description: A system of two coplanar superconducting films seamlessly connected by a bridge is studied. We observe two distinct resistive transitions as the temperature is reduced. The first one, occurring in the films, shows some properties of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. The second apparent transition (which is in fact a crossover) is related to freezing out of thermally activated phase slips (TAPS) localized on the bridge. We also propose a powerful indirect experimental method allowing an extraction of the sample's zero-bias resistance from high-current-bias measurements. Using direct and indirect measurements, we determined the resistance $R(T)$ of the bridges within a range of {\em eleven orders of magnitude}. Over such broad range, the resistance follows a simple relation $R(T)=R_N \text{exp} [-(c/t)(1-t)^{3/2}]$, where $c=ΔF(0) / kT_c$ is the normalized free energy of a phase slip at zero temperature, $t=T/T_c$ is normalized temperature, and $R_N$ is the normal resistance of the bridge.

description: We show how Bell observables on a bipartite quantum system can be obtained by local observables via a controlled-unitary transformation. For continuous variables this result holds for the Bell observable corresponding to the non-conventional heterodyne measurement on two radiation modes, which is connected through a 50-50 beam-splitter to two local observables given by single-mode homodyne measurements. A simple scheme for a controlled-unitary transformation of continuous variables is also presented, which needs only two squeezers, a parametric downconverter and two beam splitters.

description: Anti-phase boundaries (APBs) are structural defects which have been shown to be responsible for the anomalous magnetic behaviour observed in different nanostructures. Understanding their properties is crucial in order to use them to tune the properties of magnetic materials by growing APBs in a controlled way since their density strongly depends on the synthesis method. With this aim, in this work we investigate their influence on magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$) thin films by considering an atomistic spin model, focusing our study on the role that the exchange interactions play across the APB interface. We conclude that the main atypical features reported experimentally in this material are well described by the model we propose here, confirming the new exchange interactions created in the APB as the responsible for this deviation from bulk properties.

description: Fair trade is an important ethical concern in food value chains. However, there is a dearth of empirical insights on consumer preferences for this critical aspect especially in the domestic markets of developing countries. The current study analyzed consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for fair trade attributes in goat meat value chain in the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi. Choice experiment data from 270 consumers was analyzed using the random parameter logit (RPL) model. The results showed that 56% of the consumers were aware of the fair trade concept and 64% of them were willing to pay for fair trade compliant practices in goat meat value chains. Specifically, consumers were willing to pay a premium of 62% to prevent child labour, 45% to support provision of medical insurance for workers in the meat value chain, 40% for direct purchase from producers, 39% for fair trade labelling and 30% to support the disabled people as part of corporate social responsibility. These findings should be integrated in the goat meat value chain in order to make the enterprises more responsive to the ethical concerns of various stakeholders. Key words: fair trade, consumer willingness-to-pay, goat meat, Kenya. Acknowledgement : The author appreciates useful insights from colleagues at the University of Nairobi.

description: The recent proof by F. Guerra that the Parisi ansatz provides a lower bound on the free energy of the SK spin-glass model could have been taken as offering some support to the validity of the purported solution. In this work we present a broader variational principle, in which the lower bound, as well as the actual value, are obtained through an optimization procedure for which ultrametic/hierarchal structures form only a subset of the variational class. The validity of Parisi's ansatz for the SK model is still in question. The new variational principle may be of help in critical review of the issue.

