description: This paper aimed to analyse the BM&F cattle future market as a tool for price risk management for traders that deal cattle in the Rondônia State. In order to reach this goal it was analysed if there is a long-term relationship between the cattle prices in Rondônia and the Esalq/BM&F Cattle Index. Besides that, it was done an examination of the optimal hedge Rio Branco – Acre, 20 a 23 de julho de 2008 Sociedade Brasileira de Economia, Administração e Sociologia Rural ratio and its effectiveness to the year of 2007. The results indicated that the cattle price in Rondônia and the Esalq/BM&F Cattle Index has a long-term relationship, which means the traders can use the BM&F as tool to hedge the cattle price in such state. However, through the optimal hedge ratio and the effectiveness analyses were possible to note that between august and november the BM&F utilization did not contribute significantly to manage the cattle price risk.

description: This paper is dedicated to proving the complete integrability of the Benjamin--Ono (BO) equation on the line when restricted to every $N$-soliton manifold, denoted by $\mathcal{U}_N$. We construct generalized action--angle coordinates which establish a real analytic symplectomorphism from $\mathcal{U}_N$ onto some open convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^{2N}$ and allow to solve the equation by quadrature for any such initial datum. As a consequence, $\mathcal{U}_N$ is the universal covering of the manifold of $N$-gap potentials for the BO equation on the torus as described by Gérard--Kappeler $[19]$. The global well-posedness of the BO equation in $\mathcal{U}_N$ is given by a polynomial characterization and a spectral characterization of the manifold $\mathcal{U}_N$. Besides the spectral analysis of the Lax operator of the BO equation and the shift semigroup acting on some Hardy spaces, the construction of such coordinates also relies on the use of a generating functional, which encodes the entire BO hierarchy.

description: This article presents results of a survey applied to Brazilian exporting firms to obtain primary data, which are subject to a statistical analysis about the relative importance attributed to technical barriers to trade. The methodological procedure used consisted in Rio Branco – Acre, 20 a 23 de julho de 2008 Sociedade Brasileira de Economia, Administração e Sociologia Rural factor analysis. This allowed the construction of three indexes: Traditional determinants Index - ICOND, Trade Impediments Index - IIMP and Technical requirements Index - IEXIG. The results indicated that technical requirements effects are different than other variables that affect exports. Additionally, the firms surveyed considered the IEXIG more restrictive than IIMP to their exports. This perception is different within the sectors evaluated.

Vocal culture and social stability in resident killer whales (Orcinus orca)
Creators: name: Yurk, Harald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The killer whale (Orcinus orca) is one of the few species for which vocal culture is actively involved in the development and maintenance of the social organizations of populations. In particular, the social structure of one form of killer whales, called residents, is a good example of this involvement. Resident societies are characterized by associations of groups with highly stable membership, which allow an in-depth examination of the association between vocal culture and the nested social hierarchy of that population. Resident killer whales live in small populations where inbreeding is a threat to their genetic diversity. Genetic and cultural evolution may be closely linked in killer whales, as has been proposed for a number of other cetaceans with matrilineal social structure. To test for a possible link between genetic and cultural evolution in killer whales, I investigated vocal similarities and differences among mixing and non-mixing resident groups and between two ecotypes, residents and transients. First, I examined whether clans exist among resident killer whales in Southern Alaska. Vocal clans had been previously identified in British Columbia but not in Alaska. Two acoustically distinct clans were recognized, each of which was monomorphic for a different mitochondrial D-loop haplotype based on results of a separate genetic study. Thus, acoustic similarities within these cultural groups reflect common matrilineal ancestry, which suggests that clan-based social structure is a fixed characteristic of resident killer whales. Second, I examined the similarity of vocal repertoires between residents and transients, and among clans and communities within residents. Call type similarity does not exist above the clan level. To investigate vocal similarity above the clan level, I split calls into syllables, and compared their distribution among population levels. Structural variation of upper frequency syllables characterized vocal variation among clans of the same community, while usage of distinct lower frequency syllables reflected divisions among communities and between residents and transients. Third, I examined syntax, the ordered arrangement of syllables, among clans of resident communities. I found that vertical transmission of syllable order in matrilines is important for the distinctiveness of call type repertoires and leads to clan-specific syntax rules. Previous work has shown that mating mainly takes place between clans. Because syntax similarity appears to be negatively correlated with sociality among clans, resident killer whales may use syntax variation to choose mates with low levels of genetic relatedness. The link between vocal culture and social structure likely influences mate choice in resident killer whales. This link leads to gene-culture co-evolution in killer whales and makes them excellent candidates for studies of cultural taxonomy.

