description: This report investigates the labour and social aspects of sugarcane plantations throughout the world, focusing on plantations in Latin and Central America. These findings are then weighed against the labour policies of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) in preparing wheat paper. Additionally, the labour and social practices of India’s largest sugarcane paper mill, as well as the world’s three largest wheat producers, were analyzed to provide a base index to compare labour rights against. The goal is to produce a recommendation to UBC about investing in TreeZero sugarcane bagasse paper, made from sugarcane harvested in Colombia. For this, publications of major third party observers of the sugarcane industry, as well as the United Nations, were aggregated and analyzed in order to identify the issues that face workers in these nations, as well what policies the local governments have enacted to combat and mitigate these issues. After investigating the issue, it became evident that Colombian workers, as well as workers in the region’s most prolific sugarcane producing nations, are subjected to inhumane treatment, including, but not limited to, slavery, violence, insufficient wages, negative working conditions, human trafficking and child labour. Despite pledges to improve the situation, policies have led to hit and miss results, and their enforcement is marred with a lack of systematic application and corruption; no nation has produced a comprehensive set of laws and enforcement protocols that protect workers from abuse and mistreatment. In the Canadian wheat sector, social sustainability is considered one of the top priorities of the CWB and Canada’s Government. Even with the removal of CWB’s monopsony, the CWB is now working as a voluntary system to partner with the Canadian Government to increase social sustainability for the farmers. Our recommendation is therefore to continue with the wheat paper pilot program at UBC, and to specifically ask for Canadian made wheat paper. If sugarcane is to be used as a sustainable option, further investigation into the social sustainability of TreeFrog’s supply chain needs to be conducted to ensure that all suppliers meet workplace standards, through third party observers such as Ethical Sugar and the AFL-CIO.

description: In this work, the one-loop renormalization of a theory for fields transforming in the $(1,0)\oplus(0,1)$ representation of the Homogeneous Lorentz Group is studied. The model includes an arbitrary gyromagnetic factor and self-interactions of the spin 1 field, which has mass dimension one. The model is shown to be renormalizable for any value of the gyromagnetic factor.

description: We study transport in ferromagnetic-superconductor/normal-metal systems. It is shown that charge and spin currents are pumped from ferromagnetic superconductors into adjacent normal metals by adiabatic changes in the order parameters induced by external electromagnetic fields. Spin and charge pumping identify the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, e.g., singlet pairing or triplet pairing with opposite or equal spin pairing. Consequences for ferromagnetic-resonance experiments are discussed.

description: In the classical structural equation model only the direction of the vector of coefficients of the endogenous variables is determined. The traditional normalisation rule defines the coefficients that are of interest but should not be embodied in on the estimation procedure: we show that the properties of the traditionally defined Ordinary Least Squares and Two Stage Least Squares estimators are distorted by their dependence on the normalisation rule. Properly normalised analogues of these estimators are defined and are shown to have essentially similar properties to those of the Limited Information Maximum Likelihood estimator.

description: A system of trapped ions under the action of off--resonant standing--waves can be used to simulate a variety of quantum spin models. In this work, we describe theoretically quantum phases that can be observed in the simplest realization of this idea: quantum Ising and XY models. Our numerical calculations with the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method show that experiments with ion traps should allow one to access general properties of quantum critical systems. On the other hand, ion trap quantum spin models show a few novel features due to the peculiarities of induced effective spin--spin interactions which lead to interesting effects like long--range quantum correlations and the coexistence of different spin phases.

description: We report on time-resolved photometric observations of the WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, EG Cnc (Huruhata's variable, see also http://www.kusastro.kyoto-u.ac.jp/vsnet/DNe/egcnc.html), during its superoutburst in 1996-1997. EG Cnc, after the main superoutburst accompanied with development of superhumps typical of a WZ Sge-type dwarf nova, exhibited a series of six major rebrightenings. During these rebrightenings and the following long fading tail, EG Cnc persistently showed superhumps having a period equal to the superhump period observed during the main superoutburst. The persistent superhumps had a constant superhump flux with respect to the rebrightening phase. These findings suggest the superhumps observed during the rebrightening stage and the fading tail are a "remnant" of usual superhumps, and are not newly triggered by rebrightenings. By comparison with the 1977 outburst of this object and outbursts of other WZ Sge-type dwarf novae, we propose an activity sequence of WZ Sge-type superoutbursts, in which the current outburst of EG Cnc is placed between a single-rebrightening event and distinct outbursts separated by a dip. The post-superoutburst behavior of WZ Sge-type dwarf novae can be understood in the presence of considerable amount of remnant matter behind the cooling front in the outer accretion disk, even after the main superoutburst. We consider the premature quenching of the hot state due to the weak tidal effect under the extreme mass ratio of the WZ Sge-type binary is responsible for the origin of the remnant mass.

