Gliotactin at the tricellular junction. I also present data on unidentified potential Gliotactin interactors seen in a GST pulldown assay. The data presented in this thesis has contributed to a new working model of the tricellular junction and the role of Gliotactin.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: El plâtano es el farinâceo de mayor importancia econômica en Puerto Rico. Para el ano fiscal 1994, el ingreso bruto agricola de esta cosecha fue de $29.3 millones. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron el determinar con datos secundarios, como ciertos productos del mercado afectan el consumo de plâtanos en Puerto Rico y cuàl ha sido la tendencia del consumo de plâtanos en Puerto Rico durante los Ultimos 29 anos y conocer cuâl ha sido el impacto del consumo de otros bienes sobre el consumo de plâtanos. Para alcanzar estos objetivos se constiruyô un modelo de fùnciôn de consumo. El modelo desarrollado fue uno de regresiôn lineal multiple, por ser el que mejor se ajustô a los datos disponibles. El modelo incluyô la cantidad consumida per câpita de plâtanos como variable depend iente, precio de los bienes connplementarios, precio de los bienes sustitutos e ingreso personal disponible per câpita como variables independientes. Para evaluar el conjunto de datos y estimar la funciôn de consumo de plâtanos se utilizô el programa de cômputo "Microsoft Excel". Los resultados evidencian que la demanda por el plâtano es de indole inelâstica y que el plâtano es un bien inferior. Los resultados también indican que el plâtano guarda una relation de complementariedad con la papa y la yautia. Por ejemplo, un aumento en el precio de la papa ο en la yautia produce una disminuciôn en la demanda de plâtanos. Los resultados ademâs evidencian que el plâtano guarda una relation de sustituciôn con el name.

description: The probability distributions (PDFs) of the differences of any physical variable in the intermittent, turbulent interplanetary medium are scale dependent. Strong non-Gaussianity of solar wind fluctuations applies for short time-lag spacecraft observations, corresponding to small-scale spatial separations, whereas for large scales the differences turn into a Gaussian normal distribution. These characteristics were hitherto described in the context of the log-normal, the Castaing distribution or the shell model. On the other hand, a possible explanation for nonlocality in turbulence is offered within the context of nonextensive entropy generalization by a recently introduced bi-kappa distribution, generating through a convolution of a negative-kappa core and positive-kappa halo pronounced non-Gaussian structures. The PDFs of solar wind scalar field differences are computed from WIND and ACE data for different time lags and compared with the characteristics of the theoretical bi-kappa functional, well representing the overall scale dependence of the spatial solar wind intermittency. The observed PDF characteristics for increased spatial scales are manifest in the theoretical distribution functional by enhancing the only tuning parameter $κ$, measuring the degree of nonextensivity where the large-scale Gaussian is approached for $κ\to \infty$. The nonextensive approach assures for experimental studies of solar wind intermittency independence from influence of a priori model assumptions. It is argued that the intermittency of the turbulent fluctuations should be related physically to the nonextensive character of the interplanetary medium counting for nonlocal interactions via the entropy generalization.

