description: This paper analyzes how the implementation of a food safety standard affects firms' strategic behaviour within the context of a food chain. We provide a formal analysis, which considers that the sanitary risk results from a strong heterogeneity of upstream production conditions and the final demand depends on consumers' risk estimations (given that consumers may underestimate or, conversely, overestimate the sanitary risk). We show how downstream (processing or retailing) firms may be prompted to play a positive role with respect to food safety, either by selecting only the safest upstream producers or by encouraging the improvement of suppliers' production conditions. When the degree of consumers' risk misperception is relatively low, then a downstream firm may adopt the latter strategy and increase the marketed quantities as the food safety standard is improved. However, we show that the actual contamination risk is not necessarily decreasing in the level of the food safety standard.

description: This paper presents a novel {\em Interpolated Factored Green Function} method (IFGF) for the accelerated evaluation of the integral operators in scattering theory and other areas. Like existing acceleration methods in these fields, the IFGF algorithm evaluates the action of Green function-based integral operators at a cost of $\mathcal{O}(N\log N)$ operations for an $N$-point surface mesh. The IFGF strategy, which leads to an extremely simple algorithm, capitalizes on slow variations inherent in a certain Green function {\em analytic factor}, which is analytic up to and including infinity, and which therefore allows for accelerated evaluation of fields produced by groups of sources on the basis of a recursive application of classical interpolation methods. Unlike other approaches, the IFGF method does not utilize the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and is thus better suited than other methods for efficient parallelization in distributed-memory computer systems. Only a serial implementation of the algorithm is considered in this paper, however, whose efficiency in terms of memory and speed is illustrated by means of a variety of numerical experiments -- including a 43 min., single-core operator evaluation (on 10 GB of peak memory), with a relative error of $1.5\times 10^{-2}$, for a problem of acoustic size of 512$λ$.

Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: The increasing importance of food quality and food safety has led to an increased consumer concern for certified quality products. However, the market share of certified quality products still remains very small. The aspect of "quality" has also been accepted as an important ingredient of marketing that offers producers a great opportunity to differentiate themselves in the market and add value to their products (Jervell and Borgen, 2004). In the case of agricultural products producers may view a quality certification (either it is a certification of traceability or a quality label) as a tool that protects them in an environment of distrust and as a promotion strategy that will add value to their products and justify higher prices for them. However, in order for value-added markets to be successful an effective communication must be promoted. This means, that consumers must be aware of the existence and meaning of these commodities and also have a favorable attitude towards them. In addition, consumers must be willing to pay an extra amount of money for such products. It is therefore, of major importance to better communicate with the consumers and gain a better understanding of their attitudes, needs and perceptions (Preston and McGuirk, 1990; Kuznesof et al., 1997; Walley et al., 1999; Van Ittersum et al., 2000; Grunert, 2002; McEachern and Willock, 2004). The aim of this paper is to examine consumer attitudes and behaviour towards two different quality foods: the organic and the traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG) products. A survey of Greek consumers was carried out to examine perceptions of food quality, level of awareness and attitudes towards food certification. Furthermore, an attempt is made to compare the socioeconomic characteristics and attitudes that affect consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for these two different food products. Data were collected in February 2006, using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. The survey took place in the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki (northern Greece) and only those consumers who were responsible for purchasing their household's food were interviewed. In total, 414 valid questionnaires were used in the analysis. Results indicate the high level of consumer awareness and knowledge about organic and TSG products. The majority of consumers are buyers of organic and of TSG products (55 per cent and 67 per cent respectively). Sociodemographic factors (gender, age) are positively associated to consumers' willingness to pay a premium for organic products, whereas nutrition and freshness positively affect consumers' willingness to pay for TSG products. The findings are considered to be useful to food policy makers and marketing practitioners, since effective methods of marketing would increase the demand of the studied products

description: The early Universe may have passed through an extended period of matter-dominated expansion following inflation and prior to the onset of radiation domination. Sub-horizon density perturbations grow gravitationally during such an epoch, collapsing into bound structures if it lasts long enough. The strong analogy between this phase and structure formation in the present-day universe allows the use of N-body simulations and approximate methods for halo formation to model the fragmentation of the inflaton condensate into inflaton halos. For a simple model we find these halos have masses of up to $20\,\mathrm{kg}$ and radii of the order of $10^{-20}\,\mathrm{m}$, roughly $10^{-24}$ seconds after the Big Bang. We find that the N-body halo mass function matches predictions of the mass-Peak Patch method and the Press-Schechter formalism within the expected range of scales. A long matter-dominated phase would imply that reheating and thermalization occurs in a universe with large variations in density, potentially modifying the dynamics of this process. In addition, large overdensities can source gravitational waves and may lead to the formation of primordial black holes.

