description: This paper studies a two-tier CDMA system in which the microcell base is converted into a data access point (DAP), i.e., a limited-range base station that provides high-speed access to one user at a time. The microcell (or DAP) user operates on the same frequency as the macrocell users and has the same chip rate. However, it adapts its spreading factor, and thus its data rate, in accordance with interference conditions. By contrast, the macrocell serves multiple simultaneous data users, each with the same fixed rate. The achieveable throughput for individual microcell users is examined and a simple, accurate approximation for its probability distribution is presented. Computations for average throughputs, both per-user and total, are also presented. The numerical results highlight the impact of a desensitivity parameter used in the base-selection process.

description: The demand for sport fishing on the Snake River reservoirs was estimated using the travel cost method. A short-run demand model was specified with location value for anglers who have the option to access a follow-on site if fishing conditions are poor. Willingness to pay for a fishing trip to the site was $18.52 for anglers who did not have a follow-on site and $43.48 for anglers who did. A location value of $24.96 accrued only to anglers with a follow-on site. Total annual site value was understated by as much as 40% ($0.78 million) if location value for anglers with a follow-on site was excluded from the benefit estimate.

description: In this work, based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional, we have extracted a formalism for calculation of the thermodynamic properties of fluids with non-spherical molecules. The salient feature of the extracted formalism is that it has no restrictions on the type of interaction. In fact our formalism can be employed for all types of realistic inter-particle interactions. Here, for the interaction of two anisotropic molecules, we have applied the Gay-Berne potential. Finally, we have applied this formalism to calculate some thermodynamic properties of fluid H_2 which shows some expected results.

description: We provide a critical review of research in economics that has examined causal relationships between alcohol use and crime. We lay out several causal pathways through which alcohol regulation and alcohol consumption may affect crime, including: direct pharmacological effects on aggression, reaction time, and motor impairment; excuse motivations; venues and social interactions; and victimization risk. We focus our review on four main types of alcohol regulations: price/tax restrictions, age-based availability restrictions, spatial availability restrictions, and temporal availability restrictions. We conclude that there is strong evidence that tax- and age-based restrictions on alcohol availability reduce crime, and we discuss implications for policy and practice.

description: We present a pion photoproduction model on the free nucleon based on an Effective Lagrangian Approach (ELA) which includes the nucleon resonances ($Δ(1232)$, N(1440), N(1520), N(1535), $Δ(1620)$, N(1650), and $Δ(1700)$), in addition to Born and vector meson exchange terms. The model incorporates a new theoretical treatment of spin-3/2 resonances, first introduced by Pascalutsa, avoiding pathologies present in previous models. Other main features of the model are chiral symmetry, gauge invariance, and crossing symmetry. We use the model combined with modern optimization techniques to assess the parameters of the nucleon resonances on the basis of world data on electromagnetic multipoles. We present results for electromagnetic multipoles, differential cross sections, asymmetries, and total cross sections for all one pion photoproduction processes on free nucleons. We find overall agreement with data from threshold up to 1 GeV in laboratory frame.

description: Zonal flows are recognised to play a crucial role for magnetised plasma confinement. The genesis of these flows out of turbulent fluctuations is therefore of significant interest. We investigate the relative importance of zonal flow generation mechanisms via the Reynolds stress, Maxwell stress, and geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) transfer in drift-Alfvén turbulence. By means of numerical computations we quantify the energy transfer into zonal flows owing to each of these effects. The importance of the three driving ingredients in electrostatic and electromagnetic turbulence for conditions relevant to the edge of fusion devices is revealed for a broad range of parameters. The Reynolds stress is found to provide a flow drive, while the electromagnetic Maxwell stress is in the cases considered a sink for the flow energy. In the limit of high plasma beta, where electromagnetic effects and Alfvén dynamics are important, the Maxwell stress is found to cancel the Reynolds stress to a high degree. The geodesic oscillations, related to equilibrium pressure profile modifications due to poloidally asymmetric transport, can act as both sinks as drive terms, depending on the parameter regime. For high beta cases the GAMs are the main drive of the flow. This is also reflected in the frequency dependence of the flow, showing a distinct peak at the GAM frequency in that regime.

