description: A salient feature of stationary patterns in tip-growing cells is the key role played by the symports and antiports, membrane proteins that translocate two ionic species at the same time. It is shown that these co-transporters destabilize generically the membrane voltage if the two translocated ions diffuse differently and carry a charge of opposite (same) sign for symports (antiports). Orders of magnitude obtained for the time and lengthscale are in agreement with experiments. A weakly nonlinear analysis characterizes the bifurcation.

description: U.S. consumption of food commodities is projected to rise through the year 2020, mainly due to an increase in population. But the mix of commodities is expected to shift because of an older and more diverse population, rising income, higher educational attainment, improved diet and health knowledge, and growing popularity of eating out. This study analyzes data from USDA's food consumption survey to project the consumption, through the year 2020, of 25 food groups and 22 commodity groups. Per capita consumption of fish, poultry, eggs, yogurt, fruits, nuts and seeds, lettuce, tomatoes, some other vegetables, grains, and vegetable oils is predicted to rise, whereas consumption of beef, pork, other meat, milk, cheese, potatoes, and sugar is expected to fall. The growth of the at-home and away-from-home markets varies from one commodity to another. Fruit consumption is expected to lead all commodities in growth in the at-home market, and fish consumption is expected to lead in growth in the away-from-home market.

description: Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have some unusual properties and important applications in photonics. A periodic structure sandwiched between two homogeneous media is the most popular platform for observing BICs and realizing their applications. Existing studies on BICs assume the periodic structure has a $C_2$ rotational symmetry about the axis perpendicular to the periodic layer. It is known that all BICs turn to resonant states with finite quality factors if the periodic structure is perturbed by a generic perturbation breaking the $C_2$ symmetry, and a typical BIC continues to exist if the perturbation keeps the $C_2$ symmetry. We study how typical BICs depend on generic structural parameters. For a class of BICs with one opening radiation channel, we show that in the plane of two generic parameters, the BICs exist continuously as a curve. Consequently, BICs can exist on periodic structures without the $C_2$ symmetry, and they can be found by tuning a single structural parameter. The result is established analytically by a perturbation theory with two independent perturbations and validated by numerical examples. Our study reveals a much larger family for BICs on periodic structures, and provides new opportunities for future applications.

description: Many trade and environment issues will confront agriculture over the next several years. This report provides an economic framework to better understand these issues and discusses prior empirical inquiries and findings. Four primary issues are addressed: (1) how will environmental policies affect agricultural trade?; (2) how will agricultural trade liberalization affect environmental quality?; (3) to what extent should there be international harmonization of environmental policies and product standards?; and (4) is there economic justification for using trade measures to protect the environment? This report demonstrates that basic economic paradigms can provide a basis for understanding how trade and the environment interact. The few empirical studies based on these concepts have found many of the linkages between trade and the environment to be weak or the effects small. Trade and environment issues remain important to monitor, however, because economic and environmental relationships and domestic and international policies are continually evolving, and decision-makers need good information to confirm or disprove the numerous hypotheses that have surfaced in international discussions.

description: In dieser Untersuchung wird das Potential von Behavioral Energy Efficiency (BEE) in privaten Haushalten analysiert. Dazu wurde ein Feldexperiment von Oktober 2019 bis Januar 2020 durchgeführt, bei dem 100 Haushalte einen monatlichen Energiereport erhalten haben, der auf ihren Smart Meter Daten (0,5 Hz) und deren Disaggregation basierte. Der Report enthielt zusätzliche Informationen zu jenen, die bereits über eine App zur Verfügung gestellt wurden, wie z. B. normative und historische Vergleiche. Im Ergebnis konnte keine signifikante Änderung im Stromverbrauchsverhalten festgestellt werden. Allerdings verwendeten über 75% den Report regelmäßig und 60% der Teilnehmer gaben an, dass die Erkenntnisse zu einer Änderung ihres Stromverbrauchsverhalten geführt haben. Weiterführende Forschung sollte sich mit der Untersuchung von kurzfristigen Effekten von Feedback oder der Weiterentwicklung von einzelnen Feedbackkomponenten befassen.
description: Im Rahmen der Veröffentlichung dieses Working Papers "Felduntersuchung zu Behavioral Energy Efficiency Potentialen von privaten Haushalten" wird ein Beispieldatensatz veröffentlicht. Dieser begleitende Datensatz umfasst Daten zum Stromverbrauch von 200 Haushalten im Zeitraum vom 01.01.2019 bis zum 31.01.2020. Er unterscheidet sich prinzipiell von den im Working Paper verwendeten Daten. Die Abweichung ist zum einen durch explizites Einverständnis von den Teilnehmern zur Veröffentlichung ihrer Daten begründet. Zum anderen wurden Haushalte gewählt, deren Verbrauchsdaten über den gesamten Zeitraum vollständig sind. Der Datensatz ist in drei einzelne Dateien (csv) unterteilt, deren Aufbau und Variablen im Dokument Datensatzbeschreibung.pdf erläutert werden.

