description: Economic analysts within government agencies as well as outside government has played a noticeable and increasing role in formulating U.S. climate policy. However, that role has remained limited; in particular, economic analysis has largely been ignored and occasionally even derided in the context of setting targets for GHG control. This paper explores this uneasy relationship between analysis and policy during several U.S. administrations. Some of these problems stem from the incompleteness of the economic analyses themselves, and economic analysts sometimes have not been the most effective advocates for their own findings. However, I think one of the biggest obstacles to more effective use of economic analysis in climate policymaking has been a basic lack of desire among many policymakers for the fruits of the analyses. This reluctance has been especially marked when the economic analysis clashes with strongly held preconceptions - from either side- about what climate policy ought to be.

description: The effect of rotation on the Frequency Ratio Method (Moya et al. 2005) is examined. Its applicability to observed frequencies of rotating gamma Doradus stars is discussed taking into account the following aspects: the use of a perturbative approach to compute adiabatic oscillation frequencies; the effect of rotation on the observational Brunt-Vaisala integral determination and finally, the problem of disentangling multiplet-like structures from frequency patterns due to the period spacing expected for high-order gravity modes in asymptotic regime. This analysis reveals that the FRM produces reliable results for objects with rotational velocities up to 70 kms/s, for which the FRM intrinsic error increases one order of magnitude with respect to the typical FRM errors given in Moya et al. (2005). Our computations suggest that, given the spherical degree "l" identification, the FRM may be discriminating for m = 0 modes, in the sense that the method avoids any misinterpretation induced by the presence of rotationally split multiplet-like structures, which reinforces the robustness of the method. However, if "l" is unknown, such discrimination is not ensured. In order to check the FRM in presence of slow-moderate rotation, we have applied it to the three observed frequencies of the slowly rotating (vsini = 29 km/s) gamma Doradus star HD48501.

description: Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are "magnetars", a small class of slowly spinning neutron stars with extreme surface magnetic fields, ~10^15 gauss. On 2004 December 27, a giant flare was detected from the magnetar SGR 1806-20, the third such event ever recorded. This burst of energy was detected by a variety of instruments and even caused an ionospheric disturbance in the Earth's upper atmosphere recorded around the globe. Here we report the detection of a fading radio afterglow produced by this outburst, with a luminosity 500 times larger than the only other detection of a similar source. From day 6 to day 19 after the flare from SGR 1806-20, a resolved, linearly polarized, radio nebula was seen, expanding at approximately a quarter the speed of light. To create this nebula, at least 4x10^43 ergs of energy must have been emitted by the giant flare in the form of magnetic fields and relativistic particles. The combination of spatially resolved structure and rapid time evolution allows a study in unprecedented detail of a nearby analog to supernovae and gamma-ray bursts.

description: We study evolution equations describing jet propagation through quark--gluon plasma (QGP). In particular we investigate the contribution of momentum transfer during branching and find that such a contribution is sizeable. Furthermore, we study various approximations, such as the Gaussian approximation and the diffusive approximation to the jet-broadening term. We notice that in order to reproduce the BDIM equation (without the momentum transfer in the branching) the diffusive approximation requires a very large value of the jet-quenching parameter $\hat q$.

description: In many developing countries the informal sector, comprised of low-technology unlicensed micro-enterprises, is a major source of pollution. Environmental management in this sector is exceptionally challenging. Though clean technologies offer a means of mitigating the problem, to our knowledge there has been no rigorous empirical research on why informal (or even small-scale) firms do and do not adopt them. As a first step towards filling this gap, this paper presents the results of an econometric analysis of the diffusion of propane among informal 'traditional' brickmakers in Cd. Juárez, Mexico--a leading source of air pollution owing to their reliance on cheap, highly polluting fuels such as used tires and scrap wood. The two key policy implications of our analysis are that: (1) it is possible to successfully promote the adoption of a clean technology by intensely competitive informal firms even when the new technology significantly raises variable costs, and (2) community pressure applied by competing firms and private-sector local organizations can generate incentives for adoption.

