Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: This is the third in a series of four technical publications on the study of consumer demand for food in Canada. Demand parameters for 122 food items were estimated, using data from the 1974 Urban Family Food Expenditure Survey. These parameters provide a basis for computing expenditure, income, quality, family size and price elasticities. The price elasticities were computed by using implicit prices derived from the expenditure and quantity data. The effects of partitioning the sample by income class, city and first and second halves of the year were also investigated. The analysis has produced a set of parameter estimates that are of generally high statistical quality, that agree with a priori reasoning, and that support results obtained from related empirical studies. In addition, the price elasticities obtained are novel to applied cross-section studies and are estimated at levels which can be rationalized with the prevailing time-series results.

description: Some aspects of the relationship between conservativeness of a dynamical system (namely the preservation of a finite measure) and the existence of a Poisson structure for that system are analyzed. From the local point of view, due to the Flow-Box Theorem we restrict ourselves to neighborhoods of singularities. In this sense, we characterize Poisson structures around the typical zero-Hopf singularity in dimension 3 under the assumption of having a local analytic first integral with non-vanishing first jet by connecting with the classical Poincaré center problem. From the global point of view, we connect the property of being strictly conservative (the invariant measure must be positive) with the existence of a Poisson structure depending on the phase space dimension. Finally, weak conservativeness in dimension two is introduced by the extension of inverse Jacobi multipliers as weak solutions of its defining partial differential equation and some of its applications are developed. Examples including Lotka-Volterra systems, quadratic isochronous centers, and non-smooth oscillators are provided.

 Diagnosis. Carapace about as long as wide, dorsal surface, lateral margins with numerous spines: stout, sharptipped, conical in adult, short, blunt in juvenile with carapace width of 30 mm or less. Rostrum with simple median spine, two basal spines. Chelipeds unequal, slender, with prominent spines on carpus. Pereopods 2–4 elongate, cylindrical, thickly set with spines. Female abdomen twisted to right. Carapace length 80 mm.
 Color in life. Body red to pale pink, spines dark red. The color notes are from a crab taken in a trap off southern California.
 Habitat and depth. Muddy continental slope, 1100–1577 m. The crab has been found near cold seeps off Japan.
 Range. Sagami Bay, Japan; Shumagin Bank, Alaska to off Guadalupe I., Baja California; off Carmen I., Gulf of California. Type locality off Queen Charlotte Is.
 Remarks. This large crab has been fished commercially by trapping. The caprellid amphipod Caprella ungulina Mayer, 1903; clings to the legs of this crab (Wicksten 1982). Hall & Thatje (2010) demonstrated ontogenetic changes in the morphology of crabs of the genus Paralomis, including this species. Juveniles have much shorter dorsal carapace spines than do adults.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: Static and demand systems were reviewed and estimated using annual Canadian data for the period 1947-72. The review focuses on the relationship among the static and dynamic demand systems, persistence in consumption behavior and more general aspects of intertemporal consumption patterns. The empirical results provide additional insights into Canadian consumer expenditure bahavior itself, an applied context for evalutaing the different demand systems, and a comparison of static and dynamic forms of demand systems. The structural estimates obtained are generally consistent with a priori expections. Thus, they reinforce the confidence that can be placed in estimates of demand elasticities and their use in policy analysis. Alternative levels of aggregation, comparisons with other demand systems reaults for Canada and the United States, estimates from models with more flexible error assumptions and predictive performance are used in evaluating the results.

The Delicate Dance of Orbital Rendezvous

Subjects: subject: Popular Physics (physics.pop-ph)

