description: Organic food consumption is increasing among United Arab Emirates (UAE) consumers in the last few years. This increase is due to high per capita income, more awareness on healthy food and the diverse population. Consumers are willing to pay higher prices for the certified organic food products. The objective of this paper is to examine consumers’ Willingness to Pay (WTP) for the organic food in UAE. Data was collected in UAE from 300 respondents. Regression model was used to identify major determinants of consumers WTP for the organic food. The results showed that majority of consumers responded positively when asked if they are willing to pay more for the organic food products. The age, nationality, education; household size and income were deciding factors for consumers to pay higher price for the organic food. These results will provide key information to organic food industry that will help to promote organic food markets in the UAE.

description: We have modeled the 2.6 - 3.7 um spectrum of the red semiregular variable R Doradus observed with the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The wavelength resolution of the observations varies between R = 2000 - 2500. We have calculated a synthetic spectrum using a hydrostatic model photosphere in spherical geometry. The agreement between the synthetic spectrum and the ISO observations is encouraging, especially in the wavelength region of 2.8 - 3.7 um, suggesting that a hydrostatic model photosphere is adequate for the calculation of synthetic spectra in the near infrared for this moderately varying red giant star. However, an additional absorption component is needed at 2.6- 2.8 um and this discrepancy is discussed. The spectral signatures are dominated by water vapour in the stellar photosphere, but several photospheric OH, CO, and SiO features are also present. The effective temperature and surface gravity derived for R Dor, based on the 2.6 - 3.7 um ISO spectrum and the modeling of it with a hydrostatic model photosphere, are 3000 +- 100 K and log g = 0 +- 1 (cgs), respectively. The spectral region observed is found to be temperature sensitive. The effective temperature given here is slightly higher than those reported in the literature. We also discuss possible reasons for this.

description: The United States is increasing its share in global production of olive oil along with other “New World” producers. Recently, the state of California, where most of the olive oil in the US is produced, approved new regulations governing the grades of olive oil, labeling, methods of testing and traceability standards. This research report evaluates the potential costs of compliance with the new regulations and analyzes their economic impact on marketing of olive oil. The results indicate that if the compliance costs are passed on to the consumer, it may result in the decline of olive oil sales by less than one percent
An XMM-Newton Observation of NGC 1399 Reveals Two Phases of Hot Gas and Super-Solar Abundances in the Central Regions

description: We present an initial analysis of a new XMM observation of NGC 1399, the central elliptical galaxy of the Fornax group. Spectral fitting of the spatially resolved spectral data of the EPIC MOS and pn CCDs reveals that a two-temperature model (2T) of the hot gas is favored over single-phase and cooling flow models within the central ~20 kpc. The preference for the 2T model applies whether or not the data are deprojected. The cooler component has a temperature (~0.9 keV) similar to the kinetic temperature of the stars while the hotter component has a temperature (~1.5 keV) characteristic of the virial temperature of a ~10^{13} M_sun halo. The two-phase model (and other multitemperature models) removes the ``Fe Bias'' within r < ~20 kpc and gives Z_Fe/Z_sun 1.5-2. At larger radii the iron abundance decreases until Z_Fe/Z_sun \~0.5 for r ~50 kpc. The Si abundance is super-solar (1.2-1.7 solar) within the central regions while Z_Si/Z_Fe ~0.8 over the entire region studied. These Fe and Si abundances imply that ~80% of the Fe mass within r ~50 kpc originates from Type Ia supernovae (SNIa). This SNIa fraction is similar to that inferred for the Sun and therefore suggests a stellar initial mass function similar to the Milky Way.

description: Directly non-profit-seeking CSR strategies can be indirectly profitable and sustainable provided their presence can be detected by other actors with sufficient reliability at sufficiently low costs. This creates a niche for implementing CSR procedures in ways that are compatible with shareholder approaches to responsible corporate governance. Though ethical norms of equal interpersonal respect for all stakeholders are appealing, spelling them out in concrete procedural terms renders them ethically less attractive than they appear in theory. If ethical ideals of equal respect for all stakeholders in CSR do not have the extreme implications laid out here where are the alternatives?

