description: Across the country many people engage in recreational boating. In 2008 there were over 12 million registered recreational boats in the United States, and nearly 8% of these were in Florida (US Coast Guard, 2008). Launching boats from publically available ramps is one of the primary methods of marine access. Within Florida, nearly 25% of all boating related trips in 2007 involved launching a trailered boat from a publically available ramp (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation [FWC], 2009). With hundreds of thousands of boating trips from dozens of publically accessible ramps, Lee County planners need analytical tools to understand demand and consumer surplus to assist them in evaluating new and enhanced launch facilities. To accomplish this, we developed recreational demand models based on the random utility model (RUM) approach to travel cost modeling in the presence of multiple possible substitute sites. The model was specified as a nested-logit RUM where boaters choose a combination of ramp and on-the-water destination with a nest for ramps and a nest for the water sites available from each ramp. The RUM applies to boaters that trailer boats to ramps that are publicly accessible. Lee County has 35 such ramps -- most are publicly owned but some are private with fee-based public access. The demand model provides a tool for evaluating investments in boating infrastructure. The tool was applied to assess the benefits of potential policy scenarios facing Lee County planners. The three scenarios were: adding an additional access point, improving some access points by enlarging the parking lots, and removing an access point. Benefits were aggregated by combining per-choice occasion benefits with total trips to Lee County. The aggregated present values of social benefits ranged from $4 to $17 million dollars. Thus, the boating demand model serves as a tool to improve the efficiency of investments in the maintenance and supply of boating infrastructure.

description: Combustion-generated pollutants, principally those from solid-fuels including biomass and coal when cooking and heating, bring out a significant public health hazard in both developed and developing countries. Most of the existing studies addressing this issue focus on developing countries, and on exposure when cooking rather than heating. By using Kentucky rural data, this research explores the health risk associated with heating fuel choice. Given the simultaneity between heating fuel choice and prevalence of asthma and allergy, we obtain the instrumental variable (IV) estimate for Logit models through the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). After correcting for simultaneity bias, we do not find strong evidence supporting the causal relationship between polluting heating use and the prevalence of asthma, allergy, and other respiratory disease. Some demographic and lifestyle factors do have significant effects on the prevalence of these diseases.

description: Recent research advances in salient object detection (SOD) could largely be attributed to ever-stronger multi-scale feature representation empowered by the deep learning technologies. The existing SOD deep models extract multi-scale features via the off-the-shelf encoders and combine them smartly via various delicate decoders. However, the kernel sizes in this commonly-used thread are usually "fixed". In our new experiments, we have observed that kernels of small size are preferable in scenarios containing tiny salient objects. In contrast, large kernel sizes could perform better for images with large salient objects. Inspired by this observation, we advocate the "dynamic" scale routing (as a brand-new idea) in this paper. It will result in a generic plug-in that could directly fit the existing feature backbone. This paper's key technical innovations are two-fold. First, instead of using the vanilla convolution with fixed kernel sizes for the encoder design, we propose the dynamic pyramid convolution (DPConv), which dynamically selects the best-suited kernel sizes w.r.t. the given input. Second, we provide a self-adaptive bidirectional decoder design to accommodate the DPConv-based encoder best. The most significant highlight is its capability of routing between feature scales and their dynamic collection, making the inference process scale-aware. As a result, this paper continues to enhance the current SOTA performance. Both the code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/wuzhenyubuaa/DPNet.

Tau decay into $ν_τ$ and $a_1(1260)$, $b_1(1235)$, and two $K_1(1270)$

description: We study the $τ\to ν_τA$ decay, with $A$ an axial-vector meson. We produce the $a_1(1260)$ and $b_1(1235)$ resonances in the Cabibbo favored mode and two $K_1(1270)$ states in the Cabibbo suppressed mode. We take advantage of previous chiral unitary approach results where these resonances appear dynamically from the vector and pseudoscalar meson interaction in s-wave. Actually two different poles were obtained associated to the $K_1(1270)$ quantum numbers. We find that the unmeasured rates for $b_1(1235)$ production are similar to those of the $a_1(1260)$ and for the two $K_1$ states we suggest to separate the present information on the $\bar K ππ$ invariant masses into $\bar K^* π$ and $ρK$ modes, the channels to which these two resonances couple most strongly, predicting that these modes peak at different energies and have different widths. These measurements should shed light on the existence of these two $K_1$ states.

