description: We present spectroscopic observations with high spectral resolution of eta Car as seen by the SE lobe of the Homunculus nebula over the 2003.5 "spectroscopic event". The observed spectra represent the stellar spectrum emitted near the pole of the star and are much less contaminated with nebular emission lines than direct observations of the central object. The "event" is qualitatively similar near the pole to what is observed in direct spectra of the star (more equator-on at 45 degree), but shows interesting differences. The observations show that the equivalent width changes of H alpha emission and other lines are less pronounced at the pole than in the line of sight. Also the absorption components appear less variable. A pronounced high-velocity absorption is present near the event in the He I lines indicating a mass-ejection event. This feature is also seen, but less pronounced, in the hydrogen lines. HeII4686 emission is observed for a brief period of time near the event and appears, if corrected for light travel time, to precede similar emission in the direct view. Our observations indicate that the event is probably not only a change in ionization and excitation structure or a simple eclipse-like event.

description: Nitrate contamination of groundwater is an important problem. The transport of leached nitrate from the root zone to groundwater takes approximately 30 to 60 years. Many previous studies ignore this time lag by assuming instantaneous contamination. This analysis applies a delayed response model to account for the time lag between nitrogen fertilizer applications to the time the leached nitrate reaches groundwater. Results show that accounting for the leached nitrate externality reduces the nitrogen application rate by 13% and the returns above variable costs by 8% for farmers who apply both nitrogen and phosphorus. For farmers who do not use phosphorus, nitrogen use is reduced by 14% and the returns above variable costs by 22%. The application of phosphorous increased returns by more than 100% and significantly reduced leached nitrate.
PRICING TO MARKET BEHAVIOR: EVIDENCE FROM SELECTED CANADIAN AND U.S. AGRI-FOOD EXPORTS

Subjects: Demand and Price Analysis

description: This study examines the pricing behavior of Canadian and U.S. agri-food exporters consistent with a model that permits the identification of pricing to market (PTM) behavior and imperfect market competition in agri-food markets. The estimation strategy takes advantage of recently developed panel unit root tests to determine the time-series properties of the data and avoid the problem associated with lower power conventional unit root tests. Among U.S. products, the conventional PTM model indicated evidence of a greater degree of imperfect competition in international markets for U.S. wheat. While price discrimination and market segmentation are apparent for Canadian exports in selected markets, the export adjustment pattern in most cases tended to exacerbate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency prices of Canadian products.

description: Lotteries are commonly used to allocate big game hunting privileges. In this study, lottery demand and consumer surplus are modeled before and after policy changes designed to increase participation. The application is to New Mexico elk hunt lotteries. Given the volume and variety of hunts, we adopt a disaggregated and flexible count modeling approach. Two welfare measures are estimated: Marshallian surplus and a proposed measure that incorporates consumer uncertainty. The Marshallian measure produces smaller and slightly less precise estimates. However, regardless of the surplus measure examined, welfare increased significantly with the policy changes, while revenues changed by less than 1%.
The Local Structure of Nonstandard Representatives of Distributions

description: It is shown that the nonstandard representatives of Schwartz-distributions, as introduced by K.D. Stroyan and W.A.J. Luxemburg in their book 'Introduction to the theory of infinitesimals', are locally equal to a finite-order derivative of a finite-valued and S-continuous function. By 'equality', we mean a pointwise equality, not an equality in a distributional sense. This proves a conjecture by M. Oberguggenberger in [Z. Anal. Anwend. 10 (1991), 263-264]. Moreover, the representatives of the zero-distribution are locally equal to a finite-order derivative of a function assuming only infinitesimal values. These results also unify the nonstandard theory of distributions by K.D. Stroyan and W.A.J. Luxemburg with the theory by R.F. Hoskins and J. Sousa Pinto in [Portugaliae Mathematica 48(2), 195-216].

