description: We have found a manifestation of spin-orbit Berry phase in the conductance of a mesoscopic loop with Rashba spin-orbit coupling placed in an external magnetic field perpendicular to the loop plane. In detail, the transmission probabilities for a straight quantum wire and for a quantum loop made of the same wire have been calculated and compared with each other. The difference between them has been investigated and identified with a manifestation of spin-orbit Berry phase. The non-adiabaticity effects at small radii of the loop have been found as well.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We present a solution of the vacuum Einstein's equations in five dimensions corresponding to a black ring with horizon topology S^1 x S^2 and rotation in the azimuthal direction of the S^2. This solution has a regular horizon up to a conical singularity, which can be placed either inside the ring or at infinity. This singularity arises due to the fact that this black ring is not balanced. In the infinite radius limit we correctly reproduce the Kerr black string, and taking another limit we recover the Myers-Perry black hole with a single angular momentum.

A comparison of trapping methodologies and grid size for small mammal research
Creators: name: Moreau, France
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study was designed to compare two distinct trapping systems in their ability to assess small mammal abundance, and to determine the optimal number of days to adequately sample populations. The hypothesis tested was that trapping for short periods of time throughout the field season would yield a more frequent regime of results, compared to trapping for longer periods two or three times a year. The study area was in Summerland, British Columbia, where deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), montane voles (Microtus montanus) and Great Basin pocket mice (Perognathus parvus) were livetrapped in grasslands on six 1-ha replicate grids from June to October 1997. Three of the grids were sampled for two consecutive nights, every three weeks, from June to October. The other three grids were trapped for ten consecutive nights in June, August and October. I suggest that trapping for short periods of time throughout the year or field season will give a better estimate of small mammal population dynamics. A minimum of two and maximum of four night trapping sessions throughout the field season is recommended. An additional objective of this study was to evaluate the differences between estimates of small mammal population densities from grids of different sizes, and to determine the optimal grid size in estimating abundance. The hypothesis tested was that 1-ha grids would be as precise as larger grids in assessing small mammal abundance. Study areas were located in Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops and Prince George, British Columbia. For Experiment A, deer mice and northwestern chipmunks (Tamias amoenus) were trapped on 5-ha grids from May to October 1991 and 1992, and population estimates from 1- and 2-ha grids within the 5-ha grids were compared. For Experiment B, Northwestern chipmunks were sampled on 1- and 9-ha grids from May to August, 1990 and 1991. One ha grids were found to be as precise as 2-and 5-ha grids for density estimation of deer mice and northwestern chipmunks. However, estimates from the 1-ha grids were higher than estimates from the 9-ha grids. Additional research should focus on using identical methodologies and trap type for both 1- and 9-ha grids.

description: An updated picture of EuroMed agreements is provided, focusing on preferential treatment in agro-food trade and identifying major EU's commodities and countries to be affected. EU-SEMC agro-food trade is analysed using a set of indicators, such as indexes of trade specialisation, similarity and complementarity. The findings show that preferential agro-food liberalisation between EU and SEMC is still weak and only partially capable to meet both the goals stated by the EuroMed Partnership and EU's aim to strengthen its Mediterranean ties. SEMC show the highest export specialisation indexes for fruit and vegetables, oils and fats, flowers; for the EU the highest values are shown for fibre crop, cereals, live animals. Export similarity indexes suggest that Spain, Greece, Holland, Italy and Portugal could face greater competition with SEMC exports, while the SEMC-EU complementarity is stronger for Belgium, Germany, Holland and France.

description: The paper presents a general introduction to the structure and the characteristics of AGLINK, in comparison with the other most important global multi-commodity partial equilibrium models. Special reference is made to policy modelling, and particularly to the representation of the most important CAP tools, grouped into four types; direct price support, trade measures, supply management tools, and partially decoupled payments. The model is one of the most interesting efforts, especially in terms of its ability to effectively represent EU agricultural policy tools. The high level of institutional control exerted by the OECD member countries provides AGLINK with a particularly high-level of expertise, and a constant update of information; but it also prevents its results from being solely of a scientific nature.

