description: The study was initiated with the objectives of elucidating and analyzing potentials, weaknesses, opportunities, constraints and policy options in the development of feed crop farming with an emphasis on secondary crops in Southeast Asian developing countries. In Malaysia, feed crops currently not much to employment, income generation, import substitution and export promotion because the sub-sector is small. The scope of the study is limited to the dominant non-ruminant sector of the livestock industry. This sector, particularly poultry and swine, has not only experienced rapid growth but also produces more than is required for domestic consumption and thus exports to neighbouring countries.

description: Lately, it has been suggested that strange (quark) stars can be responsible for glitches and other observational features of pulsars. Some discussions on whether quark stars, if really exist, are bare or crusted are also a source of controversy in the recent literature. In the present work we use the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, known to incorporate chiral symmetry, necessarily present in the QCD formalism, in order to describe quark star properties. We compare our results for the stars and the features of the model with the much simpler model normally used in the description of strange stars, namely the MIT bag model. We also investigate the differences in the stellar properties which arise due to the presence of the crust. We show that the NJL model produces results which are somewhat different as compared with the MIT model.

description: This second phase of the study is expected to produce actual and accurate information concerning socio-economic information and measures to cope with the El Nino effects at the farm level. Evidence of abnormal weather was apparent in Thailand in 2001 when the rain was less than the previous years' and the high temperatures were from January to March 2002. However, the rain came early in May 2002. Thus, the period of 2001 is suitable to represent an abnormal year for the study of the second phase of the project. The objectives of the second phase are to analyze and evaluate drought impacts at farm-household level, farmer's responses and government measures to overcome the problems. The research was conducted in two different provinces, namely Lop Buri in the Central Plains and Nakhon Ratchasima in the Northeast Plateau, where the effects of abnormal weather were experienced in 2001. The emphasis of this study is on production, cropping systems, household characteristics, farmer's attitudes toward measures and mechanisms to solve the problems, and food security at household and community levels.

The academy in 2005-2015 : a web-based Delphi study
Creators: name: Kennedy, Kathryn Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In just over a decade the growing use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has caused systemic change in business, communication and financial enterprises. National boundaries have become increasingly transparent and now ICT have the potential to alter higher education institutions dramatically. The purpose of this study was to solicit views from an international panel of experts who provide a broad look at the North American academy as it may be during 2005 to 2015. A distinguished panel forecasts the impact due to internal and external influences of ICT. The research is carried out using web-based Delphi procedures designed to solicit the opinions of three types of experts and determine the level of consensus among them on issues panelists raise about likely influences of ICT. Based on these data the study arrives at the panel's perspective of how higher education might be transformed because of these technologies and some conclusions are drawn. Scholars, educational administrators and ICT professionals, recruited globally, took part in three iterations of web-based Delphi questionnaires. Online feedback from Rounds 2 and 3 gives histograms showing the three subgroups' interquartiles, means, SDs and commentary. The analysis of Round 3 (N=54) is used in reporting results. Ninety-eight percent of the 85 items achieve consensus on importance and that outcomes are likely to occur before 2010 in North America. Consensus is achieved on the probability of 64 items (75 percent of total number of items); 9 of these items rate a low probability of occurrence. Areas of non-consensus are identified for further research. Fourteen themes emerge under three broad issues: Institutional, Faculty and Staff, and Educational. Web-based instruments were innovated for the research and are on the CD-ROM. According to this panel the academy will be markedly different during 2005 to 2015. Student populations will have expanded and changed, as will the faculty culture and professorial roles. Universities and colleges will reorganize in response to ICT as high quality, online education moves to the core of on-campus learning. A mixed-mode of face-to-face and online education is predicted as the distinctions between on- and off-campus education blur. Well-financed consortia of universities/corporations operating globally are forecast and will grow to dominate large sections of online education. By 2005 to 2015 the reputation of a university will have as much to do with the activities of its professors on the web as with scholarship, research and service on-campus.

description: We have investigated the origin of the large increase in spin-echo decay rates for the $^{77}$Se nuclear spins at temperatures near to $T=30K$ in the organic superconductor (TMTSF)$_2$ClO$_4$. The measured angular dependence of $T_2^{-1}$ demonstrates that the source of the spin-echo decays lies with carrier density fluctuations rather than fluctuations in TMTSF molecular orientation. The very long time scales are directly associated with the dynamics of the anion ordering occurring at $T=25K$, and the inhomogeneously broadened spectra at lower temperatures result from finite domain sizes. Our results are similar to observations of line-broadening effects associated with charge-ordering transitions in quasi-two dimensional organic conductors.

