description: A characteristic common to all agricultural commodity programs since their inception in the 1920's has been the provision of benefits based on volume of production. It has long been alleged that such programs provide relatively greater assistance to large producers. The increasing concentration of production among a small number of large producers has renewed this concern over the structure of commodity programs. This paper examines a fundamental change in the programs -- benefits inversely provided to volume of production -- through variable target schemes and payment limitations. The structure of such a program is discussed, with particular emphasis on the important issues that emerge with this target price scheme.
Principal Problems Created After the Partition of India

description: The advent of independence to India and Pakistan in August 1947 brought many problems to both the countries. The political decision to divide the Undivided India could not, however, take note of its tremendous economic implications. In fact, these implications were pushed to the background for a time, because of the unexpected orgy of communal frenzy leading to mass massacres which took place in Punjab on the eve of independence and after. It took some time for new Governments in India and Pakistan to settle down and think of their normal functions.

description: Availability of energy, particularly petroleum-based fuels, is a serious national concern. A long run problem exists, and a more serious short run supply shortage is possible. Energy is an essential part of producing, processing, marketing, and distributing animal products. Specific policies and practices affecting energy usage in the animal products industry are examined. Short, intermediate, and long run conservation measures are identified. Planning for and meeting an energy crisis is discussed, along with three sets of guides or suggested policies relevant to the animal products industry.

description: We calculate the cross section for the dissociation of $J/ψ$ by kaons within the framework of a meson exchange model including anomalous parity interactions. Off-shell effects at the vertices were handled with QCD sum rule estimates for the running coupling constants. The total $J/ψ$-kaon cross section was found to be $1.0 \sim1.6$ mb for $4.1\leq\sqrt{s}\leq5 \GeV$.

description: From solar supergranulation to salt flat in Bolivia, from veins on leaves to cells on Drosophila wing discs, polygon-based networks exhibit great complexities, yet similarities persist and statistical distributions can be remarkably consistent. Based on analysis of 99 polygonal tessellations of a wide variety of physical origins, this work demonstrates the ubiquity of an exponential distribution in the squared norm of the deformation tensor, $E^{2}$, which directly leads to the ubiquitous presence of Gamma distributions in polygon aspect ratio. The $E^{2}$ distribution in turn arises as a $χ^{2}$-distribution, and an analytical framework is developed to compute its statistics. $E^{2}$ is closely related to many energy forms, and its Boltzmann-like feature allows the definition of a pseudo-temperature. Together with normality in other key variables such as vertex displacement, this work reveals regularities universally present in all systems alike

description: Current U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) food plans are designed to indicate food choices that meet specified nutritional requirements at four cost levels. The plans serve as guidelines for household food budgeting and as benchmarks for determining the distribution of program benefits. The cost of the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP), used as the basis for determining food stamp allotments, is predetermined. The TFP interprets this expenditure level into food consumption, by food group. Three areas of criticism of the food plans are: the determination of nutritional adequacy, the analysis of food consumption patterns, and the updating of costs of the plans. Suggested possible changes in the construction of food plans range from minor modifications in data analysis to restructuring of the plans. The construction of the plans involves issues of policy, nutrition, and economics.

description: Background: UNESCO (2015) and the World Health Organization (2018) and embrace physical literacy (PL) as an important aspect of quality physical education and lifelong physical activity. However, translating the complex theoretical-philosophical foundations of PL into practical interventions remains a significant challenge. Purpose: Therefore, the goal of the present study was to examine to which extent intervention studies (a) recognize the holistic nature of PL, (b) target the different PL domains, and (c) link intervention content to PL theory. Methods: In November 2020, we conducted a multi-step literature search (PROSPERO registration: CRD42020188926) in 18 databases. Eligible studies included those that were either based on or inspired by PL theory; published in academic journals or book sections. To explore the link between intervention content and PL theory, we utilized 9/19 Items from the Theory Coding Scheme for behavior change techniques. Results: A total of N=39 PL interventions met eligibility criteria and were included in the final analyses. While 76.9% of the studies adopted a holistic understanding of PL, only 15 studies (38.5%) targeted all three PL domains. Combined, physical competence was addressed more frequently (87.2%). Only five studies made explicit links between the PL domains and intervention techniques (12.8%). The requested intertwining of PL domains within intervention techniques should be considered more thoroughly. Conclusions: In summary, PL interventions may better harmonize with PL theory and conception if they cultivated a tight interlocking with the three core domains at all stages of the intervention process. Funding: No specific funding.