description: This study analyzed the morbidity and mortality rates of the COVID-19 pandemic in different prefectures of Japan. Under the constraint that daily maximum confirmed deaths and daily maximum cases should exceed 4 and 10, respectively, 14 prefectures were included, and cofactors affecting the morbidity and mortality rates were evaluated. In particular, the number of confirmed deaths was assessed excluding the cases of nosocomial infections and nursing home patients. A mild correlation was observed between morbidity rate and population density (R2=0.394). In addition, the percentage of the elderly per population was also found to be non-negligible. Among weather parameters, the maximum temperature and absolute humidity averaged over the duration were found to be in modest correlation with the morbidity and mortality rates, excluding the cases of nosocomial infections. The lower morbidity and mortality are observed for higher temperature and absolute humidity. Multivariate analysis considering these factors showed that determination coefficients for the spread, decay, and combined stages were 0.708, 0.785, and 0.615, respectively. These findings could be useful for intervention planning during future pandemics, including a potential second COVID-19 outbreak.

description: Public amenities provided by a rural agricultural landscape, arising from open space and farm activity, are important to many citizens and policymakers. Widespread development of farmland in some parts of the country has spawned an expanding array of farmland protection programs by county, State, and Federal governments, as well as by nonprofit organizations. To investigate the relative importance of preserving different amenities, this report examines the enabling legislation of these programs across the 48 contiguous States, and the implementation of these programs in five Northeastern States (Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont). The report also assesses how farmland protection programs fit into the broader array of rural land conservation programs.

description: We study the symmetric collisions of two mobile breathers/solitons in a model for coupled wave guides with a saturable nonlinearity. The saturability allows the existence of breathers with high power. Three main regimes are observed: breather fusion, breather reflection and breather creation. The last regime seems to be exclusive of systems with a saturable nonlinearity, and has been previously observed in continuous models. In some cases a ``symmetry breaking'' can be observed, which we show to be an numerical artifact.

description: This paper focuses on the ability of microfinance rating agencies to impose market discipline on microfinance institutions by rating these organizations' performance. Results indicate that not all rating agencies are equal as only one rater was able to impose market discipline by promoting better sustainability, while rating by another agency caused MFIs to slack off. In addition, while rating in general lead to better outreach, this effect was annulled if MFIs received financial aid in order to get rated. Finally, only one rater provided rating that allowed MFIs to raise additional debt

description: We use determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) simulations to study the role of electron-electron interactions on three-dimensional (3D) Dirac fermions based on the $π$-flux model on a cubic lattice. We show that the Hubbard interaction drives the 3D Dirac semimetal to an antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator only above a finite critical interaction strength and the long-ranged AF order persists up to a finite temperature. We evaluate the critical interaction strength and temperatures using finite-size scaling of the spin structure factor. The critical behaviors are consistent with the (3+1)d Gross-Neveu universality class for the quantum critical point and 3D Heisenberg universality class for the thermal phase transitions. We further investigate correlation effects in birefringent Dirac fermion system. It is found that the critical interaction strength $U_c$ is decreased by reducing the velocity of the Dirac cone, quantifying the effect of velocity on the critical interaction strength in 3D Dirac fermion systems. Our findings unambiguously uncover correlation effects in 3D Dirac fermions, and may be observed using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice.

description: It is shown that the SU(2) semilocal model -- the Abelian Higgs model with two complex scalars -- admits a new class of stationary, straight string solutions carrying a persistent current and having finite energy per unit length. In the plane orthogonal to their direction they correspond to a nontrivial deformation of the embedded Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) vortices by the current flowing through them. The new solutions bifurcate with the ANO vortices in the limit of vanishing current. They can be either static or stationary. In the stationary case the relative phase of the two scalars rotates at a constant velocity, giving rise to an electric field and angular momentum, while the energy remains finite. The current has a strong localizing effect on the magnetic field, thus evading the known spreading instability of the ANO-semilocal vortex solutions. The new static vortex solutions have lower energy than the ANO vortices and could be of considerable importance in various physical systems (from condensed matter to cosmic strings).