description: We perform a detailed analysis for the asymptotic behaviour for the multi-scalar field Chiral cosmological scenario. We present the asymptotic behaviour for the one-field, two-fields and three-fields Chiral models. From these results, and deriving conserved quantities, we present a Theorem for the $N$-fields model for the Chiral model with $N$--fields. We find that the maximum number of scalar fields which provide interesting physical results is two-fields, while for $N>2$ the new stationary points are only of mathematical interest since they do not describe new exact solutions different from those recovered for $N=2$.

description: We present RBC heavy-light meson spectroscopy with quenched DBW2 gauge configurations at lattice cutoff of about 3 GeV. Both heavy and light quarks are described by domain-wall fermions (DWF). The heavy quark mass ranges between 0.1 and 0.4 lattice units, covering charm. The light quark mass ranges between 0.008 and 0.04, covering strange. In particular, we discuss charmed (D and D*) and charm-strange (Ds and DsJ) mesons with spin-parity JP= 0+/- and 1+/-. The preliminary results indicate that DWF describe charm on the quenched DBW2 ensemble at this cutoff. The masses of the JP=0+/- and 1+/- D, D*, Ds and DsJ meson states are well reproduced to within a few %; their parity splitting, DeltaJ, are better reproduced than previous works, with only 10-20 % over estimations; the experimental observation that the splitting for non-strange states is bigger than that for strange states is reproduced as well; but the hyperfine splittings are only 60-65 % reproduced. Regarding the depenence on heavy quark mass, J=0 and J=1 parity splittings are degenerate for heavy quark mass heavier than 0.2-0.3 lattice units a; the J=0 parity splitting increases as the heavy quark mass decreases further while the J=1 splitting does not.

We present the classical canonical formalism and address with particular care the boundary terms in the action. We give the general relation between dust time and Killing time. Employing a lattice regularization, we then derive and discuss for particular factor orderings exact solutions to all quantum constraints.

description: This study was conducted under the CGPRT sponsored project on "Prospects of Feed Crops in South Asia-Pakistan (Feed)" to generate information on historical dynamics, future trends of demand and supply for feed crops/products, evaluation of potentials, weaknesses, opportunities and constraints for expanding feed crop farming in Pakistan, proposing possible schemes for trade and development of feed crops among Asian countries and the formulation of policy options to promote sustainable development of feed crop farming in Pakistan. In Pakistan, feed crops, which are being used in livestock and poultry feeding as grains, are mainly wheat, maize, sorghum and millet. These cereal crops are basically grown to meet human dietary requirements with a primary focus on wheat and rice. The milling by-products of wheat and rice i.e. brans, rice polish and rice tips are used in animal feeding. This study concludes that to achieve self-sufficiency in feed crops, there is a strong need to accelerate research and development to evolve appropriate and cost effective technologies.

description: Enhanced Coulomb interactions in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides cause tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) which dominate their linear and nonlinear optical response. The latter includes bleaching, energy renormalizations, and higher-order Coulomb correlation effects like biexcitons and excitation-induced dephasing (EID). While the first three are extensively studied, no theoretical footing for EID in exciton dominated semiconductors is available so far. In this study, we present microscopic calculations based on excitonic Heisenberg equations of motion and identify the coupling of optically pumped excitons to exciton-exciton scattering continua as the leading mechanism responsible for an optical power dependent linewidth broadening (EID) and sideband formation. Performing time-, momentum-, and energy-resolved simulations, we quantitatively evaluate the EID for the most common monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides and find an excellent agreement with recent experiments.

description: In many developing countries, environmental issues are often sacrificed for immediate food production requirements because of perceived tradeoff between two. Some production systems exist however that offers opportunities for achieving the two seemingly divergent objectives because they have the characteristics to produce joint outputs; food production and environmental conservation, but their adoption in farming communities is socially sub-optimal despite proven technological success. Using natural resource economics framework, this study highlights the reasons for the low adoption of such technologies taking Agroforestry technologies as a case study and, uses externality theory to provide environmental economic logic for developing incentives to internalize environmental services "produced" to enhance their adoption and unlock their potential to satisfy both food production and delivery of environmental services for the benefit of the wider public. Taking Agroforestry as a case study, this paper examines environmental conservation through sustainable agriculture development lens and, concludes by outlining strategies for achieving this, taking cognizance of the socio-economic context of farmers in low income countries.

