description: Melitz and Ottaviano’s (2008) firm-heterogeneity model predicts that trade liberalization induces a selection process from low to high productivity firms, which translates to an industry productivity growth. A similar firms’ selection effect is induced by market size. In this paper, these predictions are tested across 25 European countries and 9 food industries, over the 1995–2008 period. Using different dynamic panel estimators we find strong support for the model predictions, namely that an increase in import penetration is systematically positively related to productivity growth. The results are robust to measurement issues in productivity, controlling for market size, country and sector heterogeneities, and for the endogeneity of import competition. Interestingly, this positive relationship is almost exclusively driven by competition in final products coming from developed (especially EU-15) countries, suggesting that EU food imports are closer substitutes for domestic production than non-EU imports. These results have some potentially interesting policy implications.

description: We present the results of an independent search of all ~200,000 stars observed over the four year Kepler mission (Q1-Q17) for multiplanet systems, using a three-transit minimum detection criteria to search orbital periods up to hundreds of days. We incorporate both automated and manual triage, and provide estimates of the completeness and reliability of our vetting pipeline. Our search returned 17 planet candidates (PCs) in addition to thousands of known Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), with a 98.8% recovery rate of already confirmed planets. We highlight the discovery of one candidate, KIC-7340288 b, that is both rocky (radius < 1.6 $R_{\bigoplus}$) and in the Habitable Zone (insolation between 0.25 and 2.2 times the Earth's insolation). Another candidate is an addition to the already known KOI-4509 system. We also present adaptive optics imaging follow-up for six of our new PCs, two of which reveal a line-of-sight stellar companion within 4''.

The semantics of determiners : domain restriction in Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh
Creators: name: Gillon, Carrie Samantha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis, I investigate the properties of determiners in Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh (Squamish) Salish. Determiners in Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh behave significantly differently from the definite determiner “the” in English. Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh lacks a definite/indefiniteness distinction; all DPs can be used in both familiar and novel contexts, and are not required to refer to a unique entity. Instead, Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh determiners are split along deictic/non-deictic lines. I argue that deictic features on the determiners have consequences for the grammar in terms of (i) scope and (ii) implicature of uniqueness. If a DP is deictic, (i) it can take wide scope and (ii) any sentence containing it will carry an implicature of uniqueness. If a DP is non-deictic, (i) it must take narrow scope and (ii) any sentence containing it does not carry an implicature of uniqueness. I claim that non-deictic DPs are composed via Restrict and deictic DPs via Specify (cf. Chung and Ladusaw 2004). There is therefore no correlation between more structure and wide scope, but rather a correlation between features and wide scope. Deictic features allow DPs to take wide scope; the lack of features prevents DPs from taking wide scope. Determiners in Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh are quite different from determiners in better-known languages. Do determiners share anything in common cross-linguistically? I argue that Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh determiners and English “the” are both associated with domain restriction (cf. von Fintel 1994). Both non-deictic and deictic DPs are sensitive to the context in which they are used; in familiar contexts, they (usually) refer to the set of entities under discussion. Non-deictic DPs, which in terms of scope behave like bare nouns, must differ from bare nouns in this respect. Bare nouns (in languages which use articles) cannot be used in familiar contexts. They can only introduce new discourse referents. Non-deictic DPs can introduce new discourse referents, but can also refer to previously introduced discourse referents, and can also be used partitively. Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh determiners must be associated with domain restriction, whereas bare nouns cannot be. I propose there is a strict correlation between the syntax and semantics: if a determiner occupies D, it has domain restriction in its representation.
Would multi-peril grassland insurance improve French suckler cow farm sustainability?

