description: The level of food security in Africa is mainly dependent on climate, poverty, national security, infrastructure and efficiency of production. Efforts at improving food security have been aimed at providing food aid which has been a disincentive to commercial producers and detracted from, the real need for their development. Aid in the form of cash to the destitute will be a far great incentive to local development, production and consequently food security. The role of commercial producers in food security has been underplayed and will contribute the major input to the three dimensions of food security, namely food supply at national and local levels, stability in supply and providing physical and economic access to food. Efforts by government who have social objectives have been ineffective at bringing subsistence farmers into commercial production. Only a few subsistence farmers want to commercialise and this will only be brought about through companies with commercial objectives. These companies will identify those with the necessary entrepreneurial spirit and assist them to settle on land with effective supports systems. The initial pilot projects indicate that with correct selection procedures based particularly on entrepreneurial spirit these emerging commercial farmers can compete extremely well with established commercial farmers. The efforts by the FAO in appreciating the realities of aid and its effect in Africa and consequently changing direction back towards rehabilitation and development is acknowledged.

description: Much of modern condensed matter physics is understood in terms of elementary excitations, or quasiparticles - fundamental quanta of energy and momentum. Various strongly-interacting atomic systems are successfully treated as a collection of quasiparticles with weak or no interactions. However, there are interesting limitations to this description: the very existence of quasiparticles cannot be taken for granted in some systems. Like unstable elementary particles, quasiparticles cannot survive beyond a threshold where certain decay channels become allowed by conservation laws - their spectrum terminates at this threshold. This regime of quasiparticle failure was first predicted for an exotic state of matter, super-fluid helium-4 at temperatures close to absolute zero - a quantum Bose-liquid where zero-point atomic motion precludes crystallization. Using neutron scattering, here we show that it can also occur in a quantum magnet and, by implication, in other systems with Bose-quasiparticles. We have measured spin excitations in a two dimensional (2D) quantum-magnet, piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) in which spin-1/2 copper ions form a non-magnetic quantum spin liquid (QSL), and find remarkable similarities with excitations measured in superfluid 4He. There is a threshold momentum beyond which the quasiparticle peak merges with the two-quasiparticle continuum. It then acquires a finite energy width and becomes indistinguishable from a leading-edge singularity, so that lowest excited states occupy a wide band of energy. Our findings have important ramifications for understanding phenomena involving excitations with gapped spectra in many condensed matter systems, including high-transition-temperature superconductors.

description: The formula for dark energy density derived by Gurzadyan and Xue provides a value of density parameter of dark energy in remarkable agreement with current cosmological datasets, unlike numerous phenomenological dark energy scenarios where the corresponding value is postulated. This formula suggests the possibility of variation of physical constants such as the speed of light and the gravitational constant. Considering several cosmological models based on that formula and deriving the cosmological equations for each case, we show that, in all models source terms appear in the continuity equation. So, one one hand, GX models make up a rich set covering a lot of currently proposed models of dark energy, on the other hand, they reveal hidden symmetries, with a particular role of the separatrix $Ω_m=2/3$, and link with the issue of the content of physical constants.

description: Agricultural researchers widely recognise the importance of sustainable agricultural production systems and the need to develop appropriate methods to measure sustainability. The principal purpose of this paper is to evaluate the financial and environmental aspects of sustainability of Organic, Integrated and Conventional Farming Systems (OFS, IFS, and CFS, respectively) at farm and more detailed spatial scales. This is achieved applying an integrated economic-environmental accounting framework to three case study farms in Tuscany including different farming systems and different spatial scales. The environmental performances of the FS were measured through the application of an Environmental Accounting Information Systems (EAIS) at field, site and farm level. The EAIS indicators were then integrated with (1) a set of financial indicators to evaluate the economic and environmental trade-offs between different FS and (2) with information on the regional and site-specific soil and climate conditions to study the impact of different pedo-climates on the environmental performances of the FS. The gross margins of steady-state OFS were found to be higher than the corresponding CFS gross margins. OFS perform better than I/CFS with respect to nitrogen losses, pesticide impact, herbaceous plant biodiversity and most of the other environmental indicators. However, on hilly soils, erosion revealed to be higher in OFS than in CFS. The pesticide and the nitrogen indicators showed, for this example, that the environmental impact due to integrated and conventional farming practices is similar. Regional pedoclimatic factors resulted to have a considerable impact on nutrient losses, soil erosion, pesticide impact and herbaceous plant biodiversity, site-specific factors on nutrient losses and soil erosion. Conclusions are drawn on the possible practical applications of the method for environmental measures in the agricultural sector.

