description: A jelen kor legfontosabb problémája, hogy hogyan és miként kezeljük azt a válságot, melynek jelei egyes elemzők szerint már két éve, de kézzel foghatóan is közel egy éve jelen vannak a mindennapjainkban. Egy olyan helyzetről van szó, ami érinti a világ minden országát, az élet minden területét, ezért elengedhetetlen vizsgálni azokat a lehetőségeket, melyek kiutat jelenthetnek ebből a helyzetből. Ez természetesen rendkívül összetett feladat, társadalmi, gazdasági és ökológiai vonatkozásai miatt. A megoldás keresése is komplexitást igényel. Jelen tanulmányban azt mutatjuk be, hogy milyen a földhasználat ebben a különösen kritikus időszakban, illetve melyek lehetnek azok a formái, amelyek elősegíthetik a kiút megtalálását, mind¬amellett, hogy közben érvényesül a fenntarthatóság is. ---------------------------------------- The most important problem of the current ear is finding a way to address this crisis, the signs of which are said by some experts to have been present for two years in our lives – but they have certainly been tangible in our lives for nearly one year. This is a situation which affects all countries of the world and all aspects of human life. Trying to find possibilities which offer a release from this current state of affairs is therefore an essential task. It is also a very complex task due to its social, economical and ecological aspects. Seeking the solution requires a complex approach as well. This paper presents the situ¬ation with respect to land use in this very sensitive period, as well as the forms of land use which may bring us closer to finding a way out from the current crisis while ensuring sustainability.

description: Composite indicators are useful as tool for complex evaluation and aggregation of different variables of regional development. Variables which are aggregated in a composite indicator have first to be weighted. All variables may be given equal weights or they mea be given differing weights which reflect the significance, reliability or other characteristics of the underlying data. The weights given to different variables heavily influence the outcomes of the composite indicator. Aim of this paper is an evaluation of selected methods for weighting of particular variables in frame of composite indicator construction. Evaluation is verified on group of regional economic variables based on Strategy of regional development.

description: Irrigated acreage is an important indicator for agricultural water demand which is a major category of water use. Three methodologies were applied in this study to project irrigated acreage of major crops in Georgia from 2010 to 2050. These three methodologies show consistent results. Total irrigated acreage of major crops in Georgia is projected to increase for the next 40 years. The acreage projection results provide useful information for Georgia agricultural policy makers and farmers. However, the methodologies used in the study have some limitations. They can only be used under certain assumptions. Thus, better methodologies are needed for future related research.

description: We present a near-infrared imaging polarimetric study of the pre-planetary nebula: Frosty Leo. The observations were carried out in J, H and K' bands using the new polarimeter POLICAN mounted on the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Astrophysical Observatory, Sonora, Mexico. The most prominent result observed in the polarization maps is a large and well defined dusty envelope (35\arcsec\ diameter in H-band). The polarization position angles in the envelope are particularly well ordered and nearly parallel to the equator of the nebula (seen in J and H bands). The nebula presents a known bipolar outflow and the envelope completely wraps around it. Within the bipolar lobes, we find high polarization levels ranging from $60\%$ (J band) to $90\%$ (K' band) and the polarization angles trace a centrosymmetric pattern. We found the remnants of superwind shells at the edges of the bipolar lobes and the duration of this phase is around 600 yrs. The origin of polarization features in the nebula is most likely due to a combination of single and multiple scattering. Our results clearly demonstrate new structures that provide new hints on the evolution of Frosty Leo from its previous asymptotic giant branch phase.

description: To reduce national oil dependency, ethanol has been given a center stage of U.S. energy sources. The Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program was launched to increase the volume of renewable gasoline from 9 billion gallons in 2008 to 36 billion gallons by 2012, among which 15 billion are corn-based ethanol, while U.S. corn-based ethanol can hardly achieve this level. There is a trend that indicates U.S. importing ethanol from other countries, so a bilateral trade system has been established between U.S. and Brazil since 2003. The annual import is 211 million gallons in 2008 (USDC, 2009). Nevertheless, this amount is far away from the target, and the worldwide food shortage called us to divert our attention from fuel to food. China, as the third largest ethanol producer, has extreme ethanol growth potential with low production costs and large sources of cassava, which is a non-food feedstock for ethanol. This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure and compare the efficiency of ethanol production in China and Brazil. To estimate the extent output can be proportionally expanded without altering the input quantities employed in each country. The output orientated method has been developed with annual ethanol production from the inputs-- land for ethanol crops, agricultural labor force and capacity of ethanol production. The DEA results show that China has been more efficient in ethanol production than Brazil since the year 2007. This means China has comparative advantage over Brazil in producing ethanol, hence U.S. can import from China instead of Brazil in the future.

