description: The reluctance to adopt value-based pricing stems from a fundamental problem created by the system: increased revenue uncertainty and variability. The literature suggests that inconsistent carcass characteristics cause revenue variability under grid pricing. The possibility that the grid pricing structure, regardless of cattle quality variations, also causes revenue variability has been recognized but not fully analyzed. This study quantifies the impact of grid variability over time, pen quality differentials, and quality grade price discounts on average revenue per head for a pen of fed cattle. Grid pricing revenue results are compared to average pricing results.

description: We replace the group of group-like elements of the quantized enveloping algebra $U_q({\frak{g}})$ of a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra ${\frak g}$ by some regular monoid and get the weak Hopf algebra ${\frak{w}}_q^{\sf d}({\frak g})$. It is a new subclass of weak Hopf algebras but not Hopf algebras. Then we devote to constructing a basis of ${\frak{w}}_q^{\sf d}({\frak g})$ and determine the group of weak Hopf algebra automorphisms of ${\frak{w}}_q^{\sf d}({\frak g})$ when $q$ is not a root of unity.

description: Nearly all known white dwarf planetary systems contain detectable rocky debris in the stellar photosphere. A glaring exception is the young and still evolving white dwarf WD J0914+1914, which instead harbours a giant planet and a disc of pure gas. The stability boundaries of this disc and the future prospects for this white dwarf to be polluted with rocks depend upon the mass and orbit of the planet, which are only weakly constrained. Here we combine an ensemble of plausible planet orbits and masses to determine where observers should currently expect to find the outer boundary of the gas disc. We do so by performing a sweep of the entire plausible phase space with short-term numerical integrations. We also demonstrate that particle-star collisional trajectories, which would lead to the (unseen) signature of rocky metal pollution, occupy only a small fraction of the phase space, mostly limited to particle eccentricities above 0.75. Our analysis reveals that a highly inflated planet on a near-circular orbit is the type of planet which is most consistent with the current observations.

description: We compare the derivation of the dynamic Stark shift of hydrogenic energy levels in a classical framework with an adiabatically damped laser-atom interaction, which is equivalent to the Gell-Mann-Low-Sucher formula, and a treatment based on time-independent perturbation theory, with a second-quantized laser-atom dipole interaction Hamiltonian. Our analysis applies to a laser that excites a two-photon transition in atomic hydrogen or in a hydrogenlike ion with low nuclear charge number. Our comparisons serve to demonstrate why the dynamic Stark shift may be interpreted as a stimulated radiative correction and illustrates connections between the two derivations. The simplest of the derivations is the fully quantized approach. The classical and the second-quantized treatment are shown to be equivalent in the limit of large photon numbers.

description: We present a stochastic approach to perform strongly contracted n-electron valence state perturbation theory (SC-NEVPT), which only requires one- and two-body reduced density matrices, without introducing approximations. We use this method to perform SC-NEVPT2 for CASSCF wave functions obtained from selected configuration interaction, although the approach is applicable to a larger class of wave functions, including those from variational Monte Carlo (VMC). The accuracy of this approach is demonstrated for small test systems, and the scaling is investigated with the number of virtual orbitals and the molecule size. We also find the SC-NEVPT2 energy to be relatively insensitive to the quality of the reference wave function. Finally, the method is applied to the Fe(II)-Porphyrin system with a (32e, 29o) active space, and to the isomerization of Cu2O2 in a (28e, 32o) active space.

description: Robot capabilities are maturing across domains, from self-driving cars, to bipeds and drones. As a result, robots will soon no longer be confined to safety-controlled industrial settings; instead, they will directly interact with the general public. The growing field of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) studies various aspects of this scenario - from social norms to joint action to human-robot teams and more. Researchers in HRI have made great strides in developing models, methods, and algorithms for robots acting with and around humans, but these "computational HRI" models and algorithms generally do not come with formal guarantees and constraints on their operation. To enable human-interactive robots to move from the lab to real-world deployments, we must address this gap. This article provides an overview of verification, validation and synthesis techniques used to create demonstrably trustworthy systems, describes several HRI domains that could benefit from such techniques, and provides a roadmap for the challenges and the research needed to create formalized and guaranteed human-robot interaction.

