description: Coming-out stellt insbesondere für lesbische und schwule Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene eine relevante Aushandlung mit Umfeld und Welt dar. Der Beitrag untersucht das Erleben und Gestalten dieser Praxis. Die Sekundäranalyse 19 problemzentrierter Interviews zeigt, dass Coming-out als Problem des Spektakels hervorhebender Dramatisierung und des unausweichlichen Drucks gedeutet wird. Strategien der Heteronormalisierung, der Usurpation und der Aussetzung der Seinsrelation reagieren auf diese Problematisierungen und setzen sie teilweise außer Kraft. Die Fallstricke der Sichtbarkeit als Politikum, Authentizitätsanforderung und unhintergehbare Tatsache verweisen dabei auf eine gesellschaftliche Wandlung – eine Transformation der Ökonomie der Sichtbarkeit. Trotz – oder gerade wegen – der Vielzahl sich outender Stars und Aktivist_innen, Familien- und Freundschaftserzählungen sind nicht Lesbisch- und Schwul-Sein selbstverständlicher geworden, sondern die Praxis des Comingouts. Der Akt der Herstellung von Sichtbarkeit hat eine Eigenständigkeit entwickelt und ist nun selbst Zeichen der Homosexualität.

description: We study the evolution, under convex Hamiltonian flows on cotangent bundles of compact manifolds, of certain distinguished subsets of the phase space. These subsets are generalizations of Lagrangian graphs, we call them pseudographs. They emerge in a natural way from Fathi's weak KAM theory. By this method, we find various orbits which connect prescribed regions of the phase space. Our study is inspired by works of John Mather. As an application, we obtain the existence of diffusion in a large class of a priori unstable systems and provide a solution to the large gap problem. We hope that our method will have applications to more examples.

description: Als Technology of Gender im Sinne von Teresa de Lauretis (1988) steht Modeln im Zeichen des kulturell konstruierten und gesellschaftlich ausgetragenen Weiblichen. Gerade im Kontext dieses geschlechtlich so deutlich markierten Handlungsraums werden gegenwärtig Genderstereotype dekonstruiert und Identitäten infrage gestellt. Dieser Beitrag fokussiert aus modetheoretischer Perspektive auf die kulturelle Rolle des Models. Er setzt sich mit der These auseinander, dass es zu einer prägenden „Sozialfigur der Gegenwart“ im Sinne von Stephan Moebius und Markus Schroer (2010) geworden ist. Als solche adressiert das Model durch seine breit aufgefächerte, intertextuelle bzw. intermediale Präsenz grundlegende Fragen bezüglich der gegenwärtigen Relation zwischen Mode und Identitätskonstruktionen.

description: A team of U.S. analysts visited China to assess the potential for use of distillers dried grain plus solubles (DDGS) in China’s livestock sector. They examined the economics of the use of DDGS in feeds, the policy issues surrounding the use of the product, and transportation-logistic constraints in the expansion of DDGS imports. The team collected actual and secondary data to conduct a micro-economic analysis of the impact of DDGS on feed cost, solicited official and expert opinions through interviews, and conducted site visits. They found the development of the DDGS import market in China to be very promising. The microeconomic analysis showed a clear economic incentive for feed millers and livestock producers to use DDGS in their feed ration, with a potential savings of $1 per hundredweight of mixed feed, representing a 6% feed cost savings. Moreover, China has the livestock numbers to support a DDGS market. Concerns about myctoxin contamination and nutrient profile variability must be addressed, however. Clearly differentiating imported DDGS from domestic DDGS is key in positioning U.S. DDGS in the Chinese market. Also, a science-based, and pro-active approach is needed to address policy-induced barriers.

