description: Diadema palmeri Baker, 1967
Specimens were collected from the Poor Knights Island and from Hen and Chickens Island, New Zealand. Mean test diameters measured 65 mm (h.d.) (SD ± 4.8 mm) by 35 mm (v.d.) (SD ± 2.6 mm) in adult specimens. Maximum test diameters of 78 mm (h.d.) by 44 mm (v.d.) were recorded from 20 specimens examined.
As first reported by Baker (1967), the test was spectacularly red with a striking pattern of iridophores (Fig. 2J). These occurred as brilliant blue or lilac lines radiating down each side of the naked median areas of the interambulacra, as spots on each interambulacral plate on the adradial edge of each column, and as ring around the periproct.
The ambulacra typically measured 20-25% of the interambulacra at the ambitus. Large naked areas occurred on the median areas of the interambulacra (Fig. 2I). Th ese were triangular and cream in colour, with a thin line of iridophores either side. A single, large, red spot accompanied by two to four smaller spots were typically seen in the centre of the naked median areas.
Th e apical system (Fig. 1D) measured 29-32% of the test’s horizontal diameter, was monocyclic, with all ocular plates insert. Th e genital plates (Fig. 1D) had between two and six tubercles on their inner edge, with corresponding spines found on living specimens. Strong arch-shaped depressions were found on the naked genital plates. Th ese formed the corners of the pentamerous apical ring. Th e genital pores were relatively small in relation to other species of the genus.
The periproct measured 16-18% (h.d.) and had a small anal cone that was slightly lighter in colour than the test, with white platelets present in the skin. A black anal ring was present around the opening, unique among species of Diadema.
Th e peristome measured 35-45% (h.d.) and was predominantly red in large adult specimens, paler in juveniles.

description: The German food retail sector and food manufacturers are in a state of transition due to a complex mix of technological and market forces. Competition continues to increase due to sluggish demand and increasing consumer mobility. The high degree of domestic and international concentration increases the intensity of competition. The top 20 food retailers obtain far more than two-thirds of total sales. Because of the increased competition among retailers, the number of retail stores will continue to decline. Food manufacturers fear the buying power of retailers in many ways. Distrust and struggle over the terms of trade characterize the relation between retailers and manufacturers. ECR activities in Germany lag behind relative to the US due to various cultural and procedural differences as well as strategic reasons. However, ECR provides a catalog of measures to achieve more efficiency and customer focus.

description: Spontaneous decay of a single photon is a notoriously inefficient process in nature irrespective of the frequency range. We report that a quantum phase-slip fluctuation in high-impedance superconducting waveguides can split a single incident microwave photon into a large number of lower-energy photons with a near unit probability. The underlying inelastic photon-photon interaction has no analogs in non-linear optics. Instead, the measured decay rates are explained without adjustable parameters in the framework of a new model of a quantum impurity in a Luttinger liquid. Our result connects circuit quantum electrodynamics to critical phenomena in two-dimensional boundary quantum field theories, important in the physics of strongly-correlated systems. The photon lifetime data represents a rare example of verified and useful quantum many-body simulation.

Specimens were collected from Puako Bay, Haunomu Bay, and Kahe Point on the main Hawaiian island of Oahu, as well as from Kahului, in Maui. Specimens were also collected from the islands of Viti Levu and Taveuni in Fiji. Adult specimens had mean test diameters of 70 mm (h.d.) (SD ± 4.4 mm) by 40 mm (v.d.) (SD ± 3.1 mm). Maximum test diameters of 82 mm (h.d.) by 48 mm (v.d.) were recorded from 62 specimens.
Tests were black with a distinct red tinge in young specimens. Th is colouration was lost with age, becoming jet-black, exhibiting a bluish hue in adults. Th e ambulacra measured 22-26% of the interambulacra at the ambitus and were not as prominent as reported by Agassiz (1863).
The numbers of iridophores were noticeably reduced in this species. No apical ring was observed, while the pattern of iridophores down the mid-lines of the interambulacra were not constant. Typically, iridophores were found among the base of the tubercles on the interambulacra above the ambitus. Mortensen (1940) reported that no white spots were present on the naked median areas of the interambulacra. This was true of specimens during the day. However, at night, light red/brown patches were found in these areas.
The test was reported by Mortensen (1940) to be somewhat more flattened than in the other species of the genus. This did not prove to be a consistent or reliable feature.
The interambulacra were as Mortensen (1940) described, with fewer interambulacral plates (12-14) than in specimens of the same size in D. savignyi or D. setosum (15-16 plates).This corresponds to the fewer spines found in this species (D. paucispinum).
The apical system (Fig. 1E) measured 20-28% of the test’s horizontal diameter, was hemicyclic with no iridophores present. The periproct measured 11- 15% (h.d.), was uniformly black with a small anal cone and no markings. The genital plates had from two to six small tubercles on their inner edge, but no arch-shaped depressions. This feature was not even found on juveniles in this study. No other distinct markings on the genital plates were found.
The peristome was black and measured 40-45% (h.d.).

