description: Like many other vegetables, potatoes are marketed by type (russet, round white, red), rather than by variety (Burbak, Katahdin, Pontiac). Although varieties of the same type have similar outward appearances, they are also known to have different internal and cooking characteristics. There has been considerable controversy over the need for variety identification promotion in the potato industry. A consumer response study that distinguished between user satisfaction with different potato varieties was viewed as a step toward resolving this issue.

description: Double-differential cross sections for light-ion (p, d, t, He-3 and alpha) production in oxygen, induced by 96 MeV neutrons are reported. Energy spectra are measured at eight laboratory angles from 20 degrees to 160 degrees in steps of 20 degrees. Procedures for data taking and data reduction are presented. Deduced energy-differential and production cross sections are reported. Experimental cross sections are compared to theoretical reaction model calculations and experimental data at lower neutron energies in the literature. The measured proton data agree reasonably well with the results of the model calculations, whereas the agreement for the other particles is less convincing. The measured production cross sections for protons, deuterons, tritons and alpha particles support the trends suggested by data at lower energies.

description: Nonparametric statistical methods (the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's multiple comparison procedure) were used to analyze consumer preferences for fresh meat products (chicken, beef steak, beef roast, fish, ground beef, pork, turkey, and lamb) in a retail food chain in Houston. On a pairwise basis, significant differences in ratings were evident for the majority of the fresh meat products in terms of frequency of purchase as well as taste and quality. In particular, chicken was not only the most frequently purchased fresh meat product but also compared favorably to all meat items in terms of taste and quality.
Forty shades of grey : women in the Irish electronics industry
Creators: name: Cahill, Anna Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research study examines the experiences of women working in electronics assembly in Cork, Ireland in the context of globalization and the growing internationalization and feminization of the industrial work force. Utilizing a case study format, the study presents descriptive information on the health concerns and occupational health and safety experiences of 12 women working at two electronics' plants. Findings were congruent with statistics in the general literature. The majority of participants were young women who had worked in the industry from 4 to 17 years. Most of the employment shifts were horizontal in nature and the majority of participants had experienced little upward mobility. The health concerns raised are salient: 76% reported experiencing serious, recurring headaches; 75% reported serious skin concerns - rashes, bruising, broken skin; 67% reported respiratory difficulties and 67% difficulties with vision. The most significant findings were in the area of occupational health and safety. None of the study participants had ever received any form of training on chemicals' handling or awareness, including the health and safety co-ordinator at one plant. Contrary to the legislation, various workplace measures to protect workers' health are neither being implemented nor enforced. Participants generally reported feeling unsupported by both the health and safety body and the union structure. General recommendations and recommendations for further research in a number of areas are presented.

description: I propose a new conceptual framework to disentangle the impacts of weather and climate on economic activity and growth: A stochastic frontier model with climate in the production frontier and weather shocks as a source of inefficiency. I test it on a sample of 160 countries over the period 1950-2014. Temperature and rainfall determine production possibilities in both rich and poor countries; positively in cold countries and negatively in hot ones. Weather anomalies reduce inefficiency in rich countries but increase inefficiency in poor and hot countries; and more so in countries with low weather variability. The climate effect is larger that the weather effect.

