description: The Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) provides a single framework for monitoring and evaluation of all EU Rural Development Programmes (RDP) in the current programming period (2007-2013). It provides continuity from previous periods and constitutes a significant simplification as regards assessment of results and impacts, while at the same time offering greater flexibility to Member States. The European Evaluation Network for Rural Development has published a Working Paper on Approaches for assessing the impacts of the Rural Development Programmes in the context of multiple intervening factors. The aim of the Working Paper is to inspire and to encourage programme evaluators, not to restrict or constrain them. From a methodological perspective, the three common socio-economic impact indicators of the CMEF (economic growth, employment creation, labour productivity) are more closely related than the four common environmental impact indicators (reversing biodiversity decline, maintenance of High Nature Value faming and forestry, improvement in water quality, contribution to combating climate change).

description: The paper investigates the CAP impacts on the EU agriculture by means of policy simulations conducted with the AGMEMOD model. To isolate the policy effects in the historical period 2000-2005, counterfactual simulations for this period are run. To simulate the response of the EU agriculture on different policy changes in the period 2006-2020, a ‘no-policy change’ baseline scenario is developed and then policy experiments are conducted such as the abolition of milk quota, the implementation of the regional payments and some budget cuts. To identify the policy effects, the policy scenarios are compared with the ‘no-policy change’ baseline.

description: The structural stability and physical properties of CrVO4 under compression were studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, optical absorption, resistivity measurements, and ab initio calculations up to 10 GPa. High-pressure X-ray diffraction and Raman measurements show that CrVO4 undergoes a phase transition from the ambient pressure orthorhombic CrVO4-type structure (Cmcm space group, phase III) to the high-pressure monoclinic CrVO4-V phase, which is isomorphic to the wolframite structure. Such a phase transition (CrVO4-type - wolframite), driven by pressure, also was previously observed in indium vanadate. The crystal structure of both phases and the pressure dependence in unit-cell parameters, Raman-active modes, resistivity, and electronic band gap, is reported. Vanadium atoms are sixth-fold coordinated in the wolframite phase, which is related to the collapse in the volume at the phase transition. Besides, we also observed drastic changes in the phonon spectrum, a drop of the band-gap, and a sharp decrease of resistivity. All the observed phenomena are explained with the help of first-principles calculations.

description: The objective of this paper is to assess empirically the impacts of further reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on the agri-food sector in Finland. To meet the objective, an econometric model for Finnish agriculture - built as a part of the AGMEMOD project - was utilised. The projection and policy simulations presented in the paper demonstrate that the model provides the basis for relatively straightforward baseline projection, and an initial framework for agricultural policy analysis. Yet, there remains substantial scope for further work on the model. In particular, the effects of big policy shocks are clearly not adequately captured by the model. The linear equations of supply together with low elasticities estimated from historical data generate simulation results, which do not in our opinion fully capture farmers’ reactions to these changes.
Weak Lensing by Large-Scale Structure with the FIRST Radio Survey

description: We present the first measurement of weak lensing by large-scale structure on 1-4 degree scales based on the FIRST Radio Survey, a quarter-sky, 20-cm survey produced with the NRAO Very Large Array (VLA). The large angular scales provide an unique measurement in the linear regime of the matter power spectrum. We use the shapelet method to estimate the shear of radio sources derived directly from the Fourier(uv) plane. With realistic simulations we verify that the method yields unbiased shear estimators. We quantify and correct for the systematic effects which can produce spurious shears, analytically and with simulations. We measure the shear correlation functions on angular scales of 0.5-40 degrees, and compute the corresponding aperture mass statistics. On 1-4 degrees scales, we find that the B-modes are consistent with zero, and detect a lensing E-mode signal significant at the 3.0 sigma level. After removing radio sources with an optical counterpart, the E-mode signal increases by 10-20%, as expected for a lensing signal derived from more distant sources. We use the E-mode measurement to constrain the mass power spectrum normalization sigma_8 and the median redshift z_m of the unidentified radio sources. We find sigma_8*(z_m/2)^(0.6) ~ 1.0 +/- 0.2, where the 1 sigma error bars include statistical errors, cosmic variance, and systematics. This is consistent with earlier determinations of sigma_8, and with our current knowledge of the redshift distribution of radio sources. Taking the prior sigma_8 = 0.9 +/- 0.1 (68%CL) from the WMAP experiment, this corresponds to z_m = 2.2 +/- 0.9 (68%CL) for radio sources without optical counterparts. Our results offer promising prospects for precision measurements of cosmic shear with future radio interferometers such as LOFAR and the SKA.

