description: We study one-parameter expanding evolution families of simply connected domains in the complex plane described by infinite systems of evolution parameters. These evolution parameters in some cases admit Hamiltonian formulation and lead to integrable systems. One example of such parameters is complex moments for the Laplacian growth that form a Whitham-Toda integrable hierarchy. Another example we deal with is related to expanding coefficient bodies for conformal maps given by Löwner subordination chains. The coefficients bodies are proved to form a Liouville partially integrable Hamiltonian system for each fixed index and the first integrals are obtained. We also discuss the contact structure of this system.

Κρέας

description: Η παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία έχει σαν θέμα τα αντιβιοτικά στο κρέας και στα κρεατοσκευάσματα. Είναι γεγονός ότι η ανακάλυψη των αντιβιοτικών στις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα έδωσε στον άνθρωπο τη δυνατότητα να καταπολεμήσει λοιμώξεις που μέχρι εκείνη τη στιγμή απειλούσαν τη ζωή του. Η δράση των αντιβιοτικών στηρίζεται στην παρεμπόδιση κάποιας μεταβολικής οδού ή στην παρέμβασή τους σε κάποια ζωτικής σημασίας δομή του κυττάρου των μικροοργανισμών, όπως αναστέλλουν τη σύνθεση του κυτταρικού τοιχώματος, την πρωτεϊνική σύνθεση, τη σύνθεση των πυρηνικών οξέων τη λειτουργία της κυτταρικής μεμβράνης ή τη σύνθεση ορισμένων σημαντικών μεταβολιτών. Η χορήγηση αντιβιοτικών γρήγορα πέρασε και στην κτηνιατρική, όχι μόνο για θεραπεία, αλλά και για μεταφύλαξη, πρόληψη και ως παράγοντας αύξησης της αποδοτικότητας και της ανάπτυξης των ζώων, κυρίως όσων προορίζονταν για την παραγωγή κρέατος ή ζωϊκών προϊόντων. Πολύ σύντομα, όμως, η χρήση τους έγινε ανεξέλεγκτη και υπέρμετρη και άρχισαν να εμφανίζονται ανησυχίες, σχετικά με το αν τα κατάλοιπα αυτών των φαρμάκων μπορούν να προκαλέσουν προβλήματα στην υγεία, όπως αλλεργίες ή πεπτικά προβλήματα. Το πιο σημαντικό πρόβλημα όμως είναι η ανάπτυξη βακτηρίων ανθεκτικά στα αντιβιοτικά φάρμακα, τα οποία κινούνται μεταξύ ανθρώπου- ζώων- περιβάλλοντος προς κάθε κατεύθυνση. Η ανάπτυξη της μικροβιακής ανθεκτικότητας μπορεί να απειλήσει τη δημόσια υγεία καθώς η αντιμετώπιση τους καθιστάται δύσκολη. Για τον περιορισμό της μικροβιακής ανθεκτικότητας απαιτείται παγκόσμια συντονισμένη προσπάθεια . Το νομοθετικό πλαίσιο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης αλλά και της Ελλάδας είναι ιδιαίτερα αυστηρό και καλύπτει όλα τα στάδια παραγωγής, μεταφοράς και διάθεσης του κρέατος και των ζωϊκών προϊόντων. Ο έλεγχος καταλοίπων αντιβιοτικών στο κρέας και τα κρεατοσκευάσματα απασχολεί και την ερευνητική κοινότητα. Για τον προσδιορισμό καταλοίπων χρησιμοποιούνται διάφορες μέθοδοι ανίχνευσης, επιβεβαιωτικές και διαλογής.

description: As a result of urban development farmland in many countries is under pressure. Reasons to preserve farmland are related to cultural heritage, food safety, open space, the environment, but also slowing and restricting development is a reason. To protect farmland countries use different land use policies. This paper will look specifically at two jurisdictions: The Netherlands and a particularly rich farming area in British Columbia, Canada. For these areas we will investigate how the institutions and laws present in these jurisdictions contribute to agricultural land preservation. We will analyse farmland values in a GIS-based hedonic pricing framework to answer this question. This combination enables us to analyse direct impacts of laws and regulations within the hedonic pricing framework. Moreover, we can use farm values to analyse farm survivability, and the level of speculation on farmland in the urban-rural fringe, where farmland is under urban pressure.

