description: This study analyzes U.S. consumers' acceptance of genetically modified foods within the ordered-probit-model framework. The willingness to consumer three difference GM foods is modeled in terms of consumers' economic, demographic, and value attributes. Empirical results indicate that respondents' attitudes and perceptions of biotechnology and their views about various private and public institutions associated with this technology are important determinants of their acceptance of food biotechnology. We find that attitudinal variables have greater influence on the acceptance of food biotechnology than do consumers' economic and demographic attributes. We find significant difference in consumer attitudes between plant- and animal-based bioengineered food products. Compared to plant-based products, there is far less consensus on the acceptance of genetic modification in animals.

description: Most ocular drugs are formulated in the form of eye drops, which are administered via the cornea, representing the transparent window to the eye. In order to study the effects of corneal drugs, we plan to create a 3D model of the corneal cells that contains all three cell layers and integrates microfluidics. Transepithelial/Transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and cell viability will be measured in real time by integrated sensors. Finally, the project aims to provide a new proof-of-concept for determining the permeability coefficients of common ocular drugs in a fully assembled 3D cell culture chip.In this study, laminar flow dynamics in a microfluidic channel created for ocular drug screening are examined using COMSOL Multiphysics Software. The importance of shear stress simulation serves as the driving force in improving numerous biological and biomedical systems. There are two primary research questions that need to be addressed in this study:• How do the variations in flow rates affect the shear stress distribution along the microfluidic channel?• What is the correlation between shear stress magnitude and specific locations within the channel?Simulation results reveal that an optimal shear stress range of 0.01-0.1 Pa is achieved in the middle region of the channel when the flow rate is adjusted within the range of 1–10 µL/min. Shear stress is found to be strongly dependent on both a) the position within the channel and b) the applied flow rate, while shear stress, pressure, and velocity demonstrate a linear relationship with respect to the flow rate.

description: We relate two types of phase space distributions associated to eigenfunctions $ϕ_{ir_j}$ of the Laplacian on a compact hyperbolic surface $X_Γ$: (1) Wigner distributions $\int_{S^*\X} a dW_{ir_j}=< Op(a)ϕ_{ir_j}, ϕ_{ir_j}>_{L^2(\X)}$, which arise in quantum chaos. They are invariant under the wave group. (2) Patterson-Sullivan distributions $PS_{ir_j}$, which are the residues of the dynamical zeta-functions $\lcal(s; a): = \sum_γ\frac{e^{-sL_γ}}{1-e^{-L_γ}} \int_{γ_0} a$ (where the sum runs over closed geodesics) at the poles $s = {1/2} + ir_j$. They are invariant under the geodesic flow. We prove that these distributions (when suitably normalized) are asymptotically equal as $r_j \to \infty$. We also give exact relations between them. This correspondence gives a new relation between classical and quantum dynamics on a hyperbolic surface, and consequently a formulation of quantum ergodicity in terms of classical ergodic theory.

description: We study the effect of new physics on the Z-decay into b anti-b pairs in the framework of 331 models. The decay Z -> b anti-b is computed at one loop level and, using previous results, we evaluate this branching fraction in the framework of 331 models. A wide range of the space parameter of the model is considered and possible deviations from the standard model predictions are explored. From precision measurements at the Z-pole we find the allowed region for MJ3, MX at 95 % CL.

description: The generating functional for Green functions of quark currents is given in closed form to next-to-leading order in the low-energy expansion for chiral SU(3), including one-loop amplitudes with up to three meson propagators. Matrix elements and form factors for strong and nonleptonic weak processes with at most six external states can be extracted from this functional by performing three-dimensional flavour traces. To implement this procedure, a Mathematica program is provided that evaluates amplitudes with at most six external mesons, photons (real or virtual) and virtual W (semileptonic form factors). The program is illustrated with several examples that can be compared with existing calculations.