description: In our paper, we briefly discuss the outlook for the main agricultural sectors in Hungary until 2013, and present some of the latest results of our modelling work at the Research Institute for Agricultural Economics (AKI). In addition, we provide a short methodological overview of the applied modelling tools. To strengthen the quantitative analysis capacity during the pre-accession period, AKI developed a partial equilibrium model (Hungarian Simulation Model or HUSIM) by the end of the 1990's. Since then, AKI has been regularly carrying out agricultural policy analyses by applying this economic model. After gathering experiences with HUSIM, strong demand was raised on a modelling tool that enables us to investigate the structural changes in agriculture in more depth by focusing on the main sectors and their interrelationships. According to this concept, a partial equilibrium model, FARM-T was developed, which uses farm groups as agents to investigate the changes in agricultural output and the underlying structural progress. The first part of our paper describes the concept and structure of this model in more detail. In the second part, we focus our investigation on the changes in production structure and competitiveness on domestic and foreign markets. Only a few years after EU accession, Hungarian farmers again face considerable challenges: due to the full or partial decoupling of Complementary National Direct Payments already in 2007, the expected introduction of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) in 2009, the probable abolishing of the EU cereals intervention regime, and the compulsory blending of bio-fuels, major changes in the agricultural sectors are foreseen. But structural problems and the lack of capital for modernization may slow down the adjustment process.

description: In the last years, a lot of important changes occurred inside the European Union after the entering of 12 new member States. The rate of economic growth of the new member States has been higher the other EU members. In Hungary, particularly, the growth level has reached an intermediate position, placing itself at 4% GDP per capita. Comparative analysis are needed to better understand the process of catching-up and to evaluate how the integration between EU regions and countries is going on. The aim of this paper is to compare the economic and efficiency performance of firms in Hungary and Emilia-Romagna, considering a specific sector, meat processing and storage, of the food industry). We will investigate if in the last years the integration process has ultimately led to narrow the gap in the economic performances and efficiency of the firms. The choice of meat processing industry is due to the fact that in Hungary there's a remarkable animal production, whereas in the Emilia-Romagna region the meat industry reflects an organizational structure based on the concentration and specialization in agri-food 'districts;. This paper compares the financial-economic performances and the technical efficiency of firms involved in the industry of meat processing in Hungary and in an Italian region, Emilia-Romagna. We will also discuss and compare the different results obtained throughout governance and structure of meat industry. We will underline the main role of the "industrial districts" in Emilia-Romagna, and how the Hungarian entrepreneurial system could handle the competition in the global market.

description: We present medium-dispersion spectra and narrowband images of six northern compact planetary nebulae (PNe): BoBn 1, DdDm 1, IC 5117, M 1-5, M 1-71, and NGC 6833. From broad-slit spectra, total absolute fluxes and equivalent widths were measured for all observable emission lines. High signal-to noise emission line fluxes of H-alpha, H-beta, [OIII], [NII], and HeI may serve as emission line flux standards for northern hemisphere observers. From narrow-slit spectra, we derive systemic radial velocities. For four PNe, available emission line fluxes were measured with sufficient signal-to-noise to probe the physical properties of their electron densities, temperatures, and chemical abundances. BoBn 1 and DdDm 1, both type IV PNe, have an H-beta flux over three sigma away from previous measurements. We report the first abundance measurements of M 1-71. NGC 6833 measured radial velocity and galactic coordinates suggest that it is associated with the outer arm or possibly the galactic halo, and its low abundance ([O/H]=1.3x10E-4) may be indicative of low metallicity within that region.

