description: In recent years a new concept has been added to the field of television advertising, that of animation. Many claims and counter claims have been made regarding the effectiveness of this new medium. Little study has been done in the field of comparative technique effectiveness and none, to the knowledge of the researcher, has been done on the memory and sales comparisons of live action and animation, and the reasons therefore. This is a study of the opinions of viewers on various aspects of television advertising with emphasis on the effectiveness of animation. Four hundred and twenty persons were given questionnaires on the following topics: television set in residence, opinion of television advertising, average hours viewing television per day, characteristics of television advertising preferred, technique (animation or live action) preferred, reasons for the technique preference, the technique remembered longest and the technique which had the greatest sales potential. These factors have been studied by formal education, age, sex and average hours per day viewed. The conclusions stated herein are based on the percentages of the persons in the various groups with reference to their opinions on the factors studied.

description: A wide range of economic studies have analysed price relationships in the agri-food sectors. Initiated by a market story, this paper adds to the existing literature by investigating the co-movements of prices for orange juice concentrate and apple juice concentrates in the European Union. Different cointegration models were applied for the monthly price series made available by Fl ssiges Obst for the period from December 2003 to March 2017. The results revealed statistically significant relationships between the prices of some of the apple juice concentrates but not between the prices of orange juice concentrate and apple juice concentrates.

description: Semiconductors in the proximity of superconductors have been proposed to support phases hosting Majorana bound states. When the systems undergo a topological phase transition towards the Majorana phase, the spectral gap closes, then reopens, and the quasiparticle band spin polarization is inverted. We focus on two paradigmatic semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures and propose an all-electrical spectroscopic probe sensitive to the spin inversion at the topological transition. Our proposal relies on the indirect coupling of a time-dependent electric field to the electronic spin due to the strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling in the semiconductor. We analyze within linear response theory the dynamical correlation functions and demonstrate that some components of the susceptibility can be used to detect the nontrivial topological phases.

description: Although the role of farmer cooperatives as a social unit can have impact on their performance, empirical analysis on how societal output and social value relevant variables affect the cooperatives performance is sparse. The objective of this paper is to provide an economic framework and operational model for performance measurement of farmer cooperative associated with societal impact. A multi-output translog production function considering social output represented by the number of beneficiary farmers using data from surveys 164 cooperatives in Fujian province, China, is estimated. The average technical efficiency of cooperatives is estimated to be 0.747, implying that cooperatives can be increased by 25.30% without any additional resources given the current production input level. It is interesting to find that cooperatives efficiency scores and their rankings are significantly different with and without taking societal output into account, which indicates that social output created by the number of beneficial farmers cannot be ignored when evaluating cooperative s performance. The societal value relevant variables for technical inefficiency factors represented by extent of providing members service, namely training members and selling products are also found negatively affecting technical efficiency of cooperatives. The findings indicate the evaluation of cooperatives performance should consider their non-economic social contribution.

description: This study investigates food factors that affect (University of British Columbia) students’ lunch preferences. We hypothesised that UBC students would rate three factors – calories, freshness of food and sugar content – as more important than other three factors – organic, vegetables or meat, and taste. We also hypothesized that individuals who chose calories, freshness, and sugar content as the most important factors would have different percentages of meat dishes, average calories and average sugar content per dish in their lunch choices as compared to students who chose organic, vegetables, and taste as the most important factors. 208 UBC students were recruited on campus and online survey. We measured the percentage of meat dish(es), the average calories and sugar content per dish. There was a significant difference between taste and participants’ preference of average calorie content per dish, and it was found that participants who ranked taste as the most important factor consume the highest calorie meals. Our results did not support our hypotheses. Based on the results, UBC food services could consider offering tasty foods that meet their goals (more tasty foods that are low calories, low sugar content and fresh).