description: The meeting of two spacecraft in orbit around a planet or moon involves a delicate dance that must carefully the balance the gravitational, Coriolis, and centrifugal forces acting on the spacecraft. The intricacy of the relative motion between the two spacecraft caused problems for the Gemini missions in the mid-1960s. Although now mastered, the problem of how to bring two orbiting objects together continues to be misrepresented in popular movies and books. In this article, I will consider the case when the two spacecraft are in close proximity (compared with the radii of their orbits), and examine the counter-intuitive trajectories that are needed to bring them together. I will examine how a stranded astronaut might use an impulsive force to return to her ship in Earth orbit, how and when line-of-sight targeting may be used for a rendezvous, and how the Apollo 11 lunar module executed a Terminal Phase Initiation maneuver to rendezvous with the command/service module as they both circled the Moon.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: The modern theory of consumer behavior provides a number of a priori restrictions that are useful in the estimation of systems of demand equations. Of particular importance for applied work is the fact that the restrictions from the theory can be employed to obtain estimates of cross price elasticities and flexibilities that would not be available in their absence. These estimates are important to agricultural policy problems which increasingly recognize interactions and secondary effects of existing and proposed programs. This study is concerned with an application of the theory in estimating a system of demand equations for twenty-seven food commodity groups and a nonfood group. After a review of the basis for the prior information supplied by the theory, it is applied to times series and cross section data on the Canadian economy. Resulting estimates are compared to others for Canada and the U.S. In addition, a framework is presented for utilizing the estimated demand parameters in forecasting and policy analysis.

description: Within the standard big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and cosmic microwave background (CMB) framework, the baryon density measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) or the primordial D abundance is much higher than the one measured by the $^4$He or $^7$Li abundances. To solve the discrepancy, we propose a scenario in which additional baryons appear after BBN. We show that simply adding the baryons can not be a solution but the existence of a large lepton asymmetry before BBN makes the scenario successful. These extra baryons and leptons, in addition to the initial baryons which exist before the BBN, can be all produced from $Q$-balls.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: Data from the 1972 Urban Family Expenditure Survey were employed to estimate consumption functions and Engel relationships. The Engel curve is used to show how expenditure on, or consumptin of, a particular commodity varies with the level of family income. In the first case, total current consumption was related to current income and family size. For the Engel curves, family expenditures on 14 commodity groups were related to current income (or total current consumption) and family size. Major objectives of the study were to provide estimates of consumption functions and Engel relationshps based on the most recent survey data, and to examine hypotheses of possible structural changes related to six socio-economic characteristics of the surveyed families. Specifically, the consumption and Engel relationships were examined statistically for possible structural changes across sample partitions. The results indicate that consumpiton functions and Engel curves are sensitive to the socio-economic characteristics of the family. Therefore this observation should be kept in mind when using these results for policy decisions.

description: In this paper, a new physical notion, intensity, is introduced. The notion of intensity occurs in a special statistics, known as Gentile statistics, which is asymptotically close to ordinary thermodynamics. The introduction of the new notion of intensity in the theory of nuclear matter essentially changes the thermodynamical picture. Moreover, we can say that the thermodynamics of nuclear matter is the antipode of standard thermodynamics. On the basis of the "intensity--compressibility factor" diagram and mean square fluctuations of energy and time, a new table of properties of stable chemical elements is obtained and presented in this paper.

description: We present BAX, Base de Donnees Amas de Galaxies X (http://webast.ast.obs-mip.fr/bax), a multi-wavelength database dedicated to X-ray clusters and groups of galaxies allowing detailed information retrieval. BAX is designed to support astronomical research by providing access to published measurements of the main physical quantities and to the related bibliographic references: basic data stored in the database are cluster/group identifiers, equatorial coordinates, redshift, flux, X-ray luminosity (in the ROSAT band) and temperature, and links to additional linked parameters (in X-rays, such as spatial profile parameters, as well as SZ parameters of the hot gas, lensing measurements,and data at other wavelengths, such as optical and radio). The clusters and groups in BAX can be queried by the basic parameters as well as the linked parameters or combinations of these. We expect BAX to become an important tool for the astronomical community. BAX will optimize various aspects of the scientific analysis of X-ray clusters and groups of galaxies, from proposal planning to data collection, interpretation and publication, from both ground based facilities like MEGACAM (CFHT), VIRMOS (VLT) and space missions like XMM-Newton, Chandra and Planck.