description: Galactic transient black hole candidate (BHC) MAXI J1535-571 was discovered on 2017 September 02 simultaneously by {\it MAXI}/GSC and {\it Swift}/BAT instruments. It has also been observed by India's first multi-wavelength astronomy-mission satellite {\it AstroSat}, during the rising phase of its 2017-18 outburst. We make both the spectral and the temporal analysis of the source during 2017 September 12-17 using data of {\it AstroSat}'s Large Area X-ray Proportional Counter (LAXPC) in the energy range of $3-40$~keV to infer the accretion flow properties of the source. Spectral analysis is done with the physical two-component advective flow (TCAF) solution-based {\it fits} file. From the nature of the variation of the TCAF model fitted physical flow parameters, we conclude and confirm that the source was in the intermediate spectral state during our analysis period. We observe sharp type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the frequency range of $\sim 1.75-2.81$~Hz. For a better understanding of the nature and evolution of these type-C QPOs, a dynamic study of the power density spectra is done. We also investigate the origin of these QPOs from the shock oscillation model. We find that non-satisfaction of Rankine-Hugoniot conditions for non-dissipative shocks and not their resonance oscillations is the cause of the observed type-C QPOs.

The preliminary results of the analysis of present databaseof settlement sites and reconstructed settlementsin the territory of the Ros river basin (annalistic Porossya)are considered in the paper. The size and structureof the settlements are analyzed. This paper usesinformation on the area of distribution of the culturallayer recorded by researchers in the form of literary andgraphic descriptions of the sites. Data on the size of settlementsof Medieval Porossya region were collected inthe thematic geo-information system «Porossya-01».Up to 2020 the Old Rus archaeological sites in Porossyaare represented by 263 ones: 145 non-fortified sites, 66hill-forts, 36 non-fortified settlements adjacent to the hillforts,16 finds of archaeological material. This databaseof archaeological sites has been collected from fieldworkover the last 150 years. Settlements of the 12th — the firsthalf of the 13th centuries can be divided into three maingroups by the size of residential area: large (8 ha), medium(3.5—7.1 ha) and small (0.1—3.3 ha). 20 % of thelargest settlements of Porossya make 80 % of the entireresidential area of the region and, as a rule, are the centersof agglomerations. The number of medium-sized settlementsis 62 %. Their total area is 13 % of the total areaof all settlements in the Porossya region.The data presented in this paper display the basicidea of the variability of Medieval settlement structuresin the territory of the annalistic Porossya. Furtherthis will allow make the comparative analysis anddistinguish the regional features of the settlement areain the territory of Southern Rus. The use of data fromPorossya will close the archeology to understanding ofthe characteristics and nature of settlements, to thepatterns of their origin and functioning within the limitsMedieval social organisms.

We find that a safe reopening requires strong policy from administrators combined with cautious behavior from students. Strong policy includes weekly screening tests with quick turnaround and halving the campus population. Cautious behavior from students means wearing facemasks, socializing less, and showing up for COVID-19 testing. We also find that comprehensive testing and facemasks are the most effective single interventions, building closures can lead to infection spikes in other areas depending on student behavior, and faster return of test results significantly reduces total infections.

description: We discuss our ongoing program of Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). In this paper, we present the ToO observations of GRBs 021004, 021211, 030115, 030226, and 041006. The observations of GRBs 021004, 021211, 030226, and 041006 all started within ~1 day of the burst, but did not detect any significant sub-millimeter emission from the reverse shock and/or afterglow. These observations put some constraints on the models for the early emission, although the generally poor observing conditions and/or the faintness of these afterglows at other wavelengths limit the inferences that can be drawn from these lack of detections. However, these observations demonstrate that SCUBA can perform rapid observations of GRBs, and provide encouragement for future observations in the Swift era. None of these GRBs had significant sub-millimeter emission from their host galaxies. This adds to the indication that GRBs are not closely linked to the most luminous dusty star-forming galaxies.

description: There are several theoretical frameworks one can draw upon to study the adoption process. Extension Theory, Bounded Rationality, Diffusion Theory, the Theory of Reasoned Action and Consumer Behaviour Theory were of particular interest to us. In assessing the frameworks we looked for contradictions, and how and whether these frameworks could be used to study the adoption process. The assessment was done by using our own conceptual framework of the adoption process and we discuss the results in this paper. We found that the different frameworks don‘t contradict each other and when combined into our conceptual framework they offer very useful constructs for studying the adoption process.

