DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT. — Scolopia montana is mostly known from low- to mid-elevation humid forests (Fig. 2); the highestelevation collection (1700 m) was said to be on laterite. REMARKS Scolopia montana has small, oblanceolate to narrowly oblong leaves, with rounded to obtuse (or rarely cuspidate) apices and cuneate to convex bases, that dry greenish-brown to olive adaxially and brownish abaxially. The pedicels are short in flower; they remain under 2.5 mm in most fruiting specimens but reach 7-8 mm in one. The perianth is probably somewhat accrescent in fruit, but available material does not suffice to confirm this. CONSERVATION STATUS The preliminary assessment of the conservation status of Scolopia montana is Near Threatened (NT). Collections are known from only five locations, but these include the Protected Areas of Anjanaharibe-Sud, Betampona, Masoala, and Zahamena, which reduces the risk that it will be endangered in the near future. Its Extent of Occurrence is 24 078 km2, and although its minimum Area of Occupancy is 20 km 2, the estimated potential maximum Area of Occupancy based on likely suitable habitat within the Extent of Occurrence exceeds 2000 km 2.

description: The existence, stability and movability of breathers in a model for alpha-helix proteins is studied. This model basically consists a chain of dipole moments parallel to it. The existence of localized linear modes brings about that the system has a characteristic frequency, which depends on the curvature of the chain. Hard breathers are stable, while soft ones experiment subharmonic instabilities that preserve, however the localization. Moving breathers can travel across the bending point for small curvature and are reflected when it is increased. No trapping of breathers takes place.

description: Out-of-core sparse direct solvers reduce the amount of main memory needed to factorise and solve large sparse linear systems of equations by holding the matrix data, the computed factrors and some of the work arrays in files on disk. The efficiency of the factorization and solution phases is dependent upon the number of entries in the factors. For a given pivot sequence, the level of fill in the factors beyond that predicted on the basis of the sparsity pattern alone depends on the number of pivots that are delayed (that is, the number of pivots that are used later than expected because of numerical stability considerations). Our aim is to limit the number of delayed pivots, whilst maintaining robustness and accuracy. In this paper, we consider a new out-of-core multifrontal solver that is designed to solve efficiently the system of linear equations that arise from finite element applications. We consider how equilibration can be built into the solver without requiring the system matrix to be held in main memory. We also examine the effects of different pivoting startegies, including threashold partial pivoting, threashold rook pivoting and static pivoting. Numerical experiments are reported for problems arising from a range of practical applications.

South Dakota Soybean Processors: The Discourse of Conversion from Cooperative to Limited Liability Corporation

description: On June 20, 2002, the members of the South Dakota Soybean Processors (SDSP) Cooperative approved the reorganization of the cooperative into a limited liability company. Between the vote of the SDSP board of directors to reorganize on October 12, 2001 and the majority vote of the membership to approve the reorganization, there was no public discussion about the issue in the major media. In the absence of any public opposition to the conversion, the vote by the members in favor of conversion would indicate that conversion was relatively uncontroversial. The lack of controversy about conversion would seem to render this issue a non-event not worthy of sociological examination. Even nonevents, however, merit examination, and in this case, the non-event of lack of opposition to conversion is the question to be explained, and the proposed answer to the question is that the hegemonic discourse of neo-classical economics did not permit the consideration of alternative arrangements by which the company would have retained a cooperative format. The contention of this paper is that the discourse of neoclassical economics has become a heuristic narrative in the way that it organizes common sense and hinders oppositional discourses. To that extent, neoclassical economics’ theories become self-fulfilling through institutional design, social norms, and language.

description: Escherichia coli and other bacteria use rotating helical filaments to swim. Each cell typically has about four filaments, which bundle or disperse depending on the sense of motor rotation. To study the bundling process, we built a macroscopic scale model consisting of stepper-motor-driven polymer helices in a tank filled with a high-viscosity silicone oil. The Reynolds number, the ratio of viscous to elastic stresses, and the helix geometry of our experimental model approximately match the corresponding quantities of the full scale E. coli cells. We analyze digital video images of the rotating helices to show that the initial rate of bundling is proportional to the motor frequency and is independent of the characteristic relaxation time of the filament. We also determine which combinations of helix handedness and sense of motor rotation lead to bundling.

