description: Urbanization disturbs the natural hydrologic regime by increasing impervious land area, leading to increased runoff peak and volume, urban flooding, and diffuse pollution. Such
description: changes can adversely impact local ecosystems, including the soil system. This study aims to better understand how the impact of a changed hydrological regime due to urbanization affects the health of agricultural lands on the urban fringe, specifically soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties. As a first step, I evaluated soil and water properties at selected farms in two rapidly urbanizing watersheds in South Puget Sound, USA. Soil, surface‐, and groundwater at three farms, Farm 1 (Green River watershed, King County) and Farms 2 and 3 (Puyallup River watershed, Pierce County) in western Washington State, were sampled twice (fall 2022, spring 2023) and their physiochemical and microbial properties were analyzed. Several major soil physicochemical and microbial properties exhibited significant spatial (but not temporal) variability. For example, soil texture at Farm 1 differed significantly from that at Farms 2 and 3 (P at significance level α = 0.05 as in all statistical tests in this study). Total Kjeldhal Nitrogen (TKN), Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorous (TP), and organic matter (OM) at Farm 1 were significantly lower than at Farms 2 and 3. All analyzed properties except pH did not differ significantly between the two sampling events. Soil pH ranged 4.9–6.6 at Farm 3, showing acidic conditions at certain sampling locations, with the mean differing significantly from those at Farms 1 and 2. Acidic soil conditions can limit nutrient availability and increase toxic metal solubility, adversely impacting the growth environment for plants and microorganisms. TN, TP, and dissolved copper and zinc concentrations in the groundwater samples met WA groundwater quality standards. However, TP in the Green River water samples exceeded the US EPA limit for preventing eutrophication. Farm 3 had significantly lower microbial richness than those at Farms 1 and 2, suggesting that lower pH might, among other factors, contribute to reduced bacterial richness and diversity. There was a greater similarity in microbial properties between Farms 2 and 3 (than between Farms 1 and 2 or Farms 1 and 3), possibly because these two farms were located close to each other on the Puyallup River floodplain, with the same soil texture and subject to similar impacts of urban development. Both watershed characteristics and land‐use and management practices have likely contributed to the spatial variations in, and dynamics of, soil and water conditions at the three peri‐urban farms.

description: Heusler alloys with Mn and Co have been found to exhibit interesting electronic and magnetic properties. Mn$_2$CoAl is well known SGS compound while Mn$_2$CoGa has weak half metallic character. By using plane wave pseudo-potential method, we studied the effect of Fe and Cr doping on half-metalicity and magnetism of these compounds. The doping destroys the SGS nature of Mn$_2$CoAl while the small-scale doping enhance the half-metallicity of Mn$_2$CoGa making it perfect half-metal. In case of Mn$_2$CoAl, the doping decrease the band gap while increase in band width is noticed for Mn$_2$CoGa. The half-metallicity is destroyed in both cases when the doping level is beyond certain degree. Moreover, we have also computed magnetic behavior of Mn$_2$CoZ alloys and we found that total magnetic moments of dopped samples have higher values than that of pristine compounds.

description: The aim of this article is to evaluate Italian consumers’ acceptance and willingness to purchase GM foods based on the type of benefit (input vs output trait) and product (plant based vs animal based). Two surveys were administered in two consecutive years (2004 and 2005) and the data used to test for possible changes in consumer acceptance. The results of a multinomial logit analysis suggest that on average consumer acceptance for plant-based GM food was higher in 2005. This study confirmed the key role of information strategies to consumers, with the most relevant results being the role distorted information play in raising the consumer’s level of fear and perceived risk. Respondents also place a higher level of confidence on scientists who are generally seen as independent of the industry. Consumers that usually consume and buy enhanced food products have a higher probability to buy a GM product providing an increased vitamin content.

description: Location is key to spatialize internet-of-things (IoT) data. However, it is challenging to use low-cost IoT devices for robust unsupervised localization (i.e., localization without training data that have known location labels). Thus, this paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based unsupervised wireless-localization method. The main contributions are as follows. (1) This paper proposes an approach to model a continuous wireless-localization process as a Markov decision process (MDP) and process it within a DRL framework. (2) To alleviate the challenge of obtaining rewards when using unlabeled data (e.g., daily-life crowdsourced data), this paper presents a reward-setting mechanism, which extracts robust landmark data from unlabeled wireless received signal strengths (RSS). (3) To ease requirements for model re-training when using DRL for localization, this paper uses RSS measurements together with agent location to construct DRL inputs. The proposed method was tested by using field testing data from multiple Bluetooth 5 smart ear tags in a pasture. Meanwhile, the experimental verification process reflected the advantages and challenges for using DRL in wireless localization.

