description: Congressionally mandated programs and policies cannot be effectively implemented, nor can related research be undertaken with existing data and indicators of development. Gross National Product (GNP), as a measure of development, has some shortcomings and social indicators, as a supplement to GNP, are not adequate for measuring progress of countries in achieving development objectives as mandated by Congress. A new set of indicators, termed "distributive indicators," need to be developed and related data collected by international agencies.

description: In this paper we construct the time dependent boundary states describing the ``rolling D-brane solutions'' in the NS5 background discovered recently by Kutasov by means of the classical DBI analysis. We first survey some aspects of non-compact branes in the NS5 background based on known boundary states in the N=2 Liouville theory. We consider two types of non-compact branes, one of which is BPS and the other is non-BPS but stable. Then we clarify how to Wick-rotate the non-BPS one appropriately. We show that the Wick-rotated boundary state realizes the correct trajectory of rolling D-brane in the classical limit, and leads to well behaved spectral densities of open strings due to the existence of non-trivial damping factors of energy. We further study the cylinder amplitudes and the emission rates of massive closed string modes.

title: Localisation of Labour Party combined heat and power/district heating policy: 1977-87
Creators: name: Marvin, Simon
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1991

description: This thesis examines the impact of local political units of the Labour Party on the development of national party policy for Combined Heat and Power/District Heating (CHP/DH) energy production technology over the period 1977-87. Three particular localities, Newcastle, Sheffield and London, were selected for study because they had an important role in advocating the local development of CHP/DH. But the local implementation of CHP/DH in these Labour controlled local authorities was severely constrained by the policies of the Conservative Government and the institutional constraints imposed by the Electricity Supply Industry. One response by these localities has been the localisation of national party policy for CHP/DH. This refers to a local role in the formulation of national party policies by using the local-national party interface to transmit local policies and demands to the centre. Localisation is a complex process, it varies overtime, particular localities have different roles, a wide variety of structures linking the local-national party are utilised, different types of localisation are advocated by particular local groups and there are varying national party responses to the local demands. It would be impossible to understand the development of national Labour Party policy for CHP/DH without an analysis of the role of particular Labour controlled local authorities in national policy formulation. The three cities examined in this study have provided an important axis of support for CHP/DH. They ensured that CHP/DH was placed on the national party policy agenda, provided local demonstrations of potential national policies, attempted to give policy a spatial dimension and develop a commitment to the municipal development of CHP/DH. But the national response to these demands was ambiguous. The national policy has reformulated and selected from the local demands and national party support for CHP/DH sits uncomfortably alongside other contradictory energy policies. However the local units of the party have ensured that CHP/DH was kept on the national party policy agenda, built up a body of support for CHP/DH and tried to ensure that the technology is incorporated into alternative strategies which could be implemented if a Labour government is elected.

description: A methane line list for the HITEMP spectroscopic database, covering 0-13,400 cm$^{-1}$ ($>$746 nm), is presented. To create this compilation, ab initio line lists of $^{12}$CH$_{4}$ from Rey et al. (2017) ApJ, 847, 105 (provided at separate temperatures in the TheoReTS information system), are now combined with HITRAN2016 methane data to produce a single line list suitable for high-temperature line-by-line calculations up to 2000 K. An effective-temperature interpolation model was created in order to represent continuum-like features at any temperature of interest. This model is advantageous to previously-used approaches that employ so-called ``super-lines'', which are suitable only at a given temperature and require separate line lists for different temperatures. The resultant HITEMP line list contains $\sim$32 million lines and is significantly more flexible than alternative line lists of methane, while accuracy required for astrophysical or combustion applications is retained. Comparisons against experimental observations of methane absorption at high temperatures have been used to demonstrate the accuracy of the new work. The line list includes both strong lines and quasi-continuum features and is provided in the common user-friendly HITRAN/HITEMP format, making it the most practical methane line list for radiative transfer modeling at high-temperature conditions.

