description: We have detected the intrinsic size of Sagittarius A*, the Galactic Center radio source associated with a supermassive black hole, showing that the short-wavelength radio emission arises from very near the event horizon of the black hole. Radio observations with the Very Long Baseline Array show that the source has a size of $24 \pm 2$ Schwarzschild radii at 7 mm wavelength. In one of eight 7-mm epochs we also detect an increase in the intrinsic size of $60^{+25}_{-17}$%. These observations place a lower limit to the mass density of Sgr A* of $1.4\times10^{4}$ solar masses per cubic astronomical unit.

description: This report covers a modelling exercise which is a component of a larger project to assist the Māori pastoral sector to improve its collective capacity to increase resource efficiency, farm productivity, while lowering GHG emissions. Discussions were held with the Trustees and managers of the four Focus Farms involved; Two dairy farms: Pukehina (Bay of Plenty) and Te Rua o Te Moko (Taranaki), and two sheep & beef farms; Oromahoe (Northland), and Morotiri (East Coast). These discussions with the four Focus Farms initially identified a range of farm system-type change scenarios, along with the retirement of marginal land into forestry. The results of the mitigation modelling were presented to the owners/managers at a second meeting to then identify further scenarios for modelling The modelling involved a three stage process; initially farm system changes were modelled in FARMAX, with this system then modelled in OVERSEER. Because FARMAX does not model forestry systems or economics, and OVERSEER does not model carbon sequestration, the scenarios were also run through the Radiata Pine Calculator, and the resultant total economic situation and carbon sequestration calculated via spreadsheet. Given that OVERSEER was being used to model the GHG emissions, changes in nutrient discharges (N and P) were also noted.

description: Dry granular material flowing on rough inclines can experience a self-induced Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability followed by the spontaneous emergence of convection cells. For this to happen, particles are different in size and density, the larger particles are the denser but still segregate toward the surface. When the flow is, as usual, initially made of two layers, dense particles above, a Rayleigh-Taylor instability develops during the flow. When the flow is initially made of one homogeneous layer mixture, the granular segregation leads to the formation of an unstable layer of large-dense particles at the surface which subsequently destabilizes in a RT plume pattern. The unstable density gradient has been only induced by the motion of the granular matter. This self-induced Rayleigh-Taylor instability and the two-layer RT instability are studied using two different methods, experiments and simulations. At last, contrarily to the usual fluid behavior where the RT instability relaxes into two superimposed stable layers of fluid, the granular flow evolves to a pattern of alternated bands corresponing to recirculation cells analogous to Rayleigh-B{é}nard convection cells where segregation sustains the convective motion.

description: The New Zealand dairy industry is associated with significant greenhouse gas emissions, and although food production is crucial to feed a growing world population, being accountable for climatic impact is an increasing responsibility. An integrated modelling process was used for an environmental and economic analysis of various greenhouse gas mitigation options, individually and combined. OVERSEER® and Farmax Dairy pro were integrated in conjunction with modelling calculations on Microsoft excel to adjust both basic farm management changes such as nitrogen application, stocking rate and supplementary feed; and incorporate more complex reduction initiatives such as forestry and soil carbon sequestration methods. The most significant greenhouse gas reduction occurred through agro-forestry land-use option for lower production areas on-farm and a mechanism for carbon sequestration. A simulation with a 10ha increase in forestry resulting in an 18.9% reduction in greenhouse gas while decreasing economic surplus by only 4.1%. Reducing each of nitrogen application, supplementary feed and stocking rate also affected the performance measurements used, enabling a decrease in the greenhouse gas cost per dollar of economic surplus and per kilogram of milk-solid production. The modelling process indicated that a combination of halving nitrogen application across the farm, doubling palm kernel expeller offered, and a stocking reduction of 10% in addition to effective crop rotation, conservation tillage and nutrient cycling practices provided the most cost effective result. This combination of strategies gave a potential 22.4% decrease in total on-farm emissions, while maintaining a 1.8% increase in economic surplus, and 4.7% increase in production. This result of increased economic surplus and production while significantly reducing greenhouse gas production is a combination of output changes which has not previously been achieved.

description: The british film industry is, by virtue of the common language, the most exposed to American competition; but at the same time it can count on a wider domestic market and on easier access to markets in the Commonwealth countries. The present article gives an account of present government policy towards the film industry in Great Britain. Accordingly, the author concentrates attention on four topics: the quota system imposed on exhibitors in favour of British films; the National Film Finance Corporation; the British Film Production Fund; the Entertainments Tax. An assessment is provided for the need for and the present extent of government aid in this field. The author stresses the British film industry’s difficulties in finding adequate outlets for its production on the one hand, and gives small weight to the assistance which the industry obtains from the government on the other.