description: The aim of this work is experimental discovery and research of a rare neutron mode, the radiative beta-decay, where a new particle, the radiative gamma-quantum, is formed along with the expected decay products beta-electron, recoil proton and antineutrino. The discovery of this rare neutron decay mode was conducted through identification of triple coincidences events: simultaneous registration of beta electron, proton and radiative gamma-quantum. The ordinary neutron decay was registered by double coincidences of beta electron and recoil proton. The ratio of triple to double coincidences is connected with relative intensity of radiative neutron decay (branching ratio - B.R.) B.R. = (3.2+1.6)10-3 (with 90 % C.L. and in the gamma energy region greater than 35 keV), which we are the first in the world to measure during the second and third cycles on FRMII (TUM, Germany) in Summer 2005. This value of B.R. is consistent with standard electroweak theory.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Mississippi • 1 sagitta; Catahoula Formation; MMNS VP-12073.
Description
The sagitta is oval to somewhat elliptic in outline (sensu Smale et al. 1995) and the margins are rather smooth. The height/length ratio is 0.55. The inner face varies from nearly flat to very slightly convex. The sulcus is undivided, slants very slightly in the posteroventral direction, and extends across approximately 75% of the inner face. The sulcus tapers at the anterior and the posterior, and it appears to reach the anterior margin, possibly through a shallow ostial channel. There is a conspicuous depressed area, somewhat rectangular in shape, above the sulcus. The outer face is only slightly more convex than the inner face.
Remarks
The otolith described above exhibits the typical congrid feature of having an undivided sulcus (Fig. 24E). MMNS VP-12073 differs significantly from specimens of Protanago nonsector (see above) by having much less convex dorsal and ventral margins, with a H/L ratio of 0.55 vs 0.85 for the latter taxon (compare to Fig. 24A, C). Specimen MMNS VP-12073 is similar to Protoanguilla?, a species reported as Pseudophichthys glaber from middle Eocene to lower Oligocene deposits in Louisiana and Mississippi (Nolf & Stringer 2003; Nolf 2013; Stringer et al. 2020c). Unfortunately, the anterior onequarter of the otolith is lacking and definitive identification to Protoanguilla? is not possible without additional specimens. Schwarzhans et al. (2024) indicated that Pseudophichthys glaber differed from the extant Pseudophichthys and erected the otolith-based genus Protoanguilla? for the taxon.

description: The increased share of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power poses constraints on the stability of the grid and the security of supply due to the imbalance between electricity production and demand.  Chemical storage or Power-to-X technologies can provide the flexibility that is needed to overcome this issue. To quantify the needs of such storage system, energy system optimization models (ESOMs) are used, guiding policy makers in nationwide energy planning. Key input parameters for such models are the capacity and efficiency values of the conversion devices. Gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells and Rankine engines are often mentioned here as cogeneration technologies. Their performance parameters will however need to be revised when switching from fossil to renewable fuels. This study therefore investigates the possibility of using size-based scaling laws to predict the efficiency and power values of one type of conversion technology: the reciprocating engine. The most straightforward scaling laws are the ones based on the fundamental engine performance parameters, and are constructed by fitting an arithmetic function to a large set of representative engine data. Since experimental data on large bore spark ignited engines fueled with renewable fuels is limited, a zero-dimensional two-zone model is being developed in order to predict performance data of a large range of engines running on renewable fuels. The goal of this work is to address and quantify the influence of the size factor on the different sub-models. Especially the influence of the bore size on the knock model will be important, as knock is the main constraint for reaching high loads and efficiencies in heavy-duty spark-ignited engines.
GCRT J1745-3009: A precessing radio pulsar?

description: A unique transient bursting radio source, GCRT J1745-3009, has been discovered (Hyman et al. 2005a) near the direction of the Galactic center. It is still an open question to explain this phenomenon, although some efforts to understand its nature have been made. This paper shows that most of the observed features can be reproduced by our proposed precessing pulsar model. It is found that the precession angle of the pulsar should be larger ($\ga 15^{\rm o}$) than that of previously known precessing pulsars, which have a precession angle $\la 10^{\rm o}$, if the beam width of the pulsar is larger than 10 degree. The pulsar could be a nulling (or even extremely) radio pulsars to account for the transient nature of the source. This model can be confirmed if a pulsar is detected at the position of the source. The pulsar could hardly be a normal neutron star (but probably a solid quark star) if the spin period of the pulsar is detected to be $\ga 10$ ms in the future.