description: We perform a study of fluid motions and its temporal evolution in and around a small bipolar emerging flux region using observations made by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on-board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We employ local correlation tracking of the Doppler observations to follow horizontal fluid motions and line-of-sight magnetograms to follow the flux emergence. Changes in vertical vorticity and horizontal divergence are used to derive signatures of evolving twists in the magnetic field. Our analysis reveals that the two polarities of the magnetic flux swirl in opposite directions in early stages of flux emergence indicating an unwinding of the pre-emergence twists in the magnetic field. We further find that during the emergence, there is an increase in swirly motions in the neighbouring non-magnetic regions. We estimate the magnetic and kinetic energies and find that magnetic energy is about a factor of ten larger than the kinetic energy. During the evolution, when the magnetic energy decreases, an increase in the kinetic energy is observed indicating transfer of energy from the unwinding of magnetic flux tube to the surrounding fluid motions. Our results thus demonstrate the presence of pre-emergence twists in emerging magnetic field that is important in the context of the hemispheric helicity rule warranting a detailed statistical study in this context. Further, our observations point to a possible widespread generation of torsional waves in emerging flux regions due to the untwisting magnetic field with implications for upward energy transport to the corona.

description: The existence of an appropriate institutional framework pertaining to the financial system in agriculture, that will support efficient financial mediation, reduce transaction costs, and facilitate the farmers’ access to loaned capital on favourable terms, is considered to be an essential step as regards the course of competitiveness in Greek agriculture. This paper is based on an empirical study on a sample of farmers. The aim of this research study is to examine the farmers’ satisfaction with current structures and services related to agricultural credit, as provided in Greece at present. On a second level, this objective of this paper is to develop a typology of farmers, based on their satisfaction structures (by a methodological scheme based on Principal Axes Factoring (PAF), Hierarchical and K-Means Cluster Analysis). The results of this typology will allow for conclusions and proposals to be deduced, regarding the potential for improving agricultural credit, with the growth of the agricultural sector as the ultimate aim. The PAF highlighted five factors-dimensions that can be used to analyze the farmers’ satisfaction with agricultural credit. The first and most important factor is linked to the financial terms of credit and to transaction costs. The second focuses on the human aspect of services, on facilities and equipment. The third factor pertains to the possibility of receiving such services on a personal basis. The fourth is linked to the terms of lending, and the fifth factor exclusively defines the particular properties of agricultural credit.
Optical properties of bialkali photocathodes

description: The optical properties of the `bialkali' KCsSb and RbCsSb photomultiplier cathodes have been experimentally investigated in the visible range. The measurements carried out include the absolute reflectance at near-normal incidence, the polarization-dependent relative reflectance at various angles and the change in polarization upon reflection from the photocathode. These experimental inputs have been combined with a theoretical model to determine the complex refractive index of the photocathodes in the wavelength range 380 to 680 nm and their thickness. As a result of this work, we derive a model which predicts the fraction of light impinging on a photomultiplier tube that is reflected, absorbed or transmitted, as a function of wavelength and angle, and dependent on the medium to which the photomultiplier is coupled.

description: Constructing adversarial examples in a black-box threat model injures the original images by introducing visual distortion. In this paper, we propose a novel black-box attack approach that can directly minimize the induced distortion by learning the noise distribution of the adversarial example, assuming only loss-oracle access to the black-box network. The quantified visual distortion, which measures the perceptual distance between the adversarial example and the original image, is introduced in our loss whilst the gradient of the corresponding non-differentiable loss function is approximated by sampling noise from the learned noise distribution. We validate the effectiveness of our attack on ImageNet. Our attack results in much lower distortion when compared to the state-of-the-art black-box attacks and achieves $100\%$ success rate on InceptionV3, ResNet50 and VGG16bn.

