description: Consumption patterns for chicken and eggs have changed since the outbreak of the H5N1 avian influenza (AI) throughout the world, but its potential impact on demand has not been thoroughly unveiled. Our study examines some important factors influencing behavioral changes and estimates their marginal effects by employing the censored regression model to survey data in Taiwan. Results showed that risk perceptions, overall knowledge and some socio-demographic characteristics were profound in determining changes in consumption of chicken and eggs. Public health education programs informing consumers about the AI threat may reduce their negative perceptions; therefore, consumption of chicken and eggs would not be decreased significantly enough to damage related agricultural sectors.

description: Stress-strain relations for random packings of entangling chains under triaxial compression can exhibit strain stiffening and sustain stresses several orders-of-magnitude beyond typical granular materials. X-ray tomography reveals the transition to this strong strain stiffening occurs when chains are long enough to entangle an average of about one chain each, which results in system-filling clusters of entangled chains. The number of entanglements is nearly proportional to the area surrounded by entangling particles with an excluded volume effect. A tendency was found for chain links to stretch when the packing was strained. The slope of the stress-strain relation of the packing can be calculated from a mean-field model consisting of the product of the effective extensional modulus of the chain, packing fraction, probability of stretched links, and the ratio of strain of stretched links to packing strain. The stress-strain model requires as input measurements of the ratio between local particle deformation and global average strain, and the probability of stretching for non-rigid particles. This results in a quadratic prediction for the stress-strain curve, with a curvature that agrees with experiments within the model uncertainties. This model explains that the strength of these packings comes from stretching of the links of chains, but only when the system-filling network of entanglements provides constraints that prevents failure by shear banding, so that particles must be deformed to move further under strain. In this model, the increasing slope of the stress-strain curve is mainly due to the fraction of stretched links increasing with strain. This model for the stress-strain relation is shown to be generalizable to different shapes of entangling particles by applying it to staples.

description: We present improved results on the measurement of the angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies using the data from the last Archeops flight. This refined analysis is obtained by using the 6 most sensitive photometric pixels in the CMB bands centered at 143 and 217 GHz and 20% of the sky, mostly clear of foregrounds. Using two different cross-correlation methods, we obtain very similar results for the angular power spectrum. Consistency checks are performed to test the robustness of these results paying particular attention to the foreground contamination level which remains well below the statistical uncertainties. The multipole range from l=10 to l=700 is covered with 25 bins, confirming strong evidence for a plateau at large angular scales (the Sachs-Wolfe plateau) followed by two acoustic peaks centered around l=220 and l=550 respectively. These data provide an independent confirmation, obtained at different frequencies, of the WMAP first year results.

description: A number of microbial contamination incidents have continued to raise questions regarding the safety of the U.S. food supply with calls for improved food safety control initiatives and standards by both the private and public sectors. As a reaction to these incidents, there have been increased efforts to enhance food safety by the government and industry groups. Increasingly, process standards are being specified that recommend or prescribe Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards for production, Good Handling Practices (GHP) standards for handling products, and Good Management Practices (GMP) for responsibilities in overseeing production and handling operations. A primary concern is the potential that the costs associated with implementing food safety related standards will prohibit small producers and handlers from taking part in certain market segments, such as supplying the supermarkets that sell most of the production in developed and more advanced developing countries. Previous study results are presented that suggest economies of scale effects for larger farm size operations leading to lower per-unit compliance cost. This analysis utilized specialty crop representative farm stochastic simulation models that were designed to analyze the impacts of current and changing market conditions and government policies on a number of key operating variables (KOV). The results of the analysis provide an initial indication that the cost associated with compliance to regulatory standards does have an effect on the profitability of individual enterprises.

description: Photon shot noise, arising from the quantum-mechanical nature of the light, currently limits the sensitivity of all the gravitational wave observatories at frequencies above one kilohertz. We report a successful application of squeezed vacuum states of light at the GEO\,600 observatory and demonstrate for the first time a reduction of quantum noise up to $6.03 \pm 0.02$ dB in a kilometer-scale interferometer. This is equivalent at high frequencies to increasing the laser power circulating in the interferometer by a factor of four. Achieving this milestone, a key goal for the upgrades of the advanced detectors, required a better understanding of the noise sources and losses, and implementation of robust control schemes to mitigate their contributions. In particular, we address the optical losses from beam propagation, phase noise from the squeezing ellipse, and backscattered light from the squeezed light source. The expertise gained from this work carried out at GEO 600 provides insight towards the implementation of 10 dB of squeezing envisioned for third-generation gravitational wave detectors.