A simple test for periodic signals in red noise
Creators: name: Vaughan, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate a simple method for testing the significance of peaks in the periodogram of red noise data. The procedure was designed to test for spurious periodicities in X-ray light curves of active galaxies, but can be used quite generally to test for periodic components against a background noise spectrum assumed to have a power law shape. The method provides a simple and fast test of the significance of candidate periodic signals in short, well-sampled time series such as those obtained from XMM-Newton observations of Seyfert galaxies, without the need for Monte Carlo simulations. A full account is made of the number of trials and the uncertainties inherent to the model fitting. Ignoring these subtle effects can lead to substantially overestimated significances. These difficulties motivate us to demand high standards of detection (minimum >99.9 per cent confidence) for periodicities in sources that normally show red noise spectra. The method also provides a simple means to estimate the power spectral index, which may be an interesting parameter itself, regardless of the presence/absence of periodicities.

description: In New Zealand total annual funding allows 15 percent of the 2,400 threatened species to be targeted for management. Although management costs are crucial to a conservation organisation's ability to achieve its goals, estimates of costs are not usually included in applications for funding or the preparation of recovery plans. Cost is also not generally a factor in priority ranking systems and cost-effectiveness analysis is rarely conducted. Using the results of analysis of 11 single species programmes for 2003-2012, this paper investigates the costs of management. It also considers the impact of the budget constraint on outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and investment.

description: A simulation tool based on GEMC framework to describe the MRPC telescope of the Extreme Energy Events (EEE) Project is presented. The EEE experiment is mainly devoted to the study of the secondary cosmic muons by using MRPC telescope distributed in high schools and research centres in Italy and at CERN. This takes into account the muon interactions with EEE telescopes and the structures surrounding the experimental apparata; it consists of a dedicated event generator producing realistic muon distribution and a detailed geometry description of the detector. Microscopic behaviour of MRPCs has been included to produce experimental-like data. A method to estimate the chamber effciency directly from data has been implemented and tested by comparing the experimental and simulated polar angle distribution of muons.

description: Infrastructure systems and services (ISS) are vulnerable to changes in climate. This paper reports on a study of the impact of gradual climate changes on ISS in Hamilton City, New Zealand. This study is unique in that it is the first of its kind to be applied to New Zealand ISS. This study also considers a broader range of ISS than most other climate change studies recently conducted. Using historical climate data and four climate change scenarios, we modelled the impact of climate change on water supply and quality, transport, energy demand, public health and air quality. Our analysis reveals that many of Hamilton City's infrastructure sectors demonstrated greater responsiveness to population changes than changes in gradual climate change. Any future planning decisions should be sensitive to climate change, but not driven by it (even though that may be fashionable to do so). We find there is considerable scope for extending this analysis. First, there is a need for local infrastructure managers to improve the coverage of the data needed for this kind of study. Second, any future study of this kind must focus on daily (rather than monthly) time steps and extreme (as well as gradual) climate changes.
Non-Commutative Metrics on Matrix State Spaces

description: We use the theory of quantization to introduce non-commutative versions of metric on state space and Lipschitz seminorm. We show that a lower semicontinuous matrix Lipschitz seminorm is determined by their matrix metrics on the matrix state spaces. A matrix metric comes from a lower semicontinuous matrix Lip-norm if and only if it is convex, midpoint balanced, and midpoint concave. The operator space of Lipschitz functions with a matrix norm coming from a closed matrix Lip-norm is the operator space dual of an operator space. They generalize Rieffel's results to the quantized situation.

