description: It has been conjectured that higher-dimensional rotating black holes become unstable at a sufficiently large value of the rotation, and that new black holes with pinched horizons appear at the threshold of the instability. We search numerically, and find, the stationary axisymmetric perturbations of Myers-Perry black holes with a single spin that mark the onset of the instability and the appearance of the new black hole phases. We also find new ultraspinning Gregory-Laflamme instabilities of rotating black strings and branes.

Perception, causation and information
Creators: name: Campbell, Scott
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: In this work I answer the question, what is it for a perceiver P to see a physical object x by having a visual experience E. First of all, I consider whether a causal connection between x and E is necessary, and I conclude that it is. I then consider various causal theories of seeing. The best of these is Michael Tye's 'systematic variation' theory. Tye holds that P sees x if there is a causal connection between x and E such that varying certain of x's properties would produce systematic variations in certain of E's properties. I show that a deeper explanation of seeing can be given in terms of what I call 'significant information'. I propose that P sees x when x causes P to have a visual experience E which provides significant information about x for P. E provides significant information about x for P when a perceiver of P's kind can have a sufficient number of determinate true beliefs about x's properties on the basis of E. I then argue that there is no one kind of perceiver that P is, and this entails that whether E provides significant information about x for P depends upon what kind of perceiver P is being considered as. Thus, whether P sees x is relative to what kind of perceiver P is being considered as. I then show that the 'systematic variation' intuition underlying Tye's theory is wrong. Rejecting this intuition allows me to overcome David Lewis's 'censor' problem, and what I call the 'idle mechanism' problem, which other causal theories cannot do. Rejecting this intuition also raises some problems for my analysis. I show that they can be overcome, and in doing so, I show that E provides significant information about x to P only when it is most likely that there is only a small range of properties that an object could have such that it could cause E in the circumstances P is in, and x has such properties. A problem for all causal theories is that in certain situations they entail that P sees x when the ordinary person would not hold that P sees x. Rather than adding conditions to rule out P seeing x in such situations, as Tye attempts, I argue that we should accept that P sees x in these cases. I go on to show that we should accept that P sees x by seeing television pictures of x and even photos of x. I also consider various other matters related to seeing, and I provide an account of illusion and hallucination and strong and weak seeing. Finally, I reevaluate the importance of seeing to epistemology.

EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF STRESS MANAGEMENT ON SERVICE DELIVERY IN RIVERS STATE'S FAST-FOOD INDUSTRY
Creators: name: Chukwuemeka, John Ebube
Publisher: name: AYDEN JOURNAL
Year: 2024
Subjects: Flextime Work, Service Reliability, Fast-food, Service Tangibility, and Service Empathy

description: In the fast-food industry, one of the most challenging issues that the managers have to face is related to the stress of work. This is one factor that casts its effect on the performance of employees no matter the level they work (Ross, 2005). This study examined the impact of stress management on the quality of services in fast-food companies in Rivers State. The study was a descriptive survey for a target population that comprised of five (5) branches of five (5) fast-food companies in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The simple random sampling design was employed in the organization and in order to ensure that the population was given equal chances of being selected for the study and the sources of data for the study were from both primary and secondary sources. Data was analyzed using frequencies, percentages, mean and correlation coefficient was used to test the hypothesis. The findings of this study revealed that there is a significant relationship between flextime work and service reliability of fast-food companies in Rivers State. Also, there is a significant relationship between flextime work and service tangibility of fast-food companies in Rivers State. Further findings revealed that, there is a significant relationship between flextime work and service empathy of fast-food companies in Rivers State. Based on the findings from the research, it was concluded that Flexibility in work would benefit the organization through reliable, tangible and empathy in service delivery. Also, the workers can become more enthusiastic to balance the need of the work and their personal life. It was recommended that organizations and servicing companies should engage in flexible work arrangement for their staff since offering flexible working to employees can boost staff morale and improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

description: Gisin's theorem assures that for any pure bipartite entangled state, there is violation of Bell-CHSH inequality revealing its contradiction with local realistic model. Whether, similar result holds for three-qubit pure entangled states, remained unresolved. We show analytically that all three-qubit pure entangled states violate a Bell-type inequality, derived on the basis of local realism, by exploiting the Hardy's non-locality argument.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of this class of solutions and show how this leads to a nonstandard, fuzzy extension of the ordinary framework of calculus, and hence, that of the classical dynamics and quantum mechanics. The exceptional role of the golden mean irrational number is also explained.