description: When a liquid drop impacts on a heated substrate, it can remain deposited, or violently boil in contact, or lift off with or without ever touching the surface. The latter is known as the Leidenfrost effect. The duration and area of the liquid--substrate contact is highly relevant for the heat transfer, as well as other effects such as corrosion. However, most experimental studies rely on side view imaging to determine contact times, and those are often mixed with the time until the drop lifts off from the substrate. Here, we develop and validate a reliable method of contact time determination using high-speed X-ray and Total Internal Reflection measurements. We exemplarily compare contact and lift-off times on flat silicon and sapphire substrates. We show that drops can rebound even without formation of a complete vapor layer, with a wide range of lift-off times. On sapphire, we find a local minimum of lift-off times much shorter than by capillary rebound in the comparatively low-temperature regime of transition boiling / thermal atomization. We elucidate the underlying mechanism related to spontaneous rupture of the lamella and receding of the contact area.

A theory of evolving natural constants embracing Einstein's theory of general relativity and Dirac's large number hypothesis

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Taking a hint from Dirac's large number hypothesis, we note the existence of cosmic combined conservation laws that work to cosmologically long time. We thus modify or generalize Einstein's theory of general relativity with fixed gravitation constant $G$ to a theory for varying $G$, which can be applied to cosmology without inconsistency, where a tensor arising from the variation of G takes the place of the cosmological constant term. We then develop on this basis a systematic theory of evolving natural constants $m_{e},m_{p},e,\hslash ,k_{B}$ by finding out their cosmic combined counterparts involving factors of appropriate powers of $G$ that remain truly constant to cosmologically long time. As $G$ varies so little in recent centuries, so we take these natural constants to be constant.

Energetic particle and the solar cycle: Impact of solar magnetic field amplitude and geometry on SEPs and GCRs diffusion coefficient

Cosmic Rays

description: SEPs (Solar Energetic Particles) are correlated with the 11-year solar cycle due to their production by flares and interaction with the inner heliosphere, while GCRs (Galactic Cosmic Rays) are anti-correlated with it due to the modulation of the heliospheric magnetic field. The solar magnetic field along the cycle varies in amplitude but also in geometry, causing diffusion of the particles along and across the field lines; the solar wind distribution also evolves, and its turbulence affects particle trajectories. We combine 3D MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) compressible numerical simulations to compute the configuration of the magnetic field and the associated polytropic solar wind up to 1 AU, with analytical prescriptions of the corresponding parallel and perpendicular diffusion coefficients for SEPs and GCRs. First, we analyze separately the impact of the magnetic field amplitude and geometry for a 100 MeV proton. By varying the amplitude, we change the amplitude of the diffusion by the same factor, and the radial gradients by changing the spread of the current sheet. By varying the geometry, we change the latitudinal gradients of diffusion by changing the position of the current sheets. We also vary the energy, and show that the statistical distribution of parallel diffusion is different for SEPs and GCRs. Then, we use realistic solar configurations, showing that diffusion is highly non-axisymmetric due to the configuration of the current sheets, and that the distribution varies a lot with the distance to the Sun, especially at minimum of activity. With this model, we are thus able to study the direct influence of the Sun on Earth spatial environment in terms of energetic particles.

