description: With the Food Harvest 2020 and Foodwise 2025, Ireland has published two national food strategies to chart the direction of agri-food, forestry and fisheries for what will come after the EU milk quota abolishment and to develop a strong and sustainable ‘green’ pillar of the Irish economy up to 2025. Next to this agricultural development strategy, Ireland has Greenhouse Gas emission targets set, which since 2009, not only contain the EU’s Emission Trading Scheme sector but also the non-ETS sector. In the absence of any mitigation, agricultural GHG emissions in Ireland are projected to increase by 9% by 2030 relative to the 2005 base year due to strong growth of the agriculture sector. Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACCs) estimated by the Teagasc Working Group on GHG emissions have projected the total technically feasible mitigation potential for the Irish agriculture, forestry and land use (AFOLU) sector up to 2030. Existing Irish studies on the real term realisation of mitigation measures identify, through the use of either probit or logit models, farmers’ attitudes and farm structures that influence the level of adoption of abatement tools. This study adjusts the MACC abatement potential by applying the identified uptake rates of these Irish case studies. The adjusted mitigation potential for the AFOLU sector appears to lie 29% below the potential projected through the MACC approach. From the results, it can be inferred that policy measures need to be implemented in order to increase the abatement potential of the AFOLU sector, to substantially help bring the nexus between agricultural development and GHG emission targets in Ireland closer together. One main factor influencing the uptake rate of mitigation measures is the farmers’ understanding of the issues and measures available to tackle these. Therefore, the behavioural changes of farmers need to be understood and to reduce agricultural GHG emissions,polices are needed that remove the barriers to behavioural change.

description: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a soil conditioner derived from steel slag (Agrosilicio Plus – ASP) compared to dolomitic limestone (DLS) in agriculture. The research questions were about how ASP compares to DLS in terms of soil acidity correction, productivity, and the nutritional status of the forage grass Panicum maximum cv. BRS Zuri. Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse using plastic pots filled with a 0-20 cm layer of Ferrasol. In the first experiment, soil conditioners were applied on the surface, while in the second, they were incorporated into the soil. A complete block design with a 2 × 4 + 1 factorial arrangement was employed. The factors included two soil conditioners (ASP and DLS) at four application rates (25%, 50%, 100%, and 150% of the liming requirement). A control treatment without any conditioner application was also included. P. maximum was grown in three successive 45-day cropping cycles. The shoot dry mass and nutrient content in plants’ tissues were measured. Both ASP and DLS were effective in correcting soil acidity. The ASP led to a higher silicon accumulation in the plants, whereas DLS resulted in higher calcium accumulation. Increasing rates of both conditioners generally had positive effects on most variables measured. When applied on the surface, ASP led to higher dry mass production accumulated in three crops. ASP is a viable alternative to limestone for correcting soil acidity and supplying essential nutrients and silicon to BRS Zuri grass. Additionally, ASP can effectively be applied on the soil surface.

description: This paper considers the problem of releasing privacy-preserving load data of a decentralized operated power system. The paper focuses on data used to solve Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problems and proposes a distributed algorithm that complies with the notion of Differential Privacy, a strong privacy framework used to bound the risk of re-identification. The problem is challenging since the application of traditional differential privacy mechanisms to the load data fundamentally changes the nature of the underlying optimization problem and often leads to severe feasibility issues. The proposed differentially private distributed algorithm is based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) and guarantees that the released privacy-preserving data retains high fidelity and satisfies the AC power flow constraints. Experimental results on a variety of OPF benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Just Space : Towards a Gentle Courthouse
Creators: name: Allen, Blaike
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The modern courthouse is a space of power, intimidation and control; a building that requires its users to be submissive and obedient. This environment contributes to the emotional trauma of participating in the judicial process. By challenging contemporary standards of courthouse organization, aesthetics, and program, this project aims to provide empathy and support to users that a typical courthouse does not. Flipping the hierarchies, siting, and programming of the traditional courthouse, this space can adapt to shifting community needs and puts the emotional and physical experience and wellbeing of users at its centre. The fear and respect demanded by the architecture of the typical courthouse model is no accident; how can we subvert this power and reclaim the courthouse as a productive and healing space for the people, serving its community rather than intimidating it?