Macroprudential policies
Financial cycles
Credit Growth

description: This paper studies the effectiveness of micro- and macroprudential policy tools in the euro area. The established empirical literature on macroprudential policy generally considers panel estimations that suffer from two estimation biases, i.e., a selection bias and a time bias. We control for the former by a propensity score matching approach. Based on a logit model, we estimate the probability of a policy tightening for every country at each point in time. Matching procedures then find one or more matching partners for every tightening event with a similar likelihood of a tightening but no shift in the prudential policy stance. An iterative approach ensures that we offset the time bias, which exists if the estimation does not control for effects of pre- ceding and subsequent prudential policy changes. We find that the announcement of a prudential policy tightening reduces credit growth significantly by about 1% on average. We further differentiate between effects along three dimensions. First, we observe that lending is more affected when policymakers have not communicated the implementation of measures before. Second, the effects are more substantial when EU/EA institutions are behind changes in the prudential policy stance. Third, microprudential policy measures have a bigger impact than macroprudential policies.

description: The physics of strongly correlated electron systems is remarkably rich and complex with the interactions between electrons giving rise to a diverse range of physical phenomena including ferromagnetism, metal-insulator transition and superconductivity. Observation of quantum oscillations in the presence of a strong magnetic field is a signature of Fermi liquid behaviour and can be used in conjunction with complementary experimental techniques to map the Fermi surface of a metal. For metallic states, the Fermi surface plays a central role in the understanding of correlated electron systems. In this dissertation, the author reports his work on the high magnetic field study of three families of strongly correlated electron systems at low temperatures. These include contactless resistivity measurements under pulsed magnetic fields on materials belonging to two families of high temperature superconductors - iron arsenides and underdoped cuprates - as well as high field torque magnetometry and magnetisation measurements on the Kondo insulator samarium hexaboride. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations observed in the former further our understanding of the nature of the normal states of these high temperature superconductors, crucial to unravel the origin of unconventional superconductivity in these materials. Quantum oscillations observed in samarium hexaboride, on the other hand, points to a paradoxical coexistence of a three-dimensional Fermi surface in the otherwise bulk insulating state of the rare earth hexaboride. The discovery of a possible new phase in matter hints at the work of new physics and an understanding of it is likely to open new exciting areas of research in strongly correlated materials.

description: In this comment of the article [arXiv:2002.01150] "Locating the source field lines of Jovian decametric radio emissions" by YuMing Wang et al., 2020, we discuss the assumptions used by the authors to compute the beaming angle of Jupiter s decametric emissions induced by the moon Io. Their method, relying on multi-point radio observations, was applied to a single event observed on 14th March 2014 by Wind and both STEREO A/B spacecraft from 5 to 16 MHz, and erroneously identified as a northern emission (Io-B type) instead of a southern one (Io-D type). We encourage the authors to update their results with the right hemisphere of origin and to test their method on a larger sample of Jupiter-Io emissions.

description: We review the gauge and ghost cyle graph complexes as defined by Kreimer, Sars and van Suijlekom in "Quantization of gauge fields, graph polynomials and graph homology" and compute their cohomology. These complexes are generated by labelings on the edges or cycles of graphs and the differentials act by exchanging these labels. We show that both cases are instances of a more general construction of double complexes associated to graphs. Furthermore, we describe a universal model for these kind of complexes which allows to treat all of them in a unified way.

description: The quantum mechanical equivalent of parametric resonance is studied. A simple model of a periodically kicked harmonic oscillator is introduced which can be solved exactly. Classically stable and unstable regions in parameter space are shown to correspond to Floquet operators with qualitatively different properties. Their eigenfunctions, which are calculated exactly, exhibit a transition: for parameter values with classically stable solutions the eigenstates are normalizable while they cannot be normalized for parameter values with classically instable solutions. Similarly, the spectrum of quasi energies undergoes a specific transition. These observations remain valid qualitatively for arbitrary linear systems exhibiting classically parametric resonance such as the paradigm example of a frequency modulated pendulum described by Mathieu's equation.

Analyzing cause in social movements : synthesizing, structuring and focusing social movement theory using Aristotle’s four causes with a final cause heuristic

description: Social Movement Theory is a compilation of theories and methods from myriad fields of study. Because social movement theory borrows from so many disciplines, making sense of social movements is driven more by epistemological bias than by a deep understanding of what social movements do for society. I use Aristotle’s “four causes” to give methodological structure to social movement theory, and I use “final cause” as a heuristic to focus and deepen social movement causal analysis. This thesis is dedicated to resolving social movement theory methodologically, but I accomplish several antecedent tasks. First, I engage Aristotelian causation and his ‘final cause’ so structure and focus social movement theory, demarcating different types of teleological cause. Second, I posit three Natural Teleological drivers of community, justice and power that are integral in making social movements emerge when societies find an imbalance in these three social forces. Lastly, I propose a social movement causation model synthesizes social movement and related research across five causation levels: Natural phenomena, institutional constraining and enabling structures, lifeworld causation and meaning interpretations and understandings, agent-initiated and often goal directed actions, and resultant observable events. Following my exploration of the Egyptian and Syrian ‘Arab Spring’ movements, I find that nonviolent social movements emerge for the sake of sociopolitical reform and evolution and violent social movements are for the sake of destroying something that is offensive and seems unalterable to society so that the people can rebuild that aspect of society anew.