description: Monthly streamflow records from a set of gauging stations, selected to form a reference hydrologic network, are analyzed together with precipitation and temperature data to establish whether the streamflows in the Guadalquivir River Basin have experienced changes during the last half of the XXth century that can be attributed to hydrological forcing. The observed streamflows in the reference network have undergone generalized and significant decreases both at seasonal and annual scales during the study period. Annual rainfall, though, did not experienced statistically significant changes. The observed trends in streamflows can be attributed to either land-use changes, or to the statistically significant changes exhibited both by yearly potential evapotranspiration values and by the seasonal distribution of precipitation. In the attribution work conducted using both data-based and simulation-based methods, the intra-annual redistribution of precipitation is shown to be the main statistically significant climate-driver of streamflow change. The contributions of other non-climate factors, such as the change in land cover, to the reduction in annual streamflows are shown to be minor in comparison.

description: We have mapped, for the first time, the full velocity extent of the water maser emission in NGC 3079. The largely north-south distribution of emission, aligned with a kpc-scale molecular disk, and the segregation of blue- and red-shifted emission on the sky are suggestive of a nearly edge-on molecular disk on pc-scales. Positions and line-of-sight velocities of blue- and red-shifted maser emission are consistent with a central mass of ~2 x 10^6 Msun enclosed within a radius of ~0.4 pc. The corresponding mean mass density of 10^6.8 Msun pc^-3 is suggestive of a central black hole, which is consistent with the detection of hard X-ray excess (20-100 keV) and an Fe Kalpha line from the nucleus. Because the rotation curve traced by the maser emission is flat, the mass of the pc-scale disk is significant with respect to the central mass. Since the velocity dispersion of the maser features does not decrease with radius and constitutes a large fraction of the orbital velocity, the disk is probably thick and flared. The rotation curve and the physical conditions necessary to support maser emission imply a Toomre Q-parameter that is << 1. Thus, the disk is most likely clumpy, and we argue that it is probably forming stars. Overall, the accretion disk in NGC 3079 stands in contrast to the compact, thin, warped, differentially rotating disk in the archetypal maser galaxy NGC 4258 (abridged).

Half-BPS Giants, Free Fermions and Microstates of Superstars

description: We consider 1/2-BPS states in AdS/CFT. Using the matrix model description of chiral primaries explicit mappings among configurations of fermions, giant gravitons and the dual-giant gravitons are obtained. These maps lead to a `duality' between the giant and the dual-giant configurations which is the reflection of particle-hole duality of the fermion picture. These dualities give rise to some interesting consequences which we study. We then calculate the degeneracy of 1/2-BPS states both from the CFT and string theory and show that they match. The asymptotic degeneracy grows exponentially with the comformal dimension. We propose that the five-dimensional single charge `superstar' geometry should carry this density of states. An appropriate stretched horizon can be placed in this geometry and the entropy predicted by the CFT and the string theory microstate counting can be reproduced by the Bekenstein-Hawking formula up to a numerical coefficient. Similar M-theory examples are also considered.

description: Three key questions regarding lamb promotion are addressed: (1) Have industry efforts to promote lamb shifted out the total demand for lamb? (2) Have any returns to producers achieved been greater than the cost of the promotion? (3) What has been the effect of lamb promotion on the lamb import share? The first question is addressed through an econometric analysis of the U.S. retail demand for lamb which takes into account the effects of lamb advertising and promotion expenditures. The results then are used to calculate a benefit-cost ratio for lamb promotion in answer to the second question. An econometric analysis of the import share of U.S. lamb consumption provides the basis for addressing the third question. Lamb promotion is found to have increased the demand for lamb, and particularly American lamb, generating in the process a highly positive return to producers relative to the small cost of the program.