description: A stylized fact of African agriculture is that experimentally derived crop responses to inorganic fertilizer application are substantially greater than those from observational studies e.g., farm surveys and administrative data. The continuing divergence between experimental and observational crop responses reported in the literature coupled with the recent debates on the costs and benefits of the re-surging farm input subsidy programs in Africa have ignited the old problem of reconciling these estimates. This paper argues that progress on closing the gaps has been impeded by the focus on the mean crop response differences while ignoring the enormous uncertainty and heterogeneity. I show in this paper that a convenient way of dealing with different crop response function estimates is to use a Bayesian approach to get combined estimates that are weighted by the uncertainty in each data source and can be adjusted for unobserved heterogeneity using a Bayesian hierarchical model. The plausible assumption that makes this approach optimal is that the experimental process overestimates the “true” crop response while observational methods overestimate failures. Using nationally representative experimental, survey, and administrative datasets from Malawi, I find that even after combining the estimates; crop responses are low, heterogenous across space and that ignoring the parameter uncertainty and heterogeneity in crop responses inevitably results in wrong policy prescriptions.

description: We derive limits on any electromagnetic counterpart to the compact binary merger S190814bv, whose parameters are consistent with the merger of a black hole and a neutron star. We present observations with the new wide-field optical imager DDOTI and also consider Swift/BAT observations reported by Palmer et al. (2019). We show that Swift/BAT would have detected a counterpart with similar properties to a typical on-axis short GRB at the 98 per cent confidence level, whereas our DDOTI observations only rule out such a counterpart at the 27 per cent confidence level. Neither have sufficient sensitivity to rule out an off-axis counterpart like GW 170817. We compare the efficiency of Swift/BAT and DDOTI for future observations, and show that DDOTI is likely to be about twice as efficient as Swift/BAT for off-axis events up to about 100 Mpc.

Our core partner websites are custom built and they provide unique user experience that suits the needs of partnering institutions and funding agencies. So as we are building new generation of digital asset management systems at ICPSR, we focus on building shared capabilities that are easy to maintain, but configurable to meet needs of varying websites and styling and themes.Plugin FeaturesWe are excited to demonstrate an embeddable search GUI component that is both reusable and configurable built on top of Apache Solr Index. It is designed and implemented using common browser technologies like HTML, JavaScript (Facebook ReactJS) and CSS with a shared search server component supporting the solr query syntax. This allows the websites to include search GUI and results pane with minimal coding, independent of specific web technology stack.A specific custom website can include this search component very easily with few lines of JavaScript code and linking JavaScript library and associated style sheets provided by the central search manager. Search also provides an auto-suggest feature, where successful search terms are automatically memorized with actual result counts. Allowing system to machine learn and suggest better and alternate search terms as the system matures with more usage.During this session we will demonstrate the capabilities with some samples and provide insights into technology behind the Search GUI Plugin.

description: Lanthanide metals are a particular class of magnetic materials in which the magnetic moments are carried mainly by the localized electrons of the 4f shell. They are frequently found in technically relevant systems, to achieve, e.g., high magnetic anisotropy. Magneto-optical methods in the x-ray range are well suited to study complex magnetic materials in an element-specific way. In this work, we report on recent progress on the quantitative determination of magneto-optical constants of several lanthanides in the soft x-ray region and we show some examples of applications of magneto-optics to hard-magnetic interfaces and exchange-coupled layered structures containing lanthanide elements.

