description: M any Americans received food assistance from the Federal Government in fiscal 1990, including food stamps, vouchers, food packages, or cash. The Food Stamp Program is the largest of the Federal food assistance programs in terms of both the number of people served and the amount of money spent. Monthly participation rates in the Food Stamp Program were almost 20 million, up over 1 million from fiscal 1989. Through U.S. food assistance programs, over 28 million school children received free or reduced-cost school breakfasts and lunches, and almost 962 million meals were served in the Child Care Food Program. To provide this food, the U.S. Government spent over $24.2 billion in fiscal 1990 (table 1). This represents a 70-percent increase over the $14.2 billion spent in 1980 and over a 10-percent rise since 1989. Overall growth of food assistance programs during the past decade was sporadic, but with a continual upward trend. Three factors account for most of the increase in program expenditures since 1980. First, inflation caused the cost-of-living adjustments to rise each year. Second, increased unemployment associated with recessions in 1982-83 and 1990 created additional demand for food assistance, particularly food stamps. Third, the large accumulation of Government surplus commodities, particularly dairy products, fostered a major increase in food donations, particularly The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). USDA food assistance programs are designed to improve the nutritional wellbeing of low-income persons and other target groups, such as children and the elderly. Food assistance programs, which are administered by USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, were initiated during the Great Depression of the 1930's. The programs were to help feed the poor and unemployed and to stabilize farm prices by distributing growing stocks of surplus agricultural commodities. Since then, assistance programs have expanded and new programs have been implemented. The National School Lunch Program and the Food Stamp Program are notable examples.

description: Learning a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is hard when the number of parameters is too large given the amount of available data. As a remedy, we propose restricting the GMM to a Gaussian Markov Random Field Mixture Model (GMRF-MM), as well as a new method for estimating the latter's sparse precision (i.e., inverse covariance) matrices. When the sparsity pattern of each matrix is known, we propose an efficient optimization method for the Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE) of that matrix. When it is unknown, we utilize the popular Graphical Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (GLASSO) to estimate that pattern. However, we show that even for a single Gaussian, when GLASSO is tuned to successfully estimate the sparsity pattern, it does so at the price of a substantial bias of the values of the nonzero entries of the matrix, and we show that this problem only worsens in a mixture setting. To overcome this, we discard the nonzero values estimated by GLASSO, keep only its pattern estimate and use it within the proposed MLE method. This yields an effective two-step procedure that removes the bias. We show that our "debiasing" approach outperforms GLASSO in both the single-GMRF and the GMRF-MM cases. We also show that when learning priors for image patches, our method outperforms GLASSO even if we merely use an educated guess about the sparsity pattern, and that our GMRF-MM outperforms the baseline GMM on real and synthetic high-dimensional datasets.

title: The life and work of Major Percy Alexander MacMahon
Creators: name: Garcia, Paul
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: This thesis describes the life and work of the mathematician Major Percy Alexander MacMahon (1854 - 1929). His early life as a soldier in the Royal Artillery and events which led to him embarking on a career in mathematical research and teaching are dealt with in the first two chapters. Succeeding chapters explain the work in invariant theory and partition theory which brought him to the attention of the British mathematical community and eventually resulted in a Fellowship of the Royal Society, the presidency of the London Mathematical Society, and the award of three prestigious mathematical medals and four honorary doctorates. The development and importance of his recreational mathematical work is traced and discussed. MacMahon's career in the Civil Service as Deputy Warden of the Standards at the Board of Trade is also described. Throughout the thesis, his involvement with the British Association for the Advancement of Science and other scientific organisations is highlighted. The thesis also examines possible reasons why MacMahon's work, held in very high regard at the time, did not lead to the lasting fame accorded to some of his contemporaries. Details of his personal and social life are included to give a picture of MacMahon as a real person working hard to succeed in a difficult context.

description: The high frequency collective dynamics of molten potassium has been investigated by inelastic x-ray scattering, disclosing an energy/momentum transfer region unreachable by previous neutron scattering experiments (INS). We find that a two-step relaxation scenario, similar to that found in other liquid metals, applies to liquid potassium. In particular, we show how the sound velocity determined by INS experiments, exceeding the hydrodynamic value by $\approx 30 %$, is the higher limit of a speed up, located in the momentum region $1

