description: In Korea, processed food markets have various shapes of structure: the markets of ice cream, special dietary food, noodles, sugar are highly concentrated, while the markets of gimchi, pickles, and ice are not very concentrated. The level of market concentration changes over time. These market structures and structural changes cause impacts on related industries as well as own industries. For the more successful policies, the paper suggests three ideas: to realize that each food processing industry has a different industry structure, to understand the relationship between the food processing industry and upstream and downstream industries and to take into account opinions from various sources before adopting new policies.

description: The large N spectrum of the quantum mechanical hamiltonian of two hermitean matrices in a harmonic potential is studied in a framework where one of the matrices is treated exactly and the other is treated as a creation operator impurity in the background of the first matrix. For the free case, the complete set of invariant eigenstates and corresponding energies are obtained. When g_{YM}^2 interactions are added, it is shown that the full string tension corrected spectrum of BMN loops is obtained.

description: We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a strong derivable map and calculate its derivative by employing a result in our previous work on strong derivability of maps arising by functional calculus of an unbounded scalar type spectral operator $R$ in a Banach space and the generalization to complete locally convex spaces of a classical result valid in the Banach space context. We apply this result to obtain a sequence of integrals converging to an integral of a complete locally convex space extension of a map arising by functional calculus of $R$.

description: The 1.0 metre f/4 fast-slew Zadko Telescope was installed in June 2008 approximately seventy kilometres north of Perth at Yeal, in the Shire of Gingin, Western Australia. Since the Zadko Telescope has been in operation it has proven its worth by detecting numerous Gamma Ray Burst afterglows, two of these being the most distant `optical transients' imaged by an Australian telescope. Other projects include a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) to image potentially hazardous near Earth asteroids (2019), monitoring space weather on nearby stars (2019), and photometry of a transit of Saturn's moon Titan (2018). Another active Zadko Telescope project is tracking Geo-stationary satellites and attempting to use photometry to classify various space debris (defunct satellites). The Zadko Telescope's importance as a potential tool for education, training, and public outreach cannot be underestimated, as the global awareness of the importance of astronomy (and space science) as a context for teaching science continues to increase. An example of this was the national media coverage of its contribution to the discovery of colliding neutron stars in 2017, capturing the imagination of the public. In this proceeding, I will focus on the practical aspects of managing a robotic Observatory, focusing on the sustainability of the Observatory and the technical management involved in hosting different commercial projects. I will review the evolution of the Observatory, from its early, single instrument, state to its current multi-telescope and multi-instrument capabilities. I will finish by outlining the future of the Observatory and the site.

description: The so-called diluted-random-cluster model may be viewed as a random-cluster representation of the Blume--Capel model. It has three parameters, a vertex parameter $a$, an edge parameter $p$, and a cluster weighting factor $q$. Stochastic comparisons of measures are developed for the `vertex marginal' when $q\in[1,2]$, and the `edge marginal' when $q\in[1,\oo)$. Taken in conjunction with arguments used earlier for the random-cluster model, these permit a rigorous study of part of the phase diagram of the Blume--Capel model.

description: In this paper, we study different Solar System tests in a modified Teleparallel gravity theory based on an arbitrary function $f(T,B)$ which depends on the scalar torsion $T$ and the boundary term $B$. To do this, we first find new perturbed spherically symmetric solutions around Schwarzschild for different power-law forms of the arbitrary Lagrangian. Then, for each model we calculated the photon sphere, perihelion shift, deflection of light, Cassini experiment, Shapiro delay and the gravitational redshift. Finally, we confront these computations with different known experiments from these Solar System tests to put different bounds on the mentioned models. We then conclude that $f(T,B)$ is compatible with these Solar System experiments with a wide range of parameters which are relevant for cosmology.

