description: This article attempts to assess the importance of agri-food sector in the national economy in Poland at the national and regional level concerning its production potential (labour, capital and investments), as well as its production output (gross output, gross value added). The survey covered agriculture and food industry in Poland. The analysis was based on the data from the statistical publications of the Central Statistical Office of Poland. The results indicate the spatial differentiation of internal structure agri-food sector and its participation in the regional economy. It is concluded that this sector is one of the most important segments of the Polish economy.

Effects of Pilates exercises on shoulder range of motion, pain, mood and upper extremity function in women living with breast cancer : a pilot study
Creators: name: Keays, Kimberley Susan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Background and Purpose: Our purpose was to examine the effects of Pilates exercises on shoulder range of motion (ROM), pain, mood, and upper extremity (UE) function in women who had been treated for breast cancer. Participants: Participants were four women who had undergone axillary dissection and radiation therapy for Stage I-III breast cancer. Methods: A non-concurrent, multiple baseline, single subject research design was used to examine the effects of Pilates exercises on the four outcomes. Results: Visual analyses of the data suggest a moderate functional relationship between the implementation of the Pilates program and improved shoulder abduction and external rotation ROM. Statistically significant improvement in shoulder internal and external rotation on the affected UE was shown for the participant with metastatic disease. The improving baselines seen for pain, mood and UE function data make it impossible to assess Pilates’ effects. No adverse events were experienced. Discussion and Conclusion: Pilates may be an effective, enjoyable and safe exercise option for women recovering from breast cancer treatments; however further research is needed.

description: The current stage of agricultural modernization focuses on limiting the further industrialization of agricultural households by embedding them in social networks which favour balanced development. Such adjustment is connected with the development of knowledge based economy and the necessity of growth, in the realisation of which, according to the “constant reconstruction” scenario of Europe 2020 strategy, this sector of economy has to participate once again. The aim of this case study is the identification of social networks which serve the diffusion of knowledge and information in the Opole voivodeship agriculture and evaluation of their significance in decision making processes by the managers of agricultural households. The case study focuses also on the problem of institutional innovations needs which serve joining the research institutes and universities to these networks. Intelligent specialization of agricultural households based on knowledge is found to be the main feature of the current stage of agricultural modernization.

description: A study was conducted to evaluate the influence of agricultural lime (CaCOî) on the movement and uptake of inorganic nitrogen for a sweet pepper crop (Capsicum annuum) grown on an Oxisol soil (Coto clay) in northwest Puerto Rico. The Coto clay soil, which contains the 1:1 kaolinite mineral, has a low pH (4 to 4.5). The 1:1 type clays are known to possess a net positive charge at low pH, resulting in the adsorption of negatively charged ions such as nitrate. From an environmental standpoint this characteristic of the 1:1 clay is favorable, since nitrate leaching, a major cause of groundwater pollution in many areas, is reduced relative to soils with net negative charge. However, agricultural plants, such as sweet peppers, favor a higher soil pH (approximately 6.5), which can be obtained by the application of agricultural lime. This application, however, may have the negative effect of increasing the potential for nitrate leaching, as the net charge in the soil particles becomes positive with increasing pH. This paper describes the results of a nitrogen leaching analysis for two sweet pepper crop seasons. The analysis was based on multiplying the daily percolation flux through the soil profile by the measured concentration of nitrogen below the root zone. Irrigations were scheduled using the pan evaporation method for estimating crop water requirements. No significant difference in nitrogen leaching was observed for the lime and no-lime treatments. This finding was attributed to the low nitrate retention capacity of this soil, even a low pH. The average percentages of nitrogen leached during the 1st and 2nd season, relative to the amounts applied, were 26% and 15%), respectively. Leaching events were associated with large rainstorms, suggesting that leaching of Ν would have occurred regardless of the irrigation scheduling method used.

We show how our data are explained in terms of current-dependent effective magnetic temperature.

