description: Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) assessment at large scales is crucial in marine ecosystems as they reflect key physical and cognitive interactions between humans and nature. The analysis of social media data with graph theory is a promising approach to provide global information on users' perceptions for different marine ecosystems. Fourteen areas were selected to illustrate the use of graph theory on social media data. The selected areas, known to protect key recreational, educational and heritage attributes of marine ecosystems, were investigated to identify variability in users' preferences. Instagram data (i.e., hashtags associated to photos) was extracted for each area allowing an in-depth assessment of the CES most appreciated by the users. Hashtags were analysed using network centrality measures to identify clusters of words, aspects not normally captured by traditional photo content analysis. The emergent properties of networks of hashtags were explored to characterise visitors' preferences (e.g., cultural heritage or nature appreciation), activities (e.g., diving or hiking), preferred habitats and species (e.g. forest, beach, penguins), and feelings (e.g., happiness or place identity). Network analysis on Instagram hashtags allowed delineating the users' discourse around a natural area, which provides crucial information for effective management of popular natural spaces for people.

description: Lassalle and Nekrasov discovered in the 1990s a surprising correspondence between the rational Calogero-Moser system with a harmonic term and its trigonometric version. We present a conceptual explanation of this correspondence using the rational Cherednik algebra and establish its quasi-invariant extension. More specifically, we consider configurations $\mathcal A$ of real hyperplanes with multiplicities admitting the rational Baker-Akhiezer function and use this to introduce a new class of non-symmetric polynomials, which we call $\mathcal A$-Hermite polynomials. These polynomials form a linear basis in the space of $\mathcal A$-quasi-invariants, which is an eigenbasis for the corresponding generalised rational Calogero-Moser operator with harmonic term. In the case of the Coxeter configuration of type $A_N$ this leads to a quasi-invariant version of the Lassalle-Nekrasov correspondence and its higher order analogues.

description: This report analyzes recent structural changes in the world cotton industry and develops a statistical model that reflects current drivers of U.S. cotton prices. Legislative changes in 2008 authorized USDA to resume publishing cotton price forecasts for the first time in nearly 80 years. Systematic problems have become apparent in the forecasting models used by USDA and elsewhere, highlighting the need for an updated review of price relationships. A structural break in the U.S. cotton industry occurred in 1999, and world cotton supply has become an important determinant of U.S. cotton prices, along with China’s trade and production policy. The model developed here forecasts changes in the U.S. upland cotton farm price based on changes in U.S. cotton supply, the U.S. stocks-to-use ratio (S/U), China’s net imports as a share of world consumption, the foreign supply of cotton, and selected farm policy parameters.

description: We explore the effects of environment in the evolution of late-type galaxies by studying the radial profiles of light- and mass-weighted metallicities of galaxies in two discrete environments: field and groups. We use a sample of 167 late-type galaxies, with stellar masses $9\le \log(M_{\star}/M_{\odot}) \le 12$, drawn from the CALIFA survey. We make a study of the metallicity of galaxies in these two environments which includes the comparison of the metallicity as a function of the radius, at a characteristic scale, and as a function of a the stellar mass surface density. We find significant differences between group and field late-type galaxies in terms of their metallicity, in the sense that group galaxies are systematically more metallic than their field counterparts. We find that field galaxies have, in general, metallicity profiles that show a negative gradient in their inner regions, and a shallower profile at larger radii. This contrasts with the metallicity profiles of galaxies in groups, which tend to be flat in the inner regions, and to have a negative gradient in the outer parts. Regarding the metallicity at the characteristic radius of the luminosity profiles, we consistently find that it is higher for group galaxies irrespective of galaxy mass. At fixed local stellar surface mass density, group galaxies are again more metallic, also the dependence of metallicity on surface density is less important for group galaxies. The evidence of a clear difference on the metallicity of group and field galaxies, as a function of mass, spatial scale, and local stellar mass density, are indicative of the different evolutionary paths that galaxies in groups and in the field have followed. We discuss possible implications of the observed differences.

description: The United States bans imports of certain agricultural and wildlife goods that can carry pathogens or diseases or whose harvest can threaten wildlife stocks or endanger species. Despite these bans, contraband is regularly uncovered in inspections of cargo containers and in domestic markets. This study characterizes the economic factors affecting agricultural and wildlife smuggling by drawing on inspection and interdiction data from USDA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and existing economic literature. Findings reveal that agricultural and wildlife smuggling primarily include luxury goods, ethnic foods, and specialty goods, such as traditional medicines. Incidents of detected smuggling are disproportionately higher for agricultural goods originating in China and for wildlife goods originating in Mexico. Fragmentary data show that approximately 1 percent of all commercial wildlife shipments to the United States and 0.40 percent of all U.S. wildlife imports by value are refused entry and suspected of being smuggled.

