description: Label Rouge is a complementary commercial branding popular in France that guarantees high quality of products recognized by 80% of the French consumers. The label is driven by consumer preferences which are highly influenced by French culture and tradition. Label Rouge is mainly known for its association with the best quality poultry meat since 1965. This program involves all aspects of production from genetic breeders and farmers to processing plants where every part of production is controlled and must follow the Label Rouge requirements. In the U.S., poultry production greatly increased throughout the 1980s and 1990s due to Americans’ changing lifestyle (EPA, 2009). Consumers became more health conscious and sought more convenient food items. This led to the increased commercialization of poultry production which is now mostly a vertically integrated industry. The vertically integrated nature of poultry production gives the application of the Label Rouge system a lot of potential for the U.S. poultry industry. However, the issue of consumer acceptability and overall applicability in the U.S. is still in question. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the Label Rouge poultry system in France and its relevance in the U.S. poultry industry. The novel relationship of consumer preferences to the label makes it challenging for the Label Rouge program to be applicable in the U.S.; American consumers do not have as distinct tastes and preferences similar to French consumers driving the demand for this type of poultry meat. However, the system of quality assurance to consumers has great potential. Demand for traceability and food safety is intensifying; therefore configuring the poultry sector into a system similar to Label Rouge is very prospective. In France, consumers prefer it over the organic label due to cheaper prices while the difference in quality is judged insignificant. In addition, there is no industry-wide label known in the U.S. that assures product quality, thus the niche market concept for Label Rouge could be adopted after the specifications are adjusted to fit U.S. consumer tastes and preferences. A very important consideration is the economic trade-off inherent in this level of certification. The balance between supply and demand must be sustained while the process moves towards a stable, sustainable, and a fully traceable system. This transformation faces a long progression toward market acceptance.
Relativistic chaos is coordinate invariant

description: The noninvariance of Lyapunov exponents in general relativity has led to the conclusion that chaos depends on the choice of the space-time coordinates. Strikingly, we uncover the transformation laws of Lyapunov exponents under general space-time transformations and we find that chaos, as characterized by positive Lyapunov exponents, is coordinate invariant. As a result, the previous conclusion regarding the noninvariance of chaos in cosmology, a major claim about chaos in general relativity, necessarily involves the violation of hypotheses required for a proper definition of the Lyapunov exponents.

description: Consumers are often confused by the product dating systems used by the food manufacturers. However, they have reported that they consider these dates when purchasing lunchmeats and other ready-to-eat foods. A study was conducted to evaluate changes of microbiological quality of packaged lunchmeat during refrigerated storage as related to the sell-by-date (SBD). Thirty packages of lunchmeat with the same lot number were tested over an extended period. The microbiological quality was satisfactory at the time of purchase. It deteriorated steadily during refrigerated storage regardless of whether the packages were opened or not, and was unsatisfactory at SBD. Food manufacturers should strive to meet the microbiological quality standards and consider the usefulness of the information to consumers when setting a product date.

description: Dynamics among central sources (hubs) providing a resource and large number of components enjoying and contributing to this resource describes many real life situations. Modeling, controlling, and balancing this dynamics is a general problem that arises in many scientific disciplines. We analyze a stochastic dynamical system exhibiting this dynamics with a multiplicative noise. We show that this model can be solved exactly by passing to variables that describe the mass ratio between the components and the hub. We derive a deterministic equation for the average mass ratio. This equation describes logistic growth. We derive the full phase diagram of the model and identify three regimes by calculating the sample and moment Lyapunov exponent of the system. The first regime describes full balance between the non-hub components and the hub, in the second regime the entire resource is concentrated mainly in the hub, and in the third regime the resource is localized on a few non-hub components and the hub. Surprisingly, in the limit of large number of components the transition values do not depend on the amount of resource given by the hub. This model has interesting application in the context of analysis of porous media using Magnetic Resonance (MR) techniques.

description: ew-electron systems confined in quasi one-dimensional quantum dots are studied by the configuration interaction approach. We consider the parity symmetry of states forming Wigner molecules in large quantum dots and find that for the spin-polarized Wigner molecules it strictly depends on the number of electrons. We investigate the spatial spin-ordering in the inner coordinates of the quantum system and conclude that for small dots it has a short-range character and results mainly from the Pauli exclusion principle while the Wigner crystallization in large dots is accompanied by spin ordering over the entire length of the dot.

