description: Kinetic self-avoiding trails are introduced and used to generate a substrate of randomly quenched flow vectors. Sandpile model is studied on such a substrate with asymmetric toppling matrices where the precise balance between the net outflow of grains from a toppling site and the total inflow of grains to the same site when all its neighbors topple once is maintained at all sites. Within numerical accuracy this model behaves in the same way as the multiscaling BTW model.

description: Transgenic crops are relatively new technologies being adopted rapidly in the United States and in a few other countries. The economic impacts of these technologies have, thus far, been estimated in a piecemeal fashion. The purpose of this study was to collect and characterize the economic evidence available to date, organize it, and determine if any general implications can be drawn from it. The general classes of economic impacts at the farm level are discussed. The types of studies that generate estimates of these benefits are also characterized and categorized in terms of the implications for measuring economic impacts when the set of things held constant in the type of study does not correspond to those that economic theory suggests. The evidence is presented, along with some general implications drawn from the analysis. These implications are: (1) growing transgenic cotton is likely to result in reduced pesticide use in most years and is likely to be profitable in most years in most U.S. states in the Cotton Belt, (2) Bt corn will provide a small but significant yield increase in most years across the U.S. Corn Belt, and in some years and some places the increase will be substantial, and (3) although there is some evidence of a small yield loss in the Roundup Ready® soybean varieties, in most years and locations savings in pesticide costs and, possibly, tillage costs will more than offset the lost revenue from the yield discrepancy. There is not yet enough evidence to generalize even these few conclusions to other countries. More farm- level studies in more years and across more locations are required before any additional implications can be drawn. Studies that measure the non-pecuniary benefits and costs of these technologies should be undertaken, as well.

Metabolism and performance : a study of provisioning in the tree swallow, Tachycineta bicolor
Creators: name: Burness, Gary P.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: One goal of evolutionary physiology is to relate phenotypic variation to Darwinian fitness via organismal performance. Within this framework, I used breeding tree swallows, (Tachycineta bicolor) to identify physiological correlates and potential fitness consequences of inter-individual variation in parental energy expenditure (sustained metabolic rate, SusMR). I measured parental SusMR using the doubly labelled water technique and correlated it with variation in natural brood size and nestling growth rate and mass. SusMR was independent of natural brood size, although large broods had greater mass gain than small broods. I hypothesized that parental efficiency increases with brood size. Among adults rearing the same sized broods, SusMR increased with brood mass, and in one year, female SusMR and nestling growth rate were positively correlated. Natural selection is defined as correlation between variation in a phenotypic trait and variation in fitness. If nestling mass or growth rate are accurate indices of fitness, SusMR was under selection in this population. Individuals with high SusMR had relatively large intestines; presumably increasing digestive capacity. This may result in an increased resting metabolic rate and identify a potential energetic trade-off. I determined the influence of body composition on resting oxygen consumption rate (VO2). The mass of most organs differed between breeding seasons, possibly due to environmental conditions. Individuals with high resting VO2 had large kidneys but relatively small intestines. The basis of a negative relationship is unclear because the intestine contributes positively to VO2 in other species. A major determinant of parental life-time reproductive success is the survival of offspring to breeding. This is influenced by the quality of the rearing environment and its affect on offspring condition. Few studies have investigated what physiological and biochemical characters underlie variation in condition. I manipulated the number of nestlings in a brood and followed growth and resting VO2 until near fledging. Surprisingly, many characters were insensitive to environmental variation. Nonetheless, nestlings in reduced broods had a greater mass of lipid, increased cardiac enzyme activity, and higher size-specific resting VO2 than individuals raised in enlarged broods. How these characters affect survival or the future adult phenotype remains unknown.