This can be realized through dissociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of molecular dimers consisting of fermionic atoms. We present a theoretical model describing the quantum dynamics of dissociation and find analytic solutions for mode occupancies and atomic pair correlations, valid in the short time limit. The solutions are used to identify upper bounds for the correlation functions, which are applicable to any fermionic system and correspond to ideal particle number-difference squeezing

description: Interest in collective robotic systems has increased rapidly due to the potential benefits that can be offered to operators, such as increased safety and support, who perform challenging tasks in high-risk environments. Human-collective transparency research has focused on how the design of the algorithms, visualizations, and control mechanisms influence human-collective behavior. Traditional collective visualizations have shown all of the individual entities composing a collective, which may become problematic as collectives scale in size and heterogeneity, and tasks become more demanding. Human operators can become overloaded with information, which will negatively affect their understanding of the collective's current state and overall behaviors, which can cause poor teaming performance. An analysis of visualization transparency and the derived visualization design guidance, based on remote supervision of collectives, are the primary contributions of this manuscript. The individual agent and abstract visualizations were analyzed for sequential best-of-n decision-making tasks involving four collectives, composed of 200 entities each. The abstract visualization provided better transparency by enabling operators with different individual differences and capabilities to perform relatively the same and promoted higher human-collective performance.

description: In the general relativistic description of gravitation, geometry replaces the concept of force. This is possible because of the universal character of free fall, and would break down in its absence. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity is a gauge theory for the translation group and, as such, describes the gravitational interaction by a force similar to the Lorentz force of electromagnetism, a non-universal interaction. Relying on this analogy it is shown that, although the geometric description of general relativity necessarily requires the existence of the equivalence principle, the teleparallel gauge approach remains a consistent theory for gravitation in its absence.

description: The Sugarcane Feeds Centre in Trinidad has shown that, particularly where animal effluent is recycled, whole sugarcane can be used in intensive ruminant production. It is fed, either freshly chopped, or ensiled, at varying levels to animals of different ages and physiological states. It can overcome the seasonal fodder shortage experienced throughout the region. Leucaena is a good protein source to use with sugarcane. Five years ago, the supplements used to nutritionally balance sugarcane diets were imported. These have been almost entirely replaced by local crop residues and by-products, reducing feed costs and increasing local economic linkages without affecting animal performance. New processing plants provide wastes from passion fruit, sorrel, cassava and breadfruit, for use as animal feeds. This benefit from crop diversification is often over-looked. As local production and processing for human consumption increases, so also will the availability of by-products for animal production. (Editor's summary).

The convection-diffusion equation for a finite domain with time varying boundaries

description: A solution is developed for a convection-diffusion equation describing chemical transport with sorption, decay, and production. The problem is formulated in a finite domain where the appropriate conservation law yields Robin conditions at the ends. When the input concentration is arbitrary, the problem is underdetermined because of an unknown exit concentration. We resolve this by defining the exit concentration as a solution to a similar diffusion equation which satisfies a Dirichlet condition at the left end of the half line. This problem does not appear to have been solved in the literature, and the resulting representation should be useful for problems of practical interest. Authors of previous works on problems of this type have eliminated the unknown exit concentration by assuming a continuous concentration at the outflow boundary. This yields a well-posed problem by forcing a homogeneous Neumann exit, widely known as the Danckwerts [1] condition. We provide a solution to the Neumann problem and use it to produce an estimate which demonstrates that the Danckwerts condition implies a zero concentration at the outflow boundary, even for a long flow domain and a large time.

