description: Key policy issues relating to protection of the Great Barrier Reef from pollutants generated by agriculture are to identify when measures to improve water quality generate benefits to society that outweigh the costs of reducing pollutants. The research reported in this paper makes a key contribution in several key ways. First, it uses the improved science understanding about the links between management changes and reef health to bring together the analysis of costs and benefits of marginal changes, helping to demonstrate the appropriate way of addressing policy questions relating to reef protection. Second, it uses the scientific relationships to frame a choice experiment to value the benefits of improved reef health, and links improvements explicitly to changes in ‘water quality units’. Third, the research demonstrates how protection values are consistent across a broader population, with some limited evidence of distance effects. Fourth, the information on marginal costs and benefits that are reported provide policy makers with key information to help improve management decisions. The results indicate that while there is potential for water quality improvements to generate net benefits, high cost water quality improvements are generally uneconomic. One implication for policy makers is that cost thresholds for key pollutants should be set to avoid more expensive water quality proposals being selected

description: We investigate the full U(3)$\otimes$U(3) chiral symmetry restoration, at finite temperature and density, on the basis of the three flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the anomaly term given by the 't Hooft interaction. We implement a temperature (density) dependence of the anomaly coefficient motivated by lattice results for the topological susceptibility. The results suggest that the axial part of the symmetry is restored before the possible restoration of the full U(3)$\otimes$U(3) chiral symmetry can occur.

Voltage stability of the power grid with integrated wind turbines
Creators: name: Manarovici, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: There has been a transition from non-renewable fossil fuels to renewable and clean energy sources. A result of this transition is the installation of a significant amount of wind turbines. The increasing presence of wind power requires additional voltage stability analysis of the power system. This is due to the considerable voltage fluctuations produced by changes in the wind speed which may affect some commercial and industrial loads. This problem is substantially more important as grid capacity is pushed to its limit. As a result, there is an interest in steady state and transient voltage stability analysis of the power grid with integrated wind turbines. This thesis studies the effect of wind speed variation on motor-type industrial loads, fed from the grid via a weak connection - long distribution line, in combination with a partial supply from locally installed distributed energy source - wind turbine. Two types of studies were conducted: 1) studies that involve a three phase fault on the strong line, and 2) studies that involve the continuous steady state operation of the wind turbine with typical wind variations. Type one studies examine the transient voltage stability of the system. They compare the static load model to a dynamic load model. In addition, the accuracy of constant power factor PV curves is compared to the equivalent circuit of induction machine PV curves at predicting a voltage collapse. It will be demonstrated that the dynamic load model and the equivalent circuit of induction machine PV curves is the only combination considered that accurately predicts the transient voltage stability of the system. The effect of a weak line (WL), between the grid and the load, is compared to a medium strength line (ML). Other factors which will be varied are: the post fault re-closing times and the load composition. Type two studies focus on the continuous operation of wind turbines. These cases explore the steady state voltage stability of fixed speed wind turbines (FSWT) compared to doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines. The dependence on wind power is increased to determine their penetration limit. It will be shown that the use of the DFIG wind turbine produces less voltage fluctuations and has the potential for larger penetration in the power system.

description: We propose layer saturation - a simple, online-computable method for analyzing the information processing in neural networks. First, we show that a layer's output can be restricted to the eigenspace of its variance matrix without performance loss. We propose a computationally lightweight method for approximating the variance matrix during training. From the dimension of its lossless eigenspace we derive layer saturation - the ratio between the eigenspace dimension and layer width. We show that saturation seems to indicate which layers contribute to network performance. We demonstrate how to alter layer saturation in a neural network by changing network depth, filter sizes and input resolution. Furthermore, we show that well-chosen input resolution increases network performance by distributing the inference process more evenly across the network.

