THE ESSENTIALS OF RAINFALL DERIVATIVES AND INSURANCE
Creators: name: Turvey, Calum G.
name: Turvey, Calum G.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1999
Subjects: Risk and Uncertainty

description: This paper investigates the use of rainfall insurance to manage agricultural production risks. A number of rainfall insurance products are presented along with a raitonal model which identifies the economics of rainfall. The use of rainfall insurance will increase in future years as capital markets, financial institutions, reinsurance companies, crop insurance companies, and hedge funds collectively organize to share and distribute weather risks. The focus of this paper is in fact directed towards the intermediation function of risk markets rather than on end user benefits.

description: We study the action of the mapping class group Mod(S) on the boundary dQ of quasifuchsian space Q. Among other results, Mod(S) is shown to be topologically transitive on the subset C in dQ of manifolds without a conformally compact end. We also prove that any open subset of the character variety X(pi_1(S),SL(2,C)) intersecting dQ does not admit a nonconstant Mod(S)-invariant meromorphic function. This is related to a question of Goldman.

description: This paper investigates whether the assumption of Brownian motion often used to describe commodity price movements is satisfied. Using historical data from 17 commodity futures contracts specific tests of fractional and ordinary Brownian motion are conducted. The analyses are conducted under the null hypothesis of ordinary Brownian motion against the alternative of persistent or ergodic fractional Brownian motion. Tests for fractional Brownian motion are based on a variance ratio test and compared with conventional R-S analyses. However, standard errors based on Monte Carlo simulations are quite high, meaning that the acceptance region for the null hypothesis is large. The results indicate that for the most part, the null hypothesis of ordinary Brownian motion cannot be rejected for 14 of 17 series. The three series that did not satisfy the tests were rejected because they violated the stationarity property of the random walk hypothesis.
One-Health Approach: A Best Possible Way to Control Rabies

description: Every year, rabies is believed to claim the lives of about 55,000 individuals worldwide and roughly 36% of the world’s deaths by rabies occur in India each year, most of those when children come into contact with infected dogs. Despite being a viral zoonotic disease that affects mammals, rabies has a significant impact on public health. Although rabies is a disease that may be prevented, its influence is growing daily, which is a worrying problem in both developed and developing nations.

description: The interplay of nearly degenerate orders in quantum materials can lead to a myriad of emergent phases. A prominent case is that of the high-Tc cuprates for which the relationship between superconductivity and a short-ranged, incommensurate charge density wave in the CuO2 planes involving the dx2-y2 orbitals (Cu-CDW) is a subject of great current interest. Strong modifications of the strength and coherence of this Cu-CDW have been achieved by applying large magnetic fields, uniaxial pressure, or via the interfacial coupling in cuprate/manganite multilayers. However, such modifications do not alter the dominant orbital character. Here we investigate cuprate/manganite multilayers with resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) and show that a new kind of Cu-based density wave order can be induced that has not been previously observed in the cuprates. This order has an unusually small wave vector of Q = 0.096 reciprocal lattice units (r.l.u.), a large correlation length of about 40 nm, and a predominant dz2 orbital character, instead of the typical dx2-y2 character. Its appearance is determined by the hole doping of the manganite which is a key parameter controlling the interfacial charge transfer and orbital reconstruction. We anticipate that the observation of a previously unknown type of density wave order at the YBCO interface will allow for fresh perspectives on the enigmatic relation between superconductivity and charge order (CO) in the cuprates.

description: This paper derives the welfare loss to landowners from wildlife damage, which is not the same as the value of yield loss. The paper then estimates the welfare loss to Ontario landowners using willingness to tolerate losses as an indication of on-farm wildlife benefits. Results for Ontario fieldcrop producers in 1998 suggest that the welfare loss is approximately half of the value of the yield loss. A number of variables are significant predictors of willingness to tolerate losses, including wildlife species, prevention activity, changes in local wildlife population levels, and landowners perceptions of the recreational and non-use benefits from wildlife.