description: In the extra dimensional scenarios with gauge fields in the bulk, the Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge bosons can induce Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type attractive four-fermion interactions, which can break electroweak symmetry dynamically with accompanying composite Higgs fields. We consider a possibility that electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is triggered by both a fundamental Higgs and a composite Higgs arising in a dynamical symmetry breaking mechanism induced by a new strong dynamics. The resulting Higgs sector is a partially composite two-Higgs doublet model with specific boundary conditions on the coupling and mass parameters originating at a compositeness scale $Λ$. The phenomenology of this model is discussed including the collider phenomenology at LHC and ILC.

description: In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) diets are largely based on cereal or root staple crops. Together with socio-cultural change, economic and demographic growth could boost the demand for meat, with significant environmental repercussions. We model meat consumption pathways to 2050 for SSA based on several scenarios calibrated on historical demand drivers. To assess the consequent environmental impact, we adopt an environmentally-extended input-output (EEIO) framework and apply it on the EXIOBASE 3.3 hybrid tables. We find that, depending on the interplay of resources efficiency and demand growth, by 2050 global greenhouse gases emissions could grow by 1.4 [0.9-1.9] Gt CO2e/yr (~175% of current regional agriculture-related emissions), cropping and grazing-related land may cover additional 15 [12.5-21] · 106 km2 (one quarter of today’s global agricultural land), blue water consumption could rise by 36 [29-47] Gm3 /yr (nearly doubling the current regional agricultural consumption), the eutrophication potential could grow by 7.6 [4.9-9.5] t PO4e/yr and additional 0.9 [0.5-1.4] EJ/yr of fossil fuels and 49 [32-73] TWh/yr of electricity may be consumed. These results suggest that – in the absence of drastic resource efficiency or technological improvements – meat demand in SSA is bound to become a major sustainability challenge. We show that a partial substitution of the protein intake with plant-based alternatives carries significant potential for mitigating these impacts. The policies affecting farming practices and dietary choices will thus have a significant impact on regional and global environmental flows.

Farmers’ willingness to plant trees on marginal agricultural land in Canada’s grain belt
Creators: name: Suchánek, Pavel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Climate change has been one of the major global environmental concerns to date. Its seriousness supported by many scientists around the world prompted the vast majority of countries to sign the Kyoto Agreement on climate change. In this document Canada committed to a six percent reduction below 1990 level of carbon dioxide emissions by the 2008-2012 commitment period. Canada has expressed its intention to use its extensive land base as a carbon sink by planting trees. However, no data are available on precisely how much of the land can be converted to trees and at what cost. This thesis uses a survey of farmers in the grain-belt region of Canada to investigate the costs of planting trees on marginal agricultural land and estimate the amount of land available for tree planting. The survey proposes a random bid to each farmer for accepting a particular tree-planting contract. Farmers' answers are analyzed using a bivariate probit model that provides an estimate of the mean willingness to accept for each farmer. Regressing the number of acres made available at this bid on the difference between the bid and the mean willingness to accept results in a supply type of schedule that provides a general estimate of the potential for tree planting in Canada for climate change mitigation purposes. The thesis concludes that Canada can rely on offsetting its emissions of carbon dioxide by means of biological mitigation only to a limited extent due to the high cost of compensation to landowners for their land.

description: Isoginkgetin (ISO), a natural biflavonoid, exhibited cytotoxic activity against several types of cancer cells. However, its effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and mechanism remain unclear. Here, we revealed that ISO effectively inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro. LC3-II expression and autophagosomes were increased under ISO treatment. In addition, ISO-induced cell death was attenuated by treatment with chloroquine or knockdown of autophagy-related genes (ATG5 or ULK1). ISO significantly suppressed SLC2A1/GLUT1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1) expression and glucose uptake, leading to activation of the AMPK-ULK1 axis in HepG2 cells. Overexpression of SLC2A1/GLUT1 abrogated ISO-induced autophagy. Combining molecular docking with thermal shift analysis, we confirmed that ISO directly bound to the N terminus of CDK6 (cyclin dependent kinase 6) and promoted its degradation. Overexpression of CDK6 abrogated ISO-induced inhibition of SLC2A1/GLUT1 transcription and induction of autophagy. Furthermore, ISO treatment significantly decreased the H3K27ac, H4K8ac and H3K4me1 levels on the SLC2A1/GLUT1 enhancer in HepG2 cells. Finally, ISO suppressed the hepatocarcinogenesis in the HepG2 xenograft mice and the diethylnitrosamine+carbon tetrachloride (DEN+CCl4)-induced primary HCC mice and we confirmed SLC2A1/GLUT1 and CDK6 as promising oncogenes in HCC by analysis of TCGA data and human HCC tissues. Our results provide a new molecular mechanism by which ISO treatment or CDK6 deletion promotes autophagy; that is, ISO targeting the N terminus of CDK6 for degradation inhibits the expression of SLC2A1/GLUT1 by decreasing the enhancer activity of SLC2A1/GLUT1, resulting in decreased glucose levels and inducing the AMPK-ULK1 pathway.

