description: Efficient traffic monitoring is playing a fundamental role in successfully tackling congestion in transportation networks. Congestion is strongly correlated with two measurable characteristics, the demand and the network density that impact the overall system behavior. At large, this system behavior is characterized through the fundamental diagram of a road segment, a region or the network. In this paper we devise an innovative way to obtain the fundamental diagram through aerial footage obtained from drone platforms. The derived methodology consists of 3 phases: vehicle detection, vehicle tracking and traffic state estimation. We elaborate on the algorithms developed for each of the 3 phases and demonstrate the applicability of the results in a real-world setting.

description: In response to low commodity prices and increasing production cost, agricultural producers have attempted to capture a portion of downstream market value of their products by organizing and investing in what are now called "New Generation Co-ops". These cooperative efforts often involve the construction of processing facilities (soybean crushing, corn processing, wheat milling) requiring an extensive capital commitment and a substantial financial risk for their members. An alternative strategy to the brick and mortar cooperatives are producer affiliations that involve the negotiation of contractual agreements with product users, providing protocols for maintaining quality standards, and collecting and sharing information. AgGuild of Illinois is an example of such a producer cooperative arrangement. The AgGuild, an alliance of some fifty central Illinois grain producers, attempts to capture a premium over the general commodity grain price by producing crops in viable quantities that meet the quality and attribute specifications desired by contracting users. To this point, the AgGuild has focused its efforts on producing non-genetically modified soybeans that have higher yields of isoflavones (a naturally occurring chemical compound in plants that are considered to provide a number of health benefits for consumers). The AgGuild attempts to capture a premium over the general commodity grain price by producing crops in viable quantities that meet the quality and attribute specifications desired by contracting users. To this point, the Guild has focused its efforts on producing non-genetically modified soybeans that have higher yields of isoflavones. This paper describes the operation of the AgGuild, assesses its current status and identifies some potential future challenges.

description: We investigate the point-parity and mirror-parity handedness of the large angle anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In particular we consider whether the observed low CMB quadrupole could more generally signal odd point-parity, i.e. suppression of even multipoles. Even though this feature is ``visually'' present in most renditions of the WMAP dataset we find that it never supports parity preference beyond the meagre 95% confidence level. This is fortunate as point parity handedness implies almost certainly a high level of galactic contamination. Mirror reflection parity, on the contrary, is related to the emergence of a preferred axis, defining the symmetry plane. We use this technique to make contact with recent claims for an anisotropic Universe, showing that the detected preferred axis is associated with positive (even) mirror parity. This feature may be an important clue in identifying the culprit for this unexpected signal.

description: We simulate several alternative scenarios to access the impact of border liberalization on household food security in rural China. We find that most Chinese farmers derive most their income from sources other than grain marketing and buy a significant amount of staple grain. Opening the border to more import of grain resulting in lower the domestic price is likely to improve the general level of food security for rural farm households in China.

Coriolis force, geometric phase, and spin-electric coupling in semiconductors

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We consider the response of an effective spin of a charge carrier to an adiabatic rotation of its crystal momentum induced by electric field. This rotation gives rise to Coriolis pseudo-force that is responsible for torque acting on the orbital momentum of a particle. Mediated by a spin-orbit coupling in the valence band this perturbation leads to a spin-electric coupling that may affect the coherent transport properties of a charge carrier and cause a spin precession in zero magnetic fields. In the static uniform electric field the derived effective spin-Hamiltonians of the carriers in the conduction and light hole bands are homologous to the Rashba Hamiltonian. These effects may be also interpreted as a manifestation of, in general, a non-Abelian gauge potential and can be described in purely geometric terms as a consequence of the corresponding holonomy. We demonstrate that in the conduction band the strength of the associated covariant gauge field is proportional to the effective electron g-tensor and is controllable by gate fields or a strain applied to the crystal.
description: The minor error in the estimate of the strength of the covariant gauge field in the conduction band of wide gap semiconductors (p.5 of the published article) was corrected
Instantaneous versus non-instantaneous approach to relativistic ionization of atomic hydrogen by electron impact

