description: During the negotiations on the Australia–US free trade agreement (AUSFTA), the US dairy industry vigorously opposed opening the US market to imports of Australian dairy products on the grounds that the US industry would be devastated. Subsequently, the agreement signed in February 2004 made an exception for dairy, providing for only limited quota expansion and no free trade, even at the end of the long implementation period. This paper presents a simulation model of world dairy markets, represented by supply and demand equations for fat and non-fat components of milk and manufactured dairy products. We use the model to analyse the effects on US milk markets of both a hypothetical agreement, allowing free bilateral trade in dairy products, and the actual AUSFTA. An important contribution to the literature is the derivation of explicit supply and demand relationships for milk components. The components model allows an analysis of long-term production, consumption, and trade patterns that is not tied to specific, fungible products. Simulations indicate that increased imports from Australia resulting from bilateral trade liberalisation would have resulted in small reductions in US milk prices and production. The much smaller increases in Australian access to the US market under the actual AUSFTA will have even smaller, almost negligible, impacts.

description: We show that the Schrödinger equation in phase space proposed by Torres-Vega and Frederick is canonical in the sense that it is a natural consequence of the extended Weyl calculus obtained by letting the Heisenberg group act on functions (or half-densities) defined on phase space. This allows us, in passing, to solve rigorously the TF equation for all quadratic Hamiltonians.

description: We numerically demonstrate a new type of waveform-selective metasurface that senses the difference in incoming waveforms or pulse widths at the same frequency. Importantly, the proposed structure contains precise rectifier circuits that, compared to ordinary schottky diodes used within old types of structures, rectify induced electric charges at a markedly reduced input power level depending on several design parameters but mostly on the gain of operational amplifiers. As a result, a waveform-selective absorbing mechanism related to this turn-on voltage appears even with a limited signal strength that is comparable to realistic wireless signal levels. In addition, the proposed structure exhibits a noticeably wide dynamic range from -30 to 6 dBm, compared to a conventional structure that operated only around 0 dBm. Thus, our study opens up the door to apply the concept of waveform selectivity to a more practical field of wireless communications to control different small signals at the same frequency.

description: A mail survey is used to examine the consistency of alternative risk preference elicitation procedures using five commonly used methods. These elicitation procedures have been used in previous studies to characterise risk preference. Results show little consistency across procedures, supporting strength-of-preference studies. A general recommendation for mail surveys is the development of relatively easy-to-understand risk-preference elicitation procedures that are framed according to the situational construct in question.

description: Assuming stationarity is unrealistic in many time series applications. A more realistic alternative is to assume piecewise stationarity, where the model can change at potentially many change points. We propose a three-stage procedure for simultaneous estimation of change points and parameters of high-dimensional piecewise vector autoregressive (VAR) models. In the first step, we reformulate the change point detection problem as a high-dimensional variable selection one, and solve it using a penalized least square estimator with a total variation penalty. We show that the penalized estimation method over-estimates the number of change points, and propose a selection criterion to identify the change points. In the last step of our procedure, we estimate the VAR parameters in each of the segments. We prove that the proposed procedure consistently detects the number and location of change points, and provides consistent estimates of VAR parameters. The performance of the method is illustrated through several simulated and real data examples.

description: This article investigates how visual biases influence the choices made by people and machines in the context of online food. To this end the paper investigates three research questions and shows (i) to what extent machines are able to classify images, (ii) how this compares to human performance on the same task and (iii) which factors are involved in the decision making of both humans and machines. The research reveals that algorithms significantly outperform human labellers on this task with a range of biases being present in the decision-making process. The results are important as they have a range of implications for research, such as recommender technology and crowdsourcing, as is discussed in the article.

description: It is notoriously difficult to assess the economic value of research aimed at improving research capacity, particularly for the human capital component of research capacity. In this paper, a framework is developed and an analysis is undertaken of the value of training for scientists in wheat rust resistance. The value of improving human capital is assessed through a framework based on marginal analysis of the improvement in productivity outcomes flowing from the increased capacity. On that basis, the value of programs to build human capacity through training or further education can be estimated. Although such estimates are necessarily qualified, they provide a basis for quantifying the value of building research and development capacity.

description: La révision à mi-parcours de la PAC marque une rupture importante dans le mode d'intervention des pouvoirs publics au sein du secteur laitier. Si la baisse des prix d'intervention du beurre et de la poudre de lait écrémé se répercute avec une forte intensité sur le prix du lait payé aux producteurs, de nombreuses exploitations laitières françaises, spécialisées et faiblement efficaces, seront économiquement fragilisées. A l'horizon 2008, les paiements directs joueront un rôle déterminant dans la formation du revenu des producteurs de lait. Concernées par le dispositif de la modulation dans une forte proportion, mais pour un niveau de prélèvement faible, les différentes catégories d'exploitations laitières seront, en revanche, très sensibles aux conditions d'application du découplage (découplage partiel ou total, références individuelles historiques ou régionalisation).

description: We consider a first-passage percolation model on a Delaunay triangulation of the plane. In this model each edge is independently equipped with a nonnegative random variable, with distribution function F, which is interpreted as the time it takes to traverse the edge. Vahidi-Asl and Wierman have shown that, under a suitable moment condition on F, the minimum time taken to reach a point x from the origin 0 is asymptotically μ(F)|x|, where μ(F) is a nonnegative finite constant. However the exact value of the time constant μ(F) still a fundamental problem in percolation theory. Here we prove that if F(0)<1-p_c^* then μ(F)>0, where p_c^* is a critical probability for bond percolation on the dual graph (Voronoi tessellation).

