description: Information for agricultural and rural communities is a crucial tool in the fight against poverty in order to achieve food security. This paper presents the result of pilot fishnet initiative (FNI) of the Ilaje local government area of Ondo State. A model information network that provided data on fish production techniques and methodologies was established with the aim of networking all the fishers in the administrative area. Information on marketing and fish distribution were disseminated through traditional village meetings and modern communication devices such as TVs, leaflets, radio, posters etc under the roof of chairmen of fishermen cooperative groups. The level of effectiveness was measured for a period of 6 months. The results showed a high coverage and effectiveness. The FNI is recommended for the improvement of fisherfolk livelihoods in other regions.

description: The scanning metallic tip of a scanning force microscope was coupled capacitively to electrons confined in a lithographically defined gate-tunable quantum dot at a temperature of 300 mK. Single electrons were made to hop on or off the dot by moving the tip or by changing the tip bias voltage owing to the Coulomb-blockade effect. Spatial images of conductance resonances map the interaction potential between the tip and individual electronic quantum dot states. Under certain conditions this interaction is found to contain a tip-voltage induced and a tip-voltage independent contribution.

description: The objective of this study was to estimate the efficiency of arable crop farming in Ijebu Division of Ogun State with Ijebu North East and Odogbolu Local Governments selected as the study area. To achieve this objective, primary data were collected with the use of well structured questionnaires from 120 respondents. Of these, 90 were usable for the analyses. Frontier production function was used in analysing the data. The results show that 56 male and 34 female respondents were interviewed, out of which 73 per cent had formal education and 53 per cent had less than 10 years of farming experience. The computed technical efficiency index shows that maize had the highest number of variables with high technical efficiency index. Based on the fact that the seed input was positively significant for all three crops, a policy implication stemming from this is that government should improve on the availability of these inputs in order to increase the production level of arable crop farmers in the study area.

description: This study is based on micro level data on urban household food consumption and expenditure collected between 1999 and 2000 in three Nigerian cities. The LA/AIDS model, which allows the inclusion of demographic variables, was applied to a subset of the data on meat and meat products namely beef, mutton/goat, chicken, fish, eggs, and milk. Results indicate that urban demand for meat products will continue to increase as incomes improve, suggesting potential market opportunities especially for poultry. Intra-household demand patterns clearly indicate the importance of beef for children but contrary to expectations, there is a reduced demand for milk as the number of infants in urban households increase. The observed high income elasticity of demand for poultry products may have a positive impact on the derived demand for maize, a primary product in poultry feed. Encouraging poultry production will help restore the battered agricultural sector of Nigeria, increase farmer income, reduce unemployment, and conserve foreign exchange earnings.

description: Spin-polarized electron photoemission has been studied for GaAs/GaAs$_{1-x}$P$_x$ strained superlattice cathodes grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. The superlattice structural parameters are systematically varied to optimize the photoemission characteristics. The heavy-hole and light-hole transitions are reproducibly observed in quantum efficiency spectra, enabling direct measurement of the band energies and the energy splitting. Electron-spin polarization as high as 86% with over 1% quantum efficiency has been observed.

description: The principal goal of the NASA Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) and ESA Darwin mission concepts is to directly detect and characterize extrasolar terrestrial (Earth-sized) planets. This first generation of instruments is expected to provide disk-averaged spectra with modest spectral resolution and signal-to-noise. Here we use a spatially and spectrally resolved model of the planet Mars to study the detectability of a planet's surface and atmospheric properties from disk-averaged spectra as a function of spectral resolution and wavelength range, for both the proposed visible coronograph (TPF-C) and mid-infrared interferometer (TPF-I/Darwin) architectures. At the core of our model is a spectrum-resolving (line-by-line) atmospheric/surface radiative transfer model which uses observational data as input to generate a database of spatially-resolved synthetic spectra for a range of illumination conditions (phase angles) and viewing geometries. Results presented here include disk averaged synthetic spectra, light-curves and the spectral variability at visible + mid-IR wavelengths for Mars as a function of viewing angle, illumination, season. We also considered the appearance of an increasingly frozen Mars and simulated its detection versus real Mars with TPF-C and TPF-I as a function of spectral resolving power, signal-to-noise, integration time.

