description: The estimation of wildlife populations is an issue currently being solved at workplaces on many levels. Knowledge of wildlife population and localization is not only very important for reducing damage to agricultural and forest growth, which arises from the local overgrowth of certain animal species, but also for the protection of endangered species of animals and plants. The article presents the results of a research carried out during 2017 as the first partial objective of a complex automated wildlife estimation project, namely the recognition of game in a free landscape without vegetation cover from an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). The paper describes a method of finding game animals in a selected area and identifies problems with the recognition of the animals hiding in the vegetation. These results play an important role in solving the overall complex p roblem of automated game recognition.

description: We study the energy spectrum of two anyons on the sphere in a constant magnetic field. Making use of rotational invariance we reduce the energy eigenvalue equation to a system of linear differential equations for functions of a single variable, a reduction analogous to separating center of mass and relative coordinates on the plane. We solve these equations by a generalization of the Frobenius method and derive numerical results for the energies of non-analytically derivable states.

description: The paper deals with the technical efficiency analysis of meat processors in the Czech Republic and evaluates an impact of subsidies on companies’ technical efficiency. Albertina database which collects accounting data of the Czech meat processors was used for the empirical analysis for the programming period 2007-2013. Subsidies data was collected from the public register of recipients of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic. In total, 207 meat processors were analysed. The methodological approach taken in this study is based on translogarithmic production function and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. True Random Effects model, and Battese and Coelli model were used to evaluate the impact of subsidies on technical efficiency. The results of both used methods indicate positive impact of subsidies on meat processors technical efficiency. Material input displays the highest elasticity; the lowest elasticity belongs to production factor Capital. Technical change has a positive impact on production.

description: The observable properties of a Type Ia supernova are sensitive to how the nuclear runaway ignites in a Chandrasekhar mass white dwarf - at a single point at its center, off-center, or at multiple points and times. We present a simple analytic model for the runaway based upon a combination of stellar mixing-length theory and recent advances in understanding Rayleigh-Benard convection. The convective flow just prior to runaway is likely to have a strong dipolar component, though higher multipoles may contribute appreciably at the very high Rayleigh number (10$^{25}$) appropriate to the white dwarf core. A likely outcome is multi-point ignition with an exponentially increasing number of ignition points during the few tenths of a second that it takes the runaway to develop. The first sparks ignite approximately 150 - 200 km off center, followed by ignition at smaller radii. Rotation may be important to break the dipole asymmetry of the ignition and give a healthy explosion.

description: In der vorliegenden Masterthesis werden die Herausforderungen von Institutionen der Suchthilfe in der Stadt Bern in Zusammenhang mit opiatabhängigen Menschen untersucht, die älter als 40 Jahre alt sind. Durch die Entwicklungen der letzten 20 Jahre wurde deutlich, dass opiatabhängige Personen aufgrund der erfolgreichen schweizerischen Suchtpolitik eine immer längere Lebenserwartung haben. Gleichzeitig wurde festgestellt, dass bei diesen Personen eine Voralterung von bis zu 20 Jahren stattfindet. Dadurch werden die Institutionen der Suchthilfe vor neue Herausforderungen gestellt, auf die diese fachlich adäquate Lösungen finden müssen. In dieser Masterthesis wird anhand eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns untersucht, welche Lösungen die Institutionen im Umgang mit älteren opiatabhängigen Menschen gefunden haben und welche Herausforderungen noch zu lösen sind. Dazu wurden acht qualitative Interviews mit Expert*innen geführt, die in Suchthilfeinstitutionen in der Stadt Bern tätig sind. Es konnten fünf Herausforderungen herausgearbeitet werden, mit welchen die Institutionen konfrontiert sind. Diese fünf Herausforderungen lauten «bedürfnisgerechter Wohnraum», «ausreichend Pflegeplätze in der Stadt Bern», «soziale Isolation», «Alter und Sterben» und «grundlegende Transformation».

