description: Evaluation of past and present operations of MFC Services (AAL) reveals many contributions of this regional cooperative to Mississippi and Louisiana agriculture. Its more significant contributions include introducing dolomitic limestone in place of sand as a carrier in fertilizer formulation; substantially reducing fertilizer prices to farmers; pioneering pelleted fertilizer; developing a program of least-cost feed formulation; introducing into the area the chill-pack process for handling broilers; developing management training programs to increase the pool of potential managers for local member cooperatives; and offering auditing, financial, and managerial advisory services to local cooperatives. In the future, MFC will emphasize forward integration in transportation and marketing services.

description: We consider the hypothesis that galactic dark matter is composed of ultra-light scalar particles and use internal properties of dwarf spheroidal galaxies to establish a preferred range for the mass m of these bosonic particles. We re-investigate the problem of the longevity of the cold clump in Ursa Minor and the problem of the rapid orbital decay of the globular clusters in Fornax and dwarf ellipticals. Treating the scalar field halo as a rigid background gravitational potential and using N-body simulations, we have explored how the dissolution timescale of the cold clump in Ursa Minor depends on m. It is demonstrated that for masses in the range 0.3x10^-22 eV < m <1x10^-22 eV, scalar field dark halos without self-interaction would have cores large enough to explain the longevity of the cold clump in Ursa Minor and the wide distribution of globular clusters in Fornax, but small enough to make the mass of the dark halos compatible with dynamical limits. It is encouraging to see that this interval of m is consistent with that needed to suppress the overproduction of substructure in galactic halos and is compatible with the acoustic peaks of cosmic microwave radiation. On the other hand, for self-interacting scalar fields with coupling constant l, values of m^4/l <= 0.55x10^3 eV^4 are required to account for the properties of the dark halos of these dwarf spheroidal galaxies.

description: This work is devoted to the concept of statistical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, proposed as a rigorous mathematical object to address the fundamental concept of ensemble average used in the study of the conventional theory of fully developed turbulence. Two types of statistical solutions have been proposed in the 1970's, one by Foias and Prodi and the other one by Vishik and Fursikov. In this article, a new, intermediate type of statistical solution is introduced and studied. This solution is a particular type of a statistical solution in the sense of Foias and Prodi which is constructed in a way akin to the definition given by Vishik and Fursikov, in such a way that it possesses a number of useful analytical properties.

title: DEPRECATED: A Specification For A Next Generation Cad Toolkit For Electronics Product Design
Creators: name: Culverhouse, Philip Frederick
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: Electronic engineering product design is a complex process which has enjoyed an increasing provision of computer based tools since the early 1980's. Over this period computer aided design tool development has progressed at such a pace that new features and functions have tended to be market driven. As such CAD tools have not been developed through the recommended practise of defining a functional specification prior to any software code generation. This thesis defines a new functional specification for next generation CAD tools to support the electronics product design process. It is synthesized from a review of the use of computers in the electronics product design process, from a case study of Best Practices prevalent in a wide range of electronics companies and from a new model of the design process. The model and the best practices have given rise to a new concept for company engineering documentation, the Product Book which provides a logical framework for constraining CAD tools and their users (designers) as means of controlling costs in the design process. This specification differs from current perceptions of computer functionality in the CAD tool industry by addressing human needs together with company needs of computer supported design, rather than just providing more technological support for the designer in isolation.
Social justice perceptions among U.S. SLPs (Unger et al., 2021)