description: We show that the higher moments of the evolution obtained from the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation may be regarded as spurious higher order terms in perturbation theory, and that neglecting them leads to a good description of the data around and above the peak in $ξ=\ln (1/x)$. Furthermore, we use this study of the moments to show that at high energy the Limiting Spectrum with Local Parton-Hadron Duality may also be derived from the Modified Leading Logarithm Approximation without any non-perturbative assumptions.

The new protocols require tunable inter-qubit couplings but, in return, show a significant improvements in the quality of gate operations. Our optimization procedure can be further extended to the combinations of elementary two-qubit as well as irreducible many-qubit gates.

description: A Língua Brasileira de Sinais – Libras1 tem ganho cada vez mais visibilidade, assim como as pessoas surdas. Tal fenómeno é justificado a partir das políticas públicas implementas, que surgiram diante das lutas de grupos e movimentos sociais, que passaram por diversos contextos educacionais ao longo da história, como: a educação especial, educação inclusiva e hoje a educação bilíngue para surdos. E embora haja diversos dispositivos legais e políticas que fomentem o uso e difusão da Libras, ainda não temos uma oferta satisfatória em âmbito nacional como componente curricular. Então, a partir da demanda pelo uso e ensino da Libras para todos, foi realizado um trabalho de ensino de Libras, como segunda língua, para crianças ouvintes em uma Unidade Municipal de Educação Infantil no município de São Gonçalo, no estado do Rio de Janeiro – Brasil. Muitas crianças surdas estão hoje em escolas inclusivas, muita das vezes sem professores bilíngues, intérpretes ou profissionais que saibam comunicar- se com elas. Além disso, na educação infantil, como em qualquer outra etapa, é necessário que haja interação entre pares, para potencializar o processo de aquisição da linguagem.

description: We perform a sequence of binary black hole simulations with increasingly small mass ratios, reaching to a 128:1 binary that displays 13 orbits before merger. Based on a detailed convergence study of the $q=m_1/m_2=1/15$ nonspinning case, we apply additional mesh refinements levels around the smaller hole horizon to reach successively the $q=1/32$, $q=1/64$, and $q=1/128$ cases. Roughly a linear computational resources scaling with $1/q$ is observed on 8-nodes simulations. We compute the remnant properties of the merger: final mass, spin, and recoil velocity, finding precise consistency between horizon and radiation measures. We also compute the gravitational waveforms: its peak frequency, amplitude, and luminosity. We compare those values with predictions of the corresponding phenomenological formulas, reproducing the particle limit within 2%, and we then use the new results to improve their fitting coefficients.

Publisher: name: University of East London, Cass School of Education and Communities
Year: 2014

description: This article covers background to the Physical Education National Curriculum and assessment changes in England from September 2014. It outlines the reasons for change and why a focus on assessment for learning is potentially a good move for the English education system. A discussion follows on how assessment within the new curriculum framework may look in Secondary Physical Education at Key Stage 3 (11–14 years old). Ideas for reporting assessment are proposed to help physical education teachers start to develop their own robust and manageable assessment system
Measurement of the molecular dipole moment and the hyperfine and $Λ$-doublet splittings of the $B^3Π_1$ state of thallium fluoride

description: We report high-precision measurements on the thallium fluoride $\tilde{J} = 1$ hyperfine manifold of the $B^3Π_1$ ($ν= 0$) state. This state is of special interest because it is central to an optical cycling scheme that is envisioned to play an important role in enhancing the sensitivity of the CeNTREX nuclear Schiff-moment experiment presently under construction. The measurements are made by monitoring the fluorescence induced by narrow-band laser excitation of a cryogenic molecular beam. We use a multipass arrangement of the laser beam to enhance fluorescence. When viewed with a camera, we can spatially resolve images from adjacent passes that approach the molecules from opposing directions. These images yield a sensitive visual method to identify the central frequency of a transition. Coupling these line-center determinations with frequency calibration from an acousto-optic modulator has allowed a more precise determination of the $\tilde{J} = 1$ manifold of hyperfine level splittings. We observe Stark shifts of the $\tilde{J} = 1$ levels and infer a permanent electric dipole moment of 2.28(7) D and $Λ$-doublet splittings for the $F_1' = 1/2$ and $F_1' = 3/2$ manifolds of 14.4(9) MHz and 17.4(11) MHz, respectively.