description: We investigate gradual variations on the Calculus of Inductive Construction (CIC) for swifter prototyping with imprecise types and terms. We observe, with a no-go theorem, a crucial tradeoff between graduality and the key properties of normalization and closure of universes under dependent product that CIC enjoys. Beyond this Fire Triangle of Graduality, we explore the gradualization of CIC with three different compromises, each relaxing one edge of the Fire Triangle. We develop a parametrized presentation of Gradual CIC (GCIC) that encompasses all three variations, and develop their metatheory. We first present a bidirectional elaboration of GCIC to a dependently-typed cast calculus, CastCIC, which elucidates the interrelation between typing, conversion, and the gradual guarantees. We use a syntactic model of CastCIC to inform the design of a safe, confluent reduction, and establish, when applicable, normalization. We study the static and dynamic gradual guarantees as well as the stronger notion of graduality with embedding-projection pairs formulated by New and Ahmed, using appropriate semantic model constructions. This work informs and paves the way towards the development of malleable proof assistants and dependently-typed programming languages.

description: We report on first results of an ongoing effort to image a small sample of high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) with milliarcsecond (mas) resolution, using very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) techniques. Here, we present 1.7 and 5.0 GHz VLBA observations of B3 J2330+3927, a radio galaxy at z=3.087. Those observations, combined with 8.4 GHz VLA-A observations, have helped us interpret the source radio morphology, and most of our results have already been published (Perez-Torres & De Breuck 2005). In particular, we pinpointed the core of the radio galaxy, and also detected both radio lobes, which have a very asymmetric flux density ratio, R>11. Contrary to what is seen in other radio galaxies, it is the radio lobe furthest from the nucleus which is the brighest. Almost all of the Ly-alpha emission is seen between the nucleus and the furthest radio lobe, which is also unlike all other radio galaxies. The values of radio lobe distance ratio, and flux density ratio, as well as the fraction of core emission make of B3 J2330+3927 an extremely asymmetric source, and challenges unification models that explain the differences between quasars and radio galaxies as due to orientation effects.

description: We provide sufficient conditions for boundary Hardy inequality to hold in bounded Lipschitz domains, complement of a point (the so-called point Hardy inequality), domain above the graph of a Lipschitz function, the complement of a bounded Lipschitz domain in fractional Orlicz-Sobolev setting. As a consequence, we get sufficient conditions for regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequality in bounded Lipschitz domains. Necessary conditions for fractional Orlicz Hardy and regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequalities are also given for bounded Lipschitz domains. Various sufficient conditions on open sets are provided for fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequality and regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequality to hold.

The first paper arXiv:2007.00646 in this series focused on n=8 algebraic letters. In this paper we show that it is possible to obtain all rational symbol letters (in fact all cluster variables) by solving matrix equations of the form C Z = 0 if one allows C to be an arbitrary cluster parameterization of the top cell of Gr_+(n-4,n).

description: The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in paramagnetic materials has been widely used for attaining very low temperatures by applying a magnetic field isothermally and removing it adiabatically. The effect can be exploited also for room temperature refrigeration by using recently discovered giant MCE materials. In this letter, we report on an inverse situation in Ni-Mn-Sn alloys, whereby applying a magnetic field adiabatically, rather than removing it, causes the sample to cool. This has been known to occur in some intermetallic compounds, for which a moderate entropy increase can be induced when a field is applied, thus giving rise to an inverse magnetocaloric effect. However, the entropy change found for some ferromagnetic Ni-Mn-Sn alloys is just as large as that reported for giant MCE materials, but with opposite sign. The giant inverse MCE has its origin in a martensitic phase transformation that modifies the magnetic exchange interactions due to the change in the lattice parameters.

description: Agriculture contains a vast array of economic activities to produce and provide food, fiber and related products and services. These economic activities can be divided into three sectors: the farm sector, agribusiness and the public sector. Using data from the 1982 and 1997 Censuses of Agriculture, this bulletin documents changes in the farm sector of Delaware agriculture over the 1982 - 1997 time period. It is an update to the Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin #503, The Farm Sector of Delaware Agriculture: Trends from 1982 - 1992 (Tytus, Hastings and Cole, 1995). Overall, the analysis finds that the farm sector of Delaware agriculture continues to change. Reasons for the change remain the same as they have been for several decades: continued population growth, emerging technologies, evolving and waning demand for agricultural products, fluctuating domestic and international markets, changing consumer preferences, economic conditions both locally and nationally, increasing environmental concerns and growing competition for critical resources, such as land and water. These factors have affected the farm sector of Delaware throughout the last century and will continue to influence in into the 21st century.