description: We revise the Non-Gaussianity of canonical curvaton scenario with a generalized $δN$ formalism, in which it could handle the generic potentials. In various curvaton models, the energy density is dominant in different period including the secondary inflation of curvaton, matter domination and radiation domination. Our method could unify to deal with these periods since the non-linearity parameter $f_{\rm NL}$ associated with Non-Gaussianity is a function of equation of state $w$. We firstly investigate the most simple curvaton scenario, namely the chaotic curvaton with quadratic potential. Our study shows that most parameter space satisfies with observational constraints. And our formula will nicely recover the well-known value of $f_{\rm NL}$ in the absence of non-linear evolution. From the micro origin of curvaton, we also investigate the Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone curvaton. Our result clearly indicates that the second short inflationary process for Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone curvaton is ruled out in light of observations. Finally, our method sheds a new way for investigating the Non-Gaussianity of curvaton mechanism, espeically for exploring the Non-Gaussianity in MSSM curvaton model.

description: In recent years global general equilibrium (GE) models have been used to analyse policy issues such as trade liberalisation, regional integration and environmental policies. While a global CGE model is an excellent tool to perform a comprehensive analysis of such policies, it requires an enormous amount of data to calibrate or parameterise the model itself. Quality differences in the data sets might affect the results of the model simulation. Identifying and removing problems in the database is an important task for the effective use of a CGE model. In this paper, we suggest an approach to detect and remove major inconsistencies from the database of a CGE model. To illustrate, we examine and modify selected interindustry transactions in the GTAP version 5 database, a general equilibrium database of the global economy. The revised database was evaluated against the original by undertaking technical change and trade liberalisation experiments using Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model. Results show that estimates using the modified database are more credible than those from the original database.

description: Poorer performing paddocks have plagued farmers often because paddocks tend to be treated as homogeneous when most are heterogeneous in the response to our current systems. The treatment of these paddocks requires that knowledge of where yield and quality differences are occurring. Differences in yield and quality necessitate a response action to occur to ensure that the management of these paddocks change. The purpose of zone management is to optimise the yield and quality of produce from the inputs applied to achieve high output/input ratios across the zones within the paddocks. The identification of performance differences in paddocks ensures that more efficient zone management practices can be applied to the paddock increasing the chances to profit. The benefits to the grower are that they are able to focus at a paddock level, assess change and viability of change to their practices.

As a sample calculation, we discuss three simple cases, both analytically, and numerically, by means of a cellular automata simulation of the individual dynamics in the system. As a result, we provide the infection ratio in the system as a function of controllable parameters, which allows for quantifying how acting on the human behavior may effectively lower the disease spread throughout the system.

description: In New Zealand, the Animal Products Act 1999 requires all animal product processing businesses to have a HACCP-based risk management program by the end of 2002. This paper attempts to measure the effects of such regulation on the variable cost of production of the New Zealand seafood industry. Using the framework developed by Antle (2000), a model of quality-adjusted translog cost function is estimated using census of production data from 1929 to 1998. Our results show that variable costs could increase from 2% to 22% or from 2 cents to 19 cents per kilogram.

description: In theory, competitive emission permit markets minimise total abatement cost for any emission ceiling. Permit markets are often imperfectly competitive, however, if they are thin and dominated by large firms. The dominant firm(s) could exercise market power and increase other firms’ costs of pollution control, while reducing their own emission control costs. This paper reports a testbed laboratory experiment to examine whether a dominant firm can exercise market power in a permit market organised using the double auction trading institution. Our parameters approximate the abatement costs of sources in a proposed tradable emissions market for the reduction of nitrogen in the Port Phillip Watershed in Victoria, Australia. We vary across treatments the initial (pre-trade) allocation of permits to sources, so that in one treatment the seller of permits is a monopolist and in another treatment the selling side of the market is duopolistic. We also vary the information that subjects have about the number and abatement costs of their competitors. We find that prices and seller profits are higher and efficiency is lower on average in the monopoly sessions compared to the duopoly sessions, but the differences are not substantial and are not statistically significant due to pronounced variation across sessions. Moreover, prices, profits and transaction volumes are usually much closer to the competitive equilibrium than the monopoly equilibrium.

