description: The current marketing of agricultural products in general, and of bananas in particular, poses special problems for Eritrean farmers. Poor climatic conditions coupled with crude and inefficient agricultural technologies render agricultural output sub-optimal. The major production problems include shortage of capital and scarcity of land; shortage of farming materials; spoilage of bananas during harvesting due to inappropriate harvesting techniques and facilities and lack of technical know how. In addition, the main marketing problems comprise transport problems to stores; general storage problems; lack of information and spoilage during transport. Taking the above into account it should be noted that current trends towards the increased globalization of markets, trade liberalization, advances in information technology, consumer preferences and improved logistics means that the competitiveness of fruit industries in various regions and countries, as affected by the performance of their supply chains, is becoming increasingly important and will be even more important in the future. Cognisance should also be taken of the fact that much confusion exists regarding the exact meaning of the term competitiveness. Comparative advantage and competitiveness are related, but are often mistakenly exchanged for one another. Comparative advantage explains how trade benefits nations through more efficient use of their resource base when trade is totally unrestricted. Competitive advantage defines trade patterns as they exist in the real world, including all the barriers to free trade ignored by comparative advantage (Worley, 1996). Vitally important is to take cognizance of the fact that the establishment of a competitive supply chain is a prerequisite for an industry's competitiveness and success. Based on this analysis, this study proposes what should be done to achieve a workable SCM for the banana industry in Eritrea. In its broader sense, the proposed structure of the SCM involves the introduction of horizontal strategic alliances between existing banana producers and the marketing group and a vertical relationship along the supply chain. Given that bananas comprise a considerable portion of the international trade makes it significant to this study. Bananas are also symbolic of the wide range of injustices present in international trade today. The Lomé Convention, which placed certain Latin American banana exporting countries at a disadvantage, was the root cause of trade disputes, and the eventual replacement of this Convention will have an impact on the future banana export prospects of ACP countries. Eritrean producers, like those of other ACP countries, therefore have little time to adjust and become competitive against "dollar" bananas on the European market, which at this point enjoy a production cost and quality advantage.
Dopamine transporter knockdown by antisense oligonucleotides attenuates reinstatement of cocaine self-administration after extinction

description: Mice lacking the dopamine transporter (DAT) self-administer cocaine (Rocha et al., 1998). However, in DAT knockout mice a variety of compensatory changes may occur, including increased basal dopamine levels, decreased dopamine receptor number and behavioral hyperactivity. In the present cocaine self-administration study, we attempted to reduce these confounds by knocking down DAT expression in adult Long-Evans rats using phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotides targeting DAT mRNA. Animals were trained to self-administer a low-dose of cocaine (0.1 mg/infusion, FR2, TO30s) after which drug seeking was extinguished (50-110 hours) by substituting saline for cocaine. Next, half the rats were treated with DAT antisense (1 nmol/day for 6 days) bilaterally into the VTA using osmotic minipumps, and half the rats received a missense control sequence. On the sixth day of antisense/missense-administration, reinstatement of drug taking was assessed following one infusion of cocaine (0.1 mg/infusion) (priming). Drug taking was also assessed without priming on two subsequent days. DAT antisense resulted in a significant (42%) reduction in DAT binding in the nucleus accumbens, assessed using [3H]WIN 35,428. Rats treated with DAT antisense responded selectively on the drug-appropriate lever during the first session following extinction. However discriminant responding was completely disrupted by the second session and on the final trial, cocaine self-administration was significantly reduced. Drug taking in the missense group was comparable to pre-extinction levels. These data suggest that cocaine's interaction with DAT is a necessary component of its reinforcing properties.

description: This deliverable describes several aspects of the real-time streaming reference architecture of I-BiDaaS. The architecture is compatible with PMML, which enables rapid specification and development of new functionality. It also contains interconnection primitives between the batch and stream processing layers within I-BiDaaS, as well as a proper visualization front-end that allows the real-time display of analytics via auto-updated visual elements. Overall, I-BiDaaS provides the planning, design considerations, and best practices for implementing real-time streaming solutions. To demonstrate its capabilities, we provide a use-case that focus on the processing of Call-Center transcription logs. By processing this data at real-time, enterprises can create models for QoS prediction as well as derive insights into customer metrics and incidents.

