Year: 1972
Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: The use of a linear programming model for the determination of least-cost feed mixes for the drought maintenance of dry adult sheep is reported in this paper. A ration is suggested whereby sheep can be fully maintained at an approximate cost of one cent per head per day, representing a considerable reduction in the cost of feeding by the currently recommended standards. The importance of including the mineral additives, salt, sulphur and calcium is stressed throughout.

description: This paper investigates the relationship between the cost of producing wheat and the size of the wheat enterprise on farms in the Boolooroo Shire of New South Wales. The impact of seasonal variation and new technology on the cost/size relationship is also examined. The estimated longrun cost functions suggest that significant cost economies may be achieved as the area sown to wheat on a farm in the region concerned is increased to approximately 1,000 acres.

description: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are effective in many applications. Still, there is a limited understanding of the effect of common graph structures on the learning process of GNNs. In this work, we systematically study the impact of community structure on the performance of GNNs in semi-supervised node classification on graphs. Following an ablation study on six datasets, we measure the performance of GNNs on the original graphs, and the change in performance in the presence and the absence of community structure. Our results suggest that communities typically have a major impact on the learning process and classification performance. For example, in cases where the majority of nodes from one community share a single classification label, breaking up community structure results in a significant performance drop. On the other hand, for cases where labels show low correlation with communities, we find that the graph structure is rather irrelevant to the learning process, and a feature-only baseline becomes hard to beat. With our work, we provide deeper insights in the abilities and limitations of GNNs, including a set of general guidelines for model selection based on the graph structure.

Bounding the finite-size error of quantum many-body dynamics simulations

description: Finite-size error (FSE), the discrepancy between an observable in a finite system and in the thermodynamic limit, is ubiquitous in numerical simulations of quantum many body systems. Although a rough estimate of these errors can be obtained from a sequence of finite-size results, a strict, quantitative bound on the magnitude of FSE is still missing. Here we derive rigorous upper bounds on the FSE of local observables in real time quantum dynamics simulations initialized from a product state. In $d$-dimensional locally interacting systems with a finite local Hilbert space, our bound implies $ |\langle \hat{S}(t)\rangle_L-\langle \hat{S}(t)\rangle_\infty|\leq C(2v t/L)^{cL-μ}$, with $v$, $C$, $c$, $μ$ constants independent of $L$ and $t$, which we compute explicitly. For periodic boundary conditions (PBC), the constant $c$ is twice as large as that for open boundary conditions (OBC), suggesting that PBC have smaller FSE than OBC at early times. The bound can be generalized to a large class of correlated initial states as well. As a byproduct, we prove that the FSE of local observables in ground state simulations decays exponentially with $L$, under a suitable spectral gap condition. Our bounds are practically useful in determining the validity of finite-size results, as we demonstrate in simulations of the one-dimensional (1D) quantum Ising and Fermi-Hubbard models.
Stochastic Gradient Descent Meets Distribution Regression

description: Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) provides a simple and efficient way to solve a broad range of machine learning problems. Here, we focus on distribution regression (DR), involving two stages of sampling: Firstly, we regress from probability measures to real-valued responses. Secondly, we sample bags from these distributions for utilizing them to solve the overall regression problem. Recently, DR has been tackled by applying kernel ridge regression and the learning properties of this approach are well understood. However, nothing is known about the learning properties of SGD for two stage sampling problems. We fill this gap and provide theoretical guarantees for the performance of SGD for DR. Our bounds are optimal in a mini-max sense under standard assumptions.
Moduli Spaces of Gauge Theories from Dimer Models: Proof of the Correspondence

description: Recently, a new way of deriving the moduli space of quiver gauge theories that arise on the world-volume of D3-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau cones was conjectured. According to the proposal, the gauge group, matter content and tree-level superpotential of the gauge theory is encoded in a periodic tiling, the dimer graph. The conjecture provides a simple procedure for determining the moduli space of the gauge theory in terms of perfect matchings. For gauge theories described by periodic quivers that can be embedded on a two-dimensional torus, we prove the equivalence between the determination of the toric moduli space with a gauged linear sigma model and the computation of the Newton polygon of the characteristic polynomial of the dimer model. We show that perfect matchings are in one-to-one correspondence with fields in the linear sigma model. Furthermore, we prove that the position in the toric diagram of every sigma model field is given by the slope of the height function of the corresponding perfect matching.