description: We discuss physical properties and the baryonic content of the Warm-hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) at low redshifts. Cosmological simulations predict that the WHIM contains a large fraction of the baryons at z=0 in the form of highly-ionized gas at temperatures between 10^5 and 10^7 K. Using high-resolution ultraviolet spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) we have studied the WHIM at low redshifts by searching for intervening OVI and thermally broadened Lyman alpha (BL) absorption toward a number of quasars and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Our measurements imply cosmological mass densities of Omega_b(OVI)~0.0027/h_75 and Omega_b(BL)~0.0058/h_75. Our results suggest that the WHIM at low z contains more baryonic mass than stars and gas in galaxies.

description: We test the hypothesis that the extent to which one obtains information on a given topic through Wikipedia depends on the language in which it is consulted. Controlling the size factor, we investigate this hypothesis for a number of 25 subject areas. Since Wikipedia is a central part of the web-based information landscape, this indicates a language-related, linguistic bias. The article therefore deals with the question of whether Wikipedia exhibits this kind of linguistic relativity or not. From the perspective of educational science, the article develops a computational model of the information landscape from which multiple texts are drawn as typical input of web-based reading. For this purpose, it develops a hybrid model of intra- and intertextual similarity of different parts of the information landscape and tests this model on the example of 35 languages and corresponding Wikipedias. In this way the article builds a bridge between reading research, educational science, Wikipedia research and computational linguistics.

description: Decoy states have recently been proposed as a useful method for substantially improving the performance of quantum key distribution. Here, we present a general theory of the decoy state protocol based on only two decoy states and one signal state. We perform optimization on the choice of intensities of the two decoy states and the signal state. Our result shows that a decoy state protocol with only two types of decoy states--the vacuum and a weak decoy state--asymptotically approaches the theoretical limit of the most general type of decoy state protocols (with an infinite number of decoy states). We also present a one-decoy-state protocol. Moreover, we provide estimations on the effects of statistical fluctuations and suggest that, even for long distance (larger than 100km) QKD, our two-decoy-state protocol can be implemented with only a few hours of experimental data. In conclusion, decoy state quantum key distribution is highly practical.

description: A stochastic model of a continuous nondemolition observation of a free quantum Brownian motion is presented. The nonlinear stochastic wave equation describing the posterior dynamics of the observed quantum system is solved in a Gaussian case for a free particle of mass m. It is shown that the dispersion of the wave packet does not increase to infinity like for the free unobserved particle but tends to the finite limit.

Intelligent fusion of sensor data for product quality assessment in an industrial machine
Creators: name: Jain, Abhinandan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Sensor fusion (or data fusion) refers to the combined and synergistic use of information from multiple sensors in order to increase the reliability, accuracy, and overall effectiveness of the sensor-based operation. This thesis investigates knowledge-based fuzzy sensor fusion methods that reliably fuse both redundant and complementary data. Fuzzy sensor fusion methods use fuzzy logic in arriving at a "fusion decision", and they can fuse data that are imprecise, incomplete, or even conflicting, to provide meaningful information required for decision-making related to a process. Such decisions are useful, for example, in assigning quality grades to products, assessing the performance of a process, and in feedback control, both direct and supervisory. 'Fuzzy techniques are particularly useful when the errors and uncertainties associated with the sensors are subjectively assessed rather than based on precise statistics. These methods are applicable when the plant/process is complex, incompletely known, and difficult to model either analytically or experimentally. In this thesis, the uncertainty and error in sensor data are considered to be both subjective and qualitative and hence related to the concept of fuzziness. The thesis specifically considers the implementation of fuzzy sensor fusion methods for the quality assessment in industrial production machines. Primary attention is given in this regard to an industrial fishcutting machine developed in the Industrial Automation Laboratory, University of British Columbia. Also some attention is given to CNC router machines used in material cutting. Three appropriate methods of multiple-sensor fusion using fuzzy logic are adopted, implemented, and evaluated in the present work. The first sensor fusion method is based on Mamdani's max-prod (or, sup-prod) composition, and it places equal weights on all the data sources, without considering their merit or importance. The second sensor fusion method is based on degree of certainty. It assigns weights proportional to the degree of certainty of sensor data, and in addition to the fused output, it provides information about the certainty of the output. The third sensor fusion method is based on the concept of compatibility of data. It provides a fused output and additional knowledge about the degree of confidence in that output. This method is specifically effective, when sensors provide conflicting information. Thus, fusion is expected to improve the reliability of the sensor information and hence the knowledge of the system. The three knowledge-based sensor fusion techniques are implemented in a prototype fishcutting machine. The results are critically examined to determine the effectiveness and relative merits of the techniques.

description: For a given blocklength we determine the number of interleavers which have spread equal to two. Using this, we find out the probability that a randomly chosen interleaver has spread two. We show that as blocklength increases, this probability increases but very quickly converges to the value $1-e^{-2} \approx 0.8647$. Subsequently, we determine a lower bound on the probability of an interleaver having spread at least $s$. We show that this lower bound converges to the value $e^{-2(s-2)^{2}}$, as the blocklength increases.