description: The Stochastic Liouville-von Neumann (SLN) equation describes the dynamics of an open quantum system reduced density matrix coupled to a non-Markovian harmonic environment. The interaction with the environment is represented by complex coloured noises which drive the system, and whose correlation functions are set by the properties of the environment. We present a number of schemes capable of generating coloured noises of this kind that are built on a noise amplitude reduction procedure [Imai et al, Chem. Phys. 446, 134 (2015)], including two analytically optimised schemes. In doing so, we pay close attention to the properties of the correlation functions in Fourier space, which we derive in full. For some schemes the method of Wiener filtering for deconvolutions leads to the realisation that weakening causality in one of the noise correlation functions improves numerical convergence considerably, allowing us to introduce a well controlled method for doing so. We compare the ability of these schemes, along with an alternative optimised scheme [Schmitz and Stockburger, Eur. Phys. J.: Spec. Top. 227, 1929 (2019)], to reduce the growth in the mean and variance of the trace of the reduced density matrix, and their ability to extend the region in which the dynamics is stable and well converged for a range of temperatures. By numerically optimising an additional noise scaling freedom, we identify the scheme which performs best for the parameters used, improving convergence by orders of magnitude and increasing the time accessible by simulation.

description: Seasonality is generally regarded as a major feature in soybean market price variations. Recent years in Arkansas have seen considerable construction of on-farm storage, a move that could mitigate the seasonality effect on price variations. A study comparing cash price indices from the past ten years with results from a 1986 Arkansas study and a recent national-level study found that Arkansas soybean prices appear to have followed a consistent and logical pattern around their national average in spite of increased variability and uncertainty.
Role of vertex corrections in the spin-fluctuation mediated pairing mechanism

description: We study numerically and partly diagrammatically the renormalization of the electron-spin interaction or vertex in a two-dimensional one-band Hubbard model with spin-fluctuation momentum transfer ${\vv q}=(π,π)$. We find that the renormalized electron-spin vertex decreases quite generally with decreasing temperature at all doping densities. As a combination of two concurring effects, i.e. the decrease of the vertex and the increase of the spin susceptibility, the effective pairing interaction increases with lowering temperature in the intermediate-correlation regime, but {\it flattens off} in the strong-correlation regime. Our findings indicate that in the high-T$_c$ cuprates the pairing mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations is substantially reduced due to vertex corrections.

description: U.S. farmers and ranchers produce a wide variety of commodities for food, fuel, and fiber in response to market signals. Farms also contain significant amounts of natural resources that can provide a host of environmental services, including cleaner air and water, flood control, and improved wildlife habitat. Environmental services are often valued by society, but because they are a public good—that is, people can obtain them without paying for them—farmers and ranchers may not benefit financially from producing them. As a result, farmers and ranchers under-provide these services. This report explores the use of market mechanisms, such as emissions trading and eco-labels, to increase private investment in environmental stewardship. Such investments could complement or even replace public investments in traditional conservation programs. The report also defines roles for government in the creation and function of markets for environmental services.

