Microfinance and post-conflict reconstruction : organizational capacity-building of a CARE International microcredit project in Jaffna, Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Anpalakan, Kalaivani
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the challenges of capacity building of Community Based Organizations (CBO) in the microfinance sector, focused on poverty alleviation in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. This has been achieved by examining a case study of the pilot project, capacity building of CBOs in Jaffna (CAB-J project), being carried out by CARE International, Jaffna. For this purpose CARE has selected twenty CBOs to build their capacity in financial services to provide savings and credit services to vulnerable group of people. The ethnic conflict in Jaffna has caused massive destruction to the society, economy, public and private properties. Various subsidy and grants programs has developed a dependency syndrome among poor and they still remains as poor. They don't have adequate capital to invest in self employment activities. So there is an urgent need to build the local capacity in microfinance. The impact of the CAB-J microcredit program is analysed and discussed. Various challenges and implication of capacity building in microfinance in Jaffna post conflict context are also examined. A multiple method was used to collect necessary data and information including interviews, participatory observations, secondary data and comprehensive literature review regarding Jaffna context. The interviews primarily focused on the socio-economic impact of the project, various challenges and implications related to capacity building at institutional and grassroot level. The analysis was primarily based on the qualitative data. The study revealed that the CAB-J microcredit is an ideal tool in alleviating poverty in the post conflict context like Jaffna by strengthening the socio-economic structures of the Jaffna community rather than merely depend on grants or subsidy. But the actual impacts should be assessed in regards to the long term effect and sustainability of the program. But the project faced several challenges primarily lack of fund and human resources, high demand for non financial services, prevailing uncertain political situation, in building local capacity in microfinance. The study suggests that to achieve maximum outreach and sustainability some special components such as incorporating non financial services, blending the microcredit program with relief assistance, increasing human resources, and pouring more fund into the program should be incorporated into the existing programs

description: The production of excess on-farm manure is placing continuous pressures on dairy producers to meet or exceed standards for environmental regulations while maintaining profitability and competitiveness. Evaluation of the effects of recycling nutrients on the profitability of the whole farm enterprise is important for a dairy operation. The objective of this study was to develop a linear programming model that evaluates the economic performance of a dairy operation considering production and environmental constraints. The main goal was to maximize profits from the dairy enterprise considering milk production, manure production, crop production while maintaining a balance of nutrients in the system. Results from simulation analyses showed greater effects on total farm profits at the more restrictive P-based than N-based manure application rates.

description: We study Dyakonov surface waveguide modes in a waveguide represented by an interface of two anisotropic media confined between two air half-spaces. We analyze such modes in terms of perturbation theory in the approximation of weak anisotropy. We show that in contrast to conventional Dyakonov surface waves that decay monotonically with distance from the interface, Dyakonov waveguide modes can have local maxima of the field intensity away from the interface. We confirm our analytical results by comparing them with full-wave electromagnetic simulations. We believe that this work can bring new ideas in the research of Dyakonov surface waves.

description: We present an investigation of the morphology and arrival times of integrated radio pulses from the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J1022+1001. This pulsar is renowned for its poor timing properties, which have been postulated to originate from variability in its average pulse profile. Although a sub-class of long-period pulsars are known to exhibit mode changes that give rise to very large deviations in their integrated profiles, this was the first millisecond pulsar thought to have an unstable mean profile. As part of a precision timing program at the Parkes radio telescope we observed this pulsar between January 2003 and March 2004 using a coherent de-dispersion system (CPSR2). A study of morphological variability during our brightest observations suggests that the pulse profile varies by at most a few percent, similar to the uncertainty in our calibration. Unlike previous authors, we find that this pulsar times extremely well. In five minute integrations of 64 MHz bands we obtain a weighted RMS residual of just 2.27 microseconds. The reduced chi-squared of our best fit is 1.43, which suggests that this pulsar can be timed to high accuracy with standard cross-correlation techniques. Combining relativistic constraints with the pulsar mass function and consideration of the Chandrasekhar mass limit on the white dwarf companion, we can constrain the inclination angle of the system to lie within the range 37 < i < 56 degrees. For reasonable pulsar masses, this suggests that the white dwarf is at least 0.9 solar masses. We also find evidence for secular evolution of the projected semi-major axis.

