description: This study suggests a new single index model (SIM) application procedure which enables users to more easily assess the risk/return tradeoff among crop portfolios. A decision criterion is presented, based on a new crop portfolio performance measure derived here. The new procedure aids in reducing problems of data sensitivity often faced when using quadratic programming or standard SIM techniques.

description: Agriculture department programs in 43 states surveyed offer similar services in regulation, market promotion, and natural resource conservation but are organized differently. Two OLS equations were estimated to explain state agriculture department expenditures as a function of gross farm sales, farm receipts mix, degree of government centralization, the proportion of metropolitan area residents, and tax capacity. A positive relation was found between state agricultural spending and gross farm sales and the percent of fruit/vegetables farm receipts. However, the results cast doubt over the Leviathan thesis of increasing government spending resulting from bureaucratic power.

description: We consider a mixture of fermionic and bosonic atoms nearby interspecies Feshbach resonances, which have been observed recently in $^6$Li-$^{23}$Na mixture by MIT group, and in $^{40}$K-$^{87}$Rb mixture by JILA group. We point out that the fermion-boson bound state, namely the heteronuclear molecules, will coexist with the fermionic atoms in a wide parameter region, and the attraction between fermionic atoms and molecules will lead to the formation of atom-molecule pairs. The pairing structure is studied in detail, and, in particular, we highlight the possible realization of the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in this system.

description: Five varieties viz., Caesar, Aymara, Ivory, Jewel, and Triticaca were in use for the study in Randomized Complete Block Design with five replications. Significant differences among cultivars were noted for all attributes evaluated. Variety ‘Triticaca’ had maximum stalk length and diameter, spathe length and breadth, spadix length, vase life and flowers per plant. Through present analysis it is noticed that, variety ‘Titicaca’ are exceedingly preferred because of its attractive flowers, excellent flower size, yield potentiality and long shelf life.

The simulation follows gravitational and gas dynamics and includes a treatment of physical processes like radiative cooling, star formation and supernova feedback. From the simulation outputs, we produce a set of two-dimensional maps of the intergalactic medium X-ray emission integrated over redshift. We find that the signal in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band is lognormally distributed with a mean intensity of about 4 10^-12 erg s^-1 cm^-2 deg^-2; approximately 40 per cent of the emission originates from warm-hot gas (defined as baryons with 10^5

description: Elegant experiments are being carried out, or are in preparation, to improve the precision with which the solar and atmospheric neutrino-oscillation parameters are known, and to attempt to make a first measurement of the small mixing angle $θ_{13}$. The compelling case for the development of an accelerator-based neutrino source to serve the programme of precision measurements of neutrino oscillations and sensitive searches for leptonic-CP violation that is required to follow these experiments is briefly reviewed. The Neutrino Factory, an intense high-energy neutrino source based on a stored muon beam, is widely believed to yield a precision and sensitivity superior to other proposed second-generation facilities. The alternatives are identified and the case for a critical comparison of the performance of the various options is presented. Highlights of the exciting international R&D programmes which are designed to demonstrate the feasibility of the required techniques are then reviewed. The steps that the international community is taking to produce, by the end of the decade, a full conceptual design for the facility are described. The ambition of the Neutrino Factory community is to demonstrate the feasibility of a cost-effective design such that, should forthcoming measurements show that it is required, the facility could be brought into operation in the second half of the next decade.

description: Considerable controversy exists about which hypotheses and variables best explain mammalian brain size variation. We use a new, high-coverage dataset of marsupial brain and body sizes, and the first phylogenetically imputed full datasets of 16 predictor variables, to model the prevalent hypotheses explaining brain size evolution using phylogenetically corrected Bayesian generalized linear mixed-effects modelling. Despite this comprehensive analysis, litter size emerges as the only significant predictor. Marsupials differ from the more frequently studied placentals in displaying a much lower diversity of reproductive traits, which are known to interact extensively with many behavioural and ecological predictors of brain size. Our results therefore suggest that studies of relative brain size evolution in placental mammals may require targeted co-analysis or adjustment of reproductive parameters like litter size, weaning age or gestation length. This supports suggestions that significant associations between behavioural or ecological variables with relative brain size may be due to a confounding influence of the extensive reproductive diversity of placental mammals.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Requirements engineering plays a critical role in developing software systems. One of the most difficult tasks in this process is identifying functional requirements. A critical problem in many projects is missing requirements until late in the development cycle. In this paper, our core interest is function modeling, which refers to building models of systems based on their functionalities and on the functionalities of their subcomponents. We present a framework as the basis for specifying functional requirements via a modeling language that produces a high-level diagrammatic representation. The aim is to deliver an overall system description, facilitate communication and understanding, construct a holistic view of the system above the domains of different expertise, and lay the foundation for the design phase. We analyze the notion of function and its elementary types and apply examples of natural language description and scenarios. The results reveal a new method that lays a foundation for works on functionality and viable methodology for capturing its requirements.