description: Predator control cost-share contracts among livestock producers to control coyote predation date back to 1630 in North America and are common today among sheep producers in western states. Typically, per unit assessments are imposed on a monitorable input, and revenues are used to purchase predator control for participants' land. This study presents a model which provides refutable implications for the structure and distribution of these contracts over time and space. Historical and contemporary state and county data on sheep producer assessments support a model that is applicable more generally to the problem of investment in common property inputs.

description: Capturing value-added activity is often promoted as a rural development strategy, but this is difficult for specific communities lacking the resources to support food manufacturing activity. This study analyzes the relationship between local attributes and food manufacturing plant investments in Corn Belt counties between 1987 and 1995. Plant investment locations tend to occur in counties with access to input and product markets, developed transportation networks, agglomeration economies, favorable fiscal policies, and a low wage environment. Supply-oriented firms locate near agricultural commodities and low-cost labor. Demand-oriented firms favor locations near product markets and transportation systems.

description: We have achieved low threshold lasing of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots coupled to the evanescent wave of the high-$Q$ whispering gallery modes of a silica microsphere. In spite of high temperature and $Q$-spoiling of whispering gallery modes due to diffusion and refraction on the high index semiconductor sample, room temperature lasing is obtained with less than 100 quantum dots. This result highlights the feasibility and interest of combining self-assembled quantum dots and microspheres in view of cavity-quantum electrodynamics experiments.

description: The USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service funds three types of activities to promote agricultural exports: consumer promotion, technical assistance, and trade servicing. These "instruments" are analyzed using an adaptation of Muth's model. Results indicate that consumer promotion always increases the derived demand for the U.S. agricultural commodity, but that under certain conditions technical assistance and trade servicing can have a perverse effect. Applying the model to cotton promotion in Japan, the results suggest that, owing to cotton's modest share of retail value, the current emphasis on consumer promotion may be misplaced. Specifically, it appears that producer returns can be enhanced by emphasizing technical assistance projects that save on the marketing input.

description: The dynamical conductance of electrically contacted single-walled carbon nanotubes is measured from dc to 10 GHz as a function of source-drain voltage in both the low-field and high-field limits. The ac conductance of the nanotube itself is found to be equal to the dc conductance over the frequency range studied for tubes in both the ballistic and diffusive limit. This clearly demonstrates that nanotubes can carry high-frequency currents at least as well as dc currents over a wide range of operating conditions. Although a detailed theoretical explanation is still lacking, we present a phenomenological model of the ac impedance of a carbon nanotube in the presence of scattering that is consistent with these results.

description: We present a systematic study of the X-ray binaries (XRBs) containing a black hole (BH) and a non-degenerate companion, in which mass transfer takes place via either capturing the companion's wind or Roche lobe overflow (RLO). As shown in our previous work that focusing on the formation and evolution of detached BH binaries, our assumed models relevant to BH's progenitors predicted significantly different binary properties \citep{sl19}. In this paper, we further follow the evolutionary paths of the BH systems that appearing as XRBs. By use of both binary population synthesis and detailed binary evolution calculations, we can obtain the potential population of BH XRBs. Distributions at the current epoch of various binary parameters have been computed. The observed sample of wind-fed XRBs can be well reproduced under assumption of all our models. The wind-fed XRBs are expected to be so rare ($ \lesssim 100 $) that only a couple of such systems have been detected. Comparison of known RLO XRBs with the calculated distributions of various binary parameters indicates that only the models assuming relatively small masses for BH progenitors can roughly match the observations. Accordingly we estimate that there are hundreds of RLO XRBs in the Milky Way, of which the majority are low-mass XRBs. The RLO systems may become ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) if the BH accretes at a very high rate, we expect that about a dozen ULXs with a BH accretor may exist in a Milky Way$-$like galaxy.

