description: Even though farming accounts for only about 1 percent of the total national workforce, it is at the core of the food and fiber system. The system is one of the largest sectors in the U.S. economy, and is comprised of industries related to farming, including feed, seed, fertilizer, machinery, food processing, manufacturing, and exporting. The interrelationships among the sectors of the food and fiber system and the U.S. and world economies are many and complex. As a result, U.S. and world policies and economic factors--such as interest and inflation rates--play a critical role in everything from the cost and availability of farm credit to the demand for farm products at home and abroad. The farm crisis of the 1980's illustrates how specific economic events can impact the food and fiber system. In addition, long-term changes in the system have occurred in response to shifts in consumer incomes, demographics, lifestyles, and perceptions of health and diet.

description: We present a group-theoretic criterion under which one may verify the Artin conjecture for some (non-monomial) Galois representations, up to finite height in the complex plane. In particular, the criterion applies to S5 and A5 representations. Under more general conditions, the technique allows for the possibility of verifying the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions of non-abelian extensions of Q. In addition, we discuss two methods for locating zeros of arbitrary L-functions. The first uses the explicit formula and techniques (developed jointly with Andreas Strombergsson) for computing with trace formulae. The second method generalizes that of Turing for verifying the Riemann hypothesis. In order to apply it we develop a rigorous algorithm for computing general L-functions on the critical line via the Fast Fourier Transform. Finally, we present some numerical results testing Artin's conjecture for S5 representations, and the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions of S5 and A5 fields.

Multicultural Professionals and the New Era of Commercial Aviation: Experience as a Strategic Differentiator in the Skies
Creators: name: Hwang, Bitt
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This opinion article explores the importance of flight attendants with a multicultural profile in today’s commercial aviation. Drawing from her own experience in international airlines and her fluency in Korean, English, and Chinese, the author argues that the role of these professionals goes beyond service delivery, positioning them as strategic assets in ensuring safety, mediating conflicts, and delivering excellence in passenger care. The text suggests that, given the growing diversity of travelers and the globalization of air routes, professionals with intercultural fluency and international experience represent a true competitive advantage for airlines. The article proposes that U.S. aviation recognizes and incorporates this profile as a way to elevate operational standards and strengthen its global reputation.

description: Census of agriculture data were used to estimate manure nutrient production and the capacity of cropland and pastureland to assimilate nutrients. Most farms (78 percent for nitrogen and 69 percent for phosphorus) have adequate land on which it is physically feasible to apply the manure produced onfarm at agronomic rates. (The costs of applying manure at these rates have not been assessed). Even so, manure that is produced on operations that cannot fully apply it to their own land at agronomic rates accounts for 60 percent of the Nation's manure nitrogen and 70 percent of the manure phosphorus. In these cases, most counties with farms that produce "excess" nutrients have adequate crop acres not associated with animal operations, but within the county, on which it is feasible to spread the manure at agronomic rates. However, barriers to moving manure to other farms need to be studied. About 20 percent of the Nation's onfarm excess manure nitrogen is produced in counties that have insufficient cropland for its application at agronomic rates (23 percent for phosphorus). For areas without adequate land, alternatives to local land application-such as energy production-will need to be developed.
Taking the Counterfactual Online: Efficient and Unbiased Online Evaluation for Ranking

description: Counterfactual evaluation can estimate Click-Through-Rate (CTR) differences between ranking systems based on historical interaction data, while mitigating the effect of position bias and item-selection bias. We introduce the novel Logging-Policy Optimization Algorithm (LogOpt), which optimizes the policy for logging data so that the counterfactual estimate has minimal variance. As minimizing variance leads to faster convergence, LogOpt increases the data-efficiency of counterfactual estimation. LogOpt turns the counterfactual approach - which is indifferent to the logging policy - into an online approach, where the algorithm decides what rankings to display. We prove that, as an online evaluation method, LogOpt is unbiased w.r.t. position and item-selection bias, unlike existing interleaving methods. Furthermore, we perform large-scale experiments by simulating comparisons between thousands of rankers. Our results show that while interleaving methods make systematic errors, LogOpt is as efficient as interleaving without being biased.

Super Yang-Mills Theory from a Supermatrix Model

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is known that Yang-Mills theories on non-commutative space can be derived from large-N reduced models. Gauge fields in non-commutative Yang-Mills theories can be described as fluctuations of matrices expanded about an appropriate classical solution of the reduced models. We investigate a generalization of this procedure in superfield formalism. We show that we can construct a supermatrix model such that D=4 $\N=1$ super Yang-Mills theory can be derived from it. In addition, we can couple matter supermatrices to this supermatrix model and also construct models corresponding to $\N=2$ and $\N=4$ super Yang-Mills theories. In these investigations, we need to introduce a new non-anti-commutative superspace, and we investigate the definition of field theories on this space.