description: We propose a new mechanism for surface-induced magnetic anisotropy to explain the thickness-dependence of the Kondo resistivity of thin films of dilute magnetic alloys. The surface anisotropy energy, generated by spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic impurity itself, is an oscillating function of the distance d from the surface and decays as 1/d^2. Numerical estimates based on simple models suggest that this mechanism, unlike its alternatives, gives rise to an effect of the desired order of magnitude.

description: In this paper we derive the gravitational wave stochastic background from tidal disruption events (TDEs). We focus on both the signal emitted by main sequence stars disrupted by super-massive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxy nuclei, and on that from disruptions of white dwarfs by intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) located in globular clusters. We show that the characteristic strain $h_{\rm c}$'s dependence on frequency is shaped by the pericenter distribution of events within the tidal radius, and under standard assumptions $h_{\rm c} \propto f^{-1/2}$. This is because the TDE signal is a burst of gravitational waves at the orbital frequency of the closest approach. In addition, we compare the background characteristic strains with the sensitivity curves of the upcoming generation of space-based gravitational wave interferometers: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), TianQin, ALIA, the DECI-hertz inteferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) and the Big Bang Observer (BBO). We find that the background produced by main sequence stars might be just detected by BBO in its lowest frequency coverage, but it is too weak for all the other instruments. On the other hand, the background signal from TDEs with white dwarfs will be within reach of ALIA, and especially of DECIGO and BBO, while it is below the LISA and TianQin sensitive curves. This background signal detection will not only provide evidence for the existence of IMBHs up to redshift $z\sim 3$, but it will also inform us on the number of globular clusters per galaxy and on the occupation fraction of IMBHs in these environments.

description: This paper investigates preferences for various environment-friendly production system for carrots using discretechoice multi-attribute stated-preference data amongst buyers and explore the effect of collective reputations from growers of an Alpine valley known to be completely dedicated to organic production. Results show that buyers distinctly recognize only organic production as a production system different from the conventional one, and there is some evidence of recognition of collective reputation. As well as for marginal utility of income, substantial unobserved heterogeneity is found for many skin imperfections, origin from the organic Alpine valley and the organic production methods. The implied sample distributions of WTP for each of these random attributes are then compared.

Monte Carlo simulations have been used to obtain the order parameter and the values for the energy and entropy in the ground state and also the transition temperatures. Excellent agreement is found between the simulated and analytic results. We find one region where there are two phase transitions with the lines meeting in a triple point. The orbital ordering that occurs in $LaMnO_3$ occurs as one of the ordered phases.

description: We discuss a particularly symmetric model of neutrino mixings where, with good accuracy, the atmospheric mixing angle theta_{23} is maximal, theta_{13}=0 and the solar angle satisfies sin^2(theta_{12})=1/3 (Harrison-Perkins-Scott (HPS) matrix). The discrete symmetry A_4 is a suitable symmetry group for the realization of this type of model. We construct a model where the HPS matrix is exactly obtained in a first approximation without imposing ad hoc relations among parameters. The crucial issue of the required VEV alignment in the scalar sector is discussed and we present a natural solution of this problem based on a formulation with extra dimensions. We study the corrections from higher dimensionality operators allowed by the symmetries of the model and discuss the conditions on the cut-off scales and the VEVs in order for these corrections to be completely under control. Finally, the observed hierarchy of charged lepton masses is obtained by assuming a larger flavour symmetry. We also show that, under general conditions, a maximal theta_{23} can never arise from an exact flavour symmetry.

description: Laotian rice producers in upland areas experience highly fluctuating yields and production and producers in wet season rice areas in the southern region face high price risk. This paper examines the exposure to risk of producers in both regions facing changes in water supplies. A supply and demand model of rice in Laos, considering water supply changes, is developed and stochastic elements are added to the model to represent uncertainty in climatic variables. Furthermore, the risks associated with price and production fluctuation are evaluated by using the differences between market and certainty equivalent prices. The results show that the coefficient of variation of production is higher in upland rice than wet and dry season rice, i.e., 0.3226, and if the fluctuation of water supply increases 20%, the coefficient of variation of production will increase about 20% for all type of rice cultivation. In the case of expanding water supply fluctuations, potentially due to climatic change, the price risk of wet season rice will increase from 48.5 kip to 150.8 kip while that of upland and dry season rice will increase from 66.4 kip to 94.9 kip and 14.3 kip to 20.5 kip respectively. Examining provincial price risk of wet season rice, the differences between market and certainty equivalent prices are 56.3 kip and 33.9 kip in Champasack and Attapeu provinces. The regions or provinces which suffer highly fluctuating production and price risk may need to consider alternative water management and harvesting methods.