description: A classification of idempotents in Clifford algebras C(p,q) is presented. It is shown that using isomorphisms between Clifford algebras C(p,q) and appropriate matrix rings, it is possible to classify idempotents in any Clifford algebra into continuous families. These families include primitive idempotents used to generate minimal one sided ideals in Clifford algebras. Some low dimensional examples are discussed.
Magnetic Rotator Winds and Keplerian Disks of Hot Stars
Creators: name: Maheswaran, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider rotating magnetic stars with winds and disks. We establish a theorem that relates the angular velocity of a disk region with no meridional motion to the angular velocity of the star. Also, we show that for a given value of the magnetic field strength, if the rotation rate is too high or the flow velocity into the shock boundary is too low, a Keplerian disk region will not be formed. We develop a model for the formation of disks in magnetic rotators through the processes of fill-up and diffusion into Keplerian orbits. At the end of the fill-up stage the density of the disk increases significantly and the magnetic force in the disk becomes negligible. We derive analytical expressions for the inner and outer radii of Keplerian disks in terms of the stellar rotation rate. A disk can form if the meridional component Bm of the field at the stellar surface is larger than a minimum value. The radial extent of the Keplerian region becomes larger for larger values of Bm and is largest when Bm equals an optimal value. The strengths of the minimum fields required for Keplerian disk formation in B-type stars varies from order 1G to 10G. In O-type stars they must be of order 500G. Also, we suggest that the stellar magnetic fields may be affected by rotationally driven meridional circulation leading to some of the the observed variations of disks with time.

description: The typicality approach and the Hilbert space averaging method as its technical manifestation are important concepts of quantum statistical mechanics. Extensively used for expectation values we extend them in this paper to transition probabilities. In this context we also find that the transition probability of two random uniformly distributed states is connected to the spectral statistics of the considered operator. Furthermore, within our approach we are capable to consider distributions of matrix elements between states, that are not orthogonal. We will demonstrate our quite general result numerically for a kicked spin chain in the integrable resp. chaotic regime.

description: During the test measurements of the PMTs to be used in the future Borexino experiment, the data from 2200 PMT were accumulated. The unique timing characteristics of the apparatus used and the large statistics acquired, permit resololution of the fine structure of the ETL9351 PMT time response. A method to obtain the probability density function of the single photoelectron counting from the experimental data is proposed and applied to derive the PMT average characteristics. For the first time, an analytical model of the single photoelectron PMT time response is proposed, describing all the features of the single photoelectron time arrival. The origin of the small amplitude pulses is explained.

description: Starting with the canonical coherent states, we demonstrate that all the so-called nonlinear coherent states, used in the physical literature, as well as large classes of other generalized coherent states, can be obtained by changes of bases in the underlying Hilbert space. This observation leads to an interesting duality between pairs of generalized coherent states, bringing into play a Gelfand triple of (rigged) Hilbert spaces. Moreover, it is shown that in each dual pair of families of nonlinear coherent states, at least one family is related to a (generally) non-unitary projective representation of the Weyl-Heisenberg group, which can then be thought of as characterizing the dual pair.

description: We present an absolute parallax and relative proper motion for the central star of the planetary nebula NGC 6853 (The Dumbell). We obtain these with astrometric data from FGS 3, a white-light interferometer on {\it HST}. Spectral classifications and VRIJHKT$_2$M and DDO51 photometry of the stars comprising the astrometric reference frame provide spectrophotometric estimates of their absolute parallaxes. Introducing these into our model as observations with error, we find $π_{abs} = 2.10 \pm 0.48$ mas for the DAO central star of NGC 6853. A weighted average with a previous ground-based USNO determination yields $π_{abs} = 2.40 \pm 0.32$. We assume that the extinction suffered by the reference stars nearest (in angular separation and distance) to the central star is the same as for the central star. Correcting for color differences, we find $$ = 0.30 $ \pm $ 0.06 for the central star, hence, an absolute magnitude M$_V = 5.48^{-0.16}_{+0.15}$. A recent determination of the central star effective temperature aided in estimating the central star radius, $R_{*}=0.055 \pm 0.02R_{\sun}$, a star that may be descending to the white dwarf cooling track.

