description: In this article, approximate solutions of linear Volterra Integro-Differential equations system with variable coefficients types by means of the hybrid-Bessel method is considered. We use the transfer matrix from Bessel-hybrid functions to Taylor polynomials, to obtain the operational matrixes and approximation of functions. The matrix equations correspond to a system of linear algebraic
equations with the unknown Bessel-hybrid coefficients. Some examples are given, showing its effectiveness and convenience.
Stochastic models in population biology and their deterministic analogs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: In this paper we introduce a class of stochastic population models based on "patch dynamics". The size of the patch may be varied, and this allows one to quantify the departures of these stochastic models from various mean field theories, which are generally valid as the patch size becomes very large. These models may be used to formulate a broad range of biological processes in both spatial and non-spatial contexts. Here, we concentrate on two-species competition. We present both a mathematical analysis of the patch model, in which we derive the precise form of the competition mean field equations (and their first order corrections in the non-spatial case), and simulation results. These mean field equations differ, in some important ways, from those which are normally written down on phenomenological grounds. Our general conclusion is that mean field theory is more robust for spatial models than for a single isolated patch. This is due to the dilution of stochastic effects in a spatial setting resulting from repeated rescue events mediated by inter-patch diffusion. However, discrete effects due to modest patch sizes lead to striking deviations from mean field theory even in a spatial setting.

Chinese indentured labourers in British Guiana (1838-1900) : an exploration of colonial text
Creators: name: Ali, Alicia Alison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: During the post-emancipation period of British Guiana (1838-1900) Chinese indentured servants were imported into the colony for the purpose of working on sugar plantations. It is argued in this paper that colonial literature constructed two competing themes regarding Chinese identity in British Guiana. Using colonial discourse analysis, specifically Foucault, Said and Bhabha, this thesis explores how dementi's narrative represented the Chinese immigrant as an "ideal immigrant" who embraced the sugar plantation of British Guiana, while Kirke's memoirs portray an "exotic immigrant" in need of constant vigilance. Although the writings of Clementi and Kirke attempt to organize, order and assert power over the colonized space of British Guiana, these two authors reveal tension and ambivalence between the colonized Chinese subject and the dominant colonial discourse.

description: Random factor graphs provide a powerful framework for the study of inference problems such as decoding problems or the stochastic block model. Information-theoretically the key quantity of interest is the mutual information between the observed factor graph and the underlying ground truth around which the factor graph was created; in the stochastic block model, this would be the planted partition. The mutual information gauges whether and how well the ground truth can be inferred from the observable data. For a very general model of random factor graphs we verify a formula for the mutual information predicted by physics techniques. As an application we prove a conjecture about low-density generator matrix codes from [Montanari: IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 2005]. Further applications include phase transitions of the stochastic block model and the mixed $k$-spin model from physics.

description: We discuss an extension of a map between between BPS states and free fermions. The extension involves states associated with a full two matrix problem which are constructed using a sequence of integral equations. A two parameter set of matrix model eigenstates is then related to states in SUGRA. Their wavefunctions are characterized by nontrivial dependence on the radial coordinate of AdS and of the Sphere respectively. A kernel defining a one to one map between these states is then constructed.

Big Bounce or Double Bang? A Reply to Craig and Sinclair on the Interpretation of Bounce Cosmologies

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)

description: On the orthodox interpretation of bounce cosmologies, a preceding universe was compressed to a small size before ``bouncing'' to form the present expanding universe. William Lane Craig and James Sinclair have argued that the orthodox interpretation is incorrect if the entropy reaches a minimum at the bounce. In their view, the interface between universes represents the birth of two expanding universes, i.e., a ``double bang'' instead of a ``big bounce''. Here, I reply to Craig and Sinclair in defense of the orthodox interpretation. Contrary to their interpretation, features of one universe explain features of the other universe and so must precede the other universe in time. Moreover, contrary to a crucial part of Craig and Sinclair's interpretation, there are bounce cosmologies in which the thermodynamic arrow of time is continuous through the bounce even though the entropy is ``reset'' at the bounce.