description: We introduce Post-DAE, a post-processing method based on denoising autoencoders (DAE) to improve the anatomical plausibility of arbitrary biomedical image segmentation algorithms. Some of the most popular segmentation methods (e.g. based on convolutional neural networks or random forest classifiers) incorporate additional post-processing steps to ensure that the resulting masks fulfill expected connectivity constraints. These methods operate under the hypothesis that contiguous pixels with similar aspect should belong to the same class. Even if valid in general, this assumption does not consider more complex priors like topological restrictions or convexity, which cannot be easily incorporated into these methods. Post-DAE leverages the latest developments in manifold learning via denoising autoencoders. First, we learn a compact and non-linear embedding that represents the space of anatomically plausible segmentations. Then, given a segmentation mask obtained with an arbitrary method, we reconstruct its anatomically plausible version by projecting it onto the learnt manifold. The proposed method is trained using unpaired segmentation mask, what makes it independent of intensity information and image modality. We performed experiments in binary and multi-label segmentation of chest X-ray and cardiac magnetic resonance images. We show how erroneous and noisy segmentation masks can be improved using Post-DAE. With almost no additional computation cost, our method brings erroneous segmentations back to a feasible space.

description: We provide the first age estimates for two recently discovered white dwarf-red subdwarf systems, LHS 193AB and LHS 300AB. These unusual systems provide a new opportunity for linking the reliable age estimates for the white dwarfs to the (measurable) metallicities of the red subdwarfs. We have obtained precise photometry in the $V_{J}R_{KC}I_{KC}JH$ bands and spectroscopy covering from 6000Åto 9000Åfor the two new systems, as well as for a comparison white dwarf-main sequence red dwarf system, GJ 283 AB. Using model grids available in the literature, we estimate the cooling age as well as temperature, surface gravity, mass, progenitor mass and {\it total} lifetimes of the white dwarfs. The results indicate that the two new systems are probably ancient thick disk objects with ages of at least 6-9 Gyr. We also conduct searches of red dwarf and white dwarf compendia from SDSS data and the L{é}pine Shara Proper Motion (LSPM) catalog for additional common proper motion white dwarf-red subdwarf systems. Only seven new candidate systems are found, which indicates the rarity of these systems.

description: Current research on systems and synthetic biology relies heavily on mathematical models of the systems under study. The usefulness of such models depends on the quantity and quality of biological data, and on the availability of appropriate modelling formalisms that can gather and accommodate such data so that they can be exploited properly. Given our incomplete knowledge of biological systems and the fact that they consist of many subsystems, biological data are usually uncertain and heterogeneous. These facts hinder the use of mathematical models and computational methods. In the scope of dynamic biological systems, e.g. metabolic networks, this difficulty can be overcome by the novel modelling formalism of flexible nets (FNs). We show that an FN can combine, in a natural way, a stoichiometric model and a kinetic model. Moreover, the resulting net admits nonlinear dynamics and can be analysed in both transient and steady states.

description: This paper discusses traceability as part of information management in fruit supply chains of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. A review of the rules in use for traceability distinguishes between a proper traceability and a traceability plus (T+), embedded of many value attributes. Elements of competitive strategy, considered in the analysis of fruit supply chins of Emilia-Romagna, try to demonstrate that not only strategic but also operative choices determine the way a single firm or filiere manages traceability and information issues. Applications of such elements to buyers and sellers selection as well as to competing retailers of fruit supply chain, verify the hypothesis.

description: We poorly understand the properties of amorphous systems at small length scales, where a continuous elastic description breaks down. This is apparent when one considers their vibrational and transport properties, or the way forces propagate in these solids. Little is known about the microscopic cause of their rigidity. Recently it has been observed numerically that an assembly of elastic particles has a critical behavior near the jamming threshold where the pressure vanishes. At the transition such a system does not behave as a continuous medium at any length scales. When this system is compressed, scaling is observed for the elastic moduli, the coordination number, but also for the density of vibrational modes. In the present work we derive theoretically these results, and show that they apply to various systems such as granular matter and silica, but also to colloidal glasses. In particular we show that: (i) these systems present a large excess of vibrational modes at low frequency in comparison with normal solids, called the "boson peak" in the glass literature. The corresponding modes are very different from plane waves, and their frequency is related to the system coordination; (ii) rigidity is a non-local property of the packing geometry, characterized by a length scale which can be large. For elastic particles this length diverges near the jamming transition; (iii) for repulsive systems the shear modulus can be much smaller than the bulk modulus. We compute the corresponding scaling laws near the jamming threshold. Finally, we discuss the applications of these results to the glass transition, the transport, and the geometry of the random close packing.
