description: Farmer cooperative managers and directors were contracted to determine their perspectives of the cooperative environment. Special emphasis was given to assessing their perceptions of division of responsibility between management and the board of directors, the importance of cooperative principles to the operation and success of their firms, and their knowledge and capabilities in business decision-making and financial analysis. Both groups showed strong support for most traditional cooperative principles and performance scores were consistent for finance and decision making areas. However, managers showed they understood and carried out their areas of responsibility better than directors. Self-assessments were higher for managers and consistent with performance measures. Additional training in financial analysis, strategic planning, and proper roles for managers and directors seemed warranted.

description: Cache randomization has recently been revived as a promising defense against conflict-based cache side-channel attacks. As two of the latest implementations, CEASER-S and ScatterCache both claim to thwart conflict-based cache side-channel attacks using randomized skewed caches. Unfortunately, our experiments show that an attacker can easily find a usable eviction set within the chosen remap period of CEASER-S and increasing the number of partitions without dynamic remapping, such as ScatterCache, cannot eliminate the threat. By quantitatively analyzing the access patterns left by various attacks in the LLC, we have newly discovered several problems with the hypotheses and implementations of randomized caches, which are also overlooked by the research on conflict-based cache side-channel attack. However, cache randomization is not a false hope and it is an effective defense that should be widely adopted in future processors. The newly discovered problems are corresponding to flaws associated with the existing implementation of cache randomization and are fixable. Several new defense techniques are proposed in this paper. our experiments show that all the newly discovered vulnerabilities of existing randomized caches are fixed within the current performance budget. We also argue that randomized set-associative caches can be sufficiently strengthened and possess a better chance to be actually adopted in commercial processors than their skewed counterparts as they introduce less overhaul to the existing cache structure.

description: The effective interaction between two probe particles in a one-dimensional driven system is studied. The analysis is carried out using an asymmetric simple exclusion process with nearest-neighbor interactions. It is found that the driven fluid mediates an effective long-range attraction between the two probes, with a force that decays at large distances x as -b/x, where b is a function of the interaction parameters. Depending on the amplitude b the two probes may form one of three states: (a) an unbound state, where the distance grows diffusively with time; (b) a weakly bound state, in which the distance grows sub-diffusively; and (c) a strongly bound state, where the average distance stays finite in the long time limit. Similar results are found for the behavior of any finite number of probes.

description: This paper presents a new Python software for the parametric design of stabilizing feedback laws with time delays, called Partial Pole Placement via Delay Action (P3$δ$). After an introduction recalling recent theoretical results on the multiplicity-induced-dominancy (MID) and coexisting real roots-induced-dominancy (CRRID) properties and their use for the feedback stabilization of control systems operating under time delays, the paper presents the current version of P3$δ$, which relies on the MID property to compute delayed stabilizing feedback laws for scalar differential equations with a single delay. We detail in particular its graphical user interface (GUI), which allows the user to input the necessary information and obtain the results of the analysis done by the software. These results include the parameters stabilizing the closed-loop system, graphical representations of the spectrum of the closed-loop system, simulations of solutions in the time domain, and a sensitivity analysis with respect to uncertain delays.

description: In the popular press and in cooperative boardrooms there are discussions about member commitment. Since they are formed to enhance members’ well being, member commitment is an important issue for cooperatives. Cooperative communication strategies may influence member commitment, and these strategies are under the direct control of cooperatives. This study of Minnesota and Wisconsin cooperatives focuses on two questions: (1) do communications influence a member’s commitment to their cooperative, and (2) do different segments of the cooperative community respond differently to different communication approaches. Our results suggest that the answer to both questions is yes.

description: While policies define minimum farm-level milk prices based on end use, milk for fluid consumption is often priced above these minimums even in the presence of excess fluid quality milk. Cooperative action through marketing agencies-in-common facilities these over-order premiums. We examined the premiums that resulted from voluntary agreements in Michigan. The premiums enhanced farm price and offset minimum price variation. A critical consideration is the distribution of premiums across participants. Formal policies like state marketing orders and compacts may replace or complement voluntary premium agreements. As a replacement, these formal policies trade off flexibility in both premium level and distribution for stability.

description: The upgrade of the HERA accelerator has provided much increased collider luminosity. In turn, the improvements have necessitated a new design for the ZEUS luminosity measurements. The intense synchrotron radiation field, as well as the high probability of a bremsstrahlung photon in each bunch crossing, posed new experimental constraints. In this report, we describe how these challenges were met with the ZEUS luminosity spectrometer system. The design, testing and commissioning of the device are described, and the results from the initial operational experience are reported.