description: Second semester University: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
description: This paper is a journey through a rigorous and detailed analysis of a very topical phenomenon that affects millions of people all over the world: violations of the human rights of detained migrants. The stages of this journey start with a global and regional overview, within the Council of Europe, of the phenomenon in question, relying on the most recent reliable sources, and then continue with an analysis from a legal point of view, especially thanks to the study of important judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, and then from a psychological and social point of view, with the contribution of an adequate literature. Some countries will be examined in detail in order to avoid a disproportionate generalisation and to respect the presence of individual geopolitical factors. This research aims to demonstrate the presence, vastness and dangerousness of this phenomenon and, at the same time, offer the hypothesis of an alternative method to strengthen the protection of the human rights of detained migrants at the international level, namely that based on the interdependence between the legal and psychosocial dimensions when analysing and judging on cases of this kind.
The pseudoparticle approach for solving path integrals in gauge theories

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: We present a numerical technique for calculating path integrals in non-compact U(1) and SU(2) gauge theories. The gauge fields are represented by a superposition of pseudoparticles of various types with their amplitudes and color orientations as degrees of freedom. Applied to Maxwell theory this technique results in a potential which is in excellent agreement with the Coulomb potential. For SU(2) Yang-Mills theory the same technique yields clear evidence of confinement. Varying the coupling constant exhibits the same scaling behavior for the string tension, the topological susceptibility and the critical temperature while their dimensionless ratios are similar to those obtained in lattice calculations.

Healthy mining communities : the interdependency of companies and communities
Creators: name: Anderson, Rowena Rae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The mineral industry and its communities are linked in their mutual interdependence. The industry needs the community's cooperation in order to avoid costly delays and perhaps, poor publicity and working relationships. The community needs to work with the mine to ensure that their concerns are heard and that the social and environmental effects of mining are minimized. This thesis explores consensus based (roundtable) approaches as a framework for cooperation. The characteristics of a healthy community based upon the "healthy communities" model are explored for their use as a visionary tool and the presence of a mediator at these meetings is evaluated. The community of Kimberley, British Columbia and the Sullivan Mine with the formation of the Sullivan Public Liaison Committee (SPLC) offers one example of a mine-community consultation process. The committee has met over twenty times since its creation in 1991. This thesis explores the lessons learned from this particular process as well as others with the goal of strengthening mine-community relationships. A detailed literature review and personal interviews with both committee members and the general public were completed with the objective of evaluating the performance of this form of communication and consultation within a Canadian mining community. Findings show that the SPLC is an effective process but could be improved in a few areas. Areas of weakness include lack of committee input into the design phase of the process, a lack of vision by the committee, parties leaving the process, and the absence of a trained mediator. Lastly, it offers an approach for future community relations within the mineral industry that would work towards building consensus for all parties involved. Further research is suggested, in particular detailed research of other committees within the mineral industry, the economic analysis of the costs involved with running a community relations program, and the implementation of a new community relations program within the industry based upon the framework recommended by this research.

description: We seek to contribute to the emerging economic theory on trade, the environment and development. Using panel data across countries, econometric models are estimated to predict the effects of openness on organic water pollutant (BOD) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Results indicate that freer trade significantly increases emissions of both pollutants, thus reducing environmental quality. Moreover, the panel nature of the data allows heterogeneity across countries to be controlled, so that comparisons can be made of how different national characteristics influence the environmental impact of freer trade. By testing the effects of democratic versus autocratic governance, it is found that while greater democracy can induce significant reductions in BOD emissions as openness increases, it may also lead to increased CO2 levels. Meanwhile, by testing for and failing to reject the pollution haven hypothesis, it is suggested that environmental gains from openness in relatively rich countries may be coming at the expense of environmental degradation in poorer countries.

description: While there seems to be an agreement that Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (CUSTA)/North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have benefited member countries, some analysts have argued that the agreements had little effect on the bilateral Canada/US agricultural trade as many other factors have contributed to the increased trade flows. Results from this study reveal that the aggregate bilateral agricultural trade flows have generally experienced a steady growth since the implementation of NAFTA with trade flows seemingly favoring Canada more than the US since 1992. At the industry level, the impacts of NAFTA on Canada/US agricultural trade were varied with the sub-sectors analyzed responding differently to the bilateral trade liberalization.
Black Hole Statistics from Holography

description: We study the microstates of the ``small'' black hole in the $\half$-BPS sector of AdS$_5\times S^5$, the superstar of Myers and Tafjord, using the powerful holographic description provided by LLM. The system demonstrates the inherently statistical nature of black holes, with the geometry of Myer and Tafjord emerging only after averaging over an ensemble of geometries. The individual microstate geometries differ in the highly non-trivial topology of a quantum foam at their core, and the entropy can be understood as a partition of $N$ units of flux among 5-cycles, as required by flux quantization. While the system offers confirmation of the most controversial aspect of Mathur and Lunin's recent ``fuzzball'' proposal, we see signs of a discrepancy in interpreting its details.