description: Slow dynamic nonlinearity is widely observed in brittle materials with complex heterogeneous or cracked microstructures. It is seen in rocks, concrete and cracked glass blocks. Unconsolidated structures show the behavior as well: aggregates of glass beads under pressure and a single glass bead confined between two glass plates. A defining feature is the loss of stiffness after a mechanical conditioning, followed by a logarithmic-in-time recovery. Materials observed to exhibit slow dynamics are sufficiently different in microstructure, chemical composition, and scale (ranging from the laboratory to the seismological) to suggest some kind of universality. There lacks a full theoretical understanding of the universality in general and the log(time) recovery in particular; one suspicion has been that the phenomenon is associated with glassy grain boundaries and microcracking. Seminal studies were focused on sandstones and other natural rocks, but in recent years other experimental venues have been introduced with which to inform theory. Here, we present measurements on some simple metallic systems: an unconsolidated aggregate of aluminum beads under a confining pressure, and an aluminum bead confined between two aluminum plates, and a steel bead confined between steel plates. Ultrasonic waves are used as probes of the systems, and changes are assessed with coda wave interferometry. Three different methods of low-frequency conditioning are applied; all reveal slow dynamic nonlinearities. Results imply that glassy microstructures and cracking do not play essential roles, as they would appear to be absent in our systems.

description: This research aims at investigating the impacts of food assistance programmes on the resilience to food insecurity of the beneficiary household under the World Food Programme (WFP) and Oxfam America’s (OA) project “The R4 Rural Resilience Initiative” implemented in rural and vulnerable areas of Malawi during the period 2015-2016. The empirical analysis uses the Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis II (RIMA-II) methodology of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and a reflexive method for impact evaluation. RIMA II analysis reveals positive relationships between programme interventions and higher levels of food security and resilience. The impact analysis shows positive impacts of the R4 rural initiative, demonstrating an improvement of the resilience, food security, access to loans and insurance, and in savings. The final conclusion is that food assistance programmes enhanced the beneficiary households’ resilience to food insecurity.
The Forever Home : Redefining Aging-In-Place

description: How do we house our aging population? This question – often overlooked, is one that requires an immediate solution. The population of individuals over 65 in Canada is projected to double by 2030, reaching 22% of the overall population. With this in mind, it is essential that adequate architectural solutions are able to meet the dynamic needs of this aging demographic. The existing housing stock consist of reactive solutions, whereby individuals sequentially progress from one typology to another in accordance with their needs. This causes strain, confusion, and requires extensive support as individuals orient and adapt to a new environment. This thesis explores a proactive and holistic architectural approach that allows for individuals to age-in-place in a vibrant community that can meet their needs at all stages of life. Reverse community integration is achieved using a public grocery store, restaurant, pub, and shops dispersed throughout the building. Residences are dichotomized into blocks consisting of eight units that can be partitioned in various ways. This facilitates architectural flexibility while simultaneously building resilience for future generations.

The contribution to the radiative corrections due to the hard-photon emission from the elastic electron-deuteron scattering (the so-called elastic radiative tail) is also investigated. The calculation is based on the covariant parametrization of the deuteron quadrupole polarization tensor. The numerical estimates of the radiative corrections to the polarization observables have been done for the kinematical conditions of the current experiment at HERA

description: Higgs pair production provides a unique handle for measuring the strength of the Higgs self interaction and constraining the shape of the Higgs potential. Among the proposed future facilities, a circular 100 TeV proton-proton collider would provide the most precise measurement of this crucial quantity. In this work, we perform a detailed analysis of the most promising decay channels and derive the expected sensitivity of their combination, assuming an integrated luminosity of 30 ab$^{-1}$. Depending on the assumed systematic uncertainties, we observe that the Higgs self-coupling will be measured with a precision in the range 3.4 - 7.8% at 68% confidence level.

description: Sustainable diets incorporate consumer acceptability whilst being nutritious and having a low carbon footprint. This paper estimated Exact Affine Stone Index (EASI) incomplete demand systems for different households using the Scottish section of Kantar Worldpanel data from 2010 to 2015. The resulting price elasticities were used within the Green et al (2015) quadratic programming diet model to estimate the quantities of food products which would constitute a sustainable diet. Four demographic groups were modelled and the results suggested that three of the groups could experience carbon emission reductions of between 30 to 55 per cent relative to baseline emissions. The diets would also likely offer an improvement in terms of nutritional quality as measured by the Mean Excess Ratio (MER).