description: Primordial black holes that survive until the present have been considered as a dark matter candidate. In this paper we argue that primordial 2-2-hole remnants provide a more promising and testable option. 2-2-holes arise in quadratic gravity as a new family of classical solutions for ultracompact matter distributions and they possess the black hole exterior without an event horizon. They may serve as the endpoint of gravitational collapse, providing a resolution for the information loss problem. Intriguing thermodynamic behavior is found for these objects when sourced by a thermal gas. A large 2-2-hole radiates with a Hawking-like temperature and exhibits an entropy-area law. At a late stage, the evaporation slows down and essentially stops as the mass asymptotically approaches a minimal value. This remnant mass is determined by a fundamental scale in quadratic gravity. We study the cosmological and astrophysical implications of having these remnants as dark matter and derive the corresponding constraints. A distinctive phenomenon associated with remnant mergers occurs, predicting fluxes of high-energy astrophysical particles due to the spectacular evaporation of the merger product. Measurements of high-energy photon and neutrino fluxes could possibly bound the remnant mass to be not far above the Planck mass. Early-universe physics, on the other hand, requires that 2-2-holes quickly evolve into the remnant state after formation, putting an upper bound on the formation mass.

description: Acacia tortuosa and A. macracantha are the most noxious woody plants in U.S. Virgin Islands pastures, infesting 90% of the fields and decreasing utilizable pasture area by up to 26%. These Acacia species are well adapted to the semi-arid climate and the calcareous soils of the Virgin Islands. Cattle grazing also creates conditions suitable for Acacia development by enhancing seed dispersal and reducing the competitive ability of preferred forages. Populations of the Acacia species can be suppressed by the natural environment, by pasture and grazing management, and by rogueing. Mechanical and chemical methods have been evaluated in St Croix. Preliminary studies suggest that extensive Acacia rogueing using hand tools is not practical or economical. Rogueing by bulldozer is not economical and ad-versely affects the physical condition and botanical composition of pastures. Basal herbicide applications are more effective and more economical than foliar applications. When basally applied, hexazinon and tebuthiuron are equally effective and more economical than picloram at labeled rates.

description: A wireless communication system using multiple antennas promises reliable transmission under Rayleigh flat fading assumptions. Design criteria and practical schemes have been presented for both coherent and non-coherent communication channels. In this paper we generalize one dimensional phase shift keying (PSK) signals and introduce space time constellations from generalized phase shift keying (GPSK) signals based on the complex and real orthogonal designs. The resulting space time constellations reallocate the energy for each transmitting antenna and feature good diversity products, consequently their performances are better than some of the existing comparable codes. Moreover since the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding of our proposed codes can be decomposed to one dimensional PSK signal demodulation, the ML decoding of our codes can be implemented in a very efficient way.

Their main properties are presented, the associated Wigner function is calculated and its properties are discussed. It is shown that the angle probability density obtained from the Wigner function is a well-behaved function defined in the interval [-Pi,Pi), while the action probability only assumes integer values greater or equal than zero. It is emphasized the fact that the width of the angle probability density is governed by the free parameter q characterizing the polynomial.

description: The advisability of promoting forage seed production as a crop for small farmers was examined in the Caribbean context. If used in rotation with crops, a minimum 3-year pasture break is capable of reducing disease and weed problems, improving soil structure and chemical fertility, and the foliage left after seed harvesting provides a valuable source of either animal feed or mulch for sale or use in other farm enterprises. The sale of seed would provide a useful cash income. Problems include the loss of flexibility imposed by a perennial crop, the weed potential of pasture species, competition for available labour and the present lack of an established local market for the seed. Government policies to stimulate the use of pastures would increase the demand for seed, while a potential export market already exists in South America. It is concluded that if central cleaning and quality control facilities are established by a regional organization such as CARDI, pasture seed production could be an attractive alternative for careful farmers.

description: An X-ray study of a deeply embedded Wolf-Rayet star WR 121a has been carried out using long-term (spanning over ~12 years) archival observations from Chandra and XMM-Newton. For the first time, a periodic variation with a period of 4.1 days has been detected in the X-ray light curve of WR 121a. No companion is seen in a merged and exposure corrected Chandra X-ray image of WR 121a as shown in the other previous observations in J-band. The X-ray spectrum of WR 121a has been well-explained by a thermal plasma emission model with temperatures of 0.98+/-0.34 keV and 3.55+/-0.69 keV for the cool and hot components, respectively and non-solar abundances. The present study indicates that WR121a is one of the X-ray bright massive binaries with an X-ray luminosity of ~10^34 erg/s, which can be explained by an active wind collision between its components. The phase-locked modulations have been seen in the flux variation of WR 121a where the flux is increased by a factor of ~1.6 from minimum to maximum in 0.3-10.0 keV energy band. These variations could be caused by an eclipse of the wind collision region by the secondary star in a binary orbit. The winds of both components of WR 121a appear to be radiative. Radiative inhibition as well as radiative braking are the most likely processes those are affecting the wind collision severely in this short period massive binary system.