description: Phyllodelphys gen. nov.
Diagnosis. Body vermiform, consisting of prosome and small urosome. Prosome divisible by constriction into cephalosome and metasome; with metasome forming brood pouch, much longer than wide, but variable in width depending on age. Free urosome 2-segmented, consisting of genitalsomite and unsegmented abdomen. Caudal rami rudimentary, bearing 5 minute setae of irregular form. Rostrum present. Antennule small, lobate, and setulose. Antenna consisting of coxa, basis, and unsegmented endopod bearing short terminal claw. Mandible consisting of coxaand palp; coxawith broadgnathobasebearingteeth and spinules on medial margin; palp consisting of basis bearing 1 seta, exopod bearing 4 setae, and unsegmented endopod bearing 5 setae. Maxillule unsegmented, bearing several setae, most leaf-like. Maxilla 2-segmented; first segment (syncoxa) with 2 setae; secondsegment (basis + endopod) with several setae (some leaf-like). Maxilliped unsegmented with broad, leaf-like setae. Legs absent.
Type species. Phyllodelphys capensis gen. et sp. nov. by original designation.
Etymology. The name is derived from the Greek phyll (=a leaf) and delphys. It alludes to the presence of the leaf-like setae on the posterior mouthparts. Gender feminine.
Remarks. Phyllodelphys gen. nov. has an elongate, vermiform body similar to that of several other genera within the Notodelphyidae, such as Pythodelphys Dudley &Solomon,1966, Lissodelphys gen. nov.,and Nodoscarus gen. nov. The new genus can be separated from these other genera by the possession of the broad, leaf-like setae on the posterior mouthparts and the characteristic form of the coxal gnathobase in which the medial margin is denticulate and pectinate.

description: A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and End_R(\prod_X N) are commutator rings if and only if either X is infinite or End_R(N) is itself a commutator ring. We also prove that over any ring, a matrix having trace zero can be expressed as a sum of two commutators.

description: We have performed the first experimental tomographic reconstruction of a three-photon polarization state. Quantum state tomography is a powerful tool for fully describing the density matrix of a quantum system. We measured 64 three-photon polarization correlations and used a "maximum-likelihood" reconstruction method to reconstruct the GHZ state. The entanglement class has been characterized using an entanglement witness operator and the maximum predicted values for the Mermin inequality was extracted.

description: We consider the flow of Burgers' equation on an open set of (small) functions in $L^2([0,1])$. We derive explicitly the Koopman decomposition of the Burgers' flow. We identify the frequencies and the coefficients of this decomposition as eigenvalues and eigenfunctionals of the Koopman operator. We prove the convergence of the Koopman decomposition for $t>0$ for small Cauchy data, and up to $t=0$ for regular Cauchy data. The convergence up to $t=0$} leads to a `completeness' property for the basis of Koopman modes. We construct all modes and eigenfunctionals, including the eigenspaces involved in geometric multiplicity. This goes beyond the summation formulas provided by (Page & Kerswell, 2018), where only one term per eigenvalue was given. A numeric illustration of the Koopman decomposition is given and the Koopman eigenvalues compared to the eigenvalues of a Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD).

description: Aspects of the built environment may be contributing to the upward trend in obesity through constrained availability and affordability of healthful foods. The neighborhood food environment factors such as the availability of food retail stores is increasingly being recognized as playing an important role in health behaviors and health outcomes. We examine the local availability of retail food stores and their influence on the risk of obesity in North Carolina. Data on food stores were linked through county codes to individual data from the BRFSS data and multilevel modeling was employed to assess their associations with BMI. In regressions that included fruit and vegetable servings, and food store types as explanatory variables, our result show that BMI decreased with availability of supermarkets, and consumption of more servings of fruits and vegetables. In contrast increased availability of gas and convenience type food store outlets was associated with increased BMI.

description: Motivated by an analogy with traffic, we simulate two species of particles (`vehicles'), moving stochastically in opposite directions on a two-lane ring road. Each species prefers one lane over the other, controlled by a parameter $0 \leq b \leq 1$ such that $b=0$ corresponds to random lane choice and $b=1$ to perfect `laning'. We find that the system displays one large cluster (`jam') whose size increases with $b$, contrary to intuition. Even more remarkably, the lane `charge' (a measure for the number of particles in their preferred lane) exhibits a region of negative response: even though vehicles experience a stronger preference for the `right' lane, more of them find themselves in the `wrong' one! For $b$ very close to 1, a sharp transition restores a homogeneous state. Various characteristics of the system are computed analytically, in good agreement with simulation data.

