description: This paper presents the principles of operation of Resistive AC-Coupled Silicon Detectors (RSDs) and measurements of the temporal and spatial resolutions using a combined analysis of laser and beam test data. RSDs are a new type of n-in-p silicon sensor based on the Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) technology, where the $n^+$ implant has been designed to be resistive, and the read-out is obtained via AC-coupling. The truly innovative feature of RSD is that the signal generated by an impinging particle is shared isotropically among multiple read-out pads without the need for floating electrodes or an external magnetic field. Careful tuning of the coupling oxide thickness and the $n^+$ doping profile is at the basis of the successful functioning of this device. Several RSD matrices with different pad width-pitch geometries have been extensively tested with a laser setup in the Laboratory for Innovative Silicon Sensors in Torino, while a smaller set of devices have been tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility with a 120 GeV/c proton beam. The measured spatial resolution ranges between $2.5\; μm$ for 70-100 pad-pitch geometry and $17\; μm$ with 200-500 matrices, a factor of 10 better than what is achievable in binary read-out ($bin\; size/ \sqrt{12}$). Beam test data show a temporal resolution of $\sim 40\; ps$ for 200-$μm$ pitch devices, in line with the best performances of LGAD sensors at the same gain.

description: John and Christina Quay lived in Winnipeg, after emigrating from Scotland. Their three sons, Adam, John and Robert, who had all been born in Glasgow, joined the forces in Canada fairly early in the war and came to Europe. Adam Martin Quay worked at Winnipeg General Hospital before enlisting, then joined the Medical Corps as a stretcher bearer. He was injured by shrapnel in the arm, then brought back to the UK - possibly to Folkestone for treatment. He was treated there and met his future wife, Alice Annie Andrews. Doctors advised that they may have to amputate his arm, but after being told that he could have some limited grip in his hand, he opted to keep the limb. He went back to Canada with his new wife, to Winnipeg, where he had 5 children. Eventually they returned to the UK in the mid 1930s, initially to Folkestone. When the Second World War started, he moved the family to Camberley, Surrey, as Folkestone was vulnerable. He lived a full working life, even with his damaged arm - he worked in the kitchens at Sandhurst Military Academy. He also played the accordion, and played bowls. Adam was of course a Canadian veteran, and they had a very strong support network. His granddaughter, Jeanette, remembers going to big "Canadian picnics," which had a strong Scottish connection where highland games were played, and bagpipes.
From Leading Hadron Suppression to Jet Quenching at RHIC and at the LHC

description: In nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), one generically observes a strong medium-induced suppression of high-pT hadron production. This suppression is accounted for in models which assume a significant medium-induced radiative energy loss of high-pT parent partons produced in the collision. How can we further test the microscopic dynamics conjectured to underly this abundant high-pT phenomenon? What can we learn about the dynamics of parton fragmentation, and what can we learn about the properties of the medium which modifies it ? Given that inelastic parton scattering is expected to be the dominant source of partonic equilibration processes, can we use hard processes as an experimentally well-controlled window into QCD non-equilibrium dynamics ? Here I review what has been achieved so far, and which novel opportunities open up with higher luminosity at RHIC, and with the wider kinematical range accessible soon at the LHC.

description: A key objective in multi-view learning is to model the information common to multiple parallel views of a class of objects/events to improve downstream learning tasks. In this context, two open research questions remain: How can we model hundreds of views per event? Can we learn robust multi-view embeddings without any knowledge of how these views are acquired? We present a neural method based on multi-view correlation to capture the information shared across a large number of views by subsampling them in a view-agnostic manner during training. To provide an upper bound on the number of views to subsample for a given embedding dimension, we analyze the error of the bootstrapped multi-view correlation objective using matrix concentration theory. Our experiments on spoken word recognition, 3D object classification and pose-invariant face recognition demonstrate the robustness of view bootstrapping to model a large number of views. Results underscore the applicability of our method for a view-agnostic learning setting.