description: The exploration of novel carriers for cancer treatments is on the rise, as drugs are often hindered by ineffective delivery. In the present study, Mesoporous silica nano scaffolds were developed by a novel heat assisted hydrolysis (HAH) technique, and were functionalized using PLGA. These carriers were further loaded with nanosized Gefitinib (GTB). The surface properties of MSNs (GTB-PEG-PLGA-MSN) were enhanced using 1-oleoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SPC3). The MSNs were characterized for pore volume, particle size, zeta potential (ZP), surface area, entrapment efficiency (�), and drug content. The in vitro drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity analysis, and in vivo biodistribution studies were performed in optimized MSN using Albino Wistar rats. The result shows an increase in surface area, pore volume, �, and drug loading in MSN. In vitro cytotoxicity of optimized F5-GTB-PEG-PLGA-SPC3-MSN demonstrated a higher antitumor activity (43.84 ± 0.63%, p < 0.05) in comparison to free drug. A higher GTB was detected in the liver (29,415 ± 126 ng) indicating significant biodistribution (p > 0.05). The in vitro studies in the MCF-7 cell line signify an increase in cell viability demonstrating its efficacy in breast cancer. Optimized F5-GTB-PEG-PLGA-SPC3-MSN offers improved cellular uptake, biodistribution, and higher antitumor suppression with less toxicity. To conclude, the HAH technique produced stable MSNs, and PLGA-SPC3 functionalized MSN nano scaffolds could be an ideal carrier for cancer drug delivery.

description: Food insecurity and malnutrition are being worsened in countries that are exposed to armed conflict. Nigeria has witnessed a decade of protracted armed conflict and civil unrest. Many civilians have died and some farming communities have been sacked as a result. This study uses fixed-effect and random-effect models on a nationally-representative household panel data–Nigeria Living Standard Measurement Survey and Armed Conflict and Event Location Data, to examine the linkages between conflict, food price shocks, and calorie intake and acute malnutrition (wasting) among children. The prevalence of calorie intake inadequacy and wasting increase across the years in conflict-prone areas. Empirical results suggest that increases in food prices, especially staples have a depressing effects on calorie intake and increasing influence on wasting prevalence. Surprisingly, there appears to be a decrease likelihood of wasting among households in conflict-prone areas despite relatively low level of calorie intake. This result may be indicative of access to certain nutrition-related non-food factors capable of reinforcing the available calorie intake in the areas. Although sensitively guided food pricing policy and prevention of conflicts are critical for improve calorie intake and nutrition outcome, greater reduction in wasting prevalence may be achieved if other nutrition-related factors are considered.

description: We investigate continuous variable quantum teleportation. We discuss the methods presently used to characterize teleportation in this regime, and propose an extension of the measures proposed by Grangier and Grosshans \cite{Grangier00}, and Ralph and Lam \cite{Ralph98}. This new measure, the gain normalized conditional variance product $\mathcal{M}$, turns out to be highly significant for continuous variable entanglement swapping procedures, which we examine using a necessary and sufficient criterion for entanglement. We elaborate on our recent experimental continuous variable quantum teleportation results \cite{Bowen03}, demonstrating success over a wide range of teleportation gains. We analyze our results using fidelity; signal transfer, and the conditional variance product; and a measure derived in this paper, the gain normalized conditional variance product.