description: The belief still persists, at least for an important part of the community, that in general relativity the cosmological constant $Λ$ must remain immaculate. However, Bianchi identities show that $Λ$ could acquire local properties in the presence of matter, i.e., $Λ\rightarrow\,Λ(x^μ)$. In this paper we go even further, and we show that a non-uniform vacuum energy does not even require coexistence with any additional form of matter-energy, nor of any theory beyond general relativity, at least for extreme environments, such as the proximity of a black hole.

description: In composites manufacturing, predicting the shape change in parts is vital for making sure part dimensions are properly compensated. Different factors in the manufacturing process, such as the temperature change throughout a thermoset cure cycle, can influence shape change. The compensation process becomes more difficult for geometries with double curvature, as interactions between the two radii of curvature can reduce the effectiveness of applying methodologies for single curvature geometries. Additionally, using finite element analysis (FEA) to predict shape change can be costly and time-consuming depending on part geometry.This thesis studies an approach for predicting the shape change of a symmetric thermoset laminate with a double-curved L-angle section in its geometry. Specifically, the conservation of Gaussian curvature is applied to predict shape change. The geometry studied in this thesis can be broken down and analyzed as a segment of a torus, which is attached on one end by a cylinder and on the other end by a curved flange. Varying the length of the cylinder and flange sections, the effectiveness of Gauss’s theorem is determined for the different part geometries, with developed formulas compared against finite element simulations and experimental measurements.By approximating torus segments with certain geometric criteria as cylinders, linear elasticity equations for a cylinder undergoing free thermal strain can be solved and the change in the larger arc length in the double-curved geometry is predicted after deformation. The integral form of Gauss’ theorem is then applied to determine the deformed angle of the larger arc, from which geometric relations can be applied to extract the deformed radius. Abaqus is used first to study the torus segment on its own, and then to see the effects of the cylinder and flange segments on the overall geometry. Experimental measurements are also used as a comparison.Generally, the formula derived using Gauss’ theorem predicts shape change very well for the torus segment on its own. When cylinder and flange segments are included in the geometry, an empirical correction factor can be introduced to account for geometrically induced stiffening effects. Future developments and next steps in this research are discussed.
System size and centrality dependence of charged hadron transverse momentum spectra in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s) = 62.4 and 200 GeV

description: We present transverse momentum distributions of charged hadrons produced in Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s) = 62.4 and 200 GeV. The spectra are measured for transverse momenta of 0.25 < p_T < 5.0 GeV/c at sqrt(s) = 62.4 GeV and 0.25 < p_T < 7.0 GeV/c at sqrt(s) = 200 GeV, in a pseudo-rapidity range of 0.2 < eta < 1.4. The nuclear modification factor R_AA is calculated relative to p+p data at both collision energies as a function of collision centrality. At a given collision energy and fractional cross-section, R_AA is observed to be systematically larger in Cu+Cu collisions compared to Au+Au. However, for the same number of participating nucleons, R_AA is essentially the same in both systems over the measured range of p_T, in spite of the significantly different geometries of the Cu+Cu and Au+Au systems.

description: The Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog was produced using an automated method of planet candidate identification based on various tests. These tests were tuned to obtain a reasonable but arbitrary balance between catalog completeness and reliability. We produce new catalogs with differing balances of completeness and reliability by varying these tests, and study the impact of these alternative catalogs on occurrence rates. We find that if there is no correction for reliability, different catalogs give statistically inconsistent occurrence rates, while if we correct for both completeness and reliability, we get statistically consistent occurrence rates. This is a strong indication that correction for completeness and reliability is critical for the accurate computation of occurrence rates. Additionally, we find that this result is the same whether using Bayesian Poisson likelihood MCMC or Approximate Bayesian Computation methods. We also examine the use of a Robovetter disposition score cut as an alternative to reliability correction, and find that while a score cut does increase the reliability of the catalog, it is not as accurate as performing a full reliability correction. We get the same result when performing a reliability correction with and without a score cut. Therefore removing low-score planets removes data without providing any advantage, and should be avoided when possible. We make our alternative catalogs publicly available, and propose that these should be used as a test of occurrence rate methods, with the requirement that a method should provide statistically consistent occurrence rates for all these catalogs.

The liquid entropy is computed by means of a thermodynamical integration procedure. The contributions to the free energy of the liquid can be decoupled also in confinement in the configurational and the vibrational part. We show that the vibrational entropy can be calculated in the harmonic approximation as in the bulk case. The Kauzmann temperature of the confined system is estimated from the behavior of the configurational entropy.

