description: The nature of the cooperative is viewed as a composite picture of three facets: (1) the unique structure, organization, governance, equity financing, and operation of cooperatives; (2) the market performance of cooperatives; and (3) the relations of cooperatives to other market participants through their roles in transaction governance. The third facet is the focus of this study, through the lens of transaction cost economics. The results complement the first two facets to present a clearer picture of the nature of the cooperative. Cooperatives adapt to transaction governance structures for economizing on transaction costs, just as other types of businesses do. The unique nature of the cooperative is also reaffirmed. Dairy cooperatives are used as an example. Other kinds of cooperatives are briefly assessed as “variations on a theme.”

description: In December of 2017, the Craft Beverage and Modernization Tax Reform Act (CBMTRA) initially lowered Federal beer excise taxes for a period of two years. At the end of 2019, Congress extended the legislation through December 31, 2020. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Act of 2020 made the reduction permanent. The intent of the CBMTRA was to encourage investment in the craft (micro) brewing industry. We evaluate the ramifications of the CBMTRA on producers, consumers, and tax receipts, as well as quantify potential differential effects between the micro, regional, and macro brewing sectors. We also quantify the impact of excise tax reductions on input suppliers including barley, labor, non-labor, and equity capital providers. Although the per barrel excise tax reduction was supposed to primarily support the micro brewing sector, we find that the CBMTRA actually provided a larger benefit to the regional and macro brewing sectors.

description: Dairy cooperatives continued to dominate the milk industry at the first-handler level during 2000-10. The number of dairy cooperatives shrunk by a net of 60 cooperatives during 2000-10. Of the 83 cooperatives that exited, 49 were sold or otherwise went out of operation, 30 had merged with another cooperative, and 4 no longer had producer milk. Twenty-three new cooperatives formed during 2000-10. There were eight more cooperatives with diversified operations, mostly due to existing cooperatives expanding the scope of their operations. There were few fluid processing cooperatives in both 2000 and 2010, even with a net decline of just one cooperative. Niche marketing cooperatives were the most dynamic among the manufacturing/processing cooperatives with many entries, exits, and operational changes. The number of bargaining-only cooperatives continued to far out-number the other operating types of dairy cooperatives, despite declining by a net 49 cooperatives during 2000-10. Small cooperatives (those handling less than 50 million pounds of milk per year) no longer represented a majority of the Nation’s dairy cooperatives. The North Atlantic region continued to have the most dairy cooperatives headquartered there, though a majority of these were small cooperatives.

description: We consider superfluid hydrodynamics of two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates. Interpreting the curvature of the macroscopic condensate wavefunction as an effective gravity in such a superfluid universe, we argue for a superfluid equivalence principle---that the gravitational mass of a quantised vortex should be equal to the inertial vortex mass. In this model, gravity and electromagnetism have the same origin and are emergent properties of the superfluid universe, which itself emerges from the underlying collective structure of more elementary particles, such as atoms. The Bose-Einstein condensate is identified as the elusive dark matter of the superfluid universe with vortices and phonons, respectively, corresponding to massive charged particles and massless photons. Implications of this cosmological picture of superfluids to the physics of dense vortex matter are considered.

description: Agricultural cooperatives participate in joint ventures or establish subsidiaries to accomplish various objectives, such as scale efficiency, to improve market access, or to share capacity and expertise. The limited liability company (LLC) is the form of business organization most frequently used by cooperatives to establish joint ventures and wholly-owned subsidiaries. Cooperatives participate in joint ventures with other cooperatives and non-cooperatives. Cooperative ventures are related to, or value-added extensions of, their core businesses.

description: From the low-energy effective theory of dilatons, consistent with the scale anomaly, we calculate the $2\to2$ scattering amplitudes of dilatons. We find that the one-loop amplitude violates the unitarity bound as the scattering energy approaches the cutoff of the effective theory, $\sqrt{s}=\sqrt{4π} f_D$. We then show that the inclusion of the next-to-lightest state, namely the spin-2 state, of mass around the cutoff improves the unitarity. The unitarity argument suggests that the mass ratio of the dilaton and the spin-2 state is proportional to the square of the Miransky-BKT scaling of the near conformal dynamics.