description: A cover song, by definition, is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded, commercially released song. It may be by the original artist themselves or a different artist altogether and can vary from the original in unpredictable ways including key, arrangement, instrumentation, timbre and more. In this work we propose a novel approach to learning audio representations for the task of cover song detection. We train a neural architecture on tens of thousands of cover-song audio clips and test it on a held out set. We obtain a mean precision@1 of 65% over mini-batches, ten times better than random guessing. Our results indicate that Siamese network configurations show promise for approaching the cover song identification problem.

description: In this work, we have extensively investigated the dynamics of circular geodesic (chargeless massive particle) followed by the investigation of the pulsating classical string in the p-brane background. This study is a continuation of our previous work JHEP10(2023)189, in which we numerically identified the presence of chaos for a classical string hovering near generic p-branes ($p < 7$). Here, for a particle probe, we have found evidence of chaos in the vicinity of the horizon. Furthermore, we observed a violation of the well-known MSS bound in specific extremal p-branes; however, no such violation is seen in the non-extremal cases. Similar observations were made for the classical string, where the violation of the bound is significant near the horizon. Thus, our semi-analytical arguments demonstrate that chaotic dynamics in black p-branes exhibit the (generalized) universal bound with notable violations, regardless of whether a particle or classical string is used as a probe.

description: We propose inheritance and refinement relations for a CSP-based component model (BRIC), which supports a constructive design based on composition rules that preserve classical concurrency properties such as deadlock freedom. The proposed relations allow extension of functionality, whilst preserving behavioural properties. A notion of extensibility is defined on top of a behavioural relation called convergence, which distinguishes inputs from outputs and the context where they are communicated, allowing extensions to reuse existing events with different purposes. We mechanise the strategy for extensibility verification using the FDR4 tool, and illustrate our results with an autonomous healthcare robot case study.

description: Dynamics of the singlet-triplet crystalline electric field (CEF) system at finite temperatures is discussed by use of the non-crossing approximation. Even though the Kondo temperature is smaller than excitation energy to the CEF triplet, the Kondo effect appears at temperatures higher than the CEF splitting, and accordingly only quasi-elastic peak is found in the magnetic spectra. On the other hand, at lower temperatures the CEF splitting suppresses the Kondo effect and inelastic peak develops. The broad quasi-elastic neutron scattering spectra observed in PrFe_4P_{12} at temperatures higher than the quadrupole order correspond to the parameter range where the CEF splittings are unimportant.

description: Presented at the 2019 annual American Association for the Advancement of Science The objective of this study was to understand the effects of acetaminophen on Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan and fertility. The experiment was based off a study that assessed the effect of aspirin on the lifespan of C. elegans. The original study showed that aspirin causes stress in C. elegans similar to caloric restriction, resulting in increased stress resilience and prolonged longevity. Assuming that acetaminophen treatment invokes a similar mechanism, the expectation was to observe prolonged lifespan and decreased egg production, one of the known stress outcomes in C. elegans. Wildtype and daf-9 mutant C. elegans were provided with OP50 Escherichia coli seeded plates containing a diluted concentration of acetaminophen and water at 50, 100, and 200mM, each plate hosting 4 worms of the same type. The plates were assigned to 5 study groups: 3 treatment groups corresponding to each treatment concentration had 3 wildtype C. elegans plates each, 2 plates with untreated wildtype C. elegans were assigned as a control group, and 2 plates with daf-9 treatment group with 100mM acetaminophen concentration. Daf-9 mutants were included as they have been shown to be stress resistant compared to wildtype worms. The observed increased movement speed suggests that acetaminophen solution causes stress in C. elegans worms. Increased egg production in the wildtype C. elegans treatment groups was also observed when compared to the control groups. The highest average egg laying per worm was observed in the lowest concentration of acetaminophen treatment group and declined as the concentration of acetaminophen increased. The results of this study showed that treating C. elegans with acetaminophen increased both their egg laying (at low concentrations) and lifespan (at higher concentrations), similar to the findings of the aspirin study. Conducting the experiment only once and therefore needing to verify reproducibility and statistical significance of the results is the main limitation of the study.

description: This paper provides an original theoretical framework to better understand the raise of private quality standards in agrifood chains. Reasons for the development and conditions for the effectiveness of private quality standards are identified, by investigating firms’ strategic behaviour and, more precisely, both interactions among processing/retailing firms and upstream producers and the role of consumers’ behaviour. Considering different levels of consumers risk perception, we show that the incentive for firms to develop a more stringent private standard may increase with the level of the regulated minimum quality standard. Moreover, setting a private standard may reduce the risk of consumer dissatisfaction while increasing the marketed quantity. Unexpected positive effects of a strengthening of the minimum quality standard may arise, in the sense that both market access for upstream producers and consumer surplus are improved.

