description: The impact of agricultural subsidies on productivity has long been discussed in the literature without any clear conclusions. Many studies attempted to shed light on the topic by using various methods and data (mostly relying on geographically limited farm-level data). Depending on the model specification, statistical method and data source mixed results are reported. This study aims at estimating the impact of common agricultural policy Pillar II payments on agricultural productivity by using NUTS-2 (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics) level data for the years 2007-2013 for the European Union member state countries. We use a rather novel approach by simultaneously estimating a Constant Elasticity of Supply production function with productivity coefficients linked to the Pillar II payments. We use 4 categories of Pillar II payments (i.e. human capital, physical capital, agro-environmental and rural development) to explain the total factor productivity in agricultural sector. Our results suggest that regions receiving higher Pillar II payments for physical capital investments, human capital development or agro-environmental measures increase productivity. On the other hand, payments related to rural development do not have significant impact on productivity. The results do not change among the member states, date of access to the European Union (i.e. old or new member states), spatial characteristics (i.e. being in the south, north or east) or size of the countries (i.e. big or small economies).

description: This study presents empirical evidence for the behaviour of Russian exporters in the international fertiliser market. Russia is in the spotlight since the potash cartel has collapsed. In 2012, Russia became the world’s second-largest exporter increasing its potash exports from 1996 to 2012 more than two times. PTM approach developed by Krugman (1986, 1987) is chosen to test the market behaviour. Imperfect competition in the Russian export market for nitrogen fertilisers is revealed in two-thirds of the destination countries under study. In the export market for potash, a sufficiently perfect market is found in only one out of 9 countries.

description: The Euclid mission will observe well over a billion galaxies out to $z\sim6$ and beyond. This will offer an unrivalled opportunity to investigate several key questions for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. The first step for many of these studies will be the selection of a sample of quiescent and star-forming galaxies, as is often done in the literature by using well known colour techniques such as the `UVJ' diagram. However, given the limited number of filters available for the Euclid telescope, the recovery of such rest-frame colours will be challenging. We therefore investigate the use of observed Euclid colours, on their own and together with ground-based u-band observations, for selecting quiescent and star-forming galaxies. The most efficient colour combination, among the ones tested in this work, consists of the (u-VIS) and (VIS-J) colours. We find that this combination allows users to select a sample of quiescent galaxies complete to above $\sim70\%$ and with less than 15$\%$ contamination at redshifts in the range $0.7565\%$ completeness level and contamination below 20$\%$ at $1

description: A demand system is estimated separately for Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. Results showed that rice, the most important staple food in these countries, is a normal good. Food demand elasticity with respect to expenditure is less elastic for higher income country like Thailand while more elastic for lower income country like Myanmar. Market shocks such as a decrease in expenditure or an increase in rice prices tend to have the largest impacts on the prevalence of undernourishment in Myanmar and Vietnam. The study concludes with a recommendation for effective safety net programs.

description: Fluorescence microscopy allows for a detailed inspection of cells, cellular networks, and anatomical landmarks by staining with a variety of carefully-selected markers visualized as color channels. Quantitative characterization of structures in acquired images often relies on automatic image analysis methods. Despite the success of deep learning methods in other vision applications, their potential for fluorescence image analysis remains underexploited. One reason lies in the considerable workload required to train accurate models, which are normally specific for a given combination of markers, and therefore applicable to a very restricted number of experimental settings. We herein propose Marker Sampling and Excite, a neural network approach with a modality sampling strategy and a novel attention module that together enable (i) flexible training with heterogeneous datasets with combinations of markers and (ii) successful utility of learned models on arbitrary subsets of markers prospectively. We show that our single neural network solution performs comparably to an upper bound scenario where an ensemble of many networks is naïvely trained for each possible marker combination separately. In addition, we demonstrate the feasibility of this framework in high-throughput biological analysis by revising a recent quantitative characterization of bone marrow vasculature in 3D confocal microscopy datasets and further confirm the validity of our approach on an additional, significantly different dataset of microvessels in fetal liver tissues. Not only can our work substantially ameliorate the use of deep learning in fluorescence microscopy analysis, but it can also be utilized in other fields with incomplete data acquisitions and missing modalities.