description: The French government and private companies are currently working on a scheme to insure grassland production. Objectives of this study are first to analyse how grassland yield insurance would substitute to self insurance in suckler cow farms and with which effects on profit distribution, second to test effects of public supports. To meet these objectives, simulations have been performed thanks to a bio-economic model applied to French suckler cow farms. Market insurance is found to decrease profit variability in spite of simultaneous reduction of self insurance. Public supports increase expected utility. Subsidies on insurance would increase animal stocking rate.
The Good, the Bad and the Public: Effective Involvement in data-centric research

description: Bringing the public voice into frontline research is an NIHR priority. Researchers regularly acknowledge that PPIE input improves both work and outcomes. Public participants are keen to influence the direction of research. In the AI space, with its issues of contested data, trust and transparency, establishing a meaningful dialogue between different constituencies takes on special importance. So why is PPIE often bland, ineffective or just goes badly wrong? This talk was presented as part of the AIM RSF Open Invitation Seminar.

description: Serial double quantum dots created in semiconductor nanostructures provide a versatile platform for investigating two-electron spin quantum states, which can be tuned by electrostatic gating and an external magnetic field. In this work, we directly measure the supercurrent reversal between adjacent charge states of an InAs nanowire double quantum dot with superconducting leads, in good agreement with theoretical models. In the even charge parity sector, we observe a supercurrent blockade with increasing magnetic field, corresponding to the spin singlet to triplet transition. Our results demonstrate a direct spin to supercurrent conversion, the superconducting equivalent of the Pauli spin blockade. This effect can be exploited in hybrid quantum architectures coupling the quantum states of spin systems and superconducting circuits.

title: Corporate parenting: the contribution of designated teachers
Creators: name: Higgs, Jacqueline
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: This thesis explores issues concerning the education of young people in public care and some of the national initiatives that have been introduced to redress the difficulties experienced by this group; issues are within the broad area of social inclusion. The research was designed to explore the impact of the introduction of the designated teacher role in a small sample of schools in one authority (Shiretown) and the contribution of the role to corporate parenting of young people who are looked after. It was a study over two and a half years, employing case study methodology. There is a review of the relevant literature on the education of children in public care, multi-agency working, attachment and resilience theories, the roles of the school and teachers and alternative educational provision at Key Stage 4. Following this, data are presented from initial interviews with designated teachers in a small sample of secondary schools within one local education authority and from an initial survey of social workers with whom these teachers might be working. Case studies are reported, together with contextual details, to identify examples of effective collaboration or non-collaboration between Social Services and schools, focusing on the role of the designated teacher. This is examined alongside quantitative data in the form of GCSE/SATs results, as required by the Government, to indicate improvement in the educational experience of looked after children. Data are presented from interviews with a sample of young people in the schools in the study to gain their perceptions of the impact of the contribution of those involved in corporate parenting to their educational experiences. At the end of the study period, designated teachers and social workers were again interviewed and data are presented to demonstrate changes in perceptions and practice, as a result of the introduction of the initiatives to improve the educational experiences and attainment of looked after children. Following a thorough analysis of the findings, recommendations are made for effecting further improvement and areas of further research.
Towards a soft magnetoelastic twist actuator

description: Soft actuators allow to transform external stimuli to mechanical deformations. Because of their deformational response to external magnetic fields, magnetic gels and elastomers represent ideal candidates for such tasks. Mostly, linear magnetostrictive deformations, that is, elongations or contractions along straight axes are discussed in this context. In contrast to that, we here suggest to realize a twist actuator that responds by torsional deformations around the axis of the applied magnetic field. For this purpose, we theoretically investigate the overall mechanical response of a basic model system containing discrete magnetizable particles in a soft elastic matrix. Two different types of discrete particle arrangements are used as starting conditions in the nonmagnetized state. These contain globally twisted anisotropic particle arrangements on the one hand, and groups of discrete helical-like particle structures positioned side by side on the other hand. Besides the resulting twist upon magnetization, we also evaluate different other modes of deformation. Our analysis supports the construction of magnetically orientable and actuatable torsional mixing devices in fluidic applications or other types of soft actuators that initiate relative rotations between different components.

