description: Policy decisions aimed at improving farm animal welfare involve balancing several competing objectives. Not only do such decisions involve tradeoffs between social, ethical, economic and welfare considerations, animal welfare itself is a multi-dimensional concept and some husbandry practices may satisfy some welfare needs but fail to satisfy others. Multi-criteria decision analysis is a decision theoretic tool that has been used to inform decision making in fields such as environmental policy, urban and regional planning, and biosecurity – all of which are characterised by competing goals and multiple stake-holders. This paper presents a preliminary multi-criteria framework for the analysis of animal welfare policies at the national level using indoor housing options for layer hens as an empirical example. Preliminary results are presented, but major emphasis is placed on highlighting the information needed to make such a framework both transparent and tractable.

description: We provide a detailed analysis of the recently proposed setup for a loophole-free test of Bell inequality using conditionally generated non-Gaussian states of light and balanced homodyning. In the proposed scheme, a two-mode squeezed vacuum state is de-gaussified by subtracting a single photon from each mode with the use of an unbalanced beam splitter and a standard low-efficiency single-photon detector. We thoroughly discuss the dependence of the achievable Bell violation on the various relevant experimental parameters such as the detector efficiencies, the electronic noise and the mixedness of the initial Gaussian state. We also consider several alternative schemes involving squeezed states, linear optical elements, conditional photon subtraction and homodyne detection.

description: A method of stochastic dominance analysis with respect to a function (SDRF) is described and illustrated. The method, called stochastic efficiency with respect to a function (SERF), orders a set of risky alternatives in terms of certainty equivalents for a specified range of attitudes to risk. It can be applied for conforming utility functions with risk attitudes defined by corresponding ranges of absolute, relative or partial risk aversion coefficients. Unlike conventional SDRF, SERF involves comparing each alternative with all the other alternatives simultaneously, not pairwise, and hence can produce a smaller efficient set than that found by simple pairwise SDRF over the same range of risk attitudes. Moreover, the method can be implemented in a simple spreadsheet with no special software needed.

description: We prove a uniform functional law of the logarithm for the local empirical process. To accomplish this we combine techniques from classical and abstract empirical process theory, Gaussian distributional approximation and probability on Banach spaces. The body of techniques we develop should prove useful to the study of the strong consistency of d-variate kernel-type nonparametric function estimators.

description: Among the large family of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), recently ReS2 has stood out due to its nearly layer-independent optoelectronic and physicochemical properties. These are related to its 1T distorted octahedral structure, which leads to strong in-plane anisotropy and the presence of active sites at its surface, which makes ReS2 interesting for applications such as gas sensors and catalysts for H2 production. However, the current fabrication methods for ReS2 use chemical or physical vapor deposition (CVD or PVD) processes that are costly and involve complex and lengthy fabrication procedures, therefore limiting their large-scale production and exploitation. To address this issue, we developed a colloidal synthesis approach, which allows the production of ReS2 to be attained at temperatures below 360 Celsius degrees and with reaction times < 2 h, resulting in a more cost-efficient strategy than the CVD and PVD methods. By combining the solution-based synthesis with surface functionalization strategies, we demonstrate the feasibility of colloidal ReS2 nanosheet films for gas sensing of different toxic gases, moisture and other volatile compounds with highly competitive performance in comparison with devices built with CVD-grown ReS2 and MoS2. In addition, the integration of the ReS2 nanosheet films in assemblies, in which they are deposited on top of networks of carbon nanotubes, allowed us to fabricate electrodes for electrocatalysis for H2 production in both acid and alkaline conditions. Results from proof-of-principle devices show an electrocatalytic overpotential that is competitive with devices based on ReS2 produced by CVD, and even with MoS2, WS2 and MoSe2 electrocatalysts.