Year: 2020

description: This is a short review in the theory of chaos in Bohmian Quantum Mechanics based on our series of works in this field. Our first result is the development of a generic theoretical mechanism responsible for the generation of chaos in an arbitrary Bohmian system (in 2 and 3 dimensions). This mechanism allows us to explore the effect of chaos on Bohmian trajectories and study in detail (both analytically and numerically) the different kinds of Bohmian trajectories where, in general, chaos and order coexist. Finally we explore the effect of quantum entanglement on the evolution of the Bohmian trajectories and study chaos and ergodicity in qubit systems which are of great theoretical and practical interest. We find that the chaotic trajectories are also ergodic, i.e. they give the same final distribution of their points after a long time regardless of their initial conditions. In the case of strong entanglement most trajectories are chaotic and ergodic and an arbitrary initial distribution of particles will tends to Born's rule over the course of time. On the other hand, in the case of weak entanglement the distribution of Born's rule is dominated by ordered trajectories and consequently an arbitrary initial configuration of particles will not tend, in general, to Born's rule, unless it is initially satisfied. Our results shed light on a fundamental problem in Bohmian Mechanics, namely whether there is a dynamical approximation of Born's rule by an arbitrary initial distribution of Bohmian particles.

description: The low in-plane symmetry in layered 1T'-ReS$_2$ results in strong band anisotropy, while its manifestation in the electronic properties is challenging to resolve due to the lack of effective approaches for controlling the local current path. In this work, we reveal the giant transport anisotropy in monolayer to four-layer ReS$_2$ by creating directional conducting paths via nanoscale ferroelectric control. By reversing the polarization of a ferroelectric polymer top layer, we induce conductivity switching ratio of >1.5x10$^8$ in the ReS$_2$ channel at 300 K. Characterizing the domain-defined conducting nanowires in an insulating background shows that the conductivity ratio between the directions along and perpendicular to the Re-chain can exceed 5.5x10$^4$. Theoretical modeling points to the band origin of the transport anomaly, and further reveals the emergence of a flat band in few-layer ReS$_2$. Our work paves the path for implementing the highly anisotropic 2D materials for designing novel collective phenomena and electron lensing applications.

Classification capabilities of neural networks : a comparative study using student academic performance
Creators: name: Prompibalcheep, Sansern Art
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Among the emerging information technologies, neural networks have been increasingly recognized as a powerful method for classifying and predicting complex data. There have been a number of neural network paradigms being developed. Each paradigm has its own specific features that are applicable to particular tasks. The most popular neural network paradigm among users in the management area is the backpropagation. This paradigm has been extensively tested and proven to outperform traditional techniques on several classification tasks. However, there have been only a few studies determining the comparative capabilities of the backpropagation paradigm to other paradigms that are potentially applicable to the same task. The main purpose of this thesis research is to investigate capabilities and performance of two neural network paradigms: backpropagation and learning vector quantization (LVQ). The other purpose is to prove that neural networks outperform a traditional technique of ordered probit model, which is used as a performance benchmark. In this study, the two neural network paradigms and the ordered probit model are utilized to classify and predict the academic performance of UBC Commerce students. For each paradigm, a number of neural network models with distinct configurations are developed. The first investigation determines how well each paradigm performs in classifying and predicting academic success. The results from running those models on both training and validation samples show that the backpropagation paradigm significantly performs better than the LVQ paradigm in most instances. The second investigation compares the best performance of those paradigms with the performance of ordered probit model. After utilizing the ANOVA to test the statistical significance of difference in prediction performance, the findings show that both backpropagation and LVQ paradigms have higher performance levels than ordered probit model. However, the difference between the performance of backpropagtion and ordered probit model is significant at only the 90% confidence level. On the other hand, the difference between performances of LVQ and ordered probit model is significant at the much higher level of 95%. Essentially, the study has shown that the backpropagation paradigm, on the average, still outperforms the LVQ paradigm in classifying and predicting complex data. The study has also proven that both backpropagation and LVQ are significantly better prediction techniques than the ordered probit approach.

