Role of sustainability attributes and price in determining consumers' fruit perceived value
Creators: name: Medici, Marco

Publisher: name: International Journal on Food System Dynamics
Year: 2021
Subjects: carbon footprint; willingness-to-accept; interval regression; stated preference; green consumption values

description: This work analyses consumers' behaviour and attitudes toward products characterised by a reduced environmental impact in terms of carbon footprint (CF). Value perception was measured using a contingent valuation approach, asking consumers to state their willingness to accept (WTA) monetary compensation for a product exchange offer, particularly fruit characterised by a higher CF in place of fruit characterised by a lower CF. Field experiments were conducted to determine consumers WTA as well as factors affecting the choice. Consumers were hypothetically endowed with a punnet of fruit produced with innovative, low CF farming methods and were offered to exchange it with a punnet of regular fruit. Variables representing consumer fruit consumption habits, consumer attitude and concern towards the environment, and socio-demographics were chosen to represent factors that motivate consumers' value perception of environmentally-friendly fruit. The scale of green consumption values (GCVs) was used to model consumer concern towards the environment. Results showed that demographics affect the perceived value of fruit characterised by a lower CF and that consumers' preference for lower CF products is associated with fruit consumption habits and environmental concerns. At the same time, a positive relationship with CF levels needs further investigation.

description: We report the detection of short period variations in the stars HD69013 and HD96237. These stars possess large overabundances of rare earth elements and global magnetic fields, thus belong to the class of chemically peculiar Ap stars of the main sequence. Pulsations were found from analysis of high time resolution spectra obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope using a cross correlation method for wide spectral bands, from lines belonging to rare earth elements and from the H alpha core. Pulsation amplitudes reach more than 200 m/s for some lines in HD69013 with a period of 11.4 min and about 100m/s in HD96237 with periods near 13.6 min. The pulsations have also been detected in photometric observations obtained at the South African Astronomical Observatory.

description: The quantum-mechanical description of the world, including human observers, makes substantial use of entanglement. In order to understand this, we need to adopt concepts of truth, probability and time which are unfamiliar in modern scientific thought. There are two kinds of statements about the world: those made from inside the world, and those from outside. The conflict between contradictory statements which both appear to be true can be resolved by recognising that they are made in different perspectives. Probability, in an objective sense, belongs in the internal perspective, and to statements in the future tense. Such statements obey a many-valued logic, in which the truth values are identified as probabilities.

miRNA sequence analysis reveals cancer subtypes that correlate with tumour characteristics and patient outcomes
Creators: name: Lim, Emilia Lee Yian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: microRNAs (miRNAs) are small 17-25nt RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. A given miRNA may have up to several hundred gene targets, and 60% of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) have binding sites for multiple miRNAs in their 3’- untranslated regions (UTRs). miRNAs have been implicated in the regulation of numerous biological processes, including cellular growth, differentiation and apoptosis, and miRNA dysregulation has been associated with diseases including cancers. miRNAs are stable and robust in a variety of fresh and preserved human tissues, and thus are useful in disease classification and subtype identification. They have also been used to infer dysregulation of regulatory pathways. With the aims of identifying cancer subtypes and relating these to clinical covariates and studying miRNA-mediated regulation, I analyzed miRNA-seq and mRNA-seq expression profiles from diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), pediatric acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and pediatric malignant rhabdoid tumours (MRT). My analyses provided comprehensive characterization of miRNA expression profiles, revealed molecular sub-groups within cancer types, novel miRNA species, putative miRNA prognostic markers, and candidate functional miRNA:mRNA interactions. Of note, I discovered a novel miRNA (miR-10393-3p) that was preferentially expressed in DLBCL samples, and further revealed that it could target genes involved in chromatin modification. I also found that the miR-106a-363 cluster was not only significantly associated with inferior patient outcomes in pediatric AML, but may also contribute to treatment resistance by modulating the expression of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, I performed hierarchical clustering of MRT miRNA profiles together with those of 11,753 other samples representing 36 cancer types and 26 normal tissue types. This analysis demonstrated that MRT samples are most similar to cerebellum and DLBCL samples, possibly reflecting a related cell of origin as these samples. Overall, the research presented in this thesis constitutes a step forward in our understanding of miRNA dysregulation within cancer types and identifies miRNAs that could be useful prognostic markers in guiding treatment selection.

