Financial Economics

description: Net returns from farming as measured as income less expenses as a percentage of asset value have traditionally been low. However, when capital gain from land is added in, the rate of return is competitive with other investments available in the economy. In addition, rates of return from farming have been shown to fluctuate significantly different from net returns of other investments. This means that farmers may be able to gain by reducing their risk when investing in stocks and bonds. It has also been shown that grain farmers may be able to gain by reducing their risk by investing in specialty crops, and large scale hog and cattle operations. History has shewn that bigger is almost always better when it comes to agricultural production. The number of farms in Saskatchewan has decreased since 1936. The average size of Saskatchewan farms has increased since the first census in 1906. Overtime Saskatchewan farms have shifted from small mixed farms producing many products such as grain, cattle, milk, hogs, and poultry to more specialized and larger operations producing only 2 or 3 different crops or 1 kind of livestock. Should Saskatchewan farms get bigger and specialize more or should they diversify into specialty crops, hogs, cattle, stocks, or bonds? There is no definitive answer to this question, but the information should prove to be interesting and helpful.

description: We extend the theoretical framework used of describe the $T_{cc}$ state as a molecular state of $D^* D$ and make predictions for the $D^*D^*$ and $D^*_s D^*$ systems, finding that they lead to bound states only in the $J^P=1^+$ channel. Using input needed to describe the $T_{cc}$ state, basically one parameter to regularize the loops of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, we find bound states with bindings of the order of the MeV and similar widths for $D^*D^*$ system, while the $D^{*}_s D^{*}$ system develops a strong cusp around threshold.

Subjects: Lynx workflows definition, contract analysis workflow, labour law question answering workflow, geothermal project analysis workflow

description: This report describes the final definition of the curation workflows associated with every business use case (as defined in D4.1 [LynxD41]). This process started with the initial definition provided in D4.2 [LynxD42], in which we outlined four scenarios: data protection, labour law, CE marking and geothermal energy. One of them has been put on hold (CE marking) and one of them has been adapted to cover a certain type of document (contracts). Data protection is now named contract analysis.

The specification of a workflow includes its input and output as well as the functionality it is supposed to perform: annotate or enrich a document, add a document to the knowledge base, search for information, etc. Workflows make use of the services (building blocks) to implement the required functionality. The content curation workflows for the different use cases that we prototypically implement in the project have been defined. We performed a systematic analysis of the microservices (developed in parallel) and matched them with the required functionalities for each use case.

	First, we determine the principal elements involved in each use case, i.e., the services, input and output.
	Second, we define the order in which the services have to be executed.
	Third, we identify the shared components in the different workflows.

Currently we have defined five different workflows, which are divided into two groups: (i) those that are commonly used in more than one use case; and (ii) those that are used case specifically.

	The common workflow is:

		LKG population

	The use case specific workflows are:

		Contract Analysis (OLS)
		Labour Law Question Answering (CuatreCasas)
		Geothermal Project Analysis (DNV GL)
		Geothermal Project Extended Analysis (DNV GL)

Apart from the business cases, there is the General User/Public Portal use case, which is also considered for defining specific workflows.

description: Experimental results on the dislocation dynamics in a two-dimensional plasma crystal are presented. Edge dislocations were created in pairs in lattice locations where the internal shear stress exceeded a threshold and then moved apart in the glide plane at a speed higher than the sound speed of shear waves, $C_T$. The experimental system, a plasma crystal, allowed observation of this process at an atomistic (kinetic) level. The early stage of this process is identified as a stacking fault. At a later stage, supersonically moving dislocations generated shear-wave Mach cones.

description: Single sheets of hexagonal boron nitride on transition metals provide a model system for single layer dielectrics. The progress in the understanding of h-BN layers on transition metals of the last 10 years are shortly reviewed. Particular emphasis lies on the boron nitride nanomesh on Rh(111), which is a corrugated single sheet of h-BN, where the corrugation imposes strong lateral electric fields. Fermi surface maps of h-BN/Rh(111) and Rh(111) are compared. A h-BN layer on Rh(111) introduces no new bands at the Fermi energy, which is expected for an insulator. The lateral electric fields of h-BN nanomesh violate the conservation law for parallel momentum in photoemission and smear out the momentum distribution curves on the Fermi surface.