Lower mantle diamonds from the Rio Soriso (Juina, Brazil)
Creators: name: Hayman, Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The morphology, colour, fluorescence (FL), cathodoluminescence (CL), nitrogen content and aggregation state, internal morphology and mineral inclusion chemistry have been studied for sixty-nine alluvial diamonds recovered from the Rio Soriso, Juina area, Brazil. The majority of the Rio Soriso diamonds are colourless, but grey, yellow, brown and non-uniform colours are also observed. Diamonds fluoresce and cathodoluminesce a variety of shades and intensities of blue, turquoise and green. There is a correlation between FL and body colour, with most brown diamonds fluorescing turquoise or green. In general, diamonds with brighter CL have higher nitrogen concentrations. Diamond crystals are generally well resorbed, fragmented and plastically deformed, all of which contributed to the obscuration of the primary crystal habit. Most diamonds are classified as either tetrahexahedroids or dodecahedroids, but crystals of undetermined morphology are abundant. CL examination of polished diamond surfaces and plates indicate that some crystals developed through intermittent episodes of octahedral growth and resorption. Infrared spectroscopic studies show that the diamonds contain trace amounts of both nitrogen (0-541 ppm, averaging 72 ppm) and hydrogen. There is strong positive correlation between nitrogen and hydrogen concentrations. Nitrogen in most diamonds is fully aggregated as B centres (type IaB, 54%), but there is also a large proportion of nitrogen free stones (type Ha, 38%). A small population of diamonds contain nitrogen in the form of A centres (type IaA, 1.5% and IaAB, 7%), which is indicative o f residence in the upper mantle. Nitrogen contents typically decrease from crystal core to rim. Mineral inclusions recovered and analysed from 30 diamonds include: ferropericlase, MgSi-perovskite, CaSi-perovskite, 'olivine', tetragonal-almandine-pyrope-phase, pyrrhotite, magnetite, pyrope-almandine-grossular garnet and perovskite. Based on the mineralogy of diamond inclusions and diamond morphology, CL, FL, nitrogen content and aggregation state, the Rio Soriso suite was subdivided into six paragenetic groups which formed in the lower mantle, transition zone and upper mantle. These paragenetic groups are: 1) ultramafic lower mantle diamonds, 2) ultramafic diamonds sourced from the boundary between the upper and lower mantle, 3) mafic diamonds sourced from 580- 660 km, 4) mafic diamonds sourced from any sub-lithospheric depths, 5) eclogitic diamonds sourced from the upper mantle, and 6) peridotitic diamonds sourced from the upper mantle. The preferred explanation for the sampling o f such a large depth interval within the mantle (∼200 to >660 km) is that the diamonds were entrained in a plume that originated at the core-mantle boundary.

description: Resonant Beam Charging (RBC) is the Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology, which can provide high-power, long-distance, mobile, and safe wireless charging for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Supporting multiple IoT devices charging simultaneously is a significant feature of the RBC system. To optimize the multi-user charging performance, the transmitting power should be scheduled for charging all IoT devices simultaneously. In order to keep all IoT devices working as long as possible for fairness, we propose the First Access First Charge (FAFC) scheduling algorithm. Then, we formulate the scheduling parameters quantitatively for algorithm implementation. Finally, we analyze the performance of FAFC scheduling algorithm considering the impacts of the receiver number, the transmitting power and the charging time. Based on the analysis, we summarize the methods of improving the WPT performance for multiple IoT devices, which include limiting the receiver number, increasing the transmitting power, prolonging the charging time and improving the single-user's charging efficiency. The FAFC scheduling algorithm design and analysis provide a fair WPT solution for the multi-user RBC system.