description: Adrodelphys gen. nov.
Diagnosis. Body maggot-like, consistingof unsegmented prosome and small indistinctly 4-segmented urosome. Caudal rami completely fused with last abdominal somite, lacking caudal setae. Rostrum well-developed. Antennule short, 3-segmented with small terminal segment. Antenna 3-segmented withsmallterminalclaw. Mandiblebiramous and unsegmented; coxa with short, unarmed gnathobase; palp comprising exopod fused with basis, armed with 5 setae, plus endopod also fused with basis and armed with 7 setae. Maxillule consisting of precoxa and biramous palp; precoxal arthrite with 5 setae; palp with 1 seta on epipodite, 2 on basis, 4 on exopod, and 3 on endopod. Maxilla distinctly 5-segmented with 3 endites on syncoxa, 1 seta only on basis, and 1, 1, and 3 setae on first to third endopodal segments, respectively. Maxilliped as small lobe bearing 2 setae distally. Legs 1 and 2 rudimentary, but setiferous. Legs 3-5 absent.
Type species. Adrodelphys tectifera gen. et sp. nov. by original designation.
Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Greek adr (=stout) and - delphys, the ending of many generic names in the family Notodelphyidae, referring to the stout body of the type species. Gender feminine.
Remarks. The establishment of this new genus is justified mainly by the characteristic unsegmented form of the mandible in which the coxal gnathobase is short with a truncate but unarmed medial margin. This gnathobase appears to be non-functional and no similar form of mandibular gnathobase has been reported from any other genus in the Notodelphyidae.
In the presence of all mouthparts plus legs 1 and 2, the new genus is comparable with Sicyodelphys Lafargue & Laubier, 1968. The major differences from Adrodelphys gen. nov, are that Sicyodelphys has a uniramous mandible lacking the coxal gnathobase, an unsegmented maxillule, and biramous butunarmed legs 1 and 2.

description: As universities seek to enhance student retention, a positive first year experience is critical for student success. The objective of this research is to determine whether an agricultural economics first-year seminar course improves retention rates of its undergraduate students. This course provides a unique opportunity for students to learn about the agricultural economics discipline, and also gain insights into what it takes to be a successful college student. Analysis examines whether departmental retention and graduation rates improve after course implementation in 1998, and compares departmental retention and graduation rates to those of the college and university. Qualitative analysis using student evaluations, senior exit interviews and student surveys also assess the impact of this course on student success. Results show that retention and graduation rates improve following course implementation. Retention, four-year graduation rates and five-year graduation rates for the Department exceed those for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and exceed the four-year graduation rates for the university.

description: Researched and produced using practice-led research methodologies, this hybrid thesis consists of a historically inspired young adult novel illustrated with privately owned photographs and original drawings set alongside one another to tell the story of a twelve-year-old boy and his journey to discover the role his father played in the Vietnam War. 
The exegetical component of this thesis analyses the research and processes undertaken to complete this project by focusing on historical accuracy, authenticity, and the task of attempting to represent intergenerational trauma in the form of an illustrated novel. Set in a rural town in 1997 and the Vietnam War era, the young adult novel, Vietnam was my war too, explores the relationship between a pre-teen and his father with the aim of demonstrating the transmission of intergenerational trauma as a consequence of a historical event – the Vietnam War. Seeking to fill a gap in contemporary young adult fiction, it is the intention of this thesis to illuminate the lasting and reverberating significance of the Vietnam War in an Australian context to bridge that gap. 
The exegetical component of this thesis records and responds to the questions that emerged throughout the process of writing and illustrating a young adult novel. This project attempts to define an illustrated young adult novel as an artefact inspired by history. As a result of the research undertaken, fictional narrative written, and artwork created, this research identified a gap within young adult literature that speaks to the intergenerational trauma of the Vietnam War in Australia. This generated a workable and accessible definition of the illustrated historical novel for a young adult audience. In response to questions raised in the research process, a greater understanding of the way themes of authenticity and accuracy play in the legitimacy of historical fiction as a genre were uncovered. The main findings of the research identified various aspects of intergenerational trauma experienced by those with a veteran parent, the interconnectivity between research and the process of writing a work of fiction, and the process of designing artwork to express both research and creative writing.

