 Coccobius wuyiensis resembles Coccobius aligarhensis (Hayat), but differs from the latter in having the scape basally dark brown, pedicel weakly darkish; vertex, mid lobe of mesoscutum and scutellum dark brown; metasomal terga laterally with noncontinuous dark brown areas. In C. aligarhensis the antenna is pale yellow, except the scape basally brown; the mid lobe of the mesoscutum and scutellum are not completely dark brown; the metasoma is pale with a longitudinal brown band on each side extending from the base to the cercal plates.

title: Improving the Spatial Resolution of the Contour Method
Creators: name: Naveed, Nida
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: The contour method involves precise cutting of a body into two halves and provides a measured cross-sectional map of the residual stress acting normal to the cut surface. The method is being increasingly used to measure the residual stress field in critical engineering components that have high structural integrity requirements. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to improve the precision and accuracy of the method. The results of the method are critically affected by the cutting process, the deformation contour measurement accuracy and the data analysis procedure. The aim of the present thesis is to improve the reliability and accuracy of contour residual stress measurements by minimising errors and uncertainties that can be introduced during the cutting and data analysis steps of the technique. The first part of this thesis covers the design of a test specimen to benchmark the quality of cutting for contour method measurement. The design allows sequential trial cuts on a nominally stress-free specimen. Two different materials have been tested: a high yield strength mild steel (EN3B) and an austenitic stainless steel (304L). An accompanying characterisation record sheet for each trial cut has been devised to quantify the cut surface quality and features. The most important parameters that can be used to demonstrate the quality of the contour cut have also been identified in order to help optimise the cutting process. The second part of the thesis covers an investigation of important parameters that are used for contour stress measurements including surface deformation data collection spacing, deformation data smoothing and finite element mesh size. A simple approach for choosing initial parameters is developed based on an idealised cosine displacement function (giving a self-equilibrated one-dimensional residual stress profile). Guidelines are proposed to help the measurer select the most suitable choice of these parameters based on the estimated wavelength of the residual stress field. The outcomes of this research have successfully been applied to improve the spatial resolution and detailed characterisation of the residual stress field in three welded components.

description: This paper analyzes the effect of trade preferences granted to morocco by the European union on monthly exports of four fruits and vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges and mandarines. We rely on a gravity framework and we take into account the potential endogeneity of trade preferences. We consider sectoral and monthly variability of the reduced entry price and the preferential tariffs. Quantitative limits for these preferences are also accounted for. our results show that trade preferences are significant in determining positively the trade flows from morocco to the Eu (empirical evidence in line of trade creation); and that preferential tariffs decrease exports from the rest of the world to the European union (empirical evidence in line of trade diversion). These results could have implications in negotiations for eventual revisions of the Euro-mediterranean Agreements. This paper also makes a methodological contribution when studying whether trade preferences divert trade. Specifically, we take into account the exports of the rest of the world of specific products to the Eu as the dependent variable in the gravity equation, while preferences granted to morocco in these products are included in the right-hand-side of the equation.

description: This paper provides an overview about the use of geographical indications (GI) of agri-food products in mexico. First analyzes the use of indications of source (IS), used informally, without registration or official recognition and whose regulation is part of the labeling. Later analyzes the use of IG by registration of distinctive signs, whether as designations of origin (do) or as collective marks (mC) with geographic content. The methodology consisted of document review and interviews with small companies selected in two national fairs that seek to valorization of regional products. The results show that has been little progress on the use of the protection about registration of IG. While it is true that mexican law provides a regulatory framework for its use, adapt to compliance of the standards set to the formal record of IG involves rigidity and high institutional costs. In this context, producers who cannot absorb the costs and organizational levels required for formal protection, basically use the IS, without the vision of reaching the registration of GI. However, GIs have potential if they are adopted as a component of a strategic intervention on several fronts.