It can reveal itself as peaks in the pseudorapidity distribution of jets at midrapidities or as a ring-like structure of individual events in event-by-event analysis. The pseudorapidity distribution of centers of dense isolated groups of particles in HIJING model is determined. It can be considered as the background for Cherenkov gluons. If peaks above this background were found in experiment, they would indicate new collective effects.

description: A szerzők vizsgálataiban a direkt és az indirekt környezetpolitikai eszközök hatását számszerűsítették két mezőgazdasági vállalkozásra. Ennek alapján meg-állapították, hogy – a tapasztalt hiányosságok ellenére – a vállalatok tevékenysé-ge a korábbi időszakokhoz képest környezettudatosabbá vált. Ez elsősorban a direkt környezetpolitikai eszközöknek köszönhető; megvalósult a veszélyes és nem veszélyes hulladékok kezelése. A jelenlegi szabályozás (Nitrát Rendelet) a hígtrágyakezelő berendezések létesítési és működtetési költségei miatt verseny-hátrányba sodorja azokat az állattartó vállalkozásokat, amelyek nitrátérzékeny területen helyezkednek el. Az indirekt környezetpolitikai eszközök egyre növekvő számuk és mértékük ellenére sem gyakoroltak nyomást a vállalati vezetésre, nem ösztönöztek a környezetre káros inputtényezők felhasználásának mérséklésére. Forrásteremtő szerepük azonban érvényesült, a vállalkozásoktól elvont összegek a vizsgálat éveiben növekedtek, ami a mezőgazdasági vállalatok amúgy sem magas jövedelemtermelő képességének további csökkenését okozta. - In our research we examined the effects of direct and indirect economic instru-ments on two agricultural companies. We established that the farms’ operations have become more environmentally-friendly in the last few years. Due to the direct regulations, both farms’ waste management has fulfilled the environmental protection regulations and manure storage facilities can also be found at animal colonies. However, the Nitrate Directive can cause competitive disadvantages for animal colonies situated in nitrate sensitive areas by increasing the cost of manure disposal. The indirect economic instruments, despite their growing number and degree, have not influenced the decision-making of the managers concerning envi-ronmentally harmful input reduction. However, these economic instruments have made the farms’ financial position worse.
Short-term survival after radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of the lung in swine model
Creators: name: Salem, Mir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation utilizes a high frequency alternating current to create coagulation necrosis. Radiofrequency ablation has been extensively studied in many organs, and in the last few years, investigators have been to understand the effects and safety of RF ablation in lung tissue. Porcine and rabbit models have been used in the past to evaluate the immediate effects of RFA in lung tissue. This is the first series of RFA efficacy in a large animal model to evaluate short-term survival and early complications due to RFA. Material and Method: Fifteen domestic female swine were divided into two groups. The experimental group underwent radiofrequency ablation of the right lung with the target temperature above 70 C° for at least 5 minutes. In the control group, same method was used, but no RFA energy was delivered. All animals were assessed for vital signs, activity level, respiratory manifestations, general well-being, chest-tube drainage, and surgical wound healing for thirty days. On day 30, animals were sacrificed and their lungs ware examined for morphological changes. Results: The mean values for power, impedance and temperature were 23.63 ± 8.24 W, 88.15 ± 17.87 Q, and 72.51 ± 8.66°C, respectively. There was no significant difference in vitals signs and general well-being between the two groups. Only the experimental group showed evidence of respiratory distress, which was noticed mainly on the day of procedure. Air leakage and pleural adhesions were major finding in both groups. No evidence of purulent pleural effusion or pneumonia was observed. Gross examination showed a central necrotic area with a surrounding fibrous pseudocapsule and neovascularization. Important histological features of RF lesions were circumscribed congested necrotic parenchyma, granulation tissue, fibrosis, and vascular thrombosis. Conclusion: Radiofrequency ablation of lung tissue can be achieved in a safe manner with negligible morbidity and no mortality. There was no intra-operative mortality, and the post-operative recovery time was fast and uneventful. Although respiratory distress and pleural adhesions were common findings, they were comparable with any intrathoracic procedure. Pathological examination indicates that RFA causes coagulation necrosis, formation of granulation tissue and tendency for absorption in a predictable fashion.