description: We consider the stability of spatially homogeneous plane-wave spacetimes. We carry out a full analysis for plane-wave spacetimes in (4+1) dimensions, and find there are two cases to consider; what we call non-exceptional and exceptional. In the non-exceptional case the plane waves are stable to (spatially homogeneous) vacuum perturbations as well as a restricted set of matter perturbations. In the exceptional case we always find an instability. Also we consider the Milne universe in arbitrary dimensions and find it is also stable provided the strong energy condition is satisfied. This implies that there exists an open set of stable plane-wave solutions in arbitrary dimensions.

description: Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been present within the food industry for years. Past research focuses on consumer’s willingness to pay for GMOs based on labels, and perceived risks and benefits. An online survey with a choice experiment will estimate different willingness to pay estimates for various producers and uses in the US, Germany and Spain. Respondents were divided into five treatment groups and presented with various uses of biotechnology. The choice experiment included price, producer and seedless as attributes for a pound of oranges. Results showed that respondents in all countries required a discount to purchase oranges produced with biotechnology regardless of information treatment or producer type. The discount rate was consistently larger for German participants than US or Spanish participants.

description: Polymerization of actin proteins into dynamic structures is essential to eukaryotic cell life. This has motivated a large body of in vitro experiments measuring polymerization kinetics of individual filaments. Here we model these kinetics, accounting for all relevant steps revealed by experiment: polymerization, depolymerization, random ATP hydrolysis and release of phosphate (Pi). We relate filament growth rates to the dynamics of ATP-actin and ADP-Pi-actin caps which develop at filament ends. At the critical concentration of the barbed end, c_crit, we find a short ATP cap and a long fluctuation-stabilized ADP-Pi cap. We show that growth rates and the critical concentration at the barbed end are intimately related to cap structure and dynamics. Fluctuations in filament lengths are described by the length diffusion coefficient, D. Recently Fujiwara et al. [Nature Cell Biol. (2002) 4, 666] and Kuhn and Pollard [Biohys. J. (2005) 88, 1387] observed large length fluctuations slightly above c_crit, provoking speculation that growth may proceed by oligomeric rather than monomeric on-off events. For the single monomer growth process we find that $D$ exhibits a pronounced peak below c_crit}, due to filaments alternating between capped and uncapped states, a mild version of the dynamic instability of microtubules. Fluctuations just above c_crit are enhanced but much smaller than those reported experimentally. Future measurements of D as a function of concentration can help identify the origin of the observed fluctuations.

description: We present bolometric and broadband light curves and spectra for a suite of core-collapse supernova models exploded self-consistently in spherical symmetry within the PUSH framework. We analyze broad trends in these light curves and categorize them based on morphology. We find these morphological categories relate simply to the progenitor radius and the mass of the hydrogen envelope. We present a proof-of-concept sensitive-variable analysis, indicating that an important determining factor in the properties of a light curve within a given category is $^{56}$Ni mass. We follow spectra from the photospheric to the nebular phase. These spectra show characteristic iron-line blanketing at short wavelengths and Doppler-shifted Fe II and Ti II absorption lines. To enable this analysis, we develop a first-of-its-kind pipeline from a massive progenitor model, through a self-consistent explosion in spherical symmetry, to electromagnetic counterparts. This opens the door to more detailed analyses of the collective properties of these observables. We provide a machine readable database of our light curves and spectra online at go.ncsu.edu/astrodata.

