description: Concern about expanding opportunities for North Carolina has sparked interest in food processing. Growth in food processing is seen by some as away of increasing the demand for agricultural output. This report documents the growth in the fruit and vegetable food processing sector in North Carolina during the last three decades, and contrasts this growth to the performance of the same sector 1ft the rest of the nation. Significant growth in the North Carolina sector is observed, especially during the 1980s. Also, as a percentage of the state economy, the sector has grown faster in North Carolina since 1980 than the sector has in the nation as a percentage of. the national economy. Nevertheless, the relative size of the North Carolina sector is only half the relative size of the national sector.
title: Theory of planned behaviour, skin care & pressure sores following spinal cord injury
Creators: name: Sheppard, Ruth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: Objectives: To use the theory of planned behaviour to explore factors associated with performing skin care behaviours and the occurrence of pressure sores in people with spinal cord injury. Design: A within-group cross-sectional design was used to assess 59 people with spinal cord injury living in the community. A sample returned a repeat assessment allowing a longitudinal examination of the relationship between intention and actual behaviour. Methods: A measure was developed in accordance with the theory of planned behaviour guidelines through interviews with people with spinal cord injury. Measures of mood and knowledge of skin-care behaviours were also included. Results: The theory of planned behaviour components, mood and knowledge of skincare behaviours were helpful in predicting intention, skin care behaviour and occurrence of pressure sores. Demographic and disease factors also helped to identify people at increased risk of performing less skin-care behaviour or developing a pressure sore. Overall, past behaviour and indirect perceived control and past behaviour and age were particularly important predictors of pressure relief and skin checking intention respectively. Conclusions: Psychosocial factors, including the theory of planned behaviour components, were useful in understanding adherence to skin care behaviours and the occurrence of pressure sores. Overall the combination of past behaviour and indirect perceived control, and past behaviour and age were particularly important predictors of pressure relief intention and skin checking intention respectively. The clinical and theoretical implications of these findings are considered and suggestions for future research are outlined.
Proximity Preserving Binary Code using Signed Graph-Cut

description: We introduce a binary embedding framework, called Proximity Preserving Code (PPC), which learns similarity and dissimilarity between data points to create a compact and affinity-preserving binary code. This code can be used to apply fast and memory-efficient approximation to nearest-neighbor searches. Our framework is flexible, enabling different proximity definitions between data points. In contrast to previous methods that extract binary codes based on unsigned graph partitioning, our system models the attractive and repulsive forces in the data by incorporating positive and negative graph weights. The proposed framework is shown to boil down to finding the minimal cut of a signed graph, a problem known to be NP-hard. We offer an efficient approximation and achieve superior results by constructing the code bit after bit. We show that the proposed approximation is superior to the commonly used spectral methods with respect to both accuracy and complexity. Thus, it is useful for many other problems that can be translated into signed graph cut.

description: We investigate bright matter-wave solitons in the presence of a spatially varying scattering length. It is demonstrated that, even in the absence of any external trapping potential, a soliton can be confined due to the inhomogeneous collisional interactions. Moreover we observe the enhanced transmission of matter-wave solitons through potential barriers for suitably chosen spatial variations of the scattering length. The results indicate that the manipulation of atomic interactions can become a versatile tool to control the dynamics of matter waves.

description: When light propagates through opaque material, the spatial information it holds becomes scrambled, but not necessarily lost. Two classes of techniques have emerged to recover this information: methods relying on optical memory effects, and transmission matrix (TM) approaches. Here we develop a general framework describing the nature of memory effects in structures of arbitrary geometry. We show how this framework, when combined with wavefront shaping driven by feedback from a guide-star, enables estimation of the TM of any such system. This highlights that guide-star assisted imaging is possible regardless of the type of memory effect a scatterer exhibits. We apply this concept to multimode fibres (MMFs) and identify a `quasi-radial' memory effect. This allows the TM of an MMF to be approximated from only one end - an important step for micro-endoscopy. Our work broadens the applications of memory effects to a range of novel imaging and optical communication scenarios.

