description: Epidemic models play a key role in understanding and responding to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. Widely used compartmental models are static and are of limited use to evaluate intervention strategies with the emerging pandemic. Applying the technology of data assimilation, we propose a Bayesian updating approach for estimating epidemiological parameters using observable information for the purpose of assessing the impacts of different intervention strategies. We adopt a concise renewal model and propose new parameters by disentangling the reduction of instantaneous reproduction number Rt into mitigation and suppression factors for quantifying intervention impacts at a finer granularity. Then we developed a data assimilation framework for estimating these parameters including constructing an observation function and developing a Bayesian updating scheme. A statistical analysis framework is then built to quantify the impact of intervention strategies by monitoring the evolution of these estimated parameters. By Investigating the impacts of intervention measures of European countries, the United States and Wuhan with the framework, we reveal the effects of interventions in these countries and the resurgence risk in the USA.

description: Nonnative invasive species result in sizeable economic damages and expensive control costs. Because dynamic optimization models break down if controls depend in complex ways on past controls, non-uniform or scale-dependent spatial attributes, etc., decision support systems that allow learning may be preferred. We compare three models of an invasive weed in California’s grazing lands: (1) a stochastic dynamic programming model, (2) a reinforcement-based, experience-weighted attraction (EWA) learning model, and (3) an EWA model that also includes stochastic forage growth and penalties for repeated application of environmentally harmful control techniques. Results indicate that EWA learning models may be appropriate for invasive species management.

description: We show that the one-loop ghost self-energy in an equivariantly gauge-fixed Yang--Mills theory vanishes at zero momentum. A ghost mass is forbidden by equivariant BRST symmetry, and our calculation confirms this explicitly. The four-ghost self interaction which appears in the equivariantly gauge-fixed Yang--Mills theory is needed in order to obtain this result.

description: We calculate the exact stationary distribution of the one-dimensional zero-range process with open boundaries for arbitrary bulk and boundary hopping rates. When such a distribution exists, the steady state has no correlations between sites and is uniquely characterized by a space-dependent fugacity which is a function of the boundary rates and the hopping asymmetry. For strong boundary drive the system has no stationary distribution. In systems which on a ring geometry allow for a condensation transition, a condensate develops at one or both boundary sites. On all other sites the particle distribution approaches a product measure with the finite critical density ρ_c. In systems which do not support condensation on a ring, strong boundary drive leads to a condensate at the boundary. However, in this case the local particle density in the interior exhibits a complex algebraic growth in time. We calculate the bulk and boundary growth exponents as a function of the system parameters.
Canada-US Softwood Lumber Trade Revisited: Examining the Role of Substitution Bias in the Context of a Spatial Price Equilibrium Framework

description: In the last two decades, softwood lumber trade between Canada and the United States has been characterized by numerous trade restrictions. Many studies have attempted to quantify the effects of such sanctions, and in doing so, softwood lumber was modeled as a single, homogenous commodity. However, recent research has suggested that this may be a misleading assumption, since not all softwood lumber products are equivalent substitutes. We refer to this problem as the substitution bias, and uniquely address this issue in estimating the effects of trade restricting policies. Using a spatial price equilibrium (spe) model, impacts of the post-sla import duties are estimated and compared to estimates of two alternative policy regimes – an export tax and quota. By controlling for substitution bias, our estimates indicate a larger share of the tariff burden is placed on us consumers, with Canadian producers suffering less injury compared to estimates using the traditional homogenous lumber assumption. In addition, by comparing the net impact associated with the alternative policy regimes, a policy equivalence result is found. Our results suggest that the short-run impact of a trade restriction is largely independent of the policy regime incorporated, with the collection of quota rents or tax revenues determining overall winners and losers.
Infrared catastrophe and tunneling into strongly correlated electron systems: Exact solution of the x-ray edge limit for the 1D electron gas and 2D Hall fluid

description: In previous work we have proposed that the non-Fermi-liquid spectral properties in a variety of low-dimensional and strongly correlated electron systems are caused by the infrared catastrophe, and we used an exact functional integral representation for the interacting Green's function to map the tunneling problem onto the x-ray edge problem, plus corrections. The corrections are caused by the recoil of the tunneling particle, and, in systems where the method is applicable, are not expected to change the qualitative form of the tunneling density of states (DOS). Qualitatively correct results were obtained for the DOS of the 1D electron gas and 2D Hall fluid when the corrections to the x-ray edge limit were neglected and when the corresponding Nozieres-De Dominicis integral equations were solved by resummation of a divergent perturbation series. Here we reexamine the x-ray edge limit for these two models by solving these integral equations exactly, finding the expected modifications of the DOS exponent in the 1D case but finding no changes in the DOS of the 2D Hall fluid with short-range interaction. We also provide, for the first time, an exact solution of the Nozieres-De Dominicis equation for the 2D electron gas in the lowest Landau level.