description: Non-Hermitian systems have attracted considerable attention for their broad impacts on various physical platforms and peculiar applications. In non-Hermitian systems, both eigenvalues and eigenstates simultaneously coalesce at exceptional points (EPs). As one of the remarkable features of EPs, the field chirality is commonly considered perfect, which is utilized as an intriguing feature to control wave propagation and regarded as a criterion of EP. However, in this work, we discover an imperfect chirality of eigenmodes at the EPs in an optical whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavity perturbed by two strong nanoscatterers. This counterintuitive phenomenon originates from a strong frequency-dependence of the scattering between the counterpropagating waves at an "effective scatterer", which could be explained by a first-principle-based model considering a dynamic multiple-scattering process of the azimuthally propagating modes. We find that the generally imperfect chirality at the EP tends to be globally perfect with the decrease of the scattering effect induced by the nanoscatterers. Furthermore, the chirality also becomes locally perfect with the decrease of the relative azimuthal angle between the two strong nanoscatterers. This work provides a new understanding of the general properties of chirality at EPs. It will benefit the potential applications enabled by the chirality features of non-Hermitian systems at EPs.

description: There has been substantial commentary on the role of cyberattacks carried out by low-level cybercrime actors in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We analyse 358k website defacement attacks, 1.7M UDP amplification DDoS attacks, 1764 posts made by 372 users on Hack Forums mentioning the two countries, and 441 Telegram announcements (with 58k replies) of a volunteer hacking group for two months before and four months after the invasion. We find the conflict briefly but notably caught the attention of low-level cybercrime actors, with significant increases in online discussion and both types of attacks targeting Russia and Ukraine. However, there was little evidence of high-profile actions; the role of these players in the ongoing hybrid warfare is minor, and they should be separated from persistent and motivated 'hacktivists' in state-sponsored operations. Their involvement in the conflict appears to have been short-lived and fleeting, with a clear loss of interest in discussing the situation and carrying out both website defacement and DDoS attacks against either Russia or Ukraine after just a few weeks.

description: We consider a network of smart sensors for an edge computing application that sample a time-varying signal and send updates to a base station for remote global monitoring. Sensors are equipped with sensing and compute, and can either send raw data or process them on-board before transmission. Limited hardware resources at the edge generate a fundamental latency-accuracy trade-off: raw measurements are inaccurate but timely, whereas accurate processed updates are available after processing delay. Hence, one needs to decide when sensors should transmit raw measurements or rely on local processing to maximize network monitoring performance. To tackle this sensing design problem, we model an estimation-theoretic optimization framework that embeds both computation and communication latency, and propose a Reinforcement Learning-based approach that dynamically allocates computational resources at each sensor. Effectiveness of our proposed approach is validated through numerical experiments motivated by smart sensing for the Internet of Drones and self-driving vehicles. In particular, we show that, under constrained computation at the base station, monitoring performance can be further improved by an online sensor selection.

description: The purpose of this study is to take a close look at Korea‘s biodiesel developing trends and assess economic feasibility based on benefit-cost analysis. This study finally presents directions to actively promote the biodiesel in Korea. The role of bio-energy is significantly emphasized due to the continuous rise in oil price and environmental problems. According to some researches that have considered various factors such as breed, productivity, production costs and levels of technology, the most feasible bio-ingredients are rape and barley. By means of the benefit-cost analysis, rape has positive values in the net profits when considered with indirect benefits. Also, it is estimated that rape is feasible when produced in place of barley for double-cropping. Soybean is feasible when cultivated in fallow grounds. When all factors are taken into consideration, the government's support has to be continued in order to reduce a burden of production costs at the initial stage of the biofuel's introduction. It is necessary to develop technology to minimize environmental impact and the requirement of grain production to the extent of the existing cultivation system. Moreover, considering the characteristics of each crop and a detailed strategy on each crop for improving productivity and reducing production cost are required.

description: An error-corrected quantum processor will require millions of qubits, accentuating the advantage of nanoscale devices with small footprints, such as silicon quantum dots. However, as for every device with nanoscale dimensions, disorder at the atomic level is detrimental to qubit uniformity. Here we investigate two spin qubits confined in a silicon double-quantum-dot artificial molecule. Each quantum dot has a robust shell structure and, when operated at an occupancy of 5 or 13 electrons, has single spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ valence electron in its $p$- or $d$-orbital, respectively. These higher electron occupancies screen atomic-level disorder. The larger multielectron wavefunctions also enable significant overlap between neighbouring qubit electrons, while making space for an interstitial exchange-gate electrode. We implement a universal gate set using the magnetic field gradient of a micromagnet for electrically-driven single qubit gates, and a gate-voltage-controlled inter-dot barrier to perform two-qubit gates by pulsed exchange coupling. We use this gate set to demonstrate a Bell state preparation between multielectron qubits with fidelity 90.3%, confirmed by two-qubit state tomography using spin parity measurements.
Extrapolation before imputation reduces bias when imputing censored covariates

