title: Measuring the opportunity cost of time in recreation demand modelling: an application to a random utility model of whitewater kayaking in Ireland

description: The treatment of the opportunity cost of travel time and the measurement of travel costs in recreational demand modelling has been a contentious issue for many decades. This paper demonstrates how a potential wage rate can be used in the measurement of the opportunity cost of travel (leisure) time in order to calculate the travel costs associated with a recreational activity. Most recreation demand studies use a fraction of the wage rate extracted from the gross income variable for the sample population, in calculating the opportunity cost of travel time and each individuals overall travel cost. However, we use each individuals potential hourly wage, as predicted by an earnings model from a secondary dataset, based upon that persons actual socio-economic characteristics. These travel cost estimates are then used in a multi-nomial logit random utility site choice model to calculate the demand for whitewater kayaking in Ireland. We also use the whitewater site choice models to estimate the welfare impacts of a number of different management scenarios.

description: This paper offers evidence relevant to the debate regarding the use of stated willingnessto- pay as a guide to public preferences about environmental management, and the possibility that individuals have distinct preferences according to whether a consumer or a citizen viewpoint is adopted. Multiple-use forest management requires some means of comparing market and non-market forest outputs. With this in mind, attempts are found in the economics literature to reveal public preferences for non-market forest outputs in terms of willingness to pay using contingent valuation studies. On the other hand, it has also been argued in the literature that estimated willingness to pay is not an appropriate or reliable way to capture public preferences. Visitors to a UK forest were surveyed and the forest managers were interviewed. In addition to willingness to pay for productive and recreational forest sites with varying non-market outputs, respondents reported on preferences for forest attributes from both a private/consumer and a social/citizen viewpoint. Our results tend to support the hypothesis that individuals express different preferences when adopting a consumer and a citizen viewpoint, and that the latter viewpoint gives more weight to attributes with less direct and obvious visual appeal. Despite this, visitors' willingness-to-pay estimates varied little whether consumer or citizen explanatory variables were used, and visitors' ranking of the sites on this basis differed from the ranking of forest managers. These results suggest that the consumer/citizen distinction is important, and that valuable information regarding public preferences is omitted if willingness-to-pay alone is used as a guide to decision-making.

description: The fluorine abundance of the Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) star HE 1305+0132 has been derived by analysis of the molecular HF (1-0) R9 line at 2.3357 microns in a high-resolution (R = 50,000) spectrum obtained with the Phoenix spectrometer and Gemini-South telescope. Our abundance analysis makes use of a CNO-enhanced ATLAS12 model atmosphere characterized by a metallicity and CNO enhancements determined utilizing medium-resolution (R = 3,000) optical and near-IR spectra. The effective iron abundance is found to be [Fe/H] = -2.5, making HE 1305+0132 the most Fe-deficient star, by more than an order of magnitude, for which the abundance of fluorine has been measured. Using spectral synthesis, we derive a super-solar fluorine abundance of A(19F) = 4.96 +/- 0.21, corresponding to a relative abundance of [F/Fe] = 2.90. A single line of the Phillips C_2 system is identified in our Phoenix spectrum, and along with multiple lines of the first-overtone vibration-rotation CO (3-1) band head, C and O abundances of A(12C) = 8.57 +/- 0.11 and A(16O) = 7.04 +/- 0.14 are derived. We consider the striking fluorine overabundance in the framework of the nucleosynthetic processes thought to be responsible for the C-enhancement of CEMP stars and conclude that the atmosphere of HE 1305+0132 was polluted via mass transfer by a primary companion during its asymptotic giant branch phase. This is the first study of fluorine in a CEMP star, and it demonstrates that this rare nuclide can be a key diagnostic of nucleosynthetic processes in the early Galaxy.

description: We study holomorphic Poisson manifolds and holomorphic Lie algebroids from the viewpoint of real Poisson geometry. We give a characterization of holomorphic Poisson structures in terms of the Poisson Nijenhuis structures of Magri-Morosi and describe a double complex which computes the holomorphic Poisson cohomology. A holomorphic Lie algebroid structure on a vector bundle $A\to X$ is shown to be equivalent to a matched pair of complex Lie algebroids $(T^{0,1}X,A^{1,0})$, in the sense of Lu. The holomorphic Lie algebroid cohomology of $A$ is isomorphic to the cohomology of the elliptic Lie algebroid $T^{0,1}X\bowtie A^{1,0}$. In the case when $(X,π)$ is a holomorphic Poisson manifold and $A=(T^*X)_π$, such an elliptic Lie algebroid coincides with the Dirac structure corresponding to the associated generalized complex structure of the holomorphic Poisson manifold.