description: In this paper we report on 2D numerical simulations concerning linear and nonlinear evolution of surface-tension-driven instability in two-fluid systems heated from below using classical and phase-field models. In the phase-field formalism, one introduces an order parameter called phase-field function to characterize thermodynamically the phases. All the system parameters are assumed to vary continuously from one fluid bulk to another (as linear functions of the phase-field). The Navier-Stokes equation (with some extra terms) and the heat equation are written only once for the whole system. The evolution of the phase-field is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. In the sharp-interface limit the results found by the phase-field formalism recover the results given by the classical formulation.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We study the M-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) population of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) by characterizing the individual sources in terms of the main properties of the progenitors and of the dust present in the circumstellar envelope. To this aim, we compare the combination of the spectroscopic and photometric data collected by Spitzer, complemented by additional photometric results available in the literature, with results from AGB modelling that include the description of dust formation in the wind. To allow the interpretation of a paucity stars likely evolving through the post-AGB phase, we extended the available evolutionary sequences to reach the PN phase. The main motivation of the present analysis is to prepare the future observations of the evolved stellar populations of Local Group galaxies that will be done by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), by identifying the combination of filters that will maximize the possibilities of characterizing the observed sources. The present results show that for the M-star case the best planes to be used for this purpose are the colour-magnitude ([F770W]-[F2550W], [F770W]) and (Ks-[F770W], [F770W]) planes. In these observational diagrams the sequences of low-mass stars evolving in the AGB phases before the achievement of the C-star stage and of massive AGBs experiencing hot bottom burning are clearly separated and peculiar sources, such as post-AGB, dual-dust chemistry and iron-dust stars can be easily identified

description: Classifying and summarizing large data sets from different sky survey projects is essential for various subsequent scientific research. By combining data from 4XMM-DR13, SDSS DR18, and CatWISE, we formed an XMM-WISE-SDSS sample that included information in the X-ray, optical, and infrared bands. By cross-matching this sample with datasets from known spectral classifications from SDSS and LAMOST, we obtained a training dataset containing stars, galaxies, quasars, and Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). Two machine learning methods, CatBoost and Self-Paced Ensemble (SPE), were used to train and construct machine learning models through training sets to classify the XMM-WISE-SDSS sample. Notably, the SPE classifier showed excellent performance in YSO classification, identifying 1102 YSO candidates from 160,545 sources, including 258 known YSOs. Then we further verify whether these candidates are YSOs by the spectra in LAMOST and the identification in the SIMBAD and VizieR dabtabases. Finally there are 412 unidentified YSO candidates. The discovery of these new YSOs is an important addition to existing YSO samples and will deepen our understanding of star formation and evolution. Moreover we provided a classification catalog for the whole XMM-WISE-SDSS sample.

description: The response surface methodology was used to investigate the removal of Pb (II) from an aqueous solution using banana peel with varying operating parameters in a batch mode. The central composite design was used to study the interactive effects of the operating parameters (initial concentration, pH of the solution, adsorbent dosage and the particle size). The banana peel was characterized by FTIR which showed the functional groups, while SEM and EDS were used to study morphology and elemental composition. The optimum removal of Pb(II) was 98.146 % at initial concentration 100 mg/L, pH 5, adsorbent dosage 0.55 g and particle size 75 µm. The deviation between the experimental and the model predicted percentage removal was 5.17 %. The analysis of variance showed that the regression model was significant with a low probability and the correlation coefficient R2 value of 0.9153. The results showed that the biosorption of Pb(II) was highly influenced by the pH and the adsorbent dosage, while the particle size had little effect on the biosorption process.

description: Samples from a high-dimensional AR[1] process are observed by a sender which can communicate only finitely many bits per unit time to a receiver. The receiver seeks to form an estimate of the process value at every time instant in real-time. We consider a time-slotted communication model in a slow-sampling regime where multiple communication slots occur between two sampling instants. We propose a successive update scheme which uses communication between sampling instants to refine estimates of the latest sample and study the following question: Is it better to collect communication of multiple slots to send better refined estimates, making the receiver wait more for every refinement, or to be fast but loose and send new information in every communication opportunity? We show that the fast but loose successive update scheme with ideal spherical codes is universally optimal asymptotically for a large dimension. However, most practical quantization codes for fixed dimensions do not meet the ideal performance required for this optimality, and they typically will have a bias in the form of a fixed additive error. Interestingly, our analysis shows that the fast but loose scheme is not an optimal choice in the presence of such errors, and a judiciously chosen frequency of updates outperforms it.
title: The economics of health care rationing: an examination of alternative normative claims
Creators: name: Wailoo, Allan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis examines the economics of health-care rationing as an example of a real and substantive social choice problem. Throughout, it argues that existing approaches to the issue are not normatively appealing because the welfare-economics foundation on which they are based is exclusively consequentialist, that is, alternative states of affairs are assessed solely in terms of consequences. This is evident in health maximisation, one of the most commonly applied approaches to health-care rationing. Arguments are presented that outline reasons why consequentialism may not be an appropriate philosophical basis for decision-making in health-care and the suitability of alternative non-consequential frameworks is examined. One particular approach to nonconsequentialism, procedural preferences, is then developed in greater detail. It is argued that individuals have preferences for the methods by which decisions are made and that these preferences are derived from the inherent, as well as instrumental, value associated with alternative decision-making mechanisms. A taxonomy of procedural characteristics is developed. Supporting empirical evidence for each of these sets of arguments is derived from two postal surveys of the UK general public. Triangulation is achieved through a media analysis of UK newspaper reports. The content of reports relevant to health-care rationing were examined and coded in order to identify the frequency with which reference was made to alternative types of claims. The thesis finds that the preferences of the UK general public in relation to rationing health-care are not adequately described by approaches such as health maximisation that have been commonly employed by economists. A pluralistic approach is advocated that integrates concerns from a variety of frameworks, both consequential and non-consequential in nature.

