Year: 2012

description: The UBC farm currently uses two types of technology to irrigate their crops. The problem posed by the farm was to recommend a type of irrigation system for their facility. Two main solutions appeared which could potentially be suitable for use at the farm. Both a drip tape irrigation system and a traditional overhead sprinkler system had pros and cons, and through the use of a triple bottom line assessment an investigation was conducted to see which technology is a more sustainable choice for the farm. This report covers the environmental, social and economic aspects of each technology. With regards to the environmental impact of each technology the aluminum irrigation was found to be a more environmentally friendly solution for UBC. Although drip tape is perceived to be more environmentally sustainable, there are few places to recycle it in Metro Vancouver, and its lifespan is shorter than the aluminum alternative. Moreover, the aluminum system is made from a readily available resource, which is easily recyclable in many areas throughout Metro Vancouver. With respect to the social impacts, drip tape is regarded to be a better choice. The UBC farm prides itself on raising awareness about sustainability in the community. By having the drip tape technology at their farm the community could be exposed to different irrigation solutions, and it would raise awareness on different types of suitable solutions which are available. When analysing the economic aspect of each technology, the results varied. For larger farms over 20Ha, it appeared that aluminum irrigation the better solution; however, for smaller farms under 20Ha, drip tape is a more profitable enterprise. When considering the small size of the UBC farm it is clear drip tape is the more economically viable solution. When considering the triple bottom line assessment, it is clear that drip tape is the most suitable solution for the UBC farm irrigation problem. Although it may not be the most environmentally friendly choice, the social awareness it would raise, as well as the economic benefits makes it the better choice.

description: Lunar laser ranging (LLR) is used to conduct high-precision measurements of ranges between an observatory on Earth and a laser retro-reflector on the lunar surface. Over the years, LLR has benefited from a number of improvements both in observing technology and data modeling, which led to the current accuracy of post-fit residuals of ~2 cm. Today LLR is a primary technique to study the dynamics of the Earth-Moon system and is especially important for gravitational physics, geodesy and studies of the lunar interior. LLR is used to perform high-accuracy tests of the equivalence principle, to search for a time-variation in the gravitational constant, and to test predictions of various alternative theories of gravity. On the geodesy front, LLR contributes to the determination of Earth orientation parameters, such as nutation, precession (including relativistic precession), polar motion, and UT1, i.e. especially to the long-term variation of these effects. LLR contributes to the realization of both the terrestrial and selenocentric reference frames. The realization of a dynamically defined inertial reference frame, in contrast to the kinematically realized frame of VLBI, offers new possibilities for mutual cross-checking and confirmation. Finally, LLR also investigates the processes related to the Moon's interior dynamics. Here, we review the LLR technique focusing on its impact on relativity and give an outlook to further applications, e.g. in geodesy. We present results of our dedicated studies to investigate the sensitivity of LLR data with respect to the relativistic quantities. We discuss the current observational situation and the level of LLR modeling implemented to date. We also address improvements needed to fully utilize the scientific potential of LLR.

description: A Green Economy can be considered as an alternative vision for growth and development; one that can generate growth and improvement in people’s lives in ways consistent with sustainable development. To drive this vision, the role of finance cannot be over-emphasized since no tangible investment can be done without funds. This paper therefore assesses the impact of financing and marketing on agricultural productivity through the development of green economy in Nigeria. Using secondary data from Central Bank of Nigeria; food and agricultural organization covering 1970-2010 and employing co-integration, error correction and Granger Causality test techniques, the study found a positive and significant long run relationship between agricultural productivity (ARGDP), commercial bank credit to agriculture (CAG), total government expenditure on agriculture (TEA), consumer price index (CPI) and agriculture population (APOP) as well as a uni-Granger causality from TEA to ARGDP, CAG to TEA, CPI to APOP and TEA to APOP. It is recommended that concerted effort by all stakeholders are required to steer green agriculture on a sustainable production and productivity pathway through mobilization of funds and provision of an environmentally friendly alternative for Nigeria’s transition from a mono economy to a diversified green economy for effective and efficient use of resources by present and future generation for sustainable development.

