description: We consider the early cooling evolution of strongly magnetized strange stars in a CFL phase with high gap Delta > 100 MeV. We demonstrate how this model may explain main features of the gamma-ray burst phenomena and also yield a strong star kick. The mechanism is based on beaming of neutrino emission along the magnetic vortex lines. We show that for sufficiently high initial temperatures T_0 ~ 30 - 60 MeV and surface magnetic fields B_s ~ 10^{15} - 10^{17} G, the energy release within the narrow beam is up to 10^{52} erg with a magnetic field dependent time scale between 10^{-2} s (for a smaller magnetic field) to 10 s. The above mechanism together with the parity violation of the neutrino-producing weak interaction processes in a magnetic field allow for the strange star kick. The higher the magnetic field the larger is the stars kick velocity. These velocities may cover the same range as observed pulsar kick velocities.

description: The condition of small-scale farmers in Indonesia is getting worse that is caused by an unfair low price that reflects to the low level of revenue for their income. This happens either because the dependency on trader/middlemen for selling the produce and the low accessibility of farmers to the market. The existence of auction mechanisms created by the Indonesian government auctions is still dominated by traders/middlemen, so that the increasing of prices have not affected to the farmers. Alternatively, by linking directly farmers to the auction mechanism will be analyzed in a descriptive and a qualitative ways from the point of view of price formation in the auction and the farmers’ determining factors to participate in the auction. The analysis conducts policy recommendations for ongoing agricultural auction development with the direct participation of small-scale farmers in the mechanism.

description: Based on introducing the basic conditions of the ethnic regions in northwest Sichuan Province, the thesis analyzes its agricultural development status, which can be classified into two aspects ---rich natural resources and slow agricultural economic growth. Through the analysis of the agricultural structure of northwest Sichuan Province, it is found that the production efficiency and economic benefits of crop planting in this region are low, animal husbandry, as a major industry in pastoral region, sees high production efficiency, the agricultural production is still at the resource-oriented stage; its agricultural structure is still the farming-pastoral structure relying mainly on animal husbandry, planting is dominated by crop planting and potato planting, animal husbandry mainly produces dairy and beef; the ethnic regions in northwest Sichuan Province is endowed with the advantages to grow crops, beans and fruits as well as to produce beef, mutton and milk, among which, three industries, say fruit, beef and dairy are with increasing location quotient and gradually strengthening industrial comparative advantage, while the location quotient of the other industries is declining and their industrial comparative advantages are more stable. In order to promote the agriculture in northwest Sichuan Province to develop in breadth and depth, the thesis proposes the following measures and suggestions: the first one is to adhere to the development strategy of modern animal husbandry; the second is to appropriately improve the proportion of economic crops; the third is to accelerate the development of green food processing industry.

description: We analyze the relationship between qubit-environment entanglement that can be created during the pure dephasing of the qubit and the effectiveness of the spin echo protocol. We focus here on mixed states of the environment. We show that while the echo protocol can obviously counteract classical environmental noise, it can also undo dephasing associated with qubit-environment entanglement, and there is no obvious difference in its efficiency in these two cases. Additionally, we show that qubit-environment entanglement can be generated at the end of the echo protocol even when it is absent at the time of application of the local operation on the qubit (the π pulse). We prove that this can occur only at isolated points in time, after fine-tuning of the echo protocol duration. Finally, we discuss the conditions under which the observation of specific features of the echo signal can serve as a witness of the entangling nature of the joint qubit-environment evolution.

description: This thesis gives overview of the connotation of rural spatial structure, indicating 4 kinds of elements, namely nodus, passage, region and flow. Their spatial arrangement and interaction lead to the corresponding rural spatial structure. This thesis also offers panorama of the related theoretical progress of intra-county and rural areas, indicating that the research theories of regional spatial structure at present, mainly focus on macroscopic region or urban space, but there is shortage of researches on county spatial structure, especially microscopic rural spatial structure. On such basis, 4 kinds of theoretical models and characteristics of regional spatial structure have been introduced. We build analysis index system of rural structural elements on the basis of 4 elements, and conduct rural spatial structural analysis, taking Jinhu County as an example. The result shows that rural spatial structure in Jinhu County is still at stage of nucleus-cluster development and rural system is not so sound. In addition, the passage network system of infrastructure has not taken shape, and county economy presents diseconomy of scale. The spatial interaction and association among towns in Jinhu County are weak. The characteristic analysis model of spatial structure in this research can objectively reflect regional characteristic of spatial structure.