description: We provide results of a randomized trial comparing incentives for improved delivery of public services in India, targeting child nutrition through the work of salaried caregivers in Chandigarh, India. A winner-take-all prize paid to the best performer yielded less improvement than dividing the same award among workers in proportion to their share of measured gains. In our population of about 2,000 children served by 85 workers, using proportional rewards led to weight-for-age malnutrition rates that were 4.3 percentage points lower at 3 months (when rewards were paid) and 5.9 points lower at 6 months (after the contest had ended), with mean weight-for-age z scores that were .071 higher at 3 months, and .095 higher at 6 months. Proportional bonuses led to larger and more sustained gains because of better performance by lower-ranked workers, whose efforts were not rewarded by a winner-take-all prize. Results are consistent with previous laboratory trials and athletic events, demonstrating the value of proportional rewards to improve service delivery for child nutrition and other development outcomes.

description: This paper analyzes the role of informal social networks in technology diffusion in a caste-based society in which a social hierarchical structure is prevalent. Often, information and technology diffusion are constrained by social and economic boundaries. In a complex and hierarchical social system in which caste plays a very decisive role in everyday life as well as in the political and policy fabric of the regional, state, and national system, proper targeting and dissemination of technology to the marginalized sections of society are very important for their development. Taking diffusion of improved rice varieties as an example, we analyze whether technology diffusion is confined within caste-based social networks or whether technology can break caste boundaries and spread across social networks. We found that informal networks tend to concentrate within caste-based groups and hence observed significantly stronger social network within caste than across caste categories. Strong within caste network discourages hybrids but facilitates stabilized technologies such as improved varieties whereas strong across caste networks discourage adoption of older and traditional varieties. It is important to highlight that existence of stronger within as well as across caste networks for scheduled tribes (ST) facilitated these marginalized communities to adopt improved and hybrid varieties.

Anomalies and unnatural stability of multi-component Luttinger liquids in $\mathbb{Z}_n\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ spin chains

description: We study translationally invariant spin chains where each unit cell contains an $n$-state projective representation of a $\mathbb{Z}_n\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ internal symmetry, generalizing the spin-1/2 XYZ chain. Such spin chains possess a generalized Lieb-Schulz-Mattis (LSM) constraint, and we demonstrate that certain $(n-1)$-component Luttinger liquids possess the correct anomalies to satisfy these LSM constraints. For $n = 3$, using both numerical and analytical approaches, we find that such spin chains with nearest-neighbor interactions appear to be gapless for a wide range of microscopic parameters and described by a two-component conformally invariant Luttinger liquid. This implies the emergence of $n-1$ conserved $U(1)$ charges from only discrete microscopic symmetries. Remarkably, the system remains gapless for an unnaturally large parameter regime despite the apparent existence of symmetry-allowed relevant operators in the field theory. This suggests that either these spin chains have hidden conserved quantities not previously identified, or the parameters of the field theory are simply unnatural due to frustration effects of the lattice Hamiltonian. We argue that similar features are expected to occur in: (1) $\mathbb{Z}_n\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetric chains for $n$ odd, and (2) $\mathbb{S}_n\times\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetric chains for all $n > 2$. Finally, we suggest the possibility of a lower bound growing with $n$ on the minimum central charge of field theories that possess such LSM anomalies.

description: We have previously shown that clinical examiners’ scoring is not negatively impacted when a candidate has a tattoo, unnatural hair colour, or a regional accent. We investigated whether these physical attributes in exam candidates impact patient scoring. Simulated/real patients were randomly assigned to watch five videos of simulated candidate performances of a cranial nerve examination: clear fail, borderline, good, ‘clear pass’ without an attribute, and ‘clear pass’ with one of the attributes (tattoo, purple hair, accent). Participants scored domains of communication and professionalism. We compared scores for the clear pass candidates with and without attributes. One hundred and eighty three patients participated. The total scores for the candidates with tattoos and purple hair were higher than the candidate with no physical attribute (p < 0.001). For the candidate with a Liverpool English accent no difference was identified (p = 0.120). The presence of certain physical attributes (tattoos or purple hair) was associated with higher scores given by patients to candidates in a simulated physical examination station.

description: Bilayer graphene was theorized to host a moire miniband with flat dispersion if the layers are stacked at specific twist angles known as the magic angles. Recently, such twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) with the first magic angle twist was reported to exhibit correlated insulating state and superconductivity, where the presence of the flat miniband in the system is thought to be essential for the emergence of these ordered phases in the transport measurements. Tunneling spectroscopy and electronic compressibility measurements in tBLG have revealed a van Hove singularity that is consistent with the presence of the flat miniband. However, a direct observation of the flat dispersion in the momentum-space of such moire miniband in tBLG is still elusive. Here, we report the visualization of the flat moire miniband by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale resolution (nanoARPES). The high spatial resolution in nanoARPES enabled the measurement of the local electronic structure of the tBLG. We clearly demonstrate the existence of the flat moire band near the charge neutrality for tBLG close to the magic angle at room temperature.