description: Radioactive isotopes produced in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) provide useful insights into the underlying processes driving the collapse mechanism and the origins of elemental abundances. Their study generates a confluence of major physics research, including experimental measurements of nuclear reaction rates, astrophysical modeling, and $γ$-ray observations. Here we identify the key nuclear reaction rates to the nucleosynthesis of observable radioactive isotopes in explosive silicon-burning during CCSNe. Using the nuclear reaction network calculator SkyNet and current REACLIB reaction rates, we evolve temperature-density-time profiles of the innermost $0.45~M_\odot$ ejecta from the core collapse and explosion of a $12~M_\odot$ star. Individually varying 3403 reaction rates by factors of 100, we identify 141 reactions which cause significant differences in the isotopes of interest, namely, $^{43}$K, $^{47}$Ca, $^{44,47}$Sc, $^{44}$Ti, $^{48,51}$Cr, $^{48,49}$V, $^{52,53}$Mn, $^{55,59}$Fe, $^{56,57}$Co, and $^{56,57,59}$Ni. For each of these reactions, we present a novel method to extract the temperature range pertinent to the nucleosynthesis of the relevant isotope; the resulting temperatures lie within the range $T = 0.47$ to $6.15~$GK. Limiting the variations to within $1σ$ of STARLIB reaction rate uncertainties further reduces the identified reactions to 48 key rates, which can be used to guide future experimental research. Complete results are presented in tabular form.

description: We characterize the mass-dependent evolution in a large sample of more than 8,000 galaxies using spectroscopic redshifts drawn from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey in the range 0.4 < z < 1.4 and stellar masses calculated from K-band photometry obtained at Palomar Observatory. Using restframe (U-B) color and [OII] equivalent widths, we distinguish star-forming from passive populations in order to explore the nature of "downsizing''--a pattern in which the sites of active star formation shift from high mass galaxies at early times to lower mass systems at later epochs. Over the redshift range probed, we identify a mass limit, M_Q, above which star formation appears to be quenched. The physical mechanisms responsible for downsizing can thus be empirically quantified by charting the evolution in this threshold mass. We find that M_Q decreases with time by a factor of ~3 across the redshift range sampled according with a redshift dependence of (1+z)^3.5. To further constrain possible quenching mechanisms, we investigate how this downsizing signal depends on local galaxy environment. For the majority of galaxies in regions near the median density, there is no significant correlation between downsizing and environment. However, a trend is observed in the comparison between more extreme environments that are more than 3 times overdense or underdense relative to the median. Here, we find that downsizing is accelerated in overdense regions which host higher numbers of massive, early-type galaxies and fewer late-types as compared to the underdense regions. Our results significantly constrain recent suggestions for the origin of downsizing and indicate that the process for quenching star formation must, primarily, be internally driven. (Abridged)

description: Modifying the facial images with desired attributes is important, though challenging tasks in computer vision, where it aims to modify single or multiple attributes of the face image. Some of the existing methods are either based on attribute independent approaches where the modification is done in the latent representation or attribute dependent approaches. The attribute independent methods are limited in performance as they require the desired paired data for changing the desired attributes. Secondly, the attribute independent constraint may result in the loss of information and, hence, fail in generating the required attributes in the face image. In contrast, the attribute dependent approaches are effective as these approaches are capable of modifying the required features along with preserving the information in the given image. However, attribute dependent approaches are sensitive and require a careful model design in generating high-quality results. To address this problem, we propose an attribute dependent face modification approach. The proposed approach is based on two generators and two discriminators that utilize the binary as well as the real representation of the attributes and, in return, generate high-quality attribute modification results. Experiments on the CelebA dataset show that our method effectively performs the multiple attribute editing with preserving other facial details intactly.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We study the effect of spin-phonon coupling in small magnetic clusters, concentrating on a S=1/2 ring of 4 spins coupled antiferromagnetically. If the phonons are treated as classical variables, there is a critical value of the spin-phonon coupling above which a static distortion occurs. This is a good approximation if the zero point energy is small compared to the energy gain due to the distortion, which is true for large exchange interactions compared to the phonons energy ($J\gg\hbarω$). In the opposite limit, one can integrate out the phonon degrees of freedom and get an effective spin hamiltonian. Using exact diagonalizations to include the quantum nature of both spins and phonons, we obtain the spectrum in the whole range of parameters and explicit the crossover between the classical and quantum regimes. We then establish quantitatively the limits of validity of two widely used approaches (one in the quantum and one in the classical limits) and show that they are quite poor for small magnetic clusters. We also show that upon reducing $\hbarω/J$ the first excitation of a 4-site cluster becomes a singlet, a result that could be relevant for Cu$_2$Te$_2$O$_5$Br$_2$.