Mathematical attitudes and beliefs : reviewing the parent-child relationship
Creators: name: Stout, Melissa C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The original purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of parents' own math beliefs and attitudes with their children's math beliefs and attitudes. An extensive review of the literature on the affective domain resulted in the decision to use a novel genre of inquiiy and representation. Because a few previous studies, all quantitative, had found a positive but weak relationship between the beliefs and attitudes of parents and children, it was decided to see whether a change in methods and methodology would affect or elucidate past results. This change involved the use of a case study research design, as well as variations of Ginsburg's (1981) 'clinical interview' for data collection to produce Lawrence- Lightfoot's (1983) 'portraiture' for data analysis and reporting. This current investigation showed that using these new approaches supported the results of past positivist studies: that is, parents' own math beliefs and attitudes play some role in the way in which their children feel and react to mathematics. More importantly, the changed approaches to methods and methodology also enhanced the appreciation for the complexity of the parent-child relationship by giving a humanistic touch to past statistical results, and suggested further avenues for exploring the whole area of children's mathematical beliefs and attitudes.

description: We present moderate and high resolution infrared spectroscopy of the peculiar eruptive variable V838 Mon, which underwent a series of remarkable outbursts in early 2002. During the period covered by our observations, 2002 December-2003 December, the near-infrared spectrum continued to show many of the characteristics of a very cool supergiant. However, throughout this period the spectrum also revealed strong and variable SiO first overtone emission, and Paschen Beta emission. The 2003 December spectrum contained a series of Ti I lines with inverse P Cygni profiles. This is clear evidence that some material is falling inward towards the star.

DOES FOOD SAFETY CONFLICT WITH FOOD SECURITY? THE SAFE CONSUMPTION OF FOOD

Food Security and Poverty

description: This paper concludes by saying no, food safety and security reinforce each other. It combines food safety and food security into the concept of "safe food consumption." Unsafe food consumption occurs when food contains known substances that lead to short or long term illness or death (botulism) and suspect substances that are believed to lead to delayed diseases (pesticides). It also occurs when hunger or over eating contribute to long-term illness and shorter life expectancy. The costs of illnesses related to obesity are six to fourteen times as great as the costs attributed to food born illnesses caused by microbial contamination. The implications for health care costs due to Type 2 Diabetes alone make this a health crisis in slow motion. Obesity is not a problem unique to westernized countries. On balance, 8.2 percent of the world's population is obese while 5.8 percent are underweight. The magnitude of these dual food and diet issues clearly poses new challenges for global food policy and food security. Unsafe food eaten by poor people jeopardizes their health as surely as too little food. These concepts operate in tandem. Hunger and being overweight often co-exist in the same household which jeopardizes ones ability to earn income and in turn, purchase healthy food. Safe food consumption is compatible and consistent with food security in all parts of the world.