description: This paper explores a class of empirical Bayes methods for level-dependent threshold selection in wavelet shrinkage. The prior considered for each wavelet coefficient is a mixture of an atom of probability at zero and a heavy-tailed density. The mixing weight, or sparsity parameter, for each level of the transform is chosen by marginal maximum likelihood. If estimation is carried out using the posterior median, this is a random thresholding procedure; the estimation can also be carried out using other thresholding rules with the same threshold. Details of the calculations needed for implementing the procedure are included. In practice, the estimates are quick to compute and there is software available. Simulations on the standard model functions show excellent performance, and applications to data drawn from various fields of application are used to explore the practical performance of the approach. By using a general result on the risk of the corresponding marginal maximum likelihood approach for a single sequence, overall bounds on the risk of the method are found subject to membership of the unknown function in one of a wide range of Besov classes, covering also the case of f of bounded variation. The rates obtained are optimal for any value of the parameter p in (0,\infty], simultaneously for a wide range of loss functions, each dominating the L_q norm of the \sigmath derivative, with σ\ge0 and 0

description: We study inclusive jet suppression and modifications in the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) with a transport-based model. The model includes vacuum-like parton shower evolution at high-virtuality, a linearized transport for jet-medium interactions, and a simple ansatz for the jet-induced hydrodynamic response of the medium. Model parameters are calibrated to nuclear modification factors for inclusive hadron $R_{AA}^{h}$ and single inclusive jets $R_{AA}^{j}$ with cone size $R=0.4$ in 0-10% central Au-Au and Pb-Pb collisions measured at the RHIC and LHC. The calibrated model consistently describes the cone-size dependent $R_{AA}^{j}(R)$, modifications to inclusive jet fragmentation functions and jet shape. We discuss the origin of these modifications by analyzing the medium-induced jet energy flow in this model and elucidate the interplay of hard parton evolution and jet-induced medium response. In particular, we demonstrate that the excess of soft hadrons at $p_T\sim 2$ GeV/$c$ in jet fragmentation function and jet shape at large $r=\sqrt{Δη^2+Δϕ^2}$ are consequences of both soft medium-induced gluon radiation and jet-induced medium excitation.

description: The last forty years have seen a dramatic decrease in wine consumption in France. In 1965, the wine consumption per people per year was 160 liters ; in 2005, people didn't drink more than 70 liters of wine in a year. Moreover, from 1980 to 1990, people over 14 years who drunk wine have decreased from 80 to 67 % of the population. In 2005, only 62 % of them pretended drinking wine. That is one million French people less than in 2000. This decline in wine market can be explained by the fact that young people consume less wine than older people. This article identifies authenticity as a factor explaining purchasing behavior of young consumers. Findings suggests that the label of bottled wine influences young consumers' choice of wine. Originality and projection are two dimensions of the authenticity explaining how young consumers perceive performance risk, perceived price and purchase intentions.

description: We consider exact solutions to the problem of ballistic aggregation in a flow of adhesive particles, providing a model for large-scale structure formation in cosmology within the framework of the Zel'dovich approximation. Two different explicit variational constructions, suggested for this problem by (A. Shnirelman, 1986) and (E Weinan et al, 1996) in the case of flat symmetry, are shown to be equivalent. Explicit solutions are constructed for flows of cylindric and spherical symmetry. Two explicit counterexamples, showing that natural generalizations of both variational constructions fail to provide solutions for nonsymmetric multidimensional flows, are presented.

description: This work discusses the optimal reconfigurable intelligent surface placement in highly-directional millimeter wave links. In particular, we present a novel system model that takes into account the relationship between the transmission beam footprint at the RIS plane and the RIS size. Subsequently, based on the model we derive the end-to-end expression of the received signal power and, furthermore, provide approximate closed-form expressions in the case that the RIS size is either much smaller or at least equal to the transmission beam footprint. Moreover, building upon the expressions, we derive the optimal RIS placement that maximizes the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, we substantiate the analytical findings by means of simulations, which reveal important trends regarding the optimal RIS placement according to the system parameters.