description: This research project on the valuation of cultural heritage is developing a methodology for a quantitative valuation study of the use and non-use values of historic heritage places. The methodology developed in this project will provide a template for subsequent empirical applications to generate data of use in the formulation of heritage policies and programs. The initial stages in reaching this larger objective have involved determining how historic heritage places are to be categorised for measurement, establishing the process by which heritage attributes will be determined for valuation, and developing and trialling an effective measurement framework. The principal techniques being developed for valuation assessment in the project are derived from choice-modelling (CM) and contingent-valuation methods (CVM). A particular focus of the project is on the systematic integration of cultural and economic value assessments within a consistent theoretical framework, reflecting the need for an economic perspective on the significance criteria currently in use in heritage policy in Australia.

description: We present a triangulation--independent area--ordering prescription which naturally generalizes the well known path ordering one. For such a prescription it is natural that the two--form ``connection'' should carry three ``color'' indices rather than two as it is in the case of the ordinary one--form gauge connection. To define the prescription in question we have to define how to {\it exponentiate} a matrix with three indices. The definition uses the fusion rule structure constants.

description: We investigate the properties of the excited spectra of the even-even isotopes of krypton using a Generalised Bohr Hamiltonian with three different Skyrme functionals. In particular, we investigate the evolution of the low-lying $2^{+}_{1}$ and $4^{+}_{1}$ states and their associated electromagnetic transitions. The model reproduces quite nicely the energy trends apart from ${}^{88}$Kr, where none of the interactions used here are able to grasp a sudden change in the energy spectrum. Additionally, we explore the neutron deficient region ${}^{72-76}$Kr which is a proposed region for shape coexistence. We observe that the model can reproduce the structure of the experimental spectrum of ${}^{72}$Kr exceedingly well.

description: This paper employs a theoretical model to examine compliance incentives and market efficiency under three penalty types: the fixed penalty rate, which uses a constant marginal financial penalty; the make-good provision (quantity penalty), where each missing permit in the current period is to be offset with a ratio (restoration rate) in the following period; and a mixed penalty, which combines the two penalty types. Using a simple two-period model of firm's profit maximisation, we analyse compliance decisions and the efficient penalty level under each penalty type. Firms‟ compliance strategies are modelled as an irreversible investment in abatement measures and permit buying in the market. Our findings indicate that the penalty type does not affect compliance decisions provided that the efficient penalty level is applied. Market efficiency is retained regardless of penalty types. Nevertheless, the mixed penalty design provides the strongest compliance incentives. Hence this finding supports the practice in which this penalty design is widely used in the existing and the proposed trading schemes. Furthermore, we discuss the policy implications of the findings with regard to permit price discovery process and the Australian proposal of tying the penalty level to the permit price

description: Pulsation influences atmospheric structures of variable AGB stars (Miras) considerably. Spectral lines of the CO dv=3 vibration-rotation bands (at 1.6mue) therefore have a very characteristic appearance in time series of high-resolution spectra. Coupled to the light cycle they can be observed blue- or red-shifted, for some phases even line doubling is found. This is being explained by radial pulsations and shock fronts emerging in the atmospheres. Based on dynamic model atmospheres synthetic CO line profiles were calculated consistently, reproducing this scenario qualitatively.

description: Conformally soft gluons are conserved currents of the Celestial Conformal Field Theory (CCFT) and generate a Kac-Moody algebra. We study celestial amplitudes of Yang-Mills theory, which are Mellin transforms of gluon amplitudes and take the double soft limit of a pair of gluons. In this manner we construct the Sugawara energy-momentum tensor of the CCFT. We verify that conformally soft gauge bosons are Virasoro primaries of the CCFT under the Sugawara energy-momentum tensor. The Sugawara tensor though does not generate the correct conformal transformations for hard states. In Einstein-Yang- Mills (EYM) theory, we consider an alternative construction of the energy-momentum tensor, similar to the double copy construction which relates gauge theory amplitudes with gravity ones. This energy momentum tensor has the correct properties to generate conformal transformations for both soft and hard states. We extend this construction to supertranslations.