description: In generic curved spacetimes, the unavailability of a natural choice of vacuum state introduces a serious ambiguity in the Fock quantization of fields. In this review, we study the case of fermions described by a Dirac field in several cosmological spacetimes, and present recent results about well-motivated criteria that ensure the uniqueness in the selection of a vacuum up to unitary transformations. These criteria are based on two requirements. First, the invariance of the vacuum under the symmetries of the Dirac equations in the considered spacetime. Second, the unitary implementability of the Heisenberg dynamics of the annihilation and creation operators when the curved spacetime is treated as a fixed background. This last requirement not only permits the uniqueness of the Fock quantization but, remarkably, it also determines an essentially unique splitting between the phase space variables assigned to the background and the fermionic annihilation and creation variables. We first consider Dirac fields in cosmological spacetimes of 2+1 dimensions and then discuss the more relevant case of 3+1 dimensions. We use this analysis to investigate the hybrid loop quantization of a flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker background cosmology coupled to a perturbative Dirac field. Among the Fock quantizations for the fermionic perturbations allowed by our criteria, we further restrict the choice of vacuum by demanding a finite fermionic backreaction and, moreover, by diagonalizing the fermionic contribution to the total Hamiltonian in the asymptotic limit of large wave numbers of the Dirac modes. Finally, we argue in support of the uniquess of the vacuum state selected by the extension of this diagonalization condition beyond the ultraviolet regime, proving that it picks out the standard Poincaré and Bunch-Davies vacua for fixed flat and de Sitter background spacetimes, respectively.

Irritating flirtations. Reflections on the relationship between history and sociology since the 1970s
Creators: name: Welskopp, Thomas
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2010

description: The article shows that whereas a close interdisciplinary cooperation between history and sociology at Bielefeld University had already been envisioned by its founding fathers, this has remained not much more than a program for the first thirty years. Only recently, after both disciplines had had flirtations with other adjacent fields of study, they have been showing a renewed interest in each other. Institutions like the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology, designed for a joint graduate training program, have taken their collaboration onto an unprecedented theoretical, methodological, and organizational level. The article argues that sociology may profit from history’s self-reflective turn during its clash with postmodernism. History’s declared belief in an enlightened constructivism and its insistence both in the temporality of all social practices and in the historicity of all concepts could spark a new consciousness within sociology in regard to its theoretical and methodological foundations. History, in turn, may learn from sociology in terms of the multiple patterns of change which are discussed here. Although the range of “sociologies” which will be able and willing to cooperate with history may be restricted, there are some approaches – like New Institutionalism – that do share important assumptions with history about the inner workings of organizations, the nature of human actors, and development over time. Their interests seem to converge in the general question of how to appropriately conceptualize and explain social dynamics and change.

description: The paper uses OLS and Logit analyses of household survey data to identify and compare determinants of the health and nutritional status of Malian children living in three distinct agricultural production zones (cotton, millet/sorghum, and irrigated rice). These preliminary results suggest that improvements in health center coverage (e.g., reducing the average distance to a health center from 20 to 10 kilometers) and more diversity in complementary foods after six months of age (two or more different foods during a 24 hour period) have the potential to significantly improve standardized height for age scores. Other factors of importance are mother's incomes, prenatal visits, and parents' standardized heights (reflecting either genetic traits or generations of poor nutrition). Recommendations for reducing Mali's high prevalence of malnutrition include the need to raise awareness of the problem among rural populations. Because rural health workers, local administrators, and parents do not recognize malnutrition as a problem, newly empowered decentralized governments will need some external assistance to get the issue on local agendas and identify potential solutions.

description: We present a novel framework for inferring regulatory and sequence-level information from gene co-expression networks. The key idea of our methodology is the systematic integration of network inference and network topological analysis approaches for uncovering biological insights. We determine the gene co-expression network of Bacillus subtilis using Affymetrix GeneChip time series data and show how the inferred network topology can be linked to sequence-level information hard-wired in the organism's genome. We propose a systematic way for determining the correlation threshold at which two genes are assessed to be co-expressed by using the clustering coefficient and we expand the scope of the gene co-expression network by proposing the slope ratio metric as a means for incorporating directionality on the edges. We show through specific examples for B. subtilis that by incorporating expression level information in addition to the temporal expression patterns, we can uncover sequence-level biological insights. In particular, we are able to identify a number of cases where (i) the co-expressed genes are part of a single transcriptional unit or operon and (ii) the inferred directionality arises due to the presence of intra-operon transcription termination sites.