Two anomalies are found, a broad deviation centered around 160 K and a clear deviation at a temperature of 255 K approximately. We have attempted to relate these to the anomalies previously reported in the case of the resistivity data. The Transient Thermoelectric Effect [TTE] results lead us to the inference that the system under goes from single carrier system to at least two carrier system at 220 K-our heat capacity results seem to provide further independent evidence for this transition in this system.

description: In a new and updated edition, Writing Histories: Imagination and Narration is a book for anyone wanting to write histories that capture the imagination and challenge the intellect. It aims to show that historical narrative and imagination can work together to produce works of history that are a pleasure to read. Nine historians reflect on their work as writers, exploring some of the most difficult and interesting questions any history-writer faces: how to get started, how to find a 'voice', how to enliven a description or a narration, and how to find a worthwhile structure. Contributors also suggest how historians can convey multiple perspectives, 'show' rather than tell, foreground the research process, find inspiration from music, painting and landscape, and use literary techniques such as metaphor. The book will be a useful text for teachers and students in history-writing classes and informal groups. There are suggestions for group exercises, and advice on how to conduct writing workshops. Many historians, however, both students and established writers, will continue to write in relative isolation. This book is also intended for them. This updated edition of Writing Histories has a new introduction written by Ann Curthoys, and an updated bibliography.

description: Deuterium fractionation processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) have been shown to be highly efficient in the family of nitrogen hydrides. To date, observations were limited to ammonia (NH$_2$D, NHD$_2$, ND$_3$) and imidogen radical (ND) isotopologues. We want to explore the high frequency windows offered by the \emph{Herschel Space Observatory} to search for deuterated forms of amidogen radical NH$_2$ and to compare the observations against the predictions of our comprehensive gas-grain chemical model. Making use of the new molecular spectroscopy data recently obtained at high frequencies for NHD and ND$_2$, both isotopologues have been searched for in the spectral survey towards the class 0 IRAS 16293-2422, a source in which NH$_3$, NH and their deuterated variants have been previously detected. We used the observations carried out with HIFI (Heterodyne Instrument for the Far Infrared) in the framework of the key program "Chemical Herschel surveys of star forming regions" (CHESS). We report the first detection of interstellar NHD and ND$_2$. Both species are observed in absorption against the continuum of the protostar. From the analysis of their hyperfine structure, accurate excitation temperature and column density values have been determined. The latter were combined with the column density of the parent species NH$_2$ to derive the deuterium fractionation in amidogen. The amidogen D/H ratio measured in the low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422 is comparable to the one derived for the related species imidogen and much higher than that observed for ammonia. Additional observations of these species will give more insights into the mechanism of ammonia formation and deuteration in the ISM. We finally indicate the current possibilities to further explore these species at submillimeter wavelengths.

Witch-Hunt and Conspiracy: The 'Ninja Case' in East Java

Subjects: subject: 169903 Studies of Asian Society

description: This book brings unique insight and prize-winning analysis to an extraordinary story – that of a witch-hunt and ‘ninja’ craze that swept a region of Java, Indonesia, in 1998. When neighbours, family members and friends believed that one among them was a sorcerer, this suspicion would sometimes culminate in the death of the suspect. In 1998, these sporadic killings turned into an outbreak of violence. Muslim organisations attributed the escalation of these killings to political conspirators, alleging that squads of ‘ninjas’ were responsible. A paramilitary group (Banser NU) began preparing and training for an onslaught of further violence, while anxious residents throughout East Java established road-side guards. Dozens of suspected ninjas were caught and some were tortured and killed.
NON-CREDIBLE INFORMATION FLOWS BETWEEN FOOD MANUFACTURERS AND RETAILERS

Subjects: Agribusiness

description: Asymmetric information between food manufacturers and retailers constrains the efforts of analysts studying the retail food chain. The problem may be especially pronounced during new product introductions. Manufacturers may have demand information about new products but have incentives to not credibly relay that information. Retailers often lack reliable demand information about new products. Understanding the roots of non-credible information flows within the manufacturer/retailer relationship is important to behavioral modeling in the food chain. This paper provides an analytic derivation to explain sufficient conditions for non-credible information flows leading to asymmetric information and adverse selection problems. Results provide insight about formation of information sharing mechanisms in the retail grocery channel.