description: We introduce a novel event-trigger threshold (ETT) regulation mechanism based on the quantitative semantics of propositional logic (PL). We exploit the expressiveness of the PL vocabulary to deliver a precise and flexible specification of ETT regulation based on system requirements and properties. Additionally, we present a modified ETT regulation mechanism that provides formal guarantees for satisfaction/violation detection of arbitrary PL properties. To validate our proposed method, we consider a convoy of vehicles in an adaptive cruise control scenario. In this scenario, the PL operators are used to encode safety properties and the ETTs are regulated accordingly, e.g., if our safety metric is high there can be a higher ETT threshold, while a smaller threshold is used when the system is approaching unsafe conditions. Under ideal ETT regulation conditions in this safety scenario, we show that reductions between 41.8 - 96.3% in the number of triggered events is possible compared to using a constant ETT while maintaining similar safety conditions.

description: Increased consumption of foods containing plant sterols has the potential to reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and thus reduce costs associated with treating that disease in a significant way. This paper reports the results of an investigation of the potential monetary benefits of allowing foods enriched with plant sterols to be marketed in Canada. The objective of this research was to estimate the annual savings that would accrue to Canada’s single-payer publicly funded health care system if plant sterols were approved for use. If foods containing plant sterols are consumed at a sufficient rate, a reduction in CHD should follow. This research employs a variation of traditional cost-of-illness analysis entailing four steps: (i) estimation of a “success rate” (proportion of persons who would consume plant sterols at the necessary rate); (ii) presumption of blood cholesterol reduction due to plant sterol consumption; (iii) assumption of reduction in CHD that follows from blood cholesterol reduction; (iv) calculation of cost savings associated with reduced incidence of CHD. Calculations were carried out for four scenarios: ideal, optimistic, pessimistic, and very pessimistic. It was estimated that between $38 million (very pessimistic scenario) and $2.45 billion (ideal scenario) could be saved annually by Canada’s health care system with plant sterol enriched food products being made available for sale.

description: Confined fluids display complex behavior due to layering and local packing. Here, we disentangle these effects by confining a hard-sphere fluid to the surface of a cylinder, such the circumference extends only over a few particle diameters. We compare the static structure factor and the pressure measured in computer simulations to the Percus-Yevick closure in liquid state theory. A non-monotonic evolution of the static-structure-factor peak and the pressure is observed upon variation of the confining length, similar to a liquid confined between two plates. This indicates that the density profile and the particle correlations may not be intrinsically connected in real confined liquids.

We show that the deformations are equivalent by two methods. First, we map directly the two models to each other and show that the deformations are the same for $79$ "Good" models, but not for the $77$ "Bad" ones. We then investigate the orbifold of the mirror pair by the maximal symmetry group and show that the number of deformations is the same and that they are almost the same, i.e., the first four exponents of the deformations are identical.

Development of protocols for measuring knee kinematics and cartilage health in high tibial osteotomy
Creators: name: D’Entremont, Agnes Germaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating disease which is characterized by loss of articular cartilage, osteophyte (bony inclusions into cartilage) formation, pain, stiffness, and swelling. The exact cause of OA is unknown. Many mechanical risk factors are associated with OA, but it is not clear which specific mechanical factors influence its initiation and progression. One such risk factor is varus knee alignment where the medial side of the knee appears to transmit a greater fraction of the joint load than it would normally, causing medial tibiofemoral (TF) OA. High tibial osteotomy (HTO), which realigns the leg, is one treatment for medial TF OA. Although the clinical results of HTO are mixed, many researchers have reported repair cartilage growth following HTO. This dramatic finding suggests that certain mechanical environments may prevent, delay, or reverse cartilage degeneration. Many authors suggest a range of varus/valgus angular correction, however achieving this correction does not guarantee good results. One explanation for this is that simple alignment may not describe the mechanics of the joint sufficiently well, and that a three-dimensional method may be required. With the aim of examining the changes caused by HTO, we developed a method for measuring three-dimensional knee kinematics with loading using MR at 3T. We determined that our method successfully measures knee kinematics in subjects with and without hardware, despite the larger metal artifact expected at a field strength of 3T compared to 1.5T. We also developed a method for measuring cartilage health using MR at 3T, based on the dGEMRIC protocol and determined that our dGEMRIC sequence yields valid results in the presence of titanium surgical hardware. This important development will allow us to evaluate the effect of surgical kinematic changes on cartilage health, specifically in the case of the high tibial osteotomy procedure. These protocols were tested on three subjects scheduled for high tibial osteotomy. Both kinematic and cartilage GAG concentration results were consistent with values from literature. These newly developed protocols will allow us to study relationships between knee kinematics and cartilage GAG concentration changes as a result of high tibial osteotomy and other surgical procedures.