description: A toy model is analyzed in order to evaluate the linear stability of the gain region immediately behind a stalled accretion shock, after core bounce. This model demonstrates that a negative entropy gradient is not sufficient to warrant linear instability. The stability criterion is governed by the ratio χof the advection time through the gain region divided by the local timescale of buoyancy. The gain region is linearly stable if χ< 3. The classical convective instability is recovered in the limit χ\gg 3. For χ>3, perturbations are unstable in a limited range of horizontal wavelengths centered around twice the vertical size H of the gain region. The threshold horizontal wavenumbers k_{min} and k_{max} follow simple scaling laws such that Hk_{min}\propto 1/χ and Hk_{max}\propto χ. The convective stability of the l=1 mode in spherical accretion is discussed, in relation with the asymmetric explosion of core collapse supernovae. The advective stabilization of long wavelength perturbations weakens the possible influence of convection alone on a global l=1 mode.

description: This paper demonstrates that the U.S. pork industry is lagging its principal international competitors and major international customers in terms of developing programs for traceability, transparency, and assurance (TTA). The primary areas of weakness in U.S. TTA programs are at the producer-level and in the area of providing consumers quality assurance regarding inputs used in producing pork products. We conclude that the U.S. pork industry may diminish its competitive advantage in world pork markets if it fails to enhance its TTA programs.
Possible echoes and reverberations : Paul's disapproval of homoeroticism in context: Romans 1:26-27
Creators: name: Edgington, Brad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A heated contemporary debate interminably swirls around two verses (1:26-27) in Paul's letter to the Romans. This debate is about whether or not Paul is condemning what we understand today as homosexuality. In order to enter into this debate, one must first endeavour to understand Paul's words within their original context. By using the historical-critical method, this study attempts to capture the (plain) sense of the verses in question within their original context. First, the paper explores and critically analyzes a wide range of sources that reveal the attitudes toward same-sex relations in both the ancient Greco-Roman tradition and the Jewish tradition. Both these cultures had a strong influence and Paul's choice of words and thought patterns. Next, the investigation moves forward to analyze aspects of Romans 1:26-27 and the larger context in which this passage is contained. The following thesis is put forth: although Romans 1:26-27 appropriates the conventional language of the Greco-Roman tradition, especially in its reference to "nature" (physis), Paul's opposition to homoeroticism is informed by a Hellenistic-Jewish worldview that is influenced by the priestly texts of the Torah and Greco-Roman philosophy. Together, these influences propel Paul to condemn all homoerotic acts because they run counter to God's intended order for humankind.

description: The rupture of rubber differs from conventional fracture. It is supersonic, and the speed is determined by strain levels ahead of the tip rather than total strain energy as for ordinary cracks. Dissipation plays a very important role in allowing the propagation of ruptures, and the back edges of ruptures must toughen as they contract, or the rupture is unstable. This article presents several levels of theoretical description of this phenomenon: first, a numerical procedure capable of incorporating large extensions, dynamics, and bond rupture; second, a simple continuum model that can be solved analytically, and which reproduces several features of elementary shock physics; and third, an analytically solvable discrete model that accurately reproduces numerical and experimental results, and explains the scaling laws that underly this new failure mode. Predictions for rupture speed compare well with experiment.

description: Analysis of secondary data and information gathered from interviews with downstream wool supply chain members suggests that problems exist with the sourcing of raw wool for the apparel textile industry. Specific problems relate to 'hard' attributes, such as contaminated fibres and fibre diameter, as well as 'soft' attributes, such as origin of the wool and the nature of wool production systems. These problems may arise due to inadequate communication of quality attributes between chain members. The authors argue that more effective communication in the apparel wool supply chains requires the removal of 'functional silos', where supply chain members fail to look outside (upstream and/or downstream) their specific sectoral interests, and the continued dominance of the auction as the primary marketing system. The authors conclude that the apparel wool industry needs to co-operate to compete in dynamic, global markets increasingly dominated by synthetic fibres, in which vertically co-ordinated supply chains are the norm, auctions non-existent and communication is seen as a strength, rather than a weakness.

description: The validity of the retracing approximation in the semiclassical quantization of Andreev billiards is investigated. The exact energy spectrum and the eigenstates of normal-conducting, ballistic quantum dots in contact with a superconductor are calculated by solving the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation and compared with the semiclassical Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization for periodic orbits which result from Andreev reflections. We find deviations that are due to the assumption of exact retracing electron-hole orbits rather than the semiclassical approximation, as a concurrently performed Einstein-Brillouin-Keller quantization demonstrates. We identify three different mechanisms producing non-retracing orbits which are directly identified through differences between electron and hole wave functions.