Transverse flow-induced vibrations of a sphere in the proximity of a free surface: A numerical study

description: We present a numerical study on the transverse flow-induced vibration (FIV) of an elastically mounted sphere in the vicinity of a free surface at subcritical Reynolds numbers. To begin, We verify and analyze the mode transitions and the motion trajectories of a fully submerged sphere vibrating freely in all directions for the Reynolds number up to $30\,000$. Next, the response dynamics of a transversely vibrating sphere is studied for three values of normalized immersion ratio ($h^*=h/D$, where $h$ is the distance from the top of the sphere to undisturbed free-surface level and $D$ is the sphere diameter), at $h^*=1$ (fully submerged sphere with no free-surface effect), $h^*=0$ (where the top of the sphere touches the free surface) and $h^*=-0.25$ (where the sphere pierces the free surface). At the lock-in range, we observe that the amplitude response at $h^*=0$ is decreased significantly compared to the case at $h^*=1$. It is found that the vorticity flux is diffused due to the free-surface boundary and the free surface acts as a sink of energy that leads to a reduction in the transverse force and amplitude response. When the sphere pierces the free surface at $h^*=-0.25$, the amplitude response at the lock-in state is found to be greater than all the submerged cases studied with the maximum peak-to-peak amplitude of $\sim2D$. We find that the interaction of the piercing sphere with the air-water interface causes a relatively large surface deformation and has a significant impact on the synchronization of the vortex shedding and the vibration frequency. Increased streamwise vorticity gives rise to a relatively larger transverse force to the piercing sphere at $h^*=-0.25$, resulting in greater positive energy transfer per cycle to sustain the large-amplitude vibration. Lasty, we study the sensitivity of FIV response on the mass ratio, $m^*$, and Froude number, $Fr$, at the lock-in state.

description: We examine SU(3) constraints on the spectrum and decay widths of cryptoexotic nucleon-like states in antidecuplet of pentaquarks. We show that in the ideal mixing scenario the number of free matrix elements describing splittings reduces from 4 to 2. Model-independent sum rules are derived. Using as input $Θ^+$ and $Ξ_{3/2}$ masses we show that it is difficult to interpret Roper and $N^{\ast}(1710)$ nucleon resonances as cryptoexotic pentaquarks. Large $N_c$ limit for antidecuplet and accompanying octet in the diqaurk picture and the analogy with the soliton model is also discussed.

Augmentation preconditioning for saddle point systems arising from interior point methods
Creators: name: Rees, Tim
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: We investigate a preconditioning technique applied to the problem of solving linear systems arising from primal-dual interior point algorithms in linear and quadratic programming. The preconditioner has the attractive property of improved eigenvalue clustering with increased ill-conditioning of the (1,1) block of the saddle point matrix. We demonstrate performance of the preconditioner on problems from the NETLIB and CUTEr test suites. The numerical experiments include results based on inexact inner iterations, and comparisons of the proposed techniques with constraint preconditioners. Approximations to the preconditioner are considered for systems with simple (1,1) blocks. The preconditioning approach is also extended to deal with stabilized systems. We show that for stabilized saddle point systems a minimum residual Krylov method will converge in just two iterations.

This calls for new and more secure cryptosystems to take their place. This paper outlines a new cryptosystem based on the dragon curve fractal. The security level of this scheme is based on multiple private keys, that are crucial for effective encryption and decryption of data. This paper discusses, how core concepts emerging from fractal geometry can be used as a trapdoor function for this cryptosystem.

Three facts about marijuana prices

Subjects: Crop Production/Industries

description: Australians are among the largest consumers of marijuana in the world, and estimates show that their expenditure on marijuana is approximately twice that on wine. In the present paper, the evolution of Australian marijuana prices over the last decade is analysed, and a decline in real terms by almost 40 per cent is shown. This decline is far above that experienced by most agricultural products. Why has this occurred and what are the implications? One possible reason is the adoption of hydroponic growing techniques that have enhanced productivity and lowered costs and prices. Another reason is that laws have become softer and penalties reduced. Patterns in prices are found that divide the country into three broad regions: (i) Sydney, where prices are highest; (ii) Melbourne and Canberra, which have somewhat lower prices; and (iii) everywhere else, where marijuana is cheapest. An exploratory analysis indicates the extent to which the price declines have stimulated marijuana consumption and inhibited the consumption of a substitute product, alcohol.