description: The gas-phase CO abundance (relative to hydrogen) in protoplanetary disks decreases by up to 2 orders of magnitude from its ISM value ${\sim}10^{-4}$, even after accounting for freeze-out and photo-dissociation. Previous studies have shown that while local chemical processing of CO and the sequestration of CO ice on solids in the midplane can both contribute, neither of these processes appears capable of consistently reaching the observed depletion factors on the relevant timescale of $1{-}3\mathrm{~Myr}$. In this study, we model these processes simultaneously by including a compact chemical network (centered on carbon and oxygen) to 2D ($r+z$) simulations of the outer ($r>20\mathrm{~au}$) disk regions that include turbulent diffusion, pebble formation, and pebble dynamics. In general, we find that the CO/H$_2$ abundance is a complex function of time and location. Focusing on CO in the warm molecular layer, we find that only the most complete model (with chemistry and pebble evolution included) can reach depletion factors consistent with observations. In the absence of pressure traps, highly-efficient planetesimal formation, or high cosmic ray ionization rates, this model also predicts a resurgence of CO vapor interior to the CO snowline. We show the impact of physical and chemical processes on the elemental (C/O) and (C/H) ratios (in the gas and ice phases), discuss the use of CO as a disk mass tracer, and, finally, connect our predicted pebble ice compositions to those of pristine planetesimals as found in the Cold Classical Kuiper Belt and debris disks.

description: Trade policies form the main economic 'buffer' between one national economy and another, i.e. the general and specific elements of each nation's trade policy interact directly or indirectly with those of other nations in all economic transactions across international borders. A nation's trade policy involves specific actions to encourage and promote or discourage foreign trade through the legal, financial and institutional environment within which foreign transactions occur. This study evaluates the trade policy applicable to the beef and maize sub-sectors in South Africa. Issues that are investigated include whether trade policy provides more or less protection than needed, whether it creates more openness for trade and the revealed comparative advantage of beef and maize. According to the RCA and RCA# the beef sub-sector in South Africa shows a revealed comparative disadvantage for 17 out of the 22 years since 1980. The maize sub-sector, on the other hand, shows a revealed comparative advantage for 18 out of the 22 years since 1980. It appears as if both the beef and maize sub-sectors have adjusted favourably since the implementation of the Marrakesh Agreement and subsequent deregulation of the domestic market. Favourably in this context means that both sub-sectors appear to have discounted the changing trade and regulatory environments into their respective supply chains. It is however important to take note that the results do not show the real state of competitiveness that exists in these sub-sectors. The reason for this is that the RCA measures should not be used to make definite conclusions whether an industry, sector or sub-sector in a country is competitive nor whether it uses scare resources in an efficient manner. The RCA measures explain in more accurate ways, relative to a simple analysis of export trends, how a country features in the context of word trade. Hence, one possible application of RCA measures is to deduct the impact of changes in trade policies on an industry, sector or sub-sector. Cognisance should also be taken that the RCA measures fail to distinguish between a region's factor endowments. The study also shows that the ERP calculation is lower than the NRP for beef and higher for maize. This means that the protection for inputs is higher than that of the output in the case of the beef sub-sector and vice versa in case of the maize sub-sector. The results from the ERP calculations show that the beef sub-sector is taxed, whilst the maize sub-sector are subsidized. Furthermore, this study recommends the market niche should be exploited more. However it is necessary to give attention to: (i) Small scale farmers (ii) Increased efficiency and (iii) Considering issues such as food safety.

