description: Az éves beszámolók nyilvánossága lehetővé teszi a versenytársak működéséhez szükséges inputok és a működés eredményeként keletkező outputok számvitellel mért adatainak úgy az egyszerűbb, mint a bonyolultabb módszerekkel történő elemzését. Számos tanulmányom mutatta be a számviteli beszámolók adatbázisán nyugvó hányados típusú mutatókra alapozottan, a többváltozós matematikai modellek (faktoranalízis, clusteranalízist stb.) felhasználásával a vállalkozások pénzügyi gazdasági egyensúlyi helyzetének minősítését [Reke, 1997]. A piac szereplői igényeltek egy olyan egyszerű módszer kidolgozását, amely lehetővé teszi ezen egyensúlyi helyzetet kifejező mutatókra alapozott változásvizsgálat kidolgozását. Megítélésem szerint ezt az igényt a longitudinális panel vizsgálat módszere elégíti ki, amely a változásokat hosszabb időszakra vonatkozóan, viszonylag egyszerű módszerrel képes bemutatni, ezáltal segítve a vállalkozások kontrolling munkáját.
description: The publicity of annual reports enable competition by providing the inputs and outputs that can be analysed by simple as well as sophisticated methods Several of my studies showed the quality of the financial balance of enterprises based on financial reports using factoranalytics, clusteranalytics etc. [Reke, 1997] Market participants required a simple method that indicates changes based on these balance indicators. In my opinion the answer is the longitude-panel examination method, which is able to show changes during a longer period relatively easily supporting the controlling of enterprises.

description: Abstract—Existing research treats the cooperative structure as relatively homogeneous. The proposed paper argues that all cooperatives are not created equal – and consideration of organizational structure is critical when analyzing the economic impact of cooperation. In recent empirical work, we observe cooperatives forming as single- or multi-purpose; generating equity capital passively, quasi-passively, or proactively; vertically integrating in a centralized, federated, or a hybrid fashion; governing through fixed or proportional control rights; and instituting open, closed or class-varying membership criteria. The emergence of multiple-level rent-seeking cooperatives challenges our traditional rent dispersion models of collective action. We call these multi-level, patron, rent-seeking entities a form of collective entrepreneurship. This paper develops a set of criteria enabling us to distinguish between traditional forms of cooperation and collective entrepreneurship. We employ these characteristics to analyze and contrast these two extreme forms of collective action. We propose a continuum from single-level rent seeking, traditional, patron, user-driven cooperative forms; through forms of hybrids and macrohierarchies; to multiple-level rent seeking, patron, user-investor-driven collective entrepreneurship.

description: Ground and excited-state proton transfer and electrical responsive properties along the proton transfer co-ordinate of four donor–acceptor substituted pyrazole derivatives have been investigated using the density function-based range separated hybrid GGA functional ωB97XD with 6-311G(d) basis. Both intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) and distinguished co-ordinate (variation of O–H distance of the enol tautomer) have been chosen as a proton transfer co-ordinate of the titled compounds for comparison. Our study reveals that the various electrical responsive parameters like average polarizability (α av), first hyperpolarizability (β av) and global reactivity descriptors e.g., chemical hardness (η), electrophilicity index (ω) along the proton transfer co-ordinate are in conformity with the respective optimum principles. Maximum value of β av is found in the case of nitro substituted pyrazole derivative. Variation of β av along the proton transfer co-ordinate for all compounds have been correlated with the variation of Δµf 0/(S 1-S 0)3 using two-level approximation and electronic special extent (<R 2>) along the proton transfer coordinate.

description: In the 1950s and 1960s there was a debate about the nature of an agricultural cooperative: the cooperative as extension of the farm, the cooperative as vertical integration or the cooperative as a firm. We revisit this debate with various concepts from the theory of the firm that have been formulated since 1990. Two concepts shed light on this debate: the enterprise as a system of attributes and the delineation of a governance structure in terms of ownership rights, control rights and income rights. We argue that viewing the cooperative as a system of attributes integrates these three views. It emphasizes that a cooperative is a firm in itself, with many independent input suppliers as owners. The feature of many input suppliers as owners implies that the behavioral differences between a cooperative and an investor owned firm have to be addressed by highlighting the unique aspects of the stakeholder owning the enterprise.

