description: We chose to explore the environmental impact of plant-based diets. Specifically, we wanted to know whether we could influence people’s dietary decisions with a simple nudge. Knowing that plant-based meals are more environmentally sustainable than meat6, we explored the relative differences in carbon footprint. We partnered with Grub Grab, a meal subscription service that offers both plant-based and meat-based options on campus. We calculated the respective carbon footprints of each meal they offer and implemented this data on their website. The website previously included metrics on each meal for fats, protein, carbs and calories. Our nudge was the addition of carbon footprint information, which demonstrated some environmental disparity between the plant-based and meat-based options. Our study compared the meal preferences of participants with and without the carbon footprint information. We wanted to know how implementing a nudge campaign using carbon footprint information would affects people’s meal choices. We hypothesized that there will be increased selection for items with low carbon footprint and decreased selection for items with high carbon footprint. Our results supported this hypothesis.

description: Phenomenological implications of neutrino oscillations implied by recent experimental data on pattern of neutrino mass matrix are disscussed. It is shown that it is possible to have a neutrino mass matrix which shows approximate flavor symmetry; the neutrino mass differences arise from flavor violation in off-diagonal Yukawa couplings. Two modest extensions of the standard model, which can embed the resulting neutrino mass matix have also been discussed.
description: 8 pages, Latex, The naturalness, finetunning and stability questions of the degenerate neutrino mass are discussed. The implications of the two models considered in the paper for neutrinoless double beta decay are also discussed
Sample canonical correlation coefficients of high-dimensional random vectors: local law and Tracy-Widom limit

description: Consider two random vectors $\mathbf C_1^{1/2}\mathbf x \in \mathbb R^p$ and $\mathbf C_2^{1/2}\mathbf y\in \mathbb R^q$, where the entries of $\mathbf x$ and $\mathbf y$ are i.i.d. random variables with mean zero and variance one, and $\mathbf C_1$ and $\mathbf C_2$ are $p \times p$ and $q\times q$ deterministic population covariance matrices. With $n$ independent samples of $(\mathbf C_1^{1/2}\mathbf x,\mathbf C_2^{1/2}\mathbf y)$, we study the sample correlation between these two vectors using canonical correlation analysis. We denote by $S_{xx}$ and $S_{yy}$ the sample covariance matrices for $\mathbf C_1^{1/2}\mathbf x$ and $\mathbf C_2^{1/2}\mathbf y$, respectively, and $S_{xy}$ the sample cross-covariance matrix. Then the sample canonical correlation coefficients are the square roots of the eigenvalues of the sample canonical correlation matrix $\cal C_{XY}:=S_{xx}^{-1}S_{xy}S_{yy}^{-1}S_{yx}$. Under the high-dimensional setting with ${p}/{n}\to c_1 \in (0, 1)$ and ${q}/{n}\to c_2 \in (0, 1-c_1)$ as $n\to \infty$, we prove that the largest eigenvalue of $\mathcal C_{XY}$ converges to the Tracy-Widom distribution as long as we have $\lim_{s \rightarrow \infty}s^4 [\mathbb{P}(\vert x_{ij} \vert \geq s)+ \mathbb{P}(\vert y_{ij} \vert \geq s)]=0$. This extends the result in [16], which established the Tracy-Widom limit of the largest eigenvalue of $\mathcal C_{XY}$ under the assumption that all moments are finite. Our proof is based on a linearization method, which reduces the problem to the study of a $(p+q+2n)\times (p+q+2n)$ random matrix $H$. In particular, we shall prove an optimal local law on its inverse $G:=H^{-1}$, i.e the resolvent. This local law is the main tool for both the proof of the Tracy-Widom law in this paper, and the study in [22,23] on the canonical correlation coefficients of high-dimensional random vectors with finite rank correlations.

description: This report examines the impact on food consumption of increased food prices resulting from economic reform measures adopted by the Dominican Republic in 1984. The response of urban and rural consumers of various income levels to these price increases was determined by estimating the structure of food demand. Prices rose for certain basic commodities including soya oil, wheat flour,-algar, bread, and milk. This led to the substitution of cheaper commodities and a decline in total caloric intake across all groups. Although higher income groups had a greater reduction in caloric intake, lower income urban consumers were most severely affected. An additional 34 percent, for an overall 77 percent of Dominican households, were placed at some degree of nutritional risk as a result of this policy. Alternative monetary policies should be explored to minimize potential negative nutrition effects. When consumers substitute locally produced food for imported food, U.S. food exporters face decreasing demand.

