Agriculture's Contribution to Swiss Climate Policy: Results of an Economic Analysis

description: Greenhouse gas emissions from Swiss agriculture have been reduced by about 8 % since 1990. Hence, Swiss agriculture has already contributed 13 % to the national Kyoto target, although it is not legally bound to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Since the reductions are a result of changes of agricultural policy and relative prices, related income losses can not be attributed to climate policy. In other words, the agricultural sector did not have to bear effective emission abatement costs. If the current agricultural policy is continued, further reductions of agricultural GHG emissions by 3 to 10 % can be expected until 2010. These expectations are based on economic calculations made with the integrated agricultural allocation model S_INTAGRAL. Accordingly, Swiss agriculture may contribute 17 to 28 % to the national Kyoto target. The economic value of this reduction is estimated to be within the range of 30 to 107 million Swiss francs per year. This value is optional and can only be realized in the commitment period of 2008-2012. It reflects the reduction costs that could be saved by the rest of the economy. Moreover, the results show that soil carbon sequestration may constitute a moderate option in the reduction of the emissions in the short term. However, this potential is rather small compared to the national Kyoto target, and may involve relatively high costs of monitoring. From an economic point of view, this leads to the advice to renounce to targeted measures and incentives for additional GHG mitigation by the agricultural sector.

description: In order to understand the emergence of superconductivity it is useful to study and identify the various pathways leading to the destruction of superconductivity. One way is to use the increase in Coulomb-repulsion due to the increase in disorder, which overpowers the attractive interaction responsible for Cooper-pair formation. A second pathway, applicable to uniformly disordered materials, is the competition between superconductivity and Anderson localization, which leads to electronic granularity in which phase and amplitude fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter play a role. Finally, a third pathway is an array of superconducting islands coupled by some form of proximity-effect, due to Andreev-reflections, and which leads from a superconducting state to a state with finite resistivity, which appears like a metallic groundstate. This review summarizes recent progress in understanding of these different pathways, including experiments in low dimensional materials and application in superconducting quantum devices.

description: The development of organic agriculture in Europe is mainly driven by consumer demand for organic products and policy support through area payments and standard setting through regulations. The policy challenge therefore is to achieve a balanced policy mix recognising governmental policy support on the one side and the market mechanisms for yielding premium prices. Action Plans are suitable policy instruments to address and integrate different and sometimes conflicting policy measures. In 2004, the European Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming was published by the European Commission. The action plan takes up very important issues for the further development of organic farming standards through EC Reg. 2092/91, stresses the importance of information provision to both organic actors and consumers and thus sets a baseline for balanced 'push' and 'pull' strategies. However, there is no consideration of interaction of organic farming with main parts of the CAP, nothing about how, by when and on the basis of which resources the suggested actions should be implemented. Furthermore, the action plan failed to set clear targets for organic farming development. On the positive side, the action plan i) expresses the relevance of organic farming in the context of the EU agricultural policy and ii) recognizes the dual societal role of organic farming (provision of public goods and services and infant market responding to consumer concern) - and it doing so as an official EU document.

description: We present the calculations of the complete NLO inclusive total cross sections for pair production of neutral Higgs bosons through $b\bar b$ annihilation in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In our calculations, we used both the DREG scheme and the DRED scheme and found that the NLO total cross sections in the above two schemes are the same. Our results show that the $b\bar b$-annihilation contributions can exceed ones of $gg$ fusion and $q\bar q$ annihilation for $h^0H^0$, $A^0h^0$ and $A^0H^0$ productions when $\tanβ$ is large. In the case of $μ>0$, the NLO corrections enhance the LO total cross sections significantly, which can reach a few tens percent, while for $μ<0$, the corrections are relatively small, and are negative in most parameter space. Moreover, the NLO QCD corrections can reduce the dependence of the total cross sections on the renormalization/factorization scale, especially for $μ<0$. We also use the CTEQ6.1 PDF sets to estimate the uncertainty of LO and NLO total cross sections, and find that the uncertainty arising from the choice of PDFs increases with the increasing $m_{A^0}$.