description: We present a three-dimensional (3D) partitioned aeroelastic formulation for a flexible multibody system interacting with incompressible turbulent fluid flow. While the incompressible Navier-Stokes system is discretized using a stabilized Petrov-Galerkin procedure, the multibody structural system consists of a generic interaction of multiple components such as rigid body, beams and flexible thin shells along with various types of joints and connections among them. A co-rotational framework is utilized for the category of small strain problems where the displacement of the body is decomposed into a rigid body rotation and a small strain component. This assumption simplifies the structural equations and allows for the incorporation of multiple bodies (rigid as well as flexible) in the system. The displacement and rotation constraints at the joints are imposed by a Lagrange multiplier method. The equilibrium conditions at the fluid-structure interface are satisfied by the transfer of tractions and structural displacements via the radial basis function approach, which is globally conservative. For the coupled stability in low structure-to-fluid mass ratio regimes, a nonlinear iterative force correction scheme is employed in the partitioned staggered predictor-corrector scheme. The convergence and generality of the radial basis function mapping are analyzed by carrying out systematic error analysis of the transfer of fluid traction across the non-matching fluid-structure interface where a third-order of convergence is observed. The proposed aeroelastic framework is then validated by considering a flow across a flexible pitching plate configuration with serration at the trailing edge. Finally, we demonstrate the flow across a flexible flapping wing of a bat modeling the bone fingers as beams and the flexible membrane as thin shells in the multibody system along with the joints.

Poultry manure and composted yard trimmings for organic vegetable production in Delta, B.C.
Creators: name: Nolan, Katrina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Due to a growing poultry industry in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, an abundance of manure is shipped to Delta, B.C. Delta farmers are concerned that large quantities of poultry manure may harm crop quality and cause nitrogen leaching losses. This study tested the effects of organic fertilizer applications on agronomic indicators of crop quality and the potential for nitrate leaching in Delta, and sought tools for predicting appropriate manure application rates. Field trials on commercial certified organic sweet corn (Zea mays L. saccarata Sturt), green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.) fields in Delta, B.C. tested poultry manure at rates of 10 and 20 t/ha, and composted yard trimmings and a mixture of the two materials, at rates of about 10 t/ha. Weeds in the corn and bean experiments and insect pests on broccoli were not affected by treatments. Clubroot in broccoli was suppressed by manure treatments. Diagnostic levels of crop tissue nitrogen were within the sufficiency range for corn and beans. Yields were not affected by treatments, relative to controls. In corn and broccoli fields, the potential for nitrate leaching increased disproportionately at manure rates above 25 m³/ha. This may be a result of application rate exceeding the maximum crop N uptake, which was 140 kg/ha for corn and 110 kg/ha for broccoli. Available soil N in control plots (soil mineral N + crop N at harvest) was about 115 kg/ha in the corn and bean experiments, and 89 kg/ha in broccoli. Laboratory incubation experiments showed that poultry manure can mineralize 160 kg N/ha over 74 days, and that composted yard trimmings reduces the N application when mixed with manure. Composted yard trimmings alone caused N immobilization after 31 d, but not after 60 d. It is recommended that the capacity of compost and manure to contribute to soil available N be better quantified in Delta, and that rates not exceed 25 m³/ha for crops with similar uptake patterns to those studied. Annual inputs are not necessary on fields which have a large store of soil available N due to management history.

description: The probability of multiple ionization of krypton by 50 femtosecond circularly polarized laser pulses, independent of the optical focal geometry, has been obtained for the first time. The excellent agreement over the intensity range 10 TWcm-2 to 10 PWcm-2 with the recent predictions of A. S. Kornev et al [Phys. Rev. A v.68, art.043414 (2003)] provides the first experimental confirmation that non-recollisional electronic excitation can occur in strong field ionization. This is particularly true for higher stages of ionization, when the laser intensity exceeds 1 PWcm-2 as the energetic departure of the ionized electron(s) diabatically distorts the wavefunctions of the bound electrons. By scaling the probability of ionization by the focal volume, we discusses why this mechanism was not apparent in previous studies.