Behaviour and effects of peripheral olfactory ensheathing cells transplanted at the site of acute spinal cord injury
Creators: name: Ramer, Leanne Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Mammalian olfactory neurons are replenished from a progenitor pool in the PNS and extend axons into the CNS throughout adult life. This capacity for neurits outgrowth has been attributed in part to olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), glia that fasciculate olfactory axons in both the PNS and the CNS. When transplanted at or near the site of spinal cord injury (SCI) in rodents, OECs from the olfactory bulb of rodents and humans have elicited regeneration and remyelination of damaged axons, sometimes with concomitant functional recovery. As a result, OECs have emerged as candidates for autologous transplantation to repair human SCI, and Phase I clinical trials are underway. OECs from the olfactory bulb have been isolated and examined in culture and after transplantation into animal SCI for more than a decade; however, their behaviour upon transplantation remains ambiguous, as they lack a defining molecular marker, and the mechanism of OEC-mediated repair of SCI remains debatable. More pertinent to the use of OECs in the clinic is the dearth of experiments testing the efficacy of OECs derived from the lamina propria (LP-OECs), the source of OECs for clinical autotransplantation. Here, LP-OECs were purified from GFP-expressing mice and transplanted at the site of acute dorsolateral funiculus crush in immunosuppressed rats and mice; spinal cords were examined histologically at 48h, 7d, 28d and 60d (rats) and 28 d (mice). LP-OECs had limited survival and migration in both rats and mice: after 28d, LP-OECs were confined to the lesion site in both species, and no LP-OECs were encountered in rat spinal cords after 60d. However, LP-OECs prevented cavitation and altered astrogliosis: after 28d, the lesion sites of LP-OEC transplanted animals contained many axons, as well as Schwann cells and new blood vessels, both of which might provide a scaffold for axonal growth. Serotonergic and noradrenergic bulbospinal axons exhibited robust sprouting, with a few axons regenerating across the lesion site; anterogradely-labeled rubrospinal axons did not regenerate. Thus, despite a transient presence and limited migration within host spinal tissue, LP-OECs have beneficial effects at the site of acute rodent SCI, and support growth of some supraspinal axons.

description: Decidability and synthesis of inductive invariants ranging in a given domain play an important role in many software and hardware verification systems. We consider here inductive invariants belonging to an abstract domain $A$ as defined in abstract interpretation, namely, ensuring the existence of the best approximation in $A$ of any system property. In this setting, we study the decidability of the existence of abstract inductive invariants in $A$ of transition systems and their corresponding algorithmic synthesis. Our model relies on some general results which relate the existence of abstract inductive invariants with least fixed points of best correct approximations in $A$ of the transfer functions of transition systems and their completeness properties. This approach allows us to derive decidability and synthesis results for abstract inductive invariants which are applied to the well-known Kildall's constant propagation and Karr's affine equalities abstract domains. Moreover, we show that a recent general algorithm for synthesizing inductive invariants in domains of logical formulae can be systematically derived from our results and generalized to a range of algorithms for computing abstract inductive invariants.

description: Research on plant molecular farming (PMF) is supported by public and private sectors in Canada. This may lead to benefits of new or cheaper medicines, industrial products and foods, but also be the source of appreciable risks to food safety from contamination by PMF materials, as well as potential environmental risks and costs. This study uses data from a 2005 nation-wide Canadian survey to gain insights into citizens’ perceptions of PMF benefits and risks. A series of nonparametric tests are conducted on ordinal survey data on risk and benefit assessments of respondents. PMF is not seen as a major threat to food safety or the environment, but as a moderate indirect risk. The use of PMF to produce better and cheaper medical drugs appears to have the best benefits-to-risks ratio, while using PMF to produce more nutritious and cheaper food has the least favorable ratio.