description: Purpose: The purpose of this survey research is to provide preliminary data regarding speech-language pathologists’ (SLPs’) perceptions of the role that social justice (SJ) plays in their work. As our professional organizations call us to advocate and communicate with regulatory agencies and legislative bodies to promote quality care for all individuals, this topic has become particularly important at this time. At present, there is a lack of data in peer-reviewed publications within the discipline of communication disorders on SJ and even less regarding the perceptions of SLPs on SJ.Method: The survey was sent to American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)-certified SLPs, identified by the ASHA ProFind database, across six U.S. geographic regions, including both urban and rural communities. Four themes were explored through the survey: (a) importance of SJ, (b) awareness of SJ, (c) current practices related to SJ, and (d) barriers to SJ implementation.Results: The majority of respondents view SJ as important to the profession (91.2%) and value the work of creating equality among groups (96.0%). Many SLPs are actively involved in implementing SJ principles in their own practice by accepting Medicaid (40.7%), engaging in political outreach (55.0%), and providing transdisciplinary educational outreach (77.9%). Identified barriers to incorporating SJ include time (62.7%), resources (65.6%), and finances (70.0%).Conclusions: Working for SJ is important to a majority of the respondents, and various efforts are implemented to create equal opportunities for service to clients. Barriers continue to exist that limit the degree to which SLPs can work toward SJ. A list of actions to be considered in order to promote SJ in the field is provided.

description: A particle driven by deterministic chaos and moving in a spatially extended environment can exhibit normal diffusion, with its mean square displacement growing proportional to the time. Here we consider the dependence of the diffusion coefficient on the size and the position of areas of phase space linking spatial regions (`holes') in a class of simple one-dimensional, periodically lifted maps. The parameter dependent diffusion coefficient can be obtained analytically via a Taylor-Green-Kubo formula in terms of a functional recursion relation. We find that the diffusion coefficient varies non-monotonically with the size of a hole and its position, which implies that a diffusion coefficient can increase by making the hole smaller. We derive analytic formulas for small holes in terms of periodic orbits covered by the holes. The asymptotic regimes that we observe show deviations from the standard stochastic random walk approximation. The escape rate of the corresponding open system is also calculated. The resulting parameter dependencies are compared with the ones for the diffusion coefficient and explained in terms of periodic orbits.

description: A fluctuating non-ideal fluid at its critical point is simulated with the Lattice Boltzmann method. It is demonstrated that the method, employing a Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional, correctly reproduces the static critical behavior associated with the Ising universality class. A finite-size scaling analysis is applied to determine the critical exponents related to the order parameter, compressibility and specific heat. A particular focus is put on finite-size effects and issues related to the global conservation of the order-parameter.

Reading the landscape of public libraries as place : experiences of homeless men in public libraries in Vancouver, BC
Creators: name: McKendry, Jean Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Some homeless men are very frequent public library users, but are rarely asked by librarians for their opinions about libraries. Semi-structured individual interviews of 23 homeless men investigated how they used libraries and explored their understanding of the library as a place in downtown Vancouver, BC. Despite not being eligible for regular library membership privileges, often due to simply not having an address, 14 participants were still very frequent Central Library users. Homelessness is a high risk lifestyle and 4 participants who purposely avoided street danger in the Downtown Eastside found a safer niche within the Central Library, while 15 participants purposely chose to physically distance themselves from the stigma of homelessness and mostly kept to themselves while they were at the Central Library, which was often daily from opening until closing. Public space in libraries is especially valuable to homeless people who have no private space of their own. Amenities such as washrooms, comfortable seating and access to the Internet, which are not as freely available elsewhere as they are at libraries, made the Central Library the preferred library among all participants. Just like many of the other library users at the Central Library, participants enjoyed very ordinary library experiences, such as reading for pleasure, learning, playing online games, searching the Internet and sending and receiving emails, and some of the most frequent users created a new social identity for themselves as library users, which is far more socially acceptable than the stigmatized social identity of homelessness. Being a frequent library user gave some participants a routine and stability and the anonymity of being an ordinary library user at the Central Library gave participants an opportunity to be treated respectfully by other library users. Seventeen participants believed that using public libraries had greatly improved their lives and used libraries as transition spaces to improve their circumstances. Some participants who were frequent library users said they would like to have their own library membership for the Central Library, perhaps as much to give them a sense of belonging in their own community as for borrowing library materials.