Performative pedagogy : writing choreographically a dance space of imaginings
Creators: name: Giard, Marie Annette Monique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Performative Pedagogy is a philosophical essay on dance telling of the necessity to reintegrate dance in the curriculum as well as a performative inquiry that recognizes space-moments of learning realized through performance. Dance/tool of exploration/research is the integration of multiple layers of understandings, intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual, in the absence of word and the presence of silence. This text is a creative response to researchers seeking a legitimate space of recognition for our arts-based processes. Writing choreographically is the integration of phenomenology of kinaesthetic consciousness, hermeneutics, and the not yet known in a moment of imagining. Text sometimes linear, sometimes not, inter-danced with personal photographs, autobiographical narratives, poetry, dancing on the page, exploring a space moment of imagining with you. I explore concepts such as "embodied awareness", "thinking in movement", "voice of the soul", "intentional rhythm", and "language" using a methodology of performative inquiry. Writing choreographically a dance space of imagining invites the reader in a historical journey of dance, from Ruth St-Denis, Isadora Duncan and Mary Wigman to post-modernists Merce Cunningham, Yvonne Rainer, the Grand Union, and Canadian choreographers Francoise Sullivan, Jennifer Mascall, Chick Snipper, and Daniel Soulieres and myself, blurring the boundaries between dancers, choreographers, viewers, as well as between the mediums. This historical movement creates an opportunity for readers to question their own inquiry in dance. Performative Pedagogy: Writing choreographically a dance space of imaginings is an artistic adventure inviting you to re-create meaning within this performative inquiry the same way a spectactor would during a dance performance. Through the explorations of danced moments into the unknown, we may offer pedagogical possibilities.
The Michelson and Morley 1887 Experiment and the Discovery of Absolute Motion
Creators: name: Cahill, Reginald T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Physics textbooks assert that in the famous interferometer 1887 experiment to detect absolute motion Michelson and Morley saw no rotation-induced fringe shifts - the signature of absolute motion; it was a null experiment. However this is incorrect. Their published data revealed to them the expected fringe shifts, but that data gave a speed of some 8km/s using a Newtonian theory for the calibration of the interferometer, and so was rejected by them solely because it was less than the 30km/s orbital speed of the earth. A 2002 post relativistic-effects analysis for the operation of the device however gives a different calibration leading to a speed >300km/s. So this experiment detected both absolute motion and the breakdown of Newtonian physics. So far another six experiments have confirmed this first detection of absolute motion in 1887.

description: The exact study of small systems can guide us toward measures for extracting information about many-body physics as we move to more complex systems capable of quantum information processing or quantum analog simulation. We use exact diagonalization to study many electrons in short 1-D atom chains represented by long-range extended Hubbard-like models. We introduce a novel measure, the Single-Particle Excitation Content (SPEC) of an eigenstate and show that the dependence of SPEC on state number reveals the nature of the ground state, and the onset and saturation of correlation between the electrons as Coulomb interaction strength increases. We use this SPEC behavior to identify five regimes as interaction is increased: a non-interacting single-particle regime, a regime of perturbative Coulomb interaction in which the SPEC is a nearly universal function of state number, the onset and saturation of correlation, a regime of fully correlated states in which hopping is a perturbation and SPEC is a different universal function of state number, and the regime of no hopping. In particular, the behavior of the SPEC shows that when electron-electron correlation plays a minor role, all of the lowest energy states are made up primarily of single-particle excitations of the ground state, and as the Coulomb interaction increases, the lowest energy states increasingly contain many-particle excitations. In addition, the SPEC highlights a fundamental, distinct difference between a non-interacting system and one with minute, very weak interactions. While SPEC is a quantity that can be calculated for small exactly diagonalizable systems, it guides our intuition for larger systems, suggesting the nature of excitations and their distribution in the spectrum. Thus, this function, like correlation functions or order parameters, provides us with a window of intuition about the behavior of a physical system.