description: A dc magnetic study is reported on c-axis oriented epitaxial thin films of EuSr2Eu1.5Ce0.5Cu2O10 (Ru-1222) on (100) SrTiO3 wafers. Magnetic measurements on 200 and 500 nm thick films were performed with the magnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the wafer. We found that the films order magnetically at 180 K. The easy axis of the magnetization is in the basal plane and the Ru5+ ions are in their high-spin state, as deduced from the isothermal magnetization curves at low temperatures. The anisotropy ratio was found to be 7.5. The observed results are compared to data of the Ru-1222 ceramic material.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: In this study demand relations for primary oilseeds in South Africa is estimated and interpreted with the use of econometric models. Two different models, namely the Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) and the two-step Error Correction Model (ECM), were applied to annual oilseed data for the years 1971-2002. The F ratio test for separability failed to reject the null hypothesis of weak separability in most cases, indicating that sunflower seed, soybeans, groundnuts and cotton could be included in the same system and modeled together. The Hausman test for exogeneity was conducted and proved that the expenditure variable included in the estimated equations is indeed exogenous. The exogeneity of the expenditure variable provides assurance that the Restricted Seemingly Unrelated Regression (RSUR) method of estimation will provide efficient parameter estimates. Both the short run models are estimated in differenced form, from where the parameter estimates obtained were used to calculate compensated, uncompensated and expenditure elasticities of demand.

description: The property of isoscaling in nuclear fragmentation is studied using a simple bond percolation model with ``isospin'' added as an extra degree of freedom. It is shown analytically, first, that isoscaling is expected to exist in such a simple model with the only assumption of fair sampling with homogeneous probabilities. Second, numerical percolations of hundreds of thousands of grids of different sizes and with different $N$ to $Z$ ratios confirm this prediction with remarkable agreement. It is thus concluded that isoscaling emerges from the simple assumption of fair sampling with homogeneous probabilities, a requirement which, if put in the nomenclature of the minimum information theory, translates simply into the existence of equiprobable configurations in maximum entropy states.

description: While the importance of supernova feedback in galaxies is well established, its role on the scale of molecular clouds is still debated. In this work, we focus on the impact of supernovae on individual clouds, using a high-resolution magneto-hydrodynamic simulation of a region of 250 pc where we resolve the formation of individual massive stars. The supernova feedback is implemented with real supernovae that are the natural evolution of the resolved massive stars, so their position and timing are self-consistent. We select a large sample of molecular clouds from the simulation to investigate the supernova energy injection and the resulting properties of molecular clouds. We find that molecular clouds have a lifetime of a few dynamical times, less then half of them contract to the point of becoming gravitationally bound, and the dispersal time of bound clouds, of order one dynamical time, is a factor of two shorter than that of unbound clouds. We stress the importance of internal supernovae, that is massive stars that explode inside their parent cloud, in setting the cloud dispersal time, and their huge overdensity compared to models where the supernovae are randomly distributed. We also quantify the energy injection efficiency of supernovae as a function of supernova distance to the clouds. We conclude that intermittent driving by supernovae can maintain molecular-cloud turbulence and may be the main process of cloud dispersal. The role of supernovae in the evolution of molecular clouds cannot be fully accounted for without a self-consistent implementation of their feedback.

description: An overview of the oilseed industry locally and globally is provided, followed by measurements of the comparative and competitive advantages of the South African and Argentine oilseed industries. Three indexes are used to calculate the comparative and competitive advantages namely the Net Export Index (NXI), the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and the Relative Revealed Comparative Trade Advantage (RTA) index. According to the results South African groundnuts and sunflower seed have a competitive advantage in their primary form. Oilseeds to which value has been added have, in most cases, a competitive disadvantage, exactly the opposite to Argentina's oilseed products. The finding that South Africa is only competitive in the primary oilseed market, lead to the secondary oilseed industry. In the analysis it was found that the South African oilseed industry is price driven. Since price plays a large role in the competitiveness of the industry, imports of cheaper bottled refined oils are considered to pose a major threat.

description: We investigated a mechanism of rectification in di-block oligomer diode molecules that have recently been synthesized and showed a pronounced asymmetry in the measured I-V spectrum. The observed rectification effect is due to the resonant nature of electron transfer in the system and localization properties of bound state wave functions of resonant states of the tunneling electron interacting with asymmetric molecule in an electric field. The asymmetry of the tunneling wave function is enhanced or weakened depending on the polarity of applied bias. The conceptually new theoretical approach, the Green's function theory of sub-barrier scattering, is able to provide a physically transparent explanation of this rectification effect based on the concept of the bound state spectrum of a tunneling electron. The theory predicts the characteristic features of the I-V spectrum in qualitative agreement with experiment.