description: Micromobility has gained attention from policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academia; however, a comprehensive conceptualization of micromobility is still missing. Existing definitions are largely vehicle-centric: either listing modes or detailing vehicle characteristics. This paper addresses this gap by developing a ‘beyond vehicles’, multi-dimensional conceptualization of micromobility, accompanied by a novel socio-technical definition. Through a review of related concepts, combined with an analysis of the use and definitions of the term micromobility in publications, this study establishes a new conceptualization of micromobility. It incorporates human, social, and cultural dimensions, considers environmental, economic, infrastructure, vehicle technology, regulatory and policy aspects, and considerations for public health. Our definition of micromobility encompasses a wide range of mobility options typically used for shorter trips and manoeuvrable by an individual without motor assistance, at least for short distances. These modes are characterized by their ‘micro’ attributes, including low energy demand, environmental impact, and road space use relative to automobility. The conceptualization incorporates a range of micromobility modes, including fully human-powered (including walking), partially motor-assisted, and fully powered options. These modes typically operate at speeds not exceeding 25 to 32 kilometres per hour (or 45 km/h for faster options), weigh (typically substantially) below 350 kilograms and often yield significant (public) health benefits. Trip length is generally less than 15 kilometres, and daily distances under 80 kilometres. Importantly, our definition includes the practices, policies, cultures, and infrastructures that emerge around the use of micromobility options and shape their uptake. This proposed conceptualization significantly broadens the prevailing vehicle-focus in micromobility debates towards a socio-technical perspective. Embracing a widely accepted conceptualisation of micromobility would offer several advantages, including robust design standards, legislation, and evaluation metrics and methods. Additionally, this paper highlights the pivotal role micromobilities can play in transcending the limitations of automobility, towards more sustainable and equitable mobility futures.

description: The statistics of 2-dimensional turbulence exhibit a riddle: the scaling exponents in the regime of inverse energy cascade agree with the K41 theory of turbulence far from equilibrium, but the probability distribution functions are close to Gaussian like in equilibrium. The skewness $\C S \equiv S_3(R)/S^{3/2}_2(R)$ was measured as $\C S_{\text{exp}}\approx 0.03$. This contradiction is lifted by understanding that 2-dimensional turbulence is not far from a situation with equi-partition of enstrophy, which exist as true thermodynamic equilibrium with K41 exponents in space dimension of $d=4/3$. We evaluate theoretically the skewness $\C S(d)$ in dimensions ${4/3}\le d\le 2$, show that $\C S(d)=0$ at $d=4/3$, and that it remains as small as $\C S_{\text{exp}}$ in 2-dimensions.

description: While micromobility has seen a significant rise of interest across policy, industry and academia, a detailed conceptualisation of it has so far been missing from the scientific literature. This paper develops a multi-dimensional conceptualisation of micromobility, in conjunction with a new socio-technical definition. To do so, it reviews related concepts; it analyses how the term micromobility has been used; and it critically engages with existing definitions most frequently cited in this literature. Building on these insights, we develop a multi-dimensional conceptualization of micromobility. Our definition of micromobility covers a wide range of mobility options that can typically be manoeuvred by one human without motor assistance, at least for short distances, and that are ‘micro’ in terms of energy demand, environmental impact, and use of road space, relative to automobility. According to our conceptualisation, micromobility modes comprise fully human powered, partially motor assisted and fully powered options. They typically do not exceed 25 kilometres per hour (or 45 for faster ones) and weigh (often significantly) less than 350 kilogram, while often providing some (public) health benefits. Trip lengths are typically less than 15 kilometres and daily distance travelled less than 80 kilometres. This new definition has relevance for future transport and mobility scholarship, as well as policy and evaluation. Advantages of a new and widely accepted definition and conceptualisation of micromobility could include more robust design standards, legislation, as well as evaluation metrics and methods, all leading to greater understanding of, and attention paid to, this form of mobility. This paper highlights the important role that micromobilities could play in moving beyond automobility, to create more sustainable and just mobility futures.

