description: The National Dairy Heifer Evaluation Project ( NDHEP ) was conducted by the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS ) from April 1991 through July 1992 with the assistance of 1,811 producers from 28 states. Producers included in the study each had herds of 30 or more milk cows, representing 78 percent of the milk cows in the U.S. The average total of cattle and calves on each operation was 169.4. The main breed on 94.9% of operations was Holstein. Slightly over 46 percent of operations stated reproductive problems as the cause of low milk production of cows culled from the herd. Newborn calves were separated from their mothers before nursing on 28.0 percent of operations and less than 12 hours after birth on 39.6 percent of operations. On 64.0 percent of operations, calves received their first feeding of colostrum via hand feeding from a bucket or bottle. Of operations using hand feeding, 94.6% fed first milk from the mother (as opposed to other colostrum or substitute) to calves. Calves received, on average, between two and four quarts of colostrum during the first 24 hours. A variety of liquid feeds were used after colostrum was fed; the two most widely utilized were milk replacer ( 59.0 percent of operations ) and milk from cows recently calved ( 51.9 percent of operations ). Calves were weaned from liquid ration at an average age of 7.9 weeks. The average age of heifers at first calving was 25.9 months. The most common illness among dairy heifer calves was scours (53.8 percent of operations ), with respiratory problems as the second most common illness (12.1 percent of operations ). Scours was estimated to cause 52.2 percent of deaths ( 4.4 percent of calves born ) among dairy heifer calves from birth to weaning; respiratory problems were estimated to cause 34.8 percent of deaths ( 0.8 percent of heifer inventory ) among heifers from weaning age to first calving.

description: Section 1 of this report shows demographic changes of the U.S. beef cow-calf industry from a historical perspective from data provided by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and Census of Agriculture. Results of two NAHMS national studies in Section II complete the overview of change in the U.S. beef cow-calf industry during the 5-year period from 1993 to 1997. NAHMS, CHAPA Phase I included data collected from 2,539 cow-calf operations in the 48 continental states via telephone during the fall of 1992. Subsequent data collection was done on operations in 18 states and from producers with five or more beef cows and 50 percent or more of their calf crop born between January 1 and June 30 (spring calving) The 18 states represented 70 percent of the U.S. beef industry. Beef ,97s 2,713 producers from a 23-state target population represented 85.7 percent of U.S. beef cows on January 1, 1997, and 77.6 percent of U.S. beef operations. NASS enumerators collected data for this report via a questionnaire administered on-farm from December 30, 1996, through February 3, 1997. This report provides national estimates of animal health and management practices for comparable populations from both studies. Contact For This Paper: David Dargatz

description: We investigate the stretching response of a thick polymer model by means of extensive stochastic simulations. The computational results are synthesized in an analytic expression that characterizes how the force versus elongation curve depends on the polymer structural parameters: its thickness and granularity (spacing of the monomers). The expression is used to analyze experimental data for the stretching of various different types of biopolymers: polypeptides, polysaccharides and nucleic acids. Besides recovering elastic parameters (such as the persistence length) that are consistent with those obtained from standard entropic models, the approach allows to extract viable estimates for the polymers diameter and granularity. This shows that the basic structural polymer features have such a profound impact on the elastic behaviour that they can be recovered with the sole input of stretching measurements.

Subjects: Financial Economics

description: Rural families pay more on average for mortgage financing than do urban families. While the $2 million estimated annual efficiency cost is too low to justify policy action, the estimated $300 million of additional interest paid by rural borrowers presents an equity concern. Part the difference in interest rates may be due to inefficiencies in rural financial markets. Low-cost remedies improve secondary market access, promote Federal mortgage guarantees, or generally improve the delivery of mortgage-related information to borrowers and lenders.

description: Quantum teleportation is essential for many quantum information technologies including long-distance quantum networks. Using fiber-coupled devices, including state-of-the-art low-noise superconducting nanowire single photon detectors and off-the-shelf optics, we achieve quantum teleportation of time-bin qubits at the telecommunication wavelength of 1536.5 nm. We measure teleportation fidelities of >=90% that are consistent with an analytical model of our system, which includes realistic imperfections. To demonstrate the compatibility of our setup with deployed quantum networks, we teleport qubits over 22 km of single-mode fiber while transmitting qubits over an additional 22 km of fiber. Our systems, which are compatible with emerging solid-state quantum devices, provide a realistic foundation for a high-fidelity quantum internet with practical devices.

