description: We present the results of spectroscopic observations of galaxies associated with the diffuse X-ray emitting structure discovered by Zappacosta et al. (2002). After measuring the redshifts of 161 galaxies, we confirm an overdensity of galaxies with projected dimensions of at least 2 Mpc, determine its spectroscopic redshift in z=0.401+/-0.002, and show that it is spatially coincident with the diffuse X-ray emission. This confirms the original claim that this X-ray emission has an extragalactic nature and is due to the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). We used this value of the redshift to compute the temperature of the emitting gas. The resulting value depends on the metallicity that is assumed for the IGM, and is constrained to be between 0.3 and 0.6 keV for metallicities between 0.05 and 0.3 solar, in good agreement with the expectations from the WHIM.

description: Growing milk production, stagnating domestic consumption and ongoing liberalization of the worldwide milk market have led to the increasing export of milk and milk products out of Germany. This situation increases the competition for German dairies’ market share on foreign markets. The German dairy industry, which comprises of some international corporations but also many medium sized companies, including both cooperatives and privately owned companies, therefore has to find strategies to compete successfully on international markets. This study analyses the German dairy industry in the view of different internationalization strategies and their influence on the economic success of the firms. 18 German dairy companies are analysed. We identified different internationalization strategies in reference to Perlmutter’s EPRG model. To measure economic success, we analysed annual reports from the dairy companies observed over the years 2010 to 2017 and so calculated different key figures. The influence of different internationalization strategies on economic success is analysed by a random effects model where the EBIT-margin is the dependent variable in our model, representing economic success. We found out that the companies of the German dairy industry pursue different internationalisation strategies and that these have a different influence on the economic success of the companies.

description: We report on the magneto-optical spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence of a set of wurtzite (Ga,Mn)N epilayers with a low Mn content, grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The sharpness of the absorption lines associated to the Mn$^{3+}$ internal transitions allows a precise study of its Zeeman effect in both Faraday and Voigt configurations. We obtain a good agreement if we assume a dynamical Jahn-Teller effect in the 3d$^{4}$ configuration of Mn, and we determine the parameters of the effective Hamiltonians describing the $^{5}T\_{2}$ and $^{5}E$ levels, and those of the spin Hamiltonian in the ground spin multiplet, from which the magnetization of the isolated ion can be calculated. On layers grown on transparent substrates, transmission close to the band gap, and the associated magnetic circular dichroism, reveal the presence of the giant Zeeman effect resulting from exchange interactions between the Mn$^{3+}$ ions and the carriers. The spin-hole interaction is found to be ferromagnetic.

description: The aim of this study is to identify if consumers’ knowledge about wine is a factor which contribute to change wine appreciation. A consumer survey was carried-out in France in 2014 with 407 consumers. The test was focusing on sensory evaluation of 37 red wines from Bourgogne. Two ways of evaluation were used visual and smell-&-taste evaluation. This was done first, without any information about sample, second, with information about wine. Consumers were asked to fill-in questionnaire focusing on their knowledge about wine. The results are significant whatever the way of evaluation used. Some participants were heavily influenced by the information displayed and they modified their note positively. Connoisseur and Expert clusters appreciate more the wines tasted than Amateur or Novice ones. Information and gender have a significant impact on appreciation of Burgundy red wines.

description: Brownian dynamics algorithms integrate numerically Langevin equations and allow to probe long time scales in simulations. A common requirement for such algorithms is that interactions in the system should vary little during an integration time step: therefore, computational efficiency worsens as the interactions become steeper. In the extreme case of hard-body interactions, standard numerical integrators become ill defined. Several approximate schemes have been invented to handle such cases with little emphasis on testing the correctness of the integration scheme. Starting from the two-body Smoluchowsky equation, we discuss a general method for the overdamped Brownian dynamics of hard-spheres, recently developed by one of us. We test the accuracy of the algorithm with the exact solution of the Smoluchowsky equation in the case of twobody collisions and in the low-density limit.

