description: Background: Previous studies suggest that social media use among the youth is correlated with online and offline political participation. There is also a mixed and inconclusive debate on whether more online political participation in the youth increases their offline political participation. Methods: This study uses three models of OLS, two-way fixed effects, and an instrumental variable approach to make causal inferences about social media use, online, and offline political participation of the youth. Findings: The analyses provide evidence of a large effect of casual social media use on online political participation, and no effect or negligible effect on offline political participation and voting behavior. The results from fixed effects and instrumental variable models provide strong evidence of elasticity between online and offline political participation in young individuals. On average, a one percent increase in online political participation increases the offline political activity index by 0.12 percent.

description: This study presents a narrative review of the literature on privacy concerns of Open Government Data (OGD) programs and identifies suggested technical, procedural, and legal remedies. Peer-reviewed articles were identified and analysed from major bibliographic databases, including Web of Science, Digital ACM Library, IEEE Explore Digital Library and Science Direct. Included articles focus on identifying individual information privacy concerns from the viewpoint of OGD stakeholders or providing solutions for mitigating concerns and risks. Papers that discussed and focused on general privacy issues or privacy concerns of open data in general or open science privacy concerns were excluded. Three streams of research were identified: 1) exploring privacy concerns and balance with OGD value propositions, 2) proposing solutions for mitigating privacy concerns, and 3) developing risk-based frameworks for the OGD program at different governmental levels. Findings suggest that contradictions with Fair Information Practices, reidentification risks, conflicts with OGD value propositions, and smart city data practices are significant privacy concerns in the literature. Proposed solutions include technical, legal, and procedural measures to mitigate privacy concerns. Building on the findings, practical implications and suggested future research directions are provided.

description: We have performed experiments on single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks and compared with density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to identify the microscopic origin of the observed sensitivity of the network conductivity to physisorbed O2 and N2. Previous DFT calculations of the transmission function for isolated pristine SWNTs have found physisorbed molecules have little influence on their conductivity. However, by calculating the four-terminal transmission function of crossed SWNT junctions, we show that physisorbed O2 and N2 do affect the junction's conductance. This may be understood as an increase in tunneling probability due to hopping via molecular orbitals. We find the effect is substantially larger for O2 than for N2, and for semiconducting rather than metallic SWNTs junctions, in agreement with experiment.

description: The current demand for goat meat in the US outstrips domestic supply. There is great potential for industry growth in the meat and dairy sectors. Whereas fiber prices have improved, loss of animals and market resources, labor costs for shearing, and lack of animal genetic resources prevent growth in the short term. As producers age, there is opportunity for new producers to enter the marketplace. Significant challenges exist, like access to local markets and abattoirs, dewormer resistant parasites, and feed costs. Establishing goat feedlots can increase meat supply and industry commercialization. Technologies used for cattle will be expanded for use in goats with interconnected sensors collecting health and production data. The field of genetic improvement will change from current production testing to identifying superior animals at an early age using DNA analysis. A quality assurance program is needed to address animal welfare issues and promote the consumption of domestic products to consumers.

description: The principle of multilateralism, the norms underpinning the rules-based international order, and international organisations (IOs) are widely believed to be under pressure. In this literature review, we explore how effective and democratic international institutions, particularly IOs, have been over time and in different policy fields. Overall, IOs have proven to be effective governance actors and have become more democratic after the end of the Cold War. Still, the literature is often ambivalent, sometimes contradictory and, at least for IO effectiveness, no longer up to date. Further, we identify the key determinants of effective and democratic IOs. We find that factors like material resources, legitimacy, domestic regime type, and domestic capacity matter evenly for both institutional properties, whereas other factors only account for one of them. We conclude with some first indications for a nexus with the robustness of
international institutions.