description: This research examines the effects of various factors on farmer participation in agricultural tree plantations for economic, environmental, social and carbon-uptake purposes, and potential costs of sequestering carbon through afforestation in western Canada. Using data from a survey of landowners, a discrete choice random utility model is used to determine the probability of landowners’ participation and corresponding mean willingness to accept (WTA) compensation for a tree-planting program. WTA includes positive and negative benefits to landowners from planting trees, benefits not captured by foregone returns from agricultural activities on marginal land. Estimates of WTA are less than foregone returns, but even so average costs of creating carbon credits still exceed their projected value under a CO2-emissions trading scheme.

description: Using a perturbative approach, we investigate the parametric down-conversion process without the semi-classical approximation. A Wigner functional formalism, which incorporates both the spatiotemproal degrees of freedom and the particle-number degrees of freedom is used to perform the analysis. First, we derive an evolution equation for the down-conversion process in the nonlinear medium. Then we use the perturbative approach to solve the equation. The leading order contribution is equivalent to the semi-classical solution. The next-to-leading order contribution provides a solution that includes the evolution of the pump field as a quantum field.

description: Scientists are enthusiastic about storing carbon in terrestrial sinks and geological reservoirs in order to obviate the need for lifestyle-changing reductions in fossil-fuel use. Estimating relative costs of various options depends on how permanence is assessed and whether physical carbon is discounted. We demonstrate that, in carbon markets, terrestrial sinks credits cannot be traded one-for-one for emission reduction credits and the conversion factor would depend on how long sinks keep CO2 out of the atmosphere as compared with emission reductions and, discounting physical carbon. As a result, the authority could not determine a conversion factor and the market would be required to do so.

description: Semiconductors with strong spin-orbit interactions can exhibit a helical gap with spin-momentum locking opened by a magnetic field. Such a gap is highly spin selective as a result of a topologically protected spin-momentum locking, which can be used for spin filtering. We experimentally demonstrate such a spin filtering effect in a quasi-ballistic p-type germanium/silicon core/shell nanowire (NW), which possesses a pseudo-helical gap without the application of magnetic field. Polarized hole spin injection to the NW is achieved using cobalt ferromagnetic contacts with controlled natural surface oxide on the NW as a tunnel barrier. Local and nonlocal spin valve effects are measured as the verification of polarized spin transport in the NW outside the helical gap. We electrically tune the NW into the helical gap by scanning its chemical potential with a gate. A hysteresis loop with three resistance states is observed in the local spin valve geometry, as an evidence of spin filtering in the helical gap.

description: We revisit the concept of superfluidity in bosonic lattice models in low dimensions. Then, by using numerical and analytical results obtained previously for equivalent spinless fermion models, we show that the gapless phase of 1D interacting bosons may be either superfluid or -remarkably- metallic and not superfluid. The latter phase -the Bose metal- should be, according to the mentioned results, a robust and stable phase in 1D. In higher dimensionalities we speculate on the possibility of a stable Bose metallic phase on the verge of a Mott transition.

description: In this paper we, first, present a class of charged rotating solutions in four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with zero and Liouville-type potentials. We find that these solutions can present a black hole/string with two regular horizons, an extreme black hole or a naked singularity provided the parameters of the solutions are chosen suitable. We also compute the conserved and thermodynamic quantities, and show that they satisfy the first law of thermodynamics. Second, we obtain the ($n+1$%)-dimensional rotating solutions in Einstein-dilaton gravity with Liouville-type potential. We find that these solutions can present black branes, naked singularities or spacetimes with cosmological horizon if one chooses the parameters of the solutions correctly. Again, we find that the thermodynamic quantities of these solutions satisfy the first law of thermodynamics.