description: This work deals with methodological and empirical issues related to multiperiod optimal hedging OLS estimators. We propose an analytical formula for the multiperiod minimum variance hedging ratio starting from the triangular representation of a cointegrated system DGP. Since estimating the hedge ratio matching the frequency of data with the hedging horizon leads to a sample size reduction problem, we carry out a Monte Carlo study to investigate the pattern and hedging efficiency of OLS hedging ratio based on overlapping vs non-overlapping observations exploring a range of hedging horizons and sample sizes. Finally, we applied our approach to real data for a cross hedging related to soft wheat.

description: We present the results of deep Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of a complex merging galaxy cluster Abell 2256 (A2256) that hosts a spectacular radio relic (RR). The temperature and metallicity maps show clear evidence of a merger between the western subcluster (SC) and the primary cluster (PC). We detect five X-ray surface brightness edges. Three of them near the cluster center are cold fronts (CFs): CF1 is associated with the infalling SC; CF2 is located in the east of the PC; and CF3 is to the west of the PC core. The other two edges at cluster outskirts are shock fronts (SFs): SF1 near the RR in the NW has Mach numbers derived from the temperature and the density jumps, respectively, of $M_T=1.62\pm0.12$ and $M_ρ=1.23\pm0.06$; SF2 in the SE has $M_T=1.54\pm0.05$ and $M_ρ=1.16\pm0.13$. In the region of the RR, there is no evidence for the correlation between X-ray and radio substructures, from which we estimate an upper limit for the inverse-Compton emission, and therefore set a lower limit on the magnetic field ($\sim$ 450 kpc from PC center) of $B>1.0\ μ$G for a single power-law electron spectrum or $B>0.4\ μ$G for a broken power-law electron spectrum. We propose a merger scenario including a PC, an SC, and a group. Our merger scenario accounts for the X-ray edges, diffuse radio features, and galaxy kinematics, as well as projection effects.

description: Observations in the IJKs wave bands covering the central 20'x20' of the Local Group galaxy NGC 6822 have been performed from the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma. They have allowed us to characterize, for the first time in the near-infrared across the whole galaxy, its late-type stellar population (i.e. red giant and asymptotic giant branch stars) and to derive from the ratio between carbon-rich and oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch stars an indication about spatial variations in metallicity. These amount to about 1.89 dex, twice of what has been previously found within each Magellanic Cloud using the same technique. We have calibrated our photometry on the DENIS (I-band) and 2MASS (J and Ks bands) data and obtained a distance modulus of (m-M)_0=23.34(0.12) from the position of the tip of the RGB. The large scale distribution of late-type stars suggests that either the galaxy lies on a strongly inclined plane or it has a non-neglible thickness.

The United States faces a shortage of helping professionals in the near future, resulting in threats to the most vulnerable members of our society. Improving the retention and academic success of students enrolled in training programs for helping professional is one approach that can help ameliorate this problem. A review of the existing research on student success reveals the need for complex, contextual socio-ecological models of success that can be used to tailor academic advising and other educational interventions to improve student success. Using Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory as a framework, this paper provides the theoretical and methodological justification of a study of social work students in a rural southeastern state with some of the greatest needs for social work services in the United States. Preliminary descriptive results are provided.

description: In recent years, we observe an increase in the importance of organic production in the world. Until recently, this trend was observed only in highly developed countries now many producers of organic food comes from Asia and Africa. These changes have their base mainly on the demand for organic products and the increasing level of education concerning environmental protection and food security. The following paper presents the state of development of organic farming in the world based on data from international environmental organizations. In the paper analyzes compare areas use for organic farming between continents and also analyzed the structure of the ecological land in the world. Moreover compared number of organic farmers in particular areas, as well as briefly characterized the global market for organic food. / Synopsis.

