description: This case study is intended for use by undergraduates studying agribusiness and agricultural economics. The case introduces a firm whose products are minor ingredients for an iconic, but declining food item. The learning outcomes sought from this case is to: i) understand the structural changes in the meat industry and its implications on the production and demand for hot dogs; ii) examine the sources of competitive advantage faced by ingredient suppliers; and iii) analyze the elements of organizational change and the adaptive solutions in a declining market. The study, inter alia, includes concepts from agribusiness strategic management (i.e., industry driving forces, economic market structure, and competitive advantage), and supply chain management to examine the firm and industry.

subject: value chains

description: The first part of the paper discusses changes that occurred in the world market for bananas in recent years. These changes include successive modifications of the EU import regime for bananas (the EU is the single largest importer of bananas, with a quarter of the world market), innovations in sea shipment modes, increased concentration of the retail sector, and the expansion of the demand in developed countries for environmentally friendly and Fair Trade bananas. The implications of these changes for the distribution of the value among the actors at the different links of the global chain for bananas are discussed in detail. The second part of the paper focuses on banana exports from Cameroon, a value chain representative of ‘traditional’ chains in which large multinationals maintain a central role.

description: This paper attempts to examine and revisit the trends in agricultural productivity in Botswana. Using secondary data from six regions of Botswana for the period 1979 to 2012, we estimate components of total factor productivity (TFP) using the Färe-Primont index. Estimates of technical change and changes in technical efficiency, scale efficiency and mix efficiency are obtained. The results show that the annual TFP has declined gradually over the period, predominantly due to a decline in technical efficiency and a slight decline in mix efficiency and scale efficiency. The regions with a significant proportion of arable agriculture performed worse than those that specialise in livestock production, thus confirming the comparative advantage of extensive livestock production in semi-arid countries such as Botswana. This study shows how the finer decomposition of TFP into different measures may assist in the identification of the main drivers of productivity and associated policies.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: We have imaged an empty area of 34'x34' one and a half degree north of the Virgo cluster core to survey for intracluster planetary nebula candidates. We have implemented and tested a fully automatic procedure for the selection of emission line objects in wide-field images, based on the on-off technique from Ciardullo and Jacoby. Freeman et al. have spectroscopically confirmed a sample of intracluster planetary nebulae in one Virgo field. We use the photometric and morphological properties of this sample to test our selection procedure. In our newly surveyed Virgo field, 75 objects were identified as best candidates for intracluster PNe. The luminosity function of the spectroscopically confirmed PNe shows a brighter cut-off than the planetary nebula luminosity function for the inner regions of M87. Such a brighter cut-off is also observed in the newly surveyed field and indicates a smaller distance modulus, implying that the front end of the Virgo cluster is closer to us by a significant amount: 14% closer (2.1 Mpc) than M87 for the spectroscopic field, using the PN luminosity function distance of 14.9 Mpc to M87, and 19% closer (2.8 Mpc) than M87 for the newly surveyed field. Independent distance indicators (Tully-Fisher relation for Virgo spirals and surface brightness fluctuations for Virgo ellipticals) agree with these findings. From these two Virgo cluster fields there is no evidence that the surface luminosity density for the diffuse stellar component in the cluster decreases with radius. The luminosity surface density of the diffuse stellar population is comparable to that of the galaxies.

Power-law Sersic profiles in hydrostatic stellar galaxy discs

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Previously, we showed that surface density profiles of the form of a power-law times a Sersic function satisfy the hydrostatic Jeans equations, a variety of observational constraints, and the condition of a minimal radial entropy profile in two-dimensional galaxy discs with fixed power-law, halo potentials. It was assumed that such density profiles are generated by star scattering by clumps, waves, or other inhomogeneities. Here we generalize these models to self-gravitating discs. The cylindrically symmetric Poisson equation imposes strong constraints. Scattering processes favor smoothness, so the smoothest solutions, which minimize entropy gradients, are preferred. In the case of self-gravitating discs (e.g., inner discs), the gravity, surface density and radial velocity dispersion in these smoothest models are all of the form 1/r times an exponential. When vertical balance is included, the vertical velocity dispersion squared has the same form as the surface density, and the scale height is constant. In combined self-gravitating plus halo gravity cases, the radial dispersion has an additional power-law term. Nonetheless, the surface density profile has the same form at all radii, without breaks, satisfying the disc-halo conspiracy. The azimuthal velocity and velocity dispersions are smooth, though the former can have a distinct peak. In these models the vertical dispersion increases inwards, and scattering may mediate a transition to a secular bulge. If halo gravity dominates vertically in the outer disc, it flares. The models suggest a correlation between disc mass and radial scale length. The combination of smoothness, simplicity, ability to match generic observational features and physical constraints is unique to these models.