description: In this paper, we focus our attention on a particular composite index of gender equality, the Global Gender Gap Index (GGGI), highlighting problematics and weaknesses and proposing a different approach structured in four steps. The starting point of our analysis is to narrow the research to a small group of OECD countries: in this way it is possible to lower the gender analysis in a homogeneous socio-cultural framework and introduce a fifth dimension related to the time use. Next, to explore which variables have a greater impact on the gender gap persistence among these countries, we propose a different weighting method, based on the structural equation modeling (SEM). Through the study of official data, the effects of these steps on the final ranking of countries were then analyzed, allowing reflections from both the methodological and socio-cultural point of view.

description: Soft-Collinear Effective theory is used to perform threshold resummation for W and Z production at large transverse momentum to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy including matching to next-to-leading fixed-order results. The results agree very well with data from the Tevatron, and predictions are made for the high-pT spectra at the LHC. While the higher-log terms are of moderate size, their inclusion leads to a substantial reduction of the perturbative uncertainty. With these improvements, the PDF uncertainties now dominate the error on the predicted cross section.

It means that at first there forms an intermediate compound and only afterwards a usual chemical reaction is going on. The final structure of fullerenes is obtained with the help of geometric modeling and is optimized through the use of Avogadro package. In general, the fullerenes which tend to take the appearance of a perfect spheroid have lesser formation energy. The energy of nanotubes and fullerenes C44, C48, C64, C80 and C96 obtained is calculated. doi: 10.18720/MPM.4112019_6

Creators: name: Wendeln, Matthew
Publisher: name: Collectif Inventer le Grand Paris

description: La planification du Grand Paris a longtemps été liée à l'aménagement du territoire national, notamment à travers la politique dite de décentralisation industrielle, qui a encouragé l'éloignement progressif de la production manufacturière de la capitale et de sa proche banlieue. Dans les faits, la décentralisation industrielle, intervenue massivement à partir des années 1950, a résulté de logiques diverses, parfois contradictoires : des volontés de freiner la croissance du Grand Paris ou au contraire de le renforcer dans son rôle de métropole nationale et mondiale; logiques de l’État, des collectivités territoriales et des entreprises. L’article propose une synthèse des évolutions de la politique de décentralisation industrielle entre les années 1930 et les années 1970, complétée de l’étude d’un cas particulièrement emblématique : les efforts pour éloigner les usines Renault de Boulogne-Billancourt, aux portes de Paris.
Simulation, response sensitivity, and optimization of post-tensioned steel beam-column connections
Creators: name: Moradi, Saber
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: As per current seismic design codes, steel buildings are designed to prevent collapse and loss of lives. Ductile steel structures, however, remain susceptible to earthquake-induced damage. The immediate occupancy of damaged buildings may not be possible. Large permanent deformations can make buildings irreparable and consequently, demolition would be inevitable. For a city with damaged, non-serviceable buildings, the economic losses are significant. Hence, it is crucial to use new techniques to provide self-centering in buildings. A structure with self-centering capabilities can revert to its plumb position following earthquake excitations. As a means of providing self-centering in steel moment-resisting frames, post-tensioned (PT) steel beam-column connections have been proposed and experimentally studied in previous research. Post-tensioning strands are used in parallel to beams to pre-compress the beams against columns. Following an earthquake, the main structural components remain essentially elastic, while the earthquake energy is dissipated by the allocated elements or mechanisms. As a result, permanent damage in a PT frame is substantially mitigated and self-centering is provided. In this PhD dissertation, the lateral load-displacement (or drift) response of PT steel beam-column connections with top-and-seat angles is numerically examined. First, three-dimensional (3D) large-scale finite element models are developed for PT beam-column connections. The simulations are extensively validated with existing experimental results on PT steel connections. The validated simulations are then used to conduct a series of sensitivity analyses. Through a design of experiment methodology, important design parameters affecting the cyclic and monotonic response of PT connections are sequentially identified. The results provide insight into the effects of various parameters with respect to different response variables. Using a response surface method, expressions are developed for predicting response characteristics, such as stiffness, maximum load resistance and ultimate drift capacity of PT connections. Another objective of this research is to optimize the structural response characteristics of PT connections. The optimization problem aims at identifying the regions of design parameters where greater stiffness, strength, and ductility are achieved for PT connections, while minimizing the amount of steel material used in PT connections. The results reveal the factor settings that lead to the optimum conditions.