description: We consider two different proposals to generate a time series with the same non-Poisson distribution of waiting times, to which we refer to as renewal and modulation. We show that, in spite of the apparent statistical equivalence, the two time series generate different physical effects. Renewal generates aging and anomalous scaling, while modulation yields no aging and either ordinary or anomalous diffusion, according to the prescription used for its generation. We argue, in fact, that the physical realization of modulation involves critical events, responsible for scaling. In conclusion, modulation rather than ruling out the action of critical events, sets the challenge for their identification.
High-energy emission of fast rotating white dwarfs

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The process of energy release in the magnetosphere of a fast rotating, magnetized white dwarf can be explained in terms of the canonical spin-powered pulsar model. Applying this model to the white dwarf companion of the low mass close binary AE Aquarii leads us to the following conclusions. First, the system acts as an accelerator of charged particles whose energy is limited to E_p < 3 TeV and which are ejected from the magnetosphere of the primary with the rate L_kin < 10^{32} erg/s. Due to the curvature radiation of the accelerated primary electrons the system should appear as a source of soft gamma-rays (~ 100 keV) with the luminosity < 3x10^{27} erg/s. The TeV emission of the system is dominated by the inverse Compton scattering of optical photons on the ultrarelativistic electrons. The optical photons are mainly contributed by the normal companion and the stream of material flowing through the magnetosphere of the white dwarf. The luminosity of the TeV source depends on the state of the system (flaring/quiet) and is limited to < 5x10^{29} erg/s. These results allow us to understand a lack of success in searching for the high-energy emission of AE Aqr with the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory and the Whipple Observatory.

description: The thesis summarizes the connotation of rural tourism and divides it into six types, including rural sightseeing and leisure tour, rural sports and fitness tour, rural folk culture tour, rural farming experience tour, rural business activity tour and rural learning and development tour. It outlines the theory of rural tourism sustainable development and points out that what sustainable development of tourism concerns is the coordination of ecology, economy, and society centering on human and nature. On the basis of introducing the connotation of modern agriculture, it divides modern agriculture into six types, including sightseeing agriculture, leisure agriculture, green agriculture, distinctive agriculture, industrialized agriculture and three-dimensional agriculture. And it concludes and obtains the combined signal model of modern agriculture and rural tourism. Based on the introduction of the above related theories, the paper discusses the interaction and integration model of the sustainable development for modern agriculture and rural tourism. It emphatically analyzes the integration model of modern agriculture and rural tourism, including rural agricultural tour model (sightseeing farms, leisure farms and citizens’ farms), science education tour model (education base of agricultural science and technology, sightseeing and leisure education agricultural gardens, agricultural education base for children and agricultural expo parks). Based on the interaction and integration relationship between modern agriculture and rural tourism, the paper puts forward corresponding countermeasures so as to promote their positive development and realize the maximum of ecological, social and economic benefits.

description: Based on the summarization of the status quo of the research both at home and abroad, the changing trend of the production of the main grain crops, covering the planting structure, seed structure and the trend of the per unit yields of garlic are analyzed. According to the comparative advantage theory, the comprehensive comparative advantages indices, which have been revised, can be used as the main research methods. By using the relevant data from 2000 to 2006, the scale comparative advantage, the efficient comparative advantage and the comprehensive comparative advantages of the main grain crops (wheat, millet, corn, soybean, rice and tuber crops) in each city of Henan Province are measured. The results show that among the main grain crops in Henan Province, only the wheat and the corn have comparative advantages; rice, corn, soybean and potatoes all do not have the scale advantages; the wheat, millet and the potatoes have obvious efficiency advantages while rice, corn and soybean have relatively weak efficiency advantages; wheat and corn have comprehensive comparative advantages, while rich, millet, soy bean and potatoes do not have the comprehensive comparative advantages. Combining with the current specific situation of Henan Province, the general situation faced by the production of main grain crops in Henan Province is analyzed specifically. In the end, suggestions on adjusting the structure of the main grain crops are put forward.

description: Mid-air haptic interfaces have several advantages - the haptic information is delivered directly to the user, in a manner that is unobtrusive to the immediate environment. They operate at a distance, thus easier to discover; they are more hygienic and allow interaction in 3D. We validate, for the first time, in a preliminary study with sighted and a user study with blind participants, the use of mid-air haptics for conveying Braille. We tested three haptic stimulation methods, where the haptic feedback was either: a) aligned temporally, with haptic stimulation points presented simultaneously (Constant); b) not aligned temporally, presenting each point independently (Point-By-Point); or c) a combination of the previous methodologies, where feedback was presented Row-by-Row. The results show that mid-air haptics is a viable technology for presenting Braille characters, and the highest average accuracy (94% in the preliminary and 88% in the user study) was achieved with the Point-by-Point method.