description: We characterize single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers created by 10-keV N+ ion implantation into diamond via thin SiO$_2$ layers working as screening masks. Despite the relatively high acceleration energy compared with standard ones (< 5 keV) used to create near-surface NV centers, the screening masks modify the distribution of N$^+$ ions to be peaked at the diamond surface [Ito et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 110, 213105 (2017)]. We examine the relation between coherence times of the NV electronic spins and their depths, demonstrating that a large portion of NV centers are located within 10 nm from the surface, consistent with Monte Carlo simulations. The effect of the surface on the NV spin coherence time is evaluated through noise spectroscopy, surface topography, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

description: An inhomogeneous compactification of a higher dimensional spacetime can result in the formation of type I dimension bubbles, i.e., nontopological solitons which tend to absorb and entrap massive particle modes. We consider possible consequences of a neutron star that harbors such a soliton. The astrophysical outcome depends upon the model parameters for the dimension bubble, with a special sensitivity to the bubble's energy scale. For relatively small energy scales, the bubble tends to rapidly consume the star without forming a black hole. For larger energy scales, the bubble grows to a critical mass, then forms a black hole within the star, which subsequently causes the remaining star to collapse. It is possible that the latter scenario is associated with core collapse explosions and gamma ray bursts.

Evaluation of indicator microorganisms in blueberry and raspberry production systems
Creators: name: Aliphtiras, George J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Recent outbreaks of foodborne disease have been attributed to the consumption of fresh produce. Enteric pathogens derived from animal and human faecal material have been identified as the dominant etiological agents in these outbreaks. The objective of this study was to identify significant sources of such microbial contamination in blueberry and raspberry production systems. Study participants (berry farms) were selected according to agronomic practices, including fertilization, harvesting, source of irrigation water and method of distributing irrigation water. The study was conducted over two berry-growing seasons. Enumeration of coliforms and Escherichia coli on fruit, fruit contact surfaces and environmental samples from growers and processors were conducted using traditional, violet red bile agar-based (TSA-VRBA[sub MUG] overlay, Petrifilm™ E coli count plates) and newly developed chromogenic assays (Chromocult® coliform agar and XM-G agar). The TSA-VRBA[sub MUG] overlay method, however, was found to be unsuitable and was discontinued after the first sampling year. Results suggested that contamination of berry fruit surfaces occurred at the grower level. Harvesting and processing practices did not contribute significant coliform bacteria (P > 0.05) to the fruit surface at the grower and processor levels. Based upon Kruskal-Wallis and multiple comparison analyses on E coli counts, ditch water-overhead sprinkler irrigation was deemed to be a significant source of microbial contamination in blueberry production. The inability to detect a difference in the sanitary or faecal indices of berry samples using coliform populations re-affirmed the unsuitability of coliform counts as indicators of sanitation for fresh produce. E coli isolates from berry samples were non-verocytotoxicogenic based upon PCR analyses. However, the frequency of E coli occurrence in berry samples indicates a potential risk from other enteric pathogens. Comparison of selective agars revealed that efficiencies of coliform and E coli recovery for CCA and PEC were significantly different (P < 0.05). However, E coli counts within the accuracy and estimated range on CCA and PEC correlated to each other (P < 0.05), likely due to the shared β-D-glucuronidase- based differentiation reaction. CCA is a suitable alternative to TSA-VRBA[sub MUG] overlay and PEC for coliform and E coli enumeration due to greater indicator recovery and differentiation capability.
The energetics, evolution, and stellar depletion of Li6 in the early Galaxy
Creators: name: Prantzos, Nikos
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Motivated by the recent report of a high Li6 ``plateau'' extending to low metallicities in Galactic halo stars, we study the energetics of an early production of Li6 through the interaction of energetic particles with the interstellar medium. We then explore the potential of various candidate sources of pre-galactic energetic particles and show that, in general, they fail to satisfy the observational and theoretical requirements (especially if the Li6 plateau is at a considerably higher level than observed). Succesful candidates appear to be: supernova explosions with abnormally low metal yield; the massive black hole in the Galactic center (provided that it was formed early on and that it was then radiating much more efficiently than today); and, perhaps, an early accretion phase of supermassive black holes in galaxies. Assuming that Li6 is indeed pre-galactic, we study the galactic evolution of the light isotopes Li7, Li6, and Be in a self-consistent way. We find that the existence of a Li6 plateau is hard to justify, unless a fine-tuned and metallicity-dependent depletion mechanism of Li6 in stellar envelopes is invoked. The depletion of Li6 should be different, both in magnitude and in its metallicity dependence, than the depletion required to explain current observations of Li (mostly Li7) in halo stars. If the recently reported Li6 ``plateau'' is confirmed, our analysis suggests important implications for our understanding of the production, evolution, and stellar depletion of the Li isotopes.

