description: Uranus and Neptune form a distinct class of planets in our solar system. Given this fact, and ubiquity of similar-mass planets in other planetary systems, it is essential to understand their interior structure and composition. However, there are more open questions regarding these planets than answers. In this review we concentrate on the things we do not know about the interiors of Uranus and Neptune with a focus on why the planets may be different, rather than the same. We next summarize the knowledge about the planets' internal structure and evolution. Finally, we identify the topics that should be investigated further on the theoretical front as well as required observations from space missions.

description: Nowadays, driving activity has become more important as this medium being practical, faster, and cheaper in connecting humans from one to another place. However, driving activity can cause disaster or death to a human in daily life as they get fatigued while driving. Driver fatigue is a top contributor to road crashes. The primary objective of this paper was to develop a decision support system (DSS) for detecting the driving fatigue. The decision support system aims to provide systematic analysis and solutions to minimize the risk and the number of accidents associated with driving fatigue. Four major stages involved as the pillar in the development of decision support system; acquisition of knowledge, integration of knowledge, development of driving fatigue strain index using fuzzy logic membership function, development of decision support system for driving fatigue (DSSfDF) model using the graphical user interface. The decision support system is an essential system to examine the risk factors that would contribute significantly to driving fatigue associated with the driving activity. Besides, the decision support system provides solutions and recommendations to the users to minimize the number of road accidents in Malaysia.

description: 2016, equivalent to about 7 percent of the national labor force, with around 38 percent of them involved in domestic and caregiving work (World Bank, 2017: 11). In 2019, Indonesia was the third-largest migrant-sending country in East and Southeast Asia after China and the Philippines (United Nations, 2019). Yet, at a time when circular labor migration has become a key feature of the global political economy, it is not the figures alone that make Indonesia a compelling case study to examine a wide array of labor migration issues. The Indonesian experience offers useful insights into understanding broader labor migration problems, namely, (i) the problem of contested governance and transnational advocacy; (ii) the oft-debated links between remittances and development; and (iii) issues arising from the multi-directional nature of labor migration. This special section provides a close examination of these key global challenges in the Indonesian context. In our introduction, we situate each of these issues within their broader contexts and attendant debates. We then draw out the key contributions of each paper and outline the implications these have for further research.

description: Recent measurements of durations of non-equilibrium processes provide valuable information on microscopic mechanisms and energetics. Comprehensive theory for corresponding experiments so far is well developed for single-particle systems only. Little is known for interacting systems in non-equilibrium environments. Here, we introduce and study a basic model for cycle processes interacting with an environment that can exhibit a net particle flow. We find a surprising richness of cycle time variations with environmental conditions. This manifests itself in unequal cycle times $τ^+$ and $τ^-$ in forward and backward cycle direction with both asymmetries $τ^-τ^+$, speeding up of backward cycles by interactions, and dynamical phase transitions, where cycle times become multimodal functions of the bias. The model allows us to relate these effects to specific microscopic mechanisms, which can be helpful for interpreting experiments.

description: In this paper we estimate the demand for rock climbing and calculate welfare measures for changing access to a number of climbs at a climbing area. In addition to the novel recreation application, we extend the travel cost methodology by combining the double hurdle count data model (DH) with a multinomial logit model of site-choice. The combined model allows us simultaneously to explain the decision to participate and to allocate trips among sites. The application is to climbers who visit one of the premiere rock-climbing areas in the northeastern United States and its important substitute sites. We also estimate a conventional welfare measure, which is the maximum WTP to avoid loss of access to the climbing site.

description: During the past decade, the grain shipping industry has become highly competitive and technologically advanced. These changes, along with the introduction of innovative shipping mechanisms, have made logistics management an important source of opportunity and risk for grain shippers. In this study, a stochastic simulation model was developed to evaluate the tradeoffs and effects of key variables on logistical performance in managing the grain supply chain. Average demurrage cost for the supply chain was $2.03 million with the greatest cost being for railcars and the least cost being for barges. Of the stochastic variables modeled, changes in export demand had the greatest impact on demurrage costs.
The ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey IX. The morphology-radius and morphology-density relations in rich galaxy clusters
Creators: name: Thomas, T.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the morphology-radius (MR-) and morphology-density (MD-) relations for a sample of about 850 galaxies (with M <= -19.5) in 23 clusters from the ENACS (ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey). On the basis of their radial distributions we must distinguish: 1. brightest ellipticals (with M < -22), 2. late spirals, and 3. the ensemble of less bright ellipticals, S0 galaxies and early spirals. The latter have indistinguishable distributions of projected radial distance R. The brightest ellipticals are most centrally concentrated, the late spirals are almost absent from the central regions and the other classes are intermediate. Radial segregation of the ellipticals is due to the brightest ellipticals only, that of the spirals to the late spirals only. We derive the MD-relation with two measures of projected density: one using the 10 nearest neighbours (Sigma10) and another using only the nearest neighbour (Sigma1). The Sigma10 MD-relation only shows a significant difference between early- and late-type galaxies, but the different galaxy types within those classes are indistinguishable. However, The Sigma1 MD-relation shows that the normal 'ellipticals' (with M >= -22), the S0 galaxies and the early spirals have different Sigma1-distributions. The reason for this is that Sigma1 is much less correlated with R than is Sigma10, and thus has much less cross-talk from the (MR-) relation. On average, the 'normal' ellipticals populate environments with higher projected density than do the S0 galaxies while the early spirals populate even less dense environments. The segregation of the brightest ellipticals and the late spirals is driven mostly by global factors, while the segregation between 'normal' ellipticals, S0 galaxies and early spirals is driven primarily by local factors.

