description: Blockchain is often presented as a technological development; however, clearly it is not only that: the `Blockchain buzz' exists in the context of current social and political developments. In this essay, we analyse blockchain technology and its social and political context from a perspective of Marxist economic theory. Since arguably the last great inflection point in society and technology was analysed by Marx in terms of labour and capital and since we seem to be experiencing a shift in the balance between these forces today, it makes sense to revisit the Marxist ideas and apply them to the current situation, to see how well they still apply and if necessary to update them for current events.

description: The paper analyses how different aspects connected with regulations can influence the consumers’ quality perception and the value that consumers attribute to the wine sector products. In particular, aspects concerning labelling and presentation of designations of origin, which, in turn, mirror different regulations of production methods, are considered. Consumers’ preference can allow enterprises to complying with more restrictive rules and sustain higher costs for differentiate their products and achieve higher quality. When choosing a product, consumers do not evaluate each single quality factor but the product as a whole, therefore the analysis has to be done with a methodology considering both the combination of all characteristics of the product, and the contribution of every factor to the creation of value for consumers. For this reason the value that consumers attribute to different characteristics is evaluated through an experimental economic analysis applying the method of the Conjoint analysis.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Experimental methods for laser-control of trapped ions have reached sufficient maturity that it is possible to set out in detail a design for a large quantum computer based on such methods, without any major omissions or uncertainties. The main features of such a design are given, with a view to identifying areas for study. The machine is based on 13000 ions moved via 20 micron vacuum channels around a chip containing 160000 electrodes and associated classical control circuits; 1000 laser beam pairs are used to manipulate the hyperfine states of the ions and drive fluorescence for readout. The computer could run a quantum algorithm requiring 10^9 logical operations on 300 logical qubits, with a physical gate rate of 1 MHz and a logical gate rate of 8 kHz, using methods for quantum gates that have already been experimentally implemented. Routes for faster operation are discussed.

description: Quasi-biennial oscillations (QBOs) are considered as a fundamental mode of solar magnetic activity at low latitudes ($\leq50^\circ$). However, the evolutionary aspect and the hemispheric distribution of solar QBOs at high latitudes ($\geq60^\circ$) are rarely studied. Here, a relatively novel time-frequency analysis technique, named the synchrosqueezed wavelet transform, is applied to extract the main components of the polar faculae in the northern and southern hemispheres for the time interval from August 1951 to December 1998. It is found as the following: (1) Apart from the 22-year Hale cycle, the 17-year extended activity cycle, and the 11-year Schwabe cycle, the QBOs have been estimated as a prominent timescale of solar magnetic activity at high latitudes; (2) the QBOs of the polar faculae are coherent in the two hemispheres, but the temporal (phase) and the spatial (amplitude) variations of solar QBOs occur unevenly on both hemispheres; and (3) for the 11-year period mode, the northern hemisphere begins three months earlier than that in the southern one. Moreover, the spatial and temporal distributions of the hemispheric QBOs differ from those of the 11-year Schwabe cycle mode in the two hemispheres. Our findings could be helpful to improve our knowledge on the physical origin of the spatial distribution of solar QBOs at high latitudes, and could also provide more constraints on solar dynamo models introduced to characterize the different components of the solar magnetic activity cycle.

description: There is a wide range of evaluation methods. On the basis of which criteria should one method be chosen? On what scientific foundations are the results of numerous evaluations based? How can reliability and empirical validity be tested? The relevance of such questions is heightened in new fields of action such as agri-environmental policy. This paper aims to demonstrate that theoretical advances on level and types of evidence (existence, causality, effectiveness) can help resolve these issues. The main evaluation methods are classified into three main categories, according to their main goal (to learn, measure, understand) and linked to the debate on types of evidence. The analysis is illustrated by comparing evaluation methods in the field of agroenvironmental policies and farm advisory services. Attention is drawn to the shortcomings of each method with respect to corroborating facts as well as existing complementarities and trade-offs between methods in terms of empirical validity.
Getting the ’right’ agreement : how international norms influence the behaviour of international mediators
Creators: name: Bluman-Schroeder, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the Post Cold War, international society has often turned to the practice of mediation to intervene in intrastate ethnic conflicts. Not surprisingly, there has been a growing interest in international relations scholarship on the subject. Within this body of literature, mediation outcome is usually the dependent variable and the independent variables have included (a) the source of conflict; (b) the requisite strategic conditions that make a given conflict 'ripe' for mediation or (c) the characteristics, strategies and resources of the mediator. As a result of this preoccupation with mediation outcome, what is under-developed is an understanding of what shapes the behaviour of mediators. In other words, this thesis makes mediator behaviour rather than mediation outcome the dependent variable. Drawing on a constructivist approach to international relations, it argues that international mediator behaviour is influenced by the social and normative context in which mediators operate. To this end, a more complete explanation recognizes the role of the professional and international norms that constitute the social context. Put another way, mediators may behave in ways that do not maximize the probability of agreement in order to seek peace settlements that meet certain international standards of appropriateness. To support this argument, this thesis attempts to develop a constructivist theoretical approach to international mediation which unpacks the identities and interests of mediators. Moreover, to provide preliminary evidence of the empirical validity of this theoretical approach, this thesis considers how international norms affected the behaviour of Lord David Owen and Richard Holbrooke, both lead international mediators in the Bosnian conflict of the early 1990s.