A proposal for teaching Food Studies 11 and Active Living 11 together
Creators: name: Withenshaw, Samantha
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Currently secondary schools in British Columbia have separate courses for Food Studies and Active Living. Food Studies is taught in the Home Economics Department and Active Living is part of the Physical Education program. Both of these courses have health related objectives. With the current health concerns related to lack of exercise and improper eating this paper makes the case for teaching these two courses using sequenced and shared integration approaches so that students can understand the relationship between physical activity and healthy eating. In addition to creating a rationale for combining the two courses, I present a tentative outline for how each of the courses could be sequence so that they reinforce the goals and outcomes of each and demonstrate to students how interconnected the two subjects are. In addition I suggested shared teaching activities that to demonstrate how combining the two could meet the outcomes of both courses and be taught in such a way that they reinforce and complement each other.

description: Agricultural work is associated with increased risk of adverse musculoskeletal health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to quantify exposure to biomechanical factors among a sample (n = 55) of farmers in the Midwest region of the U.S. while they performed a variety of routine agricultural activities, and to compare exposure levels between these activities. Surface electromyography was used to estimate activity levels of the erector spinae, upper trapezius, forearm flexor, and forearm extensor muscle groups. Simultaneously, inertial sensors were used to measure kinematics of the trunk, upper arm, and wrist. In general, lower muscle activity levels, less extreme postures, and slower movement speeds were observed during activities that involved primarily the use of agricultural machinery in comparison to manual activities, suggesting a potential advantage of mechanization relative to musculoskeletal health. Median wrist movement speeds exceeding recently proposed exposure thresholds were also observed during many manual activities, such as milking animals and repairing equipment. Upper arm postures and movement speeds did not appear to confer excessive risk for shoulder-related outcomes (on the whole), but interpretation of the results is limited by a sampling approach that may not have captured the full extent of exposure variation. Not surprisingly, substantial variation in exposure levels were observed within each agricultural activity, which is related to substantial variation in the equipment, tools, and work practices used by participants. Ultimately, the results of this study contribute to an emerging literature in which the physical demands of routine agricultural work have been described on the basis of sensor-based measurements rather than more common self-report or observation-based approaches.

description: Farming systems research has set itself the ambitious goal of developing technologies that are widely adopted by resource poor farmers. This goal has generally proved to be far more elusive than originally hoped. The problem does not lie with the principles of farming systems research (i.e., research that is farmer oriented, interdisiciplinary and employs a systems perspective). Part of the problem, particularly for Sahelian countries, is the lack of technologies "on the shelf" to offer farmers. Part of the problem, also,is inadequately developed markets for credit, inputs and products. Even when due allowance has been made for these constraints, however, farming systems research has not yielded its full potential. The reason is simple - farming systems research is hard to do (Herdt, 1987). It is physically hard, and it is intellectually hard. Conventional research tools are not well adapted to farmer participatory research. Communication, with farmers and with other disciplines, is a struggle. As a result, every farming systems research team (and every team member) must engage in a learning process through which the necessary expertise and mutual understanding can be developed. The goal of this paper is to make a contribution to this learning process, in the Senegalese context. The subject matter is the economic analysis of on-farm trials. What can be learned from such analysis that is useful to farming systems or commodity-oriented research teams? How should it be done and what practical advances in method have taken place recently? What data are required and how should they be collected? Although the subject matter is economic analysis, the paper is addressed to team members from all disciplines. Like new technology, the information gained from economic analysis is only useful if it is adopted, i.e., incorporated into the design of further experimental work or the formulation of farmer recommendations. This can only be achieved if the objectives, concepts and methods of economic analysis are understood and accepted by all team members.

