description: Entrepreneurship is a crucial ingredient of economic growth and job creation. Small business start-ups are currently of great interest to many state and local governments including Indiana. With the growing need to stimulate small business development, it is necessary to understand the obstacles faced by entrepreneurs as they attempt to start a business. The results have implications for small business development and university related centers and how they design programs to effectively meet the needs of entrepreneurs participating in small business start-ups. More explicitly, the results show that targeting educational programs by socio-economic and demographic segments would have lead to a better chance of programming success
Sum Rules for the Dirac Spectrum of the Schwinger Model

description: The inverse eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in the Schwinger model satisfy the same Leutwyler-Smilga sum rules as in the case of QCD with one flavor. In this paper we give a microscopic derivation of these sum rules in the sector of arbitrary topological charge. We show that the sum rules can be obtained from the clustering property of the scalar correlation functions. This argument also holds for other theories with a mass gap and broken chiral symmetry such as QCD with one flavor. For QCD with several flavors a modified clustering property is derived from the low energy chiral Lagrangian. We also obtain sum rules for a fixed external gauge field and show their relation with the bosonized version of the Schwinger model. In the sector of topological charge $ν$ the sum rules are consistent with a shift of the Dirac spectrum away from zero by $ν/2$ average level spacings. This shift is also required to obtain a nonzero chiral condensate in the massless limit. Finally, we discuss the Dirac spectrum for a closely related two-dimensional theory for which the gauge field action is quadratic in the the gauge fields. This theory of so called random Dirac fermions has been discussed extensively in the context of the quantum Hall effect and d-wave super-conductors.

description: The 2002 Farm Bill has negatively impacted the finances of new/expanding fruit and vegetable (FAV) growers interested in diversifying their operations. Producers wishing to grow FAV on farms that do not have a historical record of such production must either remove their farm from government program payments or face penalties for planting FAV on subsidized acres. If a grower removes a farm from the program, he/she will lose the government payments for the entire farm, not just the acres that are planted to FAV production. Combined with penalties for producing on any land without historical production in FAV, the addition of soybeans as a base eligible crop has unintentionally removed thousands of Midwestern acres previously available for FAV production. The results of the analysis indicate that the current farm policy restricts the income for new/expanding FAV growers. The 2002 Farm Bill scenario reveals that a new/expanding FAV grower with the same farm which now includes soybean base acres would receive $20.13 per planted acre less than they would have under the 1996 Farm Bill.

description: The quark-antiquark gauge invariant Green function is studied through its dependence on Wilson loops. The latter are saturated, in the large Nc limit and for large contours, by minimal surfaces. A covariant bound state equation is derived which in the center-of-mass frame and at equal-times takes the form of a Breit-Salpeter type equation. The large-distance interaction potentials reduce in the static case to a confining linear vector potential. In general, the interaction potentials involve contributions having the structure of flux tube like terms.

description: 現代社会においてメタボリックシンドロームなど運動不足による症状を多くの 人が抱えている。運動不足を解消するための手段としてジョギングが挙げられる。 ジョギングにおいて重要なことは、本人にとって無理のないペースを設定し、そ のペースを維持しながらできるだけ長く走ることである。しかし、運動に慣れて いない人にとって一定のペースを維持することは難しく、速く走りすぎたり、疲 れによってペースが落ちてしまう場合が少なくない。そのような場合に、ペース の変化を本人に知らせ、元のペースに戻すことを促す仕組みがあれば、有効であ ると考えられる。 我々は、音楽を聴きながらジョギングをする人が多数いることに着目し、音楽 の再生速度によってペースの変化をユーザに知らせる方法を提案する。この方法 では、最初の 10 秒間にユーザが走ったペースを基準ペースとし、それよりもペー スが速くなったら再生中の音楽も速く、ペースが遅くなったら音楽も遅く再生す る。これにより、音楽を楽しみながらジョギングをするには一定のペースで走る ことが要求されるので、自然とペースが一定になりやすくなると予想される。被 験者実験を行った結果、本研究を使用しない時に比べ使用した時の方がジョギン グのペースを維持しやすくなるという結果が得られた。

description: Both market structure and corporate practices of Archer Daniels Midland fostered the implementation of the largest price- fixing conspiracies seen in modern times. These events have spurred renewed attention by U.S. antitrust authorities in prosecuting international cartels. The overcharges imposed on buyers of lysine and citric acid during 1994-1995 by ADM and its co-conspirators amounted to at least $200 million, and the total amount of public penalties, private damages, and legal costs exceeds $500 million. Perpetrators of price-fixing now face monetary exposures that are five times the amount of the harm caused to buyers.

