description: To find and adopt those farming activities, solutions and technologies that are suitable for effective production, ensuring the viability for the farmers by the product chain is one of the basic tasks of a sustainable economy. The limited area of arable land is one of our key resources in agriculture and in the life of rural areas as well. The aim of the study is to discuss the new paradigm of ‘degrowth’ along the potential alternative farming strategies focusing on the land question, based on thoughts of Serge Latouche. The new values (Réévaluer – reappraise) suggest the intent of preserving nature at least in the current condition. Both precision agriculture and herb plantations or organic production are tools in this and allow the efficient use of natural resources (Restructurer – restructuring factors of production). Each farming strategy in which the farmers’ cooperation is the base of an efficient machinery use (Restructurer – restructuring of social relationships), each technology that reduces the human-health risk (Réduire – reduction) shows into the direction of degrowth. We believe that it will not be possible to maintain a sustainable economy without strengthening the rural areas, helping farmers to find successful ways/strategies for development, being innovative and to cooperate with each other. Values, attitudes, networks, trust and openness are important to both individual and social utility coincidence that promotes the sustainability of being viable, competitive in wider meaning: future orientation, ability to renew (development, imitation, synthesis), economic/social cooperation.

description: Network's resilience to the malfunction of its components has been of great concern. The goal of this work is to determine the network design guidelines, which maximizes the network efficiency while keeping the cost of the network (that is the average connectivity) constant. With a global optimization method, memory tabu search (MTS), we get the optimal network structure with the approximately best efficiency. We analyze the statistical characters of the network and find that a network with a small quantity of hub nodes, high degree of clustering may be much more resilient to perturbations than a random network and the optimal network is one kind of highly heterogeneous networks. The results strongly suggest that networks with higher efficiency are more robust to random failures. In addition, we propose a simple model to describe the statistical properties of the optimal network and investigate the synchronizability of this model.

Time-Series Analysis of Super-Kamiokande Measurements of the Solar Neutrino Flux
Creators: name: Sturrock, P. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Super-Kamiokande Consortium has recently released data suitable for time-series analysis. The binning is highly regular: the power spectrum of the acquisition times has a huge peak (power S > 120) at the frequency (in cycles per year) 35.98 (period 10.15 days), where power measurements are such that the probability of obtaining a peak of strength S or more by chance at a specified frequency is exp(-S). This inevitably leads to severe aliasing of the power spectrum. The strongest peak in the range 0 - 100 in a power spectrum formed by a likelihood procedure is at 26.57 (period 13.75 days) with S = 11.26. For the range 0 - 40, the second-strongest peak is at 9.42 (period 38.82 days) with S = 7.3. Since 26.57 + 9.42 = 35.99, we conclude that the weaker peak at 9.42 is an alias of the stronger peak at 26.57. We note that 26.57 falls in the band 26.36 - 27.66, formed from twice the range of synodic rotation frequencies of an equatorial section of the Sun for normalized radius larger than 0.1. Oscillations at twice the rotation frequency, attributable to "m = 2" structures, are not uncommon in solar data. We find from the shuffle test that the probability of obtaining a peak of S = 11.26 or more by chance in this band is 0.1 %. This new result therefore supports at the 99.9% confidence level previous evidence, found in Homestake and GALLEX-GNO data, for rotational modulation of the solar neutrino flux. The frequency 25.57 points to a source of modulation at or near the tachocline.

description: Leah Henrickson explores the contexts surrounding the publication of The Policeman's Beard is Half Constructed, advertised as “the first book ever written by a computer” at the time of its release in 1984. Drawing from contemporary reviews, personal correspondence with the book’s creators, and analysis of the book itself, Henrickson offers insight into precisely how this book was produced, and by whom. Although a computer program called Racter is listed as the author of The Policeman’s Beard, this attribution does not accurately reflect the human labor driving the book’s development and dissemination. This essay illuminates these networks of human labour that ultimately led to Racter and The Policeman's Beard.

