description: We conduct a study to examine the effects of local development pressure and other factors on the value of urban-fringe land parcels. Multiple regression spatial models were estimated using parcel- level data from Delaware County, Ohio. The empirical results provide evidence that such factors as man-made and natural features are relevant in determining property values. The econometric findings indicate that local development pressure contributes profoundly to an increase in current land prices. These results shed light on the magnitude of the effects of recently developed land and provide insights into policies to preserve farmland and the associated environmental benefits.

description: In an age of increasingly large data sets, investigators in many different disciplines have turned to clustering as a tool for data analysis and exploration. Existing clustering methods, however, typically depend on several nontrivial assumptions about the structure of data. Here we reformulate the clustering problem from an information theoretic perspective which avoids many of these assumptions. In particular, our formulation obviates the need for defining a cluster "prototype", does not require an a priori similarity metric, is invariant to changes in the representation of the data, and naturally captures non-linear relations. We apply this approach to different domains and find that it consistently produces clusters that are more coherent than those extracted by existing algorithms. Finally, our approach provides a way of clustering based on collective notions of similarity rather than the traditional pairwise measures.

description: The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of an eight week motor coordination program using elastic bands on speed, agility, and power for 15 year old soccer juniors. it was hypothesized that involving the elastic resistance bands during motor coordinative and soccer specific tasks would significantly improve speed, agility and power for 15 year old soccer juniors. The quasi experimental design was applied on a sample 30 healthy and physically active male soccer juniors of Mansoura club (mean + SD: 15.38+ 0.67 years, 165.8+7.11 cm, 57.33 + 5.65 kg). They were randomly assigned to two groups. An experimental group (15 juniors) which trained using the motor coordination program using the elastic resistance bands (EXG) and a control group (15 juniors) which trained using the motor coordination program without elastic resistance bands (CG). Result showed a statistically significant improvement in vertical jump, movement speed, agility, and 30 meter sprint in both EXG and CG. There were statistically significant differences between EGX and CG in vertical jump, movement speed, agility, and 30 meter sprint for the EXG which trained using the elastic bands. We could conclude that training with elastic resistance bands during soccer motor coordination and specific drills might be advantageous in increasing soccer performance in 15 year old soccer juniors.

description: This compilation is the fourth data release from the $R$-Process Alliance (RPA) search for $r$-process-enhanced stars, and the second release based on "snapshot" high-resolution ($R \sim 30,000$) spectra collected with the du Pont 2.5m Telescope. In this data release, we propose a new delineation between the $r$-I and $r$-II stellar classes at $\mathrm{[Eu/Fe]} = +0.7$, instead of the empirically chosen $\mathrm{[Eu/Fe]} = +1.0$ level previously in use, based on statistical tests of the complete set of RPA data released to date. We also statistically justify the minimum level of [Eu/Fe] for definition of the $r$-I stars, [Eu/Fe] $> +0.3$. Redefining the separation between $r$-I and $r$-II stars will aid in analysis of the possible progenitors of these two classes of stars and whether these signatures arise from separate astrophysical sources at all. Applying this redefinition to previous RPA data, the number of identified $r$-II and $r$-I stars changes to 51 and 121, respectively, from the initial set of data releases published thus far. In this data release, we identify 21 new $r$-II, 111 new $r$-I (plus three re-identified), and 7 new (plus one re-identified) limited-$r$ stars out of a total of 232 target stars, resulting in a total sample of 72 new $r$-II stars, 232 new $r$-I stars, and 42 new limited-$r$ stars identified by the RPA to date.

description: We study the electromagnetic on-shell form factor of quarks in massless perturbative QCD. We derive the complete pole part in dimensional regularization at three loops, and extend the resummation of the form factor to the next-to-next-to-leading contributions. These results are employed to evaluate the infrared finite absolute ratio of the time-like and space-like form factors up to the fourth order in the strong coupling constant. Besides for the pole structure of higher-loop QCD amplitudes, our new contributions to the form factor are also relevant for the high-energy limit of massive gauge theories like QED. The highest-transcendentality component of our results confirms a result recently obtained in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory.