Furthermore, using the resolved-sideband Zeeman spectroscopy, the Landé g factor of $^{3}$D$_{1}$ is measured to be 0.4995(88) showing a good agreement with the theoretical value of 0.4988. The results will have an impact on various applications including atom laser, dipolar interactions, quantum information and precision measurements.

description: RR Lyrae stars in the Milky Way are good tracers to study the kinematic behaviour and spatial distribution of older stellar populations. A recently established well documented sample of 217 RR Lyr stars with V<12.5 mag, has been used to reinvestigate these structural parameters. The kinematic parameters allowed to calculate the orbits of the stars. Nearly 1/3 of the stars of our sample has orbits staying near the Milky Way plane. Of the 217 stars, 163 have halo-like orbits fulfilling one of the following criteria: Theta < 100 km/s, orbit eccentricity >0.4, and normalized maximum orbital z-distance >0.45. Of these stars roughly half have retrograde orbits. The z-distance probability distribution of this sample shows scale heights of 1.3 +-0.1 kpc for the disk component and 4.6 +-0.3 kpc for the halo component. With our orbit statistics method we found a (vertical) spatial distribution which, out to z=20 kpc, is similar to that found with other methods. This distribution is also compatible with the ones found for blue (HBA and sdB) halo stars. The circular velocity Theta, the orbit eccentricity, orbit z-extent and [Fe/H] are employed to look for possible correlations. If any, it is that the metal poor stars with [Fe/H] <1.0 have a wide symmetric distribution about Theta=0. We conclude that the Milky Way possesses a halo component of old and metal poor stars with a scale height of 4-5 kpc having random orbits. The presence in our sample of a few metal poor stars (thus part of the halo population) with thin disk-like orbits is statistically not surprising. The midplane density ratio of halo to disk stars is found to be 0.16, a value very dependent on proper sample statistics.

The social practice (activity) of the integration of K-12 English as a second language (ESL) students in a diverse urban school district in Canada
Creators: name: McRae-McCarthy, Victoria Lillian A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Using mixed methods this exploratory research examined the social practice (activity) of integration for English as a second language (ESL) students in a large multicultural, multilingual urban school district from the point of view (survey, n=253/interview, n=64) of respondents (teachers, parents, students, administrators) from the school community. The study also examined documents (n=242) at a micro/macro level over rime (ten years). It explicitly raised the question: How was the integration of ESL learners practiced by various participants in an organization, both actively and in writing (text)? - to explore and illuminate issues surrounding the widespread disagreement amongst stakeholders previously documented in both internal/external school district reviews and other documents. TESOL Standards K-12 (2000) recommends against a 'traditional' model of integration and for a 'new' model, endorsed by contemporary research, and ultimately implying a language socialization perspective. Each of these models was considered in this research. Findings indicated that the majority of respondents and documents focussed on a traditional ESL service delivery model for integration centred on English testing of K-12 ESL students, but a substantial minority of respondents and documents gave other views of integration and/or views critical of the traditional model. School organizations did not adequately address issues required by TESOL Standards K-12 (2000): language as a medium of learning in relation to content knowledge, culture and student diversity. A greater focus on language socialization by schools could offer a richer and more current model for integration that would advance policies and practices for multicultural, multilingual ESL students in large urban centres and offer a more holistic approach to research amongst those in ESL, multicultural, and special education, as well as education generally around issues of ESL integration in urban school districts.

description: The production function and multi-regional trade partial equilibrium model are applied to analyze China's domestic agricultural support policy,with the focus on structure and efficiency of Green Box policy.The major findings are: China's green box policy are targeted to increase productivity and secure food supply rather than to stabilize farmers' income or reduce the income gap. Investments on agricultural R&D and rural education,which have lower proportion and lower growth rate compared with the investment on rural infrastructure,have higher return in the terms of the marginal return and cost reduction. It is found that the externality of the impact of investments on R&D and education in rural area are the principal factors which result in the underinvestment from the governments' budget. Solutions to the underinvestment on agricultural R&D rural education are also discussed.

