description: A consumer survey and Tobit analysis were used to determine the effect of message framing and other factors on self-reported organic food purchase likelihood. Negative framing, which emphasizes the possible negative consequences of conventional agricultural techniques, led to a "boomerang effect" that resulted in lowered purchase likelihood of organic food by consumers with high trust in food safety. Consumers with significantly higher purchase likelihood had high perceived risk from pesticides and high prior knowledge about organic methods. African Americans and those with less than a high school education had lower purchase likelihood.

description: Context. The detection of planets orbiting chemically peculiar stars is very scarcely known in the literature. Aims. To determine the detailed chemical composition of the remarkable planet host star KELT-17. This object hosts a hot-Jupiter planet with 1.31 MJup detected by transits, being one of the more massive and rapidly rotating planet hosts to date. We aimed to derive a complete chemical pattern for this star, in order to compare it with those of chemically peculiar stars. Methods. We carried out a detailed abundance determination in the planet host star KELT-17 via spectral synthesis. Stellar parameters were estimated iteratively by fitting Balmer line profiles and imposing the Fe ionization balance, using the program SYNTHE together with plane-parallel ATLAS12 model atmospheres. Specific opacities for an arbitrary composition and microturbulence velocity vmicro were calculated through the Opacity Sampling (OS) method. The abundances were determined iteratively by fitting synthetic spectra to metallic lines of 16 different chemical species using the program SYNTHE. The complete chemical pattern of KELT-17 was compared to the recently published average pattern of Am stars. We estimated the stellar radius by two methods: a) comparing the synthetic spectral energy distribution with the available photometric data and the Gaia parallax, and b) using a Bayesian estimation of stellar parameters using stellar isochrones. Results. We found overabundances of Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, Sr, Y, Zr, and Ba, together with subsolar values of Ca and Sc. Notably, the chemical pattern agrees with those recently published of Am stars, being then KELT-17 the first exoplanet host whose complete chemical pattern is unambiguously identified with this class. The stellar radius derived by two different methods agrees to each other and with those previously obtained in the literature.

description: Evaluations on the effectiveness of state and origin branding programs remain relatively scant and generally have not focused on specific target populations, including Hispanic consumers, the fastest-growing group. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Arizona Grown brand and the nascent Mexico Selected Quality brand in differentiating and promoting food products in Hispanic markets. It was found that Hispanic consumers tend to view these food-product brands as nearly identical in perceived quality. Furthermore, they are willing to pay nearly equal premiums for products branded as such. These consumers saw no value in country-of-origin information alone.

description: We prove that the averaged scattering solutions to the Schrödinger equation with short-range electromagnetic potentials $(V,A)$ where $V(x)=O(|x|^{-ρ}), A(x)= O(|x|^{-ρ}), |x| \to \infty, ρ>1,$ are dense in the set of all solutions to the Schrödinger equation that are in $L^2(K)$ where $K$ is any connected bounded open set in $\ere^n,n\geq 2,$ with smooth boundary. We use this result to prove that if two short-range electromagnetic potentials $(V_1,A_1)$ and $(V_2,A_2)$ in $\ere^n, n\geq 3,$ have the same scattering matrix at a fixed positive energy and if the electric potentials $V_j$ and the magnetic fields $ F_j:={\rm curl} A_j, j=1,2,$ coincide outside of some ball they necessarily coincide everywhere. In a previous paper of Weder and Yafaev the case of electric potentials and magnetic fields that are asymptotic sums of homogeneous terms at infinity was studied. It was proven that all these terms can be uniquely reconstructed from the singularities in the forward direction of the scattering amplitude at a fixed positive energy. The combination of the new uniqueness result of this paper and the result of Weder and Yafaev implies that the scattering matrix at a fixed positive energy uniquely determines electric potentials and magnetic fields that are a finite sum of homogeneous terms at infinity, or more generally, that are asymptotic sums of homogeneous terms that actually converge, respectively, to the electric potential and to the magnetic field.

