description: Based on the analysis of the indices of RCA and TSC of agricultural products in China, according to China Statistical Yearbook, China Rural Statistical Yearbook and data from database of The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations from 1996 to 2009, We select direct influencing factors and indirect influencing factors as reference as series of numbers, regard indices of RCA and TSC as index series of numbers of evaluation, and use grey correlation analysis method to conduct analysis and evaluation on influencing factors of trade competitiveness of China’s agricultural products. The results show that due to different index calculation methods, the sequencing results of all factors are not wholly the same. But on the whole, in terms of transformation from cost advantage and price advantage into competition advantage, the ability of direct factors is strong, impacting significantly trade competitiveness of China’s agricultural products, while the influencing effect of indirect factors is relatively weak. On the basis of this, we put forward the suggestions in order to improve trade competitiveness of China’s agricultural products as follows: firstly, we should strengthen and perfect agricultural agriculture-support policy; secondly, we should promote foreign merchants’ direct investment level in agriculture; thirdly, we should deepen the processing ability of agricultural products and promote quality of agricultural products; fourthly, we should create good trade environment.

description: Latin America is becoming the fastest growing agricultural production region and Brazil has by far the fastest growing agricultural sector. China from being a small agricultural importer (1.4% of world imports in 1990/01), became the fifth largest importer at 5.4% of world imports in 2006/07. China's overall trade with Latin America has expanded substantially during the last two decades -the rate of growth has been greater than any other region in the world since 2005. Most exports from Latin America to China are primary products while Chinese exports to Latin America are mostly industrial products. The Chinese demand for agricultural products is concentrated in food products such as grains and oilseeds. Countries specialised in those commodities –eg. Brazil and Argentina- exhibit a strong orientation on the Chinese market. In turn, growing subsectors in China, like fruits and vegetables, are posing strong competition to some world supplier countries in Latin America such as Chile and Peru. Since China is promoting structural reforms of its agricultural sector, aimed at increasing productivity and improving food security, and is expanding their direct investments overseas to secure provision of raw materials, Latin American governments need to pursue long-run strategic public policies. They need to optimize trade results and promote production efficiency that on one hand contribute to take advantage of the current market situation but at the same time assure the protection of the natural resources and preserve the production capacity and the agricultural diversity.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Emotions play a critical role in our everyday lives by altering how we perceive, process and respond to our environment. Affective computing aims to instill in computers the ability to detect and act on the emotions of human actors. A core aspect of any affective computing system is the classification of a user's emotion. In this study we present a novel methodology for classifying emotion in a conversation. At the backbone of our proposed methodology is a pre-trained Language Model (LM), which is supplemented by a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) that propagates information over the predicate-argument structure identified in an utterance. We apply our proposed methodology on the IEMOCAP and Friends data sets, achieving state-of-the-art performance on the former and a higher accuracy on certain emotional labels on the latter. Furthermore, we examine the role context plays in our methodology by altering how much of the preceding conversation the model has access to when making a classification.

description: An interesting extension of the Standard Model is based on the electroweak gauge group SU(3)_L x U(1). It requires three generations to cancel anomalies, treats the third generation differently than the first two, and has a rich phenomenology. There are several models, distinguished by the embedding of the charge operator into the SU(3)_L group and by the choice of fermion representations. In this Brief Report, we consider flavor-changing neutral currents in these models, concentrating on the P-Pbar mass difference, where P=(K, D, B, B_s), as well as B --> K l^+ l^-, B --> mu^+ mu^- and B_s --> mu^+ mu^- decays. Although the P-Pbar mass difference has been considered previously in some models, the rare B decays are new. We find that the strongest bounds come from the B-Bbar and Bs-Bs-bar mass differences.

description: This study explores trends and perspectives of Lithuania’s trade in agricultural and food products with the BRIC countries. Agriculture is one of the priority sectors of Lithuania’s economy and plays an important economic and social role. The share of agricultural and food products within the overall foreign trade of Lithuania is significant, and exports to the BRIC countries account for nearly one third of the Lithuanian agricultural and food products exports. BRICs economic development and growing population leads to the increasing food consumption. The potential of these markets is attractive for Lithuania’s foreign trade. Therefore, consideration of trade flow in food and agricultural products between Lithuania and the BRIC countries is currently very topical. The econometric forecasting model of Lithuania’s Export and Import flows, created by the authors, was applied to predict trade with the BRIC countries in the medium-term period. The authors analyzed the structure of Lithuania’s trade in agricultural and food products with the specific BRIC countries, estimated influence of external and internal factors changes.

