description: Every 5 years, USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) engages in a comprehensive study of the U.S. farm economy, known as the Census of Agriculture. The Census examines various facets of farm ownership, structure, and production and marketing practices. Beginning with the 1997 Census, NASS has collected specific information from farm operators regarding their use of direct-to-consumer marketing outlets to sell food for human consumption, recognizing that many farmers are turning to direct-to-consumer sales as a way to increase their share of consumer food expenditures. This factsheet on direct marketing developments and trends is designed to provide an overview of the growing importance of direct marketing to U.S. farmers, in general, and to specific regions and States, in particular, by extracting and summarizing data from the 2007 Census of Agriculture, and comparing these data with those from 1997 and 2002. Among the issues examined in the factsheet are absolute changes in the value of direct marketed food products, the share of total agricultural sales for direct marketed food products, and the relative importance of direct marketing at regional and State levels.

description: There has been massive investment in agricultural assets including farmland, handling and trading, technology, fertilizer, and others. Studies about investing in farmlands have been extensive, but have limited focus on investing IN non-farmland agricultural assets. This paper analyzes the role of farmland and other agricultural investments in class-specific portfolios. We use the Copula-VaR and Copula-VaR with restrictions methods to find, compare, and contrast the optimal portfolio compositions among US farmlands, classified agricultural equities, and grain futures. The results illustrate that farmland is attractive as an investment. However, as risk tolerance is increased, a shift to other agricultural assets would potentially bring higher returns.
title: Objectively violent: the cinema of Pablo Trapero
Creators: name: Mulliken, Douglas
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Argentine film, cinema of Argentina, Pablo Trapero, violence, film and philosophy, family.

description: This thesis identifies and analyses the function of violence in the films of screenwriter-director Pablo Trapero. It does this by examining different understandings of the concept of violence itself — with a particular emphasis placed on Slavoj Žižek’s concept of objective violence — and how it is represented on-screen in Trapero’s films. The work is divided into two parts, each consisting of two chapters. Each of the four chapters focuses on a pair of the director’s films; in each case the first film analysed introduces motifs and themes which the later film then expands upon and intensifies. Part I locates violence within the context of what Althusser defines as the State Apparatus, focusing on the diverse manifestations of the State’s power generally. Further, this section analyses the way in which Trapero’s films demonstrate the State’s manipulation of its subjects through repressive and ideological means for its own benefit. Part II tightens the thesis’s focus, examining Trapero’s representation of one specific ideological apparatus: the family unit. This section approaches different manifestations of the family and, using Deleuze and Guattari’s theories of Oedipal and rhizomatic families, considers the ways in which the family structure itself can be used as both a means of repression and, in certain cases, a means of resistance. This thesis contends that, through his representation of objective violence, Pablo Trapero has emerged as a distinctly political filmmaker. By focusing on several previously under-studied elements of Trapero’s films this thesis highlights the ways in which the director’s work represents present-day concerns about social inequalities and injustice in neoliberal Argentina on-screen. Finally, this work examines how Trapero combines aspects of Argentina’s long tradition of political film with elements of Nuevo Cine Argentino to create a unique political voice.

description: Planets that orbit only one of the stars in stellar binary systems (i.e., circumstellar) are dynamically constrained to a limited range of orbital parameters and thus understanding conditions on their stability is of great importance in exoplanet searches. We perform $\sim$700 million N-body simulations to identify how stability regions depend on properties of the binary, as well as, the starting planetary inclination and mean longitude relative to the binary orbit. Moreover, we provide grid interpolation maps and lookup tables for the community to use our results. Through Monte-Carlo methods we determine that planets with a semimajor axis $a_p$ $\lesssim$8\% of the binary semimajor axis $a_{bin}$ will likely be stable given the known distribution of binary star parameters. This estimate varies in the Lidov-Kozai regime or for retrograde orbits to 4\% or 10\% of $a_{bin}$, respectively. Our method to quickly determine the circumstellar stability limit is important for interpreting observations of binaries using direct imaging with JWST, photometry with TESS, or even astrometry with Gaia.

description: Beams of light with helical wavefronts can be focused into ring-like optical traps known as optical vortices. The orbital angular momentum carried by photons in helical modes can be transferred to trapped mesoscopic objects and thereby coupled to a surrounding fluid. We demonstrate that arrays of optical vortices created with the holographic optical tweezer technique can assemble colloidal spheres into dynamically reconfigurable microoptomechanical pumps assembled by optical gradient forces and actuated by photon orbital angular momentum.