description: This focus-group study investigated shoppers' beliefs and behaviors regarding local foods. Two of the four focus groups consisted of organic food shoppers. They were more committed to purchasing local foods and identified a much wider array of such foods than did the conventional shoppers. One group of conventional shoppers consisted of African-Americans, who tended to define "local" as a much larger geographic area than did the group of Caucasian conventional shoppers. The African-Americans were also less interested in local-food labels per se, despite being interested in the qualities associated with local foods: freshness, supporting local farmers, and developing personal relationships with food producers.
In-plane shake-table testing of unreinforced masonry walls strengthened with fibre reinforced-plastics

description: Unreinforced-masonry structures have typically performed poorly during earthquakes. Many structures that were built with this material still have a continued economic and social benefit, even though they may be structurally unfit. For this reason, many seismic retrofit schemes have been developed, one being the use of composite materials. Various testing has been performed on these materials, and on some of their structural applications in seismic retrofits. Limited full-scale shake table testing has been performed, and a research collaboration between The University of British Columbia and Public Works and Government Services Canada, Pacific Region was established to explore this type of testing on the application of these materials. A series of in-plane shake-table tests were performed on a set of unreinforced and FRP strip reinforced concrete-masonry walls. The unreinforced walls were used as a benchmark for the study, and five different configurations of FRP strip reinforcing were tested. The walls were subjected to code-level and near-code level to determine their behaviour at design levels. Then the walls were subjected to extreme-level records until failure, to determine the failure modes and behaviour of the various reinforcing schemes. It was observed from the testing that all of the strengthened specimens, regardless of reinforcing configuration, performed well during the application of the code- and nearcode level records. Four of the five reinforcing configurations also performed well during application of the extreme-level record. It was concluded from these tests that the use of vertical FRP strips is an adequate reinforcing configuration to improve the in-plane performance of URM walls. The behaviour of vertical strips was comparable to that of horizontal strips, which were also tested and found to be very effective. The vertical strips were found to be effective in repairing damaged walls. They were also found to help control the failure modes of the specimens, and prevent collapse even after severe damage had occurred. This can be a strong contributor to improving life-safety during a severe event.

description: The precipitous rise in temperature in the Sun's corona has been perplexing the astrophysics community since the nineteenth century. How can the approximately 5000 degree solar surface abruptly give rise to million degrees farther up? Certainly not through radiation, convection, or conduction, as that would be a breach of the second law of thermodynamics. Motivated by this long-standing open question, in this thesis we use the theory of magnetohydrodynamics alongside computer simulations to investigate alternative pathways via which the immense kinetic energy created by convective motions in the photosphere can be transported to the corona and fuel the observed heat.

In this paper, we study embeddings of X given by adjoint line bundles of the form K+L, where L is an ample line bundle. When X is a regular surface (i.e. H^1(X, O_X) = 0), we obtain a numerical criterion for K+L to have property Np. When X is a regular variety of arbitrary dimension, under a mild condition, we give an explicit calculation for the regularity of the ideal sheaves of such embeddings.

description: The Kovacs protocol, based on the temperature shift experiment originally conceived by A.J. Kovacs and applied on glassy polymers, is implemented in an exactly solvable model with facilitated dynamics. This model is based on interacting fast and slow modes represented respectively by spherical spins and harmonic oscillator variables. Due to this fundamental property and to slow dynamics, the model reproduces the characteristic non-monotonic evolution known as the ``Kovacs effect'', observed in polymers, spin glasses, in granular materials and models of molecular liquids, when similar experimental protocols are implemented.

description: This study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and normative and barrier beliefs of members of the American Association of Cereal Chemists about the production of whole grain foods. A total of 212 returned questionnaires were used in the analyses. Respondents had a fair knowledge of whole grain foods and positive attitudes about consumer-health and personal/company benefits. Scientific findings provided important normative influences for respondents from academia, while consumer needs and interests were influential for those in industry. Barriers included issues regarding consumer needs as well as beliefs about cost and product quality. Industry respondents may need to see stronger consumer demand before promoting production of whole grain foods.