description: We report the discovery of a planet in the microlensing event OGLE-2018-BLG-1269, with planet-host mass ratio $q \sim 6\times10^{-4}$, i.e., $0.6$ times smaller than the Jupiter/Sun mass ratio. Combined with the $Gaia$ parallax and proper motion, a strong one-dimensional constraint on the microlens parallax vector allows us to significantly reduce the uncertainties of lens physical parameters. A Bayesian analysis that ignores any information about light from the host yields that the planet is a cold giant $(M_{2} = 0.69_{-0.22}^{+0.44}\,M_{\rm J})$ orbiting a Sun-like star $(M_{1} = 1.13_{-0.35}^{+0.72}\,M_{\odot})$ at a distance of $D_{\rm L} = 2.56_{-0.62}^{+0.92}\,{\rm kpc}$. The projected planet-host separation is $a_{\perp} = 4.61_{-1.17}^{+1.70}\,{\rm au}$. Using {\it Gaia} astrometry, we show that the blended light lies $\lesssim 12\,$mas from the host and therefore must be either the host star or a stellar companion to the host. An isochrone analysis favors the former possibility at $>99.6\%$. The host is therefore a subgiant. For host metallicities in the range of $0.0 \leq {\rm [Fe/H]} \leq +0.3$, the host and planet masses are then in the range of $1.16 \leq M_{1}/M_{\odot} \leq 1.38$ and $0.74 \leq M_{2}/M_{\rm J} \leq 0.89$, respectively. Low host metallicities are excluded. The brightness and proximity of the lens make the event a strong candidate for spectroscopic followup both to test the microlensing solution and to further characterize the system.

description: A number of {[4-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-2-R-1,3-oxazol-5-yl]amino}alkyl methanesulfonates were synthesized and the peculiarities of their reaction with triethylamine were studied. The influence of the structure of the 5-alkanolamine substituent on the efficiency of their transformation into 7-R-1-ethoxy-5-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1λ5-[1,3]oxazolo[4,5-c][1,5,2]oxazaphosphepine-1-ones was clarified. The structure of the [1,3]oxazolo[4,5-c][1,5,2]oxazaphosphepine derivatives has been reliably proven by elemental analysis, IR, 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy (including 1D and 2D experiments), mass spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The oxazole cycle in [1,3]oxazolo[4,5-c][1,5,2]oxazaphosphepines is easily cleaved by water in an acidic environment, which leads to the formation of derivatives of the new heterocyclic system – N-(2-ethoxy-5-methyl-2-oxido-4-oxo-1,5,2-oxazaphosphepan-3-yl)arylamides.

description: Accurately modeling crop yield distributions is important for estimation of crop insurance premiums and farm risk-management decisions. A major challenge in the modeling has been due to small sample size. This study evaluated potentials of L-moments, a recent concept in mathematical statistics, in modeling crop yield distribution. Five candidate distributions were ranked for describing the wheat yields. The selected distribution was robust for small sample and was invariant to de-trending. The result was consistent with that from the maximum likelihood and goodness-of-fit method.

description: All 25 Lick/IDS spectral indices have been computed for the integrated light of simple stellar populations over broad ranges of age and metallicity and with effects from horizontal-branch stars fully implemented. For Balmer indices a significant response was noted for Hgamma and Hdelta when a-elements are enhanced, but Hbeta is rather a-insensitive. We also find that our 5 Gyr and 12 Gyr models of Hgamma and Hdelta overlap in the metal-poor regime because of changing populations of blue horizontal-branch stars. Furthermore, for populations younger than 1 Gyr, Balmer lines become weaker in the metal-poor regime because the main-sequence turnoff is hotter than 10,000 K. We present models at fixed [Fe/H] (rather than fixed heavy element mass fraction Z), and compare to Milky Way globular clusters that have independently estimated mean [Fe/H] and [a/Fe]. Comparison of our models with observations of Milky Way and M31 globular clusters in index-index space are favorable, tracing the observations at a model age of 12 Gyr without any zero-point shifts that are needed by some other models. Contrary to the literature values, the Milky Way globular cluster NGC 6553 appears more metal-rich than NGC 6528 from metal indices. We present Hdelta and Hgamma Lick/IDS indices for the Lick/IDS sample of galaxies. We confirm the well-known enhancement of Mg and Na relative to Fe and Ca among early-type galaxies, and its increase with increasing velocity dispersion. There are distinct differences between globular clusters and galaxies in diagrams involving CN1 and CN2, hinting that the globular cluster environment may be a special one in terms of the amount of N incorporated into stars.