We study fermionic zero modes in the background of this solution and relate them to the replication of fermion families in the Standard Model. In particular, using a compactified space removes the need for the difficult localisation of gauge fields, while the present procedure (rather than naive compactification on a disk) also removes spurious fermionic modes.

description: Sub-Saharan Africa has made a number of important improvements in the 15 years since the turn of the 20th century. GDP growth has accelerated after two and a half decades of stagnation, agricultural output has risen in some countries after a protracted decline, and internal and external macroeconomic equilibrium has been restored in much of the region. In addition, although difficult to define, democratic rule has spread across the region and, even more important, the number of conflicts was halved, although new episodes linked to violent extremism are occurring. The incidence of HIV/AIDS and its destabilising impact have declined slowly since the mid-2000s as a result of more extensive awareness campaigns and the increased supply of antiretrovirals. These and other health interventions, including action on malaria control, have led to a very rapid decline in the under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) and some improvements in overall health conditions. This has led to increased life expectancy at birth to 60 years for the region as a whole. Several other MDG targets were met, although less progress was achieved in reducing child malnutrition and maternal mortality. Furthermore, with the development of highly divisible technologies, the region has begun to catch up with other developing regions in the field of communications, internet banking, marketing and services. Finally, central to the topic of this book, over the last 20 years, inequality declined in more than half of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, several Asian countries (e.g. Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Nepal and Sri Lanka), some economies in transition (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia and Montenegro) and OECD countries (Australia, Canada, France and United States of America) experienced an upturn in inequality.
Influence of the CME orientation on the ICME propagation

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Beyond certain distance the ICME propagation becomes mostly governed by the interaction of the ICME and the ambient solar wind. Configuration of the interplanetary magnetic field and features of the related ambient solar wind in the ecliptic and meridional plane are different. Therefore, one can expect that the inclination of the CME flux rope axis i.e. tilt, influences the propagation of the ICME itself. In order to study the relation between the tilt parameter and the ICME propagation we investigated isolated Earth-impacting CME-ICME evets in the time period from 2006. to 2014. We determined the CME tilt in the “near-Sun” environment from the 3D reconstruction of the CME, obtained by the Graduated Cylindrical Shell model using coronagraphic images provided by the STEREO and SOHO missions. We determined the tilt of the ICME in the “near-Earth” environment using in-situ data. We constrained our study to CME-ICME events that show no evidence of rotation while propagating, i.e. have a similar tilt in the “near-Sun” and “near-Earth” environment. We present preliminary results of our study and discuss their implications for space-weather forecasting using the drag-based(ensemble) [DB(E)M] model of heliospheric propagation

They had 9 children, 3 of whom sadly died as children. Joyce's grandmother was the eldest child.Walter had previously taken part in the Second Boer War and because of this became a reservist. He had been a Private in the 4th Battalion Rifle Brigade, regimental number 7892, where he served in South Africa. Walter Jnr enlisted in November 1914 and was sent to France in 1915. He had lied about his age when he filled in the forms as he was 44 years old but said he was 35 years old.He was a Private Rifleman in the Rifle Brigade 12th Battalion and his regimental number was 5/9560. During the war, his family received 2 postcards. The first (dated 17th June 1916) stated that he was wounded in the stomach. The second postcard (dated 24th June 1916) said "quite wel". Walter died of his wounds in Belgium 29th June 1916. Having been wounded in France, he was sent to a Belgium Medical Unit. But it was September 1919 before his widow received his final pay.There is a notification of death dated 10th July 1916 which gives his unit place as Winchester. His daughter (Joyce's grandmother) travelled to Belgium in 1933 in an organised trip via an overnight ferry to Ostend. He is buried at Vlamertinghe Military Cemetery.

description: The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is a velocity shear driven instability and is considered one of the main candidates for energy and momentum transfer across Earth’s magnetopause. In its linear stage it forms sinusoidal surface waves (KHWs) that travel anti-sunward along the magnetopause. These waves can develop into large-scale rolled-up vortices (KHVs) along the flanks and efficiently mix plasmas from the two sides of the boundary. In this study, we report the first in-situ observations of KHWs and KHVs during southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions from MMS data.

The interesting features of this solution are: 1) In contrast to the Gogberashvili-Singleton case the effective wave function of the zero mode spinor field confined on the brane is finite at a position of brane; 2) There is exactly one zero mode for each matter field and the gravitational field confined on the brane with a finite probability and infinitely many zero modes (labelled by the angular momentum corresponding to extra space) are located in the bulk at different localization radii.

description: Understanding the physical mechanism responsible for the solar wind generation is one of the key objectives of Solar Orbiter. One of the existing theories to explain the observed properties of the slow wind is that the plasma, confined low in the solar atmosphere in closed magnetic field, is dynamically released into the open field thanks to magnetic reconnections between open and closed magnetic field. Although the local magnetic field properties has been frequently studied using static models, the dynamic of the open-closed magnetic boundary remains ill-understood. Our objective is to study the dynamics of specific magnetic geometries, pseudo-streamers, that can generate slow solar wind. We aim to perform 3D magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) numerical simulations of the solar corona and inner heliosphere using a MHD code with adaptive mesh refinement. We aim to model the dynamics of the open-closed coronal magnetic field using a 3D MHD code (ARMS) to study its role in the slow wind generation process.