description: Let k be a field, n a positive integer, X a generic nxn matrix over k (i.e., a matrix (x_{ij}) of n^2 independent indeterminates over the polynomial ring k[x_{ij}]), and adj(X) its classical adjoint. It is shown that if char k=0 and n is odd, then adj(X) is not the product of two noninvertible nxn matrices over k[x_{ij}]. If n is even and >2, a restricted class of nontrivial factorizations occur. The nonzero-characteristic case remains open. The operation adj on matrices arises from the (n-1)st exterior power functor on modules; the same question can be posed for matrix operations arising from other functors.

description: Solar filament oscillations have been known for decades. Now thanks to the new capabilities of the new telescopes, these periodic motions are routinely observed. Oscillations in filaments show key aspects of their structure. A systematic study of filament oscillations over the solar cycle can shed light on the evolution of the prominences. This work is a proof of concept that aims to automatically detect and parameterise such oscillations using H$α$ data from the GONG network of telescopes. The proposed technique studies the periodic fluctuations of every pixel of the H$α$ data cubes. Using the FFT we compute the power spectral density (PSD). We define a criterion to consider whether it is a real oscillation or whether it is a spurious fluctuation. This consists in considering that the peak in the PSD must be greater than several times the background noise with a confidence level of 95\%. The background noise is well fitted to a combination of red and white noise. We applied the method to several observations already reported in the literature to determine its reliability. We also applied the method to a test case, which is a data set in which the oscillations of the filaments were not known a priori. The method shows that there are areas in the filaments with PSD above the threshold value. The periodicities obtained are in general agreement with the values obtained by other methods. In the test case, the method detects oscillations in several filaments. We conclude that the proposed spectral technique is a powerful tool to automatically detect oscillations in prominences using H$α$ data.

Corporate-level issues concerning how well the cooperative is run and items affecting members’ pay prices are strong forces in member satisfaction.
Statistical Economics on Multi-Variable Layered Networks

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We propose a Statistical-Mechanics inspired framework for modeling economic systems. Each agent composing the economic system is characterized by a few variables of distinct nature (e.g. saving ratio, expectations, etc.). The agents interact locally by their individual variables: for example, people working in the same office may influence their peers' expectations (optimism/pessimism are contagious), while people living in the same neighborhood may influence their peers' saving patterns (stinginess/largeness are contagious). Thus, for each type of variable there exists a different underlying social network, which we refer to as a ``layer''. Each layer connects the same set of agents by a different set of links defining a different topology. In different layers, the nature of the variables and their dynamics may be different (Ising, Heisenberg, matrix models, etc). The different variables belonging to the same agent interact (the level of optimism of an agent may influence its saving level), thus coupling the various layers. We present a simple instance of such a network, where a one-dimensional Ising chain (representing the interaction between the optimist-pessimist expectations) is coupled through a random site-to-site mapping to a one-dimensional generalized Blume-Capel chain (representing the dynamics of the agents' saving ratios). In the absence of coupling between the layers, the one-dimensional systems describing respectively the expectations and the saving ratios do not feature any ordered phase (herding). Yet, such a herding phase emerges in the coupled system, highlighting the non-trivial nature of the present framework.

title: The Degradation Of Soil Applied Nematicides Used For The Control Of The Potato Cyst Nematodes Globodera rostochiensis And G. pallida
Creators: name: Ambrose, Emma Louise
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: The persistence of oxamyl and the control of potato cyst nematodes (PCN), was studied at 10 sites where Vydate was applied at commercial rates. Soil and plant samples were taken at weekly intervals for 13 weeks. Oxamyl concentrations were assessed using HPLC and potato roots stained with acid fuschin to determine invasion. Oxamyl was degraded significantly faster at one site, with a complete breakdown of the chemical 21 days after application. This was correlated with warm temperatures, moist soils and a high pH of 7.0. At 4 sites PCN invasion was observed 42 days after application, however at the other sites invasion began within 21 days. No correlation between oxamyl concentrations and control was found, however a relationship to the development of the potato was observed, with earlier invasion in faster developing plants.

