description: We estimate impacts of rainfall and temperature on corn yields by fitting a linear spline model with endogenous thresholds. Using Gibbs sampling and the Metropolis - Hastings algorithm, we simultaneously estimate the thresholds and other model parameters. A hierarchical structure is applied to capture county-specific factors determining corn yields. Results indicate that impacts of both rainfall and temperature are nonlinear and asymmetric in most states. Yield is concave in both weather variables. Corn yield decreases significantly when temperature increases beyond a certain threshold, and when the amount of rainfall decreases below a certain threshold. Flooding is another source of yield loss in some states. A moderate amount of heat is beneficial to corn yield in northern states, but not in other states. Both the levels of the thresholds and the magnitudes of the weather effects are estimated to be different across states in the Corn Belt.
On the $L^p$ index of spin Dirac operators on conical manifolds

description: We compute the index of the Dirac operator on spin Riemannian manifolds with conical singularities, acting from $L^p(Σ^+)$ to $L^q(Σ^-)$ with $p,q>1$. When $1+\frac{n}{p}-\frac{n}{q}>0$ we obtain the usual Atiyah-Patodi-Singer formula, but with a spectral cut at $\frac{n+1}{2}-\frac{n}{q}$ instead of 0 in the definition of the eta invariant. In particular we reprove Chou's formula for the $L^2$ index. For $1+\frac{n}{p}-\frac{n}{q}\leq 0$ the index formula contains an extra term related to the Calderón projector.

description: In the \textsc{Waypoint Routing Problem} one is given an undirected capacitated and weighted graph $G$, a source-destination pair $s,t\in V(G)$ and a set $W\subseteq V(G)$, of \emph{waypoints}. The task is to find a walk which starts at the source vertex $s$, visits, in any order, all waypoints, ends at the destination vertex $t$, respects edge capacities, that is, traverses each edge at most as many times as is its capacity, and minimizes the cost computed as the sum of costs of traversed edges with multiplicities. We study the problem for graphs of bounded treewidth and present a new algorithm for the problem working in $2^{O(\mathrm{tw})}\cdot n$ time, significantly improving upon the previously known algorithms. We also show that this running time is optimal for the problem under Exponential Time Hypothesis.

description: Predictive business process monitoring (PBPM) techniques predict future process behaviour based on historical event log data to improve operational business processes. Concerning the next activity prediction, recent PBPM techniques use state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) to learn predictive models for producing more accurate predictions in running process instances. Even though organisations measure process performance by key performance indicators (KPIs), the DNN`s learning procedure is not directly affected by them. Therefore, the resulting next most likely activity predictions can be less beneficial in practice. Prescriptive business process monitoring (PrBPM) approaches assess predictions regarding their impact on the process performance (typically measured by KPIs) to prevent undesired process activities by raising alarms or recommending actions. However, none of these approaches recommends actual process activities as actions that are optimised according to a given KPI. We present a PrBPM technique that transforms the next most likely activities into the next best actions regarding a given KPI. Thereby, our technique uses business process simulation to ensure the control-flow conformance of the recommended actions. Based on our evaluation with two real-life event logs, we show that our technique`s next best actions can outperform next activity predictions regarding the optimisation of a KPI and the distance from the actual process instances.

description: We show that spectral fluctuation of interaction matrices of yeast a core protein interaction network and a metabolic network follows the description of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) of random matrix theory (RMT). Furthermore, we demonstrate that while the global biological networks evaluated belong to GOE, removal of interactions between constituents transitions the networks to systems of isolated modules described by the Poisson statistics of RMT. Our results indicate that although biological networks are very different from other complex systems at the molecular level, they display the same statistical properties at large scale. The transition point provides a new objective approach for the identification of functional modules.

description: We propose new perspective in searching for axion-like particles (ALPs) from quark and lepton flavor physics: measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to K_S^0 π^0 γ$ and the branching ratio of $B_s \to e^\pm μ^\mp$ decay possess, along with the anomalous magnetic moment of muon. In the mass range of sub-GeV, accessible by the flavorful ALPs search, the experimental sensitivity for these flavor observables reaches the maximum at around the pion mass scale (called the {\it sweetest} spots), where a couple of loopholes (unexplored regions) for the ALP parameter space have heretofore been present, because of an unavoidable contamination with pion background events. The proposed complementary probes can precisely determine the ALP coupling to photon at these {\it sweetest} spots/loopholes, and will significantly help cover whole parameter spaces in the ALP search including the present loopholes in the future.