description: 2004. május elsején lezárult egy hosszú felkészülési időszak a magyar mezőgazdaság számára és – bizonyos korlátozásokkal – hatályba léptek az Európai Unió Közös Agrárpolitikájának szabályai, rendelkezései. A tanulmány vizsgálja az agrárgazdaság 2004. évi jövedelmeinek alakulását, illetve azt, hogy ebben milyen szerepet játszottak az EU-csatlakozás mérlegének pozitív és negatív serpenyőjébe helyezhető tényezők. Az előbbiek sorában megemlíthetők a következők: a támogatási keretek növekedése, új pályázati lehetőségek, a spontán piaci ingadozások mérséklése, a várhatóan állandóbb szabályozási környezet, valamint a nagyobb termelői jövedelmek. A negatívumok sorában kiemelhetők: az intézményrendszer felkészületlenségéből eredő támogatás-kifizetési problémák s az ebből adódó pénzhiány, a versenyképesség (remélhetőleg átmeneti) romlása, az állattenyésztés visszaesése, az export-import egyenlegének csökkenése. Bár a csatlakozásnak a pozitív következmények mellett számos kellemetlen „mellékhatása” is volt, az agrárjövedelmek az utóbbi öt év alatt 2004-ben emelkedtek a legmagasabb szintre. A jövőre nézve nagy valószínűséggel állítható, hogy az intézményi rendszer stabilizálódása és a piacok megszerveződése után a jól vezetett, szakosodott gazdaságok a csatlakozás nyertesei lesznek. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX For Hungarian agriculture a long period of preparation has ended in May 2004 and the rules and orders of the Common Agricultural Policy of European Union within certain limits have become applicable. This study examines the development of incomes in agricultural and the role of positive and negative factors affecting them due to having joined the EU. The earlier factors include primarily increases in agricultural supports, new opportunities for applying for funds, moderation of spontaneous market fluctuations, a foreseeable legislative environment of increased stability and increased income for the producers. The negative factors include support-payment problems deriving from unprepared systems of institutions leading consequently to lack of funds, deterioration of competitiveness (hopefully transitionally), decline of animal husbandry and decline of export-import balance. Although a number of positive factors was balanced by a number of unpleasant “side-effects”, agricultural incomes in the past five years increased to the highest level in 2004. With respect to the future, it can be forecast with confidence that well-managed and well-specialised farms will become the winners of Hungary’s accession to the European Union once the systems of institutions are stabilised and markets are organised.

description: To reduce the storage requirements, remote sensing (RS) images are usually stored in compressed format. Existing scene classification approaches using deep neural networks (DNNs) require to fully decompress the images, which is a computationally demanding task in operational applications. To address this issue, in this paper we propose a novel approach to achieve scene classification in JPEG 2000 compressed RS images. The proposed approach consists of two main steps: i) approximation of the finer resolution sub-bands of reversible biorthogonal wavelet filters used in JPEG 2000; and ii) characterization of the high-level semantic content of approximated wavelet sub-bands and scene classification based on the learnt descriptors. This is achieved by taking codestreams associated with the coarsest resolution wavelet sub-band as input to approximate finer resolution sub-bands using a number of transposed convolutional layers. Then, a series of convolutional layers models the high-level semantic content of the approximated wavelet sub-band. Thus, the proposed approach models the multiresolution paradigm given in the JPEG 2000 compression algorithm in an end-to-end trainable unified neural network. In the classification stage, the proposed approach takes only the coarsest resolution wavelet sub-bands as input, thereby reducing the time required to apply decoding. Experimental results performed on two benchmark aerial image archives demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly reduces the computational time with similar classification accuracies when compared to traditional RS scene classification approaches (which requires full image decompression).