description: Mobile Terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detecting And Ranging) (MTL) is a new technology adapted to increasing need of 3D geo-referenced data. The system requires an integration of laser scanners with other sensors of navigation such as GPS and INS and inertial measurement unit. This fusion allows direct georeferencing of point cloud data. As well as the practical accuracy, the theoretical accuracy of raw data also deals with the investors in the mobile mapping systems. This study evaluates the theoretical accuracy of point clouds produced by MTL system through the error propagation theory. The accuracy estimation implies a description of sensors integration, synchronization and calibration. In addition, this paper presents models of reference transformation. The results of this study show that the MTL data accuracy depends on several parameters. Among these parameters, the range is the most critical one.

description: We analyze a minimal bottom-up seesaw scenario where we require the theory to satisfy three phenomenological conditions: (i)it is supersymmetric; (ii) it has a local B-L symmetry as part of the SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R x U(1)_{B-L} gauge theory to implement the seesaw mechanism and (iii) B-L symmetry breaking is such that it leaves R-parity unbroken giving a naturally stable dark matter. We show that in such a theory, one can predict the seesaw scale for neutrino masses to be M_R ~ \sqrt{M_{SUSY} M_{Pl}} ~ 10^{11} GeV. We show that the ground state with this property is a stable minimum and is lower than possible electric charge violating minimum in this theory. Such models in their generic version are known to predict the existence of a light doubly charged Higgs boson and Higgsino which can be searched for in collider experiments. We give expressions for their masses in this minimal version. We then indicate how one can get different expectation values for the MSSM Higgs doublets in the theory required to have realistic quark masses.

description: This report presents the results of a survey of Delaware agricultural landowners about their characteristics, opinions, and behavior regarding participation in the Delaware Agricultural Lands Preservation Program, specifically the PACE and Ag Dist programs. The results demonstrate that participants tend to: - Own larger farms - Be more likely to raise corn, soybeans, and vegetables - Have more decision makers - Be much more likely to be full-time operators - Be more likely to value working outdoors - Be more likely to value ownership to pass land onto children. The results also show that word of mouth is the most common way Delaware landowners learn about the DALP program. Owners' views about the DALP program were investigated. Key findings include: - Participants and nonparticipants identified preserving land for family as the most attractive aspect of the Ag Dist program - Both groups valued the Ag Dist program for its protection against agricultural nuisance suits and taxes - A majority of PACE participants found that program attractive to relieve pressure from debt, to provide retirement security, and to reinvest in their operations - A minority of Ag Dist participants and nonparticipants were interested in PACE to relieve pressure from debt. Participants had positive experiences with the DALP process. - Large majorities were satisfied with the DALP staff - Large majorities of PACE participants were satisfied with the DALP procedures and outcomes - A large majority of Ag Dist participants were satisfied with DALP procedures - A majority of Ag Dist participants were satisfied with the outcome - A large majority of participants would participate in Ag Dist if they had the chance to do it again - Most PACE participants are using PACE money for investments - Some PACE participants are using PACE money to pay debts.
A Block Coordinate Descent Method for Sensor Network Localization

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: The problem of sensor network localization (SNL) can be formulated as a semidefinite programming problem with a rank constraint. We propose a new method for solving such SNL problems. We factorize a semidefinite matrix with the rank constraint into a product of two matrices via the Burer--Monteiro factorization. Then, we add the difference of the two matrices, with a penalty parameter, to the objective function, thereby reformulating SNL as an unconstrained multiconvex optimization problem, to which we apply the block coordinate descent method. In this paper, we also provide theoretical analyses of the proposed method and show that each subproblem that is solved sequentially by the block coordinate descent method can also be solved analytically, with the sequence generated by our proposed algorithm converging to a stationary point of the objective function. We also give a range of the penalty parameter for which the two matrices used in the factorization agree at any accumulation point. Numerical experiments confirm that the proposed method does inherit the rank constraint and that it estimates sensor positions faster than other methods without sacrificing the estimation accuracy, especially when the measured distances contain errors.