description: We argue that the instability of Euclidean Einstein gravity is an indication that the vacuum is non perturbative and contains a condensate of the metric tensor in a manner reminiscent of Yang-Mills theories. As a simple step toward the characterization of such a vacuum the value of the one-loop effective action is computed for Euclidean de Sitter spaces as a function of the curvature when the unstable conformal modes are held fixed. Two phases are found, one where the curvature is large and gravitons should be confined and another one which appears to be weakly coupled and tends to be flat. The induced cosmological constant is positive or negative in the strongly or weakly curved phase, respectively. The relevance of the Casimir effect in understanding the UV sensitivity of gravity is pointed out.

description: Discrete breathers are time-periodic, spatially localized solutions of the equations of motion for a system of classical degrees of freedom interacting on a lattice. We study the existence of energy thresholds for discrete breathers, i.e., the question whether, in a certain system, discrete breathers of arbitrarily low energy exist, or a threshold has to be overcome in order to excite a discrete breather. Breather energies are found to have a positive lower bound if the lattice dimension d is greater than or equal to a certain critical value d_c, whereas no energy threshold is observed for d

Partially asymmetric exclusion models with quenched disorder

description: We consider the one-dimensional partially asymmetric exclusion process with random hopping rates, in which a fraction of particles (or sites) have a preferential jumping direction against the global drift. In this case the accumulated distance traveled by the particles, x, scales with the time, t, as x ~ t^{1/z}, with a dynamical exponent z > 0. Using extreme value statistics and an asymptotically exact strong disorder renormalization group method we analytically calculate, z_{pt}, for particlewise (pt) disorder, which is argued to be related to the dynamical exponent for sitewise (st) disorder as z_{st}=z_{pt}/2. In the symmetric situation with zero mean drift the particle diffusion is ultra-slow, logarithmic in time.

description: We compare the entropy as a function of energy of excited strings and black strings in an asymptotically plane wave background at the level of the correspondence principle. For the plane wave supported by the NSNS 3-form flux, neither the entropy formula nor the cross-over scale is affected by the presence of the flux and the correspondence is found to hold. For the plane wave supported by the RR 3-form flux, both the entropy and the cross-over point are modified, but the correspondence is still found to hold.

An investigation into culturally appropriate building designs for First Nations at UBC farm
Creators: name: Peters, Michael
name: Shi, Tian Tong

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This investigation sought to evaluate different styles of Aboriginal housing design, with focus placed on designs that could be considered culturally appropriate for the Vancouver area. Ultimately, this building will be erected at the UBC Farm, and will be used as a community and activity center for Aboriginal Bands from different areas. Although this project’s scope was mainly focused on local housing styles, other Indigenous housing styles were included for background information. However, special consideration was given to Musqueam housing designs, as the UBC Farm is situated on traditional Musqueam land. Since this report serves as a cultural investigation, it focused more on broad cultural and design considerations, as opposed to specific construction techniques or measurements. Five designs were investigated: Tipi, Grass House, Plank House, Pit-House, and Wigwam. The Tipi and Grass House designs were used for background information, while a triple bottom line (Social, Economic, and Ecological) assessment was conducted for the Plank House, Pit-House, and Wigam. Special consideration was given to the social assessment, as the main focus of this paper is to determine a culturally appropriate design. This investigation suggests that the Plank House is the most culturally appropriate design for the Vancouver area. The Plank House has many design features common to different Bands in BC, and was expressly suggested by Musqueam Elder Larry Grant as the design of choice for community buildings. However, it is the most costly of the designs considered, both in terms of construction and energy loss. In contrast, the Pit- House was the next most culturally appropriate design, while being the least expensive in terms of materials. The Pit-house uses the natural insulation of soil to reduce energy loss, making it the most sustainable design considered. The Wigwam was neither the most culturally appropriate, nor the most economically feasible. This report recommends that the first building constructed at the UBC Farm should be a Plank House design, since it appears to be the most culturally appropriate. However, if there are considerations for other buildings in the future, a Pit-House design would be recommended, as it is the most economically feasible, and only slightly less culturally appropriate.

