description: Economic analyses of farm policies generally focus on the long run, steady state impacts while the transition dynamics are often overlooked. In this paper we develop a determinist dynamic computable general equilibrium analysis allowing agents to form imperfect versus pefect expectations. Using an illustrative CAP reform scenario, we simulate an abrupt versus a gradual implementation of this reform. Our results show that if economic agents are able to perfectly anticipate the impacts of the reform, then delaying its implementation is never optimal. On the other hand, if agents gradually learn from market developments, then we find some cases where a gradual implementation of this reform is welfare improving. Such gradual implementation allows minimizing adjustment costs.

description: Compared to other heating markets the wood pellets market is quite young and small in Germany. Nevertheless it is a very fast growing market. For this reason the Straubing Center of Science analyses the behaviour of the wood pellets industry and of the wood pellets consumer. The following results are from the project "Perspectives of important actors in the market of wood pellets" implemented by the Straubing Center of Science. A comprehensive consumer survey has been carried out within the scope of this project. Therefore people in different parts of Germany have been asked about their heating system. The focus was on users of pellets heating systems. To enable a comparison with the users of other heating systems three other groups have been surveyed: people currently building a house, people who have to modernise their heating system soon and people who have just installed a new heating system which is not a pellets system. The main target of the project was to investigate the motivation of consumers whether to buy or not to buy a pellets heating system. In this article some of the results of this empirical study are presented.

description: Without invoking a perturbative expansion, we define the cosmological curvature perturbation, and consider its behaviour assuming that the universe is smooth over a sufficiently large comoving scale. The equations are simple, resembling closely the first-order equations, and they lead to results which generalise those already proven in linear perturbation theory and (in part) in second-order perturbation theory. In particular, the curvature perturbation is conserved provided that the pressure is a unique function of the energy density.

description: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) may contribute significantly to supporting renewable electricity grids in the future. In addition to flexibly feeding back energy into the grid, V2G inverters could also provide ancillary services to actively stabilize the grid. This poster presents different controller structures for providing ancillary system services with bidirectional AC/DC inverters, such as virtual inertia, frequency, and voltage control. After providing examples of the controllers, we verify them on our prototype and discuss the measurements. The results show that V2G inverters can indeed contribute to grid stabilization.

description: The decision for purchasing a heating system is a long-term one, as many different aspects have an influence on this choice. These different aspects were analyzed in a Germany-wide, written survey. The respondents (only owners of a private house) had to answer questions about their attitude towards e.g. economic, convenience or ecological aspects related to heating systems and the respective combustibles. Using a multinomial logistic regression model the choice of the heating system can mainly be explained by ecological attitudes and the assessment of different combustibles.

Industry-science collaboration in shellfish aquaculture and the management of knowledge processes
Creators: name: Paradis, Erika Samek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the new global, knowledge-based economy, knowledge is recognized as a driving force of social and economic development: it is the key to innovation, as well as to the goal of sustainability. Growing economic, social, political and environmental pressures on both the industry and the science sector have driven many organizations to re-assess their own capacities of producing, mobilizing and absorbing knowledge, and search for effective knowledge management strategies. One strategy that is increasingly utilized is the process of intersectoral collaboration. Collaboration between the two sectors of industry and science has been particularly fostered by government, through R&D policies and funding strategies. It is seen as an efficient strategy to improve knowledge production, diffusion and absorption capacities across both sectors, by creating synergies. However, industry and science operate within different contexts. Collaboration between them often presents significant difficulties. Using the case of shellfish aquaculture in Canada, this exploratory study takes a broad sociological approach in the investigation of industry-science collaboration. It explores mainly the phenomena of occupational cultures and knowledge networks, in order to seek a better understanding of some of the social processes by which shellfish aquaculture knowledge is produced, diffused and validated. The study uses qualitative methods and interviews with shellfish growers and aquaculture scientists in three different regions of Canada, in an attempt to identify some of the structural, cultural and relational factors that may affect collaboration processes between them. Once we have identified and understood the factors that favour or inhibit intersectoral collaboration, we may be in a better position to develop improved tools and mechanisms that will facilitate the process and allow both the industry and the science sector to achieve the full benefits of the knowledge that is being developed.

description: We report the observation of ambipolar transport in field-effect transistors fabricated on single crystals of Copper- and Iron-Phthalocyanine, using gold as a high work-function metal for the fabrication of source and drain electrodes. In these devices, the room-temperature mobility of holes reaches 0.3 cm$^2$/Vs in both materials. The highest mobility for electrons is observed for Iron-Phthalocyanines and is approximately one order of magnitude lower. Our measurements indicate that these values are limited by extrinsic contact effects due to the transistor fabrication and suggest that considerably higher values for the electron and hole mobility can be achieved in these materials.