Different concepts of maximal CP-nonconservation in the gauge-Higgs and the quark-Higgs (Yukawa) sectors are compared. Maximal CP nonconservation in the gauge-Higgs sector does normally not lead to maximal CP nonconservation in the Yukawa sector, and vice versa.

description: We have synthesised a novel ternary composite GO/PANI/CuFe2 O4 byoxidative-polymerisation technique with enhanced electrochemical performance. The analysis like XRD, FTIR, HR-SEM and EDS confirm the successful formation of material. The ternary supercapacitor electrode material GO/PANI/CuFe2O4 consists of GO which acts as a substrate, PANI polymer and CuFe2 O4 that provides a more conducting nature. The GO/PANI/CuFe2O4 ternary gives the highest specific capacitance value of 790.12 F/g and 357.28 F/g at 1 mV/s and 1 A/g from 3E and symmetric 2E device system. The system exhibits a wide 1.2 V potential window. From the symmetric system, GO/PANI/CuFe2O4 had high specific energy of 71.45 Wh/kg at 1 A/g and 5983.90 W/kg specific power at 20 A/g with 78.77% retention of its original capacitance after 5000 cycles. The ternary system exhibited the least Rct value of 8.72 Ω. The synergistic effect between the individual components is the primary key for its outstanding electrochemical performance.

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

title: Limit cinema: Bataille and the nonhuman in contemporary global film
Creators: name: Birks, Chelsea
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Film, philosophy, film-philosophy, ecology, ecocriticism, nature, Georges Bataille, global cinema, contemporary cinema, world cinema.

description: This thesis explores how contemporary global cinema represents the relationship between humans and nature. Drawing from the philosophy of Georges Bataille, especially his notion of transgression, I argue that certain contemporary films attempt to transgress the limit between human and nonhuman realities. I call these films limit cinema because they operate at the boundary between thought and world: they interrogate the lines between nature and culture and reframe our relationship to aspects of existence in excess of human thought. In taking a film-philosophical approach, I explore not only what philosophy might be able to say about ecological aspects of contemporary film, but also what films can contribute to philosophical discussions of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. To that end, I bring Bataille into conversation with more recent discussions in the humanities that seek less anthropocentric modes of thought, especially film ecocriticism, speculative realism, and other theories associated with the nonhuman turn. I approach the limit between human and nonhuman realities in a number of ways. The films of Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Ben Wheatley are interpreted in relation to a Bataillean understanding of the sacred, in which nonhuman reality is posited as immanent to this world but beyond human understanding. Two films, Jauja (Lisandro Alonso 2014) and Tectonics (Peter Bo Rappmund 2012), are analysed through the unlikely pairing of speculative realism and apparatus theory; these films demonstrate that the same representational structure can simultaneously implicate us more and less in anthropocentrism. Human subjectivity therefore cannot be cast aside so easily, and I argue that film ecocriticism cannot do without a theory of cinematic subjectivity. I begin to lay out such a theory in relation to Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac (2013) and Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin (2013), arguing that these films evoke subjectivity as an unstable process of turning inside out. I conclude by considering love as a way of relating to the nonhuman, using Grizzly Man (Werner Herzog 2005) and Konelīne: Our Land Beautiful (Nettie Wild 2016) as examples of cinematic expressions of love for nature. Though I argue that it is finally impossible to see beyond our finite human perspectives, limit cinema pushes against the boundaries of thought and encourages an ethical engagement with perspectives beyond the human.

Quantization of the nonstandard propagating gravitational waves in the cosmological background

description: Detections of gravitational wave (GW) stimulate the discussion of how GWs propagate in the expanding Universe. General relativity predicts that GWs are massless and propagate at the speed of light with no extra friction term, which relates to the attenuation of GWs, while some modified gravities may predict a different behavior. The mass and speed terms can be tightly constrained by the GW150914-like and GW170817/GRB 170817A events, respectively. However, the friction term remaining unconstrained. In this paper, we quantize the nonstandard propagating gravitational waves with nonzero friction term in the cosmological background, and study the influence of the friction term on the GW luminosity distance in quantum level, and the initial conditions of perturbations given by inflation. We find the quantum nature of the difference between GW and electromagnetic luminosity distance is graviton particle number non-conservation. For the initial conditions, we obtain an analytical expression of the power spectrum with nonzero friction term for the de Sitter background. In observations, both the GW luminosity distance and primordial GWs can be used to constrain the friction term.