description: We investigate the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), relative cooling power (RCP) and crystalline structure in Sb substituted CrTe_{1-x}Sb_{x} (0 \leq x \leq 0.2) alloy. The Rietveld refinement of the XRD pattern of CrTe1-xSbx showed the emerging of pure hexagonal NiAs structure with P63/mmc (194) space group with increasing Sb substitution. We detect a slight increase in the basal plane a-lattice parameter, with a much larger reduction in the c-axis. Magnetic isotherms were measured in the temperature range of 50-400K. The results revealed an increase in the maximum entropy change |S_{M}(T,H)| with Sb-substitutions in the temperature range (~285-325K). Moreover, The RCP values increased by about 33% with 20% Sb substitutions. These findings suggest that CrTe_{1-x}Sb_{x} alloys can be used in room temperature magnetic cooling at fraction of the coast of pure Gd element the porotype magnetic material for magnetic refrigeration.

description: A maximum profit linear programming feedlot model is presented to determine if diet combinations of moderate amounts of hay and grain are economically optimal when time (length of the feeding period), form of hay (long versus cubed alfalfa), and carcass quality are considered. While the experiment did not include concentrate-to-hay ratios as high as commercial feedlot use, the results show that highest concentrate diets are economical in all stages of the finishing program, except that when time and carcass grade effects are considered and hay-to-concentrate price ratios are at historical lows, a switch is made for the last 90 kg of grain to diets somewhat above 50% hay.
Probability Densities in Strong Turbulence

description: According to modern developments in turbulence theory, the "dissipation" scales (u.v. cut-offs) $η$ form a random field related to velocity increments $δ_ηu$. In this work we, using Mellin's transform combined with the Gaussain large -scale boundary condition, calculate probability densities (PDFs) of velocity increments $P(δ_{r}u,r)$ and the PDF of the dissipation scales $Q(η, Re)$, where $Re$ is the large-scale Reynolds number. The resulting expressions strongly deviate from the Log-normal PDF $P_{L}(δ_{r}u,r)$ often quoted in the literature. It is shown that the probability density of the small-scale velocity fluctuations includes information about the large (integral) scale dynamics which is responsible for deviation of $P(δ_{r}u,r)$ from $P_{L}(δ_{r}u,r)$. A framework for evaluation of the PDFs of various turbulence characteristics involving spatial derivatives is developed. The exact relation, free of spurious Logarithms recently discussed in Frisch et al (J. Fluid Mech. {\bf 542}, 97 (2005)), for the multifractal probability density of velocity increments, not based on the steepest descent evaluation of the integrals is obtained and the calculated function $D(h)$ is close to experimental data. A novel derivation (Polyakov, 2005), of a well-known result of the multi-fractal theory [Frisch, "Turbulence. {\it Legacy of A.N.Kolmogorov}", Cambridge University Press, 1995)), based on the concepts described in this paper, is also presented.

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The aim of this paper is to develop and analyze numerical schemes for approximately solving the backward problem of subdiffusion equation involving a fractional derivative in time with order $α\in(0,1)$. After using quasi-boundary value method to regularize the "mildly" ill-posed problem, we propose a fully discrete scheme by applying finite element method (FEM) in space and convolution quadrature (CQ) in time. We provide a thorough error analysis of the resulting discrete system in both cases of smooth and nonsmooth data. The analysis relies heavily on smoothing properties of (discrete) solution operators, and nonstandard error estimate for the direct problem in terms of problem data regularity. The theoretical results are useful to balance discretization parameters, regularization parameter and noise level. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