The techniques have increasing amounts of theoretical hadronic input. If NP is eventually detected in B -> pi pi -- there is no evidence for it at present -- one will be able to distinguish I=2 and I=0, and measure its parameters, using these methods.

description: This is a photo of my Grandpa Edward Simon Jones (known as Ed). He was born in 1876. He and my Grandmother (Alma Bryan) were childhood sweethearts, but because her father considered them to be from different social classes they weren't allowed to marry. To separate them my Grandmother was sent off on a cruise to Spain and my Grandpa then decided to go to America 'to have adventures' - he left Birkenhead, Cheshire (their hometown) in about 1902.

In 1917, Ed was working on a farm in Ames, Iowa, USA when he decided to join the army even though he was considered to be too old at 41 years of age. He joined the Canadian Army (the Winnipeg Rifles) and set sail for England. We don't know where the ship docked but the regiment eventually arrived by train in Birkenhead- Ed had arrived back home! The troops were marched through the town and my Grandmother's sister saw Ed and rushed home to tell her - it was all a remarkable coincidence.

Ed and Alma married on Christmas Eve 1917 shortly before he was shipped over to France. He returned back to England after a few months due to ill health. My grandparents had 3 children but only my father survived infancy - he was born in 1919.

description: The rate at which the solar wind extracts angular momentum from the Sun has been predicted by theoretical models for many decades, and yet we lack a conclusive measurement from in-situ spacecraft. Here I present recent analysis (performed during my PhD under the supervision of Sean P. Matt at the University of Exeter) of the solar wind angular momentum flux from Parker Solar Probe, and I outline my current efforts in performing a multi-spacecraft analysis taking observations from both Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter at different radial distances. In addition, I present some new and ongoing research that I am performing as a postdoc in the WHOLESUN ERC project (supervised by Sacha A. Brun at CEA Paris-Saclay).

description: The paper quantified the yield responses of maize, millet and sorghum in Nigeria using error correction model. The analysis was carried out using a time series data covering 1966-2008. LR-test statistic showed that there was cointegrating vector implying a unique long-run equilibrium relationship with the assumption of linear deterministic trend in the data. The error correction model results indicated that maize, millet, and sorghum yield were not significantly dependent on the prices of maize, millet, and sorghum in the short-run with the exception of millet yield which was dependent on own price. In the long-run, maize yield was statistically dependent on the prices of millet and sorghum. The paper concluded that maize supply was influenced by market signals (prices) and hence small incremental changes in millet and sorghum prices have significant impact on national maize supply level. It is recommended that millet and sorghum price stabilization policy will go a long way in increasing maize production. This will have a consequential effect of increasing the welfare of maize farmers.

description: The HETE-2 mission has been highly productive. It has observed more than 250 GRBs so far. It is currently localizing 25 - 30 GRBs per year, and has localized 43 GRBs to date. Twenty-one of these localizations have led to the detection of X-ray, optical, or radio afterglows, and as of now, 11 of the bursts with afterglows have redshift determinations. HETE-2 has also observed more than 45 bursts from soft gamma-ray repeaters, and more than 700 X-ray bursts. HETE-2 has confirmed the connection between GRBs and Type Ic supernovae, a singular achievement and certainly one of the scientific highlights of the mission so far. It has provided evidence that the isotropic-equivalent energies and luminosities of GRBs may be correlated with redshift; such a correlation would imply that GRBs and their progenitors evolve strongly with redshift. Both of these results have profound implications for the nature of GRB progenitors and for the use of GRBs as a probe of cosmology and the early universe. HETE-2 has placed severe constraints on any X-ray or optical afterglow of a short GRB. It has made it possible to explore the previously unknown behavior optical afterglows at very early times, and has opened up the era of high-resolution spectroscopy of GRB optical afterglows. It is also solving the mystery of "optically dark" GRBs, and revealing the nature of X-ray flashes (XRFs).