description: We determine the mass dependent renormalization as well as improvement coefficients for the heavy-light vector and axial-vector currents consisting of the relativistic heavy and the domain-wall light quarks through the standard matching procedure. The calculation is carried out perturbatively at the one loop level to remove the systematic error of $O(α_s (am_Q)^n a\p)$ as well as $O(α_s (am_Q)^n)$ ($n\ge$0), where $\p$ is a typical momentum scale in the heavy-light system. We point out that renormalization and improvement coefficients of the heavy-light vector current agree with those of the axial-vector current, thanks to the exact chiral symmetry for the light quark. The results obtained with three different gauge actions, plaquette, Iwasaki and DBW2, are presented as a function of heavy quark mass and domain-wall height.

description: As private plant breeding replaces public programs, the efficient provision and utilisation of key enabling technologies for crop breeding, which are largely knowledge based and provide the foundation for variety improvement, might be at risk. Typically, such inputs are non‐rival in use and are therefore termed essential plant breeding infrastructure (EPBI). Specific threats include the possibility of wasteful duplication in production, under‐production, under‐utilisation of produced EPBI because of price rationing, and anticompetitive outcomes in plant breeding and downstream markets. The likely level of under‐investment in hypothetical molecular‐marker technology by a profit‐maximising monopoly producer, charging uniform prices for access, is analysed using results from the published literature on excludable public goods.

Productivity Analysis

description: The published empirical literature on frontier production functions is dominated by two broadly defined estimation approaches – parametric and non‐parametric. Using panel data on Korean rice production, parametric and non‐parametric production frontiers are estimated and compared with estimated productivity. The non‐parametric approach employs two alternative measures based on the Malmquist index and the Luenberger indicator, while the parametric approach is closely related to the time‐variant efficiency model. Productivity measures differ considerably between these approaches. It is discovered that measures of efficiency change are more sensitive to the choice of the model than are measures of technical change. Both approaches reveal that the main sources of growth in Korean rice farming have been technical change and productivity improvements in regions of the country that have been associated with low efficiency.

description: The fabrication of electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) with high areal capacitance relies on the use of elevated mass loadings of highly porous active materials. Herein, we demonstrate a high-throughput manufacturing of graphene/nanotubes hybrid EDLCs. Wet-jet milling (WJM) method is exploited to exfoliate the graphite into single/few-layer graphene flakes (WJM-G) in industrial volume (production rate ~0.5 kg/day). Commercial single/double walled carbon nanotubes (SDWCNTs) are mixed with graphene flakes in order to act as spacers between the graphene flakes during their film formation. The latter is obtained by one-step vacuum filtration, resulting in self-standing, metal- and binder-free flexible EDLC electrodes with high active material mass loadings up to 30 mg cm-2. The corresponding symmetric WJM-G/SDWCNTs EDLCs exhibit electrode energy densities of 539 uWh cm-2 at 1.3 mW cm-2 and operating power densities up to 532 mW cm-2 (outperforming most of the EDLC technologies). The EDCLs show excellent cycling stability and outstanding flexibility even under highly folded states (up to 180 degrees). The combination of industrial-like production of active materials, simplified manufacturing of EDLC electrodes, and ultrahigh areal performance of the as-produced EDLCs are promising for novel advanced EDLC designs.

description: A data envelopment analysis of a sample of 76 Nepalese rice farmers reveals average relative economic, allocative, technical, pure technical and scale inefficiencies as 34, 13, 24, 18 and 7 per cent, respectively. The significant variations in the level of inefficiency across sample farms are attributed to the variations in the ‘use intensities’ of resources such as seed, labour, fertilisers and mechanical power. In addition, a second stage Tobit regression shows the variation is also related to farm‐specific attributes such as the farmers’ level of risk attitude, the farm manager's gender, age, education and family labour endowment. Based on the empirical findings, policy implications and development strategies for improving efficiency of Nepalese rice farms are briefly discussed.