description: Investigation of Seebeck coefficient in ultra-wide bandgap materials presents a challenge in measurement, nevertheless, it is essential for understanding fundamental transport mechanisms involved in electrical and thermal conduction. \b{eta}-Ga2O3 is a strategic material for high power optoelectronic applications. Present work reports Seebeck coefficient measurement for single crystal Sn doped \b{eta}-Ga2O3 in a wide temperature range (80-630 K). The non-monotonic trend with large magnitude and negative sign in the entire temperature range shows electrons are dominant carriers. The structural and Raman characterization confirms the single-phase and presence of low, mid, and high-frequency phonon modes, respectively. Temperature dependent (90-350 K) Hall effect measurement was carried out as supplementary study. Hall mobility showed T1.12 for T less than 135 K and T-0.70 for T more than 220 K. Activation energies from Seebeck coefficient and conductivity analysis revealed presence of inter band conduction due to impurity defects. The room temperature Seebeck coefficient, power factor and thermal conductivity were found as 68.57 microV/K, 0.15 microW/K2cm and 14.2 W/mK, respectively. The value of the figure-of-merit for \b{eta}-Ga2O3 was found to be aprox. 0.01 (300 K).

description: The Philippine duck industry is dominated by smallholder production. At present, about 99 percent of the demand for duck products is met by domestic production. However, it is envisaged that as trade liberalisation continues, the Philippine duck industry will face increasing competition from overseas as well as from other products. Continuing survival, and growth, of the industry depends on its ability to compete on a globalised market, which, in turn, depends on efficiency in the production and marketing systems relative to competitors. The research objective is to provide an overview of the industry and identify industry issues.

description: The Australian wheat marketing system has been through a number of stages of deregulation in recent years. However, the AWB still maintains the monopoly selling rights of Australian wheat exports. The AWB and its supporters justify the single desk by arguing that the monopoly power enables them to gain a higher price in the export markets. Opposition to the single desk argues that Australia does not produce enough wheat to influence prices. The objective of this study is to test the market power hypothesis by examining the quantity - price relationship of Australian wheat exports and the stability of this relationship over time using annual data from 1961 to 2000.

description: This paper explores the economics of land degradation in the rice-shrimp system in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. A bioeconomic NPV model was developed to evaluate and compare the long-term benefits of alternative production choices and farm technologies. There is an alternative rice-shrimp technology emerging in Vietnam that does not have the same land degrading impacts as the 'traditional' system, however the high capital outlay and risk associated with such technology presents its own problems. In the paper the economic incentives for adoption of the non-land degrading rice-shrimp technology are explored. Conclusions are drawn with regard to the opportunity cost of land degradation and technological change. Some conclusions are also provided on the policy implications arising from the results presented.

description: Weakly collisional space plasmas are rarely in local thermal equilibrium and often exhibit non-Maxwellian electron and ion velocity distributions that lead to the growth of microinstabilities, that is, enhanced electric and magnetic fields at relatively short wavelengths. These instabilities play an active role in the evolution of space plasmas, as does ubiquitous broadband turbulence induced by turbulent structures. This study compares certain properties of a 2.5 dimensional Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation for the forward cascade of Alfvenic turbulence in a collisionless plasma against the same properties of turbulence observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission spacecraft in the terrestrial magnetosheath. The PIC simulation is of decaying turbulence which develops both coherent structures and anisotropic ion velocity distributions with the potential to drive kinetic scale instabilities. The uniform background magnetic field points perpendicular to the plane of the simulation. Growth rates are computed from linear theory using the ion temperature anisotropies and ion beta values for both the simulation and the observations. Both the simulation and the observations show that strong anisotropies and growth rates occur highly intermittently in the plasma, and the simulation further shows that such anisotropies preferentially occur near current sheets. This suggests that, though microinstabilities may affect the plasma globally , they act locally and develop in response to extreme temperature anisotropies generated by turbulent structures. Further studies will be necessary to understand why there is an apparent correlation between linear instability theory and strongly intermittent turbulence.

The cell is placed in a traveling-wave Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with counter-propagating pump and probe beams. The FPI is locked using the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) technique. Mechanical noise is rejected by differencing pump and probe signals. In addition, this differenced error signal gives a sensitive measure of differential non-linearity within the FPI.