description: In a unified approach we consider transport properties of 1D and quasi-1D waveguides with rough surfaces. Main attention is paid to the possibility of perfect transmission of waves due to specific long-range correlations in the surface profiles. First, we show how to construct random profiles that lead to a complete transparency of waveguides with one open channel. Then, we present analytical results for many-mode waveguides. It was revealed that by a proper choice of correlations in surface profiles the transmission through such quasi-1D waveguides is described by a coset of non-interacting 1D channels with a perfect transmission along each one. The number of these conducting modes is governed by the control parameter, and can be equal to the total number of channels. Therefore, the waveguides can be completely transparent in some region of frequency of incoming waves. This unexpected phenomenon is discussed in connection with the violation of the single-parameter scaling for surface scattering.

title: The Northern Ireland Legislation Courses: An Investigation of the Contribution of Open Learning to the Effectiveness of In-House Training.
Creators: name: Redpath, Gwyneth M
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: This thesis investigates "Open Learning" and the literature available, and shows that training courses do not have to have a "media" content to be classified as open learning. It is also shown, through the literature, that there are three supports to open learning: learner choice; learner support; and informed learner input. The thesis investigates the use of "learner support" as a way of making training courses more open, using, as the vehicle, the Northern Ireland Legislation Courses, produced "in-house" by the Northern Ireland Civil Service. Lewis's Open learning continuum is adapted for use to show whether total course provision is more open. Evaluation and "effectiveness" are investigated also. "Effectiveness" is considered in the area of training, and an original metaphor is used to explain the meanings of "effectiveness" and "efficiency". Evaluation is considered, both in relation to "effectiveness",and also whether it should be done at all and if so, by whom and how.

Comparison with cost estimates for marketing indicates the general level of the profits realized. Evaluation of cost and returns data provide public information on the efficiency and equity of the meat marketing sector. This report examines tne history of price splau anu cost component estimates, evaluates cue accuracy and adequacy of the data, and suggests some alternative procedures. Available data allow some further improvement in estimating price spreads; but, more data are needed from marketing firms before cost components can be improved.

We study the dependence of these processes on the cooling/heating rates as well as on the role of aging (the time elapsed in the glass state). We compare the properties of the potential energy landscape sampled during these processes with the corresponding properties sampled in the liquid equilibrium state to elucidate under which conditions glass configurations can be associated with equilibrium liquid configurations.

description: Background: Fundamental movement skills (FMS) have been identified as having a strong association with physical activity (PA). To develop FMS, resistance training (RT) may be a favourable intervention strategy. While PA guidelines recommend ‘activity to develop movement skills and muscular fitness’, there has been limited research to date on the impact of RT on FMS in youth. Purpose: This study aimed to explore the impact of a RT intervention on FMS of inactive and/or overweight/obese youth. Methods: Following ethics approval, 12 inactive and/or overweight/obese participants were assigned to an experimental (EG; age 8.7±1years, BMI z-score= 2.54±0.61) or control group (CG; age 9.2±1years, BMI z-score= 1.50±0.93). Pre- and post-intervention assessments for strength (isometric mid-thigh pull) and FMS (CAMSA) were completed. The EG participated in a 10-week RT programme (45minutes, twice weekly). Results: There were significant time x group interactions for FMS (CAMSA total P= 0.016, CAMSA skill score P= 0.036) with EG changes greater than CG. Large effect sizes were evident for CAMSA total score (Hedges’ g= 0.830, P= 0.138), CAMSA skill score (Hedges’ g= 0.895, P= 0.112) and relative strength (Hedges’ g= 0.825, P= 0.140). Conclusions: A RT intervention had a positive impact on strength and FMS in this population. Neural adaptations, resulting from RT, may provide a mechanism. Since there is strong evidence of an association between FMS and PA, it could be hypothesised that RT could positively affect PA levels too, however further work is required to substantiate this.

description: Currently, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Recreation (Rec) department is looking to improve the accessibility and usability of their website in order to increase engagement from UBC students. As well, they wish to increase participation in physical activity and fitness programs on campus by having a strong digital media presence. It is theorized that by making the website more engaging, it will ultimately increase fitness program participation on campus. The purpose of this study is to explore the literature to gain more insight on methods using digital media that have previously been successful in increasing student engagement in physical activity. Through finding effective methods, comparisons are made to see what UBC Rec is currently doing well, and what recommendations can be made in improving aspects that are not yet working in favour of reaching said goals. A survey including questions varying from current physical activity participation to awareness and use of the UBC Rec website was distributed to various demographics within the UBC community to gain an idea of how much the website is already being used, and where people are getting their information from currently. Once the findings were observed, it was determined that the majority of the participants do not use the website as their primary source of information for recreation programs on campus. The majority also agreed that if the website were to be improved and more advertised on campus, that the likelihood of them using the website would be greater. The majority of the participants were physically active, and the majority did not participate in physical activity on campus. With this information, the goal of this study is to provide justified recommendations to the UBC Rec website editors in improving the accessibility, design, and usability of the website by students and members of the UBC Community.