description: The solar telescope connected to HARPS-N has been observing the Sun since the summer of 2015. Such high-cadence, long-baseline data set is crucial for understanding spurious radial-velocity signals induced by our Sun and by the instrument. On the instrumental side, this data set allowed us to detect sub-\ms\,systematics that needed to be corrected for. The goal of this manuscript is to i) present a new data reduction software for HARPS-N, ii) demonstrate the improvement brought by this new software on the first three years of the HARPS-N solar data set, and iii) release all the obtained solar products, from extracted spectra to precise radial velocities. To correct for the instrumental systematics observed in the data reduced with the current version of the HARPS-N data reduction software (DRS version 3.7), we adapted the newly available ESPRESSO DRS (version 2.2.3) to HARPS-N and developed new optimized recipes for the spectrograph. We then compared the first three years of HARPS-N solar data reduced with the current and new DRS. The most significant improvement brought by the new DRS is a strong decrease in the day-to-day radial-velocity scatter, from 1.27 to 1.07\ms; this is thanks to a more robust method to derive wavelength solutions, but also to the use of calibrations closer in time. The newly derived solar radial-velocities are also better correlated with the chromospheric activity level of the Sun on the long-term, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.93 compared to 0.77 before, which is expected from our understanding of stellar signals. Finally, we also discuss how HARPS-N spectral ghosts contaminate the measurement of the calcium activity index, and present an efficient technique to derive an index free of instrumental systematics. This paper presents a new data reduction software for HARPS-N, and demonstrates its improvements [...]

description: What role has the growing practice of eating out rather than at home played in the evolution of wages in retail food? Between 1983 and 1998, real wages fell for nearly all types of grocery store employees, whether they were relatively well paid, poorly paid, or somewhere in the middle. This resulted in an eight and a half percent decrease in the average real wage, but unlike many other industries, there was no increase in wage inequality. The "food away from home trend" is apparently connected to the deterioration in grocery store wages for all employees except those earning somewhere in the top ten percent of wages. Without this change in consumer behavior, average real grocery store wages would have risen by seven percent rather than falling by 12 percent. While harmful to nearly all grocery store employees, this trend has benefited many workers in the restaurant industry, where the average real wage rose by nearly twenty five percent. Because this growth was not evenly distributed, occurring primarily in the upper part of the wage distribution, wage inequality in this segment of retail food increased. Moreover, the increase in the fast food sector during this period is associated with decreasing real wage levels, or slower wage growth, in both the grocery and restaurant industries. The labor market institutions of minimum wage laws and labor unionization are also found to be important determinants of wage trends in retail food. Part-time employment is associated with lower wage outcomes, but over the last 20 years, the frequency of part-time work in these two industries actually declines. Overall, however, labor market institutions and changing demographic characteristics still leave much of the observed changes in real wages in retail food unexplained. The data source for this analysis is the Current Population Survey, supplemented with secondary data sources.

description: Cluster analysis was used to conduct a segmentation analysis of U.S. supermarket shoppers. This study is based on the responses of a sample of 1,000 shoppers concerning the importance of 21 store characteristics in selecting their primary grocery store for the Food Marketing Institute's 2000 consumer trends survey. Stores must satisfy the attributes important to all consumers in order to be successful. In order of importance, the four top characteristics are a clean/neat store, high quality produce, high quality meats and courteous, friendly employees. The three key supermarket shopper segments identified are time-pressed convenience seekers, sophisticates, and middle Americans. In order to cater to a particular consumer niche, a store must better fulfill the store preferences of that segment. Time-pressed convenience seekers, 36.70 percent of the sample, put a premium on features such as childcare, gas pumps and online shopping. They are likely to be younger, urban with lower or moderate incomes and have the greatest number of children six years old or younger. Quality and services are important to the sophisticates, 28.40 percent of the sample. This group is middle-aged, better educated with higher incomes than average. Middle Americans, 34.90 percent, are attracted by pricing/value factors such as frequent shopper programs, sales and private label brands. They want stores that are active in the community. Demographically they are in the middle with the highest proportion of high school graduates.

description: We discuss recent progress towards the establishment of important structure-property-function relationships in eumelanins - key functional bio-macromolecular systems responsible for photo-protection and immune response in humans, and implicated in the development of melanoma skin cancer. We focus on the link between eumelanin's secondary structure and optical properties such as broad band UV-visible absorption and strong non-radiative relaxation; both key features of the photo-protective function. We emphasise the insights gained through a holistic approach combining optical spectroscopy with first principles quantum chemical calculations, and advance the hypothesis that the robust functionality characteristic of eumelanin is related to extreme chemical and structural disorder at the secondary level. This inherent disorder is a low cost natural resource, and it is interesting to speculate as to whether it may play a role in other functional bio-macromolecular systems.

