Waiting to be weighed : a pilot project comparing two different infant weighing practices of community health nurses and their effect on breastfeeding outcomes
Creators: name: Thomson, Trisha Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Breastfeeding initiation rates are rising in Canada; however, the duration rates remain far below what is recommended internationally. Maternal breastfeeding confidence has been supported in the literature as a key variable influencing breastfeeding initiation and duration; community health nurses (CHNs) have been identified as positive influences on breastfeeding outcomes. Because breastfeeding has positive effects for mothers and infants, examining specific CHN practices and their effects on breastfeeding outcomes is imperative. A practice that is potentially important for breastfeeding outcomes is newborn weighing at home following discharge from hospital. The literature offers limited research examining the effects of newborn weighing practices on maternal confidence levels, breastfeeding attrition or formula supplementation volumes. This purpose of this experimental, pretest - posttest feasibility study was to compare breastfeeding self-efficacy, intended duration of breastfeeding and formula supplementation volumes between two groups of mothers and newborns exposed to different weighing protocols in Vancouver, BC. Newborns randomized to a control group were weighed 24 hours following hospital discharge (day two or three postpartum), and subsequent days following until there was a demonstrated weight gain, while those in the experimental group were not weighed until day five postpartum when a gain in weight was anticipated following maternal breast milk establishment. Variables were measured during the initial CHN visit 24 hours post discharge and two weeks later. Fifty-five women were recruited and randomly assigned to groups. Hypothesis three was partially supported. Although there was no significant difference in volumes of formula supplementation between groups, the group weighed 24 hours post discharge had significantly higher increases in volumes of formula supplementation from two or three days to two weeks than the five day weight group. Hypotheses one and two were not supported, that is there were no significant differences between groups on breastfeeding confidence and intended breastfeeding duration. There was a trend in the data supporting hypothesis one, which indicated that weighing infants prior to day five would have a negative effect on maternal confidence. Specifically, there was a small decrease in control group confidence and an increase in experimental group confidence over time. The findings from this small sample size provide support for conducting a larger study to investigate the potential influence of CHN weighing practices on breastfeeding confidence, intended breastfeeding duration and formula supplementation volumes. Implications for nursing practice, education, health policy and future research are discussed.
System Size and Centrality Dependence of the Balance Function in A + A Collisions at s(NN)^(1/2) = 17.2 GeV

description: Electric charge correlations were studied for p+p, C+C, Si+Si and centrality selected Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 17.2$ GeV with the NA49 large acceptance detector at the CERN-SPS. In particular, long range pseudo-rapidity correlations of oppositely charged particles were measured using the Balance Function method. The width of the Balance Function decreases with increasing system size and centrality of the reactions. This decrease could be related to an increasing delay of hadronization in central Pb+Pb collisions.

description: A vidékfejlesztés definiálása még nem megoldott a tudomány részéről. Annak az EU általi meghatározása, illetve a nemzeti sajátosságok fontosságának elismerése azonban stabil alapot teremtenek a hazai vidéki gazdaság sikeres fejlesztéséhez. Az élet kikényszerítette vidékfejlesztés megjelenése a KAP részeként, majd annak határozottabb irányvétele az AGENDA 2000-ben e második pillér jelentős erősödését hozta magával, amelynek a költségvetésen belüli aránya még nem meghatározó, de tendenciálisan izmosodó. A jövőre nézve a mezőgazdaság nem játszhatja már a motor szerepét a vidék gazdaságának fejlődésében, de részvétele és fontossága a vidéki gazdaság gyarapításában sem meg nem megkérdőjelezhető, sem nem mellőzhető. A mezőgazdaság vidékfejlesztésbeni szerepének mértéket alapvetően a kapott támogatások nagysága határozza meg és csak kisebb részben a szektor belső erőforrásai. A vidékfejlesztésben a mezőgazdaság által vállalható szerep egyrészt a szabályozási környezettől függ, másrészt attól, hogy ebben a környezetben a mezőgazdaság mennyire képes erőforrásait mozgósítani és hatékonyan felhasználni. ------------------ The definition of rural development has not yet been exactly formulated by science in Hungary. However, its definition formulated by the European Union, along with the recognition of the importance of national characteristics, provides a stable basis for the successful development of rural economy also in this country. The circumstance that rural development, which had been enforced by life, has become a part of CAP, and has been even more emphasised by AGENDA 2000, has resulted in the strengthening of this pillar. It is true that its ratio within the budget is not yet decisive but exhibits an increasing trend. As for the future, agriculture will not be capable of playing the role of the prime mover in the development of rural economy. However, its participation in, and importance for, the increase in rural economy is neither questionable nor negligible. The extent of the role of agriculture in rural development is determined by the amount of subsidies it receives, and only to a smaller extent by its internal resources. The role agriculture may play in rural development depends on the environment of regulation, on the one hand, and on the question to what extent agriculture is capable of mobilising its resources and exploiting them in an effective way in this environment, on the other.