description: We present a theoretical model for atomic hydrogen ionization by electron impact in the instantaneous approximation and the more accurate non-instantaneous approach using the methods of Quantum Electrodynamics, for the binary coplanar and the coplanar asymmetric geometries. All electrons are described by plane wave functions in the coplanar binary geometry but in the asymmetric geometry the ejected electron is described by a Sommerfeld-Maue wave function. It is shown that the two models give the same results in the non relativistic limit for the binary coplanar geometry where the interactions can be treated as instantaneous. However, this is no longer true for the relativistic case where one has to take into account both the instantaneous interaction and the radiation interaction. These results are obtained in the first order of perturbation theory.

Numerical Simulations of Penetration and Overshoot in the Sun

description: We present numerical simulations of convective overshoot in a two-dimensional model of the solar equatorial plane. The simulated domain extends from 0.001 R_sun to 0.93 R_sun, spanning both convective and radiative regions. We show that convective penetration leads to a slightly extended, mildly subadiabatic temperature gradient beneath the convection zone below which there is a rapid transition to a strongly subadiabatic region. A slightly higher temperature is maintained in the overshoot region by adiabatic heating from overshooting plumes. This enhanced temperature may partially account for the sound speed discrepancy between the standard solar model and helioseismology. Simulations conducted with tracer particles suggest that a fully mixed region exists down to at least 0.687 R_sun.

Parametric vibrations of traveling plates and the mechanics of washboarding in bandsaws
Creators: name: Luo, Zhusan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents a study on the high frequency dynamic behavior of traveling plates subjected to in-plane stresses. The effects of damping, parametric and modulated excitations on the vibration characteristics of the plates are considered. The application of this work to the explanation of the mechanisms responsible for washboarding in bandsaws is presented. A high frequency mode of a traveling plate is defined using the envelope of its mode shapes. Modal analysis of a traveling plate is conducted theoretically and experimentally. The effects of the traveling speed, the in-plane stresses and the plate geometry on the natural frequencies are examined. The self-excited vibration of a smooth band subjected to lateral regenerative forces is studied and the instability regions are determined. In order to model the tooth profiles and the moving lateral cutting forces applied at the teeth of a bandsaw blade, a finite element model is built and three moving plate elements are developed. The stability of the blade is investigated based on this model. The analytical results based on the smooth band model and the finite element model are consistent with the experimental results from modal testing. The vibration responses and stability of a damped spring-mass system and a damped smooth band subjected to both parametric and modulated excitations are investigated. The maximum magnification factor corresponds to the excitation at the lowest exciting frequency due to the effect of regenerative forces. The instability regions of this system are reduced by increasing damping or decreasing regenerative forces. A kinematic model of washboarding is built based on the loci of teeth so that a washboarding pattern can be simulated and the washboarding mode can be determined by decoding the pattern. Two types of washboarding patterns are observed in the cutting tests. Type I washboarding is explained as the result caused by the modulated and forced vibration due to the displacement excitations from the guides. Type II washboarding is caused by the self-excited vibration due to the regenerative cutting forces.

description: A backward computation method has been developed to accelerate modelling of the critical state magnetization current in a staggered-array bulk high-temperature superconducting (HTS) undulator. The key concept is as follows: i) a large magnetization current is first generated on the surface of the HTS bulks after rapid field-cooling (FC) magnetization; ii) the magnetization current then relaxes inwards step-by-step obeying the critical state model; iii) after tens of backward iterations the magnetization current reaches a steady state. The simulation results show excellent agreement with the H-formulation method for both the electromagnetic and electromagnetic-mechanical coupled analyses, but with significantly faster computation speed. Solving the FEA model with 1.8 million degrees of freedom (DOFs), the backward computation method takes less than 1.4 hours, an order of magnitude or higher faster than other state-of-the-art numerical methods. Finally, the models are used to investigate the influence of the mechanical stress on the distribution of the critical state magnetization current and the undulator field along the central axis.