description: We compute the differential and the total cross sections for $pp$ scattering using the QCD pomeron model proposed by Landshoff and Nachtmann. This model is quite dependent on the experimental electromagnetic form factor, and it is not totally clear why this form factor gives good results even at moderate transferred momentum. We exchange the eletromagnetic form factor by the asymptotic QCD proton form factor determined by Brodsky and Lepage (BL) plus a prescription for its low energy behavior dictated by the existence of a dynamically generated gluon mass. We fit the data with this QCD inspired form factor and a value for the dynamical gluon mass consistent with the ones determined in the literature. Our results also provide a new determination of the proton wave function at the origin, which appears in the BL form factor.

description: The weakly interacting trapped Bose gases have been customarily described using the mean-field approximation in the form of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The mean-field approximation, however, has certain limitations, in particular it can not describe correlations between particles. We introduce here an alternative variational approach, based on the correlated Gaussian method, which in its simplest form is as fast and simple as the mean-field approximation, but which allows successive improvements of the trial wave-function by including correlations between particles.

The Concept 'Indistinguishable'

description: The concept of indistinguishable particles in quantum theory is fundamental to questions of ontology. All ordinary matter is made of electrons, protons, neutrons, and photons and they are all indistinguishable particles. Yet the concept itself has proved elusive, in part because of the interpretational difficulties that afflict quantum theory quite generally, and in part because the concept was so central to the discovery of the quantum itself, by Planck in 1900; it came encumbered with revolution. I offer a deflationary reading of the concept "indistinguishable" that is identical to the Gibbs concept of "generic phase", save that it is defined for state spaces with only finitely-many states of bounded volume and energy (finitely-many orthogonal states, in quantum mechanics). That, and that alone, makes for the difference between the quantum and Gibbs concepts of indistinguishability. This claim is heretical on several counts, but here we consider only the content of the claim itself, and its bearing on the early history of quantum theory rather than in relation to contemporary debates about particle indistinguishability and permutation symmetry. It powerfully illuminates that history.

description: This paper analyzes the determinants of foreign direct investments by the U.S. food-processing industry in developed and developing countries. We find that market size, per-capita income, and trade openness significantly affect U.S. food-processing firms' decisions to invest abroad, but their influence differs between developed and developing countries. Economic development is positively associated with FDI in developing countries but negatively associated in developed countries. Market size is a major determinant of FDI only in developed economies. Trade openness seems to be important for sales by U.S. foreign affiliates in both developed and developing countries and for exports to developed country markets.

Hybrid fiber reinforced concrete : fiber synergy in very high strength concrete
Creators: name: Gupta, Rishi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Over the years we have been able to overcome the inherent weaknesses of concrete thereby making it more suitable for a wide variety of applications. One major development has been reinforcement by short randomly distributed fibers that remedy weaknesses of concrete such as low crack growth resistance, high shrinkage cracking, low durability, etc. In fiber reinforced concrete, the use of one type of fiber alone helps to eliminate or reduce the effects of only a few specific undesirable properties. It is believed that the use of two or more types of fibers in a suitable combination would not only help improve more properties of concrete, but would also help provide synergy amongst the fibers. This aspect of combining the fibers, i.e. hybridizing the fibers in a rational manner to derive maximum benefits, was studied in this thesis. High performance fiber reinforced concrete, with a matrix strength of about 85 MPa was used. An attempt was made to make the concrete suitable for practical use, with the required workability, air content, density, etc. This was achieved by making use of proper admixtures including silica fume, superplasticizers and an air entraining agent. The amount and type of fibers to be used in the hybrid composites were planned such that the synergistic behavior of the fibers could be evaluated. The basic property of the hybridized material that was evaluated and analyzed extensively was the flexural toughness of the material. The various fiber types used in diverse combinations included macro and micro fibers of steel, polypropylene and carbon. Control mixes, single fiber reinforced concrete mixes, double fiber hybrids and triple fiber hybrids were investigated. Along with flexural toughness, the size effect of micro fibers, plastic shrinkage resistance, pull-out response of a single macro fiber, impact and shear were also studied. Research clearly indicated that there was synergy associated with many fiber types. In particular 2 denier micro polypropylene fibers, when hybridized with the polypropylene macro fibers (HPP) and carbon micro fibers demonstrated maximum synergy. Although significant synergy was observed, it is believed that the synergy is underpredicted in our tests. The minimum volume fraction of macro fibers used for any of the mixes was 0.5% and it appears that this macro fiber volume fraction is too high to observe maximized synergy in the hybrids. This amount of fiber appears to be high enough to make the post peak response of the matrix insensitive to the addition of small dosages of other fibers, such as micro fibers.

