description: A globális hőmérséklet-növekedés környezeti változásokhoz, a tengerszint emelkedéséhez, a csapadék mennyiségének és térbeli eloszlásának megváltozásához, szélsőséges időjárási viszonyokhoz vezet. Állat- és növényfajok kipusztulásának sebessége jelentősen nő. Bizonyos betegségek könnyebben elterjedhetnek. E fel¬sorolt hatásokból látható, hogy a mezőgazdaságot közvetlenül érinti a klímaváltozás. Fontos tehát, hogy a mezőgazdasági üzemek maguk is tegyenek a káros hatások enyhítéséért. Lehetséges megoldás a biomassza tüzelése, amely a mezőgazdasági rendeltetésű épületek és háztartások energiaköltségeit jelentősen mérsékli. Tanulmányunk olyan megoldást dolgoz ki, melyben a hő előállításához szükséges energia költsége teljes mértékben megszűnik, ami energiaerdő telepítésével lehetséges. A kitermelt erdő egy része a háztartásokban használható fel, másik része a piacon értékesíthető, melynek nyeresége további energiatakarékos beruházásokra használható fel. A faalapú tüzelőanyag a fosszilis tüzelőanyaggal szembeni környezetkímélése, számos pozitív hatása mellett jelentősen hozzájárul a külföldi országoktól való energiafüg¬gőség problémájának megoldásához. ------------------------------------ Global warming leads to environmental changes, rising of sea levels, changes in the quantity and spatial distribution of precipitation and to extreme weather conditions. The extinction of animals and plant species increases significantly. Certain diseases spread easily. This list indicates that agriculture is directly affected by global warming. It is important that agricultural enterprises should themselves be prepared to moderate the harmful effects. A possible approach is the use of biomass for heating that would significantly reduce energy costs of agricultural buildings and households. Our study concerns an approach of heat production that would entirely eliminate energy costs by the plantation and use of energy forests. Part of the woods from such a forest could be burnt in households and the rest could be sold in the market. Profits from the sales could be used for further energy saving investments. Wood based fuels as opposed to fossil fuels are in many respects environment friendly and they enable the country to become significantly independent of foreign energy imports.

description: The $^{66}$Ge and $^{68}$Ge nuclei are studied by means of the shell model with the extended $P+QQ$ Hamiltonian, which succeeds in reproducing experimentally observed energy levels, moments of inertia and other properties. The investigation using the reliable wave-functions predicts T=0, J=9 one-proton-one-neutron ($1p1n$) alignment in the $g_{9/2}$ orbit, at high spins ($14_1^+$, $16_1^+$ and $18_1^+$) in these $N \approx Z$ even-even nuclei. It is shown that a series of the even-$J$ positive-parity yrast states (observed up to $26_1^+$ for $^{68}$Ge) consists of the ground-state band and successive three bands with different types of particle alignments (two-neutron, $1p1n$, two-proton-two-neutron) in the $g_{9/2}$ orbit.

description: The underlying employment trend (UET) is investigated in Jordanian economy over the period 1989- 2004 using structural time series model (STSM). This approach allows to modelling the trend in its stochastic form introduced by Harvey (1989). The results show that a stochastic trend is preferred to deterministic trend. In addition, the inclusion or exclusion of the conventional deterministic trend leads to overestimated output elasticity. Furthermore, the UET is found to be non-linear, down downward sloping.

description: One of the key elements of effective financial banking management is the ability to quickly identify and determine the degree of risk a bank faces as a result of hazardous actions it undertakes. The rules of the market research existing in the Polish banking system for more than two years are based on regulations adopted by the European Parliament. The present article discusses the risks and their significance in the total capital requirement when calculating the solvency ratio. The analysis of the period from June 2007 to June 2009 shows that credit risk and operational risk exert the greatest impact on the value of the bank solvency ratio.

description: We present ultraviolet photometry for globular clusters (GCs) in M31 from 15 square deg of imaging using the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). We detect 200 and 94 GCs with certainty in the near-ultraviolet (NUV; 1750 - 2750 Angstroms) and far-ultraviolet (FUV; 1350 - 1750 Angstroms) bandpasses, respectively. Our rate of detection is about 50% in the NUV and 23% in the FUV, to an approximate limiting V magnitude of 19. Out of six clusters with [Fe/H]>-1 seen in the NUV, none is detected in the FUV bandpass. Furthermore, we find no candidate metal-rich clusters with significant FUV flux, because of the contribution of blue horizontal-branch (HB) stars, such as NGC 6388 and NGC 6441, which are metal-rich Galactic GCs with hot HB stars. We show that our GALEX photometry follows the general color trends established in previous UV studies of GCs in M31 and the Galaxy. Comparing our data with Galactic GCs in the UV and with population synthesis models, we suggest that the age range of M31 and Galactic halo GCs are similar.

