description: Not only the horse as a living creature, but also equestrian sport, has a positive influence on the general upbringing and development of young people. Although equestrian sport still exerts a strong fascination, it is becoming more difficult to inspire young people to take part in this time-consuming and costly sport. It is not only the equestrian sport which is affected by this – the majority of sport clubs offering different types of sport have registered diminishing member numbers. Especially those riding schools which consider themselves as being service providers in equestrian sport are confronted with the challenge of binding children and adolescents to their school for a longer term, thereby enabling the schools to manage themselves sustainably. The present study has, therefore, investigated the various factors which influence customer satisfaction in riding schools and their significance by using a structural equation model. A survey of 203 children and adolescents was undertaken in five different German riding schools. Customer satisfaction was particularly influenced by the “design of the riding lessons” and the “school horses”. The influence of the “riding instructor”, however, was more indirect (acting over the direct impact on the design of the lessons and the school’s horses) than direct. One most noticeable aspect of the results is the strong influence of customer satisfaction on recommendation behaviour.

description: The study examines the recent changes in per capita consumption of apples and exotic fruits focusing on the competition between the two fruit categories. In particular, the per capita consumption of apples declined from about 21 kg in 2004 to about 15 kg in 2012, while the consumption of exotic fruit increased from about 9 kg to kg in 2005 to 12.5 kg in 2012. The examination stresses the inadequacy to analyze consumption using the concept of “an average household” because the concept does not reflect the potential differences in households with inadequate fresh fruit consumption such as families with a large number of children. Using GUS data for the period 2008-2012, the paper illustrates the differences in the consumption of both fruit categories according to households classified applying demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Graphic presentation of per capita consumption volume and statistical test results show the large differences in the consumption of apples, the primary domestic fruit, and imported fruits. Poland’s apple growers, fruit importers, distributors and retailers as well as public health agencies are offered insights useful in making decisions about apple promotion, marketing strategies and consumer education programs.

description: The data from the first measurement, performed at ANKE/COSY, of the unpolarized cross section of the reaction $pd\to (pp)n$ in the kinematics of backward elastic $pd\to dp$ scattering at proton-beam energies between 0.6 and 1.9 GeV are analyzed in a phenomenological approach. The $pd\to (pp)n$ data and the triplet cross section of the reaction $pd\to (pn)p$, calculated from the $pd\to dp$ data on the basis of the Fäldt-Wilkin extrapolation, are used here to derive the ratio $ζ$ of the singlet production matrix element squared to the triplet one. This ratio, defined in our earlier analysis of $pd\to (pn)p$ data in a largely model-independent way, depends on the dynamics of the $pd$ interaction. We find here $ζ\approx 0.02$ and show that the smallness of this value may point toward softness of the deuteron at short NN distances.

description: We investigate a disordered two-dimensional lattice model for noninteracting electrons with long-range power-law transfer terms and apply the method of level statistics for the calculation of the critical properties. The eigenvalues used are obtained numerically by direct diagonalization. We find a metal-insulator transition for a system with orthogonal symmetry. The exponent governing the divergence of the correlation length at the transition is extracted from a finite size scaling analysis and found to be $ν=2.6\pm 0.15$. The critical eigenstates are also analyzed and the distribution of the generalized multifractal dimensions is extrapolated.

description: Detection of small-sized targets in aerial views is a challenging task due to the smallness of vehicle size, complex background, and monotonic object appearances. In this letter, we propose a one-stage vehicle detection network (AVDNet) to robustly detect small-sized vehicles in aerial scenes. In AVDNet, we introduced ConvRes residual blocks at multiple scales to alleviate the problem of vanishing features for smaller objects caused because of the inclusion of deeper convolutional layers. These residual blocks, along with enlarged output feature map, ensure the robust representation of the salient features for small sized objects. Furthermore, we proposed a recurrent-feature aware visualization (RFAV) technique to analyze the network behavior. We also created a new airborne image data set (ABD) by annotating 1396 new objects in 79 aerial images for our experiments. The effectiveness of AVDNet is validated on VEDAI, DLR- 3K, DOTA, and the combined (VEDAI, DLR-3K, DOTA, and ABD) data set. Experimental results demonstrate the significant performance improvement of the proposed method over state-of-the-art detection techniques in terms of mAP, computation, and space complexity.