description: We investigate the spin-orbit torque exerted on the magnetic moments of the transition-metal impurities Cr, Mn, Fe and Co, embedded in the surface of the topological insulator Bi$_{2}$Te$ _{3} $, in response to an electric field and a consequent electrical current flow in the surface. The multiple scattering problem of electrons off impurity atoms is solved by first-principles calculations within the full-potential relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green function method, while the spin-orbit torque calculations are carried out by combining the KKR method with the semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation. We analyze the correlation of the spin-orbit torque to the spin accumulation and spin flux in the defects. We compare the torque on different magnetic impurities and unveil the effect of resonant scattering. In addition, we calculate the resistivity and the Joule heat as a function of the torque in these systems. We predict that the Mn/Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ is optimal among the studied systems.

description: In this note we discuss the possibility to define a space-time with a DSR based approach. We show that the strategy of defining a non linear realization of the Lorentz symmetry with a consistent vector composition law cannot be reconciled with the extra request of an invariant length (time) scale. The latter request forces to abandon the group structure of the translations and leaves a space-time structure where points with relative distances smaller or equal to the invariant scale can not be unambiguously defined.

description: Many researches have been carried out for change detection using temporal SAR images. In this paper an algorithm for change detection using SAR videos has been proposed. There are various challenges related to SAR videos such as high level of speckle noise, rotation of SAR image frames of the video around a particular axis due to the circular movement of airborne vehicle, non-uniform back scattering of SAR pulses. Hence conventional change detection algorithms used for optical videos and SAR temporal images cannot be directly utilized for SAR videos. We propose an algorithm which is a combination of optical flow calculation using Lucas Kanade (LK) method and blob detection. The developed method follows a four steps approach: image filtering and enhancement, applying LK method, blob analysis and combining LK method with blob analysis. The performance of the developed approach was tested on SAR videos available on Sandia National Laboratories website and SAR videos generated by a SAR simulator.

description: While the 1999 drought has had severe financial impacts on agricultural producers in the drought regions, its impact on U.S. agricultural production has been limited. The drought will reduce commodity receipts relative to 1998 by an estimated $1.29 billion. Estimated farm net income losses, including expected yield losses, increases in expenses, and insurance indemnities, will total $1.35 billion, about 3 percent of expected 1999 U.S. net farm income. Drought impacts in areas of the Northeast designated as extreme and severe drought are expected to reduce farmers' net income by nearly $840 million. The regions affected, the crops grown in those regions, the increased use of irrigation, and crop insurance coverage limited the drought's impacts on agriculture nationally. Drought also affects the rural population by reducing water supplies available for human and livestock consumption.

description: Extensive attention has been widely paid to enhance the spatial resolution of hyperspectral (HS) images with the aid of multispectral (MS) images in remote sensing. However, the ability in the fusion of HS and MS images remains to be improved, particularly in large-scale scenes, due to the limited acquisition of HS images. Alternatively, we super-resolve MS images in the spectral domain by the means of partially overlapped HS images, yielding a novel and promising topic: spectral superresolution (SSR) of MS imagery. This is challenging and less investigated task due to its high ill-posedness in inverse imaging. To this end, we develop a simple but effective method, called joint sparse and low-rank learning (J-SLoL), to spectrally enhance MS images by jointly learning low-rank HS-MS dictionary pairs from overlapped regions. J-SLoL infers and recovers the unknown hyperspectral signals over a larger coverage by sparse coding on the learned dictionary pair. Furthermore, we validate the SSR performance on three HS-MS datasets (two for classification and one for unmixing) in terms of reconstruction, classification, and unmixing by comparing with several existing state-of-the-art baselines, showing the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed J-SLoL algorithm. Furthermore, the codes and datasets will be available at: https://github.com/danfenghong/IEEE\_TGRS\_J-SLoL, contributing to the RS community.

description: What is the origin of the numerous population of diffuse elliptical galaxies (dE) in clusters? These galaxies formed their stars several billion years ago and lost their gas. Though the stellar winds resulting from star formation and the interactions with the environment undoubedtly play a role, their respective role and details of the mechanism of this evolution is still debated. In this presentation we will review the first 3D spectroscopic observations of a handful of dE galaxies. These data reveal complex kinematical structures, with embedded discs and counter rotating cores, and they open extremely promising perspectives for studying the history of the stellar population throughout these various features. The presence of disks, which was already known from detailed image analysis, and of complex kinematics and the new constraints on the stellar population enforce the hypothesis of the evolutionary connection between dEs and disk galaxies.