Field Theory on a Non-commutative Plane: a Non-Perturbative Study

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The 2d gauge theory on the lattice is equivalent to the twisted Eguchi-Kawai model, which we simulated at N ranging from 25 to 515. We observe a clear large N scaling for the 1- and 2-point function of Wilson loops, as well as the 2-point function of Polyakov lines. The 2-point functions agree with a universal wave function renormalization. The large N double scaling limit corresponds to the continuum limit of non-commutative gauge theory, so the observed large N scaling demonstrates the non-perturbative renormalizability of this non-commutative field theory. The area law for the Wilson loops holds at small physical area as in commutative 2d planar gauge theory, but at large areas we find an oscillating behavior instead. In that regime the phase of the Wilson loop grows linearly with the area. This agrees with the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the presence of a constant magnetic field, identified with the inverse non-commutativity parameter. Next we investigate the 3d λϕ^4 model with two non-commutative coordinates and explore its phase diagram. Our results agree with a conjecture by Gubser and Sondhi in d=4, who predicted that the ordered regime splits into a uniform phase and a phase dominated by stripe patterns. We further present results for the correlators and the dispersion relation. In non-commutative field theory the Lorentz invariance is explicitly broken, which leads to a deformation of the dispersion relation. In one loop perturbation theory this deformation involves an additional infrared divergent term. Our data agree with this perturbative result.

description: According to the European Innovation Scoreboard report, there is a big difference between the European Union (EU) member states innovation performance. The majority of the Southern-European countries and Member States joined to the EU in 2004 are considered as moderate innovators. On the top of the list there are the Scandinavian and the Benelux countries, the UK and Germany, while Bulgaria and Romania are the modest innovators in Europe. From an innovation point of view food industry is seen as slow one, which is lagging behind the technology pushed possibilities, but sometimes behind the costumers desires and requirements as well. In our research, we determine why the food companies in the examined European countries - do not engage in innovation activities and - if they do so, what are the main drivers of their innovation performance? We use the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2012 data and employ double hurdle estimation because of the nature of the innovation distribution. This method also helps in overcoming the selection bias problem, which necessarily occurs in this situation. Results prove that networking scope as well as networking intensity, play important role in explaining innovation performance. The size and market obstacles are also significant factors.

description: Beginning in 2003, the USDA s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) embarked on a series of changes to the regulations regarding testing of chicken carcasses for Salmonella and permissible test outcomes. In particular, FSIS announced in 2003 that regulations would soon change; tightened the standard in 2006, and publicly reported the names of plants with poor performance starting in 2008. This article examines the effects of this series of regulatory changes on Salmonella test outcomes for young-chicken slaughter plants. We find that, while public disclosure of information improved Salmonella test outcomes, the effects were relatively homogeneous across well-performing and poorly-performing plants. The announcement of pending regulatory change in 2003 had a strong effect on the poorest-performing plants. We conclude that buyers failure to fully unravel information about chicken plants and other market mechanisms (such as contractual requirements) may have driven the somewhat surprising results.

description: Cadmium (Cd), a cancer-causing heavy metal ion, concentration in the environment has recently shown a rapid increase mainly as a result of human activity. Since many plants are used as medicine and food, it is crucial to investigate effects of Cd on plant growth and development. This study examines the time course and concentration-dependent effects of Cd on morphology, photosynthesis and protein profiles in hydroponically-grown bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris). High concentrations of Cd (1000 and 100uM) induced leaf wilting and reduced both leaf growth and photosynthesis rate within 24 and 48 hours respectively. Lower concentration of 10 uM Cd showed the wilted morphology after 96 hours. In addition, the Cd-induced changes in protein profiles especially the photosynthesis and stress proteins will be discussed in relation to morphology, leaf growth and photosynthesis in bean plants.

description: We propose a bio-inspired foveated technique to detect cars in a long range camera view using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for the IARA self-driving car. The DCNN receives as input (i) an image, which is captured by a camera installed on IARA's roof; and (ii) crops of the image, which are centered in the waypoints computed by IARA's path planner and whose sizes increase with the distance from IARA. We employ an overlap filter to discard detections of the same car in different crops of the same image based on the percentage of overlap of detections' bounding boxes. We evaluated the performance of the proposed augmented-range vehicle detection system (ARVDS) using the hardware and software infrastructure available in the IARA self-driving car. Using IARA, we captured thousands of images of real traffic situations containing cars in a long range. Experimental results show that ARVDS increases the Average Precision (AP) of long range car detection from 29.51% (using a single whole image) to 63.15%.

