Towards Sustainable Future by Transition to the Next Level Civilisation

description: Universal and rigorously derived concept of dynamic complexit (physics/9806002) shows that any system of interacting components, including society and civilisation, exists only as a process of highly inhomogeneous, qualitative development of its complexity. Modern state of civilisation corresponds to the end of unfolding of a big enough level of complexity. Such exhausted, totally "replete" structure cannot be sustainable in principle and shows instead increased instability, realising its inevitable replacement by a new kind of structure with either low or much higher level of complexity (degrading or progressive development branch, respectively). Unrestricted sustainability can emerge only after transition to the next, superior level of civilisation complexity, which implies qualitative and unified changes in all aspects of life, including knowledge, production, social organisation, and infrastructure. These changes are specified by the rigorous analysis of underlying interaction processes. The unitary, effectively one-dimensional and rigidly fixed kind of thinking, knowledge, and social structure at the current level of complexity will be replaced by "dynamically multivalued", intrinsically creative kind of structure at the forthcoming superior level of development. We propose mathematically rigorous description of unreduced civilisation complexity development, including universal criterion of progress. One obtains thus a working basis for the causally complete, objectively exact and reliable development science and futurology.

Realistic protein-protein association rates from a simple diffusional model neglecting long-range interactions, free energy barriers, and landscape ruggedness
Creators: name: Schlosshauer, Maximilian

Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We develop a simple but rigorous model of protein-protein association kinetics based on diffusional association on free energy landscapes obtained by sampling configurations within and surrounding the native complex binding funnels. Guided by results obtained on exactly solvable model problems, we transform the problem of diffusion in a potential into free diffusion in the presence of an absorbing zone spanning the entrance to the binding funnel. The free diffusion problem is solved using a recently derived analytic expression for the rate of association of asymmetrically oriented molecules. Despite the required high steric specificity and the absence of long-range attractive interactions, the computed rates are typically on the order of 10^4-10^6 M-1 s-1, several orders of magnitude higher than rates obtained using a purely probabilistic model in which the association rate for free diffusion of uniformly reactive molecules is multiplied by the probability of a correct alignment of the two partners in a random collision. As the association rates of many protein-protein complexes are also in the 10^5-10^6 M-1 s-1, our results suggest that free energy barriers arising from desolvation and/or side-chain freezing during complex formation or increased ruggedness within the binding funnel, which are completely neglected in our simple diffusional model, do not contribute significantly to the dynamics of protein-protein association. The transparent physical interpretation of our approach that computes association rates directly from the size and geometry of protein-protein binding funnels makes it a useful complement to Brownian dynamics simulations.

description: Increasing environmental awareness is pushing the design of electic motors to favor none rare-earth solutions (i.e., without permanent magnets), and one such example is the SyncRM 2 (or concentrated-coiled SRM2) being proposed for the electric hybrid automobile Toyota Yaris. Following on an already established line of research on this topic, this article proposes a new design that re-assigns most of the magnetic material in the stator to the rotor — resulting in the Dual-sided SyncRM (a variant of the SRM2). The detrimental effect (caused by the extra gap) of slightly reducing the aligned inductance is overwhelmingly outweighed by the beneficial effect of drastically reducing the unaligned inductance. Extensive back-to-back FEMM analysis was conducted, where the recomputed SRM2 matches previous research, providing confidence to the favorable predictions of the Dual-sided SyncRM. Both performances are compared, with the venue being available for download on an open-source database. A realistic photo-rendered three-dimensional model is displayed and also available. An important outcome is the Dual-sided SyncRM torque (and power) increased by 29% (with respect to the SRM2), achieving a saliency ratio of 10 and an efficiency boost to 91% (at the rated operational speed of 1200rpm).CAD link: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/_CAD_Design_of_the_Novel_Dual-sided_Synchronous_Reluctance_Motor/24634062FEMM data link: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/_FEMM_Magnetic_Modeling_of_the_Dual-sided_Synchronous_Reluctance_Motor/24634068Applied Physics Research Journal link: https://ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/apr/article/view/0/49825-------------------------------------------------------------------------For more public data, please visit my Figshare profile: https://figshare.com/authors/Luis_Teia/10811244
Anatomical Aspects Influencing Wool Quality
Creators: name: Divya Gupta*, Rajesh Rajput, Virender Pathak and Parul Shukla
Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: The quality of wool depends on the various anatomical aspects like structure and density of wool follicles, fiber diameter, cortex structure and medullation etc. The arrangement of these elements significantly affects wool characteristics such as fineness, strength and crimp. Additional factors like skin health, genetics and nutrition also plays pivotal role in determining the overall quality of wool produced by a sheep. Understanding of these anatomical factors is crucial for breeders and researchers aiming to enhance wool quality through selective breeding and management practices.