description: We have studied a nearly stoichiometric insulating Y$_{0.97(2)}$Cr$_{0.98(2)}$O$_{3.00(2)}$ single crystal by performing measurements of magnetization, heat capacity, and neutron diffraction. Albeit that the YCrO$_3$ compound behaviors like a soft ferromagnet with a coersive force of $\sim$ 0.05 T, there exist strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions between Cr$^{3+}$ spins due to a strongly negative paramagnetic Curie-Weiss temperature, i.e., -433.2(6) K. The coexistence of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism may indicate a canted AFM structure. The AFM phase transition occurs at $T_\textrm{N} =$ 141.5(1) K, which increases to $T_\textrm{N}$(5T) = 144.5(1) K at 5 T. Within the accuracy of the present neuron-diffraction studies, we determine a G-type AFM structure with a propagation vector \textbf{k} = (1 1 0) and Cr$^{3+}$ spin directions along the crystallographic \emph{c} axis of the orthorhombic structure with space group \emph{Pnma} below $T_\textrm{N}$. At 12 K, the refined moment size is 2.45(6) $μ_\textrm{B}$, $\sim$ 82\% of the theoretical saturation value 3 $μ_\textrm{B}$. The Cr$^{3+}$ spin interactions are probably two-dimensional Ising like within the reciprocal (1 1 0) scattering plane. Below $T_\textrm{N}$, the lattice configuration (\emph{a}, \emph{b}, \emph{c}, and \emph{V}) deviates largely downward from the Gr$\ddot{\textrm{u}}$neisen law, displaying an anisotropic magnetostriction effect and a magnetoelastic effect. Especially, the sample contraction upon cooling is enhanced below the AFM transition temperature. There is evidence to suggest that the actual crystalline symmetry of YCrO$_3$ compound is probably lower than the currently assumed one. Additionally, we compared the $t_{2\textrm{g}}$ YCrO$_3$ and the $e_\textrm{g}$ La$_{7/8}$Sr$_{1/8}$MnO$_3$ single crystals for a further understanding of the reason for the possible symmetry lowering.

description: We use the framework of matrix factorizations to study topological B-type D-branes on the cubic curve. Specifically, we elucidate how the brane RR charges are encoded in the matrix factors, by analyzing their structure in terms of sections of vector bundles in conjunction with equivariant R-symmetry. One particular advantage of matrix factorizations is that explicit moduli dependence is built in, thus giving us full control over the open-string moduli space. It allows one to study phenomena like discontinuous jumps of the cohomology over the moduli space, as well as formation of bound states at threshold. One interesting aspect is that certain gauge symmetries inherent to the matrix formulation lead to a non-trivial global structure of the moduli space. We also investigate topological tachyon condensation, which enables us to construct, in a systematic fashion, higher-dimensional matrix factorizations out of smaller ones; this amounts to obtaining branes with higher RR charges as composites of ones with minimal charges. As an application, we explicitly construct all rank-two matrix factorizations.

description: This first in a series of regional conferences on this subject brought together more than fifty agricultural scientists and policymakers from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and from international agricultural research centers and the Asian Development Bank to discuss how best to promote "sustainable agricultural intensification"—natural resource management that safeguards productivity of the natural resource base while meeting economic growth and poverty alleviation objectives. The regional conference series began in East and Southeast Asia partly because of the area's already broad experience with intensified farming systems on high potential lands alongside shifting cultivation, or upland or hillside cultivation, on more marginal, fragile lands. The group could thus reflect not only on these two contrasting agroecological zones, but on the links between them.

subject: labor substitution effects

description: This paper investigates children’s time allocation to schooling, home production, and market production using a unique data set collected from northern Mali. Production shocks from harvest period pest infestations induce households to withdraw children from school and increase the probability that they are selected into farm work. Health shocks to women increases the probability that a child participates in the family business and childcare activities. These results are robust to varying assumptions about the structure of unobserved heterogeneity at the household and village levels. Different measures of household assets are also constructed to test whether assets serve as a buffer against increased child labor in response to shocks. Assets such as livestock have mixed effects on child labor and schooling, depending on the shock and asset type. However, household durables are substitutes for increased child labor when households face health shocks.

description: We study nonlinear vacuum electrodynamics in the first-order formulation proposed by Plebański. We analyze in detail the equations of motion, and identify conditions for which a singularity can occur for the time derivative of one of the field components. The resulting degenerate behavior can give rise to a shock wave with a reduction of the local number of degrees of freedom. We use an example model to illustrate the occurrence of superluminal propagation for field values approaching the singularity.