description: Increased concentration in ownership of retail and wholesale food companies in the United States naturally leads to the question "How does concentration of ownership affect consumers?" Does it lead to higher or lower food prices, better or worse service, more or less choice between stores and among products, and more or less employment and earning opportunities in the food sector? Since the early 1980's the percent of total sales captured by the top four supermarket chains have gone from 18 to 22 percent; food prices decreased, food expenditures relative to income and employment and earnings have all fallen modestly. Choice and service are harder to measure. Competition at the local level appears to be alive and well since numerous types of food retailers offer attractive substitutes for food purchased in a grocery store. The relationship between concentration, prices and profits has been studied and examined for several decades using various economic and business theories and several sources of data. These studies speak to the overall behavior and performance of the industry and provide a perspective on the consolidation and shifts in power that appear to be taking place. The results of many of these studies are summarized in this paper. Findings focus on two major questions: 1) Does the concentration of retail food firms in local markets increase food prices and firms' profits? 2) Has the retail sector become relatively more profitable and, thus, more powerful than the manufacturing sector? The results are mixed, especially with regard to price. Concentration tends to be associated with both increased and decreased prices. Recent work indicates prices tend to increase in dry grocery items, but not in fresh and chilled foods. And, concentration at the wholesale level may lower food prices. Profits of the parent company generally rise with concentration, but the reason is unclear. Most studies conclude it is due to lower costs made possible by economies of scale in procurement or vertical coordination with suppliers and better use of information technology. There was no evidence that retailers' profits are increasing faster than food manufacturers' profits.

description: Service-processes of electronic retailers are founded on electronic technologies that provide flexibility to sense and respond online to the dynamic and complex needs of customers. In this paper, we develop a taxonomy of service-processes in electronic retailing and demonstrate their linkage to customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. The taxonomy is grounded in a conceptual classification scheme that differentiates service-process stages on a continuum of flexibility. Using data on electronic service-processes collected from 255 electronic food retailers, we identified eight configurations for the taxonomy. We also collected and analyzed publicly reported customer satisfaction survey data that were available for 52 electronic food retailers in the study sample. The results of this analysis indicate positive and significant correlation of the ordering of the taxonomy configurations with (i) customer satisfaction with product information, product selection, web site aesthetics, web site navigation, customer support, and ease of return, and (ii) customer loyalty. Taken together, the results of our empirical analyses demonstrate that the taxonomy captures information and variety within and across the electronic service-process configurations in ways that can be related to customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

description: In this work, we combine size and stellar mass measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Server (SDSS) with the group finder algorithm of Rodriguez \& Merchán in order to determine the stellar and halo mass -- size relations of central and satellite galaxies separately. We show that, while central and satellite galaxies display similar stellar mass -- size relations, their halo mass -- size relations differ significantly. As expected, more massive haloes tend to host larger central galaxies. However, the size of satellite galaxies depends only slightly on halo virial mass. We show that these results are compatible with a remarkably simple model in which the size of central and satellite galaxies scales as the cubic root of their host halo mass, with the normalization for satellites being $\sim$ 30 \% smaller than that for central galaxies, which can be attributed to tidal stripping. We further check that our measurements are in excellent agreement with predictions from the IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical simulation. In the second part of this paper, we analyse how the clustering properties of central and satellite galaxies depend on their size. We demonstrate that, independently of the stellar mass threshold adopted, smaller galaxies are more tightly clustered than larger galaxies when either the entire sample or only satellites are considered. The opposite trend is observed on large scales when the size split is performed for the central galaxies alone. Our results place significant constraints for halo-galaxy connection models that link galaxy size with the properties of their hosting haloes.