Quantum replica approach to the under-screened Kondo model

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We extend the Schwinger boson large N treatment of the underscreened Kondo model in a way that correctly captures the finite elastic phase shift in the singular Fermi liquid. The new feature of the approach, is the introduction of a flavor quantum number with K possible values, associated with the Schwinger boson representation. The large N limit is taken maintaining the ratio k=K/N fixed. This approach differs from previous approaches, in that we do not explicitly enforce a constraint on the spin representation of the Schwinger bosons. Instead, the energetics of the Kondo model cause the bosonic degrees of freedom to ``self assemble'' into a ground-state in which the spins of K bosons and N-K conduction electrons are antisymmetrically arranged into a Kondo singlet. With this device, the large N limit can be taken, in such a way that a fraction K/N of the Abrikosov Suhl resonance is immersed inside the Fermi sea. We show how this method can be used to model the full energy dependence of the singular Abrikosov Suhl resonance in the underscreened Kondo model and the field-dependent magnetization.

description: Shrimp farming in many parts of the world causes pollution to the environment. Upstream shrimp farmers dump untreated waste water that typically contains unconsumed feed, chemicals and even diseases into river system, polluting surrounding areas as well as downstream areas. We study experimentally solutions to the wastewater pollution problem of shrimp farming with upstream and downstream externality. The results show that an external monitoring and certification agency does not help while communication helps greatly laboratory shrimp farmers in solving the pollution problems. Once the problem is solved, the farmers manage to sustain self-governance. This suggests the possibility of community-based solutions in the field

description: Negated gradable adjectives often convey an interpretation that is stronger than their literal meaning, which is referred to as ‘negative strengthening.’ For example, a sentence like ‘John is not kind’ may give rise to the inference that John is rather mean. Crucially, negation is more likely to be pragmatically strengthened in the case of positive adjectives (‘not kind’ to mean rather mean) than negative adjectives (‘not mean’ to mean rather kind). A classical explanation of this polarity asymmetry is based on politeness, specifically on the potential face threat of bare negative adjectives (Horn, 1989; Brown and Levinson, 1987). This paper presents the results of two experiments investigating the role of face management in negative strengthening. We show that negative strengthening of positive and negative adjectives interacts differently with the social variables of power, social distance, and gender.

description: Il presente contributo si propone di esplorare la validità e le potenzialità per la geografia letteraria di un genere ancora poco indagato, quello della scrittura personalista. L’analisi critica delle fonti autobiografiche – categoria che racchiude principalmente diari, memorie e autobiografie – può consentire al pari di generi maggiormente privilegiati dai geografi quali la narrativa e la letteratura di viaggio, di reperire utili informazioni per ricostruire determinati assetti territoriali e i loro relativi riscontri paesaggistici, anche in chiave diacronica. Al fine di colmare il vulnus individuato nella letteratura esistente e incoraggiare l’esegesi geografica dei testi autobiografici, si propone un approfondimento in due direzioni; da un lato, si vaglia la possibilità di applicare due diverse metodologie consolidate dalla geografia letteraria – quella strutturalista e quella semiotica – all’analisi dei testi autobiografici, e dall’altro, si presentano alcuni possibili casi di studio, potenziali luoghi di ricerca, selezionati tra diverse realtà dedicate alla conservazione di testi autobiografici alla scala italiana ed europea.

Some characteristics of Italian economic development, 1950-1955

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Italy, economic expansion, income growth, investment, employment, productivity, problems, uneven growth
subject: O11, O14

description: The article analyses some of the less widely discussed features of Italy’s rapid economic expansion of recent years. In particular, the author examines the factors which have helped to determine the high rate of income growth, the pattern of investment, and their effects on employment and productivity. The development process between 1950-1955 seems to have been of a dual character. In one area of the economy - the industrial sectors predominately organised in the form of medium and large-scale units of production, construction, transport, and limited zones within the small-scale, labour intensive and other family-type businesses of manufacturing industry and within commerce - real wage rates, and in some instances also profits, rose substantially. However, additional employment went not so much into this area of the economy as it did into the province of artisan, and other tiny firms, and which was not only poorer to start with, but probably also enjoyed smaller gains in average earnings over the period than did the more prosperous area. The account depicted of the economic development process is thus an uneven one, the increase in income being very largely concentrated among the numbers who were already employed and especially among those who were wage- or profit-earners in the activities that are mostly in the hand of medium- or large-scale firms. The author goes on to examine what would be necessary for the increase in prosperity to be more evenly spread in the future. JEL: O11, O14