description: We study the interplay between quantum annealing parameters in embedded problems, providing both deeper insights into the physics of these devices and pragmatic recommendations to improve performance on optimization problems. We choose as our test case the class of degree-bounded minimum spanning tree problems. Through runs on a D-Wave quantum annealer, we demonstrate that pausing in a specific time window in the anneal provides improvement in the probability of success and in the time-to-solution for these problems. The time window is consistent across problem instances, and its location is within the region suggested by prior theory and seen in previous results on native problems. An approach to enable gauge transformations for problems with the qubit coupling strength $J$ in an asymmetric range is presented and shown to significantly improve performance. We also confirm that the optimal pause location exhibits a shift with the magnitude of the ferromagnetic coupling, $|J_F|$, between physical qubits representing the same logical one. We extend the theoretical picture for pausing and thermalization in quantum annealing to the embedded case. This picture, along with perturbation theory analysis, and exact numerical results on small problems, confirms that the effective pause region moves earlier in the anneal as $|J_F|$ increases. It also suggests why pausing, while still providing significant benefit, has a less pronounced effect on embedded problems.

description: In his 1973 paper, Steven Cheung discredited the "fable of the bees" by demonstrating that markets for beekeeping services exist and that they function well. Although economists heeded Cheung's lessons, policy makers did not. The honey program-the stated purpose of which was to promote the availability of pollination services-operated for almost 50 years, supporting the price of honey through a variety of mechanisms. Its effects were minor before the 1980s but then became important with annual government expenditures near $100 million for several years. Reforms of the program in the late 1980s reduced its market effects and budget costs, returning it to its original role as a minor commodity program. The 1996 Farm Bill formally eliminated the honey program, which redirected lobbying efforts toward enacting trade restrictions and obtaining annual relief through the appropriations process. We measure the historical welfare effects of the program during its various incarnations, examine its frequently stated public interest rationale-the encouragement of honeybee pollination, and interpret its history in light of economic theories of regulation.

description: Information technology project managers (IT PM) have a critical influence on IT project success while attracting and selecting the right IT PM is challenging. We followed a four-level research design and firstly developed a taxonomy as an input for a cluster analysis to identify patterns in IT PM job advertisements. Based hereon, we developed a decision support framework for IT PM recruitment. We evaluated our findings in an online survey. We identified multiple design elements for IT PM job advertisements within five perspectives and deduced five IT PM archetypes. The decision support framework uses five questions to assist IT PM recruitment. We expand the knowledge base and consider not only IT PM requirements but also benefits. Our decision support framework is the first to holistically support IT PM recruitment, supports recruitment managers in structuring job interviews, identifies potential matches between applicants and recruiters, and assists in the final selection.

description: Modern physics is based on two great concepts: general relativity theory, GRT and quantum theory, QT. However, effects faster than light are called nonlocal, and they seem to be impossible in nature and in GRT, while they occur in QT, this contrast is called EPR paradox. We solve it as follows: The curved spacetime in GRT corresponds to additionally forming vacuum. We calculate its volume, and we discover: It explains curvature of space as well as the expansion since the Big Bang. One half of that volume forms in a nonlocal manner: Thus nature and GRT are nonlocal and so no paradox remains. The formation of spacetime, however, is local. With it we combine GRT and QT: We derive the field theory, the quadrupole or spin 2 symmetry, the waves and the quanta of spacetime. These provide precise accordance to observation without any fit parameter, of course. The quanta of spacetime include the propagation and formation of vacuum. So they explain the dark energy and the time evolution of dark energy and structure, which in turn explains the discrepancy inherent to observed values of the Hubble constant H0 and of matter fluctuations ó8. The quanta of spacetime include the quanta of gravitational interaction. So they explain the graviton by its symmetry, propagation, quantization and mechanism of interaction: Quanta of spacetime form, the resulting heterogeneity generates curvature, and this causes gravitational force. So the graviton is now understood in exceptionally deep detail! The quanta of spacetime in the visible universe are traced back to one single quantum at the Big Bang. At its space, there immediately formed many quanta of zero-point energies of radiation. Altogether the complete energy and mass of the visible universe is traced back to the Big Bang. The quanta of spacetime are invariant at Lorentz transformations and at all other linear transformations. These quanta solve many fundamental problems and explain various interesting systems, including black holes. We derive all results with a smooth progression, and we summarize our findings in 15 propositions and 34 theorems.