description: RESUMEN - En este artículo se aborda la problemática que plantea la recuperación del acuífero Mancha Occidental en el que existe una importante externalidad ambiental que se deriva de la relación entre las reservas de agua existentes en el acuífero y los humedales Tablas de Daimiel. Para ello, se desarrollan varios modelos de programación matemática que permiten evaluar distintos instrumentos de gestión para guiar la recuperación del acuífero a un estado sostenible. Los resultados obtenidos permiten al menos cuestionar la extendida regla de Gisser-Sánchez y revelan que las ganancias derivadas de la gestión óptima pueden ser significativas. En segundo lugar, las cuotas constantes por explotación se revelan como el instrumento menos eficiente tanto desde la perspectiva económica como ambiental. Además, se demuestra que un sistema de pagos aplicado como un instrumento compensador de un sistema de cuotas puede plantear conflictos con el paso del tiempo, ya que los pagos van a suponer una compensación cada vez menor de las pérdidas impuestas por las cuotas, a medida que el nivel freático se recupere. Por último, se demuestra que la gestión a través de un banco de aguas contribuiría a reconciliar los intereses de los agricultores con la conservación de los humedales. SUMMARY - This research focuses on the particular problem that emerges in overexploited aquifers when environmental externalities are present. This is the case of Mancha Occidental where environmental externalities derive from the interrelation of groundwater reserves and the preservation of Tablas de Daimiel wetlands. Several mathematical programming models are developed to evaluate alternative groundwater management policies aimed to assure the preservation of the wetlands. The results permit to argue that the Gisser-Sánchez rule, which states that gains derived from optimal management in groundwater are not significant, may be questionable. Moreover, the results show that differences in groundwater management policies are strongly determinant. In the first place, it has to be emphasized that a fix quota system could result in significant inefficiencies, both from the agricultural sector perspective and from the environmental perspective. Secondly, a payment system implemented to compensate the application of water quotas might cause undesired long term effects, as its relative compensation value will diminish as the aquifer's recovery level increases. Finally, the results show that a water banking system may contribute to reconcile farmers´ interest and the preservation of the wetlands.

description: Joint multi-messenger observations with gravitational waves and electromagnetic data offer new insights into the astrophysical studies of compact objects. The third Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observing run began on April 1, 2019; during the eleven months of observation, there have been 14 compact binary systems candidates for which at least one component is potentially a neutron star. Although intensive follow-up campaigns involving tens of ground and space-based observatories searched for counterparts, no electromagnetic counterpart has been detected. Following on a previous study of the first six months of the campaign, we present in this paper the next five months of the campaign from October 2019 to March 2020. We highlight two neutron star - black hole candidates (S191205ah, S200105ae), two binary neutron star candidates (S191213g and S200213t) and a binary merger with a possible neutron star and a "MassGap" component, S200115j. Assuming that the gravitational-wave candidates are of astrophysical origin and their location was covered by optical telescopes, we derive possible constraints on the matter ejected during the events based on the non-detection of counterparts. We find that the follow-up observations during the second half of the third observing run did not meet the necessary sensitivity to constrain the source properties of the potential gravitational-wave candidate. Consequently, we suggest that different strategies have to be used to allow a better usage of the available telescope time. We examine different choices for follow-up surveys to optimize sky localization coverage vs.\ observational depth to understand the likelihood of counterpart detection.