description: This paper introduces the definition of mental poverty and the status quo of mental poverty in China's rural areas. Mental poverty in China's rural areas embodies the following aspects: the sense of parochialism is serious; the small farmer consciousness is strong; there is misgiving about identity. This paper analyses the reason of Mental poverty influencing farmers' behavior model and rural economic development. Mental poverty influences the farmers' changing current situation; Mental poverty influences the rural population structure; Mental poverty influences the rural normal order. The countermeasures and proposals are put forward to obviate Mental poverty in rural areas as follows: first, strengthen farmers' consciousness of main body, and improve farmers' psychological feeling; second, coordinate urban-rural development, and strengthen farmers' social identity degree; third, increase inputs into cultural building, and promote farmers' quality; fourth, open up mind, and encourage the outflow of labor forces.

description: The appropriate selection of recurrence thresholds is a key problem in applications of recurrence quantification analysis and related methods across disciplines. Here, we discuss the distribution of pairwise distances between state vectors in the studied system's state space reconstructed by means of time-delay embedding as the key characteristic that should guide the corresponding choice for obtaining an adequate resolution of a recurrence plot. Specifically, we present an empirical description of the distance distribution, focusing on characteristic changes of its shape with increasing embedding dimension. Our results suggest that selecting the recurrence threshold according to a fixed percentile of this distribution reduces the dependence of recurrence characteristics on the embedding dimension in comparison with other commonly used threshold selection methods. Numerical investigations on some paradigmatic model systems with time-dependent parameters support these empirical findings.

description: In recent years, the price of traditional Chinese medicinal materials soars continuously, and the resulting price risk increasingly looms large, which has critically affected midstream and downstream industries and peoples' demand for drug, and imperiled healthy and orderly development of traditional Chinese medicinal industries. Based on the status quo of continuous skyrocketing price of traditional Chinese medicinal materials at present, we winkle out the root cause of soaring price as follows: the supply and demand lose balance; the production costs hike up; there are other factors responsible for soaring price. This paper further analyses the impact of sharp increase in price of traditional Chinese medicinal materials on ail links of industry chain as follows: the medicinal herb growers never benefit from soaring price; the counterfeiters and forgers in midstream industry increase; the gross profit rate of Chinese medicine enterprises declines. In accordance with the risk arising from abnormal fluctuation in price of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, corresponding precautionary measures are put forward as follows: promote the quality of traditional Chinese medicinal materials through management of value chain; curtail the production and management cost of traditional Chinese medicinal materials through management of organization chain; stabilize price of traditional Chinese medicinal materials through management of information chain; reduce transaction cost of traditional Chinese medicinal materials through management of logistics chain.

description: We develop an implementation for a recently proposed Noisy Monte Carlo approach to the simulation of lattice QCD with dynamical fermions by incorporating the full fermion determinant directly. Our algorithm uses a quenched gauge field update with a shifted gauge coupling to minimize fluctuations in the trace log of the Wilson Dirac matrix. The details of tuning the gauge coupling shift as well as results for the distribution of noisy estimators in our implementation are given. We present data for some basic observables from the noisy method, as well as acceptance rate information and discuss potential autocorrelation and sign violation effects. Both the results and the efficiency of the algorithm are compared against those of Hybrid Monte Carlo.

