description: This study explores the conditions under which a trade sanction can be an effective enforcement mechanism used by the US against China in global greenhouse (GHG) mitigation in agriculture and forestry. The problem has the structure of prisoner’s dilemma and hence both the US and China have incentive to free-ride in GHG emissions abatement. It is found that if the US joined the rest of the world (ROW) in emissions abatement in agriculture and forestry, the US could also convince China to comply with abatement using trade sanctions. In this study, trade sanctions are considered as a deterrent to free-riding. For threats of trade sanctions to become a viable enforcement mechanism tariff rates have to achieve two conditions defined in this study: credibility and effectiveness. In a scenario where China is the only region refusing to implement an emissions tax on its GHG from agricultural and forestry sectors it is shown that there may be a window in which trade sanctions constitute a viable enforcement mechanism for the environmental agreement. This window is depicted by tariff rates below 9% (these rates achieve credibility) and above an increasing lower bound (denoting rates achieving effectiveness). The lower bound intersects 9% at a carbon tax of $80/TCE implying that; 1) at carbon taxes above $80/TCE trade sanctions are no longer a viable enforcement mechanism for the environmental agreement, and 2) the viability of trade sanctions as an enforcement mechanism may be limited to a certain level of targeted abatement.

description: Excerpts from the report: The 9,294 farmer cooperatives in the United States owned or leased an estimated 33,000 motortrucks as of January 1, 1961, according to a recent study by Farmer Cooperative Service. These motortrucks do an important part of the hauling of agricultural commodities and supplies for members and patrons of cooperatives. This report gives results of a detailed study of motortruck operating costs of 20 farmer cooperatives. These cooperatives were selected for detailed study to determine truck operating characteristics and costs for the larger fleet operators.
Exploring the Unitarity Triangle through CP violation observables in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$

description: We discuss the determination of the CKM parameters from the forthcoming $CP$ violation observables in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ decays. Combining the information on mixing induced CP violation in $B_s \to K^+ K^-$, with the $B_d \to J/ψK_s$ precision observable $\sin 2β$ and the $B^0_s$--$\bar{B^0_s}$ mixing phase $ϕ_s$, we propose a determination of the unitarity triangle $(\barρ, \barη)$. Computing the penguin parameters $(r, θ)$ within QCD factorization yield precise determination of $(\barρ, \barη)$, reflected by a weak dependence on the $θ$ which is shown as a second order effect. The impact of the direct CP violation observable $C_{KK}$ on the penguin parameters are investigated and a lower bound on $C_{KK}$ is extracted. We also discuss the effect of the $B^0_s$--$\bar{B^0_s}$ new physics mixing phase on the penguin parameters $(r, θ)$ and $S_{KK}$. Using the SU(3)-flavour symmetry argument and the current $B$-factories data provided by the $B_d \to π^+ π^-$ modes, we complement the $B_s \to K^+ K^-$ CP-violating observables in a variety of ways, in particular we find that $S_{KK}>0$. Finally we analyze systematically the SU(3)-symmetry breaking factor within QCD factorization.

description: This study conducts an investigation on the application of classical unit-root tests using parametric tests (the augmented Dickey-Fuller, 1979 – ADF), and nonparametric tests (Phillips and Perron, 1988—PP) to corn and soybean yields in the Delta states using county-level data from 1961 to 2009. The main concern of the paper is to assess what would be drawn about nonstationarity in crop yields using these tests versus using modified versions of these tests (Ng and Perron, 2001) that are assumed to solve size and power problems associated with the ADF and PP tests. The investigation focuses on methodological aspects of the classical tests, uncovers the nature of filtered yields often needed prior to density estimation, sheds light on the effect of lag truncation and provides guidance for future work. It is found that the complexity in yield behavior is such that at very small samples (40 observations or less), results can lead to ambiguous findings in larger samples (49 observations). This sample size analysis with county-level yield data uncovers that negative moving average effects are present and help explain certain ambiguous findings. As a by-product, this paper contains a condensed review of literature on unit-roots that may prove useful in applied research.