Connecting Low scale Seesaw for Neutrino Mass to Inelastic sub-GeV Dark Matter with Abelian Gauge Symmetry

description: Motivated by the recently reported excess of electron recoil events by the XENON1T experiment, we propose low scale seesaw scenarios for light neutrino masses within $U(1)_X$ gauge extension of the standard model that also predicts stable as well as long lived dark sector particles. The new fields necessary for seesaw realisation as well as dark matter are charged under the $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry in an anomaly free way. A singlet scalar field which effectively gives rise to lepton number violation and hence Majorana light neutrino masses either at tree or radiative level, also splits the dark matter field into two quasi-degenerate states. While sub-eV neutrino mass and non-zero dark matter mass splitting are related in this way, the phenomenology of sub-GeV scale inelastic dark matter can be very rich if the mass splitting is of keV scale. We show that for suitable parameter space, both the components with keV splitting can contribute to total dark matter density of the present universe, while opening up the possibility of the heavier dark matter candidate to undergo down-scattering with electrons. We check the parameter space of the model for both fermion and scalar inelastic dark matter candidates which can give rise to the XENON1T excess while being consistent with other phenomenological bounds. We also discuss the general scenario where mass splitting~$Δm$ between the two dark matter components can be larger, effectively giving rise to a single component dark matter scenario.

The interdependence of work norms and sanctioning behavior. An example of the rotation system  at an international chain hotel
Creators: name: Zaytseva, Anna
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2011

description: In this article I deal with two basic ideas which I will try to link in the course of my analysis. First, I call into question whether sanctions can be regarded as an integral characteristic of norms. Here, I will turn to theoretical insights of a contemporary sociological discussion and to empirical evidence collected in my study. Second, my chosen approach is to consider norms a system of interdependent, partly competitive norms. This will be demonstrated by an example of the introduction of the rotation principle of work organization at an international chain hotel. My study examines the preconditions for the constellation of contradictory norms, i.e. when existing norms are inconsistent with new operational norms. In turn, the limits of sanctioning as an integral characteristic of norms are illustrated by referring to the assumption of interdependence, and in this way I establish the link between both aspects of my paper. Based on theoretical arguments, I try to find empirical evidence supporting that, in the same setting, following one norm leads to the infraction of another. Therefore, within a system of competitive norms, deviant behavior is inevitable. To understand sanctioning behavior in the context of interdependent norms, it is important to have in mind that both managers and employees in work organizations may impose sanctions. For example, employees demonstrate sanctioning behavior when they resist following contradictory norms.

Psychological preparedness for breast cancer surgery
Creators: name: Cerna, Zuzana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study explores the facilitation of preparation for breast cancer surgery. The aim of the study was to develop a reasonably comprehensive scheme of categories that would describe, from the perspective of women with breast cancer, what facilitates or hinders positive psychological preparation for breast cancer surgery and, therefore, identify and conceptually organize a broad array of these experiences. The research method involved interviews with 30 women who underwent an operation for breast cancer 6-12 months prior to their interviews. The Critical Incident Technique was used to collect and analyze the data. The women were interviewed and asked to recall incidents that were helpful or hindering in their preparation for a breast cancer surgery. A total of 362 incidents from 30 participants were collected, analyzed, and placed into categories. These incidents were organized into twenty-three categories: Receiving Educational Materials and/or Information; Obtaining an Explanation of Medical Procedures or Problems; Discussing Problems with Loved One; Getting Support and Encouragement from Others; Being Accompanied to a Medical Appointment; Helping Others; Engaging Oneself in Physical and Creative Activities; Developing Helpful Habits; Taking Action on Realizing Own Mortality; Experiencing Physical Closeness; Experiencing Deep Emotional Closeness; Realizing Shift in Relationship with Loved Ones; Healing Through Spiritual Experience and Visualization; Changing Perspective Through Comparison; Using Inspiring, Comforting Material; Getting Alternative Treatment; Establishing Professional Communication; Waiting for Medical Results; Sharing Experiences in Support Groups and Counseling; Perceiving Professional Manners; Experiencing Positive Medical Settings; Getting a Recommendation/Approval of Medical Personnel, Questioning Competence of Medical Care or Personnel. The data also included information about participants' decision-making process regarding the type of operation for breast cancer and some observations on them were drawn. Several procedures were used to examine validity, soundness and trustworthiness of the categories and subcategories. Three narrative accounts were analyzed in an effort to provide meaning and action to these categories. The findings of this study may serve as a basis for better understanding of the process of preparation for breast cancer surgery. Through further examination of the categories and narratives some suggestions and recommendation for research and practice were made.

description: The category of small covariant functors from simplicial sets to simplicial sets supports the projective model structure. In this paper we construct various localizations of the projective model structure and also give a variant for functors from simplicial sets to spectra. We apply these model categories in the study of calculus of functors, namely for a classification of polynomial and homogeneous functors. In the $n$-homogeneous model structure, the $n$-th derivative is a Quillen functor to the category of spectra with $Σ_n$-action. After taking into account only finitary functors -- which may be done in two different ways -- the above Quillen map becomes a Quillen equivalence. This improves the classification of finitary homogeneous functors by T. G. Goodwillie.