description: Question Our observable universe ranges from the light horizon at a distance of 4.1 ∙ 10^26 m towards the Planck scale at lengths of 1.6 ∙ 10^-35 m. Corresponding bodies are galaxy clusters, our home region of galaxies Laniakea, our Milky Way, our Solar System, Earth, cities, villages, houses, ourselves and elementary particles. How do these different bodies interact? The heavenly bodies mainly interact by gravity. In contrast, most forces among bodies of everyday life are based on the electric interaction. Gravity and the electric interaction are regarded as two fundamental interactions. However, are these two interactions really fundamentally different? Discovery We discover the formation of the elementary charge based on quantum gravity. Hereby the difference between theory and experiment amounts to five millionth of a percent. Of course, we use no fit parameters. We show how classical electrodynamics and quantum electrodynamics are both based on our finding. Perspective I derived a new theory of quantum gravity. It describes physics ranging from the Planck scale towards the light horizon. With it, I discovered results in cosmology, general relativity and particle physics: In the standard model of cosmology, there are six parameters. One is independent, as it describes the time after the Big Bang. I derived the other parameters from quantum gravity, using no fit. The standard model of elementary particles essentially describes masses of particles and three fundamental interactions: electric, weak and strong interaction. Using quantum gravity, I derived the mass of the Higgs boson, which in turn causes the masses of the other particles, except neutrinos. For these, I derived the cosmological constant of neutrino masses. In this book, we apply the above findings in order to derive the formation of the elementary charge and electric interaction. So the electric charge and electric interaction are not fundamental. It will be interesting and challenging to use a theory ranging from the Planck scale towards the light horizon, in order to investigate other properties of elementary particles. Comprehensive Explanation In this book we derive all findings in a systematic, clear and smooth manner. We summarize our results by many definitions, propositions and theorems.

description: Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a leafy green vegetable that belongs to the family Amaranthus, sub-family Chenopodiaceae. It is famous for its low-calorie content and rich nutritional profile of zinc, folic acid, iron, calcium, magnesium, retinol, and ascorbic acid. In contrast, pesticide residues like imidacloprid, cypermethrin, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, and deltamethrin and antinutrients like alkaloids, phytates, tannins, and oxalates are also found in spinach, which inhibit nutrient absorption and also exert deleterious effects in humans. The present study was aimed at determining the technofunctional and nutritional characteristics and improving the consumer safety aspects of dehydrated spinach powder (SP). Spinach was processed to improve its safety characteristics using thermal and non-thermal processing techniques, including microwave heat processing, blanching, acid, and alkali soaking. Findings on the nutrient composition of raw and treated forms suggest SP developed from raw spinach as a promising source of ash (2.9%), fibers (8.19%), proteins (19.1%), Na (97.9 mg/100g), Ca (1304 mg/100g), K (234.2 mg/100g), Fe (41.1 mg/100g), and Zn (14.3 mg/100g). Microwave heating anticipated the highest decline of the content of alkaloids, oxalates, tannins, and phytates by 85, 87, 88 and 89%, respectively. Similarly, microwave heating of SP was found to be more promising in reducing the burden of pesticides such as imidacloprid, cypermethrin, bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, and deltamethrin by 86, 74, 84, 80 and 78%, respectively. Value-added unleavened flatbreads (chapatis) with 5% SP were observed to have the better color, taste, and textural attributes. The study proposes thermal processing i.e., microwave heat processing in particular as a safer approach to reduce the natural antinutrients and extrinsic toxicants of spinach to a level considerably safer for consumption.

description: For a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate in a double well, an appropriate time-dependent modulation of the trapping potential counter-acts the "self-trapping" effects of the interactions, thereby allowing tunneling between the wells. It is demonstrated numerically that this modulation can be employed for transferring the condensate from one well to the other in a controlled way. Moreover it allows the production of mesoscopic entangled states on short time scales.

