description: In this study we have analyzed the trade of agri-food products in Mediterranean countries, included in the Union for the Mediterranean, to identify specialization patterns of agri-food sector within Mediterranean basin. Through RCA index (Balassa) has been able to assess the growing importance that extra European Union countries are gradually gaining in traditional agri-food sector, such as fruit and vegetables, and in other higher value-added agri-food sector as processed products, for which only a decade earlier, were less competitive positions. In contrast, the main EU Mediterranean countries show a stability of their agri-food specialization model with a few exceptions mainly concerning products with a high degree of manipulation.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht jenes Spannungsverhältnis, das sich zwischen der Stadt und dem Handel, der Architektur und ihrem Markt aufspannt. Hypothese dabei ist, dass die Stadt zwar nicht minder Ort des Handels ist, dass sie beziehungsweise ihre Elemente aber zum einen ebenso Objekt, daher Gut wird (und was dies bedeuten mag) und wie sie zum anderen als spezifisch Agierende in Stellung gebracht wird. Diese Arbeit ist in zwei Teile strukturiert. Teil 1 analysiert, wie sich das komplizierte Verhältnis manifestiert und gibt Einblick in ebenjene Manifestationen in Kapiteln über Bodenpolitik, Leistbarkeit, die unternehmerische Stadt, sowie Strategien wie Public-Private Partnerships und Business Improvement Districts. Fokussiert wird dabei auf Entwicklungen der Gegenwart. Teil 2 ist entkoppelt, aber thematisch verknüpft: Dieser Abschnitt behandelt die Thematik in einer anderen Sphäre, in der die allegorische Figur des Handelsmanns zu einer Hauptfigur eines Librettos wird, sich der Stadt und dem Handel daher literarisch zugewendet wird.
description: This diploma investigates the field of tension spanning between the city and trade, architecture and its market. Commencing from the hypothesis that the city is less a location of trade but it respectively its elements become an object that turns into a good, it aims to analyze what that could mean and how the city itself is positioned as a stakeholder. The text consists of two parts. Part 1 analyses how the complex relationship in between city and trade manifests and gives an insight in those manifestations through a series of chapters concering, respectively, politics of land (Bodenpolitik), affordability (Leistbarkeit), the Entrepreneurial City (die Unternehmerische Stadt), as well as strategies like public- private partnerships and business improvement districts. The focus of this part is current developments. Part 2 is independent from part 1 but thematically connected; it discusses the topic through a different spectrum: The allegorical figure of the merchant turns into the protagonist of a libretto and thus, the encounter of city and trade takes place literarily.

description: Un environnement agricole, forestier ou naturel constitue un cadre de vie que peuvent rechercher des ménages. En intégrant ce comportement à un modèle d'économie urbaine, on engendre des ceintures périurbaines où les agriculteurs produisent des aménités que consomment les habitants. La résolution de ce modèle permet d'obtenir des valeurs prédites de certaines variables, que l'on peut comparer aux valeurs observées dans la réalité. Le calibrage du modèle, c'est-à-dire la minimisation de l'écart entre prédictions et observations, fournit une valeur de variables inobservables, en particulier le prix des aménités agricoles.
Improving spectroscopic lithium abundances. Fitting functions for 3D non-LTE corrections in FGK stars of different metallicity

description: Accurate spectroscopic lithium abundances are essential in addressing a variety of open questions, such as the origin of a uniform lithium content in the atmospheres of metal-poor stars (Spite plateau) or the existence of a correlation between the properties of extra-solar planetary systems and the lithium abundance of their host stars. We have developed a tool that allows the user to improve the accuracy of standard lithium abundance determinations based on 1D model atmospheres and the assumption of Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) by applying corrections that account for hydrodynamic (3D) and non-LTE (NLTE) effects in FGK stars of different metallicity. Based on a grid of CO5BOLD 3D models and associated 1D hydrostatic atmospheres, we computed three libraries of synthetic spectra of the lithium line at 670.8 nm for a wide range of lithium abundances, accounting for detailed line formation in 3D NLTE, 1D NLTE, and 1D LTE, respectively. The resulting curves-of-growth were then used to derive 3D NLTE and 1D NLTE lithium abundance corrections. We demonstrate that 3D and NLTE effects are small for metal-poor stars on the Spite plateau, leading to errors of at most +/-0.05 dex if ignored. The largest corrections are found at the coolest effective temperature, Teff=5000 K, where they can reach -0.4 dex for the strongest lines. We present analytical functions for evaluating the corrections and for directly converting a given lithium abundance into an equivalent width, or vice versa, a given equivalent width (EW) into a lithium abundance. For convenience, a Python script is made available that evaluates all fitting functions for given Teff, log g, [Fe/H], and A(Li) or EW. By means of the fitting functions, the results of complex 3D and NLTE calculations are made readily accessible and quickly applicable to large samples of stars across a wide range of metallicities.

