description: Canada's Western Grain Stabilization program is analyzed to determine the extent to which it acts as a buffer between the Canadian grains economy and the international grains economy. A dynamic stochastic simulation model is constructed to examine how Canada's Western Grain Stabilization Program modifies the transmission of: (a) domestic yield variability to the foreign grain market and (b) foreign demand variability to the domestic grains market. With respect to (a), the program was found to aggravate international uncertainty only very slightly while with respect to (b) it was found to substantially reduce domestic uncertainty.

description: The Tobit estimation procedure was used to determine the factors which influence the location and size of high technology manufacturers in nonmetro areas in the West. The results indicate that high tech branch plants tend to locate in populous counties adjacent to Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Percent of local employment in manufacturing and agriculture was inversely related to branch plant employment, and the stock of human capital was not significantly related to employment. High tech unit plants also exhibited a propensity to locate in the more populous counties. Unlike branch plants, the unit concerns were more likely to develop or locate in communities with a highly educated work force and at greater distances from metro areas. The unit plants better fit the perception of high tech plants selecting high amenity locations with abundant skilled labor.

Subjects: Agribusiness

description: Recent reorganizations of agricultural cooperatives have created concern that the cooperative form of business may not be well suited to the agribusiness environment of the 1990s. Potential institutional changes in the cooperative form of organization require objective analysis of the etiology of these reorganizations. Previous research evaluated internal features of the cooperative that may create economic incentives to convert the co-op to a corporation. This article focuses on external factors that may also be related to cooperative conversions. Informal evaluation of the limited evidence suggests that these factors merit further study.

description: A light beam is said to be position squeezed if its position can be determined to an accuracy beyond the standard quantum limit. We identify the position and momentum observables for bright optical beams and show that position and momentum entanglement can be generated by interfering two position, or momentum, squeezed beams on a beam splitter. The position and momentum measurements of these beams can be performed using a homodyne detector with local oscillator of an appropriate transverse beam profile. We compare this form of spatial entanglement with split detection-based spatial entanglement.

Using the Lagrange multiplier method, we asses the uncertainty inherent to the extraction of the different spin dependent parton densities in a QCD global fit, and the impact of the increased set of semi-inclusive data now available. We comment on future prospects at RHIC and JLAB and their potential impact in the future determination of polarized parton densities.

description: An econometric model is estimated to simulate the impact of introducing bovine somatotropin (BST) on the California dairy industry. Forecasts of 1991-94 milk production and prices without BST are compared to those with BST under the 1990 Farm Bill. The effects are evaluated under a range in assumptions, given the uncertainty about BST's commercial benefits and costs. Results indicate the aggregate returns of BST introduction for California are positive, but small, assuming no adverse consumer reaction.

description: We consider the history of New Horizons target (486958) Arrokoth in the context of its sublimative evolution. Shortly after the Sun's protoplanetary disk (PPD) cleared, the newly intense sunlight sparked a sublimative period in Arrokoth's early history that lasted for ~10-100 Myr. Although this sublimation was too weak to significantly alter Arrokoth's spin state, it could drive mass transport around the surface significant enough to erase topographic features on length scales of ~10-100 m. This includes craters up to ~50-500 m in diameter, which suggests that the majority of Arrokoth's craters may not be primordial (dating from the merger of Arrokoth's lobes), but rather could date from after the end of this sublimative period. Thereafter, Arrokoth entered a Quiescent Period (which lasts to the present day), in which volatile production rates are at least 13 orders of magnitude less than the ~10^24 molecules/s detection limit of the New Horizons spacecraft (Lisse et al. 2020). This is insufficient to drive either mass transport or sublimative torques. These results suggest that the observed surface of Arrokoth is not primordial, but rather dates from the Quiescent Period. By contrast, the inability of sublimative torques to meaningfully alter Arrokoth's rotation state suggests that its shape is indeed primordial, and its observed rotation is representative of its spin state after formation.

description: Double perovskites extend the design space for new materials, and they often host phenomena that don't exist in their parent perovskite compounds. Here, we present a detailed first principles study of the correlated double perovskite Sr$_2$VNbO$_6$, where inter-cationic charge transfer and strength of electronic correlations depend strongly on the cation order. By using Density Functional Theory + Embedded Dynamical Mean Field Theory, we show that this compound has a completely different electronic structure than either of its parent compounds despite V and Nb being from the same group in the periodic table. We explain how the electronic correlations' effect on the crystal structural parameters determines on which side of the Hund's metal-Mott insulator transition the material is. Our results demonstrate the emergence of Hund's metallic behavior in a double perovskite that has $d^1$ parents, and underlines the importance of electronic correlation effects on the crystal structure.