description: We measure the dynamics of the thermo-optical nonlinearity of both a mode-gap nanocavity and a delocalized mode in a Ga$_{\mathrm{0.51}}$In$_{\mathrm{0.49}}$P photonic crystal membrane. We model these results in terms of heat transport and thermo-optical response in the material. By step-modulating the optical input power we push the nonlinear resonance to jump between stable branches of its response curve, causing bistable switching. An overshoot of the intensity followed by a relaxation tail is observed upon bistable switching. In this way, the thermal relaxation of both the localized resonance and the delocalized resonance is measured. Significant difference in decay time is observed and related to the optical mode profile of the resonance. We reproduce the observed transient behavior with our thermo-optical model, implementing a non-instantaneous nonlinearity, and taking into account the optical mode profile of the resonance, as experimentally measured.

description: Organizational culture the evaluation of which by the board of directors is a very difficult job, is considered as a soft issue in organizations. Internal audit is a unique function within an organization, which with independence and access to individual's information and evidence may ensure the board of directors that there is a strong commitment to good conduct and it actually becomes a daily behavior in the organization and more importantly, actions taken to change culture and behaviors are effective and that the tone at the top is reflected at all levels. This study is aimed to investigate audit capabilities and challenges of organizational culture in Iran and the role of internal auditors in the promotion of organizational culture. This study is a survey research and the research data are collected by means of questionnaire that is designed based on the McKinsey 7s questions. The sample consists of 123 internal auditors. The results show that organizational culture is not considered in internal auditors' reviews. Among the four soft factors (shared values, organization skills, management style, staff members) , only shared values and among the three hard factors (organizational strategies, Organizational systems, organizational structure) , only organizational systems are examined in the audit process. The results show the necessity and value creation of internal auditing in the field of organizational culture. Therefore, in order to improve the organizational culture, internal auditors should consider not only hard controls but also soft controls in their audits.

description: The Skyrme-Faddeev-Niemi (SFN) model which is an O(3) $σ$ model in three dimensional space upto fourth-order in the first derivative is regarded as a low-energy effective theory of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. One can show from the Wilsonian renormalization group argument that the effective action of Yang-Mills theory recovers the SFN in the infrared region. However, the thoery contains an additional fourth-order term which destabilizes the soliton solution. In this paper, we derive the second derivative term perturbatively and show that the SFN model with the second derivative term possesses soliton solutions.

description: We propose a probabilistic quantum algorithm that decides whether a monochrome picture matches a given template (or one out of a set of templates). As a major advantage to classical pattern recognition, the algorithm just requires a few incident photons and is thus suitable for very sensitive pictures (similar to the Elitzur-Vaidman problem). Furthermore, for a $2^{n}\times 2^{m}$ image, $\ord(n+m)$ qubits are sufficient. Using the quantum Fourier transform, it is possible to improve the fault tolerance of the quantum algorithm by filtering out small-scale noise in the picture. For example images with $512\times512$ pixels, we have numerically simulated the unitary operations in order to demonstrate the applicability of the algorithm and to analyze its fault tolerance.

description: We have witnessed profound changes in the pork sector over the last several years. These involve integration and concentration that raise issues of competitiveness in both input and product markets as well as issues of who bears risk and who reaps rewards. We see clear evidence of increased concentration, by several measures, to the point where public vigilance is warranted. Two major policy options are anti-trust action and increasing the market power of hog producers through institutional arrangements new to the hog industry. Better information in specific areas of concern is needed before informed public policy can be made with respect to either policy option, and the option of increasing producer market power will require active public support.