description: Significant amount of profit can be generated in forcing technologies by the efficient use of different elements in growing technologies, however, improving production intensity is on the agenda in the sector. Pepper forcing, as the most significant class of vegetable forcing, practically takes place under all the growing equipment widespread in our country, but there is a considerable difference in context of profitability and efficiency. This paper wonders whether the most intensive technology in pepper forcing is efficient regarding the use of forcing equipment, namely modern greenhouses, or growing under greenhouses with significantly lower investment cost is more efficient. The analysis represents cost-income factors and efficiency assessed on a long-term basis of different technologies via a deterministic model based on producers’ data collections. As a result of the research, economic indicators are calculated based on exact results which will help to conduct a comparative assessment of economic features in technological varieties.

description: Food system sustainability is of great importance for ecological, environmental, and health issues. However, it has not been fully addressed in campus planning at UBC. After reviewing the current University Town planning documents, we identified some opportunities and constraints for developing a sustainable food system on campus. With eco-village design concepts in mind, we focus on the University Boulevard Neighbourhood to propose a strategy for developing food system sustainability, with specific attention to food-related businesses. Our strategy is two dimensional, aiming first, to incorporate sustainable food system values into the decision-making process for retail leasing in the UBN, and second to maintain a long-term commitment to this goal among retailers. To further our ultimate goal of creating and maintaining a sustainable food system on the whole UBC campus, we also provide some recommendations for future action for various UBC FSP partners.

description: We demonstrate spectrally-tunable Fabry-Perot bandpass filters operating across the MWIR by utilizing the phase-change material GeSbTe (GST) as a tunable cavity medium between two (Ge:Si) distributed Bragg reflectors. The induced refractive index modulation of GST increases the cavity's optical path length, red-shifting the passband. Our filters have spectral-tunability of ~300 nm, transmission efficiencies of 60-75% and narrowband FWHMs of 50-65 nm (Q-factor ~70-90). We further show multispectral thermal imaging and gas sensing. By matching the filter's initial passband to a CO$_{2}$ vibrational-absorption mode (~4.25 $μ$m), tunable atmospheric CO$_{2}$ sensing and dynamic plume visualization of added CO$_{2}$ is realized.

title: Reading Strategies in the Nepalese School Leaving Exam: Establishing Construct Validity
Creators: name: Dawadi, Saraswati
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: There are a number of studies on construct validity of a language test in general, and a reading test in particular; most of them are quantitative in nature. As quantitative studies may not capture the cognitive processes the test takers follow to respond to a test item, the importance of collecting verbal reports of test takers has been recommended in order to establish the construct validity of a test (Alderson, 1990b). Additionally, no research to date, has investigated the construct validity of the reading test of the school leaving examination in Nepal. Therefore, the present study was designed to fill this gap i.e. to investigate whether the reading strategies, the test claims to test, are measured by the test. In order to investigate the issue, eight grade 10 students were asked to take the reading test and think-aloud when responding to the test items. Immediately after they completed the test, they were asked to take part in a retrospective debriefing. Additionally, in order to triangulate the data, the views of seven language testing experts on the reading strategies tested by the test were collected. The experts were first asked to make judgements individually with regard to the skills tested by the test. Then, they were asked to take part in a focus group discussion. The findings provide grounded insights into the response behaviours prompted by the reading tasks on the test and indicate some threats to the construct validity of the test as the test does not seem to be measuring all the reading strategies it claims to measure. The study also indicates a very low level of agreement among the subject experts regarding the strategies tested by the test. Consequently, there was a big gap between the strategy use and expert judgements. Therefore, the usefulness of expert judgements to predict which reading strategies the test items are testing is questioned and the need for further research concerning the methodologies used in the study has been suggested. More importantly, the study highlights the need to make the test more valid.