description: Modeling symptom progression to identify informative subjects for a new Huntington's disease clinical trial is problematic since time to diagnosis, a key covariate, can be heavily censored. Imputation is an appealing strategy where censored covariates are replaced with their conditional means, but existing methods saw over 200% bias under heavy censoring. Calculating these conditional means well requires estimating and then integrating over the survival function of the censored covariate from the censored value to infinity. To estimate the survival function flexibly, existing methods use the semiparametric Cox model with Breslow's estimator, leaving the integrand for the conditional means (the estimated survival function) undefined beyond the observed data. The integral is then estimated up to the largest observed covariate value, and this approximation can cut off the tail of the survival function and lead to severe bias, particularly under heavy censoring. We propose a hybrid approach that splices together the semiparametric survival estimator with a parametric extension, making it possible to approximate the integral up to infinity. In simulation studies, our proposed approach of extrapolation then imputation substantially reduces the bias seen with existing imputation methods, even when the parametric extension was misspecified. We further demonstrate how imputing with corrected conditional means helps to prioritize patients for future clinical trials.

description: We discuss the angular distribution of the lepton pair in the Drell-Yan process, hadron+hadron -> γ^* X -> l^+ l^- X. This process gives information on the spin-density matrix ρ^{(q,\bar{q})} of the annihilating quark-antiquark pair in q+\bar{q} -> l^+ l^-. There is strong experimental evidence that even for unpolarised initial hadrons ρ^{(q,\bar{q})} is nontrivial, and therefore the quark-antiquark system is polarised. We discuss the possibilities of a general ρ^{(q,\bar{q})} -which could be entangled- and a factorising ρ^{(q,\bar{q})}. We argue that instantons may lead to a nontrivial ρ^{(q,\bar{q})} of the type indicated by experiments.

description: For a multi-robot team that collaboratively explores an unknown environment, it is of vital importance that collected information is efficiently shared among robots in order to support exploration and navigation tasks. Practical constraints of wireless channels, such as limited bandwidth, urge robots to carefully select information to be transmitted. In this paper, we consider the case where environmental information is modeled using a 3D Scene Graph, a hierarchical map representation that describes both geometric and semantic aspects of the environment. Then, we leverage graph-theoretic tools, namely graph spanners, to design greedy algorithms that efficiently compress 3D Scene Graphs with the aim of enabling communication between robots under bandwidth constraints. Our compression algorithms are navigation-oriented in that they are designed to approximately preserve shortest paths between locations of interest, while meeting a user-specified communication budget constraint. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated in synthetic robot navigation experiments in a realistic simulator. A video abstract is available at https://youtu.be/nKYXU5VC6A8.

description: In the current WTO negotiations, the developing and the developed countries take opposite view regarding the criteria for green box subsidies supposed to be decoupled from current production levels and prices. This study investigates whether U.S. PFC and direct payment subsidies are truly decoupled from production or not by modeling the farmers' risk attitudes in a non-structural approach and estimating the effect of decoupled payments on production by the change in risk attitudes. The effect of decoupled payments is not only statistically insignificant on corn and soybean acreage but also very small in magnitude.