Creators: name: Ziegler, Moritz
Publisher: name: GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences
Year: 2018

description: The 3D geomechanical-numerical modelling of the in-situ stress state requires observed stress information at reference locations within the model area to be compared to the modelled stress state. This comparison of stress states and the ensuing adaptation of the displacement boundary conditions provide a best fit stress state in the entire model region that is based on the available stress information. This process is also referred to as calibration. Depending on the amount of available information and the complexity of the model the calibration is a lengthy process of trial-and-error modelling and analysis. The Fast Automatic Stress Tensor Calibration (FAST Calibration) is a method and a Matlab script that facilitates and speeds up the calibration process. The method requires only three model scenarios with different boundary conditions. The modelled stress states at the locations of the observed stress state are extracted. Then they are used to compute the displacement boundary conditions that are required in order to achieve the best fit of the modelled to the observed stress state. Furthermore, the influence of the individual observed stress information on the resulting stress state can be weighted.

description: In this paper, we extend the idea that the spectrum of Hawking radiation can reveal valuable information on a number of parameters that characterize a particular black hole background - such as the dimensionality of spacetime and the value of coupling constants - to gain information on another important aspect: the curvature of spacetime. We investigate the emission of Hawking radiation from a D-dimensional Schwarzschild-de-Sitter black hole emitted in the form of scalar fields, and employ both analytical and numerical techniques to calculate greybody factors and differential energy emission rates on the brane and in the bulk. The energy emission rate of the black hole is significantly enhanced in the high-energy regime with the number of spacelike dimensions. On the other hand, in the low-energy part of the spectrum, it is the cosmological constant that leaves a clear footprint, through a characteristic, constant emission rate of ultrasoft quanta determined by the values of black hole and cosmological horizons. Our results are applicable to "small" black holes arising in theories with an arbitrary number and size of extra dimensions, as well as to pure 4-dimensional primordial black holes, embedded in a de Sitter spacetime.

The charter and election law in Canada : towards a unified theory of judicial review?
Creators: name: Letkeman, Emily Susan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The advent of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms signaled a new and vastly expanded role for the judiciary. By entrenching our civil liberties into the Canadian Constitution, the courts were given the express authority to override inconsistent statutes. Due to the inherent overlap between law and politics, election law is an area that is particularly sensitive to this recent enlargement of judicial power. Despite this, the courts have scrutinized many areas of election law and many federal and provincial statutes have been fundamentally altered. The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the courts have developed a uniform theory of judicial review where election law is concerned via four case studies: electoral boundary redistribution, prisoner voting rights, the publication of opinion polls during campaigns and third party spending limits. Through an extensive review of the relevant case law and literature, I conclude that the courts have failed to develop a coherent and consistent theory judicial review regarding the application of the Charter to election law. My analysis reveals that the inconsistencies stem largely from three main sources: first is the failure of the courts to adopt a single vision of what constitutes a fair electoral system; second is that the case studies are dealing with two different sections of the Charter (ss. 2(b) and 3); and third is the Oakes test which has expanded judicial discretion along with the potential for disparity. If consistency is ever going to be achieved, the courts need to adopt a single vision of democracy in Canada. Until then, we are left to guess when our political rights may be justifiably restricted under the Charter.

We place upper limits on the product branching ratios for the isoscalar resonances f_0(1500) and f_0(1710) for the pi^0 pi^0 and eta-eta decay channels. We also set an upper limit on the Upsilon(1S) radiative decay into pi^0 eta.

Then the faulty transformer unit (series/exciting) of the ISPAR is located, or else the transient disturbance is identified. An event detector detects variation in differential currents and registers one-cycle of 3-phase post transient samples which are used to extract the time and time-frequency features for training seven classifiers. Three different sets of features - wavelet coefficients, time-domain features, and combination of time and wavelet energy - obtained from exhaustive search using Decision Tree, random forest feature selection, and maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy are used. The internal fault is detected with a balanced accuracy of 99.9%, the faulty unit is localized with balanced accuracy of 98.7% and the no-fault transients are classified with balanced accuracy of 99.5%. The results show potential for accurate internal fault detection and localization, and transient identification. The proposed scheme can supervise the operation of existing microprocessor-based differential relays resulting in higher stability and dependability. The ISPAR is modeled and the transients are simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC by varying several parameters.

