description: We demonstrate that stability and chaotic-transport features of paradigmatic nonequilibrium many-body systems, i.e., periodically kicked and interacting particles, can deviate significantly from the expected ones of full instability and normal chaotic diffusion for arbitrarily strong chaos, arbitrary number of particles, and different interaction cases. We rigorously show that under the latter general conditions there exist {\em fully stable} orbits, accelerator-mode (AM) fixed points, performing ballistic motion in momentum. It is numerically shown that an {\em "isolated chaotic zone"} (ICZ), separated from the rest of the chaotic phase space, remains localized around an AM fixed point for long times even when this point is partially stable in only a few phase-space directions and despite the fact that Kolmogorov-Arnol'd-Moser tori are not isolating. The time evolution of the mean kinetic energy of an initial ensemble containing an ICZ exhibits {\em superdiffusion} instead of normal chaotic diffusion.

description: Automatic analysis of highly crowded people has attracted extensive attention from computer vision research. Previous approaches for crowd counting have already achieved promising performance across various benchmarks. However, to deal with the real situation, we hope the model run as fast as possible while keeping accuracy. In this paper, we propose a compact convolutional neural network for crowd counting which learns a more efficient model with a small number of parameters. With three parallel filters executing the convolutional operation on the input image simultaneously at the front of the network, our model could achieve nearly real-time speed and save more computing resources. Experiments on two benchmarks show that our proposed method not only takes a balance between performance and efficiency which is more suitable for actual scenes but also is superior to existing light-weight models in speed.

description: Neutron scattering has been used to study the nature of the ferromagnetic transition in single crystals of La_0.7Ca_0.3MnO_3 and La_0.8Ca_0.2MnO_3, and polycrystalline samples of La_0.67Ca_0.33MnO_3 and La_5/8Ca_3/8MnO_3 where the naturally occurring O-16 can be replaced with the O-18 isotope. Small angle neutron scattering on the x=0.3 single crystal reveals a discontinuous change in the scattering at the Curie temperature for wave vectors below ~0.065 A^-1. Strong relaxation effects are observed for this domain scattering, for the magnetic order parameter, and for the quasielastic scattering, demonstrating that the transition is not continuous in nature. There is a large oxygen isotope effect observed for the T_C in the polycrystalline samples. For the optimally doped x=3/8 sample we observed T_C(O-16)=266.5 K and T_C(O-18)=261.5 K at 90% O-18 substitution. The temperature dependence of the spin-wave stiffness is found to be identical for the two samples despite changes in T_C. Hence, T_C is not solely determined by the magnetic subsystem, but instead the ferromagnetic phase is truncated by the formation of polarons which cause an abrupt transition to the paramagnetic, insulating state. Application of uniaxial stress in the x=0.3 single crystal sharply enhances the polaron scattering at room temperature. Measurements of the phonon density-of-states show only modest differences above and below T_C and between the two different isotopic samples.

title: Determining Long-Term Ecological Baselines in the Tropical Andes
Creators: name: Castillo, Bryan Guido Valencia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Conservation, restoration and management strategies are employed to maintain Earth’s biological diversity and environment to a near “natural” state. But “natural” has included degraded landscapes. The tropical Andes is a hotspot identified as a global conservation priority because of their high biodiversity, and threat to ecosystems by human activity and climate change. Our understanding of long-term (100-1000’s year) natural ecological baselines is limited due to a paucity of studies in the Andes. In this thesis ecological baselines are identified for tropical Andean vegetation by comparing multi-proxy palaeoecological reconstructions (pollen, diatoms, charcoal, loss-on-ignition and magnetic susceptibility) derived from three lakes; Miski, Huamanmarca and Pacucha. These sites experience different levels of human impact today; Miski and Huamanmarca are undisturbed, Pacucha is disturbed. The trajectory of vegetation change at the three lakes over the last c. 12ka was determined, and compared, using Detrended Correspondence Analysis of multi-proxy data. The sites share a similar trajectory of vegetation change prior to c. 7 ka. After c. 7 ka Pacucha diverges from the other sites due to anthropogenic disturbance. Therefore natural ecological baselines for the tropical Andes can be determined from undisturbed sites from the last 3-2 ka, and disturbed sites from the last c. 10 ka. Fossilized tree pollen from across the tropical Andes was then used to test the hypothesis that, prior to human disturbance woodlands (dominated by Polylepis) formed a continuous ‘belt’ from Ecuador to Bolivia. A MaxEnt model based on 22 modern environmental variables and data derived from 13 Andean records were used to determine the spatial arrangement of Polylepis woodlands and suggests that they can naturally occur as a mosaic. The palaeoecological reconstructions confirmed that woodland mosaic predates human arrival (c. 14 ka) and disturbances (c. 7 ka). After c. 7 ka, human disturbances further accentuated the woodland patchiness generating a hyperfragmented landscape.