description: We report novel cosmological constraints obtained from cosmic voids in the final BOSS DR12 dataset. They arise from the joint analysis of geometric and dynamic distortions of average void shapes (i.e., the stacked void-galaxy cross-correlation function) in redshift space. Our model uses tomographic deprojection to infer real-space void profiles and self-consistently accounts for the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) effect and redshift-space distortions (RSD) without any prior assumptions on cosmology or structure formation. It is derived from first physical principles and provides an extremely good description of the data at linear perturbation order. We validate this model with the help of mock catalogs and apply it to the final BOSS data to constrain the RSD and AP parameters $f/b$ and $D_AH/c$, where $f$ is the linear growth rate, $b$ the linear galaxy bias, $D_A$ the comoving angular diameter distance, $H$ the Hubble rate, and $c$ the speed of light. In addition, we include two nuisance parameters in our analysis to marginalize over potential systematics. We obtain $f/b=0.540\pm0.091$ and $D_AH/c=0.588\pm0.004$ from the full void sample at a mean redshift of $z=0.51$. In a flat $Λ$CDM cosmology, this implies $Ω_\mathrm{m}=0.312\pm0.020$ for the present-day matter density parameter. When we use additional information from the survey mocks to calibrate our model, these constraints improve to $f/b=0.347\pm0.023$, $D_AH/c=0.588\pm0.003$, and $Ω_\mathrm{m}=0.310\pm0.017$. However, we emphasize that the calibration depends on the specific model of cosmology and structure formation assumed in the mocks, so the calibrated results should be considered less robust. Nevertheless, our calibration-independent constraints are among the tightest of their kind to date, demonstrating the immense potential of using cosmic voids for cosmology in current and future data.

description: The Ministry of National Defense (MND) is the biggest governmental consumer in the Korean agro-food sector. In 2006, the quantity of purchased agricultural products was about 260 thousand tons and the MND spent about 300 billion won for this purchase. The purpose of this paper is to review the current status of the food purchase system of MND and to suggest renewed roles of MND and the agro-food sector for better alliance. After evaluating the current food purchase system of MND, two main roles of MND were suggested: offering opportunities for Korean agro-food suppliers to sell their high-quality products and developing a purchase system to promote competition among suppliers. As the roles of the agro-food sector, stable supplying of cheap agro-food and making differentiation of domestic agro-food are suggested. There are only few studies due to the difficulty of accessing information, or numerical data, about the agro-food purchase system of MND, but discussing the purchase system of MND to boost the competitiveness of Korean agriculture is very important. This paper is supposed to offer a starting point for this discussion.

description: Recent years have seen a series of large-scale photometric surveys with the aim of detecting substructure in nearby dwarf galaxies. Some of these objects display a varying distribution of each stellar population, reflecting their star formation histories. Also, dwarf galaxies are dominated by dark matter, therefore luminous substructure may represent a perturbation in the underlying dark material. Substructure can also be the effect of tidal interaction, such as the disruption of the Sagittarius dSph by the Milky Way. Therefore, substructure in dwarf galaxies manifests the stellar, structural and kinematic evolution of these objects.

Angular diameter distance estimates from the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in hydrodynamical cluster simulations

description: The angular-diameter distance D_A of a galaxy cluster can be measuread by combining its X-ray emission with the cosmic microwave background fluctution due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect. The application of this distance indicator usually assumes that the cluster is spherically symmetric, the gas is distributed according to the isothermal beta-model, and the X-ray temperature is an unbiased measure of the electron temperature. We test these assumptions with galaxy clusters extracted from an extended set of cosmological N-body/hydrodynamical simulations of a LCDM concordance cosmology, which include the effect of radiative cooling, star formation and energy feedback from supernovae. We find that, due to the steep temperature gradients which are present in the central regions of simulated clusters, the assumption of isothermal gas leads to a significant underestimate of D_A. This bias is efficiently corrected by using the polytropic version of the beta-model to account for the presence of temperature gradients. In this case, once irregular clusters are removed, the correct value of D_A is recovered with a ~ 5 per cent accuracy on average, with a ~ 20 per cent intrinsic scatter due to cluster asphericity. This result is valid when using either the electron temperature or a spectroscopic-like temperature. When using instead the emission-weighted definition for the temperature of the simulated clusters, D_A is biased low by \~ 20 per cent. We discuss the implications of our results for an accurate determination of the Hubble constant H_0 and of the density parameter Omega_m. We find that H_0 can be potentially recovered with exquisite precision, while the resulting estimate of Omega_m, which is unbiased, has typical errors Delta(Omega_m) ~ 0.05.