description: Optical isolators, while commonplace in bulk- and fiber-optic systems, remain a key missing component in integrated photonic systems. Isolation using magneto-optic effects has been difficult to implement due to fabrication restraints, motivating use of other non-reciprocal effects such as temporal modulation. We demonstrate a non-reciprocal modulator comprising a pair of microring modulators and a microring phase shifter in an active silicon photonic process which, in combination with standard frequency filters, facilitates isolation. Isolation up to 13 dB is measured with a 3 dB bandwidth of 2 GHz and insertion loss of 18 dB. As one potential application is cross-talk suppression in bi-directional communication links, we also show transmission of a 4 Gbps data signal through the isolator while retaining a wide-open eye diagram. This compact design, in combination with increased modulation efficiency, could enable modulator-based isolators to become a standard `black-box' component in integrated photonics foundry platform component library.

We apply our results to establish the existence of matings between quadratic maps and the modular group, for a large class of quadratic maps, and of matings between the quadratic map $z\to z^2$ and circle-packing representations of the free product $C\_2*C\_3$ of cyclic groups of order 2 and 3.

description: Methodological issues and innovations are integral to the development of sociolinguistics. While earlier sociolinguistic methods were able to effectively illustrate the methodological problems of Chomskyan linguistics, they were consequently criticized for being too structuralist and positivist. In this paper, I discuss the place of qualitative research methods in sociolinguistics. To do this, I first provide a historical sketch of the key events (or “waves”) in the development of sociolinguistics that warranted a turn to qualitative methods. I illustrate how qualitative methods have acquired a stronghold in both variationist and non-variationist sociolinguistics. The paper concludes with an exploration of potential ways of moving forward.

description: We consider the entanglement marginal problem, which consists of deciding whether a number of reduced density matrices are compatible with an overall separable quantum state. To tackle this problem, we propose hierarchies of semidefinite programming relaxations of the set of quantum state marginals admitting a fully separable extension. We connect the completeness of each hierarchy to the resolution of an analog classical marginal problem and thus identify relevant experimental situations where the hierarchies are complete. For finitely many parties on a star configuration or a chain, we find that we can achieve an arbitrarily good approximation to the set of nearest-neighbour marginals of separable states with a time (space) complexity polynomial (linear) on the system size. Our results even extend to infinite systems, such as translation-invariant systems in 1D, as well as higher spatial dimensions with extra symmetries.

Magnetosome dynamics is shown to comply with the conditions of the stochastic resonance under not-too-tight constraints on the character of the particle's fastening. The excursion of regular rotations attains the value of order of radian that facilitates explaining the biological effects of low-frequency weak magnetic fields and geomagnetic fluctuations. Such 1-rad rotations are effectively controlled by slow magnetic field variations of the order of 200 nT.

description: Controlling the transport of thermal energy is key to most applications of metal-organic frameworks. Analyzing the evolution of the effective local temperature, the interfaces between the metal nodes and the organic linkers are identified as the primary bottlenecks for heat conduction. Consequently, changing the bonding strength at that node-linker interface and the mass of the metal atoms can be exploited to tune the thermal conductivity. This insight is generated employing molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with advanced, ab initio parametrized force fields. The focus of the present study is on MOF-5 as a prototypical example of an isoreticular MOF. Still, the key findings prevail for different node structures and node-linker bonding chemistries. The presented results lay the foundation for developing detailed structure-to-property relationships for thermal transport in MOFs with the goal of devising strategies for the application-specific optimization of heat conduction.

description: The search for the spectral signature of hydrogen from the formation of the first stars, known as Cosmic Dawn or First Light, is an ongoing effort around the world. The signature should present itself as a decrease in the temperature of the 21-cm transition relative to that of the Cosmic Microwave Background and is believed to reside somewhere below 100 MHz. A potential detection was published by the Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signal (EDGES) collaboration with a profile centered around 78 MHz of both unexpected depth and width (Bowman et. al 2018; arXiv:1810.05912). If validated, this detection will have profound impacts on the current paradigm of structure formation within $Λ$CDM cosmology. We present an attempt to detect the spectral signature reported by the EDGES collaboration with the Long Wavelength Array station located on the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico, USA (LWA-SV). LWA-SV differs from other instruments in that it is a 256 element antenna array and offers beamforming capabilities that should help with calibration and detection. We report first limits from LWA-SV and look toward future plans to improve these limits.