description: We measure the clustering of quasars of the final data release (DR16) of eBOSS. The sample contains $343\,708$ quasars between redshifts $0.8\leq z\leq2.2$ over $4699\,\mathrm{deg}^2$. We calculate the Legendre multipoles (0,2,4) of the anisotropic power spectrum and perform a BAO and a Full-Shape (FS) analysis at the effective redshift $z{\rm eff}=1.480$. The errors include systematic errors that amount to 1/3 of the statistical error. The systematic errors comprise a modelling part studied using a blind N-Body mock challenge and observational effects studied with approximate mocks to account for various types of redshift smearing and fibre collisions. For the BAO analysis, we measure the transverse comoving distance $D_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=30.60\pm{0.90}$ and the Hubble distance $D_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=13.34\pm{0.60}$. This agrees with the configuration space analysis, and the consensus yields: $D_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=30.69\pm{0.80}$ and $D_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=13.26\pm{0.55}$. In the FS analysis, we fit the power spectrum using a model based on Regularised Perturbation Theory, which includes Redshift Space Distortions and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. The results are $D_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=30.68\pm{0.90}$ and $D_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=13.52\pm{0.51}$ and we constrain the linear growth rate of structure $f(z_{\rm eff})σ_8(z_{\rm eff})=0.476\pm{0.047}$. Our results agree with the configuration space analysis. The consensus analysis of the eBOSS quasar sample yields: $D_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=30.21\pm{0.79}$, $D_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag}=3.23\pm{0.47}$ and $f(z_{\rm eff})σ_8(z_{\rm eff})=0.462\pm{0.045}$ and is consistent with a flat $Λ{\rm CDM}$ cosmological model using Planck results.

title: Optical Control of the Temporal Contrast in Chirpe-Pulse-Amplification Lasers
Creators: name: Röder, Simon
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: This work aims to develop novel techniques for purely optical control of the rising edge in the temporal
profile ultra-intense laser pulses. The purpose of this is to facilitate research with controlled preplasma
conditions at highest intensities.
The approach pursued in this work for this purpose consists of exploiting the dependency between the
beam size in the pulse stretcher and the shape of the rising edge. Over the course of this thesis, I have
developed an analytical model that is capable of describing the formation of a rising edge in the stretcher of
a chirped-pulse-amplification laser system. For the validation of this model in the frame of an experimental
campaign, I have developed a corresponding stretcher setup. During this campaign, I experimentally
validated the dependency of the slope of the rising edge on the beam size.
Furthermore, I have validated that spatial apertures in the beam path to the stretcher condition the rising
edge, as well as damages on optical surfaces in the Fourier plane in the stretcher.
Subsequent to the experimental validation, I adapted the unfolded configuration of the developed stretcher
to the requirements in the beam path of a chirped-pulse-amplification system. This unfolded setup omits
optical elements in the Fourier plane, which, in agreement with the analytical model, causes an improvement
of the rising edge. The setup further employs beam expansion for further improvement of the
contrast due to the conditioning of the rising edge by the beam size. This novel, purely optical method for
temporal-contrast manipulation was demonstrated in this work for the first time.
By implementing the developed stretcher design at the Petawatt Hoch-Energie Laser für SchwerIoneneXperimente
(PHELIX), I was able to improve the rising edge to a degree where it decreases below a contrast
level of 5.7 · 10−10 within 30 ps prior to the main pulse, in comparison to previously around 100 ps.
Hydrodynamic simulations of the interaction of this rising edge with an 100nm thick polystyrene foil yield
that the achieved rising edge improvement corresponds to a reduction of the preplasma scale length by
almost a factor of three.
I published the results of this work in the journal "High Power Laser Science and Engineering".

description: We have used diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations to study the pressure-induced phase transition from the diamond to $β$-tin structure in silicon. The calculations employ the pseudopotential technique and systematically improvable B-spline basis sets. We show that in order to achieve a precision of 1 GPa in the transition pressure the non-cancelling errors in the energies of the two structures must be reduced to 30 meV/atom. Extensive tests on system size errors, non-local pseudopotential errors, basis-set incompleteness errors, and other sources of error, performed on periodically repeated systems of up to 432 atoms, show that all these errors together can be reduced to well below 30 meV/atom. The calculated DMC transition pressure is about 3-4 GPa higher than the accepted experimental range of values, and we argue that the discrepancy may be due to the fixed-node error inherent in DMC techniques.

description: Best Management Practices (BMP’s) relating to surface water pollution abatement for North Dakota beef cow operations are of particular importance due to the production practices used. Probit models were used to estimate the likelihood of ND beef cow producers adopting specific production practices to ensure environmental compliance. Number of beef cows on operation, education, awareness of cost share programs, contact with extension service, ownership structure, debt level, record keeping method, and pasture season usage were found to be significant in the likelihood of adopting a BMP.