title: Theory and applications of freedom in matroids
Creators: name: Duke, R.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1981

description: To each cell e in a matroid M we can associate a non-negative integer ǁ e ǁ called the freedom of e. Geometrically the value ǁ e ǁ indicates how freely placed the cell is in the matroid. We see that ǁ e ǁ is equal to the degree of the modular cut generated by all the fully-dependent flats of M containing e. The relationship between freedom and basic matroid constructions, particularly one-point lifts and duality, is examined, and the applied to erections. We see that the number of times a matroid M can be erected is related to the degree of the modular cut generated by all the fully-dependent flats of M*. If ζ(M) is the set of integer polymatroids with underlying matroid structure M, then we show that for any cell e of M ǁ e ǁ= \frac{max\ f \ (e)}{f\in\zeta} We look at freedom in binary matroids and show that for a connected binary matroid M, ǁ e ǁ is the number of connected components of M/e. Finally the matroid join is examined and we are able to solve a conjecture of Lovasz and Recski that a connected binary matroid M is reducible if and only if there is a cell e of M with M/e disconnected.

Progressively engaging : how nurses, patients and family members manage relationships in acute care hospital settings
Creators: name: Segaric, Cheryl Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This grounded theory study, informed by symbolic interactionism, explains how nurses, patients, and family members manage relationships in order to plan and provide care in acute care hospital settings. The study also explains the effects of contextual and systemic features associated with acute care environments and participants' personal characteristics on their efforts to manage relationships. Data collection included thirty three hours of participant observation and forty interviews. Seventeen interviews were conducted with nurses, ten with family members, and thirteen with patients. Participants were recruited from a total of ten acute care units across four community hospitals in the Fraser Health Authority of British Columbia; there were four medical units, three surgical units, two transitory care or activation units, and one community hospital intensive care unit. I constructed the basic social psychological process of progressively engaging. The process describes how nurses, patients, and family members manage their relationships during patient care by developing varying levels of engagement. The levels of engagement are represented by three stages, including: focusing on tasks, getting acquainted, and building rapport. Structural conditions and personal factors, relevant to nurses, patients, and family members, facilitate or constrain their efforts to progressively engage by contributing to or detracting from their shared perspectives. Levels of engagement ranged from 'just doing the job' to 'doing the job with heart' or making a deep human connection. Higher levels of engagement achieved in nurse, patient, and family member relationships correspond with more satisfaction expressed by participants about their relationships and nursing care. The substantive theory of progressively engaging makes a significant contribution to the family nursing theory. The process has implications for nursing education, practice, research, and administration.

description: We have made observations of 98 low-Galactic-latitude pulsars to measure pulse broadening caused by multipath propagation through the interstellar medium. Data were collected with the 305-m Arecibo telescope at four radio frequencies between 430 and 2380 MHz. We used a CLEAN-based algorithm to deconvolve interstellar pulse broadening from the measured pulse shapes. We employed two distinct pulse broadening functions (PBFs): PBF$_1$ is appropriate for a thin screen of scattering material between the Earth and a pulsar, while PBF$_2$ is appropriate for scattering material uniformly distributed along the line of sight from the Earth to a pulsar. We found that some observations were better fit by PBF$_1$ and some by PBF$_2$. Pulse broadening times ($τ_d$) are derived from fits of PBFs to the data, and are compared with the predictions of a smoothed model of the Galactic electron distribution. Several lines of sight show excess broadening, which we model as clumps of high density scattering material. A global analysis of all available data finds that the pulse broadening scales with frequency, $ν$, as $\taud \proptoν^{-α}$ where $α\sim 3.9\pm 0.2$. This is somewhat shallower than the value $α=4.4$ expected from a Kolmogorov medium, but could arise if the spectrum of turbulence has an inner cutoff at $\sim $300--800 km. A few objects follow particularly shallow scaling laws (the mean scaling index $\meanalpha \sim 3.1 \pm 0.1$ and $ \sim 3.8 \pm 0.2$ respectively for the case of PBF$_1$ and PBF$_2$), which may arise from large scale refraction or from the truncation of scattering screens transverse to the Earth--pulsar line of sight.