description: Surrogate models for partial-differential equations are widely used in the design of meta-materials to rapidly evaluate the behavior of composable components. However, the training cost of accurate surrogates by machine learning can rapidly increase with the number of variables. For photonic-device models, we find that this training becomes especially challenging as design regions grow larger than the optical wavelength. We present an active learning algorithm that reduces the number of training points by more than an order of magnitude for a neural-network surrogate model of optical-surface components compared to random samples. Results show that the surrogate evaluation is over two orders of magnitude faster than a direct solve, and we demonstrate how this can be exploited to accelerate large-scale engineering optimization.

description: In this note we prove two results on the quantitative illumination parameter f(d) of the unit ball of a d-dimensional normed space introduced by K. Bezdek (1992). The first is that f(d) = O(2^d d^2 log d). The second involves Steiner minimal trees. Let v(d) be the maximum degree of a vertex, and s(d) of a Steiner point, in a Steiner minimal tree in a d-dimensional normed space, where both maxima are over all norms. F. Morgan (1992) conjectured that s(d) <= 2^d, and D. Cieslik (1990) conjectured v(d) <= 2(2^d-1). We prove that s(d) <= v(d) <= f(d) which, combined with the above estimate of f(d), improves the previously best known upper bound v(d) < 3^d.

Diagnosis (amended): The monophyly is assured by the molecularly based analyses of Glenner & Hebsgaard (2006) and Pérez-Losada et al. (2008). In addition, the following morphology-based apomorphies apply. All stages, including the nauplii and cyprids, lack any trace of an alimentary canal. The cyprids carry an aesthetasc seta and four additional setae on the fourth antennular segment. The male cyprids also carry a similar, but longer aesthetasc proximally on the third antennular segment. These are all parasites on Crustacea with a life cycle involving an initial and completely internal phase. This starts as a stage featuring an epitheliumenveloped bladder (primordium) containing a small lump of cells (nucleus) that represent the prospective visceral sac with the ovary. The adult parasite consists of an internal ramifying and nutrient-absorbing root system and an external sac (externa) housing the reproductive organs. All parasitic stages are without any segmentation or appendages.
Remarks: The morphological diagnosis is derived from Glenner & Høeg (1994) and Høeg & Rybakov (1992). The setation pattern of the antennules is subject to modification and loss within the order (Høeg & Rybakov, 1996a). A detailed account of the biology and morphology is given by Høeg (1995), Høeg & Lützen (1995) and Høeg et al. (2005). Larval morphology and development are treated by Høeg (1985, 1987, 1990, 1992), Martin et al. (2014), Glenner et al. (1989, 2010) and Glenner (2001). The existing general taxonomy is treated by Høeg & Lützen (1985, 1996), Høeg & Rybakov (1992), Øksnebjerg (2000) and Høeg et al. (2019).

description: With reference to the broad and narrow Fano-Feshbach resonances of 6Li at about 822 G and 543 G, we show that for the broad resonance a molecular coupled-channel calculation can be mapped with excellent accuracy onto an effective single-channel problem with a contact interaction. This occurs for a wide enough range of the magnetic field, that the full BCS-BEC crossover can be realized with a typical trap. For the narrow resonance, the mapping onto a single-channel problem and the realization of the BCS-BEC crossover are restricted to too narrow a range of the magnetic field to obtain them in practice. In this way, the BCS-BEC crossover for Fermi atoms with the broad resonance is placed on the same footing as the corresponding crossover for different physical systems.

description: Modern astronomy has been rapidly increasing our ability to see deeper into the universe, acquiring enormous samples of cosmic populations. Gaining astrophysical insights from these datasets requires a wide range of sophisticated statistical and machine learning methods. Long-standing problems in cosmology include characterization of galaxy clustering and estimation of galaxy distances from photometric colors. Bayesian inference, central to linking astronomical data to nonlinear astrophysical models, addresses problems in solar physics, properties of star clusters, and exoplanet systems. Likelihood-free methods are growing in importance. Detection of faint signals in complicated noise is needed to find periodic behaviors in stars and detect explosive gravitational wave events. Open issues concern treatment of heteroscedastic measurement errors and understanding probability distributions characterizing astrophysical systems. The field of astrostatistics needs increased collaboration with statisticians in the design and analysis stages of research projects, and to jointly develop new statistical methodologies. Together, they will draw more astrophysical insights into astronomical populations and the cosmos itself.