description: Fensterläden sind zurzeit wieder ein beliebtes architektonisches Element nachdem sie schon fast in Vergessenheit geraten sind. Sie werden hauptsächlich als Verschattungselement verwendet und somit wird das große Potential dieses Fassadenelementes nur minimalst genutzt. Im Rahmen der Diplomarbeit soll dieses Potenzial aufgezeigt und in der Entwicklung eines neuartigen sowie leistbaren Ladensystems wiedergegeben werden. Beginnend bei einer historischen Skizze wird die Entwicklung und Verbreitung, als auch Arten und Einsatzvarianten des Fassadenelementes aufgezeigt, wobei der Fokus auf spezielle Systeme aus der Schweiz gerichtet wird. Diese sind besonders ausgeklügelt und zeugen von besonderem Einfallsreichtum in Bezug auf Fassadenintegration. Die Entwicklung des Fensterladens wurde parallel zu der des Fensters vollzogen und dient somit der Ergänzung des Fensters. Um diese Ergänzungen weiterentwickeln zu können, ist es notwendig die Funktionalismen des Bauteiles Fenster zu verstehen. Deshalb werden deren Eigenschaften und die dadurch entstehenden Abhängigkeiten beleuchtet. Aufbauend auf dieser Funktionsanalyse wird im Entwurfsteil darauf eingegangen, wie mit Fensterladensystemen einzelne Eigenschaften der Fenster verbessert werden können. Der zweite Schwerpunkt besteht darin, ein möglichst marktfähiges und multifunktionales System aufzuzeigen. Im letzten Teil wird das entwickelte System thermisch simuliert um dadurch die Funktionalität sowie die wirtschaftlichen Vorteile eines solchen Systems dargestellt.
description: Shutters are currently playing a popular architectural element after they have been almost forgotten. They are mainly used as a shading element and thus the great potential of this facade element is used only minimally. In the thesis the potential of these elements will be identified and reflected in the development of a novel and affordable shutter-system. A historical sketch will show the evolution and the dissemination of the facade element, whereby the focus is directed to specific systems from Switzerland. These are very sophisticated and are evidence of special ingenuity in relation to facade integration. The development of the shutter was done in parallel to the window and thus serves to complement the window. In order to further develop these supplements, it is necessary to understand the functionalisms of the component window. Therefore, their properties and the resulting dependencies are illuminated. Based on this functional analysis will be discussed on the design part of how individual characteristics of the window can be improved with insulating shutter systems. The second focus is to show a possible multifunctional system. In the last part, the developed system is thermally simulated thereby represented the functionality as well as the economic benefits of such a system.

description: In this paper, we discuss the way advanced machine learning techniques allow physicists to perform in-depth studies of the realistic operating modes of the detectors during the stage of their design. Proposed approach can be applied to both design concept (CDR) and technical design (TDR) phases of future detectors and existing detectors if upgraded. The machine learning approaches may speed up the verification of the possible detector configurations and will automate the entire detector R\&D, which is often accompanied by a large number of scattered studies. We present the approach of using machine learning for detector R\&D and its optimisation cycle with an emphasis on the project of the electromagnetic calorimeter upgrade for the LHCb detector\cite{lhcls3}. The spatial reconstruction and time of arrival properties for the electromagnetic calorimeter were demonstrated.

Adapting to the Long Tail in Language Understanding
Creators: name: Naik, Aakanksha
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Natural Language Processing

description:  Advances in deep learning, especially self-supervised representation learning, have produced models that reach human parity on many benchmark datasets, which cover a variety of natural language understanding tasks. However, benchmark datasets are constructed from naturally occurring text, and are no exception to Zipf's law, containing a small proportion of highly frequent cases and a long tail of less frequent cases. Benchmark-driven evaluation and model development favors NLU models that perform well on the head, sidelining domains and phenomena that are underrepresented. 
In this thesis, we adopt a two level conceptualization of the long tail: (i) macro-level according to broad dimensions of linguistic variation such as language, genre, topic, etc., and (ii) micro-level according to the presence or absence of specific linguistic phenomena such as numeracy, deixis, etc. With this conceptualization in mind, we focus on addressing three research questions about the applicability of domain adaptation to the long tail: (i) how can we best adapt between macro-level dimensions?, (ii) how can we best handle micro-level phenomena?, (iii) how do we evaluate performance on the long tail? 
For adaptation at the macro level (low-resource domains), we propose: (i) likelihood-based instance weighting, an unsupervised adaptation technique that uses language model likelihoods to estimate source-target similarity, and (ii) domain-aware query sampling, an embedding similarity-based criterion to improve data efficiency during active learning. For micro-level adaptation (low-resource phenomena), we present an integrated architecture that incorporates knowledge/rules represented as ILP constraints into neural model training using a structured SVM framework. Finally, for long tail evaluation, we develop an evaluation paradigm called “stress tests'', which allows us to identify micro long tail phenomena that models fail on by supplementing benchmark evaluation with evaluation on non-identically distributed phenomenon-focused test-only datasets. 
Through a series of systematically designed case studies, we analyze and contrast the performance of these proposed techniques with existing transfer learning methods on information extraction and text classification tasks. Our goal is to identify promising categories of methods for the long tail, while mapping out their limits. This thesis takes preliminary steps towards aggregating a series of best practices that can facilitate informed selection from an arsenal of strong transfer methods, given a new long tail setting