description: A vizsgálatokból megállapítható, hogy a Gyöngyösi Kistérségben a legtöbb munkanélküli a 20-29 év közötti korosztályból, illetve az általános iskolai, vagy szakmunkás bizonyítvánnyal rendelkezők köréből kerül ki. A nyilvántartott munkanélküliek között a fizikai munkásoknál a férfiak, a szellemi foglalkozású-aknál pedig a nők túlsúlya állapítható meg. A legtöbb munkanélküli a feldolgo-zóiparból kerül ki, de az időszakos igény is itt jelentkezik. A munkanélküliségi ráta emelkedő jellegű és az országost meghaladó 2002-2004 között. Ezért különö-sen fontos a különféle képzési formák és az álláskeresés támogatása, valamint az agrár területen a régóta halogatott szaktanácsadás bevezetése. A megoldásban az eLearning, a Humánerőforrás-fejlesztési Operatív Program, valamint a LEADER+ játszik fontos szerepet. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Investigations have shown that most unemployed people in the Gyöngyös subregion are 20-29 years old persons possessing elementary school or skilled workman’s certificates. Of the registered unemployed persons bluecolour workers among males and whitecolour workers among females are in the majority. Most unemployed people come from processing industries, but periodic demand is noticeable also in this area. The unemployment rate is increasing and exceeds the national average between 2000-2004. Therefore various types of retraining is particularly import in this subregion and so is the support of job finding and the introduction of long delayed counselling services in agricultural areas. The eLearning, the Human resources Development Program and the LEADER+ programmes may play important roles in resolving these problems.

The chemical and structural properties varied rather widely from batch to batch, with a result that $T_{c}$ varied from 4.6 K to 3.2 K. The magnetic susceptibility above $T_{c}$ shows upturn at low temperature as in the case of the P2 phase. The $T_{c}$ seems to be well correlated to the lattice parameters.

Non-detection of the Gamma-ray Burst X-ray Emission Line: The Down-Comptonization Effect

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The detection of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) X-ray emission line is important for studying the GRB physics and constraining the GRB redshift. Since the line-like feature in the GRB X-ray spectrum was first reported in 1999, several works on line searching have been published over the past two decades. Even though some observations on the X-ray line-like feature were performed, the significance remains controversial to date. In this paper, we utilize the down-Comptonization mechanism and present the time evolution of the Fe K$α$ line emitted near the GRB central engine. The line intensity decreases with the evolution time, and the time evolution depends on the the electron density and the electron temperature. In addition, the initial line with a larger broadening decreases less over time. For instance, when the emission line penetrates material with the an electron density above $10^{12}$ cm$^{-3}$ at 1 keV, it generally becomes insignificant enough after 100 s for it not to be detected. The line-like profile deviates from the Gaussian form, and it finally changes to be similar to a blackbody shape at the time of the thermal equilibrium between the line photons and the surrounding material.

description: Literatures about factors affecting demand scale of rural land circulation are reviewed. Based on this, a total of 5 deficiencies in these literatures are put forward, which are the inconsistency between model selection and sample data type in some literatures, the lack of analysis from the perspective of internal family, the incomplete or inaccurate research factors, the lack of analysis on causation, and the mixture of inflow and outflow of land circulation. According to the 109 valid questionnaires in Lanshan Area, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, China, Optimal Scaling Regression Analysis is used to conduct empirical study on the land circulation status of Rizhao City by selecting three variables including family size, the annual net income of rural household and the proportion of cultivating income in annual net income. Function model of factors affecting demand scale of rural land circulation is established. Result shows that, as for a single rural household, these three variables are the most significant factors affecting demand scale of rural land circulation, and have positive correlation with the demand scale of land circulation.