Assessment of neonectria neomacrospora as a potential biological control agent for hemlock dwarf mistletoe
Creators: name: Rietman, Lea Mae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of Neonectria neomacrospora as an inundative biological control agent for hemlock dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium tsugense). Based on the growth characteristics of six isolates of N. neomacrospora, isolate PFC 2559 was selected as the inoculum source. A field trial was conducted on Vancouver Island to determine the requirement of wounding for N. neomacrospora infection and to measure the impact of TV. neomacrospora infection on A. tsugense vigour. Conidia were mass produced and suspended in "Stabileze" formulation, which was sprayed onto entire hemlock dwarf mistletoe infections (swellings and shoots). Treatments involved unwounded A. tsugense swellings, cut A. tsugense aerial shoots, and wounded A. tsugense swellings. The number of healthy and diseased^, tsugense aerial shoots was recorded at 2 weeks and 1, 2, 3.5, 5, 6, and 9 months after treatment. At 10 months, a sub-portion of the treated A. tsugense swellings was destructively sampled and an attempt to re-isolate N. neomacrospora was done. The greatest amount of re-isolation of N. neomacrospora occurred for the wounded, inoculated treatment (73%), followed by the cut shoots, inoculated treatment (60%), and the unwounded, inoculated treatment (55%); (35%, 20%, and 21% for controls, respectively). Based on the extent of bark necrosis, the occurrence of sporodochia, and re-isolation of N. neomacrospora, the wounded, inoculated treatment had the greatest impact on N. neomacrospora infection when compared to the unwounded, inoculated treatment and the cut shoots, inoculated treatment. There was no evidence that N. neomacrospora could infect wounded A. tsugense shoots. Once infection by N. neomacrospora was established, a 38% decline in the number of healthy A. tsugense aerial shoots was observed at 9 months. Applying inoculum to unwounded A. tsugense swellings is predicted to reduce the number of A. tsugense shoots by 14% in the field at 9 months. This is a conservative estimate. Due to the extensive bark necrosis and girdling of the A. tsugense swelling, infection by N. neomacrospora is expected to have a greater long-term impact on A. tsugense vigour than that observed in the present field trial.

description: For a complex finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we introduce the notion of Q-datum, which generalizes the notion of a Dynkin quiver with a height function from the viewpoint of Weyl group combinatorics. Using this notion, we develop a unified theory describing the twisted Auslander-Reiten quivers and the twisted adapted classes introduced in [O.-Suh, J. Algebra, 2019] with an appropriate notion of the generalized Coxeter elements. As a consequence, we obtain a combinatorial formula expressing the inverse of the quantum Cartan matrix of $\mathfrak{g}$, which generalizes the result of [Hernandez-Leclerc, J. Reine Angew. Math., 2015] in the simply-laced case. We also find several applications of our combinatorial theory of Q-data to the finite-dimensional representation theory of the untwisted quantum affine algebra of $\mathfrak{g}$. In particular, in terms of Q-data and the inverse of the quantum Cartan matrix, (i) we give an alternative description of the block decomposition results due to [Chari-Moura, Int. Math. Res. Not., 2005] and [Kashiwara-Kim-O.-Park, arXiv:2003.03265], (ii) we present a unified (partially conjectural) formula of the denominators of the normalized R-matrices between all the Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules, and (iii) we compute the invariants $Λ(V,W)$ and $Λ^\infty(V, W)$ introduced in [Kashiwara-Kim-O.-Park, Compos. Math., 2020] for each pair of simple modules $V$ and $W$.

Some of the important aspect includes the Exascale, the computing power and the kind of applications which offer the Big data. This starts with the current computing hardware constraint against the need of the rising Big data applications. We highlight the issues and challenges of energy requirement, software complexity, hardware failure, fault tolerant computing, and communication. As the complexity of computation is going to rise in the future. The paper also highlights the future direction of Big computing systems for Bioinformatics, social media, hardware and software requirements, data intensive computation and then towards GPU era.