description: In October 2000, the Water Framework Directive (WFD) established a common framework for water management in Europe, thereby substantially reforming European water legislation. The Directive encourages the use of economic instruments, including water pricing, to ensure water resource management and conservation. The aim of this systematic review was to establish the state of academic research on water pricing in connection with the WFD within the agriculture sector. It emerges that the issue of water pricing is very broad, site-specific and mostly, it faces multidisciplinary issues. Researchers should cross their conventional boundaries of investigation, trying to cut edges. While the Directive advocate for a larger implementation of economic instruments such as pricing, it seems that the large contribution from the economists is yet to come.

A symmetry and mean-field analysis of the data rules out the presence of static Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, while exchange striction is shown to be negligible by our specific-heat measurements. The experimentally observed magnetoelectric coupling is in excellent agreement with the predictions of a purely electronic mechanism based on spin supercurrents.

Comparison of Luminous Intensity Distributions

description: If headlights for automobiles are put on the market, legal requirements must be complied with. Whether the oncoming traffic is dazzled by the headlights can be determined from the luminous intensity distribution curve (LID). For this, the so-called cut-off line must be determined. A declaration of conformity is only possible if the uncertainties of all sizes are considered. A measured value in the LID consists of a direction, the solid angle, and an amount, the luminous intensity. If you represent each value of the LID as a vector and interpolate the support points, you get the luminous intensity body. When comparing LIDs according to the prior art, the luminous intensities are compared in pairs for each solid angle. During a measurement, the position of the object in the measurement coordinate system is unknown, for example due to misalignment. As a result, the object coordinate system is shifted to the measurement coordinate system and a pairwise comparison is not expedient for each spatial direction. If LIDs are compared on the basis of the intrinsic properties of the LID body, the orientation of the LID can be found in the measurement coordinate system. The aim of this work is to compare two LIDs based on the intrinsic properties of the LID body.

description: The study of human dynamics has attracted much interest from many fields recently. In this paper, the fractal characteristic of human behaviors is investigated from the perspective of time series constructed with the amount of library loans. The Hurst exponents and length of non-periodic cycles calculated through Rescaled Range Analysis indicate that the time series of human behaviors is fractal with long-range correlation. Then the time series are converted to complex networks by visibility graph algorithm. The topological properties of the networks, such as scale-free property, small-world effect and hierarchical structure imply that close relationships exist between the amounts of repetitious actions performed by people during certain periods of time, especially for some important days. Finally, the networks obtained are verified to be not fractal and self-similar using box-counting method. Our work implies the intrinsic regularity shown in human collective repetitious behaviors.

description: Rapid growth in dairy consumption and food scandals in India in the 2000s increased awareness of food safety issues among consumers and policymakers. This led to the introduction of new standards. However, there is little information about how they affected farm-level activities and whether value chains played any role. Our paper addresses these questions using a two-round panel survey of dairy farms in Punjab and Andhra Pradesh. We find significant improvements in adoption of farm-level hygienic practices, especially in Punjab. Value chain innovations do not play a significant role in stimulating safety and quality improvements among dairy smallholders in India.