We show that harmonic and di-jet contributions to these correlation functions can be reliably decomposed by two techniques to give an accurate measurement of the jet-pair distribution. Results from detailed Monte Carlo simulations are used to demonstrate the efficacy of these techniques in the study of possible modifications to jet topologies in heavy ion reactions.

grundlegende Arbeitsbedingungen, erhöht die Unterrichtsverpflichtung
und erweitert pädagogische Aufgaben. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet die
Auswirkungen auf Arbeitszeit, Weiterbildung und Schulentwicklung,
um die Praxisrelevanz zu evaluieren und Optimierungen aufzuzeigen.
Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Auswirkungen des neuen Dienstrechts
für Lehrer*innen in Österreich auf Arbeitszeit, pädagogische Aufgaben
und berufliche Weiterentwicklung zu analysieren. Dabei sollen Heraus-
forderungen wie erhöhte Arbeitsbelastung und Chancen, z. B. durch
klarere Strukturen und verpflichtende Weiterbildung, aufgezeigt und
Handlungsempfehlungen zur Verbesserung abgeleitet werden.
Die Untersuchung basiert auf einer qualitativen Analyse bestehender
Dokumente und Berichte zum neuen Dienstrecht. Ergänzend wurden
Interviews mit Lehrer*innen durchgeführt, um praktische Erfahrun-
gen und Perspektiven zu erfassen. Der Fokus liegt auf den Themen
Arbeitszeit und Zusatzaufgaben, insbesondere den teilweise ungenau
definierten Aufgaben im pädagogischen Dienst.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine gestiegene Arbeitsbelastung durch höhere
Unterrichtsverpflichtungen und erweiterte Zusatzaufgaben wie Doku-
mentation und Schulentwicklung. Lehrer*innen schätzen die klarere
Struktur und Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten, kritisieren jedoch unzurei-
chende Ressourcen und Zeitdruck. Ein Zwei-Klassen-System zwischen
alten und neuen Dienstrechten führt zu Spannungen im Kollegium.

description: The shipping Act of 1984 represents a new attempt to balance the benefits of a conference (cartel) system against its costs. This legislation may have increased conference market power by streamlining the regulatory process and expanding antitrust immunity. Alternatively, the legislation may have decreased conference market power by providing for the Mandatory Right to Independent Action and Service Contracts. We develop and estimate an econometric model and find that any increased market power is offset by competitive provisions when those competitive provision apply. However, when those provisions do not apply, the Act may increase market power.

description: The compartmentalization of chemical reactions within droplets has advantages in low costs, reduced consumption of reagents and increased throughput. Reactions in small droplets have also been shown to greatly accelerate the rate of many chemical reactions. The accelerated growth rate of nanobubbles from nanodroplet reactions is demonstrated in this work. The gaseous products from the reaction at the nanodroplet surface promoted nucleation of hydrogen nanobubbles within multiple organic liquid nanodroplets. The nanobubbles were confined within the droplets and selectively grew and collapsed at the droplet perimeter, as visualized by microscopy with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The growth rate of the bubbles was significantly accelerated within small droplets and scaled inversely with droplet radius. The acceleration was attributed to confinement from the droplet volume and effect from the surface area on the interfacial chemical reaction for gas production. The results of this study provide further understanding for applications in droplet enhanced production of nanobubbles and the on-demand liberation of hydrogen.