 At 4 sites oxamyl degraded at significantly similar rates in both thé laboratory and field. These sites had shorter half-lives of 14-25 days compared to 36-42 days at the other sites. This suggested that microbial degraders were able to remain sufficiently active in stored soils, however with the other sites activity was suppressed. Soils were taken from the field before oxamyl application, and 13 weeks and 6 months after application. At six sites degradation rates increased after a second treatment, however at 4 sites no significant increase in the rate of breakdown occurred.

 Total aldicarb residues degraded quicker in aldicarb treated sods, however both aldicarb and oxamyl degraded at accelerated rates in oxamyl treated and untreated soils. This was related to increased hydrolyis at the higher pH of 6.1 in the untreated soil compared to 4.7 in the treated soils. Oxamyl degraded at similar rates in the aldicarb treated and untreated soils suggesting the breakdown was by abiotic transformations of the chemical rather than microbial degradation.

description: All approaches currently used to study finite baryon density lattice QCD suffer from uncontrolled systematic uncertainties in addition to the well-known sign problem. We formulate and test an algorithm, sign reweighting, that works directly at finite $μ= μ_B/3$ and is yet free from any such uncontrolled systematics. With this algorithm the {\em only} problem is the sign problem itself. This approach involves the generation of configurations with the positive fermionic weight $|{\rm Re\; det} D(μ)|$ where $D(μ)$ is the Dirac matrix and the signs ${\rm sign} \; ( {\rm Re\; det} D(μ) ) = \pm 1$ are handled by a discrete reweighting. Hence there are only two sectors, $+1$ and $-1$ and as long as the average $\langle\pm 1\rangle \neq 0$ (with respect to the positive weight) this discrete reweighting by the signs carries no overlap problem and the results are reliable. The approach is tested on $N_t = 4$ lattices with $2+1$ flavors and physical quark masses using the unimproved staggered discretization. By measuring the Fisher (sometimes also called Lee-Yang) zeros in the bare coupling on spatial lattices $L/a = 8, 10, 12$ we conclude that the cross-over present at $μ= 0$ becomes stronger at $μ> 0$ and is consistent with a true phase transition at around $μ_B/T \sim 2.4$.

description: It is generally taken to be established that no local hidden-variable theory is possible. That conclusion applies if our world is a thread, where a thread is a world where particles follow trajectories, as in Pilot-Wave theory. But if our world is taken to be a set of threads locality can be recovered. Our world can be described by a many-threads theory, as defined by Jeffrey Barrett in the opening quote. Particles do not follow trajectories because a particle in our world is a set of elemental particles following different trajectories, each in a thread. The so-called elements of a superposition are construed as subsets in such a way that a particle in our world only has definite position if all its set-theoretic elements are at corresponding positions in each thread. Wave function becomes a three-dimensional density distribution of a particle's subset measures, the stuff of an electron probability cloud. Current Pilot-Wave theory provides a non-relativistic dynamics for the elemental particles, approximated by Many Interacting Worlds theory. EPR-Bell non-locality does not apply because the relevant measurement outcomes in the absolute elsewhere of an observer are always in superposition.

The Yamada model for a self-pulsing laser: bifurcation structure for non-identical decay times of gain and absorber

description: We consider self-pulsing in lasers with a gain section and an absorber section via a mechanism known as Q-switching, as described mathematically by the Yamada ordinary differential equation model for the gain, the absorber and the laser intensity. More specifically, we are interested in the case that gain and absorber decay on different time scales. We present the overall bifurcation structure by showing how the two-parameter bifurcation diagram in the plane of pump strength versus decay rate of the gain changes with the ratio between the two decay rates. In total, there are ten cases BI to BX of qualitatively different two-parameter bifurcation diagrams, which we present with an explanation of the transitions between them. Moroever, we show for each of the associated eleven cases of structurally stable phase portraits (in open regions of the parameter space) a three-dimensional representation of the organisation of phase space by the two-dimensional manifolds of saddle equilibria and saddle periodic orbits. The overall bifurcation structure constitutes a comprehensive picture of the exact nature of the observable dynamics, including multi-stability and excitability, which we expect to be of relevance for experimental work on Q-switching lasers with different kinds of saturable absorbers.