description: In this study, we constructed an emotion index that quantitatively represents the collective emotions present in the Japanese web space by utilizing Social Networking Service (SNS) post data. Building upon previous research that used blog data and the Profile of Mood States (POMS), we restructured the methodology using posts from X (formerly Twitter) and updated the model by adding the ``Friendliness" indicator from the POMS2 metrics. Through periodic and trend analyses of the emotional indicators derived from X's post data, we found that the extension is consistent with results previously reported using blog data. This suggests that our methodology effectively captures typical emotional fluctuations in Japanese society, independent of specific SNS platforms, and is expected to serve as an index to visualize societal trends.

description: Government intervention in agriculture in the USSR is substantial. Data on agricultural policy programs for 1986 indicate large subsidies accruing simultaneously to producers and consumers. The most significant subsidy channel in the USSR is the system of prices. Domestic consumer prices are administratively held well below world market levels, while domestic producer prices are generally above world market levels. Since 1986, the overall amount of support to agriculture in the USSR has increased. Subsidies to producers though, have declined, while subsidies to consumers have increased significantly.

description: We calculate the $c\bar{b}$ mass spectrum, the splitting values and some other properties in the framework of the semi-relativistic equation by applying the shifted large-N expansion technique. We use seven different central potentials together with an improved QCD-motivated interquark potentials calculated to two loops in the modified minimal-subtraction $% (\bar{MS}) $ scheme. The parameters of these potentials are fitted to generate the semi-relativistic bound states of $ c\bar{b}$ quarkonium system in close conformity with the experimental and the present available calculated center-of-gravity (c.o.g.) data. Calculations of the energy bound states are carried out up to third order. Our results are in excellent fit with the results of the other works.

description: Pedestrian trajectory prediction in dynamic scenes remains a challenging and critical problem in numerous applications, such as self-driving cars and socially aware robots. Challenges concentrate on capturing pedestrians' motion patterns and social interactions, as well as handling the future uncertainties. Recent studies focus on modeling pedestrians' motion patterns with recurrent neural networks, capturing social interactions with pooling-based or graph-based methods, and handling future uncertainties by using random Gaussian noise as the latent variable. However, they do not integrate specific obstacle avoidance experience (OAE) that may improve prediction performance. For example, pedestrians' future trajectories are always influenced by others in front. Here we propose GTPPO (Graph-based Trajectory Predictor with Pseudo Oracle), an encoder-decoder-based method conditioned on pedestrians' future behaviors. Pedestrians' motion patterns are encoded with a long short-term memory unit, which introduces the temporal attention to highlight specific time steps. Their interactions are captured by a graph-based attention mechanism, which draws OAE into the data-driven learning process of graph attention. Future uncertainties are handled by generating multi-modal outputs with an informative latent variable. Such a variable is generated by a novel pseudo oracle predictor, which minimizes the knowledge gap between historical and ground-truth trajectories. Finally, the GTPPO is evaluated on ETH, UCY and Stanford Drone datasets, and the results demonstrate state-of-the-art performance. Besides, the qualitative evaluations show successful cases of handling sudden motion changes in the future. Such findings indicate that GTPPO can peek into the future.

description: Consider the coradical filtrations of the Hopf algebras of planar binary trees of Loday and Ronco and of permutations of Malvenuto and Reutenauer. We give explicit isomorphisms showing that the associated graded Hopf algebras are dual to the cocommutative Hopf algebras introduced in the late 1980's by Grossman and Larson. These Hopf algebras are constructed from ordered trees and heap-ordered trees, respectively. These results follow from the fact that whenever one starts from a Hopf algebra that is a cofree graded coalgebra, the associated graded Hopf algebra is a shuffle Hopf algebra.

description: We present high resolution optical and UV spectra of the 46 min orbital period, helium binary, GP Com. Our data contains simultaneous photometric correction which confirms the flaring behaviour observed in previous optical and UV data. In this system all lines show a triple peaked structure where the outer two peaks are associated with the accretion disc around the compact object. The main aim of this paper is to constrain the origin of the central peak, also called ``central spike''. We find that the central spike contributes to the flare spectra indicating that its origin is probably the compact object. We also detect that the central spike moves with orbital phase following an S-wave pattern. The radial velocity semiamplitude of the S-wave is ~10 km/s indicating that its origin is near the centre of mass of the system, which in this case lies very close to the white dwarf. Our resolution is higher than that of previous data which allows us to resolve structure in the central peak of the line. The central spike in three of the HeI lines shows another peak blueshifted with respect to the main peak. We propose that one of the peaks is a neutral helium forbidden transition excited in a high electron density region. This forbidden transition is associated with the permitted one (the stronger peak in two of the lines). The presence of a high electron density region again favours the white dwarf as their origin.