description: A special class of orbits known to exist around a Kerr black hole are spherical orbits -- orbits with constant coordinate radii that are not necessarily confined to the equatorial plane. Spherical time-like orbits were first studied by Wilkins almost 50 years ago. In the present paper, we perform a systematic and thorough study of these orbits, encompassing and extending previous works on them. We first present simplified forms for the parameters of these orbits. The parameter space of these orbits is then analysed in detail; in particular, we delineate the boundaries between stable and unstable orbits, bound and unbound orbits, and prograde and retrograde orbits. Finally, we provide analytic solutions of the geodesic equations, and illustrate a few representative examples of these orbits.

title: The impact of board composition, characteristics, and leadership structure on strategic decisions: a case of Kuwait’s national oil company
Creators: name: Alshamali, Nour
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: This study explains how board composition, board characteristics and board leadership structure impact strategic decisions in the board of the Kuwait Petroleum Company. Corporate governance is conceptualized here as conflict between two principals, the Kuwait Parliament and the Executive. This conflict is posited to have shifted into the board, becoming a conflict among board members, due to their loyalty to either principal. Viewed from an agency perspective, this conflict causes conflict of interests and information asymmetry, which affect strategic decisions. Using a qualitative research design, 30 in-depth interviews were conducted with existing and former board members of the KPC. These semi-structured interviews yielded the respondent board members’ perceptions of the impact of issues of governance, and their proposed alignment solutions. The findings explain how tenure/experience, altruism/patriotism, board independence, recruitment, turnover and political influence effected strategic decisions in the KPC. Findings also suggest how role duality, cultural influence, incentive schemes and monitoring/voting impact the strategic decisions of the KPC. In addition, the proposals for alignment of interests made by respondents, have implications, which are the basis of recommendations made for policy in the KPC. Study limitations are possibility of biased responses, and imperfect recall, by respondents; as well as the generalizability of findings. Suggested future research include conducting longitudinal research for more in-depth data comparisons to other regional contexts and investigating the impact of women in boards. This research contributes to the literature of boards as a mechanism of corporate governance, and to the literature on NOC governance. It also extends multiple agency theory, by conceptualizing board members as agents of two external political interests. Chapter 1 introduces the thesis, 2 reviews the literature, and 3 presents the research design. Chapter 4 presents the findings, while 5 discusses this with theory. Chapter 6 concludes with limitations and suggests future research.

description: Az utóbbi évtized legdrámaibb hatású gazdasági-társadalmi változása a nyílt munkanélküliség megjelenése volt. A munkanélküliség differenciáltan sújtotta a különböző rétegeket, a nemzetgazdasági ágazatokat, illetve az ország egyes tér-ségeit. A nemzetközi tapasztalatok szerint a távlati munkaerő-prognózisok igyekez-nek világosan kifejezni a foglalkoztatáspolitika és az oktatáspolitika közötti kölcsönhatásokat és érdekeket. A magyarországi munkanélküliek elhelyezkedésének nehézségei és a munkaerőforrás képzési szerkezetének torzulása az oktatás intézményi válságára utal. Ezzel összefüggésben a legfontosabb teendők közé tartozik a képzési rendszer korszerűsítése, amelyet a tankötelezettség jelenleginél következetesebb érvényesítése mellett, a mainál rugalmasabb szerkezetű iskolarendszer jellemez. - The most dramatic socio-economic change of the past decade has been the ap-pearance of overt unemployment. Unemployment affected different social strata, national economic sectors and some areas of the country in a differentiated manner. According to international experience, long-term labour market prognoses attempt to clearly state the mutual effects and interests of employment policy and education policy. In modern society the education system is inseparably connected to other social sub-systems; not only to culture and science, but to economics as well as to the political and public administration systems. This connection means that changes in education directly influence the operation of the other subsystems, including employment policy, and these changes then have repercussions on education. The difficulties of Hungary’s unemployed in finding jobs and the distortion of the training mechanism for labour resources point to an institutional crisis in education. Among the most important tasks connected to this is modernisation of the training system, which, in addition to a more consistent enforcement of compulsory education than at present, is characterised by a school system with a more flexible structure than today’s.