description: Ensembles of thermostatically controlled loads (TCL) provide a significant demand response reserve for the system operator to balance power grids. However, this also results in the parasitic synchronization of individual devices within the ensemble leading to long post-demand-response oscillations in the integrated energy consumption of the ensemble. The synchronization is eventually destructed by fluctuations, thus leading to the (pre-demand response) steady state; however, this natural desynchronization, or relaxation to a statistically steady state, is too long. A resolution of this problem consists in measuring the ensemble's instantaneous consumption and using it as a feedback to stochastic switching of the ensemble's devices between on- and off- states. A simplified continuous-time model showed that carefully tuned nonlinear feedback results in a fast (super-) relaxation of the ensemble energy consumption. Since both state information and control signals are discrete, the actual TCL devices operation is space-time quantized, and this must be considered for realistic TCL ensemble modelling. Here, assuming that states are characterized by indoor temperature (quantifying comfort) and air conditioner regime (on, off), we construct a discrete model based on the probabilistic description of state transitions. We demonstrate that super-relaxation holds in such a more realistic setting, and that while it is stable against randomness in the stochastic matrix of the quantized model, it remains sensitive to the time discretization scheme. Aiming to achieve a balance between super-relaxation and customer's comfort, we analyze the dependence of super-relaxation on details of the space-time quantization, and provide a simple analytical criterion to avoid undesirable oscillations in consumption.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εμβαθύνει στις ποικίλες και εξελισσόμενες απεικονίσεις του Σωκράτη μέσα από τον φακό πολλών έργων σε διαφορετικά λογοτεχνικά και φιλοσοφικά είδη. Επισημαίνεται ο σημαντικός ρόλος του Σωκράτη στη φιλοσοφία και στην επίδραση που είχε στην αρχαία ελληνική σκέψη, παρά το γεγονός ότι δεν άφησε ο ίδιος γραπτά κείμενα. Εξετάζεται η επίδραση των κοινωνικών και πολιτικών συνθηκών της αρχαίας Αθήνας στην ανάπτυξη των ιδεών του, καθώς και η άρνησή του να προδώσει τις πεποιθήσεις του, ακόμα και με τίμημα τη ζωή του. Αρχικά, αναλύεται το έργο του Αριστοφάνη Νεφέλαι, όπου ο Σωκράτης παρουσιάζεται με σατιρικό τρόπο ως διαφθορέας των νέων, παρά το γεγονός ότι δεν δίδαξε ποτέ τη σοφιστεία, προσφέροντας μια εναλλακτική εικόνα του Σωκράτη που επικρίθηκε σκληρά για τις καινοτόμες παιδαγωγικές του μεθόδους. Εν συνεχεία, ο Βάρναλης, μέσα από το έργο του Η αληθινή απολογία του Σωκράτη, προσφέρει μια μαρξιστική προσέγγιση, αμφισβητώντας τις παραδοσιακές αντιλήψεις για τον Σωκράτη. Αντίθετα, ο Ζαλοκώστας, στη μυθιστορηματική βιογραφία του Σωκράτης: ο προφήτης της αρχαιότητας, παρουσιάζει μια πιο εξιδανικευμένη εικόνα του φιλοσόφου, αναδεικνύοντας τον ως «πρώτο Χριστό». Έπειτα, στο έργο Τα τέκνα της Αθηνάς: ένας φανταστικός διάλογος ανάμεσα στον Σωκράτη και τον Θεμιστοκλή του Παναγιώτη Αδάμου αναλύονται καίρια φιλοσοφικά ερωτήματα, προσφέροντας στον αναγνώστη μια θεατρική προσέγγιση των ιδεών του Σωκράτη. Στο έργο του François Roustang Το μυστικό του Σωκράτη για την αλλαγή της ζωής, ο Σωκράτης παρουσιάζεται ως ο πρώτος πραγματικός θεραπευτής υπό την οπτική της ψυχανάλυσης, εστιάζοντας στις αρχές της αυτοεξέτασης και της ηθικής ζωής, οι οποίες υπήρξαν καίριες για την ανάπτυξη της κριτικής σκέψης και της προσωπικής ανάπτυξης. Τέλος, η εργασία προβαίνει σε συγκριτολογική ανάλυση των λογοτεχνικών και φιλοσοφικών απεικονίσεων του Σωκράτη. Εξετάζει τα κοινά θέματα και τις μεθόδους διερεύνησης της φιλοσοφικής του σκέψης, την αφοσίωσή του στην αναζήτηση της αλήθειας και της αρετής και τη διαχρονική σημασία των ιδεών του. Η εργασία καταλήγει στο συμπέρασμα ότι ο Σωκράτης παραμένει ένα θέμα αιώνιας γοητείας, προσκαλώντας σε συνεχή επανερμηνεία και επαναξιολόγηση.