Subjects: subject: Architektonischer Entwurf
subject: architectural design

description: Durch die Verwendung des Holzes in seiner natülichen Form als stabförmiges Element entfaltet sich im Holzskelettbau eine ihm eigentümliche organische Struktur. Eine räumliche Gestalt deren Ursprung in der Manipulation der Linie zu finden ist. Der Keim der konstruktiven Form wird im Detail der Verbindungsund Fügeart gebildet und gelangt über die Begrenzungsflächen seines Materials zum Ausdruck. Das Positiv eines materialisierten Knotens erzeugt einen Eindruck im Negativ des Raumes respektive in der Wahrnehmung des Rezipienten. Reines Wahrnehmen ist allerdings nicht gleichbedeutend mit dem Erkennen. Der kognitive Aspekt des konstruktiven Verständnisses für eine Bauweise ist nicht unbedeutend für den ästhetischen Wert der Konstruktion. Die Lesbarkeit der räumlich-konstruktiven Zusammenhänge innerhalb eines Bauwerkes bildet die Basis um Architektur Ausdruck zu verleihen. Die Form der Bauteile und die Art ihrer Knotenbildung ist an sich variabel doch in ihrer Methode einer Hierarchie unterworfen, die der Ordnung der Schichten dient und die Wertigkeit der Verbindungen enthält. Der Begriff der Wertigkeit einer Verbindung kann sowohl den Grad der statischen Wirksamkeit als auch ihren Stellenwert der Raumbildung beschreiben. Das Nötige bildet die Basis für das Mögliche. Aus der Erweiterung der konstruktiven Substanz entsteht eine Form 2. Grades, eine weitere Ebene der formalen Erscheinung die den Geist der Konstruktion auszudrücken vermag. Hierbei kann es sich um ein tektonisches Ornament oder einen anderen räumlichen Quotienten der Ordnung handeln in dem die DNA der Konstruktionsweise enthalten ist. Der übergeordnete Begriff des konstruktiven Ausdrucks bildet den thematischen Rahmen, in dem sich theoretischer und praktischer Forschungsteil bewegen. Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit grundlegenden Fragen des Stoffes Holz und seiner Rolle als konstruktives Element in der Architektur. Anhand einer Abfolge einzelner Themenbereiche soll sich dem strukturellen Wesen des Stoffes und der architektonischen Gestalt des Skeletts angenähert werden. Fragen zu Materialwahrheit und Authentizität der Konstruktionsform, vor dem Hintergrund materialtechnologischer Entwicklungen, kennzeichnen die aktuelle Debatte um den Stellenwert des Materials in der Architekturproduktion. Die Darstellung vergangener und aktueller Positionen, einer Reihe verschiedener Protagonisten, spannt den Diskurs innerhalb des gegenwärtigen Holzbaus weiter auf.

Galactic Metallicity Gradients Derived from a Sample of OB Stars
Creators: name: Daflon, Simone

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The distribution of stellar abundances along the Galactic disk is an important constraint for models of chemical evolution and Galaxy formation. In this study we derive radial gradients of C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, as well as S, from abundance determinations in young OB stars. Our database is composed of a sample of 69 members of 25 open clusters, OB associations and H II regions with Galactocentric distances between 4.7 and 13.2 kpc. An important feature of this abundance database is the fact that the abundances were derived self-consistently in non-LTE using a homogeneous set of stellar parameters. Such an uniform analysis is expected to reduce the magnitude of random errors, as well as the influence of systematics in the gradients defined by the abundance and Galactocentric distance. The metallicity gradients obtained in this study are, in general, flatter than the results from previous recent abundance studies of early-type stars. The slopes are found to be between -0.031 (for oxygen) and $-0.052 dex kpc^{-1}$ (for magnesium). The gradients obtained for the studied elements are quite similar and if averaged, they can be represented by a single slope of $-0.042 \pm 0.007 dex kpc^{-1}$. This value is generally consistent with an overall flattening of the radial gradients with time.