description: Interest in epitaxial ferroelectric nanoislands was growing rapidly in recent years driven by their potential for devices, especially ultradense memories. Recent advances in the "bottom- up" (self-assembly) nanometer scale techniques have opened up the opportunities of fabricating high-quality epitaxial ferroelectric nanoislands with extremely small thickness and lateral size on the order of 1 nm and 20 nm, respectively. On the other hand, recent emergence of powerful probes, such as piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), has enabled imaging of a local domain structure with sub-10 nm resolution. In spite of those developments, a clear understanding of the polarization patterns in epitaxial ferroelectric nanoislands is lacking, and some important characteristics, like a critical lateral size for ferroelectricity, are not yet established. Here, we perform ab-initio studies of non-electroded epitaxial Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 and BaTiO3 nanoislands and show the existence of novel polarization patterns driven by the misfit strains and/or anisotropy energy. The results allow interpretation of the data and design of the ferroelectric nanostructures with tailored response to external field.

description: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is defined by the chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis is one of the most prevalent chronic IBDs. The increase in the mucosal expression of angiotensin II (AT-II) in colitis suggests a possible role of AT-II in colitis-associated inflammation. Here, we examined the potential therapeutic effects of combination therapy regarding valsartan (Val), as an AT-II receptor blocker, with sulfasalazine (SSZ) in a murine colitis model. DSS induced colitis was initiated by the administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in male C57BL/6 mice for 1 week. Val (160 mg/kg/day, gavage) was given on the third day and continued for seven days. SSZ (100 mg/kg/day) was used as reference drug and also used in combination in one group (Val; 160 mg/kg/day and/or SSZ; 100 mg/kg/day). Colonic mucosal inflammation was evaluated clinically, biochemically, and histologically. The disease activity index in DSS-treated mice, including weight loss, stool consistency, and rectal bleeding, were significantly lower in the group of mice receiving the combination of valsartan and sulfasalazine compared to the DSS-treated group. Valsartan and sulfasalazine treatment was associated with a lower reduction in colon length, diminished colon weight, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein level in mice with DSS-induced colitis. Valsartan and sulfasalazine also reduced markers of oxidative stress after DSS administration. Our findings demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities of a combination therapy with sulfasalazine and valsartan in experimentally induced colitis, indicating its value as a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of colitis.

Individual Farm Analysis Using a Simulation Model

Subjects: Farm Management

description: I FAS (Individual Farm Analysis using a Simulation model) is a system that has been developedfor the analysis of the performance of individual farms, whereby the technical and economic data of a farm can be compared with the average data of a group offarms. The analysis of the deviation in farm performance from the average performance is done in two stages. First the deviation is analysed as quantitatively as possible by means of a simulation model using input data of the farm and the average input data of the group. Then an expert is called on to analyse the remainder of the deviation, i.e. the part of the deviation not explained by the model The remaining part is the deviation in farm performance from the average performance of the group, correctedfor the effects of differences in farm inputs used in the simulation model. Using a simulation model enables individual farm analysis to be done partly quantitatively - depending on the degree of detail of the model and the accounting system and their mutual correspondence - and makes it easier for the analysis of the remainder of the deviation.

Wakefield Acceleration by Radiation Pressure in Relativistic Shock Waves

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A particle acceleration mechanism by radiation pressure of precursor waves in a relativistic shock is studied. For a relativistic, perpendicular shock with the upstream bulk Lorentz factor of $γ_1 \gg 1$, large amplitude electromagnetic (light) waves are known to be excited in the shock front due to the synchrotron maser instability, and those waves can propagate towards upstream as precursor waves. We find that non-thermal, high energy electrons and ions can be quickly produced by an action of electrostatic wakefields generated by the ponderomotive force of the precursor waves. The particles can be quickly accelerated up to $ε_{\rm max}/γ_1 m_e c^2 \sim γ_1$ in the upstream coherent wakefield region, and they can be further accelerated during the nonlinear stage of the wakefield evolution. The maximum attainable energy is estimated by $ε_{\rm max}/γ_1 m_e c^2 \sim L_{\rm sys}/(c/ω_{pe})$, where $L_{\rm sys}$ and $c/ω_{pe}$ are the size of an astrophysical object and the electron inertial length, respectively.