Stability and threat to the order of the church. Some thoughts on the personalization of the church in Late Antiquity
Creators: name: Kötter, Jan-Markus
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2011

description: The structure of the church in Late Antiquity was subject to a constant process of personalization: Church order was produced by the interaction of a small group of persons, namely the leading bishops. Their interaction worked by the mutual invocation of normative authorities, often past bishops. Thus, the church created a highly personalized frame of reference for any positioning taken by its current bishops. By this personalization of positions, the church order gained stability: Every bishop was bound to the positions of his own predecessors, thus limiting his choice of ecclesiastic positions and making him more reliable. As a result, the tracing-back of positions to personal authorities was a prerequisite for any communion within the church, as it reduced the complexity of theological debate and could cover dissent, as there was no need of specifying the contents of seemingly mutually invoked positions. On the other hand, the stability of order was also challenged by the personalization of positions: The personalized frame of ecclesiastical reference could also help to express and perpetuate disruptions. In covering minor dissents, any church order was just a personally transmitted illusion of concord, permanently threatened by disruption. In case of such a disruption, the obligation of bishops to the positions of their predecessors made a mutual rapprochement less likely, as it stabilized theological prejudices. Thus, the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of personalization of ecclesiastical positions cannot be separated.

description: For the existence of a branched covering Sigma~ --> Sigma between closed surfaces there are easy necessary conditions in terms of chi(Sigma~), chi(Sigma), orientability, the total degree, and the local degrees at the branching points. A classical problem dating back to Hurwitz asks whether these conditions are also sufficient. Thanks to the work of many authors, the problem remains open only when Sigma is the sphere, in which case exceptions to existence are known to occur. In this paper we describe new infinite series of exceptions, in particular previously unknown exceptions with Sigma~ not the sphere and with more than three branching points. All our series come with systematic explanations, based on several different techniques (including dessins d'enfants and decomposability) that we exploit to attack the problem, besides Hurwitz's classical technique based on permutations. Using decomposability we also establish an easy existence result.

A cultural history of elections in the USA and Germany. Meanings and functions of elections in the 19th century
Creators: name: Richter, Hedwig
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2011

description: Why did elections become so important in the 19th century, not only in terms of determining who would enter office, but also in terms of including more and more people, and therefore their increasing significance in people’s lives? What functions did governments ascribe to elections, and what motives did those in power have when they introduced elections? What importance did people give to the vote?

By help of a cultural approach, Hedwig Richter argues that the extension of the franchise can be understood better when elections are seen not only as an instrument of power for the masses but also as an instrument of discipline wielded by those in power. Elections as a performative act can be read, that is, not only as a demonstration of power by the people, but also as a subjugation of the people to authority, a subjugation which was regarded as ›modern‹ and appropriate to the time.

On the margins of urban society? Inequalities and the differentiation of social space in a metropolis of the modern age – St. Petersburg 1850-1914
Creators: name: Petersen, Hans-Christian
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2011

description: Our images of the socially deprived quarters of the world are usually very similar. They are the result of a ›safe distance‹ perspective. What we see, are largely dull and frequently grey or black tableaus. This is also true for Russia – according to the common belief, the world of the very poor of Russian society consisted (and consists) of people resorting to alcohol, violence and excessive religiousness. No further questions are asked, people on the social peripheries appear as a ›dark‹, anonymous collective body.

This essay is about a current research project. Its aim is to shed more light on the peripheries of the cities. Being a European metropolis of the modern age, St. Petersburg was chosen as the centre of the investigations which deal with the social question of urban space by connecting structural factors with individual actions. It will be examined in how far the socially underprivileged of society did not just fall victim to social circumstances, but instead fought against their position on the margins of society by interpreting and adopting social space by means of individual and joint action.  This analysis is based on the concept of ›social space‹. In this way it is possible to connect traditional analyses of social inequalities with more recent cultural-historical approaches and to write an urban history ›from below‹, a history emphasizing the socio-economic dimension of human actions, again without just applying collective categories.

