description: Decision Support Systems (DSS) can improve farm management decisions and offer the opportunity to improve productivity and limit environmental degradation, both key tenets of the sustainable intensification of agriculture. While DSS are becoming increasingly useful for agriculture, the uptake of computer-based support systems by farmers has remained disappointingly low as evidenced by studies spanning at least two decades. This paper explores the reasons behind this continued lack of interest. Is it, as previous researchers have proposed, the lack of user involvement in the design and development of these systems? If so why should this be the case given decades of evidence underlining the value in user centred design (UCD)? The paper reviews literature on the desirable characteristics of DSS, and then uses 78 interviews and five focus groups to explore a case study of system use. The paper suggests that without changes to how systems are developed, particularly in how users are consulted, use of this technology will continue to be low. Practical suggestions are proposed to encourage more effective user-centred design. Chief amongst these, the need for designers to undertake a ‘decision support context assessment’ before building and launching a product is highlighted. Better knowledge of user-centred design practices, a clear understanding of advice systems, and greater collaboration with human-computer interaction researchers are also required.

description: The objective of this manuscript is to understand better the nature of agricultural growth and productivity under a new tropical system of production, safrinha or succession cropping, which results in two large crops per year. The subject provides scholars and policymakers a technical foundation by which to think about the potential for market moving agricultural expansion and greater grain supplies originating from the tropics. Our results show that commercial tropical grain producers continue to rely on input intensification, principally chemicals, and extensification of their land base, and relatively low levels of technology, to increase grain production.

description: Throughout daily life, most of us are introduced to a variety of architectural themed elements, such as replicas or forgeries that are far from their original birthplace. We often see them in hotels, shopping malls, amusement parks, in various sizes, shapes, and quantities. We experience them in passing, in the short term. However, what happens when such elements are afforded a great opportunity and freedom? Among various things, we can get themed towns. Life in China introduced me to this architectural phenomenon, through the concept of Western-themed towns, which deserves research with the purpose of discovering the fundamental ideas upon which it is based. Through various analyses, this research has covered many structural elements that make up these themed towns. Therefore, the search for a new identity of Chinese architecture, with the help of various cultural fragments, has been found to be crucial in creating the space for the birth of this phenomenon, which has many unique features.
Origin of Spin-Orbit Misalignments: The Microblazar V4641 Sgr

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Of the known microquasars, V4641 Sgr boasts the most severe lower limit (> 52°) on the misalignment angle between the relativistic jet axis and the binary orbital angular momentum. Assuming the jet and black hole spin axes coincide, we attempt to explain the origin of this extreme spin-orbit misalignment with a natal kick model, whereby an aligned binary system becomes misaligned by a supernova kick imparted to the newborn black hole. The model inputs are the kick velocity distribution, which we measure customized to V4641 Sgr, and the immediate pre/post-supernova binary system parameters. Using a grid of binary stellar evolution models, we determine post-supernova configurations that evolve to become consistent with V4641 Sgr today and obtain the corresponding pre-supernova configurations by using standard prescriptions for common envelope evolution. Using each of these potential progenitor system parameter sets as inputs, we find that a natal kick struggles to explain the origin of the V4641 Sgr spin-orbit misalignment. Consequently, we conclude that evolutionary pathways involving a standard common envelope phase followed by a supernova kick are highly unlikely for V4641 Sgr. An alternative interpretation is that the jet axis does not reliably trace the black hole spin axis. Our results raise concerns about compact object merger statistics gleaned from binary population synthesis models, which rely on unverified prescriptions for common envelope evolution and natal kicks. We also challenge the spin-orbit alignment assumption routinely invoked to measure black hole spin magnitudes.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A complete realistic study of $_Λ^5$He hypernucleus is presented using a realistic Hamiltonian and wave function. This study takes into account all relevant dynamical correlations along with $ΛN$ space-exchange correlation (SEC). We also compute $ΛNN$ force and the corelation induced by this force. The SEC affects the central repulsive $λN$ correlation significantly at $r \le 2.0$ fm, specially at its peak and in its vicinity. SEC significantly affects energy breakdown of the hypernucleus, $Λ$-seperation energy, nuclear core (NC) polarization and density profiles. A lage NC polarization is found with and without SEC, respectively. The SEC effect is relatively large in two-pion exchange component of $ΛNN$ force. Therefore, any attempt to pin down the strength of this force with no SEC would be flawed.