description: This paper develops a sequential game theoretic model of heterogeneous producers to examine the effect of co-operative involvement on innovation activity in the agricultural input-supplying sector. Analytical results show that the co-operative involvement in R&D can be welfare enhancing and, thus, socially desirable. The presence of the co-op can increase the arrival rate of innovations and productivity growth while reducing the prices of agricultural inputs. The effectiveness of the co-op is determined by the size of R&D costs.
Temporal jitter mimics effects of aging on word identification and word recall in noise
Creators: name: Brown, Sasha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: It is well documented that older adults, even those with normal pure-tone thresholds, tend to have more difficulty perceiving speech and comprehending language in noise compared to younger adults (e.g., CHABA , 1988). There is an increasing body of literature suggesting that as people age, changes to the auditory system occur that decrease ability to process auditory temporal information, which is crucial to the analysis of the speech signal. Recently, the hypothesis has been put forward that the ageing auditory system becomes less able to code periodicity cues or synchrony, due to a disruption to the phase-locking capabilities o f the auditory neurons (Pass, 1998; Pichora- Fuller, Schneider, Pass & Brown, 2000). It has also been proposed that degradation caused by perceptual difficulties cascades into higher-level cognitive-processing problems. From an informationprocessing perspective, like that which guides and informs the studies in this thesis, a compromised signal requires more cognitive resources to help recover the signal, thereby leaving fewer resources for other processes, such as memory, which are necessary to language comprehension. The current experiments further investigated these hypotheses by creating an . asynchrony, like that believed to occur in the aged auditory system, and applying it to the high- and low-context SPIN-R sentences, which were presented concurrently with babble at different signal-tp-noise ratios (S/N). These jittered signals were then presented to young listeners with normal hearing to determine i f the asynchrony resulted in wordidentification and word-recall performance similar to that of older adults who had participated in an earlier study (Pichora-Fuller, Schneider, & Daneman, 1995). It was found that when presented with this jittered speech, the word identification performance of young listeners hearing jittered speech almost perfectly matched the performance of older listeners when sentence context was low; however, the young failed to demonstrate the extent of benefit from high context that had been found for old listeners. Such differences in context effects were not apparent when recall was measured. It is suggested that the externally applied asynchrony resembles the asynchronous neural firings thought to characterize the auditory systems of older adults, and that memory difficulties on auditory tasks may result from an interaction between age-related perceptual and cognitive decrements.

The grid price data are combined with carcass data (2590 South Dakota slaughter steers) to investigate the variability in the average weekly carcass premium is affected by changes in packer-determined grid premiums and discounts on a weekly basis. The three-stage recursive model is then estimated using an autoregressive procedure. The results of the empirical analysis indicated that among all grid premiums and discounts, it is the choice-select discount that plays the dominant role in determining weekly changes in the average weekly carcass premium (discount).

description: We develop a theoretical analysis of four-wave mixing used to generate photon pairs useful for quantum information processing. The analysis applies to a single mode microstructured fibre pumped by an ultra-short coherent pulse in the normal dispersion region. Given the values of the optical propagation constant inside the fibre, we can estimate the created number of photon pairs per pulse, their central wavelength and their respective bandwidth. We use the experimental results from a picosecond source of correlated photon pairs using a micro-structured fibre to validate the model. The fibre is pumped in the normal dispersion regime at 708nm and phase matching is satisfied for widely spaced parametric wavelengths of 586nm and 894nm. We measure the number of photons per pulse using a loss-independent coincidence scheme and compare the results with the theoretical expectation. We show a good agreement between the theoretical expectations and the experimental results for various fibre lengths and pump powers.

description: We calculate finite-$N_\mathrm{c}$ corrections to the next-to-leading order (NLO) Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. We find analytical expressions for the necessary correlators of six Wilson lines in terms of the two-point function using the Gaussian approximation. In a suitable basis, the problem reduces from the diagonalization of a six-by-six matrix to the diagonalization of a three-by-three matrix, which can easily be done analytically. We study numerically the effects of these finite-$N_\mathrm{c}$ corrections on the NLO BK equation. In general, we find that the finite-$N_\mathrm{c}$ corrections are smaller than the expected $1/N_\mathrm{c}^2 \sim 10\%$. The corrections may be large for individual correlators, but have less of an influence on the shape of the amplitude as a function of the dipole size. They have an even smaller effect on the evolution speed as a function of rapidity.

description: The variability of the solar resource is mainly caused by cloud passing, causing rapid power fluctuations on the output of photovoltaic (PV) systems. The fluctuations can negatively impact the electric grid, and smoothing techniques can be used as attempts to correct it. However, the integration of a PV+VRFB to deal with the extreme power ramps at a building scale is underexplored in the literature, as well as its effectiveness in combination with other energy management strategies (EMSs). This work is focused on using a VRFB to control the power output of the PV installation, maintaining the ramp rate within a non-violation limit and within a battery state of charge (SOC) range, appropriate to perform the ramp rate management. Based on the model simulation, energy key-performance indicators (KPI) are studied, and validation in real-time is carried. Three EMSs are simulated: a self-consumption maximization (SCM), and SCM with ramp rate control (SCM+RR), and this last strategy includes a night battery charging based on a day ahead weather forecast (SCM+RR+WF). Results show a battery SOC management control is essential to apply these EMSs on VRFB, and the online weather forecast proves to be efficient in real-time application. SCM+RR+WF is a robust approach to manage PV+VRFB systems in wintertime (studied application), and high PV penetration building areas make it a feasible approach. Over the studied week, the strategy successfully controlled 100% of the violating power ramps, also obtaining a self-consumption ratio (SCR) of 59% and a grid-relief factor (GRF) of 61%.