Circularly ordering direct products and the obstruction to left-orderability

description: Motivated by the recent result that left-orderability of a group $G$ is intimately connected to circular orderability of direct products $G \times \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, we provide necessary and sufficient cohomological conditions that such a direct product be circularly orderable. As a consequence of the main theorem, we arrive at a new characterization for the fundamental group of a rational homology 3-sphere to be left-orderable. Our results imply that for mapping class groups of once-punctured surfaces, and other groups whose actions on $S^1$ are cohomologically rigid, the products $G \times \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ are seldom circularly orderable. We also address circular orderability of direct products in general, dealing with the cases of factor groups admitting a bi-invariant circular ordering, and iterated direct products whose factor groups are amenable.

description: Common forests in developing countries are valuable sources of raw material supplies, employment and income generation, particularly for low income households. This paper looks at the effect on income and employment when common forest resources have external policies that constrain their use. Using a mixed-integer linear programming model, this study examines the impacts of conservation-oriented community forest policies in Nepal on three household income groups. The results show that current community forest policies, which focus on environmental outcomes through forest use restriction for environment conservation and timber production, result in a large reduction in employment and income of the poorest households and largely explain the recent increase in poverty of rural areas.

description: Numerical simulations of coupled map lattices (CMLs) and other complex model systems show an enormous phenomenological variety that is difficult to classify and understand. It is therefore desirable to establish analytical tools for exploring fundamental features of CMLs, such as their stability properties. Since CMLs can be considered as graphs, we apply methods of spectral graph theory to analyze their stability at locally unstable fixed points for different updating rules, different coupling scenarios, and different types of neighborhoods. Numerical studies are found to be in excellent agreement with our theoretical results.

Haunted waters : an estimate of ghost fishing of crabs and lobsters by traps
Creators: name: Poon, Amy Min-Yee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ghost fishing is the mortality caused by lost fishing gear and as such, its effect on target populations is difficult to quantify. This study seeks to rectify that by developing a methodology to estimate the effect of ghost fishing by lost pots and traps on large crustaceans (crabs and lobsters). Forty-four case studies, consolidated from published literature on the amount of lost traps and their mortality rates, are used as the basis of the calculations. Missing parameters are inferred from existing values in similar case studies. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to analyze the sensitivity of the results to uncertainties in the input data. The mean estimate of ghost fishing as a percentage of reported landings, over the forty-four case studies, is 3.8%. Ghost fishing is a management issue to contend with, especially in areas where fishing effort is high. Improved legislation on using biodegradable twine and/or Galvanic Time Release mechanisms has and will ameliorate the destructive impact of lost traps on vulnerable ecosystems.
Fractionalization and Fermi surface volume in heavy fermion compounds: the case of YbRh$_2$ Si$_2$

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We establish an effective theory for heavy fermion compounds close to a zero temperature Anti-Ferromagnetic (AF) transition. Coming from the heavy Fermi liquid phase across to the AF phase, the heavy electron fractionalizes into a light electron, a bosonic spinon and a {\it new} excitation: a spinless fermionic field. Assuming this field acquires dynamics and dispersion when one integrates out the high energy degrees of freedom, we give a scenario for the volume of its Fermi surface through the phase diagram. We apply our theory to the special case of YbRh$_2$(Si$_{1-x}$ Ge$_x$)$_2$ where we recover, within experimental resolution, several low temperature exponents for transport and thermodynamics.

description: Several different New Zealand economic models produce measures of rural economic activity that have greenhouse gas implications. For climate change analysis, models need to translate economic activity into greenhouse gas emissions. This document estimates functions and creates projections for land-use related greenhouse gas emissions per unit of economic activity that are simple; are based on readily available data and strong science; are consistent with the national inventory in 2002; evolve so that implied net emissions approximately match past inventory totals (1990–2002); and can be linked easily to a variety of models so they can be used in simulations. We estimate dynamic greenhouse gas emission functions for five land uses: dairy, sheep, beef, plantation forestry, and indigenous forests; and for three greenhouse gases: methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide. We use an approach based on the consensus reached at the November 2004 ―Land Use, Climate Change and Kyoto: Human dimensions research‖ project research workshop. These functions will allow different researchers who are studying activity levels in the rural sector to draw on a consistent set of emission functions when considering the greenhouse gas implications of their model results. All these data are available at www.motu.org.nz/dataset.htm so other researchers can easily apply these functions.