description: Stem barks of Boswellia dalzielii are used traditionally for the treatment of various bacterial infections. A bioassay guided fractionation of the MeOH-CH2Cl2 (1/1, v/v) stem barks extract led to the isolation of fourteen compounds 1–14, identified based on spectroscopic data. Dalzienoside (1) is reported here for the first time. The broth microdilution method was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the crude extract, fractions and compounds against six bacterial strains. The crude extract exhibited moderate antibacterial activity with MIC of 250 μL/ml; two fractions showed significant activities with MICs ranging from 7.8 to 125 μg/ml, while α-boswellic acid (2), β-boswellic acid (3), acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (4) from these fractions exhibited strong activities with MIC value of 3.125 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Enterobacter cloacae, Streptococcus pneumonia and Pseudomonia aeruginosa. This study gives insight into the antibacterial constituents of the stem bark of B. dalzielii and justifies its use in ethnomedicine.

description: This study investigates the impact of participatory household decision-making, introduced through a randomly encouraged intensive coaching package and less intensive couple seminars, in agricultural households in Uganda on intrahousehold cooperation and sharing behaviour measured in a lab-in-the-field experiment. The effects on the likelihood of playing the most cooperative strategies in two sequential voluntary contribution mechanism (VCM) games and on average fractions contributed by couples, husbands and wives are limited and not clear-cut. Allowing a selection of couples to communicate before the second VCM game did not reinforce treatment effects even if they mimicked the treatment. The same applies for the impact on sharing behaviour in dictator games simultaneously played by husband and wife, following either the second VCM game with or without communication. There are however distributional treatment effects. The coaching made husbands and wives who are already cooperative more cooperative in the second VCM game and more generous in the sharing game specifically when communication is allowed. The couple seminars had similar effects among husbands. At the lower end of the distribution, the coaching and couple seminars negatively affected husbands and wives contributed shares in the second VCM game with communication; and wives offers in the subsequent sharing game.

The three-dimensional instabilities and destruction of the Hill's vortex
Creators: name: Orlandi, Paolo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Hill vortex is a three-dimensional vortex structure solution of the Euler equations. For small amplitude axisymmetric disturbances on the external surface from the linear stability analysis by \citet{moff78} emerged the formation of a tail. Successive studies confirmed this fact, and in addition observed a different shape of the tail with azimuthal small amplitude disturbances. In this paper the Navier-Stokes equations are solved at high values of the Reynolds number imposing large amplitude axisymmetric and three-dimensional disturbances on the surface of the vortex. The conclusion is that the azimuthal disturbances produce a hierarchy of structures inside the vortex maintaining the shape of the vortex. On the other hand the axisymmetric disturbances are convected in the rear side, are dumped and form an axisymmetric wave longer higher the magnitude of the surface disturbance. Simulations in a moving frame allow to extend the evolution in time leading to the conclusion that the Hill vortex is unstable and produces a wide range of energy containing scales characteristic of three-dimensional flows.

description: The coupling between spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom plays an important role in a wide range of fundamental phenomena. Monolayer semiconducting transitional metal dichalcogenides have emerged as an outstanding platform for studying these coupling effects because they possess unique spin-valley locking physics for hosting rich excitonic species and the reduced screening for strong Coulomb interactions. Here, we report the observation of multiple valley phonons, phonons with momentum vectors pointing to the corners of the hexagonal Brillouin zone, and the resulting exciton complexes in the monolayer semiconductor WSe2. From Lande g-factor and polarization analyses of photoluminescence peaks, we find that these valley phonons lead to efficient intervalley scattering of quasi particles in both exciton formation and relaxation. This leads to a series of photoluminescence peaks as valley phonon replicas of dark trions. Using identified valley phonons, we also uncovered an intervalley exciton near charge neutrality, and extract its short-range electron-hole exchange interaction to be about 10 meV. Our work not only identifies a number of previously unknown 2D excitonic species, but also shows that monolayer WSe2 is a prime candidate for studying interactions between spin, pseudospin, and zone-edge phonons.

