description: Per capita energy consumption in nonmetropolitan areas is higher than in metropolitan areas. This is true for both British thermal units and dollars, although expenditures differ less than consumption in physical units. Differences in fossil fuel consumption are particularly large probably reflecting location of electric generating plants.

description: Federated learning is a method of training a global model from decentralized data distributed across client devices. Here, model parameters are computed locally by each client device and exchanged with a central server, which aggregates the local models for a global view, without requiring sharing of training data. The convergence performance of federated learning is severely impacted in heterogeneous computing platforms such as those at the wireless edge, where straggling computations and communication links can significantly limit timely model parameter updates. This paper develops a novel coded computing technique for federated learning to mitigate the impact of stragglers. In the proposed Coded Federated Learning (CFL) scheme, each client device privately generates parity training data and shares it with the central server only once at the start of the training phase. The central server can then preemptively perform redundant gradient computations on the composite parity data to compensate for the erased or delayed parameter updates. Our results show that CFL allows the global model to converge nearly four times faster when compared to an uncoded approach

description: By applying a dynamic approach to field-level institutional complexity, we explore how growing institutional complexity affects fields over time. We examine field transition processes, which are shaped by the number of logics, the nature of their relationships and the shifts in dominance. Focusing on Germany's energy field, our analysis identifies a variety of conflicts that arose among up to seven institutional logics in the context of the German energy transition, i.e., the transition towards a low carbon energy market. The paper makes two theoretical contributions to the institutional complexity and field literature. First, we develop a process model explaining the field-level consequences of two different types of growing complexity, namely increasing and accelerating complexity. Second, we identify conflicting logic constellations as a distinct form of complexity that we term constellation complexity. We discuss our contributions in light of the literature on institutional logics and fields and show how applying a dynamic perspective to institutional complexity supports scholars in conceptualizing field transition processes.

description: Efficient transportation, a hot topic in nonlinear science, is essential for modern societies and the survival of biological species. Biological evolution has generated a rich variety of successful solutions, which have inspired engineers to design optimized artificial systems. Foraging ants, for example, form attractive trails that support the exploitation of initially unknown food sources in almost the minimum possible time. However, can this strategy cope with bottleneck situations, when interactions cause delays that reduce the overall flow? Here, we present an experimental study of ants confronted with two alternative routes. We find that pheromone-based attraction generates one trail at low densities, whereas at a high level of crowding, another trail is established before traffic volume is affected, which guarantees that an optimal rate of food return is maintained. This bifurcation phenomenon is explained by a nonlinear modelling approach. Surprisingly, the underlying mechanism is based on inhibitory interactions. It implies capacity reserves, a limitation of the density-induced speed reduction, and a sufficient pheromone concentration for reliable trail perception. The balancing mechanism between cohesive and dispersive forces appears to be generic in natural, urban and transportation systems.

description: INTEGRAL made 3 observations in 2003 April of the black hole candidate H 1743-322 during the rising part, and close to the maximum, of an outburst. H 1743-322 was previously observed in outburst in 1977-1978. The source is located in a crowded region of the sky (l = 357 deg, b = -2 deg) and at least 18 sources are clearly detected in the field of view of the gamma-ray imager during a 277 ksec exposure. These are well known persistent X-ray binaries and 3 transient sources in outburst. The combined 5-200 keV JEM-X and SPI spectrum of H 1743-322 is well fit with an absorbed ((2.5 10E22 atom/cm2) soft (photon index 2.70 +/- 0.09) power-law model consistent with J 1743-322 being in a high/soft state.

description: International trade and growth will be severely affected by the debt problems of the developing countries for at least the next 5 years. International trade will not significantly increase for the United States or other nations unless both the developed and developing countries find fundamental solutions and take aggressive action to overcome this situation. The accumulation of international debt by the developing world was initiated after the first oil shock in 1973-74 when OECD countries accommodated the first increases in oil prices by allowing international liquidity to increase accordingly. The recirculation of this liquidity led to the debt buildup. The contractionary monetary policy response to the second oil shock of 1979-80 led to the current debt payment problem.