description: It is argued that quantum states of geometry, like those of particles, should be coherent on light cones of any size. An exact classical solution, the gravitational shock wave of a relativistic point particle, is used to estimate gravitational drag from coherent energy flows, and the expected gravitational effect of virtual transverse vacuum energy fluctuations on surfaces of causal diamonds. It is proposed that the appropriately spacetime-averaged gravitational effect of the Standard Model vacuum state leads to the observed small nonzero value of the cosmological constant, dominated by gravitational drag of virtual gluonic strings at the strong interaction scale.

description: Spending high cost on creation and operation of the information systems in business enterprises in comparison with their economic gain is a long-term problem, depending on several factors. Based on the analysis of the costs spent on the information systems designed for agriculture, it is possible to implement the intentions concerning an economic gain of the information systems used under different conditions of agricultural production. These include a sum of costs, an economic gain in quantitative terms, and an estimation of the risks which can result in unsuccessful creation or updating of the information system.

description: Free-electron lasers (FELs) operate at wavelengths from millimeter waves through hard x-rays. At x-ray wavelengths, FELs typically rely on self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE). Typical SASE emission contains multiple temporal "spikes" which limit the longitudinal coherence of the optical output; hence, alternate schemes that improve on the longitudinal coherence of the SASE emission are of interest. In this paper, we consnider electron bunches that are shorter than the SASE spike separation. In such cases, the spontaneously generated radiation consists of a single optical pulse with better longitudinal coherence than is found in typical SASE FELs. To investigate this regime, we use two FEL simulation codes. One (MINERVA) uses the slowly-varying envelope approximation(SVEA) which breaks down for extremely short pulses. The second (PUFFIN) is a particle-in-cell (PiC) simulation code that is considered to be a more complete model of the underlying physics and which is able to simulate very short pulses. We first anchor these codes by showing that there is substantial agreement between the codes in simulation of the SPARC SASE FEL experiment at ENEA Frascati. We then compare the two codes for simulations using electron bunch lengths that are shorter than the SASE slice separation. The comparisons between the two codes for short bunch simulations elucidate the limitations of the SVEA in this regime but indicate that the SVEA can treat short bunches that are comparable to the cooperation length.

In central Au+Au collisions a factor 4-5 suppression for neutral pions and charged hadrons with p_T > 5 GeV/c is found relative to the p+p reference scaled by the nuclear overlap function . In contrast, such a suppression of high p_T particles is absent in d+Au collisions.

description: On a complex manifold, the embedding of the category of regular holonomic D-modules into that of holonomic D-modules has a left quasi-inverse functor $\mathcal{M}\mapsto\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{reg}}$, called regularization. Recall that $\mathcal{M}_{\mathrm{reg}}$ is reconstructed from the de Rham complex of $\mathcal{M}$ by the regular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. Similarly, on a topological space, the embedding of sheaves into enhanced ind-sheaves has a left quasi-inverse functor, called here sheafification. Regularization and sheafification are intertwined by the irregular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. Here, we study some of their properties. In particular, we provide a germ formula for the sheafification of enhanced specialization and microlocalization.

description: This paper investigates the public participation (PP) process in environmental impact assessments (EIA) of three large-scale hydropower plants (HPs) in Nepal, and looks at how the process can be improved to include the interests of citizens impacted. It is the theoretical standpoint of this paper that improvements to the PP process can be implemented only within a given context, wherein the proponent (owner of the HP) allows sharing of decision making with citizens. By comparing the PP process as it is written in the Nepali EIA law, execution of it by proponents and citizen experience with its execution, discrepancies are identified and analyzed to ascertain the difficulties that are experienced and what this implies in terms of decision making. Recommendations for improving the PP process as experienced by citizens are proposed by seeking solutions to overcome the discrepancies identified and also through new methods and timing of PP.