description: This paper analyzes the allocation of acreage to six Feed and Food grains in the U. S. A general theory of acreage allocation is developed. The simultaneity or jointness in the allocation of acreage to competing crops is addressed. A theoretically correct and technically feasible three-stage least squares method is used to estimate a system of six simultaneous acreage allocation equations. The estimated structural parameters, impact multipliers and interim multipliers all suggest that government policy variables play dominant roles in acreage allocation equations. In addition, simple lagged product prices are found to effectively serve as the expected prices in directing acreage allocation to the crops studied.

description: A multiregion computable general equilibrium (CGE) model was used to assess the longrun effects of higher energy prices on agricultural production, prices, and trade. An increase in the price of energy enters farmers' cost functions through direct energy use and through the indirect influence of energy prices on intermediate inputs, especially fertilizers. The multiregion feature of the model allows us to include the effects of energy price shocks on economies of other regions and to assess price changes in a global context. Because farming is highly energy intensive, agricultural output falls more than output in the manufacturing and services sectors of each region of the model. Real returns to farmland, a good indicator of farm welfare, fall in each of the four regions.

description: Entanglement can be distributed using a carrier which is always separable from the rest of the systems involved. Up to now, this effect has predominantly been analyzed in the case where the carrier-system interactions take the form of ideal unitary operations, thus leaving untested its robustness against either non-unitary or unitary errors. We address this issue by considering the effect of incoherent dynamics acting alongside imperfect unitary interactions. In particular, we determine the restrictions that need to be placed on the interaction time, as well as the strength of the incoherent dynamics. We find that with non-unitary errors, we can still successfully distribute entanglement, provided we measure the carrier in a suitable basis. Introducing imperfections in the unitary dynamics, we show that entanglement gain is possible even with substantial unitary errors. Moreover, certain variations in the strength of the unitary dynamics can allow for greater robustness against non-unitary errors. Therefore, even in experimental settings where unitary operations cannot be carried out without imperfections, it is still possible to generate entanglement between two systems using a separable carrier.

COMMENTS: Van Someren noted in the original description that the type of guasso was in the Rothschild Collection and bore the above data; he had eight specimens. The holotype is the only specimen that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection. There are two paratypes in RMCA (Louette et al., 2002: 75). Earlier, van Someren (1922a: 166) had called attention to differences in his specimens of eminibey from northwest Kenya, but did not introduce a name at that time.

description: Cephalothrips Uzel
 Cephalothrips Uzel, 1895: 244. Type species Phloeothrips monilicornis Reuter 1885, by monotypy.
 There are eight species listed in this genus from around the world (ThripsWiki 2014), but the relationships of the genus remain equivocal. Although listed by Dang et al. (2014) in the Phlaeothrips lineage, primarily because of the presence of only two sense cones on the fourth antennal segment, the genus can equally well be considered a member of the Liothrips -lineage that exhibits extreme wing-reduction and in which one sense cone has also been lost. The diagnostic characters of the genus are as follows: usually apterous; head longer than wide with short postocular setae; antennal segment III with 1 sense cone, IV with 2, VI broadly truncate at apex; pronotum with setae am, aa and ml minute, epim and pa short; prosternal basantra absent; mesopresternum reduced to lateral triangles; sternopleural sutures present; fore tarsi with small tooth; tergites II–VII without sigmoid wing-retaining setae; tergite IX setae S1 and S2 short; tube shorter than head, anal setae shorter than tube; macropterae uncommon and lacking fore wing duplicated cilia.

description: The considerable literature published in the past 10 years on farm-to- market milk routes, their -organization and structure, and the charges for their services, suggests a widespread awareness of problems.In Vermont, we have attacked several of the, complex issues regarding milk hauling. In this paper, we attempt an examination of one particular aspect of the rate structure: the equity of charges among producers on given routes for milk hauling. s Later in this paper we describe a rate structure for assembly and. hauling of bulk milk that we think will improve this aspect of equity.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) constitute a versatile platform for atomically thin optoelectronics devices and spin-valley memory applications. In monolayers optical absorption is strong, but the transition energy is not tunable as the neutral exciton has essentially no out-of-plane electric dipole. In contrast, interlayer exciton transitions in heterobilayers are widely tunable in applied electric fields, but their coupling to light is considerably reduced. Here, we show tuning over 120 meV of interlayer excitons with high oscillator strength in bilayer MoS2. These shifts are due to the quantum confined Stark effect, here the electron is localised to one of the layers yet the hole is delocalised across the bilayer. We optically probe the interaction between intra- and interlayer excitons as they are energetically tuned into resonance. This allows studying their mixing supported by beyond standard density functional theory calculations including excitonic effects. In MoS2 trilayers our experiments uncover two types of interlayer excitons with and without in-built electric dipoles, respectively. Highly tunable excitonic transitions with large oscillator strength and in-built dipoles, that lead to considerable exciton-exciton interactions, hold great promise for non-linear optics with polaritons.

