description: Information, or lack thereof, is an important input in value formation and the distribution of contingent values. Although most conceptualizations of the contingent valuation process stress that information provision should be 'adequate,' very little empirical research has been devoted to assessing the effects of different information flows on contingent values and to establishing a standard of information adequacy for contingent valuation studies. The need for such research is particularly cogent for valuing the benefits of reducing environmental risks, a non-market good which is increasingly being valued with the contingent valuation method. Using nitrates in groundwater as a case study, this paper evaluates and compares health risk perceptions and the distribution of contingent values for groundwater protection associated with three different levels of information provision. In the first level, no information about nitrates or personal exposure was provided to the participants, an approach which reflects the philosophy that values should be based on prior information and preferences. The second information level provided participants with general information about the health effects of nitrates, sources of nitrate contamination, government standards for nitrates, indicators of the distribution of nitrate levels in local wells, and opportunities for averting behavior. The third level of information flow provided the general information packet along with specific information about actual nitrate levels found in participants' wells. The primary results of this research are that individuals need afull-information set that includes both general and specific information to identify their own best interests with respect to groundwater protection programs, and that the provision of general information alone appears to lead to biased estimates of willingness to pay for groundwater protection. These results establish a full-information standard for future contingent valuation research of groundwater protection.

description: The recently-introduced concept of "synthetic dimensions" allows for the realization of higher-dimensional topological phenomena in lower-dimensional systems. In this work we study the complementary aspect that synthetic dimensions provide a natural route to topological states in mesoscopic hybrid devices. We demonstrate this for the current induced into a closed one-dimensional Aharonov-Bohm ring by the interaction with a dynamic mesoscopic magnet. The quantization of the magnetic moment provides a synthetic dimension that complements the charge motion around the ring. We present a direct mapping that places the combined ring-magnet system into the class of quantum Hall models, and demonstrate that topological features, combined with the magnet's anisotropy, can lead to clear signatures in the persistent current of the single-particle ground state.

description: Accurate estimation of the run time of computational codes has a number of significant advantages for scientific computing. It is required information for optimal resource allocation, improving turnaround times and utilization of science gateways. Furthermore, it allows users to better plan and schedule their research, streamlining workflows and improving the overall productivity of cyberinfrastructure. Predicting run time is challenging, however. The inputs to scientific codes can be complex and high dimensional. Their relationship to the run time may be highly non-linear, and, in the most general case is completely arbitrary and thus unpredictable (i.e., simply a random mapping from inputs to run time). Most codes are not so arbitrary, however, and there has been significant prior research on predicting the run time of applications and workloads. Such predictions are generally application-specific, however. In this paper, we focus on the Gaussian computational chemistry code. We characterize a data set of runs from the SEAGrid science gateway with a number of different studies. We also explore a number of different potential regression methods and present promising future directions.

description: The notion of gluing of abelian categories was introduced by Kazhdan and Laumon in an attempt of another geometric construction of representations of finite Chevalley groups; the approach was later developed by Polishchuk and Braverman. We observe that this notion of gluing is a particular case of a general categorical construction (used also by Kontsevich and Rosenberg to define "noncommutative schemes"). We prove a conjecture of Kazhdan which says that the D-module counterpart of the Kazhdan-Laumon gluing construction produces a category equivalent to modules over the ring $\mathcal D$ of global differential operators on the basic affine space. As an application we show that $\mathcal D$ is Noetherian, and has finite injective dimension as a module over itself.

Limits on Heavy Neutrino Mixing from the Beta Decay of ³⁸mK Confined in a Magneto-Optical Trap
Creators: name: Trinczek, Michael C.
Publisher: name: TRIUMF
Year: 2019