description: Wind power development is increasing dramatically because of New York’s Renewable Portfolio Standard. This standard will make it necessary for New York’s utilities to increase their use of renewable energy by more than 50%. As a result, wind power developers are seeking new sites for wind power generation in New York. This bulletin is intended to be used as a resource by private landowners in New York State who are concerned about wind development’s implications. It guides the landowner step- by- step through the process of wind development on private property. It starts with suggestions for the preliminary stages of development where the landowner interacts with the community and begins contemplating the effects of wind power on a local level. It then outlines the early development phases when wind development firms begin testing sites on private land. It discusses the issues in the lease negotiations that take place when a development firm wishes to obtain the right to access and build on private property. The landowner deserves a contract that is equitable and profitable, and mitigates unnecessary risks. The appendices summarize the entire wind development process in the form of a table, provide resources for further information, present a glossary of terms, and supply sample compensation provisions in a lease agreement. Readers should consult with their own legal or financial advisors to ensure that the choices they make best fit their individual needs. Incidentally, we would like to offer special thanks to those who contributed to this work by sharing their experiences pertaining to wind energy development.
Intersecting D5-brane models with massive vector-like leptons

description: We construct eight-stack intersecting D5-brane models, with an orbifold transverse space, that yield the (non-supersymmetric) standard model up to vector-like leptons. The matter includes right-chiral neutrinos and the models have the renormalisable Yukawa couplings to tachyonic Higgs doublets needed to generate mass terms for {\it all} matter, including the vector-like leptons. The models are constrained by the requirement that twisted tadpoles cancel, that the gauge boson coupled to the weak hypercharge $U(1)_Y$ does not get a string-scale mass via a generalised Green-Schwarz mechanism, and that there are no surviving, unwanted gauged U(1) symmetries coupled to matter. Gauge coupling constant ratios close to those measured are easily obtained for reasonable values of the parameters, consistently with having the string scale close to the electroweak scale, as required to avoid the hierarchy problem. Unwanted (colour-triplet, charged-singlet, and neutral-singlet) scalar tachyons can be removed by a suitable choice of the parameters.

Anschließend sollen die Technologien anhand des Aufwands, der Ressourcennutzung und der Performance, sowie der IT-Sicherheit betrachtet werden. Zur Feststellung der Aufwände soll eine Umfrage erstellt werden, in der ein Entwickler oder Betreuer des jeweiligen Themenbereichs den Aufwand für ein Set an gegebenen Aufgaben schätzt. Für die Ermittlung der Performance sollen mehrere Leistungsparameter anhand von verschiedenen Performancetests betrachtet werden. Da die im DMC-Umfeld betriebenen Services, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, Linux-basiert sind [Anhang W], soll sich der Vergleich auf diese fokussieren. Basierend auf den im Vergleich erarbeiteten Erkenntnissen soll final eine Entschei-dungshilfe für die Auswahl der Virtualisierungstechnologie von bestehenden und zukünftigen IT-Services erstellt werden. Die entstandene Entscheidungshilfe soll innerhalb dieser Arbeit beispielhaft auf eine Angular-basierte Webanwendung [4] und die Business Process Management Software inubit BPM [5] angewendet werden. Angular und inubit BPM werden in Abschnitt 3.3 noch genauer eingeführt.