description: The study examined various traditional communication media (TCM) used by rural farmers as sources of information to improve their production in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State. Data were drawn from a sample of one hundred and twenty (120) randomly selected farmers using a structure interview schedule. The obtained data were described with frequency and analyzed using chi-square test. The results indicated that majority (62.8%) of farmers commonly received innovations through TCM such as discussion groups, market places, agriculture-based festivals, visits, cooperative society, traditional meetings, community elders, village squares, and relations. and found them effective. A significant relationship was established between farmers’ perceptions of effectiveness TCM and effectiveness of TCM .The variables that had significant relationship with TCM was socio-cultural lifestyles of farmers (χ2 = 49.9, α =0.05) and farmers’ level of education (χ2=95.58, α =0.05) Based on the findings, it is pertinent to direct deliberate efforts towards the integration of traditional media of communication into the innovation delivery system for rural farmers.

description: Payments for environmental services (PES) especially of the forests are considered a potential instrument to mitigate environment and development challenges faced in many tropical countries. The success of any PES scheme is highly dependent on reliable economic data and monetary values of the services provided by the forest trees and vegetation. Hence the relevance of this study which adopted the contingent valuation method (CVM) to derive a monetary valuation for the environmental service functions of forest trees in University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB) urban environment. Data were obtained from a multistage random sampling of 48 out of the 75 registered students’ Corporate Organisation made of Academic, Religion and Socio-cultural organisations and clubs. The results show that 77% of the respondents were willing to pay (WTP) various amounts ranging from N5 – N1000 monthly. One hundred naira (N100.00) was the modal value having recorded 38% response and closely followed by N200.00 with 30% response. The overall mean WTP value resulted into an aggregate estimate value of UNAAB urban forest trees environmental value of UNAAB urban forest trees environmental services which is N7,800 (US$1 = N140). The semi-log model of regression equation revealed respondents’ income, sources of income and years of existence as the socio-economic variables that significantly influenced WTP. It can be concluded from this study that the sampled respondent valued the environmental services of the forest especially the shade provided for them during their meetings to the extent that they are willing to contribute towards the continue existence of trees and by implication the forests in the University environment. Payment for environmental services either in form of voluntary donations or direct contribution towards forest tree plantings can be an incentive to the providers of the services be it private or government.

description: Hubble Space Telescope images of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A reveal a far larger population of outlying, high-velocity knots of ejecta with a broader range of chemical properties than previously suspected. We identify three main classes of outer ejecta: 1) Knots dominated by [N II] 6548,6583 emission; 2) Knots dominated by oxygen emission lines especially [O II] 7319,7330; and 3) Knots with emission line strengths similar to the [S II] strong FMK ejecta commonly seen in the main emission shell. The discovery of a significant population of O-rich ejecta situated in between the suspected N-rich outer photospheric layer and S-rich FMK-like ejecta suggests that the Cas A progenitor's chemical layers were not completely disrupted by the supernova explosion outside of the remnant's NE and SW high velocity `jet' regions. In addition, we find the majority of O-rich outer ejecta at projected locations out beyond (v = 6500 - 9000 km/s) the remnant's fastest moving Fe-rich X-ray emission material (6000 km/s) seen in Chandra and XMM data along the eastern limb. This suggests that penetration of Fe-rich material up through the S and Si-rich mantle did not extend past the progenitor's N or O-rich outer layers for at least this section of the remnant.

