description: This report provides estimates of the lignite industry's contribution to the North Dakota economy, using key economic indicators such as retail trade activity, personal income, total business activity, employment, and tax revenues. The estimates are based on actual industry expenditures for 1997 and projected expenditures for 1998. This analysis contains two measures of the relative importance of the lignite energy industry in North Dakota. First, the industry's share of the state's total sales to final demand (or exports) is evaluated. Second, the business volume generated by the industry is compared to the total gross business volume for the state. Expenditures were obtained from a survey of firms involved in lignite-related activities (mining or conversion) in North Dakota.

description: We study the binding energy and the width of the $Θ^+$ in nuclei, associated to the $K N$ and $ K πN$ components. The first one leads to negligible contributions while the second one leads to a sizeable attraction, enough to bind the $Θ^+$ in nuclei. Pauli blocking and binding effects on the $K N$ decay reduce considerably the $Θ^+$ decay width in nuclei and medium effects associated to the $ K πN$ component also lead to a very small width, as a consequence of which one finds separation between the bound levels considerably larger than the width of the states.

description: The agriculture industry continues to adopt business practices based on strategic alliances. Generally these alliances emphasize vertical coordination wherein producers enter into long-term agreements with suppliers, processors, and businesses in other sectors of the food and fiber industry. Alternatively, producers should explore initiating horizontal linkages; that is, strategic alliances among producers. Sharing ownership of seasonal equipment, multi-year land rotations among specialized farm operations, and sharing ownership of several farm businesses are strategies that can offer production and marketing efficiencies, as well as risk management opportunities.

description: This paper describes the important changes that occurred in the U.S. grain handling and transportation system in the period following deregulation in 1980. This system has evolved and will continue to do so in response to technological and institutional changes, competitive pressures, and a changed regulatory regime. The effect has been to induce investments throughout the system ultimately to improve the efficiency. Some of the important rail innovations include the use of rate discounts to induce more efficient movements from origins first, and more recently at destinations. In addition, each railroad has adopted car allocation systems comprising several mechanisms, giving shippers logistical choices which have also facilitated more efficient allocation of cars among shippers. Finally, a number of important implications for the Canadian industry are identified as it evolves through its forthcoming changes.

description: Let M be a complete finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold with compact non-empty geodesic boundary and k toric cusps, and let T be a geometric partially truncated triangulation of M. We show that the variety of solutions of consistency equations for T is a smooth manifold or real dimension 2k near the point representing the unique complete structure on M. As a consequence, the relation between deformations of triangulations and deformations of representations is completely understood, at least in a neighbourhood of the complete structure. This allows us to prove, for example, that small deformations of the complete triangulation affect the compact tetrahedra and the hyperbolic structure on the geodesic boundary only at the second order.

A Hybrid Framework for Matching Printing Design Files to Product Photos

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We propose a real-time image matching framework, which is hybrid in the sense that it uses both hand-crafted features and deep features obtained from a well-tuned deep convolutional network. The matching problem, which we concentrate on, is specific to a certain application, that is, printing design to product photo matching. Printing designs are any kind of template image files, created using a design tool, thus are perfect image signals. However, photographs of a printed product suffer many unwanted effects, such as uncontrolled shooting angle, uncontrolled illumination, occlusions, printing deficiencies in color, camera noise, optic blur, et cetera. For this purpose, we create an image set that includes printing design and corresponding product photo pairs with collaboration of an actual printing facility. Using this image set, we benchmark various hand-crafted and deep features for matching performance and propose a framework in which deep learning is utilized with highest contribution, but without disabling real-time operation using an ordinary desktop computer.

description: We present two cavity quantum electrodynamics proposals that, sharing the same basic elements, allow for the deterministic generation of entangled photons pairs by means of a three-level atom successively coupled to two single longitudinal mode high-Q optical resonators presenting polarization degeneracy. In the faster proposal, the three-level atom yields a polarization entangled photon pair via two truncated Rabi oscillations, whereas in the adiabatic proposal a counterintuitive Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage process is considered. Although slower than the former process, this second method is very efficient and robust under fluctuations of the experimental parameters and, particularly interesting, almost completely insensitive to atomic decay.