description: Access to market information is an important determinant in agricultural commercialisation. However, most econometric analysis have ignored effects of market information networks that necessitate dissemination among smallholders. This paper aims to assess the effects of social networks on commercialisation of African Leafy Vegetables (ALVs). ALVs which were once considered as poor man s crop have increasingly become an important crop due to the increased nutritional awareness especially among urban dwellers. We model its commercialisation using a two stage double hurdle model: participation decision and extent of commercialisation. The paper is based on data collected in 2015 from a household survey on 202 small holder vegetable farmers in Kenya. Econometric analysis were conducted on STATA 13. Social networks were found significant determinants in intensifying ALVs commercialisation. Market information received by people outside the village (bridging social capital) increased the likelihood of intensifying ALVs commercialisation by 52%. Market information received by fellow farmers mainly through farmer groups had a positive likelihood of intensifying commercialisation by 365% compared to information received by extension officers. Other positive determinants of ALVs commercialisation were farm size, household size, ALVs income share while negative determinants were livestock unit, age, and share of off farm income.

description: Field's linear analysis of thermal instability is repeated using methods related to Whitham's theory of wave hierarchies, which brings out the physically relevant parameters in a much clearer way than in the original analysis. It is also used for the stability of non-equilibrium states and we show that for gas cooling behind a shock, the usual analysis is only quantitatively valid for shocks that are just able to trigger a transition to the cold phase. A magnetic field can readily be included and we show that this does not change the stability criteria. By considering steady shock solutions, we show that almost all plausible initial conditions lead to a magnetically dominated state on the unstable part of the equilibrium curve. These results are used to analyse numerical calculations of perturbed steady shock solutions and of shocks interacting with a warm cloud.

description: The field induced magnetic phase transitions of Cs$_2$CuBr$_4$ were investigated by means of magnetization process and neutron scattering experiments. This system undergoes magnetic phase transition at Neél temperature $T_\mathrm{N}=1.4$ K at zero field, and exhibits the magnetization plateau at approximately one third of the saturation magnetization for the field directions $H\parallel b$ and $H\parallel c$. In the present study, additional symptom of the two-third magnetization plateau was found in the field derivative of the magnetization process. The magnetic structure was found to be incommensurate with the ordering vector $\boldsymbol{Q}=(0, 0.575, 0)$ at zero field. With increasing magnetic field parallel to the c-axis, the ordering vector increases continuously and is locked at $\boldsymbol{Q}=(0, 0.662, 0)$ in the plateau field range $13.1 \mathrm{T} < H < 14.4 \mathrm{T}$. This indicates that the collinear \textit{up-up-down} spin structure is stabilized by quantum fluctuation at the magnetization plateau.

description: Credit constraints among smallholder farmers remain one of the impediments to the much-needed increase in agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. Applying the direct elicitation approach and using representative data from rural Kenya, we identify credit constrained farmers and assess the effect of being constrained on maize yields. Access to credit affects various variables that affect maize yields, although we do not find significant yield differences. Participation in group activities, access to financial and extension services, more education increases the likelihood of being credit unconstrained. Similarly, participating in off-farm activities reduces the likelihood of being credit constrained. Hence, policies that facilitate human capital development, such as households education, access to information, or engagement in off-farm activities- either self-employment or salaried employment, are relevant.