In diesem Literaturbericht untersuchen wir, wie effektiv und demokratisch internationale Institutionen, insbesondere IOs, im Laufe der Zeit und in verschiedenen Politikfeldern waren. Insgesamt haben sich IOs als wirksame Governance-Akteure erwiesen und sind nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges demokratischer geworden. Dennoch ist die Literatur oft ambivalent, manchmal widersprüchlich und, zumindest was die Effektivtität von IOs betrifft, nicht mehr auf dem neuesten Stand. Darüber hinaus identifizieren wir die wichtigsten Erklärungsfaktoren effektiver und demokratischer IOs. Wir stellen fest, dass Faktoren wie materielle Ressourcen, Legitimität, Regimetypus und Kapazitäten der Mitgliedstaaten für beide institutionellen Eigenschaften gleichermaßen wichtig sind, während andere Faktoren nur einen der beiden Aspekte beeinflussen. Der Literaturbericht schließt mit einer ersten Diskussion des Zusammenhangs beider Eigenschaften mit der Robustheit internationaler Institutionen.

description: An occupancy problem with an infinite number of bins and a random probability vector for the locations of the balls is considered. The respective sizes of bins are related to the split times of a Yule process. The asymptotic behavior of the landscape of first empty bins, i.e., the set of corresponding indices represented by point processes, is analyzed and convergences in distribution to mixed Poisson processes are established. Additionally, the influence of the random environment, the random probability vector, is analyzed. It is represented by two main components: an i.i.d. sequence and a fixed random variable. Each of these components has a specific impact on the qualitative behavior of the stochastic model. It is shown in particular that for some values of the parameters, some rare events, which are identified, play an important role on average values of the number of empty bins in some regions.

In this model, the familiar doublet for wavelength 800 nm and intensities of order 0.5 PW/cm^2, becomes a triplet for wavelength 1314 nm, then a doublet with plateau for 2017 nm. The results are explained based on whether the post-ionization impulse from the laser results in backward drift for one or both electrons.

Laboratory studies of flow properties and associated crystal structure in Holocene and Wisconsin ice

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Ice mechanical experiments in uniaxial compression and in simple shear configurations were carried out at 0.2 MPa octahedral shear stress and - 5 ¬¨‚àûC on ice core samples deposited as snow during the Wisconsin and Holocene periods. Tested samples were selected from ice cores drilled in South Greenland (Dye 3), Ellesmere Island, Canada (Agassiz Ice Cap) and East Antarctica (Law Dome Ice Cap), with an aim to finding the reasons for different flow rates between Wisconsin ice and Holocene ice. These different flow rates, reported by some glaciologists, were inferred from field measurements of borehole closure and inclination. The ice test samples were analysed for crystal size and orientation fabric, and soluble and insoluble impurity concentrations. The experiments, in two different stress configurations, gave coincident results. With the progression of strain, the deformation of the Wisconsin ice and of the Holocene ice tended to reach a constant tertiary (steady state) flow rate. Ice with a c-axis fabric pattern compatible with the applied stress configuration (small circle girdle pattern for compression and single maximum pattern for shear) reached steady state flow directly, without passing through a minimum creep stage. For the steady state tertiary flow, there was no evidence found of any significant difference between the flow rates of Wisconsin and Holocene ice. Crystal size and the presence of impurities (in the concentrations found in the different ice samples) seemed not to affect the ice flow rates at the temperature and stress tested. The ice flow rates were found to be determined mainly by crystal orientation fabric pattern. It is concluded therefore, that the more rapid flow measured in some field projects for the Wisconsin ice is primarily due to enhanced crystal orientation strength.

description: Goats were first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent and then spread throughout the world. Goats were brought to North America into the southwestern U.S. in the 17th century by early Spanish explorers and clergy. These goats are the ancestors of the Spanish goat of Texas and the Lamancha breed of California. English and other European settlers also brought their goats as they moved into the eastern U.S in the 18th century. Angora goats were first imported in the U.S. in the mid-19th century and the earliest importation of officially recognized dairy goat breeds occurred in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Most recently the Boer and Kiko goats were imported into the United States in the late 20th century. The numbers of goats have fluctuated over the years but generally, have increased. However, Angora numbers have plummeted precipitously after the repeal of a production incentive program.