Institutionalization of dissatisfaction. Towards the dichotomy of »order and disorder«
Creators: name: Galanova, Olga
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2011

description: Dissatisfaction will be conceptualized in this paper as a medium that makes it possible to relate the concepts of ›order‹ and ›disorder‹ towards each other in a way which overcomes their definition as ›simple dichotomies‹. The description of communicative forms and institutionalized functions of the expressions of dissatisfaction in everyday life allows for the analysis of situations when ›disorder‹ in structures of the social order becomes an object of critical reflection for individuals participating in different types of social relationships. For a sociological analysis these forms can be used to elucidate problems, tensions and disturbances of the social order. It will be shown that the communication of dissatisfaction allows us for an empirical analysis  - from a micro-sociological point of view  - of the relationship between processes of structuring and of changing the social order.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: Implicit in most applications of the expected utility (EU) model is the assumption that only the decision maker's own income matters. Moreover, studies that estimate risk preferences typically measure how individuals respond to changes in the level and likelihood of having their own income altered (Young). The focus on own income in the EU model is consistent with the assumption most often applied in the neoclassical economic paradigm; namely, that the identity of participants in an economic exchange does not affect the outcome (Telser and Higinbotham).

description: We compare magnetic field extrapolations from a photospheric magnetogram with the observationally inferred structure of magnetic loops in a newly developed active region. This is the first time that the reconstructed 3D-topology of the magnetic field is available to test the extrapolations. We compare the observations with potential fields, linear force-free fields and non-linear force-free fields. This comparison reveals that a potential field extrapolation is not suitable for a reconstruction of the magnetic field in this young, developing active region. The inclusion of field-line-parallel electric currents, the so called force-free approach, gives much better results. Furthermore, a non-linear force-free computation reproduces the observations better than the linear force-free approximation, although no free parameters are available in the former case.

description: We study quantum quenches of helical liquids with spin-flip inelastic scattering. Counterpropagating charge packets in helical edges can be created by an ultrashort electric pulse applied across a 2D topological insulator. Localized "hot spots" that form due to scattering enable two types of strongly nonlinear wave dynamics. First, propagating packets develop self-focusing shock fronts. Second, colliding packets with opposite charge can exhibit near-perfect retroreflection, despite strong dissipation. This leads to frequency doubling that could be detected experimentally from emitted terahertz radiation.

description: We introduce a new domain wall operator that represents a full (real) Moebius transformation of a given non-chiral Dirac kernel. Shamir's and Borici's domain wall fermions are special cases of this new class. By tuning the parameters of the Moebius operator and by introducing a new Red/Black preconditioning, we are able to reduce the computational effort substantially.

title: Narratives of Female Saudi Adolescents
title: Intersectionality and English Language Learning
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Albalawi, Maram
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2029

description: The current climate of change in Saudi Arabia has called into question the
 favoured position English has long held as a second language for Saudis.
 For today’s Saudi youth, this issue is highly pertinent as there are
 questions about how they navigate these changes and the role English might
 play in their lives and imagined futures. This thesis focuses on female
 adolescents, who will be particularly affected by recent reforms aimed at
 enhancing the role of women in the Saudi economy. Drawing on Norton’s
 (2013) concept of identity and employing the lens of intersectionality,
 this thesis explores the identities eight female adolescents constructed
 through narratives. Focusing on the socioeconomic dimensions of identity
 construction, it offers insights into the intersections between language,
 gender and other intra-categorical differences associated with
 socioeconomic status that may impact identities and access to education.

 The participants were studying at two schools (public and private) in a
 socially and economically diverse regional city of Saudi Arabia and were
 selected based on demographic information derived from a questionnaire.
 Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations and
 learners’ journals. Multi-level positioning analysis (Bamberg, 2010) and
 intersectional analysis (McCall, 2005) revealed a matrix of socially
 complex realities in the female adolescents' learning experiences.