description: We present a new, general constraint which, in principle, determines the superconformal $U(1)_R$ symmetry of 4d $\N =1$ SCFTs, and also 3d $\N =2$ SCFTs. Among all possibilities, the superconformal $U(1)_R$ is that which minimizes the coefficient, $τ_{RR}$, of its two-point function. Equivalently, the superconformal $U(1)_R$ is the unique one with vanishing two-point function with every non-R flavor symmetry. For 4d $\N =1$ SCFTs, $τ_{RR}$ minimization gives an alternative to a-maximization. $τ_{RR}$ minimization also applies in 3d, where no condition for determining the superconformal $U(1)_R$ had been previously known. Unfortunately, this constraint seems impractical to implement for interacting field theories. But it can be readily implemented in the AdS geometry for SCFTs with AdS duals.

description: Relativistic jets powered by stellar mass black holes in X-ray binaries appear to come in two types: steady outflows associated with hard X-ray states and large scale discrete ejections associated with transient outbursts. We show that the broadband radio spectrum of a `quiescent' stellar mass black hole closely resembles that of canonical hard state sources emitting at four orders of magnitude higher X-ray levels, suggesting that a relativistic outflow is being formed down to at least a few 10^(-6) times the Eddington X-ray luminosity. We further report on the discovery of a low surface brightness radio nebula around the stellar black hole in Cyg X-1, and discuss how it can be used as an effective calorimeter for the jet kinetic power.

And even though distances are central in deriving such a linear quantity, Gaia has so far failed to resolve the debate.

These are the deepest infrared and X-ray fields to date and cover a total area of ~0.1 square degrees. AGN are selected on the basis of their hard (2-8 keV) X-ray emission. The median AGN infrared luminosity is at least 10 times larger than the median for normal galaxies with the same redshift distribution, suggesting that the infrared emission is dominated by the central nucleus.

Radiation reaction on charged particles in three-dimensional motion in classical and quantum electrodynamics

description: We extend our previous work (see arXiv:quant-ph/0501026), which compared the predictions of quantum electrodynamics concerning radiation reaction with those of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac theory for a charged particle in linear motion. Specifically, we calculate the predictions for the change in position of a charged scalar particle, moving in three-dimensional space, due to the effect of radiation reaction in the one-photon-emission process in quantum electrodynamics. The scalar particle is assumed to be accelerated for a finite period of time by a three-dimensional electromagnetic potential dependent only on one of the spacetime coordinates. We perform this calculation in the $\hbar\to 0$ limit and show that the change in position agrees with that obtained in classical electrodynamics with the Lorentz-Dirac force treated as a perturbation. We also show for a time-dependent but space-independent electromagnetic potential that the forward-scattering amplitude at order $e^2$ does not contribute to the position change in the $\hbar \to 0$ limit after the mass renormalization is taken into account.