description: An analogous laser action of magnons would be a subject of interest and is crucial for the study of nonlinear magnons spintronics. Here, we demonstrate the magnon laser behavior based on Brillouin light scattering in a ferrimagnetic insulator sphere which supports optical whispering gallery modes and magnon resonances. We show that the excited magnon plays what has traditionally been the role of the Stokes wave and is coherently amplified during the Brillouin scattering process, making magnon laser possible. Furthermore, the stimulating excited magnon number increasing exponentially with the input light power can be manipulated by adjusting the external magnetic field. In addition to providing insight into magneto-optical interaction, the study of magnon laser action will help to develop novel technologies for handling spin-wave excitations and could affect scientific fields beyond magnonics. Potential applications range from preparing coherent magnon sources to operating onchip functional magnetic devices.

description: Based on reliable $ab\:initio$ computations and the numerical renormalization group method, systematic studies on a two-dimensional GaSe monolayer with a Co adatom have been carried out. It is shown that the stable lowest-energy configuration of the system involves the Co adatom located over Ga atom. For such configuration, it is demonstrated that the electronic and magnetic properties of the system can be effectively controlled by means of external factors, such as magnetic field, gate voltage or temperature. Moreover, if properly tuned, the GaSe-Co system can also exhibit the Kondo effect. The development of the Kondo phenomenon is revealed in the local density of states of the Co adatom, its magnetic field dependence, which presents the splitting of the Kondo peak, as well as in the temperature dependence of the conductance, which exhibits scaling typical of the spin one-half Kondo effect.

LEED Green Building Rating System : values of consumption
Creators: name: Coleman, Sylvia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The United States Green Building Council's (USGBC's) Leadership in Energy and Design Green Building Rating System (LEED) is a product of its time and place. It is a fundamental assumption of this thesis that the most conscious, effective change is made through an understanding of causes and origins. That context is one of underlying North American values, as represented by North American consumer culture, environmentalism, and worldview. Having its origins in consumer culture, green consumerism is a paradox which addresses superficial change but not the underlying values and worldviews that drive large-scale change. North American environmentalism is uniquely wilderness-focussed and biophilic. And North American worldviews are undergoing a shift, or integration, which has consequences for the development of LEED. If the values of a consumer culture are embedded in LEED, and, if those values are opposed to that of a sustainable culture, then what will be the ultimate effect of LEED on the drive to increased building sustainability? By elaborating on the socio-cultural and conceptual origins from which LEED has arisen, which includes the creative tension between the environmental and industry groups that created it, the LEED system becomes contextualized and internal motivations illuminated. The implicit value-context is examined via qualitative, theoretical examination of the literature concerning consumer culture, environmentalism and worldviews, while the explicit social context for LEED is addressed through a case study conducted at the Vancouver Island Technology Park (LEED Gold award, 2002). Occupants were surveyed about their attitude toward the LEED label, green building, and environmental labelling in general. It was found that North American consumer culture was evident in how LEED is marketed and delivered. North American environmentalism was evident in the content of LEED performance areas. North American worldviews, both mechanistic and holistic, were evident in how the LEED system could be used, as a checklist for green building features, and/or as a holistic, integrative design tool. Recommendations were given to both environmentalists and industrialists in four areas, concerning LEED system specificity, green consumerism, the potentially problematic effect of technology transfer in other cultural contexts, and the differences between implementing green vs. sustainable building.

description: We empirically investigate the effects of beef packer concentration and size efficiencies, packer procurement and pricing methods, and other market variables and quality characteristics on the prices paid by packers for slaughter cattle. We find that packers pay less for fed cattle in more concentrated regions. However, we find that concentration is only one of numerous market factors determining fed cattle prices and less important than many. Quality variables controlled by sellers, like cattle type, are more important in determining the price paid by packers than packer concentration, size economies, procurement methods, or other variables outside seller control.