Σκοπός της έρευνας είναι να διατυπώσει κατά πόσο η εσωτερική, η εξωτερική και η έλλειψη παρακίνησης σε συνδυασμό με τη συνολική εμπειρία, μπορούν να προβλέψουν την καταναλωτική αφοσίωση των πελατών μέσα από την πρόθεση για ανανέωση της συνδρομής τους και για ανεπίσημη επικοινωνία και τη συνολική τους ικανοποίηση Η έρευνα έγινε σε γυμναστήρια της Θεσσαλονίκης με δείγμα 120 ατόμων. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι υπήρξε μια μέτρια συσχέτιση της εσωτερικής παρακίνησης με τη συνολική εμπειρία, ενώ δεν βρέθηκε συσχέτιση με τις άλλες διαστάσεις της. Επιπλέον η συνολική εμπειρία δεν φάνηκε να έχει συσχέτιση με πρόθεση για ανανέωση της συνδρομής, την ανεπίσημη επικοινωνία των πελατών καθώς και την συνολική τους ικανοποίηση από τα γυμναστήρια. Επίσης φάνηκε ότι η συνολική εμπειρία δεν φάνηκε να επηρεάζεται από τη συχνότητα συμμετοχής των μελών στο γυμναστήριο ούτε από το φύλο. Το ίδιο φάνηκε να ισχύει και για το είδος της άθλησης που χρησιμοποιούν τα μέλη του γυμναστηρίου, την οικογενειακή τους κατάσταση καθώς και την εκπαίδευσή τους. Τέλος φάνηκε ότι η εσωτερική παρακίνηση επηρεάζει θετικά την πρόθεση για ανανέωση της συνδρομής, την πρόθεση για ανεπίσημη επικοινωνία και την συνολική ικανοποίηση των μελών του γυμναστηρίου
description: The present study studies the investigation of factors that can help increase consumer loyalty through the positive experience of private gym clients in Thessaloniki. The purpose of the research is to state whether the internal, external, and lack of motivation combined with the overall experience, can predict the consumer loyalty of the customers through the intention to renew their subscription, for informal communication and their overall satisfaction. The research was conducted in gyms in Thessaloniki with a sample of 120 people. The results showed that there was a moderate correlation of intrinsic motivation with the overall experience, while no correlation was found with its other dimensions. Besides, the overall experience did not seem to correlate with the intention to renew the subscription, the informal communication of the customers as well as their overall satisfaction from the gyms. It also appeared that the overall experience did not appear to be affected by the frequency of members attending the gym nor by gender. The same seemed to apply to the type of sport used by the gym members, their marital status as well as their education. Finally, it seemed that the internal motivation positively affects the intention to renew the subscription, the intention for informal communication, and the overall satisfaction of the members of the gym

description: A significant amount of articles are published daily in the field of Biomedicine. However, in the age of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM), the exponentially growing literature makes it quite difficult to practice medicine daily. As a result, it challenges Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to quickly search and properly evaluate information in the large amount of data generated. This work on automated extraction of data from medical articles, deals with finding entities within the texts that obey certain conditions, such as entities that comply with the PICO standard. For this purpose, it uses Machine and Deep Learning techniques. Finally, the implementation and conclusions for the identification and export of the named entities in four areas of EBM Biomedical, Diseases, Chemicals and Cell Molecules using a fully end to end Transformer based model are presented

description: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of production system (Finishing, calf-to-slaughter; Live, calf-to-live sale; Mixed, a combination of Finishing and Live) on the profitability of suckler beef farms in Ireland and furthermore, to identify the key drivers of profitability. The financial records of 38 farms participating in a knowledge transfer programme, over a 7 year period, were used. Finishing (58.4 hectares (ha) and 119.2 livestock units (LU)) and Mixed (60.5 ha and 114.7 LU) farms had greater (Po0.05) size and number of livestock units than Live farms (45.0 ha and 84.4 LU). Beef live weight output per ha and gross output (GO) value per LU and per ha was greater (Po0.05) on Finishing farms than Mixed farms. Finishing farms had the highest (Po0.01) concentrate costs per ha, whereas contractor costs per LU were highest (Po0.05) on Mixed farms. No difference (P40.05) in net margin (NM) per LU or per ha was found between production systems. Although physical output, in relation to stocking rate and beef live weight, was found to be an important driver of profitability, total costs per kg output was similarly strongly correlated with gross and net margin. Therefore, reducing the level of expenditure incurred per kg output produced is imperative to improving suckler beef farm profitability.

description: Observers following special classes of finite-lifetime trajectories have been shown to experience an effective temperature, a generalisation of the Unruh temperature for uniformly accelerated observers. We consider a mirror following such a trajectory - and is hence localised to a strictly bounded causal diamond - that perfectly reflects incoming field modes. We find that inertial observers in the Minkowski vacuum detect particles along the half null-rays at the beginning and end of the mirror's lifetime. These particle distributions exhibit multi-partite entanglement, which reveals novel structure within the vacuum correlations. The interaction is modelled using a non-perturbative circuit model and does not suffer from energy divergences.