description: This thesis details the search for mixing between electron neutrinos and possible heavy neutrinos using the positron decay of ³⁸mK produced at ISAC, TRIUMF's new radioactive beam facility. Using the novel technique of laser atom trapping to confine ³⁸mK, direct limits on such mixing in β-decay are determined for the mass range of 0.7 MeV/c² to 3.8 MeV/c². The results, for part of this mass range, provide the best direct limits for the mixing of heavy neutrinos with the electron neutrino in the literature to date. The Standard Model of electroweak physics has been able to describe a wide range of experimental results, but an unresolved question arises in accounting for lepton masses. The charged leptons (electrons, muons and taus) have masses which vary enormously from one to another (me = 0.511 MeV/c², mμ = 106 MeV/c², mτ = 1777 MeV/c²), while their accompanying neutrinos appear to have no (or very little) mass. If neutrinos have finite mass, then mixing could occur among the different neutrino species. Thus, evidence of mixing would indicate the existence of non-zero neutrino mass and of the need to modify or extend the Standard Model. Consequently, this is a highly active field of physics. Evidence of possible neutrino mass and oscillation has been recently observed by the detection of energetic neutrinos from the atmosphere. The TRINAT collaboration at TRIUMF has searched for evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model using a radioactive source of ³⁸mK atoms held in a neutral atom trap. The trap provides a source of several thousand atoms confined to a volume of less than a cubic millimeter, suspended in a vacuum vessel, in which the ³⁸mK undergoes radioactive decay with the emission of a positron and a neutrino. This results in the creation of a daughter nucleus, ³⁸Ar, with momentum equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the positron and the neutrino. The unperturbed nucleus then recoils from the trap and is detected in coincidence with the positron. Through the measurement of the positron's direction and energy along with the nucleus' direction and time of flight, the neutrino momentum is deduced. The emission of a heavy neutrino would change the momentum distribution of the system and thus alter the time of flight of the recoiling nucleus as a function of positron energy. The technique permits the reconstruction of the data event-by-event, which results in an increase in both the mass range and sensitivity of the search for the possible emission of heavy neutrinos. The data were reconstructed for the recoiling nucleus' time of flight and compared to detailed Monte Carlo simulations of the TRINAT detection system. A 2-dimensional maximum likelihood search in recoil time of flight and positron energy was used to place limits on the fraction of decays involving the emission of a heavy neutrino as a function of the mass of that neutrino.

description: We study the visible photon production from the viscous dissipation of the dark matter (DM) fluid. The visible photon production depends on the magnitude of the dark matter viscosity and becomes important at the late times. We argue that for sufficiently large dark matter viscosity, the number of the resonantly converted visible photons becomes large which populates the Rayleigh-Jeans (RJ) tails of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. Consequently, these excess visible photons possibly can explain the reported EDGES anomaly in the 21 cm signal. Further, we explore the parameter space for which the 21 cm signal can provide the region to probe the dark radiation and the DM viscosity.

description: Abstract. Seaweed mari culture of Eucheuma denticulatum (trade name: Eucheuma spinosum) is one of the main commodity from Semau Sub district. East Nusa Tenggara Province. The success of macro algae mari culture, including culture of Eucheuma denticulatum is strongly influenced by the growth rate, which is produced through using of superior strain, and suitable culture methods, and locations. The objectives of the study were to analyse and compare the growth of E. denticulatum farmed using long line and off-bottom methods, as wellas different strain (Brown versus Green). This study was conducted in one of cultivation areas in Semau Sub district, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The planting methods used in this study were the long line and off bottom method, and cultured for four weeks. The data were analized using Absolute and Specific Growth Rate for different strain and method. The results showed that the growth rates of E. denticulatum farmed using long line method was significantly faster and appeared to be better in thallus morphology compared to off-bottom method. Specific Growth Rate (SGR) of E.denticulatum farmed using long line was 9.66% Â± 1.5day-1, while off buttom showed 7.315% Â± 2.4 day-1. In terms of different strains, E. denticulatum brown strain showed better growth rate (8.8%) not significantly compared to the green one (8,6%). Physical and chemical parameters of the waters, included temperature, salinity, transparency and currents showed normal range.

description: In the last years, the \lhcb experiment established itself as an important contributor to heavy ion physics by exploiting some of its specific features. Production of particles, notably heavy flavour states, can be studied in p-p, p-Pb and Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies in the forward rapidity region (pseudorapidity between 2 and 5), providing measurements which are highly complementary to the other LHC experiments. Moreover, owing to its forward geometry, the detector is also well suited to study fixed-target collisions, obtained by impinging the LHC beams on gas targets with different mass numbers. In this configuration, p-A collisions can be studied at the relatively unexplored scale of sqrt(sNN) ~ 100 GeV, also providing valuable inputs to cosmic ray physics. An overview of the measurements obtained so far by the LHCb ion program is presented.

description: This paper presents an evaluation of a farm-business assessment model that uses financial performance measures and tracks ‘wealth change’ to evaluate performance trends over time, and ranks the relative business performance of commercial participants. Its core component involves the use of comparative analysis, which is structured as an introductory rapid-assessment model, together with a ranking system that has been designed to differentiate the relative performance levels of farm businesses. The system has been labelled as the Business Performance Index (BPI) model to reflect its performance-ranking role that explores the relationships, if any, between farmer attitudes and business performance. The BPI model is discussed within the context of the debate as to the role and shortcomings of comparative analysis and benchmarking methods. The data collection method and the analysis have been field tested across 200 farm families throughout Victoria and New South Wales. During the interviews, data were collected from financial statements, supporting documents and farmer comments. The model’s results have been statistically compared to results obtained from two other ‘aggregate score’ methods of assessing business performance.

description: Neutrinoless tau-lepton decays into either three leptons (tau- -> l1- l2 l3) or one lepton and one K0S meson(tau- -> l- K0S) where lepton l means either an electron or muon, have been searched for using 48.6 fb^{-1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. No evidence for candidate decays are found in any channel. Therefore we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fraction for 8 different decay modes. These limits are more stringent than those set previously and reach to the 10^{-7} level.