description: Optomagnonic cavities have recently been emerging as promising candidates for implementing coherent microwave-to-optical conversion, quantum memories and devices, and next generation quantum networks. A key challenge in the design of such cavities is the attainment of high efficiencies, which could, e.g., be exploited for efficient optical interfacing of superconducting qubits, as well as the practicality of the final designs, which ideally should be planar and amenable to on-chip integration. Here, on the basis of a novel time Floquet scattering-matrix approach, we report on the design and optimization of a planar, multilayer optomagnonic cavity, incorporating a Ce:YIG thin film, magnetized in-plane, operating in the triple-resonant inelastic light scattering regime. This architecture allows for conversion efficiencies of about 5%, under realistic conditions, which is orders of magnitude higher than alternative designs. Our results suggest a viable way forward for realizing practical information inter-conversion between microwave photons and optical photons, mediated by magnons, with efficiencies intrinsically greater than those achieved in optomechanics and alternative related technologies, as well as a platform for fundamental studies of classical and quantum dynamics in magnetic solids, and implementation of futuristic quantum devices.

description: Neutrinos produced during the collapse of a massive star are trapped in a nuclear medium (the proto-neutron star). Typically, neutrino energies (10-100 MeV) are of the order of nuclear giant resonances energies. Hence, neutrino propagation is modified by the possibility of coherent scattering on nucleons. We have compared the predictions of different nuclear interaction models. It turns out that their main discrepancies are related to the density dependence of the k-effective mass as well as to the onset of instabilities as density increases. This last point had led us to a systematic study of instabilities of infinite matter with effective Skyrme-type interactions. We have shown that for such interactions there is always a critical density, above which the system becomes unstable.

description: With regard to applications in dispersed systems (i.e. emulsions), improving the poor solubility of pea protein in the pH-range applicable to foods (pH 3 to pH 7) is a prerequisite. To achieve this, a pea protein concentrate was produced on a lab scale using alkaline extraction and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to degrees of 2 and 4%. Solubility was improved and interfacial properties were influenced. All samples led to the formation of emulsions but displayed a tendency towards wider oil-droplet size distributions at pH close to the isoelectric point. Using microscopy, this increase could be attributed to the formation of aggregates, which in turn can be ascribed to lack of repulsion caused by the low absolute values of ζ-potentials. The same lack of repulsion led to stronger and more elastic interfacial films at pH 4 and 5 than at pH 7. Moreover, film strength increased significantly with increasing degree of hydrolysis. Dilatational experiments imply that hydrolysis enhances in-plane structural rearrangements. Thus, it is concluded that tryptic hydrolysis has the potential to improve the overall stability of emulsions.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed a fine nanostructure consisting of ~3-5 nm YB4 nanoparticles embedded within MgB2 grains of ~400 nm size. Compared to an undoped control sample, an improvement in the in-field critical current density Jc was observed, most notably for 10% doping. At 4.2K, the lower bound Jc value was ~2x105A.cm-2 at 2T. At 20K, the corresponding value was ~8x104A.cm-2. Irreversibility fields were ~11.5 T at 4.2K and 5.5T at 20K, compared to ~4T and ~8T, respectively, for high-pressure synthesized bulk samples.

The results show the main factors responsible for the hiking of prices of agricultural products as follows: the cost of agricultural products climbs incessantly; the circulation cost hovers at high level; the factor inputs of agricultural products are short; inflation pressure is incessantly mounting; the profit distribution of supply chain is irrational. Finally, corresponding countermeasures are put forward.

We measured $Γ_{γγ}(χ_{c}) \times {\mathcal B}(χ_{c} \to π^+π^-π^+π^-)$ to be 75 +- 13 (stat) +- 8 (syst) eV for the $χ_{c0}$ and 6.4 +- 1.8 (stat) +- 0.8 (syst) eV for the $χ_{c2}$, implying $Γ_{γγ}(χ_{c0})$ = 3.76 +- 0.65 (stat) +- 0.41 (syst) +- 1.69 (br) keV and $Γ_{γγ}(χ_{c2})$ = 0.53 +- 0.15 (stat) +- 0.06 (syst) +- 0.22 (br) keV. Also, cancelation of dominant experimental and theoretical uncertainties permits a precise comparison of $Γ_{γγ}(χ_{c0})/Γ_{γγ}(χ_{c2})$, evaluated to be 7.4 +- 2.4 (stat) +- 0.5 (syst) +- 0.9 (br), with QCD-based predictions.

