description: Disordered solids often change their elastic response as they slowly age. Using experiments and simulations, we study how aging disordered planar networks under an applied stress affects their nonlinear elastic response. We are able to modify dramatically the elastic properties of our systems in the non-linear regime. Using simulations, we study two models for the microscopic evolution of properties of such a material; the first considers changes in the material strength while the second considers distortions in the microscopic geometry. Both models capture different aspects of the experiments including the encoding of memories of the aging history of the system and the dramatic effects on the material's nonlinear elastic properties. Our results demonstrate how aging can be used to create complex elastic behavior in the nonlinear regime.

description: Colors are used as effective tools of representing and transferring information. Number of colors in a palette is the direct arbiter of the information conveying capacity. Yet it should be well elaborated, since increasing the entropy by adding colors comes with its cost on decoding. Despite the possible effects upon diverse applications, a methodology for cost-effectiveness evaluation of palettes seems deficient. In this work, this need is being addressed from an information-theoretical perspective, via the articulated metrics and formulae. Besides, the proposed metrics are computed for some developed and known palettes, and observed results are evaluated.

description: This paper examines whether milk prices within Kampala are cointegrated with those in other major towns of Uganda. The period of estimation is from July 2005 to March 2015. We use retail monthly prices for raw milk. We obtained the dataset from Uganda Bureau of Statistics. Using Engel Granger’s two‐step error correction approach, we examine the relationship that exists between prices for raw milk in Kampala and the regional markets. Our analysis provides evidence of a long‐run cointegration relationship between Kampala and Gulu, Mbarara and Masaka milk markets. On the contrary, we failed to reject the null hypothesis of no cointegration between Kampala and Arua, Jinja and Mbale milk markets. Regarding the Granger causality tests, the results reveal that causality mainly originates from the milk supply towns. This implies that milk prices in Uganda are supply driven. The speed of adjustment of the model is 50%, i.e. half of the disequilibrium in the system is corrected in one month time period. These results have important implications for the dairy sector in Uganda. The paper discusses these implications.
Simple peeling of planar maps with application to site percolation

description: The peeling process, which describes a step-by-step exploration of a planar map, has been instrumental in addressing percolation problems on random infinite planar maps. Bond and face percolation on maps with faces of arbitrary degree are conveniently studied via so-called lazy-peeling explorations. During such explorations distinct vertices on the exploration contour may at later stage be identified, making the process less suited to the study of site percolation. To tackle this situation and to explicitly identify site-percolation thresholds, we come back to the alternative "simple" peeling exploration of Angel and uncover deep relations with the lazy-peeling process. Along the way we define and study the random Boltzmann map of the half-plane with a simple boundary for an arbitrary critical weight sequence. Its construction is nontrivial especially in the "dense regime" where the half-planar random Boltzmann map does not possess an infinite simple core.

description: In general, we can not use algebraic or enumerative methods to optimize a quality control (QC) procedure so as to detect the critical random and systematic analytical errors with stated probabilities, while the probability for false rejection is minimum. Genetic algorithms (GAs) offer an alternative, as they do not require knowledge of the objective function to be optimized and search through large parameter spaces quickly. To explore the application of GAs in statistical QC, we have developed an interactive GAs based computer program that designs a novel near optimal QC procedure, given an analytical process. The program uses the deterministic crowding algorithm. An illustrative application of the program suggests that it has the potential to design QC procedures that are significantly better than 45 alternative ones that are used in the clinical laboratories.