description: We discuss how the renormalization group can be used to derive effective nuclear interactions. Starting from the model-independent low-momentum interaction V_{low k}, we successively integrate out high-lying particle and hole states from momentum shells around the Fermi surface as proposed by Shankar. The renormalization group approach allows for a systematic calculation of induced interactions and yields similar contributions to the scattering amplitude as the two-body parquet equations. We review results for the 1S0 and 3P2 superfluid pairing gaps as well as the spin dependence of effective interactions in neutron matter. Implications for the cooling of neutron stars are discussed.

description: This report updates the findings in Du and Hayes 2009 by extending the data to December 2010 and concludes that over the sample period from January 2000 to December 2010, the growth in ethanol production reduced wholesale gasoline prices by $0.25 per gallon on average. The Midwest region experienced the biggest impact, with a $0.39/gallon reduction, while the East Coast had the smallest impact at $0.16/gallon. Based on the data of 2010 only, the marginal impacts on gasoline prices are found to be substantially higher given the much higher ethanol production and crude oil prices. The average effect increases to $0.89/gallon and the regional impact ranges from $0.58/gallon in the East Coast to $1.37/gallon in the Midwest. In addition, we report on a related analysis that asks what would happen to US gasoline prices if ethanol production came to an immediate halt. Under a very wide range of parameters, the estimated gasoline price increase would be of historic proportions, ranging from 41% to 92%.

description: This study examines the role that food consumer cooperatives play in the local food networks. Data are collected from three case studies with leading food cooperatives and a national survey of the general managers of food cooperatives. We identify the emerging business practices in local sourcing as a differentiation and member recruitment strategy for food cooperatives. Our analysis identifies several clusters of strategies used for local food procurement, based on the extent to which the co-op is involved in procurement activities upstream (at the farm), mid-stream (at the distribution center) or downstream (at the food cooperative). The results also show that when compared to other grocers, food co-ops have clear advantages in working with local producers and oftentimes play a key role in the producers’ business viability.
Intra-day solar irradiation forecast using RLS filters and satellite images

description: Satellite-based solar irradiation forecasting is useful for short-term intra-day time horizons, outperforming numerical weather predictions up to 3-4 hours ahead. The main techniques for solar satellite forecast are based on sophisticated cloud motion estimates from geostationary satellite images. This work explores the use of satellite information in a simpler way, namely spatial averages that require almost no preprocessing. Adaptive auto-regressive models are used to assess the impact of this information on the forecasting performance. A complete analysis regarding model selection, the satellite averaging window size and the inclusion of satellite past measurements is provided. It is shown that: (i) satellite spatial averages are useful inputs and the averaging window size is an important parameter, (ii) satellite lags are of limited utility and spatial averages are more useful than weighted time averages, and (iii) there is no value in fine-tuning the orders of auto-regressive models for each time horizon, as the same performance can be obtained by using a fixed well-selected order. These ideas are tested for a region with intermediate solar variability, and the models succeed to outperform a proposed optimal smart persistence, used here as an exigent performance benchmark.

description: The objective of this paper is to assess the effect of Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) varieties on cotton yield and the amount of insecticides used in cotton field in Burkina- Faso upon the adoption of Bt cotton after 2005. In the paper, we use a simple version of a Muth model to assess the welfare effect of the adoption of Bt cotton in Burkina- Faso. Using the survey data from SOFITEX, SOCOMA and Faso Coton, we consider a single output and five inputs under the conditions of competitive markets. The results show a rise in yield and a reduction in the amount of insecticides used upon the adoption of Bt cotton in Burkina-Faso. In terms of welfare effect , an increase in the consumer surplus, in the producer surpluses of Seed company, fertilizer and herbicide supplier, workers and “ land owners”; but a decrease in the producer surplus of the insecticides suppliers are found.

description: I argue that certain bosonic insulator-superfluid phase transitions as an interaction constant varies are driven by emergent geometric properties of insulating states. The {\em renormalized} chemical potential and distribution of disordered bosons define the geometric aspect of an effective low energy Hamiltonian which I employ to study various resonating states and quantum phase transitions. In a mean field approximation, I also demonstrate that the quantum phase transitions are in the universality class of a percolation problem.

description: RoomShift is a room-scale dynamic haptic environment for virtual reality, using a small swarm of robots that can move furniture. RoomShift consists of nine shape-changing robots: Roombas with mechanical scissor lifts. These robots drive beneath a piece of furniture to lift, move and place it. By augmenting virtual scenes with physical objects, users can sit on, lean against, place and otherwise interact with furniture with their whole body; just as in the real world. When the virtual scene changes or users navigate within it, the swarm of robots dynamically reconfigures the physical environment to match the virtual content. We describe the hardware and software implementation, applications in virtual tours and architectural design and interaction techniques.