Year: 1998
Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: The economic health of many rural towns and regions depends on their ability to maintain a competitive manufacturing sector. In a recent ERS survey, rural manufacturers reported that, more than any other factor, the quality of local labor hindered their competitiveness. Other frequently cited local problems included State and local taxes, environmental regulations, the attractiveness of the area to managers and professionals, and the quality of local schools. The extent of these problems varies by region more than along a rural-urban dimension. Labor quality problems were more likely to be reported by manufacturers who paid below average wages, hired less-educated workers, and used advanced technologies. Advanced technology users in counties that specialized in manufacturing or had 2-year colleges were less likely to report labor quality problems.

description: Retail produce managers were surveyed about anticipated changes in the supermarket produce department and in shipper-retailer relationships in one, two, and five years. With contracts becoming more common in produce procurement, whether or not retailers and shippers can identify mutual benefits- and thus opportunities for successful long-term cooperative relationships- is explored. The study's "View to the Future" section asks retail management to predict major trends in produce procurement: the growth of fresh-cut/branded products, produce-section growth in terms of total store sales, the increase in produce SKU's (Stock Keeping Units), how extensive contracting will become in produce, and the continuing decline in the number of suppliers and the further consolidation in the produce-supply sector.

description: The dual basis of the canonical basis of the modified quantized enveloping algebra is studied, in particular for type $A$. The construction of a basis for the coordinate algebra of the $n\times n$ quantum matrices is appropriate for the study the multiplicative property. It is shown that this basis is invariant under multiplication by certain quantum minors including the quantum determinant. Then a basis of quantum SL(n) is obtained by setting the quantum determinant to one. This basis turns out to be equivalent to the dual canonical basis.

description: The impacts of meat pricing on selected financial results for the Cattlemen's Texas Longhorn Beef Cooperative, Inc. were investigated in a stochastic simulation model. Triangular price distributions for boxed beef and various carcasses categories were specified for each month and correlated, based on 2000 USDA carlot meat report data. Hot-carcass weights were also modeled as triangular distributions. At 5,000 head and with meat prices 12% over USDA prices the probability of net profits before taxes (NPBT) falling below $0 was 1.3%. At 10,000 head and payments 9% over USDA prices there was an 11.8% chance of NPBT falling below $0.

description: The objective of this study was to identify profiles of consumers frequenting three types of food retail outlets- grocery stores, farmer markets, and street stalls- to purchase food in a transition economy in Bulgaria. This study estimated two-stage decision models to distinguish between the two decisions of choosing to shop at a particular outlet and how often to shop. Retail-outlet selection and shopping frequency were affected by different sets of sociodemographic characteristics. In particular, household income was a major factor influencing the selection of farmer markets and street stands, but had no effect on the selection of and shopping frequency at grocery stores.

description: Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy has demonstrated innovative therapeutic effectiveness in fighting cancers; however, it is extremely expensive due to the intrinsic patient-to-patient variability in cell manufacturing. We propose in this work a novel calibration-free statistical framework to effectively recover critical quality attributes under the patient-to-patient variability. Specifically, we model this variability via a patient-specific calibration parameter, and use readings from multiple biosensors to construct a patient-invariance statistic, thereby alleviating the effect of the calibration parameter. A carefully formulated optimization problem and an algorithmic framework are presented to find the best patient-invariance statistic and the model parameters. Using the patient-invariance statistic, we can recover the critical quality attribute of interest, free from the calibration parameter. We demonstrate improvements of the proposed calibration-free method in different simulation experiments. In the cell manufacturing case study, our method not only effectively recovers viable cell concentration for monitoring, but also reveals insights for the cell manufacturing process.