description: The microwave signal at the output of a photodiode that detects a modulated optical beam contains the phase noise phi(t) and the amplitude noise alpha(t) of the detector. Beside the white noise, which is well understood, the spectral densities S_phi(f) and S_alpha(f) show flicker noise, proportional to 1/f. We report on the measurement of the phase and amplitude noise of high-speed p-i-n photodiodes. The main result is that the flicker coefficient of the samples is approximately 1E-12 rad^2/Hz (-120dB) for phase noise, and approximately 1E-12 Hz^-1 (-120dB) for amplitude noise. These values could be observed only after solving a number of experimental problems and in a protected environment. By contrast, in ordinary conditions insufficient EMI isolation, and also insufficient mechanical isolation, are responsible for additional noise to be taken in. This suggests that if package and EMC are revisited, applications can take the full benefit from the surprisingly low noise of the p-i-n photodiodes.

description: The stability of the nonmodulated martensitic phase, the austenitic Fermi surface and the phonon dispersion relations for ferromagnetic Ni$_2$MnGa are studied using density functional theory. Exchange-correlation effects are considered with various degrees of precision, starting from the simplest local spin density approximation (LSDA), then adding corrections within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and finally, including the meta-GGA corrections within the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN). We discuss a simple procedure to reduce a possible overestimation of magnetization and underestimation of nesting vector in SCAN by parametrically decreasing self-interaction corrections.

description: The object of this paper is to analyze, in a general equilibrium setting with four markets, the efficiency of a biofuel subsidy policy. The analysis takes into account environmental externalities associated both with the production and the consumption of biofuels, as well as associated with the production of agricultural raw material. Our preliminary numerical results, applied to the biodiesel subsidy policy in France, first show that this policy increases the utility of the representative consumer compared to the laissez-faire solution. The same policy action leads, however, to an increased level of agricultural and GHG emissions, in comparison with the laissez-faire solution.

description: We derive the kinetic equation for fermions and antifermions interacting with a planar Higgs bubble wall during the electroweak phase transition using the `evenisation' procedure and the Wigner formalism for a Lagrangian with the phase of the complex fermion mass rotated away. We obtain the energy, velocity and force for the particles in the presence of the Higgs bubble wall. Our results using both methods are in agreement. This indicates the robustness of evenisation as a method to study quantum corrections to the velocity and force for particles in the Higgs wall during the electroweak phase transition. We also derive the transport equations from the zeroth and first moment of the kinetic equation.

description: The European Union’s Emission Trading Scheme (EUETS) and the current renewable resource program provide strong incentives to use agricultural crops either for combustion in power plants to produce electricity and heat or as a feedstock for transportation fuels. In this paper we examine the social desirability of ethanol production from agricultural crops. To endogenize the competition on land use, we employ a Ricardian model of heterogeneous land quality, where land is allocated to alternative crops on the basis of their relative profitability. The model comprises three land use types: bioenergy crop, conventional feed crop and green setaside. Industry demands crops for both ethanol and feed production. Effects on the GHG balance are explicitly taken into account in the analysis. Theoretical model characterises both the private and social optima and examines endogenous price effects. Theoretical framework is applied to barley production in Finland. We found that the socially optimal demand for barley is 13.3 % higher than demand obtained in the private optimum. This implies shifts in land allocation, fertilizer intensity and prices. Considering the climate impacts of crop cultivation, the land area devoted to green setaside greatly increases in the social optimum as compared with the private optimum.

description: the goal of this article was to determine the importance of apple attributes using two research techniques – self-explicated procedure and conjoint analysis. Research was conducted on a sample of 426 consumers of apples in Zagreb, Croatia. The results of self-explicated and conjoint analysis procedures revealed differences in ranking of apple attributes regarding their importance. It is demonstrated that conjoint analysis gives more detailed results and that it is not influenced by respondents’ tendency to give socially acceptable answers. The results of conjoint analysis also give more information for the producers of apples who can use them to create a product that matches consumers’ wishes.

description: The overall acceptability of 202 consumers has been analysed by ANOVA, multiple means comparison, cluster analysis and internal preference mapping (MDPREF). Three clusters are found with different preference criteria. These clusters can also be characterized according to actual purchase behaviour, declared consumption habits and sociodemographic characteristics. This study demonstrates the importance for the agro-food industry of examining consumers’ individual preferences as well as average ones, to obtain relevant information including not only the consumers’ preference trends, but also the most suitable segment to target a new product. In this way, the MDPREF shows that although consumers’ preferences tend to Iberian hams over white-breed hams, there is a cluster of consumers which prefers PDO Teruel ham over one of the iberian hams. This cluster shows also some sociodemographic and purchase and consumption habits peculiarities.