description: The circular economy (CE) decouples resource extraction from economic growth by extending material lifespans through circular processes like reuse, repair, and refurbishment. UBC views the CE concept as a means to achieve its climate and zero-waste goals. Implementing circularity requires an understanding of baseline material flows. The project investigates the following questions: What data are (and are not) available to characterize the procurement, use, and disposal of IT equipment under UBC IT’s jurisdiction? What decisionmakers, processes, and procedures govern the procurement, use, and disposal of IT equipment under UBC IT’s jurisdiction? What are the opportunities to implement circular economy principles in IT equipment flows at UBC IT? What could prevent or enable UBC IT from taking these opportunities? SEEDS provided procurement and disposal data. Further, semi-structured interviews were conducted with UBC IT representatives to learn more about their IT asset management procedures and visions for circularity within UBC. The project thus characterizes the scale of UBC IT’s e-waste problem while developing recommendations for circularity that are grounded in their unique expertise and capacities. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Using panel data of three rounds collected from 12 districts in Tigray, this study assesses the impact of Ethiopia s Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) on the probability of adoption of modern fertilizer and intensity of its use by rural farm households. We employ the control function approach to identify the impact. Results show that membership in the PSNP has a positive impact on the probability of adopting modern fertilizer but not on the amount of fertilizer that farm households use. This result may indicate that the PSNP is contributing to investments by farmers which may lead to achieving food security and enhanced productivity of poor farm households.

description: In this paper we present the master integrals necessary for the analytic calculation of the box diagrams with one electron loop (N_{F}=1) entering in the 2-loop (α^3) QED virtual corrections to the Bhabha scattering amplitude of the electron. We consider on-shell electrons and positrons of finite mass m, arbitrary squared c.m. energy s, and momentum transfer t; both UV and soft IR divergences are regulated within the continuous D-dimensional regularization scheme. After a brief overview of the method employed in the calculation, we give the results, for s and t in the Euclidean region, in terms of 1- and 2-dimensional harmonic polylogarithms, of maximum weight 3. The corresponding results in the physical region can be recovered by analytical continuation. For completeness, we also provide the analytic expression of the 1-loop scalar box diagram including the first order in (D-4).

description: Extended main-sequence turn-offs (eMSTO) are a commonly observed property of young clusters. A global theoretical interpretation for the eMSTOs is still lacking, but stellar rotation is considered a necessary ingredient to explain the eMSTO. We aim to assess the importance of core-boundary and envelope mixing in stellar interiors for the interpretation of eMSTOs in terms of one coeval population. We construct isochrone-clouds based on interior mixing profiles of stars with a convective core calibrated from asteroseismology of isolated galactic field stars. We fit these isochrone-clouds to the measured eMSTO to estimate the age and core mass of the stars in the two young clusters NGC 1850 and NGC 884, assuming one coeval population and fixing the metallicity to the one measured from spectroscopy. We assess the correlations between the interior mixing properties of the cluster members and their rotational and pulsation properties. We find that stellar models based on asteroseismically-calibrated interior mixing profiles lead to enhanced core masses of eMSTO stars and can explain a good fraction of the observed eMSTOs of the two considered clusters in terms of one coeval population of stars, with similar ages to those in the literature, given the large uncertainties. The rotational and pulsation properties of the stars in NGC 884 are not sufficiently well known to perform asteroseismic modelling, as it is achieved for field stars from space photometry. The stars in NGC 884 for which we have vsini and a few pulsation frequencies show no correlation between these properties and the core masses of the stars that set the cluster age. Future cluster space asteroseismology may allow to interpret the values of the core masses in terms of the physical processes that cause them, based on the modelling of the interior mixing profiles for the individual member stars with suitable identified modes.

description: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the impact of value-webs as an innovation in agricultural production on welfare of cassava smallholders in Nigeria. The estimation procedure involved the alternative process of multivalued treatment models when treatment units have multiple values. The study thus extends previous impact studies which focused on estimating causal effects from binary treatment units. The treatment units were determined from the extent of utilization of cassava which informed the classification of households into value-web groups. Value-web is defined here as a measure of joint linkages of product chains within the cassava system. The determinants of the choice of utilization were also estimated. Results show that value-web groups include non-cassava based households; low-level, middle-level and high-level value web groups at 32.4%, 34.1%, 24.4% and 9.1%, respectively. Resource allocation to cassava, farming experience, and access to improved cassava varieties increased probability of higher value-web activities. The ATE estimated from the model shows significant increases of up to N11, 560.14 (USD 37.9) and N11, 296.57(USD 37.04) in monthly farm income if non-cassava based and low-level web households became high-level web households.