description: All activities concerning the development of dispersed generation and prosumer energy are a significant component of sustainable development of rural areas. Wise and effective use of energy should be conducive to the social and economic boost in those areas, as well as an improvement in environmental benefits and the quality of life of their residents. Investments in renewable energy mean a decrease in the negative impact upon the environment (degradation of soil and landscape, pollution emission, generation of waste). A research analysis was conducted, based on the results of the survey research done in April 2014 among agricultural and environmental advisors from Pomorskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie Provinces. According to the surveyed, both the conditions of the energy infrastructure and the level of energy supply in the country are low. Although the increase in participation of RES in Poland is lower than in the EU, it does bring vast possibilities for the protection of environmental benefits of rural areas. / Synopsis. Działania dotyczące rozwoju energetyki rozproszonej i prosumenckiej stanowią znaczący element zrównoważonego rozwoju obszarów wiejskich. Mądre i efektywne wykorzystywanie energii winno się bowiem opierać na zasadach zrównoważonego rozwoju i sprzyjać rozkwitowi społeczno- gospodarczemu tych terenów, a także poprawie walorów środowiskowych i jakości życia mieszkańców. Inwestycje w energetykę odnawialną wiążą się z obniżeniem ujemnego wpływu na środowisko (degradacji gleb i krajobrazu, emisji zanieczyszczeń, powstawania odpadów). Analizę badawczą dokonano na podstawie wyników badań ankietowych, które zostały przeprowadzone w kwietniu 2014 roku wśród doradców rolnych i rolno środowiskowych z województw kujawsko- pomorskiego i pomorskiego. W opinii badanych, zarówno stan infrastruktury energetycznej, jak i poziom usług energetycznych na wsi jest niski. Chociaż wzrost udziału energii z OZE w Polsce jest niższy, niż w UE, to jednak niesie ze sobą ogromne możliwości dla ochrony środowiskowych walorów obszarów wiejskich.

description: The EU and the USA remain the largest exporters of agri-food products. Protection of the environment and production potential of the areas used for agriculture have long been of interest in the EU and the USA. The need to ensure the capacity of agriculture facing climate change increases the importance of the environmental aspects of agricultural policy. Therefore, it must be determined how agricultural policies take into account environmental issues and whether it meets the needs of both the agriculture and the environment. The purpose of this article is to present the differences and similarities concerning the environmental aspects of the EU and US agricultural policies and to assess the impact of the solutions on the agricultural sector and the environment. Article based on an analysis of instruments used and the data on the scale of the support and the implementation of the various instruments. / Synopsis. UE i USA pozostają największymi eksporterami produktów rolno-spożywczych. Kwestie ochrony środowiska i zabezpieczenia potencjału produkcyjnego obszarów wykorzystywanych rolniczo są od dawna przedmiotem zainteresowania w UE i USA. Konieczność zapewnienie zdolności produkcyjnej rolnictwa w obliczu zmian klimatycznych powoduje, iż aspekty środowiskowe polityki rolnej nabierają coraz większego znaczenia. W związku z tym należy określić, na ile polityka rolna największych eksporterów produktów tego sektora uwzględnia kwestie środowiskowe i czy odpowiada to potrzebom rolnictwa i środowiska naturalnego. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie różnic i podobieństw dotyczących środowiskowych aspektów polityki rolnej UE i USA oraz ocena wpływu przyjętych rozwiązań na sektor rolny i środowisko naturalne. Artykuł opiera się na analizie instrumentarium oraz danych o skali wsparcia i zakresie wdrożenia poszczególnych instrumentów.