title: The effects of wild blueberry on the cognition and mood of 7-10 year old children
Creators: name: Barfoot, Katie Louise
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2018

description: Wild blueberry (WBB) intervention has previously been demonstrated to have beneficial acute cognitive effects in typically developing (TD) children, however it is unclear whether effects persist chronically. This thesis examined the acute (2 h) and chronic (4 week) effects of WBB (253mg anthocyanins) on the cognition and mood of 7-10 year old children, and aimed to extend behavioural data to elucidate the mechanisms by which effects might occur, using event-related potentials (ERPs) and 24 h urinary metabolite analyses. Initially, acute effects were examined in a TD sample (n=54), where cognition and mood were assessed at baseline and 2 h post-consumption. WBB attenuated forgetting, quickened reaction time (RT) on fast trials, and improved positive affect. Following this, TD children (n=14) completed cognitive and mood measures 2 h following treatment, concurrent with ERP, using a crossover design. Improved accuracy and RT were seen on cognitively demanding incongruent trials following WBB. Remarkably, these effects occurred simultaneously with higher electrophysiological activation in frontal brain areas associated with increased inhibitory function. Mood effects were not replicated. Acute and chronic effects were then investigated in TD children (n=23), and in a sub-sample of children with ADHD (n=10) at baseline, 2 h, 2 weeks and 4 weeks. WBB-related acute improvements included faster RT on fast trials across populations, and attenuated forgetting for children with ADHD. Chronic executive function (EF) benefits persisted on cognitively demanding high load trials in both populations. In a final experiment, chronic WBB-related improvements were seen on cognitively demanding incongruent trials in TD children (n=15). Chronic urinary metabolite analyses indicated specific WBB increases in benzoic, vanillic and ferulic acid derivatives across 4 weeks. Taken together, findings demonstrate cognitive improvements can be seen across acute and chronic WBB intervention in TD children aged 7-10, and preliminarily for those with ADHD. The research also shows 24 h WBB bioavailability in a child cohort for the first time, highlighting metabolites that may cross the blood-brain-barrier and exert cognitive effects. Results add to the evidence that suggests flavonoids may be sensitive to cognitive demand, and novel ERP data implies effects may be mediated by increases in inhibition-related neuronal activation.

description: We present radiative transfer simulations for blue kilonovae hours after neutron star (NS) mergers by performing detailed opacity calculations for the first time. We calculate atomic structures and opacities of highly ionized elements (up to the tenth ionization) with atomic number Z = 20 - 56. We find that the bound-bound transitions of heavy elements are the dominant source of the opacities in the early phase (t < 1 day after the merger), and that the ions with a half-closed electron shell provide the highest contributions. The Planck mean opacity for lanthanide-free ejecta (with electron fraction of Ye = 0.30 - 0.40) can only reach around kappa ~ 0.5 - 1 cm^2 g^-1 at t = 0.1 day, whereas that increases up to kappa ~ 5 - 10 cm^2 g^-1 at t = 1 day. The spherical ejecta model with an ejecta mass of Mej = 0.05Msun gives the bolometric luminosity of ~ 2 x 10^42 erg s^-1 at t ~ 0.1 day. We confirm that the existing bolometric and multi-color data of GW170817 can be naturally explained by the purely radioactive model. The expected early UV signals reach 20.5 mag at t ~ 4.3 hours for sources even at 200 Mpc, which is detectable by the facilities such as Swift and the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT). The early-phase luminosity is sensitive to the structure of the outer ejecta, as also pointed out by Kasen et al. (2017). Therefore, the early UV observations give strong constraints on the structure of the outer ejecta as well as the presence of a heating source besides r-process nuclei.