We numerically construct black hole solutions that are dual to a superfluid phase with a periodic lattice of vortices. For the specific model we investigate, we find that the thermodynamically preferred configuration is given by a triangular lattice and moreover the vortices are associated with the lowest Landau level. We also construct black holes describing a lattice of vortices associated with the next to lowest Landau level and while theses are not thermodynamically preferred they exhibit some interesting features that could be realised for other holographic models.

description: We developed a new method for full kinematical reconstruction of the ttbar system near its threshold at future linear e+e- colliders. In the core of the method lies likelihood fitting which is designed to improve measurement accuracies of the kinematical variables that specify the final states resulting from ttbar decays. The improvement is demonstrated by applying this method to a Monte-Carlo ttbar sample generated with various experimental effects including beamstrahlung, finite acceptance and resolution of the detector system, etc. In most cases the fit brings a broad non-Gaussian distribution of a given kinematical variable to a nearly Gaussian shape, thereby justifying phenomenological analyses based on simple Gaussian smearing of parton-level momenta. The standard deviations of the resultant distributions of various kinematical variables are given in order to facilitate such phenomenological analyses. A possible application of the kinematical fitting method and its expected impact are also discussed.

description: Although the growth in direct markets suggests a significant jump in local food purchasing by households, direct marketing still only accounts for a small percentage of total food sales because conventional food supply chains account for the great majority of food dollars. Since these traditional outlets are often unable to integrate local products from small and mid-size producers, new opportunities have arisen for farmers to reach wholesale markets. But the economic question is whether these innovations can compete in terms of efficiency, since the transaction costs associated with product distribution are likely to rise if new systems do not achieve scale economies. The goal of this study is to determine what scale would be needed for a local food distributor located in Northern Colorado to be financially feasible. Since the mission of the distributor is to increase local food access for wholesale buyers and provide a market outlet for small and midsize producers; financial feasibility is a necessity but profit is not the primary goal.

description: In this work, we propose to detect the iris and periocular regions simultaneously using coarse annotations and two well-known object detectors: YOLOv2 and Faster R-CNN. We believe coarse annotations can be used in recognition systems based on the iris and periocular regions, given the much smaller engineering effort required to manually annotate the training images. We manually made coarse annotations of the iris and periocular regions (122K images from the visible (VIS) spectrum and 38K images from the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum). The iris annotations in the NIR databases were generated semi-automatically by first applying an iris segmentation CNN and then performing a manual inspection. These annotations were made for 11 well-known public databases (3 NIR and 8 VIS) designed for the iris-based recognition problem and are publicly available to the research community. Experimenting our proposal on these databases, we highlight two results. First, the Faster R-CNN + Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) model reported an Intersection over Union (IoU) higher than YOLOv2 (91.86% vs 85.30%). Second, the detection of the iris and periocular regions being performed simultaneously is as accurate as performed separately, but with a lower computational cost, i.e., two tasks were carried out at the cost of one.

description: Background and purpose — The uncemented Symax hip stem has shown early proximal ingrowth as result of the BONIT-hydroxyapatite (HA) coating and the distal DOTIZE surface treatment. We evaluated 2-year postoperative radiostereometric analysis (RSA) migration of the Symax hip stem in THA patients. We also investigated the correlation between migration at 4 weeks and clinical outcomes after 2 years. Patients and methods — Patients in a 2-year clinical follow-up single-centre RSA randomized controlled trial were randomized to 2 different cup designs. All 45 patients received a Symax hip stem. RSA migration patterns of the Symax hip stem is presented here as a single cohort. RSA examinations were performed postoperatively, but before weight-bearing, and subsequently after 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Clinical outcomes and radiographic evaluations were assessed 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Results — During the first 4 weeks, the Symax hip stem subsided, rotated into retroversion, and translated posteriorly, after which the migration ceased and the prosthesis stabilized. All clinical outcomes improved from preoperatively to 2 years. There was no clinically or statistically significant correlation between subsidence and retroversion at 4 weeks and clinical outcomes after 2 years. Interpretation — RSA evaluation of the uncemented Symax hip stem confirms that the design principles and coating properties lead to early stabilization of the stem, as early as 4 weeks postoperatively. There was no correlation between subsidence and retroversion at 4 weeks and clinical outcomes after 2 years. Based on the predictive potential of the RSA technique, we anticipate excellent long-term survival of this hip stem.