description: This paper considers testing for structural change of unknown form in the linear regression model as a problem of testing for goodness-of-fit. Transformations of recursive (or other LUS) residuals that reduce the problem to one of testing independently distributed uniform variables are presented. Exact empirical distribution function tests can then be applied without having to estimate unknown parameters. The tests are illustrated by their application to a money demand model.
Rethinking Depthwise Separable Convolutions: How Intra-Kernel Correlations Lead to Improved MobileNets

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We introduce blueprint separable convolutions (BSConv) as highly efficient building blocks for CNNs. They are motivated by quantitative analyses of kernel properties from trained models, which show the dominance of correlations along the depth axis. Based on our findings, we formulate a theoretical foundation from which we derive efficient implementations using only standard layers. Moreover, our approach provides a thorough theoretical derivation, interpretation, and justification for the application of depthwise separable convolutions (DSCs) in general, which have become the basis of many modern network architectures. Ultimately, we reveal that DSC-based architectures such as MobileNets implicitly rely on cross-kernel correlations, while our BSConv formulation is based on intra-kernel correlations and thus allows for a more efficient separation of regular convolutions. Extensive experiments on large-scale and fine-grained classification datasets show that BSConvs clearly and consistently improve MobileNets and other DSC-based architectures without introducing any further complexity. For fine-grained datasets, we achieve an improvement of up to 13.7 percentage points. In addition, if used as drop-in replacement for standard architectures such as ResNets, BSConv variants also outperform their vanilla counterparts by up to 9.5 percentage points on ImageNet.

description: We discuss pore dynamics in osmotically stressed vesicles. A set of equations which govern the liposomal size, internal solute concentration, and pore diameter is solved numerically. We find that dependent on the internal solute concentration and vesicle size, liposomes can stay pore-free, nucleate a short lived pore, or nucleate a long-lived pore. The phase diagram of pore stability is constructed, and the different scaling regimes are deduced analytically.

title: Work in progress?: 14-16 year old boys' experience of vocational education
Creators: name: Gilchrist, Rosemary Martine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: This research arose from my professional concern, as a teacher, in boys’ underachievement in secondary schools, an issue that has occupied a central position in educational debate in recent years. My study focused on how the 14-19 curriculum changes, introduced by the last Labour Government, might have some enduring relevance to the debate on boys and achievement. The first two research questions considered perspectives on achievement and interventions aiming to benefit boys while the final question related to experiences of the 14-19 curriculum. Review of the literature led me to employ a critical theoretical framework The methodology used was qualitative in nature in which I adopted a post-modern interpretivist perspective. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with young people and with their teachers in a number of English schools and colleges with some accompanying policy document review. Semiotic analysis was also employed to examine the use and implications of language and how this can alter perspectives of all those involved in education. Analysis of the data related to the key categories underpinning the research questions and using a methodology informed by grounded theory. Key issues arising related to the concepts of ‘choice’, ‘practicality’ and ‘being treated as adults’. In conducting the research I was most interested in finding out whether and how policy intentions can translate into practical outcomes and how the needs and voices of young people can be articulated for their benefit and for that of the wider society. My findings suggest that the issue of underachievement is systemic within the mainstream educational curriculum with a gap existing between what young people think they need and what policy makers perceive to be required. I propose that there is need for renewed attention specific to learners aged 14-16 which will enable the development of skills and enhance life choices so that achievement is better understood, inclusive and accessible.

description: We present a new numerical scheme for solving the initial value problem for quasiequilibrium binary neutron stars allowing for arbitrary spins. We construct sequences of circular-orbit binaries of varying separation, keeping the rest mass and circulation constant along each sequence. The spin angular frequency of the stars is shown to vary along the sequence, a result that can be derived analytically in the PPN limit. This spin effect, in addition to leaving an imprint on the gravitational waveform emitted during binary inspiral, is measurable in the electromagnetic signal if one of the stars is a pulsar visible from Earth.

description: In attempt to obtain LEED Platinum+ rating, the highest rating for a green building within North America, a producing rooftop garden is to be integrated into the new Student Union Building on UBC campus. This report contains a summary of the selected crop, it’s management and irrigation needs specific to this particular garden, as well as a brief suggestion to a monitoring system. However, its main focus is a comparative analysis of the considered irrigation systems to be implemented on the rooftop garden. This was done through a triple bottom line analysis, which not only looks at the economical impact of the system, but also assesses the environmental and social bearing. The three systems in question were sprinkler irrigation, drip tape, and soaker hose. An example of the factors taken into account during the analysis would be the cost of the materials necessary for the installation or maintenance, the efficiency of the system with respect to water conservation, or the level of convenience it imposes for the staff. Based on the information reviewed within this article, the recommendation arrived at was to implement the drip tape. Many aspects influenced this decision, such as the budget, limited amount of staff, life expectancy, and the scale specific to the design of the Student Union Building rooftop garden. In conclusion, the recommended irrigation system presented in this report was selected due to the installation and maintenance costs being low, its efficiency with water usage, and the fact that it has very little social impacts.

description: Two-level boson systems displaying a quantum phase transition from a spherical (symmetric) to a deformed (broken) phase are studied. A formalism to diagonalize Hamiltonians with $O(2L+1)$ symmetry for large number of bosons is worked out. Analytical results beyond the simple mean-field treatment are deduced by using the continuous unitary transformations technique. In this scheme, a 1/N expansion for different observables is proposed and allows one to compute the finite-size scaling exponents at the critical point. Analytical and numerical results are compared and reveal the power of the present approach to compute the finite-size corrections in such a context.