description: The transition from a planned to a decentralised market economy amongst the new independent republics of the former Soviet Union has often been accompanied by harsh political competition to obtain the responsibility for implementing the required institutional reforms. A brief overview is provided of the components of these transitions towards a market economy. An estimate is made of the seignorage in these transitions by assessing the inflation tax on money holders that is implicit in the very high growth rates of prices in 1992. JEL Codes: E02, P20

description: The sharp depreciation of the italian lira at the end of 1992 did not lead to a rebound in inflation which was feared at the time: consumer prices maintained a substantially reflective trend, contradicting the experience of similar episodes of the past. This study focuses attention on the question of the impact of the business cycle on profit margins and prices. Although the analysis of what happened in the aftermath of the devaluation is beyond the scope of the work, the econometric evidence that is presented on the direct role of various factors provides useful insights for an interpretation of recent events. The empirical analysis is linked to the prices of output of industrial transformation and sellable services sectors, in order to take into account the sectoral differences of the inflationary process. The authors discuss the role of numerous factors before submitting the results of the estimates. The estimated equations are then used to conduct some simulations to make the consequences of particular shocks more clear. JEL Codes: E31, E32

description: Pig production sector in Dong Nai has recently faced huge pressure to progress toward sustainability. This paper employs economic-efficiency approach to identify different perspectives on sustainability of stakeholders along the pig value chain. Of the three perspectives of sustainability: (1) economics, (2) environment, and (3) society, food safety is found predominantly linked to social perspectives. Key findings of this study are: (1) limited training avenues and less support infrastructure create a disincentive for adoption of food safety from small farmers; (2) government’s intervention succeeds in building a legal framework, yet fails to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of food quality and safety management systems. This study suggests that the government needs playing a more pro-active role in supporting and orienting the value chain toward sustainability from holistic approach.

description: le choix variétal pour la culture de la tomate se fait selon de multiples critères : niveau et régularité du rendement, résistance aux maladies, qualité et conservation des fruits. Les différents tests utilisés pour évaluer les variétés selon ces critères sont présentés et une synthèse est réalisée pour orienter le choix des agriculteurs en fonction de leurs systèmes de culture. Les cultures sous abris se sont développées rapidement à la Martinique ces dernières années: elles permettent de cultiver toute l'année, malgré les fortes pluies et autorisent l'intensification sur de faibles surfaces. Toutefois l'investissement dans un abri est important et il est indispensable d'utiliser des techniques culturales adaptées pour valoriser au mieux cet investissement. Parmi ces techniques culturales, deux sont fondamentales : la protection phytosanitaire des cultures et le choix variétal. Cette communication présentera les travaux entrepris par le CIRAD pour proposer aux agriculteurs une gamme de variétés de tomates adaptées à leurs conditions.

Today a further intervention in the pension system is necessary to integrate and complete (and in some respects correct) the process of rationalisation and reorganisation that began with the measures taken in 1992, and to bring the burden on future generations back to tolerable levels.

Cabibbo anomaly versus electroweak precision tests: An exploration of extensions of the Standard Model
Creators: name: Kirk, Matthew

description: There is a newly emerging tension between determinations of $V_{us}$ from different sources (known as the Cabibbo anomaly), which is clearly demonstrated by the new $R(V_{us})$ observable. We explore this observable from the perspective of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory and show there is a discrepancy between $R(V_{us})$ and existing electroweak precision observables (EWPO) in a simple single operator dominated scenario. We explore all possible single particle extensions of the Standard Model that can generate the Cabibbo anomaly effect and show how they cannot reconcile the current data. We further examine the future of EWPO at the ILC or FCC-ee experiments and discuss the effect on the tension of a change in specific EW observables.