description: We performed a multi-wavelength observation toward LkHa 101 embedded cluster and its adjacent 85arcmin*60arcmin region. The LkHa 101 embedded cluster is the first and only one significant cluster in California molecular cloud (CMC). These observations have revealed that the LkHa 101 embedded cluster is just located at the projected intersectional region of two filaments. One filament is the highest-density section of the CMC, the other is a new identified filament with a low-density gas emission. Toward the projected intersection, we find the bridging features connecting the two filaments in velocity, and identify a V-shape gas structure. These agree with the scenario that the two filaments are colliding with each other. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we measured that the RRL velocity of the LkHa 101 H II region is 0.5 km/s, which is related to the velocity component of the CMC filament. Moreover, there are some YSOs distributed outside the intersectional region. We suggest that the cloud-cloud collision together with the fragmentation of the main filament may play an important role in the YSOs formation of the cluster.

Generalized dynamical entropies in weakly chaotic systems

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A large class of technically non-chaotic systems, involving scatterings of light particles by flat surfaces with sharp boundaries, is nonetheless characterized by complex random looking motion in phase space. For these systems one may define a generalized, Tsallis type dynamical entropy that increases linearly with time. It characterizes a maximal gain of information about the system that increases as a power of time. However, this entropy cannot be chosen independently from the choice of coarse graining lengths and it assigns positive dynamical entropies also to fully integrable systems. By considering these dependencies in detail one usually will be able to distinguish weakly chaotic from fully integrable systems.

description: The high frequency (instantaneous) shear modulus of three-dimensional Yukawa systems is evaluated in a wide parameter range, from the very weakly coupled gaseous state to the strongly coupled fluid at the crystallization point (Yukwa melt). This allows us to quantify how shear rigidity develops with increasing coupling and inter-particle correlations. The radial distribution functions (RDFs) needed to calculate the excess shear modulus have been obtained from extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD results demonstrate that fluid RDFs appear quasi-universal on the curves parallel to the melting line of a Yukawa solid, in accordance with the isomorph theory of Roskilde-simple systems. This quasi-universality, allows to simplify considerably calculations of quantities involving integrals of the RDF (elastic moduli represent just one relevant example). The calculated reduced shear modulus grows linearly with the coupling parameter at weak coupling and approaches a quasi-constant asymptote at strong coupling. The asymptotic value at strong coupling is in reasonably good agreement with the existing theoretical approximation.

description: We consider a massless scalar field, conformally coupled to the Ricci scalar curvature, in the pre-inflation era of a closed FLRW Universe. The scalar field potential can be of the form of the Coleman-Weinberg one-loop potential, which is flat at the origin and drives the inflationary evolution. For positive values of the conformal parameter ξ, less than the critical value xi_c=(1/6), the model admits exact solutions with non-zero scale factor and zero initial Hubble parameter. Thus these solutions can be matched smoothly to the so called Pre-Big-Bang models. At the end of this pre-inflation era one can match inflationary solutions by specifying the form of the potential and the whole solution is of the class C^(1).