description: We obtain the solutions and explicitly calculate the energy for a class of two-spin semiclassical string states in the Lunin-Maldacena background. These configurations are β-deformed versions of the folded string solutions in AdS_{5}\times S^{5} background. They correspond to certain single trace operators in the \mathcal{N}=1 superconformal βdeformation of \mathcal{N}=4 Yang-Mills. We calculate the one loop anomalous dimension for the dual single trace operator from the associated twisted spin chain with a general two-cut distribution of Bethe roots. Our results show a striking match between the two calculations. We demonstrate the natural identification of parameters on the two sides of the analysis, and explain the significance of the Virasoro constraint associated with the winding motion of semiclassical strings from the perspective of the spin chain solution.

description: Diadema savignyi Michelin, 1845
Specimens of D. savignyi were collected from the Amirante Is. (Seychelles), Eniwetok Atoll (Marshall Islands), Ryuka Island (Japan), Nouméa (New Caledonia), Suva (Fiji), Rarotonga (Cook Islands) and Apia (Samoa). Adult specimens had mean test diameters of 70 mm (h.d.) (SD ± 4.2 mm) by 40 mm (v.d.) (SD ± 2.1 mm). Maximum test diameters of 88 mm (h.d.) by 44 mm (v.d.) were recorded from 200 specimens examined.
The tests of living specimens were typically black and horizontally circular, while the apical system was conspicuously depressed. The ambulacra typically measured 28-30% of the interambulacra measured at the ambitus with pore zones that were only slightly widened towards the peristome.
White lines radiated out from the genital plates down the mid-lines of the interambulacra. In some specimens such lines terminated in white spot markings on the naked, unbleached test (Fig. 2C). This was not a consistent feature, with no such marking observed on the naked, unbleached test of specimens examined from Japan (Fig. 2D). The naked median areas had small red/brown spot markings during the day, these varied in size between specimens. At night these spot markings increased in size as the chromatophores retracted, revealing the white/cream test.
A bold pattern of iridophores was found on the aboral surface. This took the form of lines rather than spots as found in D. setosum. Lines of iridophores occurred down the mid-lines of the interambulacra. These bisected the naked median continuing to just below the ambitus. Rings of iridophores occurred around the tubercles on the ambulacra. However, this feature was not found on all specimens. A pentamerous ring of iridophores also occurred around the apical system.
The apical system (Fig. 1F) was hemicyclic and measured 22-28% of the test’s horizontal diameter. The periproct measured 13-18% (h.d.) and had a small anal cone, with no ring or platelets present. The genital plates (Fig. 1F) had clear arch-shaped depressions both in adults and juveniles. Tubercles varied in number from one to three and were typically present on the inner edge of the genital plates. These usually consisted of one larger and two smaller spines.
The peristome was black with a burgundy tinge and measured between 42-50% (h.d.).

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are predicted to mediate exotic interactions between spin and mass. We propose an ALP-searching experiment based on the levitated micromechanical oscillator, which is one of the most sensitive sensors for spin-mass forces at a short distance. The proposed experiment tests the spin-mass resonant interaction between the polarized electron spins and a diamagnetically levitated microsphere. By periodically flipping the electron spins, the contamination from nonresonant background forces can be eliminated. The levitated microoscillator can prospectively enhance the sensitivity by nearly $10^3$ times over current experiments for ALPs with mass in the range 4 meV to 0.4 eV.

description: The central hypothesis of this paper is that the largest global growth opportunity for high-value food products is the emerging middle class in many developing countries. Using data for Lima, Peru, 20 percent of households are classified as middle or upper class based on the prevalence of ownership of major durable goods, such as refrigerators and automobiles. Monthly expenditures by the middle class on more expensive foods, such as fresh fruit and red meat, and especially for high value-added products, such as food away from home, are substantially higher, markedly so in some cases. By extrapolating from these results for Lima, a minimum per capita gross national income (GNI) of $6,000 is required for an emerging middle class lifestyle. Based on World Bank data for GNI and income distribution, the size of the middle class is estimated for eleven low and middle income countries with large populations or high rates of economic growth. In China there are some 290 million people in the emerging middle class, in India 91 million and in Brazil 58 million, for example.