The study examines effects of wine characteristics and the brand associated with the designation of geographic origin estimating five hedonic price equations for Barbaresco; Barbera; Veneto (Valpolicella, Amarone and Reecioto); Soave; and, Chianti and uses weekly sales data from British Columbia retail outlets. Results indicate that, in general, a premium was paid for higher alcohol content, but the effects of individual brands within each area of origin varied and the range of price premia and discounts was from 14% to -12% suggesting that small price changes with regard to the baseline wine price could affect purchase.
High-quality Panorama Stitching based on Asymmetric Bidirectional Optical Flow

description: In this paper, we propose a panorama stitching algorithm based on asymmetric bidirectional optical flow. This algorithm expects multiple photos captured by fisheye lens cameras as input, and then, through the proposed algorithm, these photos can be merged into a high-quality 360-degree spherical panoramic image. For photos taken from a distant perspective, the parallax among them is relatively small, and the obtained panoramic image can be nearly seamless and undistorted. For photos taken from a close perspective or with a relatively large parallax, a seamless though partially distorted panoramic image can also be obtained. Besides, with the help of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), this algorithm can complete the whole stitching process at a very fast speed: typically, it only takes less than 30s to obtain a panoramic image of 9000-by-4000 pixels, which means our panorama stitching algorithm is of high value in many real-time applications. Our code is available at https://github.com/MungoMeng/Panorama-OpticalFlow.

description: Finite temperature lattice QCD indicates that the charmonium ground state J/psi can survive in a quark-gluon plasma up to 1.5 T_c or more, while the excited states chi_c and psi-prime are dissociated just above T_c. We assume that the chi_c suffers the same form of suppression as that observed for the psi-prime in SPS experiments, and that the directly produced J/psi is unaffected at presently available energy densities. This provides a parameter-free description of J/psi and psi-prime suppression which agrees quite well with that observed in SPS and RHIC data.

Monotonic and cyclic behaviour of slender dowell-type fasteners in wood-steel-wood-connections
Creators: name: Schreyer, Alexander C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the monotonic and cyclic behaviour of different kinds of slender dowel-type fasteners. To accomplish this, four types of fasteners were tested in a series of 73 monotonic and cyclic tests. All tests used either one or two slotted-in steel plates in PARALLAM®, a Parallel Strand Lumber (PSL) product. The fastener types were a) plain shank steel dowel of 6.35 mm diameter (SH), b) plain shank steel dowel of 6.35 mm diameter with threads on both ends to allow for nuts and washers to be attached (SHT), and c) two types of a new commercially available self-drilling dowel of 7 and 5 mm diameter which feature a threaded end on one side and a cutting bit on the other (SFS WS-T7 and -T5). In addition to the test regimen, the monotonic and cyclic behaviour of the fasteners was modeled using a finite element program based on the theory of an elasto-plastic beam on a nonlinear foundation. The existing program was extended to include fastener head behaviour, hole tolerances and fastener material fatigue. Testing results illustrated a direct influence of the head type on the monotonic as well as cyclic load-deformation behaviour of the tested fasteners. Strength and stiffness increases were observed with increasing head resistance. In the cyclic tests, it was found that this head restraint was influenced by permanent elongation of the fasteners. In addition, cyclic test results were influenced by slack in the connection due to oversized holes as well as fastener material fatigue. The analytical model yielded good representations of the monotonic as well as the cyclic load-displacement behaviour of the tested fasteners. Inclusion of hole tolerances, fastener fatigue and fastener head behaviour was found to be essential to correctly approximate real fastener behaviour.