description: In this article Diane Mayer argues that professional standards for teaching and authentic assessment against those standards provide a framing for sustaining the professionalism of teacher education wherein teacher educators control the accountability agenda assuring the profession, governments and the general public of the quality of the graduates they prepare. Currently Pro Vice-Chancellor at Victoria University (Australia), Professor Diane Mayer has more than 20 years of experience in leadership positions across a number of institutions including Deakin University (Melbourne, Australia), the University of California at Berkeley (USA) and the University of Queensland (Australia). Professor Mayer’s research focuses on teacher education and beginning teaching. She examines issues associated with the professionalism of teaching and what that means for the policy and practice of teacher education and beginning teaching.
Correlation length facilitates Voigt wave propagation

description: Under certain circumstances, Voigt waves can propagate in a biaxial composite medium even though the component material phases individually do not support Voigt wave propagation. This phenomenon is considered within the context of the strong--permittivity--fluctuation theory. A generalized implementation of the theory is developed in order to explore the propagation of Voigt waves in any direction. It is shown that the correlation length--a parameter characterizing the distributional statistics of the component material phases--plays a crucial role in facilitating the propagation of Voigt waves in the homogenized composite medium.
Extra-pair mating and effective population size in the song sparrow (Melospiza melodia)
Creators: name: O’Connor, Kathleen D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Effective population size is used widely in conservation research and management as an indicator of the genetic state of populations. However, estimates of effective population size for socially monogamous species can vary with the frequency of matings outside of the social pair. I investigated the effect of cryptic extra-pair fertilization on effective population size estimates using four years of demographic and genetic data from a resident population of song sparrows (Melospiza melodia Oberholser 1899) on Mandarte Island, British Columbia, Canada. Estimates of effective population size using genetic data were nearly identical to estimates based on social data, even though 57% of 84 females engaged in extra-pair matings and 28% of 471 young that survived to independence were from extra-pair matings. Estimates of variance in male reproductive success were also similar using genetic and social data. These results suggest that it is not necessary to determine the sires of offspring to estimate effective population size accurately in socially monogamous species where extra-pair mating occurs. The benefits to females from mating outside of the social pair are not fully understood. I tested the genetic compatibility hypothesis, i.e. that females chose extra-pair mates to avoid inbreeding. Using four years of genetic data, I assigned paternity to offspring that survived at least to six days of age. Females in a pair with a high kinship coefficient were not more likely to engage in matings outside of the pair bond. Females did not choose sires that were less related to them than their mate, nor did they did choose sires less related to them than the average kinship coefficient of candidate males in adjacent territories. Furthermore, extra-pair young did not survive better or produce more offspring than within-pair young. Although I could not rule out the possibility that extra-pair offspring hatch at higher frequencies or have better immune function than within-pair young, I found no support for the genetic compatibility hypothesis.

Much the same is true with regard to wheat when comparing the Delta region with that of Western Kansas.

description: Community detection in large social networks is affected by degree heterogeneity of nodes. The D-SCORE algorithm for directed networks was introduced to reduce this effect by taking the element-wise ratios of the singular vectors of the adjacency matrix before clustering. Meaningful results were obtained for the statistician citation network, but rigorous analysis on its performance was missing. First, this paper establishes theoretical guarantee for this algorithm and its variants for the directed degree-corrected block model (Directed-DCBM). Second, this paper provides significant improvements for the original D-SCORE algorithms by attaching the nodes outside of the community cores using the information of the original network instead of the singular vectors.