description: The difficulty in obtaining labeled data relevant to a given task is among the most common and well-known practical obstacles to applying deep learning techniques to new or even slightly modified domains. The data volumes required by the current generation of supervised learning algorithms typically far exceed what a human needs to learn and complete a given task. We investigate ways to expand a given labeled corpus of remote sensed imagery into a larger corpus using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We then measure how these additional synthetic data affect supervised machine learning performance on an object detection task. Our data driven strategy is to train GANs to (1) generate synthetic segmentation masks and (2) generate plausible synthetic remote sensing imagery corresponding to these segmentation masks. Run sequentially, these GANs allow the generation of synthetic remote sensing imagery complete with segmentation labels. We apply this strategy to the data set from ISPRS' 2D Semantic Labeling Contest - Potsdam, with a follow on vehicle detection task. We find that in scenarios with limited training data, augmenting the available data with such synthetically generated data can improve detector performance.

description: In order to study the Sigma-nucleus optical potential, we measured inclusive (pi^-,K^+) spectra on medium-to-heavy nuclear targets: CH_2, Si, Ni, In and Bi. The CH_2 target was used to calibrate the excitation energy scale by using the elementary process p + pi^- -> K^+ + Sigma^-, where the C spectrum was also extracted. The calibration was done with +-0.1 MeV precision. The angular distribution of the elementary cross section was measured, and agreed well with the previous bubble chamber data, but with better statistics, and the magnitudes of the cross sections of the measured inclusive (pi^-,K^+) spectra were also well calibrated. All of the inclusive spectra were found to be similar in shape at a region near to the Sigma^- binding energy threshold, showing a weak mass-number dependence on the magnitude of the cross section. The measured spectra were compared with a theoretical calculation performed within the framework of the Distorted Wave Impulse Approximation (DWIA). It has been demonstrated that a strongly repulsive \sig-nucleus potential with a non-zero size of the imaginary part is required to reproduce the shape of the measured spectra.

description: Single junction solar cells with organic-inorganic perovskites have achieved efficiency > 25%, yet they suffer from long-term durability and toxicity. Additionally, all the best-performing perovskite light harvesters contain lead, hindering their real-time application. Herein, we report preliminary studies with the SCPAS-1D software package on three different perovskite light harvesters, namely FAPbI3, FASnI3, and CsSnI3, considering an approach towards stable and environmentally benign perovskite light harvesters. Additionally, to extract the best performance, each perovskite light harvester is analysed with four electron transport layers, namely TiO2, SnO2, BaSnO3, and La doped BaSnO3. The physical parameters such as thickness, doping, and defect density are optimised for the subsequent films to deliver high performance. Further, the operating temperature-dependent variation in power conversion efficiency and other solar cell parameters are also analysed. In an attempt to replace the high-cost gold counter electrode, a comparative study on the performance of other possible counter electrodes is also comprehensively detailed.

description: We have assessed how well stellar parameters (T_eff, logg and [Fe/H]) can be retrieved from low-resolution dispersed images to be obtained by the DIVA satellite. Although DIVA is primarily an all-sky astrometric mission, it will also obtain spectrophotometric information for about 13 million stars (operational limiting magnitude V ~ 13.5 mag). Constructional studies foresee a grating system yielding a dispersion of ~200nm/mm on the focal plane (first spectral order). For astrometric reasons there will be no cross dispersion which results in the overlapping of the first to third diffraction orders. The one-dimensional, position related intensity function is called a DISPI (DISPersed Intensity). We simulated DISPIS from synthetic spectra (...) for a limited range of metallicites i.e. our results are for [Fe/H] in the range -0.3 to 1 dex. We show that there is no need to deconvolve these low resolution signals in order to obtain basic stellar parameters. Using neural network methods and by including simulated data of DIVA's UV telescope, we can determine T_eff to an average accuracy of about 2% for DISPIS from stars with 2000 K < T_eff < 20000 K and visual magnitudes of V=13 mag (end of mission data). logg can be determined for all temperatures with an accuracy better than 0.25 dex for magnitudes brighter than V=12 mag. For low temperature stars with 2000 K < T_eff < 5000 K and for metallicities in the range -0.3 to +1 dex a determination of [Fe/H] is possible (to better than 0.2 dex) for these magnitudes. Additionally we examined the effects of extinction E(B-V) on DISPIS and found that it can be determined to better than 0.07 mag for magnitudes brighter than V=14 mag if the UV information is included.