description: Algorithmic trading and artificial stock markets have generated huge interest not only among brokers and traders in the financial markets but also across various disciplines in the academia. The emergence of algorithmic trading has created a new environment where the classic way of trading requires new approaches. In order to understand the impact of such a trading process on the functioning of the market, new tools, theories and approaches need to be created. Thus artificial stock markets have emerged as simulation environments to test, understand and model the impact of algorithmic trading, where humans and software agents may compete on the same market. The purpose of this paper is to create a framework to test and analyse various trading strategies in a dedicated artificial environment.

description: An important ``observable'' of planar N=4 SYM theory is the scaling function f(lambda) that appears in the anomalous dimension of large spin twist 2 operators and also in the cusp anomaly of light-like Wilson loops. The non-trivial relation between the anomalous dimension and the Wilson interpretations of f(lambda) is well-understood on the perturbative gauge theory side of the AdS/CFT duality. In the first part of this paper we present the dual string-theory counterpart of this relation, to all orders in lambda^(-1/2) expansion. As a check, we explicitly compute the leading 1-loop string sigma model correction to the cusp Wilson loop, reproducing the same subleading coefficient in f(lambda) as found earlier in the spinning closed string case. The same function f(lambda) appears also in the resummed form of the 4-gluon amplitude as discussed at weak coupling by Bern, Dixon and Smirnov and recently found at the leading order at strong coupling by Alday and Maldacena (AM). Here we attempt to extend this approach to subleading order in lambda^(-1/2) by computing the IR singular part of 1-loop string correction to the corresponding T-dual Wilson loop. We discuss explicitly the 1-cusp case and comment on apparent problems with the dimensional regularization proposal of AM when directly applied order by order in strong coupling (inverse string tension) expansion.

description: Multi-attribute revealed preference data is used to investigate the heterogeneity of tastes in a sample of kayakers, in relation to eleven whitewater sites in Ireland. The paper focuses on a comparison of the analysis of preference heterogeneity using a random parameter logit model and a latent class model. We assess and contrast the evidence for the presence of a finite number of 2, 3, 4 and 5 latent preference groups (classes), and contrast these with the presence of a continuous distribution of parameter estimates using the random parameter logit model. Welfare estimates associated with changes in the attributes of particular whitewater sites are also presented, and are found to vary considerably depending on the approach taken..

description: We study -- within the framework of propositional proof complexity -- the problem of certifying unsatisfiability of CNF formulas under the promise that any satisfiable formula has many satisfying assignments, where ``many'' stands for an explicitly specified function $\Lam$ in the number of variables $n$. To this end, we develop propositional proof systems under different measures of promises (that is, different $\Lam$) as extensions of resolution. This is done by augmenting resolution with axioms that, roughly, can eliminate sets of truth assignments defined by Boolean circuits. We then investigate the complexity of such systems, obtaining an exponential separation in the average-case between resolution under different size promises: 1. Resolution has polynomial-size refutations for all unsatisfiable 3CNF formulas when the promise is $\eps\cd2^n$, for any constant $0

Factor analysis processing of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectra recorded using a photodiode array spectrometer
Creators: name: Wirsz, Douglas Franklin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Multivariate methods have been developed to assist in the interpretation of multiwavelength spectral data. When carrying out an elemental analysis by optical emission spectrometry, the analyst is faced with a choice of many spectral lines on which to base the analysis. The problem of choosing a suitable line depends upon other components in the sample, as some of these lines may suffer from spectral interferences, depending upon the nature of the sample matrix. The selection of the most suitable line for the determination of a desired component is conventionally accomplished by consulting tables of spectral emissions, and selecting a line on the basis of freedom from spectral overlap, taking into consideration the bandwidth of the spectrometer. Unfortunately, many weaker lines are not tabulated, although they may nevertheless interfere if the interfering element is at a high enough concentration. As well, emissions from sample-specific species, such as molecular species, will not be tabulated. As the possibility that a spectral line will cause a significant interference depends upon interferent concentration, the analyst has previously required detailed knowledge of the nature of other components in a sample. The methods developed in this thesis facilitate the determination of a desired component in binary, ternary, or more complex mixtures without prior knowledge of the nature of any interfering components. This automatic line selection allows the matrix-dependent tailoring of the lines chosen to the element or elements of interest. Factor analysis determines those wavelengths where an unidentified interferent contributes to the measured intensity. A multivariate analysis based on selected wavelengths gives the concentrations of all desired components while avoiding error in these concentrations due to interferents. Using a related method, the best analytical line for the determination of a specified analyte is selected from a set of lines on the basis of the least interference in a particular sample matrix, by several cycles of mathematical analysis. Unsuitable lines are rejected in the first few cycles, the best lines being retained until last. A multivariate analysis after each cycle provides an updated estimate of the analyte concentration. As with other methods in this thesis, this process is performed without reference to spectral tables. Application of these methods to a recently developed high resolution photodiode array based polychromator system is also discussed. This has consequences for the design and selection of spectral masks to assist in multielement analysis on this spectrometer. In the course of development of these multivariate methods, the need for improved dynamic range in the photodiode array was seen. An algorithm for the generation of dynamic range enhanced photodiode array spectra has been developed and implemented.