description: Within agricultural technologies the environment consciousness, environment saving approaches have become increasingly significant in recent years. The main objective of this trend is to find the proper balance within the human-plant-animal environment. In the last few years, rural policies also encouraged the sustainable way of production in agriculture. Organic farming is one of the opportunities of introducing these theoretical approaches into practise. The paper evaluates the results of a survey made of ecological animal keeping farms. It was found that producers were mainly motivated by their commitments to environmentalism. Considering prospects for the future – taking also aspects of profitability into account – they are optimistic about forthcoming development of market outlets, but they still focus on foreign markets. This trend apart domestic markets need to be urgently developed. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Az utóbbi időkben jelentős fejlődés tapasztalható a mezőgazdasági termelésen belül a környezettudatos, környezetkímélő technológiák vonatkozásában, melyek legfőbb célja, hogy a környezeti adottságok figyelembevételével megtalálják a megfelelő egyensúlyt az ember-növény-állat kapcsolatban. Az elmúlt időszak agrárpolitikai törekvései is nagyban hozzájárultak a mezőgazdasági termelés fenntartható módon történő műveléséhez. Ezen elméleti megközelítések egyik gyakorlati megvalósítási módja az ökológiai gazdálkodás. A tanulmány az állattartó ökológiai gazdaságok körében végzett kérdőíves felmérés eredményeit taglalja. Megállapítást nyert, hogy a termelők alapvető motiváltságát a környezetvédelmi szempontok iránti elkötelezettség mozgatja. A jövőre vonatkozó kilátásokat tekintve – figyelembe véve a jövedelmezőségi szempontokat – bizalommal tekintenek az elkövetkezendő időszak piaci lehető-ségeinek alakulására, de továbbra is a külpiacot helyezik előtérbe. A termelők helyzetbe hozása mellett a hazai piac fejlesztése kell, hogy prioritást élvezzen.

We find that the ideal probe to extract information on the gluon Sivers function is the transverse SSA of prompt photon production $p p^{\uparrow} \to γX$, at large $p_T$. The following related processes, $p p^{\uparrow} \to γ+ jet + X$, $p p^{\uparrow} \to γ^* + X \to μ^+ μ^- + X$ and $\bar{p} p^{\uparrow} \to γ+ X$ are also briefly discussed.

description: With the upcoming generation of telescopes, cluster scale strong gravitational lenses will act as an increasingly relevant probe of cosmology and dark matter. The better resolved data produced by current and future facilities requires faster and more efficient lens modeling software. Consequently, we present Lenstool-HPC, a strong gravitational lens modeling and map generation tool based on High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques and the renowned Lenstool software. We also showcase the HPC concepts needed for astronomers to increase computation speed through massively parallel execution on supercomputers. Lenstool-HPC was developed using lens modelling algorithms with high amounts of parallelism. Each algorithm was implemented as a highly optimised CPU, GPU and Hybrid CPU-GPU version. The software was deployed and tested on the Piz Daint cluster of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS). Lenstool-HPC perfectly parallel lens map generation and derivative computation achieves a factor 30 speed-up using only 1 GPUs compared to Lenstool. Lenstool-HPC hybrid Lens-model fit generation tested at Hubble Space Telescope precision is scalable up to 200 CPU-GPU nodes and is faster than Lenstool using only 4 CPU-GPU nodes.

Nonlinear complex principal component analysis : applications to tropical Pacific wind velocity anomalies
Creators: name: Rattan, Sanjay S.P.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Principal component analysis (PCA) has been generalized to complex principal component analysis (CPCA), which has been widely applied to complex-valued data, 2-D vector fields, and complexified real data through the Hilbert transform. Nonlinear PCA (NLPCA) can also be performed using auto-associative feed-forward neural network (NN) models, which allows the extraction of nonlinear features in the dataset. This thesis introduces a nonlinear complex PCA (NLCPCA) method, which allows nonlinear feature extraction and dimension reduction in complexvalued datasets. The NLCPCA uses the architecture of the NLPCA network, but with complex variables (including complex weight and bias parameters). Applications of NLCPCA to two test problems confirm its ability to extract nonlinear features missed by the CPCA. With complexified real data, the NLCPCA performs well as nonlinear. Hilbert PCA. The NLCPCA is also applied to the tropical Pacific wind velocity data to study the nonlinear seasonal, interannual, decadal and decadal variability of El Niño and La Niña. The nonlinear mode of NLCPCA for the analysis of data at all these frequencies is found to be explaining more variance and features simultaneously than the equivalent linear approach of CPCA with the same dimensionality. For the interannual variability the NLCPCA mode 1 is able to characterise the whole ENSO phenomenon in a single mode whereas it took CPCA to do the same with at least 2 modes. The variances explained by NLCPCA (17.4%) is certainly higher than CPCA mode 1 (15.3%). The data set with the seasonal variability is found to show a nonlinear mode that explains the full seasonal cycle. The CPCA, in contrast, has the winter/summer stationary anomaly pattterns manifested in the first mode whereas the second mode is the signal for the stationary spring/fall anomaly patterns. The interdecadal background wind velocity anomaly patterns are also found to be more pronounced in the NLCPCA output. The NLCPCA mode 1 analysis of pre- and post-interdecadal regime shift shows that the El Niño structure and amplitude have changes while there has been no significant differences in the La Niña.