description: Corporate philanthropy is a significant indicator of firm’s socially responsible behavior. Researchers and managers acknowledge the immense potential of corporate philanthropy for optimizing social and economic benefits. Aligned with this view corporate sector in Pakistan is engaged in philanthropic initiatives in some form or another. This paper aims to present the response of the Pakistani corporate sector to the corporate philanthropy at the time of global economic recession 2008-2009 by analyzing the sample of Public Listed Companies (PLCs). The analysis revealed that during the global financial crisis, the economic condition of Pakistan was worsened that was already in distress, but it hasn’t strongly effected the corporate philanthropy as the data shows a slight decrease in the overall volume of corporate donations in 2007 and a slight decrease in the number of companies engaged in philanthropy during 2008. The finding of the study suggests that during the global economic downturn the PLCs in Pakistan continued to show commitment towards community through corporate donations.

description: Employee’s job satisfaction is one of the main influential factors for the effectiveness of human resource development. The aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of organizational culture, knowledge management and employee engagement on job satisfaction among public officers. This research topic has been studied and is well-known in worldwide. In Mongolia, context the topic of study has been developed at low level. Data collected from the public-sector employees that understand to impact of job satisfaction. In the research, 213 participants participated who work in public organizations of Mongolian cities such as Ulaanbaatar, Darkhan and Erdenet and districts near to Ulaanbaatar city, including Nalaikh, Khutul, Baganuur. Therefore, the research methodology organized and used some information from statistical calculations in Mongolia. The results showed that impact of all factors such as organizational culture, knowledge management and employee engagement had a positive relationship on job satisfaction. It means that public servants can take care of organizational culture, knowledge management and employee engagement to remain and make their employees happy, as the more satisfied employees are, the more productive they are than those who are less satisfied. This study discussed the effects of above mentioned results, the implications for theory and practice along with the limitations of the research and the implications for further research. Data were used SPSS and SmartPLS 3.0 to test the relationships between variables.

description: The use of Information and communication technology (ICT) to gain competitive advantage has become a key strategic issue amongst organisations in the fast globalizing environment. This research aims to identify and recommend strategies that would assist in stimulating and increasing ICT adoption and use by Nigerian SMEs. This study on the appraisal of the motivators for and inhibitors to the use and adoption of ICT by SMEs in Nigeria. Present arguments suggests that for SMEs to survive and remain competitive in the current highly competitive business environment, there is the need to adopt and use ICT to attain some level of competitive advantage. To be able to achieve the above aim, this study adopted the qualitative research approach and a study of seven selected SMEs in Nigeria. Interviews were conducted with owner/managers with a view to get a better and deeper understanding of various level of government influence on ICT adoption. The research identified key factors that act as drivers of ICT adoption amongst SMEs in Nigeria. Summary of the factors that affect ICT adoption include: - Electricity/Power Challenges. - Finance and cost of High cost of hard/software. - Lack of focused policies. - Corruption. Recommendations: - As (SMEs) are among the greatest supplier of labour, there is the need for government to provide the necessary support and infrastructures. - Government needs to create more awareness on ICT benefits and adoption. - ICT should be introduced in all schools, colleges and universities and made compulsory.

description: In this paper we consider vacuum Kasner spacetimes, focusing on those that can be parametrized as linear perturbations of the special Petrov type D case. For these quasi-D Kasner models we first investigate the modification to the principal null directions, then a Teukolsky Master Equation for fields of any spin, considering in particular the quasi-D models as curvature perturbations of the type D background. Considering the speciality index and the principal null directions and comparing the results for the exact solutions and those for the perturbative ones, this simple Kasner example allows us to clarify that perturbed spacetime do not retain in general the speciality character of the background. There are four distinct principal null directions, although they are not necessarily first order perturbations of the background principal null directions, as our example of the quasi-D Kasner models shows. For the quasi-D Kasner models the use of a Teukolsky Master Equation, a classical tool for studying black hole perturbations, allows us to show, from a completely new point of view, the well known absence of gravitational waves in Kasner spacetimes. This result, used together with an explicit expression of the electric Weyl tensor in terms of Weyl scalars, provides an example of the fact that the presence of transverse curvature terms does not necessarily imply the presence of gravitational waves.