description: Animal production in the Caribbean , inclusive of sheep, goats and dairy cattle, has for too long depended on concentrate feeds. Most of the region's farmers consider forages solely as a source of roughage for their livestock, whereas Australian and New Zealand farmers have long relied on forages to provide most of the nutrients for meat and milk production. This concept is not new to the region, however. Jamaican farmers have relied for many years on their grass pastures for economical meat and milk production. The challenge we face now is to encourage farmers to make greater and better use of the available improved grasses and legumes. In this way, animal productivity can be improved (Proverbs, 1985). Native grasses, overgrazing, poor weed control and lack of proper management, characterise most local pastures, resulting in reduced milk and meat output per animal and per hectare. In any animal production enterprise, the need to establish high quality improved pastures cannot be over-emphasised.
title: The ecology and evolution of malaria: Laboratory studies of Plasmodium chabaudi and its rodent and insect hosts
Creators: name: Grech, Katrina

description: In this thesis I investigated selective pressures that could shape the ecology and evolution of the malaria parasite and its mosquito host. I used the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi, laboratory mice and the lab adapted malaria vector Anopheles stephensi.

Key theory underpinning much of this work is the virulence trade-off hypothesis, where virulence (harm to host) is thought to be an unavoidable consequence of the parasites effort to optimise fitness. Implicit in this theory is that virulence is an intrinsic parasite trait, so that a virulent parasite would be relatively virulent in all host types. Using four genetically distinct P. chabaudi clones and four distinct host strains I found for the most part, this assumption to be true; the virulence phenotype of each of the four parasites was the same across the four host strains tested. I further used these genetically distinct P. chabaudi clones along with candidate malaria vaccine AMA-1 to study 1) vaccine efficacy against single and mixed clone infections and 2) the potential selective effects of vaccination. I found that vaccination reduced parasite density in a strain specific manner and that diversity at loci other than the target antigen influenced vaccine efficacy. In both naive and vaccinated hosts, selection for increased virulence was observed in mixed genotype infections, but in no case did vaccination enhance this selective pressure. As Plasmodium evolution is intricately linked to vector population dynamics, I explored environmental conditions that may influence Anopheles fitness. Specifically, I investigated whether the amount of food Anopheles parents experienced influenced the success of their offspring. I found that the food level of both parents and offspring were important in Anopheles fitness. In particular, daughters from parents reared in low food conditions produced more eggs that daughters from parents reared in high food conditions.

In sum, my results indicate that the within-host environment of the malaria parasite can act as a selective agent. In addition, the environmental conditions experienced by Anopheles larvae could impact vector population dynamics. Altering the within-host environment of the parasite or the environment of its vector could dramatically alter the ecology and evolution of the malaria parasite.

description: Since 1983, CARDI has been evaluating a "Livestock Management System" for small farms in Dominica, aimed at alleviating some of the major constraints associated with livestock. production. This work is supported by on-station and on-farm trials with improved forages. An evaluation of ten grass and grass/legume mixtures for "cut and carry" systems, showed that dry matter yields of 20.4t/ha and 18.1t/ha came from grass mixes of Pennisetum purpureum plus Brachiaria decumbens and grass-legume mixes of P. purpureum, Cyndodon plectostachysus, Centrosema pubescens and Stylosanthes hamata respectively. The cutting interval was ten weeks. In a study of a 11 year round production of P. purpureum, dry matter yields of about 25t/ha were obtained at two locations. In a trial evaluating four forage legumes, S. hamata and Desmodium intortum were the most persistent.