The interest patterns of a group of Tasmanian adolescents.
Creators: name: Cooper, Daphne Daisy
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this investigation was to make a study of the interests of a group of Tasmanian secondary school pupils in the early stages of their transition from childhood to adulthood. The information was obtained by means of an Interests Questionnaire, the Bell Adjustment Inventory, and the Otis Intelligence Test. The children studied were the boys and girls in the age ranges 12.9 to 13.3 years and 14.9 to 15.3 years attending four Hobart state secondary co-educational schools. A study of the children's interests was made in relation to certain areas of their activities such as their prescribed school studies, and to certain aspects of their development such as their social maturity. Interest patterns for various smaller groups into which the group of children was divided were described and compared. The children indicated their interests by preference ratings. The frequency and the rank order of these ratings were considered, and preference indices calculated. The researches of other investigators indicate that adolescent interests are dependent on, and limited by, certain major factors such as sex, physiological development, age, intelligence, environment, and socio-economic status. The influence of these factors, and of personality adjustment on the interests of the Tasmanian group was considered. It appeared that of all the factors, socio-economic status and personality adjustment had the least noticeable effect on interest patterns.

description: We present a rest-frame ultraviolet analysis of ~120 z~3.1 Lyman Alpha Emitters (LAEs) in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S). Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images taken as part of the Galaxy Evolution From Morphology and SEDS (GEMS) survey, Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), and Hubble Ultradeep Field (HUDF) surveys, we analyze the sizes of LAEs, as well as the spatial distribution of their components, which are defined as distinct clumps of UV-continuum emission. We set an upper limit of ~1 kpc (~0.1") on the rms offset between the centroids of the continuum and Lyman-alpha emission. The star formation rates of LAE components inferred from the rest-frame ultraviolet continuum range from ~0.1 M_{sun}/yr to ~5$ M_{sun}/yr. A subsample of LAEs with coverage in multiple surveys (at different imaging depths) suggests that one needs a signal-to-noise ratio, S/N>~30, in order to make a robust estimate of the half-light radius of an LAE system. The majority of LAEs have observed half-light radii

description: INTRODUCTION:

Objective: of this work was to evaluate the changes on the lipidic and glicemic profile in adolescents with overweigh and obesity compared to eutrofic group.

METHODS:

The criterion for the diagnose was the body mass index  suggested by Cole et al., <2000>. The association between waist circumference. The first part of the study 769 students were evaluated and from wich were selected 133 adolescents, aged 12 to 18 years old, of both sex, distributed in eutrofic , overweight  and obese . In these groups were measured lipoproteins, glucose, body mass index, triceps and subscapular skinfold waist circumference.

RESULTS:

Showed that overweigh and obesity leads to an increase in blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerids and a decrease in HDL cholesterol levels. Glucose level increased only in the femmale group. The waist circumference, a visceral fat indicator, was also associated with an abnormal lipid profile but not with increase in glucose level.

CONCLUSION:

This work emphasyses the needs to inget public health measures to control overweigh and obesity among adolescentes.

Therefore various modes are currently being tested at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) including optics for a negative momentum compaction factor. These optics have been calculated and are under commissioning at KARA. Additionally, studies about expected collective effects in this regime are being performed, including the head-tail and microbunching instabilities. In this contribution we will present the status of operation in the negative momentum compaction regime and discuss expected collective effects that will be studied in this context.

Every real number can be visualized as a living cell -like structure, endowed with a definite evolutionary arrow. We discuss the relevance of this extended calculus in the study of living systems. We also present an intelligent version of the Newton's first law of motion.