description: Behavioral economists maintain that addictions such as alcoholism, smoking and over-eating represent examples of present-bias in decision making that is fundamentally irrational. In this article, we develop a model of present bias and apparently hyperbolic discounting that is fully consistent with rational behavior. We construct an experiment to test our hypothesis and to determine whether discount rates differ for individuals who engage in behaviors that could endanger their health. Our results show that discount functions are quasi-hyperbolic in shape, and that obesity and drinking are positively related to the discount rate. Anti-obesity policy, therefore, would be best directed to informing individuals as to the long-term implications of short-term gratification, rather than taxing foods directly.

description: We extend in two directions our previous results about the sampling and the empirical measures of immortal branching Markov processes. Direct applications to molecular biology are rigorous estimates of the mutation rates of polymerase chain reactions from uniform samples of the population after the reaction. First, we consider nonhomogeneous processes, which are more adapted to real reactions. Second, recalling that the first moment estimator is analytically known only in the infinite population limit, we provide rigorous confidence intervals for this estimator that are valid for any finite population. Our bounds are explicit, nonasymptotic and valid for a wide class of nonhomogeneous branching Markov processes that we describe in detail. In the setting of polymerase chain reactions, our results imply that enlarging the size of the sample becomes useless for surprisingly small sizes. Establishing confidence intervals requires precise estimates of the second moment of random samples. The proof of these estimates is more involved than the proofs that allowed us, in a previous paper, to deal with the first moment. On the other hand, our method uses various, seemingly new, monotonicity properties of the harmonic moments of sums of exchangeable random variables.

description: Universality of the dynamic characteristic relationship between the characteristic time $t_c$ and the two-electron Coulomb interaction energy $\overline{V}_{12}$ of the ground state in the two-photon double ionization process is investigated through changing the parameters of the two-electron atomic system and the corresponding laser conditions. The numerical results show that the product $t_{c}\overline{V}_{12}$ keeps constant around 4.1 in the cases of changing the nucleus charge, the electron charge, the electron mass, and changing simultaneously the nucleus charge and the electron charge. These results demonstrate that the dynamic characteristic relationship in the two-photon double ionization process is universal. This work sheds more light on the the dynamic characteristic relationship in ultrafast processes and may find its application in the measurement of attosecond pulses.

subject: Mechanical engineering asset management

description: Modeling, simulation, and control of the single-link robot arm have received a lot of attention in the past few years. The robot control system should be implemented and designed and come up with a control structure that will enable the proposed robotic system to perform the tasks required with a high degree of accuracy, precision, and reliability particularly under many conditions including the interaction of the robot with its environment. In this paper, neural network control theory and Traditional PID controller are applied to identify and control a single link robot arm using the equations of motion and Matlab/Simulink. Neural network control is trained to learn the robot arm behavior dynamically. The simulation results obtain a compression of the robot arm behavior in the case of using the PID controller and the case of neural network controller based on model reference.

description: Critical factors affecting risk and profitability for cattle owners under contract grazing include cattle weight at purchase and time spent on pasture and feedlot. Buying lighter animals and placing them in pastures before sending them to feedlot is the most profitable as well as least risky option. Even in the least risky scenario, the cattle owner would still incur losses 28% of the times. The results also show a possibility that at contract-grazing rates of $0.41 per pound of gain or more, the cattle owner would place cattle directly on the feedlot, bypassing the pasture.

description: Let {X_n,n\geq0} be a Markov chain on a general state space X with transition probability P and stationary probability π. Suppose an additive component S_n takes values in the real line R and is adjoined to the chain such that {(X_n,S_n),n\geq0} is a Markov random walk. In this paper, we prove a uniform Markov renewal theorem with an estimate on the rate of convergence. This result is applied to boundary crossing problems for {(X_n,S_n),n\geq0}. To be more precise, for given b\geq0, define the stopping time τ=τ(b)=inf{n:S_n>b}. When a drift μof the random walk S_n is 0, we derive a one-term Edgeworth type asymptotic expansion for the first passage probabilities P_π{τ