description: In drug discovery, knowledge of the graph structure of chemical compounds is essential. Many thousands of scientific articles in chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences have investigated chemical compounds, but in cases the details of the structure of these chemical compounds is published only as an images. A tool to analyze these images automatically and convert them into a chemical graph structure would be useful for many applications, such drug discovery. A few such tools are available and they are mostly derived from optical character recognition. However, our evaluation of the performance of those tools reveals that they make often mistakes in detecting the correct bond multiplicity and stereochemical information. In addition, errors sometimes even lead to missing atoms in the resulting graph. In our work, we address these issues by developing a compound recognition method based on machine learning. More specifically, we develop a deep neural network model for optical compound recognition. The deep learning solution presented here consists of a segmentation model, followed by three classification models that predict atom locations, bonds and charges. Furthermore, this model not only predicts the graph structure of the molecule but also produces all information necessary to relate each component of the resulting graph to the source image. This solution is scalable and could rapidly process thousands of images. Finally, we compare empirically the proposed method to a well-established tool and observe significant error reductions.

Illuminating interfaces between phases of a U(1) x U(1) gauge theory

description: We study reflection and transmission of light at the interface between different phases of a U(1) x U(1) gauge theory. On each side of the interface, one can choose a basis so that one generator is free (allowing propagation of light), and the orthogonal one may be free, Higgsed, or confined. However, the basis on one side will in general be rotated relative to the basis on the other by some angle alpha. We calculate reflection and transmission coefficients for both polarizations of light and all 8 types of boundary, for arbitrary alpha. We find that an observer measuring the behavior of light beams at the boundary would be able to distinguish 4 different types of boundary, and we show how the remaining ambiguity arises from the principle of complementarity (indistinguishability of confined and Higgs phases) which leaves observables invariant under a global electric/magnetic duality transformation. We also explain the seemingly paradoxical behavior of Higgs/Higgs and confined/confined boundaries, and clarify some previous arguments that confinement must involve magnetic monopole condensation.

description: This paper analyses the role which barriers to acha production in the form of high transaction costs have on farmers’ production efficiency. Particular attention is paid to the effects of transaction cost on acha farmers’ output and total production cost. An empirical application is presented on a sample of 200 households randomly selected from Kaduna State. The stochastic translog production and cost functions were used to analyse the data. The results revealed that although acha farmers are small scale producers with an average land productivity of 498kg/ha, they are 81% technically efficient, 85% allocative efficient and 76% economically efficient. The results also confirm the contribution of transaction costs to inefficiency and their role in orienting households towards making decision to produce as they affect output, increase cost of production and hence, increase inefficiency in production. Although these transaction costs effects are not large, they do significantly affect (P<0.05) the output and total cost of production. Policy makers therefore need to focus on providing institutional support to producers which is necessary for technical and managerial skills and for reducing cost inefficiencies in production.

REMARQUES
 Les deux spécimens ci-dessus sont attribuables à la sous-espèce nominale Columba m. maculosa Temminck, 1813.
 Bonaparte (1854c) précise que les spécimens qu’il décrit sous le nom de Crossophthalmus reichenbachi appartiennent au Muséum de Paris et ont été rapportés par d’Orbigny, l’adulte ayant été capturé en 1831 en Amérique méridionale et il ajoute la mention «Patagonia». Le juvénile, pour lequel il ne donne pas de date de capture, proviendrait du Paraguay.
La date de 1831, le fait que ces spécimens appartiennent au MNHN et qu’ils ont été rapportés par d’Orbigny donnent à penser que nous avons affaire aux spécimens types de Bonaparte. Les localités indiquées sous les socles et dans le texte de Bonaparte ne se correspondent pas tout à fait, mais les frontières ont beaucoup varié dans cette région du monde et la Patagonie désignait à l’époque une zone beaucoup plus vaste. Bien que la mention « type » ne soit pas inscrite sous les socles, nous pouvons penser que ces deux spécimens sont bien les types de Bonaparte.
Bonaparte (1854e: 1110) cite également cette espèce.