description: We study the photoelectric current generated by a driving light with nonclassical photon statistics. Due to the nonclassical input photon statistics, it is no longer enough to treat the driving light as a planar wave as in classical physics. We make a quantum approach to study such problems, and find that: when the driving light starts from a coherent state as the initial state, our quantum treatment well returns the quasi-classical driving description; when the the driving light is a generic state with a certain P function, the full system dynamics can be reduced as the P function average of many "branches" -- in each dynamics branch, the driving light starts from a coherent state, thus again the system dynamics can be obtained in the above quasi-classical way. Based on this quantum approach, it turns out the different photon statistics does make differences to the photoelectric current. Among all the classical light states with the same light intensity, we prove that the input light with Poisson statistics generates the largest photoelectric current, while a nonclassical sub-Poisson light could exceed this classical upper bound.

description: Kenneth Baylis Jarvis and his twin brother, Philip Baylis Jarvis, were born in Redditch in 1896, the sons of Walter and Emily Jarvis. The family lived in Archer Road, Redditch and attended St Stephen's School. At the age of 14 in 1911 Kenneth was employed as a junior law clerk.

Kenneth Jarvis enlisted in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment as Private 16/1964 on 10th December 1915 at Redditch. He was 19 years 5 months of age and prior to enlisting was employed as a coal merchants clerk. He was posted immediately to the army reserve before being mobilised on 4th September 1916. Kenneth embarked for France on 6th October 1916 and saw action on the Somme. He was admitted to hospital in Rouen, France on 13th November 1916 and invalided home to England on 1st January 1917 where he was admitted to the 4th Northern General Hospital in Lincoln. He was deemed fit enough to rejoin his regiment at a camp in Cork, Ireland on 10th April 1917 before being posted to Catterick. Kenneth was posted overseas to France on 4th April 1918. He was transferred to the Royal Berkshire Regiment, service no 50640, on 30th April 1918 with whom he served as part of the occupation force after the cessation of hostilities prior to being discharged from the army in April 1919. Sadly, his twin brother Philip was killed in action at the age of 21 during the battle of Passchendaele on 27th October 1917.

Returning to civilian life, Kenneth took up employment at Clarkes Spring Manufactures in 1924, remaining with the company until his retirement in 1964. He died in Redditch in 1975 aged 79.

description: Si1-xGex/Si1-yGey/Si(100) heterostructures grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) were used in order to study B surface segregation during growth and B lattice diffusion. Ge concentration and stress effects were separated. Analysis of B segregation during growth shows that: i) for layers in epitaxy on (100)Si), B segregation decreases with increasing Ge concentration, i.e. with increased compressive stress, ii) for unstressed layers, B segregation increases with Ge concentration, iii) at constant Ge concentration, B segregation increases for layers in tension and decreases for layers in compression. The contrasting behaviors observed as a function of Ge concentration in compressively stressed and unstressed layers can be explained by an increase of the equilibrium segregation driving force induced by Ge additions and an increase of near-surface diffusion in compressively stressed layers. Analysis of lattice diffusion shows that: i) in unstressed layers, B lattice diffusion coefficient decreases with increasing Ge concentration, ii) at constant Ge concentration, the diffusion coefficient of B decreases with compressive biaxial stress and increases with tensile biaxial stress, iii) the volume of activation of B diffusion () is positive for biaxial stress while it is negative in the case of hydrostatic pressure. This confirms that under a biaxial stress the activation volume is reduced to the relaxation volume.