description: The enzyme Asparaginyl Endopeptidase (AEP) is associated with proteinopathy-related pathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Frontal Temporal Dementia (FTD). The onset of pathologies by AEP is due to cleaved fragments forming protein aggregates resulting in neurodegeneration. Unfortunately, there are no clinically approved small molecule inhibitors for AEP, and therefore, it serves as an unmet medical need for the design and development of potential novel small molecules. In developing potential inhibitors for proteolytic activity, a structured approach utilizing structure-based computer-aided drug design (SB-CADD) parameters was employed. This involved virtual high throughput screening (vHTS) across various CNS-focused databases enriched with diverse functionality. We identified the top sixty ligands based on the glide XP-docking score out of 10 million ligands. The free binding energy was then calculated using MM-GBSA for all top selected molecules which resulted in discovering that AEPI-1 to AEPI-6 (Asparaginyl Endopeptidase inhibitors) displayed high affinity towards the catalytic triad. Further investigation determined that all top six hits form stable complexes during 50 ns molecular dynamic simulations. We also observed that AEPI-2 demonstrated the highest stability within the binding pockets. Post-MD analyses such as DCCM, PCA, PDF, and ADMET properties were also evaluated. By bridging all the observations, we observed these six molecules occupy the active site of the β-helix (β1, β3, and β4) of the S1 pocket and additional binding sites in α1 and β5, suggesting its suitability as a potential candidate for drug discovery against Asparaginyl Endopeptidase.

description: We explicitly derive collective field theory description for the system of fermions in the harmonic potential. This field theory appears to be a coupled system of free scalar and (modified) Liouville field. This theory should be considered as an exact bosonization of the system of non-relativistic fermions in the harmonic potential. Being surprisingly similar to the world-sheet formulation of c=1 string theory, this theory has quite different physical features and it is conjectured to give space-time description of the string theory, dual to the fermions in the harmonic potential. A vertex operator in this theory is shown to be a field theoretical representation of the local fermion operator, thus describing a D0 brane in the string language. Possible generalization of this result and its derivation for the case of c=1 string theory (fermions in the inverse harmonic potential) is discussed.

description: Pork meat plays an important role in the Polish, European and global market. In the article volume of swines’ production, consumption of pork and also the data connected with export and import this kind of meat in 2000-2012 were characterized. In 2012 pork production occupied a dominant position in the global meat market (110,8 mln ton), in Poland pork production was just behind poultry (2,2 mln ton). In the analyzed period, the structure of pork consumption was relatively stable and in 2000 was 39,2 kg /person, and in 2012 39,0 kg/person. In 2012 the significant foreign demand on pork has contributed to the growth of exports of swine meat from Poland. In that year, exports of livestock, meat and meat products was 588,4 thousand tons and in comparison with the previous year increased by approximately 14,5%. Import has increased during this period by approximately 9,8%. / Synopsis. Mięso wieprzowe odgrywa kluczową rolę na polskim, europejskim, jak i światowym rynku mięsa. W artykule scharakteryzowano zmiany wielkości produkcji trzody chlewnej, spożycia mięsa wieprzowego, a także jego eksportu i importu w latach 2000-2012. Na światowym rynku mięsa w roku 2012 wieprzowina zajmowała pierwsze miejsce pod względem wielkości produkcji (110,8 mln ton), natomiast w Polsce plasowała się na drugim miejscu – za mięsem drobiowym (2,2 mln ton). W analizowanym okresie wieprzowina była najchętniej spożywana wśród wszystkich gatunków mięsa, a jej spożycie utrzymywało się na stabilnym poziomie i wynosiło w 2000 roku 39,2 kg/osobę, a w 2012 roku – 39,0 kg/osobę. W 2012 r. znaczący popyt zagraniczny na mięso wieprzowe przyczynił się do wzrostu jego eksportu z Polski. W roku tym eksport żywca, mięsa i jego przetworów wynosił 588,4 tys. ton i w porównaniu z rokiem poprzednim wzrósł o ok. 14,5%. Natomiast import zwiększył się w tym czasie o około 9,8 %.