description: We present a non-perturbative lattice calculation of the form factors which contribute to the amplitudes for the radiative decays $P\to \ell \bar ν_\ell γ$, where $P$ is a pseudoscalar meson and $\ell$ is a charged lepton. Together with the non-perturbative determination of the corrections to the processes $P\to \ell \bar ν_\ell$ due to the exchange of a virtual photon, this allows accurate predictions at $O(α_{em})$ to be made for leptonic decay rates for pseudoscalar mesons ranging from the pion to the $D_s$ meson. We are able to separate unambiguously and non-pertubatively the point-like contribution, from the structure-dependent, infrared-safe, terms in the amplitude. The fully non-perturbative $O(a)$ improved calculation of the inclusive leptonic decay rates will lead to the determination of the corresponding Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements also at $O(α_{em})$. Prospects for a precise evaluation of leptonic decay rates with emission of a hard photon are also very interesting, especially for the decays of heavy $D$ and $B$ mesons for which currently only model-dependent predictions are available to compare with existing experimental data.

description: Soybean production in Brazil has grown rapidly in recent years. The objective of this publication is to evaluate the potential impact of Brazilian soybean production on North Dakota and other producers. Brazil, followed by Argentina, is the leading producer in South America. All South American soybean production surpassed the United States during 2002-03. In Brazil, production and yields have grown the fastest in Mato Grosso (Center-West) and other expansion states that have Cerrado land. Soybean costs of production for 2003 harvest are considerably lower in Mato Grosso than in North Dakota and Iowa even when freight costs to Rotterdam are considered, giving them a strong competitive position in the world market. Consequently, Mato Grosso soybean production is considerably more profitable. In the future, a 500 percent increase in Brazil cropland acres is possible. It would appear that world demand can accommodate the current pace of growth in Brazil at prices profitable to North Dakota producers.
Gas permeation through a polymer network

description: We study the diffusion of gas molecules through a two-dimensional network of polymers with the help of Monte Carlo simulations. The polymers are modeled as non-interacting random walks on the bonds of a two-dimensional square lattice, while the gas particles occupy the lattice cells. When a particle attempts to jump to a nearest-neighbor empty cell, it has to overcome an energy barrier which is determined by the number of polymer segments on the bond separating the two cells. We investigate the gas current $J$ as a function of the mean segment density $ρ$, the polymer length $\ell$ and the probability $q^{m}$ for hopping across $m$ segments. Whereas $J$ decreases monotonically with $ρ$ for fixed $\ell$, its behavior for fixed $ρ$ and increasing $\ell$ depends strongly on $q$. For small, non-zero $q$, $J$ appears to increase slowly with $\ell$. In contrast, for $q=0$, it is dominated by the underlying percolation problem and can be non-monotonic. We provide heuristic arguments to put these interesting phenomena into context.

description: The literature on the economic and fiscal impacts of in-migrating retirees on rural communities concentrates on the young, newly-retired. An issue not systematically addressed are the impacts on the communities as these retirees age. The Wisconsin Economic Impact Modeling System, a county level conjoined input-output/econometrics simulation model, is used to assess the impact of an aging rural population. Using data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey, profiles of two household types are constructed and used to simulate the economic impact of an additional 500 elderly households into a small rural economy. Household types vary by age and, as a result, have different income levels and expenditure patterns. As hypothesized, the magnitude and nature of impacts is in direct proportion to relative household size and income level.

A non-extensive Boltzmann equation, which is able to form such spectra as a stationary solution, is utilized as a rough model of quark matter hadronization. Basic ideas about non-extensive simulation of the QCD equation of state on the lattice are presented.

description: Currently the management of irrigation systems in Uzberistan is carried out by state water organizations at all levels (national, regional, and district). As the irrigation system was developing the size of some areas was increasing. An analysis of the current situation illustrates that with increases in yield and water use no proper operation and maintenance of the systems was provided which resulted in their breakdown; so that new investments are required for restoration. However, the structure and functions of existing institutions, resulting in lack of incentives for individuals, are not likely to achieve efficient water use and operation of the system. It is therefore considered that institutional reforms are required to provide incentives for more efficient operation and maintenance of irrigation systems, while reducing costs.

description: We use the optical and near-infrared galaxy samples from the Munich Near-Infrared Cluster Survey (MUNICS), the FORS Deep Field (FDF) and GOODS-S to probe the stellar mass assembly history of field galaxies out to z ~ 5. Combining information on the galaxies' stellar mass with their star-formation rate and the age of the stellar population, we can draw important conclusions on the assembly of the most massive galaxies in the universe: These objects contain the oldest stellar populations at all redshifts probed. Furthermore, we show that with increasing redshift the contribution of star-formation to the mass assembly for massive galaxies increases dramatically, reaching the era of their formation at z ~ 2 and beyond. These findings can be interpreted as evidence for an early epoch of star formation in the most massive galaxies in the universe.