description: Recently there has been a lot of interest in identifying modules at the level of genetic and metabolic networks of organisms, as well as in identifying single genes and reactions that are essential for the organism. A goal of computational and systems biology is to go beyond identification towards an explanation of specific modules and essential genes and reactions in terms of specific structural or evolutionary constraints. In the metabolic networks of E. coli, S. cerevisiae and S. aureus, we identified metabolites with a low degree of connectivity, particularly those that are produced and/or consumed in just a single reaction. Using FBA we also determined reactions essential for growth in these metabolic networks. We find that most reactions identified as essential in these networks turn out to be those involving the production or consumption of low degree metabolites. Applying graph theoretic methods to these metabolic networks, we identified connected clusters of these low degree metabolites. The genes involved in several operons in E. coli are correctly predicted as those of enzymes catalyzing the reactions of these clusters. We independently identified clusters of reactions whose fluxes are perfectly correlated. We find that the composition of the latter `functional clusters' is also largely explained in terms of clusters of low degree metabolites in each of these organisms. Our findings mean that most metabolic reactions that are essential can be tagged by one or more low degree metabolites. Those reactions are essential because they are the only ways of producing or consuming their respective tagged metabolites. Furthermore, reactions whose fluxes are strongly correlated can be thought of as `glued together' by these low degree metabolites.

description: Agricultural industries are increasingly challenged to develop strategies that enable them, as a group of firms and industry organizations, to respond to an increasingly global marketplace. One approach used by several industries is the application of strategic planning and management tools, commonly used in a single business setting, to coordinate analysis and action at an industry level. This is accomplished through a relation-based strategic group of firms from multiple levels in the vertical supply chain. Here it is suggested that this type of strategic effort, called industry strategic planning, provides unique benefits for industries engaged in such an effort, including limiting incentives for increased concentration and vertical integration. As such, industry strategic planning can be a useful method for revitalizing and sustaining agricultural industries.

Differential testing of CMOS integrated circuits
Creators: name: Syal, Ashish
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As CMOS technologies scale down, background leakage current increases inexorably, primarily due to device sub-threshold leakage. As a result, conventional single-threshold pass/fail IDDQ testing may no longer be valid for deep sub-micron technology. A number of alternatives to single threshold IDDQ testing have been proposed. A testing technique to complement IDDQ testing that has shown promise is thermal signature testing. The validity of using temperature as a test observable was investigated. After establishing this, the use of differential thermal sensing as a possible way of detecting bridging faults in CMOS gates was studied. Differential sensing provides high sensitivity to temperature changes generated by internal changes of the power distribution due to defects and immunity to ambient temperature changes. Different topologies for such sensors have been proposed targeting bipolar and BiCMOS. The novelty of the work is that these were the first such sensors to have been developed in CMOS technology. The thermal sensors were designed, simulated, fabricated and the chips that came back were tested. Three different types of sensors were designed and developed. They have the advantage that the performance of the CUT is unaffected by the sensors, as there is no direct electrical loading of the circuit due to them. Since these sensors do not directly load the circuit under test, they allow a non-intrusive methodology for testing. Also the sensors allow for on-line and off-line test, and diagnosis capabilities.

description: By making use of the self-consistent projection operator method with high-momentum and high-energy resolutions, we find a kink structure in the quasiparticle excitation spectrum of the two-dimensional Hubbard model in the underdoped regime. The kink is caused by a mixing between the quasiparticle state and excitations with short-range antiferromagnetic order. We suggest that this might be the origin of the strong concentration dependence of the 'kink' found in La_{2-x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} (x=0.03-0.07).

description: We introduce a new approach to the Higgs naturalness problem, where the value of the Higgs mass is tied to cosmic stability and the possibility of a large observable Universe. The Higgs mixes with the dilaton of a CFT sector whose true ground state has a large negative vacuum energy. If the Higgs VEV is non-zero and below $\mathcal{O}({\rm TeV})$, the CFT also admits a second metastable vacuum, where the expansion history of the Universe is conventional. As a result, only Hubble patches with unnaturally small values of the Higgs mass support inflation and post-inflationary expansion, while all other patches rapidly crunch. The elementary Higgs VEV driving the dilaton potential is the essence of our new solution to the hierarchy problem. The main experimental prediction is a light dilaton field in the 0.1-10 GeV range that mixes with the Higgs. Part of the viable parameter space has already been probed by measurements of rare B-meson decays, and the rest will be fully explored by future colliders and experiments searching for light, weakly-coupled particles.