description: CHARA GLOBULARIS
Oospores of Chara globularis analyzed in this study were on average prolate (elongated) and ellipsoidal. The color varied from dark brown to black – from approximately RAL 8022 (black-brown), through RAL 9004 (signal black) to RAL 9005 (jet black) (Fig. 3A). The membrane of the oospore was brownish and slightly granular. A total number of 94 oospores was measured and included in the analysis – 54 from the vicinity of Bela Crkva (DP and SL) and 40 from the SNR Gornje Podunavlje (GPL1).
Oospore parameters of Chara globularis in relation to localities where this species was found are shown in Figure 4. The analysis (F = 2.1, P = 0.002) described 32% variability in our data. The sampling localities are clearly separated, as can be seen on the ordination diagram. Oospore parameters of Chara globularis are clearly negatively correlated with GPL1 and oriented toward the left side of the ordination diagram showing a positive correlation with DP and SL localities. More precisely, higher values of the width of the fossa, (ISI and LPA) were related to SL, while higher values of LED, ANI, number of ridges and AND were connected to the DP locality. Multivariate analysis clearly highlighted intraspecific (i.e., interpopulation) variability of C. globularis oospore parameters, pointing out that all parameters had higher values in specimens found in vicinity of Bela Crkva (SL and DP) in comparison to the remote locality in SNR Gornje Podunavlje (GPL1). The variability of measured parameters was clearly visible even between populations from geographically close localities (SL and DP).

description: We consider bipartite entangled states that cannot outperform separable states in any linear interferometer. Then, we show that these states can still be more useful metrologically than separable states if several copies of the state are provided or an ancilla is added to the quantum system. We present a general method to find the local Hamiltonian for which a given quantum state performs the best compared to separable states. We obtain analytically the optimal Hamiltonian for some quantum states with a high symmetry. We show that all bipartite entangled pure states outperform separable states in metrology. Some potential applications of the results are also suggested.

description: The Zwin is a relatively small tidal inlet connected to the North Sea through a tidal channel. The inlet is flooded twice a day and is characterized by the presence of intertidal area with sand banks and salt marshes. From August 2016 until the opening of the dyke in February 2019, large intervention works were carried out to reduce the sediment silting and accretion processes by increasing the amount of water flowing in and out of the inlet (i.e. tidal prism). This project aims to evaluate the success of the intervention work and to improve our understanding on the morphodynamics of the Zwin. Detailed topographic and hydrodynamic measurements were carried out in the entrance and inland inlet units before and after the opening of the dyke. The results indicate significant morphological changes in the entire inlet system where the channel has become deeper and wider. Although a high spatial variability with the onshore mobility of the sandy bedforms occurs in the entrance inlet, the sediment balance is stable there. In contrast, the inland inlet spatially experiences two morphological trends with the dominance of erosion in the middle and east side while accretion takes place westward. Future topographic and hydrodynamic monitoring will allow to monitor further the morphological response and to investigate the contribution of the different driving processes in the Zwin inlet.

description: Apart from direct economic impacts, development projects have complex social and environmental impacts among which sustainability plays a major role. The Gallito Ciego reservoir was built to increase and improve agricultural production at the Jequetepeque valley in Peru. Cost-benefit analysis of rice production from 1992 to 2007 is used to measure the immediate economic impact of the project. Also, a matrix of other relevant impact indicators is constructed to expose changes in the project’s environment during its life cycle. The main conclusion is that, even though there is a significant positive increase in income from agricultural production, the social and environmental impacts are not necessarily positive.

description: In this work, we design a type of controller that consists of adding a specific set of reactions to an existing mass-action chemical reaction network in order to control a target species. This set of reactions is effective for both deterministic and stochastic networks, in the latter case controlling the mean as well as the variance of the target species. We employ a type of network property called absolute concentration robustness (ACR). We provide applications to the control of a multisite phosphorylation model as well as a receptor-ligand signaling system. For this framework, we use the so-called deficiency zero theorem from chemical reaction network theory as well as multiscaling model reduction methods. We show that the target species has approximately Poisson distribution with the desired mean. We further show that ACR controllers can bring robust perfect adaptation to a target species and are complementary to a recently introduced antithetic feedback controller used for stochastic chemical reactions.