description: We discuss molecular cloud formation by large-scale supersonic compressions in the diffuse warm neutral medium (WNM). Initially, a shocked layer forms, and within it, a thin cold layer. An analytical model and high-resolution 1D simulations predict the thermodynamic conditions in the cold layer. After $\sim 1$ Myr of evolution, the layer has column density $\sim 2.5 \times 10^{19} \psc$, thickness $\sim 0.03$ pc, temperature $\sim 25$ K and pressure $\sim 6650$ K $\pcc$. These conditions are strongly reminiscent of those recently reported by Heiles and coworkers for cold neutral medium sheets. In the 1D simulations, the inflows into the sheets produce line profiles with a central line of width $\sim 0.5 \kms$ and broad wings of width $\sim 1 \kms$. 3D numerical simulations show that the cold layer develops turbulent motions and increases its thickness, until it becomes a fully three-dimensional turbulent cloud. Fully developed turbulence arises on times ranging from $\sim 7.5$ Myr for inflow Mach number $\Mr = 2.4$ to $> 80$ Myr for $\Mr = 1.03$. These numbers should be considered upper limits. The highest-density turbulent gas (HDG, $n > 100 \pcc$) is always overpressured with respect to the mean WNM pressure by factors 1.5--4, even though we do not include self-gravity. The intermediate-density gas (IDG, $10 < n [{\rm cm}^ {-3}] < 100$) has a significant pressure scatter that increases with $\Mr$, so that at $\Mr = 2.4$, a significant fraction of the IDG is at a higher pressure than the HDG. Our results suggest that the turbulence and at least part of the excess pressure in molecular clouds can be generated by the compressive process that forms the clouds themselves, and that thin CNM sheets may be formed transiently by this mechanism, when the compressions are only weakly supersonic.

An analysis of interior wood products and their psychological impact
Creators: name: Rice, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research focused on understanding people's perceptions of wood, particularly in interior applications. The goal was to determine what type of environment wood products create and to determine if they can have a positive effect on an individual's health and well-being. A total of 119 respondents from the Greater Vancouver Regional Area completed the study. The research consisted of four separate sections, of which each subject completed three. Subjects were asked a variety of questions focusing on indoor environments, interior furnishing materials, wood products and perceptions of wood. The main objectives of this study were to: determine if wood environments have an impact on emotional states and, therefore, implications for psychological health; determine if there are any demographic differences with respect to how people emotionally respond to wood (e.g. age, culture, gender); and determine if emotional response to interior wood products can be used in the development of marketing strategies. The research indicated that people's response to wood is, for the most part, extremely positive. Furthermore, there appears to be a strong belief that wood creates healthful environments. Wood environments were continuously described with the following terms: 'warm', 'homey', 'relaxing', 'natural' and 'inviting'. Perceptions of wood do not appear to be related to any demographic differences, showing people's positive response to wood and wood environments appears to be relatively widespread. Humans have an innate desire to try and replicate nature in their indoor environments either through the use of large windows and views of nature, natural light, plants and natural materials such as wood. Wood's positive effects on health and well-being need to be added to wood's total product concept. Wood manufacturers have the opportunity to market wood in an entirely new and innovative manner. Secondary processed wood products have many opportunities in today's global market, but it is important that all of wood's positive attributes, including potential psychological benefits, be properly exploited in order for wood to successfully compete against other products.

description: Agricultural research has fostered productivity growth, but the historical influence of anthropogenic climate change on that growth has not been quantified. We develop a robust econometric model of weather effects on global agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) and combine this model with counterfactual climate scenarios to evaluate impacts of past climate trends on TFP. Our baseline model indicates that anthropogenic climate change has reduced global agricultural TFP by about 21% since 1961, a slowdown that is equivalent to losing the last 9 years of productivity growth. The effect is substantially more severe (a reduction of ~30-33%) in warmer regions such as Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean. We also find that global agriculture has grown more vulnerable to ongoing climate change.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of an isotropic closed Universe in the presence of a cosmological constant term and we compare its behavior in the standard Wheeler-DeWitt equation approach with the one when a Lagrangian fluid is considered in the spirit of the Kuchar-Brown paradigm. In particular, we compare the tunnelling of the Universe from the classically forbidden region to the allowed one, showing that considering a time evolution deeply influences the nature of the model. In fact, we show that in the presence of the Lagrangian fluid, the cosmological singularity is restored both in the classical and the quantum regime. However, in the quantum regime the singularity is probabilistically suppressed for some energy eigenvalues and in the case the latter is equal to zero, one recovers the standard WDW case. Finally, we introduce a cut-off physics feature in the Minisuperspace by considering a Polymer quantum mechanical approach, mainly limiting our attention to the semi-classical dynamics (the quantum treatment is inhibited by the non-local nature of the Hamiltonian operator). We show that the singularity is again removed, like in the fluid-free model, and a bouncing cosmology emerges so that the present model could mimic a cyclic cosmology.