description: Sustainable irrigation water management should simultaneously achieve two objectives: sustaining irrigated agriculture for food security and preserving the associated natural environment. A stable relationship should be maintained between these two objectives now and in the future, while potential conflicts between these objectives should be mitigated through appropriate irrigation practices. Lessons learned from unsustainable water management practices around the world demonstrate the necessity—and growing urgency—of applying sustainability principles to water management in river basins where irrigation is a major factor. This paper presents the operational concepts and analytical framework for sustainability analysis of irrigation water management in irrigation-dominated river basins. These are applied to the Aral Sea region in Central Asia, a region famous for its conflict between sustaining irrigated agriculture and preserving the environment. Maintaining current irrigation practices will lead to worsening environmental and economic consequences. Infrastructure improvements and changes in crop patterns will be necessary to sustain the irrigated agriculture and the associated environment in the region. A penalty tax on salt discharge, as an economic incentive, may help address environmental problems while having only a small effect on irrigation profit.
Analyzing Finite Neural Networks: Can We Trust Neural Tangent Kernel Theory?

description: Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) theory is widely used to study the dynamics of infinitely-wide deep neural networks (DNNs) under gradient descent. But do the results for infinitely-wide networks give us hints about the behavior of real finite-width ones? In this paper, we study empirically when NTK theory is valid in practice for fully-connected ReLU and sigmoid DNNs. We find out that whether a network is in the NTK regime depends on the hyperparameters of random initialization and the network's depth. In particular, NTK theory does not explain the behavior of sufficiently deep networks initialized so that their gradients explode as they propagate through the network's layers: the kernel is random at initialization and changes significantly during training in this case, contrary to NTK theory. On the other hand, in the case of vanishing gradients, DNNs are in the the NTK regime but become untrainable rapidly with depth. We also describe a framework to study generalization properties of DNNs, in particular the variance of network's output function, by means of NTK theory and discuss its limits.

description: When a new technology consists of sequences of innovations that culminate in a final consumer product, the balance between successive innovators is one of the main concerns in the design of the patent system. While intertemporal aspects of incentive are critical in this environment of sequential innovations, time plays a minor role in existing literature on dynamic models. By focusing on the incentives of follow-on innovators who commercialize an initial invention, this study examines the dynamic implications of the patent instrument (e.g., patent life) via a positive analysis. It shows that a long patent life may encourage innovation incentives and increase social welfare, contrary to existing arguments that argue that long patent life always discourages the incentive for subsequent innovations. This study also examines the implications of finite patent system in different market structures.

description: Governments everywhere are trimming their support for agricultural R&D, giving greater scrutiny to the support that they do provide, and reforming the public agencies that fund, oversee, and carry out the research. This represents a break from previous patterns, which had consisted of expansion in the public funds for agricultural R&D. Private-sector spending on agricultural research has slowed along with the growth of public spending in recent years, but the balance continues to shift towards the private sector. This article presents a quantitative review of these funding trends and the considerable institutional changes that have accompanied them. We discuss new data for 22 OECD countries, providing institutional details for five of these countries, and conclude with an assessment of policy developments.

description: This study uses aerial photographs and survey data from sixty four parishes in east-central Uganda to identify the factors affecting conversion of woodlands and traditional grazing areas to agriculture. Regression analysis shows that customary land tenure institutions, greater population pressure and poor access to markets are significant causes of land conversion to agriculture, and hence to loss of trees. Private ownership of converted land promotes greater integration of trees and crops and leads to the highest density of trees on agricultural land. Given that continuing population growth will lead to further land conversion to agriculture, the best prospect for maintaining or increasing tree populations lies with agroforestry on cultivated land.
Uber: A New Challenge for Regulation and Competition Law?

Year: 2017

description: The rise of new software platforms presents regulators and antitrust agencies all over the world with a challenge. Should regulations adapt to the new services of the digital economy? Should competition law change its paradigm in relation to the sharing economy? Despite the growing expansion of these services, in most countries there is still no regulatory framework addressing these problems. Uber is the most emblematic example of this phenomenon. Indeed, it is subject to a large number of ongoing lawsuits merging many issues, ranging from questions pertaining to labour law of problems connected with unfair competition laws. This article first analyses the particular business model adopted by Uber and the antitrust concerns that it could raise. In so doing, the article pays heed to the approach that antitrust authorities should take towards the complex rivalry between (regulates) incumbents and (unregulated) new entrants. The article then considers the legal nature of the services provided by Uber, i.e. whether should be considered as transport services or as services of the information society. Either way, the chosen characterisation will affect the law applied to all digital platforms. The analysis, which adopts a comparative approach, focuses on the European context where national courts are in great turnmoil and the CJEU will be issuing a preliminary ruling on the nature of Uber services.