description: 3D image registration is one of the most fundamental and computationally expensive operations in medical image analysis. Here, we present a mixed-precision, Gauss--Newton--Krylov solver for diffeomorphic registration of two images. Our work extends the publicly available CLAIRE library to GPU architectures. Despite the importance of image registration, only a few implementations of large deformation diffeomorphic registration packages support GPUs. Our contributions are new algorithms to significantly reduce the run time of the two main computational kernels in CLAIRE: calculation of derivatives and scattered-data interpolation. We deploy (i) highly-optimized, mixed-precision GPU-kernels for the evaluation of scattered-data interpolation, (ii) replace Fast-Fourier-Transform (FFT)-based first-order derivatives with optimized 8th-order finite differences, and (iii) compare with state-of-the-art CPU and GPU implementations. As a highlight, we demonstrate that we can register $256^3$ clinical images in less than 6 seconds on a single NVIDIA Tesla V100. This amounts to over 20$\times$ speed-up over the current version of CLAIRE and over 30$\times$ speed-up over existing GPU implementations.

description: Runtime reconfiguration considered as "applying required changes to a running system" plays an important role for providing high availability not only of safety- and mission-critical systems, but also for commercial web-applications offering professional services. Hereby, the main concerns are maintaining the consistency of the running system during reconfiguration and minimizing its down-time caused by the reconfiguration. This paper focuses on the platform independent subsystem that realises deployment and redeployment of J2EE modules based on the new J2EE Deployment API as a part of the implementation of our proposed system architecture enabling runtime reconfiguration of component-based systems. Our "controlled runtime redeployment" comprises an extension of hot deployment and dynamic reloading, complemented by allowing for structural change

description: The Mekong Delta faces major land and water challenges. Agriculture production in the downstream areas is currently constrained by salinity intrusion in the dry season. Climate change will most likely increase salinity concentration levels in the dry season due to a combination of higher sea level and lower upstream river flows. Adapting to increased salinity may involve changing cropping patterns, constructing new water infrastructure or abandoning land. We analyze the economics of adapting agriculture to increased salinity in the coastal districts of Long An province. Results suggest that productivity losses can be alleviated by shifting to high value and more salt-resistant crops. We also find that the optimal timing for investment in water infrastructure depends on the rate of increase in salinity levels and that there is a tradeoff between protecting upstream areas versus areas that are closer to the sea.

Witnessing untitled
Creators: name: Harker, Christopher Graham
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis marks my encounter with Vancouver artist Jayce Salloum's untitled project. The untitled project is a series of three video tapes, untitled part 1: everything and nothing presents a conversation with Soha Bechara, a prominent figure in the Lebanese Resistance to the Israeli occupation of Lebanon. Part 2: beauty and the east, traces a journey Jayce made through the Balkans. Part 3b: as if (beauty never ends...) combines footage from the 1982 Israeli sanctioned, Phalangist massacre at Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps with a refugee's story of his return to the site of his former home in Palestine. The different parts also combine together to form the untitled installation. In thinking through this work, I draw upon the figure of the witness as outlined by Giorgio Agamben in Remnants of Auschwitz to examine the manner in which subjectivities are enrolled in performances of witnessing, and the difference particular geographies make to these processes. Witnessing also brings into play a specific ethics of representation, which I trace through our encounter with Lebanon, the Balkans and Palestine when watching untitled. This in turn leads to a close examination of the ways in which untitled works with and challenges sensationalized and Orientalist representations of these places. Finally, I think explicitly about the political importance of Salloum's work and the micropolitical spatial practices that it engenders.

description: This paper examines the health effects of a fiscal food policy based on a combination of fat taxes and thin subsidies. The fat tax is based on the saturated fat content of food items while the thin subsidy is applied to select fruit and vegetable items. The policy is designed to be revenue neutral so the subsidy exactly offsets the revenue from the fat tax. A model of food demand is estimated using Bayesian methods that accounts for censoring and infrequency of purchase (the problem of unit values is also discussed). The estimated demand elasticities are used to compute nutrient elasticities which demonstrate how consumption of specific nutrients changes based on price changes in particular foods from the fiscal policy. Results show that although the fat tax decreases saturated fat intake, consumption of other important nutrients is also decreased, which may lead to negative health outcomes.

description: We construct a linear filter optimised for detecting dark-matter halos in weak-lensing data. The filter assumes a mean radial profile of the halo shear pattern and modifies that shape by the noise power spectrum. Aiming at separating dark-matter halos from spurious peaks caused by large-scale structure lensing, we model the noise as being composed of weak lensing by large-scale structures and Poisson noise from random galaxy positions and intrinsic ellipticities. Optimal filtering against the noise requires the optimal filter scale to be smaller than typical halo sizes. Although a perfect separation of halos from spurious large-scale structure peaks is strictly impossible, we use numerical simulations to demonstrate that our filter produces substantially more sensitive, reliable and stable results than the conventionally used aperture-mass statistic.