description: The European Union (EU) is the main source of remittances world wide and Albania, struck by abject poverty, is Europe’s number one country sending out migrants. Albania’s economy as well as its households’ welfare strongly depend on remittances. Consequently, the topic of migration is cutting-edge for EU and Albanian policy makers. Thus, up-to-date information is decisive for taking effective policy measures. This poster paper aims at making a fruitful contribution to understanding the varied context of migration in Albania. It presents recent data on socio-economic characteristics of households with absent family members. A binary logistic regression is employed to identify determinants of participation in international migration in Northern Albania.

description: Non-Hermitian skin effect and critical skin effect are unique features of non-Hermitian systems. In this Letter, we study an open system with its dynamics of single-particle correlation function effectively dominated by a non-Hermitian damping matrix, which exhibits $\mathbb{Z}_2$ skin effect, and uncover the existence of a novel phenomenon of helical damping. When adding perturbations that break anomalous time reversal symmetry to the system, the critical skin effect occurs, which causes the disappearance of the helical damping in the thermodynamic limit although it can exist in small size systems. We also demonstrate the existence of anomalous critical skin effect when we couple two identical systems with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ skin effect. With the help of non-Bloch band theory, we unveil that the change of generalized Brillouin zone equation is the necessary condition of critical skin effect.

description: A nonholonomic system consists of a configuration space Q, a Lagrangian L, and an nonintegrable constraint distribution H, with dynamics governed by Lagrange-d'Alembert's principle. We present two studies both using adapted moving frames. In the first study we apply Cartan's method of equivalence to investigate the geometry underlying a nonholonomic system. As an example we compute the differential invariants for a nonholonomic system on a four-dimensional configuration manifold endowed with a rank two (Engel) distribution. In the second part we study G-Chaplygin systems. These are systems where the constraint distribution is given by a connection on a principal fiber bundle with total space Q and base space S=Q/G, and with a G-equivariant Lagrangian. These systems compress to an almost Hamiltonian system on $T^{*}S$. Under an $s \in S$ dependent time reparameterization a number of compressed systems become Hamiltonian. A necessary condition for Hamiltonization is the existence of an invariant measure on the original system. Assuming an invariant measure we describe the obstruction to Hamiltonization. Chaplygin's "rubber" sphere, a ball with unequal inertia coefficients rolling without slipping or spinning (about the vertical axis) on a plane is Hamiltonizable when compressed to $T^{*}SO(3)$. Finally we discuss reduction of internal symmetries. Chaplygin's "marble" (where spinning is allowed) is not Hamiltonizable when compressed to $T^{*}SO(3)$; we conjecture that it is also not Hamiltonizable when reduced to $T^{*}S^{2}$.

Afterglow emission from pair-loaded blast waves in gamma-ray bursts

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The MeV radiation front of gamma-ray bursts creates copious e+- pairs as it propagates through an ambient medium. The created pairs enrich the leptonic component of the medium by a large factor at distances R < R_load ~ 10^{16} cm from the burst center. The following blast wave sweeps up the pair-rich medium and then emits the observed afterglow radiation. We find that the afterglow has a "memory" of e+- loading outside R_load. The e+- pairs remain in the swept-up material and slowly cool down by emitting synchrotron radiation. They are likely to dominate the blast-wave emission in IR, optical, and UV bands during the first minutes of the observed afterglow. The expected e+- radiation is described by a simple formula, which is derived analytically and checked by numerical integration of synchrotron emission over the blast material; a suitable Lagrangian formalism is developed for such calculations. The main signature of e+- radiation is its flat ("white") spectrum in a broad range of frequencies from IR to UV and possibly soft X-rays. This radiation can be detected by Swift satellite, which would enable new observational tests for the explosion physics.

description: A major issue for the implementation of large scale superconducting quantum circuits is the interaction with interfacial two-level system defects (TLS) that leads to qubit relaxation and impedes qubit operation in certain frequency ranges that also drift in time. Another major challenge comes from non-equilibrium quasiparticles (QPs) that result in qubit dephasing and relaxation. In this work we show that such QPs can also serve as a source of TLS. Using spectral and temporal mapping of TLS-induced fluctuations in frequency tunable resonators, we identify a subset of the general TLS population that are highly coherent TLS with a low reconfiguration temperature $\sim$ 300 mK, and a non-uniform density of states. These properties can be understood if these TLS are formed by QPs trapped in shallow subgap states formed by spatial fluctutations of the superconducting order parameter $Δ$. Magnetic field measurements of one such TLS reveals a link to superconductivity. Our results imply that trapped QPs can induce qubit relaxation.