description: The importation of hard red winter and durum wheat from Canada has been a source of contention among U.S. wheat growers, due to the likeness between domestic and imported Canadian wheat. It has also been investigated as a source of material injury to the U.S. market. We examine the relative substitution between U.S. and Canadian wheat, by class, by treating wheat as an input in flour production. We find that while U.S. hard red spring wheat and U.S. hard red winter wheat are economic substitutes, there is limited price substitution between U.S. and Canadian durum and U.S. and Canadian hard red spring wheat. Quality differences from the millers' perspective may be the reason driving the import demand for hard red spring and durum wheat from Canada.
Is it Physically Sound to Add a Topologically Massive Term to Three-Dimensional Massive Electromagnetic or Gravitational Models ?

description: The addition of a topologically massive term to an admittedly non-unitary three-dimensional massive model, be it an electromagnetic system or a gravitational one, does not cure its non-unitarity. What about the enlargement of avowedly unitary massive models by way of a topologically massive term? The electromagnetic models remain unitary after the topological augmentation but, surprisingly enough, the gravitational ones have their unitarity spoiled. Here we analyze these issues and present the explanation why unitary massive gravitational models, unlike unitary massive electromagnetic ones, cannot coexist from the viewpoint of unitarity with topologically massive terms. We also discuss the novel features of the three-term effective field models that are gauge-invariant.

description: We present the results of L-band spectroscopical observations of local bright ULIRGs, performed with ISAAC at the VLT. We discuss the L-band spectral features of seven single sources, and the statistical properties of a complete sample of 15 sources obtained combining our observations with other published 3-4 micron spectra. Our main results are: 1. When a spectral indicator suggesting the presence of an AGN (low equivalent width of the 3.3 micron emission line, steep lambda-f_lambda spectrum, presence of an absorption feature at 3.4 micron) is found, the AGN is always confirmed by independent analysis at other wavelengths. Conversely, in all known AGNs at least one of the above indicators is present. 2. Two new diagnostic diagrams are proposed combining the above indicators, in which starbursts and AGNs are clearly and completely separated. 3. The above diagnostic techniques are possible with spectra of relatively low quality, which can be obtained for several tens of ULIRGs with currently available telescopes. This makes L-band spectroscopy the current best tool to disentangle AGNs and starbursts contributions in ULIRGs. 4. The L-band properties of ULIRGs are heterogeneous. However, we show that all the spectral differences among ULIRGs can be reproduced starting from pure intrinsic AGN and SB spectra and varying two parameters: the amount of dust extinction of the AGN component, and the relative AGN/SB contribution to the bolometric luminosity. 5. Using the above decomposition model, we show that AGNs in ULIRGs have a low dust-to-gas ratio and a dust extinction curve different from Galactic. 6. The estimate of the contribution of AGNs in a complete sample show that AGNs are hosted by ~2/3 of ULIRGs, but their energetic contribution is relevant only in ~20% of the sample.