description: Les réformes de la politique agricole commune (PAC) de mars 1999 (réforme Agenda 2000) et de juin 2003 (compromis de Luxembourg) s'inscrivent dans un processus commencé quelques années plus tôt avec la réforme de 1992 (réforme MacSharry). Loin de supprimer l'intervention et de libéraliser totalement les marchés, la réforme de 1992 constitue néanmoins une rupture. Elle propose en effet de diminuer le soutien par les prix et de compenser les pertes induites de revenu par des aides directes assises sur les facteurs de production terre (céréales et oléoprotéagineux) et cheptel (viande bovine). La réforme de 1999 correspond à un pas de plus dans la même direction, avec de nouvelles baisses des prix institutionnels et la compensation partielle des pertes de revenu par des aides directes toujours assises sur les facteurs primaires de production. La réforme de 2003 va encore plus loin en supprimant le lien entre les aides directes et les choix de produits, en d'autres termes en "découplant" les aides directes de soutien des revenus agricoles. Cette note présente les principales dispositions des deux réformes de 1999 et de 2003.

description: The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) has surveyed a large sample (> 100) of active galactic nuclei in the low-redshift universe (z < 1). Its response at short wavelengths makes it possible to measure directly the far ultraviolet spectral properties of quasistellar objects (QSOs) and Seyfert 1 galaxies at z < 0.3. Using archival FUSE spectra, we form a composite extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum of QSOs at z < 0.67. After consideration of many possible sources of systematic error in our analysis, we find that the spectral slope of the FUSE composite spectrum, α= -0.56^+0.38_-0.28 for F_ν\propto ν^α, is significantly harder than the EUV (λ\lesssim 1200 A) portion of the composite spectrum of QSOs with z > 0.33 formed from archival Hubble Space Telescope spectra, α=-1.76 \pm 0.12. We identify several prominent emission lines in the \fuse composite and find that the high-ionization O VI and Ne VIII emission lines are enhanced relative to the HST composite. Power law continuum fits to the individual FUSE AGN spectra reveal a correlation between EUV spectral slope and AGN luminosity in the FUSE and FUSE + HST samples in the sense that lower luminosity AGNs show harder spectral slopes. We find an anticorrelation between the hardness of the EUV spectral slope and AGN black hole mass, using estimates of this quantity found in the literature. We interpret these results in the context of the well-known anticorrelation between AGN luminosity and emission line strength, the Baldwin effect, given that the median luminosity of the FUSE AGN sample is an order of magnitude lower than that of the HST sample.

description: Let $D$ be an integral domain. A nonzero nonunit $a$ of $D$ is called a valuation element if there is a valuation overring $V$ of $D$ such that $aV\cap D=aD$. We say that $D$ is a valuation factorization domain (VFD) if each nonzero nonunit of $D$ can be written as a finite product of valuation elements. In this paper, we study some ring-theoretic properties of VFDs. Among other things, we show that (i) a VFD $D$ is Schreier, and hence ${\rm Cl}_t(D)=\{0\}$, (ii) if $D$ is a P$v$MD, then $D$ is a VFD if and only if $D$ is a weakly Matlis GCD-domain, if and only if $D[X]$, the polynomial ring over $D$, is a VFD and (iii) a VFD $D$ is a weakly factorial GCD-domain if and only if $D$ is archimedean. We also study a unique factorization property of VFDs.

description: A l'aide d'un modèle régional d'offre optimisant le revenu agricole des exploitations sous un ensemble de contraintes et simulant parallèlement les évolutions des structures agricoles sur la période 2002-2012, les impacts du compromis de Luxembourg sur les revenus et sur les structures agricoles, sur les assolements et sur la déprise (non culture) ont été analysés, dans les régions céréalières intermédiaires. Les simulations montrent un léger risque de déprise, 8% des exploitations, si les prix des céréales diminuent nettement, 81€ à l'horizon 2012. Un recouplage de 25% des aides fait disparaître la déprise dans ce scénario de prix qui suppose une baisse du prix d'intervention. Suite au compromis de Luxembourg, le maintien du prix d'intervention devrait normalement empêcher une baisse aussi importante des prix et freiner donc naturellement la déprise. Alors que les ultimes propositions "Fischler" (scénario 1) auraient entraîné des baisses importantes de revenu agricole par hectare et par exploitation, le compromis de Luxembourg (scénario 2) devrait permettre un maintien du revenu par exploitation en euros constants (taux d'inflation 1,4%), sachant que 12% des exploitations disparaissent à l'horizon 2012, selon le modèle. Le découplage fait peu évoluer l'équilibre entre les céréales et les oléagineux, ce qui n'est pas surprenant puisque les aides couplées par culture sont identiques depuis l'application de l'Agenda 2000.