${\mathbb Z}_2\times {\mathbb Z}_2$-graded mechanics: the classical theory

description: ${\mathbb Z}_2\times {\mathbb Z}_2$-graded mechanics admits four types of particles: ordinary bosons, two classes of fermions (fermions belonging to different classes commute among each other) and exotic bosons. In this paper we construct the basic ${\mathbb Z}_2\times {\mathbb Z}_2$-graded worldline multiplets (extending the cases of one-dimensional supersymmetry) and compute, based on a general scheme, their invariant classical actions and worldline sigma-models. The four basic multiplets contain two bosons and two fermions. They are $(2,2,0)$, with two propagating bosons and two propagating fermions, $(1,2,1)_{[00]}$ (the ordinary boson is propagating, while the exotic boson is an auxiliary field), $(1,2,1)_{[11]}$ (the converse case, the exotic boson is propagating, while the ordinary boson is an auxiliary field) and, finally, $(0,2,2)$ with two bosonic auxiliary fields. Classical actions invariant under the ${\mathbb Z}_2\times {\mathbb Z}_2$-graded superalgebra are constructed for both single multiplets and interacting multiplets. Furthermore, scale-invariant actions can possess a full ${\mathbb Z}_2\times {\mathbb Z}_2$-graded conformal invariance spanned by $10$ generators and containing an $sl(2)$ subalgebra.

description: The design of new devices and experiments in science and engineering has historically relied on the intuitions of human experts. This credo, however, has changed. In many disciplines, computer-inspired design processes, also known as inverse-design, have augmented the capability of scientists. Here we visit different fields of physics in which computer-inspired designs are applied. We will meet vastly diverse computational approaches based on topological optimization, evolutionary strategies, deep learning, reinforcement learning or automated reasoning. Then we draw our attention specifically on quantum physics. In the quest for designing new quantum experiments, we face two challenges: First, quantum phenomena are unintuitive. Second, the number of possible configurations of quantum experiments explodes combinatorially. To overcome these challenges, physicists began to use algorithms for computer-designed quantum experiments. We focus on the most mature and \textit{practical} approaches that scientists used to find new complex quantum experiments, which experimentalists subsequently have realized in the laboratories. The underlying idea is a highly-efficient topological search, which allows for scientific interpretability. In that way, some of the computer-designs have led to the discovery of new scientific concepts and ideas -- demonstrating how computer algorithm can genuinely contribute to science by providing unexpected inspirations. We discuss several extensions and alternatives based on optimization and machine learning techniques, with the potential of accelerating the discovery of practical computer-inspired experiments or concepts in the future. Finally, we discuss what we can learn from the different approaches in the fields of physics, and raise several fascinating possibilities for future research.

description: Climate Change as a natural phenomenon is found out to be accelerated by human activities. This study examines the interrelations of climate change, land and cattle farming in Saki area of Oyo state. Data were collected from 300 Livestock (Cattle) Farmers within 2012/2013 farming season, through the use of structured interview schedule using simple random sampling technique. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) while, inferential statistics (Binary Logistic Regression Model (BLRM) is used to determine the impact of climate change and adaptation. The result of this analyses revealed that; primary farm operations and access to extension services increased the likelihood of farmer’s adaptation to climate change. Cattle production and ownership were negatively affected by climate change. It was concluded that in the study area, the Cattle Farmers were already aware of climate change in terms of changes in temperature and rainfall pattern. The result of BLRM revealed having access to extension services and information increased the likelihood of cattle farmers to adaptive measure to climate change. It is therefore recommended that government should consider the cattle farmer’s perception on climate change when deciding on programmes for cattle production. It is also suggested that programme that encompass significant factor such as climate change adaptation programme should be planned by Government.

description: Harold Lewis Tatham was born in Leeds in 1884. He joined the Honourable Artillery Company in May 1917. Harold was commissioned in the Welsh Guards in 1918 where he was a 2nd Lieutenant regimental number 10847; he served in France. He applied for his medals in January 1924.

The family brought in a swagger stick from O T C which is at Cuckerhouse School, Surrey. Queens Regiment, West Surrey. There was also a sewing kit where the name tags were sewn by Harold's mother. There is also a Ceremonial Sword which is in the possession of Andrew's brother in Australia.

The family believe Harold was gassed during the war and died as a result of this in the 1930s.