Particle Acceleration at High-$γ$ Shock Waves

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: First-order Fermi acceleration processes at ultrarelativistic shocks are studied with Monte Carlo simulations. The accelerated particle spectra are obtained by integrating the exact particle trajectories in a turbulent magnetic field near the shock, with a few ``realistic'' features of the field structure included. We show that the main acceleration process at oblique shocks is the particle compression at the shock. Formation of energetic spectral tails is possible in a limited energy range for highly perturbed magnetic fields. Cut-offs in the spectra occur at low energies in the resonance range considered. We relate this feature to the structure of the magnetic field downstream of the shock, where field compression produces effectively 2D turbulence in which cross-field diffusion is very small. Because of the field compression downstream, the acceleration process is inefficient also in parallel high-$γ$ shocks for larger turbulence amplitudes, and features observed in oblique shocks are recovered. For small-amplitude perturbations, particle spectra are formed in a wide energy range and modifications of the acceleration process due to the existence of long-wave perturbations are observed. The critical turbulence amplitude for efficient acceleration at parallel shocks decreases with shock Lorentz factor. We also study the influence of strong short-wave perturbations downstream of the shock on the particle acceleration processes. The spectral indices obtained do not converge to the ``universal'' value . Our results indicate inefficiency of the first-order Fermi process to generate high-energy cosmic rays at ultrarelativistic shocks with the considered perturbed magnetic field structures.

description: We investigate the Andreev-bound-state (ABS) spectra of three-terminal Josephson junctions which consist of 1D topological superconductors (TSCs) harboring multiple zero-energy edge Majorana bound states (MBSs) protected by chiral symmetry. Our theoretical analysis relies on the exact numerical diagonalization of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonian describing the three interfaced TSCs, complemented by an effective low-energy description solely based on the coupling of the interfacial MBSs arising before the leads get contacted. Considering the 2D synthetic space spanned by the two independent superconducting phase differences, we demonstrate that the ABS spectra may contain either point or line nodes, and identify $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariants to classify them. We show that the resulting type of nodes depends on the number of preexisting interfacial MBSs, with nodal lines necessarily appearing when two TSCs harbor an unequal number of MBSs. Specifically, the precise number of interfacial MBSs determines the periodicity of the spectrum under $2π$-slidings of the phase differences and, as a result, also controls the shape of the nodal lines in synthetic space. When chiral symmetry is preserved, the lines are open and coincide with high-symmetry lines of synthetic space, while when it is violated the lines can also transform into loops and chains. The nodal spectra are robust by virtue of the inherent particle-hole symmetry of the BdG Hamiltonian, and give rise to distinctive experimental signatures that we identify.

description: High-harmonic generation (HHG) spectrum from a LiH molecule induced by an intense laser pulse is computed and analyzed with potential energy surfaces for electron motion (ePES) constructed from a model of localized electron wave packets (EWP) with valence-bond spin-coupling. The molecule has two valence ePES with binding energies of 0.39 hartree and 1.1 hartree. The HHG spectrum from an electron dynamics on the weaker bound valence ePES, virtually assigned to Li 2s, exhibits a dominant peak at the first harmonic without plateau and cut-off. This compares with the free electron spectrum under oscillating laser field and is comprehensive with the shape and depth of the ePES. The other valence ePES, assingned to H 1s, is deeper bound such that the overall profile of the wave function is well approximated by a Gaussian of the width comparable to the Li-H bond length. However, a small fraction, less than $10^{-3}$, of the probability density amplitude tunnels out from the bound potential with high wave number, and spreads over tens of nm's with parts recombining to the molecule due to the laser field oscillation. This minor portion of the electronic wave function is the major origin of the HHG extending up to 50 harmonic orders. Nonlinear dynamics within the potential well induced by the laser field oscillation also contributes to the HHG up to 30 harmonic orders.