A low level motion controller for path tracking control of a tracked mobile robot
Creators: name: Ardron, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main goal of this thesis is to improve the path-tracking performance of a tracked mobile robot (an excavator) at the low level. The three contributions of this research are: the implementation of a cross-coupling motion controller on top of the existing fuzzy logic track controllers, the integration of a vision motion estimation system to be used in conjunction with hydraulic flow meters to detect track slippage, and the implementation of a basic track slippage controller. The low level system, consisting of the cross-coupling motion controller and the track controllers, was modeled and simulated. The stability of the designed controller was determined by the use of a Bode plot stability analysis. The vision motion estimation system, utilizing a trinocular video camera (Triclops™), was integrated with the hydraulic flow meters of the excavator. The mounting location of the camera on the excavator, the maximum allowable motion of the camera, and the time between image grabs were all determined. A method for detecting and quantifying individual track slippage was also developed. Finally, a basic slippage controller was developed. The slippage controller used the track slippage values obtained from the vision motion estimation system and the hydraulic flow meters. A minimum slippage threshold was determined for the slippage controller as well as a means to reduce and eliminate the track slippage. The results of the thesis work show that the cross-coupling motion controller does improve the path-tracking accuracy of the excavator. For the experiments completed for this thesis, the lateral path error incurred during a 30 second (6 meters long) commanded straight line path was reduced from 16 centimeters to almost zero by the use of the cross-coupling controller. The slippage results show that the use of the slippage controller can be advantageous in the area of outdoor mobile robots, even though the existing system has speed and accuracy limitations. The experiments conducted show that track slippage magnitudes of over 20% could be detected and the machine slowed down to eliminate these track slippages.

description: We study the statistical mechanics of RNA secondary structures designed to have an attraction between two different types of structures as a model system for heteropolymer aggregation. The competition between the branching entropy of the secondary structure and the energy gained by pairing drives the RNA to undergo a `temperature independent' second order phase transition from a molten to an aggregated phase'. The aggregated phase thus obtained has a macroscopically large number of contacts between different RNAs. The partition function scaling exponent for this phase is θ~ 1/2 and the crossover exponent of the phase transition is ν~ 5/3. The relevance of these calculations to the aggregation of biological molecules is discussed.

description: Historically, Jordan's traditional markets for fresh produce have been the Persian Gulf countries. However, these exports have declined in recent years and new markets in Europe have been tapped. One of the main constraints to expanding the European market is the lack of quality-oriented packing houses in Jordan. This study considers the feasibility of a vegetable packing house designed to meet the quality requirements of the European market. The overall objective is to evaluate the economic viability of packing and transporting various fresh produce items to the European market. Specifically, four transportation scenarios were evaluated using a comprehensive firm-level, dynamic and stochastic, multiple-year, capital budgeting computer simulation model. Simulation provides a very flexible technique that can easily incorporate risk and uncertainty into the investment decision-making process. The results show that the medium sized vegetable packing house is viable when serving the European markets. Also, the economic performance of the packing house improved when shipping by refrigerated truck. Furthermore, the stabilizing effect of land transport was captured in the much lower variability in the expected returns.

description: Several low-power kiloparsec-scale jets in nearby radio galaxies are known for their synchrotron radiation extending up to optical and X-ray photon energies. Here we comment on high-energy gamma-ray emission of one particular object of this kind, i.e. the kiloparsec-scale jet of M 87 radio galaxy, resulting from comptonization of the starlight photon field of the host galaxy by the synchrotron-emitting jet electrons. In the analysis, we include relativistic bulk velocity of the jet, as well as the Klein-Nishina effects. We show, that upper limits to the kiloparsec-scale jet inverse-Compton radiation imposed by HESS and HEGRA Cherenkov Telescopes - which detected a variable source of VHE gamma-ray emission within 0.1 deg (~30 kpc) of the M 87 central region - give us an important constraint on the magnetic field strength in this object, namely that the magnetic field cannot be smaller than the equipartition value (referring solely to the radiating electrons) in the brightest knot of the jet, and most likely, is even stronger. In this context, we point out a need for the amplification of the magnetic energy flux along the M 87 jet from the sub-parsec to kiloparsec scales, suggesting the turbulent dynamo as a plausible process responsible for the aforementioned amplification.

description: In the preceding paper, introducing a cutoff, the present author gave a proof of the statement that the transition to a superconducting state is a second-order phase transition in the BCS-Bogoliubov model of superconductivity on the basis of fixed-point theorems, and solved the long-standing problem of the second-order phase transition from the viewpoint of operator theory. In this paper we study the temperature dependence of the specific heat and the critical magnetic field in the model from the viewpoint of operator theory. We first show some properties of the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation with respect to the temperature, and give the exact and explicit expression for the gap in the specific heat divided by the specific heat. We then show that it does not depend on superconductors and is a universal constant. Moreover, we show that the critical magnetic field is smooth with respect to the temperature, and point out the behavior of both the critical magnetic field and its derivative.

description: We study computationally and experimentally the propagation of chemical pulses in complex geometries.The reaction of interest, CO oxidation, takes place on single crystal Pt(110) surfaces that are microlithographically patterned; they are also addressable through a focused laser beam, manipulated through galvanometer mirrors, capable of locally altering the crystal temperature and thus affecting pulse propagation. We focus on sudden changes in the domain shape (corners in a Y-junction geometry) that can affect the pulse dynamics; we also show how brief, localized temperature perturbations can be used to control reactive pulse propagation.The computational results are corroborated through experimental studies in which the pulses are visualized using Reflection Anisotropy Microscopy.