Results presented are for yield and net revenue data and research expenditures for the entire United States. We find that research expenditures over the years 1994 to 2007 are responsible for a 0.95 bushel per acre per year increase in soybean yields. We calculate net producer revenues to be about $17 per acre higher than would have been the case without the soybean research checkoff expenditures.

description: The primary objective of this study is to answer two key questions regarding the U.S. soybean checkoff program over time: (1) What have been the effects of the soybean checkoff program on U.S. and world soybean and soybean product markets? (2) Has the soybean checkoff program benefited soybean producers? To answer the first key question, the effects of the soybean checkoff program on U.S. and foreign soybean, soybean meal, and soybean oil supplies, demands, prices, and trade over the 1980/81 through 2006/07 time period are measured. Those results are then used to answer the second question in a benefit-cost analysis of the soybean checkoff program to measure the overall return to producers from soybean checkoff and related expenditures over the years. In general, the study concludes that the expenditure of soybean checkoff funds to invest in production research and to promote the demand for soybeans and soybean products at home and abroad has been highly effective in enhancing the profitability, competiveness, and size of the U.S. soybean industry since at least 1980/81.
Radiative seesaw: a case for split supersymmetry

description: We revive Witten's mechanism for the radiative seesaw induced neutrino masses in SO(10) grand unified theory. We propose its extension to charged fermion masses as a possible cure for wrong tree level mass relations. We offer two simple realizations that can produce a realistic fermionic spectrum. The first one requires two 10 dimensional Higgses in the Yukawa sector and utilizes radiative effects for charged fermion masses. The second one trades one 10 for a 120 dimensional Higgs and leads to the SO(10) theory with less parameters in the Yukawa sector. The mechanism works only if supersymmetry is broken at the GUT scale while gauginos and higgsinos remain at TeV. This provides a strong rationale for the so called split supersymmetry.

description: CO₂ methanation is often performed on Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts, which can suffer from mass transport limitations and, therefore, decreased efficiency. Here we show the application of a hierarchically porous Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst for methanation of CO₂. The material has a well-defined and connected meso- and macropore structure with a total porosity of 78%. The pore structure was thoroughly studied with conventional methods, i.e., N₂ sorption, Hg porosimetry, and He
pycnometry, and advanced imaging techniques, i.e., electron tomography and ptychographic X-ray computed tomography. Tomography can quantify the pore system in a manner that is not possible using conventional porosimetry. Macrokinetic simulations were performed based on the measures obtained by porosity analysis. These show the potential benefit of enhanced mass-transfer properties of the hierarchical pore system compared to a pure mesoporous catalyst at industrially relevant
conditions. Besides the investigation of the pore system, the catalyst was studied by Rietveld refinement, diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (DRUV/vis) spectroscopy, and H₂-temperature programmed reduction (TPR), showing a high reduction temperature required for activation due to structural incorporation of Ni into the transition alumina. The reduced hierarchically porous Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst is highly active in CO₂ methanation, showing comparable conversion and selectivity for CH₄
to an industrial reference catalyst.

description: Data-driven methods have recently made great progress in the discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs) from spatial-temporal data. However, several challenges remain to be solved, including sparse noisy data, incomplete candidate library, and spatially- or temporally-varying coefficients. In this work, a new framework, which combines neural network, genetic algorithm and adaptive methods, is put forward to address all of these challenges simultaneously. In the framework, a trained neural network is utilized to calculate derivatives and generate a large amount of meta-data, which solves the problem of sparse noisy data. Next, genetic algorithm is utilized to discover the form of PDEs and corresponding coefficients with an incomplete candidate library. Finally, a two-step adaptive method is introduced to discover parametric PDEs with spatially- or temporally-varying coefficients. In this method, the structure of a parametric PDE is first discovered, and then the general form of varying coefficients is identified. The proposed algorithm is tested on the Burgers equation, the convection-diffusion equation, the wave equation, and the KdV equation. The results demonstrate that this method is robust to sparse and noisy data, and is able to discover parametric PDEs with an incomplete candidate library.