description: Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is a ubiquitous in situ molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) characterization tool. Although RHEED can be a powerful means for crystal surface structure determination, it is often used as a static qualitative surface characterization method at discrete intervals during a growth. A full analysis of RHEED data collected during the entirety of MBE growths is made possible using principle component analysis (PCA) and k-means clustering to examine significant boundaries that occur in the temporal clusters grouped from RHEED data and identify statistically significant patterns. This process is applied to data from homoepitaxial SrTiO$_{3}$ growths, heteroepitaxial SrTiO$_{3}$ grown on scandate substrates, BaSnO$_{3}$ films grown on SrTiO$_{3}$ substrates, and LaNiO$_{3}$ films grown on LaAlO$_{3}$ substrates. This analysis may provide additional insights into the surface evolution and transitions in growth modes at precise times and depths during growth, and that video archival of an entire RHEED image sequence may be able to provide more insight and control over growth processes and film quality.

Potential deleterious effect of [Beta]-adrenergic stimulation during warm-blood cardioplegia in rabbit hearts
Creators: name: Cook, Richard Chung-Sop
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We hypothesized that β-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol during continuous normothermic cardioplegic arrest would enhance the regenerative and regulatory function of the myocardium, resulting in improved cardiac function. We studied isolated rabbit hearts paced at ~200 beats/minute and cross-circulated by a support rabbit. We measured ventricular pressure over a range of ventricular volumes to determine maximal elastance at baseline and 20 and 45 minutes after discontinuation of cardioplegia. Myocardial oxygen consumption measurements were performed simultaneously and during cardioplegic arrest. Hearts were prospectively randomized to receive either isoproterenol 0.1M or control in blinded fashion for 10 minutes during a 1 hour continuous warm blood cardioplegic arrest. Compared to control hearts, isoproterenol-treated hearts had trends towards longer time to first spontaneous heart-beat (control 141 ± 43 vs isoproterenol 200 ± 74 seconds, p = 0.07), and longer time to capture of atrial pacing (control 214 ± 52 vs isoproterenol 288 ± 91 seconds, p = 0.06). There was no difference observed in the myocardial oxygen consumption between isoproterenol-treated and control groups of hearts. Myocardial oxygen consumption decreased during administration of cardioplegia (p<0.01) but there was no significant change in myocardial oxygen consumption during isoproterenol infusion during cardioplegic arrest. There was a significant reduction in maximal elastance compared to baseline 20 minutes after discontinuation of cardioplegic arrest in both groups (control 7.3 ± 1.7 mmHg/μL vs 9.0 ± 1.7 irimHg/μL, p = 0.02, isoproterenol-treated 6.8 ± 2.8 mmHg/μL vs 8.2 ± 2.6 mmHg/μL, p = 0.01, respectively) with recovery of maximal elastance by 45 minutes in control hearts only. We conclude that exposure of hearts to isoproterenol during warm cardioplegic arrest has a deleterious effect which may be mediated through mechanisms independent of increased myocardial oxygen consumption.

description: Let an EPR source which generates maximally entangled pairs be located so that it has distances $L_1$ and $L_2$ to two users. After taking into account various effects like loss of photons, deficiencies in the source and detectors, an entangled pair traveling through the channel may loose its perfect correlation due to errors in the channel. How the entanglement of the received pair depends on the above distances and the local properties of the channels used for this transmission? What is the best location of the source if we want to achieve the highest fidelity? What is the threshold distance beyond which the entanglement of the pair vanishes and becomes useless for using in teleportation. We discuss these problems for the Pauli channel which simulates the effect of optical fibers and possibly the atmosphere on the polarization-entangled photons.

description: We present a multijunction detailed balance model that includes the effects of luminescent coupling, light trapping and nonradiative recombination, suitable for treatment of multijunction solar cells and photonic power converters -- photovoltaic devices designed to convert narrow-band light. The model includes both specular and Lambertian reflections using a ray-optic formalism and treats nonradiative processes using an internal radiative efficiency. Using this model, we calculate and optimize the efficiency of multijunction photonic power converters for a range of material qualities and light-trapping schemes. Multijunction devices allow increased voltage with lower current, decreasing series resistance losses. We show that efficiency increases significantly with increased number of junctions, even without series resistance, when the device has an absorbing substrate. Such an increase does not occur when the device has a back reflector. We explain this effect using a simplified model, which illustrates the origin of the decreased radiative losses in multijunction devices on substrates.