Wave turbulence and vortices in Bose-Einstein condensation

description: We report a numerical study of turbulence and Bose-Einstein condensation within the two-dimmensional Gross-Pitaevski model with repulsive interaction. In presence of weak forcing localized around some wave number in the Fourier space, we observe three qualitatively different evolution stages. At the initial stage a thermodynamic energy equipartition spectrum forms at both smaller and larger scales with respect to the forcing scale. This agrees with predictions of the the four-wave kinetic equation of the Wave Turbulence (WT) theory. At the second stage, WT breaks down at large scales and the interactions become strongly nonlinear. Here, we observe formation of a gas of quantum vortices whose number decreases due to an annihilation process helped by the acoustic component. This process leads to formation of a coherent-phase Bose-Einstein condensate. After such a coherent-phase condensate forms, evolution enters a third stage characterised by three-wave interactions of acoustic waves that can be described again using the WT theory.

A High Energy Nuclear Database Proposal
Creators: name: Brown, David A.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose to develop a high-energy heavy-ion experimental database and make it accessible to the scientific community through an on-line interace. This database will be searchable and cross-indexed with relevant publications, including published detector descriptions. Since this database will be a community resource, it requires the high-energy nuclear physics community's financial and manpower support. This database should eventually contain all published data from the Bevalac, AGS and SPS to RHIC and LHC energies, proton-proton to nucleus-nucleus collisions as well as other relevant systems and all measured observables. Such a database would have tremendous scientific payoff as it makes systematic studies easier and allows simpler benchmarking of theoretical models to a broad range of old and new experiments. Furthermore, there is a growing need for compilations of high-energy nuclear data for applications including stockpile stewardship, technology development for intertial confinement fusion and target and source development for upcoming facilities such as the Next Linear Collider. To enhance the utility of this database, we propose periodically performing evaluations of the data and summarizing the results in topical reviews.

description: The ABCD method is one of the most widely used data-driven background estimation techniques in high energy physics. Cuts on two statistically-independent classifiers separate signal and background into four regions, so that background in the signal region can be estimated simply using the other three control regions. Typically, the independent classifiers are chosen "by hand" to be intuitive and physically motivated variables. Here, we explore the possibility of automating the design of one or both of these classifiers using machine learning. We show how to use state-of-the-art decorrelation methods to construct powerful yet independent discriminators. Along the way, we uncover a previously unappreciated aspect of the ABCD method: its accuracy hinges on having low signal contamination in control regions not just overall, but relative to the signal fraction in the signal region. We demonstrate the method with three examples: a simple model consisting of three-dimensional Gaussians; boosted hadronic top jet tagging; and a recasted search for paired dijet resonances. In all cases, automating the ABCD method with machine learning significantly improves performance in terms of ABCD closure, background rejection and signal contamination.

Large Angle Hadron Correlations from Medium-Induced Gluon Radiation

description: Final state medium-induced gluon radiation in ultradense nuclear matter is examined and shown to favor large angle emission when compared to vacuum bremsstrahlung due to the suppression of collinear gluons. Perturbative expression for the contribution of its hadronic fragments to the back-to-back particle correlations is derived. It is found that in the limit of large jet energy loss gluon radiation determines the yield and angular distribution of | Delta phi | > Pi/2 di-hadrons to transverse momenta pT2 of the associated particles. Clear transition from enhancement to suppression of the away-side hadron correlations is established at moderate pT2 and its experimentally accessible features are predicted versus the trigger particle momentum pT1.

description: During the cold seasons (15 October – 15 April) of 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, 30 strong cold fronts passed through the Washington D.C. (DC) – New York City (NYC) corridor during the late morning – late evening hours. All 30 of these strong cold fronts caused wind-related ground stops and/or ground delay programs at two or more of the following airports within the DC – NYC corridor:  John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, Teterboro Airport and Westchester County Airport. These strong cold fronts also generated several other significant wind- and turbulence-related impacts that affected air traffic in the DC – NYC corridor. This technical attachment identifies atmospheric and surface patterns associated with these strong cold fronts and highlights the significant wind- and turbulence-related impacts they created.