description: Wrist accelerometers for assessing hallmark measures of physical activity (PA) are rapidly growing with the advent of smartwatch technology. Given the growing popularity of wrist-worn accelerometers, there needs to be a rigorous evaluation for recognizing (PA) type and estimating energy expenditure (EE) across the lifespan. Participants (66% women, aged 20-89 yrs) performed a battery of 33 daily activities in a standardized laboratory setting while a tri-axial accelerometer collected data from the right wrist. A portable metabolic unit was worn to measure metabolic intensity. We built deep learning networks to extract spatial and temporal representations from the time-series data, and used them to recognize PA type and estimate EE. The deep learning models resulted in high performance; the F1 score was: 0.82, 0.81, and 95 for recognizing sedentary, locomotor, and lifestyle activities, respectively. The root mean square error was 1.1 (+/-0.13) for the estimation of EE.

description: In this paper, we describe the design and performance of GRAPE-6A, a special-purpose computer for gravitational many-body simulations. It was designed to be used with a PC cluster, in which each node has one GRAPE-6A. Such configuration is particularly effective in running parallel tree algorithm. Though the use of parallel tree algorithm was possible with the original GRAPE-6 hardware, it was not very cost-effective since a single GRAPE-6 board was still too fast and too expensive. Therefore, we designed GRAPE-6A as a single PCI card to minimize the reproduction cost and optimize the computing speed. The peak performance is 130 Gflops for one GRAPE-6A board and 3.1 Tflops for our 24 node cluster. We describe the implementation of the tree, TreePM and individual timestep algorithms on both a single GRAPE-6A system and GRAPE-6A cluster. Using the tree algorithm on our 16-node GRAPE-6A system, we can complete a collisionless simulation with 100 million particles (8000 steps) within 10 days.

description: Recent theoretical and experimental studies demonstrated that an electromagnetic metamaterial approach is capable of drastically increasing the critical temperature Tc of composite metamaterial superconductors. This progress was achieved by engineering the frequency-dependent dielectric response function of the metamaterial. Here we further extend this approach by introducing the concept of hybrid acousto-electromagnetic hyperbolic metamaterial superconductors, which are projected to exhibit strongly enhanced superconducting properties due to artificially engineered broadband divergency of the Eliashberg electron-phonon spectral density function. Based on the developed approach, a hybrid acousto-electromagnetic metamaterial is proposed, which is made of LSCO/STO nano-alloy.

description: Predicting signatures of string theory on cosmological observables is not sufficient. Often the observable effects string theory may impact upon the cosmological arena may equally be predicted by features of inflationary physics. The question: what observable signatures are unique to new physics, is thus of crucial importance for claiming evidence for the theory. Here we discuss recent progress in addressing the above question. The evidence relies on identifying discrepancies between the source terms that give rise to large scale structure (LSS) and CMB, by cross-correlating the weak lensing potential maps LSS with the CMB spectra.

description: Adaptive identification method based on modulating functions method is described in the paper. The process is treated as a linear system with parameters values that can be changed on-line during the identification procedure. The overall model is composed of several submodels. The models, which inputs can be controlled, are aproximated by the the Strejc transfer function. This approach allows to reduce the number of model parameters. Moreover, many dedicated PID auto-tuning methods can be adapted. The developed procedure was applied for the data collected from a real glass production installation.