Quantification of Non-stationary Power Quality Events: A New Index Based on $\ell_p$-norm of Energy

description: The present study proposes a new index to quantify the severity of non-stationary power quality (PQ) disturbance events. In particular, the severity of PQ events is estimated from their energy distribution in temporal-frequency space. The index essentially measures the $\ell_p$-norm between the energy distributions of an event and the nominal voltage signal. The efficacy of the new index is demonstrated considering a wide class of major non-stationary PQ events, including sag, swell, interruptions, oscillatory transients, and simultaneous events. The results of this investigation, with simulated, real and experimental data, convincingly demonstrate that the proposed index is generic, monotonic, easy to interpret, and can accurately quantify the severity of non-stationary events.

description: We study the Hamiltonian formulation of Plebanski theory in both the Euclidean and Lorentzian cases. A careful analysis of the constraints shows that the system is non regular, i.e. the rank of the Dirac matrix is non-constant on the non-reduced phase space. We identify the gravitational and topological sectors which are regular sub-spaces of the non-reduced phase space. The theory can be restricted to the regular subspace which contains the gravitational sector. We explicitly identify first and second class constraints in this case. We compute the determinant of the Dirac matrix and the natural measure for the path integral of the Plebanski theory (restricted to the gravitational sector). This measure is the analogue of the Leutwyler-Fradkin-Vilkovisky measure of quantum gravity.

description: The need for a substitute for sperm whale oil and for a lubricant to replace depleting fossil fuel reserves has been a strong incentive for the development of jojoba, a plant native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. Its popularity now is based upon its ability to grow in soils of marginal fertility, needs little water, withstands salinity and seems not to need fertilizers and chemical treatments. Jojoba can be grown, but can we afford to produce a crop? How much will it cost to produce? What will it yield? What will it sell for once production increases? These are major questions. Continuing research is needed to determine optimum plant spacing, male-to-female ratios, fertilization, weed-disease-insect control, cultivation and harvesting techniques. Answers to these questions take time and continuing genetic breeding must be done before consistently high yielding can be expected. The cost of producing jojoba appears to be economically feasible now, based upon existing knowledge. Plantations now need to be developed on large enough scales to demonstrate jojoba growing feasibility. This system will provide a basis for establishing this industry in the Caribbean when the need for raw materials becomes acute.

description: Pseudohaliotrematoides zancli Yamaguti, 1968
 Pseudohaliotrematoides zancli was described by Yamaguti (1968) from the gills of Zanclus canescens (Linnaeus) (Zanclidae) from Hawaii. This species is a likely junior synonym of Haliotrema canescens (Mizelle and Price, 1964) based on the comparative morphology of the copulatory complexes. Formal proposal of synonymy will depend on further study of all species reported from Z. canescens by Mizelle and Price (1964) and Yamaguti (1968). Pseudohaliotrematoides zancli is thus considered incertae sedis.

description: Demi baculovirus, une granulose (GV) et une polyédrose nucléaire (NPV) ont été isolés parmi les pathogènes présents sur Spodoptera frugipmia 0-E. Smirh) en Guyane franfaise. Les rests réalisés au laboratoire monrrent que la granulose provoque une mortalité larvaire différée accompagnée d'une augmentarion du nombre de stades larvaires. Une réduction de consommation est observable chez les larves aneintes de cette maladie. La mortalité survient plus rapidement pour les larves atteintes de polyédrose nucléaire. Les deux germes provoquent une mor-taliré plus imponante sur des larves de jeunes stades. La présence des gt·rmes dans les conditions narurelies reste insuffisante pour réguler les populations larvaires de Spodoptua frugiperda sur prairies artificielles à Digitaria swa%ilandensis Stene, suggérant la nécessité d'une intervention eo vue de proréger cette culture. Les modes d'utilisation des deux baculovirus sont envisagés pour la lune concte Spodoptera frugiperda en prairie guyanaise.
The Solution Distribution of Influence Maximization: A High-level Experimental Study on Three Algorithmic Approaches

description: Influence maximization is among the most fundamental algorithmic problems in social influence analysis. Over the last decade, a great effort has been devoted to developing efficient algorithms for influence maximization, so that identifying the ``best'' algorithm has become a demanding task. In SIGMOD'17, Arora, Galhotra, and Ranu reported benchmark results on eleven existing algorithms and demonstrated that there is no single state-of-the-art offering the best trade-off between computational efficiency and solution quality. In this paper, we report a high-level experimental study on three well-established algorithmic approaches for influence maximization, referred to as Oneshot, Snapshot, and Reverse Influence Sampling (RIS). Different from Arora et al., our experimental methodology is so designed that we examine the distribution of random solutions, characterize the relation between the sample number and the actual solution quality, and avoid implementation dependencies. Our main findings are as follows: 1. For a sufficiently large sample number, we obtain a unique solution regardless of algorithms. 2. The average solution quality of Oneshot, Snapshot, and RIS improves at the same rate up to scaling of sample number. 3. Oneshot requires more samples than Snapshot, and Snapshot requires fewer but larger samples than RIS. We discuss the time efficiency when conditioning Oneshot, Snapshot, and RIS to be of identical accuracy. Our conclusion is that Oneshot is suitable only if the size of available memory is limited, and RIS is more efficient than Snapshot for large networks; Snapshot is preferable for small, low-probability networks.