In particular we show that, under certain conditions, stochastically robust non-uniform expansion implies existence and continuous variation of physical measures.

description: OVID-19 is a world-wide disease that has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Computer Tomography (CT) imaging of the chest seems to be a valid diagnosis tool to detect COVID-19 promptly and to control the spread of the disease. Deep Learning has been extensively used in medical imaging and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been also used for classification of CT images. We propose a light CNN design based on the model of the SqueezeNet, for the efficient discrimination of COVID-19 CT images with other CT images (community-acquired pneumonia and/or healthy images). On the tested datasets, the proposed modified SqueezeNet CNN achieved 83.00\% of accuracy, 85.00\% of sensitivity, 81.00\% of specificity, 81.73\% of precision and 0.8333 of F1Score in a very efficient way (7.81 seconds medium-end laptot without GPU acceleration). Besides performance, the average classification time is very competitive with respect to more complex CNN designs, thus allowing its usability also on medium power computers. In the next future we aim at improving the performances of the method along two directions: 1) by increasing the training dataset (as soon as other CT images will be available); 2) by introducing an efficient pre-processing strategy.
Lifting systems of Galois representations associated to abelian varieties

description: This paper treats what we call `weak geometric liftings' of Galois representations associated to abelian varieties. This notion can be seen as a generalization of the idea of lifting a Galois representation along an isogeny of algebraic groups. The weaker notion only takes into account an isogeny of the derived groups and disregards the centres of the groups in question. The weakly lifted representations are required to be geometric in the sense of a conjecture of Fontaine and Mazur. The conjecture in question states that any irreducible geometric representation is a twist of a subquotient of an étale cohomology group of an algebraic variety over a number field. It is shown that a Galois representation associated to an abelian variety admits a weak geometric lift to a group with simply connected derived group. In certain cases, such a weak geometric lift is itself associated to an abelian variety. This means that the conjecture of Fontaine and Mazur is confirmed for these representations. In other cases, one may find a lift which can not be found back in the etale cohomology of any abelian variety. The Fontaine--Mazur conjecture remains open for these representations. Nevertheless, certain consequences of the conjecture can be established.

description: The objective of this paper is to identify the strategies and instruments that agribusiness companies currently use to cope with the globalisation of agricultural markets. This aim is achieved by means of presenting the empirical results of an online and telephone survey that was undertaken between April and August 2010 with the participation of 113 German agribusiness firms. The majority of respondents expect that the importance of the markets in the BRIC countries will increase remarkably in the future. For developing international business activities, comparatively simple strategies such as direct and indirect exports via domestic and international traders are most widely used. This may be the result of challenges the agribusiness companies are facing in the context of handling international markets, especially in BRIC countries.

description: By facilitating the generation of samples from arbitrary probability distributions, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is, arguably, \emph{the} tool for the evaluation of Bayesian inference problems that yield non-standard posterior distributions. In recent years, however, it has become apparent that Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers have the potential to outperform MCMC in a number of ways. SMC samplers are better suited to highly parallel computing architectures and also feature various tuning parameters that are not available to MCMC. One such parameter - the `L-kernel' - is a user-defined probability distribution that can be used to influence the efficiency of the sampler. In the current paper, the authors explain how to derive an expression for the L-kernel that minimises the variance of the estimates realised by an SMC sampler. Various approximation methods are then proposed to aid implementation of the proposed L-kernel. The improved performance of the resulting algorithm is demonstrated in multiple scenarios. For the examples shown in the current paper, the use of an approximately optimum L-kernel has reduced the variance of the SMC estimates by up to 99 % while also reducing the number of times that resampling was required by between 65 % and 70 %. Python code and code tests accompanying this manuscript are available through the Github repository \url{https://github.com/plgreenLIRU/SMC_approx_optL}.

description: Federated learning (FL) refers to the learning paradigm that trains machine learning models directly in the decentralized systems consisting of smart edge devices without transmitting the raw data, which avoids the heavy communication costs and privacy concerns. Given the typical heterogeneous data distributions in such situations, the popular FL algorithm \emph{Federated Averaging} (FedAvg) suffers from weight divergence and thus cannot achieve a competitive performance for the global model (denoted as the \emph{initial performance} in FL) compared to centralized methods. In this paper, we propose the local continual training strategy to address this problem. Importance weights are evaluated on a small proxy dataset on the central server and then used to constrain the local training. With this additional term, we alleviate the weight divergence and continually integrate the knowledge on different local clients into the global model, which ensures a better generalization ability. Experiments on various FL settings demonstrate that our method significantly improves the initial performance of federated models with few extra communication costs.