description: The paper describes an algorithm for semantic representation of behavioral contexts relative to a dichotomic decision alternative. The contexts are represented as quantum qubit states in two-dimensional Hilbert space visualized as points on the Bloch sphere. The azimuthal coordinate of this sphere functions as a one-dimensional semantic space in which the contexts are accommodated according to their subjective relevance to the considered uncertainty. The contexts are processed in triples defined by knowledge of a subject about a binary situational factor. The obtained triads of context representations function as stable cognitive structure at the same time allowing a subject to model probabilistically-variative behavior. The developed algorithm illustrates an approach for quantitative subjectively-semantic modeling of behavior based on conceptual and mathematical apparatus of quantum theory.

description: Guy Dodson's scientific reputation is based on his seminal contributions to linking chemistry and biology through analyses of three-dimensional structures elucidated by crystallography. He inspired and supported the development of new methods to determine structure, to relate structure to chemical mechanism and to embed structural insights into the lexicon of biological research. He began his career working with Dorothy Hodgkin, at the University of Oxford, and in later life he set up two very successful structural biology laboratories, at the University of York and then at the National Institute of Medical Research, Mill Hill. He is particularly remembered for his research into improving insulin therapy, based on modifications suggested by structural insights. He showed early recognition of how to build synergy in industrial collaborations that led both to fundamental scientific discoveries and to the development of new medicines and products to benefit society. He is also remembered for the enthusiasm he brought to these studies, for the pleasure he got, and gave, from the successes of others, and his generosity of spirit.

description: With the upcoming implementation of napping facilities on the UBC Vancouver campus for the Arts Students’ Centre, we sought to better understand the current sleep and napping habits of UBC students and if a length of nap was had an association with scores subjective psychological outcomes, whether positive or negative. We hypothesize that nap length should show some relationship with psychological outcomes. Through online survey, 55 participants that identified as UBC students were asked to self-report their average length of nap and the perceived frequency of experiencing several psychological outcomes as a result of their nap. Psychological outcomes were defined as positively or negatively valenced experiences/states such as alertness, readiness to work, feeling energized, satisfaction, fatigue, irritability, and anxiousness. Analysis using Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient showed no significant correlations between nap length and any of the variables, as correlations were both extremely weak and not statistically significant.

description: Agricultural exports are important both to the U.S. farm economy and the nonfarm economy. Grains, oilseeds, and oilseed products represent over two-thirds of the value of U.S. agricultural exports. The United States has the abundant land resources and the technology to compete effectively, in the growing global market for these commodities. Growth in U.S. agricultural exports will depend upon U.S. domestic policies: macroeconomic policy, trade policy, and farm policy. A major policy conflict exists between supporting domestic grain prices and expanding exports.

description: Restructuring food environments, such as online grocery stores, has the potential to improve consumer health by encouraging healthier food choices. The aim of this study was to investigate whether repositioning foods within an experimental online grocery store can be used to nudge healthier choices. Specifically, we investigated whether repositioning product categories displayed on the website main page, and repositioning individual products within those categories, will influence selection. Adults residing in Australia (n = 175) were randomised to either intervention (high-fibre foods on top) or comparator condition (high-fibre foods on the bottom). Participants completed a shopping task using the experimental online grocery store, with a budget of up to AU$100 to for one person’s weekly groceries. The results of this study show that the total fibre content per 100 kcal per cart (p < .001) and total fibre content per cart (p = .036) was higher in the intervention compared to comparator condition. Moreover, no statistical difference between conditions was found for the total number of fibre-source foods (p = .67), the total energy per cart (p = .17), and the total grocery price per cart (p = .70) indicating no evidence of implications for affordability. Approximately half of the participants (48%) reported that they would like to have the option to sort foods based on a specific nutrient criterion when shopping online. This study specifically showed that presenting higher-fibre products and product categories higher up on the online grocery store can increase the fibre content of customers’ purchases. These findings have important implications for consumers, digital platform operators, researchers in health and food domains, and for policy makers.
Effect of binary evolution on the inferred initial and final core masses of hydrogen-rich, Type~II supernova progenitors