description: In evaluating the potential effects of the reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy, a particularly challenging issue is the representation of the complexity of rural systems either in a static or dynamic framework. In this paper we use Bayesian networks, to the best knowledge of the authors, basically ignored by the literature on rural development. The objective of this paper is to discuss the potential use of Bayesian Networks tools to represent the multiple determinants and impacts of the Common Agricultural Policies in rural areas across Europe. The analysis shows the potential use of BNs in terms of representation of the multiple linkages between different components of rural areas and farming systems, though its use as a simulation tool still requires further improvements.

Combinatorial optimization through variational quantum power method

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The power method (or iteration) is a well-known classical technique that can be used to find the dominant eigenpair of a matrix. Here, we present a variational quantum circuit method for the power iteration, which can be used to find the eigenpairs of unitary matrices and so their associated Hamiltonians. We discuss how to apply the circuit to combinatorial optimization problems formulated as a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization and discuss its complexity. In addition, we run numerical simulations for random problem instances with up to 21 parameters and observe that the method can generate solutions to the optimization problems with only a few number of iterations and the growth in the number of iterations is polynomial in the number of parameters. Therefore, the circuit can be simulated on the near term quantum computers with ease.

description: The CAP reform process has been a central issue for agricultural economics research in recent years, and is gaining further attention in view of the post-2013 perspectives. The objective of this paper is to assess ex-ante the effect of different post-2013 CAP and market scenarios on the demand of productions factors. The paper is based on the use of farm household dynamic programming models maximising the net present value with a time horizon until 2030. A representative model has been implemented for 18 different farming systems in 8 EU countries. Changes in marginal values of selected resource constraints (land, labour and capital) are used to assess the potential effect of different scenarios on farm-household demand of production factors. Results highlight that both policy and market conditions change strongly the demand of productive factors.

description: Earth-sized planets in the habitable zones of M dwarfs are good candidates for the study of habitability and detection of biosignatures. To search for these planets, we analyze all available radial velocity data and apply four signal detection criteria to select the optimal candidates. We find ten strong candidates satisfying these criteria and three weak candidates showing inconsistency over time due to data samplings. We also confirm three previous planet candidates and improve their orbital solutions through combined analyses of updated data sets. Among the strong planet candidates, HIP 38594 b is a temperate super-Earth with a mass of $8.2 \pm 1.7$ $M_\oplus$ and an orbital period of $60.7\pm0.1$ days, orbiting around an early-type M dwarf. Early-type M dwarfs are less active and thus are better hosts for habitable planets than mid-type and late-type M dwarfs. Moreover, we report the detection of five two-planet systems, including two systems made up of a warm or cold Neptune and a cold Jupiter, consistent with a positive correlation between these two types of planets. We also detect three temperate Neptunes, four cold Neptunes, and four cold Jupiters, contributing to a rarely explored planet population. Due to their proximity to the Sun, these planets on wide orbits are appropriate targets for direct imaging by future facilities such as HabEx and ELT.

First we exemplify the procedure in a supersymmetric system, D3-D7, in the extremal case. Afterwards we discuss the model dual to large-Nc QCD, D4-D6 system. In the latter case we find the field theory expected gross features of vector like theories: the spectrum resembles that of heavy quarkonia and the Chew-Frautschi plot of the singlet and first excited states is in qualitative agreement with those of lattice QCD. We stress the salient points of including different constituents masses.