China • Hainan Province, Lingshui County, diseased leaves of Oryza sativa, July 2023, J. L. Yin, holotype YZU-H-2023056 A (permanently preserved in a metabolically inactive state), ex-type culture YZU 231199.
Description.
Colonies on PDA sub-circular, velvety to fluffy, white to greyish-green, darker at the center, reverse side pale yellow to light brown, 61–63 mm in diameter (Fig. 2 a). On PCA, conidiophores, erect or curved, unbranched, sometimes slightly expanded at the apex, 32–105 × 3–4 μm in size, with 1–6 septa (Fig. 2 f). Conidiogenous cells integrated, terminal, smooth, cylindrical, apically doliiform, 5–14 × 3–4 μm, with 1 conidiogenous locus. Conidia borne in chain, 1–3 units per chain, unbranched, mostly narrow-obclavate, obclavate, or long ellipsoid, 20–48 × 9–16 μm in dimension, 1–4 transverse septa, apical beak 4–39 × 2.5–4 μm (Fig. 2 b, c, g). On V 8 A, conidiophores unbranched, 20–67 × 3–4 μm, with 1–5 septa. Conidia solitary or in chain with 2–3 units per chain, narrow-obclavate, obclavate, or long ellipsoid, 18–56 × 9–16 μm in size, with 2–6 transverse septa, apical beak 4–39 μm in length, 3–4 μm in width (Fig. 2 d, e, h).
Notes.
Based on phylogenetic analysis using combined dataset of multiple regions, strain YZU 231199 was relatively close to strains of Alternaria tomato (CBS 103.30 and CBS 114.35). Comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences revealed that strain YZU 231199 differed from representative strain of A. tomato (CBS 103.30) at four regions: 3 bp differences in GAPDH with 1 gap; 4 bp differences in RPB 2, 1 bp difference in TEF 1, and 1 bp difference in OPA 10-2. Morphologically, the present fungus (YZU 231199) was also different with A. tomato in having smaller body size, less septa, and shorter beak (Table 2). Therefore, strain YZU 231199 was introduced as a novel species A. oryzicola sp. nov. in this study.

Discrimination learning of nasalized and non-nasalized vowels by five-, six-, and seven-year-old children.
Creators: name: Wyman, Virginia Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Fifteen predominantly English-speaking, and nine predominantly French-speaking kindergarten and grade one children served as subjects in an experiment designed to investigate discrimination learning of distinctive features. Stimuli were presented aurally and consisted of (a)meaningful non-linguistic sounds, (b)four Non-Nasalized Vowels, (c)Nasalized equivalents of the Non-Nasalized Vowels. Subjects were required to press one of four response buttons on each trial. Feedback was provided. Testing continued until all subjects had achieved asymptote across all Tasks. Mean probability of a correct response by session was compared for (a) linguistic versus non-linguistic Tasks, (b)Non-Nasalized versus Nasalized Vowels, and (c)the distinctive features characterizing the vowels. Confusion matrices were obtained for inter-vowel confusions. Results shewed that: (a)linguistic stimuli were not as well learned as non-linguistic stimuli, (b)Nasalized Vowels were learned significantly less well than their Non-Nasalized equivalents, and (c)only the distinctive feature ±nasal appeared to correlate with discrimination learning scores. The other features,±round and ±back , did not appear to operate independently in vowel perception. No evidence was obtained to support the hypothesis that one feature is more easily learned than other features within a discrimination learning task, or that a hierarchy governing the perception of distinctive features exists. The youngest children, however, were observed to perform linguistic tasks significantly less well than the older children. The mains effect for linguistic background of subjects was not significant, although significant interactions between this variable and particular tasks were obtained. Vowels best learned by the children were found to be those that elicited the largest number of verbally mediated responses; these were usually onomatopoeic in nature. Analysis of the discrimination learning results was found to be more amenable to interpretation in terms of traditional parameters of the vocal tract than in terms of distinctive features. No one theoretical framework, however, served consistently to explain the perceptual results obtained.
The roles of government, the private sector, and residents in solid waste management : lessons from a case study in Greater Hobart local government areas, Tasmania
Creators: name: Chayabutra, Chatchawan
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the various means of improving local government solid waste management services. Solid waste management is now a major environmental policy challenge throughout the world and one in which the role of local government is both interesting and important. Factors at many levels conspire to expand and add new responsibilities at this level. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, for example, placed a heavy emphasis on the role of local political structures and in Australia local authorities are being increasingly asked to shoulder a greater responsibility in environmental management. General conditions and issues of local government involvement in environmental management and solid waste management are discussed, followed by particular reference to the State of Tasmania, in Australia. A brief description of municipal solid waste services in the author's own country, Thailand, is also given. A supplementary objective of the thesis is to investigate the degree to which strategies and methods employed in Tasmania have wider applicability, in particular to Thailand. With privatisation of public services now common part of policy in many parts of the world, the issue of privatisation of solid waste managment services is highly germane to this thesis. Factors and principles relevant to the privatisation of public services are therefore discussed. A case study of solid waste management in the Greater Hobart Area, in southern Tasmania, takes a multi-sectoral approach, focussing on the State Government as the highest responsible authority in the region, local government as the immediate regulator and provider of services, the private sector as a (contract) provider in some parts of the region, and local residents as both producers of waste and consumers of solid waste services. Study methods used include structured interviews with State and local government officials (in five local government areas), and two different questionnaires, sent to private companies and five hundred households in the region respectively. Major findings draw attention to the improvements which can be achieved through waste minimisation programs when all tiers of government exercise their responsibilities and cooperate with each other. The public in the Greater Hobart Area have also responded positively. The thesis finds that private contractors can be more cost effective without any apparent loss of service quality, but notes that each situation where the private sector could be involved needs individual appraisal. Lessons from the Tasmanian experience are potentially applicable elsewhere, particularly with regard to a cooperative model for seeking improvement, but are also relevant to policy makers and managers in Tasmania itself.
The anodization of silicon in an r.f. plasma
Creators: name: Scholz, Frank Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The work contained in this thesis is concerned with the elucidation of the growth mechanism responsible for the formation of silicon dioxide by plasma anodization. Three possible theories for the growth mechanism have been considered; namely, (1) the rate-limiting diffusion theory (2) the classical theory of high-field ionic conduction and (3) the impact ionization theory. The verification of the applicability of any of the above three theories required the design and construction of (a) an in situ film thickness measuring system and (b) a plasma anodization system capable of controlling the substrate temperature. The experimental data could not be accounted for by either the rate-limiting diffusion or high-field ionic conduction theories, but good agreement was found with predicted results from an impact ionization theory. The development of a suitable impact ionization theory yielded a value for the electron mobility in SiO₂ which was almost identical to the average value calculated from recent Hall effect measurements.