description: We present a pilot HI survey of 17 Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs) with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). HI Narrow Self-Absorption (HINSA) is an effective method to detect cold HI being mixed with molecular hydrogen H$_2$ and improves our understanding of the atomic to molecular transition in the interstellar medium. HINSA was found in 58\% PGCCs that we observed. The column density of HINSA was found to have an intermediate correlation with that of $^{13}$CO, following $\rm log( N(HINSA)) = (0.52\pm 0.26) log(N_{^{13}CO}) + (10 \pm 4.1) $. HI abundance relative to total hydrogen [HI]/[H] has an average value of $4.4\times 10^{-3}$, which is about 2.8 times of the average value of previous HINSA surveys toward molecular clouds. For clouds with total column density N$\rm_H >5 \times 10^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$, an inverse correlation between HINSA abundance and total hydrogen column density is found, confirming the depletion of cold HI gas during molecular gas formation in more massive clouds. Nonthermal line width of $^{13}$CO is about 0-0.5 km s$^{-1}$ larger than that of HINSA. One possible explanation of narrower nonthermal width of HINSA is that HINSA region is smaller than that of $^{13}$CO. Based on an analytic model of H$_2$ formation and H$_2$ dissociation by cosmic ray, we found the cloud ages to be within 10$^{6.7}$-10$^{7.0}$ yr for five sources.

description: Computational Cannula Microscopy is a minimally invasive imaging technique that can enable high-resolution imaging deep inside tissue. Here, we apply artificial neural networks to enable fast, power-efficient image reconstructions that are more efficiently scalable to larger fields of view. Specifically, we demonstrate widefield fluorescence microscopy of cultured neurons and fluorescent beads with field of view of 200$μ$m (diameter) and resolution of less than 10$μ$m using a cannula of diameter of only 220$μ$m. In addition, we show that this approach can also be extended to macro-photography.

description: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short lived ($\sim$ msec), energetic transients (having a peak flux density of $\sim$ Jy) with no known prompt emission in other energy bands. We present results of a search for prompt X-ray emissions from 41 FRBs using the Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager (CZTI) on AstroSat which continuously monitors $\sim70\%$ of the sky. Our searches on various timescales in the 20-200 keV range, did not yield any counterparts in this hard X-ray band. We calculate upper limits on hard X-ray flux, in the same energy range and convert them to upper bounds for $η$: the ratio X-ray to radio fluence of FRBs. We find $η\leq 10^{8-10}$ for hard X-ray emission. Our results will help constrain the theoretical models of FRBs as the models become more quantitative and nearer, brighter FRBs are discovered.

description: Abstract Rapid urban growth changes the composition as well as diversification of the food consumed among urban households. Achieving food security in the midst of rapid urbanization require understanding how urban and food consumption intertwined. Thus this paper uses combined measure of food security to determine urban household food security status as influenced by extent of urbanization in Nigeria. Results show that urban effect generated through urbanicity index using principal component analysis revealed that most households were in low urban category. On the average, most urban household had diverse diet. However, combining per capita expenditure and dietary diversity index as measure of household food security revealed different level of food security status. Multinomial logit regression results reveals that gender of household head, employment status, educational status, household income, occupational status and urbanicity index significantly determine the probability of urban household being food secured at different levels of food security status. Relevant policy interventions that aim at securing sustainable food security were identified.

description: Inspired by the intimate relationship between Voiculescu's noncommutative probability theory (of type A) and large-N matrix models in physics, we look for physical models related to noncommutative probability theory of type B. These turn out to be fermionic matrix-vector models at the double large-N limit. In the context of string theory, they describe different orbifolded string worldsheets with boundaries. Their critical exponents coincide with that of ordinary string worldsheets, but their renormalised tree-level one-boundary amplitudes differ.

description: The low energy regime of cosmological BPS-brane configurations with a bulk scalar field is studied. We construct a systematic method to obtain five-dimensional solutions to the full system of equations governing the geometry and dynamics of the bulk. This is done for an arbitrary bulk scalar field potential and taking into account the presence of matter on the branes. The method, valid in the low energy regime, is a linear expansion of the system about the static vacuum solution. Additionally, we develop a four-dimensional effective theory describing the evolution of the system. At the lowest order in the expansion, the effective theory is a bi-scalar tensor theory of gravity. One of the main features of this theory is that the scalar fields can be stabilized naturally without the introduction of additional mechanisms, allowing satisfactory agreement between the model and current observational constraints. The special case of the Randall-Sundrum model is discussed.