description: An Internet survey was administered (14-17 May 2010) to 1210 consumers who had active Facebook, Twitter, or blog accounts to investigate their use of social networks and their attitudes towards direct marketers who utilize these tools. Overall, 94% of participants have an active Facebook account with 33.1% believing Facebook is a “good fit” for on-farm markets and farmers’ markets pertaining to the food they sell. Relating to other advertising and promotions participants believe are a “good fit,” responses ranged from 61.7% for print advertisements (newspaper, store circulars, mail) to 15.3% for MySpace. Differences were explored between groups based on fresh fruit and vegetable and value-added processed product consumption. Participants who responded that they consumed 3 or more servings of fresh fruits and vegetables during an average day were more likely to believe that print advertising (66.0%), email (41.8%), Facebook (36.9%), and blogs (22.4%) were a “good fit” for these direct marketers compared to participants who responded that they consumed 1 to 2 servings. Based on number of servings of value-added processed products participants reported consuming, those who consumed 3 or more servings in an average day were more likely to believe Facebook (42.9%) was a good fit compared to those who consumed 1 to 2 servings (22.4%). Results can assist direct marketers and other agricultural businesses to identify social networking tools that best appeal to their target markets, components consumers feel are mandatory for a direct marketers, and what advertising and promotions these retailers should consider to disseminate farm market and on-farm market information.

Below a certain critical density, which depends monotonically on the well depth of the lattice, the Mott insulating phase is stable over the superfluid phase for low enough tunelling amplitude regardless of whether the number of bosons is or is not incommensurate with the lattice. The transition is discontinuous as the superfluid order parameter jumps from a finite value to zero at the Mott transition.

description: The purpose of the study was to assess the attitudes of high school students of the millennial generation towards academic experiences and career exploration in agribusiness using an 1890 land-grant summer residential program as a case study. The objectives were as follow: (1) to evaluate the curriculum for a summer residential food and agribusiness industries program and (2) to assess the attitudes of participants in the residential program and their plans to explore careers in food and agribusiness industries. Data were obtained from surveys issued to participants in the Food and Agribusiness Industries Summer Program during the summers of 2009 to 2011. The Likert method was used and has been widely utilized in evaluating the ‘intensity of feelings.’ Objective (1) involved the development of a curriculum which focused on five major competency areas [(#1) interpersonal characteristics, (#2) communication skills, (#3) business and economics, (#4) technical skills, and (#5) computer, quantitative, and management information] sought in new hires and future agribusiness leaders as found in Litzenberg & Schneiger (1987) and Boland & Akridge (2004). In objective (2), surveys were conducted to assess the attitudes of participants in the residential program and their plans to explore careers in the food and agribusiness industries. We summarized the findings from the survey as ‘lessons learned’ in utilizing a residential summer program as a recruitment strategy for prospective millennial students into the food and agribusiness industries. These lessons were as follow: (1) include multiple uses of technology in coursework, (2) train faculty on technological advances for classrooms, (3) convert traditional classroom setting into more virtual settings, (4) increase dialogue between agribusiness firms in person and in video/Internet formats, (5) relate technological innovations with agricultural business, (6) connect salaries with actual job titles/descriptions, (7) recruit through parents and/or trusted high school teachers/counselors, (8) nurture students’ interests in agricultural economics (agribusiness) prior to high school, (9) selection of institutions may come first, then majors by prospective students, and (10) selection of major by minority students with higher aptitudes in math, science, and business are more likely to select other traditional fields of study. Although participants’ overall satisfaction and understanding of the program were increased, their attitude towards applying to the university and selecting Agribusiness as a major only increased a ‘little bit, maybe.’