Complete separation of both equations is carried out in cases when there are two sets of equal black hole rotation parameters. We analyze explicitly the symmetry properties of these backgrounds that allow for this Liouville integrability and construct a nontrivial irreducible Killing tensor associated with the enlarged symmetry group which permits separation. We also derive first-order equations of motion for particles in these backgrounds and examine some of their properties. This work greatly generalizes previously known results for both the Myers-Perry metrics, and the Kerr-(Anti) de Sitter metrics in higher dimensions.

We isolated the pricing behavior of brand marketers, wholesalers, and retailers by observing the retail prices for specific orange juice products, including leading national brands and private label brands, in 54 U.S. markets over a 1-year period. The data provided little compelling evidence that consolidated markets engaged in non-competitive pricing behavior. Increased brand competition, particularly between private labels and leading national brands, did, however, appear to lower average market prices.

description: The controversial introduction of rbST, a laboratory version of bST, a growth hormone that stimulates milk production in cows, may provide hopeful lessons for other foods produced by biotechnology. Milk sales remained steady after rbST became available to dairy farmers, even though a multitude of public opinion surveys documented widespread concern about food safety and biotechnology, and some analysts predicted a drop in milk consumption of up to 20 percent. The undiminished consumer demand for milk may indicate that consumers will also accept other animal food products from biotechnology. The rbST experience suggests that, while scientific evidence of food safety will not prevent controversy over biotech foods, controversy will not necessarily inhibit consumer demand for the food.

description: Due to the limitations of hyperspectral imaging systems, hyperspectral imagery (HSI) often suffers from poor spatial resolution, thus hampering many applications of the imagery. Hyperspectral super-resolution refers to fusing HSI and MSI to generate an image with both high spatial and high spectral resolutions. Recently, several new methods have been proposed to solve this fusion problem, and most of these methods assume that the prior information of the Point Spread Function (PSF) and Spectral Response Function (SRF) are known. However, in practice, this information is often limited or unavailable. In this work, an unsupervised deep learning-based fusion method - HyCoNet - that can solve the problems in HSI-MSI fusion without the prior PSF and SRF information is proposed. HyCoNet consists of three coupled autoencoder nets in which the HSI and MSI are unmixed into endmembers and abundances based on the linear unmixing model. Two special convolutional layers are designed to act as a bridge that coordinates with the three autoencoder nets, and the PSF and SRF parameters are learned adaptively in the two convolution layers during the training process. Furthermore, driven by the joint loss function, the proposed method is straightforward and easily implemented in an end-to-end training manner. The experiments performed in the study demonstrate that the proposed method performs well and produces robust results for different datasets and arbitrary PSFs and SRFs.

description: Educating low-income women about the advantages of breastfeeding their babies increases the number who breastfeed. This report summarizes the results of four projects that focused primarily on promoting breastfeeding, which is considered to be the most healthful and beneficial feeding method for most infants. Research has shown that breastfeeding improves the general health, growth, and development of infants and significantly reduces the risk of several health problems both during early life and in later years. Lower income women have been less likely to breastfeed than higher income women. One step the USDA has taken to promote breastfeeding is the ES/WIC Nutrition Education Initiative. This combines the strengths of two nutrition programs for low-income families, the Cooperative Extension System's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program and the Food and Nutrition Service's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. This report shows that breastfeeding education before delivery increases the initiation of breastfeeding among low-income women. The results also indicate that breastfeeding support soon after delivery increases the duration of breastfeeding.

description: Many rural communities have benefited from the attraction of retirees in recent years. With the baby boom generation beginning to make retirement decisions, many other rural communities might consider economic development strategies based on attracting and retaining retirees. This report reviews the literature on the impacts (both positive and negative) of retiree attraction in rural areas and indicates which places might benefit most (slow growth or declining population) and least (rapid growth) from retiree attraction. Factors indicating local potential to attract retirees include natural and manmade amenities, proximity to cities and tourism, and past record of attracting retirees. Recent State retiree-attraction initiatives are examined, such as direct State technical assistance and marketing, the use of local self-help models, targeting previous residents, and promoting the development of planned retirement communities.
A framework for evaluating the safety benefits of intelligent transportation systems