description: Despite being important to artisanal and industrial fisheries, little is known about the role of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis and the eastern little tuna (or kawakawa) Euthynnus affinis in recreational fisheries. This study used a banner-recruited, online questionnaire of recreational tuna anglers in South Africa to characterise the role of these two species in this fishery and those that participate. Respondents (n = 108) were generally well-equipped with high-capacity skiboats and were highly specialised (high levels of fishing avidity and centrality-to-life). Many indicated that they actively targeted skipjack and eastern little tuna, suggesting that these species are not only bycatch. Both species had little food value to the respondents, who were more motivated to catch/target them for sport or for use as bait for more desirable species. Half the respondents perceived poor compliance in the tuna recreational fishery, and most felt that efforts at monitoring, control and surveillance were poorly implemented. However, many were willing to engage in mandatory reporting of tuna catches, and the majority supported a harvest moratorium for tuna if required. Perceptions of catch seasonality and trends generally aligned with the available data, suggesting that fishers’ ecological knowledge may be valuable for management of heterogenous subsectors of the recreational fishery.

description: We present results of an extensive mapping survey of N2H+(1-0) in about 60 low mass cloud cores already mapped in the NH3(1,1) inversion transition line. The survey has been carried out at the FCRAO antenna with an angular resolution about 1.5 times finer than the previous ammonia observations. Cores with stars typically have map sizes about a factor of two smaller for N2H+ than for NH3, indicating the presence of denser and more centrally concentrated gas compared to starless cores. Significant correlations are found between NH3 and N2H+ column densities and excitation temperatures in starless cores, but not in cores with stars, suggesting a different chemical evolution of the two species. Velocity gradients range between 0.5 and 6 km/s/pc, similar to what has been found with NH3 data. ``Local'' velocity gradients show significant variation in both magnitude and direction, suggesting the presence of complexmotions not interpretable as simple solid body rotation. Integrated intensity profiles of starless cores present a ``central flattening'' and are consistent with a spherically symmetric density law n ~ r^{-1.2} for r < ~0.03 pc and n ~ r^{-2} at larger r. Cores with stars are better modelled with single density power laws with n ~ r^{-2}. Line widths change across the core but we did not find a general trend. The deviation in line width correlates with the mean line width, suggesting that the line of sight contains ~ 10 coherence lengths. The corresponding value of the coherence length, ~ 0.01 pc, is similar to the expected cutoff wavelength for MHD waves. This similarity may account for the increased ``coherence'' of line widths on small scales. Despite of the finer angular resolution, the majority of N2H+ and NH3 maps show a similar ``simple'' structure, with single peaks and no elongation.

description: For self-similar sets on $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the exponential separation condition we show that the natural projections of shift invariant ergodic measures is equal to $\min\{1,\frac{h}{-χ}\}$, where $h$ and $χ$ are the entropy and Lyapunov exponent respectively. The proof relies on Shmerkin's recent result on the $L^{q}$ dimension of self-similar measures. We also use the same method to give results on convolutions and orthogonal projections of ergodic measures projected onto self-similar sets.

description: Current proposals for quantum compilers require the synthesis and optimization of linear reversible circuits and among them CNOT circuits. Since these circuits represent a significant part of the cost of running an entire quantum circuit, we aim at reducing their size. In this paper we present a new algorithm for the synthesis of CNOT circuits based on the solution of the syndrome decoding problem. Our method addresses the case of ideal hardware with an all-to-all qubit connectivity and the case of near-term quantum devices with restricted connectivity. For both cases, we present benchmarks showing that our algorithm outperforms existing algorithms.

local flexibility markets

description: Due to an ongoing energy transition, electricity networks are increasingly challenged by situations where local electrical power demands are high but local generation is low and vice versa. This finally leads to a growing number of technical problems. To solve these problems in the short-term, the electrical power of load and generation must be adjusted as available flexibility. In zonal electricity systems, one often discussed concept to utilize flexibility is local flexibility markets. Based on auction theory, we provide a comprehensible framework for the use of network-supportive flexibility in general. In this context, we discuss the problem of matching supply and demand. We introduce three matching approaches that can be applied and adapted for different network situations. In addition to a qualitative description of the three approaches, we present a case study of an exemplary distribution network and explore different scenarios to demonstrate the utility of the algorithms. We compare the three approaches on a qualitative level with quantitative inputs from the case study. The comparison considers the specific cost, flexible energy, ensured demand coverage, data minimization, computational effort and the transferability of the three approaches.