Se evaluaron très tratamientos:(l)fertilizante de liberation controlada 22-4-6, (2) fertilizante de liberation controlada 20-10-5, (3) fertilizante granular 10-10-8 (control). Se midiô el diâmetro del tallo y la altura del àrbol al inicio y al final del experimento; el volumen de copa, a los 14 meses despues la siembra. En esta etapa también se tomaron muestras de suelo y tejido foliar para determinar los niveles de Ν, Ρ, Κ, Ca y Mg. Todos los tratamientos resultaron en concentraciones déficientes de nitrôgeno en el tejido foliar (menor de 2.5%), lo que sugiere que los niveles de nitrôgeno recomendados actual mente para el abonamiento de citricas deben ser revisados. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre tratamientos en el contenido de nutrimentos del suelo ni en el pH. Tampoco se observaron diferencias significativas en la altura, volumen de copa ni en el diâmetro del tallo de los ârboles de citricas. Estos resultados sugieren que de una a dos aplicaciones de un fertilizante de liberation controlada tiene el mismo efecto sobre el crecimiento y desarrollo de ârboles de citricas que cuatro a seis dosis de otros fertilizantes comiinmente utilizados.

Productivity Analysis

description: Shades are often used in horticultural production to extend growing season, enhance crop growth, and improve yield. A study was conducted to evatuate the effect of shade on vegetative growth and yield components of hot pepper (Capsicum annum, L., var. Scoth Bonnet). Continuous shade under tent fabric (polypropylene mesh) was compared to full sunlight and black plastic mulch was used to control weeds. A complete randomized design was used and the effects of shade were measured at 6 week-intervals using leaf area, plant height, stem diameter, fresh and dry biomass production and their partitioning, and fruit yield components. The tent fabric reduced light by 70% at 0900h, 64% at 1300h, and 87% at 1700h. Leaf area was higher under shade (42.5%) and was maintained up to 18 weeks after transplanting (WAT). Shade resulted in increase plant height and reduced stem diameter by 76.2% and 10%, respectively. Shade also reduced the number of fresh fruit as well as fresh fruit weight by 306 and 210%, respectively. However, shade increased unit fresh fruit weight by 31%. In addition, biomass was reduced by as much as 41.1%. Scotch Bonnet hot peppers grown under shade had increased vegetative growth but decreased fruit production and biomass accumulation. However, fruit size is a critical economic factor and must be considered in the marketing of Scotch Bonnet.

description: Objectives: This study intends to describe the Andaman Sea circulation and investigate the dominant modes of variability in the basin.
Analysis/Observations: The domain experiences stronger South-westerly winds from May to September and relatively weaker North-easterlies from November to February. A strong negative Ekman pumping along the north coast of Indonesia is observed during Summer. The transport of water across the straits of Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) is computed by simple mass balance and is found to be in phase with the monthly averaged Mean Sea Level Anomalies (MSLA) of Andaman Sea. There occurs high surface outflux through Great channel and Ten-Degree channel in Summer. In April and October, rate of transport through the straits is maximum. During the same months, meridional surface currents intensify along the eastern boundary of the basin and are associated with signatures of downwelling.
Findings: Intense down welling occurs to the north coast of Indonesia during Summer, locally forced by south-westerlies. There occurs large influx of water into Andaman Sea between April and November through the straits between the islands. Equatorial Wyrtki jets remotely force Kelvin waves of downwelling nature in the basin during April and October. The circulation in Andaman Sea is characterised by gyres or vortices, which is the manifestation of Rossby waves of semi-annual mode. The basin has a characteristic 120-day mode of westward propagating long Rossby wave packets which reflect from the coast of ANI as eastward propagating short Rossby waves.
Novelty: The first attempt to completely describe the dynamics of Andaman Sea circulation exclusively from observations.

Multifractality in a broad class of disordered systems

description: We study multifractality in a broad class of disordered systems which includes, e.g., the diluted x-y model. Using renormalized field theory we analyze the scaling behavior of cumulant averaged dynamical variables (in case of the x-y model the angles specifying the directions of the spins) at the percolation threshold. Each of the cumulants has its own independent critical exponent, i.e., there are infinitely many critical exponents involved in the problem. Working out the connection to the random resistor network, we determine these multifractal exponents to two-loop order. Depending on the specifics of the Hamiltonian of each individual model, the amplitudes of the higher cumulants can vanish and in this case, effectively, only some of the multifractal exponents are required.