Statistical properties of DNA sequences revisited: the role of inverse bilateral symmetry in bacterial chromosomes

Year: 2004

description: Herein it is shown that in order to study the statistical properties of DNA sequences in bacterial chromosomes it suffices to consider only one half of the chromosome because they are similar to its corresponding complementary sequence in the other half. This is due to the inverse bilateral symmetry of bacterial chromosomes. Contrary to the classical result that DNA coding regions of bacterial genomes are purely uncorrelated random sequences, here it is shown, via a renormalization group approach, that DNA random fluctuations of single bases are modulated by log-periodic variations. Distance series of triplets display long-range correlations in each half of the intact chromosome and in intronless protein-coding sequences, or both long-range correlations and log-periodic modulations along the whole chromosome. Hence scaling analyses of distance series of DNA sequences have to consider the functional units of bacterial chromosomes.

description: This paper quantifies the cost of traceability and co-existence systems for GM food from the seed to the processing level for sugar, wheat starch and rapeseed oil for human consumption in Germany and Denmark respecting the 0.9 % threshold for labelling of GM food. The cost calculations for traceability and co-existence measures are done with a specifically developed simulation model. Together, the considered co-existence measures lead to an 8 % higher price for GMO-free rapeseed oil, 2 - 5 % higher prices for GM-free sugar and to a 5 - 12 % price increase for different non-GM wheat products.

We study disordered $p$-spin models with large but finite range of interaction. We work in the framework of glassy effective potential theory which in mean-field is a non-convex, two minima function of the overlap. We will associate metastability and phase coexistence with the existence of space inhomogeneous solution of suitable field equations and we will study the simplest of such solutions.

description: Consumer acceptance is a determining factor for the profitability and the development potential of GM food. Therefore, using the example of rapeseed-oil this paper investigates German consumers' acceptance towards GM food using a discrete-choice-experiment and latent class analysis. It was possible to identify three different consumer segments. The first cluster comprises consumers who set special value on organically produced food products, while for the second group of respondents cheap prices are the most decisive purchase criterion. The third segment of consumers prefers GM rapeseed-oil with associated health benefits. Furthermore, the defined consumer groups differ in terms of attitudinal variables.

Active Training of Physics-Informed Neural Networks to Aggregate and Interpolate Parametric Solutions to the Navier-Stokes Equations

description: The goal of this work is to train a neural network which approximates solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations across a region of parameter space, in which the parameters define physical properties such as domain shape and boundary conditions. The contributions of this work are threefold: 1) To demonstrate that neural networks can be efficient aggregators of whole families of parameteric solutions to physical problems, trained using data created with traditional, trusted numerical methods such as finite elements. Advantages include extremely fast evaluation of pressure and velocity at any point in physical and parameter space (asymptotically, ~3 $μs$ / query), and data compression (the network requires 99\% less storage space compared to its own training data). 2) To demonstrate that the neural networks can accurately interpolate between finite element solutions in parameter space, allowing them to be instantly queried for pressure and velocity field solutions to problems for which traditional simulations have never been performed. 3) To introduce an active learning algorithm, so that during training, a finite element solver can automatically be queried to obtain additional training data in locations where the neural network's predictions are in most need of improvement, thus autonomously acquiring and efficiently distributing training data throughout parameter space. In addition to the obvious utility of Item 2, above, we demonstrate an application of the network in rapid parameter sweeping, very precisely predicting the degree of narrowing in a tube which would result in a 50\% increase in end-to-end pressure difference at a given flow rate. This capability could have applications in both medical diagnosis of arterial disease, and in computer-aided design.

description: What is negation? I mean: what is a negation in general? The question needs to be analyzed to apply with pertinence the concept to the image since the negation by the image has not received a stable and shared definition. What does this concept mean? Under what conditions can it be used to process visual semiotics guarding against confusion? This first issue is backed by another: the negation appears to be related to predication, to the point that some believe that the second is condition of the first. Therefore, we must also ask whether the image can predicate.