description: We obtained deep 8.5'x8.5' near-infrared images within four high-redshift survey fields, measured the Ks magnitudes of 300 optically selected galaxies with spectroscopic redshift 1.820.5. We found at greater than 95% confidence that the brighter galaxies cluster more strongly. The best-fit correlation lengths for the bright and faint samples are 10+-3 and 4+-0.8 comoving Mpc/h, respectively (1sigma), although the unusual density of bright QSOs in one of our survey fields may imply that the result is not representative of the universe as a whole. Neglecting this possibility, the correlation length for the optically selected sample with Ks<20.5 agrees well with that reported for comparably bright near-IR-selected samples. The differences in correlation length between optically selected and near-IR-selected samples have been presented as evidence that the two techniques find orthogonal populations of high-redshift galaxies. Our results favor a more nuanced view.

Apart from supporting and production services, legumes can also enhance biodiversity in agroecosystems. In this dataset, we present results from vegetation surveys of 244 samplings on 32 lentil and chickpea fields of five organic farms in Tuscany, Italy. Centre and edge zones of the fields were surveyed separately. Additionally, the dataset provides a comprehensive summary of the associated management practices applied to the respective fields as well as a characterisation of the site conditions through soil texture, organic matter, local weather data during the legume growing period and the diversity of the field's landscape contexts. This additional extensive characterisation of the management system and environment allows the data to be used for a variety of multivariate analysis on biodiversity and agroecosystems.

description: Since Planck discovered quantization in 1900, the nature of quanta was a mystery. That problem is solved in this book. We derive the postulates of quantum physics from the equivalence principles, gravity and relativity, by analyzing the vacuum. We clarify various conundrums of quanta: We derive nonlocality. We find the origin of the Schrödinger equation. We find the origin of the probabilities of quanta. We find the basis of the Planck constant h. We find a generalized Schrödinger equation. We find the origin of quantum gravity. Using the concepts of space, time, gravity and vacuum, we discover how vacuum propagates at the velocity of light. We realize how that propagation causes quantization. We apply that propagation to the calculation of the density parameter ΩΛ of the vacuum of the universe. Our result is in precise accordance with observation, whereby we do not apply any fit.

description: In recent years, cold plasma (CP) has emerged as a promising preservation technology for fruit products. Several CP sources include dielectric barrier discharge, plasma jets, corona discharges, micro-discharges, glow discharges, and gliding arc discharges. However, the effects of these different types of CP on the chemical compounds of fruits and juices are not fully understood. In this review, we summarize (I) the current knowledge on the use of CP for the preservation and processing of fruits and juices; (II) the diverse types of CP sources and explore their applications within a scientific context; (III) the physicochemical transformations that take place in fruits and juices following CP treatment; and (IV) the changes observed in antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, phenolic compounds, and their bioaccessibility. Numerous studies have explored CP's influence on microbial contamination, shelf life, enzymes, and various physicochemical changes. This review uniquely centers its attention on the impact of CP on bioactive phenolic compounds, their bioaccessibility, vitamin C content, and antioxidant activity in different types of fruits and fruit juices. Additionally, this review delves into the assessment of selected sensory properties, notably color, which is an important parameter for consumer acceptance. By focusing on these particular aspects, we aim to provide a targeted and comprehensive analysis of CP's effects on essential nutritional and quality attributes of fruits and fruit juices, distinct from the broader spectrum covered in the existing literature.

description: The provision of ancillary services (AS) is subject to changes associated with the energy transition. Due to new requirements, the power supply quality, reliability, and safety must be achieved by simultaneously complying with technological, economic, and environmental constraints. To mitigate these challenges, we derive factors responsible for a successful venture of all stakeholders, referred to as critical success factors (CSFs). In a Design Science Research (DSR)-based approach, twelve specific CSFs are deduced from expert interviews with transmission-, plant-, and distribution system operators. These CSFs are evaluated in a focus group discussion with academic experts afterward. We summarize practical results and findings from failed and successful projects concerning energy trading strategies, asset portfolios, grid expansion, and communication technologies. We contribute to AS knowledge and derive recommendations for further research and practice.