description: We study the dynamics and growth of dust particles in circumstellar disks of different masses that are prone to gravitational instability during the critical first Myr of their evolution. The dust component is made up of two different components: micron-sized dust and grown dust of evolving size. For the dust component, we considered the dust coagulation, fragmentation, momentum exchange with the gas, and dust self-gravity. We found that the micron-sized dust particles grow rapidly in the circumstellar disk, reaching a few cm in size in the inner 100 au of the disk during less than 100 kyr after the disk formation, provided that fragmentation velocity is $30\rm~ms^{-1}$. Due to the accretion of micron dust particles from the surrounding envelope, which serves as a micron dust reservoir, the approximately cm-sized dust particles continue to be present in the disk for more than 900 kyr after the disk formation and maintain a dust-to-gas ratio close to 0.01. We show that a strong correlation exists between the gas and pebble fluxes in the disk. We find that radial surface density distribution of pebbles in the disk shows power-law distribution with an index similar to that of the Minimum-mass solar nebula (MMSN) regardless the disk mass. We also show that the gas surface density in our models agrees well with measurements of dust in protoplanetary disks of AS 209, HD 163296, and DoAr 25 systems. Pebbles are formed during the very early stages of protoplanetary disk evolution. They play a crucial role in the planet formation process. Our disc simulations reveal the early onset ($<10^5$ yr) of an inwards-drifting flux of pebble-sized particles that makes up approximately between one hundredth and one tenth of the gas mass flux, which appears consistent with mm-observations of discs.

description: A specific family of spanwise-localised invariant solutions of plane Couette flow exhibits homoclinic snaking, a process by which spatially localised invariant solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation smoothly grow additional structure at their fronts while undergoing a sequence of saddle-node bifurcations. Homoclinic snaking is well understood in the context of simpler pattern forming systems such as the one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation with cubic-quintic nonlinearity, whose solutions remarkably well resemble the snaking solutions of plane Couette flow. We study the structural stability of the characteristic snakes-and-ladders structure associated with homoclinic snaking for flow modifications that break symmetries of plane Couette flow. We demonstrate that wall-normal suction modifies the bifurcation structure of three-dimensional plane Couette solutions in the same way, a symmetry-breaking quadratic term modifies solutions of the one-dimensional Swift-Hohenberg equation. These modifications are related to the breaking of the discrete rotational symmetry. At large amplitudes of the symmetry-breaking wall-normal suction the connected snakes-and-ladders structure is destroyed. Previously unknown solution branches are created and can be parametrically continued to vanishing suction. This yields new localised solutions of plane Couette flow that exist in a wide range of Reynolds number.

description: One of the qualitatively distinct and robust implication of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) is the underlying discrete structure. In the cosmological context elucidated by Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC), this is manifested by the Hamiltonian constraint equation being a (partial) difference equation. One obtains an effective Hamiltonian framework by making the continuum approximation followed by a WKB approximation. In the large volume regime, these lead to the usual classical Einstein equation which is independent of both the Barbero-Immirzi parameter $γ$ as well as $\hbar$. In this work we present an alternative derivation of the effective Hamiltonian by-passing the continuum approximation step. As a result, the effective Hamiltonian is obtained as a close form expression in $γ$. These corrections to the Einstein equation can be thought of as corrections due to the underlying discrete (spatial) geometry with $γ$ controlling the size of these corrections. These corrections imply a bound on the rate of change of the volume of the isotropic universe. In most cases these are perturbative in nature but for cosmological constant dominated isotropic universe, there are significant deviations.

description: The usefulness of several information sources is examined for U.S. farms with sales in excess of $100,000. The results indicate that crop/livestock-specific magazines and general farm magazines are the most useful information sources. Analyses indicate that the types and number of different commodities that the farm produced, as well as Internet use, are the most consistent predictors of attitudes toward various information sources. However, characteristics that explain attitudes toward different information sources vary substantially across the information sources considered.

description: We study a system consisting of a superconducting flux qubit strongly coupled to a microwave cavity. Externally applied qubit driving is employed in order to manipulate the spectrum of dressed states. We observe resonance narrowing in the region where the splitting between the two dressed fundamental resonances is tuned to zero. The narrowing in this region of overlapping resonances can be exploited for long-time storage of quantum states. In addition, we measure the response to strong cavity mode driving, and find a qualitative deviation between the experimental results and the predictions of a semiclassical model. On the other hand, good agreement is obtained using theoretical predictions obtained by numerically integrating the master equation governing the system's dynamics. The observed response demonstrates a process of a coherent cancellation of two meta-stable dressed states.