description: This two-part tutorial dives into the field of data-driven power flow linearization (DPFL), a domain gaining increased attention with the rise of data-centric methodologies. DPFL stands out for its higher approximation accuracy, wide adaptability, and better ability to implicitly incorporate power losses and the latest system attributes. This renders DPFL a potentially superior option for managing the significant fluctuations from renewable energy sources, a step towards realizing a more sustainable energy future, by translating the higher model accuracy into increased economic efficiency and less energy losses. To conduct a complete, rigorous, and deep reexamination, this tutorial first classifies all existing DPFL methods into DPFL training algorithms and supportive techniques. Their mathematical models, analytical solutions, capabilities, limitations, and generalizability are systematically examined, discussed, and summarized. In addition, this tutorial reviews existing DPFL experiments, examining the settings of test systems, the fidelity of datasets, and the comparison made among a limited number of DPFL methods. Further, this tutorial implements extensive numerical comparisons of all existing DPFL methods (40 methods in total) and four classic physics-driven approaches, focusing on their generalizability, applicability, accuracy, and computational efficiency. Through these experiments, this tutorial aims to reveal the actual performance of all the methods (including the performances exposed to data noise or outliers), therefore guiding the selection of appropriate linearization methods for researchers. Furthermore, this tutorial discusses open research questions and future directions based on the theoretical and numerical insights gained, contributing to the progression of the field of DPFL. As the first part of the tutorial, this paper mainly reexamines DPFL theories, covering all the training algorithms and supportive techniques in depth. Numerous capabilities, limitations, and aspects of generalizability, which were previously unmentioned in the literature, have been identified.

description: The unconstrained ensemble describes completely open systems in which energy, volume and number of particles fluctuate. Here we show that not only equilibrium states can exist in this ensemble, but also that completely open systems can undergo first-order phase transitions. This is shown by studying a modified version of the Thirring model with attractive and repulsive interactions and with particles of finite size. The model exhibits first-order phase transitions in the unconstrained ensemble, at variance with the analogous model with point-like particles. While unconstrained and grand canonical ensembles are equivalent for this model, we found inequivalence between the unconstrained and isothermal-isobaric ensembles. By comparing the thermodynamic phase diagram in the unconstrained case with that obtained in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble, we show that phase transitions under completely open conditions for this model are different from those in which the number of particles is fixed, highlighting the inequivalence of ensembles.

Choosing to Defect from Cooperation—the 2003 Collapse of California Pear Bargaining

description: Bargaining in agriculture is collective because an agent represents multiple principals, the farmers, in contrast to an agent who negotiates on behalf of a single or corporate entity. Collective bargaining adds the complication of securing commitments from several individuals, each possibly having a slightly different reservation value for an acceptable agreement. A disadvantage for a collective bargaining agent may emerge when negotiating with an agent representing a single or corporate principal rather than another collective group of principals. Such asymmetry provides opportunities for a single agent to exploit differences among heterogeneous principals when negotiating with a collective agent. The structure of California pear growers consists not only of a wide distribution in the size of farm production, but involves a special class of very large growers who also operate packing businesses for marketing to nonprocessed, fresh markets. These grower-packers had gradually withdrawn from membership in the bargaining cooperative, but they provided tacit cooperation by refraining from taking contracts until the association concluded its negotiations with food processors. This form of tacit cooperation provided a credible commitment for California pear bargaining for several years, until the system failed in 2003 under aggressive negotiating pressure from one of the fruit processors. Tacit cooperation between two entities involves interdependent decisions. Such situations are frequently analyzed using game theory techniques. The Prisoners’ Dilemma (PD) is the most famous situation of tacit choice between cooperation and defection. But in the California pear case of 2003, the decision outcomes were asymmetrical. Interviews of the bargaining association manager and representatives of the grower-packers included ordinal ranking of choices and outcomes. These results produced two different game matrices that reflect their different interpretations of the available choices and what they believed was their counterpart’s ranking. Game theory provides a structure for specifying choices that result in either achieving or abandoning joint maximum gains from cooperation. Applying game theory to a historical case study keeps the research focus on contingencies and reasons other than irrational or behavioral limitations that lead to defection from cooperation. Lastly, a game theory framework helps point out several remedial strategies that collective bargaining agents could use to establish credible commitment.