description: As the Caribbean continues to succumb to the pressure of Non-Communicable Diseases innovative strategies are being sought to rectify the problem. Increasing the purchase and consumption of fish/seafood has great potential in this regard; however, very little empirical research appears to have been undertaken on food marketing in general and for fish in particular in the Caribbean. This study analyzed the factors that affect the frequency of fish purchasing in Trinidad and Tobago. The results of the analysis indicated that 63% of the sample are occasional purchasers of fish (purchased fish less frequently than once per week). The binary logit analysis showed that of the eight socioeconomic variables analyzed, only three were statistically significant – age, educational level attained and religion. The results suggested that persons over 35 years, more educated (tertiary level trained) and non-Christians are more probable to be regular purchasers of fish than younger, primary and secondary level educated Christians. It is hoped that marketers trying to develop strategies to gain market share in the highly competitive food market, nutritionists and others attempting to reduce the health care costs of Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean countries through the increased consumption of fish/seafood find these results informative.

description: Increased labour efficiency is imperative in the developing world and particularly in Nigerian Agriculture which should be in its leaping phase. The interaction between labour efficiency and ICTs is inevitable in the realisation of the nation’s agribusiness potentials. Following a vivid descriptive statistics on main occupations and access to ICTs among the Nigerian populace, this study assessed effects of ICTs on the probability that a working aged Nigerian chose agricultural occupation over non-agricultural occupations. In doing so, the study analysed the effects of access to ICTs on agricultural labour efficiency in Nigeria. Data used for the analysis were drawn from the Nigerian General Household Survey-Panel held in 2010-2011 period. Analytical framework for the study include: Logistic Regression and Multiple Regression Models. Results show that access to mobile phones, using the internet to obtain information, and using the internet to send or receive mails were significant factors of the probability that a Nigerian chose agriculture or its related activities as a main occupation. Again, access to personal computers, use of the internet for e-banking, e-learning and for reading e-newspapers had significant impact on agricultural labour efficiency in Nigeria. The study recommends that labour policies should find a place for the role of ICTs, particularly the internet.

description: This study determines the financial viability of the floricultural industry in Ghana using both discounting and non-discounting investment appraisal methods. The feasibility analysis suggests that large-scale floricultural firms are more profitable particularly with the production of cut flowers. However, investors with limited capital can venture into small-scale production specifically cut flowers. The conclusion is that the floriculture industry is financially viable therefore investors are encouraged to expend their resources in the industry. We recommend that the government and stakeholders need to create institutional support to enable the already established firms to further develop and attract new investors in the sector.

description: We identify quantum many-body scars in the transverse field quantum Ising model on a ladder. We make explicit how the corresponding (mid spectrum, low entanglement) many-body eigenstates can be approximated by injecting quasi-particle excitations into an exact, zero-energy eigenstate, which is of valence bond solid type. Next, we present a systematic construction of product states characterized, in the limit of a weak transverse field, by a sharply peaked local density of states. We describe how the construction of these "peak states" generalizes to arbitrary dimension and show that on the ladder their number scales with system size as the square of the golden ratio.

description: The $B^{-} \to χ_{c0} K^{-}$ decay which has no visible factorizable amplitude, could be induced by the Cabibbo-allowed, color-favored $B^{-} \to D_{s}D^{*0}$, $B^{-} \to D^{*0}_{s}D^{0}$ and $B \to D_{s}^{*}D^{*}$ via the rescattering of these charmed mesons to $χ_{co} K^{-}$. In this talk I would like to discuss a recent calculation \cite{Colangelo} of these effects for $B^{-} \to χ_{c0} K^{-}$ and $B^{-} \to J/ψK^{-}$ decays. We find that charmed scattering effects seem capable of producing a large $B^{-} \to χ_{c0} K^{-}$ branching ratio measured by the Babar and Belle Collaboration and make a significant contribution to the $B^{-} \to J/ψK^{-}$ branching ratios in agreement with experiments.