description: The effect of pulse train noise on the quantum resonance peaks of the Atom Optics Kicked Rotor is investigated experimentally. Quantum resonance peaks in the late time mean energy of the atoms are found to be surprisingly robust against all levels of noise applied to the kicking amplitude, whilst even small levels of noise on the kicking period lead to their destruction. The robustness to amplitude noise of the resonance peak and of the fall--off in mean energy to either side of this peak are explained in terms of the occurence of stable, $ε$--classical dynamics [S. Wimberger, I. Guarneri, and S. Fishman, \textit{Nonlin.} \textbf{16}, 1381 (2003)] around each quantum resonance.

 Elliot (1878) précise: «I described this species from a specimen in the Paris Museum stated to have been brought by Hombron & Jacquinot.» La collection rapportée par Hombron et Jacquinot a été déposée au MNHN dès le retour de l’expédition en 1840, et la collection privée de Bonaparte ne comportait pas d’oiseaux appartenant au MNHN. Ces deux spécimens ne sont donc certainement pas ceux examinés par Elliot pour sa description originale de Ptilopus pictiventris.

description: Using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian, the rare B_s --> γ\ell^+ \ell^- decays are studied by taking into account the polarization of the photon. The total and the differential branching ratios for these decays, when photon is in the positive and negative helicity states, are presented. Dependence of these observables on the new Wilson coefficients are studied. It is also investigated the sensitivity of "photon polarization asymmetry" in B_s --> γ\ell^+ \ell^- decays to the new Wilson coefficients. It has been shown that all these physical observables are very sensitive to the existence of new physics beyond SM and their experimental measurements can give valuable information about it.

description: With the future construction of the new Student Union Building (SUB), Alma Mater Society (AMS) intends to use this opportunity to contribute to the campus sustainability goal by researching and utilizing various green and sustainable ideas. One of these ideas involves the installation of Green Vending machines within the SUB that contain a variety of green reusable products. The exact brand and type of reusable products is still undecided so our goal is to research a variety of these and propose a worthy candidate. The purpose of this report is to report those findings on a sample of reusable containers and recommend the ideal reusable container to place into these Green Vending machines. Our sample of reusable containers consists of the Ziploc plastic container, the Snapware Glasslock glass container and the LunchBots steel container. These brands were picked by popularity and cost, and the materials were picked by popularity among other reusable products. Our report analyzes the life cycle of each of these products in terms of their economic, environmental and social impacts. Some assumptions were made on the exact facilities and methods used to extract, manufacture and recycle these products. A student survey was conducted to find out the preferred price for these reusable containers and emails were sent to communicate with our local recycling facility to understand how our products may be recycled. The price of purchasing and recycling the Ziploc containers is relatively cheap compared to the other products but they negatively impact the environment and society with their nonbiodegradable nature, and their toxic pollution generated from their production and recycling processes. The Snapware containers cost too much according to the survey and it costs nearly twice as much to recycle. Its influence on the environment and society are not much better because they are non-biodegradable and generate silica pollution. Although the LunchBots largely affects the environment in a negative way, they also contribute to the growing steel market and employ a great deal of people. To conclude, the Ziploc containers should be chosen for the Green Vending machines because they are cheaper in terms of purchase price and recycling cost.