THREE FACTS ABOUT MARIJUANA PRICES

Subjects: Demand and Price Analysis

description: Australians are among the largest consumers of marijuana in the world, and estimates show that their expenditure on marijuana is about twice that on wine. In this paper we analyse the evolution of marijuana prices in Australia and show that they have declined in real terms by almost 40 percent over the last decade. This decline is far above that experienced by most agricultural products. Why has this occurred and what are the implications? The extensive adoption of hydroponic techniques in growing marijuana is likely to have enhanced productivity, with the benefits passed onto consumers in the form of lower prices. We find patterns in the prices that divide the country into three broad regions: (i) Sydney, where prices are highest; (ii) Melbourne and Canberra, which have somewhat lower prices; and (iii) everywhere else, where marijuana is cheapest. We also find that marijuana prices seem to be (positively) related to real estate prices. A further finding is that the price declines have stimulated marijuana consumption by about 15 percent, inhibited drinking (marijuana and alcohol being substitutes) and led to an increase in the real incomes of users in excess of $1 billion p. a.

Productivity Analysis

description: In Barangay Kapatagan, Digos City, Southern Mindanao Philippines, vegetable farmers hold a specific worldview on what quality vegetables are. This paper aims to define this worldview, compare this with expectations of marketing intermediaries down the vegetable supply chain, and assess the gaps between these views. Discrepancies between and among the definitions of the different groups affect the entire chain because of incompatible decisions in production, marketing and quality management. These decisions contribute to the efficiency or inefficiency of the entire chain. Introduction

description: Modular networks are a promising paradigm for increasingly complex quantum devices based on the ability to transfer qubits and generate entanglement between modules. These tasks require a low-loss, high-speed intermodule link that enables extensible network connectivity. Satisfying these demands simultaneously remains an outstanding goal for long-range optical quantum networks as well as modular superconducting processors within a single cryostat. We demonstrate communication and entanglement in a superconducting network with a microwave-actuated beamsplitter transformation between two bosonic qubits, which are housed in separate modules and joined by a demountable coaxial bus resonator. We transfer a qubit in a multi-photon encoding and track photon loss events to improve the fidelity, making it as high as in a single-photon encoding. Furthermore, generating entanglement with two-photon interference and postselection against loss errors produces a Bell state with success probability 79% and fidelity 0.94, halving the error obtained with a single photon. These capabilities demonstrate several promising methods for faithful operations between modules, including novel possibilities for resource-efficient direct gates.

description: A Choice Modelling (CM) experiment is developed with the purpose of gaining some insight on how to identify the relevant population for the valuation of an environmental asset. The experiment is based on a survey of Perth residents over the values they attach to Kings Park, the largest urban park in Western Australia, 4/5 of which is native bushland. We design the experiment in order to isolate NUVs form UVs so that trade-offs between attributes of the asset imply tradeoffs between Use Values, Non-Use Values and money. One can then estimate the coefficients for each attribute and analyse the effect of distance on patterns of use. Preliminary results are obtained using data from a pre-survey trial of the questionnaire.
Architectures and algorithms for synthesizable embedded programmable logic cores

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: As integrated circuits become more and more complex, the ability to make post fabrication changes will become more and more attractive. This ability can be realized using programmable logic cores. Currendy, such cores are available from vendors in the form of a "hard" layout. In this thesis, we focus on an alternative approach: vendors supply a synthesizable version of their programmable logic core (a "soft" core) and the integrated circuit designer synthesizes the programmable logic fabric using standard cells. Although this technique suffers increased speed, density and power overhead, the task of integrating such cores is far easier than integrating "hard" cores into an ASIC. For very small amounts of logic, this ease of use may be more important than the increased overhead. This thesis presents three synthesizable programmable logic core architectures. The place and route algorithms developed for the various architectures are also described. These algorithms have been integrated in the Versatile Place and Route (VPR) CAD tool, a widely used CAD tool for FPGA architectural studies. We compare the architectures to each other, and to a "hard" programmable logic core. We also show how these cores can be made more efficient by creating a non-rectangular architecture, an option not available to "hard" core vendors. Finally, we evaluate various approaches to improve the area performance of our architectures by considering several architectural enhancements.

description: We point out that some recently proposed string theory realizations of dynamical supersymmetry breaking actually do not break supersymmetry in the usual desired sense. Instead, there is a runaway potential, which slides down to a supersymmetric vacuum at infinite expectation values for some fields. The runaway direction is not on a separated branch; rather, it shows up as a"tadpole" everywhere on the moduli space of field expectation values.