Self-organising Urban Traffic control on micro-level using Reinforcement Learning and Agent-based Modelling

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Most traffic flow control algorithms address switching cycle adaptation of traffic signals and lights. This work addresses traffic flow optimisation by self-organising micro-level control combining Reinforcement Learning and rule-based agents for action selection performing long-range navigation in urban environments. I.e., vehicles represented by agents adapt their decision making for re-routing based on local environmental sensors. Agent-based modelling and simulation is used to study emergence effects on urban city traffic flows. An unified agent programming model enables simulation and distributed data processing with possible incorporation of crowd sensing tasks used as an additional sensor data base. Results from an agent-based simulation of an artificial urban area show that the deployment of micro-level vehicle navigation control just by learned individual decision making and re-routing based on local environmental sensors can increase the efficiency of mobility in terms of path length and travelling time.

description: Double peak kHz QPO frequencies in neutron star sources varies in time by a factor of hundreds Hz while in microquasar sources the frequencies are fixed and located at the line ν_2 = 1.5 ν_1 in the frequency-frequency plot. The crucial question in the theory of twin HFQPOs is whether or not those observed in neutron-star systems are essentially different from those observed in black holes. In black hole systems the twin HFQPOs are known to be in a 3:2 ratio for each source. At first sight, this seems not to be the case for neutron stars. For each individual neutron star, the upper and lower kHz QPO frequencies, ν_2 and ν_1, are linearly correlated, ν_2=A ν_1 + B, with the slope A < 1.5, i.e., the frequencies definitely are not in a 1.5 ratio. In this contribution we show that when considered jointly on a frequency-frequency plot, the data for the twin kHz QPO frequencies in several (as opposed to one) neutron stars uniquely pick out a certain preferred frequency ratio that is equal to 1.5 for the six sources examined so far.

description: The corona splash due to the impact of a liquid drop on a smooth dry substrate is investigated with high speed photography. A striking phenomenon is observed: splashing can be completely suppressed by decreasing the pressure of the surrounding gas. The threshold pressure where a splash first occurs is measured as a function of the impact velocity and found to scale with the molecular weight of the gas and the viscosity of the liquid. Both experimental scaling relations support a model in which compressible effects in the gas are responsible for splashing in liquid solid impacts.

description: We show that the equivalence between the c=1 non-critical bosonic string and the N=2 topologically twisted coset SL(2)/U(1) at level one can be checked very naturally on the level of tree-level scattering amplitudes with the use of the Stoyanovsky-Ribault-Teschner map, which recasts $H_3^+$ correlation functions in terms of Liouville field theory amplitudes. This observation can be applied equally well to the topologically twisted SL(2)/U(1) coset at level n>1, which has been argued recently to be equivalent with a c<1 non-critical bosonic string whose matter part is defined by a time-like linear dilaton CFT.

description: The plague of SARS is over in China, and the economy is recovering quickly. While the impacts of SARS on Chinese economy were temporary, a part of economic sectors experienced severe attacks - including the migrant workers from the rural areas, whose income has been reduced significantly. Indeed, the negative influence on the society is great and profound. This crisis especially challenges today's public risk management, citizens' behavior and moral, and social civilization and progress. To protect the interests of the migrant farmers in their tens of millions as a special social community must be paid more attention.

Summary writing performance of ESL exchange students
Creators: name: Feng, Guoqing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examines performance of summary writing of 14 Japanese students. Participants completed a summary task on two pre-selected texts at the beginning of an eight-month exchange program and then revised or rewrote the summaries at the end of the program. Students' original and revised drafts were analyzed in terms of 1) number of important points/ideas included from the source texts; 2) number of single summary sentences that combined important points from the source texts; 3) number of topic sentences invented to summarize source paragraph(s) or text(s); and 4) number of sentences that were paraphrased or copied from the source texts. Apart from these textual analyses, students' own perceptions of their summary writing tasks were also collected through a follow-up interview after they completed the second drafts. Results show that most of the students included half or more of the ten important points identified by two doctoral students who were native speakers of English. Students included more than half of the important points using the reproduction strategy. Most of them used paraphrasing and partial copying, while a third of the students used exact copying. Most of the students applied the combination strategy at least once in each draft, but half of the students included only 50% or fewer important points using this strategy. When students combined important points, no one used exact copying, a third of students used partial copying and most of them used paraphrasing. Results also show that most of the students could write topic sentences using their own words. A third of the students wrote topic sentences by copying the titles of the original texts, but in contrast, almost the same number of students produced their topic sentences totally in their own words. The writing and interview data revealed that most of the students had difficulties in comprehending the source texts or the writing task, and many were not aware of summary writing strategies. Results suggest that some students copied rather than using their own words because of difficulties with the source texts, or because of their lack of confidence in their own English competence or cultural differences.