description: The AdS/CFT correspondence is a powerful tool to study the properties of conformal QCD at strong coupling in terms of a higher dimensional dual gravity theory. The power-law falloff of scattering amplitudes in the non-perturbative regime and calculable hadron spectra follow from holographic models dual to QCD with conformal behavior at short distances and confinement at large distances. String modes and fluctuations about the AdS background are identified with QCD degrees of freedom and orbital excitations at the AdS boundary limit. A description of form factors in space and time-like regions and the behavior of light-front wave functions can also be understood in terms of a dual gravity description in the interior of AdS.

On the other hand, edge computing (EC), which distributes resources to the network edge, enjoys increasing popularity in the applications with low-latency and high-reliability requirements. EC provides resources in a decentralized manner, which can respond to users' requirements faster than the normal CC, but with limited computing capacities. As both CC and EC are resource-sensitive, several big issues arise, such as how to conduct job scheduling, resource allocation, and task offloading, which significantly influence the performance of the whole system. To tackle these issues, many optimization problems have been formulated. These optimization problems usually have complex properties, such as non-convexity and NP-hardness, which may not be addressed by the traditional convex optimization-based solutions. Computational intelligence (CI), consisting of a set of nature-inspired computational approaches, recently exhibits great potential in addressing these optimization problems in CC and EC. This paper provides an overview of research problems in CC and EC and recent progresses in addressing them with the help of CI techniques. Informative discussions and future research trends are also presented, with the aim of offering insights to the readers and motivating new research directions.

description: We compute a series of three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion flows in the Kerr metric to investigate the properties of the unbound outflows that result. The overall strength of these outflows increases sharply with increasing black hole rotation rate, but a number of generic features are found in all cases. The mass in the outflow is concentrated in a hollow cone whose opening angle is largely determined by the effective potential for matter orbiting with angular momentum comparable to that of the innermost stable circular orbit. The dominant force accelerating the matter outward comes from the pressure of the accretion disk's corona. The principal element that shapes the outflow is therefore the centrifugal barrier preventing accreting matter from coming close to the rotation axis. Inside the centrifugal barrier, the cone contains very little matter and is dominated by electromagnetic fields that rotate at a rate tied closely to the rotation of the black hole. These fields carry an outward-going Poynting flux whose immediate energy source is the rotating spacetime of the Kerr black hole. When the spin parameter a/M of the black hole exceeds ~0.9, the energy carried to infinity by these outflows can be comparable to the nominal radiative efficiency predicted in the Novikov-Thorne model. Similarly, the expelled angular momentum can be comparable to that accreted by the black hole. Both the inner electromagnetic part and the outer matter part can contribute in significant fashion to the energy and angular momentum of the outflow.

description: We show how generalized quark distributions in the nucleon describe the density of polarized quarks in the impact parameter plane, both for longitudinal and transverse polarization of the quark and the nucleon. This density representation entails positivity bounds including chiral-odd distributions, which tighten the known bounds in the chiral-even sector. Using the quark equations of motion, we derive relations between the moments of chiral-odd generalized parton distributions of twist two and twist three. We exhibit the analogy between polarized quark distributions in impact parameter space and transverse momentum dependent distribution functions.