description: The Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004 eliminated tobacco quotas and tobacco price supports and allowed producers to plant any amount or type of tobacco regardless of geographic location. The authors found that flue-cured tobacco producers made greater adjustments to their operations after the buyout than did burley tobacco producers. Flue-cured tobacco producers were more likely to increase tobacco acres per farm, pushing up the tobacco acreage per farm at a faster rate compared with burley tobacco producers. Flue-cured producers also were more likely to invest in their tobacco enterprises and invested more per farm after 2004. As a result of increased acreage, tobacco operations became more sensitive to changes in labor costs. With over 75 percent of tobacco farms using hired or contract labor in 2008, the availability and cost of workers have become increasingly important to tobacco producers. This report is based on data collected from the tobacco version of the 2008 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), which focused on U.S. producers of burley and flue-cure tobacco in 2008 and how their tobacco operations have changed since 2000 and 2004.

description: FAIRsFAIR - Fostering FAIR Data Practices in Europe - was a project that ran between March 2019 and February 2022. It involved 22 partners from 8 EU member states with 6 core partners (DANS, CSC, DCC, TrustIT, STFC, EUA). The project was designed to supply practical solutions for the use of FAIR data principles throughout the research data lifecycle. The work on the project was guided by commitments to openness, FAIR-ness and long-term sustainability of project outputs. This report describes the sustainability planning for 21 project outputs deemed of particular importance, both to EOSC and to the global research community. These outputs were categorized using the Horizon 2020 categories of Key Exploitable Resource, Key Output and Key Function. These outputs were highly diverse and ranged from frameworks and written reports to practical FAIR tools and stakeholder networks.

Compositionality of handlers on intermediate servers in a web service architecture
Creators: name: Forghanizadeh, Sara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research addresses the problem of inter-operability among different components in a Web service architecture on the Internet. "Message Handlers" are pieces of code that intercept the message between clients and services in order to create/modify different pieces of the message, or to perform a processing task. For several reasons, such as management, reusability, optimization, routing, providing value-added services and transformations, it might be desirable to have chains of handlers on intermediate servers on the path between the client and the server; however, automatic selection of the set of handlers to be executed and their order of execution is still a problem. We try to solve this problem based on the type of the messages that are sent by the clients and the expected server input type. We leverage two algorithms based on formal language theory in order to solve the handler composition problem. Our case studies show how our approach could help in solving the problem of schema migration and version incompatibility in a large system such as eBay.

description: We have studied the evolution of the massless scalar field propagating in time-dependent charged Vaidya black hole background. A generalized tortoise coordinate transformation were used to study the evolution of the massless scalar field. It is shown that, for the slowest damped quasinormal modes, the approximate formulae in stationary Reissner-Nordström black hole turn out to be a reasonable prescription, showing that results from quasinormal mode analysis are rather robust.

Polyascus

description: POLYASCUS GLENNER, LÜTZEN & TAKAHASHI, 2003
Type species: Polyascus polygeneus (Lützen & Takahashi, 1997).
Diagnosis (amended): By the molecular data. Externa morphology as for the family, but with obligatory multiple (colonial) externae that are replaced in successive generations
Species: Polyascus gregarius (Okada & Miyashita, 1935), Polyascus planus (Boschma, 1933) and Polyascus polygeneus (Lützen & Takahashi, 1997).
Remarks: The diagnosis is amended from Glenner et al. (2003) by specifying also the obligatory presence of multiple externae, which separates it from the new genus Parasacculina defined below.

Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: The present paper reviews activity in environmental valuation by examining trends in publication rates over the past three decades. It also provides an overview of the demand for environmental valuation by academic markets and by policy markets. The results of this historical analysis suggest that there is not as much use of environmental valuation in policy analysis as could be expected given the academic efforts on this topic. The paper also provides an overview of the future directions that environmental valuation research is likely to take given current research efforts.
Interacciones en la relación ciudad-paisaje, hacia una habitabilidad sostenible

description: La insostenibilidad de la vida en ciudades latinoamericanas y la crisis de la salud del planeta, agravada por la pérdida de biodiversidad, requieren una visión renovada, inspirada en el pensamiento ancestral de Abya Yala, donde cuerpo-casa-territorio-cosmos, como unidad vital, posibilite resolver los problemas de habitabilidad y convivencia, mediante acciones que integren conectividades y tecnologías adaptativas para que ciudades y regiones se conviertan en centros vitales de aprendizaje colaborativo, donde el bienestar esté íntimamente ligado a la naturaleza. ¿Cómo propiciar formas de crecimiento sostenibles en la relación ciudad-paisaje, que consideren el flujo de la naturaleza y la cultura en ecologías ambientales y digitales integradas?. El reconocimiento de la diversidad biocultural como patrimonio es un gesto de afirmación en relación con la alteridad (lugares, especies, personas, tecnologías) y una aproximación espacio-temporal, que implica conocimientos abiertos y holísticos asociados, propios de estas interacciones.

Abstract

 

The unsustainability of life in Latin American cities and the planet's health crisis, aggravated by the loss of biodiversity, requires a renewed vision, inspired by the ancestral thought of Abya Yala, where body-house-territory-cosmos, as a vital unit , make it possible to solve the problems of habitability and coexistence, through actions that integrate connectivity and adaptive technologies so that cities and regions become vital centers of collaborative learning, where well-being is intimately linked to nature. How to promote sustainable forms of growth in the city-landscape relationship, which consider the flow of nature and culture in integrated environmental and digital ecologies? The recognition of biocultural diversity as heritage is a gesture of affirmation in relation to otherness (places, species, people, technologies) and a spatio-temporal approach, which implies open and holistic associated knowledge, typical of these interactions.

Type species: Clistosaccus paguri Lilljeborg, 1861.
Diagnosis (amended): By molecular data. Morphology-based apomorphies are a cypris larvae with the fourth antennular segment carrying only a single bifurcate seta situated at the apex. A reduced, near-identical pattern of setation on the cypris carapace is depicted by Jensen et al. (1994) and not found elsewhere in rhizocephalans. The second pair of lattice organs (LO 2) in the cyprids is shaped like a hairpin, another morphology unknown elsewhere in rhizocephalans.

description: The Aloe Vera industry in Tamaulipas operates as an oligopsony with frequent oversupply problems for the small producers. This situation leads to evaluate new business opportunities, such as transformation and sale of Aloe Vera final products in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, N.L. Since knowing the client's profile facilitates the design of more effective market strategies for the companies, it was carried out a study to determine the variables associated with bought product quantity by the families, and define the Aloe Vera products consumer's profile in Monterrey. The study researched on possible differences among the consumer and not consumers groups of Aloe Vera products, and it settled down as hypothesis that consumer characteristics of Aloe Vera products are related with the consumption levels of this type of products. Data were obtained of a sample of 40 selected elements in a random way. The instrument to obtain the information was a questionnaire applied by means of an interview to people that walked in Andador Morelos. The considered variables were: Purchase of Aloe Vera products, bought quantity and purchase value; besides variables to build the consumer's profile: Sex, marital status, schooling grade, occupation, ownership to a family, number of members, family role, type and level of household income. The data analysis was carried out with the SPSS statistical package using the Contingency Table (X2) (Barnard´s Test) for the case of the qualitative variables and the test of two independent populational means (t-Student test) for the quantitative variables. A correlation analysis was also made in order to identify the relationship of the variables with the consumption and purchase of Aloe Vera products. Results of Contingency Table (AC) (X2) showed that the qualitative variables with significantly higher level in the test (higher than 0.1) they were the variable sex, ownership to a family and occupation. On the other hand the t-Student test showed the existence of significant differences among the analyzed groups for the variable known products and the interviewees' age. Finally, the profile was built with the variables statistically significant.