description: The distinction of ‘blue’ (liquid) and ‘green’ (vapour) water flow is introduced to make possible an assessment of water flows to be appropriated for future food production. The author offers a ‘backcasting approach’ in assessing the consumptive water requirements for feeding humanity by 2050 and from where the needed water may be provided (irrigation, crop-per-drop improvements and horizontal expansion into grasslands and forests). She concludes that food security will demand a major shift in thinking.

description: Future food security can be achieved only by delivering substantial increases in agricultural production, but this has important implications for water availability. Water scarcity is not currently a major issue in sub-Saharan Africa, but it would be a mistake to neglect this issue. It would be a mistake also to assume that only plans for irrigated agriculture are affected. It should be recognised that a land-use decision is also a water-use decision. A plan based on improving rain-fed agriculture through adoption of measures to make better use of rainfall brings trade-offs in that there may be less runoff to satisfy the water needs of downstream users and environmental functions. Planning for future food security requires integrated analysis of land-use and water resources issues.

description: Quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated without inputs (i.e. each party using a fixed measurement setting) in a network with independent sources. Here we consider this effect on ring networks, and show that the underlying quantum strategy can be partially characterized, or self-tested, from observed correlations. Applying these results to the triangle network allows us to show that the nonlocal distribution of Renou et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 140401 (2019)] requires that (i) all sources produce a minimal amount of entanglement, (ii) all local measurements are entangled, and (iii) each local outcome features a minimal entropy. Hence we show that the triangle network allows for genuine network quantum nonlocality and certifiable randomness.

description: The XENON1T collaboration recently reported an excess in electron recoil events in the energy range between $1-7\,\mathrm{keV}$. This excess could be understood to originate from the known solar neutrino flux, if neutrinos couple to a light vector-mediator with strength $g_{νN}$ that kinetically mixes with the photon with strength $χ$, and $g_{νN}χ\sim10^{-13}$. Here, we show that such coupling values can naturally arise in a renormalizable model of long-range vector-mediated neutrino self-interactions. The model could be discriminated from other explanations of the XENON1T excess by the characteristic $1/T^2$ energy dependence of the neutrino-electron scattering cross section. Other signatures include invisible Higgs and $Z$ decays and lepto-philic charged Higgses at a few $100\,\mathrm{GeV}$. ALPS II will probe part of the viable parameter space.

description: There have been dramatic changes in the hydrology of many of the dry areas of South India in recent years as a result of increased groundwater-based irrigation, watershed development and land use change. Although intensive development of water resources has brought about huge benefits, its very success has thrown up new challenges. Demand and competition for water has increased to the extent that — in some areas — current levels of annual water use are so high that, in all but the wettest years, annual water use approximates towards annual replenishment of surface and ground water resources. In these areas, it is clear that the emphasis should switch from development to the management of water resources to ensure that water is allocated to activities with the highest economic and social value. Although current watershed development programmes bring a range of benefits, they may also change the temporal and spatial pattern of water availability and use. This can result in significant negative trade-offs such as more unreliable domestic water supplies in ‘downstream’ areas, particularly during low rainfall or drought years. As part of the Karnataka Watershed Development Project (KAWAD), a water resource audit assessed the status of water resources in the project watersheds and identified resource management practices that should be promoted by the project. This paper summarises the audit’s findings and recommendations, the main lessons learned and progress to date in implementing recommendations. For comparison, findings and recommendations from a water audit in southern Andhra Pradesh are also summarised.
Dynamical Transition Theory of Hexagonal Pattern Formations

description: The main goal of this paper is to understand the formation of hexagonal patterns from the dynamical transition theory point of view. We consider the transitions from a steady state of an abstract nonlinear dissipative system. To shed light on the formation of mixed mode patterns such as the hexagonal pattern, we consider the case where the linearized operator of the system has two critical real eigenvalues, at a critical value $λ_c$ of a control parameter $λ$ with associated eigenmodes having a roll and rectangular pattern. By using center manifold reduction, we obtain the reduced equations of the system near the critical transition value $λ_c$. By a through analysis of these equations, we fully characterize all possible transition scenarios when the coefficients of the quadratic part of the reduced equations do not vanish. We consider three problems, two variants of the 2D Swift-Hohenberg equation and the 3D surface tension driven convection, to demonstrate that all the main theoretical results we obtain here are indeed realizable.