description: Many U.S. agricultural commodity industries are currently considering if and how they might implement a mandatory national generic promotion program. As U.S. industries consider how to finance these programs, one of the key decisions they face is the choice to include or exempt imported products from promotional assessment fees. Free-riders, unwilling riders, exclusion costs, economies of scale, market share, seasonality of production, storage constraints, and the role of government are reviewed within the context of this choice. The paper concludes that perceptions of fairness and ownership of decision processes, commonly held objectives, and effective communication links are key factors affecting decisions about the structures of generic commodity promotion programs.

description: No quantum measurement can give full information on the state of a quantum system; hence any quantum feedback control problem is neccessarily one with partial observations, and can generally be converted into a completely observed control problem for an appropriate quantum filter as in classical stochastic control theory. Here we study the properties of controlled quantum filtering equations as classical stochastic differential equations. We then develop methods, using a combination of geometric control and classical probabilistic techniques, for global feedback stabilization of a class of quantum filters around a particular eigenstate of the measurement operator.

description: We illustrate the thesis that if time did not exist, we would have to create it if space is noncommutative, and extend functions by something like Schroedinger's equation. We propose that the phenomenon is a somewhat general mechanism within noncommutative geometry for `spontaneous time generation'. We show in detail how this works for the $su_2$ algebra $[x_i,x_j]=2\imathλε_{ij}{}^kx_k$ as noncommutative space, by explicitly adjoining the forced time variable. We find the natural induced noncommutative Schroedingers equation and show that it has the correct classical limit for a particle of some mass $m\ne 0$, which is generated as a second free parameter by the theory. We show that plane waves exist provided $|\vec p|< π/2λ$, i.e. we find a Planckian bound on spatial momentum. We also propose dispersion relations $|{\del p^0\over\del \vec p}|=|\tan(λ|\vec p|)|/mλ$ for the model and explore some elements of the noncommutative geometry. The model is complementary to our previous bicrossproduct one.

Partition lattices in the music of Milton Babbitt
Creators: name: Hennessy, Jeffrey James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores how partitions and partition lattices can provide insight into small-scale and large-scale analytical relationships in several twelve-tone compositions by Milton Babbitt. Chapter 1 outlines the concept of partition lattices, as they have recently been described by Richard Kurth; summarizes the definitions and conventions of the lattice model; and suggests how they might be applied to Babbitt's music. Chapter 2 examines how recurring hexachords and hexachordal partitions arise from lattice interactions of the trichordal array partitions in the Woodwind Quartet (1953). Chapter 3 applies the lattice model to the first twelve measures of the Composition for Viola and Piano (1950) and explores how partitions corresponding to the surface texture are all subpartitions of a single hexachordal partition. Chapter 4 examines how partition lattices suggest various different levels of partition structure in the String Quartet No. 2 (1954). Chapter 5 summarizes the conclusions of the preceding chapters, outlines the limitations of the analytical method, and discusses the possibilities for applying partition lattices to the all-partition array works of Milton Babbitt.
A novel nonequilibrium state of matter: a $d=4-ε$ expansion study of Malthusian flocks

description: We show that "Malthusian flocks" -- i.e., coherently moving collections of self-propelled entities (such as living creatures) which are being "born" and "dying" during their motion -- belong to a new universality class in spatial dimensions $d>2$. We calculate the universal exponents and scaling laws of this new universality class to $O(ε)$ in a $d=4-ε$ expansion, and find these are different from the "canonical" exponents previously conjectured to hold for "immortal" flocks (i.e., those without birth and death) and shown to hold for incompressible flocks with spatial dimensions in the range of $2 < d \leq 4$. We also obtain a universal amplitude ratio relating the damping of transverse and longitudinal velocity and density fluctuations in these systems. Furthermore, we find a universal separatrix in real (${\bf r}$) space between two regions in which the equal time density correlation $\langleδρ({\bf r}, t)δρ(0, t)\rangle$ has opposite signs. Our expansion should be quite accurate in $d=3$, allowing precise quantitative comparisons between our theory, simulations, and experiments.

description: Farmers are concerned about the high costs of transgenic seed and technology fees associated with the large plant population densities recommended for ultra-narrow row cotton. This study evaluated the effects of alternative plant population density decision criteria on net revenues under different lint price and transgenic seed cost scenarios. Results indicate that farmers may be able to maximize profits by seeding for a target plant population density of approximately 15.5 plants m-2.