Social Media Analytics in Food Innovation and Production: a Review
Creators: name: Kosior, Katarzyna
Publisher: name: Proceedings in Food System Dynamics
Year: 2019

description: Until recently social media and social media analytics (SMA) were basically used only for communication and marketing purposes. However, thanks to advances in digital technologies and big data analytics, potential applications of SMA extend now to production processes and overall business management. As a result, SMA has become an important tool for gaining and sustaining competitive advantage across various sectors, industries and end-markets. Yet, the food industry still lags behind when it comes to the use of digital technologies and advanced data analytics. A part of the explanation lies in the limited knowledge of potential applications of SMA in food innovation and production. The aim of this paper is to provide a review of literature on possible uses of SMA in the food industry sector and to discuss both the benefits, risks, and limitations of SMA in food innovation and production. Based on the literature review, it is concluded that mining social media data for insights can create significant business value for the food industry enterprises and food service sector organizations. On the other hand, many proposals for using SMA in the food domain still await direct experimental tests. More research and insights concerning risks and limitations of SMA in the food sector would be also needed. The issue of responsible data analytics as part of Corporate Digital Responsibility and Corporate Social Responsibility of enterprises using social media data for food innovation and production also requires a greater attention.

description: The present technical study provides the results and a summary of the most important lessons learned from implementation of a series of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the rice supply chains of Gagnoa in Côte d’Ivoire. The aim of the CSA practices was to enhance the adaptive capacity of the rice sector against climate change, as erratic rainfall patterns and droughts events have, historically, significantly impacted production. This study relies on data collected at farm and processing levels during two field missions to two pilot sites in August 2017 and September 2018 under the project “Contribution à l’atteinte des objectifs liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire via l’agriculture intelligente face au climat en Côte d’Ivoire – cas de la filière riz”. This project is a technical cooperation project implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 2016 and 2018. The study provides a series of recommendations for policymakers, including incentives for the development of a modern bioenergy sector in Côte d’Ivoire which are still nascent.

We study the role of masses and the renormalization group flow in the calculation of the equation of state up to two loops within the MSbar scheme. Two-loop integrals are computed analytically for arbitrary fermion and scalar masses, and expressed in terms of well-known special functions. The dependence of the renormalization group flow on the number of fermion flavors is also discussed.

Resampling-based variance estimators in ratio estimation with application to weigh scaling
Creators: name: Ladak, Al-Karim Madatally
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Weigh scaling is a method of estimating the total volume of timber harvested from a given region. The implementation of statistical sampling techniques in weigh scaling is described, along with related issues. A review of ratio estimators, along with variance estimators of the classical ratio estimator is conducted. The estimation of the variance of the estimated total volume is considered using jackknife- and bootstrap-based variance estimators. Weighted versions of the jackknife and bootstrap variance estimators are derived using influence functions and Fisher Information matrices. Empirical studies of analytic and resampling-based variance estimators are conducted, with particular emphasis on small sample properties and on robustness with respect to both the homoscedastic variance and zero-intercept population characteristics. With a squared error loss function, the resampling-based variance estimators are shown to perform very well at all sample sizes in finite populations with normally distributed errors. These estimators are found to have small negative biases for small sample sizes and to be robust with respect to heteroscedasticity.

We obtain the swimming velocity and hydrodynamic force exerted on an infinitely long cylinder with prescribed beating pattern. We use these results to examine the swimming of a simplified sliding-filament model for a sperm flagellum. Viscoelasticity tends to decrease swimming speed, and changes in the beating patterns due to viscoelasticity can reverse swimming direction.

description: A scale invariant spectrum of isocurvature perturbations is generated during collapse in the scaling solution in models where two or more fields have steep negative exponential potentials. The scale invariance of the spectrum is realised by a tachyonic instability in the isocurvature field. We show that this instability is due to the fact that the scaling solution is a saddle point in the phase space. The late time attractor is identified with a single field dominated ekpyrotic collapse in which a steep blue spectrum for isocurvature perturbations is found. Although quantum fluctuations do not necessarily to disrupt the classical solution, an additional preceding stage is required to establish classical homogeneity.

description: The subtropical jet stream in the upper troposphere over Australia is an important feature of Southern Hemisphere climate during winter. However, there is little understanding of the causes of its year-to-year variability and its role for influencing interactions between the tropics and other regions. This thesis used observational datasets to reveal how variability in the tropical oceans and mid-latitude weather systems impact variations of the jet stream. A range of climate model experiments were also designed that highlighted the importance of the subtropical jet stream in shaping the atmospheric circulation response to tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean atmospheric heating.

description: We study the relationship between the entanglement, mixedness and energy of two-qubit and two-mode Gaussian quantum states. We parametrize the set of allowed states of these two fundamentally different physical systems using measures of entanglement, mixedness and energy that allow us to compare and contrast the two systems using a phase diagram. This phase diagram enables one to clearly identify not only the physically allowed states, but the set of states connected under an arbitrary quantum operation. We pay particular attention to the maximally entangled mixed states (MEMS) of each system. Following this we investigate how efficiently one may transfer entanglement from two-mode to two-qubit states.