On the perspectives of testing the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati gravity model with the outer planets of the Solar System

description: The multidimensional braneworld gravity model by Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati was primarily put forth to explain the observed acceleration of the expansion of the Universe without resorting to dark energy. One of the most intriguing features of such a model is that it also predicts small effects on the orbital motion of test particles which could be tested in such a way that local measurements at Solar System scales would allow to get information on the global properties of the Universe. Lue and Starkman derived a secular extra-perihelion ωprecession of 5\times 10^-4 arcseconds per century, while Iorio showed that the mean longitude λis affected by a secular precession of about 10^-3 arcseconds per century. Such effects depend only on the eccentricities e of the orbits via second-order terms: they are, instead, independent of their semimajor axes a. Up to now, the observational efforts focused on the dynamics of the inner planets of the Solar System whose orbits are the best known via radar ranging. Since the competing Newtonian and Einsteinian effects like the precessions due to the solar quadrupole mass moment J2, the gravitoelectric and gravitomagnetic part of the equations of motion reduce with increasing distances, it would be possible to argue that an analysis of the orbital dynamics of the outer planets of the Solar System, with particular emphasis on Saturn because of the ongoing Cassini mission with its precision ranging instrumentation, could be helpful in evidencing the predicted new features of motion. In this note we investigate this possibility in view of the latest results in the planetary ephemeris field. Unfortunately, the current level of accuracy rules out this appealing possibility and it appears unlikely that Cassini and GAIA will ameliorate the situation.

description: Squeezed states of light reduce the signal-normalized photon counting noise of measurements without increasing the light power and enable fundamental research on quantum entanglement in hybrid systems of light and matter. Furthermore, the completion of squeezed states with cryo-cooling has high potential. First, measurement sensitivities are usually limited by quantum noise and thermal noise. Second, squeezed states allow for reducing the heat load on cooled devices without losing measurement precision. Here, we demonstrate squeezed-light position sensing of a cryo-cooled micro-mechanical membrane. The sensing precision is improved by up to 4.8 dB below photon counting noise, limited by optical loss in two Faraday rotators, at a membrane temperature of about 20K, limited by our cryo-cooler. We prove that realising a high interference contrast in a cryogenic Michelson interferometer is feasible. Our setup is the first conceptual demonstration towards the envisioned European gravitational-wave detector, the 'Einstein Telescope', which is planned to use squeezed states of light together with cryo-cooling of its mirror test masses.

description: The generating function for the cumulants of charge current distribution is calculated for two generalised Majorana resonant level models: the Kondo dot at the Toulouse point and the resonant level embedded in a Luttinger liquid with the interaction parameter $g=1/2$. We find that the low--temperature non-equilibrium transport in the Kondo case occurs via tunnelling of physical electrons as well as by coherent transmission of electron pairs. We calculate the third cumulant (`skewness') explicitly and analyse it for different couplings, temperatures, and magnetic fields. For the $g=1/2$ set-up the statistics simplifies and is given by a modified version of the Levitov--Lesovik formula.

description: We derive the effective Lagrangian of the physical four-dimensional fields in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, and use this to calculate the Newtonian gravitational potential between two point sources on the brane. The effect of the radion is emphasized, and it is shown to disappear when the hidden brane is taken to infinity, i.e. when we only have one brane. As a preliminary, we derive the corresponding Lagrangian in the simpler geometry of a flat spacetime with one extra dimension compactified on a torus. We also study the gauge invariance of the theory, and note that the massless vector field that is present for the torus disappears in the RS model because of the orbifold symmetry.

description: Energetic H$_2^+$ ions are formed as a result of intra-molecular rearrangement during fragmentation of linear alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, hexanol, and dodecanol) induced by intense optical fields produced by 100 fs long, infrared, laser pulses of peak intensity 8$\times10^{15}$ W cm$^{-2}$. Polarization dependent measurements show, counterintuitively, that rearrangement is induced by the strong optical field within a single laser pulse, and that it occurs before Coulomb explosion of the field-ionized multiply charged alcohols.