description: The majority of massive stars, the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae (SNe), are found in close binary systems. Zapartas et al. (2019) modeled the fraction of hydrogen-rich, Type II SN progenitors which have their evolution affected by mass exchange with their companion, finding this to be between 1/3 and 1/2 for most assumptions. Here we study in more depth the impact of this binary history of Type II SN progenitors on their final pre-SN core mass distribution, using population synthesis simulations. We find that binary star progenitors of Type II SNe typically end their life with a larger core mass than they would have had if they had lived in isolation, because they gained mass or merged with a companion before explosion. The combination of the diverse binary evolutionary paths typically lead to a marginally shallower final core mass distribution. Discussing our results in the context of the red supergiant problem, i.e., the reported lack of detected high luminosity progenitors, we conclude that binary evolution does not seem to significantly affect the issue. This conclusion is quite robust against our variations in the assumptions of binary physics. We also predict that inferring the initial masses of Type II SN progenitors from "age-dating" its surrounding environment systematically yields lower masses compared to methods that probe the pre-SN core mass or luminosity. A robust discrepancy between the inferred initial masses of a SN progenitor from those different techniques could indicate an evolutionary history of binary mass accretion or merging.

description: We present an extensive synthetic observational analysis of numerically- simulated radio galaxies designed to explore the effectiveness of conventional observational analyses at recovering physical source properties. These are the first numerical simulations with sufficient physical detail to allow such a study. The present paper focuses on extraction of magnetic field properties from nonthermal intensity information. Synchrotron and inverse-Compton intensities provided meaningful information about distributions and strengths of magnetic fields, although considerable care was called for. Correlations between radio and X-ray surface brightness correctly revealed useful dynamical relationships between particles and fields. Magnetic field strength estimates derived from the ratio of X-ray to radio intensity were mostly within about a factor of two of the RMS field strength along a given line of sight. When emissions along a given line of sight were dominated by regions close to the minimum energy/equipartition condition, the field strengths derived from the standard power-law-spectrum minimum energy calculation were also reasonably close to actual field strengths, except when spectral aging was evident. Otherwise, biases in the minimum- energy magnetic field estimation mirrored actual differences from equipartition. The ratio of the inverse-Compton magnetic field to the minimum-energy magnetic field provided a rough measure of the actual total energy in particles and fields in most instances, within an order of magnitude. This may provide a practical limit to the accuracy with which one may be able to establish the internal energy density or pressure of optically thin synchrotron sources.

The parametrization of the spectral functions includes constraints from unitarity, perturbative QCD, and recent measurements of the neutron charge radius. We obtain a good description of most modern form factor data, with the exception of the Jefferson Lab data on G_E^p/G_M^p in the four-momentum transfer range Q^2=3...6 GeV^2. For the magnetic radii of the proton and the neutron we find r_M^p = 0.857 fm and r_M^n = 0.879 fm, which is consistent with the recent determinations using continued fraction expansions.

description: Soils, just like all other ecosystem compartments, change over time and, consequently, conditions for soil‐inhabiting organisms are also changing, affecting their composition and diversity. Soil biodiversity is a critical component of ecosystems that supports many essential ecosystem functions and services, such as nutrient cycling, carbon sequestration, water regulation and biomass production for food, fodder, fibre and energy. However, and despite the importance of soil biodiversity for ecosystem health and human well‐being, neither current state, drivers, potential consequences for ecosystem services nor options for sustainable governance of soil biodiversity are well understood. Here, we provide a framework for and argue that conducting a national assessment of soil biodiversity, albeit being a complex endeavour, is fundamental to building a baseline to understand the current state and trends of soil biodiversity, but also to identify the main drivers of change, the impacts of soil biodiversity loss and the potential pathways for conservation and sustainable governance of soil biodiversity.