description: Los conflictos, hasta hace algunos años estudiados desde una connotación negativa como producto de un problema, riña o agresión han ido paulatinamente cambiando y enmarcándose en un enfoque moderno y positivo, en donde especialmente en las organizaciones es asumido como algo natural e inevitable que se tiene que aceptar, manejar y solucionar sintetizando siempre los aspectos más positivos del mismo. El objetivo estuvo encaminado a analizar las oportunidades educativas que surgen del conflicto escolar y cómo éstas favorecen la construcción de relaciones de convivencia, ofreciendo un marco de reflexión para tratar constructivamente el conflicto escolar, modificando las prácticas cotidianas de asumirlo que impiden o afectan procesos saludables de crecimiento personal. El tipo de investigación es cualitativa, el cual favoreció descubrir, profundizar y enriquecer la comprensión de situaciones sociales relevantes en la realidad investigada buscando significados atribuidos por los propios protagonistas. Entre los resultados se encuentra que los estudiantes que han asumido significativamente sus conflictos crecen integralmente, mientras que quienes lo resuelven de manera disfuncional generalmente rompen relaciones y sufren afectaciones emocionales. Una de las conclusiones indica que las oportunidades educativas que surgen del conflicto escolar se establecen en correspondencia a la inteligencia emocional que desarrolla una persona.
Statistical Detection of IGM Structures during Cosmic Reionization using Absorption of the Redshifted 21 cm line by HI against Compact Background Radio Sources

description: Detecting neutral hydrogen structures in the intergalactic medium (IGM) during cosmic reionization via absorption (21 cm forest) against a background radiation is considered independent and complementary to the three-dimensional tomography and power spectrum techniques. The direct detection of this absorption requires very bright ($\gtrsim 10$-100 mJy) background sources at high redshifts ($z\gtrsim 8$), which are evidently rare; very long times of integration; or instruments of very high sensitivity. This motivates a statistical one-dimensional (1D) power spectrum approach along narrow sightlines but with fainter background objects ($\sim 1$-10 mJy), which are likely to be more abundant and significant contributors at high redshifts. The 1D power spectrum reduces cosmic variance and improves sensitivity especially on small spatial scales. Using standard radiative transfer and fiducial models for the instrument, the background sources, and the evolution of IGM structures during cosmic reionization, the potential of the 1D power spectrum along selected narrow directions is investigated against uncertainties from thermal noise and the chromatic synthesized point spread function (PSF) response. Minimum requirements on the number of high-redshift background sources, the telescope sensitivity, and the PSF quality are estimated for a range of instrumental, background source, and reionization model parameters. The 1D power spectrum is intrinsically stronger at higher redshifts. A $\sim 1000$ hr observing campaign targeting $\sim 100$ narrow sightlines to radio-faint, high-redshift background objects with modern radio telescopes, especially the Square Kilometre Array, can detect the 1D power spectrum on a range of spatial scales and redshifts, and potentially discriminate between models of cosmic reionization.

description: Concolic testing is a popular software verification technique based on a combination of concrete and symbolic execution. Its main focus is finding bugs and generating test cases with the aim of maximizing code coverage. A previous approach to concolic testing in logic programming was not sound because it only dealt with positive constraints (by means of substitutions) but could not represent negative constraints. In this paper, we present a novel framework for concolic testing of CLP programs that generalizes the previous technique. In the CLP setting, one can represent both positive and negative constraints in a natural way, thus giving rise to a sound and (potentially) more efficient technique. Defining verification and testing techniques for CLP programs is increasingly relevant since this framework is becoming popular as an intermediate representation to analyze programs written in other programming paradigms.

The truth and death of indexicality : subtitle photography, philosophy and cinema
Creators: name: Pettit, Katherine V.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis traces the complicated and contradictory historical ontology of photography by examining the myths of truth and death that surround the medium. Multiple examples from contemporary narrative cinema of diverse nations, time periods and genres are used to elucidate the theoretical and philosophical issues that photography attracts. In the first half of this thesis, the "truth" of photography's indexicality is evaluated. In Chapter 1, the myth of truth is discussed within the context of the historical development of realism. Realism and "truth" are shown to be mythical constructions, which is demonstrated by the selected films that focus on the personal use of photography. Chapter 2 examines the use of photography as an institutional tool of power. The films of this chapter show that power and corruption can be synonymous. In Chapter 3, the multiple associations of death that surround photography are discussed. The indexicality of photography is shown to occupy a temporal death. In Chapter 4, the structural differences and similarities between photography and film are raised within the context of spectatorship. Finally, Chapter 5 examines the representation of death in photographic content. The Victorian craze for spirit and post-mortem photography reveals the strong preoccupation in that society with immortality. In sum, it is the integral characteristic of indexicality that both prevents photography from possessing an autonomous and singular identity while permitting the medium to have multiple meanings in diverse contexts.

description: We present the production cross section for a lepton-neutrino pair at the Large Hadron Collider computed at next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N3LO) in QCD perturbation theory. We compute the partonic coefficient functions of a virtual $W^{\pm}$ boson at this order. We then use these analytic functions to study the progression of the perturbative series in different observables. In particular, we investigate the impact of the newly obtained corrections on the inclusive production cross section of $W^{\pm}$ bosons, as well as on the ratios of the production cross sections for $W^+$, $W^-$ and/or a virtual photon. Finally, we present N3LO predictions for the charge asymmetry at the LHC.