description: Government-sponsored education and training programs have the goal to enhance participants' skills so as to become more employable, productive and dependable citizens and thus alleviate poverty and decrease public dependence. While most of the literature evaluating training programs concentrates on estimating their total average treatment effect, these programs offer a variety of services to participants. Estimating the effect of these components is of importance for the design and the evaluation of labor market programs. In this paper, we employ a recent nonparametric approach to estimate bounds on the "mechanism average treatment effect" to evaluate the causal effect of attaining a high school diploma, General Education Development or vocational certificate within a training program for disadvantaged youth 16-24 (Job Corps) relative to other services pffered, on two labor outcomes: employment probability and weekly earnings. We provide these estimates for different demographic groups by race, ethnicity, gender, and two age-risk groups (youth and young adults). Our analysis depicts a positive impact of a degree attainment within the training program on employment probability and weekly earnings for the majority of its participants which in general accounts for 55 - 63 percent of the effect of the program. The heterogeneity of the key demographic subgroups is documented in the relative importance of a degree attainment and of the other services provided in Job Corps.
Continuity and change : Chen Yingzhen’s fiction and the May Fourth literary tradition
Creators: name: Yee, Cissy Sze Sze
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The separation of Mainland China and Taiwan may be seen as a tragedy in the history of modern China. Taiwan, under the fifty years' colonial rule of Japan and the authoritarian rule of the Nationalist government for over thirty years, has been cut off from China politically and culturally since 1895. Over the years, however, there have been writers in Taiwan who struggle to search for their Chinese cultural roots and attempt to break this political gap. Chen Yingzhen [Chinese Characters] (1936—), an ethnic Taiwanese writer who spent most of his lifetime in Taiwan, is one of them. This thesis analyses twenty stories written by Chen Yingzhen from 1960 to 2001. It aims at showing that Chen Yingzhen's fiction not only inherits the core spirit of the May Fourth literary tradition that emerged in Mainland China in 1917, but it also makes a creative transformation of that tradition. In other words, Chen Yingzhen's fiction reveals both a continuity and change of the May Fourth literary tradition. My analysis begins with the historical background of the May Fourth literary tradition and its transmission in Taiwan, which is followed by a brief introduction of Chen Yingzhen's background with emphasis on his pursuit of Lu Xun's literary spirit. Chapter three discusses Chen Yingzhen's "obsession with China"—the May Fourth core spirit that continues to permeate Chen Yingzhen's fiction. Chapter four examines Chen Yingzhen's attitude towards Chinese and Western culture, which marks a significant change from the May Fourth literary tradition. Chapter five is an analysis of Chen Yingzhen's formal techniques. Within the framework of realism, the writing style that dominated May Fourth literature, Chen Yingzhen makes creative changes by telling his stories in innovative ways. In this thesis, I hope to show that Chen Yingzhen's fiction fills in the cultural gap between Mainland China and Taiwan. His fiction embodies a vision that crosses the boundary of time and space, and tells us that although Taiwanese and Mainlander are divided politically, they still share the same cultural roots.

description: We have constructed models of quasi-periodic variability of X-ray emission from accreting compact objects. Assuming a general scenario of a propagation model of variability, with inverse Compton upscatering as the emission mechanism, we have considered a number of cases for the periodic modulation: modulation of the plasma heating rate, cooling rate by external soft photons, and the amplitude of the reprocessed component. We have computed various observational characteristics which can be compared to good quality data.These include Fourier-frequency resolved spectra and results of cross-correlation analysis between light-curves at different energies. Each model of modulation predicts specific observational signatures, which help in identifying the physical processes driving QPO emission in accreting sources.