Quantum-dynamical low energy magnetic excitations are evidenced in this novel compound. We study the evolution of the muon relaxation rate with $p$, $T$ and field. A phenomenological model for the muon relaxation based on sporadic dynamics due to spin excitations in a singlet sea proposed by Uemura \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{73}, 3306 (1994)]. is extended to all fields and $T$-range. Its connexion to the RVB picture is discussed, and we argue that such coherent states might mediate the interactions between "impurities" which induce the spin glass freezing.

description: Az előadásokból kitűnt, hogy sok tekintetben új helyzet előtt áll az agrárgazdaság. A nemzetgazdaságon belüli súlyának csökkenése, a tulajdon- és birtokviszonyok gyökeres átalakulása, az üzemi szervezeti viszonyokban mutatkozó zavarok, a termelőerőinek állapota, a hatékonysági gondok, az árszintek és az árak nyereségtartalma stb. mind olyan problémák, amelyekkel az EU csatlakozástól függetlenül, sőt annak hatásával is számolva mindenképpen foglalkozni kell az agrárgazdasági tudományterületnek. Az előadások fényében az alábbi kutatási témák megkülönböztetett figyelmet érdemelnek: a szinte egyedülállóan sajátos magyarországi birtok és üzemi viszonyok; az önerős fejlesztés pénzügyi lehetőségeinek feltételei; a termékpálya integrációk kérdései; az ökológiai adottságok és a termelés összefüggései; a vidékfejlesztés és a mezőgazdaság kapcsolatrendszere; a reálfolyamatok értékképzésének vizsgálata; a termelési szerkezet és a fenntarthatóság; a vállalkozási, irányítási menedzsment és a multifunkcionális mezőgazdaság. ---------------- Lectures delivered on the issue in question have shown that agriculture has to face a new situation in many respects. Such problems as the reduction of its role within national economy, radical changes of proprietorship and possession, disturbances in farm organisation, bad state of productive forces, troubles of efficiency, low level of prices and profits within the latter etc., agricultural economic science has to deal with even irrespective of the entry of Hungary into the European Union, but also taking the effect of the latter into consideration. Following topics deserve special attention by research in the light of the lectures: Hungarian possession and farm conditions, which are almost uniquely specific; conditions of financial possibilities of development based on own resources; issues of integration along the product channel; correlation between ecological conditions and agricultural production; system of correlation between rural development and agriculture; investigation of value creation by real processes; structure of production and sustainability; enterprise and control management in multifunctional agriculture.

title: The Chorography of the Modern City

Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Until the nineteenth century, space was represented and produced through mathematically constructed drawings: plans and sections captured buildings and the scientific map recorded the territory. The development of technologies of transport brought crisis into this static and balanced world as speed and displacement radically reconfigured the subject’s orientation. This thesis examines the maps, plans, guides and signs produced in Britain in the nineteenth and twentieth century to accompany railway travelling, motoring, underground commuting and walking in the city, arguing that they indeed became chorographies of the modern metropolis. These modern chorographies not only exploited the possibilities of the graphein in order to deal with the complexities of space, time and movement, but they also prescribed a very specific knowledge, one that dictated a new way of being in space. In fact, they created a new set of spaces altogether.

description: The popularity of Artificial Intelligence (AI) -- and of Machine Learning (ML) as an approach to AI, has dramatically increased in the last few years, due to its outstanding performance in various domains, notably in image, audio, and natural language processing. In these domains, AI success-stories are boosting the applied field. When it comes to AI/ML for data communication Networks (AI4NETS), and despite the many attempts to turn networks into learning agents, the successful application of AI/ML in networking is limited. There is a strong resistance against AI/ML-based solutions, and a striking gap between the extensive academic research and the actual deployments of such AI/ML-based systems in operational environments. The truth is, there are still many unsolved complex challenges associated to the analysis of networking data through AI/ML, which hinders its acceptability and adoption in the practice. In this positioning paper I elaborate on the most important show-stoppers in AI4NETS, and present a research agenda to tackle some of these challenges, enabling a natural adoption of AI/ML for networking. In particular, I focus the future research in AI4NETS around three major pillars: (i) to make AI/ML immediately applicable in networking problems through the concepts of effective learning, turning it into a useful and reliable way to deal with complex data-driven networking problems; (ii) to boost the adoption of AI/ML at the large scale by learning from the Internet-paradigm itself, conceiving novel distributed and hierarchical learning approaches mimicking the distributed topological principles and operation of the Internet itself; and (iii) to exploit the softwarization and distribution of networks to conceive AI/ML-defined Networks (AIDN), relying on the distributed generation and re-usage of knowledge through novel Knowledge Delivery Networks (KDNs).