description: Realism defined in EPR paper as “In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality.” Bell showed that there is a forbidden triangle (Realism, Quantum Statistics, and Locality), and we are only allowed to pick two out of three. In this thesis, we investigate other inequalities and no-go theorems that we face. We also discuss possible Hidden Variable Models that are tailored to be consistent with Quantum Mechanics and the specific no-go theorems. In the special case of the Leggett Inequality the proposed hidden variable is novel in the sense that the hidden variable is in the measurement device rather than the wave-function.

description: Abstract:
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.

description: Many characteristics of Silicon Photomultipliers can be tuned with temperature and operation voltage. We present preliminary results of a study of the effect of these two operation parameters on the time resolution of large active area Multi-Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs) manufactured by Hamamatsu. Measurements at -10 C, 0 C, and 10 C at different bias voltages were performed. The time resolution is best at low temperature and high over-voltage. Most significant improvements can be achieved in cases with low number of fired pixels (<10 pixels). Between the worst and best case among the considered conditions a factor of 5 improvement was observed. In cases with large number of fired pixels (>40 pixels) the effect of temperature and operation voltage becomes smaller. The timing performance still improves with decreasing temperature (~ factor of 2) but it hardly depends on the operation voltage. The study shows, that especially in applications where only few photons are available for detection a careful optimization of temperature and operation voltage are advisable to obtain optimum timing results with the MPPC.

The ecology and genetics of adaptation and speciation in dune sunflowers
Creators: name: Ostevik, Katherine Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: We can learn about the factors that promote and constrain speciation by comparing multiple instances of the evolution of reproductive isolation. It is particularly useful to compare systems with similar environmental transitions because natural selection is likely responsible for any evolutionary patterns that are consistently associated with ecological variation. In this thesis, I examine two cases of putatively similar recent or incipient ecological speciation in the sunflower genus Helianthus. In each case, the divergence observed between geographically adjacent populations is associated with adaptation to sand dunes. In my first study, I comprehensively test for reproductive isolation between dune and non-dune ecotypes of H. petiolaris. Despite their recent divergence, I find that multiple reproductive barriers separate them, including post-pollination assortative mating in the form of pollen competition. In addition, I find that a striking difference in seed size between the ecotypes is a consequence of divergent natural selection, and that it leads to strong and extrinsic reproductive isolation via selection against immigrants and hybrids. I then broaden my study to include the dune endemic, H. neglectus, which is sister to typical H. petiolaris. I look for chromosomal rearrangements between H. neglectus and H. petiolaris, and find almost as many large translocations between them as between more distantly related sunflowers. Finally, I discover that larger seeds are associated with dune environments in both systems and that the genetic basis of that phenotypic evolution is partiality repeated. Taken together, these results suggest that dune adaption within H. petiolaris and between H. petiolaris and H. neglectus has similar consequences. However, it remains to be seen whether assortative mating and chromosomal evolution are unique to the evolution of dune H. petiolaris and H. neglectus, respectively. Ultimately, understanding the similarities and differences between these systems will help answer the question - how predictable is speciation?

description: We perform an econometric analysis of the gambling market in Italy over the recession (2009-2012), observing the consumption patterns in "luck" and "skill" games. We find a different effect between the early and late period of the crisis. Whereas gambling initially behaves as normal good,
in the long run luck games increase with the worsening of economic conditions. Moreover, skill games are more persistent and influence luck games, but not the opposite. Skill players choose simple lottery games, but luck players cannot handle complex games. Our results provide insights
on investment choices in financial markets among expert and naïve buyers.

description: Modern research in the field of transfer of scientific and technical innovations is impossible without the appropriate analytical apparatus. Construction of polynomial trends do not always have a sufficient degree of probability of approximation, there is a need for additional analytical tools that will build an alternative forecast trend for different arrays of indicators related to the development of innovation and technology transfer in the Ukrainian industrial sector. An alternative method is to determine the trend by the ARIMA method.