description: Solid state batteries with a lithium metal electrode are considered the next generation of high energy battery technology. Unfortunately, lithium metal is prone to harmful protrusion or dendrite growth which causes dangerous cell failure. Within this work the problem of protrusion growth is tackled by deriving a novel electro-chemo-mechanical theory tailored for binary solid state batteries which is then used to discuss the impact of mechanics on interface stability by numerical studies.

description: We introduce an extension of the standard inflationary paradigm on which the big bang singularity is replaced by an anisotropic bounce. Unlike in the big bang model, cosmological perturbations find an adiabatic regime in the past. We show that this scenario accounts for the observed quadrupolar modulation in the temperature anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), and we make predictions for the remaining angular correlation functions E-E, B-B and T-E, together with non-zero temperature-polarization correlations T-B and E-B, that can be used to test our ideas. We base our calculations on the bounce predicted by loop quantum cosmology, but our techniques and conclusions apply to other bouncing models as well.

description: In this paper we present a summary of results obtained for scalar field theories using the Feynman-Schwinger (FSR) approach. Specifically, scalar QED and chi^2phi theories are considered. The motivation behind the applications discussed in this paper is to use the FSR method as a rigorous tool for testing the quality of commonly used approximations in field theory. Exact calculations in a quenched theory are presented for one-, two-, and three-body bound states. Results obtained indicate that some of the commonly used approximations, such as Bethe-Salpeter ladder summation for bound states and the rainbow summation for one body problems, produce significantly different results from those obtained from the FSR approach. We find that more accurate results can be obtained using other, simpler, approximation schemes.

description: Graph-structured data arise ubiquitously in many application domains. A fundamental problem is to quantify their similarities. Graph kernels are often used for this purpose, which decompose graphs into substructures and compare these substructures. However, most of the existing graph kernels do not have the property of scale-adaptivity, i.e., they cannot compare graphs at multiple levels of granularities. Many real-world graphs such as molecules exhibit structure at varying levels of granularities. To tackle this problem, we propose a new graph kernel called Tree++ in this paper. At the heart of Tree++ is a graph kernel called the path-pattern graph kernel. The path-pattern graph kernel first builds a truncated BFS tree rooted at each vertex and then uses paths from the root to every vertex in the truncated BFS tree as features to represent graphs. The path-pattern graph kernel can only capture graph similarity at fine granularities. In order to capture graph similarity at coarse granularities, we incorporate a new concept called super path into it. The super path contains truncated BFS trees rooted at the vertices in a path. Our evaluation on a variety of real-world graphs demonstrates that Tree++ achieves the best classification accuracy compared with previous graph kernels.

description: We estimate the dust extinction laws in two intermediate redshift galaxies. The dust in the lens galaxy of LBQS1009-0252, which has an estimated lens redshift of zl~0.88, appears to be similar to that of the SMC with no significant feature at 2175 A. Only if the lens galaxy is at a redshift of zl~0.3, completely inconsistent with the galaxy colors, luminosity or location on the fundamental plane, can the data be fit with a normal Galactic extinction curve. The dust in the zl=0.68 lens galaxy for B0218+357, whose reddened image lies behind a molecular cloud, requires a very flat ultraviolet extinction curve with (formally) R(V)=12 +- 2. Both lens systems seem to have unusual extinction curves by Galactic standards.

We discuss corrections to number fluctuations, order parameter, and compressibility. In particular, we improve the description of the short-range correlations in the one-particle density matrix. These corrections are important for experimentally observed expansion patterns, both for bulk lattices and in a confining trap potential.