description: Following a suggestion given in Phys. Lett. B 571 (2003) 250, we show how a bilayer Quantum Hall system at fillings nu =m/pm+2 can exhibit a point-like topological defect in its edge state structure. Indeed our CFT theory for such a system, the Twisted Model (TM), gives rise in a natural way to such a feature in the twisted sector. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental findings (cond-mat/0503478) which evidence the presence of a topological defect in the bilayer system.

description: The culture of private negotiation leads parties to agreements below a price that anchors beginning bids and offers. Possible anchors are a list price or suggested retail price. The anchor may be endogenous, e.g., the average reported trade price from previous trading activity. An endogenous anchor may cause a downward or upward drift in negotiated prices. Using bilateral bargaining data from laboratory experimental markets, this paper demonstrates how price information reports create drifts in negotiated prices. A downward drift is robust and causes sharp declines in total market surplus. Also, relative earnings are distributed toward buyers and away from sellers.

description: The study proposes a methodology for developing a carbon sequestration baseline attributable to the current use of conservation tillage. An integral component of the methodology is the explicit acknowledgment that there is an uncertainty in the baseline because of the uncertainty associated with the use of econometrically estimated models. The results of applying the method to a major crop production area, the Upper Mississippi River Basin in the central United States, are reported for two major crops in the region, corn and soybeans. The approach to estimation of the baseline should be readily transferable to other geographic areas and conservation practices.

description: The system of one-dimensional symmetric simple random walks, in which none of walkers have met others in a given time period, is called the vicious walker model. It was introduced by Michael Fisher and applications of the model to various wetting and melting phenomena were described in his Boltzmann medal lecture. In the present report, we explain interesting connections among representation theory, probability theory, and random matrix theory using this simple diffusion particle system. Each vicious walk of $N$ walkers is represented by an $N$-tuple of nonintersecting lattice paths on the spatio-temporal plane. There is established a simple bijection between nonintersecting lattice paths and semistandard Young tableaux. Based on this bijection and some knowledge of symmetric polynomials called the Schur functions, we can give a determinantal expression to the partition function of vicious walks, which is regarded as a special case of the Karlin-McGregor formula in the probability theory (or the Lindström-Gessel-Viennot formula in the enumerative combinatorics). Due to a basic property of Schur function, we can take the diffusion scaling limit of the vicious walks and define a noncolliding system of Brownian particles. This diffusion process solves the stochastic differential equations with the drift terms acting as the repulsive two-body forces proportional to the inverse of distances between particles, and thus it is identified with Dyson's Brownian motion model. In other words, the obtained noncolliding system of Brownian particles is equivalent in distribution with the eigenvalue process of a Hermitian matrix-valued process.

description: In this study we use Taiwan as a case study to provide an economy-wide analysis of impacts on Taiwan of WTO tariff reduction schemes with different combinations of thresholds and reduction rates. The model we utilized in this study is Taiwan General Equilibrium Model with a WTO module (TAIGEM-WTO, hereafter) that is a multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Taiwan's economy derived from Australian ORANI model (Dixon, Parmenter, Sutton and Vincent, 1982). Simulation results show that results are more sensitive to the scheme of tariff-reduction (i.e., Category 1, 2, and 3) than the tiered levels (i.e., A, B, C, and D) and as a strategy we should pay more attention to the arguments related to the amounts of tariff-reduction. Moreover, changes in nominal average tariff rates are more sensitive and shocks to the economy are more severe when we change the tariff reduction categories rather than the tiered levels. This conclusion also applies to the tiered reduction case when only sensitive products are considered. Finally, simulations with sector's bound rate calculated using arithmetic means have bigger effects than those using import values as weights. Therefore, sector's bound rate using import values as weights would be preferred.