description: In this paper we study the observational constraints that can be imposed on the coupling parameter, $\hat α$, of the regularized version of the 4-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravity. We use the scalar-tensor field equations of this theory to perform a thorough investigation of its slow-motion and weak-field limit, and apply our results to observations of a wide array of physical systems that admit such a description. We find that the LAGEOS satellites are the most constraining, requiring $| \hat α| \lesssim 10^{10} \,{\rm m}^2$. This constraint suggests that the possibility of large deviations from general relativity is small in all systems except the very early universe ($t<10^{-3}\, {\rm s}$), or the immediate vicinity of stellar-mass black holes ($M\lesssim100\, M_{\odot}$). We then consider constraints that can be imposed on this theory from cosmology, black hole systems, and table-top experiments. It is found that early universe inflation prohibits all but the smallest negative values of $\hat α$, while observations of binary black hole systems are likely to offer the tightest constraints on positive values, leading to overall bounds $0 \lesssim \hat α\lesssim 10^8 \, {\rm m}^2$.

description: Taking into account the recent measurements of the branching ratios and CP asymmetries in the $B \to ππ$ decays by the BABAR and BELLE collaborations, an amplitude analysis based on the isospin symmetry is reported. These data allow to get an independent determination of the CKM unitarity-triangle angle $γ$. One of the best-fit solutions gives the range $γ= (65 \pm 5)^\circ$, in excellent agreement with the global CKM fit within the Standard Model. The other parameters from this fit confirm the earlier analyses that the data on $B \to ππ$ decays require various topological amplitudes (neglecting the electroweak ones) to be of comparable magnitude with large strong-phase differences.

description: This paper examines the introduction of energy cane and switchgrass in the available crops for production in the Louisiana Sugarcane Belt. Employing an optimal crop mix model net returns over variable costs for each county is maximized. Furthermore, this paper determines the optimal processing plant location based upon transportation of the biomass produced to one central location for processing.

description: Organic aerosols accumulated in Titan's orange haze start forming in its ionosphere. This upper part of the atmosphere is highly reactive and complex ion chemistry takes place at altitudes from 1200 to 900 km. The ionosphere is a nitrogen plasma with a few percent of methane and hydrogen. Carbon from methane enables the formation of macromolecules with long organic chains, finally leading to the organic aerosols. On the other hand, we suspect that hydrogen and the protonated ions have a different erosive effect on the aerosols. Here we experimentally studied the effect of hydrogen and protonated species on organic aerosols. Analogues of Titan's aerosols were formed in a CCP RF plasma discharge in 95% N2 and 5% CH4. Thereafter, the aerosols were exposed to a DC plasma in 99% N2 and 1% H2. Samples were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and in situ infrared transmission spectroscopy. Two pellet techniques - KBr pressed pellets and thin metallic grids - were compared to confirm that modifications seen are not due to the material used to make the pellet. We observed that the spherical aerosols of ~500 nm in diameter were eroded under N2-H2 plasma exposure, with the formation of holes of ~10 nm at their surface. Aerosols were globally removed from the pellet by the plasma. IR spectra showed a faster disappearance of isonitriles and/or carbo-diimides compared to the global band of nitriles. The opposite effect was seen with beta-unsaturated nitriles and/or cyanamides. Double bonds as C=C and C=N were more affected than amines and C-H bonds. N-H and C-H absorption bands kept a similar ratio in intensity and their shape did not vary. Therefore, it seems that carbon and hydrogen play opposite roles in Titan's ionosphere: the carbon from methane lead to organic growth while hydrogen and protonated species erode the aerosols and react preferentially with unsaturated chemical functions.

description: Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group. We use geometric methods to investigate G-completely reducible subgroups of G, giving new criteria for G-complete reducibility. We show that a subgroup of G is G-completely reducible if and only if it is strongly reductive in G; this allows us to use ideas of R.W. Richardson and Hilbert--Mumford--Kempf from geometric invariant theory. We deduce that a normal subgroup of a G-completely reducible subgroup of G is again G-completely reducible, thereby providing an affirmative answer to a question posed by J.-P. Serre, and conversely we prove that the normalizer of a G-completely reducible subgroup of G is again G-completely reducible. Some rationality questions and applications to the spherical building of G are considered. Many of our results extend to the case of non-connected G.