This shows that the Bers-Sullivan-Thurston density conjecture follows from Marden's conjecture proved by Agol, Calegari-Gabai combined with Thurston's uniformisation theorem and the ending lamination conjecture proved by Minsky, partially collaborating with Masur, Brock and Canary.

description: Precision technologies are now well-integrated into the agricultural industry – both at the farm level and at the crop input dealer level. No longer are crop input dealers only using the technologies to bring new services to their customers, they are also utilizing the technology in their own businesses to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. In early 2008, Crop Life magazine and Purdue University’s Center for Food and Agricultural Business conducted a survey for the 13th consecutive year to assess the adoption of precision agriculture practices in the U.S. from the perspective of the retail crop input dealer. The questionnaire was mailed to 2500 retail crop input dealerships across the U.S. A total of 298 questionnaires were returned, with 275 being usable providing an effective response rate of 11 percent. Consistent with previous surveys, dealers were asked questions about the types of precision services they offer and/or use in their businesses, the fees they are charging for precision services, how their customers are adopting precision agriculture practices, and how profitable they are finding precision services to be in their businesses. Key findings include: 1) 61% of the dealers surveyed offered some type of precision service, down from 67% in 2006; 2) locations owned by cooperatives and regional/national organizations were much more likely to offer precision services relative to independent locations; 3) 43% of the respondents believe they make a profit on their precision service offerings, while some 30% believe they breakeven, covering only the fixed and variable costs of offering the services; and 4) dealers continue to expect growth in precision services, and this growth is more substantial in the Midwest relative to other states.

description: Generative models and inferential autoencoders mostly make use of $\ell_2$ norm in their optimization objectives. In order to generate perceptually better images, this short paper theoretically discusses how to use Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) in generative models and inferential autoencoders. We first review SSIM, SSIM distance metrics, and SSIM kernel. We show that the SSIM kernel is a universal kernel and thus can be used in unconditional and conditional generated moment matching networks. Then, we explain how to use SSIM distance in variational and adversarial autoencoders and unconditional and conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). Finally, we propose to use SSIM distance rather than $\ell_2$ norm in least squares GAN.

description: As a result of problems associated with high machinery costs, farmers in the United States are examining group-farming arrangements that permit them to share machinery and labor. While group-farming arrangements are more frequent elsewhere, they are infrequent in the United States. The purpose of this research was to determine which social, cultural, economic, and farm structural characteristics influence farmers to support sharing machinery or labor. The results of the one-way analysis of variance indicated that those who rent more land, have more education, are slightly older, and are more involved in cooperatives would be more willing to share machinery or labor. Finally, in a logistic regression procedure, only acres rented, education, and cooperative involvement significantly predicted willingness to share labor or machinery.

description: Consolidation has been a trend among local cooperatives for most of the past century. Earlier studies show that these cooperatives face size-related economies and that consolidation is to be expected as cooperatives seek to improve their efficiency and competitiveness. In this article we revisit the question using data from 377 local cooperative associations in operation during the 1990s. Methods involve using nonparametric cost frontiers that enable us to distinguish the effects of scale inefficiency from other production inefficiencies. Our results suggest that many local cooperatives are at or near an efficient scale of operation.
Bilarge neutrino mixing from supersymmetry with high-scale nonrenormalizable interactions

description: We suggest a supersymmetric (SUSY) explanation of neutrino masses and mixing, where nonrenormalizable interactions in the hidden sector generate lepton number violating Majorana mass terms for both right-chiral sneutrinos and neutrinos. It is found necessary to start with a superpotential including an array of gauge singlet chiral superfields. This leads to nondiagonal $ΔL = 2$ mass terms and almost diagonal SUSY breaking $A$-terms. As a result, the observed pattern of bilarge mixing can be naturally explained by the simultaneous existence of the seesaw mechanism and radiatively induced masses. Allowed ranges of parameters in the gauge singlet sector are delineated, corresponding to each of the cases of normal hierarchy, inverted hierarchy and degenerate neutrinos.

description: A systematic analysis of the characteristics of cooperatives reveals many capacities that recommend them as appropriate vehicles for sustainable development. Cooperatives offer advantages as rooted, socially embedded, patient capital and as organizations that promote partnerships, coordinated action, and capacity building. Given changes in the operating environment, the explicit adoption of eco-social agendas can contribute to co-op viability and vitality, providing a basis for positive differentiation and for stronger ties to important constituencies, stakeholders, and strategic allies. Given their capacities as organizations and enterprises, it is argued that co-ops can also contribute to new identify formation and to transformative social change.