description: In the United States, both industry and the federal government have worked to establish voluntary guidelines for how firms market food to children and to establish a threshold for the nutritional quality of foods marketed to children. The authors evaluate three US guidelines that deal with television advertising of breakfast cereals, which is both heavily advertised and a common meal item for children. They find that the majority of cereals advertised primarily to children from 2006-2008 do not meet any of the current and proposed self-regulatory nutrition guidelines, and that this is generally due to excessive sugar content. Further, children and adolescents are exposed to more advertising for products that do not meet the nutritional guidelines. We evaluate the extent to which each of the guidelines impacts advertising of cereals that are most viewed by children and purchased by households with children. The results provide insight for policy makers concerned with limiting the extent to which children see television advertising and ultimately consume unhealthy breakfast cereals.

description: Geometrical singularities in plasmonic metasurfaces have recently been proposed for the enhancement of light-matter interactions, owing to their broadband light-harvesting properties and extreme plasmon confinement. However, the large plasmon momenta thus achieved lead to failure of local descriptions of the optical response of metals. Here we study a class of metasurfaces consisting of a periodic metal slab with a smooth modulation of its thickness. When the thinnest part shrinks, the two surfaces almost touch, forming a near-singular point. Using transformation optics, we show analytically how nonlocal effects, such as a blueshift of the resonance peaks and a reduced density of states, become important and cannot be ignored in this singular regime. The method developed in this paper is very general and can be used to model a variety of metasurfaces, providing valuable insight in the current context of ultra-thin plasmonic structures.

description: The magnitude and frequency of coastal storms are expected to increase with rising global sea levels, which necessitates evaluating coastal flood adaptation measures. This study examines an important issue in the context of coastal flood protection, namely, the decision when to adopt protection measures. For any given coastal region, our benefit-cost framework allows us to determine the optimal timing of initiating protection that maximizes expected net benefits. We present an application of this framework to a coastal area in Connecticut. Our results suggest that the optimal timing of adopting protection may vary across different census blocks within the study area. We find that using a relatively low discount rate in the benefit-cost analysis implies greater heterogeneity in the timing decisions and earlier overall adoption, whereas, with higher discount rates, the timing decisions are reduced to a choice between early protection and no protection at all. If possible negative environmental and aesthetic impacts of sea barriers are taken into account, delaying protection would become more desirable, with the extent of delay being sensitive to the relative magnitude of one-time costs (e.g., loss of ocean view and recreational opportunities) vs. continuous costs (e.g., shoreline erosion and loss of wetlands).

description: This article develops a framework to analyze voluntary marketing initiatives aimed at reducing children’s exposure to high-calorie packaged foods. Our empirical investigation focuses on children’s ready-to-eat cereal; we begin by estimating a limited awareness differentiated product demand model using a panel of consumer purchase and television advertising data. We use the demand estimates in a dynamic model of pricing and advertising competition in which firms have the option of participating in an initiative that defines nutritional standards for products targeted toward children. Participation requires that firms either comply with nutritional standards by reformulating their product or stop advertising. Results from our analysis indicate that leading firms should choose participation and reformulation as the strictly dominant strategy as long as prospective product reformulation costs do not exceed the marginal profitability of reformulation.

description: The energy system studies include a wide range of issues from short term (e.g. real-time, hourly, daily and weekly operating decisions) to long term horizons (e.g. planning or policy making). The decision making chain is fed by input parameters which are usually subject to uncertainties. The art of dealing with uncertainties has been developed in various directions and has recently become a focal point of interest. In this paper, a new standard classification of uncertainty modeling techniques for decision making process is proposed. These methods are introduced and compared along with demonstrating their strengths and weaknesses. The promising lines of future researches are explored in the shadow of a comprehensive overview of the past and present applications. The possibility of using the novel concept of Z-numbers is introduced for the first time.