description: With the maturity and popularity of dialogue systems, detecting user's unknown intent in dialogue systems has become an important task. It is also one of the most challenging tasks since we can hardly get examples, prior knowledge or the exact numbers of unknown intents. In this paper, we propose SofterMax and deep novelty detection (SMDN), a simple yet effective post-processing method for detecting unknown intent in dialogue systems based on pre-trained deep neural network classifiers. Our method can be flexibly applied on top of any classifiers trained in deep neural networks without changing the model architecture. We calibrate the confidence of the softmax outputs to compute the calibrated confidence score (i.e., SofterMax) and use it to calculate the decision boundary for unknown intent detection. Furthermore, we feed the feature representations learned by the deep neural networks into traditional novelty detection algorithm to detect unknown intents from different perspectives. Finally, we combine the methods above to perform the joint prediction. Our method classifies examples that differ from known intents as unknown and does not require any examples or prior knowledge of it. We have conducted extensive experiments on three benchmark dialogue datasets. The results show that our method can yield significant improvements compared with the state-of-the-art baselines

Theory of exciton transport in molecular crystals strongly coupled to a cavity: A temperature-dependent variational approach

description: We present a semianalytical theory for exciton transport in organic molecular crystals interacting strongly with a single cavity mode. Based on the Holstein-Tavis-Cummings model and the Kubo formula, we derive an exciton mobility expression in the framework of a temperature-dependent variational canonical transformation, which can cover a wide range of exciton-vibration coupling, exciton-cavity coupling, and temperatures. A closed-form expression for the coherent part of the total mobility is obtained in the zeroth order of the exciton-vibration coupling, which demonstrates the significance of vibrationally dressed dark excitons in the determination of the transport mechanism. By performing numerical simulations on both the H- and J-aggregates, we find that the exciton-cavity coupling has significant effects on the total mobility: 1) At low temperatures, there exists an optimal exciton-cavity coupling strength for the H-aggregate at which a maximal mobility is reached, while the mobility in the J-aggregate decreases monotonically with increasing exciton-cavity coupling; 2) At high temperatures, the mobility in both types of aggregates get enhanced by the cavity. We illustrate the above-mentioned low-temperature optimal mobility observed in the H-aggregate by using realistic parameters at room temperature.

description: We present the first calculation of the $x$-dependence of the proton generalized parton distributions (GPDs) within lattice QCD. Results are obtained for the isovector unpolarized and helicity GPDs. We compute the appropriate matrix elements of fast-moving protons coupled to non-local operators containing a Wilson line. We present results for proton momenta $0.83,\,1.25,\,1.67$ GeV, and momentum transfer squared $0.69,\,1.38$ GeV$^2$. These combinations include cases with zero and nonzero skewness. The calculation is performed using one ensemble of two degenerate mass light, a strange and a charm quark of maximally twisted mass fermions with a clover term. The lattice results are matched to the light-cone GPDs using one-loop perturbation theory within the framework of large momentum effective theory. The final GPDs are given in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme at a scale of 2 GeV.

On the b-antighost in the Pure Spinor Quantization of Superstrings

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Recently Berkovits has constructed a picture raised, compound field $b_B$ which is used to compute higher loop amplitudes in the pure spinor approach of superstrings. On the other hand, in the twisted and gauge fixed, superembedding approach with $n=2$ world-sheet (w.s.) supersymmetry that reproduces the pure spinor formulation, a field $b$ appears quite naturally as the current of one of the two twisted charges of the w.s. supersymmetry, the other being the BRST charge. In this paper we study the relation between $b$ and $b_B$. We shall show that $bZ$, where $Z$ is a picture raising operator, and $b_B$ belong to the same BRST cohomological class. This result is of importance since it implies that the cumbersome singularity which is present in $b$, is in fact harmless if $b$ is combined with $Z$.