description: According to the existing EU regulation co-existence between genetically modified, conventional and organically grown plants is the general principle in EU agriculture. The paper analyses the effects of this regulation in a landscape in Southern Germany which is characterized by small-scaled fields. Using GIS simulation experiments it could be shown that a substantial proportion of fields which are cultivated with non-GM varieties will be influenced by cross pollination of Bt maize in two model regions. This effect also results in economic losses or additional costs for farmers operating in these regions. Altogether, there is need for clear and easy-to-handle implementation of co-existence schemes in particular in such small-scale farming regions like Bavaria.

description: We combine the anisotropy of magnetic interactions and the point symmetry of finite solids in the study of dipolar clusters as new basic units for multiferroics metamaterials. The hamiltonian of magnetic dipoles with an easy axis at the vertices of polygons and polyhedra, maps exactly into a hamiltonian with symmetric and antisymmetric exchange couplings. The last one gives rise to a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya contribution responsible for the magnetic modes of the systems and their symmetry groups, which coincide with those of a particle in a crystal field with spin-orbit interaction. We find that the clusters carry spin current and that they manifest the magnetoelectric effect. We expect our results to pave the way for the rational design of magnetoelectric devices at room temperature.

The paper analyses the view points of consumers with respect to the biorefinery concepts and biobased products in six countries of the EU. Based on a written consumer survey it could be shown that the respondents assessed biorefinery concepts rather positively with negative remarks with respect to increasing monocultures in agriculture or rising food prices. A part of the consumers showed a limited willingness-to-pay for biobased products which depend on the product characteristics, attitudes of consumers and other factors.

description: We study the time-averaged upper level occupation probability in a strongly driven two level system, particularly its dependence on the driving amplitude, frequency and the energy level separation. In contrast to the case of weak driving, when the positions of the resonances almost do not depend on the driving amplitude, in the case of the strong diving their positions are strongly amplitude-dependent. We study these resonances in the concrete system -- the strongly driven phase-biased Cooper-pair box, which is considered to be weakly coupled to the tank circuit.

description: Cloth detection and manipulation is a common task in domestic and industrial settings, yet such tasks remain a challenge for robots due to cloth deformability. Furthermore, in many cloth-related tasks like laundry folding and bed making, it is crucial to manipulate specific regions like edges and corners, as opposed to folds. In this work, we focus on the problem of segmenting and grasping these key regions. Our approach trains a network to segment the edges and corners of a cloth from a depth image, distinguishing such regions from wrinkles or folds. We also provide a novel algorithm for estimating the grasp location, direction, and directional uncertainty from the segmentation. We demonstrate our method on a real robot system and show that it outperforms baseline methods on grasping success.

description: We have investigated ab initio the existence of localized states and resonances in abrupt GaAs/Si/GaAs (110)- and (100)-oriented heterostructures incorporating 1 or 2 monolayers (MLs) of Si, as well as in the fully developed Si/GaAs (110) heterojunction. In (100)-oriented structures, we find both valence- and conduction-band related near-band edge states localized at the Si/GaAs interface. In the (110) systems, instead, interface states occur deeper in the valence band; the highest valence-related resonances being about 1 eV below the GaAs valence-band maximum. Using their characteristic bonding properties and atomic character, we are able to follow the evolution of the localized states and resonances from the fully developed Si/GaAs binary junction to the ternary GaAs/Si/GaAs (110) systems incorporating 2 or 1 ML of Si. This approach also allows us to show the link between the interface states of the (110) and (100) systems. Finally, the conditions for the existence of localized states at the Si/GaAs (110) interface are discussed based on a Koster-Slater model developed for the interface-state problem.

Year: 2004

description: We generalize the democratic neutrino mixing Ansatz by incorporating the type-II seesaw mechanism with S(3) flavor symmetry. We find that bilarge neutrino mixing can naturally appear if the flavor democracy contribution is strongly suppressed due to significant cancellation between the conventional seesaw and triplet mass terms. Explicit S(3) symmetry breaking yields successful neutrino phenomenology and various testable correlations between the neutrino mass and mixing parameters. Among the results are a normal neutrino mass ordering, $0.005 \le |U_{e3}| \le 0.057$, $1 - \sin^2 2θ_{23} \ge 0.005$, positive $J_{\rm CP}$ and moderate cancellation in the effective mass of the neutrinoless double beta decay.

description: We find the asymptotic behaviors of Toeplitz determinants with symbols which are a sum of two contributions: one analytical and non-zero function in an annulus around the unit circle, and the other proportional to a Dirac delta function. The formulas are found by using the Wiener-Hopf procedure. The determinants of this type are found in computing the spin-correlation functions in low-lying excited states of some integrable models, where the delta function represents a peak at the momentum of the excitation. As a concrete example of applications of our results, using the derived asymptotic formulas we compute the spin-correlation functions in the lowest energy band of the frustrated quantum XY chain in zero field, and the ground state magnetization.