description: Some general remarks on parton transverse spin distributions and transverse motions are presented. The issue of accessing experimental information on the transversity distributions h_1^q is discussed. In particular direct information could be obtained from Drell-Yan processes with polarized protons and antiprotons (planned at GSI), while indirect information, coupling h_1^q to the Collins fragmentation function, is being gathered by HERMES and COMPASS collaborations. The related issue of transverse Single Spin Asymmetries (SSA) measured in several processes and the role of the Sivers distribution function is also discussed.

description: We define stabilizability of an infinite volume height configuration and of a probability measure on height configurations. We show that for high enough densities, a probability measure cannot be stabilized. We also show that in some sense the thermodynamic limit of the uniform measures on the recurrent configurations of the abelian sandpile model (ASM) is a maximal element of the set of stabilizable measures. In that sense the self-organized critical behavior of the ASM can be understood in terms of an ordinary transition between stabilizable and non-stabilizable

description: Using deep inelastic $e^{\pm}p$ charged and neutral current scattering cross sections previously published, a combined electroweak and QCD analysis is performed to determine electroweak parameters accounting for their correlation with parton distributions. The data used have been collected by the H1 experiment in 1994-2000 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 117.2 pb$^{-1}$. The $W$ boson mass is determined via the propagator and in the on-mass-shell scheme. A first measurement at HERA is made of the light quark weak couplings to the $Z^0$ boson.

description: With increasing price-competition in retail business, marketing becomes the critical success factor. All activities have to be oriented towards customer needs. Within marketing research, the individual act of purchase plays a decisive role and necessitates a holistic analysis of the market basket. Moreover, progress in information technology has enabled us to store huge amounts of data, including a valuable pool of business experiences. It is not possible to make this potential knowledge completely available with conventional statistical approaches. This is where Data Mining provides an ideal approach. It is an analysis process for extracting information from large databases. The aim of the study, submitted as diploma thesis at the ETH Zurich, is to show a possible Data Mining Process for analyzing sales data in retail business. Thereby the analysis is focused on the efficiency of the process model and the identification of professional needs. According to Hippner, the Data Mining Process is applied systematically on the basis of a Market Basket Analysis. The Association Analysis, which detects relevant correlations between different products of an assortment, is the core of the process. Problems of interpreting identified association rules make a transformation into marketing recommendations very difficult. Nevertheless, the Data Mining Process turned out to be very efficient.

description: Organic farming has rapidly grown in Switzerland in the past years. It is now well established in agriculture and accepted by consumers. However, recent developments show declining growth rates. This raises the question of the future that can be expected for organic farming in Switzerland. Future trends and potentials of organic farming in Switzerland made subject of two diploma theses in which prospects of the dairy and livestock sector and the fruit and vegetable sector were analysed. With a linear optimization model (farm level), taking into account probable future conditions, the development of supply was estimated. The future evolution of consumer demand was assessed by the means of a qualitative analysis. The analysis of supply and demand showed that there will be structural changes and that a future growth of the organic market is questionable. The problem does not mainly lie in the expected trend of consumer demand but rather in the development of the supply of organic products in Switzerland. In contrast to alternative production systems, organic farming is more labour-intensive, which results in higher per unit production costs. Due to the increasing abolishing of protective measures in the agricultural sector, product prices will continue to decrease. Therefore it is questionable if domestic demand for organic products can be fully met by local production.

Subjects: Productivity Analysis

description: This paper focuses on the evolution of productivity in the agricultural sector of 21 developped countries over the period of 1990-2002. It uses Data Envelopment Analysis, a non-parametric approach that allows decompositions of changes in productivity into variations in efficiency and technical change. The results show that productivity improvements (0,6 % per year) were principally due to technological progress (0,4 % per years). However, this performance was not uniform in all the countries.

description: We introduce a theoretical framework that highlights the impact of physical distancing variables such as human mobility and physical proximity on the evolution of epidemics and, crucially, on the reproduction number. In particular, in response to the coronavirus disease (CoViD-19) pandemic, countries have introduced various levels of 'lockdown' to reduce the number of new infections. Specifically we use a collisional approach to an infection-age structured model described by a renewal equation for the time homogeneous evolution of epidemics. As a result, we show how various contributions of the lockdown policies, namely physical proximity and human mobility, reduce the impact of SARS-CoV-2 and mitigate the risk of disease resurgence. We check our theoretical framework using real-world data on physical distancing with two different data repositories, obtaining consistent results. Finally, we propose an equation for the effective reproduction number which takes into account types of interactions among people, which may help policy makers to improve remote-working organizational structure.