Slowly Rotating Black Holes in 4D Einstein Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

description: Since the recent derivation of a well-defined $D\rightarrow 4$ limit for regularized 4D Einstein Gauss-Bonnet (4DEGB) gravity, there has been considerable interest in testing it as an alternative to Einstein's general theory of relativity. In this paper we construct slowly rotating black hole solutions for 4DEGB gravity in asymptotically flat, de Sitter, and anti-de Sitter spacetimes. At leading order in the rotation parameter, exact solutions of the metric functions are derived and studied for all three of these cases. We compare how physical properties (innermost stable circular orbits, photon rings, black hole shadow, etc.) of the solutions are modified by varying coupling strengths of the 4DEGB theory relative to standard Einstein gravity results. We find that a vanishing or negative cosmological constant in 4DEGB gravity enforces a minimum mass on the black hole solutions, whereas a positive cosmological constant enforces both a minimum \textit{and} maximum mass with a horizon root structure directly analogous to the Reissner-Nordström de Sitter spacetime. Besides this, many of the physical properties are qualitatively similar to general relativity, with the greatest deviations typically being found in the low (near-minimal) mass regime.

Conceptualizing the child through an ethic of care : custody and access law reform in Canada
Creators: name: Kelly, Fiona Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Since the late 1970's there has been a major ideological and normative shift in the way in which "the child" is conceptualized throughout the western world. Children have gone from being understood as vulnerable and in need of protection, to being perceived as autonomous, rights-bearing individuals. Related to this shift has been a change in what is considered to be in a child's "best interests". Increasingly, it is assumed, at least in the context of family law, that children's best interests are met by maintaining ongoing contact with both parents following separation or divorce, and that this can best be achieved by introducing into family law a presumption in favour of "shared parenting". This thesis argues that such an approach to custody and access decision-making, and the particular conceptualization of the child upon which it is based, is flawed because it fails to take into account the individual circumstances of each child's life, ignores the relational nature of childhood, diminishes the importance of pre-separation caregiving relationships, and denies the child a voice. In light of these inadequacies, this thesis proposes an alternative way in which to conceptualize the child based on the "ethic of care". Unlike the protectionist and rights models, an ethic of care understands children in a relational context, grounds decision-making in the actual circumstances of children's lives, and emphasizes the actual activity of care. The family law reform proposals currently being discussed in Canada, most particularly Bill C-22 (the Bill that, if passed, would amend the custody and access provisions of the Divorce Act), largely fail to incorporate an ethic of care. While Bill C-22 could be amended so that it is more aligned with an ethic of care, the rhetoric of justice, rights and equality, and the pro-contact regime this rhetoric has produced, is so ingrained in the best interests test that it may be impossible for the Bill to ever adequately incorporate an ethic of care. It may therefore be necessary to replace the best interests of the child test with a new decision-making framework that derives from the ethic of care.
Thermal inertia effect of reactive sources on one-dimensional discrete combustion wave propagation

description: In the present work, the discrete flame model [1] is augmented by introducing the thermal inertia of particles in the preheating zone. The effect of particle thermal inertia on flame speed, propagation limits, and near-limits dynamics of one-dimensional discrete combustion waves is studied using the new model. It is found that, with the increase of particle thermal inertia, the propagation velocity of the discrete flame decreases due to a smaller heating rate of the particles. Besides, particle thermal inertia extends the propagation limits compared to the prediction of the old model. Furthermore, it is mathematically proven that the nonphysical branch of the solutions for the discrete flame speeds, found using the old discrete model, is a set of solutions for the propagation limits of steady-state discrete flames with particle thermal inertia included. The flame speed predicted using the new model is also compared with that determined analytically using a continuum model considering the thermal inertia of the condensed phase [2]. We find that the discrete flame speeds predicted by the both models become closer to each other with increasing particle thermal inertia. Finally, the two models converge regardless of the discrete nature of the heat sources when particle thermal inertia is large enough so that can limit the flame propagation. The particle thermal inertia controlled flames could be regarded as a new kind of combustion regime.