description: We investigate the magnetic and magneto-optic properties of epitaxial GaN:Gd layers as a function of the external magnetic field and temperature. An unprecedented magnetic moment is observed in this diluted magnetic semiconductor. The average value of the moment per Gd atom is found to be as high as 4000 \mub as compared to its atomic moment of 8 \mub. The long-range spin-polarization of the GaN matrix by Gd is also reflected in the circular polarization of magneto-photoluminescence measurements. Moreover, the materials system is found to be ferromagnetic above room temperature in the entire concentration range under investigation (7$\times10^{15}$ to 2$\times10^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$). We propose a phenomenological model to understand the macroscopic magnetic behavior of the system. Our study reveals a close connection between the observed ferromagnetism and the colossal magnetic moment of Gd.

description: The presence of large-mass resonances in the data collected at the Large Hadron Collider would provide direct evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. A key challenge in current resonance searches at the LHC is the modelling of signal--background interference effects, which can severely distort the shape of the reconstructed invariant mass distribution relative to the case where there is no interference. Such effects are strongly dependent on the beyond the Standard Model theory that must be considered as unknown if one aims to minimise any theoretical bias on the search results. In this paper, we describe a procedure which employs a physically-motivated, model-independent template functional form that can be used to model interference effects, both for the characterisation of positive discoveries, and in the presentation of null results. We illustrate the approach with the example of a scalar resonance decaying into a pair of photons.

description: Cryogenic macro-calorimeters instrumented with NTD thermistors have been developed for several decades. The choice of the optimal bias current is crucial for a proper operation of these detectors, both in terms of energy resolution and stability. In this paper we present a set of automatic measurements and analysis procedures for the characterization and optimization of the working configuration of the NTD thermistors. The presented procedures were developed for CUORE, an array of 988 cryogenic macro-calorimeters instrumented with NTD thermistors that has been taking data since 2017. These procedures made it possible to characterize a large number of detectors in a reliable way. They are suitable enough to be used also in other large arrays of cryogenic detectors, such as CUPID.

Minimal vertex covers of random trees

description: We study minimal vertex covers of trees. Contrarily to the number $N_{vc}(A)$ of minimal vertex covers of the tree $A$, $\log N_{vc}(A)$ is a self-averaging quantity. We show that, for large sizes $n$, $\lim_{n\to +\infty} _n/n= 0.1033252\pm 10^{-7}$. The basic idea is, given a tree, to concentrate on its degenerate vertices, that is those vertices which belong to some minimal vertex cover but not to all of them. Deletion of the other vertices induces a forest of totally degenerate trees. We show that the problem reduces to the computation of the size distribution of this forest, which we perform analytically, and of the average $$ over totally degenerate trees of given size, which we perform numerically.

description: In this paper, we empirically assess how information cost, as one component of trade costs, impacts the decision of an individual firm to export. Firm-level data measuring the difficulty of obtaining information about technical regulations in the European Union (EU) and the United States is used as a proxy for information cost to evaluate reduction in firm incentives to export. Results suggest that information cost significantly reduces the likelihood of exporting to these two destinations. Negative impacts are relatively larger for a firm exporting to the United States than to the EU.

description: Scaled particle theory for a binary mixture of hard discorectangles and for a binary mixture of hard rectangles is used to predict possible liquid-crystal demixing scenarios in two dimensions. Through a bifurcation analysis from the isotropic phase, it is shown that isotropic-nematic demixing is possible in two-dimensional liquid-crystal mixtures composed of hard convex bodies. This bifurcation analysis is tested against exact calculations of the phase diagrams in the framework of the restricted-orientation two-dimensional model (Zwanzig model). Phase diagrams of a binary mixture of hard discorectangles are calculated through the parametrization of the orientational distribution functions. The results show not only isotropic-nematic, but also nematic-nematic demixing ending in a critical point, as well as an isotropic-nematic-nematic triple point for a mixture of hard disks and hard discorectangles.

description: The percolation threshold of the network model by Barabasi and Albert (BA-model) [Science 286, 509 (1999)] has thus far only been 'guessed' based on simulations and comparison with other models. Due to the still uncertain influence of correlations, the reference to other models cannot be justified. In this paper, we explicitly derive the well-known values for the BA-model. To underline the importance of a null model like that of Barabasi and Albert, we close with two basic remarks. First, we establish a connection between the abundance of scale-free networks in nature and the fact that power-law tails in the degree distribution result only from (at least asymptotically) linear preferential attachment: Only in the case of linear preferential attachment does a minimum of topological knowledge about the network suffice for the attachment process. Second, we propose a very simple and realistic extension of the BA-model that accounts for clustering. We discuss the influence of clustering on the percolation properties.