description: Gravitational waves bring about the relative motion of free test masses. The detailed knowledge of this motion is important conceptually and practically, because the mirrors of laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves are essentially free test masses. There exists an analogy between the motion of free masses in the field of a gravitational wave and the motion of free charges in the field of an electromagnetic wave. In particular, a gravitational wave drives the masses in the plane of the wave-front and also, to a smaller extent, back and forth in the direction of the wave's propagation. To describe this motion, we introduce the notion of `electric' and `magnetic' components of the gravitational force. This analogy is not perfect, but it reflects some important features of the phenomenon. Using different methods, we demonstrate the presence and importance of what we call the `magnetic' component of motion of free masses. It contributes to the variation of distance between a pair of particles. We explicitely derive the full response function of a 2-arm laser interferometer to a gravitational wave of arbitrary polarization. We give a convenient description of the response function in terms of the spin-weighted spherical harmonics. We show that the previously ignored `magnetic' component may provide a correction of up to 10 %, or so, to the usual `electric' component of the response function. The `magnetic' contribution must be taken into account in the data analysis, if the parameters of the radiating system are not to be mis-estimated.

description: This paper discusses a novel fault location approach using single ended measurement. The natural dissipation of the circuit parameters are considered for fault location. A relationship between the damped natural frequency of oscillation of the transmission line current and fault location is established in this paper. The hybrid dc circuit breaker (dcCB) interrupts the fault current and the line current attenuates under the absence of any driving voltage source. The line capacitance discharges into the fault at a specific frequency of oscillation and rate of attenuation. Utilizing this information, the fault location in a multi-terminal direct current (MTdc) network can be predicted. A three terminal radial model of a MTdc is used for performance evaluation of the proposed method using Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD)/Electromagnetic Transients including dc (EMTdc).

Fight for your right!: Marketing data and data resources to non-data users
Creators: name: Kellam, Lynda
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2011

description: As data professionals, our work often requires explaining and justifying our positions and our data resources. Whether we are data librarians in large research institutions with well-established services or social science librarians at small institutions with few data users, we all must fight for resources that may seem overly expensive and esoteric to non-data users. In this pecha kucha I will highlight efforts at various libraries to make data services and resources accessible (and appealing) to non-data users. These efforts are not limited to the use of creative marketing techniques; they also include approaches to teaching and virtual reference that introduce users to data resources without overwhelming them. At the most basic level, the way that we communicate and explain our services on our websites impact how our users will interact with us and our resources. In a world of 20% budget reductions data professionals must fight for the right to data while developing relationships with partners throughout our user communities that will lead to better understanding of, and as a result, higher use of data resources.

description: The original B. Pontecorvo idea of neutrino oscillations is discussed. Neutrino mixing and basics of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter are considered. Recent evidences in favour of neutrino oscillations, obtained in Super-Kamiokande, SNO, KamLAND and other neutrino experiments are discussed. Neutrino oscillations in the solar and atmospheric ranges of the neutrino mass-squared differences are considered in the framework of the minimal scheme with the mixing of three massive neutrinos. Results of the tritium beta-decay experiments and experiments on the search for neutrinoless double-beta-decay are briefly discussed.

Cactospiza striatipecta

description: Cactospiza striatipecta (Swarth, 1931)
Type: Male adult. no. 7637, Mus. Calif. Acad. Sci., San Cristobal Island, Galapagos Archipelago; 29 January, 1906; Collected by R. H. Beck.
Characters: A slightly differentiated form of Cactospiza pallida, distinguished by characters of colour and structure. Compared with C. pallida and C. producta, it is more conspicuously streaked below, and the bill is shorter and heavier.
Habitat— San Cristobal Island
The Academy series consists of 10 specimens: six adult males (one collected 10 September, one 26 January, four 29 January), two adult females (29 January), one apparently immature female (8 September), and one male in juvenal plumage (23 February). Some specimens of pallida from Santiago Island show more ventral streaking than some individuals of striatipecta, but the streaked condition is more general and the streaks more sharply defined in the latter series. Just one of the 10 specimens is unstreaked below. The best character of the San Cristobal Island form, however, lies in the bill, which is shorter and heavier than in the other subspecies of pallida. Of the seven January specimens, four have the bill black and in three it is dusky. In the September-taken male, it is dusky; in the September-taken female (possibly an immature bird) it is yellowish. In the juvenile it is yellowish. The young bird is lightly streaked below, on a ground that is whitish with a faint yellowish suffusion. It is less heavily streaked than young of pallida, in which the adult is immaculate.