description: 3D carbon nanotube hybrid materials containing VO₂ and V₂O₅ evenly distributed onto vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) is reported. Adjustable loading of particles in controllable sizes and shapes onto the VACNTs was developed via a stepwise chemical vapour deposition (CVD) approach. Solid VO(acac)₂ is chosen as vanadium source. CO₂ acts as reactive gas for the pre‐functionalisation of the VACNTs. The process temperature was identified as key parameter to control the deposited vanadium oxide phase. A temperature of 550 °C results in monoclinic VO₂, while 600 °C results in the deposition of V₂O₅ onto the VACNT support. The morphology and the amount of deposited material was found to be dependent on the reactor dimensions and the degree of functionalisation of the carbon support. An increase of the D/G ratio of the VACNT from 0.75 to 1.08 caused by a CO₂ treatment step within the process led to an increase of the particle coverage from a scarce coverage without prior CO₂ treatment to a dense coverage of the VACNT support after 15 min of CO₂ exposure time. Size and crystallinity of the as deposited particles can be further adjusted by a controlled heat treatment after VO(acac)₂ precursor deposition.

description: We calculate X-ray properties of present-day galaxy clusters from hydrodynamical cosmological simulations of the LCDM cosmology and compare these with recent X-ray observations. Results from three simulations are presented, each of which uses the same initial conditions: a standard adiabatic, Non-radiative model, a Radiative model that includes radiative cooling of the gas, and a Preheating model that also includes cooling but in addition impulsively heats the gas prior to cluster formation. At the end of the simulations, the global cooled baryon fractions in the latter two runs are 15 per cent and 0.4 per cent respectively which bracket the recent result from the K-band luminosity function. We construct cluster catalogues which consist of over 500 clusters and are complete in mass down to 1.18*10^{13} Msun/h. While clusters in the Non-radiative model behave in accord with the self-similar picture, those of the other two models reproduce key aspects of the observed X-ray properties: the core entropy, temperature-mass and luminosity-temperature relations are all in good agreement with recent observations. This agreement stems primarily from an increase in entropy with respect to the Non-radiative clusters. Although the physics affecting the intra-cluster medium is very different in the two models, the resulting cluster entropy profiles are very similar.

description: The coalescence of massive black hole (BH) binaries due to galaxy mergers provides a primary source of low-frequency gravitational radiation detectable by pulsar timing measurements and by the proposed LISA (Laser Interferometry Space Antenna) observatory. We compute the expected gravitational radiation signal from sources at all redshifts by combining the predicted merger rate of galactic halos with recent measurements of the relation between BH mass, M_bh, and the velocity dispersion of its host galaxy, sigma. Our main findings are as follows: (i) the nHz frequency background is dominated by BH binaries at redshifts z<2, and existing limits from pulsar timing data place tight constraints on the allowed normalization and power-law slope of the M_bh-sigma relation or on the fraction of BH binaries that proceed to coalescence; (ii) more than half of all discrete mHz massive BH sources detectable by LISA are likely to originate at redshifts z>7; (iii) the number of LISA sources per unit redshift per year should drop substantially after reionization as long as BH formation is triggered by gas cooling in galaxies. Studies of the highest redshift sources among the few hundred detectable events per year, will provide unique information about the physics and history of black hole growth in galaxies.

description: Small food producers are often advised to collaborate with other small food producers to solve marketing and sales activity jointly. The small food producers have to operate many different activities to run their company, so the idea to collaborate may help them to work more efficient. However, good ideas is not always enough and many network of small food producers struggle to succeed. In a case study of different small food producers and producers of food specialties and local food, we studied the collaboration between the producers. We found networks, which had developed over time and seemed to function well while other networks still struggled after years with collaboration. A closer look at the different participants in the network uncovered that the different producers had different goals or opinions of what function the network should have. It became even more difficult when the activities in the network had a price label, because the producers conduct the functions themselves without calculating the costs. The findings resulted in the development of the network staircase model. We identified five different steps of collaboration based the function/goal of the network, producer requirements and obligations. We labelled the steps as community of interest, marketing collaboration, sales collaboration, distribution collaboration and a fifth step of sales management. The farther up the stairs, the more commitment will be on the participants. When they start sales collaboration, someone have to conduct activities and need salary. The investigations revealed that struggling networks seemed to have participants on different steps in the stair; some wanted marketing collaboration and other wanted distribution collaboration. They had never asked the fundamental question of what each of them wanted and if the network could help them solve these functions. The more successful networks had made statements of what kind of functions the network should perform. The network staircase model may help small food producers and even other small firms to discuss and clarify what function the network can have for them. Small food producers are diverse and we cannot expect everyone to fit into a particular network, and certainly should everyone be able to choose a network appropriate to their needs. This also indicates that there may be good reasons for small food producers to stay outside seemingly suitable network in their area. The network staircase may serve as a tool for advisors to help the small food producers in their development processes. Different producers have different opinions of the purpose of the network, and they will find themselves at different steps of this staircase.