description: This study analyzes factors influencing farmer interest in marketing switchgrass through contracts and/or joining a cooperative that harvests, transports, stores, and markets their switchgrass. Data are from a survey of farmers in 12 southern states. A bivariate probit analysis is used to estimate the effects of farm characteristics, farmer demographics, and opinions about switchgrass on marketing alternative preferences. Interest in contracting and joining a cooperative are positively influenced by farm size, on-farm storage, moderate off-farm income, and heightened importance of job creation in decision to produce switchgrass. Negative influences include concerns about planting/harvesting conflicts and expectation of ceasing farming soon.

description: This article values the debt of an input cooperative that procures a single commodity from farmers and then processes and markets the output, and an otherwise identical firm structured as an investor-owned firm (IOF) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The major conclusion of this article is that a cooperative can be designed to be safer for lenders, which implies a lower cost of debt, than an otherwise identical firm structured as an IOF. This conclusion is a logical consequence of the difference between the residual claims of the owners of cooperatives and of IOFs.

description: Recent papers that have studied variants of the Peyrard-Bishop model for DNA, have taken into account the long range interaction due to the dipole moments of the hydrogen bonds between base pairs. In these models the helicity of the double strand is not considered. In this particular paper we have performed an analysis of the influence of the helicity on the properties of static and moving breathers in a Klein--Gordon chain with dipole-dipole interaction. It has been found that the helicity enlarges the range of existence and stability of static breathers, although this effect is small for a typical helical structure of DNA. However the effect of the orientation of the dipole moments is considerably higher with transcendental consequences for the existence of mobile breathers.

The algorithm is based on a weak nonlinearity approximation and independent parallel calculations of fast Fourier transforms on multiple CPUs. The algorithm allows one to implement numerical simulations M/2 times faster than a direct numerical simulation by a split-step method, where M is a number of CPUs in parallel network.

description: We study aspects of superstring vacua of non-compact special holonomy manifolds with conical singularities constructed systematically using soluble N = 1 superconformal field theories (SCFT's). It is known that Einstein homogeneous spaces G/H generate Ricci flat manifolds with special holonomies on their cones R_+ x G/H, when they are endowed with appropriate geometrical structures, namely, the Sasaki-Einstein, tri-Sasakian, nearly Kahler, and weak G_2 structures for SU(n), Sp(n), G_2, and Spin(7) holonomies, respectively. Motivated by this fact, we consider the string vacua of the type: R^{d-1,1} x (N = 1 Liouville) x (N=1 supercoset CFT on G/H) where we use the affine Lie algebras of G and H in order to capture the geometry associated to an Einstein homogeneous space G/H. Remarkably, we find the same number of spacetime and worldsheet SUSY's in our ``CFT cone'' construction as expected from the analysis of geometrical cones over G/H in many examples. We also present an analysis on the possible Liouville potential terms (cosmological constant type operators) which provide the marginal deformations resolving the conical singularities.

Confrontation of MOND Predictions with WMAP First Year Data
Creators: name: McGaugh, Stacy
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I present a model devoid of non-baryonic cold dark matter (CDM) which provides an acceptable fit to the WMAP data for the power spectrum of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic background radiation (CBR). An a priori prediction of such no-CDM models was a first-to-second peak amplitude ratio A1:2 = 2.4. WMAP measures A1:2 = 2.34 +/- 0.09. The baryon content is the dominant factor in fixing this ratio; no-CDM models which are consistent with the WMAP data are also consistent with constraints on the baryon density from the primordial abundances of 2H, 4He, and 7Li. However, in order to match the modest width of the acoustic peaks observed by WMAP, a substantial neutrino mass is implied: m(nu) ~ 1 eV. Even with such a heavy neutrino, structure is expected to form rapidly under the influence of MOND. Consequently, the epoch of reionization should occur earlier than is nominally expected in LCDM. This prediction is realized in the polarization signal measured by WMAP. An outstanding test is in the amplitude of the third acoustic peak. Experiments which probe high-L appear to favor a third peak which is larger than predicted by the no-CDM model.