description: The study attempts to measure the total benefits from rice varietal improvement research in China and India using variety adoption and performance data over the last two decades. It then uses genetic or pedigree information to partition the total benefits between these two countries and IRRI. Finally, the study uses reported elasticity of poverty reduction with respect to agricultural output growth to assess the effects of national and international research on poverty reduction in rural India and China. The results indicate that rice varietal improvement research has contributed tremendously to increase in rice production, accounting for 14-23 percent of total production value over the last two decades in both countries. Rice research has also helped reduce large numbers of rural poor. IRRI played a crucial role in these successes. In 1999, for every $1 million invested at IRRI, more than 800 and 15,000 rural poor were lifted above the poverty line in China and India, respectively. These poverty-reduction effects were even larger in the earlier years.
Different faces of chaos in FRW models with scalar fields -- geometrical point of view

description: FRW cosmologies with conformally coupled scalar fields are investigated in a geometrical way by the means of geodesics of the Jacobi metric. In this model of dynamics, trajectories in the configuration space are represented by geodesics. Because of the singular nature of the Jacobi metric on the boundary set $\partial\mathcal{D}$ of the domain of admissible motion, the geodesics change the cone sectors several times (or an infinite number of times) in the neighborhood of the singular set $\partial\mathcal{D}$. We show that this singular set contains interesting information about the dynamical complexity of the model. Firstly, this set can be used as a Poincar{é} surface for construction of Poincar{é} sections, and the trajectories then have the recurrence property. We also investigate the distribution of the intersection points. Secondly, the full classification of periodic orbits in the configuration space is performed and existence of UPO is demonstrated. Our general conclusion is that, although the presented model leads to several complications, like divergence of curvature invariants as a measure of sensitive dependence on initial conditions, some global results can be obtained and some additional physical insight is gained from using the conformal Jacobi metric. We also study the complex behavior of trajectories in terms of symbolic dynamics.

description: In its judgment of 15 September 2016, the General Court ruled on whether the commitments offered by Thompson Reuters to the European Commission during an investigation of a possible abuse of dominant position were sufficient to address the competition concerns identified by the Commission. This is only the second time the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled on Commission decisions rendering binding the commitments offered by an undertaking Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003. With regard to standing, the General Court ruled the appeal lodged by a competitor admissible. As for substance, the General Court generally confirmed the previous case law. It ruled on the commitments meet the competition concerns identified by the institution, the different proportionality standard in Article 9 decisions as compared to Article 7 Regulation 1/2003 decisions (formal decision finding an infringement), and the limited scope of judicial review of the Court of Justice of the European Union in these appeals.

description: Energy storage is a basic physical process with many applications. When considering this task at the quantum scale, it becomes important to optimise the non-equilibrium dynamics of energy transfer to the storage device or battery. Here, we tackle this problem using the methods of quantum feedback control. Specifically, we study the deposition of energy into a quantum battery via an auxiliary charger. The latter is a driven-dissipative two-level system subjected to a homodyne measurement whose output signal is fed back linearly into the driving field amplitude. We explore two different control strategies, aiming to stabilise either populations or quantum coherences in the state of the charger. In both cases, linear feedback is shown to counteract the randomising influence of environmental noise and allow for stable and effective battery charging. We analyse the effect of realistic control imprecisions, demonstrating that this good performance survives inefficient measurements and small feedback delays. Our results highlight the potential of continuous feedback for the control of energetic quantities in the quantum regime.

description: We investigate pores in fluid membranes by molecular dynamics simulations of an amphiphile-solvent mixture, using a molecular coarse-grained model. The amphiphilic membranes self-assemble into a lamellar stack of amphiphilic bilayers separated by solvent layers. We focus on the particular case of tension less membranes, in which pores spontaneously appear because of thermal fluctuations. Their spatial distribution is similar to that of a random set of repulsive hard discs. The size and shape distribution of individual pores can be described satisfactorily by a simple mesoscopic model, which accounts only for a pore independent core energy and a line tension penalty at the pore edges. In particular, the pores are not circular: their shapes are fractal and have the same characteristics as those of two dimensional ring polymers. Finally, we study the size-fluctuation dynamics of the pores, and compare the time evolution of their contour length to a random walk in a linear potential.