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The benefits of ITS are indirectly represented by the annual world market for ITS, which according to ITS Canada will be CDN $90 billion by 2011. Improved safety is often cited as being the top goal of implementing ITS, followed by others relating to efficiency, economic productivity, and the environment. However, despite the magnitude of these investments and their underlying goal to improve transportation safety, and despite the inherent recognition of the safety improvement potential of ITS by transportation professionals, there is a deficiency in the quantity and quality of reported ITS safety benefits. Much of the existing evaluations and reported benefits to date suffer from the lack of an evaluation framework and inconsistent terminology used to attribute benefits to ITS application areas. In light of these issues, and the ongoing need in the ITS community to better demonstrate the safety benefits of ITS, a framework has been developed for evaluating the safety benefits of ITS. This framework is unique in that it uses the ITS application areas defined by the market packages in the Canadian ITS Architecture and categorizes and correlates them against a distinct set of metrics defined to measure the safety benefits of ITS. Furthermore, the metrics are correlated with each other to capture the "cause" and "effect" flow of benefits and how each market packages contributes to the fundamental goal of reducing the number and severity of crashes. The need for this approach has been illustrated through a case study that demonstrates the potential disparity in benefit estimates when no framework is used. This framework will benefit future evaluations of ITS safety benefits by providing a structure for undertaking evaluations and reporting of benefits, while addressing the terminology issue through an interface with the Canadian ITS Architecture. This framework forms the basis of developing similar frameworks related to measuring benefits associated with other ITS goals. Each of these individual frameworks could be linked together (via their common "cause" and "effect" metrics to provide an overall framework for evaluating all ITS benefits. This overall framework could be integrated with the Canadian ITS Architecture documentation and training programs to ensure that the evaluation of ITS benefits becomes an integral part of ITS planning and design.
Would More Rural Bank Access to Nonlocal Funds Provide Public Benefits?

description: Restructuring of U.S. banking markets has raised concerns that insufficient access to loanable funds will limit economic growth in some rural areas. Access to nonlocal funds can provide public benefits through enhanced competition and efficiency, but subsidized access to nonlocal funds can create economic distortions. Because most rural areas are served by few lenders, public benefits may be limited if additional access does not encourage new competition. Unsubsidized market mechanisms could address the liquidity, risk management, and competitive challenges that some small rural banks may face. At the same time, market mechanisms can promote efficiency-enhancing use of nonlocal funding and limit distortions.

Zest exhibits properties such as boost invariance, stability against global color exchange among partons, and inclusion or exclusion of a few soft particles in the jet. We also observe that for gluon jets, zest distribution is mostly insensitive to the jet mass. These properties make zest a suitable candidate for vetoing gluon jets at the colliders. Zest when used in conjunction with other substructure observables that are uncorrelated to it can further improve gluon jet veto. We generalize zest and show that in one limit it is synonymous to particle multiplicity and in the other limit, it projects only the leading particle. Optimization on the parameter of generalized zest further improves the discrimination ability of the observable. We find that for the top quark-initiated jets, the discrimination provided by generalized zest is in close comparison with a class of machine learning-based top taggers. We propose that studying other non-linear infrared and collinear unsafe observables may help in unveiling the hidden physics of machine learning-based observables.

description: We introduce a new protocol for a lossy data compression algorithm which is based on constraint satisfaction gates. We show that the theoretical capacity of algorithms built from standard parity-check gates converges exponentially fast to the Shannon's bound when the number of variables seen by each gate increases. We then generalize this approach by introducing random gates. They have theoretical performances nearly as good as parity checks, but they offer the great advantage that the encoding can be done in linear time using the Survey Inspired Decimation algorithm, a powerful algorithm for constraint satisfaction problems derived from statistical physics.

description: We calculate the baryon octet masses to fourth order in chiral perturbation theory employing dimensional and cut-off regularization. We analyze the pion and kaon mass dependences of the baryon masses based on the MILC data. We show that chiral perturbation theory gives stable chiral extrapolation functions for pion (kaon) masses below 550 (600) MeV. The pion-nucleon sigma term in SU(3) is also investigated, we find σ_{πN} (0) = 50.7 - 53.7 MeV.

description: Many people use social networking services (SNSs) to easily access various news. There are numerous ways to obtain and share ``fake news,'' which are news carrying false information. To address fake news, several studies have been conducted for detecting fake news by using SNS-extracted features. In this study, we attempt to use temporal features generated from SNS posts by using a point process algorithm to identify fake news from real news. Temporal features in fake news detection have the advantage of robustness over existing features because it has minimal dependence on fake news propagators. Further, we propose a novel multi-modal attention-based method, which includes linguistic and user features alongside temporal features, for detecting fake news from SNS posts. Results obtained from three public datasets indicate that the proposed model achieves better performance compared to existing methods and demonstrate the effectiveness of temporal features for fake news detection.