description: Convolutional Neural Networks have reached extremely high performances on the Face Recognition task. Largely used datasets, such as VGGFace2, focus on gender, pose and age variations trying to balance them to achieve better results. However, the fact that images have different resolutions is not usually discussed and resize to 256 pixels before cropping is used. While specific datasets for very low resolution faces have been proposed, less attention has been payed on the task of cross-resolution matching. Such scenarios are of particular interest for forensic and surveillance systems in which it usually happens that a low-resolution probe has to be matched with higher-resolution galleries. While it is always possible to either increase the resolution of the probe image or to reduce the size of the gallery images, to the best of our knowledge an extensive experimentation of cross-resolution matching was missing in the recent deep learning based literature. In the context of low- and cross-resolution Face Recognition, the contributions of our work are: i) we proposed a training method to fine-tune a state-of-the-art model in order to make it able to extract resolution-robust deep features; ii) we tested our models on the benchmark datasets IJB-B/C considering images at both full and low resolutions in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed training algorithm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work testing extensively the performance of a FR model in a cross-resolution scenario; iii) we tested our models on the low resolution and low quality datasets QMUL-SurvFace and TinyFace and showed their superior performances, even though we did not train our model on low-resolution faces only and our main focus was cross-resolution; iv) we showed that our approach can be more effective with respect to preprocessing faces with super resolution techniques.

description: We performed infrared transmission experiment on ion-gel gated graphene and measured carrier scattering rate g as function of carrier density n over wide range up to n=2E13 cm-2. The g exhibits a rapid decreases along with the gating followed by persistent increases on further carrier doping. This behavior of g(n) demonstrates that carrier is scattered dominantly by the two scattering mechanisms, namely, charged impurity (CI) scattering and short-range disorder (SR) scattering, with additional minor scattering from substrate phonon (SPP). We can determine the absolute strengths of all the scattering channels by fitting the g(n) data and unveils the complete n-dependent map of the scattering mechanisms g(n)=gCI(n)+gSR(n)+gSPP(n). The gCI(n) and gSR(n) are larger than those of SiO2$-gated graphene by 1.8 times, which elucidates the dual role of the ion-gel layer as a CI-scatterer and simultaneously a SR-scatterer to graphene. Additionally we show that freezing of IG at low-T (~200 K) does not cause any change to the carrier scattering.

description: The average total cost of production for milk in Connecticut in 2011 is $31.52/cwt, based on a sample of 39 state dairy producers. Additional total cost of production (COP) estimates are provided for different farm-size classes, ranging from $26.05/cwt for the largest size class to $35.76/cwt for the smallest. The most significant costs to CT dairies are feed and labor, which make up close to 60% of total COP and are primarily responsible for the variation seen in the projected 2012 monthly COP estimates. Monthly estimates of the 2012 CT COP for milk are based on the 2011 COP, which is adjusted using USDA NASS indices and CT production figures for the corresponding month. The estimated COP for milk in CT has increased in every month in 2012, from $31.97/cwt in January to $39.10/cwt in September. The Statistical Uniform Price (SUP) for milk in Hartford, CT decreased monthly for the first half of 2012 and increased in each month of the third quarter, resulting in a net increase from January to September. Given the monthly trends in COP and the SUP, the value of payments to CT dairy farms under CT Public Act 09-229 has increased month-to-month from $6.95/cwt in January to $12.71/cwt in September.

description: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the application of consultation services for supporting students with special educational needs and disabilities under the supervision of special educators. Additionally, we examined the experiences and emotions of special educators, regarding their preparation and competencies around high-risk students. Finally, the main aim of this research was the detection and verification of the need for collaboration among school psychologists and special educators in Greek schools. Findings demonstrated the necessity of this cooperation so as to effectively resolve any issues related to the students and the interactions with the personnel of the school. Nevertheless, we can conclude that there are different situations in which consultation can be achieved or cannot be achieved and its success is dependable on many other factors that could actuate further and more profound studies in the field of special education

description: Cold fronts - sharp discontinuities recently discovered by Chandra in many clusters of galaxies - are believed to be due to a hot gas flow over a colder gravitationally bound gas cloud. We analyze the stability of the fronts with respect to Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and show that an intrinsic width of the interface of the order of a few per cent of the curvature radius strongly limits the growth of perturbation. For the best studied case of a front in the Cluster Abell 3667 we conclude that current observational data on the width and extent of the front can be explained even in the absence of dynamically important magnetic fields.