description: In relativistic gravity, a spinning pulsar will precess as it orbits a compact companion star. We have measured the effect of such precession on the average shape and polarization of the radiation from PSR B1534+12. We have also detected, with limited precision, special-relativistic aberration of the revolving pulsar beam due to orbital motion. Our observations fix the system geometry, including the misalignment between the spin and orbital angular momenta, and yield a measurement of the precession timescale consistent with the predictions of General Relativity.

description: Theoretical calculations are contributing a significantly higher proportion of data to contemporary spectroscopic databases, which have traditionally relied on experimental observations and semi-empirical models. It is now a common procedure to extend calculated line lists to include ro-vibrational transitions between all bound states of the ground electronic state up to the dissociation limit. Advanced ab initio methods are utilized to calculate the potential energy and dipole moment surfaces (PESs and DMSs), and semi-empirical PESs are then obtained by combining ab initio and experimental data. The objective is to reach high accuracy in the calculated transition intensities for all parts of spectrum, i.e. to increase the predictive power of the model. We show that in order to perform this task, one needs, in addition to the standard improvements of the PES and DMS in the spectroscopically accessible regions, to extend the ab initio calculations of the PES towards the united-atom limit along the stretching coordinates. The argument is based on the correlation between the intensities of high-overtone transitions and the repulsive potential wall that has previously been theoretically established for diatomic molecules and is empirically extended here to linear and nonlinear triatomic molecules. We generate partial line lists for water and ozone, and together with an already available line list for carbon dioxide, we derive the normal intensity distribution, which is a direct consequence of this correlation. The normal distribution is not an instrument to compute highly accurate intensities, rather it is a means to analyze the intensities computed by the traditional methods.

description: Currently, GPS is by far the most popular global localization method. However, it is not always reliable or accurate in all environments. SLAM methods enable local state estimation but provide no means of registering the local map to a global one, which can be important for inter-robot collaboration or human interaction. In this work, we present a real-time method for utilizing semantics to globally localize a robot using only egocentric 3D semantically labelled LiDAR and IMU as well as top-down RGB images obtained from satellites or aerial robots. Additionally, as it runs, our method builds a globally registered, semantic map of the environment. We validate our method on KITTI as well as our own challenging datasets, and show better than 10 meter accuracy, a high degree of robustness, and the ability to estimate the scale of a top-down map on the fly if it is initially unknown.

description: For a collisionless plasma in contact with a dielectric surface, where with unit probability electrons and ions are, respectively, absorbed and neutralized, thereby injecting electrons and holes into the conduction and valence band, we study the kinetics of plasma loss by nonradiative electron-hole recombination inside the dielectric. We obtain a self-consistently embedded electric double layer, merging with the quasi-neutral, field-free regions inside the plasma and the solid. After a description of the numerical scheme for solving the two sets of Boltzmann equations, one for the electrons and ions of the plasma and one for the electrons and holes of the solid, to which this transport problem gives rise to, we present numerical results for a p-doped dielectric. Besides potential, density, and flux profiles, plasma-induced changes in the electron and hole distribution functions are discussed, from which a microscopic view on plasma loss inside the dielectric emerges.

Studies of the Relativistic Binary Pulsar PSR B1534+12. II. Origin and Evolution

description: We have recently measured the angle between the spin and orbital angular momenta of PSR B1534+12 to be either 25+/-4 deg or 155+/-4 deg. This misalignment was almost certainly caused by an asymmetry in the supernova explosion that formed its companion neutron star. Here we combine the misalignment measurement with measurements of the pulsar and companion masses, the orbital elements, proper motion, and interstellar scintillation. We show that the orbit of the binary in the Galaxy is inconsistent with a velocity kick large enough to produce a nearly antialigned spin axis, so the true misalignment must be ~25 deg. Similar arguments lead to bounds on the mass of the companion star immediately before its supernova: 3+/-1 Msun. The result is a coherent scenario for the formation of the observed binary. After the first supernova explosion, the neutron star that would eventually become the observed pulsar was in a Be/X-ray type binary system with a companion of at least 10--12 Msun. During hydrogen (or possibly helium) shell burning, mass transfer occurred in a common envelope phase, leaving the neutron star in a roughly half-day orbit with a helium star with mass above ~3.3 Msun. A second phase of mass transfer was then initiated by Roche lobe overflow during shell helium burning, further reducing both the helium star mass and orbital period before the second supernova. Scenarios that avoid Roche lobe overflow by the helium star require larger helium star masses and predict space velocities inconsistent with our measurements. The companion neutron star experienced a velocity kick of 230+/-60 km/s at birth, leading to a systemic kick to the binary of 180+/-60 km/s.