description: The objective of the paper is to provide an overview of the situation and performance of Croatian farms. Croatian farmers rarely keep business books and therefore farm level business data are deficient. Croatian accession to the European Union in 2013 brought numerous innovations to agricultural sector. One is introduction of Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) which aims to determine the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy on national agriculture of EU member states. The sample of Croatian FADN comprises 1,250 commercial farms. The paper brings results of agricultural sector financial analysis for the period 2011-2013. Total farm output decreased, but since the stronger decrease trend occurred in total inputs, this led to positive trend of gross and net farm income in the year 2013. Positive results are also shown at efficiency and productivity of Croatian farms. In the years 2011 and 2012 farms operated below the efficiency level while in 2013 efficiency increased above the efficiency level. In the observed period there was a 70% increase in productivity. The analysis shows that the most efficient farms are those in vegetables and flowers type. It also has the highest debt ratio due to their capital intensiveness. The vegetable and floriculture farms have the largest gross farm income in all three analysed years, but with a large drop in 2013, while the farms in type pigs and poultry have largest increase of gross farm income in last observed year.

description: Recent experiments with electrolytes driven through conical nanopores give evidence of strong rectified current response. In such devices, the asymmetry in the confinement is responsible of the non-Ohmic response, suggesting that the interplay of entropic and enthalpic forces plays a major role. Here we propose a theoretical model to shed light on the physical mechanism underlying ionic current rectification (ICR). By use of an effective description of the ionic dynamics we explore the system's response in different electrostatic regimes. We show that the rectification efficiency, as well as the channel selectivity, is driven by the surface-to-bulk conductivity ratio Dukhin length rather than the electrical double layer overlap.

description: Milk production in developed countries is based mostly on large farms due to the fact that during the development of cattle husbandry on the private farms in the last decades number of producers declined while the number of cows increased. Since the milk production in Vojvodina Province is likely to be based mostly on private farms in the future as well, one of the possible ways to reach the similar level of competitiveness as developed European countries is to gain and increase the concentration of cows on the farms. In the paper organizational and economic aspects of milk production have been analyzed on three private farms with more than 50 cows in Vojvodina Province.

description: We present here a comparison between collision-streaming and finite-difference lattice Boltzmann (LB) models. This study provides a derivation of useful formulae which help one to properly compare the simulation results obtained with both LB models. We consider three physical problems: the shock wave propagation, the damping of shear waves, and the decay of Taylor-Green vortices, often used as benchmark tests. Despite the different mathematical and computational complexity of the two methods, we show how the physical results can be related to obtain relevant quantities.