Subjects: subject: International business enterprises Government policy Australia

description: This study seeks to identify the nature of the bargaining relationship between manufacturing multinational corporations and a host government, to assess the distributive pattern of power and authority in such a relationship and the independence of government policy-making, and to evaluate the viability of the modern State in the contemporary international system. These objectives are pursued through an examination of the Australian Government's relationship with manufacturing multinationals. Particular attention is given to the motor vehicles industry. The study advances the propositions that (1) the balance of bargaining power between manufacturing multinationals and host governments is to the advantage of the governments in the initial stages and to the advantage of the corporations in the mature stages of the relationship (2> the distribution of power and authority at each stage of the relationship reflects the respective power bases of the actors, the degree of mutual need and the international context of the relationship and (3) the viability of the modern State is not undermined by the operations of manufacturing multinationals. The research suggests that <1) the manufacturing multinationals have an initial bargaining advantage over host governments with the latter gaining the advantage as the relationship matures (2) the weight of the respective power bases, mutual need and international relations does support these dynamic bargaining positions and <3) the viability of the modern State is not compromised by the activities of manufacturing multinationals.

description: Two-particle correlation functions of negatively charged hadrons from Pb-Pb collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon have been measured by the WA97 experiment at the CERN SPS. A Coulomb correction procedure that assumes an expanding source has been implemented. Within the framework of an expanding thermalized source model the size and dynamical state of the collision fireball at freeze-out have been reconstructed as a function of the centrality of the collision. Less central collisions exhibit a different dynamics than central ones: both transverse and longitudinal expansion velocities are slower, the expansion duration is shorter and the system freezes out showing smaller dimensions and higher temperature.

description: The dynamics of instantons and anti-instantons in lattice QCD can be studied by analysing the action and topological charge of configurations as they approach a self-dual or anti-self-dual state, i.e. a state in which S/S_0=|Q|. We use cooling to reveal the semi-classical structure of the configurations we study. Improved actions which eliminate discretization errors up to and including O(a^4) are used to stabilise instantons as we cool for several thousand sweeps. An analogously improved lattice version of the continuum field-strength tensor is used to construct a topological charge free from O(a^4) discretization errors. Values of the action and topological charge obtained with these improved operators approach mutually-consistent integer values to within a few parts in 10^4 after several hundred cooling sweeps. Analysis of configurations with |Q| \approx 1 and |Q| \approx 2 supports the hypothesis that a self-dual |Q|=1 configuration cannot exist on the 4-torus.

description: In the light of changing nutritional trends and recommendations, yoghurt style gels from plant proteins are a promising way to incorporate relevant amounts of plant derived proteins into the diet. However, in order to attain a high level of consumer acceptance, a thorough understanding of rheological behaviour, involved protein fractions and relevant interactions is mandatory in order to later be able to customise properties of fermentation induced gels. Therefore, the aim of this study was to first characterise the type of dominating interactions within the gel network and the protein fractions involved followed by determination of the rheological properties of gels made from pea protein and pea protein hydrolysates. Results showed that the protein-protein interactions were mainly hydrophobic in nature and involved mostly the legumin fraction. A smaller contribution could be ascribed to electrostatic interactions between vicilin and the basic legumin-β chain, thus incorporating some vicilin into the gel. The interaction between vicilin and the basic legumin-β chain was influenced by modification of the molecular weight distribution via enzymatic hydrolysis. Especially hydrolysis with trypsin led to an enhanced involvement of vicilin in the gel structure due to the increased availability of legumin-β. The molecular weight distribution only had a minor impact on the rheological properties of the fermentation induced pea protein gels leading to the conclusion that in rheology the type of interactions is more important, than the protein fractions involved.