 The analyses showed how small stories served as a performative resource
 whereby the narrators navigated their sense of self, presenting distance
 and resistance, exercising agency and recreating realities. Family
 provided a context in which power relationships shaped and reshaped their
 identities and English, as symbolic capital, was part of defining these
 relationships and determining the adolescents' societal status. The
 intersectional analysis revealed multiple identity dimensions intersecting
 with the main narrator identity of “being an English learner”, which
 enhanced the adolescents’ privileged position or contributed to their
 marginalised position, thus helping or hindering their learning
 experience.

description: Based on the duality between open-string theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds and Chern-Simons theory on three manifolds, M Marino and C Vafa conjectured a formula of one-partition Hodge integrals in term of invariants of the unknot (hep-th/0108064). Many Hodge integral identities, including the lambda_g conjecture and the ELSV formula, can be obtained by taking limits of the Marino-Vafa formula. Motivated by the Marino-Vafa formula and formula of Gromov-Witten invariants of local toric Calabi-Yau threefolds predicted by physicists, J Zhou conjectured a formula of two-partition Hodge integrals in terms of invariants of the Hopf link (math.AG/0310282) and used it to justify physicists' predictions (math.AG/0310283). In this expository article, we describe proofs and applications of these two formulae of Hodge integrals based on joint works of K Liu, J Zhou and the author (math.AG/0306257, math.AG/0306434, math.AG/0308015, math.AG/0310272). This is an expansion of the author's talk of the same title at the BIRS workshop: "The Interaction of Finite Type and Gromov-Witten Invariants", November 15--20, 2003.

description: Are the rural poor excluded from the market opportunities created by the rise of supermarkets in developing countries? We analyzed the farm-level impact of supermarket growth in Kenya's produce sub-sector which is dominated by smallholder producers. Two main findings emerged. First, the existence of a threshold capital vector at the entrance of the supermarket channel does hinder the entry of small, rainfed farms. Instead, the main supply response has come from a new group of medium-sized, fast-growing farms managed by well-educated farmers. Second, the heavy reliance on and higher wages paid to hired farm workers on supermarket-channel farms help to alleviate poverty for rural households with little land.
A new ionisation network and radiation transport module in PLUTO

description: We introduce a new general-purpose time-dependent ionisation network (IN) and a radiation transport (RT) module in the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) code PLUTO. Our ionisation network is reliable for temperatures ranging from 5e3 to 3e8 K, and includes all ionisation states of H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S and Fe making it suitable for studying a variety of astrophysical scenarios. Radiation loss for each ion-electron pair is calculated using CLOUDY-17 data on-the-fly. Photo-ionisation and charge exchange are the chemical heating mechanisms. The IN is fully coupled to the radiation transport module over a very large range of opacities at different frequencies. The RT module employs a method of short characteristics assuming spherical symmetry. The radiation module requires the assumption of spherical symmetry, while the IN is compatible with full 3D. We also include a simple prescription for dust opacity, grain destruction, and the dust contribution to radiation pressure. We present numerical tests to show the reliability and limitations of the new modules. We also present a post-processing tool to calculate projected column densities and emission spectra.

description: We analyze the dynamics of a Brownian gas in contact with a heat bath in which large temperature fluctuations occur. There are two distinct time scales present, one describes the decay of the fluctuations in the temperature and the other one is associated with the establishment of local equilibrium. Although the gas has reached local equilibrium, there exist large fluctuations in an intensive parameter (temperature) which break the thermodynamic equilibrium with the heat bath. Thus the decay of the fluctuations in the intensive parameter is larger than the characteristic time for the establishment of local equilibrium. We show that the dynamics of such large and intensive fluctuations may be described by adopting a nonequilibrium thermodynamics approach with an adequate formulation of local equilibrium. A coarsening procedure is then used to contract the space of mesoscopic variables needed to describe the dynamics of the gas and the extensive character of the description is lost. This procedure allows us to derive an effective Maxwell-Boltzmann factor (EMBF) for the Brownian gas, as has been recently proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we use this local equilibrium distribution and an entropy functional to derive a nonequilibrium probability distribution and a hydrodynamic description for the Brownian gas which contains fluctuating transport coefficients. The ensuing description is nonextensive and our analysis shows that the coarse-graining procedure is responsible for the nonextensivity property.

description: Farm types were assigned using the 1992 Census of Agriculture's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) definitions. Basically, any farm with 50 percent or more of value of farm sales from one item becomes a farm of that type. Fruit farms have 50 percent or more of value of combined sales from cherries, apples, and other fruits. This report is a summary of the financial and production records kept by fruit farmers enrolled in the Telfarm/MicroTel record program through Michigan State University Extension.