description: We present high resolution (lambda / Delta_lambda = 49000) echelle spectra of the intermediate mass, pre-main sequence stars BF Ori, SV Cep, WW Wul and XY Per. The spectra cover the range 3800-5900 angstroms and monitor the stars on time scales of months and days. All spectra show a large number of Balmer and metallic lines with variable blueshifted and redshifted absorption features superimposed to the photospheric stellar spectra. Synthetic Kurucz models are used to estimate rotational velocities, effective temperatures and gravities of the stars. The best photospheric models are subtracted from each observed spectrum to determine the variable absorption features due to the circumstellar gas; those features are characterized in terms of their velocity, v, dispersion velocity, Delta v, and residual absorption, R_max. The absorption components detected in each spectrum can be grouped by their similar radial velocities and are interpreted as the signature of the dynamical evolution of gaseous clumps with, in most cases, solar-like chemical composition. This infalling and outflowing gas has similar properties to the circumstellar gas observed in UX Ori, emphasizing the need for detailed theoretical models, probably in the framework of the magnetospheric accretion scenario, to understand the complex environment in Herbig Ae (HAe) stars. WW Vul is unusual because, in addition to infalling and outflowing gas with properties similar to those observed in the other stars, it shows also transient absorption features in metallic lines with no obvious counterparts in the hydrogen lines. This could, in principle, suggest the presence of CS gas clouds with enhanced metallicity around WW Vul. The existence of such a metal-rich gas component, however, needs to be confirmed by further observations and a more quantitative analysis.

description: This paper develops a dynamic oligopoly model of participation in a corporate social responsibility marketing initiative that defines quality standards for products advertised to children. Participation requires that firms either adopt initiative standards by investing in product quality or stop advertising products categorized as substandard quality. To test the model we estimate consumer demand for breakfast cereal using a panel of household purchase and television advertising data, then use it to investigate the incentives to participate in a costly initiative that improves the health quality of kids’ cereals. Model predictions demonstrate the conditions under which firms are incentivized to choose participation and to reformulate their product to meet the quality standard. The application also forecasts market evolution and investigates the impact of the kids’ health initiative on demand for calories, as well as firm profitability and consumer economic welfare. We compare these results to a mandatory quality compliance policy, and to business without an initiative, thus illustrating the costs and benefits of the three policy approaches.

description: We exploit scanner data to track payment choice for grocery purchases for a large panel of households over three years. We particularly focus on the role of expenditure size in determining payment choice. While the use of a long panel for these purposes is novel, the introduction of household fixed effects has little effect on our estimates.
Gravitational radiation reaction in compact binary systems: Contribution of the magnetic dipole-magnetic dipole interaction

description: We study the gravitational radiation reaction in compact binary systems composed of neutron stars with spin and huge magnetic dipole moments (magnetars). The magnetic dipole moments undergo a precessional motion about the respective spins. At sufficiently high values of the magnetic dipole moments, their interaction generates second post-Newtonian order contributions both to the equations of motion and to the gravitational radiation escaping the system. We parametrize the radial motion and average over a radial period in order to find the secular contributions to the energy and magnitude of the orbital angular momentum losses, in the generic case of \textit{eccentric} orbits. Similarly as for the spin-orbit, spin-spin, quadrupole-monopole interactions, here too we deduce the secular evolution of the relative orientations of the orbital angular momentum and spins. These equations, supplemented by the evolution equations for the angles characterizing the orientation of the dipole moments form a first order differential system, which is closed. The circular orbit limit of the energy loss agrees with Ioka and Taniguchi's earlier result.

description: Recently, Cd3As2 has attracted intensive research interest as an archetypical Dirac semimetal, hosting three-dimensional linear-dispersive electronic bands near the Fermi level. Previous studies have shown that single-crystalline Cd3As2 has an anomalously low lattice thermal conductivity, ranging from 0.3 W/mK to 0.7 W/mK at 300 K, which has been attributed to point defects. In this work, we combine first-principles lattice dynamics calculations and temperature-dependent high-resolution Raman spectroscopy of high-quality single-crystal thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy to reveal the existence of a group of soft optical phonon modes at the Brillouin zone center of Cd3As2. These soft phonon modes significantly increase the scattering phase space of heat-carrying acoustic phonons and are the origin of the low lattice thermal conductivity of Cd3As2. Furthermore, we show that the interplay between the phonon-phonon Umklapp scattering rates and the soft optical phonon frequency explains the unusual non-monotonic temperature dependence of the lattice thermal conductivity of Cd3As2. Our results further suggest that the soft phonon modes are potentially induced by a Kohn anomaly associated with the Dirac nodes, in analogy to similar, nonetheless weaker, effects in graphene and Weyl semimetals.