description: Literature on innovation adoption mechanism has emphasised the positive effect of Single Farm Payments (SFP) and Rural Development Payments on adoption of new technologies. In this context, the expected process of CAP reforming after 2013 is likely to strengthen the role of innovation in the European Union (EU). The objective of this paper is to identify the determinants of the adoption of future innovation, in particular in connection to past innovation, and to assess the role of agricultural policy in the promotion of innovation adoption. The analysis is applied to two regions (Centre and Midi-Pyrénées) in France. Two separate Count models are developed in order to explain famers’ stated intention concerning different intensities of innovation adoption under two different policy scenarios. Preliminary results highlight that the CAP strongly affects the decision to innovate and the innovation intensity, even if there is no statistical significance for the variable connected to the amount of payments or the level of payment per hectare.

description: The inelastic scattering of electrons on weakly-bound nuclei is studied with a simple model based on the long range behavior of the bound state wavefunction and on the effective-range expansion for the continuum wavefunctions. Three mechanisms have been considered: (a) dissociation of halo nuclei by high energy electrons, (b) dissociation by electrons present in a fixed target, and (c) Coulomb dissociation. It is shown that the properties of halo nuclei can be studied in electron-radioactive beam colliders using the electro-disintegration process. A comparison with fixed-target experiments is also performed.

description: Despite the emphasis given in EU agricultural policy to the local economic benefits of a maintaining a strong agricultural sector, relatively little research has focussed on the contribution farm households make to their localities. The lack of understanding is particularly acute given ongoing changes in the agri-food chain and changes in farm structures. The paper presents findings from an analysis of the direct transactions associated with a sample of farm households drawn from two European case study areas – Podlaskie, Poland and North East Scotland, UK. The results confirm that the concept of “local” in relation to farm household transactions depends on the economic geography of the area under analysis. With the exception of off-farm work, farm households within North East Scotland study have more distant and spatially-concentrated transactions due to the consolidation of upstream and downstream agri-businesses in the region. In contrast, transactions in Podlaskie take place far closer to the holding and are more spatially dispersed. Farm size does not systematically influence input purchasing and output sales patterns in either area but farmer attachment and supply-side factors are shown to be significant influences on behaviour.

accesso aperto

description: Presentazione alla giornata di studi sull'Open Access Scienza Aperta. Open Access e Copyright nel Mondo della Ricerca, organizzata dall'Università degli Studi della Tuscia, 24 marzo 2021. L'Open Access è oggi collocato nel più ampio cappello di Open Science, importanti sono gli otto pilastri dell'OS e la tassonomia FOSTER.... La scienza aperta è definita in senso ampio come "un cambiamento sistemico nel modus operandi di fare ricerca e organizzare la scienza". In generale, il cambio di paradigma incarnato da Open Science si riferisce al rapido sviluppo di modalità interattive e collaborative di acquisizione, generazione e diffusione della conoscenza, facilitate da reti che si basano su strumenti di informazione e comunicazione moderni. Questa recente evoluzione comprende diverse tendenze e fenomeni correlati, che vanno dalla scienza dei cittadini al web 2.0. La presentazione traccia l'evoluzione dell'Open Access in questi vent'anni, dal suo sorgere fino ai nostri giorni, toccando le tappe più importanti, guardando a quanta strada si è fatta e quanta ne resta ancora da fare, anche se forse una meta nell'Open Access non c'è perché l'OA è un viaggio in continuo divenire. Come la comunicazione scientifica si modifica così si modificano strade e percorsi per raggiungere l’accesso aperto. Come la scienza evolve in un continuo lavoro di ricerca così l’accesso aperto accompagna questa evoluzione integrando attività di settori correlati. Dal sorgere del movimento OA nel lontano 1999 ad oggi, molti sono stati i risultati importanti raggiunti. Tuttora permangono criticità che richiedono attenzione, in particolare nell'interpretare le sfumature dei vari colori dell'OA: le due vie, la verde (deposito negli archivi aperti o repository) e la d'oro (pubblicazione in riviste ad accesso aperto) non sono più le sole due opzioni, ma ad oggi vi sono sfumature che segnano strade diverse come la via di bronzo o la via rossa (APC e i profitti degli oligopoli commerciali) o la nera (editoria predatoria) che è caratterizzata anche dalle cosiddette biblioteche ombra. L'analisi sulla crescita delle risorse Open Access nei vari contesti è comunque un'avanzata positiva. I repository dei territori verdi (IR, disciplinari e repository di dati di ricerca), le directories (riviste, monografie e archivi), segnano un trend in crescita. La presentazione compara brevemente modelli di archivi OA di tipo commerciale, andando a guardare anche i nuovi modelli di archivi di pre-print e la connessione con la citizen science e il giornalismo scientifico.