description: We present the first VLBI maps of H2O maser emission (lambda 1.3cm) in the nucleus of the Circinus Galaxy, constructed from data obtained with the Australia Telescope Long Baseline Array. The maser emission traces a warped, edge-on accretion disk between radii of 0.11+/-0.02 and ~0.40 pc, as well as a wide-angle outflow that extends up to ~1 pc from the estimated disk center. The disk rotation is close to Keplerian (v varies as 1/sqrt(r)), the maximum detected rotation speed is 260 km/s, and the inferred central mass is 1.7+/-0.3 x 10^6 solar masses. The outflowing masers are irregularly distributed above and below the disk, with relative outflow velocities up to ~+/-160 km/s, projected along the line of sight. The flow probably originates closer than 0.1 pc to the central engine, possibly in an inward extension of the accretion disk, though there is only weak evidence of rotation in the outward moving material. We observe that the warp of the disk appears to collimate the outflow and to fix the extent of the ionization cone observed on larger angular scales. This study provides the first direct evidence (i.e., through imaging) of dusty, high-density, molecular material in a nuclear outflow <1 pc from the central engine of a Seyfert galaxy, as well as the first graphic evidence that warped accretion disks can channel outflows and illumination patterns in AGN. We speculate that the same arrangement, which in some ways obviates the need for a geometrically thick, dusty torus, may apply to other type-2 AGN.

description: Many countries around the World have applied, or are studying to apply, sugar-sweetened beverage taxes as a way to mitigate increasing obesity. The objective of our study is to illustrate about the relevance of controlling for quality choices within product categories when analyzing the impact of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax. We calculate own-price quantity and quality elasticities using the methodology developed by Deaton (1988). For comparison purposes, we also calculate own price elasticities with a standard unit price methodology, which means using unit values as a proxy for prices. With both set of elasticities, we simulate a scenario of 20% tax. Using Deaton’s methodology, we find a decrease in quantity (-12.4%) and quality demanded (-0.3%). Using unit values methodology, we find a larger expected decrease in quantity demanded (-22.9%). Therefore, we show empirical evidence that both quantity and quality need to be taken into account to understand the implications of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax.

description: This paper investigates the effects of exchange rate volatility on the rice export flows of Thailand to its major trading partners namely South Africa, China, United States of America, Indonesia, Singapore and Japan for the period 2001:1−2012:12. We use a six-month moving sample standard deviation of the growth of the real exchange rate which is then tested in a model of Thai milled rice exports. Cointegration and error-correction models are used to obtain the estimates of the cointegrating relations and the short-run dynamics, respectively. The results obtained in this paper, on the whole, provide evidence that the real exchange rate volatility has a significant negative effect on the volume of Thai rice exports.
Charge- and parity-projected Hartree-Fock method for the strong tensor correlation and its application to the alpha particle

description: We propose a new mean-field-type framework which can treat the strong correlation induced by the tensor force. To treat the tensor correlation we break the charge and parity symmetries of a single-particle state and restore these symmetries of the total system by the projection method. We perform the charge and parity projections before variation and obtain a Hartree-Fock-like equation, which is solved self-consistently. We apply the Hartree-Fock-like equation to the alpha particle and find that by breaking the parity and charge symmetries, the correlation induced by the tensor force is obtained in the projected mean-field framework. We emphasize that the projection before the variation is important to pick up the tensor correlation in the present framework.

description: We experimentally realize a nonlinear quantum protocol on single-photon qubits with linear optical elements and appropriate measurements. The quantum nonlinearity is induced by post-selecting the polarization qubit based on a measurement result obtained on the spatial degree of freedom of the single photon which plays the role of a second qubit. Initially, both qubits are prepared in the same quantum state and an appropriate two-qubit unitary transformation entangles them before the measurement on the spatial part. We analyze the result by quantum state tomography on the polarization degree of freedom. We then demonstrate the usefulness of the protocol for quantum state discrimination by iteratively applying it on either one of two slightly different quantum states which rapidly converge to different orthogonal states by the iterative dynamics. Our work opens the door to employ effective quantum nonlinear evolution for quantum information processing.