description: In this paper, we present pressure dependent structural parameters and electronic structure of ThFeAsN superconductor. There are no anomalies in the structural parameters as well as elastic constants with hydrostatic pressure which is consistent with the experiments. We study the electronic structure of this compound at different external pressures in terms of density of states, band structure and Fermi surface. Density of states at the Fermi level, coming from Fe-d orbitals follows the same trend as that of the superconducting transition temperature (T$_c$) as a function of hydrostatic pressure. We also observe a pressure induced orbital selective Lifshitz transition in ThFeAsN compound which is quite different from the Lifshitz transitions observed in the other families of Fe-based superconductors. Fermi surfaces of ThFeAsN specially hole like Fermi surfaces at $Γ$ point are altered significantly with pressure. This modification of Fermi surface topology with pressure seems to play the major role in the reduction of T$_c$ with pressure in ThFeAsN superconductor. Spin-orbit coupling does not affect the Lifshitz transition but it modifies the energy ordering of bands near $Γ$ point at higher pressure.

description: The presence of massive neutrinos in the early Universe is expected to have influenced the observed distribution of galaxies, and their observed motions. In this work, we explore whether measurements of galaxy peculiar velocities could allow us to improve upon neutrino mass constraints from galaxy redshift surveys alone. Using Fisher matrix forecasts, we show that the galaxy peculiar motions $\textit{do}$ contain information on the sum of the masses of neutrinos $\sum m_ν$, and that this information can be used to improve upon constraints that may be obtained from low-redshift galaxy surveys ($z<0.5$) combined with $\textit{Planck}$ measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background. Compared to the full constraining power offered by $\textit{Planck}$ and higher redshift DESI data, we find that the benefit of including peculiar velocities only marginally improves neutrino mass constraints. However, when one does not include information from $\textit{Planck}$, our results show that the inclusion of peculiar velocity measurements can substantially improve upon the constraints from redshift surveys alone, and that in some cases the addition of further data from high density peculiar velocity surveys is more successful at overcoming the sample variance than adding further data from redshifts only. We demonstrate that it may be possible to achieve upper bounds of $\sum m_ν \approx $0.14 eV (68% confidence limit), from upcoming spectroscopic galaxy surveys alone, as long as the peculiar velocity data is available, an improvement of $\sim$14% over redshift surveys alone, but not as strong as when CMB data is included.

description: In the light of the recent Lin, Lunin, Maldacena (LLM) results we investigate 1/2-BPS geometries in minimal (and next-to minimal) supergravity in D=6 dimensions. In the case of minimal supergravity, solutions are given by fibrations of a two-torus T^2 specified by two harmonic functions. For a rectangular torus the two functions are related by a non-linear equation with rare solutions: AdS_3x S^3, the pp-wave and the multi-center string. ``Bubbling'', i.e. superpositions of droplets, is accommodated by allowing the complex structure of the T^2 to vary over the base. The analysis is repeated in the presence of a tensor multiplet and similar conclusions are reached with generic solutions describing D1D5 (or their dual fundamental string-momentum) systems. In this framework, the profile of the dual fundamental string-momentum system is identified with the boundaries of the droplets in a two-dimensional plane.

description: Great changes have taken place in China’s agricultural and food markets in the past several decades. However, the impact of the transformation brought by modern supply chains on the welfare of farmers in China is unclear. This paper attempts to understand whether or not the recent changes in China’s food economy have contributed to an improvement in the welfare of small, poor farmer. It also seeks to identify whether or not the main marketing institutions in China’s horticultural economy are consistent with a system that can deliver food safety. To achieve our objectives, we use a data set collected in 2007 by ourselves which includes representative tomato- and cucumber-production farmers in Shandong Province. We use the information from the survey to describe the emergences of production systems and marketing structures. The data are also used to examine whether the small or large farmers (or rich or poor ones) are participating in the expanding horticultural economy, and if so through which different types of marketing channels. We also examine several indicators of producer-trader behavior to understand whether China’s horticultural marketing channels is able to guarantee a safe and traceable vegetable product. The results show that despite the dramatic evolution of the downstream segment of China’s horticultural economy, most Shandong tomato and cucumber-producing farmers are selling through traditional marketing channels. Moreover, small/poor farmers are not being excluded.