description: The 1/f noise in individual semiconducting carbon nanotubes (s-CNT) in a field effect transistor configuration has been measured in ultra-high vacuum and following exposure to air. The amplitude of the normalized current spectral noise density is independent of source-drain current, indicating the noise is due to mobility rather than number fluctuations. Hooge's constant for s-CNT is found to be 9.3 plus minus 0.4x10^-3. The magnitude of the 1/f noise is substantially degreased by exposing the devices to air.

description: We analyze the impact of China's accession to the WTO on agricultural markets using the FAPRI modeling framework. Our analysis includes major crops, livestock sectors, and exogenous changes in consumer income, expanded textile production, and policies. Chinese livestock, grain and oilseed crushing industries experience lower revenues, while cotton production prospers with accession, despite increased cotton imports. Most food prices decrease with accession. Chinese consumers benefit from these lower prices, with vegetable oil, dairy and meat consumption increasing significantly. The increase in world agricultural trade with China benefits Argentina (soy meal and oil); Brazil (soy oil and poultry); Canada (pork); the EU (pork); and the United states (pork, poultry, soy oil).

description: Rust, an emerging programming language with explosive growth, provides a robust type system that enables programmers to write memory-safe and data-race free code. To allow access to a machine's hardware and to support low-level performance optimizations, a second language, Unsafe Rust, is embedded in Rust. It contains support for operations that are difficult to statically check, such as C-style pointers for access to arbitrary memory locations and mutable global variables. When a program uses these features, the compiler is unable to statically guarantee the safety properties Rust promotes. In this work, we perform a large-scale empirical study to explore how software developers are using Unsafe Rust in real-world Rust libraries and applications. Our results indicate that software engineers use the keyword unsafe in less than 30% of Rust libraries, but more than half cannot be entirely statically checked by the Rust compiler because of Unsafe Rust hidden somewhere in a library's call chain. We conclude that although the use of the keyword unsafe is limited, the propagation of unsafeness offers a challenge to the claim of Rust as a memory-safe language. Furthermore, we recommend changes to the Rust compiler and to the central Rust repository's interface to help Rust software developers be aware of when their Rust code is unsafe.

description: The Upper Blue Nile Basin (UBNB) is the main flow contributor to the downstream river. Given the competing demands, we characterize the water balance by statistical analysis of past observations and data assimilation models. UBNB runoff shows minimal trend (1% of variance) and a large annual cycle (69%) governed by the equatorial trough and Hadley circulation. The diurnal cycle linked to local heat fluxes contrasts with modulation by the slower Pacific El Niño Southern Oscillation and faster Indian Dipole. Using daily measurements over ~25 years, we found that the inflow to Lake Tana (average 48 m3/s) obtains a linear regression fit of r2 = 76% with the discharge at Khartoum (average 1380 m3/s) at a lag of +6 days, implying that the small catchment conveys the hydro-climate signal to the entire Nile Basin. The inflow-induced turbidity in Lake Tana was studied using changes in colour detected by satellite. Land-use changes in the UBNB were quantified by satellite infra-red temperature and aerosol density. Trends in vegetation temperatures showed a + 0.2°C/year rise in agricultural zones. Ensemble model-projected trends in runoff are upward and may keep pace with the growing demand for Nile water.

description: A synthesis of novel bis(benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines) via the reaction of the appropriate bis(aldehyde) with 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)acetonitrile and malononitrile in ethanol at reflux in the presence of piperidine was reported. On the other hand, attempted synthesis of bis(benzo[4,5]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines) by a three-component reaction of the appropriate bis-aldehyde with malononitrile and (benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetonitrile under similar reaction conditions was unsuccessful. The reactions gave instead the corresponding novel bis(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acrylonitriles.