description: Since 1973, British Columbia created an Agricultural Land Reserve to protect farmland from development. In this study, we employ GIS-based hedonic pricing models of farmland values to examine factors that affect farmland prices. We take spatial lag and error dependence into explicit account. However, the use of spatial econometric techniques in hedonic pricing models is problematic because there is uncertainty with respect to the choice of the explanatory variables and the spatial weighting matrix. Bayesian model averaging techniques in combination with Markov Chain Monte Carlo Model Composition are used to allow for both types of model uncertainty.

description: Background: Agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. Therefore, numerous studies have assessed the factors motivating farmers to introduce environmental practices. However, the determinants of farmers’ decisions to reduce carbon emissions in line with the new net-zero goal are not well-understood. Methods: This study aimed to explore factors affecting UK farmers’ adoption of carbon emissions reduction practices using a mixed method approach based on 101 online survey responses. The survey questionnaire included a combination of closed and open-ended questions. Three additional in-depth interviews were conducted. No responses were obtained from farmers in NI. The respondents were from all farming sectors with majority being cereal growers and lowland livestock farmers. Factors explored include a range of motivating factors, perceived barriers to adoption of carbon emission reduction practices, farmers perceived behavioural control and farmers innovativeness. Attributes of farm and farmer such as location, farm type, farm size, age, and level of education Results: Multiple linear regression analysis shows that 31.5% of farmer’s adoption of carbon emissions reduction practices can be explained by five factors, which are farm size, financial incentives, farmers innovativeness, farmers perceived behavioural control and crop farming only. Further cluster analysis showed a typology of four categories of farmers with Early Adopters and Late Majorities reporting more actions in reducing carbon emissions than innovators, and Laggards taking fewest or no actions at all. Larger farmers and crop farmers are more likely to take more actions than animal and mixed farmers. Those who take less or no actions in reducing carbon emissions in farms were more likely to believe that there is not much farmers can do. Qualitative data analysis suggests that more accessible information and knowledge transfer should be provided to unlock the potential of achieving Net Zero target by 2050.

description: The delay in light travel time along the line of sight generates an anisotropy in the power spectrum of 21cm brightness fluctuations from the epoch of reionization. We show that when the fluctuations in the neutral hydrogen fraction become non-linear at the later stages of reionization, the light-cone anisotropy becomes of order unity on scales >50 comoving Mpc. During this period the density fluctuations and the associated anisotropy generated by peculiar velocities are negligible in comparison.

AbstractTriheptanoin (DOJOLVI™), a synthetic medium odd-chain (C7) triglyceride, is an effective and generally well tolerated source of calories and fatty acids for the treatment of paediatric and adult patients with molecularly-confirmed long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAODs). The beneficial effects of triheptanoin are assumed to be linked to the anaplerotic properties of triheptanoin, which set it apart from the standard medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. In a pivotal, randomized, phase 2 trial comparing triheptanoin to trioctanoin in patients with nonsevere LC-FAODs and normal cardiovascular function at baseline, patients in both treatment groups had similar mean changes from baseline in measures of cardiac function and structure after 4 months’ treatment. In patients with severe LC-FAODs, 78-weeks’ treatment with triheptanoin reduced pretreatment mean annualized event and duration rates for major clinical events in an open-label phase 2 trial (CL201). The therapeutic effect of triheptanoin appeared to persist during longer-term therapy in a long-term extension study (CL202). The most frequently reported adverse events were gastrointestinal.

description: Recently it has been suggested to use the perigee of the proposed LARES/WEBER-SAT satellite in order to measure the secular precession which would be induced on such Keplerian orbital element by a weak-field modification of gravity occurring in some Brane-World scenarios put forth by Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati. This precession, derived for the first time by Lue and Starkman, amounts to 4\times 10-3 milliarcseconds per year for an Earth orbiting satellite. In this paper we show that, according to the recently released EIGEN-CG01C Earth gravity model the quite larger systematic errors due to the Newtonian part of the terrestrial gravitational potential would vanish any attempts to detect a so small effect. The situation is much more favorable in the Solar System scenario. Indeed, the non-Newtonian perihelion advance of Mars, which is the currently best tracked planet, has recently been measured with an accuracy of 1\times 10^-4 arcseconds per century; the Dvali precession is 4\times 10^-4 arcseconds per century. A suitable combination of the perihelia and the nodes of Mars and Mercury, which disentangles the Dvali effect from the competing larger Newtonian and general relativistic precessions, might allow to reach a 1-sigma 47% level of accuracy.