description: The plane-cube intersection problem has been around in literature since 1984 and iterative solutions to it have been used as part of piecewise linear interface construction (PLIC) in computational fluid dynamics simulation codes ever since. In many cases, PLIC is the bottleneck of these simulations regarding compute time, so a faster, analytic solution to the plane-cube intersection would greatly reduce compute time for such simulations. We derive an analytic solution for all intersection cases and compare it to the one previous solution from Scardovelli and Zaleski (Ruben Scardovelli and Stephane Zaleski. "Analytical relations connecting linear interfaces and volume fractions in rectangular grids". In: Journal of Computational Physics 164.1 (2000), pp. 228-237.), which we further improve to include edge cases and micro-optimize to reduce arithmetic operations and branching. We then extend our comparison regarding compute time and accuracy to include two different iterative solutions as well. We find that the best choice depends on the employed hardware platform: on the CPU, Newton-Raphson is fastest with vectorization while analytic solutions perform better without. The reason for this is that vectorization instruction sets do not include trigonometric functions as used in the analytic solutions. On the GPU, the fastest method is our optimized version of the analytic SZ solution. We finally provide details on one of the applications of PLIC: curvature calculation for the Volume-of-Fluid model used for free surface fluid simulations in combination with the lattice Boltzmann method.

description: We present a novel classification-based method for learning to predict gene regulatory response. Our approach is motivated by the hypothesis that in simple organisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we can learn a decision rule for predicting whether a gene is up- or down-regulated in a particular experiment based on (1) the presence of binding site subsequences (``motifs'') in the gene's regulatory region and (2) the expression levels of regulators such as transcription factors in the experiment (``parents''). Thus our learning task integrates two qualitatively different data sources: genome-wide cDNA microarray data across multiple perturbation and mutant experiments along with motif profile data from regulatory sequences. We convert the regression task of predicting real-valued gene expression measurement to a classification task of predicting +1 and -1 labels, corresponding to up- and down-regulation beyond the levels of biological and measurement noise in microarray measurements. The learning algorithm employed is boosting with a margin-based generalization of decision trees, alternating decision trees. This large-margin classifier is sufficiently flexible to allow complex logical functions, yet sufficiently simple to give insight into the combinatorial mechanisms of gene regulation. We observe encouraging prediction accuracy on experiments based on the Gasch S. cerevisiae dataset, and we show that we can accurately predict up- and down-regulation on held-out experiments. Our method thus provides predictive hypotheses, suggests biological experiments, and provides interpretable insight into the structure of genetic regulatory networks.

Sulphur abundances in metal-poor stars

description: We investigate the debated "sulphur discrepancy" found among metal-poor stars of the Galactic halo with [Fe/H] < -2. This discrepancy stems in part from the use of two different sets of sulphur lines, the very weak triplet at 8694-95 A and the stronger triplet lines at 9212 - 9237 A. For three representative cases of metal-poor dwarf, turnoff and subgiant stars, we argue that the abundances from the 8694-95 lines have been overestimated which has led to a continually rising trend of [S/Fe] as metallicity decreases. Given that the near-IR region is subject to CCD fringing, these weak lines become excessively difficult to measure accurately in the metallicity regime of [Fe/H] < -2. Based on homogeneously determined spectroscopic stellar parameters, we also present updated [S/Fe] ratios from the 9212-9237 lines which suggest a plateau-like behaviour similar to that seen for other alpha elements.

description: To better understand how information about potential health hazards influences food demand, this case study examines consumers’ responses to newspaper articles on avian influenza, informally referred to as bird flu. The focus here is on the response to bird flu information in Italy as news about highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (HPAI H5N1) unfolded in the period October 2004 through October 2006, beginning after reports of the first outbreaks in Southeast Asia and extending beyond the point at which outbreaks were reported in Western Europe. Estimated poultry demand, as influenced by the volume of newspaper reports on bird flu, reveals the magnitude and duration of newspaper articles’ impacts on consumers’ food choices. Larger numbers of bird flu news reports led to larger reductions in poultry purchases. Most impacts were of limited duration, and all began to diminish within 5 weeks.
Exponential Convergence for Multiscale Linear Elliptic PDEs via Adaptive Edge Basis Functions