description: The problems of solid waste management, escalating energy prices, and corresponding energy shortages and curtailments are recognized as issues of national concern as well as important management considerations for livestock and poultry producers. One way of handling both the energy and manure management problems is to implement waste disposal systems which incorporate energy conversion technologies. The systems under consideration in this study use anaerobic digestion to biologically degrade livestock and poultry manures into a fuel gas which is 60-70 percent methane (CH4). A major factor in determining the output of methane from anaerobic digestion is the physical design of the digestor. Besides reactor design, there are a number of other environmental and operational factors which affect the quantity and quality of gas production. These include amounts of volatile solids or available nutrients in the manure, temperature and pH of the slurry, retention time of the slurry, and the presence of toxic materials and oxygen. These factors can be altered by digester design and management practices and will change as learning about these systems accumulates.

description: The Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) is one of three science instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The IRS comprises four separate spectrograph modules covering the wavelength range from 5.3 to 38micron with spectral resolutions, R \~90 and 600, and it was optimized to take full advantage of the very low background in the space environment. The IRS is performing at or better than the pre-launch predictions. An autonomous target acquisition capability enables the IRS to locate the mid-infrared centroid of a source, providing the information so that the spacecraft can accurately offset that centroid to a selected slit. This feature is particularly useful when taking spectra of sources with poorly known coordinates. An automated data reduction pipeline has been developed at the Spitzer Science Center.

description: In this work, we discuss the use of a recently introduced machine learning (ML) technique known as Fourier neural operators (FNO) as an efficient alternative to the traditional solution of the time‐dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE). FNOs are ML models which are employed in the approximated solution of partial differential equations. For a wavepacket propagating in an anharmonic potential and for a tunneling system, we show that the FNO approach can accurately and faithfully model wavepacket propagation via the density. Additionally, we demonstrate that FNOs can be a suitable replacement for traditional TDSE solvers in cases where the results of the quantum dynamical simulation are required repeatedly such as in the case of parameter optimization problems (e.g., control). The speed‐up from the FNO method allows for its combination with the Markov‐chain Monte Carlo approach in applications that involve solving inverse problems such as optimal and coherent laser control of the outcome of dynamical processes.
Photoemission spectrum in paramagnetic FeO under pressure: towards an \textit{ab-initio} description

description: In this work we provide an exhaustive study of the photemission spectrum of paramagnetic FeO under pressure using a refined version of our recently derived many-body effective energy theory (MEET). We show that, within a nonmagnetic description of the paramagnetic phase, the MEET gives an overall good description of the photoemission spectrum at ambient pressure as well as the changes it undergoes by increasing pressure. In particular at ambient pressure the band gap opens between the mixed Fe $t_{2g}$ and O $2p$ states and the Fe 4s states and, moreover, a $d$-$d$ gap opens, which is compatible with a high-spin configuration (hence nonzero local magnetic moments as observed in experiment), whereas decreasing pressure the band gap tends to close, $t_{2g}$ states tend to become fully occupied and $e_{g}$ fully unoccupied, which is compatible with a low-spin configuration (hence a collapse of the magnetic moments as observed in experiment). This is a remarkable result, since, within a nonmagnetic description of the paramagnetic phase, the MEET is capable to correctly describe the photoemission spectrum and the spin configuration at ambient as well as high pressure. For comparison we report the band gap values obtained using density-functional theory with a hybrid functional containing screened exchange (HSE06) and a variant of the $GW$ method (self-consistent COHSEX), which are reliable for the description of the antiferromagnetic phase. Both methods open a gap at ambient pressure, although, by construction, they give a low-spin configuration; increasing pressure they correctly describes the band gap closing. We also report the photoemission spectrum of the metallic phase obtained with one-shot fully-dynamical $GW$ on top of LDA, which gives a spectrum very similar to DMFT results from literature.