description: Bilayer Heisenberg ferromagnetic insulators hold degenerate terahertz Dirac magnon modes associated with two opposite valleys of the hexagonal Brillouin zone. We show that this energy degeneracy can be removed by breaking of the inversion symmetry (I), leading to a topological magnon valley current. We show furthermore that this current leads to valley Seebeck effect for magnons and is thereby detectable. We perform calculations in the specific example of bilayer CrBr3, where I can be broken by electrostatic doping.

description: Die nachfolgenden Betrachtungen handeln von Widersprüchlichkeiten und zuwiderlaufenden Erwartungen. Sie münden in ein ästhetisches Denken, ohne in den Fehler zu verfallen, dieses oder die Ästhetik selbst definitorisch fixieren zu wollen. Das Vorkommen von Schönheit wird gleichermaßen der Technik, wie der Kunst oder der Natur zugestanden. Doch darum geht es nicht, sondern vielmehr um eine spezifische Art und Weise des Denkens und Erkenntnisgewinns. Nach einer eher nüchtern gehaltenen Hinführung zu diesbezüglichen transhumanistischen Unklarheiten wird die Problemlage bei vorhandener Ambiguität und paradoxalen Verhältnissen anhand ausgesuchter literarischer Texte von Stefan Zweig, Heinrich von Kleist und Christoph Martin Wieland verlebendigt. Dieser Exkurs und Rückgriff auf die Literaturwissenschaft bezieht seine Rechtfertigung aus der ungeheuer starken und mehrschichtig subtilen Ausdruckskraft solcher Werke, vermöge derer ein bleibender und tiefer Einblick in die menschlichen Charaktere und ihre Wesensart gelingen kann. So ist es ja geradewegs der Mensch, der mit allen seinen Facetten und in aller Umfänglichkeit vom Transhumanismus zur Disposition gestellt wird. In einem weiteren, philosophisch reflektierenden Schritt wird der von der transhumanistischen Denkweise ignorierte und beiseitegelassene Erkenntnisweg des ästhetischen Denkens in seiner prinzipiellen Offenheit und Unausschöpflichkeit an den beiden Denkfiguren eines Tanzenden und eines Lachenden expliziert.

description: Weak lensing measurements are entering a precision era to statistically map the distribution of matter in the universe. The most common measurement has been of the variance of the projected surface density of matter, which corresponds to the induced correlation in alignments of background galaxies. This measurement of the fluctuations is insensitive to the total mass content, like using waves on the ocean to measure its depths. But when the depth is shallow as happens near a beach, waves become skewed. Similarly, a measurement of skewness in the projected matter distribution directly measures the total matter content of the universe. While skewness has already been convincingly detected, its constraint on cosmology is still weak. We address optimal analyses for the CFHT Legacy Survey in the presence of noise. We show that a compensated Gaussian filter with a width of 2.5 arc minutes optimizes the cosmological constraint, yielding $ΔΩ_m/Ω_m\sim 10%$. This is significantly better than other filters which have been considered in the literature. This can be further improved with tomography and other sophisticated analyses.

description: One of the externalities of soil loss from cropland is sediment deposits. Costs are incurred in sediment removal, and estimates of these costs are made. Also, sediment deposits are found to be significantly related to gross soil erosion estimates from the Universal Soil Loss Equation, an environmental parameter commonly used in economic analyses.