description: A growing demand for emission standards to meet the essential ecological criteria create a difficult situation for car manufacturers, with which they must cope in the coming years. However, the above-mentioned situation can be looked at from another perspective. It uncovers an incredible number of opportunities that carmakers should use and, as a result, offer their customers an alternative product to fully satisfy their needs. The aim of this thesis is to provide an insight of how the car companies currently try to benefit from this situation and whether their approach is consistent with the expectations of their potential clients.

description: We report our in-depth study of Cd-Zn-Te (CZT) crystals to determine an optimum pixel and guard band configuration for Hard X-ray imaging and spectroscopy. We tested 20x20x5mm crystals with 8x8 pixels on a 2.46mm pitch. We have studied different types of cathode / anode contacts and different pixel pad sizes. We present the measurements of leakage current as well as spectral response for each pixel. Our I-V measurement setup is custom designed to allow automated measurements of the I-V curves sequentially for all 64 pixels, whereas the radiation properties measurement setup allows for interchangeable crystals with the same XAIM3.2 ASIC readout from IDEAS. We have tested multiple crystals of each type, and each crystal in different positions to measure the variation between individual crystals and variation among the ASIC channels. We also compare the same crystals with and without a grounded guard band deposited on the crystal side walls vs. a floating guard band and compare results to simulations. This study was carried out to find the optimum CZT crystal configuration for prototype detectors for the proposed Black-Hole Finder mission, EXIST.

description: As a strategy to complete games quickly, we investigate one-dimensional random walks where the step length increases deterministically upon each return to the origin. When the step length after the kth return equals k, the displacement of the walk x grows linearly in time. Asymptotically, the probability distribution of displacements is a purely exponentially decaying function of |x|/t. The probability E(t,L) for the walk to escape a bounded domain of size L at time t decays algebraically in the long time limit, E(t,L) ~ L/t^2. Consequently, the mean escape time ~ L ln L, while ~ L^{2n-1} for n>1. Corresponding results are derived when the step length after the kth return scales as k^alpha$ for alpha>0.

description: We regard the Wheeler-De Witt equation as a Sturm-Liouville problem with the cosmological constant considered as the associated eigenvalue. The used method to study such a problem is a variational approach with Gaussian trial wave functionals. We approximate the equation to one loop in a Schwarzschild background. A zeta function regularization is involved to handle with divergences. The regularization is closely related to the subtraction procedure appearing in the computation of Casimir energy in a curved background. A renormalization procedure is introduced to remove the infinities together with a renormalization group equation.

description: Supply-restricting marketing boards shift the costs of agricultural support payments from the treasury to consumers. Canada, Australia and the European Union adopted quota regimes in dairy, but Australia and the EU subsequently dismantled their programs, while providing milk producers with compensation, but the dairy quota system remains entrenched in Canada. In this paper, dairy policies in the aforementioned jurisdictions, plus the U.S. and New Zealand are reviewed, and a stylized description of the EU reform is provided. An applied welfare economics framework based on the EU experience is then used to investigate potential mechanisms for reforming Canada’s dairy quota regime. The main issue regards producers’ compensation. The analysis shows that one has to be careful not to overcompensate producers, which could make a reform program prohibitively expensive on the treasury. The analysis provides a framework within which policy discussions regarding compensation can take place.

We investigate the thermal Hall conductivity across this transition, describing how the quantized thermal Hall conductivity of the gapped state changes to an unquantized thermal Hall conductivity in the gapless spinon Fermi surface state. We consider two cases, both of potential experimental interest: the state with non-Abelian Ising topological order on the honeycomb lattice, and the state with Abelian chiral spin liquid topological order on the triangular lattice.

description: Urban areas in Uganda are increasingly facing competition for their resources in the face of rising population. More than one out of every five Ugandans are residing in urban areas and the urban population is expected to triple in next two decades. Most of the urban population resides in GKMA—a region challenged with unemployment and inadequate opportunities. Enhancing firm performance in urban areas offers a promise for jobs and local revenue to boost city development. Local governments and city council need to create mechanisms that address firm constraints and harness the factors that drive firm competiveness, growth and transition. Potential opportunities lie in collaborating with financial institutions to provide affordable credit, improving taxation procedures, establishing of business spaces for the small firms and influencing vocational schools to impact relevant skills.