description: The fundamental mechanism of transient stability of the conventional power system can be physically understood with the rotor swing dynamics of synchronous generators (SGs). The basic factor affecting the transient stability is the power-angle relationship among the SGs. The integration of a large number of inverter-based generations (IBGs) into the power system inevitably changes the original power-angle relationship, therefore leading to a more complicated transient stability mechanism. In this letter, the impact of IBG on the power system transient stability is analytically investigated. It is shown that the connection of IBG changes the original power-angle relationship into a nonsinusoidal curve, introduces a limit on the peak of the rotor swing, and therefore brings about a new bottleneck for the transient stability.

description: The recent X-ray and CO observations of RX J1713.7-3946 show that a significant fraction of the nonthermal X-ray emission of this unique supernova remnant associates, in one way or another, with a molecular cloud interacting with the west part of the shell. This adds a new puzzle in the origin of X-ray emission which cannot be easily explained within the standard model in accordance of which X-rays are result of synchrotron radiation of multi-TeV electrons accelerated by supernova shock waves. We explore an alternative origin of the X-ray emission assuming that it is produced by secondary electrons resulting from high energy hadronic interactions in the molecular gas. Such a scenario could explain in a quite natural way the apparent correlation between the X-ray and CO morphologies. However, the TeV gamma-ray emission recently reported by H.E.S.S. significantly constrains the parameter space of this model. Namely, this mechanism cannot reproduce the bulk of the observed X-ray flux unless one postulates existence of a PeV cosmic-ray component penetrating with an unusually hard spectrum into the dense cloud.

Analyses of longitudinal and time-to-event data in a reandomized clinical trial in the presence of a lag time in the stablization of treatment
Creators: name: Yin, Eugenia Yu Hoi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) are generally considered to be the best experimental setting for assessing new medical therapies. In medical research, the evaluation of RCTs is often based on two approaches: the commonly recommended intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis, and the more controversial per-protocol (PP) approach, which respectively attempt to assess the clinical effectiveness and the efficacy of a therapy. In the presence of a variable lag time in treatment stabilization following randomization, the two approaches may differ not only in their patient inclusion and exclusion criteria, but also in their definitions of the baseline time, from which follow-up is to be measured. In this work, ITT and PP analyses are applied to the evaluation of an eye pressure lowering therapy, in data from the Collaborative Normal Tension Glaucoma Study. In this study, the therapeutic intervention consisted of achieving a 30% reduction in intra-ocular pressure, and necessitated a lag time before the lowered pressure level became stable. This thesis includes longitudinal and survival analyses, based on measurements taken on some of the main variables in this study. In this case, the PP approach defines baseline time in the treated group as the time at which treatment stabilization has been achieved. It thus loses some of the advantages of randomization, and may suffer potential bias in parameter estimation as well as diminishing statistical power in testing the treatment effect. We investigate these potential problems through some simulation work. While the ITT and the PP approaches fail to account for the delay in treatment stabilization, we also develop a multistate model for survival analysis and a piecewise linear mixed effects (LME) model for longitudinal analysis, both of which address the lag time problem in assessing the effectiveness of the therapy. Finally, we consider a baseline-adjustment approach to match the control group to the delayed treatment group for an efficacy assessment of the therapy. These methods that account for the lag time are compared to the ITT and the PP approaches, and recommendations based on their performance in our study and their general applicability are given.

description: We analyze both theoretically and experimentally the breakup of a pendant water droplet loaded with Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). The free surface minimum radius measured in the experiments is compared with that obtained from a numerical solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations for different values of the shear and dilatational surface viscosities. This comparison shows the small but measurable effect of the surface viscous stresses on the system dynamics for sufficiently small spatiotemporal distances from the breakup point, and allows to establish upper bounds for the values of the shear and dilatational viscosities. We study numerically the distribution of Marangoni and viscous stresses over the free surface as a function of the time to the pinching, and describe how surface viscous stresses grow in the pinching region as the free surface approaches its breakup. When Marangoni and surface viscosity stresses are taken into account, the surfactant is not swept away from the thread neck in the time interval analyzed. Surface viscous stresses eventually balance the driving capillary pressure in that region for small enough values of the time to pinching. Based on this result, we propose a scaling law to account for the effect of the surface viscosities on the last stage of the temporal evolution of the neck radius.