description: We study the spectrum and the transport properties of two identical, vertically coupled quantum dots in a perpendicular magnetic field. We find correlation-induced energy crossings in a magnetic field sweep between states differing only in the vertical degree of freedom. Considering the influence of a slight asymmetry between the dots caused by the applied source-drain voltage in vertical transport experiments these crossings convert to anticrossings accompanied by the build-up of charge polarization which is tunable by the perpendicular magnetic field. The polarization strongly affects the vertical transport through the double quantum dot and is manifest in an isospin blockade and the appearance of negative differential conductances in the magnetic field range where the charge localization occurs.

description: Unlike many other vintage goods, distilleries often opt to mature their stocks to different ages, selling a heterogeneous line of products which vary in quality. We develop a theoretical model to examine the maturation decisions of a whisky distillery and find that it is possible for a profit-maximizing distillery to produce multiple ages of whisky under perfect competition. Based on an analysis of retail whisky prices, we find evidence suggesting that most distilleries that produce multiple ages of whisky do not operate under perfect competition. However, a hedonic estimation of whisky prices does not find any strong link between a distillery’s size and its ability to influence market prices, suggesting that distilleries may achieve market power through brand recognition.

description: (Abridged) We present a new high-resolution (7 km/s FWHM) echelle spectrum of 3C 351 obtained with STIS. 3C 351 lies behind the low-latitude edge of high-velocity cloud Complex C, and the new spectrum provides accurate measurements of O I, Si II, Al II, Fe II, and Si III absorption lines at the velocity of the HVC. We use collisional and photoionization models to derive ionization corrections; in both models we find that the overall metallicity Z = 0.1 - 0.3 Z_{solar} in Complex C, but nitrogen must be underabundant. The iron abundance indicates that Complex C contains very little dust. The absorbing gas probably is not gravitationally confined. The gas could be pressure-confined by an external medium, but alternatively we may be viewing the leading edge of the HVC, which is ablating and dissipating as it plunges into the Milky Way. O VI column densities observed with FUSE toward nine QSOs/AGNs behind Complex C support this conclusion: N(O VI) is highest near 3C 351, and the O VI/H I ratio increases substantially with decreasing latitude, suggesting that the lower-latitude portion of the cloud is interacting more vigorously with the Galaxy. The other sight lines through Complex C show some dispersion in metallicity, but with the current uncertainties, the measurements are consistent with a constant metallicity throughout the HVC. However, all of the Complex C sight lines require significant nitrogen underabundances. Finally, we compare the 3C 351 sight line to the sight line to the nearby QSO H1821+643 to search for evidence of outflowing Galactic fountain gas that could be mixing with Complex C. We find that the intermediate-velocity gas detected toward 3C 351 and H1821+643 has a higher metallicity and may well be a fountain/chimney outflow from the Perseus spiral arm.

description: In this work, we propose a novel framework for the labeling of entity alignments in knowledge graph datasets. Different strategies to select informative instances for the human labeler build the core of our framework. We illustrate how the labeling of entity alignments is different from assigning class labels to single instances and how these differences affect the labeling efficiency. Based on these considerations we propose and evaluate different active and passive learning strategies. One of our main findings is that passive learning approaches, which can be efficiently precomputed and deployed more easily, achieve performance comparable to the active learning strategies.

description: Plants are often merchandised with minimal packaging, thus, consumers have only the plant itself (intrinsic cue) or information signs (extrinsic cues) on which to assess product and on which to base their purchase decision. Our objective was to explore consumers’ preference for select plant display attributes and compare how consumers visually looked at the attributes. Using conjoint analysis we identified three distinct consumer segments: plant oriented (73%), production method oriented (11%), and price oriented (16%) consumers. Utilizing eye tracking technology we show that subjects spent more visual attention on cues in the retail displays that were relatively more important to them. For instance, plant oriented consumers were the fastest to fixate on the plants and looked at the plants for longer amounts of time compared to the other segments. Production method oriented consumers looked at the production labeling for a longer duration, while the price oriented consumer looked at the price sign the longest. Findings suggest that retailers should carefully consider the type of information included on signs and the relative importance those terms may have to a variety of consumers.