description: In a well-aimed search based on the recently published Gaia~DR2 radial velocity data and performed with the robotic TIGRE telescope, we have discovered 19 bright ($m_V<7.66$~mag) spectroscopic binary stars. We present the radial velocity curves of five of these stars (HD~20656, HD~27259, HD~98812, HD~150600, HD~193082) with periods of $P<365$~days. We determined their orbital parameters using the toolkit RadVel. The complete set of basic stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, metallicity, mass and age) of the primary stars are determined using the observed intermediate resolution spectra ($R\approx20,000$) with iSpec and a comparison of the position in the HRD with stellar evolution tracks. All five primary stars have already evolved to the giant phase and possess low-mass secondaries, which do not noticeably affect the spectra. Finally, we determined the minimum masses of the secondary stars of the binary systems and present conclusions about the properties of the binary systems.

description: The functional specification of mean-standard deviation approach is examined under location and scale parameter condition. Firstly, the full set of restrictions imposed on the mean-standard deviation function under the location and scale parameter condition are made clear. Secondly, the examination based on the restrictions mentioned in the previous sentence derives the new properties of the mean-standard deviation function on the applicability of additive separability and the curvature of expansion path which links the points that give the same slope of indifference curve. It reveals that attention has not been sufficiently paid to the restrictions in interpreting the linear mean-standard deviation model and the nonlinear mean-standard deviation model that have been used in previous research. Thirdly, the interpretation of the nonlinear mean-standard deviation model is reconsidered in detail and then an alternative nonlinear mean-standard deviation model is proposed. The implication of the two nonlinear mean-standard deviation models to the empirical approach called "joint analysis of risk preference structure and technology" is discussed.

description: The hybrid pixel detectors used in the high energy physics experiments currently under construction use a three dimensional connection technique, the so-called bump bonding. As the pitch below 100um, required in these applications, cannot be fullfilled with standard industrial processes (e.g. the IBM C4 process), an in-house bump bond process using reflown indium bumps was developed at PSI as part of the R&D for the CMS-pixel detector. The bump deposition on the sensor is performed in two subsequent lift-off steps. As the first photolithographic step a thin under bump metalization (UBM) is sputtered onto bump pads. It is wettable by indium and defines the diameter of the bump. The indium is evaporated via a second photolithographic step with larger openings and is reflown afterwards. The height of the balls is defined by the volume of the indium. On the readout chip only one photolithographic step is carried out to deposit the UBM and a thin indium layer for better adhesion. After mating both parts a second reflow is performed for self alignment and obtaining a high mechanical strength. For the placement of the chips a manual and an automatic machine was constructed. The former is very flexible in handling different chip and module geometries but has a limited throughput while the latter features a much higher grade of automatisation and is therefore much more suited for producing hundreds of modules with a well defined geometry. The reliability of this process was proven by the successful construction of the PILATUS detector. The construction of PILATUS 6M (60 modules) and the CMS pixel barrel (roughly 800 modules) will start in 2005.

Kinematic isotropy and robot design optimization using a genetic algorithm method
Creators: name: Khatami, Shabnam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The optimal kinematic design of robots is an interesting problem in contemporary robotics. It is important to have measures for determining the precision of the mechanism and size of the robot manipulator at the design phase. This all has been done before mostly on the basis of experience. The most essential issue for setting up any measures seems to be the ease of changing arbitrarily the position and orientation of the end-effector at the tip of the manipulator. In the majority of recent works on optimal robot design, one of the most important criteria is that the robot can achieve isotropic configurations. The operation near isotropic configuration is considered as a high performance for robotic manipulators. At these configurations, the best servo accuracy can be achieved, the likelihood of error is equal in all directions, and equal forces may be exerted in all directions [29]. A measure of isotropy called the Global Isotropy Index or GII [49] has been used in this work, which is based on the robot behavior in the entire workspace. The GII is computed as the ratio of the minimum singular value of a robot's Jacobian matrix to the maximum one throughout its workspace. In search for finding the optimum design parameters that provide the most isotropic performance, the positions that offer the minimum ratio of singular values for each set of design parameters are compared to each other to find the maximum one. This strategy illustrates in fact a minimax optimization problem. A "Genetic Algorithm" has been developed to optimize the minimax problem in order to find optimal design parameters such as link lengths of the best isotropic robot configurations at optimal working points of the end-effector and later, it has been implemented to optimize globally throughout the whole robot workspace. The method has been demonstrated for two types of robotic manipulators.