After showing the connection of this new concept with several other ones, such as signed magic arrays, graph decompositions and relative difference families, we determine some necessary conditions and we present existence results for infinite classes of these arrays. In the last part of the paper we also show that these arrays give rise to biembeddings of multigraphs into orientable surfaces and we provide infinite families of such biembeddings. To conclude, we present a result concerning pairs of $λ$-fold relative Heffter arrays and covering surfaces.

description: Dentognathic remains of European Middle Pleistocene Vulpini are scarce and fragmentary. They have classically been attributed to several species, but many taxonomic and phylogenetic uncertainties remain. Here we describe a fox well-preserved maxilla with associated mandible from the Middle Pleistocene layers of the Vallparadís Section (EVT3; ca. 0.6 Ma; Vallès-Penedès Basin, NE Iberian Peninsula) and compare them with the known fossil record of Vulpes from roughly contemporary European localities. The studied Vulpes remains described here differ from Early Pleistocene Vulpes alopecoides (including its junior synonyms V. praeglacialis and V. praecorsac) in several dentognathic features (less individualized P4 protocone; M2 paracone larger than the metacone; more robust mandibular corpus, and stouter m1 with reduced metaconid) and most closely resemble extant Vulpes vulpes. The large size of the described remains also contrasts with the small dimensions of V. alopecoides and fits better within the variability of the extant red fox. We conclude that the studied specimens, like other available Middle Pleistocene fox remains from Europe, are attributable to the extant species V. vulpes. Therefore, the EVT3 remains represent the first well-dated appearance datum of the species in Europe.

description: This study used a telephone survey of coordinators of local Business Retention and Expansion Programs (BR&E). The focus of the of the study was to survey BR&E coordinators who conducted programs in the last five years to better understand the factors that lead the community and the coordinator to undertake a BR&E program. We used state program leaders to identify coordinators in six participating states: Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and West Virginia. The states represented programs that had a similar approach to BR&E in terms of a community approach which used volunteers by design. A total of 94 Coordinators were identified, and 80 responded to the survey during the summer and fall of 1998 (85% response rate). Of those that did not respond, six were no longer working in the community and could not be contacted. Initial contact was made by phone to explain the project and to schedule a phone interview. Following the initial phone contact, a copy of the survey and an explanation of the project was mailed to the respondent. Most of the interviews were conducted over the phone, but in some cases coordinators sent the surveys in the mail. For the most part coordinators reported few concerns or conflicts prior to beginning a BR&E program. However, local coordinators reported that many businesses were not aware of programs available to them and that this was a motivating force in initiating the program. Furthermore, many indicated that citizens were not knowledgeable about economic development and the problems faced by local businesses. In general the coordinators recognized and supported many of the benefits that we generally use to promote BR&E programs. When asked what attracted them to a BR&E program they answered (in order of importance) -- the program emphasized a response to local business needs; it focused on existing local businesses; it allowed for local decision-making; and there was a written report and written priority projects. Coordinators were also asked to rate factors about the program that influenced their personal participation. Their answers reflected a mix of community and personal interests. The factors with the highest rankings were: it would help firms remain and grow; it would help them develop better contacts with businesses; it would help them learn about businesses; it would help their organization; and the program was needed in the community.

The device, we here report on is in the Kondo regime exhibiting a four-fold shell structure, where a clear signature of the superconducting electrodes is observed below the critical temperature. Multiple Andreev reflections are revealed by sub-gap structure and a narrow peak in the differential conductance around zero bias is seen depending on the shell filling. We interpret the peak as a proximity induced supercurrent and examine its interplay with Kondo resonances.