description: Using high signal-to-noise ratio VLT/FORS2 long-slit spectroscopy, we have studied the properties of the central stellar populations and dynamics of a sample of S0 galaxies in the Fornax Cluster. The central absorption-line indices in these galaxies correlate well with the central velocity dispersions (Sigma0) in accordance with what previous studies found for elliptical galaxies. However, contrary to what it is usually assumed for cluster ellipticals, the observed correlations seem to be driven by systematic age and alpha-element abundance variations, and not changes in overall metallicity. We also found that the observed scatter in the Index-Sigma0 relations can be partially explained by the rotationally-supported nature of these systems. Indeed, even tighter correlations exist between the line indices and the maximum circular velocity of the galaxies. This study suggests that the dynamical mass is the physical property driving these correlations, and for S0 galaxies such masses have to be estimated assuming a large degree of rotational support. The observed trends imply that the most massive S0s have the shortest star-formation timescales and the oldest stellar populations.

description: The series of Uranium isotopes with $N=154 \sim 172$ around the magic number N=162/164 are identified to be thermally fissile. The thermal neutron fission of a typical representative $^{249}$U of this region amenable to synthesis in the radioactive ion beam facilities is considered here. Semiempirical study of fission barrier height and width shows this nucleus to be infinitely stable against spontaneous fission due to increase in barrier width arising out of excess neutrons. Calculation of probability of fragment mass yields and microscopic study in relativistic mean field theory, show this nucleus to undergo a new mode of thermal fission decay termed {\it multifragmentation fission} where a number of prompt scission neutrons are simultaneously released along with the two heavy fission fragments.

description: The dynamics of planar crack fronts in heterogeneous media is studied using a recently proposed stochastic equation of motion that takes into account nonlinear effects. The analysis is carried for a moving front in the quasi-static regime using the Self Consistent Expansion. A continuous dynamical phase transition between a flat phase and a dynamically rough phase, with a roughness exponent $ζ=1/2$, is found. The rough phase becomes possible due to the destabilization of the linear modes by the nonlinear terms. Taking into account the irreversibility of the crack propagation, we infer that the roughness exponent found in experiments might become history-dependent, and so our result gives a lower bound for $ζ$.

A chromatographic method for estimating hydrophobic and electrostatic surface properties of soluble proteins
Creators: name: Wijewickreme, Arosha Nilmini
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this research experiments were carried out to estimate hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions in soluble proteins. Five proteins, lysozyme, lactalbumin, ovalbumin, myoglobin and ribonuclease-A were chromatographed isocratically on a HIC column at several molalities (0.3-1.3m) of each of three different neutral salts, ferrous sulfate, ammonium sulfate and sodium sulfate. The calculated retention coefficients were then fitted to a recently developed chromatographic model in two ways. a) Multiple regression analysis was conducted to estimate C values according to the non-linear model (log k = A + B log m + C m) . b) Simple regression analysis was conducted to estimate C′ values according to the linear model (log k = A′ + C′m) at higher salt concentrations (above 0.3m). Results indicated that C′ values better estimate the hydrophobic interactions than C values, in experiments conducted only at higher salt concentrations. The comparison of C and C′ values with ANS, CPA, and Bigelow's average hydrophobicity indices showed no clear correlations. But, omission of ovalbumin improved the correlation coefficient of C′ with ANS. Both parameters indicated straight line relationships with molal surface tension increment of salts. Further, the same model was used to estimate the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions in protein-protein interactions. Lysozyme and avidin were chromatographed on a lysozyme immobilized affinity column. Lysozyme-lysozyme interaction showed more affinity for hydrophobic interactions at low pH values. Avidin-lysozyme interaction showed both hydrophophobic and electrostatic interactions. Both interactions showed a greater change in the strength of hydrophobic interaction rather than the surface area of interaction, to changing pH.
Design patterns for an urban waterfront--a case study : designing the sea-walk of West Vancouver
Creators: name: Li, Baozhang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The paper consists of five steps. The first step is to study and explore theories of order, time image, and meaning of place. A hypothetical equation is proposed which defines a place as having three basic components: time, order and meaning. Special attention is paid to the time image of a place through the thesis. The second step is to organize the theories as a set of systematic design ideas. Twelve design categories are further introduced, which include Rhythm, Season, Celebration, Layer, Future, Sequence, Derelict, Night, Center, Boundary, and Sacred Places. The third step is to generate a set of patterns for the waterfront design under twelve design topics. Pattern is a bridge between principle and design. The conversion of a design idea into a design pattern can be seen as a procedure to test the validity of design ideas. The fourth step is to apply the design patterns to a specific site on the West Vancouver Waterfront. In a sense, the application of the patterns is an experiment, aimed at testing the patterns, hence the whole thesis as a hypothesis. The final step is to review and evaluate the thesis and the project.