 Bonaparte (1854a) indique dans sa description de Ptilinopus flavicollis qu’il a étudié des spécimens récoltés par Maugé ainsi que par Quoy et Gaimard, ce qui correspond bien aux indications des spécimens du MNHN, mais il ne précise pas leur nombre. Lors de la rédaction de notre liste des types de pigeons (Voisin et al. 2004) nous pensions qu’il n’y en avait que deux, le nº C.G. 2002-128 et un spécimen conservé au BMNH (1842-1-19-4). Selon Warren (1966), qui l’a désigné comme « Holotype », et R. Prys-Jones (comm. pers.) ce dernier provient du Musée de Leyde (Pays-Bas). Dans ces conditions, le spécimen de Tring est le lectotype du taxon Ptilinopus flavicollis et les trois spécimens du MNHN à Paris des paralectotypes (ICZN 1999: article 74.6).Cependant on peut remarquer que rien n’indique que le spécimen de Tring ait bien appartenu à la série type du taxon Ptilinopus flavicollis telle qu’elle a été définie par Bonaparte.Il ne porte aucune étiquette ancienne, ni aucune date ou nom de collecteur.On sait seulement qu’il est originaire de Timor et se trouvait dans un lot de 92 spécimens acquis à un commerçant, J. Leadbeater, et dont «beaucoup étaient des doubles du Musée de Leiden [...] provenant des expéditions de S. Muller et d’autres naturalistes néerlandais » (Sharpe 1906). La stabilité de la nomenclature n’étant pas menacée, nous n’avons pas cru nécessaire de pousser nos investigations plus loin.

REMARQUES
 Reinwardt a décrit cette espèce dans un manuscrit, mais la première description publiée de ce taxon l’a été par Temminck (in Temminck & Laugier de Chartrouse 1823) qui se réfère à Reinwardt en écrivant « Columba oxyura Reinwardt ». Les spécimens qui ont servi à la description de Temminck sont ceux envoyés de Java par Reinwardt et Diard car Temminck écrit: «MM. Reinwardt et Diard ont envoyé de ces Colombars aux Musées des Pays-Bas et de Paris». L’espèce est représentée pl. 240 sous le nom de « Colombar à queue pointue». Le Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum de Leyde ne possède pas de spécimens types de ce taxon (Van den Hoek Ostende et al. 1997), et nous ne savons pas ce que sont devenus les autres spécimens de la série.
 L’épithète spécifique oxyura, du grec oxys, pointu et oyra, queue, est un substantif et reste donc invariable quel que soit le genre du nom auquel il est associé (ICZN 1999: articles 31.2.1 et 34.2.1). Il est donc incorrect d’écrire Treron oxyurus comme cela se trouve parfois.

Although cancellations between the different kinds of corrections occur, the full corrections are of the order of +/-10% and thus important ingredients in the theoretical predictions for future e+ e- colliders.

description: The purpose of this article is to illustrate the possible effect of a deregulated yellow maize marketing system on the livestock industry (via the stockfeed industry). The stockfeed industry, with its different market segments, and the most important raw materials are described .. A sectoral linear programming model was used to simulate the one channel maize policy in thirteen regions. The social cost of the single channel maize marketing system (which distorted market signals) was calculated. The livestock industry (via yellow maize in stockfeed) was the major looser under the single channel maize marketing system. Moving to a freer market situation for yellow maize should result in a more balanced agricultural sector and an increase in the total economic welfare of the country, and particularly that of the livestock industry.
A Boothby-Wang theorem for Besse contact manifolds

description: A Reeb flow on a contact manifold is called Besse if all its orbits are periodic, possibly with different periods. We characterize contact manifolds whose Reeb flows are Besse as principal S^1-orbibundles over integral symplectic orbifolds satisfying some cohomological condition. Apart from the cohomological condition this statement appears in the work of Boyer and Galicki in the language of Sasakian geometry. We illustrate some non-commonly dealt with perspective on orbifolds in a proof of the above result without referring to additional structures. More precisely, we work with orbifolds as quotients of manifolds by smooth Lie group actions with finite stabilizer groups. By introducing all relevant orbifold notions in this equivariant way we avoid patching constructions with orbifold charts. As an application, and building on work by Cristofaro-Gardiner--Mazzucchelli, we deduce a complete classification of closed Besse contact 3-manifolds up to strict contactomorphism.