Ειδικότερα, εφαρμόσθηκε η μέθοδος του δυναμικού προγραμματισμού, για την εφαρμογή της οποίας απαιτήθηκε η κατασκευή προγράμματος σε Visual Fortran. Εξετάσθηκαν τρία αρδευτικά δίκτυα της περιοχής Καβασίλων της τέως λίμνης Γιαννιτσών και τα αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν συγκρίθηκαν με τα αποτελέσματα που υπολογίστηκαν από τον γραμμικό προγραμματισμό. Στη συνέχεια, έγινε εφαρμογή της ασαφούς λογικής στο ίδιο πρόβλημα. Η εφαρμογή της έγινε αρχικώς με τη χρήση του ασαφούς γραμμικού προγραμματισμού, ενώ στη συνέχεια κατασκευάστηκε μία μεθοδολογία ασαφούς δυναμικού προγραμματισμού για την περίπτωση των αρδευτικών δικτύων. Σαν ασάφεια στο πρόβλημά αυτό ορίστηκε η απαιτούμενη πίεση στις υδροληψίες. Τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν είναι τα ακόλουθα: α) στην περίπτωση επίλυσης των αρδευτικών δικτύων με συμβατικούς αριθμούς, η μέθοδος του δυναμικού προγραμματισμού δίνει το βέλτιστο αποτέλεσμα για δίκτυα μεγαλύτερα των 80 αγωγών, β) για τις περιπτώσεις μικρών δικτύων ενδείκνυται ο γραμμικός προγραμματισμός, γ) στην περίπτωση του προβλήματος με ασαφείς αριθμούς, ο ασαφής δυναμικός προγραμματισμός αποτελεί μονόδρομο για δίκτυα μεγαλύτερα των 40 αγωγών και τα εξαγόμενα αποτελέσματα ικανοποιούσαν πλήρως τις ασάφειες που ορίστηκαν στο πρόβλημα αυτό.
description: The aim of this study is the economic optimization of pressurized irrigation networks with conventional and fuzzy numbers. In particular, the method of dynamic programming was utilized, the implementation of which required the development of a program in Visual Fortran. The program was applied in three irrigation networks in the area of Kavasila (the former lake Giannitsa) and the results were compared with the results calculated by linear programming. Fuzzy logic was then applied to the same problem. First the problem was approached utilizing fuzzy linear programming. Next, a fuzzy dynamic programming methodology was constructed for the case of irrigation networks. The uncertainty to our problem was the pressure required at hydrants. The conclusions are as follows: a) in the case of solving irrigation networks by conventional numbers, the method of dynamic programming gives the best results for irrigation networks of 80 or more pipelines, b) for the case of small networks, the use of linear programming is preferable, c) in cases of problems with fuzzy numbers, it was found that fuzzy dynamic programming is the only viable method in terms of calculating difficulty (for networks of 40 or more pipelines) and the results fully satisfied the uncertainties defined in our problem.

description: Diagrammatic Monte Carlo approach is applied to a problem of a single spin-down fermion resonantly interacting with the sea of ideal spin-up fermions. On one hand, we develop a generic, sign-problem tolerant, method of exact numerical solution of polaron-type models. On the other hand, our solution is important for understanding the phase diagram and properties of the BCS-BEC crossover in the strongly imbalanced regime. This is the first, and possibly characteristic, example of how the Monte Carlo approach can be applied to a divergent sign-alternating diagrammatic series.