Room to Manoeuvre for Member States: Issues for Decision on the Occasion of the Transposition of the Damages Directive
Creators: name: Piszcz, Anna
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2019

description: Soon Member States will bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with the Damages Directive (2014/104/EU). Usually Member States do not seem willing to introduce a broader scope of the application of principles embodied in EU directives. For Member States, “copy-pasting” a directive's content into a piece of national legislation is one of the simplest ways to implement a directive (another very simple one is implementation by reference; it is just referring the reader to the directive and should not be applied where the rules in a directive are not sufficiently precise, so it is not applied very often). Member States that work on the implementation of the Damages Directive either do it in a minimalist manner, mainly "copy-pasting" its content, or take the legislative opportunity to do something more and "tidy up" domestic provisions on the occasion of the transposition of the Directive. Some Member States have chosen that last option. The article attempts to highlight some of the considerations that may be of particular relevance in this process, with the aim of formulating some recommendations for national legislatures, even though implementation works are drawing to a dose. First, some “spontaneous harmonisation” of a scope broader than that provided for in the Directive is recommended on the background of the material (substantive) scope of the Directive and its transposition. The other important considerations are addressed to the personal scope of the Directive and its transposition. Finally, the short review of some more detailed issues for decision on the occasion of the transposition of the Directive is offered. Considerations regarding the principle of civil liability, the use of collective redress mechanisms, minimum harmonisation clauses, institutional design of private enforcement of competition law, as well as incentives to voluntarily provide compensation to injured parties can be found therein.

description: The anisotropic Fermi superfluid of ultra-cold Fermi atoms under the p-wave Feshbach resonance is studied theoretically. The pairing symmetry of the ground state is determined by the strength of the atom-atom magnetic dipole interaction. It is $k_z$ for a strong dipole interaction; while it becomes $k_z - i βk_y$, up to a rotation about z, for a weak one (Here $β$ < 1 is a numerical coefficient). By changing the external magnetic field or the atomic gas density, a phase transition between these two states can be driven. We discuss how the pairing symmetry of the ground state can be determined in the time-of-flight experiments.

description: As robots perform manipulation tasks and interact with objects, it is probable that they accidentally drop objects (e.g., due to an inadequate grasp of an unfamiliar object) that subsequently bounce out of their visual fields. To enable robots to recover from such errors, we draw upon the concept of object permanence-objects remain in existence even when they are not being sensed (e.g., seen) directly. In particular, we developed a multimodal neural network model-using a partial, observed bounce trajectory and the audio resulting from drop impact as its inputs-to predict the full bounce trajectory and the end location of a dropped object. We empirically show that: 1) our multimodal method predicted end locations close in proximity (i.e., within the visual field of the robot's wrist camera) to the actual locations and 2) the robot was able to retrieve dropped objects by applying minimal vision-based pick-up adjustments. Additionally, we show that our method outperformed five comparison baselines in retrieving dropped objects. Our results contribute to enabling object permanence for robots and error recovery from object drops.