Cassiope tetragona and climate change in the Canadian High Arctic : experimental studies and reconstruction of past climate for Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada
Creators: name: Rayback, Shelly A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research examines the responses of the circumpolar, evergreen, dwarf-shrub, Cassiope tetragona (L.) D. Don (Ericaceae) (arctic White heather) to experimental warming and natural climatic variability through dendrochronological techniques. The study's goals were: (1) to quantify C. tetragona growth and reproductive responses prior to and during experimental temperature enhancement, (2) to reconstruct 20th century climate for Alexandra Fiord and central Ellesmere Island based on C. tetragona chronologies, (3) to conduct a comparative analysis of my climate reconstruction with other climate proxies from northern North America. In 1992, permanent open-top chambers (OTCs) were established in heath tundra plant communities at Alexandra Fiord, Ellesmere Island. The OTCs raised the growing season temperature by 1.3°C. Using dendrochronological techniques, the responses of C. tetragona prior to (1986-1991) and during (1992-1998) the experimental warming were investigated Cassiope tetragona exhibited a strong reproductive response, but weak growth response to the experimental wanning. The results confirm that reproductive development in high arctic plants is more sensitive to the thermal environment than vegetative growth, and, summer temperatures are critical to tundra ecosystems for successful reproduction. Secondly, dendroclimatological analysis of C. tetragona was used to reconstruct past summer temperature for Alexandra Fiord and central Ellesmere Island. Three C. tetragona populations were sampled at Alexandra Fiord (78° 52'N, 75° 47'W) and one at Hot Weather Creek (79° 58'N, 84° 28'W). Two growth and two reproduction chronologies were developed for each sampling site. The 95-year long reconstruction (1899-1994) of August-September average air temperature for Alexandra Fiord was the longest C. tetragona-based proxy record and explained 51% of the dependent climate variance. A second reconstruction of August-September average air temperature based upon chronologies from Alexandra Fiord and Hot Weather Creek explained 66% of the dependent climate variance. The reconstructions revealed an increase in summer temperature from the 1920s-1960s, a cooling period from the 1960s-1970s, and finally, a second increase in summer temperature beginning in the 1980s. Other arctic climate proxies support this study's conclusions. Finally, correlation analysis revealed that high summer Arctic Oscillation index values are associated with unfavorable growing season conditions, resulting in reduced growth and reproduction in C. tetragona populations on Ellesmere

description: Regional situation of Zhejiang Province and connotation of Logistic Equation are introduced. According to the relevant statistical data from 1978 to 2006, dynamic change and its driving forces of cultivated land area in Zhejiang Province are analyzed. ① Since the year 1978, cultivated land area has shown a significant fluctuant decreasing trend in Zhejiang Province, China. ② Cultivated land at the two stages of 1984-1988 and 1990-1995 decreases sharply. Large area of cultivated land is occupied by non-agricultural construction. ③ Economic development, population growth and agricultural scientific and technological development are the main driving forces. Contradiction between land and human beings becomes more acute; and the load of cultivated land becomes increasingly heavy. ④ Cumulative reduction area of cultivated land changes with time, showing a "S"-shaped curve and according with the Logistic Equation. Change of cultivated land of Jiangsu Province in future is forecasted by Logistic Equation. Result shows that the cumulative reduction area of cultivated land will stop increasing until the year 2020 with the total reduction area of 90.91 thousand hectares. Cultivated area of Zhejiang Province will either be stable at the level of 1498.24 thousand hectares or will fluctuate around it. With the development of industrial structure, encroachment of urbanization and industrialization on cultivated land is not ever-increasing, but will tend to stop at a certain stage. Overall consideration on land use demand for food safety and for urbanization and industrialization may become possible with the advancement of technology and the increase of land inputs.

description: Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) was implemented on seafood in the United States on April 4, 2005. MCOOL exempts the foodservice sector and excludes processed seafood from labeling. This paper contributes to understanding the economics of the MCOOL law for seafood by showing that current partial implementation may have unintended consequences on the domestic supply chain. While labeling satisfies the market demand for information provision in one market, exemptions in the other market may create incentives for the diversion of imports, which are assumed to be lower in quality than domestic seafood, to the non-labeled sector. Analyzing alternate scenarios such as voluntary labeling shows that total welfare may be greatest under this scenario compared with partial MCOOL. Voluntary origin labeling of seafood by some U.S. retailers indicates there is no compelling market failure argument warranting partial MCOOL implementation. This work is therefore a step towards analyzing the effect of partial MCOOL policy in the seafood industry taking into consideration the nature of the industry.