Pinter’s strangers
Creators: name: Worthington, Bonnie Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis concerns itself with the study of a single recurring character in Pinter's work whom I define as the stranger. The thesis asserts that Pinter's use of the stranger figure, in its many varied forms, is the central motif of each of his major works. Pinter employs the stranger as a character to epitomize much larger fears than can normally be attributed to one person alone: fear of strangers, intrusion, the past, the future, loneliness, estrangement, death. Thus, Pinter uses such fears to catalyse the dramatic actions of his plays. The study includes all of Pinter's major plays from "The Room" through "No Man's Land", and progresses chronologically, tracing Pinter's developing sophistication in the use of this motif. The thesis consists of an introduction, in which I define the term stranger as used in this study; five chapter divisions, based on the progression of major variations in Pinter's exploration of this motif; and a conclusion, which points out the cyclical nature of Pinter's work from "The Room" through "No Man's Land". The conclusion also summarizes the over-all trends of Pinter's work, from his early dependence on physicality, through his intellectual period, to the almost entirely psychological final phase. The five chapters explore Pinter's work play by play, following the progress of his use of the stranger. After his initial, rather overt use of this motif, Pinter quickly moves into more subtle and complex handling of this figure, splitting the stranger into two characters, creating confusion over "Who is the stranger?", switching the role of stranger from one character to another through the course of the play, discovering estrangement as an inevitability of the human condition, and returning at last (with all the preceding nuances incorporated) to the stranger as a single character. At its skeletal minimum, the argument of the thesis is that Pinter has based all of his major dramatic works on essentially the same dramatic action. It is the variations and disguises he has given the formula, the inventions, discoveries, and machinations of this single motif with which this thesis is concerned.

description: The Darkan farm Management Advisory Service (DFMAS) was formed in 1960 by a group of farmers near Darkan Western Australia, to employ a consultant and provide members with farm management advice. Members have enjoyed huge success over the period and now rank among the most efficient wool growers in the world. Merino wool growing beingtheir production of choice.
The early progress was spectacular; consolidation has been sure and steady. The future presents the real challenge of improving an already hyper efficient business. Other Extension, consulting. Co-operative situations attempt to achieve what the service already has - a cohesive independent group of farmers who aspire to excellence using consultants to assist them to achieve their aims. There is an informal group discipline and loyalty that when harnessed enables progress to be achieved on many fronts and in particular Quality Assurance and group marketing. The group is likely to continue into the foreseeable future as the ultimate in farm management advice and extension delivery.

description: Since the beginning of the eighties prices received by farmers have decreased sharply in Brazil The country economy was relatively closed to the rest of the world with just a small percentage of its GDP going to foreign countries. Beginning in the early nineties, the economy started a process of opening its frontiers to foreign trade. This study addresses the problem situation of how farmers adjusted their business to the new competitive environment they faced. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of farmers of the Vera Cruz and Garca regions of Sao Paulo State who have been farming since 1980. The region, initially specialized in coffee production, changed into a more diversified area. Other findings show that several modern management techniques were used, both to maintain profits and to reduce risks associated with farming, as a result of increased competition.

description: The focus of this paper is the phenomenon of rigidity for measure-preserving actions of countable discrete abelian groups and its interactions with weak mixing and recurrence. We prove that results about $\mathbb{Z}$-actions extend to this setting: 1. If $(a_n)$ is a rigidity sequence for an ergodic measure-preserving system, then it is a rigidity sequence for some weakly mixing system. 2. There exists a sequence $(r_n)$ such that every translate is both a rigidity sequence and a set of recurrence. The first of these results was shown for $\mathbb{Z}$-actions by Adams, Fayad and Thouvenot, and Badea and Grivaux. The latter was established in $\mathbb{Z}$ by Griesmer. While techniques for handling $\mathbb{Z}$-actions play a key role in our proofs, additional ideas must be introduced for dealing with groups with multiple generators. As an application of our results, we give several new constructions of rigidity sequences in torsion groups. Some of these are parallel to examples of rigidity sequences in $\mathbb{Z}$, while others exhibit new phenomena.

description: Family farms prevail in Croatian agriculture with majority of resources and production and according to experiences of developed countries we consider family farm income as a crucial matter for their development. As a step in solving this problem a long term project "Farm Survey" has been started at national level, based on theoretic issues and methodology of farm and agricultural statisticsfrom EV and FAO systems as well as on our previous experience. Survey has been carried out on 892family farms as a representative sample. Intention is to develop the project to the level of continuous farm business monitoring system in Croatia. First results show the majority of surveyed households with family fanns have some additional activities beside farming. Average value of the farm assets is US$ 112,000 with 9.93 ha of used land. All family farms generate US$ 13,207 of revenues from agriculture in average while costs amount to US$ 9,984 per year. Gross income from farming amounts to US$ 3,223 in average and net income of household totals US$ 8,529. It is more than obvious that household income is in more than 50% compound of income outside agriculture.
Profitability measured by relation of gross agricultural income and farm value is 3,88% in average, while net household income reaches 13,17% of totalfarm value in average.