description: We consider thermal strongly-coupled N=2 SYM theory with fundamental matter at finite isospin chemical potential. Using gauge/gravity duality, i.e. a probe of two flavor D7-branes embedded in the AdS black hole background, we find a critical temperature at which the system undergoes a second order phase transition. The critical exponent of this transition is one half and coincides with the result from mean field theory. In the thermodynamically favored phase, a flavor current acquires a vev and breaks an Abelian symmetry spontaneously. This new phase shows signatures known from superconductivity, such as an infinite dc conductivity and a gap in the frequency-dependent conductivity. The gravity setup allows for an explicit identification of the degrees of freedom in the dual field theory, as well as for a dual string picture of the condensation process.

Subjects: subject: Ecology

description: How ecosystem biodiversity is maintained remains a persistent question in the field of ecology. Here, I present a new coexistence theory, i.e. diversity of biological rhythm. Circadian, circalunar and circannual rhythms, which control short- and long-term activities, are identified as universal phenomena in organisms. Analysis of a theoretical food web with diel, monthly and annual cycles in foraging activity for each organism shows that diverse biological cycles play key roles in maintaining complex communities. Each biological rhythm does not have a strong stabilizing effect independently but enhances community persistence when combined with other rhythms. Biological rhythms also mitigate inherent destabilization tendencies caused by food web complexity. Temporal weak interactions due to hybridity of multiple activity cycles play a key role toward coexistence. Polyrhythmic changes in biological activities in response to the Earth's rotation may be a key factor in maintaining biological communities.

description: We study the low energy phenomena induced by the lightest charged Higgs in the private Higgs (PH) model, in which each quark flavor is associated with a Higgs doublet. We show that the couplings of the charged Higgs scalars to fermions are fixed and the unknown parameters are only the masses and mixing elements of the charged Higgs scalars. As the charged Higgs masses satisfy with $M_b

description: The bolometric luminosities and black hole (BH) masses are estimated by various methods for a sample of young radio galaxies with known ages. We find that the ages are positively correlated with the bolometric luminosities in these young radio galaxies, which is consistent with theoretical prediction based on radiation pressure instability of accretion disk in Czerny et al. The ages of young radio galaxies are also found to be consistent with the theoretical durations of outbursts in BH mass and accretion rate (in Eddington unit) plane, where the outbursts are assumed to be triggered by the radiation pressure instabilities. Our results provide the observational evidence for the radiation pressure instability, which causes limit-cycle behavior, as a physical mechanism that may be responsible for these short-lived young radio galaxies.