description: The quantum interference effects due to the Aharonov-Bohm-type phase factors are studied in the layered $t-t'-t_\perp-U-J$ strongly correlated system relevant for cuprates. Casting Coulomb interaction in terms of composite-fermions via the flux attachment facility, we argue that U(1) compact group instanton events labeled by a topological winding number are essential configurations of the phase field dual to the charge. The impact of these topological excitations is calculated for the phase diagram, which displays the "hidden" quantum critical point.

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the roles Geographical Indications (PDO and PGI) can play in the internationalisation process of some small-medium scale agri - food products from Tuscany (Italy). The analysis of the selected case studies highlighted among the driving motivations of firms for the use of PDO/PGIs on international markets both defensive roles (in particular for the function of defending from abuses in using geographical name), and offending roles against competitors (as in the case of product differentiation or exclusive right of benefiting from the reputation of origin). Besides, there is also a strictly commercial role in terms of giving an answer to the explicit request of certifications from customers. PDOs and PGIs can represent an internationalisation tool, although their effectiveness depends on several factors that rely on the characteristics of the product, of the production system (rate of fragmentation, organisation, role of collective organisations ) and of the firms in particular, as well as on the characteristics of the destination market.

description: The study of asteroid families has provided tremendous insight into the forces that sculpted the main belt and continue to drive the collisional and dynamical evolution of asteroids. The identification of asteroid families within the NEO population could provide a similar boon to studies of their formation and interiors. In this study we examine the purported identification of NEO families by Drummond (2000) and conclude that it is unlikely that they are anything more than random fluctuations in the distribution of NEO osculating orbital elements. We arrive at this conclusion after examining the expected formation rate of NEO families, the identification of NEO groups in synthetic populations that contain no genetically related NEOs, the orbital evolution of the largest association identified by Drummond (2000), and the decoherence of synthetic NEO families intended to reproduce the observed members of the same association. These studies allowed us to identify a new criterion that can be used to select real NEO families for further study in future analyses, based on the ratio of the number of pairs and the size of strings to the number of objects in an identified association.

description: In this brief report, we propose a network model named crossed double cycles, which are completely symmetrical and can be considered as the extensions of nearest-neighboring lattices. The synchronizability, measured by eigenratio $R$, can be sharply enhanced by adjusting the only parameter, crossed length $m$. The eigenratio $R$ is shown very sensitive to the average distance $L$, and the smaller average distance will lead to better synchronizability. Furthermore, we find that, in a wide interval, the eigenratio $R$ approximately obeys a power-law form as $R\sim L^{1.5}$.

description: High-velocity microparticle impacts are relevant to many fields from space exploration to additive manufacturing and can be used to help understand the physical and chemical behaviors of materials under extreme dynamic conditions. Recent advances in experimental techniques for single microparticle impacts have allowed fundamental investigations of dynamical responses of wide-ranging samples including soft materials, nano-composites, and metals, under strain rates up to 108 s-1. Here we review experimental methods for high-velocity impacts spanning 15 orders of magnitude in projectile mass and compare method performances. This review aims to present a comprehensive overview of high-velocity microparticle impact techniques to provide a reference for researchers in different materials testing fields and facilitate experimental design in dynamic testing for a wide range of impactor sizes, geometries, and velocities. Next, we review recent studies using the laser-induced particle impact test platform comprising target, projectile, and synergistic target-particle impact response, hence demonstrating the versatility of the method with applications in impact protection and additive manufacturing. We conclude by presenting the future perspectives in the field of high-velocity impact.
Illustrating the utility of gap analysis as a regional tourism planning tool : case study of potential Japanese and German travellers to the Cowichan region
Creators: name: Murphy, Ann Elaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Rural regions need tools for developing effective tourism and community plans. This thesis explores the potential for a simplified gap analysis to serve as a useful tourism planning tool for rural regions with limited resources. The Cowichan Region in British Columbia, Canada is the case study for this research, as it is seen to be representative of many rural areas endeavoring to diversify their waning economies with tourism. The literature review for this thesis reviews rural challenges facing ruraf areas, rural tourism impacts, rural tourism markets and gap analysis. A simplified gap analysis compares the preferences of customers (tourists) and the perceptions that the service providers (host regions) have of these customers. Minimal differences between these groups' perceptions creates quality experiences for the customers and service providers and leads to increased profits. This thesis examines the 'gaps' between potential Japanese and German rural travelers' preferences and the perceptions that Cowichan Region professionals have of these markets. Data on the preferences of these markets is drawn from research on Japanese and German pleasure travel markets to North America conducted by national tourism associations. Data on host region perceptions of these markets is drawn from questionnaire responses and interviews conducted with tourism and planning professional in the Cowichan Region. There are some notable gaps between the characteristics of potential Japanese and German 'rural' travellers and the perceptions that the Cowichan Region professionals have of these groups. However, overall these groups are well matched as potential rural travellers and host communities. These research findings suggest that rural areas can satisfy most of the needs of 'mass' and 'target' market travellers by developing core tourism products with some specialised products for sub-markets. This research indicates that a simplified gap analysis can be a practical and useful rural planning tool for rural regions that want to diversify their resource based economies with tourism. A ten step tourism planning strategy is presented as a way for rural areas to integrate a simplified gap analysis into their planning efforts and create cost-effective and holistic tourism plans.