The bound-state energies are given as zeros of a calculable function, if the potential is confined in a spherical box. For an unconfined potential the interval bounding the energy eigenvalues can be determined in a similar way with an arbitrarily chosen precision. The very accurate results for various spherically symmetric anharmonic potentials are presented.

description: The main objective of the inoVagri research project is to reach a better understanding of non-technical innovation in Swiss Agriculture. For this purpose a diversified case study was carried out. It enabled the analysis of innovative activities such as new organisational forms, new marketing models, vertical integration of the value-added chain and new forms of cooperation. SWOT analysis and 'grounded theory' were used as survey instruments. The study shows that the activities described above are typical process innovations, and that they were applied by the farms for the first time. Therefore the use of the innovations involved uncertainties in planning, lack of experience and unknown risks. The desired result of the innovation process is the realisation of a business advantage. The advantage may be of monetary (added value) or nonmonetary utility (social rise). The study identified strong similarities to the marketing-model by Kotler. Based on this model, the article describes the typical attributes of innovative activities in Swiss Agriculture.

description: We develop a non-linear framework for describing long-wavelength perturbations in multiple-field inflation. The basic variables describing inhomogeneities are defined in a non-perturbative manner, are invariant under changes of time slicing on large scales and include both matter and metric perturbations. They are combinations of spatial gradients generalising the gauge-invariant variables of linear theory. Dynamical equations are derived and supplemented with stochastic source terms which provide the long-wavelength initial conditions determined from short-wavelength modes. Solutions can be readily obtained via numerical simulations or analytic perturbative expansions. The latter are much simpler than the usual second-order perturbation theory. Applications are given in a companion paper.

description: We analyze the statistics of electrostatic energies (and their differences) for a quantum dot system composed of a finite number $K$ of electron islands (metallic grains) with random capacitance-inductance matrix $C$, for which the total charge is discrete, $Q=Ne$ (where $e$ is the charge of an electron and $N$ is an integer). The analysis is based on a generalized charging model, where the electrons are distributed among the grains such that the electrostatic energy E(N) is minimal. Its second difference (inverse compressibility) $χ_{N}=E(N+1)-2 E(N)+E(N-1)$ represents the spacing between adjacent Coulomb blockade peaks appearing when the conductance of the quantum dot is plotted against gate voltage. The statistics of this quantity has been the focus of experimental and theoretical investigations during the last two decades. We provide an algorithm for calculating the distribution function corresponding to $χ_{N}$ and show that this function is piecewise polynomial.

description: The problem of overweight / obesity is increasing in Switzerland, especially among children. A comparison with the US shows that although the share of obese adults in Switzerland is significantly lower than in the US, Switzerland might soon catch up with the US rates of obesity. Overweight / obesity does not only occur in the Western World. In fact, many developing countries face a double burden of undernourishment and overweight / obesity. Market failure plays an important role in many respects: There is an information asymmetry with, for example, missing labeling of restaurant food - which leads to inadequate food choices. The external costs of eating too many calories are not included in the market prices. This means that also people with healthy weights have to bear obesity-related health costs, etc. Considering market failure and the children's welfare as a social task, governmental intervention is justified (e.g. taxes, subsidies, insurance solution). Overweight / obesity is a complex problem that cannot be solved with the introduction of one measure alone. Therefore it is also up to research to refocus. Prevention alone is not enough - there must be additional, farther reaching measures. In terms of sustainable nutrition, a paradigm shift regarding the definition of food safety is required. It is not only about the safe provision but also the safe consumption of food.

description: This article proposes a novel Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) framework for Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) autonomous navigation in constrained environments. The introduced framework allows us to consider the nonlinear dynamics of MAVs and guarantees real-time performance. Our first contribution is to design a computationally efficient subspace clustering method to reveal from geometrical constraints to underlying constraint planes within a 3D point cloud, obtained from a 3D lidar scanner. The second contribution of our work is to incorporate the extracted information into the nonlinear constraints of NMPC for avoiding collisions. Our third contribution focuses on making the controller robust by considering the uncertainty of localization and NMPC using the Shannon entropy. This step enables us to track either the position or velocity references, or none of them if necessary. As a result, the collision avoidance constraints are defined in the local coordinates of MAVs and it remains active and guarantees collision avoidance, despite localization uncertainties, e.g., position estimation drifts. Additionally, as the platform continues the mission, this will result in less uncertain position estimations, due to the feature extraction and loop closure. The efficacy of the suggested framework has been evaluated using various simulations in the Gazebo environment.