description: This paper provides new evidence on the convergence process of energy, water and food per capita consumption levels for 108 countries from 1971 to 2018, using a common data set, with VAR and panel data approach. We establish a new notion of multivariate sigma and beta-convergence. The results reveal that there is evidence of sigma- absolute beta- and conditional beta-convergence process for the countries. Moreover, the multivariate approach reveals that there are spillover effects with complex positive impact of each variable on the others in the analyzed countries. The speed of convergence is simulated to assess when the desired levels according to the prescription of the SDG of per water, energy and food capita consumption is reached by each country. Results have important policy implications for interventions on macro variables. Investment has a positive accelerating effect on water convergence. In addition, investment, openness to foreign trade and inflow of foreign direct investment have a positive accelerating effect on food convergence as well as on energy convergence.

description: The beating pattern of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in 2D electron system in the presence of a Rashba zero-field spin splitting is reproduced. It is shown, taking into account the Zeeman splitting, that the explicit formulae for the node position well describes the experimental data. The spin-orbit interaction strength obtained is found to be magnetic field independent in an agreement with the basic assumptions of the Rashba model.

title: Homeobox genes in the development and regeneration of the cephalochordate Branchiostoma lanceolatum and the polychaete annelid Spirobranchus lamarcki
Creators: name: Barton-Owen, Tom

description: The development of complex animal morphology requires the extremely sophisticated spatiotemporal coordination of cell behaviour and communication. Homeobox genes encode transcription factors that are deployed in developmental processes to control the expression of other genes in particular locations and contexts. Many homeobox genes are highly conserved and act in similar roles between distantly-related animals that derive from the roles of their ancestral orthologues. The way that these genes have diﬀerentially evolved between taxa, and the eﬀect that these changes have on the development and morphology of animals, is critical to our understanding of metazoan evolution. One particular developmental context, the regeneration of missing tissue, oﬀers a unique perspective on evolutionary developmental biology because of its relationship to ontogenic development and its surprising diversity of retention and process between animal taxa. I examined the homeobox gene content of transcriptomes taken from the mature and regenerating tissue of the post-anal tail of Branchiostoma lanceolatum, a well-studied cephalochordate with a highly conserved genome, and the evolutionarily novel operculum of Spirobranchus lamarcki, a sedentarian annelid. In S. lamarcki regeneration, a diverse variety of homeobox genes is expressed, and the regenerative expression response is substantial. The discovery of several diﬃcult-to-classify homeobox genes lead to the substantial expansion and improvement of the classiﬁcation of a variety of homeobox genes undergoing unusual rapid and expansive evolution in the Spiralia, including dozens of TALE and PRD class genes, a new orthology group, and a strange S. lamarcki Hox gene. In B. lanceolatum, a similar diversity of expressed genes is observed but a milder regenerative response. One transcriptomic sequence in particular, identiﬁed as Pax3/7, led to the discovery that this well-studied gene has a previously unnoticed duplication in cephalochordates. This discovery has implications for ongoing study of vertebrate and cephalochordate neural plate border evolution.

USE OF ASYMMETRIC-CYCLE AUTOREGRESSIVE MODELS TO IMPROVE FORECASTING OF AGRICULTURAL TIME SERIES VARIABLES

Year: 2006
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: Threshold autoregressive (TAR) models can accommodate the asymmetric cycling behavior observed in some time series data. This study develops a procedure to estimate TAR models when the conditional mean of the dependent variable is function of one or more exogenous factors while allowing for heteroskedasticity, i.e. for different levels of variation in upward versus downward cycles. The formulas to obtain predictions from TAR models are derived. Monte Carlo simulation analyses suggest that TAR models can significantly improve forecasting precision. Substantial gains in forecasting precision, in comparison with AR models, are in fact found when applying the proposed procedure to the modeling of U.S. quarterly soybeans future prices and Brazilian coffee spot prices. The estimated TAR models also provide useful insights on the markedly different dynamics of the upward versus the downward cycles exhibited by U.S. soybeans and Brazilian coffee prices.