description: We study the latitudinal distribution and evolution of sunspot areas from Solar Cycle 12 to Solar Cycle 23 (SC12-SC23) and sunspot-groups of from Solar Cycle 8 to Solar Cycle 23 (SC8-SC23) for even and odd cycles. The Rician distribution is the best-fit function for both even and odd sunspots group latitudinal occurrence. The mean and variance for even northern/southern butterfly wing sunspots are 14.94/14.76 and 58.62/56.08, respectively, and the mean and variance for odd northern/southern wing sunspots are 15.52/15.58 and 61.77/58.00, respectively. Sunspot groups of even cycle wings are thus at somewhat lower latitudes on the average than sunspot groups of the odd cycle wings, i.e., about 0.6 degrees for northern hemisphere wings and 0.8 degrees for southern hemisphere wings. The spatial analysis of sunspot areas between SC12-SC23 shows that the small sunspots are at lower solar latitudes of the sun than the large sunspots for both odd and even cycles, and also for both hemispheres. Temporal evolution of sunspot areas shows a lack of large sunspots after four years (exactly between 4.2-4.5 years), i.e., about 40\% after the start of the cycle, especially for even cycles. This is related to the Gnevyshev gap and is occurring at the time when the evolution of the average sunspot latitudes cross about 15 degrees. The gap is, however, clearer for even cycles than odd ones. Gnevyshev gap divides the cycle into two disparate parts: the ascending phase/cycle maximum and the declining phase of the sunspot cycle.

description: Eleven populations of the endangered plant Moehringia jankaе and twenty-eight of the rare plant Moehringia grisebachii were collected across its natural range from Bulgaria. Their genetic diversity was investigated through fifteen selected Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) primers. The ISSR primers produced a total of 285 bands, of which 275 were polymorphic and 10 – monomorphic. Capability of the primers was assessed through the high mean values for the polymorphic information content (0.78), effective multiplex ratio (14.73), resolving power (27.90) and marker index (11.36). Based on the obtained mean values of the molecular data the species M. grisebachii (effective number of alleles = 1.39, Shannon’s information index = 0.38, expected heterozygosity = 0.24, Nei's genetic diversity = 0.25, gene flow= 0.65) demonstrated higher genetic diversity than the species M. jankaе (effective number of alleles = 1.28, Shannon’s information index = 0.26, expected heterozygosity = 0.17, Nei's genetic diversity = 0.23, gene flow = 0.52). These results were supported by Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), showing higher variability within populations of M. jankaе (90%) and M. grisebachii (62%), than among populations - 10% and 38%, respectively, and 25% among both species. Neighbor joining and principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) grouped the thirty-nine studied populations by species and region of spread. The data are applicable in conservation programs for protecting and keeping of both species.

description: This paper presents algorithms for computing the Groebner fan of an arbitrary polynomial ideal. The computation involves enumeration of all reduced Groebner bases of the ideal. Our algorithms are based on a uniform definition of the Groebner fan that applies to both homogeneous and non-homogeneous ideals and a proof that this object is a polyhedral complex. We show that the cells of a Groebner fan can easily be oriented acyclically and with a unique sink, allowing their enumeration by the memory-less reverse search procedure. The significance of this follows from the fact that Groebner fans are not always normal fans of polyhedra in which case reverse search applies automatically. Computational results using our implementation of these algorithms in the software package Gfan are included.