A GIS approach for mobile telephone signal path-loss prediction
Creators: name: Yang, Helen Yingchieh
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Signal propagation path-loss prediction is a fundamental problem for the planning and design of a cellular mobile telephone system. Many models, empirical, experimental, or analytical, have been designed and used. The analytical models apply the path-loss prediction formulae to path profiles derived from a digital elevation model to obtain the signal path-loss. The digital elevation model stores detailed terrain height data. The heights can be sampled regularly, or selectively stored to capture important terrain features. The regular sampled elevation database (grid model) has been used for most of the existing analytical path loss prediction models. Carefully examination of the grid model reveals that it is not the only terrain representation. TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) terrain model can be used as an alternative elevation database. With the TIN model, sudden changes and other surface features that are difficult to store in the grid model can be included in the database. More accurate path profiles could be derived and more accurate path loss prediction would be achieved. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are a new technology that are often used in applications requiring analysis and manipulation of the spatial conditions and situations. It provides spatial and non-spatial databases, as well as various analytical tools for general application purposes. The characteristics of a GIS are such that it can be used for radio signal path-loss prediction. This thesis examines the existing analytical path-loss prediction methods. The possibility and feasibility of using GIS analytical tools to predict signal propagation path-loss is discussed. GIS functions, using TIN as a terrain representation are used to carry out qualitative and quantitative analysis of signal propagation based on the analytical prediction models are examined and prototyped. The method is implemented using AML programs in ARC/INFO software, and C functions on a SUN Spare workstation. The test is performed on the Hobart area in Tasmania, Australia. Program performance speed and accuracy are analyzed and discussed against the method based on grid terrain model.

description: The effectiveness of active learning largely depends on the sampling efficiency of the acquisition function. Expected Loss Reduction (ELR) focuses on a Bayesian estimate of the reduction in classification error, and more general costs fit in the same framework. We propose Bayesian Estimate of Mean Proper Scores (BEMPS) to estimate the increase in strictly proper scores such as log probability or negative mean square error within this framework. We also prove convergence results for this general class of costs. To facilitate better experimentation with the new acquisition functions, we develop a complementary batch AL algorithm that encourages diversity in the vector of expected changes in scores for unlabeled data. To allow high-performance classifiers, we combine deep ensembles, and dynamic validation set construction on pretrained models, and further speed up the ensemble process with the idea of Monte Carlo Dropout. Extensive experiments on both texts and images show that the use of mean square error and log probability with BEMPS yields robust acquisition functions and well-calibrated classifiers, and consistently outperforms the others tested. The advantages of BEMPS over the others are further supported by a set of qualitative analyses, where we visualise their sampling behaviour using data maps and t-SNE plots.

In recent years there has been much focus on increasing female participation within sport, with statistics suggesting it to be lower than male participation by two million females in the UK. Significant factors in this discrepancy are the physical barriers around body size and shape that influence participation, one of which is relating to the female breast. There is evidence to suggest that it is desirable to control motion of the breast in order to permit physical activity without causing discomfort or damage, but this is not well quantified, and much research has focused on subjective opinions or simplistic measurement. Given the breast is a highly deformable body that is subjected to dynamic loading it is possible that significant information is being missed by this simple approach. Digital image correlation (DIC) offers the opportunity to capture non-contact, high resolution, whole field measurements of shape and deformation of physical objects under loading. It has been developed over many years and finds widespread application across aeronautical or automotive industries as well as in human and sports analyses. DIC offers a convenient and high fidelity means of capturing the full motion of the human torso during physical movement, allowing different movements, subjects or support garments to be objectively analysed. The aim of the research presented was to analyse the influence of three sports bras of different impact levels on motion of the breast using a controlled forward rotation.

description: The forced departure of Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu in May 2016 and the attempted coup d’état of July 2016 against the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government in Turkey were catalysts for a new phase in the country’s foreign policy. The emphasis on the “civilizational” aspects of Turkey’s role in foreign affairs is diminishing and being replaced by a more “transactional”, unplanned, ad hoc type of foreign policy, based on expediency. The ideological preferences of the AKP government are still significant but, as Turkey descends into internal crisis, and the Syrian war continues to take its toll, the interests and survival of the ruling party are increasingly paramount. The author explores the implications of this shift for Turkey’s foreign policy and the country’s role in the MENA region.