description: Development of energy efficient techniques for generation of spin waves (magnons) is important for implementation of low-dissipation spin-wave-based logic circuits and memory elements. A promising approach to achieve this goal is based on the injection of short strain pulses into ferromagnetic films with a strong magnetoelastic coupling between spins and strains. Here we report micromagnetoelastic simulations of the magnetization and strain dynamics excited in Fe$_{81}$Ga$_{19}$ films by picosecond and nanosecond acoustic pulses created in a GaAs substrate by a transducer subjected to an optical or electrical impulse. The simulations performed via the numerical solution of the coupled Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert and elastodynamic equations show that the injected strain pulse induces an inhomogeneous magnetization precession in the ferromagnetic film. The precession lasts up to 1 ns and can be treated as a superposition of magnon modes having the form of standing spin waves. For Fe$_{81}$Ga$_{19}$ films with nanoscale thickness, up to seven (six) distinct modes have been revealed under free-surface (pinning) magnetic boundary conditions. Remarkably, magnon modes with frequencies over 1 THz can be excited by acoustic pulses with an appropriate shape and duration in the films subjected to a moderate external magnetic field. This finding shows that short strain pulses represent a promising tool for the generation of THz spin waves necessary for the implementation of high-speed magnonic devices.

The effect of RAA on mRNA degradation in THP-1 human leukemic monocytes
Creators: name: Mak, Isabella Wing Yan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Dysregulation of mRNA levels is a genetic hallmark of cancer. The Shaw-Kamen (SK) box, an AU-rich element (ARE ) found in the 3'UTR, is an mRNA stability determinant in many cytokines, growth factors, transcription factors, and proto-oncogene mRNAs. A fungal metabolite, Radicicol Analog A (RAA) , was found to destabilize only S K box-containing mRNAs in THP-1 human leukemic monocytes (Cytokine, 1996, 8, 751-761). Given the small number of genes analyzed in this study, SAGE was used to examine the transcriptome-wide effect of RAA on mRNA expression in THP-1 cells. To determine whether RAA only down-regulated SK box-containing mRNAs, two ~45,000-short-tag SAGE libraries were prepared from total mRNA isolated from THP-1 cells stimulated with IFNγ/LPS ± RAA (lp:M). Surprisingly, only 0.27% of the total unique SAGE tags ( p<0.001) were downregulated by RAA treatment. Tag-to-gene identities for these 48 down-regulated SAGE tags were validated and quantified using real-time RT-PCR. Although 73% of these RAA-down-regulated tags encoded SK box-containing mRNAs, no linear correlation was observed between the fold decrease in mRNA expression and the number of the SK boxes. mRNA half-lives for ten genes, were determined in unstimulated, and 2 and 16 hour post-IFNγ/LPS stimulated THP-1 cells. The mRNA half-lives of two SK box-containing mRNAs, TNF-a and NFKBIA , were unaffected by RAA, suggesting that RAA may affect transcription. Interestingly, all mRNAs stabilized upon IFNγ/LPS treatment were destabilized by RAA at the post-transcriptional level. Hopefully, by studying the effect of RAA on mRNA regulation, a new approach to cancer treatment and other diseases, may be gained.