description: The extent of information use by farmers for farm management is tracked in terms of computer adoption and usefulness, and the use of professional providers of information services. The study is based on a survey conducted in 1991, on North Carolina, as part of a regional project involving about fourteen states. The results revealed a low rate of computer adoption by the farmers surveyed. However, computer adoption and usefulness were explained by farm size, educational attainment and farm income. Also farmers' use of professional services, such as that provided by tax preparers and extension agents were positively influenced by farm size, age and educational level.

description: Diadema setosum (Leske, 1778)
Specimens of D. setosum were collected from Port Louis (Mauritius), Sulawesi Is. (Indonesia), Nouméa (New Caledonia), Luzon (Philippines), Lizard Is. (Australia) and Suva (Fiji). Adult specimens were found to have mean test diameters of 70 mm (h.d.) (SD ± 3.7 mm) by 40 mm (v.d.) (SD ± 2.9 mm). Maximum test diameters of 84 mm (h.d.) by 48 mm (v.d.) were recorded from 200 specimens examined.
Tests were black with a green tinge occasionally seen on large adult specimens. This was particularly apparent on specimens from Fiji. The typical shape of the test was horizontally circular, with the apical system conspicuously depressed. The ambulacra typically measured 24-30% of the interambulacra measured at the ambitus.
The naked median areas had white spots seen both day and night. These white spots were also visible on the naked test (Fig. 2E) in conjunction with white lines continuing from the spot marking along the mid-lines of the interambulacra to the genital plates. A bold pattern of blue iridophores occurred in this species. These have been described as “spots” by many authors (Sarasin & Sarasin 1887; Agassiz & Clark 1908; Clark 1921; Mortensen 1940). The pattern of iridophores occurred as a series of “spots” down the mid-lines of the interambulacra. These bisected the naked median areas continuing down just below the ambitus. Lines of blue “spots” also occurred as two series down the ambulacra in some specimens. A single blue “spot” was also present on each genital plate, including above the madreporite.
The apical system (Fig. 1G) was hemicyclic and measured 22-28% of the test’s horizontal diameter. The periproct measured 12-20% (h.d.) and had a small black anal cone with a distinct orange anal ring, unique to the species. No platelets were present in the membrane. The genital plates had from three to five tubercles present along their inner edge, with green/blue spot markings when viewed on the denuded test (Fig. 1G). These represented the location of the blue iridophores observed in living specimens.
The peristome was grey in colour and measured 40-50% (h.d.).

description: This article systematically estimates the allocative efficiency losses in the U.S. food and tobacco manufacturing industries under alternative oligopoly pricing regimes using a formal model of oligopoly. Using 1987 data for 44 industries and an industry-wide oligopoly pricing scheme, these losses were estimated at approximately 3% of sales--2% in the food industries and 19% in the tobacco industries. Five additional oligopoly pricing regimes, four of which are price leaderships, are simulated and their results compared and tested relative to the industry-wide pricing regime. Findings underscore the importance of cost structure assumptions and that the impact of the type of oligopoly behavior assumed is not as dramatic when differences in demand and cost specifications are smoothed out.

description: Asphalts, serving as cements or binders in bituminous pavements, behave essentially as purely viscous, mobile, liquids at high temperatures and assume varying degrees of viscoelasticity, plasticity, elasticity, etc., upon cooling. They stiffen to a semi-solid state at cold temperature and do not. exhibit a discrete melting or freezing point, Saal (1)* classifies bitumens into three types according to their rheological properties at normal temperatures. They are: 1) those which behave entirely or almost entirely like Newtonian liquids, 2) those which show elastic effects during initial deformation and which exhibit Newtonian flow thereafter, and 3) those which show almost complete resilience within a comparatively slight range of deformation, beyond which they exhibit various degrees of permanent deformation and cease to exhibit proportionality between stress and rate-of-strain. It has been shown (2) that asphalt behavior at cold temperatures is largely independent of time and is therefore similar to the behavior of an elastic solid.

description: The general method of moments procedure is used for estimating a soybean acreage response function assuming the producers hold rational expectations. Results indicate that soybean, corn, and wheat futures prices, lagged acreage, and government programs are significant factors for determining soybean plantings. Implications of the results are that crop acreage selection by Georgia producers is not very responsive to demand shocks. Thus, producers in other regions are more likely to absorb impacts from these shocks on crop acreage selection.