description: Land is often considered as a metaphor for power, wealth and status. This is as true in agriculture as the control and ownership of farmland are often intertwined with the notion of food security. As a result, in recent years farmland has attracted investors outside farming which often leads to speculative behaviours. With a new approach in mind, Pangea was founded in 2012 by farm owner-operator Serge Fortin and well-known Saguenay entrepreneur Charles Sirois. Their arrival on the Quebec agricultural scene garnered significant criticism from farming communities across the province. As Pangea is beginning to venture into the province of Ontario, some wonder if the model is both scalable and transferable to other economies. This case study presents the Pangea model by virtue of several interviews conducted at Pangea’s head office in Montreal in early 2016. Using a political economy framework, the model’s performance is evaluated and commented on. Some limitations and future research paths are also suggested.

description: We introduce the asymmetric extension of the Quantum Symmetric Simple Exclusion Process which is a stochastic model of fermions on a lattice hopping with random amplitudes. In this setting, we analytically show that the time-integrated current of fermions defines a height field which exhibits a quantum non-linear stochastic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang dynamics. Similarly to classical simple exclusion processes, we further introduce the discrete Cole-Hopf (or Gärtner) transform of the height field which satisfies a quantum version of the Stochastic Heat Equation. Finally, we investigate the limit of the height field theory in the continuum under the celebrated Kardar-Parisi-Zhang scaling and the regime of almost-commuting quantum noise.

description: Potash is an indispensable element in agricultural development and innovation. It is relatively cheaper to mine, produce and be imported compared to other fertilizing materials such as nitrogen. This makes potash a viable material for agricultural based economies such as New Zealand. Despite the well documented benefits of potash, there is limited scholarly interest in the potash global market, its potential and economic advantages. This paper fills this gap by providing an overview of the potash market using secondary data provided by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations. Further, this research presents a market analysis of the potash industry worldwide. Most importantly, the study argues that the prospects of potash production can be realized by countries such as New Zealand without significant changes or investments in the existing agro-economic infrastructure.We will also consider the size of the market and future perspectives for potash demand in New Zealand. Furthermore, a critical analysis of potash consumption and production by the country will be done. The influence of the demand on the price and interrelation with the global volume of production will be considered. This research uncovers the negative impact of oligarchies on the mining, production and importation of potash. It also highlights the significance of diversification in New Zealand’s future agricultural development strategies. The burgeoning of Eastern European Potash markets offer New Zealand’s farmers the opportunity to access cheaper, better and diversified products greatly improving their local and to be exported crops.

description: A semiclassical method of complex trajectories for the calculation of the tunneling exponent in systems with many degrees of freedom is further developed. It is supplemented with an easily implementable technique, which enables one to single out the physically relevant trajectory from the whole set of complex classical trajectories. The method is applied to semiclassical transitions of a bound system through a potential barrier. We find that the properties of physically relevant complex trajectories are qualitatively different in the cases of potential tunneling at low energy and dynamical tunneling at energies exceeding the barrier height. Namely, in the case of high energies, the physically relevant complex trajectories describe tunneling via creation of a state close to the top of the barrier. The method is checked against exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation in a quantum mechanical system of two degrees of freedom.

description: Brexit, if or when it happens, will be a structural break to the political economy of UK agriculture. Farm businesses that will survive the shock will be those able to offer competitively priced products at home and abroad under a new, currently unknown, environmental, food and trade policy environment. Competitiveness is driven by low unit costs of agricultural production, efficient supply chains and low transport and transaction costs. The cost of labour is a very significant part of unit costs of agricultural production, but it is labour productivity that provides the key to competitiveness and not necessarily low units costs of labour. As in other industries, capital investment in intelligent technologies, which supports decision making that optimises the use agricultural inputs within a sustainable framework and reduce output waste, are the key to high labour productivity. Agricultural training needs to provide new entrants to the industry, whatever their age, with the skills to use performance data for operations and performance management as well as to deliver technical excellence. The LEAN project at Reaseheath College, funded by the Education and Training Foundation, is giving the 2017/18 cohort of Agriculture students a head-start in lean management techniques for agriculture. Reaseheath College will be publicising early results of this project at the end of the 2017/18 academic year and would welcome offers from educators working in this sector to peer review their work. Although the funded project ends this November, the LEAN project itself will run for three years so that its impact on students and employers can be properly assessed.