description: Fertilization in the sugar industry has entered a new era with the introduction of services that will enable growers to precisely match field crop nutrient requirements to the best technically optimized agronomic advice available. The “Kynoman” fertilizer optimization computer programme is leading edge technology developed in conjunction with and backed by the Sugar Experiment Station (SASEX). “Kynoman” enables farmers to base fertilizer recommendations on fertilizer response curves according to specific climate, soil, financial and risk perceptions.
One is able to source at best cost the ideal blend for each individual field namely, “Field Exact Blends”. This implies precision fertilizing and maximizing profits through preventing over or under applications of NPK nutrients. To solve a further management problem of having to recalibrate applicators for the different blends, the “Field Exact Blends” can be formulated to be “Ratematched” “Ratematching” provides the grower with any number of different blends at the same application rate per hectare This helps to make the fertilization process hassle-free. “Kynoman” provides recommendations which are “Field Exact” and can be “Ratematched” to achieve not only the best performance possible from the fertiliser, but also the best value

description: CERN-LHC. This paper reports the measurement of inclusive jet cross sections in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV using a data sample of integrated luminosity of 0.20 pb-1 collected in 2011. Jets are identified using the anti-kt algorithm with two radius parameters (0.4 and 0.6). The cross sections are presented as a function of the jet transverse momentum and rapidity covering jets from 20-430 GeV in transverse momentum and |rapidity| < 4.4. The data are also compared with previous ATLAS 7 TeV cross sections as functions of PT and XT. The main tables below show the results correlated and uncorrelated systematic errors individually combined, as presented in the plots in the paper. The first table below gives access to the complete tables with the various sources of systematic error individually presented. Correlations over the rapidity bins and to the 7 TeV data are shown in table 1 of the paper and repeated below. Note added (27 JUN 2014): The central values of the (2.76 TeV)/(7 TeV) cross-section ratios reported in Tables 15-42 below should be multiplied by a factor of 1/1.0187 to take into account the updated value of the integrated luminosity for the ATLAS 2010 data taking period. The uncertainty on the global normalisation ("Lumi") for the 7 TeV cross sections increases slightly from 3.4% to 3.5%. See Eur.Phys.J. C73 (2013) 2518 for more details. The 7 TeV Lumi uncertainty is added in quadrature to the 2.76 TeV Lumi uncertainty (2.7%) in the cross-section ratios, leading to a slight increase in the Lumi uncertainty on the cross-section ratios from sqrt(2.7**2+3.4**2)=4.3% to sqrt(2.7**2+3.5**2)=4.4%.
Decision Support System of Economic Tools for Managing Feed Production

Year: 1999
Subjects: Farm Management

description: There are large variations in the production costs per unit in feed production at farm level. The advisory service wants to focus on cheap feed production as a key for farmers who want to be able to compete in the future. This is the background for a project at the Norwegian Agricultural Economics Research Institute to develop a decision support system for managing feed production. The main objective for the work has been to develop better tools for analysis and planning ofproduction and use offeed.
The developed system has four modules: one for cultivation and growing, one for calculation of feed consumption, one for use of machinery, storing and feeding, and one for economical co-ordination. The co-ordinating module can use data directly from the farm, from farm management pocketbooks, or from the other modules (sub-modules). The co-ordinating module provides complete analysis and planning of the whole farm.

description: We investigate experimentally the influence of current flow through two independent quantum point contacts to a nearby double quantum dot realized in a GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure. The observed current through the double quantum dot can be explained in terms of coupling to a bosonic bath. The temperature of the bath depends on the power generated by the current flow through the quantum point contact. We identify the dominant absorption and emission mechanisms in a double quantum dot as an interaction with acoustic phonons. The experiment excludes coupling of a double quantum dot to shot noise generated by quantum point contact as the dominant mechanism.

description: We present a picture of hard processes in a hot plasma in terms of the hard scale part of the process, where perturbative QCD should be applicable, and the soft scale part of the process, where we look to the AdS/CFT correspondence for guidance to possible strong effective coupling phenomena. In particular we estimate $\hat{q}$, the transport coefficient, supposing that at soft scales partons in the plasma all cascade to small-$x$-values as indicated by strong coupling SYM theory.

description: Guided depth super-resolution is a practical task where a low-resolution and noisy input depth map is restored to a high-resolution version, with the help of a high-resolution RGB guide image. Existing methods usually view this task as a generalized guided filtering problem that relies on designing explicit filters and objective functions, or a dense regression problem that directly predicts the target image via deep neural networks. These methods suffer from either model capability or interpretability. Inspired by the recent progress in implicit neural representation, we propose to formulate the guided super-resolution as a neural implicit image interpolation problem, where we take the form of a general image interpolation but use a novel Joint Implicit Image Function (JIIF) representation to learn both the interpolation weights and values. JIIF represents the target image domain with spatially distributed local latent codes extracted from the input image and the guide image, and uses a graph attention mechanism to learn the interpolation weights at the same time in one unified deep implicit function. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our JIIF representation on guided depth super-resolution task, significantly outperforming state-of-the-art methods on three public benchmarks.