Women’s experiences of consciousness-raising : paths of liberatory resistance
Creators: name: Irlam, Lorraine J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The field of psychology has been aptly criticised by feminists for its de-contextualizing emphasis on so-called individual deficits. Feminists and other critical psychologists posh that marginalized groups and women in particular are overly pathologized for problems that in fact may be the natural consequences of internalized oppression. Consciousness-raising is assumed to be of benefit not only by stimulating collective action for social change, but by psychologically liberating individual women as well. Most existing research on the effects of consciousnessraising, however, was conducted in the 1970s. Looking at related concepts, more recent studies have examined the effects of taking women's studies courses or the processes of racial or feminist identity development. Together this body of research, most of which has relied on quantitative, cross-sectional data, suggests that consciousness-raising is implicated in profound personal metamorphoses. Virtually absent from the literature, however, are holistic qualitative explorations of women's experiences of consciousness-raising. Therefore, this study, a collaborative feminist narrative approach, is a qualitative exploration attempting to enhance our existing understanding of women's lived experiences of consciousness-raising, particularly with respect to its emancipatory and psychological consequences. Seven women, including the researcher, have narrated their experiences of consciousness-raising. Themes such as enhanced self-concept; positive changes in spiritual and work lives, as well as psychological health; mixed effects; and consciousness-raising as a tool of liberatory resistance are discussed. Findings are compared with existing research and implications for counselling psychology and future research are drawn.

description: Neutralinos $\tildeχ^0$ in supersymmetric theories, the spin--1/2 Majorana--type superpartners of the U(1) and SU(2) neutral electroweak gauge bosons and SU(2) neutral Higgs bosons, are expected to be among light supersymmetric particles so that they can be produced copiouslyvia direct pair production and/or from cascade decays of other sparticles such as sleptons at the planned Large Hadron Collider and the prospective International Linear Collider. Considering the prospects of having both highly polarized neutralinos and possibility of reconstructing their decay rest frames, we provide a systematic investigation of the three--body leptonic decays of the neutralinos in the minimal supersymmetric standard model and demonstrate alternative ways for probing the Majorana nature of the neutralinos and CP violation in the neutralino system.

description: This paper examines many of the forces reshaping world agriculture. Among these forces are increased trade liberalization, agricultural research and development, and new movements in developing countries. Worldwide agricultural production is likely to become more competitive as a result of increased trade liberalization through the World Trade Organization and regional and bilateral free trade agreements. Countries can become more competitive through agricultural research and development. As a result of research and development, total agricultural production has increased significantly across the world over the last several decades. Agricultural research has also led to the development of many new, non-food uses for agricultural products. New movements in developing countries include the substantial increases in agricultural production in Brazil and Argentina, and increases in consumption in China and other countries.
A Comment on Conical Flow Induced by Heavy-Quark Jets

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The suppression of high transverse momentum particles, recently discovered at RHIC, is commonly interpreted as due to parton energy loss. In high energy nuclear collisions, QCD jets would deposit a large fraction of their energy and into the produced matter. The question of how this energy is degraded and whether we can use this phenomenon to probe the properties of the produced matter is now under active discussion. It has been proposed that if this matter, which is now being referred to as a {\em strongly coupled Quark-Gluon Plasma} (sQGP), may behave as a liquid with a very small viscosity. In this case, a very specific collective excitation should be produced, called the ``conical flow'', similar e.g. to the sonic booms generated by the shock waves produced by supersonic planes. The RHIC experiments seem indeed to be obtaining some indication that the production of particles emitted opposite to a high-$p_t$ jet may actually be peaked away from the quenched jet direction, at an angle roughly consistent with the direction expected in case a shock wave is produced (i.e. orthogonal to the Mach cone). In this note we speculate that for tagged heavy-quark jets one may observe a shrinkage of the Mach cone at moderate $p_t$. The experimental observation of such an effect would be a very good test for the validity of the whole picture currently emerging from the study of partonic matter in nuclear collisions.

description: In this letter, improving the security of an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted multiple-input single-output (MISO) communication system is studied. Different from the ideal assumption in existing literatures that full eavesdropper's (Eve's) channel state information (CSI) is available, we consider a more practical scenario without Eve's CSI. To enhance the security of this system given a total transmit power at transmitter (Alice), we propose a joint beamforming and jamming approach, in which a minimum transmit power is firstly optimized at Alice so as to meet the quality of service (QoS) at legitimate user (Bob), and then artificial noise (AN) is emitted to jam the eavesdropper by using the residual power at Alice. Two efficient algorithms exploiting oblique manifold (OM) and minorizationmaximization (MM) algorithms, respectively, are developed for solving the resulting non-convex optimization problem. Simulation results have been provided to validate the performance and convergence of the proposed algorithms.

description: Chaos, oscillations, instabilities, intermittency represent only some nonlinear examples apparent in natural world. These phenomena appear in any field of study, and advances in complex and nonlinear dynamic techniques bring about opportunities to better understand animal signals. In this work we suggest an analysis method based on the characterization of the vocal fold dynamics by means of the nonlinear time series analysis, and by the computations of the parameters typical of chaotic oscillations: Attractor reconstruction, Spectrum of Lyapunov Exponents and Maximum Lyapunov Exponent was used to reconstruct the dynamic of the vocal folds. Identifying a sort of of vocal fingerprint can be useful in biodiversity monitoring and understanding the health status of a given animal. This method was applied to the vocalization of the Cervus elaphus corsicanus, the Sardinian Red Deer.