description: Bauxite contains a small amount of vanadium, which gets leached and accumulated in the circulating liquor, in the Bayer’s process. The vanadium can be extracted and recovered from the leachate, once a certain concentration is reached. In order to estimate the vanadium present in different streams, flow and concentration measurements are made. Errors in measured data may be due to instrumental error, known as, gross error, or due to other unidentified sources, known as random error. Measurement error may sometime lead to poor performance of the plant. The erroneous data need to be identified and corrected prior to process optimization. Data reconciliation is a scientific technique to improve the accuracy of measured data on the basis of mass as well as, energy balance equations. In addition, it can be used for estimating the unmeasured data. In the present work, a simplified flowsheet of Bayer’s process was prepared. The flow rates and samples of some of the streams were collected from an operating plant. The chemical analysis of the liquid and solid samples were carried out to determine the vanadium concentration. Mass balance equations for vanadium of all the nodes were carried out, which were considered as the constraints. The reconciled flow rate and concentration values were obtained by minimizing the objective function, which is the sum of the square of the deviation be- tween the measured and the reconciled values, fulfilling the mass balance constraints. The sequential quadratic programming technique has been applied to solve the mass balance constraints and the objective function to obtain reconciled data along with the estimation of unmeasured data in the flow sheet. A total of 31 streams have been considered in this work. A balanced flowsheet with solids / liquid flow rate, and vanadium concentration for each stream was obtained.

description: Το κυρίως θέμα του διδακτορικού αυτού είναι η μέτρηση της ενεργού διατομής της παραγωγής ζεύγους μποζονίων Ζ σε ενέργεια κέντρου μάζας 7 TeV, αναλύοντας τα πρώτα δεδομένα του ΑΤΛΑΣ. Για να επιτευχθεί αυτός ο στόχος, ο συγγραφέας έχει καταπιαστεί με διάφορα θέματα της πειραματικής φυσικής υψηλών ενεργειών. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, έχει ασχοληθεί με τεχνικά θέματα που αφορούν τον ίδιο τον ανιχνευτή βελτιώνοντας τη διακριτική ικανότητα της μέτρησης της θέσης και του χρόνου καταγραφής δεδομένων από τους Καθοδικούς Θαλάμους Λωρίδων, έχει μελετήσει τη διαδικασία του Κεθιερωμένου Προτύπου που αποτελεί κλειδί στις μετέπειτα διερευνήσεις του και μελέτησε εξονυχιστικά Monte Carlo δείγματα για την κατανόηση τόσο της διαδικασίας που τον απασχολεί όσο και του υποβάθρου που την συνοδεύει. Επιπρόσθετα η διατριβή αυτή ερευνά για την ύπαρξη βαρυτονίων και διπλά φορτισμένων σωματιδίων Higgs, τα οποία προβλέπονται από θεωρίες πέραν του Καθιερωμένου Προτύπου.
description: This PhD thesis has taken up various aspects in experimental particle physics by analyzing the first data of the ATLAS detector. The main subject of the thesis is the production cross section measurement of the ZZ process at 7 ΤeV center of mass energy of proton-proton collisions. In order to study this, the author has contributed to various topics, such as detector related issues, the study of standard candle processes and Monte Carlo studies. In specific, this thesis presents a detailed study for the improvement of the hit position and peaking time resolution of the Cathode Strip Chambers, it contributes to the first Z inclusive cross section measurement at 7 TeV center of mass energy and it studies the different background sources contributing to the process of interest. Moreover the current thesis searches for doubly charged Higgs bosons and the Randal-Sundrum Graviton, which are predicted from models beyond the Standard Model.

title: A Model for Regulatory Intervention in Irish Banking
Creators: name: O'Sullivan, K.P.V.
Publisher: name: National University of Ireland, Galway
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Economics

description: The banking system is currently experiencing an unprecedented phase of regulatory transition in order to address persistent market failures. This paper documents the need for better regulation in Irish banking and presents a framework that incorporates the competitiveness, efficiency and stability of the banking system. It explores the potential application of the regulation impact assessment technique and proposes the adoption of a comprehensive planning, impact analysis, enforcement and reviewing (PIER) model to aid in the development and management of a robust and balanced regulatory environment.

description: Using and Producing Ideas in Computable Endogenous Growth It is shown that Paul Romer's suggestion to model algorithmically the use and production of ideas in an endogenous growth model is formally feasible. Such a modelling exercise imparts a natural evolutionary flavour to growth models. However, it is also shown that the policy implications are formally indeterminate in a precise and effective sense.