description: A key challenge for modern Bayesian statistics is how to perform scalable inference of posterior distributions. To address this challenge, variational Bayes (VB) methods have emerged as a popular alternative to the classical Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. VB methods tend to be faster while achieving comparable predictive performance. However, there are few theoretical results around VB. In this article, we establish frequentist consistency and asymptotic normality of VB methods. Specifically, we connect VB methods to point estimates based on variational approximations, called frequentist variational approximations, and we use the connection to prove a variational Bernstein–von Mises theorem. The theorem leverages the theoretical characterizations of frequentist variational approximations to understand asymptotic properties of VB. In summary, we prove that (1) the VB posterior converges to the Kullback–Leibler (KL) minimizer of a normal distribution, centered at the truth and (2) the corresponding variational expectation of the parameter is consistent and asymptotically normal. As applications of the theorem, we derive asymptotic properties of VB posteriors in Bayesian mixture models, Bayesian generalized linear mixed models, and Bayesian stochastic block models. We conduct a simulation study to illustrate these theoretical results. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We investigate correlation effects in the regime of a few electrons in uncapped InAs quantum dots by tunneling spectroscopy and wave function (WF) mapping at high tunneling currents where electron-electron interactions become relevant. Four clearly resolved states are found, whose approximate symmetries are roughly s and p, in order of increasing energy. Because the major axes of the p-like states coincide, the WF sequence is inconsistent with the imaging of independent-electron orbitals. The results are explained in terms of many-body tunneling theory, by comparing measured maps with those calculated by taking correlation effects into account.

description: Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) are one of the main limitations for extreme Adaptive Optics (AO) system. NCPA prevent extreme AO systems to achieve their ultimate performance. These static aberrations are unseen by the wave front sensor and therefore not corrected in closed loop. We present experimental results validating new procedures of measurement and pre-compensation of the NCPA on the AO bench at ONERA. The measurement procedure is based on new refined algorithms of phase diversity. The pre-compensation procedure makes use of a pseudo-closed loop scheme to overcome the AO wavefront sensor model uncertainties. Strehl Ratio obtained in the images reaches 98.7% @ 632.8 nm. This result allows us to be confident of achieving the challenging performance required for extrasolar planet direct observation.

description: Charge carriers of graphene show neutrino-like linear energy dispersions as well as chiral behavior near the Dirac point. Here we report highly unusual and unexpected behaviors of these carriers in applied external periodic potentials, i.e., in graphene superlattices. The group velocity renormalizes highly anisotropically even to a degree that it is not changed at all for states with wavevector in one direction but is reduced to zero in another, implying the possibility that one can make nanoscale electronic circuits out of graphene not by cutting it but by drawing on it in a non-destructive way. Also, the type of charge carrier species (e.g. electron, hole or open orbit) and their density of states vary drastically with the Fermi energy, enabling one to tune the Fermi surface-dominant properties significantly with gate voltage. These results address the fundamental question of how chiral massless Dirac fermions propagate in periodic potentials and point to a new possible path for nanoscale electronics.

description: Let T* be a random field indexed by an Abelian compact group G, and suppose that T* has the form T* = F(T(g)), where T is Gaussian and isotropic. The aim of this paper is to establish high-frequency central limit theorems for the Fourier coefficients associated to T*. The proofs of our main results involve recently established criteria for the weak convergence of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals. Our research is motivated by physical applications, mainly related to the probabilistic modelization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. In this connection, the case of the n-dimensional torus is analyzed in detail.

Evidence for a backward peak in the gamma+d->pi^0+d cross section near the eta threshold

description: High-quality cross sections for the reaction gamma+d->pi^0+d have been measured using the CLAS at Jefferson Lab over a wide energy range near and above the eta-meson photoproduction threshold. At backward c.m. angles for the outgoing pions, we observe a resonance-like structure near E_gamma=700 MeV. Our model analysis shows that it can be explained by eta excitation in the intermediate state. The effect is the result of the contribution of the N(1535)S_11 resonance to the amplitudes of the subprocesses occurring between the two nucleons and of a two-step process in which the excitation of an intermediate eta meson dominates.