An agroecological/foodshed study of the British Columbia poultry industry’s manure management practices : a case study of the sustainable poultry farming group
Creators: name: Thomson, Marcia Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Since the beginning of the 1980s, British Columbia's poultry industry has grown rapidly and production has become concentrated in the Lower Fraser Valley region. Growth in the industry has led to a significant increase in the volume of manure waste generated. Concentration of the industry in a rapidly urbanizing area with a relatively small amount of cropland available for manure application has meant that ecologically sound manure disposal and storage has proven challenging. Recent research shows that poultry manure is the largest source of surplus manure-based nitrogen and phosphorus in the Fraser Valley. This surplus contributes to water, soil, and air pollution in the region. The industry-led Sustainable Poultry Farming Group (SPFG) has attempted to deal with the manure problem by redistributing it from areas of intensive poultry production to areas with potential nutrient deficits. Despite a decade of redistributing poultry manure within the Fraser Valley and to the Interior, the SPFG does not seem to be able to "get ahead" of the problem. The industry continues to grow and concentrate in the Fraser Valley, producing increasing volumes of manure. One of the central goals of this thesis was to articulate an interpretive framework for agri-food systems to study the SPFG's manure management strategy. The framework compares and contrasts the dominant socio-economic paradigm for sustainable agri-food systems, which is referred to in this study as Industrial Agriculture in the Global Supermarket, with an alternative vision, Agroecology and Foodshed. A substantial body of literature, and primary qualitative research conducted for this study suggests that movement away from growth-oriented, industrial agri-food systems and towards more localized agri-food systems that are designed according to Agroecological and Foodshed principles may improve prospects for sustainability. This thesis concludes that the current manure management strategy employed by the SPFG is not sustainable. It is, at best, at the very beginning stages of a transition to more sustainable manure management. From the Agroecological/Foodshed perspective the poultry industry's manure management problem is viewed as a problem inherent to our highly industrialized agri-food systems, and not simply as a waste management problem. Therefore, a long-term solution to the problem requires a shift towards an alternative strategy that incorporates ecological, social and economic dimensions of sustainability.

description: A conjoint analysis of equestrian trail characteristics (trail length, scenic views, open land, bathroom/shower facilities, restricted use, distance, and entrance fee) is conducted for the state of Kentucky. The conditional logit results show location is an important determiner of willingness to pay. In particular, scenic views and restricted use are highly valued (WTP above $20). However, increased distance from home to the trail results in a negative willingness to pay.

description: We theoretically study the electronic transport in the monolayer of dithiolated phenylene vinylene oligomeres coupled to the (111) surfaces of gold electrodes. We use non-equilibrium Green functions (NEGF) and density functional theory(DFT) implemented in the TranSIESTA package to obtain a full ab initio self-consistent description ofthe transport current through the molecular nanostructure with different electrochemical bias potentials. The calculated current-voltage characteristics (IVC) of the systems for the same contact geometry have shown a systematic decrease of the conductivity with the increased length of the molecules. We analyze the results in terms of transmission eigenchannels and find that besides the delocalization of molecular orbitals the distance between gold electrodes also determines the transport properties.