description: Flow in thin films is highly dependent on the boundary conditions. Here, we study the capillary levelling of thin bilayer films composed of two immiscible liquids. Specifically, a stepped polymer layer is placed atop another, flat polymer layer. The Laplace pressure gradient resulting from the curvature of the step induces flow in both layers, which dissipates the excess capillary energy stored in the stepped interface. The effect of different viscosity ratios between the bottom and top layers is investigated. We invoke a long-wave expansion of low-Reynolds-number hydrodynamics to model the energy dissipation due to the coupled viscous flows in the two layers. Good agreement is found between the experiments and the model. Analysis of the latter further reveals an interesting double crossover in time, from Poiseuille flow, to plug flow, and finally to Couette flow. The crossover time scales depend on the viscosity ratio between the two liquids, allowing for the dissipation mechanisms to be selected and finely tuned by varying this ratio.
Fractionation of expressed milk for the selective collection of hindmilk by mothers who deliver premature infants
Creators: name: Lalari, Vikki Valjeet
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Adequate weight gain is often difficult to achieve in premature infants due to illness, high energy requirements, and suboptimal intakes. Feeding strategies to enhance the energy and nutrient intake of premature infants fed small volumes are necessary for individualizing nutritional care and promoting optimal growth. One feeding strategy for premature infants fed maternal milk is to fractionate mothers' milk into foremilk (low fat milk) and hindmilk (high fat milk) with the subsequent feeding of the energy dense hindmilk fraction to promote weight gain. Published research on fractionating expressed milk for the selective collection of hindmilk is limited. The purpose of this study was to develop a fractionating protocol for the selective collection of hindmilk produced by mothers of premature infants. The basis of the fractionating protocol was to determine an acceptable method for separating expressed milk into foremilk and hindmilk. Three fractionating methods, based on the visual appearance of the milk, the milk expression time, and the volume of milk expressed, were compared for efficacy (change in fat content and adequacy of hindmilk volume) and practicality (subjective evaluation by mothers). The "Time" method was found to be the most acceptable and practical fractionating method for the selective collection of hindmilk. A regression equation for predicting the fat content of milk from the creamatocrit value (determined by the Creamatocrit Method) was developed using a large number of milk samples (n=155) with varying concentrations of fat. This equation, fat (g/100mL) = [0.572 x (creamatocrit value)] - 0.18, was found to be more suitable for estimating the fat content of milk in the present data set when compared to other published equations. The Crematocrit Method can be a useful clinical tool as part of a fractionating protocol for estimating the fat content of milk. This fractionating protocol is suitable for mothers who produce a sufficient quantity of milk (>125%) relative to their infant's prescribed enteral intake. The fractionating protocol developed in this study is applicable for a clinical or research setting as the basis of a hindmilk feeding strategy to promote weight gain in premature infants.

description: This paper proposes a simple methodology to estimate the agricultural spending that will be required to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty by 2015 (MDG1) in 30 sub-Saharan African countries. This method uses growth-poverty and growth-expenditure elasticities to estimate the financial resources required to meet the MDG1, considering both the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural spending on poverty reduction. The paper attempts to address a key knowledge gap by improving estimation of MDG costs at both the regional and country levels.

description: Biotechnology has had an important impact on the agricultural and food industries over the last twelve years by way of fast and extensive adoption of a few genetically modified (GM) crops. This has produced large efficiency gains, including higher yields and reduced costs of weed and pest control, as well as some environmental benefits. The expected development of crops with additional agronomic traits, and with output traits to improve the nutrition and health attributes of food products, holds the potential for even more pervasive impacts. Full realisation of such promises may require overcoming the constraining effects of restrictive GM product regulations.
Disk galaxy evolution up to redshift z=1

description: We have performed intermediate-resolution VLT/FORS spectroscopy and HST/ACS imaging of 129 field spiral galaxies within the FORS Deep Field. The galaxies cover the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.0 and comprise all types from Sa to Sdm/Im. Spatially resolved rotation curves were extracted and fitted with synthetic velocity fields that take into account all geometric (e.g., inclination and misalignment) and observational effects (in particular, blurring due to optical beam smearing and seeing). Using these fits, the maximum rotation velocity Vmax could be determined for 73 objects. The Tully-Fisher relation of this sample at a mean look-back time of ~5Gyr shows a luminosity evolution which amounts to ~2mag in rest-frame B for low-mass spirals (Vmax~100km/s) but is negligible for high-mass spirals (Vmax~300km/s). This confirms our previous analysis which was limited to ground-based imaging. The observed overluminosity of low-mass galaxies is at variance with predictions from simulations. On the other hand, at given Vmax, we find slightly smaller disk sizes towards higher redshifts, in compliance with the CDM hierarchical model. The observed mass-dependent luminosity evolution might therefore point towards the need for a more realistic modelling of the stellar (i.e. baryonic) component in N-body codes.