title: Achieving the unachievable : the male athletic body in Hellenistic and Roman art
Creators: name: Smith, Caitlan
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: To date, the ancient athlete has been the focus of philosophical, political, and art historical debate. Scholarship has largely neglected the investigation of the ancient athlete for what he was – an athlete. Thus, this thesis seeks to understand what it meant to be an ancient athlete by illustrating how athletic sculpture can provide insight into the bodies of ancient athletes themselves. It is argued that athletic sculpture set the body ideals that athletes wanted to achieve, and that those bodies were achievable, and examines how they were achieved. This argument is illustrated using three case studies: the Terme Boxer, the Ephesian and Croatian Apoxyomenoi, and the Farnese Hercules as examples of athletic body types. Anatomical analysis of each of these case studies are used to demonstrate how each of these figures anatomically displays a specific athletic body type (i.e. boxer, wrestler, etc.). This examination addresses how these body types would have been achieved in the ancient world, based on analysis of what is currently known about ancient athletic training practices and utilizing modern sports science to fill in the gaps in the ancient record on the athletic regimen. The idealism of ancient sculpture is not ignored, but rather this thesis acknowledges that artists intentionally manipulated sculptural forms to be more aesthetically pleasing, but evidences that important anatomical details of the athletic body were still observed. These anatomical details reflect a direct reference from real athletic bodies that were achievable through the ancient athletic regimen. The objective approach to anatomically viewing sculpture deployed in this dissertation and has not been done to this extent in art historical literature to date. This approach provides the opportunity to expand the current understanding of ancient athletic regimen and the practicalities of the ancient athletic body.

description: White dwarfs are the burnt out cores of Sun-like stars and are the final fate of 97% of all stars in our Galaxy. The internal structure and composition of white dwarfs are hidden by their high gravities, which causes all elements, apart from the lightest ones, to settle out of their atmospheres. The most direct method to probe the inner structure of stars and white dwarfs in detail is via asteroseismology. Here we present the first known pulsating white dwarf in an eclipsing binary system, enabling us to place extremely precise constraints on the mass and radius of the white dwarf from the light curve, independent of the pulsations. This 0.325M$_\odot$ white dwarf --- one member of SDSS J115219.99+024814.4 --- will serve as a powerful benchmark to constrain empirically the core composition of low-mass stellar remnants and investigate the effects of close binary evolution on the internal structure of white dwarfs.

Probing the Low-Energy Electronic Structure of Complex Systems by ARPES

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is one of the most direct methods of studying the electronic structure of solids. By measuring the kinetic energy and angular distribution of the electrons photoemitted from a sample illuminated with sufficiently high-energy radiation, one can gain information on both the energy and momentum of the electrons propagating inside a material. This is of vital importance in elucidating the connection between electronic, magnetic, and chemical structure of solids, in particular for those complex systems which cannot be appropriately described within the independent-particle picture. The last decade witnessed significant progress in this technique and its applications, thus ushering in a new era in photoelectron spectroscopy; today, ARPES experiments with 2 meV energy resolution and 0.2 degree angular resolution are a reality even for photoemission on solids. In this paper we will review the fundamentals of the technique and present some illustrative experimental results; we will show how ARPES can probe the momentum-dependent electronic structure of solids providing detailed information on band dispersion and Fermi surface, as well as on the strength and nature of those many-body correlations which may profoundly affect the one-electron excitation spectrum and, in turn, determine the macroscopic physical properties.

title: The safety of industrially-based controllers incorporating software
Creators: name: Bennett, Philip Anthony
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This thesis is concerned with the safety of industrial controllers which incorporate software. Software safety is compared with software reliability as a means of discussing the special concerns of safety. Definitions are given for the terms hazard, risk, danger and safe. A relationship between these terms has been attempted and the philosophy of safety is discussed. A formal definition of software safety is given. The factors influencing the development of software are examined. The subjectivity of safety is discussed in the context of safety measurement being a conjoint measurement. Methods of assessing the risk resulting from the use of software are described along with a discussion on the impracticability of using state transition diagrams to isolate catastrophic failure conditions. Categories of danger are discussed and three categories are advanced. The structuring of the software for safety is discussed and the principle of using safety modules and integrity locks is proposed. In discussing the reasons for errors remaining present in the software after testing two methods of measurement are suggested; Plexus and Fallibility Index. The need to declare variables is discussed. An experiment involving 119 volunteers was conducted to examine the influence of the length of variable names'on the correct usage. It was found that variables with a character length of 7 have a better probability of correct interpretation than others. The methods of assessing safety are discussed and the measurements proposed were applied to a commercially available product in the form of a Software Safety Audit. It is concluded that some aspects of the safety of controllers incorporating software can be quantified and that further research is needed.