description: The agriculture industry continues to adopt business practices based on strategic alliances. Generally these alliances emphasize vertical coordination wherein producers enter into long-term agreements with suppliers, processors, and businesses in other sectors of the food and fiber industry. Alternatively, producers should explore initiating horizontal linkages; that is, strategic alliances among producers. Sharing ownershiv of seasonal equipment, multi-year land rotations among specialized farm operations and sharing ownership of several farm businesses are strategies that can offer production and marketing efficiencies, as well as risk management opportunities

A numerical simulation of the evolution and fate of a FRI jet. The case of 3C 31

description: The evolution of FRI jets has been long studied in the framework of the FRI-FRII dichotomy. In this paper, we test the present theoretical and observational models via a relativistic numerical simulation of the jets in the radio galaxy 3C 31. We use the parameters derived from the modelling presented by \cite{lb02a,lb02b} as input parameters for the simulation of the evolution of the source, thus assuming that they have not varied over the lifetime of the source. We simulate about 10 % of the total lifetime of the jets in 3C 31. Realistic density and pressure gradients for the atmosphere are used. The simulation includes an equation of state for a two-component relativistic gas that allows a separate treatment of leptonic and baryonic matter. We compare our results with the modelling of the observational data of the source. Our results show that the bow shock evolves self-similarly at a quasi-constant speed, with slight deceleration by the end of the simulation, in agreement with recent X-ray observations that show the presence of bow shocks in FRI sources. The jet expands until it becomes underpressured with respect to the ambient medium, and then recollimates. Subsequent oscillations around pressure equilibrium and generation of standing shocks lead to the mass loading and disruption of the jet flow. We derive an estimate for the minimum age of the source of $t>1. 10^8 \rm{yrs}$, which may imply continuous activity of 3C 31 since the triggering of its activity. The simulation shows that weak CSS sources may be the young counterparts of FRIs. We conclude that the observed properties of the jets in 3C 31 are basically recovered by the standing shock scenario.

Local taxes and urban spatial development
Creators: name: Hyndman, Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Policy makers have tended to ignore the connection between local fiscal policy and urban development, in spite of the fact that taxation influences development and is entirely under the control of the public sector. Through a review of the literature, this thesis provides a theoretical analysis of the effects on spatial patterns of development of the existing property tax and of a number of alternative taxes. It is concluded that the existing property tax contributes to urban sprawl by distorting the market in two ways. The portion of the tax levied on improvements depresses investment in repairs and construction. A shift to a tax solely on land or location values should increase the intensity of land use. Because the property tax is not directly related to the benefits and costs of supplying services, especially those that are density and distance related, private locational decisions are made without regard for public expenditures. Marginal cost pricing, through multi-part tariffs and specific project betterment levies, for financing extensions of services to new development on the urban periphery, would produce more compact forms of expansion. Several forms of taxes particularly applicable to the urban periphery have the potential to increase control over new development. Betterment levies, in the form of land value increment and progressive development value taxes, induce earlier development. Of the various preferential taxes for agricultural and open space lands, use value assessment with a flat rate tax penalty, independent of development value and levied upon change of use, is the most effective in delaying development. A tax system incorporating these alternatives to the property tax has the potential to increase the intensity of land use in developed areas, to promote infill within scattered development, and to reduce the premature conversion of peripheral land. These tax reforms combined with traditional planning controls offer greater consistency between fiscal and planning policies.

description: Integrated technological packages were generally found more technically and economically efficient than individually adopted techniques. However, costs are more crucial for small farmers ' choice of adopted techniques than profits gained when marketing. Hence, they may prefer cost effective rather than profit maximizing techniques. As such, benefit-cost ratios criterion of choice would be more appropriate than net revenue (profit) for small producers, as more reflexive to costs magnitudes. On the other hand, training for more efficient application beside cooperation cutting down costs may encourage high technology adoption.

description: A case study approach was used to apply a strategic planning process to a family farm to identify the growth required for the business to survive and achieve long term goals. To develop growth strategies for success, past and current business performance was evaluated and business and family goals identified The analysis indicated that its current performance would not meet the needs or fulfil the goals of the family in the medium to long-term. The family required a compound, real increase in equity of 3.18% per year to achieve its long-term goal. Methods were explored by which this could be achieved while at the same time providing for the changing needs of the family’s lifecycle.