Hungary for America : interpreting the Hungarian encounter with American consumer culture through three narrative films
Creators: name: Macdonald, Agnes
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Through the analysis of three non-mainstream narrative films, this study examines the impact of 'Americanization' on the contemporary Hungarian imagination and experience. Gothâr's film Time Stands Still represents a vision of America in socialist Hungary, Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise suggests a bridge between desire and reality in the Hungarian experience of the "American Dream" and the "American Way of Life," and Incze's I ♥ Budapest depicts a material and ideological realization of American culture in present day Hungary. This paper also intends to show how Hungary's active acceptance of capitalism has assured the flux and flow of American commodity culture along with its perceived worth. As America exports its culture worldwide, it manufactures desires in its materialistic representations and manifests those desires through the unmistakably American emblematic icons. Through an analysis grounded in contemporary cultural theoretical concepts, this study aims to explore the 'Americanization' thesis by looking at these iconic symbols of American consumer culture and how they are interpreted in these films. Film semiotics and subversive readings of the selected scenes provide the methodological framework of the study and help me locate my personal experiences with America. An engagement with some of the concepts of American consumer culture through these films, using Hungary as an illustrative case, furthers theories about global 'Americanization' and seeks to call for a radical critique of its worldwide effects and its impact on particular societies.

description: A field, which mediates entanglement between two quantum systems, must be of quantum nature. Attempts to witness this way quantumlike features of the gravitational field with tabletop experiments are actively studied recently, in particular by considering to look at two masses in a superposition in two locations, each in one interferometer. Entanglement intervention is probed when the interferometers are put side by side. If the masses interact only via Newtonian attraction, and still some degree of entanglement is found, than the gravitational field must be quantum like, or at least non-classical. The masses considered are mesoscopic, 10-14 Kg to 10-12 Kg, and in one proposal Mach-Zehnder interferometry is considered. Liquid He4 is superfluid below 2.17 K, and shows macroscopic quantum behaviour, in particular matter interferometry, as in the Superfluid He Quantum Inteference Device - SHeQUID. With its Josephson junctions as slits, the SHeQUID parallels a Mach-Zehnder. In this case the matter quantities involved are macroscopic, 10-8 Kg. We propose and analize the feasibility of a scheme on the lines of the above, where the matter field is given by superfluid He4, and the Mach-Zehnder's are two SHeQUID, put side by side. We find that the proposed experiment is feasible, using only well demonstrated methods and technologies, with no need to extensions beyond the current frontiers.

description: Excerpts from the report: The individual cooperatives provided the information presented in this Handbook and authorized its publication. A "regional association" in this report refers to one that wholesales supplies to local retail cooperatives, or one that directly retails supplies to farmers over an area comprising a part of a State, an entire State, or several States. In either case, the regional may manufacture some of the supplies it distributes. A "major" regional association in this report in all but two instances refers to one handling more than $10 million worth of supplies annually. Part I of this Handbook gives detailed information on each of 22 major regional cooperatives handling supplies in the United States for their fiscal years ended in 1962 and 1963. The associations appear in this report in the order of their total wholesale supply business, or retail business where all sales were at that level, for fiscal 1963. There was wide variation among them in forms of organization, methods of operation, and accounting and reporting practices. However, information presented on sales, net margins, facilities, and financial condition is quite comparable. Part II shows the value of supply business, net margins on supplies, and supply facilities used by two predominantly regional marketing cooperatives. Part III consolidates the detailed information on the group of 22 associations for 1962 and 1963.

description: We analyze the dynamics of entanglement due to decoherence in a system of two identical fermions with spin $3/2$ interacting with a global bosonic environment. We resort to an appropriate measure of the so-called fermionic entanglement to quantify the fermionic correlations, and compare its dynamics with that of a pair of distinguishable qubits immersed in the same environment. According to the system's initial state, three types of qualitatively different dynamics are identified: i) \textit{invariant regime}, corresponding to initial states that belong to a decoherence free subspace (DFS), which maintain invariant their entanglement and coherence throughout the evolution; ii) \textit{exponential decay}, corresponding to initial states orthogonal to the DFS, and evolve towards states whose entanglement and coherence decrease exponentially; iii) \textit{entanglement sudden death}, corresponding to initial states that have some overlap with the DFS and exhibit a richer dynamics leading, in particular, to the sudden death of the fermionic entanglement, while the coherence decays exponentially. Our analysis offers insights into the dynamics of entanglement in open systems of identical particles, into its comparison with the distinguishable-party case, and into the existence of decoherence free subspaces and entanglement sudden death in indistinguishable-fermion systems.