This free-living species is rare at Brunei (Turak & DeVantier, 2011). It was not recorded during our survey (Table 2), but the photograph taken at Silk Rock (Turak & DeVantier, 2011) and a specimen fragment in the collection of the Brunei Fisheries Department (Fig. 7A, B) leave no doubt about the occurrence of this species at Brunei, which underlines the importance of museum specimens as reference material in biodiversity studies (Hoeksema et al., 2011).

Computing the Mostar index in networks with applications to molecular graphs

description: Recently, a bond-additive topological descriptor, named as the Mostar index, has been introduced as a measure of peripherality in networks. For a connected graph $G$, the Mostar index is defined as $Mo(G) = \sum_{e=uv \in E(G)} |n_u(e) - n_v(e)|$, where for an edge $e=uv$ we denote by $n_u(e)$ the number of vertices of $G$ that are closer to $u$ than to $v$ and by $n_v(e)$ the number of vertices of $G$ that are closer to $v$ than to $u$. In this paper, we generalize the definition of the Mostar index to weighted graphs and prove that the Mostar index of a weighted graph can be computed in terms of Mostar indices of weighted quotient graphs. As a consequence, we show that the Mostar index of a benzenoid system can be computed in sub-linear time with respect to the number of vertices. Finally, our method is applied to some benzenoid systems and to a fullerene patch.
Adiabatic limits of eta and zeta functions of elliptic operators

description: We extend the calculus of adiabatic pseudo-differential operators to study the adiabatic limit behavior of the eta and zeta functions of a differential operator $δ$, constructed from an elliptic family of operators indexed by $S^1$. We show that the regularized values $η(δ_t,0)$ and $tζ(δ_t,0)$ are smooth functions of $t$ at $t=0$, and we identify their values at $t=0$ with the holonomy of the determinant bundle, respectively with a residue trace. For invertible families of operators, the functions $η(δ_t,s)$ and $tζ(δ_t,s)$ are shown to extend smoothly to $t=0$ for all values of $s$. After normalizing with a Gamma factor, the zeta function satisfies in the adiabatic limit an identity reminiscent of the Riemann zeta function, while the eta function converges to the volume of the Bismut-Freed meromorphic family of connection 1-forms.

 A fragmented coral identified as Diaseris distorta, shown in a black and white photograph by Turak & DeVantier (2011), is actually a specimen of C. sinensis. Colour photographs of live specimens taken in Indonesia (Turak & DeVantier, 2011) actually represent C. fragilis, which can be recognised because of its very thin septa (see Hoeksema, 1989).

description: Organic milk production in the European Union (EU) costs more than conventional production and therefore requires a price premium (15-25%) and an increase in direct payments to ensure the same level of profitability. In European comparisons, milk yields per cow are lower (9-30%) and stocking rates are also 20-40% lower due to lower yields in forage production. The International Farm Comparison Network (IFCN 2003), comparison between organic and non-organic farms in the EU calculated 22-37% higher costs of production. Similarly the cost increase measured in California ranged from 13-23% for organic versus conventional milk production. However comparisons between low producing and low cost systems as described by MafPolicy (2002), and for the Argentinean farms compared by IFCN (2003), suggested a minimal increase of 3% in costs. This paper compares the cost of production and profitability of organic and conventional dairy farming over the first three years of a Massey University system comparison trial. The difference between these pastoral farming systems was predicted to be less than that noted in the more intensive EU and US dairy farming systems as minimal changes are required to achieve organic certification. Recognising that the organic farm has only just achieved certification and has not yet reached its steady-state, the results highlight the vulnerability of both pastoral systems to climatic variability and identify the additional risks of organic dairy systems.

description: Rapid dairy industry expansion in the South Island of New Zealand during the 1990’s increased demand for agistment and supplementary feed. Consultants and retailers recognised the ability of whole-crop cereal silage to provide the extra feed required. The local arable industry had declined, creating the opportunity to develop commercial technical support packages from establishment to harvesting for sheep and dairy farmers growing whole-crop cereal silage. Industry technical support packages were supported by ‘just in time’ local research into the growing, making and feeding of whole-crop cereal silage. The package, based on several methods of payment, captured the benefits of new Triticale cultivars. Further investigation into the uptake of whole-crop cereal silage found that the knowledge of whole-crop cereal silage and the interactions between users, growers, technical support agents and agricultural contractors were significant factors in the use of this technology in the South Island of New Zealand.