Tactical mine management

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis proposes a methodology that creates the core components of a tactical mine management system (TMMS) that adapts, for mining, the new information technology and management techniques that have proven to be successful for other industries. The resulting TMMS is intended to provide the motivation and means to make improvement initiatives through the use of modern management techniques that takes into account the particularities of the mining industry, operations, and culture. This work is considered important as tactical management in mining now has the opportunity to take advantage of the management technology currently available to other businesses. The methodology was developed through investigations into the history and use of production management in mining and other industries. The particularities of mining were explored to define the issues a potential management system needs to address. The proposed methodology is organised into four development phases that each produces one of the four core components of a TMMS. The first phase develops a systems plan, whereby the evolution and implementation of the management system components are planned. The second phase involves the building of a data infrastructure appropriate for the use of modern management techniques in mining. The third phase designs a set of measures for evaluation of employee and mine process performance. The fourth phase establishes procedures in which the performance measures can be used to motivate and enable improvement initiatives. Field studies over a two year period were used to develop and evaluate the TMMS methodology at several INCO Limited mines in Sudbury, Ontario. The TMMS methodology resulted in establishing the four key management components that subsequently led to motivating tactical mine managers to initiate improvement initiatives and the development of more complex management components. These initiatives were undertaken using modern management techniques such as simulation and activity based costing. The results revealed that an effective TMMS can be created using a methodology that takes mining's technical and cultural characteristics into account.

description: We present results of a simulation of 2-flavor QCD on a 4x16^3 lattice using p4-improved staggered fermions with bare quark mass m/T=0.4. Derivatives of the thermodynamic grand canonical partition function Z(V,T,mu_u,mu_d) with respect to chemical potentials mu_(u,d) for different quark flavors are calculated up to sixth order, enabling estimates of the pressure and the quark number density as well as the chiral condensate and various susceptibilities as functions of mu_q = (mu_u + mu_d)/2 via Taylor series expansion. Furthermore, we analyze baryon as well as isospin fluctuations and discuss the relation between the radius of convergence of the Taylor series and the chiral critical point in the QCD phase diagram. We argue that bulk thermodynamic observables do not, at present, provide direct evidence for the existence of a chiral critical point in the QCD phase diagram. Results are compared to high temperature perturbation theory as well as a hadron resonance gas model.

description: The information value of the former USDA voluntary price reporting system is investigated for dressed weight slaughter steers. The ability of the former system to promote market transparency and price discovery in the cash market is evaluated with state level mandatory price reporting data collected from September 1999 to April 2001. The empirical framework evaluates the informational value of public price reports according to the criteria established in the market integration literature. The empirical results indicate that in the cash market for dressed weight steers, in South Dakota and Nebraska the former voluntary price reporting system did foster market transparency and aided in the price discovery process.

description: Lead halide perovskites are a remarkable class of materials that have emerged over the past decade as being suitable for application in a broad range of devices, such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, lasers, transistors, and memory devices, among others. While they are often solution-processed semiconductors deposited at low temperatures, perovskites exhibit properties one would only expect from highly pure inorganic crystals that are grown at high temperatures. This unique phenomenon has resulted in fast-paced progress toward record device performance; unfortunately, the basic science behind the remarkable nature of these materials is still not well understood. This review assesses the current understanding of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of metal halide perovskite materials and highlights key areas that require further research. Furthermore, the need to standardize the methods for characterization of PL in order to improve comparability, reliability and reproducibility of results is emphasized.