description: Four new Huon pine ring-width chronologies complete a seven-chronology network from western Tasmania, and span an elevationial range from 200 to 950 metres above sea level. The new chronologies are from relict stands in the Frenchmans Cap area of western Tasmania, and range from 451 to 1925 years in length. Two are from rare subalpine sites above 800 metres, and two are from 550 and 700 metres, respectively. The sample depth in the earliest portion of the 950 metre-high chronology from Mt. Read, from which a 2792 year reconstruction of warm season temperature was previously derived, is substantially improved through the inclusion of several subfossil logs. The crossdating of ring sequences, and the climatic responses of the three earlier chronologies is confirmed. The chronology network enables a more complete analysis of Huon pine's climatic response throughout much of its latitudinal and elevational range. An improved temperature time-series (a composite of 9 coastal or near-coastal records surrounding Tasmania) is used for the calibration and verification of the climate response. Response function analyses clearly define the seasonal influence of temperature and preciptiation on Huon pine growth. An elevation dependence of the temperature response is revealed, reflecting the stratification of the climate in mountainous western Tasmania. This vertical structure is due to the effects of orographic uplift of westerly and southwesterly airflow, combined with a persistent subsidence-inversion layer above 700 metres. Apparent changes in the mean height of a persistent cloud zone (from 820 - 930 metres) are coincident with recent warming in the region. These changes appear to be associated with a poleward migration of the mean latitude of the Subtropical High Pressure Belt, and slackened zonal circulation. New reconstructions of temperature help define the regional extent of the climate signal from this region. Several unique qualities make Huon pine a valuable resource for palaeoenvironmental research, in particular the tremendous preservation properties of its wood which can survive for many thousands of years. The abundance of subfossil logs at most sites allows for great sample depth through time. Very long ring sequences allow for the preservation of low-frequency signals in the chronology indices, normally not afforded by dendroclimatological reconstructions. Such low-frequency signals are critical for the detection of natural climate variability on timescales of centuries to millennia, and allow for a more accurate assessment of recent trends in regional climate.

A sense of duty : the Clerkes, an Anglo Irish family in colonial Tasmania
Creators: name: Briscoe, Jeffrey R.
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The story of an Anglo-Irish family the Clerkes concentrates mainly around Alexander Clerke (1804-1877) and his wife Frances Gretrude Sweetnam (1805-1881) who freely immigrated from Southern Ireland to Van Diemen's Land in the late 1820's. The Clerkes were from a comfortable professional, well connected (middle class rather than gentry) family from Skibbereen, County Cork. Alexander Clerke trained as a engineer and an elder brother, Thomas became a Judge and lawyer in New York, USA. Another brother, Dr Jonathan migrated with the newly wed Alexander and Frances Clerke in 1828 on the Letitia. Mrs Frances Clerke arrived alone following the ship wreck of the Letitia after gaining significant help from British Government. The Clerke brothers returned to Europe to claim compensation. Mrs Frances Clerke was briefly the matron of the Female Orphan School in Hobart. Dr Jonathan Clerke became the first assistant Colonial Surgeon at Westbury but by the late 1830's had moved to Victoria where he prospered and returned to Ireland. The Clerkes initially gained land grants of 2000 acres. They built up large land holdings and their wealth grew by grazing sheep and cattle, cultivation of the land as well as buying and selling of property, lending out money and leasing out of their many farming properties. In looking after their own interests significant interactions with convict servants and their fellow, often Anglo Irish, settlers occurred. Alexander Clerke in the 1850's became prominent in local and colonial public affairs, in and out of Parliament. He had long served his class very well, being appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1837. Clerke was involved with the great political movement of the time - the issue of the transportation of convicts. Whilst at first a pro transportationist, he changed his mind. His parliamentary career didn't include a ministry but it was eventful and influential variously serving in each house beginning in 1854 and up to 1874. A highlight was the Council extension bill. Another highlight was when he was asked, but declined to form a ministry in 1872. Railway issues were very significant throughout his political career. In contrast to their successful business and public life the Clerkes suffered many family tragedies. They had ten children, nine (4s 5d) surviving to adulthood. Their eldest son William (1832-1896) suffered from religious mania. Their second son John Sweetnam Clerke (1835-1874), a master mariner died tragically. The children, maybe as expected, married into the colonial aristocracy. A daughter Ellen Elizabeth(1839-1875) became the wife of R. J. Archer, dying at the age of 36. The third son Thomas Moriarty Clerke (1837-1891) whilst a youth nearly died in a Longford flood.