Hydraulic geometry of secondary channels of lower Fraser River, British Columbia, from acoustic Doppler velocimetry
Creators: name: Ellis, Erica R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The hydraulics and morphology of secondary channels within the lower Fraser River gravel reach have been examined using data collected during the 2002 freshet utilising an acoustic Doppler current profiler with integrated GPS. A range of sub-reach types was sampled, corresponding to position within an individual secondary channel. Surface and sub-surface grain size distribution data were collected as well. Sub-reach averaged water surface width, mean hydraulic depth and mean velocity data generally conformed well (R2 > 0.9) to the form of classical at-a-station hydraulic geometry relations, at higher flow. Spatial and frequency distributions of near-bottom velocity and channel depth were examined. In general, sub-reach types stratified along gradients of width, depth, velocity and sedimentology, although there were exceptions. Additional data collected at high flow were used to generate bankfull scaling relations for secondary channels in the gravel reach. Again, the data conform well to a simple power law, up to and including data points from the main channel. The water surface width to discharge relation agrees with work by Bray (1973) in Alberta gravel bed rivers and with the more general trend of a one-half power relation. However, the mean hydraulic depth to discharge relation (and by continuity, the mean velocity to discharge relation) deviate from previous results. Data collection in the field was somewhat facilitated by the use of the acoustic Doppler current profiler but post-processing time requirements were high and, ultimately, the operating frequency led to certain sampling problems. Issues surrounding the use of these instruments in river channels are discussed.

description: A deep neural network of multiple nonlinear layers forms a large function space, which can easily lead to overfitting when it encounters small-sample data. To mitigate overfitting in small-sample classification, learning more discriminative features from small-sample data is becoming a new trend. To this end, this paper aims to find a subspace of neural networks that can facilitate a large decision margin. Specifically, we propose the Orthogonal Softmax Layer (OSL), which makes the weight vectors in the classification layer remain orthogonal during both the training and test processes. The Rademacher complexity of a network using the OSL is only $\frac{1}{K}$, where $K$ is the number of classes, of that of a network using the fully connected classification layer, leading to a tighter generalization error bound. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed OSL has better performance than the methods used for comparison on four small-sample benchmark datasets, as well as its applicability to large-sample datasets.

Isto posto, esse trabalho teve a finalidade mensurar o quão arriscado é a atividade de uma propriedade rural. Os resultados indicaram que os riscos são de fato bastante elevados; todavia, identificou-se que o fator gerencial é importante para os riscos permaneçam altos, ou seja, decisões gerenciais são capazes alterar esse quadro como elevar retornos e/ou reduzir riscos, através de investimentos em equipamentos ou produção de outras culturas na propriedade.--------------------------------------------The Milk agribusiness plays an important role in the agricultural sector, however, has suffered various macroeconomic and sectoral policies effects. Similarly, the milk agribusiness has relevance to the Rondonia State. The characteristic of production inside the state is focused on low productivity monoculture family, and it is possible to infer that the production risks are high. This study had the objective measure risky level in a milk farm. The results indicated that the risks are indeed high, but was identified as well that the managerial factor is important for the risks remain high. The managerial decisions are able to change that framework by raise returns and/or reduce risk through investment in equipment or production of other crops on the property.

description: Understanding the links between the activity of supermassive black holes (SMBH) at the centres of galaxies and their host dark matter haloes is a key question in modern astrophysics. The final data release of the SDSS-IV eBOSS provides the largest contemporary spectroscopic sample of galaxies and QSOs. Using this sample and covering the redshift interval $z=0.7-1.1$, we have measured the clustering properties of the eBOSS QSOs, Emission Line Galaxies (ELGs) and Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs). We have also measured the fraction of QSOs as a function of the overdensity defined by the galaxy population. Using these measurements, we investigate how QSOs populate and sample the galaxy population, and how the host dark-matter haloes of QSOs sample the underlying halo distribution. We find that the probability of a galaxy hosting a QSO is independent of the host dark matter halo mass of the galaxy. We also find that about 60\% of eBOSS QSOs are hosted by LRGs and about 20-40\% of QSOs are hosted by satellite galaxies. We find a slight preference for QSOs to populate satellite galaxies over central galaxies. This is connected to the host halo mass distribution of different types of galaxies. Based on our analysis, QSOs should be hosted by a very broad distribution of haloes, and their occurrence should be modulated only by the efficiency of galaxy formation processes.

description: Signaling pathways and networks determine the ability to communicate in systems ranging from living cells to human society. We investigate how the network structure constrains communication in social-, man-made and biological networks. We find that human networks of governance and collaboration are predictable on teat-a-teat level, reflecting well defined pathways, but globally inefficient. In contrast, the Internet tends to have better overall communication abilities, more alternative pathways, and is therefore more robust. Between these extremes the molecular network of Saccharomyces cerevisea is more similar to the simpler social systems, whereas the pattern of interactions in the more complex Drosophilia melanogaster, resembles the robust Internet.