description: We propose a method using supervised machine learning to estimate velocity fields from particle images having missing regions due to experimental limitations. As a first example, a velocity field around a square cylinder at Reynolds number of ${\rm Re}_D=300$ is considered. To train machine learning models, we utilize artificial particle images (APIs) as the input data, which mimic the images of the particle image velocimetry (PIV). The output data are the velocity fields, and the correct answers for them are given by a direct numerical simulation (DNS). We examine two types of the input data: APIs without missing regions (i.e., full APIs) and APIs with missing regions (lacked APIs). The missing regions in the lacked APIs are assumed following the exact experimental situation in our wind tunnel setup. The velocity fields estimated from both full and lacked APIs are in great agreement with the reference DNS data in terms of various statistical assessments. We further apply these machine learned models trained with the DNS data to experimental particle images so that their applicability to the exact experimental situation can be investigated. The velocity fields estimated by the machine learned models contain approximately 40 folds denser data than that with the conventional cross-correlation method. This finding suggests that we may be able to obtain finer and hidden structures of the flow field which cannot be resolved with the conventional cross-correlation method. We also found that even the complex flow structures are hidden due to the alignment of two square cylinders, the machine learned model is able to estimate the field in the missing region reasonably well. The present results indicate a great potential of the proposed machine learning based method as a new data reconstruction method for PIV.

description: The food yams can now be considered co be no more difficult to improve than many other plants. Their system of building up and accumulating useful reserves, their system of ecological adaptation as well as (heir system of genetic variations offers a sufficient range of diversity to be within the reach of selection pressures. Their sexual behaviour is progressively reset among the important species where it was deficient. Evolutive evidence and the sapogenine species experience give wide prospects for attempts of intraspecific introgression. Last but not least, through in vitro technology, new horizons are rising for the modern venture of food yam improvement
title: An Investigation into Consumer-Brand Relationships
Creators: name: Vincent, Kellie Victoria
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: An emerging perspective in marketing theoiy and practice is to consider consumers entering a range of metaphorical relationships with brands. This supersedes the concept of brand loyalty because it takes into account brand portfolios with which consumers enter relationships and does not restrict loyalty to a single brand. This thesis will build on the limited work into metaphorical brand relationships. The role of relationship marketing in building or jeopardizing relationships will be investigated. Combining the three literature streams of branding, relationship marketing and interpersonal relationship psychology provides insight into consumer behaviour. This enables brand and relationship marketing strategies to be better matched to consumers' needs. A central argument in the thesis states that to fully understand the relationship, both consumers and brands require investigation. A consumer-brand relationship theoretical model is proposed. The model consists of four elements; the consumer; the brand; the relationship and finally the context. The consumer and the brand elements are deconstructed further. On the brand side organisational culture and strategy are thought to contribute towards relationship marketing approaches and direct brand strategy. Brand strategy, positioning and personality determine the actions of the brand as a relationship partner. Consumer behaviour was attributed to their socialisation and lifestyle, self-concept and attachment style. Attachment style is the area of personality that determines behaviour within interpersonal relationships. The consumer brand relationship model was investigated through five research hypotheses. Two service industries within a case study research design were used to test the hypotheses. Although the broad consumer brand relationship model was supported, attachment style was not found to influence the quality of brand level relationships. The form of relationship marketing strategy on the other hand was found to determine the quality of relationships.

description: Self-sufficiency in rice production is one of the major objectives of government agricultural policy in the Dominican Republic. Therefore, heavy emphasis is put on double cropping, while other production systems, such as ratooning, are discouraged. In this paper traditional production systems employed by farmers in the Dominican Republic are described. It is argued, that in many cases these systems are well adapted to, or are a result of constraints in production conditions. As such, they are rational solutions co the many problems of an infrastructural nature, particularly faced by small farmers. It is suggested that under specific conditions some of the production systems may well be mote cost effective, both at a micro and macro level, than double cropping. Therefore, it is recommended to incorporate these systems into the national rice research activities.

description: We consider averaged shelling and coordination numbers of aperiodic tilings. Shelling numbers count the vertices on radial shells around a vertex. Coordination numbers, in turn, count the vertices on coordination shells of a vertex, defined via the graph distance given by the tiling. For the Ammann-Beenker tiling, we find that coordination shells consist of complete shelling orbits, which enables us to calculate averaged coordination numbers for rather large distances explicitly. The relation to topological invariants of tilings is briefly discussed.