description: This research analyzes national and regional adoption of no-till and strip-till planting systems; cover-crop use; and nitrogen-fertilizer application rates, timing, and methods. Results show that U.S. farmers' adoption of these practices varies widely by crop and region. In addition many farmers are "partial" adopters, adopting these conservation practices on some but not all acres of their farm.

description: Concave pyramids are created in the (100) surface of a silicon wafer by anisotropic etching in potassium hydroxide. High quality micro-mirrors are then formed by sputtering gold onto the smooth silicon (111) faces of the pyramids. These mirrors show great promise as high quality optical devices suitable for integration into MOEMS and atom chips. We have shown that structures of this shape can be used to laser-cool and hold atoms in a magneto-optical trap.

Symmetry enhancement and duality walls in 5d gauge theories

description: Gauge theories in four dimensions can exhibit interesting low energy phenomena, such as infrared enhancements of global symmetry. We explore a class of 4d N=1 gauge theories arising from a construction that is motivated by duality walls in 5d gauge theories. Their quiver descriptions bear a resemblance to 4d theories obtained by compactifying 6d N=(1,0) superconformal field theories on a torus with fluxes, but with lower number of flavours and different number of gauge singlets and superpotentials. One of the main features of these theories is that they exhibit a flavour symmetry enhancement, and with supersymmetry enhancement for certain models, in the infrared. Properties of the superconformal fixed points of such theories are investigated in detail.

"The Charlatan of the Gulf Islands" : Brother XII and progressive occult discourse in the history of British Columbia
Creators: name: Klang, Amanda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The post-war 1920s and 30s were decades of uncertainty in the world, where a resurgence of popular interest in mysticism, magic and other "occult" spiritual practices coincided with the growth of extreme political movements. Between 1927 and 1933, a man known as Brother XII ran a notorious spiritual commune in southern British Columbia, which he identified as the spiritual center of the world. Believing that the destruction of human civilization was immanent, Brother XII claimed that he would shield the survivors and foster a New Age of enlightenment. However, his community soon dissolved amidst sexual and financial scandal, which the popular press eagerly documented. The story of Brother XII has dramatic appeal but also offers insights to scholars of BC history. Whether he knew it or not, in exhorting a group of world-weary spiritual idealists to retreat to the remote wilds of Vancouver Island, Brother XII — otherwise known as Edward Arthur Wilson — was re-articulating a well-worn pattern of intersecting spiritual and political utopianism projected onto community life in British Columbia. In fact, underlying Wilson's dream of a new world was his own radical critique of mainstream society, which was founded on the progressive, occult tradition of theosophy. Wilson's ideals supported extremes of vision. On one hand these included an egalitarian ideal of gender equity and sexual freedom, and on the other, a proto-fascist, anti-Semitic diatribe. Wilson's preoccupation with sex and race also echoed themes that shaped the history of British Columbia, where socially transgressive behavior could exist unchecked, and racial hierarchies were a defining feature of everyday life. This study of Brother XII contributes to a growing body of historical scholarship that is re-assessing the significance of nineteenth- and twentieth-century alternative spiritual movements and arguing for their centrality to the project of modernity. It also argues that the man that has been long dismissed as a kooky footnote in the history of BC actually reveals something important about the intersection of the political and the spiritual in the early twentieth-century world of British Columbia.