title: The impact of teacher and peer dialogue on online collaborative writing in an authentic science literacy learning environment
Creators: name: Keating, John G.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: This research is concerned with authentic science writing, and in particular, investigating collaborative science writing at secondary school level, using an online collaborative-writing environment. Specifically, it investigates how measures of successful authenticity relate to (i) how close to the text-structure of a prototypical library report genre are collaboratively-written student papers (i.e., how close to the model students were taught) (ii) to what extent do the papers use the language of science as expected at this level of schooling, for example, use of nominalization, and finally, (iii) what is the degree of participation and contribution by students in a collaborative writing task? The research also examined how students' collaboratively written texts evolved, or changed, over time in terms of their textual structure and of their key linguistic features. The research provides some insight into how text changes and evolution could be explained in relation to online dialogue and feedback. Finally, the thesis identifies the implications of the above for pedagogy and policy, i.e., for (i) students' language development in science and the use of genre pedagogies, (ii) collaborative writing in science, and (iii) on line pedagogy?

description: Agriculture is a sector that is sensitive to climate variability and extreme weather conditions such as droughts and floods. The occurrence of these events is predicted to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change. These events have adverse effects on agriculture especially rain-fed agriculture which is significantly exposed to weather leading to food insecurity for millions of people. As a result, it is necessary to determine approaches that ensure better estimation and management of resources needed given the occurrence of these extreme weather events. This is important for better financial risk management and consequently enhancing sustainable growth of the agricultural sector. In this study, we explore the application of Value at Risk (VaR) method in estimating financial loss as a result of drought. Agricultural loss as a result of rainfall variability and drought is calculated. Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is used to model the distribution of the agricultural loss. The VaR method is used to determine the catastrophic risk. Future actions will be proposed with a view enhancing financial risk management in the agricultural sector. This has the potential to enhance resilience to disasters.
A Population of Massive Globular Clusters in NGC 5128

description: We present velocity dispersion measurements of 14 globular clusters in NGC 5128 (Centarus A) obtained with the MIKE echelle spectrograph on the 6.5m Magellan Clay telescope. These clusters are among the most luminous globular clusters in NGC 5128 and have velocity dispersions comparable to the most massive clusters known in the Local Group, ranging from 10 - 30 km/s. We describe in detail our cross-correlation measurements, as well as simulations to quantify the uncertainties. These 14 globular clusters are the brightest NGC 5128 globular clusters with surface photometry and structural parameters measured from the Hubble Space Telescope. We have used these measurements to derive masses and mass-to-light ratios for all of these clusters and establish that the fundamental plane relations for globular clusters extend to an order of magnitude higher mass than in the Local Group. The mean mass-to-light ratio for the NGC 5128 clusters is ~3+/-1, higher than measurements for all but the most massive Local Group clusters. These massive clusters begin to bridge the mass gap between the most massive star clusters and the lowest-mass galaxies. We find that the properties of NGC 5128 globular clusters overlap quite well with the central properties of nucleated dwarf galaxies and ultracompact dwarf galaxies. As six of these clusters also show evidence for extratidal light, we hypothesize that at least some of these massive clusters are the nuclei of tidally stripped dwarfs.

description: Generalizing wavelets by adding desired redundancy and flexibility,framelets are of interest and importance in many applications such as image processing and numerical algorithms. Several key properties of framelets are high vanishing moments for sparse multiscale representation, fast framelet transforms for numerical efficiency, and redundancy for robustness. However, it is a challenging problem to study and construct multivariate nonseparable framelets, mainly due to their intrinsic connections to factorization and syzygy modules of multivariate polynomial matrices. In this paper, we circumvent the above difficulties through the approach of quasi-tight framelets, which behave almost identically to tight framelets. Employing the popular oblique extension principle (OEP), from an arbitrary compactly supported $\dm$-refinable vector function $ϕ$ with multiplicity greater than one, we prove that we can always derive from $ϕ$ a compactly supported multivariate quasi-tight framelet such that (i) all the framelet generators have the highest possible order of vanishing moments;(ii) its associated fast framelet transform is compact with the highest balancing order.For a refinable scalar function $ϕ$, the above item (ii) often cannot be achieved intrinsically but we show that we can always construct a compactly supported OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight framelet derived from $ϕ$ satisfying item (i).This paper provides a comprehensive investigation on OEP-based multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated framelet transforms with high balancing orders. This deepens our theoretical understanding of multivariate quasi-tight multiframelets and their associated fast multiframelet transforms.