description: Lakes Taupo and Rotorua are important to New Zealand, but declining lake water quality is increasingly becoming a problem. Primary producers are said to be impacting heavily on the lakes' water quality through discharges that reach them through streams and ground water. The paper discusses the results of ongoing social research in the lakes' catchments. Data gathering was through literature reviews, interviews and workshops. The views, farming goals and perceived mediocre to poor adoptability of new environmental practices and technologies by primary producers in the lakes' catchments indicate that policy instruments encouraging voluntary change are unlikely to positively impact on water quality.

description: Materials hosting magnetic skyrmions at room temperature could enable new computing architectures as well as compact and energetically efficient magnetic storage such as racetrack memories. In a racetrack device, information is coded by the presence/absence of magnetic skyrmions forming a chain that is moved through the device. The skyrmion Hall effect that would eventually lead to an annihilation of the skyrmions at the edges of the racetrack can be suppressed for example by anti-ferromagnetically-coupled skyrmions. However, avoiding modifications of the inter-skyrmion distances in the racetrack remains challenging. As a solution to this issue, a chain of bits could also be encoded by two different solitons such as a skyrmion and a chiral bobber. The major limitation of this approach is that it has solely been realized in B20-type single crystalline material systems that support skyrmions only at low temperatures, thus hindering the efficacy for future applications. Here we demonstrate that a hybrid ferro/ferri/ferromagnetic multilayer system can host two distinct skyrmion phases at room temperature. By matching quantitative magnetic force microscopy data with micromagnetic simulations, we reveal that the two phases represent tubular skyrmions and partial skyrmions (similar to skyrmion bobbers). Furthermore, the tubular skyrmion can be converted into a partial skyrmion. Such multilayer systems may thus serve as a platform for designing skyrmion memory applications using distinct types of skyrmions and potentially for storing information using the vertical dimension in a thin film device.

description: Recent advances in deep learning methods have elevated synthetic speech quality to human level, and the field is now moving towards addressing prosodic variation in synthetic speech.Despite successes in this effort, the state-of-the-art systems fall short of faithfully reproducing local prosodic events that give rise to, e.g., word-level emphasis and phrasal structure. This type of prosodic variation often reflects long-distance semantic relationships that are not accessible for end-to-end systems with a single sentence as their synthesis domain. One of the possible solutions might be conditioning the synthesized speech by explicit prosodic labels, potentially generated using longer portions of text. In this work we evaluate whether augmenting the textual input with such prosodic labels capturing word-level prominence and phrasal boundary strength can result in more accurate realization of sentence prosody. We use an automatic wavelet-based technique to extract such labels from speech material, and use them as an input to a tacotron-like synthesis system alongside textual information. The results of objective evaluation of synthesized speech show that using the prosodic labels significantly improves the output in terms of faithfulness of f0 and energy contours, in comparison with state-of-the-art implementations.

description: We study the electronic structure of Mott-Hubbard systems SrVO$_{3}$ and CaVO$_3$ with bulk and surface-sensitive high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (PES), using a VUV laser, synchrotron radiation and a discharge lamp ($hν$ = 7 - 21 eV). A systematic suppression of the density of states (DOS) within $\sim$ 0.2 eV of the Fermi level ($E_F$) is found on decreasing photon energy i.e. on increasing bulk sensitivity. The coherent band in SrVO$_{3}$ and CaVO$_3$ is shown to consist of surface and bulk derived features, separated in energy. The stronger distortion on surface of CaVO$_{3}$ compared to SrVO$_{3}$ leads to higher surface metallicity in the coherent DOS at $E_F$, consistent with recent theory.