description: Context. The INTEGRAL observatory operating in a hard X-ray/gamma domain has gathered a large observational data set over nine years starting in 2003. Most of the observing time was dedicated to the Galactic source population study, making possible the deepest Galactic survey in hard X-rays ever compiled. Aims. We aim to perform a Galactic survey that can be used as the basis of Galactic source population studies, and perform mapping of the Milky Way in hard X-rays over the maximum exposure available at |b|<17.5 deg. Methods. We used sky reconstruction algorithms especially developed for the high quality imaging of INTEGRAL/IBIS data. Results. We present sky images, sensitivity maps, and catalogs of detected sources in the three energy bands 17-60, 17-35, and 35-80 keV in the Galactic plane at |b|<17.5 deg. The total number of sources in the reference 17-60 keV band includes 402 objects exceeding a 4.7 sigma detection threshold on the nine-year time-averaged map. Among the identified sources with known and tentatively identified natures, 253 are Galactic objects (108 low-mass X-ray binaries, 82 high-mass X-ray binaries, 36 cataclysmic variables, and 27 are of other types), and 115 are extragalactic objects, including 112 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 3 galaxy clusters. The sample of Galactic sources with S/N>4.7 sigma has an identification completeness of ~92%, which is valuable for population studies. Since the survey is based on the nine-year sky maps, it is optimized for persistent sources and may be biased against finding transients.

title: DEPRECATED: Prediction of the Risk of Capsize of Small Ships
Creators: name: Deakins, Eric
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: The lack of a necessary rational framework for assessing ship stability was the main concern of this research. The aim was to develop a rational philosophy and a logical procedure of assessing intact stability in order to ensure a consistent and unified approach to design for operation and for survival. The method uniquely brings together a linearised analysis for assessing a potentially dangerous roll motion with a probabilistic assessment of ship performance in rough seas on a standard test-track. This represents a significant advance on previous research. A novel feature of the analysis was that prediction of the extreme capsize roll motion was not attempted per se. Instead a reduced level of roll response termed "potentially dangerous" roll motion was selected (based on discussions with seagoing personnel) beyond which there was evidence that loss of the vessel is likely. Validation of the linear spectral analysis used in the simulations was performed using full scale trial results of a fisheries protection vessel. Provided that measured values of roll damping coefficient were used, the predicted values of extreme roll closely matched the maximum values experienced on sea trials up to the chosen value of critical roll angle of 30 degrees. Particular attention was paid to the realistic modelling of total system behaviour in rough seas. Families of wave spectra were used to represent the complete range of wave conditions encountered in nature. Avoidance and pacifying seamanship were incorporated based on the results of available trials data and discussions with serving masters. Independent (Bernoulli) trials procedures were used to calculate the cumulative probability of a critical roll motion being exceeded at least once during the vessel's passage through the test-track. The value of critical motion exceedance obtained was 5x10ˉ² for the fisheries protection vessel which has a large metacentic height and is reported to have good seakeeping characteristics.

description: Motivated by the viscosity bound in gauge/gravity duality, we consider the ratio of shear viscosity (eta) to entropy density (s) in black hole accretion flows. We use both an ideal gas equation of state and the QCD equation of state obtained from lattice for the fluid accreting onto a Kerr black hole. The QCD equation of state is considered since the temperature of accreting matter is expected to approach 10^{12}K in certain hot flows. We find that in both the cases eta/s is small only for primordial black holes and several orders of magnitude larger than any known fluid for stellar and supermassive black holes. We show that a lower bound on the mass of primordial black holes leads to a lower bound on eta/s and vice versa. Finally we speculate that the Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity parameter should decrease with increasing density and/or temperatures.

description: Let $K$ be a number field and $r$ an integer. Given an elliptic curve $E$, defined over $K$, we consider the problem of counting the number of degree two prime ideals of $K$ with trace of Frobenius equal to $r$. Under certain restrictions on $K$, we show that "on average" the number of such prime ideals with norm less than or equal to $x$ satisfies an asymptotic identity that is in accordance with standard heuristics. This work is related to the classical Lang-Trotter conjecture and extends the work of several authors.