description: Agricultural policies adopted by developed countries are considered distortional and detrimental to less developed countries (LDCs). This paper discusses the adverse impacts on less developed countries of the agricultural support regimes of the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). Despite the fact that the budget for agriculture in these constituencies has the same order of magnitude, we find that the EU relies much more heavily on agricultural support than does the US. Specifically, the EU provides agricultural producers with an amount of support that is about two-and-a-half times that of the US, and for most commodities a larger share of farmers’ income stems from support measures as well. While the composition of producer support differs between the EU and US, the per-dollar negative impact of the policies on farmers in LDCs is about equal. Finally, we analyse the medium-term impact of the 2003 reform of common agricultural policy in the EU. We estimate the reform will lead to a reduction of EU producer support of 20 percent by 2013 and will reduce the per-dollar negative impact on LDCs of the policy as well.

description: Recording muscle tendon junction displacements during movement, allows separate investigation of the muscle and tendon behaviour, respectively. In order to provide a fully-automatic tracking method, we employ a novel deep learning approach to detect the position of the muscle tendon junction in ultrasound images. We utilize the attention mechanism to enable the network to focus on relevant regions and to obtain a better interpretation of the results. Our data set consists of a large cohort of 79 healthy subjects and 28 subjects with movement limitations performing passive full range of motion and maximum contraction movements. Our trained network shows robust detection of the muscle tendon junction on a diverse data set of varying quality with a mean absolute error of 2.55$\pm$1 mm. We show that our approach can be applied for various subjects and can be operated in real-time.

description: We look at the expectation values for quantized linear symplectic maps on the multidimensional torus and their distribution in the semiclassical limit. We construct super-scars that are stable under the arithmetic symmetries of the system and localize around invariant manifolds. We show that these super-scars exist only when there are isotropic rational subspaces, invariant under the linear map. In the case where there are no such scars, we compute the variance of the fluctuations of the matrix elements for the desymmetrized system, and present a conjecture for their limiting distributions.

description: Frontal photopolymerization (FPP) provides a versatile method for the rapid fabrication of solid polymer network materials by exposing photosensitive molecules to light. Dimensional control of structures created by this process is crucial in applications ranging from microfluidics and coatings to dentistry, and the availability of a predictive mathematical model of FPP is needed to achieve this control. Previous work has relied on numerical solutions of the governing kinetic equations in validating the model against experiments because of the intractability of the governing nonlinear equations. The present paper provides exact solutions to these equations in the general case in which the optical attenuation decreases (photobleaching) or increases (photodarkening) with photopolymerization. These exact solutions are of mathematical and physical interest because they support traveling waves of polymerization that propagate logarithmically or linearly in time, depending on the evolution of optical attenuation of the photopolymerized material.

description: Reproductive performance on the dairy farm affects the dairy’s profit because it directly affects milk production, the availability of replacements, the amounts of voluntary and involuntary culling, breeding costs, and costs associated with veterinary care (Britt, 1985). Reproductive management programs selected for implementation differ across farms due to varying on-farm costs, such as labor costs, opportunity costs of management and labor, as well as facilities, farm goals and values, and management styles. The objective of this paper is to summarize survey data in order to aid in providing economic insight into why varying types of farms utilize different methods of reproductive management and differing reproductive technologies.

 Current status: Myrsidea satbhai Ansari, 1951.
 Type host: Turdoides terricolor terricolor (Hodgson) = Turdoides striata (Dumont)
 Type locality: Faisalabad [as Lyallpur, Punjab], Pakistan.
 Type material: Holotype female (labelled as “ TYPE ”) deposited in the the NHML [slide NHML 010661099]. There are three further slides of M. satbhai in the NHML, each labelled as “ PARATYPE ” [NHML 010661102, 010661103, 010661104] including a total of 10 lice with locality data in agreement with Ansari’s (1951: 180) text, but without the date. Considering that Ansari (1951: 180) only listed the holotype, the allotype male and a paratype female, it is obvious that seven of those “ paratypes ” have no type status. One male, with the note “Fig. d genitalia” written in pencil, may be the allotype, but it cannot be confirmed because there is at least another male in the series. It is likely that the mislabeling of this large series as paratypes happened during the study made by Tandan & Clay (1971: 216) who, in addition to the holotype and allotype, listed a total of four females, three males, and one nymph as paratypes of M. satbhai.