description: Process visualizations of data from manufacturing execution systems (MESs) provide the ability to generate valuable insights for improved decision-making. Industry 4.0 is awakening a digital transformation where advanced analytics and visualizations are critical. Exploiting MESs with data-driven strategies can have a major impact on business outcomes. The advantages of employing process visualizations are demonstrated through an application to real-world data. Visualizations, such as dashboards, enable the user to examine the performance of a production line at a high level. Furthermore, the addition of interactivity facilitates the user to customize the data they want to observe. Evidence of process variability between shifts and days of the week can be investigated with the goal of optimizing production.

description: Hypertension is well-known to be influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Managing stress is one of the non-pharmacologic approaches to treating hypertension. It is, therefore, imperative to unravel the molecular mechanism by which stress conditions influence hypertension. In this study, TIP60 expressions in human blood samples and cell lines, glutamatedmPFC-to−vCA1 release, and receptor expressions in the Stress-induced hypertension mice were determined using western blotting, CSF (obtained by microdialysis), and ELISA. The study reports increased protein expressions of TIP60 in the peripheral blood of hypertensive patients and in cell lines representing hypertension. In Chronic restraint stress (CRS) conditions TIP60 expression and vCA1 glutamate release were found to be up-regulated, with high SBP and DSP indicating hypertension was induced. After electrical stimulation at the dmPFC, release of glutamate in the vCA1 increased, indicating that activity within the dmPFC drives the release of glutamate in the vCA1, which was blocked by injecting MG149 (a TIP60 inhibitor) into dmPFC. To further determine whether TIP60 was involved in glutamate release and eventually results in hypertension, MG149 was also injected i.p. alongside CRS modeling. The increased glutamate release, NR2B, and IL-18 expressions as well as the CRS-induced hypertension was therefore reversed by chronic application with MG149. Altogether, these results suggest that TIP60 influences the glutamatedmPFC-to-vCA1 release and receptor expressions. This study, therefore, proposes that stressful condition induces increased expression of TIP60 which lead to the transcription of genes that result in conditions that favors glutamate release and receptor expressions hence triggering hypertension.

description: The application of Network Science to social systems has introduced new methodologies to analyze classical problems such as the emergence of epidemics, the arousal of cooperation between individuals or the propagation of information along social networks. More recently, the organization of football teams and their performance have been unveiled using metrics coming from Network Science, where a team is considered as a complex network whose nodes (i.e., players) interact with the aim of overcoming the opponent network. Here, we combine the use of different network metrics to extract the particular signature of the F.C. Barcelona coached by Guardiola, which has been considered one of the best teams along football history. We have first compared the network organization of Guardiola's team with their opponents along one season of the Spanish national league, identifying those metrics with statistically significant differences and relating them with the Guardiola's game. Next, we have focused on the temporal nature of football passing networks and calculated the evolution of all network properties along a match, instead of considering their average. In this way, we are able to identify those network metrics that enhance the probability of scoring/receiving a goal, showing that not all teams behave in the same way and how the organization Guardiola's F.C. Barcelona is different from the rest, including its clustering coefficient, shortest-path length, largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix, algebraic connectivity and centrality distribution.

description: In this Topical Review we consider stochastic processes under resetting, which have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. We begin with the simple example of a diffusive particle whose position is reset randomly in time with a constant rate $r$, which corresponds to Poissonian resetting, to some fixed point (e.g. its initial position). This simple system already exhibits the main features of interest induced by resetting: (i) the system reaches a nontrivial nonequilibrium stationary state (ii) the mean time for the particle to reach a target is finite and has a minimum, optimal, value as a function of the resetting rate $r$. We then generalise to an arbitrary stochastic process (e.g. Lévy flights or fractional Brownian motion) and non-Poissonian resetting (e.g. power-law waiting time distribution for intervals between resetting events). We go on to discuss multiparticle systems as well as extended systems, such as fluctuating interfaces, under resetting. We also consider resetting with memory which implies resetting the process to some randomly selected previous time. Finally we give an overview of recent developments and applications in the field.