description: Resumen : En este artículo se analiza el proceso de externalización de las labores agrarias y el consiguiente desarrollo de una agricultura terciarizada. La fragmentada dimensión laboral y económica de las explotaciones agrarias determina el proceso de externalización de las tareas agrarias en la medida en que no permite ni la incorporación de innovaciones que exige el desarrollo del sistema alimentario ni la incorporación del capital humano necesario. Esta demanda ha propiciado la existencia de una red de empresas de servicios a la agricultura capaz de favorecer la incorporación de innovaciones y de aportar cualificación profesional que se ha convertido en una oportunidad de empleo en el mundo rural. La externalización de las labores agrarias comenzó con la mecanización, pero se ha ido ampliando y ahora abarca a todo tipo de trabajos. La profundización de este proceso llega incluso a la externalización de la gestión, aún incipiente, lo que altera la identidad del empresario agrario y da lugar a un cambio estructural muy importante que hay que tener en cuenta en la elaboración de la Política Agraria. Summary : This article analyses the outsourcing process of agrarian labours, which is leading to a tertiarised agriculture. The fragmented economic and occupational dimension of farms explains this outsourcing process as it makes almost impossible to incorporate the innovations and human capital that are needed by the food system own development. This demand has propitiated the existence of a network of service companies that enables the innovation introduction into the agriculture sector and the improvement of technical and professional qualifications, giving way to the possibility of increasing employment in the rural world. Outsourcing of agrarian labours began with mechanisation, but it widened and now affects to all kind of jobs. The process is deepening and it reaches even to the outsourcing of management, changing the identity of the agrarian businessman and giving cause for a very important structural change that one must take into account in the elaboration of the Agricultural Policy.

description: In this paper we deal with the issue of Lorentz symmetry breaking in quantum field theories formulated in a non-commutative space-time. We show that, unlike in some recente analysis of quantum gravity effects, supersymmetry does not protect the theory from the large Lorentz violating effects arising from the loop corrections. We take advantage of the non-commutative Wess-Zumino model to illustrate this point.

description: Analogs are nearest neighbors of the state of a system. By using analogs and their successors in time, one is able to produce empirical forecasts. Several analog forecasting methods have been used in atmospheric applications and tested on well-known dynamical systems. Although efficient in practice, theoretical connections between analog methods and dynamical systems have been overlooked. Analog forecasting can be related to the real dynamical equations of the system of interest. This study investigates the properties of different analog forecasting strategies by taking local approximations of the system's dynamics. We find that analog forecasting performances are highly linked to the local Jacobian matrix of the flow map, and that analog forecasting combined with linear regression allows to capture projections of this Jacobian matrix. The proposed methodology allows to estimate analog forecasting errors, and to compare different analog methods. These results are derived analytically and tested numerically on two simple chaotic dynamical systems.

description: We present HI and CO(1-0) interferometric observations of 10 comparable-mass interacting systems obtained at the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) millimeter array. The primary intent of this study is to investigate the response of cold gas during the early stages of collision of massive disk galaxies. The sample sources are selected based on their luminosity (M_B < -19), projected separation (5-40 kpc), and single dish CO(1-0) content (S_{CO} > 20 Jy km/s). These selection criteria result in a sample that primarily consists of systems in the early stages of an interaction or a merger. Despite this sample selection, 50% of the systems show long HI tidal tails indicative of a tidal disruption in a prograde orbit. In addition, all (4/4) of the infrared luminous pairs (LIRGs) in the sample show long HI tails, suggesting that the presence of a long HI tail can be a possible signature of enhanced star formation activity in a collision of gas-rich galaxies. More than half of the groups show a displacement of HI peaks from the stellar disks. The CO(1-0) distribution is generally clumpy and widely distributed, unlike in most IR-selected late stage mergers -- in fact, CO peaks are displaced from the stellar nucleus in 20% (4/18) of the galaxies with robust CO detection. HI and CO(1-0) Position Velocity Diagrams (PVDs) and rotation curves are also presented, and their comparison with the numerical simulation analyzed in Paper I show evidence for radial inflow and wide occurrences of nuclear molecular rings. These results are further quantified by examining physical and structural parameters derived in comparison with isolated systems in the BIMA SONG sample in our forthcoming paper.