description: We consider the KdV equation on a circle and its Lie-Poisson reconstruction, which is reminiscent of an equation of motion for fluid particles. For periodic waves, the stroboscopic reconstructed motion is governed by an iterated map whose Poincaré rotation number yields the drift velocity. We show that this number has a geometric origin: it is the sum of a dynamical phase, a Berry phase, and an "anomalous phase". The last two quantities are universal: they are solely due to the underlying Virasoro group structure. The Berry phase, in particular, was previously described in [arXiv:1703.06142] for two-dimensional conformal field theories, and follows from adiabatic deformations produced by the propagating wave. We illustrate these general results with cnoidal waves, for which all phases can be evaluated in closed form thanks to a uniformizing map that we derive. Along the way, we encounter "orbital bifurcations" occurring when a wave becomes non-uniformizable: there exists a resonance wedge, in the cnoidal parameter space, where particle motion is locked to the wave, while no such locking occurs outside of the wedge.

description: We study visible neutrino decay at the reactor neutrino experiments KamLAND and, JUNO. Assuming the Majoron model of neutrino decay, we obtain constraints on the couplings between Majoron and neutrino as well as on the lifetime/mass of the most massive neutrino state i.e., $τ_{3} / m_{3}$ or $τ_{2} / m_{2}$, respectively, for the normal or the inverted mass orderings. We obtain the constraints on the lifetime $τ_{2} / m_{2} \geq 1.4 \times 10^{-9}~\rm{s/eV}$ in the inverted mass ordering for both KamLAND and JUNO at 90% CL. In the normal ordering in which the bound can be obtained for JUNO only, the constraint is milder than the inverted ordering case, $τ_{3} / m_{3} \geq 1.0 \times 10^{-10}~\rm{s/eV}$ at 90% CL. We find that the dependence of lightest neutrino mass ($=m_{\rm{lightest}}$), $m_1 (m_3)$ for the normal (inverted) mass ordering, on the constraints for the different types of couplings (scalar or pseudo-scalar) is rather strong, but the $m_{\rm{lightest}}$ dependence on the lifetime/mass bound is only modest.

description: We have detected the 372 GHz line of ortho-H2D+ towards the pre-stellar core L1544. The strongest emission (T_mb ~ 1 K) occurs at the peak of the millimeter continuum emission, while measurements at offset positions indicate that H2D+ is confined within ~ 20 arcsec, where CO is highly depleted. The derived H2D+ abundance of ~ 10^{-9} is comparable with previous estimates of the electron abundance in the core, which suggests that H2D+ is the main molecular ion in the central 20 arcsec (2800 AU) of L1544. This confirms the expectations that H2D+ is dramatically enhanced in gas depleted of molecules other than H2. The measured abundance even exceeds the present model predictions by about a factor ten. One possibility is that all CNO-bearing neutral species, including atomic oxygen, are almost completely (> 98%) frozen within a radius of ~2800 AU.

description: Background: To have population-level impact, physical activity (PA) interventions must be effectively implemented and sustained under real-world conditions. Adequate Fundamental Movement Skill (FMS) is integral to children’s PA participation. Yet, few FMS interventions have been implemented at scale due to the insufficient understanding of influences on implementation. Purpose: The study used Collective Intelligence (CI) —an applied systems science approach—with stakeholder groups to understand barriers to implementing FMS interventions, interdependencies between these barriers, and options to overcome the system of barriers identified. Methods: Three CI sessions were conducted with three separate groups of experienced FMS intervention researchers/practitioners (n=22) in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Participants generated and ranked barriers they perceive most critical in implementing FMS interventions. Each group developed a structural model describing how highly ranked barriers are interrelated in a system. Participants then conducted action mapping to solve the problem based on the logical relations between barriers reflected in the model. Results: The top ranked barriers (of 76) are those related to policy, Physical Education curriculum, and stakeholders’ knowledge and appreciation. As reflected in the structural model, these barriers have influences over stakeholders’ efficacy in delivering and evaluating interventions. According to this logical structure, 38 solutions were created as a roadmap to inform policy, practice, and research. The roadmap suggests implementation efforts need to be coordinated, and a policy or local infrastructure that supports these efforts is needed. Conclusions: The current study provides a powerful template (CI process) and design framework (roadmap) for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the PA field to operationalise future projects in more systemic and relational terms.