description: In this paper, we present a simple and robust numerical method able to predict, with high accuracy, the photo-thermal effects occurring for a gold nanoparticles arrangement under externally applied strain. The physical system is numerically implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics simulation platform. The gold nanoparticles distributions are excited by linearly polarized light. By considering the system at rest and under the action of a mechanical stress, we analyze the extinction cross section, and we observe the production of heat at the nanoscale. The purpose of this work is to describe how sensitive the local temperature of the gold nanoparticles arrangement is to the formation of localized photo-thermal hot spots.

description: The Cambridge Analytica scandal triggered a conversation on Twitter about data practices and their implications. Our research proposes to leverage this conversation to extend the understanding of how information privacy is framed by users worldwide. We collected tweets about the scandal written in Spanish and English between April and July 2018. We created a word embedding to create a reduced multi-dimensional representation of the tweets in each language. For each embedding, we conducted open coding to characterize the semantic contexts of key concepts: "information", "privacy", "company" and "users" (and their Spanish translations). Through a comparative analysis, we found a broader emphasis on privacy-related words associated with companies in English. We also identified more terms related to data collection in English and fewer associated with security mechanisms, control, and risks. Our findings hint at the potential of cross-language comparisons of text to extend the understanding of worldwide differences in information privacy perspectives.

We derive the star-products for such functions in this framework and generalize the Berezin-Toeplitz quantization to matrix-valued classical functions. We also comment on how this is related to different calculations of the effective action for Hall systems.

description: We report results and analysis of time-resolved photoinduced reflectivity experiments on the cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu3O6.5. The sample, which has Tc=45 K, was characterized by a high degree of purity and Ortho II ordering. The change in reflectivity (Delta R) was induced and probed using pulses of 100 femtosecond duration and photon energy 1.55 eV from a Ti:Sapphire laser. We provide a detailed picture of the decay rate (gamma) of Delta R as a function of temperature T and pump intensity I. At low T, gamma decreases linearly with decreasing I, extrapolating to nearly zero in the limit that I tends to zero. At higher temperatures gamma has the same linear dependence, but with nonzero limit as I goes to zero. In the interpretation of these results we assume that Delta R is proportional to the nonequilibrium quasiparticle density created by the laser. From an analysis of the gamma vs. I we estimate beta, the coefficient of proportionality relating the quasiparticle decay rate to the density. The intercept of gamma vs. I yields the thermal equilibrium quasiparticle decay rate. In a discussion section, we argue that the quasiparticles induced by the laser occupy primarily states near the antinodal regions of the Brillouin zone. We explain the divergence of the lifetime as T and I both tend to zero as a consequence of momentum and energy conservation in electron-electron scattering. We discuss the significance of the measured value of beta (approximately 0.1 cm2/s) in terms of the electron-phonon interactions.

description: This study updates previous meta-analysis of farm-level frontier function studies in order to provide a detailed systematic and comprehensive analysis of the effects that different studyspecific attributes have on mean technical efficiency (MTE) scores. Before presenting the technical efficiency (TE) analysis, we provide an overview of the evolution of key methodological approaches that have been developed and applied to measure and examine TE. A detailed descriptive analysis is then performed for a meta-dataset that includes 408 farm level TE studies, published between 1981 and mid-2014. Some studies report several MTEs, resulting in 900 observations or cases. A key result from the descriptive analysis is that the Average of the Mean Technical Efficiencies (AMTE) reported for all studies is 74.2%. The AMTE across methodological attributes tend to be quite similar but several significant differences are observed when comparisons are made across geographical regions, income levels, and types of product. The paper goes on to report the results of meta-regressions estimated using the fractional regression procedure, which is well suited for dependent variables that are defined on the unit interval or as a fraction (between 0 and 1), as is the case with TE. In the concluding section, we provide some thoughts concerning recent work that uses stochastic production frontier methodologies to evaluate the impact of developments projects while addressing biases from observable and unobservable variables.