Slovenian Biography as a Biographical Hub and the TEI Encoding: a Minimalist or Realistic Approach to Semantic Richness of Data?
Creators: name: Ogrin, Matija
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Slovenian Biography is a portal linking the three main Slovenian biographical lexica into a unified resource. The lexicon articles and the biographical data they contain are encoded and structured according to TEI Guidelines. In the presentation, we show the diverse use of TEI encoding as a crucial basis for the life of our biographical portal. We had to find a realistic way between the various possibilities of semantic tagging and the practical needs to achieve the desired result: online publication and widespread use that establishes Slovenian Biography as an indispensable public service of cultural life. However, there are still a number of possibilities for further semantic enrichment.

description: We revisit the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment in the Standard Model and show that its triple gluon vertex contribution, with the on-shell gluon ($q^2=0$), generates an infrared divergent pole. Consequently, the chromomagnetic dipole should not be perturbatively evaluated at $q^2=0$. Focusing on this top quark anomaly, denoted as $\hatμ_t(q^2)$, we compute it with the off-shell gluon with a large momentum transfer, just as the $α_s(m_Z^2)$ convention scale, for both spacelike $q^2=-m_Z^2$ and timelike $q^2=m_Z^2$ cases. We found that $\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ $=$ $-0.0224$ $-0.000925i$ and $\hatμ_t(m_Z^2)$ $=$ $-0.0133$ $-0.0267i$. Our $\mathrm{Re}\thinspace\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ matches well with the current experimental value $\hatμ_t^\mathrm{Exp}=-0.024_{-0.009}^{+0.013}(\mathrm{stat})_{-0.011}^{+0.016}(\mathrm{syst})$, and the $\mathrm{Im}\thinspace\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ part is induced by flavour changing charged currents.

description: We numerically investigate the minimum number of interacting particles, which is required for the onset of strong chaos in quantum systems on a one-dimensional lattice with short-range and long-range interactions. We consider multiple system sizes which are at least three times larger than the number of particles and find that robust signatures of quantum chaos emerge for as few as 4 particles in the case of short-range interactions and as few as 3 particles for long-range interactions, and without any apparent dependence on the size of the system.

Tracing the distribution and evolution of Iron in the IntraCluster Medium

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Emission lines in X-ray spectra of clusters of galaxies reveal the presence of heavy elements in the diffuse hot plasma (ICM) in virial equilibrium in the dark matter potential well. Thanks to the X-ray satellites Chandra and XMM-Newton we are now able to measure with good accuracy the distribution and evolution of Iron up to redshift z ~ 1.3. The capability of studying the chemical and thermodynamical properties of the ICM in high redshift clusters is an efficient tool to constrain the interaction processes between the cluster galaxies and the surrounding medium. We confirm that the ICM is already significantly enriched at a look-back time of 9 Gyr, and find that the Iron abundance change with redshift as (1+z)^(-1.25), implying an increase of a factor of ~2 with respect to z=1.3. This result can be explained by a prompt enrichment by star formation processes in massive ellipticals at z>2, followed by a slower release of enriched gas from disk galaxies into the ICM, associated to a morphological transition from disk to S0.

description: Based on its distinctive profiles functional-food (FF) can be considered as a mixture of food and pharmaceutical items. Apparently, these different characteristics that exist beyond conventional food products contribute success of the commercialization of new innovative FFs. Therefore, assumption can be made by arguing that for the marketing a FF a distinctive marketing-strategic beyond the one usually used for the conventional food products must be employed. This study was pursued with the main aims to understand the consumer's psychological factors and to find out elements important to setting up the marketing strategy. These two findings will be then used as basis for designing a distinctive marketing strategy for a FF. We found that consumer's psychological set varied across different sample groups. Therefore, segmentation plays a significant role. Due to the fact that most of the consumers had a medium to high involvement level, communication strategy becomes a salient means for the marketing of FFs. According to the respondents some important extrinsic/intrinsic quality based elements of FF can be generally incorporated into the communication platforms for FF. From the industry's point of view this study showed that internal organizational and management, market attractiveness and trade capability are the most important elements supporting a firm in developing a new innovative FF in Indonesia.