description: The article provides a comparative study of the volume, structure and development of industrial production in Western Europe and the Unite States. After a brief description of the methods employed, the study describes the distribution of industrial production in 1955 between the individual countries of Western Europe. The authors then examine the development of industrial production between 1901 and 1955 in Western Europe as a whole, in each of the various Western European countries and in the United States. In comparing the rate of development in the United States with that in Europe, they show that the “falling-behind” of Europe was principally due to the impact of the two world wars. While the structure of industrial production differs from country to country, the structural changes between 1901 and 1955 followed the same course everywhere: the metal products and chemical sectors increased at the expense of the food and textile industries, while the relative share of the basic metal industries remained almost unchanged. The study concludes with an examination of the volume and development of industrial product per head over the same period. JEL: E23, N10

description: Nigeria faces a critical dual crisis of insecurity and substance abuse, which threatens both national stability and public health and undermines national development. This paper provides a conceptual analysis exploring the intersection of these two pressing issues, using Strain Theory to understand how societal pressures such as violence, economic instability, and displacement drive individuals toward substance abuse. The analysis examines the state of insecurity in Nigeria, focusing on insurgency, banditry It also highlights how these create significant psychological trauma and mental health issues. The analysis also explores alarming rates of substance abuse in Nigeria which far exceed the global average and reveals that substance abuse and insecurity have a vicious cyclical relationship, where insecurity drives substance use, and widespread substance abuse worsens insecurity. This paper emphasizes the need for sustainable solutions that address the root causes of insecurity, the mental health crisis, and the socioeconomic factors driving both insecurity and drug use. It concludes with recommendations that strengthened security measures, expanded access to mental health and substance abuse treatment will go a long way in addressing these issues

description: We present electronic band structure of Ag$_5$Pb$_2$O$_6$ with layered hexagonal structure containing one-dimensional chains and two-dimensional Kagomé layers of silver. A half-filled conduction band shows extremely simple, single nearly-free-electron-like Fermi surface. The conduction band is composed of an antibonding state of Pb-$6s$ and O-$2p$ mixing with Ag-4d and $5s$. Mass enhancement in the state density at the Fermi energy is expected to be negligibly small by comparing with the specific-heat data. Calculated Fermi velocity is consistent with small anisotropy observed in transport properties. Doping effects on the electronic structure are also discussed.

description: The article assesses the merits of the Special Account procedure as a central banking technique in the light of a detailed study of the Commonwealth Bank’s special account policy over this period. The author finds that the Special Account procedure has proved to be a powerful and flexible instrument which has, for the first time, given the Australian central bank adequate control over trading bank liquidity. But the appropriate use of special accounts in the difficult conditions of almost continuous inflationary pressure has been no easy task. The Commonwealth Bank has experimented with a variety of special account policies, including an unsuccessful attempt to operate on the basis of voluntary adherence by the trading banks to conventional liquid asset ratios. Its most recent policy appears to assimilate special accounts closely to the New Zealand Reserve Bank’s use of variable minimum reserves to keep trading bank liquidity at low levels but relieve pressure by central bank loans at penal rates.

description: Transverse spherocity is an event shape observable having a very unique capability to separate the events based on their geometrical shapes. Recent results from experiments at the LHC suggest that transverse spherocity is an important event classifier in small collision systems. In this work, we use transverse spherocity for the first time in heavy-ion collisions and perform an extensive study on azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles produced in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}} = 5.02$ TeV using A Multi-Phase Transport Model (AMPT). The azimuthal anisotropy is estimated using the 2-particle correlation method, which suppresses the non-flow effects significantly with an appropriate pseudorapidity gap of particle pairs. The results from AMPT are compared with estimations from PYTHIA8 (Angantyr) model and it is found that with the chosen pseudorapidity gap the residual non-flow effects become negligible. We found that the high spherocity events have nearly zero elliptic flow while low spherocity events contribute significantly to elliptic flow of spherocity-integrated events. Our studies indicate that using transverse spherocity in heavy-ion collisions, one can enhance and/or suppress the collective effects.