Considering mathematically permitted junction conditions seriously, we formulate such systems by scattering matrices. We show that the symmetric ring systems, which consist of two nodes with the same parameters under the reflection symmetry, have remarkable aspects that there exist localized states inevitably, and resonant perfect transmission occurs when the wavenumber of an incoming wave coincides with that of the localized states, for any parameters of the nodes except for the extremal cases in which the absolute values of components of scattering matrices take $1$. We also investigate the magnetic disturbance to the symmetric ring systems.

description: With the fast world population growing, the efficient use of land properties became of great necessity. In this context, the traditional two-dimensional (2D) cadastral management mode cannot satisfy the need of current 3D land use and 3D urban planning (Guo et al. 2014). So, developing a 3D cadastral system is a very promising solution for land administration. However, the development of such a solution can be faced to some challenged issues related to economic, legal, technical and organizational aspects. In this paper, we present some basics about the 3D cadastre in Land governance. Then, we discuss some issues about migrating to a 3D cadastre solution. Finally, we propose some ideas and reflections about the adoption of a 3D Moroccan cadastral system.
Essential spectrum in vibrations of thin shells in membrane approximation. Propagation of singularities

description: The spectral problem of thin elastic shells in membrane approximation does not satisfy the classical properties of compactness and so there exists an essential spectrum. In the first part, we propose to determinate this spectrum and the weakness directions in the shell. We particularly study the case of homogeneous and isotropic shells with some examples. In the second part, we consider an elementary model problem to study the propagation of singularities and their reflections at the boundary of the domain. In the last, we study the problem of propagation for an isotropic cylindrical shell and we show that the equation of propagation does not depend on the Poisson coefficient.

description: Can Delaware's agriculture coexist (and prosper) in the face of competing land uses over the next twenty years? We believe that maintaining Delaware's agriculture as a viable land-use alternative depends on the success in addressing three critical challenges. First, will residential, commercial, and industrial land uses be forced to bear the full costs that their land-use decisions visit on Delaware agriculture? Alternatively, will agriculture be fully compensated for its contribution to Delaware's economy and quality of life? An associated, second challenge, is whether state, county, and local governments will institute incentive-based policies to achieve socially desirable land-use outcomes? It is particularly important that there exist policies to protect and to promote diverse land uses within all three counties. Finally, will spatial land-use patterns evolve, which ensure that agriculture maintains the critical masses necessary for the industry's economic viability and which insulate producers from the complaints and threats of nonagricultural neighbors? This paper expands on these three challenges and then reviews data on trends in agricultural land use to draw conclusions.

description: The key result of the present work is the theoretical prediction and observation of the formation of a new type of transport barrier in fusion plasmas, called F-ATB (fast ion-induced anomalous transport barrier). As demonstrated through state-of-the-art global electrostatic and electromagnetic simulations, the F-ATB is characterized by a full suppression of the turbulent transport - caused by strongly sheared, axisymmetric $E \times B$ flows - and an increase of the neoclassical counterpart, albeit keeping the overall fluxes at significantly reduced levels. The trigger mechanism is shown to be a mainly electrostatic resonant interaction between supra-thermal particles, generated via ion-cyclotron-resonance heating, and plasma micro-turbulence. These findings are obtained by realistic simulations of the ASDEX Upgrade discharge $\#36637$ - properly designed to maximized the beneficial role of the wave-particle resonance interaction - which exhibits the expected properties of improved confinement produced by energetic particles.

description: We study the chiral behavior of the nucleon and $Δ$-isobar masses within a manifestly covariant chiral effective-field theory, consistent with the analyticity principle. We compute the $πN$ and $πΔ$ one-loop contributions to the mass and field-renormalization constant, and find that they can be described in terms of universal relativistic loop functions, multiplied by appropriate spin, isospin and coupling constants. We show that these relativistic one-loop corrections, when properly renormalized, obey the chiral power-counting and vanish in the chiral limit. The results including only the $πN$-loop corrections compare favorably with the lattice QCD data for the pion-mass dependence of the nucleon and $Δ$ masses, while inclusion of the $πΔ$ loops tends to spoil this agreement.