description: In the last few years the problem of ecological products in Ukraine became one of most essential. Effective and stable development of economy depends on producing of competitive products. This index characterizes not only separate enterprises but also economy of country on the whole. The inevitable process of globalization does not walk around a side and Ukraine that by the member of WTO. Due to the prelude of World Organization of Trade, Ukraine scored advantages in relation to the receipt of the mode of most assistance in trade space of all countries-members of WTO, id est simultaneous improvement of term-of-trades from more than by 150 countries. But also today the competitiveness of the Ukrainian products remains at very low level, not having regard to enormous export potential of many industries of Ukrainian economies. Therefore the research theme sanctified to the question of reorientation agrarian to he sector on the environmentally friendly vector of development in the conditions of competition environment and consequently and increase of competitiveness of the Ukrainian products at the market, is actual and timely.

description: Since their discovery nearly a decade ago, plutonium-based superconductors have attracted considerable interest, which is now heightened by the latest discovery of superconductivity in PuCoIn5. In the framework of density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) together with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), we present a comparative study of the electronic structure of PuCoIn5 with the related material, PuCoGa5. Overall, a similar GGA-based electronic structure, including the density of states, energy dispersion, and Fermi surface topology, was found for both compounds. The GGA Pu 5f band was narrower in PuCoIn5 than in PuCoGa5, resulting in an effective reduction of Kondo screening in the former system, as also shown by DMFT calculations. This phenomenon is due to the expanded lattice for PuCoIn5.

description: The complex-rotated hyperspherical adiabatic method is used to study the decay of low-lying $^9$Be and $^9$B resonances into $α$, $α$ and $n$ or $p$. We consider six low-lying resonances of $^9$Be ($1/2^\pm$, $3/2^\pm$ and $5/2^\pm$) and one resonance of $^9$B ($5/2^-$) to compare with. The properties of the resonances at large distances are decisive for the momentum distributions of the three decaying fragments. Systematic detailed energy correlations of Dalitz plots are presented.

description: In this contribution we have considered fusion reaction of carbon clusters obtained from the natural blocks of sumanene. We obtained four natural isomers of fullerene C60. Together with the fifth natural isomer found elsewhere through the use of the Endo-Kroto mechanism (dimer embedding model), now we have the structure of all the experimentally observed isomers of fullerene C60. One isomer is a perfect, the other are imperfect and differ in the number of pairs of two adjacent pentagons. doi: 10.18720/MPM.4112019_7

description: Objective
To evaluate, under replicable, blinded and standardised conditions, the effect of acute exposure to hypobaric hypoxia (HH) (equivalent to 200 or 3000 or 5000 m above sea level (asl)) on selected cognitive domains and physiological parameters in personnel of helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS).
Methods
We conducted a randomized clinical trial using a single-blind crossover design in an environmental chamber (terraXcube) to induce HH in 48 HEMS personnel. Participants performed cognitive tests (CT) before the ascent, after 5 min at altitude, and after simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (SCR). CT evaluated: sustained attention using the psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) that included measurement of reaction time (RT); risky decision making using the balloon analogue risk task (BART), and attention and speed of processing using the digit symbol substitution test (DSST). CT performance was subjectively rated with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Physiological data were recorded with a physiological monitoring system. Data were analysed using a linear mixed model and correlation analysis.
Results
Mean reaction time was significantly slower (p = 0.002) at HH (5000 m asl), but there were no independent effects of HH on the other parameters of the PVT, BART or DSST. Participants did not detect subjectively the slower RT at altitude since VAS performance results showed a positive correlation with mean RT (p = 0.009). DSST results significantly improved (p = 0.001) after SCR.
Conclusion
Acute exposure of HEMS personnel to HH induced a slower RT but no changes in any other investigated measures of cognition. The reduced RT was not detected subjectively by the participants. Trial number 3489044136, ClinicalTrials.gov trial registration.