description: Process-based hydrologic models allow to identify the behavior of a basin providing a mathematical description of the hydrologic processes underlying the runoff mechanisms that govern the streamflow generation. This study focuses on a macroscale application of the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model over 31 headwater subwatersheds belonging to the Duero River Basin, located in the Iberian Peninsula, through a three-part approach: (1) the calibration and validation of the VIC model for all the subwatersheds; (2) an integrated sensitivity analysis concerning the soil parameters chosen for the calibration, and (3) an assessment of equifinality and the efficiency of the calibration algorithm. The calibration and validation processes showed good results for most of the subwatersheds in a computationally efficient way using the Shuffled-Complex-Evolution algorithm. The sensitivity measures were obtained with the Standardized Regression Coefficients method through a post-process of the outputs of a Monte Carlo simulation carried out for 10 000 parameter samples for each subwatershed. This allowed to quantify the sensitivity of the water balance components to the selected parameters for the calibration and understanding the strong dependencies between them. The final assessment of the equifinality hypothesis manifested that there are many parameter samples with performances as good as the optimum, calculated using the calibration algorithm. For almost all the analyzed subwatersheds the calibration algorithm resulted efficient, reaching the optimal fit. Both the Monte Carlo simulation and the use of a calibration algorithm will be of interest for other feasible applications of the VIC model in other river basins.

description: We evaluate the dipolar oscillations of a harmonically trapped fermion gas containing thermal bosonic impurities as a function of the anisotropy of the trap, from the numerical solution of the Vlasov-Landau equations for the one-body phase-space distribution functions. Starting from a situation in which the two components of the gaseous mixture perform almost independent oscillations inside a spherical trap, we demonstrate that different collision behaviors arise for oscillations in different directions as the trap is deformed into an elongated cigar-like shape. An increase in the anisotropy of the confinement thus suffices to drive a transition of dipolar modes from a collisionless to a collisional regime.

description: Understanding multipartite entanglement is vital, as it underpins a wide range of phenomena across physics. The study of transformations of states via Local Operations assisted by Classical Communication (LOCC) allows one to quantitatively analyse entanglement, as it induces a partial order in the Hilbert space. However, it has been shown that, for systems with fixed local dimensions, this order is generically trivial, which prevents relating multipartite states to each other with respect to any entanglement measure. In order to obtain a non-trivial partial ordering, we study a physically motivated extension of LOCC: multi-state LOCC. Here, one considers simultaneous LOCC transformations acting on a finite number of entangled pure states. We study both multipartite and bipartite multi-state transformations. In the multipartite case, we demonstrate that one can change the stochastic LOCC (SLOCC) class of the individual initial states by only applying Local Unitaries (LUs). We show that, by transferring entanglement from one state to the other, one can perform state conversions not possible in the single copy case; provide examples of multipartite entanglement catalysis; and demonstrate improved probabilistic protocols. In the bipartite case, we identify numerous non-trivial LU transformations and show that the source entanglement is not additive. These results demonstrate that multi-state LOCC has a much richer landscape than single-state LOCC.

High-energy limit of neutrino quasielastic cross section

description: It's a common knowledge that the quasielastic neutrino-neutron and antineutrino-proton cross sections tend to the same constant as (anti)neutrino energy becomes high. In this paper we calculate the exact expression of the limit in terms of the parameters describing quasielastic scattering. We check that even at very high energies only small absolute values of the four-momentum transfer contribute to the cross section, hence the Fermi theory can be applied. The dipole approximation of the form factors allows to perform analytic calculations. Obtained results are neutrino-flavour independent.