description: Society’s demands for individual and corporate social responsibility as an alternative response to market and distributive failures are becoming increasingly prominent. We first draw on recent developments in the “psychology and economics” of prosocial behavior to shed light on this trend, which reflects a complex interplay of genuine altruism, social or self image concerns, and material incentives. We then link individual concerns to corporate social responsibility, contrasting three possible understandings of the term: the adoption of a more long-term perspective by firms, the delegated exercise of prosocial behavior on behalf of stakeholders, and insider-initiated corporate philanthropy. For both individuals and firms we discuss the benefits, costs and limits of socially responsible behavior as a means to further societal goals.
Brownian dynamics study of driven partially pinned solid in the presence of square array of pinning centers: Enhanced pinning close to the melting transition

description: A set of interacting vortices in $2D$ in the presence of a substrate with square symmetry and at filling ratio $1$ can display a low temperature solid phase where only one of the reciprocal lattice vectors of the substrate is present\cite{toby1,fasano}. This partially pinned vortex lattice melts to a modulated liquid via a continuous transition \cite{toby1}. Brownian dynamics simulation is carried out to study the behavior of driven partially pinned solid at different temperatures. The average vortex velocity for forces above the depinning threshold shows a non-monotonic behavior with temperature, with a minimum in the average velocity close to the melting point. This is reminiscent of the peak effect seen in vortex systems with random disorder. This effect in the current system can be qualitatively explained by an effective increase in the barriers encountered by the particles as $T_c$ is approached. Approximate calculation of the energy barriers as a function of temperature, from the simulation supports this claim.

description: In a cold dark matter (CDM) framework of structure formation, the dark matter haloes around galaxies assemble through successive mergers with smaller haloes. This merging process is not completely efficient, and hundreds of surviving halo cores, or {\it subhaloes}, are expected to remain in orbit within the halo of a galaxy like the Milky Way. While the dozen visible satellites of the Milky Way may trace some of these subhaloes, the majority are currently undetected. A large number of high-velocity clouds (HVCs) of neutral hydrogen {\it are} observed around the Milky Way, and it is plausible that some of the HVCs may trace subhaloes undetected in the optical. Confirming the existence of concentrations of dark matter associated with even a few of the HVCs would represent a dramatic step forward in our attempts to understand the nature of dark matter. Supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics currently suggest neutralinos as a natural well-motivated candidate for the non-baryonic dark matter of the universe. If this is indeed the case, then it may be possible to detect dark matter indirectly as it annihilates into neutrinos, photons or positrons. In particular, the centres of subhaloes might show up as point sources in gamma-ray observations. In this work we consider the possibility that some of the unidentified EGRET $γ$-ray sources trace annihilating neutralino dark matter in the dark substructure of the Local Group. We compare the observed positions and fluxes of both the unidentified EGRET sources and the HVCs with the positions and fluxes predicted by a model of halo substructure, to determine to what extent any of these three populations could be associated.

description: The article presents the results of statistical studies of melons grown in the Mirzachul oasis of the Syrdarya region. Since determining the total volume (quantity) of melons in the Mirzachul oasis is a rather complex task, the “sampling technique” was used to determine the number of objects under study. Basically, the mass, length and diameter of the melon in 15 sections were subjected to static research. The results of micrometric studies are presented in the form of graphs of size distributions that obey the normal law (Gauss). The distribution law was checked according to the Kolmogorov criterion and the compatibility of empirical and theoretical distribution curves was established. During the micrometric analysis of the mass-geometric dimensions of the melon, the probability of the percentage of suitable and unsuitable melons according to their parameters was calculated. In conclusion, it is noted that the obtained data can be used in the development of installations for mechanized processing of melons, in particular, to determine the values of the diameters of the disk knives of the installation for ring slicing them before drying..
Topological quantum switch and controllable quasi 1D wires in antimonene

description: Based on the recently found non-trivial topology of buckled antimonene, we propose the conceptual design of a quantized switch that is protected by topology and a mechanism to create configurable 1D wire channels. We show that the topologically required edge states in this system can be turned on and off by breaking the inversion symmetry (reducing the symmetry from $S_6$ to $C_3$), which can be achieved by gating the system. This is shown to create a field-effect quantum switch projected by topology. Secondly we show that by locally gating the system with different polarity in different areas, a soliton-like domain wall is created at their interface, which hosts a protected electronic state, in which transport could be accessed by gated doping.

description: We have investigated the dynamic critical behavior of the two-dimensional 4-state Potts model using an alternative order parameter first used by Vanderzande [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{20}, L549 (1987)] in the study of the Z(5) model. We have estimated the global persistence exponent $θ_g$ by following the time evolution of the probability $P(t)$ that the considered order parameter does not change its sign up to time $t$. We have also obtained the critical exponents $θ$, $z$, $ν$, and $β$ using this alternative definition of the order parameter and our results are in complete agreement with available values found in literature.