 Bebryce cinerea Deichmann, 1936:126; Plate 8 fig. 5; Plate 10 figs.1–8.
 Material examined. SERTC 2856, 76 m, off Charleston, SC, August 7, 2003.
 Remarks. The examined specimen of Bebryce cinerea displays a branching, planar growth form, approximately 67 mm in height with stems reaching 2–3 mm width. The colony was yellow in life and yellow-brown when preserved in ethanol. The calyces are cylindrical and reach lengths of 2 mm with 1 mm widths and are more or less crowded along two sides of the branches in a loosely alternating manner. Most of the polyps are partly contracted, but are apparently retractile (Deichmann 1936).
The outer coenenchyme contains small, cup-shaped rosette sclerites with warty bases, and are oriented with the concavity facing away from the axis. The inner coenenchyme contains some rod-like spindles and warty stellate plates with a central knob or boss. The knobbed plates vary in shape from 4-6 armed stars to multi-lobed amoeboid masses. The calyx contains numerous echinulate rods projecting upward around the rim, which are only visible when the polyps are retracted. These rods have one tuberculated, flattened, slightly lobed end; the opposite end is bluntly rounded, and occasionally flattened and/or bifurcated at the tip. The anthocodiae contain curved, elongate rods in a collaret and points arrangement. All sclerites are colorless.
The specimen examined for this work is the only record north of the Bahamas on the east coast of the Unites States and was collected, attached to a rock, by a manned submersible.

description: From the principle of maximum entropy for a closed system in thermal equilibrium, for the first instance a clear relation is shown to exist between total entropy S (in terms of arrangements of particles) and the classical expression for the force acting on a particle in a rotating frame. We determine relationships between arrangement of particles and force in the case of the gravitational and elastic forces.

Deconcentration without Integration: Examining the Social Outcomes of Housing Choice Voucher Movement in Los Angeles County

description: This article reports on the social experiences of tenants moving from low–income neighborhoods in the City of Los Angeles to a racially mixed, lower poverty suburb—the Antelope Valley—using Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. Voucher tenants experience significant social exclusion and aggressive oversight. Local residents use racial shorthand to label their black neighbors as voucher holders and apply additional scrutiny to their activity. They aggressively report voucher tenants to the housing authority and police, instigating inspections that threaten tenants’ voucher status. Tenants react to these circumstances by withdrawing from their communities in order to avoid scrutiny and protect their status in the program. These findings illustrate that the social difficulties documented in mixed–income developments may also exist in voucher programs, highlight the ways in which neighborhood effects may be extended to include social experiences, and suggest the limits of the voucher program to translate geographic mobility into socioeconomic progress.

description: Click-through rate (CTR) prediction is an essential task in web applications such as online advertising and recommender systems, whose features are usually in multi-field form. The key of this task is to model feature interactions among different feature fields. Recently proposed deep learning based models follow a general paradigm: raw sparse input multi-filed features are first mapped into dense field embedding vectors, and then simply concatenated together to feed into deep neural networks (DNN) or other specifically designed networks to learn high-order feature interactions. However, the simple \emph{unstructured combination} of feature fields will inevitably limit the capability to model sophisticated interactions among different fields in a sufficiently flexible and explicit fashion. In this work, we propose to represent the multi-field features in a graph structure intuitively, where each node corresponds to a feature field and different fields can interact through edges. The task of modeling feature interactions can be thus converted to modeling node interactions on the corresponding graph. To this end, we design a novel model Feature Interaction Graph Neural Networks (Fi-GNN). Taking advantage of the strong representative power of graphs, our proposed model can not only model sophisticated feature interactions in a flexible and explicit fashion, but also provide good model explanations for CTR prediction. Experimental results on two real-world datasets show its superiority over the state-of-the-arts.