description: A structural model of the spring onion economy is developed to analyze forces affecting the onion-producing sector in Texas. Spring onion prices in Texas are influenced by own shipments, shipments from storage stocks, and variety. Texas's decline in market share is largely the result of expanded late summer (storage) onion production. A decline in the U.S. real tariff and a weakening of the real exchange rate (pesos/$) encouraged onion imports from Mexico during the study period. However, this impact was offset by the imposition of quality standards in 1980 and the growth in domestic late summer onion production. Study period results did not support the recent contention of Texas producers that onion imports from Mexico are unfavorably affecting prices received.
Teacher learning and language : subtitle a pragmatic self-study
Creators: name: Gudjonsson, Hafthor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The study presented here addresses teacher learning. It is a 'self-study' in the sense that it is directed to my own efforts as a teacher educator in Iceland to establish a new kind of learning environment for my student teachers, guided by the view that, in doing so, I might better understand more generally what learning to teach entails and how such learning might be facilitated. I ask, "How teachers learn to think and act in particular ways?" Approaching this question, I turn inward, asking myself what and how I was learning when trying to build the new learning environment. However, the study also includes an inquiry into my own practice as a secondary school chemistry teacher, in particular my efforts to readapt to the culture of my school after two years of graduate studies in another country but also my efforts to bring the complexities of my own chemistry teaching to my student teachers on campus. Records collected for this study include my own research journal, copies of my student teachers' written coursework, and audio tapings from our conversations both on campus and in school practicum settings. In the last case, the student teachers' school advisers were also involved. Beginning to analyze these records, I found myself grappling with fundamental questions related to the act of inquiry. Exploring this issue I became drawn to Rortyan pragmatism and this encouraged me to approach my records imaginatively, keeping in mind that my responsibility was to come up with descriptions that might point to new possibilities for teacher educators to improve their practices. Following this lead, I have tried, in this study, to examine my records in light of both pragmatic and sociocultural perspectives. Two major themes emerged in the course of these explorations, that is (a) learning to teach as "personal" and as "social" and (b) the role of language in learning to teach. I conclude that it may be useful to see learning to teach both as "personal" and "social". Besides, I suggest that seeing learning to teach as a scenario of "language games" might turn out as a useful description.

description: We model a system of networking agents that seek to optimize their centrality in the network while keeping their cost, the number of connections they are participating in, low. Unlike other game-theory based models for network evolution, the success of the agents is related only to their position in the network. The agents use strategies based on local information to improve their chance of success. Both the evolution of strategies and network structure are investigated. We find a dramatic time evolution with cascades of strategy change accompanied by a change in network structure. On average the network self-organizes to a state close to the transition between a fragmented state and a state with a giant component. Furthermore, with increasing system size both the average degree and the level of fragmentation decreases. We also observe that the network keeps on actively evolving, although it does not have to, thus suggesting a Red Queen-like situation where agents have to keep on networking and responding to the moves of the others in order to stay successful.

description: AbstractFrom 1985 to 1987, Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates were collected from children under 5 years of age in the Asaro Valley, Papua New Guinea as part of a study on bacterial colonization and respiratory tract infections. Data on serogroup and colony morphology were collected to survey serogroups and associated colony morphologies present in the area and to assess whether colony morphology can be indicative of serogroup. In total, 5989 colonies were examined; serogroups 6, 10, 14, 15, 19, 23, 33, 34, 35 and nonserotypeable strains were the most common and accounted for 77% of all the colonies, with serogroups 6, 19 and 23 accounting for 48%. The majority of colonies displayed the typical draughtsman morphology, though serogroup 10 and non-serotypeable isolates most often displayed a raised colony morphology. Of the 15 mucoid colonies identified 73% were serotype 3, though only 29% of serotype 3 isolates were mucoid. Thus colony morphology is of limited value in identifying the pneumococcal serogroup/serotype apart from mucoid colonies, which are likely to be serotype 3.

description: We analyze the flow of a liquid foam between two plates separated by a gap of the order of the bubble size (2D foam). We concentrate on the salient features of the flow that are induced by the presence, in an otherwise monodisperse foam, of a single large bubble whose size is one order of magnitude larger than the average size. We describe a model suited for numerical simulations of flows of 2D foams made up of a large number of bubbles. The numerical results are successfully compared to analytical predictions based on scaling arguments and on continuum medium approximations. When the foam is pushed inside the cell at a controlled rate, two basically different regimes occur: a plug flow is observed at low flux whereas, above a threshold, the large bubble migrates faster than the mean flow. The detailed characterization of the relative velocity of the large bubble is the essential aim of the present paper. The relative velocity values, predicted both from numerical and from analytical calculations that are discussed here in great detail, are found to be in fair agreement with experimental results.

description: During the last few years the public has become in general more ambivalent towards new technologies and while expecting technological innovation to make their life better, they still old concerns about possible adverse effects deriving from the use of these technologies. The present paper offers a comparative approach on two European member countries concerning attitudes towards genetically modified food. The paper focus on values because previous research has shown that socio-economic factors can only partially explain differences in attitudes towards genetically modified food. Strong national differences lead to the idea that cultural differences should also be taken into account. Following the approach of Schwartz, the scope of this research paper is to analyse cultural priorities concerning genetically modified food at the individual level. Using data collected in Germany and Greece, the suitability of values to express continuous processes of cultural and individual changes is explored in relation to genetically modified food.