Understanding sport participation motivation in early adolescent females : the role of friendship and physical self-perceptions
Creators: name: McDonough, Meghan H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of sport friendship quality, athletic competence and attractiveness perceptions, global self-worth, and sport enjoyment in predicting motivation to participate in sport among young adolescent female sport participants. Two hundred and twenty-nine female team sport participants between the ages of eleven and fourteen participated in this study. Participants completed the athletic competence, physical attractiveness, and self-worth subscales of the Self-Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1985), the Sport Friendship Quality Scale (Weiss & Smith, 1999), the sport enjoyment and sport commitment subscales of the Sport Commitment Model (Scanlan, Simons, Carpenter, Schmidt, & Keeler, 1993), and two items assessing intention to return to the present sport and sport in general. Sport enjoyment and intention to return means were very high and the distributions highly skewed, indicating that participants enjoy sport and are highly motivated to continue playing, but also made determine predictors and outcomes of these variables difficult. Correlational and multiple regression analysis suggested that self-worth was predicted primarily by physical attractiveness perceptions, with athletic competence perceptions making a minor contribution. Sport enjoyment was partially predicted by having things in common with one's best sport friend. Sport enjoyment predicted sport commitment and intentions to return. No relationship was found between self-worth and sport enjoyment. A path analysis of two models of participation motivation found that neither model fit the data well. Model modification procedures were undertaken to find a more parsimonious model and to identify potential relationships for future research. This study did not provide strong support for a predictive role of sport friendship quality and physical self perceptions in predicting sport enjoyment and motivation, or for a model where selfesteem is a separate outcome of antecedents of motivation, rather than a mediating variable. The lack of variance on enjoyment and motivation variables greatly limited the ability of this study to determine predictors and outcomes of sport enjoyment and motivation. Future studies examining other aspects of youth peer relationships in sport are needed to explore their effects on sport related affect, motivation, and self-worth.

Our computation completes the three-loop anomalous dimension matrix of operators that govern low-energy |Delta F| = 1 flavor-changing processes, and represents an important ingredient of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD analysis of the Bbar -> X_s gamma decay.

description: We calculate the intergalactic photon density as a function of both energy and redshift for 0 < z < 6 for photon energies from .003 eV to the Lyman limit cutoff at 13.6 eV in a Lambda-CDM universe with $Ω_Λ = 0.7$ and $Ω_{m} = 0.3$. Our galaxy evolution model gives results which are consistent with Spitzer deep number counts and the spectral energy distribution of the extragalactic background radiation. We use our photon density results to extend previous work on the absorption of high energy gamma-rays in intergalactic space owing to interactions with low energy photons and the 2.7 K cosmic background radiation. We calculate the optical depth of the universe, tau, for gamma-rays having energies from 4 GeV to 100 TeV emitted by sources at redshifts from ~0 to 5. We also give an analytic fit with numerical coefficients for approximating $τ(E_γ, z)$. As an example of the application of our results, we calculate the absorbed spectrum of the blazar PKS 2155-304 at z = 0.117 and compare it with the spectrum observed by the H.E.S.S. air Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope array.

description: We show that the correlation between the elliptic momentum anisotropy, $v_2$, and the average transverse momentum, $[p_T]$, at fixed multiplicity in small system nuclear collisions carries information on the origin of the observed momentum anisotropy. A calculation using a hybrid IP-Glasma+\textsc{Music}+UrQMD model that includes contributions from final state response to the initial geometry as well as initial state momentum anisotropies of the Color Glass Condensate, predicts a characteristic sign change of the correlator $\hatρ(v_2^2,[p_T])$ as a function of charged particle multiplicity in p+Au and d+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200\,{\rm GeV}$, and p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}=5.02\,{\rm TeV}$. This sign change is absent in calculations without initial state momentum anisotropies. The model further predicts a qualitative difference between the centrality dependence of $\hatρ(v_2^2,[p_T])$ in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200\,{\rm GeV}$ and Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}=5.02\,{\rm TeV}$, with only the latter showing a sign change in peripheral events. Predictions for O+O collisions at different collision energy show a similar behavior. Experimental observation of these distinct qualitative features of $\hatρ(v_2^2,[p_T])$ in small and large systems would constitute strong evidence for the presence and importance of initial state momentum anisotropies predicted by the Color Glass Condensate effective theory.