New enterprises were established as a result of the changes in ownership and customers’ habits. Foreign capital entering Hungary caused significant changes in the economy within a single decade. Because of the significant multiplier effects of foreign capital, new controlling systems, new approaches to work, new services and a new financial background were established. Among the economic sectors of Lake Balaton’s Resort Areas the development is mostly observable in the retail trade. Retail chains and shopping centres own modern equipment and provide a satisfactory selection, through external capital investments. They were able to build up new networks and distribution systems. At the same time retail trade declined as micro enterprises with few employees lost their position in the area. The Hungarian food-trade sector’s answer to the appearance on the market of trade companies well provided with capital was the establishment of “chains”. This change made it possible for small sized enter-prises to be competitive against the big companies in the field of commerce.

description: Italian agro-food cooperatives are involved in mergers, acquisition and alliances processes, that require a renovating model of membership management. Wine cooperatives are particularly dynamic in this context. The aim of the research is to identify new integration patterns between the cooperative and its members, starting from the analysis of the members’ structural and strategic choices. The research has been conducted in a wine cooperative of Veneto Region. Five elements of differentiation have been discussed and moving from five clusters of members, a linear regression model has been applied. The actual mechanism of patronage return does not comprehend the complexity of membership, but it confirms the hypothesis that the cooperative should follow differerentiated integration strategies for the diverse typologies of members. The large structural, strategic, social-demographic and cultural heterogeneity of the members (especially in the big cooperatives) suggests to foresee different patterns in term of development projects, in order to propose diverse solutions for new investment initiatives and the quality improvement of deliveries, ensuring a more widespread satisfaction of stakeholders’ expectations.

description: Direct sales became in recent years a diversification strategy increasingly used by farms to answer the CAP reform, as well as to react to the continuous price squeeze. Direct sales is in fact a form of marketing that allow farmers to retain a higher share of the final value of products. Far from being a way back to tradition, short chains and direct sales can be seen as strategies to capture new segments of demand interested in local and fresh food, and in more direct contact between consumers and suppliers. The aim of this work is to study the recent evolution of direct selling in Italy and the determinants of the adoption of this marketing strategy. The first part of the paper analyses the evolution of Italian short supply chains and the development of the related institutional framework (national laws and financial incentives). In the second part of the paper the analysis is focused on the determinants of the adoption of direct selling. Specific attention will be devoted to empirically test if the probability of using of this marketing channel is influenced by the farm location in proximity to urban areas.

description: In this paper we study a proportionate flow shop of batching machines with release dates and a fixed number $m \geq 2$ of machines. The scheduling problem has so far barely received any attention in the literature, but recently its importance has increased significantly, due to applications in the industrial scaling of modern bio-medicine production processes. We show that for any fixed number of machines, the makespan and the sum of completion times can be minimized in polynomial time. Furthermore, we show that the obtained algorithm can also be used to minimize the weighted total completion time, maximum lateness, total tardiness and (weighted) number of late jobs in polynomial time if all release dates are $0$. Previously, polynomial time algorithms have only been known for two machines.

A Comparative Study of Mid-Infrared Star-Formation Rate Tracers and Their Metallicity Dependence

description: We present a comparative study of a set of star-formation rate tracers based on mid-infrared emission in the 12.81$μ$m [Ne II] line, the 15.56$μ$m [Ne III] line, and emission features from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) between 5.2 and 14.7$μ$m. We calibrate our tracers with the thermal component of the radio continuum emission at 33 GHz from 33 extranuclear star-forming regions observed in nearby galaxies. Correlations between mid-IR emission features and thermal 33 GHz star-formation rates (SFR) show significant metallicity-dependent scatter and offsets. We find similar metallicity-dependent trends in commonly used SFR tracers such as H$α$ and 24$μ$m. As seen in previous studies, PAH emission alone is a poor SFR tracer due to a strong metallicity dependence: lower metallicity regions show decreased PAH emission relative to their SFR compared to higher metallicity regions. We construct combinations of PAH bands, neon emission lines, and their respective ratios to minimize metallicity trends. The calibrations that most accurately trace SFR with minimal metallicity dependence involve the sum of the integrated intensities of the 12.81$μ$m [Ne II] line and the 15.56$μ$m [Ne III] line combined with any major PAH feature normalized by dust continuum emission. This mid-IR calibration is a useful tool for measuring SFR as it is minimally sensitive to variations in metallicity and it is composed of bright, ubiquitous emission features. The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope will detect these features from galaxies as far as redshift z$\sim$1. We also investigate the behavior of the PAH band ratios and find that subtracting the local background surrounding a star-forming region decreases the ratio of PAH 11.3$μ$m to 7.7$μ$m emission. This implies PAHs are more ionized in star-forming regions relative to their surroundings.