We prove that βadmits a Q-representing measure μ(as above) if and only if the associated moment matrix $\mathcal{M}(n)(β)$ is positive semidefinite, recursively generated, has a column relation Q(X,Y)=0, and the algebraic variety $\mathcal{V}(β)$ associated to βsatisfies $card\mathcal{V}(β)\geq\rank\mathcal{M}(n)(β)$. In this case, $rank\mathcal{M}(n)\leq2n+1$; if $rank\mathcal{M}(n)\leq2n$, then βadmits a $rank\mathcal{M}(n)$-atomic (minimal) Q-representing measure; if $rank\mathcal{M}(n)=2n+1$, then βadmits a Q-representing measure μsatisfying $2n+1\leqcard suppμ\leq2n+2$.

description: Via Monte Carlo simulations we study nonequilibrium dynamics in the nearest-neighbor Ising model, following quenches to points inside the ordered region of the phase diagram. With the broad objective of quantifying the nonequilibrium universality classes corresponding to spatially correlated and uncorrelated initial configurations, in this paper we present results for the decay of the order-parameter autocorrelation function for quenches from the critical point. This autocorrelation is an important probe for the aging dynamics in far-from-equilibrium systems and typically exhibits power-law scaling. From the state-of-the-art analysis of the simulation results we quantify the corresponding exponents ($\mathbfλ$) for both conserved and nonconserved (order parameter) dynamics of the model, in space dimension $d=3$. Via structural analysis we demonstrate that the exponents satisfy a bound. We also revisit the $d=2$ case to obtain more accurate results. It appears that irrespective of the dimension, $λ$ is same for both conserved and nonconserved dynamics.

Android and Forking Restrictions: On the Hidden Closedness of “Open”
Creators: name: Vezzoso, Simonetta
Publisher: name: Market and Competition Law Review
Year: 2018

description: The Google Android Decision was announced by the European Commission on 18 July 2018. The Commission found that three restrictions related to Android and Android apps that Google imposed on mobile device manufacturers and network operators infringed Article 102 TFEU. These restrictions, according to the Commission, “have enabled Google to use Android as a vehicle to cement the dominance of its search engine”. The Android Decision is not yet public. The prohibition of Google’s tying practices on the Android platform has already attracted significant attention by early commentators, also due to the proximity to other high profile antitrust cases. Against the backdrop of the still limited information available, the article proposes some first reflections on another conduct sanctioned by the Android Decision, namely Google’s forking restriction imposed on device manufacturers. In particular, the article describes a possible reasoning underpinning Google’s anti-fragmentation justification based on the economics of two-sided platforms. This justification stems from a purely “transactional view” of platforms. The article concludes that this view is only partially suitable to provide an accurate description of complex innovation ecosystems for the purposes of competition policy enforcement.

description: The stellarator as a concept of magnetic confinement fusion requires careful design to confine particles effectively. A design possibility is to equip the magnetic field with a property known as quasisymmetry. Though it is generally believed that a steady-state quasisymmetric equilibrium can only be exact locally (unless the system has a direction of continuous symmetry such as the tokamak), we suggest in this work that a change in the equilibrium paradigm can ameliorate this limitation. We demonstrate that there exists a deep physical connection between quasisymmetry and magnetostatic equilibria with anisotropic pressure, extending beyond the isotropic pressure equilibria commonly considered.

description: Given a smooth toric variety X and an ample line bundle O(1), we construct a sequence of Lagrangian submanifolds of (C^*)^n with boundary on a level set of the Landau-Ginzburg mirror of X. The corresponding Floer homology groups form a graded algebra under the cup product which is canonically isomorphic to the homogeneous coordinate ring of X.

description: A class of Fe-Mn-Si-based alloys exhibits a reversible martensitic transformation between the $γ$ phase with a face-centered cubic~(fcc) structure and an $ε$ phase with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. During the deformation-induced $γ$--$ε$ transformation, we identified a phase that is different from the $ε$ phase. In this new phase, the electron diffraction spots are located at the 1/3 positions that correspond to the $\{$0002$\}$ plane of the $ε$ (hcp) phase with 2H structure, which suggests long-period stacking order (LPSO). To understand the stacking pattern and explore the possible existence of an LPSO phase as an intermediate between the $γ$ and $ε$ phases, the phase stability of various structural polytypes of iron was examined using first-principles calculations with a spin-polarized form of the generalized gradient approximation in density functional theory. We found that an antiferromagnetic ordered 6H$_2$ structure is the most stable among the candidate LPSO structures and is energetically close to the $ε$ phase, which suggests that the observed LPSO-like phase adopts the 6H$_2$ structure. Furthermore, we determined that the phase stability can be attributed to the valley depth in the density of states, close to the Fermi level.