Simple, Accurate, Approximate Orbits in the Logarithmic and a Range of Power-Law Galactic Potentials

description: Curves in a family derived from powers of the polar coordinate formula for ellipses are found to provide good fits to bound orbits in a range of power-law potentials. This range includes the well-known $1/r$ (Keplerian) and logarithmic potentials. These approximate orbits, called p-ellipses, retain some of the basic geometric properties of ellipses. They satisfy and generalize Newton's apsidal precession formula, which is one of the reasons for their surprising accuracy. Because of their simplicity the p-ellipses make very useful tools for studying trends among power-law potentials, and especially the occurence of closed orbits. The occurence of closed or nearly closed orbits in different potentials highlights the possibility of period resonances between precessing, eccentric orbits and circular orbits, or between the precession period of multi-lobed closed orbits and satellite periods. These orbits and their resonances promise to help illuminate a number of problems in galaxy and accretion disk dynamics.

description: Für Unternehmen steigt mit der Relevanz des Produktionsfaktors Strom auch die Herausforderung, die Beschaffungskosten zu senken. Diese Kosten können dabei wesentlich von der Güte der Lastprognosen, dem Prognosehorizont als auch der Wahl einer geeigneten Beschaffungsstrategie beeinflusst werden. Auf Basis von Datensätzen realer anonymisierter Lastgänge der Lieferjahre 2016 bis 2018 für verschiedene Abnehmerstrukturen kann gezeigt werden, dass sich bei der langfristigen Terminmarktbeschaffung vor allem Mengenabweichungen monetär auswirken, während bei der kurzfristigen Beschaffung auf den Spotmärkten die Relevanz von Strukturabweichungen steigt. Um diese Effekte sichtbar zu machen, wurden die Unternehmensdaten und historische Marktdaten für Standardhandelsprodukte und Ausgleichsenergie mittels einer Sensitivitätsanalyse quantitativ untersucht. Die Lastprognosen werden auf Basis einer multiplen Regressionsanalyse erstellt und mit einer Beschaffung anhand der realen Last verglichen. Als Strategien werden Stichtags-, Index- und Tranchenbeschaffung sowie Spotmarktanteile betrachtet. Der nMBE erweist sich als robustes Gütekriterium aufgrund der Einbeziehung von Mengenabweichungen in der Langfristprognose. Variable Beschaffungszeitpunkte in Verbindung mit technischen Indikatoren können die Chance auf geringere Beschaffungskosten, insbesondere in der Tranchenbeschaffung, signifikant erhöhen.

description: Without a vaccine, the fight against the spreading of the coronavirus has focused on maintaining physical distance. To study the impact of such measures on inter-municipality traffic, we analyze a mobile dataset with the daily flow of people in Portugal in March and April 2020. We find that the reduction in inter-municipality traffic depends strongly on its initial outflow. In municipalities where the mobility is low, the outflow reduced by $10-20\%$ and this decrease was independent of the population size. Whereas, for municipalities of high mobility, the reduction was a monotonic increasing function of the population size and it even exceeded $60\%$ for the largest municipalities. As a consequence of such heterogeneities, there were significant structural changes on the most probable paths for the spreading of the virus, which must be considered when modeling the impact of control measures.
Bimanual limb interaction
Creators: name: Nagelkerke, Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this study I investigated the level of neurological interaction between two limbs performing fast, goal directed bimanual movements, and the extent to which the limbs interact and influence each other during movement preparation and production. This experiment focused upon the effect of symmetric and asymmetric bimanual movements of short and long distances performed simultaneously, specifically interaction in response to a movement blocking perturbation. Differences between the EMG patterns of unimanual, equal distance bimanual, and unequal distance bimanual elbow extension movements of 10 and 50 degrees indicated the level of influence seen in movement planning, while differences in kinematic measures indicated the level of interaction during movement production. Results indicated that there was a high level of influence during movement planning and execution, resulting in highly symmetric EMG patterns, but no detectable interaction between the two limbs during movement execution. Blocking the intended movement of one limb had no effect on movement production of the other limb. Once movement was initiated each limb operated independently, displaying characteristic EMG patterns for unblocked movements and modified EMG patterns due to sensory feedback of a blocked movement.

description: In order to probe quantitatively the effect of Kondo impurities on energy exchange between electrons in metals, we have compared measurements on two silver wires with dilute magnetic impurities (manganese) introduced in one of them. The measurement of the temperature dependence of the electron phase coherence time on the wires provides an independent determination of the impurity concentration. Quantitative agreement on the energy exchange rate is found with a theory by Göppert et al. that accounts for Kondo scattering of electrons on spin-1/2 impurities.