I focus on the analysis of the symmetries of $κ$-Minkowski noncommutative space-time, described in terms of a Weyl map. The commutative space-time notion of Lie-algebra symmetries must be replaced by the one of Hopf-algebra symmetries. However, in the Hopf algebra sense, it is possible to construct an action in $κ$-Minkowski which is invariant under a 10-generators Poincaré-like symmetry algebra.

description: The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is an experimental project designed to determine the neutrino mass ordering and probe the fundamental properties of the neutrino oscillations. The JUNO central detector is a spherical liquid scintillator detector with a diameter of 35.4 m and equipped with approximately 18,000 20-inch PMTs. A trigger threshold of 0.5 MeV can be easily achieved by using a common multiplicity trigger and can meet the requirements for measuring neutrino mass ordering. However, it is essential to further reduce the trigger threshold for detecting solar neutrinos and supernova neutrinos. A sophisticated trigger scheme is proposed to achieve a low energy threshold by reducing the level of low energy radioactivity and dark noise coincidence. With the new trigger scheme, the events rate of the central detector from different types of sources have been carefully studied by using a detailed detector simulation. It shows that the trigger threshold can be reduced to 0.2 MeV, or even 0.1 MeV, if the concentration of $^{14}$C in liquid scintillator can be well controlled.

description: When surface-active molecules are released at a liquid interface, their spreading dynamics is controlled by Marangoni flows. Though such Marangoni spreading was investigated in different limits, exact solutions remain very few. Here we consider the spreading of an insoluble surfactant along the interface of a deep fluid layer. For two-dimensional Stokes flows, it was recently shown that the non-linear transport problem can be exactly mapped to a complex Burgers equation [Crowdy, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 81, 2526 (2021)]. We first present a very simple derivation of this equation. We then provide fully explicit solutions and find that varying the initial surfactant distribution - pulse, hole, or periodic - results in distinct spreading behaviors. By obtaining the fundamental solution, we also discuss the influence of surface diffusion. We identify situations where spreading can be described as an effective diffusion process but observe that this approximation is not generally valid. Finally, the case of a three-dimensional flow with axial symmetry is briefly considered. Our findings should provide reference solutions for Marangoni spreading, that may be tested experimentally with fluorescent or photoswitchable surfactants.

description: Recent advances in twistronics of low-dimensional materials, such as bilayer graphene and transition-metal dichalcogenides, have enabled a plethora of unusual phenomena associated with moiré physics. However, several of these effects require demanding manipulation of superlattices at the atomic scale, such as the careful control of rotation angle between two closely spaced atomic lattices. Here, we study moiré hyperbolic plasmons in pairs of hyperbolic metasurfaces (HMTSs), unveiling analogous phenomena at the mesoscopic scale. HMTSs are known to support confined surface waves collimated towards specific directions determined by the metasurface dispersion. By rotating two evanescently coupled HMTSs with respect to one another, we unveil rich dispersion engineering, topological transitions at magic angles, broadband field canalization, and plasmon spin-Hall phenomena. These findings open remarkable opportunities to advance metasurface optics, enriching it with moiré physics and twistronic concepts.

description: Dense environments have an impact on the star formation rate of galaxies. As stars form from molecular gas, looking at the cold molecular gas content of a galaxy gives useful insights on its efficiency in forming stars. However, most galaxies observed in CO (a proxy for the cold molecular gas content) at intermediate redshifts, are field galaxies. Only a handful of studies focused on cluster galaxies. I present new results on the environment of one medium mass cluster from the EDisCS survey at $z\sim0.5$. 27 star-forming galaxies were selected to evenly sample the range of densities encountered inside and around the cluster. We cover a region extending as far as 8 virial radii from the cluster center. Indeed there is ample evidence that star formation quenching starts already beyond 3 cluster virial radius. I discuss our CO(3-2) ALMA observations, which unveil a large fraction of galaxies with low gas-to-stellar mass ratios.