description: Deterministic sandpile models are studied on a cost optimized Barabási-Albert (BA) scale-free network whose nodes are the sites of a square lattice. For the optimized BA network, the sandpile model has the same critical behaviour as the BTW sandpile, whereas for the un-optimized BA network the critical behaviour is mean-field like.

description: Motion blur in dynamic scenes is an important yet challenging research topic. Recently, deep learning methods have achieved impressive performance for dynamic scene deblurring. However, the motion information contained in a blurry image has yet to be fully explored and accurately formulated because: (i) the ground truth of dynamic motion is difficult to obtain; (ii) the temporal ordering is destroyed during the exposure; and (iii) the motion estimation from a blurry image is highly ill-posed. By revisiting the principle of camera exposure, motion blur can be described by the relative motions of sharp content with respect to each exposed position. In this paper, we define exposure trajectories, which represent the motion information contained in a blurry image and explain the causes of motion blur. A novel motion offset estimation framework is proposed to model pixel-wise displacements of the latent sharp image at multiple timepoints. Under mild constraints, our method can recover dense, (non-)linear exposure trajectories, which significantly reduce temporal disorder and ill-posed problems. Finally, experiments demonstrate that the recovered exposure trajectories not only capture accurate and interpretable motion information from a blurry image, but also benefit motion-aware image deblurring and warping-based video extraction tasks.

The behavioural expression of fear in young children
Creators: name: Gilbert-MacLeod, Cheryl A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Children, over the course of development, experience numerous situations capable of eliciting fear; however, the behaviours which children exhibit in these situations remain unclear. The investigation presented here pursued the question "how do young children express fear in a non-painful medical situation where they perceive threat from physical harm?". It is important to note that this study differentiated between fear and anxiety, however it did not examine differences between these two emotions. 116 children, between the ages of 12 and 87 months, and their parents participated in the study. Children's fine-grained behavioural responses, (i.e., facial activity) and broader behavioural displays (e.g., crying, protective behaviours) were examined during a fearful situation. The specific threat used to provoke fear was orthopedic cast removal with an oscillating saw. Few people, including adults, who have had a cast removed would challenge the notion that the oscillating saw can effectively elicit fear. Facial activity was measured with the Baby-FACS coding system and global behaviours were assessed with the Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress. Results demonstrated the existence of a constellation of facial actions and a group of more global behaviours indicative of fear in young children. The facial actions and global behaviours identified in the total sample were examined on a subset of the children who were rated as displaying clinically significant fear. The same 13 facial actions were found to cluster together in the sample of children displaying clinically significant fear. Further, global behaviours occurred with a higher frequency in this sub-sample. Age and cast location were found to predict children's fear for both classes of behaviour in that younger children and children with casts on their legs had higher facial action factor scores and OSBD scale scores than older children or those with arm casts. Finally, facial activity and global behaviours appeared to be valid measures of fear as they were both correlated to an independent observer's and the cast technician's ratings of fear. Results are discussed in relation to current theories of emotional development and implications for clinical applications are reviewed.

description: Fokker-Planck equations are extensively employed in various scientific fields as they characterise the behaviour of stochastic systems at the level of probability density functions. Although broadly used, they allow for analytical treatment only in limited settings, and often is inevitable to resort to numerical solutions. Here, we develop a computational approach for simulating the time evolution of Fokker-Planck solutions in terms of a mean field limit of an interacting particle system. The interactions between particles are determined by the gradient of the logarithm of the particle density, approximated here by a novel statistical estimator. The performance of our method shows promising results, with more accurate and less fluctuating statistics compared to direct stochastic simulations of comparable particle number. Taken together, our framework allows for effortless and reliable particle-based simulations of Fokker-Planck equations in low and moderate dimensions. The proposed gradient-log-density estimator is also of independent interest, for example, in the context of optimal control.