The one-point distribution of the limit is given in terms of a variational problem. By directly studying it, we deduce the right tail asymptotic of the distribution function. This gives a rigorous proof and extends the results obtained in [Meerson-Schmidt 2017].

description: In this paper we study the lateral instability of streamer discharges using a continuum discharge model. We observe similarities to Kelvin-Helmholz instability in fluids. In strong electric fields, lateral long wave length perturbations can grow while small wave length perturbations diminish during the discharge evolution. We perform numerical simulations and carry out asymptotic analysis of the instability. Our results could explain the growth observed in experimental discharges.

description: Point-contact (PC) investigations of the heavy-fermion (HF) superconductor PrOs4Sb12 in the temperature range between 1.5 and 4.2K and in a magnetic field up to 8T are presented. The main feature in PC spectra, the second derivative of the I-V curves, in the normal state is a peak at about 1-3mV. This low energy peak is smeared by the temperature rise and suppressed (or splitted) by a magnetic field. The origin of the peak is likely excitation of the Pr^3+ ion from the ground $Γ_1$ state to the upper $Γ_5$ state, considering the generally accepted crystalline electric field (CEF) schema in PrOs4Sb12. Absence of the visible features of other CEF transitions in the PC spectra testifies to the dominant coupling of the conducting electrons with this low-lying (about 1meV in energy) excitation. Thus, this interaction is important for ascertainment of the nature of HF and superconducting state in PrOs4Sb12.

Lemnia cincta: Crotch 1874: 149.
Lemnia circumvelata Mulsant, 1850; 387, 388 (replacement name); 1866: 255; Korschefsky 1932: 291; Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1982: 220; Ren et al. 2009: 206.
Lemnia (Phrynocaria) circumvelata: Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1984: 210.
Coelophora circumvelata: Booth & Pope 1989: 350; Poorani 2002a: 328; Kovář 2007: 614.
Diagnosis. Length: 6.00– 6.50 mm. Form almost circular, dorsum convex and glabrous. Head yellow, eyes large, narrowly separated and apically strongly divergent; pronotum yellow with a large black macula occupying most of the disc; scutellar shield black; elytra yellow, lateral margins with a black border, about 1/4th of width of elytron (Fig. 72a–c). Ventral side more or less yellowish except metaventrite and abdominal ventrite 1 medially darker. Female genitalia (Fig. 72f) and spermatheca (Fig. 72h) as illustrated. Rarely dorsum fully melanic (Fig. 72d, e) except inner ocular margins of head and anterolateral areas of pronotum yellowish, with similar genitalia (Fig. 72g).
Distribution. India: Northeastern region (Assam, Meghalaya); Nepal; The Philippines.
Notes. Coelophora circumvelata is of uncertain generic status and Poorani et al. (2021) opined that it could be a synonym of P. unicolor because it is similar to var. cinctipennis Weise, 1892 of P. unicolor. Booth & Pope (1989) designated a lectotype for C. circumvelata and Hope’s type specimen of C. circumvelata (Fig. 72a, BMNH, examined) looks like a Phrynocaria but could not be dissected. Similar variants of P. unicolor from eastern India have been examined. There is also a rare variant of P. circumusta with black lateral borders of elytra as in C. circumvelata. It is included here in Coelophora following Booth & Pope (1989) and the male genitalia illustrated by Ren et al. (2009) also appear to be characteristic of Coelophora, with the penis composed of two distinct sclerites. A female closely matching C. circumvelata (Fig. 72a–c) and an almost fully melanic variant conspecific with this (Fig. 72d, e) were examined from Assam, north-eastern India and both are illustrated here. Their genitalia also were almost identical (Fig. 72f, g). See Booth & Pope (1989) for notes on its nomenclature.

description: We present a new mesoscale model for ionic liquids based on a low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamics formulation for multicomponent charged species. The low Mach number approach eliminates sound waves from the fully compressible equations leading to a computationally efficient incompressible formulation. The model uses a Gibbs free energy functional that includes enthalpy of mixing, interfacial energy, and electrostatic contributions. These lead to a new fourth-order term in the mass equations and a reversible stress in the momentum equations. We calibrate our model using parameters for [DMPI+][F6P-], an extensively-studied room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), and numerically demonstrate the formation of mesoscopic structuring at equilibrium in two and three dimensions. In simulations with electrode boundaries the measured double layer capacitance decreases with voltage, in agreement with theoretical predictions and experimental measurements for RTILs. Finally, we present a shear electroosmosis example to demonstrate that the methodology can be used to model electrokinetic flows.