description: Planning is an essential topic in the realm of automated driving. Besides planning algorithms that are widely covered in the literature, planning requires different software tools for its development, validation, and execution. This paper presents a survey of such tools including map representations, communication, traffic rules, open-source planning stacks and middleware, simulation, and visualization tools as well as benchmarks. We start by defining the planning task and different supporting tools. Next, we provide a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art developments and analysis of relations among them. Finally, we discuss the current gaps and suggest future research directions.

description: Biofouling is the accumulation of organisms on surfaces immersed in water. It is of particular concern to the international shipping industry because it increases fuel costs and presents a biosecurity risk by providing a pathway for non-indigenous marine species to establish in new areas. There is growing interest within jurisdictions to strengthen biofouling risk-management regulations, but it is expensive to conduct in-water inspections and assess the collected data to determine the biofouling state of vessel hulls. Machine learning is well suited to tackle the latter challenge, and here we apply deep learning to automate the classification of images from in-water inspections to identify the presence and severity of fouling. We combined several datasets to obtain over 10,000 images collected from in-water surveys which were annotated by a group biofouling experts. We compared the annotations from three experts on a 120-sample subset of these images, and found that they showed 89% agreement (95% CI: 87-92%). Subsequent labelling of the whole dataset by one of these experts achieved similar levels of agreement with this group of experts, which we defined as performing at most 5% worse (p=0.009-0.054). Using these expert labels, we were able to train a deep learning model that also agreed similarly with the group of experts (p=0.001-0.014), demonstrating that automated analysis of biofouling in images is feasible and effective using this method.

description: When her mom suddenly leaves home in Vernon to seek a job in Vancouver, Tracey’s self-centred world is rocked. She reluctantly begins journal writing to try to express her inner turmoil. Consumed with anger, she is left caring for an irresponsible father and a troubled younger brother. But as relationships with her friends and responsibilities at school also deteriorate, Tracey is thrust into confrontation with the mom she hates. Meanwhile, Mom’s day planner reveals her hectic schedule-working two jobs to set up a new home for her kids and paying off her husband’s gambling debts. Through her notes, Victoria expresses personal struggles and doesn’t understand her daughter. Together they are tested with financial, employment, housing, and relationship issues. Victoria is time-starved and stressed in trying to achieve her goals. Tracey experiences the challenges of city life and develops empathy for the homeless as she becomes lost in the Downtown Eastside and befriends a mysterious old man. Her growing maturity is revealed as she begins to accept responsibilities for herself, her family and her school but she also makes errors in judgment that damage her integrity. Throughout her trials, Tracey’s love of country music develops into her creative outlet-writing fosters the expression of her healing soul. The primary question is the definition of home. After living in a variety of places, Tracey must decide where she ultimately belongs-with Mom in Vancouver or Dad in Vernon. When unfortunate events affect well-laid plans and it seems she has no choice, Tracey finds a solution that benefits more than just her. She reveals that damage in many relationships can be repaired when forgiveness, love and the giving and accepting of help is shared. Written in counterpoint journals- interspersed with phone messages, letters, lists, lyrics, recipes, and rental advertisements-the two narrators in this novel experience some of the same events but often with varying points of view. As they try to live together and work through misunderstandings, mother and daughter discover a deep appreciation of each others strengths and abilities in the universal theme of relationships.

description: The quantum shutter approach to tunneling time scales (G. Garc\'{ı}a-Calderón and A. Rubio, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{55}, 3361 (1997)), which uses a cutoff plane wave as the initial condition, is extended in such a way that a certain type of wave packet can be used as the initial condition. An analytical expression for the time evolved wave function is derived. The time-domain resonance, the peaked structure of the probability density (as the function of time) at the exit of the barrier, originally found with the cutoff plane wave initial condition, is studied with the wave packet initial conditions. It is found that the time-domain resonance is not very sensitive to the width of the packet when the transmission process is in the tunneling regime.

description: The reorientation of one small paramagnetic molecule (spin probe) in glassy polystyrene (PS) is studied by high-field Electron Spin Resonance spectroscopy at two different Larmor frequencies (190 and 285 GHz). The exponential distribution of the energy-barriers for the rotational motion of the spin probe is unambigously evidenced at both 240K and 270K. The same shape for the distribution of the energy-barriers of PS was evidenced by the master curves provided by previous mechanical and light scattering studies. The breadth of the energy-barriers distribution of the spin probe is in the range of the estimates of the breadth of the PS energy-barriers distribution. The evidence that the deep structure of the energy landscape of PS exhibits the exponential shape of the energy-barriers distribution agrees with results from extreme-value statistics and the trap model by Bouchaud and coworkers.