description: A SrRuO$_3$ (SRO) thin film and its heterostructure have brought much attention because of the recently demonstrated fascinating properties, such as topological Hall effect and skyrmions. Critical to the understanding of those SRO properties is the study of the spin configuration. Here, we conduct resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) at oxygen K-edge to investigate the spin configuration of a 4 unit-cell SRO film that was grown epitaxially on a single crystal SrTiO$_3$. The RSXS signal under a magnetic field (~0.4 Tesla) clearly shows a magnetic dichroism pattern around the specular reflection. Model calculations on the RSXS signal demonstrate that the magnetic dichroism pattern originates from a Néel-type chiral spin structure in this SRO thin film. We believe that the observed spin structure of the SRO system is a critical piece of information for understanding its intriguing magnetic and transport properties.
Fluctuations and Noise: A General Model with Applications

description: A wide variety of dissipative and fluctuation problems involving a quantum system in a heat bath can be described by the independent-oscillator (IO) model Hamiltonian. Using Heisenberg equations of motion, this leads to a generalized quantum Langevin equation (QLE) for the quantum system involving two quantities which encapsulate the properties of the heat bath. Applications include: atomic energy shifts in a blackbody radiation heat bath; solution of the problem of runaway solutions in QED; electrical circuits (resistively shunted Josephson barrier, microscopic tunnel junction, etc.); conductivity calculations (since the QLE gives a natural separation between dissipative and fluctuation forces); dissipative quantum tunneling; noise effects in gravitational wave detectors; anomalous diffusion; strongly driven quantum systems; decoherence phenomena; analysis of Unruh radiation and entropy for a dissipative system.

description: The development of autonomous molecular computers capable of making independent decisions in vivo regarding local drug administration may revolutionize medical science. Recently Benenson at el (2004) have envisioned one form such a ``smart drug'' may take by implementing an in vitro scheme, in which a long DNA state molecule is cut repeatedly by a restriction enzyme in a manner dependent upon the presence of particular short DNA ``rule molecules.'' To analyze the potential of their scheme in terms of the kinds of computations it can perform, we study an abstraction assuming that a certain class of restriction enzymes is available and reactions occur without error. We also discuss how our molecular algorithms could perform with known restriction enzymes. By exhibiting a way to simulate arbitrary circuits, we show that these ``Benenson automata'' are capable of computing arbitrary Boolean functions. Further, we show that they are able to compute efficiently exactly those functions computable by log-depth circuits. Computationally, we formalize a new variant of limited width branching programs with a molecular implementation.

description: This objective of this study is to update last year’s analysis of the effectiveness of the lamb advertising and promotion program of the American Lamb Board (ALB). The main conclusion is that the lamb checkoff program is still working effectively to increase lamb consumption and sales in the United States. The analysis shows that ALB lamb promotion programs have generated roughly 8 additional pounds of total lamb consumption per dollar spent on advertising and promotion and $44.45 in additional lamb sales per dollar spent on advertising and promotion.

description: The Texas Pecan Board was established in 1998 to administer the Texas Pecan Checkoff Program and is financed through a one-half cent per pound assessment on grower pecan sales. The Board spends the assessment collections on a variety of advertising campaigns in an attempt to expand demand for Texas pecans, both improved and native varieties, and increase the welfare of Texas pecan growers. This study presents an evaluation of the economic effectiveness of the Texas Pecan Checkoff Program in expanding sales of Texas pecans. First, the effects of Texas Pecan Board promotion on sales of all Texas pecans are determined using the ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) followed by a test for differential effects of Texas Pecan Board promotion on sales of improved and native Texas pecan varieties using the seemingly unrelated regression estimator. The analysis indicates that the Texas Pecan Checkoff Program has effectively increased sales of improved varieties of Texas pecans but has had no statistically measureable impact on sales of native varieties of Texas pecans. A benefit-cost analysis determines that the additional sales revenues generated is relatively large compared to the dollar value invested in promotion indicating that the Texas pecan promotion program has been financially successful.