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: This paper presents a new method for the efficient numerical computation of Casimir interactions between objects of arbitrary geometries, composed of materials with arbitrary frequency-dependent electrical properties. Our method formulates the Casimir effect as an interaction between effective electric and magnetic current distributions on the surfaces of material bodies, and obtains Casimir energies, forces, and torques from the spectral properties of a matrix that quantifies the interactions of these surface currents. The method can be formulated and understood in two distinct ways: \textbf{(1)} as a consequence of the familiar \textit{stress-tensor} approach to Casimir physics, or, alternatively, \textbf{(2)} as a particular case of the \textit{path-integral} approach to Casimir physics, and we present both formulations in full detail. In addition to providing an algorithm for computing Casimir interactions in geometries that could not be efficiently handled by any other method, the framework proposed here thus achieves an explicit unification of two seemingly disparate approaches to computational Casimir physics.

description: Let ell be a prime, and H a curve of genus 2 over a field k of characteristic not 2 or ell. If S is a maximal Weil-isotropic subgroup of Jac(H)[ell], then Jac(H)/S is isomorphic to the Jacobian of some (possibly reducible) curve X. We investigate the Dolgachev--Lehavi method for constructing the curve X, simplifying their approach and making it more explicit. The result, at least for ell=3, is an efficient and easily programmable algorithm suitable for number-theoretic calculations.

description: We report the generation of spin squeezing and entanglement in a magnetically-sensitive atomic ensemble, and entanglement-enhanced field measurements with this system. A maximal Raman coherence is prepared in an ensemble of 8.5x10^5 laser-cooled Rb-87 atoms in the f=1 hyperfine ground state, and the collective spin is squeezed by synthesized optical quantum non-demolition measurement. This prepares a state with large spin alignment and noise below the projection-noise level in a mixed alignment-orientation variable. 3.2dB of noise reduction is observed and 2.0dB of squeezing by the Wineland criterion, implying both entanglement and metrological advantage. Enhanced sensitivity is demonstrated in field measurements using alignment-to-orientation conversion.

description: A visualization scheme for quantum many-body wavefunctions is described, which we have termed qubism. Its main property is its recursivity: increasing the number of qubits reflects in an increase in the image resolution. Thus, the plots are typically fractal. As examples, we provide images for the ground states of commonly used Hamiltonians in condensed matter and cold atom physics, such as Heisenberg or ITF. Many features of the wavefunction, such as magnetization, correlations and criticality, can be visualized as properties of the images. In particular, factorizability can be easily spotted, and a way to estimate the entanglement entropy from the image is provided.

Numerical properties of staggered quarks with a taste-dependent mass term

description: The numerical properties of staggered Dirac operators with a taste-dependent mass term proposed by Adams [1,2] and by Hoelbling [3] are compared with those of ordinary staggered and Wilson Dirac operators. In the free limit and on (quenched) interacting configurations, we consider their topological properties, their spectrum, and the resulting pion mass. Although we also consider the spectral structure, topological properties, locality, and computational cost of an overlap operator with a staggered kernel, we call attention to the possibility of using the Adams and Hoelbling operators without the overlap construction. In particular, the Hoelbling operator could be used to simulate two degenerate flavors without additive mass renormalization, and thus without fine-tuning in the chiral limit.