description: Within the European Development of the Higher Studies and the planned standardization of the education during the Bologna Process and the inventing of the European Higher Education Area also the Study of Architecture at the Vienna University of Technology was changed from the Diploma Programme into the Bachelor-/Masterstudies. Which changes do this structural reorganisation occur to the students in the field of Architecture? Which impact is recognized on the process of the two studies and the teached contents? Are there changes in the relation of the quantity of the theoretical and practical education? With the comparison of the curricula of the 3 studies and analysing the changes e.g. improvements for the students, these questions should be answered. Not forgotten are the issues of changes and chances for the alumni of the several programmes and which impact the changed education may result. Additional there should be also a view on the opinions and positions of the active working architects and the professional representation. Did the changing in education lead to a positive development for the students and Architecture in common, or are there also negative aspects noticed? Which requirements on future modification and adjustments of the curricula are to be mentioned, respectively in which direction the education of students of the field of Architecture should develop?

description: A rapid method of inducing root formation in West Indian (WI) germplasm is needed to evaluate them for tolerance or resistance to Phytophtora cinnamomi. WI germplasm have shown a considerable natural resistance to the disease when compared with proven rootstocks. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate rooting of WI avocado by stem cuttings, air layering, arid etiolation. Five concentrations of Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) were employed to initiate rooting in mature stem cuttings. The same five concentrations of IBA in conjunction with 12 rooting factors;' were used to stimulate root initiation via air layering. Stem cuttings of etiolated avocado seedlings and etiolated shoots from a juvenile sucker of a mature WI avocado tree were also evaluated. Fifty percent of the etiolated stem cutting from the seedling plants rooted in 5 weeks; whereas 33% of the juvenile sucker of the mature tree rooted after 17 weeks. A single root arised from the air layer control treatment after 10 weeks. Callus formation was achieved in all air layer treatments and in the stem cuttings. Further research needs to be conducted to understand the limiting factor(s) affecting rooting. Once these limitation(s) are surpassed; the rooted clones will be used for testing for resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi.

description: Two plantain production experiments were conducted from 1989 to 1992 at Corozal, P.R. to determine the effect of tillage practice and relay intercropping regimes on yield of the cultivar Maricongo (Musa acuminata jr M. balbisiana ). The first experiment used a planting distance of 1.8 χ 1.8 m and the second experiment 3.1 χ 1.5 m. Two tillage practices were included: conventional tillage and no tillage. There were no significant differences in the plant crop yield (P<0.05) among the treatments for the first and second experiments. However, in the first experiment, the conventional tillage treatment outyielded the one of the no-till, relay crop treatments introduced when the plant crop was 9-month old with regard to the relay crop yield. In the second experiment there was no relay crop yield difference between the conventional tillage treatment and any of the no-till, relay crop treatments. The highest net income for the first experiment was the no-till, relay crop treatment introduced when the plant crop was 17-month old ($ 3,692/ha). The highest net income for the second experiment was found to be the same treatment again as in the first experiment ($934/ha).
The local sub-mm luminosity functions and predictions from Spitzer to Herschel

description: We present new determinations of the local sub-mm luminosity functions, solving the ``sub-mm Olbers' Paradox.'' We also present predictions of source counts and luminosity functions in current and future far-infrared to sub-mm surveys. Using the sub-mm colour temperature relations from the SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey, and the discovery of excess 450 micron excess emission in these galaxies, we interpolate and extrapolate the IRAS detections to make predictions of the SEDs of all 15411 PSC-z galaxies from 50-1300 microns. Despite the long extrapolations we find excellent agreement with (a) the 90 micron luminosity function of Serjeant et al. (2001), (b) the 850 micron luminosity function of Dunne et al. (2000), (c) the mm-wave photometry of Andreani & Franceschini (1996); (d) the asymptotic differential and integral source count predictions at 50-1300 microns by Rowan-Robinson (2001). We find the local 850 micron sub-mm luminosity density converges to (7.3+/-0.2)x10^{19} h_{65} W/Hz/Mpc^3. Remarkably, the local spectral luminosity density and the extragalactic background light together strongly constrain the cosmic star formation history for a wide class of evolutionary assumptions. We find that the extragalactic background light, the 850 micron 8mJy source counts, and the Omega_* constraints all independently point to a decline in the comoving star formation rate at z>1. In order to reconcile this with direct determinations, we suggest either there is a top-heavy initial mass function at high redshifts, and/or there is stronger evolution in the more luminous far-infrared galaxies than seen in the population as a whole.