description: Evidence is mounting that composition of microorganisms within a host can play an essential role in total holobiont health. In corals, for instance, studies have identified algal and bacterial taxa that can significantly influence coral host function and these communities depend on environmental context. However, few studies have linked host genetics to algal and microbial partners across environments within a single coral population. Here, using 2b-RAD sequencing of corals and metabarcoding of their associated algal (ITS2) and bacterial (16S) communities, we show evidence that reef zones (locales that differ in proximity to shore and other environmental characteristics) structure algal and bacterial communities at different scales in a highly connected coral population (Acropora hyacinthus) in French Polynesia. Fore reef (FR) algal communities in Mo'orea were more diverse than back reef (BR) communities, suggesting that these BR conditions constrain diversity. Interestingly, in FR corals, host genetic diversity correlated with bacterial diversity, which could imply genotype by genotype interactions between these holobiont members. Our results illuminate that local reef conditions play an important role in shaping unique host–microbial partner combinations, which may have fitness consequences for dispersive coral populations arriving in novel environments.

description: This paper extends the existing estimation methods to allow estimation under simultaneous price and output uncertainty. In contrast with the previous literature, our approach is applicable to the direct and indirect utility functions and does not require specification and estimation of the production function. We derive estimating equations for the two most common forms of output risk (additive and multiplicative risks) and empirically determine which form is appropriate. Moreover, our estimation method can be utilized by future empirical studies in several ways. First, our method can be extended to include multiple sources of uncertainty. Second, it is applicable to other specifications of output uncertainty. Third, it can be used to conduct hypothesis tests regarding the functional forms and distributions. Furthermore, it enables the future empirical researcher to empirically verify/ refute the theoretical comparative statics results.

description: We report a similarity of fluctuations in equilibrium critical phenomena and non-equilibrium systems, which is based on the concept of natural time. The world-wide seismicity as well as that of San Andreas fault system and Japan are analyzed. An order parameter is chosen and its fluctuations relative to the standard deviation of the distribution are studied. We find that the scaled distributions fall on the same curve, which interestingly exhibits, over four orders of magnitude, features similar to those in several equilibrium critical phenomena (e.g., 2D Ising model) as well as in non-equilibrium systems (e.g., 3D turbulent flow).

description: The weak X-ray transient XTE J1739-302, characterized by extremely short outbursts, has recently been identified with a reddened star. Here we present spectroscopy and photometry of the counterpart, identifying it as a O8Iab(f) supergiant at a distance of ~2.3 kpc. XTE J1739-302 becomes thus characterized as the prototype of the new class of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. The optical and infrared spectra of the counterpart to XTE J1739-302 do not reveal any obvious characteristics setting it apart from other X-ray binaries with supergiant companions, which display a very different type of X-ray lightcurve.