Parity Violation of Gravitons in the CMB Bispectrum

description: We investigate the cosmic microwave background (CMB) bispectra of the intensity (temperature) and polarization modes induced by the graviton non-Gaussianities, which arise from the parity-conserving and parity-violating Weyl cubic terms with time-dependent coupling. By considering the time-dependent coupling, we find that even in the exact de Sitter space time, the parity violation still appears in the three-point function of the primordial gravitational waves and could become large. Through the estimation of the CMB bispectra, we demonstrate that the signals generated from the parity-conserving and parity-violating terms appear in completely different configurations of multipoles. For example, the parity-conserving non-Gaussianity induces the nonzero CMB temperature bispectrum in the configuration with $\sum_{n=1}^3 \ell_n = {\rm even}$ and, while due to the parity-violating non-Gaussianity, the CMB temperature bispectrum also appears for $\sum_{n=1}^3 \ell_n = {\rm odd}$. This signal is just good evidence of the parity violation in the non-Gaussianity of primordial gravitational waves. We find that the shape of this non-Gaussianity is similar to the so-called equilateral one and the amplitudes of these spectra at large scale are roughly estimated as $|b_{\ell \ell \ell}| \sim \ell^{-4} \times 3.2 \times 10^{-2} ({\rm GeV} / Λ)^2 (r / 0.1)^4$, where $Λ$ is an energy scale that sets the magnitude of the Weyl cubic terms (higher derivative corrections) and $r$ is a tensor-to-scalar ratio. Taking the limit for the nonlinearity parameter of the equilateral type as $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm eq} < 300$, we can obtain a bound as $Λ\gtrsim 3 \times 10^6 {\rm GeV}$, assuming $r=0.1$.

Local knowledge about Japanese vegetables and herbs among people of Japanese descent in Southwest British Columbia
Creators: name: Tsuzuku, Shie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: There is a long history of Japanese immigration to British Columbia (BC). Eastern food knowledge is one of the cultural contributions the Japanese community made to BC. However, there is a concern that this knowledge will be lost in the Japanese communities because many of the practitioners are elders and there is little documentation of intergenerational knowledge. The purpose of this research is to describe the traditional and modern knowledge about Japanese vegetables and herbs among Japanese home gardeners and commercial producers in Southwest BC. Traditional and modern knowledge includes aspects of production and the cultural significance of the Japanese vegetables and herbs used. The primary method of data collection was semi-structured interviews (n=12) with people of Japanese descent in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, BC. The interview participants grew more than 80 kinds of vegetables, herbs and fruit. It was common to integrate hand-powered tools, and natural and homemade products to manage soil, pests, disease and weeds. Based on the findings, I assessed the opportunities and challenges for growing Japanese vegetables and herbs for primary production and as conduits for cultural connections. Some Japanese vegetables, such as daikon (white radish) or komatsuna (leafy vegetable) are already successfully grown within the communities and serve as a cultural connection. Also, the community network is maintained through growing and cooking these vegetables. However, challenges include our short growing season, and labor intensiveness related to production of Japanese vegetables and herbs. This research is one step toward preserving and sharing of knowledge about Japanese vegetables and herbs, along with cultural information across generations and cultures. The result of this research is useful source for describing the local food system and will contribute an information base that should foster improved access to culturally appropriate foods.
Effective relational dynamics of a nonintegrable cosmological model

description: We apply the effective approach to evaluating semiclassical relational dynamics to the closed Friedman--Robertson--Walker cosmological model filled with a minimally coupled massive scalar field. This model is interesting for studying relational dynamics in a more general setting because (i) it features a nontrivial coupling of the relational clock to the evolving degrees of freedom, (ii) no temporally global clock variable exists, and (iii) it is nonintegrable which is typical for generic dynamical systems. The effective approach is especially well geared for addressing the concept of relational evolution in this context, since it enables one to switch between different clocks and yields a consistent (temporally) local time evolution with transient observables so long as semiclassicality holds. We provide evidence that relational evolution in this model universe, while possible for sufficiently semiclassical states, generically breaks down in the region of maximal expansion. This is rooted in a defocusing of classical trajectories, which leads to a rapid spreading of states that are initially sharply peaked and to a mixing of internal time directions in this region. These results are qualitatively compared to previous work on this model, revisiting conceptual issues that have been raised earlier in the literature.

description: Excerpts from the report: Members of the general public, including many people in the farmer cooperative community itself, are unaware that many of the processed food products they buy carry brand names owned by farmer cooperatives. They are unaware of the contribution cooperatives make toward providing them with a wide array of safe and nutritious foods. This publication has a dual purpose: (1) to inform you of the extent that producers of agricultural products are involved in food processing and brand marketing through their cooperatives; and (2) to acquaint you with the wide array of cooperative branded food products.