description: The analysis focused on economic forces influencing U.S. lamb consumption at the consumer level. The demand for lamb was shown to be inelastic. Key determinants of lamb consumption were habit persistence, seasonality, own price, and the price of pork. Income, trend and the price of beef were not statistically important factors.

description: The "quantronium" is a superconducting qubit consisting of a split Cooper pair box in which a large tunnel junction is inserted. This circuit has a special bias point where the Larmor frequency is, to first order, insensitive to fluctuations in the bias parameters -- the charge of the box island and the phase of the large junction. At this optimal working point, the state of the qubit can be determined by dispersive measurements that probe the second derivative of the state energy with respect to these bias parameters. We use the quantronium phase degree of freedom to perform a non-linear, dispersive measurement of its inductive response using bifurcation amplification. This novel readout projects the state of the qubit in a few nanoseconds, and its latching property allows us to record the resulting information in a few hundred nanoseconds. We have measured, using this technique, Rabi oscillations and Ramsey fringes with an improved signal to noise ratio and contrast. The speed of this new readout scheme also opens the door for a new class of experiments which would characterize the relaxation processes associated with the measurement protocol.

description: This paper investigates the performance of the thermal wave radar imaging technique in low-power vibrothermography, so-called vibro-thermal wave radar (VTWR), for non-destructive inspection of composites. VTWR is applied by binary phase modulation of the vibrational excitation using a 5 bit Barker coded waveform, followed by matched filtering of the thermal response. The depth resolvability of VTWR is analyzed by a 1D analytical formulation in which defects are modeled as subsurface heating sources. The obtained results reveal the outperformance of VTWR compared to the classical lock-in vibrothermography (LVT), i.e. a sinusoidal amplitude modulation. Furthermore, the VTWR technique is experimentally demonstrated on a 5.5 mm thick carbon fiber reinforced polymer coupon with barely visible impact damage. A local defect resonance frequency of a backside delamination is selected as the vibrational carrier frequency. This allows for implementing VTWR in the low-power regime (input power < 1 Watt). It is shown that the Barker coded amplitude modulation and the resultant pulse compression efficiency lead to an increased probing depth, and can fully resolve the deep backside delamination. It is also shown that VTWR approach allows depth-selective imaging of defects through the lag of the compressed pulse.

description: We propose a quantum analog of the internal combustion engine used in most cars. Specifically, we study how to implement the Otto-type quantum heat engine (QHE) with the assistance of a Maxwell's demon. Three steps are required: thermalization, quantum measurement, and quantum feedback controlled by the Maxwell demon. We derive the positive-work condition of this composite QHE. Our QHE can be constructed using superconducting quantum circuits. We explicitly demonstrate the essential role of the demon in this macroscopic QHE.

Impact behaviour of concrete under multiaxial loading
Creators: name: Sukontasukkul, Piti
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Impact testing of concrete under different types of loading conditions (compression, tension and bending) has been carried out worldwide. However, it has been found that the results are mostly not comparable due to the differences in testing techniques and specimen configurations. In this study, a series of impact tests: compression, 1-dimensional bending (beam tests) and 2-dimensional bending (plate tests) were carried out using the same testing technique (drop weight machine) and similar configuration (hammer weight, height and impact energy). Concrete exhibited more rate sensitivity under 1-D flexure than under compression. However, in 2D flexure, the rate sensitivity of concrete decreased significantly, to a level about the same as that under compression. In addition, the impact behavior of concrete under confining stress was also investigated. The confinement technique adopted here was of the active type using the instrumented confinement apparatus designed and constructed at the University o f British Columbia. These experiments were also carried out in compression and flexure ( ID and 2D). In all cases, the measured properties of concrete (failure mode, stress-strain response, strength, inertial load, and rate sensitivity) changed significantly with increasing confining stress. Under confined compression, the failure mode of concrete changed from a shear cone to splitting failure and resulted in higher stress rate sensitivity. However, under confined flexure, the stress rate sensitivity decreased with increasing confinement due to the change of the failure mode from flexure to shear. To complete the confinement study, a further investigation on the effect of the loading platen stiffness (soft or hard) and tup diameter (plate specimens only) was also carried out. Analytically, scalar damage mechanics (SDM) was used to predict the behavior of confined and unconfined concretes under both static and impact loading. The damage measurement technique was selected differently, depending upon the kind of loading (static or impact). Under static loading, the damage was defined in terms of the change or degradation of elastic modulus (E). However, the strain rate variation was used to define the damage of concrete under impact loading. It was found that the use of S DM to predict the response of concrete works quite well; the predicted responses of concrete under both loading conditions agreed reasonably with the measured responses.