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

description: Based on the (approximate) chiral symmetry of QCD Lagrangian and the bound state assumption of effective meson fields, a nonlinearly realized effective chiral Lagrangian for meson fields is obtained from integrating out the quark fields by using the new finite regularization method. As the new method preserves the symmetry principles of the original theory and meanwhile keeps the finite quadratic term given by a physically meaningful characteristic energy scale $M_c$, it then leads to a dynamically spontaneous symmetry breaking in the effective chiral field theory. The gap equations are obtained as the conditions of minimal effective potential in the effective theory. The instanton effects are included via the induced interactions discovered by 't Hooft and found to play an important role in obtaining the physical solutions for the gap equations. The lightest nonet scalar mesons($σ$, $f_0$, $a_0$ and $κ$) appearing as the chiral partners of the nonet pseudoscalar mesons are found to be composite Higgs bosons with masses below the chiral symmetry breaking scale $Λ_χ \sim 1.2$ GeV. In particular, the mass of the singlet scalar (or the $σ$) is found to be $m_σ \simeq 677$ MeV.

description: Predicting behaviors is particularly important in the field of environmental management because the environment is greatly influenced by human behavior. This paper aims to contribute to the development of an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) and to gain some insight into the motives for employees' intentions to implement green practices in Algeria as a developing country. Data were collected from the convenience sample of 182 employees in three Algerian cities using a questionnaire survey. The results indicated that attitude toward behavior, subjective norms and environmental knowledge is positively and significantly affect employee's intention to implement green practices. The results also suggested that perceived behavior control had no significant effect. It is expected that the results of this paper can aid policymakers and stakeholders in drafting and implementing sustainable environmental regulations in the workplace.
title: Serotonergic modulation of attentional processes in the rat prefrontal cortex.
Creators: name: Carli, Mirjana
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: The experimental evidence for the 5-HT system involvement in cognitive processes sensitive to dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex is sparse. The aim of this project was to examine serotonergic modulation of attentional performance deficits in the 5- choice serial reaction time (5-CSRT) task induced by blockade of NMDA receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of rats. Using in-vivo microdialysis techniques attempts have been made to relate the behavioural effects of 5-HT receptors agonists and antagonists to changes in glutamate and 5-HT efflux induced by blockade of NMDA receptors in the mPFC.
The data clearly demonstrate that glutamate transmission in the mPFC is involved in the control of attentional performance on the 5-CSRT task. The data also show for the first time that enhanced glutamate and 5-HT release induced by blockade of NMDA receptors in the mPFC are not causally related to aspects of inhibitory response control as indexed by impulsive anticipatory and compulsive perseverative responses.
The important suggestion emerging from this study is that of distinct neuromodulation in the control of impulsive responding by 5-HT 2A/5-HT2C receptors and in compulsive behaviours by 5-HT1A and DA D 2 receptors in the prefrontal cortex. Intriguingly deficits in attentional accuracy might be associated with increased glutamate release in the mPFC.
Thus behavioural evidence obtained in animals with dysfunctional glutamate transmission performing the 5-CSRT task, as well as a series of pharmacological manipulations of 5-HT, DA and mGlu2/3 receptor mechanisms have been presented that are consistent with the hypothesis that serotonergic mechanisms in the prefrontal cortex play specific roles in attention and response selection particularly when these have a possible function in the strategic control of behaviour.
These behavioural and neurochemical studies provide new information on the physiological mechanisms involved in the control of various aspects of attentional performance as well as in cognitive deficits associated with some neuropsychiatric disorders.
Short-range charge fluctuations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model

description: We investigate charge fluctuations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model as a function of doping, interaction strength, next-nearest-neighbor hopping, and temperature within the eight-site dynamical cluster approximation. In the regime of intermediate interaction strengths, we find that $d$ density wave fluctuations, which had previously been postulated using analytical arguments, are present and strong but cannot be interpreted as the cause of the pseudogap in the model, due to their evolution with doping and interaction strength. For all parameters away from half filling, the charge fluctuations investigated, including $d$ density wave fluctuations, are weaker than $d$-wave superconducting fluctuations.