description: Independent food retailers have been losing sales to food-store chains (firms with 11 or more stores) since the I 920's. Independents' share of industry sales fell an average of 0.6 percent each year between 1930 and 1977, and this decline may continue during the I 980's, although independents will always occupy an important place in the industry. Several factors could affect their ability to compete with chains in the future.

description: We consider the statics and dynamics of distinguishable spin-1/2 systems on an arbitrary graph G with N vertices. In particular, we consider systems of quantum spins evolving according to one of two hamiltonians: (i) the XY hamiltonian H_XY, which contains an XY interaction for every pair of spins connected by an edge in G; and (ii) the Heisenberg hamiltonian H_Heis, which contains a Heisenberg interaction term for every pair of spins connected by an edge in G. We find that the action of the XY (respectively, Heisenberg) hamiltonian on state space is equivalent to the action of the adjacency matrix (respectively, combinatorial laplacian) of a sequence G_k, k=0,..., N of graphs derived from G (with G_1=G). This equivalence of actions demonstrates that the dynamics of these two models is the same as the evolution of a free particle hopping on the graphs G_k. Thus we show how to replace the complicated dynamics of the original spin model with simpler dynamics on a more complicated geometry. A simple corollary of our approach allows us to write an explicit spectral decomposition of the XY model in a magnetic field on the path consisting of N vertices. We also use our approach to utilise results from spectral graph theory to solve new spin models: the XY model and heisenberg model in a magnetic field on the complete graph.

title: Learning from Africa: the theological and liturgical implications of inculturation for Anglican worship.
Creators: name: Loomes, Gaenor Mary

description: In thé past thirty years there has been a growing use of the term ‘inculturation’ within the worldwide Christian Church in theological, missiological and liturgical circles. There has been some debate over what this term means in practice, particularly within newer theologies like African theology, and its outworking in worship. However we discover that it is not a new phenomenon but has been an unconscious process from the beginning of the Church’s existence as it communicates the Gospel. This thesis sets out to discover key principles of inculturation from a broad overview of the following: theology of culture; theology of worship; African theology and current liturgical development in Africa. These principles emerge as Incarnation, Mission and Dialogue. There is a particular focus upon the new Service of Holy Communion in the Anglican Church in Kenya (ACK) as an example of inculturation as applied to Anglican liturgy. This liturgy is critiqued in the light of African theology and is found to contain all three of the principles. The conclusion expresses the need for the Christian Church to take seriously both these inculturation principles and the theologies emerging from the so-called ‘developing world’. The example of the ACK liturgy shows that the West which has dominated the expression of the Christian faith in sub-Saharan Africa for a century and a half, has much to learn about cultural relevance from this part of the continent and thus the direction of influence has been reversed.

description: The declining sales share of independent retailers doesn't mean that all of them were driven out of business-many have prospered. Nevertheless, few independents ever open a second supermarket, and only a handful become chains. Those that do expand must pass through several recognizable stages in the growth process from a single store to a large chain operating in several parts of the country.

description: Higgs and Goldstone modes are possible collective modes of an order parameter upon spontaneously breaking a continuous symmetry. Whereas the low-energy Goldstone (phase) mode is always stable, additional symmetries are required to prevent the Higgs (amplitude) mode from rapidly decaying into low-energy excitations. In high-energy physics, where the Higgs boson has been found after a decades-long search, the stability is ensured by Lorentz invariance. In the realm of condensed--matter physics, particle--hole symmetry can play this role and a Higgs mode has been observed in weakly-interacting superconductors. However, whether the Higgs mode is also stable for strongly-correlated superconductors in which particle--hole symmetry is not precisely fulfilled or whether this mode becomes overdamped has been subject of numerous discussions. Experimental evidence is still lacking, in particular owing to the difficulty to excite the Higgs mode directly. Here, we observe the Higgs mode in a strongly-interacting superfluid Fermi gas. By inducing a periodic modulation of the amplitude of the superconducting order parameter $Δ$, we observe an excitation resonance at frequency $2Δ/h$. For strong coupling, the peak width broadens and eventually the mode disappears when the Cooper pairs turn into tightly bound dimers signalling the eventual instability of the Higgs mode.
title: In Omnia Paratus: a study of the influence of the Classics on two Balliol poets of the Nineteenth Century.
Creators: name: Gregson, John Robert
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: This thesis examines the validity of the usual assumptions and generalisations about Classical reception in the Victorian period with specific regard to the ideas and writings of Matthew Arnold and Gerard Manley Hopkins. These poets have been selected for the similarity of their intellectual backgrounds and the dissimilarity of their poetry: the principal concern of the thesis is to emphasise the variety of educated Victorians’ attitudes to and uses of the Classics, despite the apparent homogeneity of their experience of ancient literature. After outlining, from their own backgrounds and comments, some of the general ideas about antiquity held in the nineteenth century, it compares and contrasts the versions of the Classics which the two men adopted (including the way in which these may have changed over the years) and the uses they made of them, examining the contents, styles and origins of their principal relevant poems and, to a lesser extent, their other writings on the subject. As an important part of the thesis is the setting of the work of these poets in the context of that part of Victorian culture which concerned itself with attitudes to antiquity, it also, where appropriate, considers the degree to which their ideas conformed to the expectations of contemporary critics.