description: Tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) effect, discovered recently in (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductors, arises from spin-orbit coupling and reflects the dependence of the tunneling density of states in a ferromagnetic layer on orientation of the magnetic moment. Based on ab initio relativistic calculations of the anisotropy in the density of states we predict sizable TAMR effects in room-temperature metallic ferromagnets. This opens prospect for new spintronic devices with a simpler geometry as these do not require antiferromagnetically coupled contacts on either side of the tunnel junction. We focus on several model systems ranging from simple hcp-Co to more complex ferromagnetic structures with enhanced spin-orbit coupling, namely bulk and thin film L1$_0$-CoPt ordered alloys and a monatomic-Co chain at a Pt surface step edge. Reliability of the predicted density of states anisotropies is confirmed by comparing quantitatively our ab initio results for the magnetocrystalline anisotropies in these systems with experimental data.

description: Unlike conformal boundary conditions, conformal defects of Virasoro minimal models lack classification. Alternatively to the defect perturbation theory and the truncated conformal space approach, we employ open string field theory (OSFT) techniques to explore the space of conformal defects. We illustrate the method by an analysis of OSFT around the background associated to the $(1,2)$ topological defect in diagonal unitary minimal models. Numerical analysis of OSFT equations of motion leads to an identification of a nice family of solutions, recovering the picture of infrared fixed points due to Kormos, Runkel and Watts. In particular, we find a continuum of solutions in the Ising model case and 6 solutions for other minimal models. OSFT provides us with numerical estimates of the g-function and other coefficients of the boundary state.

Mid-Infrared Emission from Elliptical Galaxies: Sensitivity to Stellar Age

description: Mid-infrared observations (3.6 - 24 microns) of normal giant elliptical galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope are consistent with pure populations of very old stars with no evidence of younger stars. Most of the stars in giant elliptical galaxies are old but the mean stellar age determined from Balmer absorption in optical spectra can appear much younger due to a small admixture of younger stars. The mean stellar age can also be determined from the spectral energy distribution in the mid-infrared which decreases with time relative to the optical emission and shifts to shorter wavelengths. The observed flux ratios F_8um/F_3.6um and F_24um/F_3.6um for elliptical galaxies with the oldest Balmer line ages are lower than predicted by recent models of single stellar populations. For ellipticals with the youngest Balmer line ages in our sample, 3-5 Gyrs, the flux ratios F_24um/F_3.6um are identical to those of the oldest stars. When theoretical mid-IR spectra of old (12 Gyr) and young stellar populations are combined, errors in the F_24um/F_3.6um observations are formally inconsistent with a mass fraction of young stars that exceeds ~1%. This is less than the fraction of young stars expected in discussions of recent surveys of elliptical galaxies at higher redshifts. However, this inconsistancy between Balmer line ages and those inferred from mid-IR observations must be regarded as provisional until more accurate observations and theoretical spectra become available. Finally, there is no evidence to date that central disks or patches of dust commonly visible in optical images of elliptical galaxies contribute sensibly to the mid-IR spectrum.