description: As part of the project entitled "Management Options for Grain Production in the 1980s and 1990s", a farmer survey was conducted during the fall and winter of 1988-89. A total of 234 Manitoba crop producers were interviewed, and asked questions concerning the information used and required in making specific crop management decisions. The survey respondents were asked questions pertaining to the following management decisions : 1. fertilizer rates, and method/timing of nitrogen application, ii. method/timing of pesticide application, 111. varietal selection for wheat and canola, and iv. canola acreage decisions. In each case, farmers were requested to provide actual practices, information used in making decisions, and perceived information gaps. Producers were also asked questions in two other areas relating to crop production. First, feedback concerning the degree of use and usefulness of several Manitoba Agriculture publications was requested. Secondly, farmers were asked to comment on two current issues in crop production; the dry conditions that were experienced during 1988, and the prevalence of soil conservation practices. The survey respondents indicated that most of the information that is available to them is put to use in making crop management decisions. However, the producers indicated, through their responses, that further information is required in order to make the proper decisions. This conclusion was consistent for all of the various management decisions that were addressed in the survey. The primary recommendation arising from this study is that information required for crop management decisions should be more specific. The specificity may be for regional differences, soil type differences, crop/varietal differences, or climatic differences, depending upon the type of decision being considered.

description: We consider the structure factor of a system of colloidal particles immersed in a host liquid. Each particle is assumed to be affected by forces due to other particles, a drag force proportional to the velocity of the particle relative to the local velocity of the fluid and a fluctuating random noise. The effect of the particles on the velocity field of the host liquid is neglected. The problem is treated within the RPA approximation which is a widely used tool in many body theory. The validity of the RPA result is discussed.

description: Benefit cost analysis is a tried and tested analytical framework that can clearly communicate likely net changes in social welfare from investment decisions to diverse stakeholder audiences. However, in a plant biosecurity context, it is often difficult to predict policy benefits over time due to complex biophysical interaction between invasive species and their hosts. In this paper, we demonstrate how benefit cost analysis remains highly relevant to biosecurity decision-makers using the example of a plant pathogen targeted for eradication from banana growing regions of Australia, banana bunchy top virus. We develop a partial budgeting approach using a stratified diffusion spread model to simulate the likely benefits of eradication to the banana industry over time relative to a status quo policy. Using Monte Carlo simulation to generate a range of possible future incursion scenarios, we predict that eradicating the disease will generate $12.5-23.6 million increased annual revenue for the banana industry. To reduce these benefits to zero would require a bunchy top re-establishment event three years in every four. Sensitivity analysis indicates that eradication benefits can be greatly improved through improvements in disease surveillance and incursion response.

description: This paper investigates the factors that lead a family business to name a successor for the business, as the succession process often begins with naming a successor. We further separate family businesses into farm and non-farm businesses to compare and contrast the results. The factors used in the probit regression are clustered into three groups: business factors, family factors, and individual factors. Identifying the barriers that family businesses face when naming a successor will help Extension and other small and family business consulting agencies and organizations to formulate a guide to assist families when working through this process.

description: Polarimetric thermal to visible face verification entails matching two images that contain significant domain differences. Several recent approaches have attempted to synthesize visible faces from thermal images for cross-modal matching. In this paper, we take a different approach in which rather than focusing only on synthesizing visible faces from thermal faces, we also propose to synthesize thermal faces from visible faces. Our intuition is based on the fact that thermal images also contain some discriminative information about the person for verification. Deep features from a pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are extracted from the original as well as the synthesized images. These features are then fused to generate a template which is then used for verification. The proposed synthesis network is based on the self-attention generative adversarial network (SAGAN) which essentially allows efficient attention-guided image synthesis. Extensive experiments on the ARL polarimetric thermal face dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance.