description: 5-bromosalicylaldehyde (1) was reacted with thiosemicarbazide to afford thiosemicarbazone derivative 2. The latter underwent cyclocondensation upon reaction with α-haloester, α-haloketone as well as hydrazonoyl halides affording 1,3-thiazoles and arylazothiazoles 3-6, respectively. On the other hand, pyrazolyl thiazolyl coumarin derivatives 9a–c and 11a–c was obtained via reaction of hydrazinylthiazole 8 with acetylacetone, trifloroacetylacetone, ethyl acetoacetate and/or arylazoacetylacetone 10a–c, respectively. Furthermore, thiazolotriazine derivative 12 was accomplished via reaction of 8 with ethyl 2-(2-phenylhydrazono)-2-chloroacetate. The structures of the newly prepared compounds were elucidated by spectral data. Eleven of the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity. The results indicated that, compounds 5a, 5b, 9a, 9c, 11b and 12 were strong active toward Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis. Compound 5a was strong active toward Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, compounds 9b, 11b, and 12 were strong active toward Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

description: Fluvial floods drive severe risk to riverine communities. There is strong evidence of increasing flood hazards in many regions around the world. The choice of methods and assumptions used in flood hazard estimates can impact the design of risk management strategies. In this study, we characterize the expected flood hazards conditioned on the uncertain model structures, model parameters, and prior distributions of the parameters. We construct a Bayesian framework for river stage return level estimation using a nonstationary statistical model that relies exclusively on the Indian Ocean Dipole Index. We show that ignoring uncertainties can lead to biased estimation of expected flood hazards. We find that the considered model parametric uncertainty is more influential than model structures and model priors. Our results highlight the importance of incorporating uncertainty in extreme flood stage estimates, and are of practical use for informing water infrastructure designs in a changing climate.

Interacting Vector-Spinor and Nilpotent Supersymmetry

description: We formulate an interacting theory of a vector-spinor field that gauges anticommuting spinor charges \{Q_α^I, Q_β^J \} = 0 in arbitrary space-time dimensions. The field content of the system is (ψ_μ^{αI}, χ^{αI J}, A_μ^I), where ψ_μ^{αI} is a vector-spinor in the adjoint representation of an arbitrary gauge group, and A_μ^I is its gauge field, while χ^{αI J} is an extra spinor with antisymmetric adjoint indices I J. Amazingly, the consistency of the vector-spinor field equation is maintained, despite its non-trivial interactions.

description: We used a memory shortening transformation method to forecast the future prices of the seven selected commodities in the Southeast USA. These forecasted prices were used to find the optimal crop selection in a model farm in a representative county of each of the ten states in the Southeast US under three likely climate change scenarios. It is found that the Hadley climate change scenario may be benign compared to Hot and Very Hot Scenarios.

description: In the Upper Mississippi River basin, after spring fertilizer application, total nitrogen concentration [TN] in streams drops by ~73% from June to September, consistent with effects of seasonal nutrient loading. We hypothesized that this seasonal variability might be affected by land cover (e.g. wetland, cultivated area extent). To test this hypothesis, we adopted a linear mixed-effects modeling approach including periodic functions. However, inclusion of wetland area was not indicated, suggesting that increased model complexity associated with inclusion of contemporary wetland extent was unjustified. While consideration of cultivated extent in relation to mean annual [TN] was shown to improve performance, no evidence was observed that cultivated extent could enhance explanation of intra-annual [TN]. Improved understanding of cause and effect will require improved spatiotemporal data on nitrogen sources and additional critical field experimentation, which in turn is expected to set the stage for advancement in physically- or process-based modeling of nutrient concentrations.

description: The relativistic version of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger experiment with massive particles is proposed. We point out that, in the moving frame, GHZ correlations of spins in original directions transfer to different directions due to the Wigner rotation. Its effect on the degree of violation of Bell-type inequality is also discussed.

description: This paper considers the determinants of two dimensions of flexibility, the flexibility in adjusting aggregate output over time ("tactical flexibility") as well as the ability to switch quickly between products ("operational flexibility"). Econometric analysis of a sample of 40,000 farms in Upper-Austria for the period 1980 to 1990 suggests that larger full-time farms operated by younger, better educated farm operators are more flexible, ceteris paribus. The results further indicate a significant and negative interrelationship between tactical and operational flexibility.

description: In this article, we have established a highly promising approach for the synthesis of biscoumarins via domino Knoevenagel–Michael condensation of 4-hydroxycoumarin and aromatic aldehydes in 2:1 ratio using carbon-SO3H as a solid acid catalyst in H2O: EtOH (1:1). This new protocol produced α,ά-benzylidene bis(4-hydroxycoumarin) derivatives in high to excellent yields. For this, carbon-SO3H solid acid catalyst has been prepared from glycerol and sulfuric acid and characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TGA, and X-ray diffraction methods. This approach has several advantages such as high atom-economy (96.05%), excellent yields (88-100%), no need of further purification techniques, that is, column chromatography, easy workup, less reaction time, cost-effective, avoid the use of hazardous solvents, recyclability of catalyst, etc. Moreover, molecular docking studies have been performed on selected proteins methylenetetrahydrohyrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) to identify the potency of the synthesized compounds (3a–j). Among the synthesized compounds 3i, 3e, and 3b showed the highest docking score against both the proteins.