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Recently, Gaiotto, Strominger and Yin have proposed a holographic dual description for the near-horizon physics of certain N=2 black holes in terms of the superconformal quantum mechanics on D0-branes in the attractor geometry. We provide further evidence for their proposal by applying it to the case of `small' black holes which have vanishing horizon area in the leading supergravity approximation. We consider 2-charge black holes in type IIA on $T^2 \times M$, where $M$ can be either $K_3$ or $T^4$, made up out of D0-branes and D4-branes wrapping $M$. We construct the corresponding superconformal quantum mechanics and show that the asymptotic growth of chiral primaries exactly matches with the known entropy of these black holes. The state-counting problem reduces to counting lowest Landau levels on $T^2$ and Dolbeault cohomology classes on $M$.

description: The review introduces the history of cryptocurrencies, offering a description of the blockchain technology behind them. Differences between cryptocurrencies and the exchanges on which they are traded have been shown. The central part surveys the analysis of cryptocurrency price changes on various platforms. The statistical properties of the fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market have been compared to the traditional markets. With the help of the latest statistical physics methods the non-linear correlations and multiscale characteristics of the cryptocurrency market are analyzed. In the last part the co-evolution of the correlation structure among the 100 cryptocurrencies having the largest capitalization is retraced. The detailed topology of cryptocurrency network on the Binance platform from bitcoin perspective is also considered. Finally, an interesting observation on the Covid-19 pandemic impact on the cryptocurrency market is presented and discussed: recently we have witnessed a "phase transition" of the cryptocurrencies from being a hedge opportunity for the investors fleeing the traditional markets to become a part of the global market that is substantially coupled to the traditional financial instruments like the currencies, stocks, and commodities. The main contribution is an extensive demonstration that structural self-organization in the cryptocurrency markets has caused the same to attain complexity characteristics that are nearly indistinguishable from the Forex market at the level of individual time-series. However, the cross-correlations between the exchange rates on cryptocurrency platforms differ from it. The cryptocurrency market is less synchronized and the information flows more slowly, which results in more frequent arbitrage opportunities. The methodology used in the review allows the latter to be detected, and lead-lag relationships to be discovered.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of video-modeling on engagement of a student with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This was a six-week case study broken down into three cycles that measured the number of prompts as well as the amount of time a student with ASD required to complete a vocational task. After initial baseline data was collected, video-modeling was introduced using an iPad. The student then used video-modeling to assist with completion of three different vocational tasks. The researcher used a data-collection chart to record the number of prompts and total time the student required each day. The findings revealed that engagement was slightly higher at the end of each cycle when compared with engagement at the beginning of each cycle. The use of video-modeling benefitted the participant in this study, but investigations should continue with a larger group.

description: Supermassive black holes have been discovered at the centers of galaxies, and also in globular clusters. The data shows correlations between the black hole mass and the elliptical galaxy mass or globular cluster mass. It is shown that this correlation is accurately predicted by a theory of gravity which includes the new dynamics of self-interacting space. In spiral galaxies this dynamics is shown to explain the so-called `dark matter' rotation-curve anomaly, and also explains the earth based bore-hole g anomaly data. Together these effects imply that the strength of the self-interaction dynamics is determined by the fine structure constant. This has major implications for fundamental physics and cosmology.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Skillstreaming lessons on the amount of conflict recorded by middle school students. The measurement tool used was a data collection sheet where the students recorded the number of conflicts encountered for a total of four weeks, two weeks before and after the Skillstreaming lessons. This study was pre-experimental using a one group pretest posttest design. There was no significant difference between the mean number of conflicts per student before Skillstreaming and after Skillstreaming. Although there is significant research in this area, it should be extended understanding that conflict is ever-changing.