description: In this paper, we introduce a multiscale framework based on adaptive edge basis functions to solve second-order linear elliptic PDEs with rough coefficients. One of the main results is that we prove the proposed multiscale method achieves nearly exponential convergence in the approximation error with respect to the computational degrees of freedom. Our strategy is to perform an energy orthogonal decomposition of the solution space into a coarse scale component comprising $a$-harmonic functions in each element of the mesh, and a fine scale component named the bubble part that can be computed locally and efficiently. The coarse scale component depends entirely on function values on edges. Our approximation on each edge is made in the Lions-Magenes space $H_{00}^{1/2}(e)$, which we will demonstrate to be a natural and powerful choice. We construct edge basis functions using local oversampling and singular value decomposition. When local information of the right-hand side is adaptively incorporated into the edge basis functions, we prove a nearly exponential convergence rate of the approximation error. Numerical experiments validate and extend our theoretical analysis; in particular, we observe no obvious degradation in accuracy for high-contrast media problems.

Separability for lattice systems at high temperature

description: Equilibrium states of infinite extended lattice systems at high temperature are studied with respect to their entanglement. Two notions of separability are offered. They coincide for finite systems but differ for infinitely extended ones. It is shown that for lattice systems with localized interaction for high enough temperature there exists no local entanglement. Even more quasifree states at high temperature are also not distillably entangled for all local regions of arbitrary size. For continuous systems entanglement survives for all temperatures. In mean field theories it is possible, that local regions are not entangled but the entanglement is hidden in the fluctuation algebra.

description: Cointegration analysis and an Error Correction Model are used to estimate aggregate seafood import demand functions for selected Caribbean countries. The results show that seafood import demand is price elastic. Exchange rate has a negative effect on seafood import quantity. Income and tourist arrivals have positive impacts on seafood imports. Seafood import negatively affects domestic fishery production. Tariff and production support policies reduce seafood imports, and enhance domestic production. Both policies increase producer surplus, but a tariff reduces consumer surplus, and a production expansion policy increases consumer surplus. A production expansion subsidy is a more appropriate policy instrument than a tariff for small open economies, like the Caribbean States, to increase domestic production and generate net economic surplus.
Thermal mechanical analysis of wheel deformation induced from quenching

description: The focus of this present investigation was to develop a mathematical model capable of predicting the evolution of temperature, formation of thermal strains and stresses and resulting displacements within a die cast aluminum wheel during the quenching stage of the T6 heat treatment process. The development of this model will aid in understanding the mechanisms associated with wheel deformation and the factors that influence wheel deformation. A sequentially coupled finite element based thermal-mechanical model was developed using the commercial finite element software ABAQUS. The model consisted of a heat transfer model to predict the evolution of temperature and a mechanical model to predict the formation of strains and stresses within a die-cast aluminum wheel during quenching. The thermal model was validated against industrial temperature measurements acquired at Canadian Autoparts Toyota Inc. using embedded thermocouples throughout the wheel. The parameters describing the thermal boundary conditions were systematically adjusted until an acceptable agreement was obtained with the measured data. The temperature-time predictions within a 180° section of the wheel obtained from the thermal model were used as input for the mechanical model. The mechanical analysis revealed that the quenching process induces a high state of compressive residual stresses on the surface and a high state of residual tensile stresses in the interior of the wheel. The mechanical model was validated against industrial wheel deformation results obtained at Canadian Autoparts Toyota Inc, which proved to be in good qualitative agreement at some locations and in good quantitative agreement in others. This model revealed that temperature differences occurring in a circumferential direction around the wheel play a more significant role in influencing the degree of wheel deformation as compared to higher quenching rates. Therefore, to minimize the amount of wheel deformation induced from quenching, a reduction in the thermal gradients around the wheel would be required, in which a better design of the quenching system should be implemented. Overall, the stress and displacement predictions obtained from the thermal-mechanical analysis revealed that this finite element based mathematical model can be used as a powerful tool to predict overall wheel deformation. Based on an understanding of the mechanism associated with wheel deformation, the quench conditions can be optimized to reduce wheel deformation while meeting the industry standards for strength and fatigue performance.