description: This thesis examines the development of a sustainable ecosystem for Indigenous Entrepreneurship (IE) in Australia, focusing on integrating cultural values, community support, and systemic frameworks. IE is vital for economic development, cultural preservation, and social empowerment within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. However, these ventures often face significant barriers, including socio-economic disadvantages, systemic challenges, and misaligned support structures, limiting their growth and sustainability.This research adopts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) guided by Ecological Systems Theory as the primary framework. This approach comprehensively analyses the various support networks and stakeholders that shape Indigenous Entrepreneurial Ecosystems. Seventy-three peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2024 were critically reviewed to identify best practices and gaps in existing support mechanisms.The findings highlight the importance of culturally responsive policies, community-driven motivation, and the necessity of financial literacy for sustainable growth. While support structures have progressed, many remain misaligned with Indigenous values, underscoring the need for co-designed initiatives that reflect cultural contexts. The proposed framework provides practical recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities, emphasizing the need for adaptive, community-centred approaches that foster economic resilience and cultural preservation.

description: Little progress has been made in reducing agricultural protection in the past 35 years despite a substantial reduction in trade barriers for other sectors. The importance attached to food and agricultural issues and the influence of politically powerful interest groups have precluded reforms in domestic policies which would make a reduction in trade barriers possible. The difficulty in measuring the level of agricultural protection--complicated by the prevalence of numerous nontaritt barriers--inhibits the dissemination of information which would stimulate the development of political constituencies opposed to protectionist measures. The major U.S. contribution to the negotiation of a liberalization of agricultural trade may be U.S. concessions in nonagricultural sectors

description: Household food consumptionpatterns differ significantly among geographic regions in the United States. The variations in low-income household food expenditures are identified for major food categories in nine census regions. A multiple regression model is developed to estimate changes in food expenditure patterns associated with changes in income for low-income households. Our results have important implications for Federal programs such as the Food Stamp Program.

description: Following findings by Ormerod and Mounfield, Wright rises the problem whether a power or an exponential law describes the distribution of occurrences of economic recession periods. In order to clarify the controversy a different set of GDP data is hereby examined. The conclusion about a power law distribution of recession periods seems better though the matter is not entirely settled. The case of prosperity duration is also studied and is found to follow a power law. Universal but also non universal features between recession and prosperity cases are emphasized. Considering that the economy is basically a bistable (recession/prosperity) system we may derive a characteristic (de)stabilisation time.

title: Incivility and gender: considering instigator/target gender interactions
Creators: name: Pike, Katlyn A.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: In this study, I examine gender dyads, especially considering gender minorities, and how uncivil behaviour would effect negative and positive affect, interactional justice, affective commitment, and turnover intentions. In particular, I use the Dysempowerment Model (Kane & Montgomery, 1998) to explain how incivility leads to these negative outcomes. In addition, selective incivility (Cortina, 2008) is incorporated to illustrate how gender of the target may result in higher rates of polluters, thus different (more significant) outcomes for female and gender minority targets. Finally, I integrate gender status literature to hypothesize gender effects based on the manager’s (instigator) gender. A 2 (incivility vs. control) x 3 (manager gender: male, female, transgender) x 3 (participant/target gender: male, female, transgender) vignette-based pseudo-experiment was conducted to test the hypotheses. Data collection was done online, and participants were recruited through online means (Amazon Mechanical Turk, Social Media recruitment, and Prolific). The main effects for incivility manipulation were all significant, but the gender x incivility interaction effects were mainly nonsignificant. The significant results support that relatively common, but rude, behaviours can cause tangible changes in negative affect, interactional justice, job commitment, affective commitment, and positive affect. Some unexpected interactions were found with respect to intentions to quit. Implications for future research and practitioners are discussed.