description: Language learning in EFL settings, which aims to promote mastery in target language skills and impart natural communicative competence close to those of native speakers using the books, has always called for authentic EFL textbooks written by native English authors. In view of this, it is important that EFL books be examined to see if these textbooks meet the needs of the target learners not only on the surface but also on their deep structures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the distribution of five speech acts Searle (1976) in the EFL textbooks used by Iranian Learners in Iran. These speech acts are Directive, Assertive, Expressive, Commissive, and Declarative. Thirty randomly selected conversation models totaling to 305 sentences were extracted from three Top-Notch series EFL textbooks. Analysis proceeded by identifying the speech acts incorporated into the conversations using Searle's (1979) Categorization Model. After classifying all the sentences into categories, based on the concept of Searle (1976) that all languages have five macro speech acts in common, the same sentences were then evaluated for their cultural appropriateness (Vaezi, Tabatabaei, & Bakhtiarvand, 2014). Results showed the unequal distribution and to a great extent paucity of some speech acts throughout the conversation models which confirm the inappropriateness of these series. While Iranian learners take to Commissive speech acts, the Conversation Models in the EFL textbooks that were analysed used more assertive and directive speech acts. To overcome the shortcomings of these textbooks, EFL material designers and teachers need to introduce complementary resources in EFL settings to fit the pragmatic conventions of the EFL culture.

description: The emerging field of graph signal processing (GSP) allows to transpose classical signal processing operations (e.g., filtering) to signals on graphs. The GSP framework is generally built upon the graph Laplacian, which plays a crucial role to study graph properties and measure graph signal smoothness. Here instead, we propose the graph modularity matrix as the centerpiece of GSP, in order to incorporate knowledge about graph community structure when processing signals on the graph, but without the need for community detection. We study this approach in several generic settings such as filtering, optimal sampling and reconstruction, surrogate data generation, and denoising. Feasibility is illustrated by a small-scale example and a transportation network dataset, as well as one application in human neuroimaging where community-aware GSP reveals relationships between behavior and brain features that are not shown by Laplacian-based GSP. This work demonstrates how concepts from network science can lead to new meaningful operations on graph signals.

description: The Bible is a compilation of literary genres to some, a work of art to others, and the word of God to many. Translation is necessary for the bible to be accessible to as many readers as possible. In the Philippines, where most people are at least bilingual in Filipino and English, the bible is available in these two languages and in many other Philippine languages.The New Testament Pinoy Version (NTPV) makes use of code-switching in order to make the bible more accessible, understandable, relatable and more linguistically realistic to Filipino-English bilinguals. Majority of studies on code-switching have focused on spoken production and fewer investigations have been carried out on its written counterpart. In addition, no study has looked into code-switching and the motivation for the types of translation that lead to it, specifically in written material such as the bible. This study attempts to fill this gap by exploring the occurrences of code-switching and translation in the NTPV, the first bible to utilize code-switched language (English to Filipino and Filipino to English) to “capture the most natural and contemporary way of speaking” (Del Corro as cited in Cua, 2019) and to cater to a bilingual Filipino audience. Essentially, this translation is a code-switched translation of the bible – the first of its kind. Del Corro (as cited in Cua, 2019) attests that the translation is accurate, and came without doctrinal commentary. The goal of this study is to examine the: types of code-switching, the parts of speech that are most commonly translated to English, and the type of translation applied.

description: O objetivo do artigo é apresentar algumas evidências empíricas do setor de confecções de vestuário e acessórios. Pretende-se analisar as estratégias utilizadas pelas empresas de Confecção do Brasil, para fazer frente às mudanças provocadas pela reestruturação produtiva após 1990. Os procedimentos metodológicos realizados envolveram a discussão das estratégias de produção, a utilização de novas tecnologias, a organização, o gerenciamento, a comercialização, as alianças, as parcerias e as associações entre as empresas de confecção e os potenciais resultados, assim como o levantamento de dados secundários da indústria e a análise dos dados da PINTEC (2005), divulgados em agosto de 2007. O processo foi alvo de intenso de debate entre os economistas e a análise do debate acerca das causas e das principais conseqüências da reestruturação produtiva e a qualificação dos trabalhadores permitiu identificar três correntes distintas: autores que afirmam estar a reestruturação produtiva gerando uma tendência de requalificação do trabalhador, autores que defendem estar ocorrendo uma desqualificação dos trabalhadores devido à reestruturação produtiva e autores que relativizam o processo de reestruturação produtiva. Conclui-se que há muito espaço para políticas públicas no setor e que uma das saídas ensaiadas que deve ser fortalecida são os arranjos produtivos locais.-------------------------------------------------The purpose of the article is to present some empirical evidence of the industry confecciones of clothing and accessories. The aim is to examine the strategies used by companies to Manufacture of Brazil, to cope with changes caused by restructuring production after 1990. The methodological procedures were held for the discussion of the strategies of production, the use of new technologies, organization, management, marketing, alliances, partnerships and associations between enterprises of manufacture and potential results, as well as the lifting of secondary industry data and analysis of data from PINTEC (2005), released in August 2007. The case was the subject of intense debate among economists and analysis of the debate about the causes and consequences of the restructuring of the main production and qualification of workers allowed identify three different currents: authors who claim to be productive restructuring generating a trend of the worker retraining, authors who claim to be experiencing a disqualification of workers due to restructuring productive and authors who relativizam the process of restructuring productive. It follows that there is much room for public policies in the industry and that one of the exits tested that should be strengthened are the local productive arrangements.