description: A preference and valuation mechanism that compared results of an experimental auction and nonhypothetical preference rankings was developed and used to elicit preferences for pomegranate products from a representative sample of shoppers in Texas. Familiarity with pomegranate products increased willingness-to-pay (WTP) for pomegranates, as did tasting and providing additional information on the health benefits of the products. Ready-to-eat and juice products were preferred to whole fruit products. Subjects did not indicate an increased WTP for Texas varieties over California Wonderful pomegranate based on auction bids but indicated a preference for one Texas variety in the nonhypothetical ranking procedure; thus, the auction results and nonhypothetical preference ranking procedures were divergent. Further, there were interaction effects of the information treatments with the product characteristics.
Creating voices : losing (my) mother and the poetic process of grief
Creators: name: Peters, Angela M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: My mother died on January 1st, 1995, when I was 28 years old. Over the last nine years I discovered my voice through poetry, exploring my grief, wording my experience. The purpose of this study was to explore the process of my grief and my transformation over the nine years since her death. The following question guided my inquiry: How do the writing and the reading of poetry both reveal and transform the self with regards to the experience of mother-loss? I used a method of autoethnography - the study of the culture of the self - as a means of voicing my personal grief, documenting my poetic journey, and reflecting on the process of grief. Specifically, I used as a model the personal loss narratives of Carolyn Ellis (1993, 1995, 1997) and her technique of emotional introspection (1991a, 1991b, 1996, 1998). Five themes emerged from a thematic analysis of my poems: Questioning and A Search for Meaning, Holding On and Letting Go, Connection, Breath and Body, and Voice. Within these five themes I discovered the following findings: that grieving is an evolving, living process that does not seem to end; that relationships with deceased loved ones can and do change and grow over time; that grief is manifested viscerally; that inherent within grief and loss is the potential for the gift of transformation; and that this potential for transformation is deeply connected with discovering a voice within grief and expressing that voice to an audience. It is my hope that by sharing my own experience and voicing my own grief, my words will encourage the voice(s) of others in the silences which surround death. I invite the voice(s) of the reader, the audience (you) to respond, to interpret, to feel (my) words in your body, in the spirit of your own words.

Jahn-Teller Distortion and Ferromagnetism in the Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors GaN:Mn

description: Using first-principles total-energy methods, we investigate Jahn-Teller distortions in III-V dilute magnetic semiconductors, GaAs:Mn and GaN:Mn in the cubic zinc blende structure. The results for an isolated Mn impurity on a Ga site show that there is no appreciable effect in GaAs, whereas, in GaN there is a Jahn-Teller effect in which the symmetry around the impurity changes from T$_{d}$ to D$_{2d}$ or to C$_{2v}$. The large effect in GaN occurs because of the localized d$^4$ character, which is further enhanced by the distortion. The lower symmetry should be detectable experimentally in cubic GaN with low Mn concentration, and should be affected by charge compensation (reductions of holes and conversion of Mn ions to d$^5$ with no Jahn-Teller effect). Jahn-Teller effect is greatly reduced because the symmetry at each Mn site is lowered due to the Mn-Mn interaction. The tendency toward ferromagnetism is found to be stronger in GaN:Mn than in GaAs:Mn and to be only slightly reduced by charge compensation.

Field Dislocation Mechanics and Phase Field Crystal models

description: A new formulation of the Phase Field Crystal model is presented that is consistent with the necessary microscopic independence between the phase field, reflecting the broken symmetry of the phase, and both mass density and elastic distortion. Although these quantities are related in equilibrium through a macroscopic equation of state, they are independent variables in the free energy, and can be independently varied in evaluating the dissipation functional that leads to the model governing equations. The equations obtained describe dislocation motion in an elastically stressed solid, and serve as an extension of the equations of plasticity to the Phase Field Crystal setting. Both finite and small deformation theories are considered, and the corresponding kinetic equations for the fields derived.

description: Starting from the Hamilton-Jacobi equation describing a classical ensemble, one may infer a quantum dynamics using the principle of maximum uncertainty. That procedure requires an appropriate measure of uncertainty: Such a measure is constructed here from physically motivated constraints. It leads to a unique single parameter extension of the classical dynamics that is equivalent to the usual linear quantum mechanics.

Temporary Singularities and Axions: an analytic solution that challenges charge conservation

description: We construct an analytic solution to Maxwell's equations that violates global charge conservation, by building on the possibilities demonstrated in [Foundations of Physics 49, 330 (2019)]. The construction is valid for a spacetime containing a temporary singularity and a Maxwellian electrodynamics containing a proposed "topological" axion field. As such, it demonstrates that although "physics breaks down" at a singularity, the physical laws on the spacetime still impose constraints on what can happen. Further, the concepts of transformation optics can be applied to show that our specific mathematical solution has a much wider applicability.