description: Avian influenza disease outbreaks in both Canada and the United States resulted in the depopulation of several million birds. Both countries have laws and regulations stating that owners will receive indemnity from the government to compensate for assets taken or destroyed.

description: Agriculture can potentially contribute to Canada meeting its commitment to reduce net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the Kyoto protocol. A representative crop - livestock feeding farm on the Canadian prairies is used to estimate the cost of net GHG abatement, taking into account CO2 equivalent emissions and carbon sequestration. Optimal cropping systems use direct seeding and continuous cropping, production systems that have lower net GHG emissions. Livestock feeding uses rations with high energy concentration (grain based) because they are more profitable and also produce less methane per animal than forage based diets. Reducing tillage is the least costly means of lowering net emissions ($20/t CO2 eq.), followed by reducing cattle feeding ($32/t CO2 eq.). If emission reductions are high or cattle numbers can not be reduced, cropping is altered to use very little nitrogen fertilizer ($272-567/t CO2 eq.), and cattle feeding is switched to a higher forage diet (up to $1500/t CO2 eq.). The high forage diet has lower emissions per capacity animal, but only because one-half the number of animals can be finished with the same facility capacity. A regional analyses of aggregate emissions will need to incorporate the heterogeneity of farms and soil carbon levels that exist.

description: In this work, we study the $S$, $P$ and $D$ wave resonance contributions to three-body decays $B_{(s)} \to [ D^{(*)}, \bar{D}^{(*)} ] K^+K^-$ by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, where the kaon-kaon invariant mass spectra are dominated by the $f_0(980),f_0(1370),$ $ϕ(1020),ϕ(1680),f_2(1270),f^{\prime}_2(1525),f_2(1750)$ and $f_2(1950)$ resonances. The $KK$ $S$-wave component $f_0(980)$ is modeled with the Flatté formalism, while other resonances are described by the relativistic Breit-Wigner (BW) line shape. The corresponding decay channels are studied by constructing the kaon-kaon distribution amplitude $Φ_{KK}$, which captures important final state interactions between the kaon pair in the resonant region. We found that the PQCD predictions for the branching ratios for most considered decays agree with currently available data within errors. The associated polarization fractions of those vector-vector and vector-tensor decay modes are also predicted, which are expected to be tested in the near future experiments. The invariant mass spectra for the corresponding resonances in the $B_{(s)} \to [D^{(*)}, \bar{D}^{(*)} ] K^+K^-$ decays are well established, which can be confronted with the precise data from the LHCb and Belle II experiments.

An automated chemistry module for the (18F)FDG production

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents the design, chemical procedures, operation, optimization, and performance of a [¹⁸F]FDG synthesis module. Together with the EBCO/ TRIUMF TR 14 cyclotron in C.H.U.S., this module forms an integrated a [¹⁸F]FDG production line, employing aqueous [18F]fluoride as precursors and nucleophilic reaction as the fluorination step. 18 Among many short-lived positron emitting radionuclides, ¹⁸F is the most important and widely used nuclide due to its convenient half-life (t[sub ½] = 109 minutes). The emergence of a [¹⁸F]FDG as the most popular PET radiopharmaceutical has necessitated the development of routine methods of its production in the PET radiochemistry clinic. A synthesis module is required to produce large quantities of a [¹⁸F]FDG reliably, efficiently, and economically. In order to achieve this goal, the fluid transfer system, the heating/cooling mechanism, and the automated control of the module are the key design components. A modified chemistry module based on an EBCO/ TRIUMF design is constructed. After extensive cold tests, 40 hot tests are conducted in C.H.U.S. to optimize the module. Proper cleaning and operation procedures are developed and the optimum reaction parameters are established. The results are satisfactory, while the consistency in the yields displays a great reliability.