description: Background and purpose — Cemented fixation is regarded as the gold standard in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Among working-age patients, there has been controversy regarding the optimal fixation method in TKA. To address this issue, we conducted a register-based study to assess the survivorship of cemented, uncemented, hybrid, and inverse hybrid TKAs in patients aged < 65 years. Patients and methods — We used the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association data of 115,177 unconstrained TKAs performed for patients aged < 65 years with primary knee osteoarthritis over 2000–2016. Kaplan–Meier (KM) survival analysis with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and Cox multiple-regression model with adjustment for age, sex, and nation were used to compare fixation methods in relation to revision for any reason. Results — The 10-year KM survivorship of cemented TKAs was 93.6% (95% CI 93.4–93.8), uncemented 91.2% (CI 90.1–92.2), hybrid 93.0% (Cl 92.2–93.8), and inverse hybrid 96.0% (CI 94.1–98.1). In the Cox model, hybrid TKA showed decreased risk of revision after 6 years’ follow-up compared with the reference group (cemented) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.5 [CI 0.4–0.8]), while uncemented TKAs showed increased risk of revision both < 1 year (HR 1.4 [1.1–1.7]) and > 6 years’ (HR 1.3 [1.0–1.7]) follow-up compared to the reference. Interpretation — Both cemented and hybrid TKAs had 10-year survival rates exceeding 92–>93% in patients aged < 65 years. Cemented TKA, however, was used in the vast majority (89%) of the operations in the current study. As it performs reliably in the hands of many, it still deserves the status of gold standard for TKA in working-age patients.

description: The ZrSiS-type compounds are Dirac semimetals and have been attracting considerable interest in recent years due to their topological electronic properties and possible applications. In particular, gapped Dirac nodes can possess large spin Berry curvatures and thus give rise to large spin Hall effect (SHE) and spin Nernst effect (SNE), which may be used to generate pure spin current for spintronics and spin caloritronics without applied magnetic field or magnetic material. In this paper we study both SHE and SNE in ZrXY (X = Si, Ge; Y = S, Se, Te) based on \textit{ab initio} relativistic band structure calculations. Our theoretical calculations reveal that some of these compounds exhibit large intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) and spin Nernst conductivity (SNC). The calculated SHC of ZrSiTe is as large as -755 ($\hbar$/e)(S/cm). Since the electric conductivity of these Dirac semimetals are much smaller than that of platinum which has the largest intrinsic SHC of $\sim$2200 ($\hbar$/e)(S/cm), this indicates that they will have a larger spin Hall angle than that of platinum. Remarkably, we find that both the magnitude and sign of the SHE and SNE in these compounds can be significantly tuned by changing either the electric field direction or spin current direction and may also be optimized by slightly varying the Fermi level via chemical doping. Analysis of the calculated band- and $k$-resolved spin Berry curvatures show that the large SHE and SNE as well as their remarkable tunabilities originate from the presence of many slightly spin-orbit coupling-gapped Dirac nodal lines near the Fermi level in these Dirac semimetals. Our findings suggest that the ZrSiS-type compounds are promising candidates for spintronic and spin caloritronic devices, and will certainly stimulate further experiments on these Dirac semimetals.

The Generalized Uncertainty Principle, entropy bounds and black hole (non-)evaporation in a thermal bath

description: We apply the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) to the problem of maximum entropy and evaporation/absorption of energy of black holes near the Planck scale. We find within this general approach corrections to the maximum entropy, and indications for quenching of the evaporation because not only the evaporation term goes to a finite limit, but also because absorption of quanta seems to help the balance for black holes in a thermal bath. Then, residual masses around the Planck scale may be the final outcome of primordial black hole evaporation.