description: The selection of an appropriate map projection has a fundamental impact on the visualization and analysis of geographic information. Distortion is inevitable and the decision requires simultaneous consideration of several different factors; a process which can be confusing for many cartographers and GIS users. The last few decades have seen numerous attempts to create automated map projection selection solutions based on traditional classification and selection guidelines, but there are no existing tools directly accessible to users of GIS software when making projection selection decisions. This paper outlines key elements of projection selection and distortion theory, critically reviews the previous solutions, and introduces a new tool developed for ESRI’s ArcGIS, employing an original selection method tailored to the specific purpose and geographical footprint characteristics of a GIS project. The tool incorporates novel quantitative projection distortion measures which are currently unavailable within existing GIS packages. Parameters are optimized for certain projections to further reduce distortions. A set of candidate projected coordinate systems are generated that can be applied to the GIS project; enabling a qualitative visual assessment to facilitate the final user selection. The proposed tool provides a straightforward application which improves understanding of the projection selection process and assists users in making more effective use of GIS.
Constraints on non-minimally coupled curved space electrodynamics from astrophysical observations

description: We study interactions of electro-magnetic fields with the curvature tensor of the form $λR_{μναβ}F^{μν}F^{αβ}$. Such coupling terms though are invariant under general coordinate transformation and CPT, however violate the Einstein equivalence principle. These couplings do not cause any energy dependent dispersion of photons but they exhibit birefringence. We put constraints on the coupling constant $λ$ using results from solar system radar ranging experiments and millisecond-pulsar observations. We find that the most stringent constraint comes from pulsar observations and is given by $ λ< 10^{11} cm^2 $ obtained from the timing of binary pulsar PSR B1534+12.

description: The aim of this study is to estimate economic value of the multifunctionality of agriculture. A monetary valuation of the multifunctionality was conducted using a contingent valuation method. The study sets up three scenarios depending on the level of agricultural protection. The monetary values per year estimated are 6,503.8 billion won, 4,335.8 billion won and 2,168 billion won for scenarios 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Women generally revealed high willingness to pay (WTP) to compare with men, and those who travels frequently to rural area showed higher preference to the multifunctionality.
History and Context of Specialty Nursing in British Columbia: Mandatory or Voluntary Certification
Creators: name: Seyl, Nicole
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The trend towards mandatory certification for specialty practice has gained momentum in British Columbia (BC). Mandatory certification has been enforced by BC’s employers through posted job descriptions and qualifications for employment even though support for claims correlating positive patient outcomes with nurse certification is lacking within the empirical data. Thirty empirical, grey and policy documents were reviewed for insight into the development of mandatory certification in BC, complemented by a scan of the job postings of BC health authorities, to provide context on the current state of mandatory certification. The authors examine the history of certification in BC with consideration of the organizational, social, technological and political trends associated with its development. A review of the relationship between certification and patient/nurse outcomes is provided to inform decision-makers and nurses on the benefits and challenges associated with mandatory certification.

description: High-quality C-doped p-type AlGaAs heterostructures with mobilities exceeding 150 000 cm$^2$/Vs are investigated by low-temperature magnetotransport experiments. We find features of the fractional quantum Hall effect as well as a highly resolved Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations at low magnetic fields. This allows us to determine the densities, effective masses and mobilities of the holes populating the spin-split subbands arising from the lack of inversion symmetry in these structures.

description: Efficient quality control is inevitable in the manufacturing of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Because defective LED chips may be traced back to different causes, a time and cost-intensive electrical and optical contact measurement is employed. Fast photoluminescence measurements, on the other hand, are commonly used to detect wafer separation damages but also hold the potential to enable an efficient detection of all kinds of defective LED chips. On a photoluminescence image, every pixel corresponds to an LED chip's brightness after photoexcitation, revealing performance information. But due to unevenly distributed brightness values and varying defect patterns, photoluminescence images are not yet employed for a comprehensive defect detection. In this work, we show that fully convolutional networks can be used for chip-wise defect detection, trained on a small data-set of photoluminescence images. Pixel-wise labels allow us to classify each and every chip as defective or not. Being measurement-based, labels are easy to procure and our experiments show that existing discrepancies between training images and labels do not hinder network training. Using weighted loss calculation, we were able to equalize our highly unbalanced class categories. Due to the consistent use of skip connections and residual shortcuts, our network is able to predict a variety of structures, from extensive defect clusters up to single defective LED chips.