description: Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR), for some important reasons, is utilized in Power Distribution for protecting loads especially critical loads against some power quality issues like sag, swell, harmonics and faults. Fast transient response for compensating voltage quality is an unavoidable factor. Different control topologies have been applied to this device. In this project, a DVR is deployed to preserve a critical load that is connected in parallel with the grid and A wind turbine. Several situations of power quality issues have been considered. The simulation results of a proposed system that has been implemented in MATLAB/Simulink show how DVR is effective for protecting loads.

description: The catalogue of the exhibition "Science for the museums: the prehistory of Sombor and its surroundings in the light of new bioarchaeological research", held in Town Museum of Sombor during 12.11.-14.12.2019. The exhibition was authored by the researchers of the BioSense Institute, University of Novi Sad; Town Museum of Sombor, Sombor; Museum Unit in Odžaci, Odžaci; Laboratory for Bioarchaeology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade; and it presented the results of the ERC Project BIRTH: Births, mothers and babies: prehistoric fertility in the Balkans between 10000 and 5000 cal BC. DESCRIPTION: Museums often serve as resources of (bio)archaeological material for various kinds of specialist analyses, however the results seldom find their way to museum exhibitions and the general public. Within the project, the new results of macroscopic, microscopic and physical-chemical analyses of human and animal skeletal remains and artefacts from the Neolithic sites of Magareći mlin, Topole-Bač and Donja Branjevina are presented, in order to familiarize the audience with the lives of humans and animals in prehistory, as well as to introduce them to innovative methods used in archaeological research. The visitors and the workshop participants have the opportunity to learn when did the first inhabitants of Bačka live, what were the lifeways and the environment of the hunter-gatherer communities like, when did the first farmers settle in the area, what did they look like and what was their health status, what did they eat and which animals they kept, how did they feed their babies and bury the deceased memebers of the community. They also learned more about the process of anthropological and archaeozoological analysis, radiocarbon dating, stable isotope analysis of human and animal bones, the analysis of organic residues from pottery vessels, and remote sensing in order to determine the location and landscape settings of archaeological sites. Given that the (bio)archaeological material used in the analyses originated from the Town Museum in Sombor and the Museum Unit in Odžaci, the wider aim of the project was to raise the communication between scientists, the museums and the public to a higher level, and to promote science among schoolchildren.

description: We use high-resolution HI data from the WHISP survey to study the HI and angular momentum properties of a sample of 114 late-type galaxies. We explore the specific baryonic angular momentum -- baryonic mass ($j_b - M_b$) relation, and find that an unbroken power law of the form $j_b \propto M_b^{0.55 \pm 0.02}$ fits the data well, with an intrinsic scatter of $\sim 0.13 \pm 0.01$ dex. We revisit the relation between the atomic gas fraction, $f_{atm}$, and the integrated atomic stability parameter $q$ (the $f_{atm} - q$ relation), originally introduced by Obreschkow et al., and probe this parameter space by populating it with galaxies from different environments, in order to study the influence of the environment on their $j_b$, $f_{atm}$ and $q$ values. We find evidence that galaxies with close neighbours show a larger intrinsic scatter about the $f_{atm} - q$ relation compared to galaxies without close-neighbours. We also find enhanced SFR among the deviating galaxies with close neighbours. In addition, we use the bulge-to-total (B/T) ratio as a morphology proxy, and find a general trend of decreasing B/T values with increasing disc stability and HI fraction in the $f_{atm} - q$ plane, indicating a fundamental link between mass, specific angular momentum, gas fraction and morphology of galaxies.

description: We present a datacube covering the central 10 arcsec of the archetypal active galaxy NGC 1068 over a wavelength range 4200 to 5400 Angstrom. obtained during the commissioning of the integral field unit (IFU) of the Gemini Multiobject Spectrograph (GMOS) installed on the Gemini-North telescope. The datacube shows a complex emission line morphology in the [OIII] doublet and Hbeta line. To describe this structure phenomenologically we construct an atlas of velocity components derived from multiple Gaussian component fits to the emission lines. The atlas contains many features which cannot be readily associated with distinct physical structures. While some components are likely to be associated with the expected biconical outflow, others are suggestive of high velocity flows or disk-like structures. As a first step towards interpretation, we seek to identify the stellar disk using kinematical maps derived from the Mgb absorption line feature at 5170 Angstrom and make associations between this and gaseous components in the atlas of emission line components.