description: The goal of the University Of British Columbia Food System Project (UBCFSP) is to create a sustainable UBC food system with the collaboration of multiple partners as well as the involvement of students from AGSC 450. For our scenario, our targets are to create a garden using sustainable practices to be used as a model for urban Agriculture and a space for learning as well as to provide food that can be used in the LFS community. In order to create a greater sense of awareness of LFS values, we worked in partners with UBC Farm, Agora Café, AgUS, Friends of the Farm and Faculty of Land and Food Systems to create a connection between the LFS faculty and the greater UBC community. During the planning process, our group has reviewed some literatures and websites on community gardens to obtain more background information on developing the LFS garden. This led us to understand the steps and reasons for garden expansion. In order to create a production and distribution plan, we went about interviewing and emailing ones that know well about the types and amount of crops that Agora and AgUS want as produce. We have also created a harvesting plan and layout with the help of faculty members as well as professionals. In addition to interviews, we also met up with we visited Stewardship of the garden is very important. We achieved this by setting up a committee that comprise of faculty, staff and students to oversee the maintenance, financial management and enhancement of the garden. In particular, a manger position is created to control the operations as well as to report to the committee. In order to make use of the garden for educational opportunities, we made a list of possible courses and contacted professors who would be interested in incorporating the garden into their curriculum. We prepared a budget list for start-up costs associated with plant materials, tools, and the pathway and finally, have made some recommendations for the future of the garden.

title: Identification of Genes Which Affect Chromosomal Instability (CIN) in a Dosage-Sensitive Manner in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Creators: name: Heinecke, Dominic
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Chromosomal instability (CIN) refers to circumstances which can alter the chromosomal content of a cell during its division. Aneuploidy is known to be a direct result of CIN but importantly has recently been shown to affect CIN itself. A possible reason as to why aneuploidy could influence CIN is by gene copy-number-variation (CNV) of dosage sensitive genes that are present on the chromosome which was lost or gained by the aneuploid cell. To test this hypothesis, our lab developed a novel form of CIN assay in budding yeast, termed Improved GFP-based Chromosome Transmission Fidelity (iCTF) assay, which allows us to determine the effects that slight copy number changes of individual genes have on CIN in a high-throughput manner. We utilized this assay to systematically screen for genes which can affect the loss rate of a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) when (1) their copy number was increased by a gene containing plasmid (Over-Dosage CIN) or (2) decreased due to haploid insufficiency (HI-CIN). We identified and validated 36 CIN genes in the Over-Dosage CIN screen as well as 139 CIN genes in the HI-CIN screen. From these 175 CIN genes, in total, only 25 known CIN genes were identified by previous screens, which leave 150 novel CIN genes. Most interestingly, 9 out of 175 CIN gene candidates decrease CIN. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of this phenotype. CIN and aneuploidy are widely known to frequently co-exist in tumorigenic tissues and that they can be caused by loss or gain of certain genes, often involved in maintenance of genomic integrity. The spectrum of such genes is only partially known and it is so far impossible to predict the effects that individual mutations could have on chromosomal instability, especially in such a complex and diverse background as cancer cells. To address this issue we present here a fast and reliable method to determine the effects of single copy number variations in CIN in a quantitative manner.
title: An Investigation Into Grouping Practices and Educational Trajectories Within a Year One Classroom
Creators: name: Kitto, Eleanor
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: My research aimed to investigate learning in context by exploring the experiences of Year One children (aged 5 and 6 years old) within a single form entry Primary School in Sussex. The research uses an ethnographic case study approach and applies socio-cultural theoretical perspectives to attempt to understand some of the multifaceted influences that construct the cultural practices within the Year One class, with a particular focus on grouping practices and the repercussions of the children's differing experiences for acculturation within the school and the school system. The data were collected over one academic year and comprised of documentation, field notes, a research diary, semi-structured interviews and classroom observations using video recording equipment. The ethnographic case study approach and data collection techniques were designed to accumulate detailed data which represented the cultural context, the individuals within it and their interactions during the class activities. The research explores conceptions of 'ability' within the school and considers how the children's familiarity with school based practices and linguistic competences act to construct interpretations of their 'ability' which potentially enhances, or constrains, participation in school activity. The research foregrounds six focus children to explore their experiences, activity and interactions within the class, to construct an analysis of the class activity at different levels of social or cultural interaction and explicate some of the interplay between each, to attempt to understand learning in context. The main themes from the analysis focus on notable differences between child-to-child interactions, adult-to-child interactions and learning opportunities across each of the 'ability' groups. The research considers how notions of ability act to structure children's experiences and subsequently influence identities, impact upon future activity and perpetuate inequalities.