description: La dernière réforme de la PAC poursuit celle de 1992, elle-même confirmée par l'Agenda 2000, dans le découplage des soutiens directs à la production. Afin de voir les adaptations des exploitations d'élevage bovin allaitant, des simulations de différentes options d'application de la réforme ont été faites pour les principaux cas d'exploitations, plus ou moins intensives, naisseurs ou naisseurs-engraisseurs de taurillons ou de boeufs, avec plus ou moins de cultures, situées dans les 3 régions charolaise, limousine et Pays de Loire. Les tendances qui se dégagent, après adaptations à prix stables, soutiens globalement maintenus et à superficie constante, sont la faible incidence sur le résultat économique, la réduction des cultures au profit des prairies et du cheptel, l'augmentation du nombre de vaches après diminution dans la situation de référence, le maintien de la finition des femelles avec les rapports de prix entre catégories de 1998, et l'engraissement des mâles plus difficile mais maintenu dans certaines options dans les systèmes naisseurs-engraisseurs étudiés.
A working/living waterfront: Design of a mixed-use work/live community in Vancouver’s Eburne Lands

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Waterfront is the edge at which land and water meet. This powerful intersection plays a significant role in imaging the sustainable city. To design a working, sustainable waterfront neighbourhood is to generate creative, elegant solutions which care for the certain context / place and people's needs. The project site is located in Eburne Lands along the North Arm Fraser River in Vancouver, and primarily based on case studies of urban industrial developments in Vancouver and some post-industrial cities in the US. Zoning strategies, block scales, building footprints, building types, street patterns and general issues in these industrial districts are explored. Sustainable design strategies are used to solve the issues and generate design evaluation criteria. Integrating the design criteria and site information and analysis, it creates general design principles and guidelines for the design of the Eburne Lands project. The research and design aim of this project is to create a model for a sustainable, mixed-use, work/live, and industrially focused community, which integrates the existing urban fabric, surrounding neighbourhoods and also the waterfront. The design process moves through site analysis, issued identification, conceptual design, site plan, and detail design.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: B-meson decays play an important role in flavour physics. The $B \rightarrow πK$ decays are dominated by QCD loop diagrams (penguins) but also electroweak penguins, where New Physics may enter, have a significant impact on the decay amplitude. Since measurements from B-factories indicate deviations from the Standard Model picture, we perform a state-of-the-art analysis to explore the correlation of the CP asymmetries and to get an updated picture. We propose a strategy for the optimal determination of the parameters which describe electroweak penguin effects and apply it to current data, utilising both neutral and charged $B \rightarrow πK$ decays. This new method can be fully exploited at the future Belle-II experiment, which will hopefully answer the question: Do these decays imply New Physics?

description: The effects of Al substitution and neutron irradiation on the conduction regime (clean or dirty) of the $π$- and $σ$-band of MgB$_{2}$ have been investigated by means of far-infrared spectroscopy. The intensity reflected by well characterized polycrystalline samples was measured up to 100 cm$^{- 1}$ in both normal and superconducting state. The analysis of the superconducting to normal reflectivity ratios shows that only the effect of the opening of the small gap in the dirty $π$-band can be clearly observed in pure MgB$_{2}$, consistently with previous results. In Al-doped samples the dirty character of the $π$-band is increased, while no definitive conclusion on the conduction regime of the $σ$-band can be drawn. On the contrary, results obtained for the irradiated sample show that the irradiation-induced disorder drives the $σ$-band in the dirty regime, making the large gap in $σ$-band observable for the first time in far-infrared measurements.