This publication is part of the MENARA Future Notes series which in the form of policy briefs analyse ongoing events in the SEMCs and Middle East region, emphasising the implications for the EU, suggesting the best policy options and assessing plausible and preferable future scenarios.

description: In order to perform numerical simulations of the KPZ equation, in any dimensionality, a spatial discretization scheme must be prescribed. The known fact that the KPZ equation can be obtained as a result of a Hopf--Cole transformation applied to a diffusion equation (with \emph{multiplicative} noise) is shown here to strongly restrict the arbitrariness in the choice of spatial discretization schemes. On one hand, the discretization prescriptions for the Laplacian and the nonlinear (KPZ) term cannot be independently chosen. On the other hand, since the discretization is an operation performed on \emph{space} and the Hopf--Cole transformation is \emph{local} both in space and time, the former should be the same regardless of the field to which it is applied. It is shown that whereas some discretization schemes pass both consistency tests, known examples in the literature do not. The requirement of consistency for the discretization of Lyapunov functionals is argued to be a natural and safe starting point in choosing spatial discretization schemes. We also analyze the relation between real-space and pseudo-spectral discrete representations. In addition we discuss the relevance of the Galilean invariance violation in these consistent discretization schemes, and the alleged conflict of standard discretization with the fluctuation--dissipation theorem, peculiar of 1D.

description: Internal parasites represent a significant obstacle to a profitable and sustainable US goat industry. In some states, internal parasites are a year-round problem, while in others, they are a more seasonal challenge. Traditionally, parasite control methods relied heavily on antiparasitic drugs called anthelmintics or dewormers. Continued use and misuse of these drugs have resulted in increasingly resistant worm populations, necessitating more holistic or integrated methods of parasite control. A combination of practices will usually be necessary to achieve a satisfactory level of control. This paper discusses best management practices for controlling internal parasites in small ruminants, including pasture and grazing management, nutrition, zero grazing, and genetic selection, targeted selective treatment (TST), bioactive forages (e.g., sericea lespedeza) and copper oxide wire particles. Because the judicious use of anthelmintics is essential to effective parasite control, the paper additionally discusses the proper use of antiparasitic drugs, including how to measure and manage drug resistance.

Sport analytics have become a vital aspect of training for a professional athlete. Part of the training routine is based on the video analysis of themselves or competitors. Video can be obtained either from (i) controlled sensor based footage (ii) amateur footage or (iii) televised broadcasts. Television based broadcasting is the easiest to acquire and follows a systematic order for each sport. Also, considerable metadata is embedded through the broadcasters’ scorecard information on screen that may be critical in pinpointing key segments in the game. Traditional methods for automated sports highlights have focused on audio-visual features, speech recognition of commentary, shot cut detection. Broadcaster footage displays metadata on screen that needs to become accessible. To prevent double entry of annotations, this paper proposes a semi automated manner to extract metadata and process it to find keypoints (highlights) within the broadcast stream.

description: One lawful method to dispose of animal carcasses is composting. Mortality composting is a “green” method that provides the producer with valuable soil amendments. Composting sites should be away from water sources and public areas. Some states require a facility and/or permit for carcass composting so producers should contact their State Veterinarian. Animal composting generates little to no odor and generates temperatures high enough to kill pathogens. Mortality composting is an aerobic process and requires a proper C:N ratio achieved by using a high carbon source to envelop the carcass, moisture content of roughly 50%, and available oxygen. Common composting materials are sawdust, ground hay or straw, rice hulls, and stable waste. It can be done using permanent structures or low-cost alternatives. About half of the resulting compost can be used to establish a new pile. Compost from mortality composting can be used on pastures, in landscaping, and elsewhere.
An investigation of talus slope development in the Similkameen Valley near Keremeos, B.C.