description: We introduce a new survey of massive stars in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds using the Fibre Large Array Multi-Element Spectrograph (FLAMES) instrument at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Here we present observations of 269 Galactic stars with the FLAMES-Giraffe Spectrograph (R ~ 25,000), in fields centered on the open clusters NGC 3293, NGC 4755 and NGC 6611. These data are supplemented by a further 50 targets observed with the Fibre-Fed Extended Range Optical Spectrograph (FEROS, R = 48,000). Following a description of our scientific motivations and target selection criteria, the data reduction methods are described; of critical importance the FLAMES reduction pipeline is found to yield spectra that are in excellent agreement with less automated methods. Spectral classifications and radial velocity measurements are presented for each star, with particular attention paid to morphological peculiarities and evidence of binarity. These observations represent a significant increase in the known spectral content of NGC 3293 and NGC 4755, and will serve as standards against which our subsequent FLAMES observations in the Magellanic Clouds will be compared.

description: Social media has become a popular platform to raise social awareness. Students are encouraged to participate in these initiatives, which calls for educators to develop their skills and competencies to become responsible digital citizens. The relatively seamless interplay between graphics and text has led to the infographic becoming a powerful tool in forwarding advocacies. Therefore, it provides the perfect avenue to bridge the skills taught in English classrooms with the digital sphere. This study presents findings from a purposive communication class where college students were tasked to create infographic materials in line with their chosen advocacies. This paper argues that the process approach and use of peer feedback are instrumental in guiding the students in creating accurate and meaningful infographic materials, thus developing relevant 21st century skills.

description: We study energy scale-transfer in Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) flows by coarse-graining in physical space without Fourier transforms, allowing scale analysis along vertical direction. Two processes are responsible for kinetic energy flux across scales: baropycnal work $Λ$, due to large-scale pressure gradients acting on small-scales of density and velocity, and deformation work $Π$, due to multi-scale velocity. Our coarse-graining analysis shows how these fluxes exhibit self-similar evolution that is quadratic-in-time, similar to RT mixing layer. We find that $Λ$ is a conduit for potential energy, transferring energy non-locally from the largest scales to smaller scales in the inertial range where $Π$ takes over. In 3D, $Π$ continues a persistent cascade to smaller scales, whereas in 2D $Π$ re-channels the energy back to larger scales despite the lack of vorticity conservation in 2D variable density flows. This gives rise to a positive feedback loop in 2D-RT (absent in 3D) in which mixing layer growth and the associated potential energy release are enhanced relative to 3D, explaining the oft-observed larger $α$ values in 2D simulations. Despite higher bulk kinetic energy levels in 2D, small inertial scales are weaker than in 3D. Moreover, the net upscale cascade in 2D tends to isotropize the large-scale flow, in stark contrast to 3D. Our findings indicate the absence of net upscale energy transfer in 3D-RT as is often claimed; growth of large-scale bubbles and spikes is not due to "mergers" but solely due to baropycnal work $Λ$.