description: Consistency of functional characteristics in hard red spring (HRS) wheat is a concern confronting sellers and buyers. This research analyzes contract incentives for importers with respect to cost and potential risk of acceptance. A principal-agent framework is utilized to examine contract incentives. In the principal-agent contract, the principal offers the contract, the agent rejects or accepts the contract, and then decides how much effort to apply. All this is subject to risk for the agent and moral hazard for the principal. An example is presented, for which equilibrium contract terms are a base price of 454 cents per bushel for low quality wheat and a premium of 36 cents per bushel if high quality is achieved. The premium for high quality is unchanged as the agent's outside option increases, but increases as the probability of conformance with high effort declines or as the agent's cost of high effort increases. Small changes in several of the parameter values (agent's outside option, agent's cost of high/low effort, principal value for high/low effort, and principal's outside options if the contract was not extended or if the agent rejects the contract) result in the principal not offering a contract.

For small system sizes, the energy barrier E_B to the defect motion is computed analytically via symmetry and topological considerations. More generally, we perform numerical simulations directly on the equations of motion, based on the resistively-shunted junction model, to study the dynamics of defects, varying the system size. Coherent motion of domain walls is observed for large system sizes. In the thermodynamical limit, we find E_B=0.1827 in units of the Josephson coupling energy.

description: Agricultural industries in small geographical areas with limited acreage tend to be overlooked by those not associated with the growing region or industry. Sugarbeets continue to be produced in a relatively small geographic area and on relatively limited acreage in Minnesota, North Dakota, and eastern Montana. These factors, along with continued debate over policies affecting domestic sugar industries and recent industry expansions, help justify a continued assessment of the economic importance of the sugarbeet industry to the regional economy. Revenues from sugarbeet production and expenditures by processors to Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana entities in fiscal 2003 represented the direct economic impacts from the industry. Expenditure information was provided by sugarbeet processing and marketing cooperatives. Secondary economic impacts were estimated using input-output analysis. The sugarbeet industry, which included the growing regions and processing plants located in the Red River Valley, west central Minnesota, and northwestern North Dakota/northeastern Montana, planted 776,348 acres and processed 14.5 million tons of sugarbeets in 2003. Production and processing activities generated $1.1 billion in direct economic impacts. Gross business volume (direct and secondary effects) from the sugarbeet industry was estimated at $3.1 billion. Direct and secondary employment in the industry was 2,628 and 29,258 full-time equivalent jobs, respectively. State-level tax revenues generated by the industry in the tri-state region were estimated at $62.6 million. In real terms, gross business volume of the sugarbeet industry in Minnesota and eastern North Dakota has increased 76 percent since 1987. Increases in business activity from the industry have resulted from increased production, processing, and marketing activities.

description: Frank Bonner was killed 1st July. A diary associated with Bonner has a hole, and his family are unsure if this is a bullet hole or damage. Harold Fensome (1897-1979) was award a military (possible Distinguished Conduct) medal for an action of bravery for taking out a machine gun post. He is believed to have transferred to the Royal Army Medical Corps after that engagement. Harold returned to life as a butcher after the war.
Global existence and decay in multi-component reaction-diffusion-advection systems with different velocities: oscillations in time and frequency

description: It is well-known that quadratic or cubic nonlinearities in reaction-diffusion-advection systems can lead to growth of solutions with small, localized initial data and even finite time blow-up. It was recently proved, however, that, if the components of two nonlinearly coupled reaction-diffusion-advection equations propagate with different velocities, then quadratic or cubic mixed-terms, i.e.~nonlinear terms with nontrivial contributions from both components, do not affect global existence and Gaussian decay of small, localized initial data. The proof relied on pointwise estimates to capture the difference in velocities. In this paper we present an alternative method, which is better applicable to multiple components. Our method involves a nonlinear iteration scheme that employs $L^1$-$L^p$ estimates in Fourier space and exploits oscillations in time and frequency, which arise due to differences in transport. Under the assumption that each component exhibits different velocities, we establish global existence and decay for small, algebraically localized initial data in multi-component reaction-diffusion-advection systems allowing for cubic mixed-terms and nonlinear terms of Burgers' type.

description: The relative contribution of various physical processes to the spatial and temporal distribution of molecular clouds and star-forming regions in the disks of galaxies has not been fully studied. The spatial regularity in the distribution of the young stellar population in spiral and ring structures is a good test to study this contribution. We investigate photometric properties of the ring and spiral arms in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 6217 based on analysis of GALEX ultraviolet, optical UBVRI and Halpha surface photometry data. The ring in the galaxy is located near the corotation area. A spatial regularity in the distribution of the young stellar population along the galaxy ring was found. The characteristic scale of spacing is about 700 pc. At the same time, we did not find a similar regularity in the distribution of the young stellar population along the spiral arms of NGC 6217. The spatial regularity in concentration of young stellar groupings along spiral arms is a quite rare phenomenon, and it has never been found before in galactic rings.