description: Talus form and development in the Similkameen Valley near Keremeos, British Columbia was investigated. Initial observations suggested that talus formation in the region was entering a passive stage and subsequent analysis has confirmed that the talus slopes are tending towards stability. Volcanic ash exposed on one talus slope allowed the calculation of relative rates of past and recent talus accumulation which supported a 'diminishing sediment yield' concept. Analysis of climate data recorded at Keremeos since 1930 revealed a high frequency of frost cycles. This suggests the importance of frost action as a mechanism of weathering along the exposed headwalls and it is thought that the occurrence of abundant and massive talus forms in the region is basically the result of frost weathering in association with lithologic controls. A fence structure designed to capture rockfall debris yielded fair results and substantiated the validity of using vegetation as an index of stability on talus slopes. A weak but not monotonic increase in sediment size down slope was detected on a number of slopes, contradicting an initial visual impression. Debris sampled along lateral profiles on one talus cone is significantly larger at the 1% level than debris sampled along the central profile. Some correlation between size and angle is implied, since the lateral profiles are also steeper; it is hypothesized that transport mechanisms down the sides are different from those along the center of the cone. Readily observable cross-slope sorting, resulting in the development of longitudinal strips of fine and coarse debris, is explained in terms of differential mass movement mechanisms. It is concluded that the talus slopes studied are complex and influenced by a variety of processes in addition to primary deposition. The mapping of one talus cone at a five foot contour interval provided the basis for a detailed analysis of talus form. A sample of the debris size taken simultaneously with the mapping of the surface allowed for the calculation and establishment of a fourth degree trend surface, an examination of which is made in conjunction with the map and photos of the cone. Practical implications of the development of talus as applied to this region are discussed.

description: This paper releases and analyzes two new Huawei cloud serverless traces. The traces span a period of over 7 months with over 1.4 trillion function invocations combined. The first trace is derived from Huawei's internal workloads and contains detailed per-second statistics for 200 functions running across multiple Huawei cloud data centers. The second trace is a representative workload from Huawei's public FaaS platform. This trace contains per-minute arrival rates for over 5000 functions running in a single Huawei data center. We present the internals of a production FaaS platform by characterizing resource consumption, cold-start times, programming languages used, periodicity, per-second versus per-minute burstiness, correlations, and popularity. Our findings show that there is considerable diversity in how serverless functions behave: requests vary by up to 9 orders of magnitude across functions, with some functions executed over 1 billion times per day; scheduling time, execution time and cold-start distributions vary across 2 to 4 orders of magnitude and have very long tails; and function invocation counts demonstrate strong periodicity for many individual functions and on an aggregate level. Our analysis also highlights the need for further research in estimating resource reservations and time-series prediction to account for the huge diversity in how serverless functions behave.

Cosmological simulations of the growth of supermassive black holes and feedback from active galactic nuclei: method and tests

description: (Abridged) We present a method that tracks the growth of supermassive black holes (BHs) and the feedback from AGN in cosmological simulations. Our model is a substantially modified version of the one by Springel et al. (2005). Because cosmological simulations lack both the resolution and the physics to model the multiphase interstellar medium, they tend to strongly underestimate the Bondi-Hoyle accretion rate. To allow low-mass BHs to grow, it is therefore necessary to increase the predicted Bondi-Hoyle rates in dense gas by large, ad-hoc factors. We explore the physical regimes where the use of such factors is reasonable, and through this introduce a new prescription for gas accretion. Feedback from AGN is modeled by coupling a fraction of the rest-mass energy of the accreted gas thermally into the surrounding medium. We describe the implementation as well as the limitations of the model and motivate all the changes relative to previous work. We investigate the robustness of the predictions for the cosmic star formation history, the redshift zero cosmic BH density, BH scaling relations, and galaxy specific star formation rates. We find that the freedom introduced by the need to increase the predicted accretion rates, the standard procedure in the literature, is the most significant source of uncertainty. Our simulations demonstrate that supermassive BHs are able to regulate their growth by releasing a fixed amount of energy for a given halo mass, independent of the assumed efficiency of AGN feedback, which sets the normalization of the BH scaling relations. Regardless of whether BH seeds are initially placed above or below the BH scaling relations they grow onto the same relations. AGN feedback efficiently suppresses star formation in high-mass galaxies.

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2013

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: We study the chiral logarithms in $ΔS=1$ kaon decay amplitudes from new flavor physics in beyond-standard-model theories. We systematically classify the chiral structures of dimension-5, 6 and 7 effective QCD operators constructed out of light-quark (up, down and strange) and gluon fields. Using the standard chiral perturbation theory, we calculate the leading chiral-logarithms associated with these operators. The result is useful for lattice calculations of the QCD matrix elements in $K\to ππ$ decay necessary, for example, to understand the physical origin of the direct CP violation parameter $ε'$. As a concrete example, we consider the new operators present in minimal left-right symmetric models.