Signatures of phenomena including merger-induced star formation, HII rings and galactic bars are also reported. This study demonstrates the capacity of tunable filters to measure Mg and Fe line-strengths across the face of spiral galaxies, which can ultimately reveal clues about the star formation history and chemical evolution.

description: Dynamic relationships between three classes of wheat are investigated using threshold VAR models incorporating the effects of protein availability. Changes in the stock of protein are found to generate significant impulse responses in the price of hard spring red wheat and hard red winter wheat but not soft red wheat. These impulse responses to identical changes in protein stocks are larger when the absolute deviations of protein stocks from normal levels are large. Shocks to the prices of individual classes of wheat result in complex impulse responses in the prices of the other wheats. Notably, however, a shock to the price of hard red winter wheat appears to result in little or no impluse response in the price of hard spring wheat, though, importantly, the opposite is not true.

description: CrAs is a well-known helimagnet with the double-helix structure originating from the competition between the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and antiferromagnetic exchange interaction $J$. By resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSXS), we observe the magnetic peak (0~0~$q_m$) that emerges at the helical transition with $T_S$ $\approx$ 267.5 K. Intriguingly, the helimagnetic domains significantly shrink on cooling below $\sim$255 K, opposite to the conventional thermal effect. The weakening of DMI on cooling is found to play a critical role here. It causes the helical wave vector to vary, ordered spins to rotate, and extra helimagnetic domain boundaries to form at local defects, thus leading to the anomalous shrinkage of helimagnetic domains. Our results indicate that the size of magnetic helical domains can be controlled by tuning DMI in certain helimagnets.

description: We study the influence of the polarization states of femtosecond two-color pulses ionizing gases on the emitted terahertz radiation. A local-current model and plane-wave evaluations justify the previously-reported impact on the THz energy yield and an (almost) linearly-polarized THz field when using circularly-polarized laser harmonics. For such pump pulses, the THz yield is independent on the relative phase between the two colors. When the pump pulses have same helicity, the increase in the THz yield is associated to longer ionization sequences and higher electron transverse momenta acquired in the driving field. Reversely, for two color pulses with opposite helicity, the dramatic loss of THz power comes from destructive interferences driven by the highly symmetric response of the photocurrents lined up on the third harmonic of the fundamental pulse. While our experiments confirm an increased THz yield for circularly polarized pumps of same helicity, surprisingly, the emitted THz radiation is not linearly-polarized. This effect is explained by means of comprehensive 3D numerical simulations highlighting the role of the spatial alignment and non-collinear propagation of the two colors.

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Marketing
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Marketing assistance loans are available to Montana producers of minor oilseed and pulse crops. The USDA differentiates county-level loan rates from national rates for minor oilseeds and dry peas . County-level lentil and small chickpea loan rates for all pertinent counties throughout the United States are differentiated at the multi-state, regional level from the national loan rates. Montana county-level rates for the 2003 crop year are shown in Appendix A: Figures 1 through 7 for canola, crambe, flaxseed, mustard, rapeseed, safflower, and sunflower. For each of the pulse crops-dry peas, lentils, and small chickpeas the county-level loan rates are the same in all Montana counties, as reported in Table 1. Loan deficiency payments are available on all or a portion of harvested production when posted-county prices for a loan commodity are below county-level loan rates. Similarly, marketing loan gains are available when posted-county prices are less than county loan rates at the time marketing assistance loans are settled. Mechanisms for determining loan deficiency payments and marketing loan gains are described. Mechanisms for determining posted-county prices are described including the use of differentials for each commodity. Differentials specified by the USDA, generally considered some depiction of commodity transportation and elevation costs, are shown for the 2003 crop year for all Montana counties in Appendix B, Figures 8 through 14 for canola, crambe, flaxseed, mustard, rapeseed, safflower, and sunflower.
Integration of history, aesthetics and site remediation at a contaminated ARD mine : a watershed open space plan for Britannia Beach
Creators: name: Gauthier, Bryce Jerome
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis has two intentions: 1) to examine different options for the Remediation of the former Britannia Beach Copper Mine and select a scheme for the Remediation of the site which is contaminated by more than 80 years of intensive mining activity and 2) to examine how the elements of this scheme could be organised to improve the spatial layout of the community and designed to provide opportunities for interpretation, education and an improved sense of heritage. This thesis document critiques several potential Remediation options available to deal with the Remediation of Britannia Beach and recommends the implementation of a single scheme, using a system of anaerobic wetlands as the principal element. Design factors affecting the implementation of such a system are discussed such as sizing, plant materials, layout, and land availability. A second portion of this study, the graphic component, focuses on the design of the second portion of this thesis - how the design of the chosen passive Remediation scheme could be used to improve the spatial organisation and aesthetics of the community while providing opportunities for interpretation, education and history. Copies of this document, including reduced versions of the design drawings are available at the Department of Landscape Architecture Office.
111. The distance to the Galactic centre
Creators: name: Perryman, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The distance to the Galactic centre is arguably the most fundamental distance entering treatments of our Galaxy's structure and dynamics, but it has been notoriously difficult to measure. A novel method, based on the kinematics of the bar region at the centre of the Milky Way, brings a new and fundamental approach to determining this important quantity.