For columbids, the coracoid and tarsometatarsus are the most diagnostic elements (Worthy, 2012; Worthy et al., 2015; Rigal et al., 2018) and, fortunately, are well represented in these samples. Diagnostic characters for columbid bones are presented at length by Rigal et al. (2018), Worthy (2012), Worthy & Wragg (2003, 2008, Wragg & Worthy (2006), Worthy et al. (2015).

description: In this talk I will introduce new geometric models for both molecules and molecular conformational spaces. I will show that these models allow us to define a symmetry group associated to a molecule that, in some sense, generalises the so-called complete nuclear permutation inversion group. I will also present the results of a systematic analysis on the conformational spaces of molecules and their energy landscapes using topological data analysis (TDA). These results will show that TDA provides the chemistry community with efficient methods to study the mathematical structures underlying the molecular conformational spaces and their energy landscapes.

description: We obtain the electromagnetic form factors of the $γNΔ$ transition by analyzing recent pion-electroproduction data using a fully relativistic dynamical model. Special care is taken to satisfy Ward-Takahashi identities for the Born term in the presence of form factors thereby allowing the use of realistic electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon and pion. We parametrize the $Q^2$ dependence of the {\it bare} $γN Δ$ form factors by a three-parameter form which is consistent with the asymptotic behavior inferred from QCD. The parameters of the bare $γN Δ$ form factors are the only free parameters of the model and are fitted to the differential cross-section and multipole-analysis data up to $Q^2=4$ (GeV/c)$^2$ in the $Δ(1232)$-resonance region. This analysis emphasizes the significance of the pion-cloud effects in the extraction of the resonance parameters.

description: We present high quality long-slit spectra for three nearby powerful radio galaxies 3C293, 3C305, PKS1345+12. These were taken with the aim of characterising the young stellar populations (YSP), and thereby investigating the evolution of the host galaxies, as well as the events that triggered the activity. Isochrone spectral synthesis modelling of the wide wavelength coverage spectra of nuclear and off-nuclear continuum-emitting regions have been used to estimate the ages, masses and luminosities of the YSP component, taking full account of reddening effects and potential contamination by activity-related components. We find that the YSP make a substantial contribution to the continuum flux in the off-nuclear regions on a radial scale of 1 - 20kpc in all three objects. Moreover, in two objects we find evidence for reddened post-starburst stellar populations in the near-nuclear regions of the host galaxies. The YSP are relatively old (0.1- 2Gyr), massive and make up a large proportion (~1 - 50%) of the total stellar mass in the regions of galaxies sampled by the observations. Overall, these results are consistent with the idea that AGN activity in some radio galaxies is triggered by major gas-rich mergers. Therefore, these radio galaxies form part of the subset of early-type galaxies that is evolving most rapidly in the local universe. Intriguingly, the results also suggest that the radio jets are triggered relatively late in the merger sequence, and that there is an evolutionary link between radio galaxies and luminous/ultra-luminous infrared galaxies.

description: Comets spend most of their lives at large distances from any star, during which time their interior compositions remain relatively unaltered. Cometary observations can therefore provide direct insight into the chemistry that occurred during their birth at the time of planet formation. To-date, there have been no confirmed observations of parent volatiles (gases released directly from the nucleus) of a comet from any planetary system other than our own. Here we present high-resolution, interferometric observations of 2I/Borisov, the first confirmed interstellar comet, obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) on 15th-16th December 2019. Our observations reveal emission from hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and carbon monoxide (CO), coincident with the expected position of 2I/Borisov's nucleus, with production rates Q(HCN)=$(7.0\pm1.1)\times10^{23}$ s$^{-1}$ and Q(CO)=$(4.4\pm0.7)\times10^{26}$ s$^{-1}$. While the HCN abundance relative to water (0.06-0.16%) appears similar to that of typical, previously observed comets in our Solar System, the abundance of CO (35-105%) is among the highest observed in any comet within 2 au of the Sun. This shows that 2I/Borisov must have formed in a relatively CO-rich environment - probably beyond the CO ice-line in the very cold, outer regions of a distant protoplanetary accretion disk, as part of a population of small, icy bodies analogous to our Solar System's own proto-Kuiper Belt.

description: GENUS ALOPECOENAS SHARPE, 1899
Remarks: Recent molecular analyses have revealed that the ground dove genus Gallicolumba, sensu Dickinson (2003), was paraphyletic (Jønsson et al., 2011; Moyle et al., 2013); therefore, it has been separated into Gallicolumba for the bleeding-hearted doves and relatives and Alopecoenas for the ground doves, including all those east of Papua New Guinea (Dickinson & Remsen, 2013). Alopecoenas stairi (Gray, 1856) is the only extant species of the genus found in the Fiji – Samoa – Tonga region (Dickinson & Remsen, 2013). The following specimens were compared with bones of this species from Fiji (NMNZ S38223). Diagnostic features for bones of this genus were given by Worthy & Wragg (2003, 2008 and Worthy et al. (2015).

description: Be/X-ray binaries are systems formed by a massive Be star and a magnetized neutron star, usually in an eccentric orbit. The Be star has strong equatorial winds occasionally forming a circumstellar disk. When the neutron star intersects the disk the accretion rate dramatically increases and a transient accretion disk can be formed around the compact object. This disk can last longer than a single orbit in the case of major outbursts. If the disk rotates faster than the neutron star, the Cheng-Ruderman mechanism can produce a current of relativistic protons that would impact onto the disk surface, producing gamma-rays from neutral pion decays and initiating electromagnetic cascades inside the disk. In this paper we present calculations of the evolution of the disk parameters during both major and minor X-ray events, and we discuss the generation of gamma-ray emission at different energies within a variety of models that include both screened and unscreened disks.