description: GRB 970815 was a well-localized gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) for which no afterglow was identified despite follow-up ASCA and ROSAT pointings and optical imaging to limiting magnitude R > 23. While an X-ray source, AX/RX J1606.8+8130,was detected just outside the ASM error box, it was never associated with the GRB because it was not clearly fading and because no optical afterglow was ever discovered. We recently made deep optical observations of the AX/RX J1606.8+8130 position, which is blank to a limit of V > 24.3 and I > 24.0, implying an X-ray-to-optical flux ratio f{X}/f{V} > 500. In view of this extreme limit, we analyze and reevaluate the ASCA and ROSAT data and conclude that the X-ray source AX/RX J1606.8+8130 was indeed the afterglow of GRB 970815, which corresponds to an optically ``dark'' GRB. Alternatively, if AX/RX J1608+8130 is discovered to be a persistent source, then it could be associated with EGRET source 3EG J1621+8203, whose error box includes this position.

description: Low thermal conductivity of polymers, which is one of the considerable drawbacks of commonly used composite structures, has been the focus of many researchers aiming to achieve high-performance polymer-based nanocomposites through the inclusion of highly thermally conductive fillers inside the polymer matrices. Thus, in the present study, a multiscale scheme using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) and finite element (FE) method is developed to explore the impact of different nano-sized fillers (carbon-nitride and graphene) on the effective thermal conductivity of polyethylene-based nanocomposites. We show that the thermal conductivity of amorphous polyethylene at room temperature using the reactive bond order (REBO) interatomic potential is nearly 0.36 0.05W/mK. Also, the atomistic results predict that, compared to the C3N and graphene nanosheets, the C2N nanofilm presents a much stronger interfacial thermal conductance (ITC) with polyethylene. Furthermore, the results indicate that the effective thermal conductivity values of C2N-polyethylene, C3N-polyethylene, and graphene-polyethylene nanocomposite, at constant volume fractions of 1%, are about 0.47, 0.56, and 0.74 W/mK, respectively. In other words, the results of our models reveal that the thermal conductivity of fillers is the dominant factor that defines the effective thermal conductivity of nanocomposites.

Now Gymnoris pyrgita pallida Neumann, 1908. See Hartert, 1919: 158; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 23; Dickinson, 2003: 718; Fry and Keith, 2004: 44–45; and Summers-Smith, 2009: 809.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 717616, adult male, collected at Shendi (= Shendy), 16.41N, 33.22E (Times Atlas), Nile River (not White Nile), Sudan, on 28 February (not 26 January) 1901, by N.C. Rothschild and A.F.R. Wollaston (no. 170). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Only two specimens of pallida collected before the publication of the name came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection, even though measurements of one male and more than one female were given in the original description. The single male was designated the holotype in the original description. The paratype in AMNH is: AMNH 717617, unsexed, Shendi, Sudan, 28 February 1901, by Rothschild and Wollaston (no. 171). While this specimen was not sexed in the field, the Rothschild label, written by Hartert, is marked ‘‘ ♀!’’
The subspecies pallida is frequently includ- ed in the species xanthocollis, and both it and pyrgita may be included in the genus Petronia.

description: In collaboration with the Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) program at the University of British Columbia, this research project examined the factors that contributed to increased self-perceived climate literacy in students in an attempt to investigate the relationship between their self-perceived literacy of sustainable consumerism and their communication of those ideas. A sample of UBC undergraduates was measured on their personal sustainability practices, familiarity with sustainability as a norm in Canada, sources of information, actual literacy on sustainable clothing consumption, number of conversations held by them around these topics, and self-perceived literacy through a survey that was administered online. Results from a multiple regression analysis revealed that actual literacy and rated importance of sustainability in Canada negatively predicted self-perceived literacy, while personal sustainability and the number of critically selected sources positively predicted it. There was a small-to-medium correlation between self-perceived literacy and the number of conversations on sustainable clothing consumption, suggesting that people’s perception of their own knowledge is related to their willingness to translate intention into action. The practical implications of these findings stem from identifying a gap between perceived and actual literacy, which can inform future educational interventions.