description: On the basis of the previous researches and the ecological footprint theory, we use the cross-sectional data of Chinese energy consumption in 2007 to calculate the regional differences of energy consumption footprint of 30 provinces in China; by using the method of EEF calculation method, we calculate the regional distribution of EFI and analyze its law; through the construction of STIRPAT model, we reveal the relationship between EEF and factors of population and economy. The results show that provinces with higher EFF are mainly concentrate in the Middle Eastern China, which have a developed industry, such as Shandong, Hebei, and Liaoning Province and so on. However, provinces with lower EFF mainly concentrated in Western China, which have a relatively lag economy, such as Ningxia, Qinghai province and so on. These results are in accordance with the area distribution of China’s economic development level. The EFI decreases gradually from west to east. As the level of regional economy is improved, the EFI has the downward trend. The quantity of population shows notable impact on EFI . The per capita GDP does not show the negative relationship with EFI, which can not prove the existence of Environmental Kuznets Curve.

description: The quality of reclaimed land not only relates to the way of reclamation, but also has close relations to farmers’ living standard and households’ behaviors. Taking the farmland in the reclamation region of the Liuxin County, Tongshan Town, Xuzhou as the survey objects, we conduct a survey on peasant households in the reclamation region by the way of questionnaire. The data collected from the survey are analyzed by using scientific statistical methods, including SPSS software and Excel. The results show that in the investigation of peasant households’ perceptual knowledge towards the quality of reclaimed land, 42.5% of them holds the satisfactory and extremely satisfactory attitudes, which take relatively high percentage. As a result of the increase of non-agricultural income, 6% of peasant households are indifferent to the quality of the reclaimed land. During the investigation of peasant households’ rational knowledge towards the quality of the reclaimed land, the nitrogen content and organic content in soil filled by pulverized fuel ash are significantly lower than that in the soil filled by coal gangue and that in soil in the contrast area. The current production and planting pattern of peasant households has not improved the quality of farmland in the reclaimed area effectively and most peasant households still use the traditional way of cultivating. Hence, it is necessary to strengthen the guide on the thought patterns of peasant households, to cultivate scientifically and to enhance the quality of reclaimed farmland. The yields of the reclaimed farmland are low in the primary year, but with the increases of input and the restoration of the land, the annual yields will increase gradually, and gradually approaches to the usual yields. Based on it, the corresponding countermeasures are put forward: for one thing, improving soil alkalescency and enhancing soil fertility; for another thing, attaching much attention to technological directions, scientific cultivation and carry out the standards of reclamation strictly.

description: We present a numerical investigation of the contribution of the presupernova ejecta of Wolf-Rayet stars to the environment surrounding gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and describe how this external matter can affect the observable afterglow characteristics. An implicit hydrodynamic calculation for massive stellar evolution is used here to provide the inner boundary conditions for an explicit hydrodynamical code to model the circumstellar gas dynamics. The resulting properties of the circumstellar medium are then used to calculate the deceleration of a relativistic, gas-dynamic jet and the corresponding afterglow light curve produced as the shock wave propagates through the shocked-wind medium. We find that variations in the stellar wind drive instabilities that may produce radial filaments in the shocked-wind region. These comet-like tails of clumps could give rise to strong temporal variations in the early afterglow lightcurve. Afterglows may be expected to differ widely among themselves, depending on the angular anisotropy of the jet and the properties of the stellar progenitor; a wide diversity of behaviors may be the rule, rather than the exception.

description: Consider a population of farmers who live around a lake. Each farmer engages in trade with his m adjacent neighbors, where m is termed the "span of interaction." Trade is governed by a prisoner’s dilemma "rule of engagement." A farmer’s payoff is the sum of the payoffs from the m prisoner’s dilemma games played with his m/2 neighbors to the left, and with his m/2 neighbors to the right. When a farmer dies, his son takes over. The son who adheres to his father’s span of interaction decides whether to cooperate or defect by considering the actions taken and the payoffs received by the most prosperous member of the group comprising his father and his father’s m trading partners. Under a conventional structure of payoffs, it is shown that a large span of interaction is detrimental to the long-run coexistence of cooperation and defection, and conditions are provided under which the social outcome associated with the expansion of trade when individuals trade with a few is better than that when they trade with many. Under the stipulated conditions it is shown, by means of a static comparative analysis of the steady state configurations of the farmer population, that an expansion of the market can be beneficial in one context, detrimental in another.