description: It is well known that algebro-geometric solutions of the KdV hierarchy are constructed from the Riemann theta functions associated with hyperelliptic curves, and that soliton solutions can be obtained by rational (singular) limits of the corresponding curves. In this paper, we discuss a class of KP solitons in connections with space curves, which are labeled by certain types of numerical semigroups. In particular, we show that some class of the (singular and complex) KP solitons of the $l$-th generalized KdV hierarchy with $l\ge 2$ is related to the rational space curves associated with the numerical semigroup $\langle l,lm+1,\dots, lm+k\rangle$, where $m\ge 1$ and $1\le k\le l-1$. We also calculate the Schur polynomial expansions of the $τ$-functions for those KP solitons. Moreover, we construct smooth curves by deforming the singular curves associated with the soliton solutions. For these KP solitons, we also construct the space curve from a commutative ring of differential operators in the sense of the well-known Burchnall-Chaundy theory.
Low-Energy Linear Structures in Dense Oxygen: Implications for the $ε$-phase

description: Using density functional theory implemented within the generalized gradient approximation, a new non-magnetic insulating ground state of solid oxygen is proposed and found to be energetically favored at pressures corresponding to the $ε$-phase. The newly-predicted ground state is composed of linear herringbone-type chains of O$_2$ molecules and has {\it Cmcm} symmetry (with an alternative monoclinic cell). Importantly, this phase supports IR-active zone-center phonons, and their computed frequencies are found to be in broad agreement with recent infrared absorption experiments.

Alexander's Wholeness as the Scientific Foundation of Sustainable Urban Design and Planning

description: As Christopher Alexander conceived and defined through his life's work - The Nature of Order - wholeness is a recursive structure that recurs in space and matter and is reflected in human minds and cognition. Based on the definition of wholeness, a mathematical model of wholeness, together with its topological representation, has been developed, and it is able to address not only why a structure is beautiful, but also how much beauty the structure has. Given the circumstance, this paper is attempted to argue for the wholeness as the scientific foundation of sustainable urban design and planning, with the help of the mathematical model and topological representation. We start by introducing the wholeness as a mathematical structure of physical space that pervasively exists in our surroundings, along with two fundamental laws - scaling law and Tobler's law - that underlie the 15 properties for characterizing and making living structures. We argue that urban design and planning can be considered to be wholeness-extending processes, guided by two design principles of differentiation and adaptation, to transform a space - in a piecemeal fashion - into a living or more living structure. We further discuss several other urban design theories and how they can be justified by and placed within the theory of wholeness. With the wholeness as the scientific foundation, urban design can turn into a rigorous science with creation of living structures as the primary aim. Keywords: Beauty, life, scaling law, adaptation, differentiation, and organic world view

description: The origin of non-classicality in physical systems and its connection to distinctly quantum features such as entanglement and coherence is a central question in quantum physics. This work analyses this question theoretically and experimentally, linking quantitatively non-classicality with quantum coherence. On the theoretical front, we show when the coherence of an observable is linearly related to the degree of violation of the Kolmogorov condition, which quantifies the deviation from any classical (non-invasive) explanation of the multi-time statistics. Experimentally, we probe this connection between coherence and non-classicality in a time-multiplexed optical quantum walk. We demonstrate exquisite control of quantum coherence of the walker by varying the degree of coherent superposition effected by the coin, and we show a concomitant variation in the degree of non-classicality of the walker statistics, which can be accessed directly by virtue of the unprecedented control on the measurement-induced effects obtained via fast programmable electro-optic modulators.

Interaction of Radio Lobes with the Hot Intracluster Medium: Driving Convective Outflow in Hydra A

description: The radio lobes of Hydra A lie within cavities surrounded by a rim of enhanced X-ray emission in the intracluster gas. Although the bright rim appears cooler than the surrounding gas, existing Chandra data do not exclude the possibility that the rim is produced by a weak shock. A temperature map shows that cool gas extends out along the radio axis of Hydra A. The age of the radio source and equipartition pressure of the radio lobe argue against a shock, and comparison with similar structure in the Perseus Cluster also suggests that the rim is cool. We show that the cool bright rim cannot be the result of shock induced cooling, or due to the effect of magnetic fields in shocks. The most likely source of low entropy (cool) gas is entrainment by the rising cavity. This requires some means of communicating the bouyant force on the cavity to the surrounding gas. The magnetic field required to produce the Faraday rotation in Hydra A has the appropriate properties for this, if the Faraday screen is mainly in this bright rim. In Hydra A, the mass outflow due to the rising cavities could be sufficient to balance cooling driven inflow, so preventing the build up of low entropy gas in the cluster core.