Technology Adoption against Invasive Species

Subjects: Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies

description: This paper explores the issue of technology adoption in agriculture that is specifically targeted against invasive species. The analysis involves predicting the long term distribution of technology choices when technology can be adopted and dis-adopted based upon current and expected agricultural profits which are influenced by the state of pest infestation. The impact of adaptive learning on adoption of technology is analyzed in the setting of complacency set in from a reduction in risks or compulsion to adopt technology from reduced profitability in event of non-adoption. Possibility of eradication of the disease based upon long term adoption of technology is also explored. The theoretical analysis confirms the intuition that psychological factors such as complacency may have a significant impact on technology adoption and hence disease eradication. Further, learning from neighbors may not necessarily lead to higher technology adoption. In fact, overall adoption may go down based upon the level of complacency prevalent in masses. An empirical application is performed for the case of soybean rust. Findings indicate that the role of psychological perceptions may play a role in disease spread in the short run. The long term spread and establishment of the disease would be determined by nature and speed of the learning process for the farmer over the pest's optimal management strategy.

description: This paper looks at a class of closed orientable 3-manifolds constructed from a gluing of three handlebodies, such that the inclusion of each handlebody is $π_1$-injective. This construction is the generalisation to handlebodies of the condition for gluing three solid tori to produce non-Haken Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with infinite fundamental group. It is shown that there is an efficient algorithm to decide if a gluing of handlebodies meets the disk-condition. Also an outline for the construction of the characteristic variety (JSJ decomposition) in such manifolds is given. Some non-Haken and atoroidal examples are given.

description: The statistical shape analysis method developed for probing the link between physical parameters and morphologies of Galactic HII regions is applied here to a set of synthetic observations (SOs) of a numerically modelled HII region. The systematic extraction of HII region shape, presented in the first paper of this series, allows for a quantifiable confirmation of the accuracy of the numerical simulation, with respect to the real observational counterparts of the resulting SOs. A further aim of this investigation is to determine whether such SOs can be used for direct interpretation of the observational data, in a future supervised classification scheme based upon HII region shape. The numerical HII region data was the result of photoionisation and radiation pressure feedback of a 34 Msun star, in a 1000 Msun cloud. The SOs analysed herein comprised four evolutionary snapshots (0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 Myr), and multiple viewing projection angles. The shape analysis results provided conclusive evidence of the efficacy of the numerical simulations. When comparing the shapes of the synthetic regions to their observational counterparts, the SOs were grouped in amongst the Galactic HII regions by the hierarchical clustering procedure. There was also an association between the evolutionary distribution of regions and the respective groups. This suggested that the shape analysis method could be further developed for morphological classification of HII regions by using a synthetic data training set, with differing initial conditions of well-defined parameters.

description: Changes in American agriculture have yielded a diversity of farm types. These changes have extended beyond the farm business and into the farm household. The objective of this research is to motivate, develop, and discuss the policy implications of a new typology of U.S. farm households that is based on household economic theory. Using the 2003 Agricultural Resource Management Survey and statistical analysis, six mutually exclusive groups of U.S. farm households are identified as the U.S. Farm Household Typology. This typology is then compared to the current Economic Research Service Farm Typology and used to investigate the distribution of government payments.

description: We use a configuration space chiral model in order to evaluate nucleon and delta sigma-terms. Analytic expressions are consistent with chiral counting rules and give rise to expected non-analytic terms in the chiral limit. We obtain the results $σ_N=46$ MeV and $σ_Δ=32$ MeV, which are very close to values extracted from experiment and produced by other groups.