Fundamental studies and spectral simulation of the inductively coupled argon plasma
Creators: name: Burton, Lyle Lorrence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The objectives of this work are twofold: firstly, to understand the inductively coupled argon plasma (icp) from a fundamental point of view and, secondly, to attempt to put that knowledge to practical use. In an effort to realize this first objective, a simple two-level rate model was developed which allows the estimation of the deviations (due to radiative decay) of analyte level populations in the icp from local thermodynamic equilibrium (lte). The results were found to agree very well with experiment for analyte elements (Fe, Cr and Ba) which did not exhibit charge transfer with the argon support gas. A comprehensive study of magnesium excited-state level populations was performed. It was found that charge transfer between argon ions and ground state magnesium atoms caused ionic magnesium to be overpopulated (with respect to the simple rate model calculations mentioned above). It was also found that, due to appreciable self-absorption, argon itself conforms to an lte model. Electron temperatures (Te) were measured in the icp. It was found that, for electron densities greater than about 2x10¹⁵ cm⁻³, Te was within experimental uncertainty of the so-called lte temperature (Te,lte - calculated from the electron density). At lower electron densities, due to the large experimental errors involved, it was difficult to draw definitive conclusions regarding their agreement. The plasma was also extensively characterized when an extra argon flow was added to the aerosol gas. It was found that at low values of the aerosol gas flow rate, mixing between it and the plasma gas was relatively complete, whereas at higher flow rates there was relatively little mixing. It was also found that the introduction of water into the plasma had a limited effect on sample excitation. In order to fulfil the second objective, a method was developed to simulate emission spectra from an icp. The method involved the use of a computer program, which worked by combining basic physical data for atomic species, the results of icp fundamental studies, and a realistic instrumental line profile (described in detail). The method was used to simulate a hypothetical silver determination in NBS coal fly ash showing the effects of spectrometer bandpass, silver concentration, and line choice on spectral overlaps.

description: Αντικείμενο της διατριβής είναι η μελέτη της απάτης ως λόγου ακυρωσίας μιας δήλωσης βούλησης ή μιας δικαιοπραξίας. Μετά την εισαγωγή ακολουθεί το πρώτο μέρος της διατριβής, στο οποίο εξετάζονται αναλυτικά τα στοιχεία της νομοτυπικής μορφής της ΑΚ 147 εδ. α΄, η οποία αποτελεί τη βασική ρύθμιση του αστικού κώδικα για την απάτη. Στα στοιχεία της παραπάνω νομοτυπικής μορφής εντάσσονται, μεταξύ άλλων, η απάτη αυτή καθεαυτή, καθώς και τα εμπλεκόμενα στην όλη κατάσταση πρόσωπα. Τέτοιο πρόσωπο αποτελεί και ο «τρίτος» εξαπατών της ΑΚ 147 εδ. β΄, του οποίου προσδιορίζεται η έννοια και επιπρόσθετα παρατίθεται περιπτωσιολογία «τρίτων» που εντοπίζονται σε ποικίλους χώρους του αστικού δικαίου. Στο δεύτερο μέρος της διατριβής, αναλύονται οι έννομες συνέπειες της απάτης και η σχέση τους προς άλλες έννομες συνέπειες. Ως πρώτη έννομη συνέπεια εξετάζεται το δικαίωμα ακύρωσης του εξαπατηθέντος. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάζεται η δεύτερη και τελευταία έννομη συνέπεια της απάτης, που είναι το δικαίωμα αποζημίωσης του εξαπατηθέντος κατά τους όρους της ΑΚ 149 εδ. α΄ και β΄. Η διατριβή ολοκληρώνεται με την εξέταση της σχέσης της ακυρωσίας και της αποζημίωσης, ως έννομων συνεπειών της απάτης, προς άλλες έννομες συνέπειες.
description: The topic of the doctoral thesis is the study of deceit as ground for rescission of a declaration of will or a juridical act. The introduction is followed by the first part of the thesis, where the prerequisites of Article 147 sub-para a CC (Civil Code) –the basic rule of the civil code for the deceit– are examined thoroughly. Prerequisites of Article 147 sub-para a CC are inter alia the deceit itself as well as the persons involved in the whole situation. The “third party” who deceives according to Article 147 sub-para b CC is such a person. The meaning of the “third party” is given and moreover examples of “third parties” across the civil law are quoted. In the second part of the thesis, the legal consequences of deceit and their relation to other legal consequences are analyzed. First of all the right of the deceived person to rescind, as legal consequence of deceit, is considered. Afterwards the second and last legal consequence of deceit, the right of the deceived person to be compensated for damages, according to Article 149 sub-para a and b CC, is presented. The doctoral thesis ends after analyzing the relation of rescission and damages, as legal consequences of deceit, to other legal consequences.

description: Additional file 15: Figure S8. WMS alignment results of genes from two cobalamin synthesis operons in the Flavonifractor sp. 54 assembly. a) Genomic ANI to Flavonifractor sp. 54 vs. gene alignment coverage of each gene. b) Genomic breadth of coverage (in % of genome) vs. gene alignment coverage. c) Average genomic depth of sequencing vs. gene alignment coverage. These results suggest that our choice of a 75% gene coverage threshold for gene presence was conservative as OTU41-containing samples with low OTU41 abundance and/or sequencing depth tended to not meet this threshold despite modest evidence for these genes being present.