description: Recent progress towards the construction of the European Union slowed down a little with the exchange rate problems of 1992 and 1993. Central elements in the construction strategy are extending the internal market and building institutions with government functions at the supranational level. A review is undertaken of the economic theory of multi-level government finance, the optimal assignment of fiscal responsibilities to various government tiers, and the general applicability of these theories to the European Union.

title: Scalable Bundle Design for Massively Parallel Neuronal Recordings In Vivo
Creators: name: Wray, William

description: Neural coding consists of precise interactions between related neurons. New techniques are needed to measure the time sensitive interactions within entire neural networks to understand how the brain functions. Extracellular recording is the oldest method of measuring neural activity and can sample at a temporal resolution to resolve fast spiking neurons. If scaled to a sufficiently large number of simultaneous recorded neurons, this technique would be an excellent candidate for such large scale recording. I propose the combined use of glass ensheathed microwire bundle electrodes and an infrared camera readout integrated circuit to collect massively parallel neuronal recordings in vivo. This design will allow for the recording of high quality signals because of the non-intrusive dimensions, low stray capacitance, and enhanced surface impedance of the electrodes, as well as the high signal to noise amplification of the camera electronics.

 Here the construction of a system to record neural activity is described and its electrical properties are characterized. The results demonstrate the ability to successfully connect fabricated bundle electrodes to the indium bumps of the readout integrated circuit chip and to record voltage waveforms with a signal to noise ratio to resolve simulated spikes. In vivo experiments in the olfactory bulb of anaesthetized mice have resulted in recordings of action potentials from single units. The spike rate of these units increases with odor presentation and is pharmacologically inhibited which demonstrates the biological origin of the recorded activity. To further advance this technology, the stability and rate of connection to the readout electronics need to improve and insertion of electrode bundles with hundreds of more recording sites needs to be optimized. This promising design has several distinct advantages over existing fluorescence imaging and extracellular recording neurotechnologies for large scale neuronal recording.

description: Abstract: An approach for resilient multipath routing with independent directed acyclic graphs is presented in this paper and developed polynomial time algorithms to construct node independent and link independent DAGs using all possible edges in the network. In this multiple pairs of colored trees approaches to prove the validity of thealgorithm. The IDAGs approach performs significantly better than the independent trees approach in terms of increasing no. of paths offered, reducing the probability of a two-link failure disconnecting a node from the destination and average link load. The trees based on the shortest paths on the IDAGs have better performance than that of the ITrees approach since the average shortest path length on the IDAGs is shorter than the average path length on the ITrees. Multiple pairs of colored trees approach is better in terms of the product of the no. of critical links and average link load compared to the ITrees and IDAGs approaches.

description: Based on the Melnikov method, we investigate chaotic behaviors in the extended thermodynamic phase space for a slowly rotating Kerr-AdS black hole under temporal and spatial perturbations. Our results show that the temporal perturbation coming from a thermal quench of the spinodal region in the phase diagram may cause the temporal chaos only when the perturbation amplitude is above a critical value, which involves the angular momentum . Under the spatial perturbation, however, it is found that the spatial chaos always occurs, which is independent of the perturbation amplitude.

description: Pig production sector in Dong Nai has recently faced huge pressure to progress toward sustainability. This paper employs economic-efficiency approach to identify different perspectives on sustainability of stakeholders along the pig value chain. Of the three perspectives of sustainability: (1) economics, (2) environment, and (3) society, food safety is found predominantly linked to social perspectives. Key findings of this study are: (1) limited training avenues and less support infrastructure create a disincentive for adoption of food safety from small farmers; (2) government’s intervention succeeds in building a legal framework, yet fails to provide a platform to facilitate implementation of food quality and safety management systems. This study suggests that the government needs playing a more pro-active role in supporting and orienting the value chain toward sustainability from holistic approach.