description: microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development and can control gene expression via directly targeting or regulating DNA methylation. This research aims to analyse the mechanism of miR-93-5p on HCC progression. miR-93-5p, Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4 (ERBB4) and ten-eleven translocation methyl-cytosine dioxygenases (TET1, TET2 and TET3) abundances were measured via quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. The binding interaction was examined by dual-luciferase reporter analysis and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed via Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and flow cytometry. The DNA methylation of ERBB4 was detected via specific polymerase chain reaction. SNU-449 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the BALB/c nude mice to establish the in vivo model for HCC, and the in vivo function of miR-93-5p was analysed by intratumoral injections of miR-93-5p antogomir. miR-93-5p abundance was enhanced and ERBB4 level was reduced in HCC tumour tissues of 62 patients and HCC cell lines, in contrast with that in paired normal tissues of 62 patients and normal cell lines. ERBB4 was targeted by miR-93-5p. miR-93-5p knockdown or ERBB4 overexpression repressed HCC cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis via decreasing cell viability and colony ability and inducing cycle arrest. ERBB4 silence attenuated the influence of miR-93-5p knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis. ERBB4 promoter DNA methylation level was enhanced in HCC samples and cell lines, and ERBB4 abundance was increased via TETs (TET1, TET2 and TET3). miR-93-5p targeted TETs to modulate ERBB4 abundance. TETs silence relieved the influence of miR-93-5p knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis. miR-93-5p knockdown decreased HCC growth in a xenograft model. miR-93-5p knockdown repressed the progression of HCC via increasing ERBB4 and TETs-dependent DNA demethylation.

Para isso existem um conjunto de fatores e intervenções que permitem esse investimento, e que algumas vezes vão além dos conceitos mais estritos de saúde. No entanto, o conceito de bem-estar sempre marcou e fez parte do conceito de saúde (WHO, 1998) O conceito de bem-estar está relacionado com "os aspetos positivos da vida de uma pessoa, como emoções positivas e satisfação de vida” (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, And Medicine, 2020).

description: Rural economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), which is shaped and supported by agribusiness development, has been faced with several goals, that are very important for development of the country, and those are the following: to create possibilities for income creation in agricultural sector, to support process of the refugees' return as well as to „unload“ urban settlements, to enable appropriate quantities of healthy food under competitive prices, to strengthen domestic market by decrease of food trade debalance, to enable development of tourism as well as other corresponding economic branches. Stabilization and Association Agreement sets additional challenges in front of rural community and agribusiness sector. The agribusiness sector and rural economy have to be ready for adaptation according to new legislative as well as EU standards, which requires a huge transfer of technology as well as strengthening of human resource potentials. Policy of agricultural and rural development in Bosnia and Herzegovina could be well followed by analysis of the budgets made by particular strategies' decision makers and this analysis is one of the main topics this paper is dealing with. Beside analysis of funds assigned to rural sector and agricultural development, it is also important to analyze utilization of those resources, because the basic problem of B&H agrarian policy is not only in lack of resources, but in utilization of modern policy instruments oriented toward capacity improvement as well as establishment of the business operation environment.

Subjects: subject: spatial planning

subject: coastal marine ecosystems

description: Coastal marine ecosystems are vital for their ecological, economic, and cultural value but have faced severe threats and significant habitat losses. Restoration efforts have gained momentum due to their benefits, including coastal protection, food provisioning, and carbon storage, leading to global initiatives like the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). Despite some successes, restoration has faced failures due to poor site selection and anthropogenic impacts, underscoring the need to understand biophysical and socio-economic factors for effective actions. Tools like the IUCN's Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM), the Society for Ecological Restoration of Australasia's Standards, and The Nature Conservancy's Shellfish Reef Guidelines provide frameworks for successful restoration planning. However, a comprehensive understanding of feasibility, crucial for cost-effectiveness analyses, is lacking in coastal marine restoration. Quantifying individual feasibility factors will improve site selection and provide robust cost-effectiveness estimates, making coastal marine restoration an important case study for this approach. This thesis aims to understand how feasibility can be comprehensively incorporated into spatial planning for coastal marine restoration. We first review how feasibility has been analysed and quantified in past conservation and restoration research and define feasibility in the context of restoration. Then using mangrove restoration as a case study, we conceptualise feasibility from a spatial planning perspective. We propose a systematic approach to incorporate multiple feasibility factors (biophysical, governance, social, logistical, and resources) into spatial planning to demonstrate how each factor can contribute to the outcome. Next, we use existing data to analyse feasibility at a broad spatial scale, determining feasibility rankings for restoration planning units and comparing the change in ranking between individual feasibility factors and joint feasibility factors. Then, we select a high-ranking planning unit to perform a fine scale feasibility analysis with the inclusion of multiple feasibility factors and apply a sensitivity assessment on three different approaches to quantifying and calculating feasibility. The thesis highlights the importance of considering feasibility factors at different stages of restoration planning and provides insight into what factors could be considered at both broad and fine spatial scale. The thesis underscores the difficulty in obtaining comprehensive data for feasibility assessments, particularly for social and resource feasibility factors. In conclusion, we demonstrate a systematic and comprehensive approach for practitioners and managers to incorporate feasibility into spatial planning for restoration.