Experience, memory and the construction of the past : remembering Macau 1941-1945
Creators: name: Cannon, Melania Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: During most of the Second World War, from the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 to the Japanese surrender in 1945, the Portuguese colony of Macau was the only neutral territory in the Pacific. During these years the colony served as a haven for hundreds of thousands who were fleeing Japanese expansion. A central aspect of Macau's war experience was the internal life of the colony. However, little or no published or archival material is available on this subject. Accordingly, the only feasible way to study this aspect of the territory's history is to draw on the testimony of those who in fact did experience wartime conditions in Macau. For the interview process, subjects were selected who belong to a distinct ethno-cultural group that has emerged from Macau's Portuguese and Chinese heritages - the Macanese. Besides the Macanese community resident in Macau, there are also several diasporic communities around the world. Many members of these communities spent the duration of the war in Macau as refugees, and the interview process clearly showed that members of the diasporic and resident Macanese communities had qualitatively different memories of the Second World War. Furthermore, the recollections of the Portuguese Jesuit priest Father Manuel Teixeira have played a prominent if idiosyncratic role in perceptions of Macau's Second World War experience, and so his testimony is discussed in relation to that of the Macanese. The way in which those interviewed expressed their perceptions of the past seemed to be rooted in and shaped by their experiences both before and since the war. Memory is, in other words, a construct. By analysing these narrated memories in terms of the existing theoretical literature on oral history and collective memory, this thesis strives to shed light on the connections between experience, memory, and the construction of the Second World War in the resident and diasporic Macanese communities.
On the use of Ajisai and Jason-1 satellites for tests of General Relativity

description: Here we analyze in detail some aspects of the proposed use of Ajisai and Jason-1, together with the LAGEOS satellites, to measure the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth. A linear combination of the nodes of such satellites is the proposed observable. The systematic error due to the mismodelling in the uncancelled even zonal harmonics would be \sim 1% according to the latest present-day CHAMP/GRACE-based Earth gravity models. In regard to the non-gravitational perturbations especially affecting Jason-1, only relatively high-frequency harmonic perturbations should occur: neither semisecular nor secular bias of non-gravitational origin should affect the proposed combination: their maximum impact is evaluated to \sim 4% over 2 years. Our estimation of the root-sum-square total error is about 4-5% over at least 3 years of data analysis required to average out the uncancelled tidal perturbations.

description: This study investigates the economic valuation of air-pollution-related health risks in China by applying the contingent valuation method. An individual interview survey is conducted to elicit resident's willingness-to-pay (WTP) for health risk reductions of asthma and mortality. Binary choice WTP question is used in the in-person interview. Using binary probit model, the estimated value of a statistical case of asthma is about US$2300, median VSL estimated is about US $24,000. The issues of private and public provision mechanisms of health risk reduction, and the scale effect of the WTP to the magnitude of risk are also discussed.

description: The purpose of the paper is to theoretically examine the welfare implications of public sector involvement in agricultural biotechnology R&D. The model assumes that firms (either a private duopoly consisting of a pair of for-profit firms or a mixed duopoly consisting of one for-profit firm and one public firm) compete in a winner-take-all patent race that is subject to R&D spillovers. Unlike previous research, spillovers are explicitly incorporated into the race, and the size of the prize that accrues to the winner, as well as the size of the ex post social surplus, is contingent on whether or not the public firm participates in the stage two product market. The welfare results concerning the implication of public sector involvement in the R&D race have several unexpected properties because of the interaction of the three sources of market failure (underinvestment due to spillovers, overinvestment due to winner-take-all racing and monopoly pricing in the product market). The main result is that the R&D subsidy or tax, while effective at improving the efficiency of the R&D outcome, is not effective at correcting the monopoly pricing market failure in the product market. The public firm, on the other hand, is able to simultaneously shift the R&D outcome toward first-best and reduce the expected distortion in the product market. The public firm invests particularly aggressively when R&D spillovers are high and the deadweight loss from monopoly pricing in the product market is high. An important problem with public firm participation in the R&D race is that cost smoothing inefficiencies arise because the public firm will either invest at a relatively high level to address the underinvestment externality, or invest at a relatively low level to address the overinvestment externality. Cost smoothing considerations always prevents attainment of first-best when product market externalities are present.