IS THE EXPORT-LEAD GROWTH HYPOTHESIS VALID FOR CANADA?

description: Empirical evidence linking exports to economic growth has been mixed and inconclusive. This study re-examine the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis for Canada by testing for Granger causality from exports to national output growth using vector error correction models (VECM) and the augmented vector autoregressive (VAR) methodology developed in Toda and Yamamoto (1995). Application of recent developments in time series modeling and the inclusion of relevant variables omitted in previous studies help clarify the contradictory results from prior studies on the Canadian economy. The empirical results suggest that a long-run steady state exists among the model's six variables and that Granger causal flow is unidirectional from real exports to real GDP.

description: The objective of this research was to predict the nitrogen-loading rate to Delaware lakes and streams using regression analysis and neural networks. Both models relate nitrogen-loading rate to cropland, soil type and presence of broiler production. Dummy variables were used to represent soil type and the presence of broiler production at a watershed. Data collected by Ritter & Harris (1984) was used in this research. To build the regression model Statistical Analysis System (SAS) was used. NeuroShell Easy Predictor, neural network software was used to develop the neural network model. Model adequacy was established by statistical techniques. A comparison of the regression and neural network models showed that both perform equally well. Cropland was the only significant variable that had any influence on the nitrogen-loading rate according to both the models.
Characterization of promoter of a novel GTPase in T cell, TGTP
Creators: name: Chang, Shiu Yuan (Martin)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Our laboratory have previously described the cloning of a cDNA encoding a 50 kDa GTPase designated TGTP. TGTP s expression was induced rapidly after TCR crosslinking. However, subsequent studies showed that the induction was nevertheless mediated by IFN-y and that TGTP is inducible by IFN-y in cell lines of diverse lineages. More interestingly, studies in our laboratory showed that TGTP-transfected L cells displayed resistance to infection by the negative strand RNA virus, vesicular stomatitis virus. The main objective of my thesis project was to isolate, characterize and study the promoter of Tgtp, with the hope that this information may further elucidate the function of TGTP. The methologies employed in this study included: (1) identifying the genomic clones that contain the 5 end of the cDNA encoding TGTP; (2) mapping restriction sites and localizing the 5 end of cDNA in a genomic clone; (3) determining the orientation of the genomic DNA and, hence, the location of the promoter region; (4) assessing the promoter activity of a genomic DNA fragment that may carry the promoter region; (5) determining the sequence of the promoter region; and (6) analyzing the sequence of the promoter region to determine and locate different DNA motifs such as the GAS motif that is required for IFN-y induction. In this study I showed that the promoter of Tgtp contains a TATA box, a GAS sequence (TTCCAGGAA), a Myb binding site, two CF-2 binding sites, three c-Myc/Max binding sites and a SP-1 binding site. In vitro functional assay of the Tgtp promoter with a luciferase reporter gene showed that the Tgtp promoter is optimally activated by low concentrations (5.5 U/ml) of IFN-y and, to a lesser extent, by high concentrations (5,500 U/ml) of IFN-a. A unique sequence of eleven repeats of TCTCCCC was also found in the Tgtp promoter. However, the potential role of these repeats in transcriptional regulation of TGTP remains to be determined. These repeats of high GC content (71%) also presented a special challenge to my sequencing efforts. The sequencing difficulty was finally resolved by using PCR templates synthesized in presence of 75% or 100% 7- deaza dGTP.

Masterarbeit

description: Diese Arbeit setzt sich mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen und evidenzbasierten Therapiemöglichkeiten auseinander. Ihr Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Fördermöglichkeiten mit angewandter Verhaltensanalyse (Applied Behavior Analysis) sowie auf den ABA-Gelingensbedingungen im schulischen Kontext. Die Arbeit beginnt mit einem Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der integrativen Schulentwicklung, da die Regelschulen durch diese vermehrt mit Kindern mit Autismus und deren Fördermöglichkeiten konfrontiert werden. Immer wieder auftauchende Fragen in Lehrerzimmern zu Autismus im Allgemeinen und ABA im Speziellen sollen anschliessend beantwortet werden. Anhand einer Einzelfallstudie werden dann die Ergebnisse einer ABA-Intervention im schulischen Kontext aufgezeigt. In der abschliessenden Diskussion werden die Möglichkeiten von ABA im schulischen Kontext, die Wirksamkeit und die Gelingensfaktoren beleuchtet. In der Arbeit wird auch zur Kritik an den ABA-Prinzipien Stellung bezogen.