description: Advertising wearout, defined as the declining effectiveness of a commercial or campaign associated with increased exposure, is examined from a generic advertising perspective. Generic advertising campaigns of the type typically undertaken by agricultural commodity groups differ from branded advertising in that the former seek to increase aggregate demand for a product category (e.g., beef, milk, wool) rather than the market share of a particular brand within a category. A major hypothesis addressed in this research is whether generic campaigns are subject to the same generation-satiation-decay cycles found for the more typical brand advertising campaigns. The hypothesis is examined by estimating a time-varying parameter model using data from the first fourteen years of an advertising campaign for fluid milk. Results suggest that the cycles predicted by wearout theory do exist in the case of specific generic thematic appeals. However, other phenomenon, such as a "learning curve" on the part of campaign managers, may be more important in explaining overall changes in effectiveness of generic advertising campaigns over time.

description: Iterative gradient-based algorithms have been increasingly applied for the training of a broad variety of machine learning models including large neural-nets. In particular, momentum-based methods, with accelerated learning guarantees, have received a lot of attention due to their provable guarantees of fast learning in certain classes of problems and multiple algorithms have been derived. However, properties for these methods hold only for constant regressors. When time-varying regressors occur, which is commonplace in dynamic systems, many of these momentum-based methods cannot guarantee stability. Recently, a new High-order Tuner (HT) was developed for linear regression problems and shown to have 1) stability and asymptotic convergence for time-varying regressors and 2) non-asymptotic accelerated learning guarantees for constant regressors. In this paper, we extend and discuss the results of this same HT for general convex loss functions. Through the exploitation of convexity and smoothness definitions, we establish similar stability and asymptotic convergence guarantees. Finally, we provide numerical simulations supporting the satisfactory behavior of the HT algorithm as well as an accelerated learning property.

description: We present a spectroscopic study of the shape of the dust-extinction law between 1.0 and 2.2um towards a set of nine ultracompact HII regions with Av > 15 mag. We find some evidence that the reddening curve may tend to flatten at higher extinctions, but just over half of the sample has extinction consistent with or close to the average for the interstellar medium. There is no evidence of extinction curves significantly steeper than the standard law, even where water ice is present. Comparing the results to the predictions of a simple extinction model, we suggest that a standard extinction law implies a robust upper limit to the grain-size distribution at around 0.1 - 0.3um. Flatter curves are most likely due to changes in this upper limit, although the effects of flattening due to unresolved clumpy extinction cannot be ruled out.

description: This note is a comment on a recent article [Tsakmakidis, et al., Nat Commun 10 (2019)] that presents a thought-provoking proposal to overcome the bandwidth restrictions of invisibility cloaks based on using media that support superluminal (faster than light in free space) group and phase velocities. As illustrated in Fig. 1 of the original article, a wave packet propagating through such a fast-light cloak is alleged to be able to reach the side behind the cloaked object simultaneously with a corresponding wave packet propagating through the shorter, direct route in free space without the object, so that "no shadow or waveform distortion arises." As the authors claim, the "extra pathlength is balanced out by the correspondingly larger group velocity of the pulse in the cloak", which allows to "restore the incident field distribution all around the object in, both, amplitude and phase". This fast-light effect may be achieved in a broadband fashion using active (gain) materials. The authors claim that such a fast-light cloak can hide an object, even from time-of-flight detection techniques, and achieve invisibility "over any desired frequency band." We disagree with these claims and believe that a thorough clarification of the ideas put forward in the original article is important and necessary for the broad wave-physics community. Specifically, in this comment we clarify that invisibility cloaks based on fast-light media suffer from fundamental bandwidth restrictions that arise due to causality, the nature of superluminal wave propagation, and the stability issues of active systems. These limitations and issues were not addressed in [Tsakmakidis, et al., Nat Commun 10 (2019)]. Most importantly, we show that the material model considered in the original article is unphysical.