Quantification of the differences between quenched and annealed averaging for RNA secondary structures

description: The analytical study of disordered system is usually difficult due to the necessity to perform a quenched average over the disorder. Thus, one may resort to the easier annealed ensemble as an approximation to the quenched system. In the study of RNA secondary structures, we explicitly quantify the deviation of this approximation from the quenched ensemble by looking at the correlations between neighboring bases. This quantified deviation then allows us to propose a constrained annealed ensemble which predicts physical quantities much closer to the results of the quenched ensemble without becoming technically intractable.

description: A causal Poisson bracket algebra for Liouville exponentials on a cylinder is derived using an exchange algebra for free fields describing the in and out asymptotics. The causal algebra involves an even number of space-time points with a minimum of four. A quantum realisation of the algebra is obtained which preserves causality and the local form of non-equal time brackets.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper is the second part of an introduction to linear logic and ludics, both due to Girard. It is devoted to proof nets, in the limited, yet central, framework of multiplicative linear logic and to ludics, which has been recently developped in an aim of further unveiling the fundamental interactive nature of computation and logic. We hope to offer a few computer science insights into this new theory.

Path Integral of the Holstein Model with a $ϕ^4$ on site potential

description: We derive the path integral of the semiclassical, one dimensional anharmonic Holstein model assuming that the electron motion takes place in a bath of non linear oscillators with quartic on site hard (and soft) potentials. The interplay between {\it e-ph} coupling and anharmonic force constant is analysed both in the adiabatic and antiadiabatic regime. In the latter we find much larger anharmonic features on the thermodynamic properties of low energy oscillators. Soft on site potentials generate attractive centres at large amplitude oscillator paths and contribute to the anomalous shape of the {\it heat capacity over temperature} ratio in the intermediate to low $T$ range. This anharmonic lattice effect is superimposed to the purely electronic contribution associated to a temperature dependent hopping with variable range inducing local disorder in the system.

Spontaneous Spin Polarization in Quantum Wires

description: A number of recent experiments report spin polarization in quantum wires in the absence of magnetic fields. These observations are in apparent contradiction with the Lieb-Mattis theorem, which forbids spontaneous spin polarization in one dimension. We show that sufficiently strong interactions between electrons induce deviations from the strictly one-dimensional geometry and indeed give rise to a ferromagnetic ground state in a certain range of electron densities.

More anomaly-free models of six-dimensional gauged supergravity
Creators: name: Suzuki, Ryo

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We construct a huge number of anomaly-free models of six-dimensional N = (1,0) gauged supergravity. The gauge groups are products of U(1) and SU(2), and every hyperino is charged under some of the gauge groups. It is also found that the potential may have flat directions when the R-symmetry is diagonally gauged together with another gauge group. In an appendix, we determine the contribution to the global SU(2) anomaly from symplectic Majorana Weyl fermions in six dimensions.

description: We analyze, within the wavelet theory framework, the wandering over a screen of the centroid of a laser beam after it has propagated through a time-changing laboratory-generated turbulence. Following a previous work (Fractals 12 (2004) 223) two quantifiers are used, the Hurst parameter, $H$, and the Normalized Total Wavelet Entropy, $\text{NTWS}$. The temporal evolution of both quantifiers, obtained from the laser spot data stream is studied and compared. This allows us to extract information of the stochastic process associated to the turbulence dynamics.

description: We describe a simple framework for teaching the principles that underlie the dynamical laws of transport: Fick's law of diffusion, Fourier's law of heat flow, the Newtonian viscosity law, and mass-action laws of chemical kinetics. In analogy with the way that the maximization of entropy over microstates leads to the Boltzmann law and predictions about equilibria, maximizing a quantity that E. T. Jaynes called "Caliber" over all the possible microtrajectories leads to these dynamical laws. The principle of Maximum Caliber also leads to dynamical distribution functions which characterize the relative probabilities of different microtrajectories. A great source of recent interest in statistical dynamics has resulted from a new generation of single-particle and single-molecule experiments which make it possible to observe dynamics one trajectory at a time.