description: Within the two-band model of superconductivity, we study the dependence of the critical temperature Tc and of the isotope exponent alpha in the proximity to an electronic topological transition (ETT). The ETT is associated with a 3D-2D crossover of the Fermi surface of one of the two bands: the sigma subband of the diborides. Our results agree with the observed dependence of Tc on Mg content in A_{1-x}Mg_xB_2 (A=Al or Sc), where an enhancement of Tc can be interpreted as due to the proximity to a "shape resonance". Moreover we have calculated a possible variation of the isotope effect on the superconducting critical temperature by tuning the chemical potential.

description: This research locates a series of risks or hazards within a framework characterised by the level of control respondents believe they have over the risks, and the level of worry the risks prompt. It does this for a set of both food and non-food risks. The means by which this is done is novel, and differs from past risk perception analyses in that it questions people directly regarding their relative assessments of the levels of control and worry over the risks presented. The cognitive burden associated with people ranking and scaling items in large sets is notoriously heavy, so this study uses an elicitation method designed to make the process intuitive and cognitively manageable for respondents. The substantive analysis of the risk perceptions has four main foci concerning the relative assessment of (i) novel as opposed to more familiar risks (e.g. swine flu vs. heart attack), (ii) food risks as opposed to non-food risks, (iii) perceived levels of control over the risks versus how worrying the risks are considered to be, (iv) differences in the risk perceptions across social groups, as in this paper we analyse the relative assessments of farmers and consumers with a particular orientation on E. coli.

description: This paper explores the demand for improved safety and quality for meat products among consumers in two regions using a discrete choice experiment methodology. The study takes account of preferences from consumers across Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland. The features explored in the choice experiment include food safety, traceability, animal health and welfare, region of origin and price. The results suggest a large difference between willingness to pay and implicit ranking of attributes across regions. Meat products that come from ‘Ireland’ are most highly demanded among the features for Irish consumers, whereas consumers based in Great Britain value enhanced testing and animal health and welfare standards highest. Furthermore, a high correlation exists, in both regions, between respondents perception of the risk associated with consuming the meat products and the price premium they are willing to pay for the enhanced features

description: Information and communication technologies are moving towards a new stage where applications will be dynamically deployed, uninstalled, updated and (re)configured. Several approaches have been followed with the goal of creating a fully automated and context-aware deployment system. Ideally, this system should be capable of handling the dynamics of this new situation, without losing sight of other factors, such as performance, security, availability or scalability. We will take some of the technologies that follow the principles of Service Oriented Architectures, SOA, as a paradigm of dynamic environments. SOA promote the breaking down of applications into sets of loosely coupled elements, called services. Services can be dynamically bound, deployed, reconfigured, uninstalled and updated. First of all, we will try to offer a broad view on the specific deployment issues that arise in these environments. Later on, we will present our approach to the problem. One of the essential points that has to be tackled to develop an automated deployment engine will be to have enough information to carry out tasks without human intervention. In the article we will focus on the format and contents of deployment descriptors. Additionally, we will go into the details of the deployment framework for OSGi enabled gateways that has been developed by our research group. Finally we will give some concluding remarks and some ideas for future work
Vector speckle grid: instantaneous incoherent speckle grid for high-precision astrometry and photometry in high-contrast imaging

description: Photometric and astrometric monitoring of directly imaged exoplanets will deliver unique insights into their rotational periods, the distribution of cloud structures, weather, and orbital parameters. As the host star is occulted by the coronagraph, a speckle grid (SG) is introduced to serve as astrometric and photometric reference. Speckle grids are implemented as diffractive pupil-plane optics that generate artificial speckles at known location and brightness. Their performance is limited by the underlying speckle halo caused by evolving uncorrected wavefront errors. The speckle halo will interfere with the coherent SGs, affecting their photometric and astrometric precision. Our aim is to show that by imposing opposite amplitude or phase modulation on the opposite polarization states, a SG can be instantaneously incoherent with the underlying halo, greatly increasing the precision. We refer to these as vector speckle grids (VSGs). We derive analytically the mechanism by which the incoherency arises and explore the performance gain in idealised simulations under various atmospheric conditions. We show that the VSG is completely incoherent for unpolarized light and that the fundamental limiting factor is the cross-talk between the speckles in the grid. In simulation, we find that for short-exposure images the VSG reaches a $\sim$0.3-0.8\% photometric error and $\sim$$3-10\cdot10^{-3}$ $λ/D$ astrometric error, which is a performance increase of a factor $\sim$20 and $\sim$5, respectively. Furthermore, we outline how VSGs could be implemented using liquid-crystal technology to impose the geometric phase on the circular polarization states. The VSG is a promising new method for generating a photometric and astrometric reference SG that has a greatly increased astrometric and photometric precision.