description: In this work, the improvements that influenced the participation of the farmers in the cooperative were analyzed. A survey of 125 farmers was carried out in Juanjui using Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis in order to assess the underlying opinions of the cocoa farmers. The evaluation of Acopagro’s performance was negative when communities were located far from the cooperative headquarters. Alternatively, the closer the communities were to Juanjui and the more direct the relationship with the importers was, the more satisfied farmers were with the cooperative performance. Enforcement of the gatherers’ loyalty in each village is needed for farmers' competitiveness in the market.

description: Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Auswirkung des Rotorlagegeber-Systems, als Schnittstelle zwischen den Einzelkomponenten, auf das E-Motor-System. Diese Sensorik ist in aktuellen Drehstromantriebssystemen integriert und stellt der Leistungselektronik die Information zur Rotorlage bereit. Zunächst werden verschiedene physikalische Messprinzipien vorgestellt. Anschließend wird anhand der Systemanforderungen ein Rotorlagegeber ausgewählt. Im Betrieb eines E-Motor-Systems treten Winkelfehler auf, die vom Bauraum, der Montage und vom Gebersystem selbst beeinflusst werden. Um auftretende Fehlerquellen zu identifizieren, wird ein Modell für den Rotorlagegeber vorgestellt. Dieses wird zunächst analytisch aufgebaut und um ein Permeanz-Kapazitäts-Modell erweitert. Durch eine Finite-Elemente Simulation können die vorgestellten Modelle nachgeschärft und sowohl mechanische als auch elektrische Fehlerfälle simuliert werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Simulation werden durch Messungen an einem Komponentenprüfstand validiert. Anschließend wird die Signalerfassung, Vorfilterung und Verarbeitung beleuchtet sowie die Auswirkungen auf den Winkelfehler untersucht. Nach der Identifikation von Einflussgrößen wird der Umgang mit Signalfehlern und deren Kompensation aufgezeigt. Der Einfluss des daraus resultierenden Drehmomentfehlers auf das E-Motor-System wird in einem abschließenden Kapitel dargestellt. Hierfür werden ein Gütekriterium formuliert und die Ergebnisse der Systemsimulation vorgestellt.

description: We show that renormalization group(RG) theory can be used to give an analytic description of the evolution of a perturbed KdV equation. The equations describing the deformation of its shape as the effect of perturbation are RG equations. The RG approach may be simpler than inverse scattering theory(IST) and another approaches, because it dose not rely on any knowledge of IST and it is very concise and easy to understand. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that RG has been used in this way for the perturbed soliton dynamics.

description: This study examines the strategic issues and decisions of Producers Cooperative Oil Mill, a regional oilseed processing cooperative located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The process of strategic planning and strategy implementation in agribusiness has been the topic of numerous research studies and case studies. While cooperative firms have been the subject of case studies focusing on strategic issues, the unique aspects of strategic decisions in a cooperative firm have not been highlighted. The formulation and implementation of strategy in cooperative organizations is impacted by their business structure. This case study provides unique examples of how strategy formulation and implementation is impacted by the unique structure and values of a cooperative firm. The article is formatted such that it can be used in educational programs as three inter-related mini-case studies. Questions for students are included.

description: The Loschmidt Echo M(t) (defined as the squared overlap of wave packets evolving with two slightly different Hamiltonians) is a measure of quantum reversibility. We investigate its behavior for classically quasi-integrable systems. A dominant regime emerges where M(t) ~ t^{-alpha} with alpha=3d/2 depending solely on the dimension d of the system. This power law decay is faster than the result ~ t^{-d} for the decay of classical phase space densities.