description: Increased emphasis on consumer markets in broiler profit-maximizing modeling generates results that differ from those of traditional profit-maximization models. This approach reveals that the adoption of step-pricing and consideration of marketing options (examples of responsiveness to consumers) affect the optimal feed-formulation levels and types of broiler production to generate maximum profitability. With the adoption of step-pricing, higher profits can be obtained for targeted weights only if premium prices for broiler products are contracted.

description: Blue Luminescence (BL) was first discovered in a proto-planetary nebula, the Red Rectangle (RR) surrounding the post-AGB star HD 44179. BL has been attributed to fluorescence by small, 3-4 ringed neutral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, and was thought to be unique to the RR environment where such small molecules are actively being produced and shielded from the harsh interstellar radiation by a dense circumstellar disk. In this paper we present the BL spectrum detected in several ordinary reflection nebulae illuminated by stars having temperatures between 10,000 -- 23,000 K. All these nebulae are known to also exhibit the infrared emission features called aromatic emission features (AEFs) attributed to large PAHs. We present the spatial distribution of the BL in these nebulae. In the case of Ced~112, the BL is spatially correlated with mid-IR emission structures attributed to AEFs. These observations provide evidence for grain processing and possibly for in-situ formation of small grains and large molecules from larger aggregates. Most importantly, the detection of BL in these ordinary reflection nebulae suggests that the BL carrier is an ubiquitous component of the ISM and is not restricted to the particular environment of the RR.

description: Oxygen vacancies (VO), a common type of point defects in metal oxides materials, play important roles on the physical and chemical properties. To obtain stoichiometric oxide crystal, the pre-existing VO is always removed via careful post-annealing treatment at high temperature in air or oxygen atmosphere. However, the annealing conditions is difficult to control and the removal of VO in bulk phase is restrained due to high energy barrier of VO migration. Here, we selected VO2 crystal film as the model system and developed an alternative annealing treatment aided by controllable hydrogen doping, which can realizes effective removal of VO defects in VO2-δ crystal at lower temperature. This finding is attributed to the hydrogenation accelerated oxygen vacancies recovery in VO2-δ crystal. Theoretical calculations revealed that the H-doping induced electrons are prone to accumulate around the oxygen defects in VO2-δ film, which facilitates the diffusion of VO and thus makes it easier to be removed. The methodology is expected to be applied to other metal oxides for oxygen-related point defects control.

description: Writing for Raksmey tells of the lives of six families who fled the aftermath of the Cambodian killing fields, were held in a crowded refugee camp at the border of their country, and then sent back to a nation still at war. The past is not spoken about but the struggles are not over and the sons and daughters of those who once were refugees sense mystery in their legacy and know it is important to them. Joan Healy lived and worked with these refugees for many years. In response to a young man who said he ‘needed to know everything’, she has told a story of his troubled homeland, retrieved from the fading pages of her journals and letters. The saga of this quarter century is witness to both a determination to survive and human goodness that was never quenched. Joan Healy’s personal, learned, eye-witness account is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Cambodia.

description: Food marketers regularly make references to meals and meal times. However, geographic variations in how consumers describe meals and in when meal occasions occur may limit the ability of foodservice providers, marketing researchers, and food manufacturers to effectively use any specific meal definitions. By understanding what words people use to label different meal events (e.g., "dinner" or "supper") in different areas, food marketers can improve their ability to communicate with consumers.