description: In this paper we describe and clarify the definitions and the usage of the simple and logarithmic returns for financial assets like stocks or portfolios. It can be proven that the distributions of the simple and logarithmic returns are really close to each other. Because of this fact we investigate the question whether the calculated financial risk depends on the use of simple or log returns. To show the effect of the return-type on the calculations, we consider and compare the riskiness order of stocks and portfolios. For our purposes, in the empirical study we use seven Hungarian daily stock prices and for the risk calculation we focus on the following risk measures: standard deviation, semivariance, Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall. The results clearly show that the riskiness order can depend on the use of the return type (i.e. log or simple return). Generally, often – due to missing data or the nature of the analysis – one has to use approximations. We also examine the effect of these approximations on the riskiness order of stocks and of portfolios. We found differences in the riskiness order using exact or approximated values. Therefore, we believe, if this is possible, exact values instead of approximated ones should be used for calculations. Additionally, it is important that one uses the same type of return within one study and one has to be aware of the possible instabilities when comparing return results.

Radiative Processes In Extragalactic Large-Scale Jets

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: About one thousand extragalactic large-scale jets are known, and a few tens of them are confirmed sources of infrared, optical, or X-ray photons. Multiwavelength emission comming directly from these outflows is always non-thermal in origin. This fact constitutes a primary difficulty in extracting unknown parameters of large-scale jets, since the non-thermal featureless continua do not allow to infer undoubtfully (or even at all) bulk velocities and composition of the radiating plasma. In addition, arcsecond spatial resolution, limited sensitivity and narrow energy bands of the best high-frequency telescopes like Spitzer, Hubble and Chandra, preclude precise constraints on the spectral and morphological properties of the discussed objects. Nevertheless, new multiwavelength observations have substantially enriched our knowledge on extragalactic large-scale jets, in many aspects, however, by means of challenging previous predictions and expectations. In this short contribution I will concentrate on the following issue: what can be learned by analyzing broad-band emission of the discussed objects about particle acceleration processes acting thereby and about jet internal parameters.

End-to-end Learning of Object Motion Estimation from Retinal Events for Event-based Object Tracking

description: Event cameras, which are asynchronous bio-inspired vision sensors, have shown great potential in computer vision and artificial intelligence. However, the application of event cameras to object-level motion estimation or tracking is still in its infancy. The main idea behind this work is to propose a novel deep neural network to learn and regress a parametric object-level motion/transform model for event-based object tracking. To achieve this goal, we propose a synchronous Time-Surface with Linear Time Decay (TSLTD) representation, which effectively encodes the spatio-temporal information of asynchronous retinal events into TSLTD frames with clear motion patterns. We feed the sequence of TSLTD frames to a novel Retinal Motion Regression Network (RMRNet) to perform an end-to-end 5-DoF object motion regression. Our method is compared with state-of-the-art object tracking methods, that are based on conventional cameras or event cameras. The experimental results show the superiority of our method in handling various challenging environments such as fast motion and low illumination conditions.

description: In the last decades the women started to do sports which were originally masculine (Pfister, 1990). The parity led to the slow transformation of the old-school thinking about the traditional roles of sexes (Hall, 1996). The main questions of our investigation were whether the athletes’ thought of the figure skating and the ice hockey are different according to their sport or to the existing stereotypes in the Hungarian sport society. We used semi-structured interviews to gather opinions of two different gender type icy sports’ top women athletes (figure skating and ice hockey) to see their viewpoints about the gender equalization. We can verify Metheny (1965) findings, that the social acceptance or refusal of women in sports on the basis of traditional features is changing slightly. Research questions were: Are there differences in the childhood sport socialization processes of the representatives of the two sports? What was the motivation behind their choice of sports? Are there differences in the gender identities of female athletes? What is the athletes’ opinion on one another and the representatives of the other sport? Method was semi-structured in-depth interviews and the samples were the members of the Hungarian women ice hockey and figure skating national team. According to our results family and siblings were decisive in the childhood socialization process. Early age patterns do not seem to have much influence on the selection of sport. Although among water polo/ice hockey girls there were a few tomboys. Among the ice hockey team members there were girlish girls and boyish girls as well, but among the figure skaters there were no one who was boyish. No differences can be observed in their views on gender roles concerning for example employment or housework.