description: This paper provides a brief synthesis of research conducted on gender in irrigation, and the tools and frameworks used in the past to promote improvement for women in on-farm agricultural water management. It then presents results from the pilot of the Gender in Irrigation Learning and Improvement Tool (GILIT) in locations in Malawi and Uzbekistan in 2015. Through the results of the tool, the paper looks at benefit sharing between men and women farmers: (i) access to irrigation scheme resources (including information, for example, in the design phase; land, water and other inputs); (ii) participation in scheme management; and (iii) access to scheme benefits, including access to market information, packaging and payments. The indicators for the tool were modelled after principles reflected in existing gender policies and strategies, and intended to improve performance at field level in line with national and regional goals. The paper concludes with informal and formal constraints to gender-equitable outcomes from irrigation investments identified during the pilot, and suggests how the tool can be used by various development actors to improve the benefits for women from investments in agricultural water management.

description: This report outlines a participatory approach for mapping actors along value chains. The methodology provides novel ideas on how to combine value chain analysis with participatory statistics and visual network research approaches, to generate valuable insights about complex value chains together with local stakeholders in a cost effective way. A framework is introduced, which provides a canvas for mapping actors onto different analytical dimensions relevant in value chain analysis. After outlining some of the conceptual foundations and the methodological approach, a sequence of steps for mapping actors and their relationships is described. The experience from a case study is used to illustrate the steps involved. The case study is on fodder value chains in the Sahelian agro-ecological zone of Burkina Faso, but the mapping approach can be adapted to a range of contexts.

description: This paper investigates the price dynamics between a selection of international staple food and cash crop futures prices. This price interaction is particularly relevant for developing countries that rely on cash crop export earnings to finance their staple food import requirements. We employ a multivariate Copula-DCC-GARCH model to characterize the cash crop and staple food price interaction over time and a rolling-sample volatility index to identify the direction of the volatility spillover for staple-cash commodity pairs. Results show that the intensity of interaction varies considerably over the sample time, but is, generally positive, and stronger during the period 2007-2012 associated with high commodity prices and financial market stress.

description: In the recent years it has become increasingly apparent that the food system is in crisis, with unsustainable practices running rampant. Not only are health related issues such as obesity a problem, but other sustainability issues such as food miles and disposal of waste products are a growing concern. In our group, we were challenged to create a plan for developing a sustainable food service facility in the new Beaty Biodiversity Centre. Although, it is unlikely for any one facility to become 100% sustainable we researched and developed a plan for it to reach its maximum potential. Aspects that are discussed in this paper include building supplies for constructing the outlet, proposed food items and recipes, serving-ware and waste disposal. Also included are recommendations for future AgSc450 students, as well as UBC Food Services to ensure the creation of this sustainable food outlet.

description: The production of exhalation from different industrial and energy resources in Slovakia shows a decreasing trend. At present, domestic exhalation resources produce 330,000 t SO2 225,000 t nitrogen x-oxids (NO), and 250,000 t fly ashes per annum. About 160,000 ha of agricultural soil is contaminated, and 30,000 ha is metallized and alcalized. The amount of damage from exhalations per hectare ranges from Skk 880 to 3, 500. In order to assess and quantify objectively the damage, it is necessary to know the equation of imission balance and the progress of the phases of economical damage.

description: Additional file 2: Supplemental Figure 2. Representative images of traces of intracellular calcium responses of individual microglia. For Ca2+ imaging, cells were loaded with Fluo-4. Ca2+ responses of individual cells were examined in the presence of 30 μM ZD7288 (after 201 seconds of baseline measurement) and subsequent ATP-application (200 μM, 300 seconds after ZD7288 application). A. About 41% of all microglia followed (38/92) did not show any changes of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) upon ZD7288 application, although ATP led to high [Ca2+]i. B. The majority of all followed microglia (>50%) showed a constant slow increase of [Ca2+]i. Single cells revealed different calcium responses than described in A and B upon treatment with ZD7288: C. Ca2+ peak with slow reduction of [Ca2+]i,. D. Ca2+ oscillations or Ca2+ peaks on top of an elevated Ca2+ level or. E. Ca2+ peak with rapid reduction of [Ca2+]i.