description: A multi-stage adoption-decision process is modelled to isolate factors influencing commercial fanners' decisions to implement soil conservation measures. The models are estimated using logistic regression analysis, and represent fanners' awareness of erosion occurring, perceptions that it is a problem worth resolving, and technical and financial abilities to implement appropriate soil conservation measures. Data were collected from five different commercial farming regions in KwaZulu - Natal. Results show visible erosion impacts, formal agricultural education, and perceptions reflecting the seriousness of erosion's impacts on the environment, positively influence awareness. Fanners investing their own capital when implementing soil conservation measures, and those doing this with no outside technical assistance are more likely to perceive erosion as worth resolving. Knowledge of erosion's adverse implications for agricultural productivity and the importance of extension officers for providing information on erosion and conservation decisions also influence this stage positively. Those with the technical ability to implement and maintain conservation measures regularly attend soil conservation courses, and help others implement conservation practices. Inadequate technical skills to implement soil conservation measures appears to be a major constraining factor within the adoption process. Financial ability is positively influenced by farmers' willingness to invest their own capital in conservation measures, larger proportions of fann area under crops, and perceptions reflecting on-farm financial and managerial benefits from soil conservation. Government expenditure should perhaps be targeted at extension programs to improve farmers' technical abilities to implement conservation practices, and at education and research that emphasises individual benefits of soil conservation.

description: As an extension of the findings presented in a previous article, logistic and multiple regression are used to estimate models representing soil conservation adoption and soil conservation effort respectively. A single conservation adoption model is estimated based on results in the previous article.. The model shows sufficient financial resources, farm enterprise types, farmers' willingness to invest own capital in conservation activities, awareness of erosion's adverse implications for agricultural productivity and visible erosion impacts, significantly affect adoption. In addition, variables reflecting fanners' technical abilities to implement conservation measures are significantly correlated to those in the adoption model. Conservation effort is dependent on the following financial factors: farmers' willingness to invest own capital in conservation activities, debt repayment obligations, and on-farm financial benefits from implementing conservation activities. These findings illustrate the significance of financial characteristics necessary for extensive implementation of soil conservation measures once adoption has been initiated, and highlight the distinction between conservation adoption and conservation effort. The variable reflecting subsidy payments for implementing soil conservation practices is not significant in either model. This suggests the effectiveness of cWTent subsidy payment provisions provided for in Act 43/1983, in initiating incentives for implementing soil conservation measures, need to be clarified.
Phi Meson Propagation and Decay at Finite Temperature

description: We study spectral properties of the phi meson at finite temperature using an effective Lagrangian together with finite-temperature field theory as a basis for modeling. General field-theoretic arguments are then used to establish the lifetime of the phi in hot hadronic matter. We find from the model, and we therefore propose a scenario in which, the phi decays inside the fireball. Early decays into $μ^{+}μ^{-}$ occur at high temperature while measurable hadronic decays into $K^{+}K^{-}$ (not suffering rescattering) occur at freezeout, where flow could be substantial. These results provide a consistent picture, if not possible interpretation of the NA49 and NA50 data from CERN.

description: Determination of marlceting margins in the South African potato industry requires knowledge of the industry itself and of marlceting margin theory. An analysis conducted on national level to determine factors influencing the margin of potatoes, was also applied on regional level. The marlcets of Cape To'Ml, Durban, Bloemfontein and Johannesburg were analyzed to detect regional differences. In each region. the producer price proved to be the main determinant of price margins for potatoes. A strong interrelationship exists between the Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and Durban markets.

description: We study the two-pion exchange potential at next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory. We propose a new cut-off scheme for the pion loop integrals based on spectral function regularization. We show that this method allows for a consistent implementation of constraints from pion-nucleon scattering. It leads to a much improved description of the partial waves with angular momentum l \geq 2 as compared to the calculation utilizing dimensional regularization.

description: In the new South Africa, a freer and less regulated market for agricultural products is envisaged. It is also doubtful whether the same degree of proteation and aid will be supplied to fam1ers by our new democratic govemment. Surviving this changed situation will require a greater degree of entrepreneurship on the part of the Janner. As a result of past circumstances, there is some concem about the potential for entrepreneurship among fam1ers, as colllrol measures bureaucracy and inte,frence in the market forces tend to limit entrepreneurship. This study firstly attempts to establish what makes an entrepreneur, and secondly to investigate the existence of a model for detennining or estimating the entrepreneurial potential within a certain agricultural sector. An empirical study which attempts to estimate or detennine the entrepreneurial potential for fanners in the various branches of the agicultural sector in South Africa is envisaged.