description: This thesis examines three plausible explanations for the natural resource curse phenomenon– the Dutch disease, institutional quality, and human capital. The phenomenon implies that countries rich in natural resources tend to have lower economic growth and development compared to countries that have fewer natural resources. The examination of this phenomenon has been organised into three empirical essays in the thesis. The first empirical essay applies the panel data fixed effect with Driscoll and Kraay’s standard errors and cross-sectional augmented distributed lag (CS-ARDL) approaches to examine the Dutch disease problem. Our results show strong evidence that the spending and the resource movement effects of the Dutch disease, particularly in oil-rich developing countries, negatively affect economic growth and development. The second empirical essay assesses the role of institutional quality in reducing the resource curse. Using the CS-ARDL approach and oil rents as a proxy for natural resources, the results show that oil is a blessing as it results in high economic growth but may become a curse for poor quality institutions, especially in oil-rich developing countries. The objective of the third empirical essay is to explore whether natural resources increase the spread of and deaths from infectious diseases, using the CS-ARDL and common correlated effect (CCE) approaches in a panel data a sample of 37 Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. The findings of this chapter strongly evince that natural resource rents are associated with higher death rates from acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), tuberculosis (TB), and prevalence of anaemia, confirming the resource curse. The results recommend that policymakers of countries affected by the resource curse problem should diversify their economy away from the natural resources sector, improve institutional quality, and increase investment in human capital. This helps to convert the resource curse into a blessing and leads to higher rates of economic growth.

description: We investigate the relationship between a diffusive motion of an interface, heat conduction, and the roughening transition in the three-dimensional Ising model. We numerically compute the thermal conductivity and the diffusion constant and find that the diffusion constant shows a crossover in its temperature dependence. The crossover temperature is equal to the roughening transition temperature in equilibrium and deviates from it when heat flows in the system. From these results, we discuss the possibility that heat conduction causes a shift of the roughening transition temperature.

description: Museums are often regarded as respected places of learning; however, they have played a significant role creating and disseminating stereotypes about Indigenous People by misrepresenting them and their cultures. This, coupled with the often violent way that material culture has been collected, has left museums with legacies that can be harmful and unwelcoming to Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous activism both within and outside heritage spheres has led to documents such as UNDRIP, which affirm Indigenous sovereignties and rights to their culture and heritage, and have set a new precedent for how museums should operate and represent Indigenous cultures. This thesis examines eight museums from across Canada, the USA, and Germany to understand how they are engaging with the Indigenous Nations they represent, and further, how they are counteracting their legacies. This is coupled with the observation of the first stage of Creating Context, a community-project that brought Nunatsiavummiut to Germany to reconnect with material culture in two museum’s care. It was found that the establishment of meaningful relationships is based in trust, and brought to action with three guiding principles (1) ontological empathy; (2) power-shifting and (3) culturally specific care protocol. These themes are foundational in guiding museums toward a better museum practice.