Year: 1953

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Entanglement activation and the robustness of quantum correlations

description: We show that the usefulness of a state as an activator in teleportation protocols is equivalent to the robustness of its entanglement to noise. The robustness of entanglement of a bi-partite state is linked to the maximum increase in the the fidelity of teleportation of any other state when the former is used as an extra resource. On the one hand, this connection gives an operational meaning to the robustness of entanglement. On the other hand, it shows that the activation capability - which has a central role as an operational way of quantifying bound entangled states - can be estimated experimentally by measuring entanglement witnesses.

description: The paper tests a number of hypotheses concerning branding behaviour of the food industry found in the literature. Based on a survey of 109 Danish food industry firms conducted in 2004, three aspects of branding strategies are analysed, i) the number of brands owned by the firm, ii) the number of brands introduced by the firm during the past year and iii) the percentage of sales obtained from production under private labels. Firms' branding behaviour is related to structural variables including firm size, degree of vertical integration, value added as well as firms' views on food chain organisation and competitiveness.

description: A discrete-time single-user scalar channel with temporally correlated Rayleigh fading is analyzed. There is no side information at the transmitter or the receiver. A simple expression is given for the capacity per unit energy, in the presence of a peak constraint. The simple formula of Verdu for capacity per unit cost is adapted to a channel with memory, and is used in the proof. In addition to bounding the capacity of a channel with correlated fading, the result gives some insight into the relationship between the correlation in the fading process and the channel capacity. The results are extended to a channel with side information, showing that the capacity per unit energy is one nat per Joule, independently of the peak power constraint. A continuous-time version of the model is also considered. The capacity per unit energy subject to a peak constraint (but no bandwidth constraint) is given by an expression similar to that for discrete time, and is evaluated for Gauss-Markov and Clarke fading channels.

description: Word sense induction (WSI) is the problem of grouping occurrences of an ambiguous word according to the expressed sense of this word. Recently a new approach to this task was proposed, which generates possible substitutes for the ambiguous word in a particular context using neural language models, and then clusters sparse bag-of-words vectors built from these substitutes. In this work, we apply this approach to the Russian language and improve it in two ways. First, we propose methods of combining left and right contexts, resulting in better substitutes generated. Second, instead of fixed number of clusters for all ambiguous words we propose a technique for selecting individual number of clusters for each word. Our approach established new state-of-the-art level, improving current best results of WSI for the Russian language on two RUSSE 2018 datasets by a large margin.

description: Tropospheric ozone is an air pollutant thought to reduce crop yields across Europe. Much experimental scientific work has been completed or is currently underway to quantify yield effects at ambient ozone levels. In this research, we seek to directly evaluate whether such effects are observed at the farm level. We use both primal (production function) as well as dual (profit function) methods, with ozone as a fixed input, to explore the extent to which output and profits are affected by ozone in the UK. A panel dataset on UK farms is intersected with spatial data on ozone, and panel data production and profit function estimation methods are used. The production function does predict a statistically significant negative effect of ozone on wheat yields at the farm level. However, this elasticity is small, and indicates that ozone is unlikely to result in the imposition of substantial external costs on wheat production. The profit function implications regarding ozone are less clear. Although the estimates indicate that ozone depresses wheat farm profits and wheat supply, the elasticities are statistically insignificant, and few definite conclusions can be drawn. We conclude that the farm-level evidence does not show a substantial ozone effect in the UK, and that it may be wise to interpret economic valuations based upon experimental results with some caution.
Reshaping the bubble : implementing global awareness through a senior mathematical lens