description: The number, size, and characteristics of beef slaughtering and processing plants are changing. Many changes are related to cost considerations. This report presents the results of detailed computer simulated examination of packing plant costs. Significant economies of size exist; lower operating costs can be achieved using two shifts and when fully utilizing plant and equipment. The computer program developed allows for a detailed analysis of costs and can be adjusted to specific situations.

description: Many organic dyes are fluorescent in solution. In the solid state, however, quenching processes often dominate, hampering material science applications such as light filters, light‐emitting devices, or coding tags. We show that the dimethylene‐cyclopropanide scaffold can be used to form two structurally different types of chromophores, which feature fluorescence quantum yields up to 0.66 in dimethyl sulfoxide and 0.53 in solids. The increased fluorescence in the solid state for compounds bearing malonate substituents instead of dicyanomethide ones is rationalized by the induced twist between the planes of the cyclopropanide core and a pyridine ligand.

description: Farmers Home Administration new farm loan activity has rapidly shifted from direct to guaranteed lending. This study determines how this change affects the farm sector and farm credit markets. Objective models constructed of these two alternative credit delivery modes indicate that a complete shift to guaranteed loans would exclude some low-income, low-risk borrowers who previously received direct loans and reduce the agency's role in the farm credit market. The study found that the guarantee program is the cost-effective choice, but this conclusion depends in part upon the elasticities of credit demand and supply. Welfare analyses show that borrowers and lenders are affected differently by the two kinds of credit programs. In order to minimize the deadweight loss to society, credit program selection must take into account the elasticity of farm credit demand and supply. The analysis also indicates that credit program selection depends upon the objectives of program.
The formation of the double neutron star pulsar J0737--3039

description: We find that the orbital period (2.4 hours), eccentricity (0.09), dipole magnetic field strength (6.9 x 10^9 Gauss) and spin period (22 ms) of the new highly relativistic double neutron star system PSR J0737-3039 can all be consistently explained if this system originated from a close helium star plus neutron star binary (HeS-NS) in which at the onset of the evolution the helium star had a mass in the range 4.0 to 6.5 M_sun and an orbital period in the range 0.1 to 0.2 days. Such systems are the post-Common-Envelope remnants of wide Be/X-ray binaries (orbital period ~ 100 to 1000 days) which consist of a normal hydrogen-rich star with a mass in the range 10 - 20 M_sun and a neutron star. The close HeS-NS progenitor system went through a phase of mass transfer by Roche-lobe overflow at a high rate lasting a few times 10^4 years; assuming Eddington-limited disk accretion onto the neutron star this star was spun up to its present rapid spin rate. At the moment of the second supernova explosion the He star had a mass in the range 2.3 to 3.3 M_sun and in order to obtain the present orbital parameters of PSR J0737-3039 a kick velocity in the range 70 - 230 km/s must have been imparted to the second neutron star at its birth.

On the cohomology groups of real Lagrangians in Calabi-Yau threefolds

description: The quintic threefold $X$ is the most studied Calabi-Yau $3$-fold in the mathematics literature. In this paper, using Čech-to-derived spectral sequences, we investigate the mod $2$ and integral cohomology groups of a real Lagrangian $\breve{L}_{\mathbb{R}}$, obtained as the fixed locus of an anti-symplectic involution in the mirror to $X$. We show that $\breve{L}_{\mathbb{R}}$ is the disjoint union of a $3$-sphere and a rational homology sphere. Analysing the mod $2$ cohomology further, we deduce a correspondence between the mod $2$ Betti numbers of $\breve{L}_{\mathbb{R}}$ and certain counts of integral points on the base of a singular torus fibration on $X$. By work of Batyrev, this identifies the mod $2$ Betti numbers of $\breve{L}_{\mathbb{R}}$ with certain Hodge numbers of $X$. Furthermore, we show that the integral cohomology groups $H^j(\breve{L}_{\mathbb{R}},\mathbb{Z})$ of $\breve{L}_{\mathbb{R}}$ are $2$-primary for $j \neq 0,3$; we conjecture that this holds in much greater generality.