description: Active galactic nuclei are clearly heating gas in `cooling flows'. The effectiveness and spatial distribution of the heating are controversial. We use three-dimensional simulations on adaptive grids to study the impact on a cooling flow of weak, subrelativistic jets. The simulations show cavities and vortex rings as in the observations. The cavities are fast-expanding dynamical objects rather than buoyant bubbles as previously modelled, but shocks still remain extremely hard to detect with X-rays. At late times the cavities turn into overdensities that strongly excite the cluster's g-modes. These modes damp on a long timescale. Radial mixing is shown to be an important phenomenon, but the jets weaken the metallicity gradient only very near the centre. The central entropy density is modestly increased by the jets. We use a novel algorithm to impose the jets on the simulations.

description: Background: The benefits of being physically active, possessing good motor skills, and being school ready are well documented in early years. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that the majority of early years children do not engage in sufficient amounts of physical activity, have low motor skill competence, and 30% of children in England, do not achieve school readiness. Reception is a key stage in the development of health and educational behaviours. Purpose: To explore the association between physical activity, motor skills and school readiness in early years children. Methods: An observational study was conducted collecting data on 326 Reception children's physical activity (ActiGraph GT1M accelerometers), motor skills (MABC-2 and the locomotor section of the TGMD-2) and school readiness levels (EYFS profile). Results: This study found that on average children were sufficiently physically active according to the UK physical activity guidelines, and engaged in less sedentary behaviour than previously documented. Motor skills scores were in line with previous research on early years motor skills. A higher percentage of children in the sample (80%) achieved school readiness than the average for England. Regression analyses found that motor skills and sedentary behaviour were significantly predictive of school readiness, whereas physical activity was not. Conclusion: The promotion of motor skills in parallel with developmentally positive sedentary behaviours, whilst maintaining sufficient physical activity, in early years, may help to increase the number of children achieving school readiness, and may lead to long term benefits in educational, social, and physical development. Funding: This project was funded by Teesside University as part of the lead authors PhD project.

description: We consider a quantum dot coupled to two BCS superconductors with same gap energies $Δ$. The transport properties are investigated by means of infinite-$U$ noncrossing approximation. In equilibrium density of states, Kondo effect shows up as two sharp peaks around the gap bounds. Application of a finite voltage bias leads these peaks to split, leaving suppressed peaks near the edges of energy gap of each lead. The clearest signatures of the Kondo effect in transport are three peaks in the nonlinear differential conductance: one around zero bias, another two at biases $\pm 2Δ$. This result is consistent with recent experiment. We also predict that with decreasing temperature, the differential conductances at biases $\pm 2Δ$ anomalously increase, while the linear conductance descends.

Twisted Tachyon Condensation in Closed String Field Theory

description: We consider twisted tachyons on C/Z_N orbifolds of bosonic closed string theory. It has been conjectured that these tachyonic instabilities correspond to decays of the orbifolds into flat space or into orbifolds with smaller deficit angles. We examine this conjecture using closed string field theory, with the string field truncated to low-level tachyons. We compute the tachyon potentials for C/Z_2 and C/Z_3 orbifolds and find critical points at depths that generate about 70% of the expected change in the deficit angle. We find that both twisted fields and untwisted modes localized near the apex of the cone acquire vacuum expectation values and contribute to the potential.

description: A 1982 survey of recreationists using the northeastern portion of Lake Champlain indicates that improving the water quality of St. Albans Bay, Vermont, would produce significant economic benefits. St. Albans Bay is currently suffering nutrient enrichment problems from both point and nonpoint sources. Applying the survey data to a travel cost model produced a benefit estimate for clean water of $537,000 per year for recreationists. Recreation benefits for clean water estimated by using the contingent rating method came to $230,000 per year. The two methods are compared and reasons give as to why the contingent rating results may be more accurate.
title: The Analysis of the Phonological Systems of Arabic Speaking Children with Cleft Palate in Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Makki, Suhair Mohammed
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: Cleft palate is a congenital defect which can affect speech intellgibility, giving rise to delayed and deviant articulatory patterns. Cleft palate speech has universal characteristics so that knowledge acquired about one language can be applied to another. Thus a hypothesis was postulated that cleft palate may affect the intelligibility of Arabic speaking children in a way similar to English speaking. Despite limited information on Arabic phonology, particularly in children, this study was designed to examine the phonetic and phonologic skills of sixteen children, eight children with surgically repaired cleft palate (subjects) and eight non-cleft children (control) within the age range of 3.3 to 6.9 years of age. Speech samples were audio-taped then subjected to a number of phonetic and phonological analyses. The results revealed that the cleft palate subjects were a homogenous group. They were similar to one another with respect to their phonetic inventories, frequency and types of phonological processes used. In comparison to the controls, the homogenous group of the subjects were similar only to the four youngest control and not to the oldest four controls. Some processes were identified in the analysis of subjects only that were the same published for English speaking children with cleft palate. The data has suggested that there is a loss of contrastivity in the cleft palate subjects' speech which could affect their speech intelligibility, but not all of the articulatory problems among subjects can be explained solely on the basis of past structural deficits but there may be other factors that have an implication.