description: A recently developed technique for measuring the isothermal magnetocaloric coefficient ($M_T$) is applied to the study of a superconducting NdBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ single crystal. Results are compared with magnetization ($M$) and specific heat ($C$). In the reversible region both $C$ and $M_T$ follow the scaling law of the 3D-xy universality class. The anomalies connected with flux-line lattice melting are visible on $M_T(B)$ curves as peaks and steps, similar to $C(T)$ curves yet with much smaller background. At lower temperature, in the irreversible region the $M_T(B)$ behaviour resembles more that of $M(B)$, exhibiting the "fishtail" effect. Our results confirm that the peculiarities of the phase diagram known from the high temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$, e.g. vortex melting, dominance of critical fluctuations and absence of a $B_{c2}$ critical field line, are a common property of RE-123 systems.

Three-terminal nonlocal conductance in Majorana nanowires: Distinguishing topological and trivial in realistic systems with disorder and inhomogeneous potential

description: We develop a theory for the three-terminal nonlocal conductance in Majorana nanowires as existing in the superconductor-semiconductor hybrid structures in the presence of superconducting proximity, spin-orbit coupling, and Zeeman splitting. The key question addressed is whether such nonlocal conductance can decisively distinguish between trivial and topological Majorana scenarios in the presence of chemical potential inhomogeneity and random impurity disorder. We calculate the local electrical as well as nonlocal electrical and thermal conductance of the pristine nanowire (good zero-bias conductance peaks), the nanowire in the presence of quantum dots and inhomogeneous potential (bad zero-bias conductance peaks), and the nanowire in the presence of large disorder (ugly zero-bias conductance peaks). The local conductance by itself is incapable of distinguishing the trivial states from the topological states since zero-bias conductance peaks are generic in the presence of disorder and inhomogeneous potential. The nonlocal conductance, which in principle is capable of providing the bulk gap closing and reopening information at the topological quantum phase transition, is found to be far too weak in magnitude to be particularly useful in the presence of disorder and inhomogeneous potential. Therefore, we focus on the question of whether the combination of the local, nonlocal electrical, and thermal conductance can separate the good, bad, and ugly zero-bias conductance peaks in finite-length wires. Our paper aims to provide a guide to future experiments, and we conclude that a combination of all three measurements would be necessary for a decisive demonstration of topological Majorana zero modes in nanowires -- positive signals corresponding to just one kind of measurements are likely to be false positives arising from disorder and inhomogeneous potential.

description: We present in detail two resummation methods emerging from the application of the Simplified Differential Equations approach to a canonical basis of master integrals. The first one is a method which allows for an easy determination of the boundary conditions, since it finds relations between the boundaries of the basis elements and the second one indicates how using the $x \rightarrow 1$ limit to the solutions of a canonical basis, one can obtain the solutions to a canonical basis for the same problem with one mass less. Both methods utilise the residue matrices for the letters $\{0,1\}$ of the canonical differential equation. As proof of concept, we apply these methods to a canonical basis for the three-loop ladder-box with one external mass off-shell, obtaining subsequently a canonical basis for the massless three-loop ladder-box as well as its solution.

description: Correlation between dielectric and magnetic properties was investigated on the triangular lattice antiferromagnets ACrO2 (A= Cu, Ag, Li, or Na) showing 120-degree spiral spin structure with easy-axis anisotropy. For the A= Cu and Ag compounds with delafossite structure, ferroelectric polarization emerges upon the spiral spin order, implying the strong coupling between the ferroelectricity and spiral spin structure. On the other hand, for the A = Li and Na compounds with ordered rock salt structure, no polarization but only clear anomalies in dielectric constant can be observed upon the spiral spin order. The absence of polarization can be interpreted as the antiferroelectric state induced by the alternate stacking of Cr3+ layer with opposite spin vector chirality. These results imply that a vast range of trigonally stacked triangular-lattice systems with 120-degree spin structure can be multiferroic, irrespective of their magnetic anisotropy.