description: Native pastures are the most important source of feed for the livestock industry in St. Croix, U.S.V.I. One of the major constituents of these pastures is guinea qrass (Panicum maximum), found in well managed, properly stocked situations. To determine the dry matter production of this species, plots were established in existing swards located in different rainfall zones. The plots were cut periodically for a full year. Yields at each site varied according to rainfall: from 7,543 kg/ha in the driest location to 14,445 kg/ha in the wettest area. Before the plots were cut, the height of the grass was measured. Regression analysis was performed, and a strong relationship between height and dry matter yield was demonstrated. This failed to adequately predict hay yields due to uneven cutting heights and inefficient raking with large equipment. Care must be taken when using regression techniques to predict dry matter production.

description: Conjectures for analytical expressions for correlations in the dense O$(1)$ loop model on semi infinite square lattices are given. We have obtained these results for four types of boundary conditions. Periodic and reflecting boundary conditions have been considered before. We give many new conjectures for these two cases and review some of the existing results. We also consider boundaries on which loops can end. We call such boundaries ''open''. We have obtained expressions for correlations when both boundaries are open, and one is open and the other one is reflecting. Also, we formulate a conjecture relating the ground state of the model with open boundaries to Fully Packed Loop models on a finite square grid. We also review earlier obtained results about this relation for the three other types of boundary conditions. Finally, we construct a mapping between the ground state of the dense O$(1)$ loop model and the XXZ spin chain for the different types of boundary conditions.

description: We present a Bell-type polarization experiment using two independent sources of polarized optical photons, and detecting the temporal coincidence of pairs of uncorrelated photons which have never been entangled in the apparatus. Very simply, our measurements have tested the quantum-mechanical equivalent of the classical Malus' law on an incoherent beam of polarized photons obtained from two separate and independent laser sources greatly reduced in intensities.The outcome of the experiment gives evidence of violation of the Bell-like inequalities. Drawing the conclusions of the present work, we invoke the distinction between the concepts of state-preparation and measurement to understand this result.

description: Heat and charge conduction were measured in the heavy-fermion metal CeRhIn5, an antiferromagnet with T_N=3.8 K. The thermal resistivity is found to be proportional to the magnetic entropy, revealing that spin fluctuations are as effective in scattering electrons as they are in disordering local moments. The electrical resistivity, governed by a q^2 weighting of fluctuations, increases monotonically with temperature. In contrast, the difference between thermal and electrical resistivities, characterized by an omega^2 weighting, peaks sharply at T_N and eventually goes to zero at a temperature T^* ~ 8 K. T^* thus emerges as a measure of the characteristic energy of magnetic fluctuations.

description: Survival of 67 climatically adapted tropical legume accessions, representing a range of species and growth forms, was evaluated in bahiagrass pastures at Ona, Florida. Only Vigna parkeri cv. Shaw persisted for more than four years under continuous grazing at a moderate stocking rate. Three species, Desmodium barbatum, Desmodium heterocarpon cv. Florida, and Alysicarpus vaginalis, survived three years of grazing. These four persistent species survived as prostrate, perennial plants similar in growth form to the grazed grass canopy. Several up-right and clinging accessions survived under limited grazing, and some re-established themselves after continuous grazing was terminated. Growth form appears to be the major determinant of grazing tolerance of climatically and edaphically adapted legumes in peninsular Florida. Identification of compatible growth forms of grasses and legumes and determination of specific management techniques to enhance compatibility of less-suitable plant combinations could improve the generally poor results from introducing tropical legumes into grass pastures.

description: Pasture and livestock development activities carried out under the CARDI FSR/D programme were reviewed. Studies in Barbados have shown that 25, 40 and 100% of the imported maize in broiler starter, finisher and pig starter rations respectively can be replaced by locally produced cassava. Peanut and sweet potato residues were identified as potential livestock feeds in south-eastern St. Vincent. Pasture and forage bank establishment have taken place in Dominica, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent. In integrated production systems studies in Dominica, the cut and carry system has reduced the labour requirement of animal production. With some country - specific modifications, it could be extended to other, wetter parts of the region. Improved livestock management systems in Dominica have increased both animal production and vegetable yields, while producing cooking gas through the efficient use of animal manure. Improved rams have been introduced into St. Lucia and St. Vincent, while deworming of sheep at 6 to 8 week intervals has kept internal parasites at manageable levels. Suggestions are made as to the direction of future work.