description: Evolution of variability properties of Galactic transient sources is a diagnostic tool to understand various regimes of the accretion flow and its dynamics close to the central black hole. In this paper, we concentrate on the variability properties of the X-ray transient XTE J1650-500 and investigate the evolution of viscous delay, time lag, QPO frequency, and their energy dependence throughout the rising phase as observed by RXTE during its outburst in 2001. Our analysis reveals (1) a delay of 12 \pm 1 days between one day averaged hard (5-12 keV) and soft (1.5-3 keV) photon light-curves as observed by RXTE/ASM; (2) QPOs with high rms values are observed in lower energy (4-8 keV) range; (3) the QPO frequencies and associated time lags were anti-correlated during the initial days of the rising phase, and later on, they were found to be correlated; (4) the time lags of iron line photons with respect to hard and soft photons remained almost constant during the initial days of hard state and the lag magnitude increased during the state transition. We perform comparative studies with outbursts of GX 339-4 and XTE J1550-564. We find the evolution of time lags associated with the QPO characteristics during the outburst - stronger QPOs at low energy, and constant lags of broad Fe-line photons present a unique nature of outburst profile in XTE J1650-500. The possible cause of such variabilities is explained by considering disk-jet geometry closer to the central black hole.

If there are economies of size in processing, a cooperatively organized processing industry may be socially preferable when compared to an investor-owned processor with monopsony power. This study investigates whether cost structure can be used as an efficiency argument for the cooperative dairy industry in Sweden. The results indicate economies of size in milk processing and, accordingly, marketing cooperatives appear to be a socially efficient form of business organization.

description: The semiconductor-semiconductor transition of La2RuO5 is studied by means of augmented spherical wave (ASW) electronic structure calculations as based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. This transition has lately been reported to lead to orbital ordering and a quenching of the local spin magnetic moment. Our results hint towards an orbital ordering scenario which, markedly different from the previously proposed scheme, preserves the local S = 1 moment at the Ru sites in the low-temperature phase. The unusual magnetic behaviour is interpreted by the formation of spin-ladders, which result from the structural changes occurring at the transition and are characterized by antiferromagnetic coupling along the rungs.

description: The Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) formalism is steadily asserting itself as a new efficient and accurate tool in the ensemble of computational methods available to chemists in order to predict optical excitations in molecular systems. In particular, the combination of the so-called $GW$ approximation, giving access to reliable ionization energies and electron affinities, and the BSE formalism, able to model UV/Vis spectra, has shown to provide accurate singlet excitation energies with a typical error of $0.1$--$0.3$ eV. With a similar computational cost as time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT), BSE is able to provide an accuracy on par with the most accurate global and range-separated hybrid functionals without the unsettling choice of the exchange-correlation functional, resolving further known issues (\textit{e.g.}, charge-transfer excitations). In this \textit{Perspective} article, we provide a historical overview of BSE, with a particular focus on its condensed-matter roots. We also propose a critical review of its strengths and weaknesses in different chemical situations.

description: Machine learning has been getting a large attention in the recent years, as a tool to process big data generated by ubiquitous sensors in our daily life. High speed, low energy computing machines are in demand to enable real-time artificial intelligence at the edge, i.e., without the support of a remote frame server in the cloud. Such requirements challenge the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, which is limited by the Moore's law approaching its end and the communication bottleneck in conventional computing architecture. Novel computing concepts, architectures and devices are thus strongly needed to accelerate data-intensive applications. Here we show a crosspoint resistive memory circuit with feedback configuration can execute linear regression and logistic regression in just one step by computing the pseudoinverse matrix of the data within the memory. The most elementary learning operation, that is the regression of a sequence of data and the classification of a set of data, can thus be executed in one single computational step by the novel technology. One-step learning is further supported by simulations of the prediction of the cost of a house in Boston and the training of a 2-layer neural network for MNIST digit recognition. The results are all obtained in one computational step, thanks to the physical, parallel, and analog computing within the crosspoint array.

Beyond the sphericity assumption in dynamical HI models

description: It is generally agreed that the rotational velocities of spiral galaxies indicate that a lot of matter is unseen. Hitherto, the majority of these mass models are all based on spherical symmetry, although this assumption is obviously not the one that is closest to reality. We present a new method to derive dynamical mass models from HI-data based on an axisymmetric geometry. To validate our method, we started a project with the aim to create such models from a combined sample of late-type Low Surface Brightness galaxies and early-type High Surface Brightness spiral galaxies. The whole sample spans a wide range of bulge-to-disk ratios and will ultimately allow us to investigate the orbital distribution as a function of morphology.