Core Precession and Global Modes in Granular Bulk Flow

description: A transition from local to global shear zones is reported for granular flows in a modified Couette cell. The experimental geometry is a slowly rotating drum which has a stationary disc of radius R_s fixed at its bottom. Granular material, which fills this cell up to height H, forms a wide shear zone which emanates from the discontinuity at the stationary discs edge. For shallow layers (H/R_s < 0.55), the shear zone reaches the free surface, with the core of the material resting on the disc and remaining stationary. In contrast, for deep layers (H/R_s > 0.55), the shear zones meet below the surface and the core starts to precess. A change in the symmetry of the surface velocities reveals that this behavior is associated with a transition from a local to a global shear mode.

description: The effects of the exchange rate and the income and money supply of the United States and its major trading partners on the U.S. agricultural trade balance are examined using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. Results suggest that the exchange rate is the key determinant of the short- and long-run behavior of the trade balance. It is also found that the income and money supply in both the United States and the trading partners have significant impacts on the U.S. agricultural trade in both the short- and long-run.

description: Bid prices were elicited for standard-label cookies, muffins, and potato chips and those identified as not including genetically modified (GM) ingredients using an experimental auction. Including a statement that the product did not include GM ingredients increased bids over those offered for standard-label products. Providing negative-biased information about the impact of GM crops on the environment increased the risk participants associated with GM foods, and positive-biased information decreased perceived risk. Overall, providing impact information, whether positive- or negative-biased, increased bids for products presumed GM. The influence of information bias on bids varied among selected participant groups, supporting the presence of uniquely responsive market segments.

Physics of Psychophysics: two coupled square lattices of spiking neurons have huge dynamic range at criticality

description: Psychophysics try to relate physical input magnitudes to psychological or neural correlates. Microscopic models to account for macroscopic psychophysical laws, in the sense of statistical physics, are an almost unexplored area. Here we examine a sensory epithelium composed of two connected square lattices of stochastic integrate-and-fire cells. With one square lattice we obtain a Stevens's law $ρ\propto h^m$ with Stevens's exponent $m = 0.254$ and a sigmoidal saturation, where $ρ$ is the neuronal network activity and $h$ is the input intensity (external field). We relate Stevens's power law exponent with the field critical exponent as $m = 1/δ_h = β/σ$. We also show that this system pertains to the Directed Percolation (DP) universality class (or perhaps the Compact-DP class). With stacked two layers of square lattices, and a fraction of connectivity between the first and second layer, we obtain at the output layer $ρ_ 2 \propto h^{m_2}$, with $m_2 = 0.08 \approx m^2$, which corresponds to a huge dynamic range. This enhancement of the dynamic range only occurs when the layers are close to their critical point.

description: The world of oilseeds, meals, and oils has been evolving. New issues have emerged for researchers and policymakers. The United States is still the largest player, mainly due to its dominant position in soybeans and soybean meals. Nevertheless, the position of the United States has been challenged by several countries. The growth by Brazil and Argentina in the production of soybeans and soybean meal has especially eroded the market share of the United States in recent years. Malaysia and Indonesia have been aggressively marketing their palm oil, intensifying the competition for U.S. soybean oil exports. Other issues include changing trade policies and demand in major importing countries, trade liberalization, and genetically modified crops.
Semi-localized instability of the Kaluza-Klein linear dilaton vacuum

description: The Kaluza-Klein linear dilaton background of the bosonic string and the Scherk-Schwarz linear dilaton background of the superstring are shown to be unstable to the decay of half of spacetime. The decay proceeds via a condensation of a semi-localized tachyon when the circle is smaller than a critical size, and via a semiclassical instanton process when the circle is larger than the critical size. At criticality the two pictures are related by a duality of the corresponding two-dimensional conformal field theories. This provides a concrete realization of the connection between tachyonic and semiclassical instabilities in closed string theory, and lends strong support to the idea that non-localized closed string tachyon condensation leads to the annihilation of spacetime.