description: We present an iterative algorithm that finds the optimal measurement for extracting the accessible information in any quantum communication scenario. The maximization is achieved by a steepest-ascent approach toward the extremal point, following the gradient uphill in sufficiently small steps. We apply it to a simple ad-hoc example, as well as to a problem with a bearing on the security of a tomographic protocol for quantum key distribution.

description: Reinforced elastic sheets surround us in daily life, from concrete shell buildings to biological structures such as the arthropod exoskeleton or the venation network of dicotyledonous plant leaves. Natural structures are often highly optimized through evolution and natural selection, leading to the biologically and practically relevant problem of understanding and applying the principles of their design. Inspired by the hierarchically organized scaffolding networks found in plant leaves, here we model networks of bending beams that capture the discrete and non-uniform nature of natural materials. Using the principle of maximal rigidity under natural resource constraints, we show that optimal discrete beam networks reproduce the structural features of real leaf venation. Thus, in addition to its ability to efficiently transport water and nutrients, the venation network also optimizes leaf rigidity using the same hierarchical reticulated network topology. We study the phase space of optimal mechanical networks, providing concrete guidelines for the construction of elastic structures. We implement these natural design rules by fabricating efficient, biologically inspired metamaterials.

description: Having successfully explored the existing relations between the S-matrix and collision times in scattering reactions to study the conventional baryon and meson resonances, the method is now extended to the exotic sector. To be specific, the collision time in various partial waves of K+ N elastic scattering is evaluated using phase shifts extracted from the K+ N --> K+ N data as well as from model dependent T-matrix solutions. We find several pentaquark resonances including some low-lying ones around 1.5 to 1.6 GeV in the P_01, P_03 and D_03 partial waves of K+ N elastic scattering.

description: During the last two decades there has been a tremendous growth in the production of intensively farmed fish. This growth has been accompanied by a substantial reduction in prices. As this enhances the competitiveness of farmed fish, concerns are often raised with respect to the market impact of new aquaculture species. Of particular interest is the relationship to wild species in the output market as well as in the input market because of the demand for feed. In this paper we investigate what we know about market interactions based on two simple market models, where the difference between the two models is whether the competing product is wild-caught seafood or a traditionally produced product.
Photoionising feedback in spiral arm molecular clouds

description: We present simulations of a 500 pc$^2$ region, containing gas of mass 4 $\times$ 10$^6$ M$_\odot$, extracted from an entire spiral galaxy simulation, scaled up in resolution, including photoionising feedback from stars of mass > 18 M$_\odot$. Our region is evolved for 10 Myr and shows clustered star formation along the arm generating $\approx$ 5000 cluster sink particles $\approx$ 5% of which contain at least one of the $\approx$ 4000 stars of mass > 18 M$_\odot$. Photoionisation has a noticeable effect on the gas in the region, producing ionised cavities and leading to dense features at the edge of the HII regions. Compared to the no-feedback case, photoionisation produces a larger total mass of clouds and clumps, with around twice as many such objects, which are individually smaller and more broken up. After this we see a rapid decrease in the total mass in clouds and the number of clouds. Unlike studies of isolated clouds, our simulations follow the long range effects of ionisation, with some already-dense gas becoming compressed from multiple sides by neighbouring HII regions. This causes star formation that is both accelerated and partially displaced throughout the spiral arm with up to 30% of our cluster sink particle mass forming at distances > 5 pc from sites of sink formation in the absence of feedback. At later times, the star formation rate decreases to below that of the no-feedback case.