description: We present the discovery of PSO J030947.49+271757.31, the radio brightest (23.7 mJy at 1.4 GHz) active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z>6.0. It was selected by cross-matching the NRAO VLA Sky Survey and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System PS1 databases and its high-z nature was confirmed by a dedicated spectroscopic observation at the Large Binocular Telescope. A pointed Neil Gehrels $Swift$ Observatory XRT observation allowed us to measure a flux of $\sim$3.4$\times$10$^{-14}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ in the [0.5-10] keV energy band, which also makes this object the X-ray brightest AGN ever observed at z>6.0. Its flat radio spectrum ($α_{νr}$<0.5), very high radio loudness (R>10$^3$), and strong X-ray emission, compared to the optical, support the hypothesis of the blazar nature of this source. %i.e. a radio-loud (RL) AGN with the relativistic jet pointed toward us. Assuming that this is the only blazar at this redshift in the surveyed area of sky, we derive a space density of blazars at z$\sim$6 and with M$_{1450 \mboxÅ}$ < -25.1 of 5.5$^{+11.2}_{-4.6}$$\times$10$^{-3}$ Gpc$^{-3}$. From this number, and assuming a reasonable value of the bulk velocity of the jet ($Γ$=10), we can also infer a space density of the entire radio-loud AGN population at z$\sim$6 with the same optical/UV absolute magnitude of 1.10$^{+2.53}_{-0.91}$ Gpc$^{-3}$. Larger samples of blazars will be necessary to better constrain these estimates.

description: Water bath calorimetry was used to demonstrate one more peculiar phenomenon associated with a certain class of mixed gas plasmas termed resonant transfer, or RT plasmas. Specifically, He/H2 (10%) (500 mTorr), Ar/H2 (10%) (500 mTorr), and H2O(g) (500 and 200 mTorr) plasmas generated with an Evenson microwave cavity consistently yielded on the order of 50% more heat than non RT plasma (controls) such as He, Kr, Kr/H2 (10%), under identical conditions of gas flow, pressure, and microwave operating conditions. The excess power density of RT plasmas was of the order 10 W / cm-3. In earlier studies with these same RT plasmas it was demonstrated that other unusual features were present including dramatic broadening of the hydrogen Balmer series lines, unique vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lines, and in the case of water plasmas, population inversion of the hydrogen excited states. Both the current results and the earlier results are completely consistent with the existence of a hitherto unknown exothermic chemical reaction, such as that predicted by Mills, occurring in RT plasmas.

La collection privée de Vieillot n’était pas au MNHN du vivant de son possesseur, décédé en 1831. De plus, il était en fort mauvais termes avec Temminck (Mearns &Mearns 1998). Il n’y a donc aucune raison pour que Temminck ait étudié ce spécimen.

description: We study cosmological models involving a single real scalar field that has an equation of state parameter which evolves with cosmic time. We highlight some common parametrizations for the equation of state as a function of redshift in the context of twinlike theories. The procedure is used to introduce different models that have the same acceleration parameter, with the very same energy densities and pressure in flat spacetime.

Induced four fold anisotropy and bias in compensated NiFe/FeMn double layers

description: A vector spin model is used to show how frustrations within a multisublattice antiferromagnet such as FeMn can lead to four-fold magnetic anisotropies acting on an exchange coupled ferromagnetic film. Possibilities for the existence of exchange bias are examined and shown to exist for the case of weak chemical disorder at the interface in an otherwise perfect structure. A sensitive dependence on interlayer exchange is found for anisotropies acting on the ferromagnet through the exchange coupling, and we show that a wide range of anisotropies can appear even for a perfect crystalline structure with an ideally flat interface.

Localization and traces in open-closed topological Landau-Ginzburg models
Creators: name: Herbst, Manfred
name: Lazaroiu, C. I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We reconsider the issue of localization in open-closed B-twisted Landau-Ginzburg models with arbitrary Calabi-Yau target. Through careful analsysis of zero-mode reduction, we show that the closed model allows for a one-parameter family of localization pictures, which generalize the standard residue representation. The parameter $λ$ which indexes these pictures measures the area of worldsheets with $S^2$ topology, with the residue representation obtained in the limit of small area. In the boundary sector, we find a double family of such pictures, depending on parameters $λ$ and $μ$ which measure the area and boundary length of worldsheets with disk topology. We show that setting $μ=0$ and varying $λ$ interpolates between the localization picture of the B-model with a noncompact target space and a certain residue representation proposed recently. This gives a complete derivation of the boundary residue formula, starting from the explicit construction of the boundary coupling. We also show that the various localization pictures are related by a semigroup of homotopy equivalences.