description: Image segmentation is the initial step for every image analysis task. A large variety of segmentation algorithm has been proposed in the literature during several decades with some mixed success. Among them, the fuzzy energy based active contour models get attention to the researchers during last decade which results in development of various methods. A good segmentation algorithm should perform well in a large number of images containing noise, blur, low contrast, region in-homogeneity, etc. However, the performances of the most of the existing fuzzy energy based active contour models have been evaluated typically on the limited number of images. In this article, our aim is to review the existing fuzzy active contour models from the theoretical point of view and also evaluate them experimentally on a large set of images under the various conditions. The analysis under a large variety of images provides objective insight into the strengths and weaknesses of various fuzzy active contour models. Finally, we discuss several issues and future research direction on this particular topic.

description: Behavioural responses to communicative signals combine input from multiple sensory modalities and signal compensation theory predicts that evolutionary shifts in one sensory modality could impact response to signals in other sensory modalities. Here, we conducted two types of field experiments with 11 species spread across the lizard genus Sceloporus to test the hypothesis that the loss of visual signal elements affects behavioural responses to a chemical signal (conspecific scents) or to a predominantly visual signal (a conspecific lizard), both of which are used in intraspecific communication. We found that three species that have independently lost a visual signal trait, a colourful belly patch, responded to conspecific scents with increased chemosensory behaviour compared to a chemical control, while species with the belly patch did not. However, most species, with and without the belly patch, responded to live conspecifics with increased visual displays of similar magnitude. While aggressive responses to visual stimuli are taxonomically widespread in Sceloporus, our results suggest that increased chemosensory response behaviour is linked to colour patch loss. Thus, interactions across sensory modalities could constrain the evolution of complex signalling phenotypes, thereby influencing signal diversity.
Consumer behavioral changes in internet banking

description: This paper investigates how bank customers behave differently when using Internet banking. It also explores how these behavioral changes affect banks as well as the future development of Internet banking. The study utilized the Delphi technique, a structured communication process that aids a panel of experts in the investigation of a problem. Twelve managers from three banks participated in this three-phase study. In phase one, these experts were asked to identify potential behavioral changes and predict the probable impact of these changes on banks. In phase two, they were asked to comment on each behavioral change and the related impact, and to rate each item on a seven-point scale. For phase three, the comment and the average score, for each behavioral change, were presented to the panelists, and they were asked to rate the behavioral changes again. In the study, nine behavioral changes of Internet customers were found to be significant. They include: (1) familiarity with bank products and services (2) high expectation in services (3) self-service attitude (4) a reluctance to provide personal information (5) a tendency to use banks for various services (6) the requiring of sophisticated coordination among multiple accounts (7) responding less frequently to on-line advertising (8) open to new products and services (9) frequent usage of banking services. Banks could expect to be impacted by these behavioral changes in a number of ways. For example, banks would have to service customers through multiple channels. Customization of services would become increasingly important. In addition, banks would also have to design creative ways to promote services.

description: The main challenges in achieving high-fidelity quantum gates are to reduce the influence of control errors caused by imperfect Hamiltonians and the influence of decoherence caused by environment noise. To overcome control errors, a promising proposal is nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation, which has attracted much attention in both theories and experiments. While the merit of holonomic operations resisting control errors has been well exploited, an important issue following is how to shorten the evolution time needed for realizing a holonomic gate so as to avoid the influence of environment noise as much as possible. In this paper, we put forward a general approach of constructing Hamiltonians for nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation, which makes it possible to minimize the evolution time and might open a new horizon for the realistic implementation of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation.

description: We consider the weak lensing effect induced by linear cosmological perturbations on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization anisotropies. We find that the amplitude of the lensing peak in the BB mode power spectrum is a faithful tracer of the dark energy dynamics at the onset of cosmic acceleration. This is due to two reasons. First, the lensing power is non-zero only at intermediate redshifts between the observer and the source, keeping record of the linear perturbation growth rate at the corresponding epoch. Second, the BB lensing signal is expected to dominate over the other sources. The lensing distortion on the TT and EE spectra do exhibit a similar dependence on the dark energy dynamics, although those are dominated by primary anisotropies. We investigate and quantify the effect by means of exact tracking quintessence models, as well as parameterizing the dark energy equation of state in terms of the present value ($w_{0}$) and its asymptotic value in the past ($w_{\infty}$); in the interval allowed by the present constraints on dark energy, the variation of $w_{\infty}$ induces a significant change in the BB mode lensing amplitude. A Fisher matrix analysis, under conservative assumptions concerning the increase of the sample variance due to the lensing non-Gaussian statistics, shows that a precision of order 10% on both $w_{0}$ and $w_{\infty}$ is achievable by the future experiments probing a large sky area with angular resolution and sensitivity appropriate to detect the lensing effect on the CMB angular power spectrum. These results show that the CMB can probe the differential redshift behavior of the dark energy equation of state, beyond its average.