Decontextualizing motherhood : experiences of mothers with serious mental illness and the response of the professional system
Creators: name: Nathoo, Tasnim
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As more women with mental illness have the opportunity to become parents, there has been growing recognition that mental illness may present unique challenges to parenting. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experiences of mothers with serious mental illness and identify the factors at the family, service, policy, and societal levels that women perceived as influencing their experiences. This study used a grounded theory approach and collected interview data from mothers with serious mental illness (n=9). Findings from the study suggest that women's identity as a mother and the support they receive as a result of their mothering role can positively influence the mental health of mothers with mental illness. The study highlighted the interconnected collection of factors that codetermine the structure of mother's lives, hi particular, it examined how the professional system, including the health care, mental health, and child welfare systems, is involved with and influences the experiences of mothers with mental illness.

description: «What’s in a name? », asked themselves Romeo and Juliet (II, ii: 45), forced by the patronymic logic of discrepancy, more powerful than that of a shared love. Within the heart of Europe after WWII, even The Name Berlin, written by Maurice Blanchot in an article for the “Gulliver”, a magazine owned by Italo Calvino and Elio Vittorini, is a place of disunion and metamorphosis – of amnesia – of those that, speaking the same language, transitioned from one world to another, from one story to another, from East to West. Today such metamorphosis is testified by Köningsberg, the city of Kant, the Moses of Europe according to Hölderlin, renamed Kaliningrad, by Kalinin, the bloody follower of Stalin. How is it possible to repeat and bring back to memory our cosmopolitan toponymy of our Modern world when facing such a complex picture of envisioning and oblivion of our present time?

description: Eigenvector continuation EC has been shown to accurately and efficiently reproduce ground states for targeted sets of Hamiltonian parameters. It uses as variational basis vectors the corresponding ground-state eigensolutions from selected other sets of parameters. Here we extend the EC approach to scattering using the Kohn variational principle. We first test it using a model for S-wave nucleon-nucleon scattering and then demonstrate that it also works to give accurate predictions for non-local potentials, charged-particle scattering, complex optical potentials, and higher partial waves. These proofs-of-principle validate EC as an accurate emulator for applying Bayesian inference to parameter estimation constrained by scattering observables. The efficiency of such emulators is because the accuracy is achieved with a small number of variational basis elements and the central computations are just linear algebra calculations in the space spanned by this basis.

The E_{peak}^{rest} -E_{rad} correlation in GRBs in the BATSE catalog

description: The energy emission involved in a Gamma-Ray Burst evidently can be estimated only provided that we know the distance to the source. The same is true for the peak energy of the event in the source rest frame. Redshifts have been actually measured only for about 40 events. In order to check if it is possible to extend the $E_{peak}^{rest}$ - $E_{rad}$ relation originally found by \citet{Am02} to a larger number of events, we make use of the pseudo-redshift estimate proposed by \citet{Att03} and of the spectra published by \citet{Band93}. We thus obtain a completely independent set of events which indeed follows the same $E_{peak}^{rest}$ - $E_{rad}$ relation and confirms it.

description: Many African countries have moved into the production of non-traditional agricultural products to diversify their exports and increase foreign currency earnings. Accessing developed country markets requires meeting food safety standards brought about by several demand and supply side factors. Food retailers in the EU, the major destination market, have developed protocols relating to pesticide residue limits, field and packinghouse hygiene, and traceability. In this changing scenario where food safety requirements are getting increasingly stringent, there are worries that companies that establish production centers in LDCs might exclude smallholder farmers. In this paper, we study the cases of green beans production in Ethiopia, Kenya and Zambia for export to high value European markets. Though the immediate effect of the imposition of stringent food safety standards has been to screen away smallholders, there has been continued participation of smallholders in some cases. This paper finds that emergence of new institutional arrangements have enabled the smallholders to maintain their participation in high value European markets. In particular, public-private partnerships have played a key role in helping smallholder farmers acquire training on and certification against European food safety standards. Collective action in form of producer organizations has enabled smallholders to jointly invest in costly facilities and take advantage of economies of scale to remain competitive. Producer organizations also allow for cheaper means for buyers to ensure traceability and are critical in reducing transaction costs of linking up with smallholders.