title: Developing Teacher Educators In Uganda Using a Mentoring Approach: a case study
Creators: name: Lyseight-jones, Pauline Elaine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This study is about intent and experience in a primary teacher education mentoring initiative in Uganda. The initiative’s intent was to extend teacher educators’ capacities, enabling them to improve primary education quality in all government schools across Uganda. The main research question was about how mentoring is understood in a mentoring programme to improve teacher education in Uganda. A framework is used map three constituencies: the expectations of the mentoring initiative originators as expressed through local documentation and the expectations and experiences in the initiative of mentors and co-ordinating centre tutors (CCTs). Semi-structured interviews were the main form of data collection and included twenty-eight CCTs who were based in one primary teachers college (PTC) in Eastern Uganda and fifteen international volunteer educators (mentors) based in separate PTCs across Uganda (recruited by an NGO, VSO). The study found that mentoring is interpreted in a range of ways within the mentoring programme. These interpretations affected both sides of the mentoring relationship to different degrees and at different points in the development of the initiative. Even with the broad parity in seniority and experience of CCTs and mentors, the operationalising of the initiative resulted in mentors leading (or facilitating) the mentoring relationship. Yet the acceptance of personal professional learning in CCTs is a key phenomenon if the work is to be sustainable. The areas of challenge were the expectations of the foreign volunteer educator mentor in the placement, the impact on motivation of intermittent funding and the negotiation of productive professional relationships.

description: The aim of this study was to detreminate the impact of intellectual capital on the development of agroturism venture. Due to the fact that intellectual capital is complex resource it was assumed that the level of agritourism services affect the education level. The base material was the results of a survey carried out in 87 agritourism providers located in the Wielkopolska Region. The research shows that intellectual resources are important from the business of farming and agritourism activity point of view. They affect both the scope of this ingenuity, as well as the size of the run farms.

description: The type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observational data are used to estimate the parameters of a cosmological model with cold dark matter and the generalized Chaplygin gas model (GCGM). The GCGM depends essentially on five parameters: the Hubble constant, the parameter $\bar{A}$ related to the velocity of the sound, the equation of state parameter $α$, the curvature of the Universe and the fraction density of the generalized Chaplygin gas (or the cold dark matter). The parameter $α$ is allowed to take negative values and to be greater than 1. The Bayesian parameter estimation yields $α= - 0.86^{+6.01}_{-0.15}$, $H_0 = 62.0^{+1.32}_{-1.42} km/Mpc.s$, $Ω_{k0}=-1.26_{-1.42}^{+1.32}$, $Ω_{m0} = 0.00^{+0.86}_{-0.00}$, $Ω_{c0} = 1.39^{+1.21}_{-1.25}$, $\bar A =1.00^{+0.00}_{-0.39}$, $t_0 = 15.3^{+4.2}_{-3.2}$ and $q_0 = -0.80^{+0.86}_{-0.62}$, where $t_0$ is the age of the Universe and $q_0$ is the value of the deceleration parameter today. Our results indicate that a Universe completely dominated by the generalized Chaplygin gas is favoured, what reinforces the idea that the this gas may unify the description for dark matter and dark energy, at least as the SNe Ia data is concerned. A closed and accelerating Universe is also favoured. The traditional Chaplygin gas model (CGM), $α= 1$ is not ruled out, even if it does not give the best-fitting. Particular cases with four or three independent free parameters are also analysed.

title: A Rich Reward in Tears: Hippolytus and Phaedra in drama, dance, opera and film
Creators: name: Mckee, Tori Lynn
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is a study of thematic clusters in the performance reception of the Hippolytus and Phaedra tradition – the body of reception material based on Euripides’ Hippolytus, Seneca’s Phaedra, and/or Racine’s Phèdre. This is the first comprehensive study of these three major source texts as a collective whole, challenging not only the idea of a single original ‘source text’, but also the idea of a directly linear reception pattern. I visualise the reception of the Hippolytus and Phaedra tradition as a porous membrane, containing a number of different items, from texts to performances, interacting in a multi-dimensional, fluid way, manifesting itself in different forms depending on the political, social, historical or literary context in which this story has emerged since Racine himself reworked Euripides and Seneca in the late seventeenth century. Each chapter has a particular thematic focus, within which I provide more detailed case study analyses from particular works across multiple genres. The Introduction provides close readings of the source texts and outlines my cross-genre theoretical framework. The second chapter focusses on the question of consanguinity and the impact of the incest motif on early adaptations. In the third chapter, I explore two 20th-century adaptations, both of which emerged during a decade dominated by Freud’s discoveries. In the fourth chapter, I focus on adaptations that explore and problematise Hippolytus’ sexuality. My fifth chapter focuses exclusively on the operatic and dance traditions, arguing that these genres lead to a prioritisation of the Phaedra character. The thesis concludes with a final chapter which traces the role of the divine within the reception tradition of Hippolytus and Phaedra examining in particular how recent adaptations move away from an earlier focus on psychology and human emotion to a new emphasis on the supernatural forces in the wider world.