description: In this research work, we have proposed an algorithm based on supervised learning methodology to extract the root forms of the Bengali verbs using the grammatical rules proposed by Panini [1] in Ashtadhyayi. This methodology can be applied for the languages which are derived from Sanskrit. The proposed system has been developed based on tense, person and morphological inflections of the verbs to find their root forms. The work has been executed in two phases: first, the surface level forms or inflected forms of the verbs have been classified into a certain number of groups of similar tense and person. For this task, a standard pattern, available in Bengali language has been used. Next, a set of rules have been applied to extract the root form from the surface level forms of a verb. The system has been tested on 10000 verbs collected from the Bengali text corpus developed in the TDIL project of the Govt. of India. The accuracy of the output has been achieved 98% which is verified by a linguistic expert. Root verb identification is a key step in semantic searching, multi-sentence search query processing, understanding the meaning of a language, disambiguation of word sense, classification of the sentences etc.

description: Based on various case studies, this article examines the interaction of foreign investors and local operators in globalization in the agro-food market in China. The study found that to break the limitation of the high-end market and to position mainly in the middle market were critical for international brands to succeed. Asian companies approached the China market as an insider because of cultural proximity. The latter, plus focused management and effective technology, made their operations profitable easily, but also exposed them to the risk of overexpansion. Quality products at affordable prices were the catch-up approach adopted by local players. At the early stage of globalization, winning tactics for local enterprises include imitating and participating in foreign investments, and exploring the markets where foreign investors have no advantages. In the China market, foreign and domestic enterprises were competing, complementing, and collaborating with each other to allow each to achieve its goals. The study analyzes the sophisticated relationships between domestic and foreign players, and provides inputs to strategic discussions of foreign investors and Chinese local enterprises about how to improve their competitive positions.

description: Observations suggest that nearly seventy per cent of the energy density in the universe is unclustered and exerts negative pressure. Theoretical understanding of this component (`dark energy'), which is driving an accelerated expansion of the universe, is {\it the} problem in cosmology today. I discuss this issue with special emphasis on the cosmological constant as the possible choice for the dark energy. Several curious features of a universe with a cosmological constant are described and some possible approaches to understand the nature of the cosmological constant are discussed.

description: Foundation species interact strongly with other species to profoundly influence communities, such as by providing food, refuge from predators or beneficial microclimates. We tested relative support for these mechanisms using spinifex grass (Triodia spp.), which is a foundation species of arid Australia that provides habitat for diverse lizard communities. We first compared the attributes of live and dead spinifex, bare ground and a structurally similar plant (Lomandra effusa) and then tested the relative strength of association of two spinifex specialist lizard species (Ctenophorus spinodomus and Ctenotus atlas) with spinifex using a mesocosm experiment. Temperatures were coolest within spinifex compared to bare ground and Lomandra. Invertebrate abundance and the threat of predation were indistinguishable between treatments, suggesting temperature attenuation may be a more important driver. Overall, the dragon C. spinodomus preferred live over dead spinifex, while the skink C. atlas preferred dead spinifex, particularly at warmer air temperatures. However, both species displayed individual variability in their use of available microhabitats, with some individuals rarely using spinifex. Our results provide an example of temperature attenuation by a foundation species driving niche use by ectothermic animals.

description: The origin of the microscopic motions that lead to stress relaxation in deeply supercooled liquid remains unclear. We show that in such a liquid the stress relaxation is locally anisotropic which can serve as the driving force for the hopping of the system on its free energy surface. However, not all hopping are equally effective in relaxing the local stress, suggesting that diffusion can decouple from viscosity even at local level. On the other hand, orientational relaxation is found to be always coupled to stress relaxation.