Towards the graviton from spinfoams: the 3d toy model

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, a proposal has appeared for the extraction of the 2-point function of linearised quantum gravity, within the spinfoam formalism. This relies on the use of a boundary state, which introduces a semi-classical flat geometry on the boundary. In this paper, we investigate this proposal considering a toy model in the (Riemannian) 3d case, where the semi-classical limit is better understood. We show that in this limit the propagation kernel of the model is the one for the harmonic oscillator. This is at the origin of the expected 1/L behaviour of the 2-point function. Furthermore, we numerically study the short scales regime, where deviations from this behaviour occur.

description: Hog producers in Indiana and Nebraska were surveyed about sources of risk, effectiveness of risk management strategies, and prior participation in and desire for additional risk management education. Ownership of hogs by the producer, size of the operation, and age did have significant effects on ratings of both sources of risk and effectiveness of risk management strategies. Probit analysis found age, prior attendance, knowledge and prior use of the tool, level of integration, and concern about price and performance risk have significant effects on interest in further education about production contracts, futures and options, packer marketing contracts, and financial management.

description: This analysis presents a theoretical model of firm response to border enforcement and evaluates both the intended and unintended effects under two enforcement regimes: destruction versus treatment of contaminated shipments. The results indicate that importers may respond to increased inspection by reducing shipments and decreasing due care. In response to increased pest populations, firms may reduce shipments and increase due care, indicating that an enforcement response may not be necessary. The analysis reveals the importance of the nature of the due-care technology, as well as the relationships underlying the probability of detection, in determining the effects of enforcement.

Recycling of Eco-Taxes, Labor Market Effects and the True Cost of Labor- a CGE Analysis

subject: computable general equilibrium modeling

description: Computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling has provided a number of important insights about the interplay between environmental tax policy and the pre-existing tax system. In this paper, we emphasize that a labor market policy of recycling tax revenues from an environmental tax to lower employers’ non-wage labor cost depends on how the costs of labor are modeled. We propose an approach, which combines neoclassical substitutability and fixed factor proportions. Our concept implies a user cost of labor which consists of the market price of labor plus the costs of inputs associated with the employment of a worker. We present simulation results based on a CO2 tax and the recycling of its revenues to reduce the non-wage labor cost. One simulation is based on the market price of labor and the other on the user cost of labor. We found a double dividend under the first approach but not under the second one.

Subjects: subject: adoption psychology
subject: invasive species
subject: popularity weighting
subject: soybean rust
subject: technology adoption

description: This article looks at technology adoption in agriculture that is specifically targeted against invasive species. The analysis involves predicting the long-term distribution of technology choices when technology can be adopted and is adopted based on current and expected agricultural profits influenced by pest infestation. The theoretical analysis is based on an extension of two authors’ findings in 1993 and incorporates the possibility that psychological factors, such as complacency, have a significant impact on technology adoption and hence disease establishment. An empirical application is performed for soybean rust.
Low flicker-noise dc amplifier for 50 Ohm sources
Creators: name: Rubiola, Enrico

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)

description: This article analyzes the design of a low-noise amplifier intended as the input front-end for the measurement of the low-frequency components (below 10 Hz) of a 50 Ohm source. Low residual flicker is the main desired performance. This feature can only be appreciated if white noise is sufficiently low, and if an appropriate design ensures dc stability. An optimal solution is proposed, in which the low-noise and dc-stability features are achieved at a reasonable complexity. Gain is accurate to more than 100 kHz, which makes the amplifier an appealing external front-end for fast Fourier transform (FFT) analyzers.

The limits of the rotating wave approximation in the electromagnetic field propagation in a cavity

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We consider three two-level atoms inside a one-dimensional cavity, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the rotating wave approximation (RWA), commonly used in the atom-radiation interaction. One of the three atoms is initially excited, and the other two are in their ground state. We numerically calculate the propagation of the field spontaneously emitted by the excited atom and scattered by the second atom, as well as the excitation probability of the second and third atom. The results obtained are analyzed from the point of view of relativistic causality in the atom-field interaction. We show that, when the RWA is used, relativistic causality is obtained only if the integrations over the field frequencies are extended to $-\infty$; on the contrary, noncausal tails remain even if the number of field modes is increased. This clearly shows the limit of the RWA in dealing with subtle problems such as relativistic causality in the atom-field interaction.