Bi-directional Exponential Angular Triplet Loss for RGB-Infrared Person Re-Identification

description: RGB-Infrared person re-identification (RGB-IR Re- ID) is a cross-modality matching problem, where the modality discrepancy is a big challenge. Most existing works use Euclidean metric based constraints to resolve the discrepancy between features of images from different modalities. However, these methods are incapable of learning angularly discriminative feature embedding because Euclidean distance cannot measure the included angle between embedding vectors effectively. As an angularly discriminative feature space is important for classifying the human images based on their embedding vectors, in this paper, we propose a novel ranking loss function, named Bi-directional Exponential Angular Triplet Loss, to help learn an angularly separable common feature space by explicitly constraining the included angles between embedding vectors. Moreover, to help stabilize and learn the magnitudes of embedding vectors, we adopt a common space batch normalization layer. The quantitative and qualitative experiments on the SYSU-MM01 and RegDB dataset support our analysis. On SYSU-MM01 dataset, the performance is improved from 7.40% / 11.46% to 38.57% / 38.61% for rank-1 accuracy / mAP compared with the baseline. The proposed method can be generalized to the task of single-modality Re-ID and improves the rank-1 accuracy / mAP from 92.0% / 81.7% to 94.7% / 86.6% on the Market-1501 dataset, from 82.6% / 70.6% to 87.6% / 77.1% on the DukeMTMC-reID dataset.

description: Our deep Chandra exposures of 47Tuc and moderate exposures of NGC 6397 reveal a wealth of new phenomena for interacting X-ray binaries (IXBs) in globular clusters. In this (late) Review, updated since the conference, I summarize recent and ongoing analysis of the millisecond pulsars, the compact binaries containing white dwarfs and neutron stars, and the chromospherically active binaries in both globular clusters. Spectral variability analysis enables new insights into source properties and evolutionary history. These binary populations, now so ``easily'' visible, are large enough that their properties and spatial distributions reveal new hints of compact object formation and binary interactions with their parent cluster. Neutron stars appear overabundant, relative to white dwarfs, in 47Tuc vs. NGC 6397. The IXBs containing neutron stars (i.e., MSPs and qLMXBs), as the most massive and ancient compact binary sample, may trace the protocluster disk in 47Tuc, whereas compact binaries may have been ejected preferentially along the cluster rotation equator during the recent core collapse in NGC 6397.

Beckoning the heart: a guided autobiographical approach to understanding women’s recovery following myocardial infarction
Creators: name: Bowers, Michele Janice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As cardiac research specific to women slowly emerges from the field, there is increasing evidence that women's experiences following myocardial infarction are different from men's (Boogard, 1985) and that younger women may be faced with different developmental challenges compared to their older female counterparts (LaCharity, 1997, 1999). This study explored how women constructed their experience of recovery following a myocardial infarction (Ml). Action research using Guided Autobiography (GA) provided the methodology for addressing the research question: How do women under the age of 55 years, construct their experience of recovery following myocardial infarction? Guided autobiography was utilized as the research tool or method for gathering the research data. Five women, between 48 and 53 years of age, who experienced Ml within the past 3 years, voluntarily participated in a 7-week GA group with other female cardiac patients where they engaged in a weekly reflection and writing practice. Six autobiographical themes were used to guide participant's written accounts. A follow-up session was conducted approximately 8 weeks following the completion of the group to address issues of research validity. Data sources in this study primarily comprised of participant's autobiographies, audio and videotapes of the research sessions and the researcher's field notes. Research sessions were transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to Berg's (1995) method of content analysis. Six common themes emerged across research sessions including a) the experience of loss, b) living with uncertainty, c) changes in self-concept, d) personal needs and self-care, e) care and support, and f) taking care of others. Study findings contribute to the growing body of literature specifically dedicated to exploring women's experiences of Ml and recovery. Findings also demonstrate the value of utilizing Guided Autobiography as a clinical intervention to facilitate emotional recovery in women following a significant cardiac event such as Ml.

description: Research into IPM technologies has been conducted by NSW DPI for over 20 years. Evaluating the returns from investment in specific research and development projects is an important component of the NSW DPI science and research program. An economic evaluation has been conducted of IPM in managing invertebrate pests in lettuce in NSW. We found that there has been widespread adoption of IPM practices amongst NSW lettuce growers leading to a flow of economic benefits to the lettuce industry and the community. Important environmental and human health benefits were also identified. A benefit-cost ratio of 2 was calculated for the return to NSW DPI investment in lettuce IPM research which while satisfactory, is lower than returns calculated for other agricultural R&D evaluations. It does not include ‘spillover’ benefits to other States nor have human health or environmental benefits been valued.