description: A mezőgazdaságra, s általában az élelemtermelésre is egyre élesedő, globali-zálódó verseny vár. Ez magyarázza, hogy az európai agrárpolitika eszményei és realitásai mindinkább konfliktusba kerülnek, és ez az oka a KAP állandó re-formjainak, ezzel függenek össze a verseny torzításai, valamint a KAP követke-zetlenségei is. A magyar helyzetet, s a fejlődési lehetőségeket is – ezeken túlme-nően – az örökölt versenyhátrányok és a felemás csatlakozási felkészülés miatti új kihívások is befolyásolják. A versenyben való leszakadás megelőzése szem-pontjából fontos év 2007, amikor is át kell alakítani a nemzeti támogatási rend-szert; a nemzeti kiegészítő támogatások (top up) rendszerét; illetve elő kell készí-teni az uniós közvetlen támogatási rendszer, az ún. SAPS rendszer átalakítását. A felzárkózás, a piacok és a munkahelyek megtartásának esélye megalapozható a mintegy 1400 Mrd Ft-ot kitevő vidékfejlesztési források ésszerű elköltésével. - Increasingly fierce, globalised competition awaits agriculture and food production in general. This explains the fact that the ideals and realities of European agricultural policy are increasingly in conflict with each other and is the cause of the continuous CAP reforms, as well as being related to distortions in competition and inconsistencies in the CAP. Beyond all this, the Hungarian situation and its development potential are influenced by the new challenges of inherited competitive disadvantages and the uneven preparations for Accession. 2007 is an important year in terms of preventing a competitive collapse, as it is when the national subsidy system, including the system of national top-up subsidies, is to be transformed, and when preparations must be made for transforming the EU’s direct subsidy system, the so-called SAPS system. The foundation for possibly bridging the gap and retaining markets and jobs can be laid via the sensible expenditure of the roughly 1,400 billion forints of regional development resources.
Codimension two holography for wedges

description: We propose a codimension two holography between a gravitational theory on a $d+1$ dimensional wedge spacetime and a $d-1$ dimensional CFT which lives on the corner of the wedge. Formulating this as a generalization of AdS/CFT, we explain how to compute the free energy, entanglement entropy and correlation functions of the dual CFTs from gravity. In this wedge holography, the holographic entanglement entropy is computed by a double minimization procedure. Especially, for a four dimensional gravity ($d=3$), we obtain a two dimensional CFT and the holographic entanglement entropy perfectly reproduces the known result expected from the holographic conformal anomaly. We also discuss a lower dimensional example ($d=2$) and find that a universal quantity naturally arises from gravity, which is analogous to the boundary entropy. Moreover, we consider a gravity on a wedge region in Lorentzian AdS, which is expected to be dual to a CFT with a space-like boundary. We formulate this new holography and compute the holographic entanglement entropy via a Wick rotation of the AdS/BCFT construction. Via a conformal map, this wedge spacetime is mapped into a geometry where a bubble-of-nothing expands under time evolution. We reproduce the holographic entanglement entropy for this gravity dual via CFT calculations.

description: We study theoretically the ultracold two-component Fermi gases when a gradient magnetic field is used to tune the scattering length between atoms. For Li6 at the narrow resonance B0=543.25G, it is shown that the gases would be in a coexistence of the regimes of BCS, BEC and unitarity limit with the present experimental technique. In the case of thermal and chemical equilibrium, we investigate the density distribution of the gases and show that a double peak of the density distribution can give us a clear evidence for the coexistence of BCS, BEC and unitarity limit.