description: In order to investigate the correlation between the circular velocity Vc and the central velocity dispersion of the spheroidal component sigma_c, we analyzed these quantities for a sample of 40 high surface brightness disc galaxies (hereafter HSB), 8 giant low surface brightness spiral galaxies (hereafter LSB), and 24 elliptical galaxies characterized by flat rotation curves. We find that the Vc-sigma_c relation is descri ed by a linear law out to velocity dispersions as low as sigma_c~50km/s, while in previous works a power law was adopted for galaxies with sigma_c>80k/ms. Elliptical galaxies with Vc based on dynamical models or directly derived from the HI rotation curves follow the same relation as the HSB galaxies in the Vc-sigma_c plane. On the contrary, the LSB galaxies follow a different relation, since most of them show either higher Vc (or lower sigma_c) with respect to the HSB galaxies. This argues against the relevance of baryon collapse in the radial density profile of the dark matter haloes of LSB galaxies. (abridged)

However the inherent complexity of simulation makes understanding the expressive potential of emergent narratives difficult, particularly at the design phase of development. In this paper, we present a novel approach to emergent narrative using the narratological theory of possible worlds and demonstrate how the design of works in such a system can be understood through a formal means of analysis inspired by expressive range analysis. Lastly, we propose a novel way through which content may be authored for the emergent narrative system using a sketch-based interface.

description: Conventional agricultural practices such as the use of the moldboard plough are no longer sustainable due to their extensive soil degradation effects. As a panacea, several Conservation Agriculture (CA) technologies have been promoted to improve soil structure and water conservation. However, adoption of these technologies has been resisted by smallholder farmers and identifying causes of the low adoption rates to facilitate intervention strategies remains a challenge to development practitioners. Using data from 100 farmers, this paper uses a Tobit application to assess the underlying factors important in determining farmers’ adoption of zero-tillage, crop rotation and contour ridging technologies. Empirical results suggest that adoption and use intensity of each of these technologies is affected by a set of distinct household factors. There is also evidence to show complementarities in adoption and use of these technologies, suggesting the need to tailor awareness and promotional strategies depending on the technology in question and socio-economic background of target farmers.

description: This work introduces a methodology for studying synchronization in adaptive networks with heterogeneous plasticity (adaptation) rules. As a paradigmatic model, we consider a network of adaptively coupled phase oscillators with distance-dependent adaptations. For this system, we extend the master stability function approach to adaptive networks with heterogeneous adaptation. Our method allows for separating the contributions of network structure, local node dynamics, and heterogeneous adaptation in determining synchronization. Utilizing our proposed methodology, we explain mechanisms leading to synchronization or desynchronization by enhanced long-range connections in nonlocally coupled ring networks and networks with Gaussian distance-dependent coupling weights equipped with a biologically motivated plasticity rule.

description: It is shown that the evaporation rate of a liquid sample containing the culture of coronavirus affects its survival on a substrate. Possible mechanisms of such influence can be due to the appearance of large, about 140 bar, non comprehensive capillary pressures and the associated dynamic forces during the movement of the evaporation front in a sample with the virus. A simulation of isothermal evaporation of a thin liquid sample based on the Stefan problem was performed. The comparison of simulation data and recent experiments on the coronavirus survival on various surfaces showed that the rate of isothermal evaporation of aqueous samples, which is higher for heat-conducting materials, correlates well with the lifetime of the coronavirus on these surfaces.

description: We express the mean square deflections of the ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) caused by the random component of the Galactic magnetic field (GMF) in terms of the GMF power spectrum. We use recent measurements of the GMF spectra in several sky patches to estimate the deflections quantitatively. We find that deflections due to the random field constitute $0.03-0.3$ of the deflections which are due to the regular component and depend on the direction on the sky. They are small enough not to preclude the identification of UHECR sources, but large enough to be detected in the new generation of UHECR experiments.

End reductions, fundamental groups, and covering spaces of irreducible open 3-manifolds

description: Suppose M is a connected, open, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold which is not homeomorphic to R^3. Given a compact 3-manifold J in M which satisfies certain conditions, Brin and Thickstun have associated to it an open neighborhood V$ called an end reduction of M at J. It has some useful properties which allow one to extend to M various results known to hold for the more restrictive class of eventually end irreducible open 3-manifolds. In this paper we explore the relationship of V and M with regard to their fundamental groups and their covering spaces. In particular we give conditions under which the inclusion induced homomorphism on fundamental groups is an isomorphism. We also show that if M has universal covering space homeomorphic to R^3, then so does V. This work was motivated by a conjecture of Freedman (later disproved by Freedman and Gabai) on knots in M which are covered by a standard set of lines in R^3.