Relevance of many-body interactions for correlated electrons in the strong-coupling limit

description: Many-body interactions in effective field theories for disordered interacting electrons are considered. It is shown that three-body and higher interaction terms are generated in perturbation theory, and some of the physical consequences of these interactions are discussed. It is shown in particular that they will in general be important for any effects governed by strong-coupling fixed points. This implies that the usual generalized nonlinear sigma-model for disordered electron systems is incomplete, and not suitable for studying strong-coupling effects.

description: The molecule studied in this work, 2-hydroxyprop-2-enal, is among the candidates to be searched for in the interstellar medium (ISM), as it is a dehydration product of C3 sugars and contains structural motifs typical for some interstellar molecules. The aim of this work is to deepen knowledge about the millimetre-wave spectrum of 2-hydroxyprop-2-enal in the region enabling its search towards astronomical objects. We target the solar-type protostar IRAS16293-2422 and star-forming region Sagittarius (Sgr) B2(N). The rotational spectrum of 2-hydroxyprop-2-enal was measured and analysed in the frequency regions of 128-166 GHz and 285-329 GHz. The interstellar exploration towards IRAS16293-2422 was based on the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) data of the Protostellar Interferometric Line Survey. We also used the imaging spectral line survey ReMoCA performed with ALMA toward Sgr B2(N). We modelled the astronomical spectra under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium. We provide analysis of hundreds of rotational transitions of 2-hydroxyprop-2-enal in the ground state and the lowest lying excited vibrational state. We report its nondetection towards IRAS16293 B. The 2-hydroxyprop-2-enal/3-hydroxypropenal abundance ratio is estimated to be less-than or similar to 0.9-1.3 in agreement with the predicted value of 1.4. We also report the nondetection of 2-hydroxyprop-2-enal toward the hot molecular core Sgr B2(N1). We did not detect the related aldehydes 2-hydroxypropanal and 3-hydroxypropenal either. We find that these three molecules are at least 9, 4, and 10 times less abundant than acetaldehyde in this source, respectively. Despite the nondetections, the results of this work represent a significant improvement on previous investigations in the microwave region and meets the requirements for further searches of this molecule in the ISM.

A two-stage formalism for common-envelope phases of massive stars

description: We propose a new simple formalism to predict the orbital separations after common-envelope phases with massive star donors. We focus on the fact that massive red supergiants tend to have a sizeable radiative layer between the dense helium core and the convective envelope. Our formalism treats the common-envelope phase in two stages: dynamical in-spiral through the outer convective envelope and thermal timescale mass transfer from the radiative intershell. With fiducial choices of parameters, the new formalism typically predicts much wider separations compared to the classical energy formalism. Moreover, our formalism predicts that final separations strongly depend on the donor evolutionary stage and companion mass. Our formalism provides a physically-motivated alternative option for population synthesis studies to treat common-envelope evolution. This treatment will impact on predictions for massive-star binaries, including gravitational-wave sources, X-ray binaries and stripped-envelope supernovae.