description: Tools capable of automatic code generation have the potential to augment programmer's capabilities. While straightforward code retrieval is incorporated into many IDEs, an emerging area is explicit code generation. Code generation is currently approached as a Machine Translation task, with Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based encoder-decoder architectures trained on code-description pairs. In this work we introduce and study modern Transformer architectures for this task. We further propose a new model called the Relevance Transformer that incorporates external knowledge using pseudo-relevance feedback. The Relevance Transformer biases the decoding process to be similar to existing retrieved code while enforcing diversity. We perform experiments on multiple standard benchmark datasets for code generation including Django, Hearthstone, and CoNaLa. The results show improvements over state-of-the-art methods based on BLEU evaluation. The Relevance Transformer model shows the potential of Transformer-based architectures for code generation and introduces a method of incorporating pseudo-relevance feedback during inference.

description: Tariff escalation becomes one of the major issues in the new Doha Round negotiation because it is viewed as a stumbling block to the industrialization development for the developing countries. When tariffs on products escalate with the stage of processing, the effective rate of protection, or the tariff expressed as fractions of value-added after deducting intermediate inputs from product value, also increases. Thus, tariff escalation potentially signals high rates of protection for value-added or processed products, and can inhibit international trade in these goods. The major purpose of this study is to examine the degrees of tariff escalations in Taiwan’s agriculture-related commodities and the economic consequences to reduce them. A simplified theoretical model is first established to illustrate the structural impacts and welfare implications of reducing tariff escalation. Then a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of Taiwan is applied to simulate the economy-wide impacts of three alternative reduction proposals.. The model distinguishes 160 sectors, 6 types of labor, 8 types of margins and 160 commodities compiled from the Input-Output tables of 2004. Simulation results indicate that if welfare improvement is the major policy concern, then Taiwan should favor the reduction because it improves the overall welfare of Taiwan. However, if farmers’ welfare is the major policy concern, then Taiwan should act against the reduction. In case the consensus to reduce tariff escalations has been determined, then the second-best choice would be to offer upstream industries relatively smaller tariff reduction rates than the downstream industries.

description: Programmable packet-processing devices such as programmable switches and network interface cards are becoming mainstream. These devices are configured in a domain-specific language such as P4, using a compiler to translate packet-processing programs into instructions for different targets. As networks with programmable devices become widespread, it is critical that these compilers be dependable. This paper considers the problem of finding bugs in compilers for packet processing in the context of P4-16. We introduce domain-specific techniques to induce both abnormal termination of the compiler (crash bugs) and miscompilation (semantic bugs). We apply these techniques to (1) the open-source P4 compiler (P4C) infrastructure, which serves as a common base for different P4 back ends; (2) the P4 back end for the P4 reference software switch; and (3) the P4 back end for the Barefoot Tofino switch. Across the 3 platforms, over 8 months of bug finding, our tool Gauntlet detected 96 new and distinct bugs (62 crash and 34 semantic), which we confirmed with the respective compiler developers. 54 have been fixed (31 crash and 23 semantic); the remaining have been assigned to a developer. Our bug-finding efforts also led to 6 P4 specification changes. We have open sourced Gauntlet at p4gauntlet.github.io and it now runs within P4C's continuous integration pipeline.

description: In this paper, we deal with some specific domains of applications to game theory. This is one of the major class of models in the new approaches of modelling in the economic domain. For that, we use genetic automata which allow to buid adaptive strategies for the players. We explain how the automata-based formalism proposed - matrix representation of automata with multiplicities - allows to define a semi-distance between the strategy behaviors. With that tools, we are able to generate an automatic processus to compute emergent systems of entities whose behaviors are represented by these genetic automata.
Information-geometric structure for chemical thermodynamics: An explicit construction of dual affine coordinates

description: We construct an information-geometric structure for chemical thermodynamics, applicable to a wide range of chemical reaction systems including non-ideal and open systems. For this purpose, we explicitly construct dual affine coordinate systems, which completely designate an information-geometric structure, using the extent of reactions and the affinities of reactions as coordinates on a linearly-constrained space of amounts of substances. The resulting structure induces a metric and a divergence (a function of two distributions of amounts), both expressed with chemical potentials. These quantities have been partially known for ideal-dilute solutions, but their extensions for non-ideal solutions and the complete underlying structure are novel. The constructed geometry is a generalization of dual affine coordinates for stochastic thermodynamics. For example, the metric and the divergence are generalizations of the Fisher information and the Kullback-Leibler divergence. As an application, we identify the chemical-thermodynamic analog of the Hatano-Sasa excess entropy production using our divergence.