description: Cashew is by far the most important cash crop grown in Guinea Bissau. Indeed, the degree of export dependence on this crop exceeds even the export dependence of most members of OPEC on oil exports. This paper provides an overview of the current system of cashew production in Guinea Bissau and suggests policies to improve production, marketing and international sales.

description: On the basis of the correlative method of the unsymmetrized self-consistent field that yields the account of the strong anharmonicity of the lattice vibrations, it has been calculated the temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure of higher and smaller fullerites, from C36 up to the C96, and their thermodynamic properties along their sublimation curves. We have used the intermolecular potential of Girifalco with parameters recently calculated for these fullerenes. The calculations were accomplished up to the temperature of loss of stability (spinodal point) Ts. We compare our results with available experimental data, and with quantities calculated earlier for the magnitudes of the most widespread of the fullerites, the C60. The behavior of some characteristics is considered in their dependence on the number of atoms in the molecule.

description: Liquid infused surfaces (LIS) exhibit unique properties that make them ideal candidates for a wide range of applications, from anti-fouling and anti-icing coatings to self-healing surfaces and controlled wetting. However, when exposed to realistic environmental conditions, LIS tend to age and progressively lose their desirable properties, potentially compromising their application. The associated ageing mechanisms are still poorly understood, and results reflecting real-life applications are scarce. Here we track the ageing of model LIS composed of glass surfaces functionalized with hydrophobic nanoparticles and infused with silicone oil. The LIS are fully submerged in aqueous solutions and exposed to acoustic pressure waves for set time intervals. The ageing is monitored by periodic measurements of the LIS' wetting properties. We also track changes to the LIS' nanoscale structure. We find that the LIS rapidly lose their slippery properties due to a combination of oil loss, smoothing of the nanoporous functional layer and substrate degradation when directly exposed to the solution. The oil loss is consistent with water microdroplets entering the oil layer and displacing oil away from the surface. These mechanisms are general and could play a role in the ageing of most LIS.

PROGRAM NOTE
This composition aims to bring the sound of the piano as close as possible to the sound of Percy Grainger’s Free Music ideals, by applying pitch tracking and spectral filtering. Delicate, sparse piano pitches are sampled and transported into theremin like tones where the tempered scale becomes irrelevant. The 'Kaps piano' is the childhood piano of Percy Grainger, and resides in the Grainger Museum in Melbourne. It was made in Dresden, Germany in 1887. Grainger practiced on this piano daily as a child, presided over by his teacher and mother, Rose Grainger. Hope has long been fascinated with Grainger's Free Music, having realised performances of the theremin works. Kaps Freed imagines a link between his childhood piano practice routine and his later investigations into Free Music - a music characterised by the emancipation of rhythmic processes and pitch, both explored in this, and most of Hope's work. The piano notation is inspired by Albert Lake in Melbourne, the same lake that is said to have been the inspiration for Grainger's theory of Free Music.

Time-of-arrival probabilities and quantum measurements

description: We study the construction of probability densities for time-of-arrival in quantum mechanics. Our treatment is based upon the facts that (i) time appears in quantum theory as an external parameter to the system, and (ii) propositions about the time-of-arrival appear naturally when one considers histories. The definition of time-of-arrival probabilities is straightforward in stochastic processes. The difficulties that arise in quantum theory are due to the fact that the time parameter of Schrödinger's equation does not naturally define a probability density at the continuum limit, but also because the procedure one follows is sensitive on the interpretation of the reduction procedure. We consider the issue in Copenhagen quantum mechanics and in history-based schemes like consistent histories. The benefit of the latter is that it allows a proper passage to the continuous limit--there are however problems related to the quantum Zeno effect and decoherence. We finally employ the histories-based description to construct Positive-Operator-Valued-Measures (POVMs) for the time-of-arrival, which are valid for a general Hamiltonian. These POVMs typically depend on the resolution of the measurement device; for a free particle, however, this dependence cancels in the physically relevant regime and the POVM coincides with that of Kijowski.