(Disciplinary) power and the branded (social) body
Creators: name: Desoto, Ashleigh

description: The initial question in this project asks why people might brand their bodies with corporate logos, and more than that, why and how brands have become so preeminent in our cultural firmament; the central questions in this project interrogate the concepts of power, resistance, the individual body, and the political body. I propose that the qualities of power and bodies (individual and social) necessarily generate duality of form and function that allows for both docility and resistance, in addition to many spaces in between. I utilize the theories of discipline, resistance, and the body that Michel Foucault sets forth in his text Discipline and Punish, as well as Theodor Adorno's and Max Horkheimer's ideas about capitalist culture that are passionately elaborated in their essay entitled "The Culture Industry" to create a theoretical framework that connects disciplinary power, the body, and capitalism. Finally, I analyze branding as a case study to explore these concepts in material/symbolic context. Branding is a powerful process that employs the tools of disciplinary mechanics to encourage the consumption of brand images. However, since the branding process depends upon the body (meaning the individual and the social) to communicate its messages, branding is also consistently resisted using the same transmission routes that promote it. This case study confirms the multi-directional possibilities of power relations.

description: Partindo-se da tarifa de água cobrada dos consumidores residenciais de baixa renda no município de Cambe, Estado do Paraná, considerando-se o esquema de tarifas em bloco praticado pelas companhias de água, da renda familiar, do número de habitantes por domicílio, e dos custos marginais de produção de água, este estudo objetiva estimar, através da função demanda residencial por água, quanto os aumentos efetuados nas tarifas cobradas aos usuários residenciais de renda baixa influenciam na quantidade de água demandada por esses usuários. Concluiu-se que a demanda residencial por água explica, para a classe analisada, a hipótese que deveria ser provada. Ou seja, mudanças efetuadas nas tarifas cobradas aos usuários, afetam as quantidades de água demandadas por eles. Tais afirmativas são confirmadas através do coeficiente do parâmetro do preço marginal, confirmando que um aumento no preço da água poderá vir a diminuir a quantidade de água demandada por esse setor residencial, porém em uma proporção menor do que o aumento efetivado na tarifa de água. Portanto, sugere-se que esta classe de renda deva ter um maior subsídio quando do efetivo aumento da tarifa de água. Subsídio este que poderá ser financiado tanto pelo próprio governo ou através de subsídio cruzado, que é o que ocorre atualmente para as faixas de renda menos favorecidas.-----------------------------------------------------Taking water tariff charged to residential consumers in the municipality of Cambé, family income, the number of dwellers per household, and water production marginal costs, and through residential water demand function, this article aims at estimating a residential water demand function, by utilizing four different estimation methods, it is estimated to what extent the increase in water tariff charged to low income residential users can influence water amount demanded by these users. It was concluded that most estimations made for the parameters: marginal price, difference, family income, number of dwellers and number of rooms showed the expected signs and were statistically significant to the level of 1%. From these results it was verified that the residential demand for water explains the hypothesis to be proved for the classes analyzed, i.e. changes made to the tariff charged to users affect their water demanded quantities. Such claims are confirmed through marginal price parameter coefficient, which is negative for most estimated models, confirming that water price increase may diminish water quantity demanded by the residential sector.

description: One of von Neumann's motivations for developing the theory of operator algebras and his and Murray's 1936 classification of factors was the question of possible decompositions of quantum systems into independent parts. For quantum systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom the simplest possibility, i.e., factors of type I in the terminology of Murray and von Neumann, are perfectly adequate. In relativistic quantum field theory (RQFT), on the other hand, factors of type III occur naturally. The same holds true in quantum statistical mechanics of infinite systems. In this brief review some physical consequences of the type III property of the von Neumann algebras corresponding to localized observables in RQFT and their difference from the type I case will be discussed. The cumulative effort of many people over more than 30 years has established a remarkable uniqueness result: The local algebras in RQFT are generically isomorphic to the unique, hyperfinite type ${\rm III}_{1}$ factor in Connes' classification of 1973. Specific theories are characterized by the net structure of the collection of these isomorphic algebras for different space-time regions, i.e., the way they are embedded into each other.