description: The classical Euler–Bernoulli beam model and Kirchhoff plate model are very useful on the macroscopic scale. In the context of Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory, this article aims to develop the criteria of the applicability of nanoscale Euler–Bernoulli beam and Kirchhoff plate models based on the Timoshenko beam model and the Mindlin plate model via the wave propagation theory. The corresponding governing differential equations for the nanoscale Timoshenko beam and Mindlin plate are derived by the Hamilton’s principle, and the dispersion equations of wave are then obtained. By applying Taylor expansion to the corresponding solutions of the dispersion equations, new criteria are developed, simultaneously taking into account the effects of nonlocal parameters and material properties. When the nonlocal parameter is set to zero, the present criteria may be readily degenerated to their macroscopic counterparts. According to the present criteria, this article systematically evaluates the existing studies in literature. Various works in literature did not consider the effect of the nonlocal parameter, and hence, failed to satisfy the application conditions of the Euler–Bernoulli beam and Kirchhoff plate models on the nanoscale. The work in this article is of scientific significance to various studies on nanostructures.
Stellar-Mass Black Holes in the Solar Neighborhood

description: We search for nearby, isolated, accreting, ``stellar-mass'' (3 to $100M_\odot$) black holes. Models suggest a synchrotron spectrum in visible wavelengths and some emission in X-ray wavelengths. Of 3.7 million objects in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release, about 150,000 objects have colors and properties consistent with such a spectrum, and 87 of these objects are X-ray sources from the ROSAT All Sky Survey. Thirty-two of these have been confirmed not to be black-holes using optical spectra. We give the positions and colors of these 55 black-hole candidates, and quantitatively rank them on their likelihood to be black holes. We discuss uncertainties the expected number of sources, and the contribution of blackholes to local dark matter.

description: Halal food represents the type of food produced according to Islamic laws. These laws forbid consummation of following food: pig meat and pig products, alcohol, blood and specific additives. Halal certificate guarantees the standard of animal breeding, way of slaughtering, technological processing of meat and meat products according to demands of halal quality, respecting cultural and religious values of Islamic community. Halal certificate means production according to highest hygienic, veterinarian and sanitary standards, production without any components or ingredients forbidden to consumers of Islamic religion. Halal standard is compatible with other valid standards (HACCP etc.) related to food hygiene and safety. In this paper, authors are researching the significance of food produced by halal standard, meant for consumers of Islamic religion, whose number in the world is approximately 1,8 billions (2007). They have spent the total value of 280 billions of dollars on food (2007). Special attention has been given to research of absorb power of these countries for beef, sheep and chicken meat. At the end, the perspective of meat production and export from the Republic of Serbia to Halal market has been shown.

description: The necessity of state taking care of its own agriculture is needless to explain particularly. The agriculture еnsures food security. Agricultural production is the main source of raw material for food industry. Therefore, its position in economic policy documents must be secured. This documents are legal framework for operationalization activities which comprise set of development priorities and tasks. Agricultural sector has a significant role in serbian economy. It takes a considerable part in GDP. Substantial financial support for agriculture is provided from the national budget. In past few years, budgetary support to agriculture and rural development differ according to its volume and structure. In 2009, these transfers are substantially lower than in last few years, which will have negative influece on agricultural production.This paper comprises a brief review of the role of agriculture in economic policy in 2009.
A fourth explanation to Brooks' Law - The aspect of group developmental psychology

description: Brooks' Law is often referred to in practice and states that adding manpower to a late software project makes it even later. Brooks' himself gave three explanation only related to concrete task-related issues, like introducing new members to the work being done, communication overheads, or difficulty dividing some programming tasks. Through a description of group developmental psychology we argue for a fourth explanation to the law by suggesting that the group will fall back in its group development when new members are added, resulting in rework setting group norms, group goals, defining roles etc. that will also change over time. We show that this fourth explanation is important when trying to understanding Brooks' Law, and that adding the group developmental perspective might help software development organizations in managing projects.

description: Paper proposes a model of large networks based on a random preferential attachment graph with addition of complete subgraphs (cliques). The proposed model refers to models of random graphs following the nonlinear preferential attachment rule and takes into account the possibility of «adding» entire communities of nodes to the network. In the derivation of the relations that determine the vertex degree distribution, the technique of finite-difference equations describing stationary states of a graph is used. The obtained results are tested empirically (by generating large graphs), special cases correspond to known mathematical relations.