description: Background: The Health Survey for England (2015) identified 80% of children aged 7–11 were below the World Health Organisation’s recommended 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA) per day. At this age a child’s central nervous system develops at an accelerated rate, offering an opportunity to build and develop strength whilst improving motor skill proficiency; both of which are important for participation in PA. Purpose: To explore possible associations between PA levels, motor skill competency and strength amongst children aged between 7–11 years. Methods: Seven-hundred pupils from 10 primary schools in Gloucestershire were tested over a 12-week period. Isometric strength was measured through an isometric mid-thigh pull using a portable force platform. Movement skill competency was assessed using the Athlete Introductory Movement Screen (AIMS-4). Finally, participants completed PA engagement (PAQ-C), enjoyment (PACES) and self-perception questionnaires (PSPP). Results: A Spearman’s Rho correlation identified a significant association (p<0.001) between movement skill competency and strength (rho=0.26), PA enjoyment (rho=0.17), PA engagement (rho=0.21), self-perception (rho=0.47), and number of sports played (rho2=0.26). Movement competency groups were determined using 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles taken from the AIMS-4 scores. A Kruskall-Wallis test indicated significant differences between each group, with participants in higher percentiles displaying higher scores for all other variables (p<0.001). Conclusion: Interventions aiming to improve children’s movement skill competencies have the potential to improve a variety of physical and psychological factors which can positively impact a child’s overall wellbeing.

description: We developed and empirically tested a differentiated products model for analyzing cargo preference legislation. Our results suggest that changes in cargo preference legislation will in aggregate have modest impacts upon the level of U.S. wheat exports, but will affect the proportions of U.S. wheat exports shipped on commercial and concessional terms. The impact on the U.S. export price of wheat depends on where the legislative changes are introduced. If the change is implemented in the market for commercial wheat sales, the U.S. export price will fall. Increased restrictions on concessional wheat sales could raise the U.S. export price of wheat.

description: The attached tables contain a number of time series frequently used in statistical demand analysis. These tables are revised annually by Ann Duncan of the National Aggregate Analysis Section, 447-7340. The exact status of each series can be ascertained from the footnotes. Since some of these data are regularly compiled by other agencies, we suggest that current revisions of basic data, particularly the estimates of total income and expenditures of the Department of Commerce and the estimates of prices by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, can best be obtained directly in publications from those agencies.

description: We present Spitzer observations in five wavebands between 3.6 and 24um of an unbiased sample of 9 luminous, dusty galaxies selected at 1200um by the MAMBO camera on the IRAM 30-m telescope, a population akin to the well-known submm or `SCUBA' galaxies (hereafter SMGs). Owing to the coarse resolution of submm/mm instrumentation, SMGs have traditionally been difficult to identify at other wavelengths. We compare our multi-wavelength catalogs to show that the overlap between 24 and 1200um must be close to complete at these flux levels. We find that all (4/4) of the most secure >=4sigma SMGs have robust >=4sigma counterparts at 1.4GHz, while the fraction drops to 7/9 using all >=3sigma SMGs. We show that combining mid-IR and marginal (>=3sigma) radio detections provides plausible identifications in the remaining cases, enabling us to identify the complete sample. Accretion onto an obscured central engine is betrayed by the shape of the mid-IR continuum emission for several sources, confirming Spitzer's potential to weed out active galaxies. We demonstrate the power of a S(24um)/S(8um) vs S(8um)/S(4.5um) color-color plot as a diagnostic for this purpose. However, we conclude that the majority (~75%) of SMGs have rest-frame mid-/far-IR SEDs commensurate with obscured starbursts. Sensitive 24-um observations are clearly a useful route to identify and characterize reliable counterparts to high-redshift far-IR-bright galaxies, complementing what is possible via deep radio imaging.