Charm-meson Triangle Singularity in ${e^+e^-}$ Annihilation into ${ D^{*0} \bar{D}^0 + γ}$

description: We calculate the cross section for $e^+ e^-$ annihilation into $D^{*0} \bar D^0 +γ$ at center-of-mass energies near the $D^{*0} \bar D^{*0}$ threshold under the assumption that $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm meson molecule. The Dalitz plot has a $\bar D^{*0}$ resonance band in the squared invariant mass $t$ of $\bar D^0 γ$. In the limit as the decay width of the $D^{*0}$ goes to 0, the Dalitz plot also has a narrow band in the squared invariant mass $u$ of $D^{*0} \bar D^0$ from a charm-meson triangle singularity. At the physical value of the $D^{*0}$ width, the narrow band reduces to a shoulder. Thus the triangle singularity cannot be observed directly as a peak in a differential cross section as a function of $u$. It may however be observed indirectly as a local minimum in the $t$ distribution for events with $u$ below the triangle singularity. The minimum is produced by the Schmid cancellation between triangle loop diagrams and a tree diagram. The observation of this minimum would support the identification of $X(3872)$ as a weakly bound charm meson molecule.

Infants’ use of prosodic and distributional cues in assigning grammatical class
Creators: name: McDonald, Sheila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Infants' ability to learn new words, particularly nouns, increases dramatically in the months following their first birthday. The current experiment asks whether English-learning infants use prosodic cues, distributional cues, or both when deciding which word in a sentence labels an object. Both prosodic and distributional cues to nouns are available in speech to infants. Previous studies show infants' sensitivity to these types of cues, but it is unclear whether infants make use of these cues when assigning grammatical class. In this study, 16-month-old infants were tested to see which word in a sentence they would treat as an object label. The words infants were tested with provided either prosodic cues (sentence-final position and stress), distributional cues (a word preceded by the), both types of cue, or neither cue. The results reveal that 16-month-old infants use both prosodic and distributional cues to learn object labels.
First-order ferromagnetic transitions of lanthanide local moments in divalent compounds: An itinerant electron positive feedback mechanism and Fermi surface topological change

description: Around discontinuous (first-order) magnetic phase transitions the strong caloric response of materials to the application of small fields is widely studied for the development of solid-state refrigeration. Typically strong magnetostructural coupling drives such transitions and the attendant substantial hysteresis dramatically reduces the cooling performance. In this context we describe a purely electronic mechanism which pilots a first-order paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition in divalent lanthanide compounds and which explains the giant non-hysteretic magnetocaloric effect recently discovered in a Eu$_2$In compound. There is positive feedback between the magnetism of itinerant valence electrons and the ferromagnetic ordering of local $f$-electron moments, which appears as a topological change to the Fermi surface. The origin of this electronic mechanism stems directly from Eu's divalency, which explains the absence of a similar discontinuous transition in Gd$_2$In.

description: Richard Walker of Manchester (b. 15/2/1893) was a gardener before signing up to the Manchester Regiment (108966). Though records show he was in Sherwood Forresters (295026) at some point. On 24/4/1918 he was reported missing. In July information came through to say that he was wounded.

Elizabeth Walker (nee McCormick) worked in a munitions factory (see photo where she is 2nd left on the back row).

Elizabeth’s brother William McCormick (1893 – 12/10/1933) was believed to have been gassed during the war.

William H K Edmonds was from Manchester and was a professional footballer. He’s left front in the photo. He was possibly in the RAF in Aug 1918.

description: This paper uses a payment card approach to reveal consumers‟ willingness to pay for green food in China. We first present a brief introduction of the payment card approach and introduce several methods to estimate the WTP with payment cards, which we subsequently use to estimate WTP values regarding green vegetables, green meat and green eggs in China. Our results indicate that consumers in big cities are willing to pay a higher premium for green food and that WTP values are relatively higher for more expensive food than for cheaper food. In addition, the ratios of premium to price range mainly between 25% and 50% and WTP values obtained from interval midpoint approach are relatively higher than those calculated by other approaches.