description: Η προπόνηση προετοιμασίας πριν την αγωνιστική περίοδο αποτελεί μία διαδικασία την οποία αναγνωρίζουν και αξιοποιούν όλες οι ποδοσφαιρικές ομάδες που αγωνίζονται σε επαγγελματικό επίπεδο υψηλής κατηγορίας. Ειδικότερα, αρκετοί είναι εκείνοι οι οποίο προσπαθούν να εκμεταλλευτούν το διάστημα μεταξύ δύο αγωνιστικών περιόδων με γνώμονα την κάλυψη των αναγκών και των απαιτήσεων των ποδοσφαιρικών ομάδων και τη βελτίωση της ποιότητας, της τακτικής και της αντοχής των ποδοσφαιριστών. Παρά τη σημασία αυτού του ζητήματος η βιβλιογραφία σε διεθνές αλλά και σε εγχώριο επίπεδο δεν έχει αφιερώσει αρκετό χώρο και χρόνο για τη μελέτη του. Τα οφέλη αυτής της μορφής της προπόνησης μπορούν να φανούν σε όρους απόδοσης των ποδοσφαιρικών ομάδων και των παιχτών μεμονωμένα αλλά και στον περιορισμό των τραυματισμών κατά την έναρξη της κανονικής αγωνιστικής περιόδου. Μετά τη μελέτη της διαθέσιμης βιβλιογραφίας τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η προπόνηση προετοιμασίας πριν την αγωνιστική περίοδο έχει πολύ σημαντικές θετικές επιπτώσεις στην απόδοση των ομάδων και των ποδοσφαιριστών. Συγκεκριμένα, για τους τελευταίους έχει αποδειχθεί ότι μπορεί να διατηρείται ή να βελτιώνεται σημαντικά το επίπεδο της αντοχής τους. Τέλος, τα ευρήματα αυτής της μελέτης έδειξαν ότι αυτή η μορφή της προπόνησης μπορεί να οδηγήσει ακόμη και στη μείωση της πιθανότητας τραυματισμών των επαγγελματιών ποδοσφαιριστών υψηλής κατηγορίας τόσο σε συχνότητα όσο και σε σοβαρότητα
description: Pre-season training is a process that is recognized and used by all elite football teams. In particular, there are many who try to take advantage of the interval between two seasons in order to meet the needs and requirements of football teams and improve the quality, tactics and endurance of players. Despite the importance of this issue, the bibliography internationally and domestically has not devoted enough space and time to its study. The benefits of this type of training can be seen in terms of performance of football teams and players individually but also in reducing injuries at the start of the regular season. After studying the available literature, the results showed that pre-season training has a very significant positive effect on the performance of teams and players. In particular, for the latter it has been shown that their level of endurance can be maintained or significantly improved. Finally, the findings of this study showed that this form of training can even lead to a reduction in the likelihood of injury to professional footballers in both frequency and severity

description: Technological diffusion is a crucial means for technological innovation, and, at the same time, constitutes a feedback system along with technological development. Main results of the study are as follows. Firstly, various programs on technology education and training needs to be expanded. Secondly, through realistic reset of technology fees, research agencies and researchers can be motivated and re-investment be possible. Thirdly and finally, those technologies which have been accepted by the policy-makers and society are required to be systematically re-assessed, and more chances for press notice, explanation meeting, and exhibition of new technologies are provided. For these results to be effective, it is required to introduce a new management system which directs itself toward more diffusion of technology into the current research management system. Future approach to research results should be a “result diffusion oriented" one to the contrast of current” performance management-oriented" one.

Atomic Deuterium/Hydrogen in the Galaxy

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An accurate value of the deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratio in the local interstellar medium (LISM) and a better understanding of the D/H variations with position in the Galactic disk can provide essential information on the primordial D/H ratio in the Galaxy at the time of the protosolar nebula, and the amount of astration and mixing in the Galaxy over time. Recent measurements have been obtained with UV spectrographs on FUSE, HST, and IMAPS using hot white dwarfs, OB stars, and late-type stars as background light sources against which to measure absorption by D and H in the interstellar medium along the lines of sight. Recent analyses of FUSE observations of seven white dwarfs and subdwarfs provide a weighted mean value of D/H = (1.52 +/- 0.08) 10(-5) (15.2 +/- 0.8 ppm), consistent with the value of (1.50 +/- 0.10) 10(-5) (15.0 +/- 1.0 ppm) obtained from analysis of lines of sight toward nearby late-type stars. Both numbers refer to the ISM within about 100 pc of the Sun, which samples warm clouds located within the Local Bubble. Outside of the Local Bubble at distances of 200 to 500 pc, analyses of far-UV spectra obtained with IMAPS indicate a much wider range of D/H ratios between 0.8 to 2.2 ppm, providing information on inhomogeneous astration in the Galactic disk.