description: Extreme image or video completion, where, for instance, we only retain 1% of pixels in random locations, allows for very cheap sampling in terms of the required pre-processing. The consequence is, however, a reconstruction that is challenging for humans and inpainting algorithms alike. We propose an extension of a state-of-the-art extreme image completion algorithm to extreme video completion. We analyze a color-motion estimation approach based on color KL-divergence that is suitable for extremely sparse scenarios. Our algorithm leverages the estimate to adapt between its spatial and temporal filtering when reconstructing the sparse randomly-sampled video. We validate our results on 50 publicly-available videos using reconstruction PSNR and mean opinion scores.

description: Until recently, black holes (BHs) could be discovered only through accretion from other stars in X-ray binaries, or in merging double compact objects. Improvements in astrometric and spectroscopic measurements have made it possible to detect BHs also in non-interacting BH binaries (nBHB) through a precise analysis of the companion's motion. In this study, using an updated version of the Startrack binary-star population modelling code and a detailed model of the Milky Way (MW) galaxy we calculate the expected number of detections for Gaia and LAMOST surveys. We develop a formalism to convolve the binary population synthesis output with a realistic stellar density distribution, star-formation history (SFH), and chemical evolution for the MW, which produces a probability distribution function of the predicted compact-binary population over the MW. This avoids the additional statistical uncertainty which is introduced by methods which Monte Carlo sample from binary population synthesis output to produce one potential specific realisation of the MW compact-binary distribution, and our method is also comparatively fast to such Monte Carlo realisations. Specifically, we predict $\sim41$-$340$ nBHBs to be observed by Gaia, although the numbers may drop to $\sim10$-$70$ if the recent ($\lesssim100\;$ Myr) star formation is low ($\sim1\;M_\odot$/yr ). For LAMOST we predict $\lesssim14$ detectable nBHBs, which is lower partially because its field-of-view covers just $\sim6\%$ of the Galaxy.

description: Inflation is undeniable one of most leading and dynamics macroeconomics issues confronting almost all economies of the world. Its dynamism has made it an imperative issue to be considered. Hence the study examines the factors affecting inflation in Nigeria. Time series data were employed for the study. The data was sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria and National Bureau of Statistics. Descriptive statistics and cointegration analysis were the analytical tools used. It was observed that there were variations in the trend pattern of inflation rate. Some of the variables considered were significant in determining inflation in Nigeria. The previous total export was found to have a negative impact on current inflation while the previous total import exerts a positive effect likewise the food price index. It has thus been recommended that policies that will set the interest rate to a level at which it will encourage investment and increase in production level could be institutionalized, importation should be reduced in Nigeria such that it will not encourage change of consumer taste resulting to inflating prices, exchange rate system should be maintained at a level that will not impose threat on the Nigeria economy and the domestic consumption of petroleum product should be focused, not only exportation.

description: Abstract The results of intense pulsed ion beam (IPIB) treatment of the soft magnetic amorphous alloy of a FINEMET-type are presented. Foil produced from the alloy was irradiated with short (about 100 ns) pulses of carbon ions and protons with energy of up to 300 keV and an energy density of up to 7 J/cm2. X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements were used to investigate structural and magnetic properties of irradiated foils. It is shown that the foil remains intact after the treatment, and the crystal structure still amorphous. Spontaneous magnetization vector is found to lie almost along perpendicular to the foil plane after irradiation, whereas for the initial amorphous foil it belongs to the plane. The magnetic properties of the foil undergo changes: the coercive force decreases, the saturation induction increases slightly, and the magnetization curve has shallower slope.

description: Habitability varies dramatically with location and time in the universe. This was recognized centuries ago, but it was only in the last few decades that astronomers began to systematize the study of habitability. The introduction of the concept of the habitable zone was key to progress in this area. The habitable zone concept was first applied to the space around a star, now called the Circumstellar Habitable Zone. Recently, other, vastly broader, habitable zones have been proposed. We review the historical development of the concept of habitable zones and the present state of the research. We also suggest ways to make progress on each of the habitable zones and to unify them into a single concept encompassing the entire universe.

Dark Matter Abundance from Sequential Freeze-in Mechanism

description: We present a thorough analysis of the sequential freeze-in mechanism for dark matter production in the early universe. In this mechanism the dark matter relic density results from pair annihilation of mediator particles which are themselves produced by thermal collisions of standard model particles. Below some critical value of the mediator coupling to standard model fields, this sequential channel dominates over the usual freeze-in where dark matter is directly produced from thermal collisions, even when the mediator is not in thermal equilibrium. The latter case requires computing the full non-thermal distribution of the mediators, for which finite temperature corrections are particularly important.