description: This paper analyzes urban and rural food consumption in Tanzania using the Generalized Translog (GTL) expenditure system. We reject a pooled model in favor of two separate urban and rural models. Results indicate that subsistence consumption has significant effect on food demand in rural areas, but it is less important in urban areas. Hence, ignoring differences between urban and rural regions can lead to incorrect inferences and policy recommendations.

description: Plasma-based accelerators (PBAs) driven by either intense lasers (laser wakefield accelerators, LWFAs) or particle beams (plasma wakefield accelerators, PWFAs), can accelerate charged particles at extremely high gradients compared to conventional radio-frequency (RF) accelerators. In the past two decades, great strides have been made in this field, making PBA a candidate for next-generation light sources and colliders. However, these challenging applications necessarily require beams with good stability, high quality, controllable polarization and excellent reproducibility. To date, such beams are generated only by conventional RF accelerators. Therefore, it is important to demonstrate the injection and acceleration of beams first produced using a conventional RF accelerator, by a PBA. In some recent studies on LWFA staging and external injection-acceleration in PWFA only a very small fraction (from below 0.1% to few percent) of the injected charge (the coupling efficiency) was accelerated. For future colliders where beam energy will need to be boosted using multiple stages, the coupling efficiency per stage must approach 100%. Here we report the first demonstration of external injection from a photocathode-RF-gun-based conventional linear accelerator (LINAC) into a LWFA and subsequent acceleration without any significant loss of charge or degradation of quality, which is achieved by properly shaping and matching the beam into the plasma structure. This is an important step towards realizing a high-throughput, multi-stage, high-energy, hybrid conventional-plasma accelerator.

description: The beef cattle enterprises for most of the 91% of producers in Texas with less than 100 cows represent secondary or supplemental enterprises utilizing discretionary labor and fixed physical resources. The decision making process is transformed from a variable resource allocation problem to a fixed resource problem. Reliable price and revenue expectation models are critical to selecting marketing alternatives that maximize the return to the fixed resource allocation. Price expectation models using expected values, price and revenue indexes, and conditional probabilities are developed using monthly average prices for 300-900 lb stocker steers at Amarillo, TX from 1992 to 2002.

description: In this paper we study the weak Roman domination number and the secure domination number of a graph. In particular, we obtain general bounds on these two parameters and, as a consequence of the study, we derive new inequalities of Nordhaus-Gaddum type involving secure domination and weak Roman domination. Furthermore, the particular case of Cartesian product graphs is considered.

description: New light particles produced in supernovae can lead to additional energy loss and a consequent deficit in neutrino production in conflict with the neutrinos observed from Supernova 1987A (SN1987A). Contrary to the majority of previous SN1987A studies, we examine the impact of $Z'$ bosons, axions, and axion-like particles (ALPs) interacting with the muons produced in SN1987A. For the first time, we find constraints on generic $Z'$ bosons coupled to muons, and apply our results to particle models including gauged $L_μ-L_τ$ number, $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$, and gauged $B-L$ number, $U(1)_{B-L}$. We constrain $Z'$ bosons with masses up to about 250-500 MeV, and down to about $10^{-9}$ in $Z'$-muon coupling. We also extend previous work on axion-muon couplings by examining the importance of loop-level interactions, as well as performing calculations over a wider range of axion masses. We constrain muon-coupled axions from arbitrarily low masses up to about 200-500 MeV, with bounds extending down to axion-muon couplings of approximately $10^{-8}$ GeV$^{-1}$. We conclude that supernovae broadly provide a sensitive probe of new lightly-coupled particles interacting with muons.

description: The Canadian wheat Board is a single-desk state trading agency responsible for the marketing of all barley sold for human domestic consumption and for export. The U.S is the biggest importer of Canadian six-row malting barley. This study aims to analyze the welfare effects of State Trading Enterprises (STEs) as it applies to the US-Canada malting barley trade. A policy simulation was developed to determine the redistributive efficiency of single STE, a competitive structure, and a structure with oligopolistic processors.
Dynamical heterogeneities in an attraction driven colloidal glass

description: The dynamical heterogeneities (DH) in non-ergodic states of an attractive colloidal glass are studied, as a function of the waiting time. Whereas the fluid states close to vitrify showed strong DH, the distribution of squared displacements of the glassy states studied here only present a tail of particles with increased mobility for the lower attraction strength at short waiting times. These particles are in the surface of the percolating cluster that comprises all of the particles, reminiscent of the fastest particles in the fluid. The quench deeper into the attractive glass is dynamically more homogeneous, in agreement with repulsive glasses (i.e. Lennard-Jones glass).