description: Ternary organic solar cells (TOSC) are currently under intensive investigation, recently reaching a record efficiency of 17.1%. The origin of the device open-circuit voltage (VOC), already a multifaceted issue in binary OSC, is even more complex in TOSCs. Herein, we investigate two ternary systems with one donor (D) and two acceptor materials (A1, A2) including fullerene and non-fullerene acceptors. By varying the ratio between the two acceptors, we find the VOC to be gradually tuned between those of the two binary systems, D:A1 and D:A2. To investigate the origin of this change, we employ ultra-violet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS) depth profiling, which is used to estimate the photovoltaic gap in the ternary systems. Our results reveal an excellent agreement between the estimated photovoltaic gap and the VOC for all mixing ratios, suggesting that the energetic alignment between the blend components varies depending on the ratio D:A1:A2. Furthermore, our results indicate that the sum of radiative and non-radiative losses in these ternary systems is independent of the blend composition. Finally, we demonstrate the superiority of UPS over X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling in resolving compositional profiles for material combinations with very similar chemical, but dissimilar electronic structures, as common in TOSCs.

description: Domain shift is a fundamental problem in visual recognition which typically arises when the source and target data follow different distributions. The existing domain adaptation approaches which tackle this problem work in the closed-set setting with the assumption that the source and the target data share exactly the same classes of objects. In this paper, we tackle a more realistic problem of open-set domain shift where the target data contains additional classes that are not present in the source data. More specifically, we introduce an end-to-end Progressive Graph Learning (PGL) framework where a graph neural network with episodic training is integrated to suppress underlying conditional shift and adversarial learning is adopted to close the gap between the source and target distributions. Compared to the existing open-set adaptation approaches, our approach guarantees to achieve a tighter upper bound of the target error. Extensive experiments on three standard open-set benchmarks evidence that our approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-arts in open-set domain adaptation.

A variational interface-preserving and conservative phase-field method for the surface tension effect in two-phase flows

description: We present a finite element based variational interface-preserving and conservative phase-field formulation for the modeling of incompressible two-phase flows with surface tension dynamics. The preservation of the hyperbolic tangent interface profile of the convective Allen-Cahn phase-field formulation relies on a novel time-dependent mobility model. The mobility coefficient is adjusted adaptively as a function of gradients of the velocity and the order parameter in the diffuse interface region in such a way that the free energy minimization properly opposes the convective distortion. The ratio of the convective distortion to the free energy minimization is termed as the convective distortion parameter, which characterizes the deviation from the hyperbolic tangent shape due to the convection effect. The mass conservation is achieved by enforcing a Lagrange multiplier with both temporal and spatial dependence on the phase-field function. We integrate the interface-preserving and conservative phase-field formulation with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the continuum surface tension force model for the simulation of incompressible two-phase flows. A positivity preserving scheme designed for the boundedness and stability of the solution is employed for the variational discretization using unstructured finite elements. We examine the convergence and accuracy of the Allen-Cahn phase-field solver through a generic one-dimensional bistable diffusion-reaction system in a stretching flow. We quantify and systematically assess the relative interface thickness error and the relative surface tension force error with respect to the convective distortion parameter. Two- and three-dimensional rising bubble cases are further simulated to examine the effectiveness of the proposed model on the volume-preserving mean curvature flow and the interface-preserving capability.

description: The anisotropic flow of charged hadrons in asymmetric Cu+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is studied in a multi-phase transport model. Compared with previous results for symmetric Au+Au collisions, charged hadrons produced around midrapidity in asymmetric collisions are found to have a stronger directed flow $v_{1}$ and their elliptic flow $% v_{2} $ is also more sensitive to the parton scattering cross section. While higher-order flows $v_{3}$ and $v_{4}$ are small at all rapidities, both $% v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ in these collisions are appreciable and show an asymmetry in forward and backward rapidities.

Towards Deep Robot Learning with Optimizer applicable to Non-stationary Problems

description: This paper proposes a new optimizer for deep learning, named d-AmsGrad. In the real-world data, noise and outliers cannot be excluded from dataset to be used for learning robot skills. This problem is especially striking for robots that learn by collecting data in real time, which cannot be sorted manually. Several noise-robust optimizers have therefore been developed to resolve this problem, and one of them, named AmsGrad, which is a variant of Adam optimizer, has a proof of its convergence. However, in practice, it does not improve learning performance in robotics scenarios. This reason is hypothesized that most of robot learning problems are non-stationary, but AmsGrad assumes the maximum second momentum during learning to be stationarily given. In order to adapt to the non-stationary problems, an improved version, which slowly decays the maximum second momentum, is proposed. The proposed optimizer has the same capability of reaching the global optimum as baselines, and its performance outperformed that of the baselines in robotics problems.