Expanding the understanding of self-directed learning : community action and innovative workplaces
Creators: name: Taylor, Rosemary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Much confusion surrounds the term 'self-directed learning', which presently describes a process, a goal, a teaching technique, and an outcome of that teaching. As a process, the literature concentrates mainly on how individuals learn, with little reference to groups that can be as selfdirected as individuals. The purposes of this study were: (a) to reduce conceptual confusion by creating a typology distinguishing different processes of self-directed learning; (b) to explore the phenomenon of group self-directed learning; and (c) to illustrate the effect of environment on learning, and the complex learning dynamics in group settings. This project arose somewhat differently from typical doctoral research. Data from two unrelated field studies conducted for other purposes, completed before this thesis work began, each illustrated self-directed groups learning informally in the contexts of community action and innovative small workplaces. A subsequent review of the literature indicated a lack of attention to this form of group learning, and the field studies were then re-analyzed from this perspective. As a result of the literature review and data re-analysis (1) a typology emerged from the literature review that divides the process of self-directed learning into three forms, each of which is context sensitive but between which learners can continually move back and forth; (2) it appears that the term 'autodidactic' can apply to specific groups which are both self-organized and self-directed in their learning efforts; and (3) that the term 'autodidaxy' as presently defined is as conceptually confusing as the term 'self-directed learning'. This confusion is reduced by the typology proposed by this thesis. Minor findings indicate two continuing problems. The first is reluctance by some to accord non-credentialed learning the value it deserves, and the second is the difficulty often encountered in transferring knowledge from the site of learning to the site of application. This study concludes that 'informalizing' some formal curricula, and encouraging self-directed learning at all levels and in all contexts, may provide some of the tools necessary for living and learning in the twenty-first century.

description: Deep-inelastic ep scattering data taken with the H1 detector at HERA and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 106 pb^{-1} are used to study the differential distributions of event shape variables. These include thrust, jet broadening, jet mass and the C-parameter. The four-momentum transfer Q is taken to be the relevant energy scale and ranges between 14 GeV and 200 GeV. The event shape distributions are compared with perturbative QCD predictions, which include resummed contributions and analytical power law corrections, the latter accounting for non-perturbative hadronisation effects. The data clearly exhibit the running of the strong coupling alpha_s(Q) and are consistent with a universal power correction parameter alpha_0 for all event shape variables. A combined QCD fit using all event shape variables yields alpha_s(mZ) = 0.1198 \pm 0.0013 ^{+0.0056}_{-0.0043} and alpha_0 = 0.476 \pm 0.008 ^{+0.018} _{-0.059}.

description: Chloromethane is the only organochloride detected in space to date. Its recent observation towards the low-mass protostar IRAS 16293-2422 with ALMA offers a prompt for new laboratory studies of CH$_3$Cl and its isotopologues. Here, we report the investigation of the rotational spectrum of monodeuterated chloromethane CH$_2$DCl in the frequency region between 90 and 300 GHz. The measurements have been carried out with a frequency-modulation millimeter-wave spectrometer, arranged to perform saturation spectroscopy. From the analysis of hyperfine-resolved spectra of the two chlorine isotopologues CH$_2$D$^{35}$Cl and CH$_2$D$^{37}$Cl, consistent sets of accurate spectroscopic parameters have been obtained. This work provides reliable spectral predictions which can be used to guide radio-astronomical searches of CH$_2$DCl in the interstellar medium and represents a solid base for future analyses of high-resolution infrared spectra of monodeuterated chloromethane.

The process is carried out in glass forehearths after leaving a melting unit. Precise temperature control is essential during the process, hence much eort was put into modelling of its dynamics. LTI MISO model with lumped parameters can be obtained and on-line identyfied by MFM based on the historical data collected from a real installation. The model is used for predicting the real system output. The results obtained by MFM are compared with the simulation results obtained from partial differential equation PDE model and with the real plant output.

description: We are interested in the similarities and differences between the quantum-classical (Q-C) and the noncommutative-commutative (NC-Com) correspondences. As one useful platform to address this issue we derive the superstar Wigner-Moyal equation for noncommutative quantum mechanics (NCQM). A superstar $\bigstar$-product combines the usual phase space $\ast$ star and the noncommutative $\star$ star-product. Having dealt with subtleties of ordering present in this problem we show that the classical correspondent to the NC Hamiltonian has the same form as the original Hamiltonian, but with a non-commutativity parameter $θ$-dependent, momentum-dependent shift in the coordinates. Using it to examine the classical and the commutative limits, we find that there exist qualitative differences between these two limits. Specifically, if $θ\neq 0$ there is no classical limit. Classical limit exists only if $θ\to 0$ at least as fast as $\hbar \to 0$, but this limit does not yield Newtonian mechanics, unless the limit of $θ/\hbar$ vanishes as $θ\to 0$. Another angle to address this issue is the existence of conserved currents and the Noether's theorem in the continuity equation, and the Ehrenfest theorem in the NCQM context.