description: Bose-Bose droplets are self-bound objects emerging from a mixture of two interacting Bose-Einstein condensates when their interactions are appropriately tuned. During droplet formation three continuous symmetries of the system's Hamiltonian are broken: translational symmetry and two U1 symmetries, allowing for arbitrary choice of phases of the mean-field wavefunctions describing the two components. Breaking of these symmetries must be accompanied by appearance of zero-energy excitations in the energy spectrum of the system recovering the broken symmetries. Normal modes corresponding to these excitations are the zero-energy modes. Here we find analytic expressions for these modes and introduce Hamitonians generating their time evolution -- dynamics of the droplet's centers of mass as well as dynamics of the phases of the two droplet's wavefunctions. When internal types of excitations (quasiparticles) are neglected then the very complex system of a quantum droplet is described using only few "global" degrees of freedom - the position of the center of mass of the droplet and two phases of two wave-functions, all these being quantum operators. This gives the possibility of describing in a relatively easy way processes of interaction of these quantum droplets, such as collisions.

description: In the current work an equation of state model with a first-order phase transition for astrophysical applications is presented. The model is based on a two-phase approach for quark-hadron phase transitions, which leads by construction to a first-order phase transition. The resulting model has already been successfully used in several astrophysical applications, such as cold neutron stars, core-collapse supernova explosions and binary neutron star mergers. Main goal of this work is to present the details of the model, discuss certain features and eventually publish it in a tabulated form for further use.

description: We demonstrate that the entropy of entanglement and the distillable entanglement of regions with respect to the rest of a general harmonic lattice system in the ground or a thermal state scale at most as the boundary area of the region. This area law is rigorously proven to hold true in non-critical harmonic lattice system of arbitrary spatial dimension, for general finite-ranged harmonic interactions, regions of arbitrary shape and states of nonzero temperature. For nearest-neighbor interactions - corresponding to the Klein-Gordon case - upper and lower bounds to the degree of entanglement can be stated explicitly for arbitrarily shaped regions, generalizing the findings of [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 060503 (2005)]. These higher dimensional analogues of the analysis of block entropies in the one-dimensional case show that under general conditions, one can expect an area law for the entanglement in non-critical harmonic many-body systems. The proofs make use of methods from entanglement theory, as well as of results on matrix functions of block banded matrices. Disordered systems are also considered. We moreover construct a class of examples for which the two-point correlation length diverges, yet still an area law can be proven to hold. We finally consider the scaling of classical correlations in a classical harmonic system and relate it to a quantum lattice system with a modified interaction. We briefly comment on a general relationship between criticality and area laws for the entropy of entanglement.

description: We present 8-13 micron spectra of eight red giants in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), obtained at the European Southern Observatory 3.6m telescope. These are the first mid-infrared spectra of metal-poor, low-mass stars. The spectrum of at least one of these, namely the extremely red, large-amplitude variable V1, shows direct evidence of circumstellar grains made of amorphous silicate.

Efficient Monte Carlo simulation of a glass forming binary mixture

description: We propose and use a novel, hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm that combines configurational bias particle swaps with parallel tempering. We use this new method to simulate a standard model of a glass forming binary mixture above and below the so-called mode-coupling temperature, Tmct. We find that an ansatz that was used previously to extrapolate thermodynamic quantities to temperatures below Tmct breaks down in the vicinity of the mode-coupling temperature. Thus, previous estimates of the so-called Kauzmann temperature need to be reexamined. Also, we find that the Adam-Gibbs relations D ~ exp(-a/TSc) and tau ~ exp(b/TSc), which connect the diffusion coefficient D and the relaxation time tau with the configurational entropy Sc, are valid for all temperatures for which the configurational and vibrational contributions to the free energy decouple.

description: The necessity to secure the communication between hardware components in embedded systems becomes increasingly important with regard to the secrecy of data and particularly its commercial use. We suggest a low-cost (i.e. small logic-area) solution for flexible security levels and short key lifetimes. The basis is an approach for symmetric key exchange using the synchronisation of Tree Parity Machines. Fast successive key generation enables a key exchange within a few milliseconds, given realistic communication channels with a limited bandwidth. For demonstration we evaluate characteristics of a standard-cell ASIC design realisation as IP-core in 0.18-micrometer CMOS-technology.

description: The Sun is a well-studied astrophysical source of axion-like particles (ALPs), produced mainly through the Primakoff process. Moreover, in the Sun there exist large-scale magnetic fields that catalyze an additional ALP production via a coherent conversion of thermal photons. We study this contribution to the solar ALP emissivity, typically neglected in previous investigations. Furthermore, we discuss additional bounds on the ALP-photon coupling from energy-loss arguments, and the detection perspectives of this new ALP flux at future helioscope and dark matter experiments.