Growth of non-linear structures and spherical collapse in the Galileon Ghost Condensate model

description: We present a detailed study of the collapse of a spherical matter overdensity and the non-linear growth of large scale structures in the Galileon ghost condensate (GGC) model. This model is an extension of the cubic covariant Galileon (G3) which includes a field derivative of type $(\nabla_μϕ\nabla^μϕ)^2$ in the Lagrangian. We find that the cubic term activates the modifications in the main physical quantities whose time evolution is then strongly affected by the additional term. Indeed, the GGC model shows largely mitigated effects in the linearised critical density contrast, non-linear effective gravitational coupling and the virial overdensity with respect to G3 but still preserves peculiar features with respect to the standard $Λ$CDM cosmological model, e.g. both the linear critical density contrast and the virial overdensity are larger than those in $Λ$CDM. The results of the spherical collapse model are then used to predict the evolution of the halo mass function, non-linear matter and lensing power spectra. While at low masses the GGC model presents about 10% fewer objects with respect to $Λ$CDM, at higher masses for $z>0$ it predicts 10% ($z=0.5$)-20% ($z=1$) more objects per comoving volume. Using a phenomenological approach to include the screening effect in the matter power spectrum, we show that the difference induced by the modifications of gravity are strongly dependent on the screening scale and that differences can be up to 20% with respect to $Λ$CDM. These differences translate to the lensing power spectrum where qualitatively the largest differences with respect to the standard cosmological model are for $\ell<10^3$. Depending on the screening scale, they can be up to 25% on larger angular scales and then decrease for growing $\ell$. These results are obtained for the best fit parameters from linear cosmological data for each model.

description: Using the previously developed canonical phase space approach applied to the noisy Burgers equation in one dimension, we discuss in detail the growth morphology in terms of nonlinear soliton modes and superimposed linear modes. We moreover analyze the non-Hermitian character of the linear mode spectrum and the associated dynamical pinning and mode transmutation from diffusive to propagating behavior induced by the solitons. We discuss the anomalous diffusion of growth modes, switching and pathways, correlations in the multi-soliton sector, and in detail the correlations and scaling properties in the two-soliton sector.

description: Impersonal and open-market transactions between actors in traditional agro-food systems based on price signals are replaced by rather controlled impersonal vertical coordination such as contract farming, because of the changes in market structure, consumer preferences and attitudes, technological improvements, and food safety issues. Recent sophisticated ideas like environmentally sound, sustainable agriculture, standards and regulations related to environment and health care are among the forces behind the fast growing of contractual relationship. Contract farming displays great variety in practice. The form it takes, attitudes and approaches of the partners are affected mainly by availability of other alternatives and the political, economic, and social structures at the local and national level, along with the specifications of the product. When evaluating contract farming applications and their outcomes in practice, it will be more illustrative to consider contractual arrangements in two main types as private contract arrangements and contract farming schemes. While the aims and the structure are almost similar, there are some important differences in detail. There are national and regional differences that have to be considered in related analysis and evaluations. Even though contractual relationship of the advanced agro-food system has many advantages, it also has inherent and implementation problems. The main problem is the weak position of the farmers in the contractual arrangements both in developed and developing world that is called as bargaining problem. Contract farming is not a panacea to solve all related problems of agricultural production and marketing systems. However, this way of coordination could be evaluated as a way of providing easier access production inputs and product market for the small-scale farmers. Contract farming also contributes to the development of a sound food industry. It might also be seen as a way toward or as a part of rural development and can be promoted to improve agricultural performance, especially in the Third World Countries. Contractual relationships are not only a distinctive feature of highly industrialized agro-food systems, but also a way of establishing an industrialized and developed structure. But, to obtain the advantages of contract farming, the necessary measures must be taken to trade off those disadvantages, such as the exploitation of small farmers and natural resources by domestic and foreign corporations and multinationals.

description: Under the influence of the growing fragmentation of the market and the media, increased global competitive struggle, technological progress in the field of telecommunications and way of doing international financial and business operations, there is a significant turning point in profiling communication aspects of marketing, and the repositioning of relationships between financial organizations and their clients. Poor results stemming from traditional media advertising as the dominant marketing tool, led to a quest for an alternative that is enshrined in the concept of integrated marketing communications (IMC). Contemporary marketing requires a new kind of communication with the business environment, based on the synergy and creativity, integration and communication, which makes the concept of integrated marketing communications important factor to improve the market competitiveness of financial organizations.