Varieties of framing the circular economy and the bioeconomy: unpacking business interests in European policymaking

description: This article analyses policy framing as a means of interest politics in the context of the European Union’s circular economy and bioeconomy agendas. It discusses the extent to which business actors engage with the concepts of circular economy and bioeconomy in their public communication, how they frame these concepts, and whether we can observe frame congruence with views held by key policymakers. Empirically the study compares the paper, plastics and bioplastics value chains using computer-assisted text analysis of industry and policy documents. The findings suggest that while industry actors proactively engage with both concepts, they diverge significantly in the ways they do so. This highlights the need to unpack business interests in order to account for frame varieties.

description: We study a recent model for calcium signal transduction. This model displays spiking, bursting and chaotic oscillations in accordance with experimental results. We calculate bifurcation diagrams and study the bursting behaviour in detail. This behaviour is classified according to the dynamics of separated slow and fast subsystems. It is shown to be of the Fold-Hopf type, a type which was previously only described in the context of neuronal systems, but not in the context of signal transduction in the cell.

title: Identification of microbes degrading nematicides and the development of a diagnostic assay for nematicide persistence in soils.
Creators: name: Osborn, Rachel Kathleen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: The potential for enhanced degradation of the carbamate nematicides oxamyl and aldicarb was demonstrated in UK agricultural soils by applying three successive applications in laboratory incubation. Enhanced degradation was observed in all of the soils treated with oxamyl except one, soil OX 11. The reason for the comparatively slow rates of degradation in this soil could not be explained by any physical property of the soil. Enhanced rates of degradation were recorded for nine of the fifteen soils treated with aldicarb. The rate of aldicarb degradation did appear to be affected by low pH and high organic matter content. Enhanced degradation of the organophosphorus nematicide fosthiazate was not observed in any of the ten soils investigated. This was the case irrespective of soil type, pH, organic matter or nematicide-treatment history.

Enhanced degradation of oxamyl was also observed in liquid media containing oxamyl as the sole carbon source. Thirty-six oxamyl-degrading bacteria from seven different soils were characterised by partial 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Twenty-one of these strains showed high similarity to Aminobacter aminovorans, 14 demonstrated an equal degree of similarity to the species A. niigataensis and Chelatobacter heintzii and one was classed as a Mesorhizobium sp. Using mcd gene specific primers to detect mcd gene homologous sequences resulted in the visualisation of mcd gene sized bands, under gel electrophoresis, for ten of the 28 isolates tested.

An investigation into the suitability of the enrichment culture method for predicting the potential for enhanced degradation of nematicides in agricultural soils gave promising results. The enrichment culture method mirrored the enhanced degradation results of the incubation study in nine of the 19 soils tested, i.e., enhanced degradation occurred in both the incubation and the enrichment study or it was absent from both. The method was, however, found to be less reliable in low pH soils.
The Gravitational Polarization in General Relativity: Solution to Szekeres' Model of Quadrupole Polarization

description: A model for the static weak-field macroscopic medium is analyzed and the equation for the macroscopic gravitational potential is derived. This is a biharmonic equation which is a non-trivial generalization of the Poisson equation of Newtonian gravity. In case of the strong gravitational quadrupole polarization it essentially holds inside a macroscopic matter source. Outside the source the gravitational potential fades away exponentially. The equation is equivalent to a system of the Poisson equation and the nonhomogeneous modified Helmholtz equations. The general solution to this system is obtained by using Green's function method and it does not have a limit to Newtonian gravity. In case of the insignificant gravitational quadrupole polarization the equation for macroscopic gravitational potential becomes the Poisson equation with the matter density renormalized by the factor including the value of the quadrupole gravitational polarization of the source. The general solution to this equation obtained by using Green's function method has a limit to Newtonian gravity.