description: Motivated by recent advances in the application of effective field theory techniques to light nuclei we revisit the problem of electron-deuteron scattering in these approaches. By sidestepping problems with the description of electron-nucleon scattering data in effective field theories, we show that the effective theory expansion for deuteron physics converges well over a wide range of momentum transfers. The resultant description of the physics of the two-nucleon system is good up to virtual photon momenta of order 700 MeV.

description: We present a proposal for the experimental observation of energy-time entanglement of quasi-particles in mesoscopic physics. This type of entanglement arises whenever correlated particles are produced at the same time and this time is uncertain in the sense of quantum uncertainty, as has been largely used in photonics. We discuss its feasibility for electron-hole pairs. In particular, we argue that the recently fabricated 2DEG-2DHG junctions, irradiated with a continuous laser, behave as "entanglers" for energy-time entanglement.

REMARQUES
 Dans son Conspectus generum avium, Bonaparte indique que les spécimens d’après lesquels il décrit Chamaepelia godina se trouvent au MNHN, qu’ils ont été donnés par d’Orbigny en 1834 et qu’ils proviennent d’Amérique méridionale (Brésil et Bolivie).
 Dans l’Ancien catalogue ces spécimens sont tous deux désignés par l’appellation Talpacotia Godina Bp. La mention « type » est indiquée pour le spécimen C.G. 2005-2540 et la mention Majos (pour Mojos ville située en Bolivie) est indiquée pour le spécimen C.G. 2005-2541. Ainsi, l’ensemble de ces indiquations donne à penser que ces spécimens sont bien les types de Chamaepelia godina Bonaparte, 1854.
Bonaparte (1855a: 22) cite aussi cette espèce et précise: «du nord-ouest de l’Amérique méridionale et peut-être même de l’Amérique centrale ».
 Ces spécimens rapportés par d’Orbigny, dont la mission en Amérique du Sud se déroula de 1826 à 1834 (Taquet 2002), ne peuvent être ceux examinés par Temminck pour la description de son taxon Columbina talpacoti Temminck, 1809. Cette indication, portée uniquement sur le socle du spécimen C.G. 2005-2540, est donc une erreur.

AMS sustainability project : stormwater management in the UBC Botanical Garden : phase II
Creators: name: Shen, Lingfeng
name: Wong, Chung
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This report discusses the practice of stormwater monitoring in the UBC Botanical Garden since August 2012, in response to the suggestions provided by the Phase I of the stormwater management project finished in May, 2012. The scope of the Phase II project is to obtain the on-site flow rates of the continuously flowing West Creek and Rock Creek, and to design a retention solution for stormwater reuse in the irrigation. A flow rate tracking system was established by setting up weirs in West Creek and Rock Creek. A set of pressure sensitive HOBO dataloggers were placed at the weirs, and the related parameters (absolute barometric pressure, atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc) were regularly collected by site visits. The data collection started from August 2012 represented the characteristics of the Botanical Garden area in both dry and rainy season. Upon the hydrograph results, the baseflow results of both creeks were studied and compared with the actual monthly accumulative irrigation demand. A supply-demand model was established, and several scenarios have been considered in terms of percentage of capture and capture locations. The baseflow at Weir #1 in West Creek is 0.8L/s. The total capture of the accumulated flow can satisfy the irrigation demand with additional potable water from July to October. On the other hand, the baseflow at Weir #2 in the merge of West Creek and Rock Creek is 2.4L/s. With a capture as low as 43 percent, it meets a total substitution of potable water irrigation for the whole year. The comparison concludes that the relatively ideal solution is to install retention device along the Old Marine Drive close to Weir #2 with a length of 220m and a volume of 150m3. This retention storage provides a safety factor of 1.21 and is recommended to be constructed by modular matrix tanks. Limitations in this project include data consistency and data availability. Incidents such as the weir foundation failure due to heavy rainfall occurred in October created discontinuity in data. Data correlation and interpolation were applied to achieve consistency, but inaccuracy can be introduced. The sediments carried from upstream also offset the actual water depth, leading to inaccurate data. The irrigation demand data were only available for less than one year, so this was not yet a good reference of the average annual irrigation demand.