DETECT: A Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm for Behavioural Trends in Temporal Educational Data

description: Techniques for clustering student behaviour offer many opportunities to improve educational outcomes by providing insight into student learning. However, one important aspect of student behaviour, namely its evolution over time, can often be challenging to identify using existing methods. This is because the objective functions used by these methods do not explicitly aim to find cluster trends in time, so these trends may not be clearly represented in the results. This paper presents `DETECT' (Detection of Educational Trends Elicited by Clustering Time-series data), a novel divisive hierarchical clustering algorithm that incorporates temporal information into its objective function to prioritise the detection of behavioural trends. The resulting clusters are similar in structure to a decision tree, with a hierarchy of clusters defined by decision rules on features. DETECT is easy to apply, highly customisable, applicable to a wide range of educational datasets and yields easily interpretable results. Through a case study of two online programming courses (N>600), this paper demonstrates two example applications of DETECT: 1) to identify how cohort behaviour develops over time and 2) to identify student behaviours that characterise exercises where many students give up.

description: Consumer interest in locally produced foods marketed through local food networks has been increasing. Local food networks utilize local supply chains such as direct market sales to consumers through CSAs, farmers markets, farm stands, and other alternative outlets. Our goal is to examine the role of food cooperatives in strengthening the local food networks and distributing locally produced products. We utilize data from a national study which includes case studies with three leading food co-ops and a national survey of the general managers of food co-ops. We focus on analyzing the business strategies and competitive advantages of food co-ops sourcing local foods from local producers and marketing these local foods to consumers. We identify the emerging business practices, ethics principles, and competition issues for food co-ops with respect to sourcing and marketing of local products. Specifically, we provide a literature review on local food systems, examine local food definitions and recent trends for food co-ops, examine the business models and ethics principles for food co-ops, discuss the business strategies in sourcing and marketing of local foods by food co-ops, and examine the frequency and effectiveness of these business strategies to source and promote local foods. We show that when compared to other grocers, food co-ops have competitive advantages in working with local producers and often play a key role in the local producers’ business viability.

Mould growth on building materials and the effects of borate-based preservatives
Creators: name: Li, Raymond
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: One of the difficulties in establishing causal roles for indoor mould growth and adverse health effects is that the growth, metabolism, and biological activity of moulds depend on the interaction of the moulds with their growth substrates and environment. Further, one of the approaches to preventing indoor mould growth is to treat building materials with preservatives. Borates are a class of preservatives with low toxicity that can be used to protect a variety of different materials. Objectives: The growth and metabolism of three moulds associated with indoor environment problems were investigated on untreated and borate-treated versions of six building materials. Methods: Untreated and treated specimens of Southern Yellow pine, lodgepole pine, pine oriented strandboard, aspen oriented strandboard, cellulose insulation, and gypsum board were inoculated with spores of S. chartarum (ATCC 201212), A. versicolor (ATCC 26939), or P . brevicompactum (ATCC 9056), and incubated at 20 - 23°C and - 100% relative humidity for 4 weeks. The visual appearance of mould growth and changes in the volatile organic compound profile were measured each week. Carbon dioxide production and ergosterol were measured at the end of the incubation period. Results: The building materials tested differed in their ability to support mould growth. S. chartarum did not grow on untreated or treated wood or wood composites. The pattern of volatile organic compounds produced by each mould depended on the growth substrate. Borates were effective at preventing or reducing mould growth, although O S B may require higher levels of treatment than currently used. A dose-response trend was observed with gypsum board. Sub-inhibitory levels o f borates did not stimulate the production of different volatile metabolites, suggesting the lack of stress metabolism. The use of different methods for evaluating growth revealed that there could be mould growth on materials that did not appear to be contaminated. Conclusions: Mould growth and metabolism is influenced by the specific mould-substrate interactions. Borate-based preservatives inhibit mould growth and do not appear to induce stress metabolism at sub-inhibitory concentrations. Further studies on other aspects of mould growth, such as mycotoxin production and the biological activity of spores, on treated and untreated building materials are needed.

Azimuthal anisotropy and correlations at large transverse momenta in $p+p$ and Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$= 200 GeV
Creators: name: STAR Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: Results on high transverse momentum charged particle emission with respect to the reaction plane are presented for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$= 200 GeV. Two- and four-particle correlations results are presented as well as a comparison of azimuthal correlations in Au+Au collisions to those in $p+p$ at the same energy. Elliptic anisotropy, $v_2$, is found to reach its maximum at $p_t \sim 3$ GeV/c, then decrease slowly and remain significant up to $p_t\approx 7$ -- 10 GeV/c. Stronger suppression is found in the back-to-back high-$p_t$ particle correlations for particles emitted out-of-plane compared to those emitted in-plane. The centrality dependence of $v_2$ at intermediate $p_t$ is compared to simple models based on jet quenching.