description: The period under review has been one of steady consolidation rather than spectacular change. The agricultural sector has accommodated itself to the deregulated environment and has indeed benefited from the macro-economic emphasis on stable exchange rates and low interest rates. Further reform of the state marketing boards has proceeded; the situation exacerbated by a failure of the Kiwifruit Marketing Board to control its payouts within current income. Over the period 1984 to 1993 there has been sustained growth in real net output of agriculture reflecting a considerable improvement in the use of resources. Incomes in the sheep and beef sector have been static in the period but not disastrous, and the dairy sector continues in a phase of steady growth in farmer incomes. Government and the public appear to Underestimate the economic performance of the agricultural sector.

description: Data journalism is the field of investigative journalism which focuses on digital data by treating them as first-class citizens. Following the trends in human activity, which leaves strong digital traces, data journalism becomes increasingly important. However, as the number and the diversity of data sources increase, heterogeneous data models with different structure, or even no structure at all, need to be considered in query answering. Inspired by our collaboration with Le Monde, a leading French newspaper, we designed a novel query algorithm for exploiting such heterogeneous corpora through keyword search. We model our underlying data as graphs and, given a set of search terms, our algorithm nds links between them within and across the heterogeneous datasets included in the graph. We draw inspiration from prior work on keyword search in structured and unstructured data, which we extend with the data heterogeneity dimension, which makes the keyword search problem computationally harder. We implement our algorithm and we evaluate its performance using synthetic and real-world datasets.

A Review of the Taxation of Property: Local Government Rates in Victoria 1
Creators: name: Johnson, David T.
name: Johnson, David T.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1993
Subjects: Financial Economics
Land Economics/Use

description: The paper reviews the taxation of property in Victoria and in particular the method of raising revenue for local government from rural landowners. A major contradiction between the apparent philosophical basis and its application is identified. A modification to the existing method of calculation is suggested based on the use value of rural land. The advantages and disadvantages of the use value modification are discussed and compared to the system of property taxes presently used. The use method system implies a changed incidence of tax on the three categories of taxpayer; farm, residential and commercial. The split between these categories for aggregations of local governments under the proposed situation and in the present situation is compared.

description: We derive the fractional generalization of the Ginzburg-Landau equation from the variational Euler-Lagrange equation for fractal media. To describe fractal media we use the fractional integrals considered as approximations of integrals on fractals. Some simple solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equation for fractal media are considered and different forms of the fractional Ginzburg-Landau equation or nonlinear Schrodinger equation with fractional derivatives are presented. The Agrawal variational principle and its generalization have been applied.

description: This paper examines the question of the likely effects on global forests of a further reduction in wood products tariffs including both solid wood products and pulp and paper, as has been proposed to the World Trade Organization (WTO) by the Asia Pacific Economic Community (APEC). The tariff reductions would be an extension of the tariff reductions associated with the Uruguay Round (Federal Register 1999). The questions include both how international trade is likely to change in response to further tariff reduction and also the implications for timber harvests and forests generally of such trade liberalization in the various forest regions. The paper finds that the evidence suggests further reductions in tariffs on forest products are likely to generate only very modest increases in worldwide trade and production, and the increased harvest pressures on forests due to tariff reduction should be quite modest. The major countries likely to experience export and production increases are found largely in the northern hemisphere and are likely to be able to facilitate additional harvests with minimal effects on the forests due to the modest nature of the impact, new forest practices laws, new forest set-asides, and movement toward improved practices designed to achieve multifaceted sustainable forestry. Furthermore, there is little reason to expect that tariff reductions will significantly increase harvests from tropical forests. Earlier tariff reductions appear to have had minimal impacts on tropical harvests or exports. Nevertheless, tropical forests will remain under deforestation pressure due to land conversion objectives, commonly to provide additional agricultural lands.
Enhanced violation of Leggett-Garg Inequality in three flavour neutrino oscillations via non-standard interactions