description: The territory of a farm is one of the main factors influencing its economic capability. The inclusion of Polish agriculture into the Common Agricultural Policy allows for the improvement of the territorial structure of Polish farms. This work aims to show changes in the territorial structure of farms in Podlasie province and the assessment of selected instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy which have facilitated those changes. The conducted analysis showed that within the Podlasie province there is a faster than average growth in the number of farms exceeding over 20 hectares but at the same time the decrease in the number of farms having territory between 5 to 10 hectares is very slow. The system of uniform territorial payments has had a great influence on such changes. The reduction in the number of farms transferred as a result of the structural pension program is relatively small.

description: Black resonators and geons in global AdS are rapidly rotating, low-energy solutions with a helical Killing field. We study the linear mode stability of equal angular momenta, five-dimensional black resonators and geons under scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational perturbations. We find that black resonators are unstable to the superradiant instability, in agreement with previously known results. Perhaps surprisingly, many geons appear linearly stable, despite having an ergoregion. This apparent stability implies that geons are important long-lived, low-energy states in the dual gauge theory. However, we do find that geons are unstable within a certain range of parameter space. We comment on the nature of this instability and to its possible endpoints. We also report on new non-spinning oscillating geons, which we construct within a cohomogeneity two ansatz. Given the existing arguments that suggest our linear stability results may be extended nonlinearly, our findings indicate that most geons are generic and long-lived solutions.

Estimating marginal survival function by adjusting for dependent censoring using many covariates

description: One goal in survival analysis of right-censored data is to estimate the marginal survival function in the presence of dependent censoring. When many auxiliary covariates are sufficient to explain the dependent censoring, estimation based on either a semiparametric model or a nonparametric model of the conditional survival function can be problematic due to the high dimensionality of the auxiliary information. In this paper, we use two working models to condense these high-dimensional covariates in dimension reduction; then an estimate of the marginal survival function can be derived nonparametrically in a low-dimensional space. We show that such an estimator has the following double robust property: when either working model is correct, the estimator is consistent and asymptotically Gaussian; when both working models are correct, the asymptotic variance attains the efficiency bound.

Spontaneous superconducting islands and Hall voltage in clean superconductors

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We study a clean superconductor in the Hall configuration, in the framework of a purely dissipative time-dependent Ginzburg--Landau theory. We find situations in which the order parameter differs significantly from zero in a set of islands that appear to form a periodic structure. When the pattern of islands becomes irregular, it moves in or against the direction of the current and a Hall voltage is found. Tiny differences in the initial state may reverse the sign of the Hall voltage. When the average Hall voltage vanishes, the local Hall voltage does not necessarily vanish. We examine the influence that several boundary conditions at the electrodes have on these effects.

description: A one dimensional (1-D), isothermal model for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is presented. This model accounts for the kinetics of the multi-step methanol oxidation reaction at the anode. Diffusion and crossover of methanol are modeled and the mixed potential of the oxygen cathode due to methanol crossover is included. Kinetic and diffusional parameters are estimated by comparing the model to data from a 25 cm2 DMFC. This semi-analytical model can be solved rapidly so that it is suitable for inclusion in real-time system level DMFC simulations.

description: The aim of the article was to depict changes in the level of concentration and to compare it with changes in market power execution in the Polish food industry in the period 2004-2013. The market power execution was defined as the firm’s ability to profitable rise the price above the marginal cost and was measured by the monopolistic markups. The paper covers the theoretical relationship between markups and concentration, literature review as well as own empirical research. It turns out that the rising concentration wasn’t accompanied by the rising market power execution. Consequently, there might be no point in the based on the concentration measurement policy aiming at improving the position of farmers against processors.