description: O tema da reforma agrária é examinado por três ângulos: a ação do Estado, a demanda existente e o debate acadêmico. A partir da análise de diferentes perspectivas em jogo, indica-se como possível resposta ao título do texto, que sejam concentrados recursos humanos, financeiros e logísticos numa região que cubra a metade norte de Minas Gerais e se estenda até o Maranhão. Os mecanismos de desapropriação e aquisição ali ainda são possíveis por serem mais baratas as terras do Nordeste, levando em conta a escassez de recursos e a necessidade de maximizar a eficácia governamental. Devido à expressiva presença negra, também essa escolha estabelece a transversalidade com a questão étnica. A reforma agrária poderia, assim, torna-se uma política expressiva no Brasil, beneficiando segmentos sociais em maior escala e com resultados efetivos na redução da pobreza rural.------------------------------------The land reform issue is examined by three angles: the state action, the existing demand and the academic debate. From the analysis of different perspectives, indicates as a possible answer to the title of the text, which are concentrated human resources, financial and logistics in a region covering the northern half of Minas Gerais and that extends to Maranhao. The expropriation mechanisms and acquisition are still possible because the land are cheaper in the Northeast, taking into account the scarcity of resources and the need to maximize the governmental effectiveness. Because of the expressive presence of black people, this choice also establish a connection with the ethnic issue. Land reform could thus becomes an expressive policy in Brazil, benefiting social segments on a larger scale and with effective results in the reduction of rural poverty.

description: We present arguments for the existence of both globally regular and black hole solutions of the Einstein equations with a conformally coupled scalar field, in the presence of a negative cosmological constant, for space-time dimensions greater than or equal to four. These configurations approach asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime and are indexed by the central value of the scalar field. We also study the stability of these solutions, and show that, at least for all the solutions studied numerically, they are linearly stable.

description: Cosmological growth can be measured in the redshift space clustering of galaxies targeted by spectroscopic surveys. Accurate prediction of clustering of galaxies will require understanding galaxy physics which is a very hard and highly non-linear problem. Approximate models of redshift space distortion (RSD) take a perturbative approach to solve the evolution of dark matter and galaxies in the universe. In this paper we focus on eBOSS emission line galaxies (ELGs) which live in intermediate mass haloes. We create a series of mock catalogues using haloes from the Multidark and {\sc Outer Rim} dark matter only N-body simulations. Our mock catalogues include various effects inspired by baryonic physics such as assembly bias and the characteristics of satellite galaxies kinematics, dynamics and statistics deviating from dark matter particles. We analyse these mocks using the TNS RSD model in Fourier space and the CLPT in configuration space. We conclude that these two RSD models provide an unbiased measurement of redshift space distortion within the statistical error of our mocks. We obtain the conservative theoretical systematic uncertainty of $3.3\%$, $1.8\%$ and $1.5\%$ in $fσ_8$, $α_{\parallel}$ and $α_{\bot}$ respectively for the TNS and CLPT models. We note that the estimated theoretical systematic error is an order of magnitude smaller than the statistical error of the eBOSS ELG sample and hence are negligible for the purpose of the current eBOSS ELG analysis.

A Transformer-based Embedding Model for Personalized Product Search

description: Product search is an important way for people to browse and purchase items on E-commerce platforms. While customers tend to make choices based on their personal tastes and preferences, analysis of commercial product search logs has shown that personalization does not always improve product search quality. Most existing product search techniques, however, conduct undifferentiated personalization across search sessions. They either use a fixed coefficient to control the influence of personalization or let personalization take effect all the time with an attention mechanism. The only notable exception is the recently proposed zero-attention model (ZAM) that can adaptively adjust the effect of personalization by allowing the query to attend to a zero vector. Nonetheless, in ZAM, personalization can act at most as equally important as the query and the representations of items are static across the collection regardless of the items co-occurring in the user's historical purchases. Aware of these limitations, we propose a transformer-based embedding model (TEM) for personalized product search, which could dynamically control the influence of personalization by encoding the sequence of query and user's purchase history with a transformer architecture. Personalization could have a dominant impact when necessary and interactions between items can be taken into consideration when computing attention weights. Experimental results show that TEM outperforms state-of-the-art personalization product retrieval models significantly.