description: Food away from home (FAFH) is an important component of the demand for food and hence, the nutritional intake of adults and children in the United States. Hence, policies designed to influence nutritional outcomes should address the role of FAFH. However, most studies of the response of demand for food to policy changes have ignored the role of FAFH, which means the estimates must be biased, while those studies that have included FAFH have treated it as a single good, giving rise to potential aggregation biases. In this study we estimate a demand system including a FAFH and alcoholic beverages composite (i.e., the aggregate of the three products modeled in the second stage), along with nine food at home (FAH) products (cereals and bakery products, dairy, red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables, other foods, and nonalcoholic beverages), and a nonfood composite. We also model allocations within the FAFH and alcoholic beverages composite, treating it as the second stage of a two-stage budgeting process. We estimate the demand for two FAFH products: food from full-service restaurants and other FAFH (including food from limited-service restaurants, vending services, and employee and school cafeterias) and alcoholic beverages as a weakly separable group. Using both the first- and second-stage estimates, we approximate elasticities of demand for disaggregated FAFH products conditional on total expenditure for nonfood. We find that the demands for the two FAFH products respond differently to changes in their own-product prices, other product prices and total expenditure for all goods.

description: We present 40 fully hydrodynamical numerical simulations of the intergalactic gas that gives rise to the Ly-alpha forest. We make artificial spectra from each and measure three output parameters: the mean flux, a measure of the most common Ly-alpha line width (b-value), and the 1D power spectrum of the flux on scales from 0.01 - 0.1 s/km. We investigate how these output parameters are correlated with the input parameters that describe the simulations. These input parameters include the main cosmological parameters; and two astrophysical parameters gammah and gammahe. The parameter gammah controls the rate of ionization of H I, He I and He II while gammahe controls the rate of heating. We compare the output from the simulations to data from HIRES and UVES spectra and we give a new measurement of the flux power from these spectra at z=1.95. We find that simulations with a wide variety of sigma_8 values, from at least 0.8 - 1.1, can fit the small scale flux power and b-values when we adjust gammahe to compensate for the sigma_8 change. We can also use gammah to adjust the H I ionization rate to simultaneously match the mean flux. We derive scaling relations that give the output parameter values expected for a variety of input parameters with errors of 2% for optical depth and 1.4% for b-balues. We can break the degeneracy between gammahe and sigma_8 using large scale power or other data to fix sigma_8.

description: Diffusion tensor imaging provides increased sensitivity to microstructural tissue changes compared to conventional anatomical imaging but also presents limited specificity. To tackle this problem, the DIAMOND model subdivides the voxel content into diffusion compartments and draws from diffusion-weighted data to estimate compartmental non-central matrix-variate Gamma distribution of diffusion tensors, thereby resolving crossing fascicles while accounting for their respective heterogeneity. Alternatively, tensor-valued diffusion encoding defines new acquisition schemes tagging specific features of the intra-voxel diffusion tensor distribution directly from the outcome of the measurement. However, the impact of such schemes on estimating brain microstructural features has only been studied in a handful of parametric single-fascicle models. In this work, we derive a general Laplace transform for the non-central matrix-variate Gamma distribution, which enables the extension of DIAMOND to tensor-valued encoded data. We then evaluate this "Magic DIAMOND" model in silico and in vivo on various combinations of tensor-valued encoded data. Assessing uncertainty on parameter estimation via stratified bootstrap, we investigate both voxel-based and fixel-based metrics by carrying out multi-peak tractography. We show that our estimated metrics can be mapped along tracks robustly across regions of fiber crossing, which opens new perspectives for tractometry and microstructure mapping along specific white-matter tracts.

description: Growing attention on the developing world’s potential for export led growth has naturally flowed into the agricultural sector. I examine the effects of Malawian crop adoption on childhood health to determine the effects of transitioning to cash crops in risky food markets. Preliminary results indicate that cash crop households had higher levels of childhood stunting, which may suggest providing additional support for food crop production.

description: It is shown that the differential cross sections of the reactions $dd\to ^3He n$ and $dd\to ^3H p$ measured at c.m.s.scattering angle$θ_{cm}=60^\circ$ in the interval of the deuteron beam energy 0.5 - 1.2 GeV demonstrate the scaling behaviour,$dσ/d t\sim s^{-22}$, which follows from constituent quark counting rules. It is found also that the differential cross section of the elastic $dp\to dp$ scattering at $θ_{cm}=125^\circ-135^\circ$ follows the scaling regime $\sim s^{-16}$ at beam energies 0.5 - 5 GeV. These data are parameterized here using the Reggeon exchange.