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The study examined student perceptions of global issues when introduced through their Logarithms unit in the Principles of Math 12 course and student opinions regarding the suitability of the issues within the course. Through journal books, the students expressed thoughts, ideas, and concerns related to the mathematics and the global issues. With our global environment being threatened in numerous ways, a need to educate through 'responsibility' is essential. In mathematics, students require relevancy when expected to learn increasingly difficult material. The study addresses the questions of: do students concerns for global issues increase when viewed through a mathematical lens and do the students believe that the global issues have a place in the math class? The findings were varied based on individual experiences of students within the study. In summary, the majority of the students gave positive feedback towards the use of the global issues within the math class. However, there were concerns from weak and strong students and from students currently studying similar topics in Geography. As well, several ESL students expressed concerns surrounding their difficulties with the written language, and anxiety regarding their emergent academic standing. The students favoured global exposures in the math class when they were able to actively participate with a solution, and when direct links to the mathematics being studied at the time was relevant to the global issue. Conclusively, more accessible resources are required for instructors, and more time is needed in the classroom to effectively implement, for all learners, global issues in the mathematics course.
Metallicity effect in multi-dimensional SNIa nucleosynthesis

description: We investigate the metallicity effect (measured by the original 22Ne content) on the detailed nucleosynthetic yields for 3D hydrodynamical simulations of the thermonuclear burning phase in SNe Ia. Calculations are based on post-processes of the ejecta, using passively advected tracer particles, as explained in details by Travaglio et al.(2004). The nuclear reaction network employed in computing the explosive nucleosynthesis contains 383 nuclear species. For this work we use the high resolution multi-point ignition (bubbles) model b30_3d_768 (Travaglio et al.2004 for the solar metallicity case), and we cover a metallicity range between 0.1xZ_sun up to 3xZ_sun. We find a linear dependence of the 56Ni mass ejected on the progenitor's metallicity, with a variation in the 56Ni mass of ~25% in the metallicity range explored. Moreover, the largest variation in 56Ni occurs at metallicity greater than solar. Almost no variations are shown in the unburned material 12C and 16O. The largest metallicity effect is seen in the alpha-elements. Finally, implications for the observed scatter in the peak luminosities of SNe Ia are also discussed.

description: We present a combined analysis of fully-contained, partially-contained and upward-going muon atmospheric neutrino data from a 1489 day exposure of the Super--Kamiokande detector. The data samples span roughly five decades in neutrino energy, from 100 MeV to 10 TeV. A detailed Monte Carlo comparison is described and presented. The data is fit to the Monte Carlo expectation, and is found to be consistent with neutrino oscillations of $ν_μ\leftrightarrow ν_τ$ with $\sin^22θ> 0.92$ and $1.5\times 10^{-3} < Δm^2 < 3.4\times 10^{-3}{\rm eV}^2$ at 90% confidence level.

description: Hydrodynamic theories effectively describe many-body systems out of equilibrium in terms of a few macroscopic parameters. However, such hydrodynamic parameters are difficult to derive from microscopics. Seldom is this challenge more apparent than in active matter where the energy cascade mechanisms responsible for autonomous large-scale dynamics are poorly understood. Here, we use active nematics to demonstrate that neural networks can extract the spatio-temporal variation of hydrodynamic parameters directly from experiments. Our algorithms analyze microtubule-kinesin and actin-myosin experiments as computer vision problems. Unlike existing methods, neural networks can determine how multiple parameters such as activity and elastic constants vary with ATP and motor concentration. In addition, we can forecast the evolution of these chaotic many-body systems solely from image-sequences of their past by combining autoencoder and recurrent networks with residual architecture. Our study paves the way for artificial-intelligence characterization and control of coupled chaotic fields in diverse physical and biological systems even when no knowledge of the underlying dynamics exists.

description: In a previous work a random matrix average for the Laguerre unitary ensemble, generalising the generating function for the probability that an interval $ (0,s) $ at the hard edge contains $ k $ eigenvalues, was evaluated in terms of a Painlevé V transcendent in $ σ$-form. However the boundary conditions for the corresponding differential equation were not specified for the full parameter space. Here this task is accomplished in general, and the obtained functional form is compared against the most general small $ s $ behaviour of the Painlevé V equation in $ σ$-form known from the work of Jimbo. An analogous study is carried out for the the hard edge scaling limit of the random matrix average, which we have previously evaluated in terms of a Painlevé \IIId transcendent in $ σ$-form. An application of the latter result is given to the rapid evaluation of a Hankel determinant appearing in a recent work of Conrey, Rubinstein and Snaith relating to the derivative of the Riemann zeta function.