description: This paper details the current situation in Guinea Bissau regarding infrastructure needs and suggests policies for the future. In particular it is noted that the degradation of the country’s only port in Bissau is a serious concern given the likelihood that the port will in a few years cease to be accessible to ocean-going freighters if rehabilitation is not made an immediate priority. While primary roads are in fairly good shape, secondary roads are abysmal and maintenance needs are routinely ignored on all roads. It is shown that completion of bridges connecting Bissau directly to Senegal will have the effect of making Senegalese ports the preferred outlet for many of Guinea Bissau’s exports.

description: The ATLAS and CMS collaborations of the LHC have observed that the Higgs boson decays into the bottom quark-antiquark pair, and have also established that the Higgs coupling with the top quark-antiquark pair is instrumental in one of the modes for Higgs production. This underlines the discovery of the Yukawa force at the LHC. We demonstrate the impact of this discovery on the Higgs properties that are related to the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that these measurements have considerably squeezed the allowed window for new physics contributing to the Higgs couplings with the weak gauge bosons and the third generation quarks. The expected constraints at the HL-LHC and future Higgs factories are also shown. We project these constraints on the parameter space of a few motivated scenarios beyond the Standard Model. We pick them under two broad categories, namely, the composite Higgs and its RS dual, as well as various types of multi-Higgs models. The latter category includes models with singlet scalars, Type I, II and BGL-type two-Higgs doublet models, and models with scalar triplets a la Georgi and Machacek.

title: A multi-scale mathematical model for simulating and optimising the growth of Bambara groundnut
Creators: name: Dodd, Josie
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: A principal objective in agriculture is to maximise food production; this is particularly relevant with the added demands of an ever increasing population, coupled with the unpredictability that climate change brings. Further improvements in productivity can only be achieved with an increased understanding of plant and crop processes. In this respect, mathematical modelling of plants and crops plays an important role. In this thesis we present a two-scale mathematical model of crop yield, that accounts for plant growth and canopy interactions. A system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has been developed for each individual plant, where equations are coupled via a term that describes plant competition. Both analytical and numerical methods have been considered to describe this competition. This model has been formulated for an underutilised African legume called bambara groundnut, a drought tolerant crop, which is currently being investigated to be used more widely as a food source in light of climate change and food security. Like many plant species, bambara groundnut exhibits physiological diversity which may affect the overall growth dynamics and crop yield. Such plant diversity is not regularly accounted for in crop scale models. Our model not only allows us to account for plant diversity, but we can investigate the effect of individual plant traits (e.g. plant canopy size and growth rates, planting distance) on the crop scale yield. The mathematical model has been formulated and validated using experimental data collected from the Tropical Crops Research Unit (TCRU) and Future Crops greenhouses at the University of Nottingham. We find that the mathematical model developed in this thesis is able to predict the growth of a population of bambara groundnut well and we go on to optimise the arrangement of individual plants for a series of scenarios. The primary aim of this is to maximise crop yield. Whilst formulated specifically for bambara groundnut, our model may also be extended to other crop species. In this thesis we demonstrate that the model is also able to simulate the growth of oil palm. We then apply the mathematical model to maximise crop yield in an intercropping environment; the planting of two or more species together in the same field area. We again investigate a series of scenarios that require optimisation and find that the optimisation techniques are able to provide plausible recommendations. This work has been undertaken in a multidisciplinary environment involving interactions with Plant Scientists at the University of Nottingham (Nottingham and Malaysia) and the Crops for the Future Research Centre, Malaysia.