description: It is speculated that a merger of two massive stellar-origin BHs in a dense stellar environment may lead to the formation of a massive BH in the pair-instability mass gap (50-135 Msun). Such a merger-formed BH is expected to typically have a high spin (a=0.7). If such a massive BH acquires another BH it may lead to another merger detectable by LIGO/Virgo in gravitational waves. Acquiring a companion may be hindered by gravitational-wave kick/recoil, which accompanies the first merger and may quickly remove the massive BH from its parent globular or nuclear cluster. We test whether it is possible for a massive merger-formed BH in the pair-instability gap to be retained in its parent cluster and have low spin. Such a BH would be indistinguishable from a primordial BH. We employed results from numerical relativity calculations of black hole mergers to explore the range of gravitational-wave recoil velocities for various combinations of merging BH masses and spins. We compared merger-formed massive BH speeds with typical escape velocities from globular and nuclear clusters. We show that a globular cluster is highly unlikely to form and retain a 100 Msun BH if the spin of the BH is low (a<0.3) as such BHs acquire high recoil speeds (>200 km/s) that exceed typical escape speeds from globular clusters (50 km/s). However, a very low-spinning (a=0.1) and massive (100 Msun) BH could be formed and retained in a galactic nuclear star cluster. Even though such massive merger-formed BHs with such low spins acquire high speeds during formation (400 km/s), they may avoid ejection since massive nuclear clusters have high escape velocities (300-500 km/s). A future detection of a massive BH in the pair-instability mass gap with low spin would therefore not be proof of the existence of primordial BHs, which are sometimes claimed to have low spins and arbitrarily high masses.

description: Let varphi_n:C^n times C^n->C, varphi_n((x_1,...,x_n),(y_1,...,y_n))=sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2. We say that f:C^n->C^n preserves distance d>=0, if for each X,Y in C^n varphi_n(X,Y)=d^2 implies varphi_n(f(X),f(Y))=d^2. We prove: if n>=2 and a continuous f:C^n->C^n preserves unit distance, then f has a form I circ (rho,...,rho), where I:C^n->C^n is an affine mapping with orthogonal linear part and rho:C->C is the identity or the complex conjugation. For n >=3 and bijective f the theorem follows from Theorem 2 in [8].

description: Viruses in the family Retroviridae are found in a wide variety of vertebrate hosts. Enveloped virions are 80-100 nm in diameter with an inner core containing the viral genome and replicative enzymes. Core morphology is often characteristic for viruses within the same genus. Replication involves reverse transcription and integration into host cell DNA, resulting in a provirus. Integration into germline cells can result in a heritable provirus known as an endogenous retrovirus. This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Retroviridae, which is available at ictv.global/report/retroviridae.

Some economic aspects of oil investments in Iraq
Creators: name: Katabi, Adnan S.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The primary interest of this study is on the oil industry in Iraq, its development and some aspects of its effects on Iraq's economy. Before stating the problem in more explicit terms, it would be well to sketch briefly something of the background of the subject. The international oil industry has provided a broad field for study. It has been the subject of numerous books and articles and countless treatises. Many political and economic aspects of the industry's operations have been surveyed, investigated and analyzed in considerable detail. It has often been a source of controversial treatment in such writings, and has aroused conflicts between the individuals, business and governments concerned with it. This is true particularly of the oil industry in the Middle East. Among other things, during the past fifty or more years, the rivalry for coveted oil concessions in the area helped to intensify the political and economic rivalries of various foreign governments. Because of the industry's association with the colonial past and its inevitable involvement with the foreign policies of the Western nations, it has usually symbolized "imperialism" to the people of the Middle East. Recent rising nationalism and new found sovereignty have made the oil-rich nations of the area more aware of the potential of these wealthy resources and in turn more suspicious of foreign producers. In Iran, the feeling against the foreigner ran rampant, leading to expropriation and nationalization of the industry, as well as to economic disaster for a time. However, in Iraq, the area of this study, a compromise was effected recently which permits the government to share as an equal partner with the foreign oil companies in the profits of the industry's local operations. This new relationship between the Iraq government and the oil industry offers fruitful ground for examination of some of the aspects of direct foreign investment in underdeveloped countries. This study is concerned with Iraq's evolvement to its present status as a co-partner with the foreign oil investors and the economics advantages that have accrued to the country from the development of its oil resources.