description: We present compelling experimental evidence for a successful electrostatic trapping of two-dimensional dipolar excitons that results in stable formation of a well confined, high-density and spatially uniform dipolar exciton fluid. We show that, for at least half a microsecond, the exciton fluid sustains a density higher than the critical density for degeneracy if the exciton fluid temperature reaches the lattice temperature within that time. This method should allow for the study of strongly interacting bosons in two dimensions at low temperatures, and possibly lead towards the observation of quantum phase transitions of 2D interacting excitons, such as superfluidity and crystallization.

Average values of modular L-series via the relative trace formula
Creators: name: Ramakrishnan, Dinakar
name: Rogawski, Jonathan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: First we reprove, using representation theory and the relative trace formula of Jacquet, an average value result of Duke for modular L-series at the critical center. We also establish a refinement. To be precise, the L-value which appears is L(1/2, f)L(1/2,f,χ) (divided by the Petersson norm of f), and the average is over newforms f of prime level N and coefficients a_p(f), with χbeing an odd quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor -D and associated quadratic field K. For any prime p not dividing ND, the asymptotic as N goes to infinity is governed by a measure μ_p, which is the Plancherel measure at p when χ(p)=-1, but is new if χ(p)=1; as p goes to infinity both measures approach the Sato-Tate measure. A particular consequence of our refinement is that for any non-empty interval J in [-2,2], there are infinitely many primes N, which are inert in K, such that for some f of level N, a_p(f) is in J and L(1/2, f)L(1/2,f,χ) is non-zero.
Stellar evolution with rotation XIII: Predicted GRB rates at various Z

description: We present the evolution of rotation in models of massive single stars covering a wide range of masses and metallicities. These models reproduce very well observations during the early stages of the evolution (in particular WR populations and ratio between type II and type Ib,c at different metallicities, see Meynet & Maeder 2005). Our models predict the production of fast rotating black holes. Models with large initial masses or high metallicity end their life with less angular momentum in their central remnant with respect to the break-up limit for the remnant. Many WR star models satisfy the three main criteria (black hole formation, loss of hydrogen-rich envelope and enough angular momentum to form an accretion disk around the black hole) for gamma-ray bursts (GRB) production via the collapsar model (Woosley 1993). Considering all types of WR stars as GRB progenitors, there would be too many GRBs compared to observations. If we consider only WO stars (type Ic supernovae as is the case for SN2003dh/GRB030329, see Matheson et al. 2003) as GRBs progenitors, the GRBs production rates are in much better agreement with observations. WO stars are produced only at low metallicities in the present grid of models. This prediction can be tested by future observations.

description: We investigate the radiative heat transport along a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain of InSb nanoparticles. We show that in the topological non-trivial phase, the edge modes dominate the radiative heat transport despite their strong localization at the edges of the finite chain due to a long-range coupling of the first and last particle. We further discuss the scaling laws of the heat transfer with respect to the chain length for the longitudinal and transversal band- and edge modes and conclude that both type of modes obey the same scaling law.