The primary purpose of this study was to compare the motor development of infants of Asian and European ethnic backgrounds, the two most highly represented ethnic groups in British Columbia. Two secondary research questions addressed the conflicting evidence surrounding the effect of sex and socioeconomic status on motor development. Null hypotheses were tested for the three research questions. Subjects: Test scores from 300 infants of European background and 35 infants of Asian background formed the data set for analysis. Infants aged 2.5 to 12.5 months were developing typically. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, this study evaluated similarities and differences in motor development to answer the research questions. The Harris Infant Neuromotor Test (HINT) was used to assess infant neuromotor development. Three sets of data were used: 1) retrospective data from infants who had participated in the completed HINT normative study; 2) data from infants who are participating in an ongoing study entitled Training & Outcomes for Early Identification of Infants with Neuromotor Delays; and 3) data from additional infants of Asian background who were recruited to increase the size of that group. Results: Factorial ANOVA of the primary hypothesis indicated that there were no differences in motor development between infants from these two ethnic backgrounds. Analysis of the secondary hypotheses indicated no difference in infant motor development based on sex or maternal education; the latter served as an indicator of socioeconomic background. Discussion: Although specific limitations must be considered, the results of this study clearly indicate no difference in the motor development of Canadian infants of Asian and European ethnic backgrounds. Conclusion: Clinicians can be confident with the use of the HINT when used to screen infants of Asian and European backgrounds for developmental delay. HINT results for other ethnic groups should be interpreted with caution until further information is available.

description: While the expansion rate of a homogeneous isotropic Universe is simply proportional to the square-root of the energy density, the expansion rate of an inhomogeneous Universe also depends on the nature of the density inhomogeneities. In this paper we calculate to second order in perturbation variables the expansion rate of an inhomogeneous Universe and demonstrate corrections to the evolution of the expansion rate. While we find that the mean correction is small, the variance of the correction on the scale of the Hubble radius is sensitive to the physical significance of the unknown spectrum of density perturbations beyond the Hubble radius.

Lattice Supersymmetry via Twisting

description: We describe how the usual supercharges of extended supersymmetry may be {\it twisted} to produce a BRST-like supercharge $Q$. The usual supersymmetry algebra is then replaced by a twisted algebra and the action of the twisted theory is shown to be generically $Q$-exact. In flat space the twisting procedure can be regarded as a change of variables carrying no physical significance. However, the twisted theories can often be transferred to the lattice while preserving the twisted supersymmetry. As an example we construct a lattice version of the two-dimensional supersymmetric sigma model.

description: Coupled Matrix Tensor Factorization (CMTF) facilitates the integration and analysis of multiple data sources and helps discover meaningful information. Nonnegative CMTF (N-CMTF) has been employed in many applications for identifying latent patterns, prediction, and recommendation. However, due to the added complexity with coupling between tensor and matrix data, existing N-CMTF algorithms exhibit poor computation efficiency. In this paper, a computationally efficient N-CMTF factorization algorithm is presented based on the column-wise element selection, preventing frequent gradient updates. Theoretical and empirical analyses show that the proposed N-CMTF factorization algorithm is not only more accurate but also more computationally efficient than existing algorithms in approximating the tensor as well as in identifying the underlying nature of factors.

description: In this viewpoint article we seek to make the farming community aware of the increasing presence of organised criminals and crime within the farming community. In the past decade there has been a discernible rise in the level of organized criminality in rural areas especially in relation to farm crime across Britain and Europe. This has been reported in the media in many European States and is exacerbated by the financial crisis and by a lack of cooperation between member states and agencies.
Balancing Pareto Front exploration of Non-dominated Tournament Genetic Algorithm (B-NTGA) in solving multi-objective NP-hard problems with constraints