description: Neutrino oscillations occur due to non-zero masses and mixings and most importantly they are believed to maintain quantum coherence even over astrophysical length scales. In the present study, we explore the quantumness of three flavour neutrino oscillations by studying the extent of violation of Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGI) if non-standard interactions are taken into account. We report an enhancement in violation of LGI with respect to the standard scenario for appropriate choice of NSI parameters.

Like Minds? Two Perspectives on International Environmental Joint Efforts

description: International environmental cooperation efforts throw environmental professionals together to work, without considering the very different life experiences, legal traditions and cultural framework that each bring to the work. As the work they do together is inherently sensitive - often, the purpose is to write new laws or develop new policies for national application -- this failure explicitly to consider the perspectives of the professionals is puzzling. Two environmental lawyers-one American, one Hungarian-who worked together over the course of 18 months in an effort designed to breathe life into provisions of the Aarhus Convention by improving public access to environmental information held by government bodies, examine the nature and content of their communication, and how that affected their end product. This case study discloses that the authors had very different ideas about what needed to be accomplished in the project, indeed of the very purpose of tools for increasing environmental public participation. It suggests ways in which communication can be facilitated in future such efforts.
Ellipsometry noise spectrum, suspension transfer function measurement and closed-loop control of the suspension system in the Q & A experiment

description: The Q & A experiment, aiming at the detection of vacuum birefringence predicted by quantum electrodynamics, consists mainly of a suspended 3.5 m Fabry-Perot cavity, a rotating permanent dipole magnet and an ellipsometer. The 2.3 T magnet can rotate up to 10 rev/s, introducing an ellipticity signal at twice the rotation frequency. The X-pendulum gives a good isolation ratio for seismic noise above its main resonant frequency 0.3 Hz. At present, the ellipsometry noise decreases with frequency, from 1*10^{-5} rad Hz^{-1/2} at 5 Hz, 2*10^{-6} rad Hz^{-1/2} at 20 Hz to 5*10^{-7} rad Hz^{-1/2} at 40 Hz. The shape of the noise spectrum indicates possible improvement can be made by further reducing the movement between the cavity mirrors. From the preliminary result of yaw motion alignment control, it can be seen that some peaks due to yaw motion of the cavity mirror was suppressed. In this paper, we first give a schematic view of the Q & A experiment, and then present the measurement of transfer function of the compound X-pendulum-double pendulum suspension. A closed-loop control was carried out to verify the validity of the measured transfer functions. The ellipsometry noise spectra with and without yaw alignment control and the newest improvement is presented.

I’m in the real world : the interpretations of violent imagery in popular culture by adolescents
Creators: name: Coflin, Karen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research seeks to understand the interpretations of the violent imagery in popular culture by adolescents. Examples of television, movie and games were chosen by a group of nine secondary students and then discussed. Through the use of lists generated from surveys collected from a larger population the students involved in the focus group chose to view The Matrix and The Simpsons. These programs were then discussed at length in a variety of interview situations. Information concerning electronic games came out of the interviews as well. Interviews focused on the ways in which students interpreted the imagery in the context of the programs and their own lives. The results indicate that students are actively involved in constructing meaning in ways which are appropriate to them as well as indicating a consciousness of the contexts of the specific programs in relation to larger contexts of their own lives and society. For art educators this study has implications in relation to the acknowledgement of popular culture as a legitimate form of visual culture as well as advocating recognizing students expertise in relation to the forms of popular culture that interest them. With the recognition of this expertise art educators can initiate dialogue in order to create an environment where culture is shared and discussed and seen as a viable and exciting part of our lives.