Our discussion sheds new light on [hep-th/0304128] and supports the conjecture that the central charge $a$ decreases under RG flows and is non-negative in unitary four dimensional conformal field theories.

description: We show the possible stable soliton generation for the dark-state polaritons (DSPs) in an electromagnetic induced transparency (EIT) medium composed of $Λ$-type atoms. Whether the solitons are dark or bright can be controlled by the coupling field intensity and the one photon detuning of the probe field. Besides, the velocity and time width of the solitons also can be adjusted by the coupling light.

description: In this paper we assess the performance of farmers adopting an improved sorghum technology package in the Maradi region of Niger. A propensity score matching method is used to address self-selection bias into the program. First, we estimate a propensity model to participate in the extension program, examine factors affecting the participation, and assess the average adoption effect on participants by testing for productivity difference between adopters and non-adopters. Secondly, we estimate a stochastic production technology frontier to compare technical efficiency of farmers in the extension program. We test for returns to scale, examine factors affecting technical efficiency of participants, and compare technical efficiency scores of participants based on their compliance to program recommendations. Participants in the extension program are older, have less farming experience, and operate on larger farm sizes. After controlling for bias, there is very little change in the yield differences, which in both cases are substantial. There is some evidence for greater productivity of the smaller size producers.Technical efficiency of participants is increasing overtime, younger participants are technically more efficient and farming experience increases significantly participants’ technical efficiency. Good followers of the fertilization technique recommendation are much more technically efficient.

description: The long-term dynamics of perturbed Keplerian motion is usually analyzed in simplified models as part of the preliminary design of artificial satellites missions. It is commonly approached by averaging procedures that deal with literal expressions in expanded form. However, there are cases in which the correct description of the dynamics may require full, contrary to simplified, potential models, as is, for instance, the case of low-altitude, high-inclination lunar orbits. In these cases, dealing with literal expressions is yet possible with the help of modern symbolic algebra systems, for which memory handling is no longer an issue. Still, the efficient evaluation of the averaged expressions related to a high fidelity potential is often jeopardized for the expanded character of the output of the automatic algebraic process, which unavoidably provides huge expressions that commonly comprise tens of thousands of literal terms. Rearrangement of the output to generate an efficient numerical code may solve the problem, but automatization of this kind of post-processing is a non trivial task due to the ad-hoc heuristic simplification procedures involved in the optimization process. However, in those cases in which the coupling of different perturbations is not of relevance for the analysis, the averaging procedure may preserve the main features of the structure of the potential model, thus avoiding the need of the typical blind computer-based brut force perturbation approach. Indeed, we show how standard recursions in the literature may be used to efficiently replace the brut force approach, in this way avoiding the need of further simplification to improve performance evaluation. In particular, Kaula's seminal recursion formulas for the gravity potential reveal clearly superior to the use of both expanded expressions and other recursions more recently proposed in the literature.

description: XMM Newton observations of five high-luminosity radio-quiet QSOs (Q 0144-3938, UM 269, PG 1634+706, SBS 0909+532 and PG 1247+267) are presented. Spectral energy distributions were calculated from the XMM-Newton EPIC (European Photon Imaging Camera) and OM (Optical Monitor) data, with bolometric luminosities estimated in the range from 7 x 10^45 to 2 x 10^48 erg s^-1 for the sample, peaking in the UV. At least four of the QSOs show a similar soft excess, which can be well modelled by either one or two blackbody components, in addition to the hard X-ray power-law. The temperatures of these blackbodies (~100-500 eV) are too high to be direct thermal emission from the accretion disc, so Comptonization is suggested. Two populations of Comptonizing electrons, with different temperatures, are needed to model the broad-band spectrum. The hotter of these produces what is seen as the hard X-ray power-law, while the cooler (~0.25-0.5 keV) population models the spectral curvature at low energies. Only one of the QSOs shows evidence for an absorption component, while three of the five show neutral iron emission. Of these, PG 1247+267 seems to have a broad line (EW ~ 250 eV), with a strong, associated reflection component (R ~ 2), measured out to 30 keV in the rest frame of the QSO. Finally, it is concluded that the X-ray continuum shape of AGN remains essentially constant over a wide range of black hole mass and luminosity.