description: The paper presents a new balanced selection operator applied to the proposed Balanced Non-dominated Tournament Genetic Algorithm (B-NTGA) that actively uses archive to solve multi- and many-objective NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems with constraints. The primary motivation is to make B-NTGA more efficient in exploring Pareto Front Approximation (PFa), focusing on 'gaps' and reducing some PFa regions' sampling too frequently. Such a balancing mechanism allows B-NTGA to be more adaptive and focus on less explored PFa regions. The proposed B-NTGA is investigated on two benchmark multi- and many-objective optimization real-world problems, like Thief Traveling Problem and Multi-Skill Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. The results of experiments show that B-NTGA has a higher efficiency and better performance than state-of-the-art methods.

description: The corrected capacity of a quantum channel is defined as the best one-shot capacity that can be obtained by measuring the environment and using the result to correct the output of the channel. It is shown that (i) all qubit channels have corrected capacity log 2, (ii) a product of N qubit channels has corrected capacity N log 2, and (iii) all channels have corrected capacity at least log 2. The question is posed of finding the channel with smallest corrected capacity in any dimension d.

description: After decades of research, the Internet of Things (IoT) is finally permeating real-life and helps improve the efficiency of infrastructures and processes as well as our health. As a massive number of IoT devices are deployed, they naturally incur great operational costs to ensure intended operations. To effectively handle such intended operations in massive IoT networks, automatic detection of malfunctioning, namely anomaly detection, becomes a critical but challenging task. In this paper, motivated by a real-world experimental IoT deployment, we introduce four types of wireless network anomalies that are identified at the link layer. We study the performance of threshold- and machine learning (ML)-based classifiers to automatically detect these anomalies. We examine the relative performance of three supervised and three unsupervised ML techniques on both non-encoded and encoded (autoencoder) feature representations. Our results demonstrate that; i) selected supervised approaches are able to detect anomalies with F1 scores of above 0.98, while unsupervised ones are also capable of detecting the said anomalies with F1 scores of, on average, 0.90, and ii) OC-SVM outperforms all the other unsupervised ML approaches reaching at F1 scores of 0.99 for SuddenD, 0.95 for SuddenR, 0.93 for InstaD and 0.95 for SlowD.

description: Recommendation Systems (RS) have become an essential part of many online services. Due to its pivotal role in guiding customers towards purchasing, there is a natural motivation for unscrupulous parties to spoof RS for profits. In this paper, we study the shilling attack: a subsistent and profitable attack where an adversarial party injects a number of user profiles to promote or demote a target item. Conventional shilling attack models are based on simple heuristics that can be easily detected, or directly adopt adversarial attack methods without a special design for RS. Moreover, the study on the attack impact on deep learning based RS is missing in the literature, making the effects of shilling attack against real RS doubtful. We present a novel Augmented Shilling Attack framework (AUSH) and implement it with the idea of Generative Adversarial Network. AUSH is capable of tailoring attacks against RS according to budget and complex attack goals, such as targeting a specific user group. We experimentally show that the attack impact of AUSH is noticeable on a wide range of RS including both classic and modern deep learning based RS, while it is virtually undetectable by the state-of-the-art attack detection model.

description: Reconstructing surfaces from normals is a key component of photometric stereo. This work introduces an adaptive surface triangulation in the image domain and afterwards performs the normal integration on a triangle mesh. Our key insight is that surface curvature can be computed from normals. Based on the curvature, we identify flat areas and aggregate pixels into triangles. The approximation quality is controlled by a single user parameter facilitating a seamless generation of low- to high-resolution meshes. Compared to pixel grids, our triangle meshes adapt locally to surface details and allow for a sparser representation. Our new mesh-based formulation of the normal integration problem is strictly derived from discrete differential geometry and leads to well-conditioned linear systems. Results on real and synthetic data show that 10 to 100 times less vertices are required than pixels. Experiments suggest that this sparsity translates into a sublinear runtime in the number of pixels. For 64 MP normal maps, our meshing-first approach generates and integrates meshes in minutes while pixel-based approaches require hours just for the integration.