description: We study the classification of Lefschetz fibrations up to stabilization by fiber sum operations. We show that for each genus there is a `universal' fibration f^0_g with the property that, if two Lefschetz fibrations over S^2 have the same Euler-Poincare characteristic and signature, the same numbers of reducible singular fibers of each type, and admit sections with the same self-intersection, then after repeatedly fiber summing with f^0_g they become isomorphic. As a consequence, any two compact integral symplectic 4-manifolds with the same values of (c_1^2, c_2, c_1.[w], [w]^2) become symplectomorphic after blowups and symplectic sums with f^0_g.

description: We examine the temperature dependence of the relaxation times of the molecules N@C60 and N@C70 (which comprise atomic nitrogen trapped within a carbon cage) in liquid CS2 solution. The results are inconsistent with the fluctuating zero field splitting (ZFS) mechanism, which is commonly invoked to explain electron spin relaxation for S > 1/2 spins in liquid solution, and is the mechanism postulated in the literature for these systems. Instead, we find a clear Arrhenius temperature dependence for N@C60, indicating the spin relaxation is driven primarily by an Orbach process. For the asymmetric N@C70 molecule, which has a permanent non-zero ZFS, we resolve an additional relaxation mechanism caused by the rapid reorientation of its ZFS. We also report the longest coherence time (T2) ever observed for a molecular electron spin, being 0.25 ms at 170K.

description: Exporting northwest Arkansas excess turkey and broiler litter to partially fertilize nutrient-deficient cropland in eastern Arkansas can be more cost effective than to supply all crop nutrients with chemical fertilizer only, given current high fertilizer prices. Cost savings are greater if litter is baled in ultraviolet resistant plastic and transported via truck, since backhaul opportunities reduce truck rates, or alternatively, if raw litter is shipped via a truck-barge combination. Rice is the crop that allows for greater savings according to a mathematical programming model implemented in General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS).

Can Dark Matter Annihilation Dominate the Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background?

description: Annihilating dark matter (DM) has been discussed as a possible source of gamma-rays from the galactic center (GC) and contributing to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB). Assuming universality of the density profile of DM halos, we show that it is quite unlikely that DM annihilation is a main constituent of EGB, without exceeding the observed gamma-ray flux from the GC. This argument becomes stronger when we include enhancement of the density profiles by supermassive black holes or baryon cooling. The presence of substructure may loosen the constraint, but only if a very large cross section as well as the rather flat profile are realized.

description: Using the new normalized thermodynamic scalar curvature, we investigate the microstructures and phase transitions of black holes in massive gravity for horizons of various topologies. We find that the graviton mass enhances the repulsive interactions of small black holes and weakens the attractive interactions of large black holes, with possiblity of new repulsive regions for microstructures in phase space. In addition, the repulsive interactions of small black hole are strong for spherical topology, followed by flat and hyperbolic topology; while, the attractive interactions of large black hole are strong for hyperbolic topology, followed by flat and weakest for spherical topology.

description: Seed black holes formed in the collapse of population III stars have been invoked to explain the presence of supermassive black holes at high redshift. It has been suggested that a seed black hole can grow up to $10^{5\sim 6}\sunm$ through highly super-Eddington accretion for a period of $\sim 10^{6\sim 7}$ yr between redshift $z=20\sim 24$. We studied the feedback of radiation pressure, Compton heating and outflow during the seed black hole growth. It is found that its surrounding medium fueled to the seed hole is greatly heated by Compton heating. For a super-critical accretion onto a $10^3\sunm$ seed hole, a Compton sphere (with a temperature $\sim 10^6$K) forms in a timescale of $1.6\times 10^3$yr so that the hole is only supplied by a rate of $10^{-3}$ Eddington limit from the Compton sphere. Beyond the Compton sphere, the kinetic feedback of the strong outflow heats the medium at large distance, this leads to a dramatical decrease of the outer Bondi accretion onto the black hole and avoid the accumulation of the matter. The highly super-critical accretion will be rapidly halted by the strong feedback. The seed black holes hardly grow up at the very early universe unless the strong feedback can be avoided.

description: Due to the low sensitivity of the thulium optical clock to black-body radiation and good accuracy and stability estimations, it appears to be one of the most promising transportable optical clocks. One of the leading systematic effects for Tm clock transition, namely the second-order Zeeman effect, can be canceled by probing two clock transitions between different hyperfine levels of ground and metastable states during the clock operation. We prepare the atoms in $m_F=0$ state of both ground hyperfine levels simultaneously and excite alternately two clock transitions. Here we demonstrate efficient optical pumping into both target states via single-frequency radiation at 418.8 nm. The resulting population of $m_F=0$ states of ground hyperfine levels is 36% and 3.8% of the initial number of atoms with less than 4% and 0.4% on non-zero magnetic sublevels, correspondingly. We performed numerical simulations of the optical pumping process which is able to explain experimental results reasonably well.