Bulk electronic properties of diamond

description: A review of electronic properties of insulating-, boron- and phosphorus-doped diamond is given. The main goal is, to show data in a wider context, to reveal trends and limitations with respect to carrier mobilities, conductivities, p- and n-type doping. Undoped diamond is an insulator with conductivities significantly smaller than 10^-17 Ohmcm at room temperature. Mostly, these insulating films show conductivity activation energies of 1.7 eV, an indication that small amounts of substitutional nitrogen dominates the Fermi-level. The electron and hole mobilities are very high (> 20.000 cm2/Vs at T = 80 K) and are limited by acoustic phonon scattering. By phosphorus and boron doping diamond becomes semiconducting with an n-type donor activation energy (phosphorus) of 600 meV and an acceptor activation energy (boron) of 370 meV. Both dopands are hydrogen-like in nature. Due to the deep donor levels conductivity at room temperature is limited, electronic application will therefore be high-temperature devices. Both, electrons and holes show nearly the same mobilities which is promising for bi-polar applications, however, due to the very different doping levels low temperature devices will be governed by holes with increasing contribution of electrons towards higher temperatures. The effect of temperature on the carrier activation from donors and acceptors, on carrier scattering as well as on transport via hopping is shown in combination with some basic physical models and descriptions. The results confirm the superior electronic properties of diamond which makes it very promising for future electronic applications.

description: This study evaluates the impacts of the Agricultural Reform Implementation Project (ARIP) on Turkey’s agricultural sector. Using a Turkish province-level data, we estimated an agricultural production function incorporating with a spatially heterogeneous error component to generate the output elasticities with respect to various inputs. This geographically weighted regression model (GWR-SEM) analyzes spatial variation of output-input elasticities and identifies the clusters of high output-input elasticities before and after the implementation of ARIP. Results suggest that the output elasticities with respect to inputs generally improved across the country in the post-ARIP period.

description: This study estimates the effects of an urban growth boundary (UGB) on land development decisions in Knox County, TN, using a heteroscedastic probit model. With combined efforts of increased land development within the city boundary and decreased development within the UGB and the neighboring town of Farragut after the implementation of UGB, the UGB of Knox County has been successful in urban revitalization within the city boundary and discouraging urban sprawl. These UGB impacts may be related to the city government having the right to annex land parcels within the UGB without consent of land owners.
Nonlocality III: General Nonlocality in Quantum Fields

description: The waves of fermions display nonlocality in low energy limit of quantum fields. In this \QTR{it}{ab initio} paper we propose a complex-geometry model that reveals the affection of nonlocality on the interaction between material particles of spin-1/2. To make nonlocal properties appropriately involved in a quantum theory, the special unitary group SU(n) and spinor representation $D^{(1/2,1/2)}$ of Lorentz group are generalized by making complex spaces--which are spanned by wave functions of quantum particles--curved. The curved spaces are described by the geometry used in General Relativity by replacing the real space with complex space and additionally imposing the analytic condition on the space. The field equations for fermions and for bosons are respectively associated with geodesic motion equations and with local curvature of the considered space. The equation for fermions can restore all the terms of quadratic form of Dirac equation. According to the field equation it is found that, for the U(1) field [generalized Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)], when the electromagnetic fields $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ satisfy $\vec E^2-\vec B^2\neq 0$, the bosons will gain masses. In this model, a physical region is empirically defined, which can be characterized by a determinant occurring in boson field equation. Applying the field equation to U(3) field [generalized Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)], the quark-confining property can be understood by carrying out the boundary of physical region.

description: In the article, stochastic frontier analysis of peanut-production efficiency in the Southeastern region of the United States is conducted with a view of assessing the likely farm-level impacts of the 2002 Farm Act. Results indicate that , although quota ownership did not significantly impact inefficiency, it is likely that limitations on the quota’s transferability to areas with better growing conditions were a significant cause of inefficiency. The acreage shifts and improved yields following the passage of the 2002 Farm Act support this conclusion. Certain farm characteristics, such as farm size and operator’s education and age, were also important for efficiency.