description: Crop rotations effects are key features of environmentally friendly crop production practices but they are poorly documented. The aim of this article is to present an estimation approach of these effects based on farm accountancy data. Estimating crop rotation effects on yield and variable input use levels from farm accountancy data is a challenging issue since farmers crop sequence choices are not observed. We propose to devise this estimation problem as a Bi-level Programming (BLP) problem designed to estimate the crop rotation effects while simultaneously reconstructing farmers unobserved crop sequences from farmers observed (current and previous) crop acreages. Our estimation approach is based on a well-defined statistical background. It relies on simple crop sequence yield and input use models as well as on an assumption stating that farmers are economically rational when deciding their crop sequence acreages. Our estimation approach also makes use of expert knowledge information on crop rotation effects for guiding the construction of the crop rotation effect estimators. An illustrative application based on French farm accountancy data demonstrate that the proposed estimation approach yields meaningful crop rotation estimates when suitably implemented.

description: The wavelength dependence of interstellar polarization due to dust in M31 has been observed along four sightlines. Only one sightline had been measured previously.The globular clusters, S78, S150, S233 and Baade 327 were used as point sources to probe the interstellar dust in M31. The Serkowski law produces good fits for all the sightlines although the relationship between K and lambda(max) may be different from that found in the Galaxy. The results of this study imply that the slope K/lambda(max) may be significantly larger in M31. The Serkowski curves are significantly narrower than those of the same lambda(max) in the Galaxy and may require extreme modifications to the size distributions of silicate particles. The fits for the four sightlines reveal values of lambda(max) ranging from 4800 to 5500 A. These are consistent with average values of lambda(max) measured in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. The range measured for M31 corresponds to R(V) values of 2.7 to 3.1. The range in R(V) seen in the Galaxy is 2.5 to 5.5 implying, for this small sample, that the average size ofinterstellar grains in M31 is typically smaller than that seen for Galactic grains if the nature of the grains is the same. Also, the polarization efficiency for these sightlines is large although some bias is expected since sightlines known to have significant interstellar polarization were selected for the sample.

description: It’s not easy being a pregnant woman in rural British Columbia. With 10–20% annual attrition of family physicians in rural BC, and 17 rural hospitals having ceased maternity care services since 2000, many women lose the ability to deliver in their own community even if local hospitals exist. What are the causes and consequences? We investigated rural maternity care from the perspective of parturient women and care providers. Through a series of interviews and focus groups in 14 communities across BC, we learned about the current state of maternity care in rural BC and investigated how the reduction in maternity care services has impacted women’s lives, physician’s confidence, and community ethos.
Convex Polytopes and Quasilattices from the Symplectic Viewpoint

description: We construct, for each convex polytope, possibly nonrational and nonsimple, a family of compact spaces that are stratified by quasifolds, i.e. each of these spaces is a collection of quasifolds glued together in an suitable way. A quasifold is a space locally modelled on $\R^k$ modulo the action of a discrete, possibly infinite, group. The way strata are glued to each other also involves the action of an (infinite) discrete group. Each stratified space is endowed with a symplectic structure and a moment mapping having the property that its image gives the original polytope back. These spaces may be viewed as a natural generalization of symplectic toric varieties to the nonrational setting.