description: Radioactive waste glasses containing Mg have been shown to have much poorer (~one order of magnitude) aqueous durability in long-term, compared with those have a similar amount of Ca as the alkaline-earth constituent. This is the case between two non-radioactive research surrogates: MW glasses produced in the UK and SON68 glass produced in France. With the latter being the most widely researched and understood nuclear glass to date, advances in understanding and modelling MW glass dissolution require special account for Mg. Mg-containing clay precipitates observed on glass surface after reaching the residual rate regime have been thought to be the cause. However, precipitation initiated from early stages when the supposedly protective gel layer is forming and growing has not been studied. Solid-state NMR is extensively applied to characterise the altered glass surface in this thesis for its power in providing atomic-level structural insights with amorphous materials being amenable to it. Its quantitative nature also affords extra advantages over other spectroscopic techniques. Simplified MW25 glass (MgEM) and the series with various degree of Ca substitution were made to separately investigate the effects of Mg, firstly, on the pristine glass structure. The relative fraction of boron in 3- and 4-fold coordination changes as the relative amount of Mg (Ca) content changes in the glass. This is driven by the different structural roles (network forming/modifying) between the two alkaline-earth elements. The representative rare-earth element, La, also adopts different structural roles between MgEM and its counterpart CaEM, accordingly. However, the initial dissolution rates measuring their primary leaching kinetics do not reflect the varying structural features elucidated by $^11$B, $^27$Al, $^23$Na, $^25$Mg and $^139$La NMR. Longer dissolution experiments up to 16 weeks are carried out to measure the extent of leaching with the feedback of secondary effects. The least durable MgEM glass is investigated in detail. Utilisation of $^25$Mg-enriched MgEM glass as well as $^17$O-enriched water as the leaching agent facilitates solid-state NMR experiments selectively characterising the alteration layers. Although suffering from low sensitivity, $^1$H-$^25$Mg and $^1$H-$^17$O cross-polarisation as well as $^17$O multiple-quantum magic angle spinning NMR act as the surface probe. Coupled with $^1$H and $^29$Si NMR results, the altered glass and precipitates structures and the corresponding implications for glass dissolution kinetics are discussed at length. Aside from experimental results, NMR calculations based on ab initio density functional theory are performed to assist with explaining the complex $^25$Mg and $^17$O NMR spectra and hence identifying the precipitates.

description: The correlations in the motion of reptating polymers in their melt are investigated by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the three dimensional slithering snake version of the bond-fluctuation model. Surprisingly, the slithering snake dynamics becomes inconsistent with classical reptation predictions at high chain overlap (either chain length $N$ or volume fraction $ϕ$) where the relaxation times increase much faster than expected. This is due to the anomalous curvilinear diffusion in a finite time window whose upper bound $τ_+$ is set by the chain end density $ϕ/N$. Density fluctuations created by passing chain ends allow a reference polymer to break out of the local cage of immobile obstacles created by neighboring chains. The dynamics of dense solutions of snakes at $t \ll τ_+$ is identical to that of a benchmark system where all but one chain are frozen. We demonstrate that it is the slow creeping of a chain out of its correlation hole which causes the subdiffusive dynamical regime. Our results are in good qualitative agreement with the activated reptation scheme proposed recently by Semenov and Rubinstein [Eur. Phys. J. B, {\bf 1} (1998) 87]. Additionally, we briefly comment on the relevance of local relaxation pathways within a slithering snake scheme. Our preliminary results suggest that a judicious choice of the ratio of local to slithering snake moves is crucial to equilibrate a melt of long chains efficiently.

description: Three-jet production has been studied in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering. The measurement carried out with the H1 detector at HERA covers a large range of four-momentum transfer squared 5 < Q^2 < 5000 GeV^2 and invariant three-jet masses 25 < M_(3jet) < 140 GeV. Jets are defined by the inclusive k_T algorithm in the Breit frame. The size of the three-jet cross section and the ratio of the three-jet to the dijet cross section R_(3/2) are described over the whole phase space by the predictions of perturbative QCD in next-to-leading order. The shapes of angular jet distributions deviate significantly from a uniform population of the available phase space but are well described by the QCD calculation.

description: We define a class of orthosymplectic superalgebras $osp(m;j|2n;ω)$ which may be obtained from $osp(m|2n)$ by contractions and analytic continuations in a similar way as the orthogonal and the symplectic Cayley-Klein algebras are obtained from the corresponding classical ones. Contractions of $osp(1|2)$ and $osp(3|2)$ are regarded as an examples.