Particulate matter measurement in a shock tube facility under engine-relevant conditions
Creators: name: Wang, Timothy Xi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study develops and demonstrates a particulate matter (PM) measurement system in a shock tube facility, in order to investigate correlations between PM emissions and combustion parameters. The resultant method was applied to premixed and non-premixed experiments using several diesel-alternative gaseous fuel mixtures. As the main component of shock tube PM , soot formation mechanisms are highly complex. The sampling methodology evolution considered technical challenges in experimental conditions attainment, contamination control, particle loss minimization, and proper instrument detection. The key resultant sampling system apparatus and procedures include conductive surfaces, particle impaction, and tube settling. Consistent background black carbon (BC) levels of 100-150 ng have been achieved in blank tests. Significant particle losses through visible BC mass increment curve decay have also been eliminated for both blank and injection experiments. Aethalometer data analysis algorithms are modified to suit the needs and limitations of this novel experimental setup. The preliminary results under engine-relevant conditions show the promise of methane/natural gas in meeting the 2007 standards. The limited set of premixed experiments (using methane and methane/ethane) did not produce noticeable BC trends with combustion temperature, pressure, or equivalence ratio (EQR). Non-premixed experiments with a gaseous fuel (using methane/DME, methane, and methane/ethane blends) injector also lacked clear dependences on temperature or pressure. Larger experimental sets of low EQR premixed and higher fuel mass injections should produce meaningful results. Dominant errors are due to particle loss and optical specific attenuation uncertainties. External measurement validation and shot-to-shot variability must be studied for proper BC signal interpretation. It is extremely challenging to achieve accurate and repeatable global BC mass measurements from methane flames in a shock tube. Any future work to build upon the current sampling system and methodology should be carefully approached.

description: We report measurements of magnetic switching and steady-state magnetic precession driven by spin-polarized currents in nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions with low-resistance, < 5 Ohm-micron-squared, barriers. The current densities required for magnetic switching are similar to values for all-metallic spin-valve devices. In the tunnel junctions, spin-transfer-driven switching can occur at voltages that are high enough to quench the tunnel magnetoresistance, demonstrating that the current remains spin-polarized at these voltages.
Rappresentazioni territoriali dalla company town all’Atlante dei classici padani

description: Questo articolo delinea i cambiamenti nella rappresentazione di alcuni luohghi della Pianura Padana attraverso l'analisi di fonti audiovisive e fotografiche. Si individuano tre fasi: nella prima, si evidenzia una narrazione retorica come nel caso della realizzazione del villaggio-modello di Dalmine. La seconda fase, corrispondente ai primi decenni del secondo dopoguerra, è caratterizzata invece da un racconto documentario che celebra l'Italia come società dei consumi, grazie al progresso tecnologico, mentre al contempo un nuovo territorio prende forma senza un'adeguata pianificazione urbanistica. Nella terza fase, negli ultimi decenni del secolo, compare nella narrazione dei luoghi un malinconico senso di decadenza il disordine spaziale causato dall'espansione urbana disordinata e dall'industrializzazione (Turri 1979; Celati, 1989a). In questo caso, mentre scompare il sogno dell'autodeterminazione utopica, sorgono eterotopie, spazi sfuggenti, nella ricerca di una nuova identità. Infine, una variante postmoderna di quest'ultima narrazione emerge nel progetto Atlante dei Classici Padani (D'Abbraccio et al., 2015), in cui aree abbandonate (Dal Borgo et al., 2016; Varotto, 2014) e architetture "kitsch" sono percepite in modo alternativo, viste come icone del paesaggio contemporaneo.

description: We study the modeling of $t$-channel single top-quark production at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. We compare predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order in a 5-flavor scheme to those of next-to-leading order in a 4-flavor scheme, finding the two schemes agree within a few percent in general for the shape of kinematic distributions of the top quark. The predictions in the 5-flavor scheme show strong stability for both normalization and distributions, and are superior to those of the 4-flavor scheme at comparable orders. We present comparisons of the predictions with LHC data. Our findings provide clear theoretical guidance for precision studies of single top-quark physics at the LHC.