Thank You for Smoking! How Loopholes Between the EU and Switzerland Create Big Rents for Big Tobacco

description: While loopholes are ubiquitous in many industrial sectors, estimating their economy effects is challenging. Using an example from the tobacco industry, this paper illustrates how loopholes are exploited, and quantifies their economic effects. After 2004, the EU effectively bans the production of cigarettes exceeding maximum yield limits of 10 mg tar, 1 mg nicotine, and 10 mg carbon monoxide, whereas Switzerland still allows the production of stronger cigarettes for the export market. I identify the effect of this loophole by carefully constructing various comparison groups, and quantify it by implementing a difference-in-difference estimator. I show that the loophole creates big rents in the form of additional foreign sales for Big Tobacco (i.e., the world's five biggest tobacco companies). In the decade from 2004 to 2014, Big Tobacco's foreign sales were between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion higher than they would have been without the loophole.

description: The economy of rural Oklahoma is based on oil, gas, and agriculture, and income om thes sectors of the economy has varied widely during the 1980's. Revenue for tax-supported local government and school systems in rural areas is vulnerable to those same fluctuations. This study reviews the sources and level of revenue for cities, counties, and schools in 36 rural Oklahoma counties from 1981 to 1986 and compares revenue with inflation. In most cases, revenues kept up with, or exceeded, inflation during the study period. Exceptions were a general decline in Federal sources of revenue and an increase in county revenue from the State at less than the inflation rate.

description: This study analyzes grain production in France. France is the major grain producer in the European Community (EC) and one of the leading producers in the world. France is also a major grain exporter and, thus, competes with the United States in world markets. The United States is pursuing a policy of lower world prices to regain market share. Large grain surpluses in the EC have resulted in increased budget expenditures to support grain farmers and pressures to lower prices. What are the implications of lower prices on French grain production? Our results suggest that French grain area is price elastic. However, supply response also depends upon yield, which is not sensitive to changes in output prices in the short run. French products receive preferential treatment within EC markets, and their exports to nonmember countries are subsidized, enabling France to increase exports and market share. French competitiveness has also been enhanced by technological improvements, relatively high and stable prices, and structural change.
Type IIP Supernova Progenitors III: Blue to Red Supergiant Ratio in Low Metallicity Models with Convective Overshoot

description: The distribution of stars in the Hertzsprung Russell diagram (HRD) for a stellar conglomeration represents a snapshot of its evolving stellar population. Some of the supergiant stars may transit the HRD from blue to red and then again to blue during their late evolutionary stages, as exemplified by the progenitor of SN 1987A. Others may transit a given part of the HRD more than twice in a "blue loop" and end up as red supergiants before they explode. Since stars in blue loops spend a considerable part of their lives there, these stages may change the relative number of modeled supergiants in the HRD. Their lifetimes in turn depend upon the initial mass of the star, how convection in its interior is modeled, and how much mass loss takes place during its evolution. The observed ratio of the number of blue to red supergiants and yellow to red supergiants sensitively test the stellar evolution theory. We compare modeled number ratios of these supergiants with observed data from the Large Magellanic Cloud as it has a metallicity very similar to that of the environment of SN 2013ej. We successfully model these by taking into account moderate (exponential) convective overshooting. We explore its effect on the final radius and mass of the star prior to core collapse. The radius differs dramatically with overshoot. These factors controlling pre-supernova structure may affect the post-explosion optical/IR light curves and spectral development.

title: Identifying the built space impacts of fly-in-fly-out employment-related geographical mobility in Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador
Creators: name: Butters, Leanna
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2018

description: Fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) is a long-distance commuting arrangement involving the travel of individuals to and from a place of work by airplane. Research suggests that host, source, and hub communities associated with FIFO are faced with both challenges and opportunities. It has also been suggested that compound community types exist, including the source-hub community. Built space, such as airport infrastructure, housing, and services, are integral to the functioning of source-hub communities but have not yet been studied in the FIFO context. This research project identified the town of Deer Lake in Newfoundland and Labrador as a source-hub community with the goal of better understanding the role and impacts of FIFO on built space in the community. This study found that Deer Lake is a source-hub community, that FIFO has impacted built space in Deer Lake, and that FIFO may have had additional impacts on the community.