description: Assuming that there is no GZK (Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin) cut-off and that super-GZK cosmic rays correlate with AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) at cosmological distances, it is speculated that a relic superheavy particle (X) has its lifetime enhanced by sequestration in an extra dimension. This sequestration is assumed to be partially liberated by proximity of merging supermassive black holes in an AGN, temporarily but drastically reducing the lifetime, thus stimulating an X burst. Based on sequestration of the decay products of X, a speculative explanation of the observed $γ/N$ ratio is proposed.

description: The work fluctuations of an oscillator in contact with a heat reservoir and driven out of equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally. The oscillator dynamics is modeled by a Langevin equation. We find both experimentally and theoretically that, if the driving force does not change the equilibrium properties of the thermal fluctuations of this mechanical system, the free energy difference $ΔF$ between two equilibrium states can be exactly computed using the Jarzynski equality (JE) and the Crooks relation (CR) \cite{jarzynski1, crooks1, jarzynski2}, independently of the time scale and amplitude of the driving force. The applicability limits for the JE and CR at very large driving forces are discussed. Finally, when the work fluctuations are Gaussian, we propose an alternative empirical method to compute $ΔF$ which can be safely applied, even in cases where the JE and CR might not hold. The results of this paper are useful to compute $ΔF$ in complex systems such as the biological ones.

description: Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we have observed the Bs meson in e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(5S) resonance. We find 14 candidates consistent with Bs decays into final states with a J/psi or a Ds(*)-. The probability that we have observed a background fluctuation is less than 8x10e-10. We have established that at the energy of the Upsilon(5S) resonance Bs meson production proceeds predominantly through the creation of Bs*Bs* pairs. We find sigma(e+e- -> Bs*Bs*) = [0.11 (+0.04-0.03)(stat.)+/-0.02(syst.)] nb, and set the following limits: sigma(e+e- -> BsBs) / sigma(e+e- -> Bs*Bs*) < 0.16 and sigma(e+e- -> BsBs*) / sigma(e+e- -> Bs*Bs*) < 0.16 at the 90% confidence level. The mass of the Bs* meson is measured to be M(Bs*) = [5.414 +/- 0.001(stat.) +/- 0.003(syst.)] GeV.

An interpretive study of a voluntary organization serving Chinese immigrants in Vancouver, Canada
Creators: name: Guo, Shibao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Community initiated voluntary associations play a valuable role in immigrant societies, such as multicultural Canada. They are, however, not always seen as benign, self-motivated, or altruistic institutions. Where immigrants are all too frequently viewed as a drain on societal resources, ethnic organizations are also viewed as threatening national unity, diluting Canadian identity, and promoting ghettoization and separatism. This study explores, in detail, the way in which one ethnic organization, SUCCESS, was founded in 1973 for exactly the opposite reasons. The failure of the government and mainstream organizations to provide accessible social services for Chinese immigrants led to its initiation. The central guiding question in this research is: how did a community initiated voluntary organization such as SUCCESS respond to changing needs of an ethnic community in a multicultural society? The study traces the evolution of SUCCESS in its first 25 years. This investigation utilizes a 'collage' of literature pertaining to multiculturalism, minority group rights and democratic citizenship, research on social services for immigrants, the role of immigrant serving organizations, and their relationship with the state. Data draws on multiple sources and triangulation: document analysis; interviews with the Executive, Board members, and Program Directors; site visits; as well as participant observation as a volunteer. Since interviews with clientele were not included, this study is unable to make claims about the nature of their views of this organization. This research has extended existing arguments regarding the roles of ethnic organizations and their relationship with the state. It demonstrates that SUCCESS plays a significant role in promoting immigrant integration. Moreover, the study challenges the view of liberal universalism and provides an alternative model to interpret citizenship, minority group rights, and democracy. The findings from this study have important implications for both researchers and policy makers. First, it contributes to the theoretical literature on the role of ethnic organizations, to the history of Chinese immigrants in British Columbia, and to a better relationship between ethnic organizations and the state. Second, it helps policy makers in Canada reassess their past policies on immigration and ethnic organizations and plan for the future. Third, it provides guidelines for community organization in Vancouver and Canada.