description: The consecutive steps of cascade decay initiated by H to tau tau can be useful for the measurement of Higgs couplings and in particular of the Higgs boson parity. In the previous papers we have found, that multi-dimensional signatures of the tau^pm to pi^pm pi^0 nu and tau^pm to 3pi^pm nu decays can be used to distinguish between scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs state. The Machine Learning techniques (ML) of binary classification, offered break-through opportunities to manage such complex multidimensional signatures. The classification between two possible CP states: scalar and pseudoscalar, is now extended to the measurement of the hypothetical mixing angle of Higgs boson parity states. The functional dependence of H to tau tau matrix element on the mixing angle is predicted by theory. The potential to determine preferred mixing angle of the Higgs boson events sample including $τ$-decays is studied using Deep Neural Network. The problem is adressed as classification or regression with the aim to determine the per-event: a) probability distribution (spin weight) of the mixing angle; b) parameters of the functional form of the spin weight; c) the most preferred mixing angle. Performance of methods are evaluated and compared. Numerical results are collected.

description: Background and purpose — Both medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKA) and high tibial osteotomies (HTO) are reliable treatments for isolated medial knee osteoarthritis. However, both may with time need conversion to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We conducted the largest nationwide registry comparison of the survival of TKA following UKA with TKA following HTO. Patients and methods — From the Danish Knee Arthroplasty Registry, aseptic conversions to TKA from UKA and TKA converted from HTO within the period of 1997–2018 were retrieved. The Kaplan–Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards regression were used to estimate the survival and hazard ratio (HR) for revision, considering confounding by indication utilizing propensity-score based inverse probability of treatment weighting (PS-IPTW). Results — PS-IPTW yielded a well-balanced pseudo-cohort (standard mean difference (SMD) < 0.1 for all covariates, except implant supplementation) of 963.8 TKAs following UKA and 1139.1 TKAs following HTO. The survival of TKA following UKA was significantly less than that of TKA following HTO with a 5-year estimated survival of 0.88 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85–0.90) and 0.94 (CI 0.93–0.96), respectively. The differences in survival corresponded to an implant-supplementation adjusted HR of 2.7 (CI 2.4–3.1) for TKA following UKA compared with TKA following HTO. Interpretation — Previous UKA more than doubled the revision risk of a subsequent TKA compared with previous HTO. This potential risk should be considered in the shared treatment decision of patients who are candidates for both UKA and HTO.

description: Using a leading-order semiclassical approximation, we calculate the third- and fourth-order virial coefficients of nonrelativistic spin-1/2 fermions in a harmonic trapping potential in arbitrary spatial dimensions, and as functions of temperature, trapping frequency and coupling strength. Our simple, analytic results for the interaction-induced changes $Δb_3$ and $Δb_4$ agree qualitatively, and in some regimes quantitatively, with previous numerical calculations for the unitary limit of three-dimensional Fermi gases.

description: The invar phenomenon (very small thermal expansion in some iron alloys or compounds) is usually explained by the thermally-induced transitions between different spin states of Fe, having different atomic volumes. We consider these processes taking into account elastic interaction between Fe atoms in different spin states. Inclusion of these interactions explains why thermal expansion may be close to zero in a broad temperature interval and thus gives rise to the invar effect.

description: We discuss the role of the axial $U(1)_A$ symmetry in the chiral phase transition using the $U(N_f)_R\times U(N_f)_L$ linear sigma model with two massless quark flavors. We expect that above a certain temperature the axial $U(1)_A$ symmetry will be effectively restored as well as $SU(N_f)_R\times SU(N_f)_L$. Then we can construct a string-like static solution the $η$ string and a kink-like classical solution the domain wall during the chiral phase transition. We give out the possible signals for detecting the domain wall in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions.

description: Fluctuating annual harvest volumes create a peak load problem in the provision of grain storage capacity. There are a number of technologies for handling and storing grain, ranging from capital intensive to labour intensive. Optimal provision of grain storage capacity can therefore be analysed in the framework of the conventional peak load pricing model. A revised version of the peak load pricing model, with specific application to investment in centralized grain storage capacity, is presented. The implications of economies of scale in the capital intensive storage technologies and of the availability of low cost options to central storage are discussed.