description: The Armenian land privatization program is unique among former Soviet Republics in regard to the speed and completeness of its implementation. Armenia is the smallest of the Republics, with a population of 3.7 million, and was left highly dependent on outside sources for energy and raw materials for industries, and grain for its people and livestock. Privatization, began in 1991, was largely completed by 1993. The greatly increased number of individual owners created a need for major restructuring of the industries supplying agriculture and marketing its outputs. Problems in the substructures from technical supplies to storage and marketing are described. Recommendations are for the adoption of policies in the substructural spheres of agriculture that will contribute to the future development of agriculture in Armenia. These policies include improved contractual relations, cooperatives, niche marketing, and restructuring of various service corporations.

description: We study the condensation phenomenon in a zero range process on scale-free networks. We show that the stationary state property depends only on the degree distribution of underlying networks. The model displays a stationary state phase transition between a condensed phase and an uncondensed phase, and the phase diagram is obtained analytically. As for the dynamical property, we find that the relaxation dynamics depends on the global structure of underlying networks. The relaxation time follows the power law $τ\sim L^z$ with the network size $L$ in the condensed phase. The dynamic exponent $z$ is found to take a different value depending on whether underlying networks have a tree structure or not.

description: Additional file 7: Fig. S6. Electron micrographs of the second biopsy at age 6. Ultrastructure of glomeruli after immunosuppressive therapy. (a) The amount of capillary deposition decreased relative to that of the first biopsy. However, some deposits remained in the subendothelial (arrow) and subepithelial regions (arrowheads). Double arrows indicate deposit-free capillary wall. Scale bar, 2 μm. (b) Scalloping and irregular thickening of the GBM observed along with electron-lucent matrix expansion (asterisks). Podocytes were deformed with cytoplasmic vacuolization, foot-process effacement, and microvilli formation. Scale bar, 2 μm. (c) Mesangial matrices and fragmented electron-dense depositions (asterisks) increased in the paramesangial regions. Scale bar, 2 μm. (d) The GBM was abnormally thickened and partially split due to an accumulation of fine granular deposits in the subendothelial and subepithelial regions, as well as mesangial interposition. Scale bar, 2 μm.

description: We prove global rigidity for compact hyperbolic and spherical cone-3-manifolds with cone-angles $\leq π$ (which are not Seifert fibered in the spherical case), furthermore for a class of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds of finite volume with cone-angles $\leq π$, possibly with boundary consisting of totally geodesic hyperbolic turnovers. To that end we first generalize our local rigidity result to the setting of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds of finite volume as above. We then use the geometric techniques developed by Boileau, Leeb and Porti to deform the cone-manifold structure to a complete non-singular or a geometric orbifold structure, where global rigidity holds due to Mostow-Prasad rigidity in the hyperbolic case, resp. a result of de Rham in the spherical case. This strategy has already been implemented successfully by Kojima in the compact hyperbolic case if the singular locus is a link using Hodgson-Kerckhoff local rigidity.

description: Summary statistics and corresponding Spearman correlation coefficients are illustrated for various subsets of aromatic rough rice storage time and temperature data from (a) the College Station texture sensory panel, (b) the New Orleans aroma and flavor sensory panel, and (c) the Beaumont USDA-ARS Rice Quality Laboratory. These correlations represent the inclinations of seemingly-related measures of several attributes to "move together," acting as an indicator of their associations with or impacts on one another.
Probing and steering bulk and surface phonon polaritons in uniaxial materials using fast electrons: hexagonal boron nitride

description: We theoretically describe how fast electrons couple to polaritonic modes in uniaxial materials by analyzing the electron energy loss (EEL) spectra. We show that in the case of an uniaxial medium with hyperbolic dispersion, bulk and surface modes can be excited by a fast electron traveling through the volume or along an infinite interface between the material and vacuum. Interestingly, and in contrast to the excitations in isotropic materials, bulk modes can be excited by fast electrons traveling outside the uniaxial medium. We demonstrate our findings with the representative uniaxial material hexagonal boron nitride. We show that the excitation of bulk and surface phonon polariton modes is strongly related to the electron velocity and highly dependent on the angle between the electron beam trajectory and the optical axis of the material. Our work provides a systematic study for understanding bulk and surface polaritons excited by a fast electron beam in hyperbolic materials and sets a way to steer and control the propagation of the polaritonic waves by changing the electron velocity and its direction.
On the He II Emission In Eta Carinae and the Origin of Its Spectroscopic Events