description: A multinomial logit model was estimated and used to analyze consumer choice between the best retail meat cut from four species of alternative livestock or "none of these" (all with equal retail prices). The data source, a 1997 survey of Louisiana households, included buffalo, emu, ostrich, and venison. The following were important variables in the respondents' selection among species of alternative livestock: sex, education and race of the respondent; previous consumption of meat from exotic animals; and respondent identification of venison as an exotic meat. The respondents also indicated some resistance to consuming meat from animals that they considered to be exotic. These results infer that producers and sellers of meat from exotic animals will have to overcome these perceptions to move their product beyond niche markets.

description: Too often, cultural leaders and policy makers want to chase the perfect metric for activities whose real worth lies in our own personal experience. The major problem facing Australian culture today is demonstrating its value – to governments, the business sector, and the public in general. When did culture become a number? When did the books, paintings, poems, plays, songs, films, games, art installations, clothes, and the objects that fill our daily lives become a matter of statistical measurement? When did experience become data? This book intervenes in an important debate about the public value of culture that has become stranded between the hard heads (where the arts are just another industry) and the soft hearts (for whom they are too precious to bear dispassionate analysis). It argues that our concept of value has been distorted and dismembered by political forces and methodological confusions, and this has a dire effect on the way we assess culture. Proceeding via concrete examples, it explores the major tensions in contemporary evaluation strategies, and puts forward practical solutions to the current metric madness. The time is ripe to find a better way to value our culture – by finding a better way to talk about it.

description: We experimentally investigate the outcoupling of atoms from Bose-Einstein condensates using two radio-frequency (rf) fields in the presence of gravity. We show that the fringe separation in the resulting interference pattern derives entirely from the energy difference between the two rf fields and not the gravitational potential difference. We subsequently demonstrate how the phase and polarisation of the rf radiation directly control the phase of the matter wave interference and provide a semi-classical interpretation of the results.

description: We report the sulfur isotope effect on transition temperature in a BiS2-based superconductor Bi4O4S3. Polycrystalline samples of Bi4O4S3 were prepared using 32S and 34S isotope chemicals. From magnetization analyses, the isotope exponent (aS) was estimated as -0.1 < aS < 0.1. Although the Tc estimated from electrical resistivity was scattered as compared to those estimated from the magnetization, we observed no clear correlation between Tc and the isotope mass. The present results suggest that unconventional paring states are essential in Bi4O4S3.

Coding Theorems for Noisy Permutation Channels

description: In this paper, we formally define and analyze the class of noisy permutation channels. The noisy permutation channel model constitutes a standard discrete memoryless channel (DMC) followed by an independent random permutation that reorders the output codeword of the DMC. While coding theoretic aspects of this model have been studied extensively, particularly in the context of reliable communication in network settings where packets undergo transpositions, and closely related models of DNA based storage systems have also been analyzed recently, we initiate an information theoretic study of this model by defining an appropriate notion of noisy permutation channel capacity. Specifically, on the achievability front, we prove a lower bound on the noisy permutation channel capacity of any DMC in terms of the rank of the stochastic matrix of the DMC. On the converse front, we establish two upper bounds on the noisy permutation channel capacity of any DMC whose stochastic matrix is strictly positive (entry-wise). Together, these bounds yield coding theorems that characterize the noisy permutation channel capacities of every strictly positive and "full rank" DMC, and our achievability proof yields a conceptually simple, computationally efficient, and capacity achieving coding scheme for such DMCs. Furthermore, we also demonstrate the relation between the output degradation preorder over channels and noisy permutation channel capacity. In fact, the proof of one of our converse bounds exploits a degradation result that constructs a symmetric channel for any DMC such that the DMC is a degraded version of the symmetric channel. Finally, we illustrate some examples such as the special cases of binary symmetric channels and (general) erasure channels. Somewhat surprisingly, our results suggest that noisy permutation channel capacities are generally quite agnostic to the parameters that define the DMCs.