description: In the current study, a series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole derivatives linked to quinazolinone were designed and synthesized by using Phase Transfer Catalysis. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by their IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-ESI-MS spectroscopic data, and their in vitro antiproliferative activities against A549, Hela, MCF-7 as well as L929 were detected by using CCK-8 assay. The results demonstrated that most of the compounds showed better growth inhibitory effect than 5-FU on A549, Hela, and MCF-7 cell lines. Especially, 2-(5-((3-bromophenyl)thio)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (8o), 4-amino-5-((4-nitrophenyl)thio)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (9m) and 2-(4-amino-5-(o-tolylthio)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (9b) showed good antiproliferative activity against A549 cells with IC50 value of 3.46, 2.96, and 3.44 μM, respectively. 2-(4-Amino-5-((3,5-difluorophenyl)thio)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (9h) and 4-amino-5-((4-nitrophenyl)thio)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (9m) had obvious inhibitory effects on Hela cells with IC50 values of 1.76 and 3.91 μM, respectively. 2-(4-Amino-5-((2-chlorophenyl)thio)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (9i) showed high inhibitory activity against MCF-7 cells with IC50 value of 2.72 μM. Meanwhile, all compounds showed lower cytotoxicity to L929 cells than positive control drug 5-FU. In development, according to the above preliminary observation, these novel quinazolinones incorporating 1,3,4-oxadiazole and 1,2,4-triazole thioether moieties could become potential molecular templates for searching new antitumor agents.

description: Recently, magnetic reconnection, where a relativistically hot plasma is confined by a strong magnetic field, has received great attention in relation to astrophysical objects (e.g., pulsar magnetosphere and magnetar). However, reconnection with relativistic high-speed drift current in the plasma sheet has not been investigated yet. Thus, from both the theoretical and computational points of view, we studied the growth rate of relativistic reconnection for the high-speed drift current in a relativistically hot plasma sheet. Consequently, we argue that, contrary to the conventional understanding of the fast energy dissipation by the relativistic reconnection, the growth of magnetic reconnection is suppressed.

description: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a new technology in the field of intraoral imaging which allows 3D visualization of the areas scanned. The aim of our study was to assess the capabilities of CBCT in assessment of dental status, crown and root morphology, dental pathologies, tooth wear and enamel hypoplasia in a sample of 117 teeth from Mesolithic (9000 - 6400 calBC) and Neolithic (6200 - 5300 calBC) individuals from the Central Balkans. The study was carried by CBCT imaging of one root teeth placed in wax rim and stone cast to obtain digital images and 3D reconstructions for odontological assessment. All of the 117 teeth examined showed morphological similarity, similar color, shape, mesio-distal ratio and the presence of significant tooth wear. A few specimens displayed signs of radicular and apical pathology and infractions. In 17 teeth the presence of multiple root canals has been confirmed. Enamel hypoplastic defects were clearly observed and accurate measurements performed in order to evaluate the severity of hypoplasia. The use of CBCT supports the information obtained from archeological, anthropological and DNA investigations. It would seem that there is potential for significant development to be made in the research of paleodontological material using non invasive techniques such as CBCT that could play a crucial role in the investigation of bioarchaeological remains.

description: A precision method for determining |Vub| using the full range in q^2 of B-> pi \ell nu data is presented. At large q^2 the form factor is taken from unquenched lattice QCD, at q^2=0 we impose a model independent constraint obtained from B-> pi pi using the soft-collinear effective theory, and the shape is constrained using QCD dispersion relations. We find |Vub| =(3.54\pm 0.17\pm 0.44) x 10^{-3}. With 5% experimental error and 12% theory error, this is competitive with inclusive methods. Theory error is dominated by the input points, with negligible uncertainty from the dispersion relations.

description: Determination of the chemical and spectroscopic natures of defects in materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) remains a serious challenge for both experiment and theory. To establish basics needs for reliable calculations, we consider a model defect $V_N N_B$ in h-BN in which a boron-for-nitrogen substitution is accompanied by a nitrogen vacancy, examining its lowest-energy transition, (1)2B1 to (1)2A1. This provides a relatively simple test system as open-shell and charge-transfer effects, that are difficult to model and can dominate defect spectroscopy, are believed to be small. We establish calculation convergence with respect to sample size using both cluster and 2D-periodic models, convergence with respect to numerical issues such as use of plane-wave or Gaussian-basis-set expansions, and convergence with respect to the treatment of electron correlation. The results strongly suggest that poor performance of computational methods for defects of other natures arise through intrinsic methodological shortcomings.