description: We study the Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE) induced by continuous partial measurement in the presence of short-correlated noise in the system Hamiltonian. We study the survival probability and the onset of the QZE as a function of the measurement strength, and find that, depending on the noise parameters, the quantum Zeno effect can be enhanced or suppressed by the noise in different regions of the parameter space. Notably, the conditions for the enhancement of the QZE are different when determined by the short-time or long-time behavior of the survival probability, or by the measurement strength marking the onset of the quantum Zeno regime.

description: An attempt is made to evaluate the competitiveness of the fisheries and aquaculture industries of some Mediterranean countries. Revealed Comparative Advantage indices of Italian, French, Greek, Portuguese and Spanish fish products are estimated, in order to gain new insights regarding the position of these products in the market of the European Union, in terms of competitiveness. In addition, this study sheds light on the evolution of competitiveness over the last decade. The estimated Comparative Advantage indices reveal that there is a wide range of competitiveness among fish products in Mediterranean countries. In addition, almost all countries alter their competitive ranking throughout the study period. Consequently, Mediterranean fisheries and aquaculture constitute a dynamic economic sector that can be easily affected by changed in the marketing environment.

description: Knowledge present in a domain is well expressed as relationships between corresponding concepts. For example, in zoology, animal species form complex hierarchies; in genomics, the different (parts of) molecules are organized in groups and subgroups based on their functions; plants, molecules, and astronomical objects all form complex taxonomies. Nevertheless, when applying supervised machine learning (ML) in such domains, we commonly reduce the complex and rich knowledge to a fixed set of labels, and induce a model shows good generalization performance with respect to these labels. The main reason for such a reductionist approach is the difficulty in eliciting the domain knowledge from the experts. Developing a label structure with sufficient fidelity and providing comprehensive multi-label annotation can be exceedingly labor-intensive in many real-world applications. In this paper, we provide a method for efficient hierarchical knowledge elicitation (HKE) from experts working with high-dimensional data such as images or videos. Our method is based on psychometric testing and active deep metric learning. The developed models embed the high-dimensional data in a metric space where distances are semantically meaningful, and the data can be organized in a hierarchical structure. We provide empirical evidence with a series of experiments on a synthetically generated dataset of simple shapes, and Cifar 10 and Fashion-MNIST benchmarks that our method is indeed successful in uncovering hierarchical structures.

description: We show that in quantum dots the physical quantities probed by local tunneling spectroscopies, namely the quasi-particle wavefunctions of interacting electrons, can considerably deviate from their single-particle counterparts as an effect of Coulomb correlation. From the exact solution of the few-particle Hamiltonian for prototype dots, we find that such deviations are crucial to predict wavefunction images at low electron densities or high magnetic fields.

Bell's inequalities with realistic noise for polarization-entangled photons

description: Contrary to the usual assumption that the experimental preparation of pure entangled states can be described by mixed states due to white noise, a more realistic description for polarization-entangled states produced by parametric down-conversion is that they are mixed states due to decoherence in a preferred polarization basis. This distinction between white and colored noise is crucial when we look for maximal violations of Bell's inequalities for two-qubit and two-qutrit entangled states. We find that violations of Bell's inequalities with realistic noise for polarization-entangled photons are extremely robust for colored noise, whereas this is not the case for white noise. In addition, we study the difference between white and colored noise for maximal violations of Bell's inequalities for three and four-qubit entangled states.