description: We describe and analyze Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of transient emission near 4680 Å in Eta Car, reported earlier by Steiner & Damineli (2004). If, as seems probable, this is He II $λ$4687, then it is a unique clue to Eta Car's 5.5-year cycle. According to our analysis, several aspects of this feature support a mass-ejection model of the observed spectroscopic events, and not an eclipse model. The He II emission appeared in early 2003, grew to a brief maximum during the 2003.5 spectroscopic event, and then abruptly disappeared. It did not appear in any other HST spectra before or after the event. The peak brightness was larger than previously reported, and is difficult to explain even if one allows for an uncertainty factor of order 3. The stellar wind must provide a temporary larger-than-normal energy supply, and we describe a special form of radiative amplification that may also be needed. These characteristics are consistent with a class of mass-ejection or wind-disturbance scenarios, which have implications for the physical structure and stability of Eta Car.

description: The imported fire ant has become a major economic pest to various sectors of the Texas economy. In order to determine the economic impact of this pest on selected urban areas, an economic study was conducted in 1998-1999 in the 5 metroplexes of Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Houston to estimate the costs of controlling and managing fire ants. The main purpose of this study was to estimate the annual economic impact of the fire ant on the households, schools, cities, and golf courses for the aforementioned metroplexes. Other sectors within the urban areas are affected but this study shows the major impacted sectors that interfere with the human activities in living areas, work areas and recreational areas. Annual expenditures for the management and control of fire ants was selected as an indicator of the annual economic impact. This study found that the annual expenditure for fire ant control and management in these metroplexes amounted to over $581 million. The total annual expense by sector amounted to $526 million for households, $29 million for golf courses, $25 million for schools, and $0.6 million for cities. These annual cost figures do not include multiple family housing or costs born by electrical utility companies, communication firms and cable companies. These data are available from the Texas Tech University study conducted by E. Segarra, et.al. The annual costs of control and management of fire ants were distributed by metroplex as follows: $61 million for Austin, $121.5 million for Dallas, $74.9 million for Fort Worth, $121.9 million for Houston and $202 million for San Antonio. The costs by expenditure items were as follows: $301.5 million for fire ant control and treatment, $80.6 million for repairs, $152 million for costs of equipment replacement and $47.2 million for medical treatment. The study also revealed information about location of damaged areas, respondents' valuation of the activities curtailed by fire ants and their willingness to pay for effective fire ant management.

description: In this study, self-optimization of a grinding machine is demonstrated with respect to production costs, while fulfilling quality and safety constraints. The quality requirements of the final workpiece are defined with respect to grinding burn and surface roughness, and the safety constraints are defined with respect to the temperature at the grinding surface. Grinding temperature is measured at the contact zone between the grinding wheel and workpiece using a pyrometer and an optical fiber, which is embedded inside the rotating grinding wheel. Constrained Bayesian optimization combined with Gaussian process models is applied to determine the optimal feed rate and cutting speed of a cup wheel grinding machine manufacturing tungsten carbide cutting inserts. The approach results in the determination of optimal parameters for unknown workpiece and tool combinations after only a few grinding trials. It also incorporates the uncertainty of the constraints in the prediction of optimal parameters by using stochastic process models.

description: Scalar fields appear in many cosmological models, in particular in order to provide explanations for dark energy and inflation, but also to emulate dark matter. In this paper, we show that it is possible for a scalar field to replace simultaneously dark matter, dark energy and inflation by assuming the existence of a non-minimal coupling to gravity, a Mexican hat potential, and a spontaneous symmetry breaking before inflation. After inflation, the scalar field behaves like a dark fluid, mimicking dark energy and dark matter, and has a dark matter behaviour similar to fuzzy dark matter.

description: In this paper a fully Eulerian solver for the study of multiphase flows for simulating the propagation of surface gravity waves over submerged bodies is presented. We solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the volume of fluid technique for the modeling of the liquid phases with the interface, an immersed body method for the solid bodies and an iterative strong-coupling procedure for the fluid-structure interaction. The flow incompressibility is enforced via the solution of a Poisson equation which, owing to the density jump across the interfaces of the liquid phases, has to resort to the splitting procedure of Dodd & Ferrante [12]. The solver is validated through comparisons against classical test cases for fluid-structure interaction like migration of particles in pressure-driven channel, multiphase flows, water exit of a cylinder and a good agreement is found for all tests. Furthermore, we show the application of the solver to the case of a surface gravity wave propagating over a submerged reversed pendulum and verify that the solver can reproduce the energy exchange between the wave and the pendulum. Finally the three-dimensional spilling breaking of a wave induced by a submerged sphere is considered.