description: We consider the role of quantum effects in the transfer of hyrogen-like species in enzyme-catalysed reactions. This study is stimulated by claims that the observed magnitude and temperature dependence of kinetic isotope effects imply that quantum tunneling below the energy barrier associated with the transition state significantly enhances the reaction rate in many enzymes. We use a path integral approach which provides a general framework to understand tunneling in a quantum system which interacts with an environment at non-zero temperature. Here the quantum system is the active site of the enzyme and the environment is the surrounding protein and water. Tunneling well below the barrier only occurs for temperatures less than a temperature $T_0$ which is determined by the curvature of potential energy surface near the top of the barrier. We argue that for most enzymes this temperature is less than room temperature. For physically reasonable parameters quantum transition state theory gives a quantitative description of the temperature dependence and magnitude of kinetic isotope effects for two classes of enzymes which have been claimed to exhibit signatures of quantum tunneling. The only quantum effects are those associated with the transition state, both reflection at the barrier top and tunneling just below the barrier. We establish that the friction due to the environment is weak and only slightly modifies the reaction rate. Furthermore, at room temperature and for typical energy barriers environmental degrees of freedom with frequencies much less than 1000 cm$^{-1}$ do not have a significant effect on quantum corrections to the reaction rate.

description: The new parameterization of the generalized parton distributions t-dependence is proposed. It allows one to reproduce sufficiently well the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron at small and large momentum transfer. The description of the data obtained by the Rosenbluth method and the polarization method are compared. The results obtained by the latter method are shown to be compatible with the correspondent neutron data. The impact parameter dependence of the neutron charge density is examined. The quark contributions to gravitational form factors of the nucleons are obtained.

description: Emission lines formed in decretion disks of Be stars often undergo long-term cyclic variations, especially in the violet-to-red (V/R) ratio of their primary components. From observations of the bright Be-shell star zeta Tau, the possibly broadest and longest data set illustrating the prototype of this behaviour was compiled from our own and archival observations. It comprises optical and infrared spectra, broad-band polarimetry, and interferometric observations. From 3 V/R cycles between 1997 and 2008, a mean cycle length in H alpha of 1400-1430 days was derived. After each minimum in V/R, the shell absorption weakens and splits into two components, leading to 3 emission peaks. This phase makes the strongest contribution to the variability in cycle length. V/R curves of different lines are shifted in phase. Lines formed on average closer to the central star are ahead of the others. The shell absorption lines fall into 2 categories differing in line width, ionization/excitation potential, and variability of the equivalent width. The interferometry has resolved the continuum and the line emission in Br gamma and He I 2.06. The phasing of the Br gamma emission shows that the photocenter of the line-emitting region lies within the plane of the disk but is offset from the continuum source. The plane of the disk is constant throughout the observed V/R cycles. The self-consistent, one-armed, disk-oscillation model is developed in Paper II.

description: We investigate two puzzles in the export duration literature. The first puzzle has to do with the frequent entries and exits of firms in export markets, which are at odds with the large fixed export costs in such markets. We introduce convex production technologies in a trade model to show how variable marginal costs create direct linkages between export markets. As fixed export costs vary across destinations, more productive firms need not necessarily export to more destinations. Cost convexity implies that the probability of supplying a given export market is adversely affected by positive export shocks in other markets. This is supported by our empirical analysis of bilateral flows for over 200 agri-food products to 176 destinations originating from six large exporting countries. The second puzzle has to do with the paradoxical effect of tariffs reported in empirical export duration studies. When endogeneity is addressed, tariffs increase the probability of an export failure.