description: The concepts of competition and its derivatives, competitiveness and competitive advantage feature as highly on the current development agendas and policy debates of developing countries as they do in the developed world, yet they are sufficiently opaque to make any discussion of the relationship between economic development and competition a matter to be negotiated with some difficulty. In this short essay we review some recent thinking on the connection between competition and development as a prelude to a study of wider concerns about innovation, income distribution, competition and development policy. The position we take is that the problems of competitiveness and economic development are isomorphic by virtue of being examples of the phenomenon of economic evolution. Economic evolution is a theory of how the world changes or rather how it changes in such an uneven fashion. We review ideas on the history of the concept of competition and go on to develop an evolutionary approach to competition and competitive advantage. We then review a number of important contributions to the development literature including those associated with the idea of innovation and technology policy. We conclude that competition is central to the development process but that competition is a process not a state of affairs. Consequently competition policy is not reducible to a simpleminded concern with the exploitation of market power, rather in its fundamentals it is a matter of the creativity of an economic system.

description: We present experimental evidence showing that the effective carrier diffusion length ($L_d$) and lifetime ($τ$) depend on the carrier density in MAPbBr$_3$ single crystals. Independent measurements reveal that both $L_d$ and $τ$ decrease with an increase in photo-carrier density. Scanning photocurrent microscopy is used to extract the characteristic photocurrent $I_{ph}$ decay-length parameter, $L_d$, which is a measure of effective carrier diffusion. The $L_d$ magnitudes for electrons and holes were determined to be ~ 13.3 $μ$m and ~ 13.8 $μ$m respectively. A marginal increase in uniform light bias ($\leq 5 \times 10^{15}$ photons/cm$^2$) increases the modulated photocurrent magnitude and reduces the $L_d$ parameter by a factor of two and three for electrons and holes respectively, indicating that the recombination is not monomolecular. The $L_d$ variations were correlated to the features in photoluminescence lifetime studies. Analysis of lifetime variation shows intensity-dependent monomolecular and bimolecular recombination trends with recombination constants determined to be ~ 9.3 $\times 10^6$ s$^{-1}$ and ~ 1.4 $\times 10^{-9}$ cm$^{3}$s$^{-1}$ respectively. Based on the trends of $L_d$ and lifetime, it is inferred that the sub-band-gap trap recombination influences carrier transport in the low-intensity excitation regime, while bimolecular recombination and transport dominate at high intensity.

description: We discuss the implications of a model of noncommutative Quantum Mechanics where noncommutativity is extended to the phase space. We analyze how this model affects the problem of the two-dimensional gravitational quantum well and use the latest experimental results for the energy states of neutrons in the Earth's gravitational field to establish an upper bound on the fundamental momentum scale introduced by noncommutativity. We show that the configuration space noncommutativity has, in leading order, no effect on the problem and that in the context of the model, a correction to the presently accepted value of Planck's constant to 1 part in $10^{24}$ arises. We also study the transition between quantum and classical behaviour of particles in a gravitational quantum well and analyze how an increase in the particles mass turns the energy spectrum into a continuous one. We consider these effects and argue that they could be tested by through experiments with atoms and fullerene-type molecules.

description: Shallow acceptor levels in Si/Ge/Si quantum well heterostructures are characterized by resonant tunneling spectroscopy in the presence of high magnetic fields. In a perpendicular magnetic field we observe a linear Zeeman splitting of the acceptor levels. In an in-plane field, on the other hand, the Zeeman splitting is strongly suppressed. This anisotropic Zeeman splitting is shown to be a consequence of the huge light hole-heavy hole splitting caused by a large biaxial strain and a strong quantum confinement in the Ge quantum well.