We show how to compute the coefficients of the expansion by recurrence and give a closed formula for the first two of them. As consequence, we calculate the density of states function of the Bochner-Laplacian and establish a symplectic version of the convergence of the induced Fubini-Study metric. We also discuss generalizations of the asymptotic expansion for non-compact or singular manifolds as well as their applications. Our approach is inspired by the analytic localization techniques of Bismut-Lebeau.

description: D'une manière générale, un découplage complet des aides, une des options possibles de la réforme de 2003, se traduit par une régression des grandes cultures et une extensification de la production de viande bovine ; extensification permettant d'échapper à la déprise. Selon les régions, les évolutions sont toutefois contrastées. Les grandes cultures se maintiennent mieux dans les régions déjà spécialisées et baissent plutôt dans les zones les moins performantes, notamment en montagne. Le découplage complet est surtout défavorable au maintien du cheptel allaitant dans les régions du centre de la France où il y a en même temps extensification (alors que les élevages y sont déjà extensifs) et diminution du cheptel. Le recouplage partiel de la prime aux bovins mâles ne suffit pas à inverser nettement ces tendances, contrairement au recouplage de la prime à la vache allaitante. Dans les régions plus intensives, de l'ouest par exemple, les possibilités d'adaptation apparaissent plus importantes, même en cas de découplage complet : le cheptel bovin viande ne régresse pas avec l'extensification qui se fait au détriment des grandes cultures. Le recouplage partiel peut ainsi se traduire par une augmentation du cheptel bovin-viande. Si l'objectif des pouvoirs publics est de maintenir un certain équilibre dans la répartition géographique du cheptel bovin, le maintien de la prime couplée pour les vaches allaitantes peut se justifier.

Year: 2004

description: La principale innovation de la réforme de la PAC de 2003 par rapport aux précédentes est l'introduction du régime du paiement unique. Le principe général est de briser le lien entre le soutien des revenus agricoles et l'acte de production agricole. Toutefois, cette réforme autorise certaines dérogations à ce principe général, et ce à la discrétion des Etats membres. L'objectif de cet article est d'évaluer au niveau français les conséquences sur les marchés et les revenus de quatre options de mise en oeuvre de ce nouveau régime. Les simulations montrent que les impacts sur les marchés agricoles sont relativement peu sensibles à ces options, à la différence des revenus agricoles. Selon nos simulations, la possibilité d'introduire une aide unique à la surface fourragère à la place des aides directes animales apparaît comme un possible compromis entre les différents enjeux.

Assuming they are group members, we identify 9 galaxies with physical sizes and surface brightnesses that match the UDG criteria within our measurement uncertainties. They have mean colours of g--i = 0.6 and stellar masses of $\sim$10$^8$ M$_{\odot}$. Several galaxies appear to have associated systems of compact objects, e.g. globular clusters. Two UDGs contain a central bright nucleus, with a third UDG revealing a remarkable double nucleus. This appears to be the first reported detection of a double nucleus in a UDG - its origin is currently unclear.

We apply our technique to various classes of algebras, including monomial almost complete intersections and Gorenstein algebras. In particular, we prove that Gorenstein codimension three algebras arising from numerical semigroups have the strong Lefschetz property. We also study the reverse of the splitting operation -- a gluing operation -- which gives a way to construct monomial algebras with the Lefschetz properties.

description: A good parallelization strategy can significantly improve the efficiency or reduce the cost for the distributed training of deep neural networks (DNNs). Recently, several methods have been proposed to find efficient parallelization strategies but they all optimize a single objective (e.g., execution time, memory consumption) and produce only one strategy. We propose FT, an efficient algorithm that searches for an optimal set of parallelization strategies to allow the trade-off among different objectives. FT can adapt to different scenarios by minimizing the memory consumption when the number of devices is limited and fully utilize additional resources to reduce the execution time. For popular DNN models (e.g., vision, language), an in-depth analysis is conducted to understand the trade-offs among different objectives and their influence on the parallelization strategies. We also develop a user-friendly system, called TensorOpt, which allows users to run their distributed DNN training jobs without caring the details of parallelization strategies. Experimental results show that FT runs efficiently and provides accurate estimation of runtime costs, and TensorOpt is more flexible in adapting to resource availability compared with existing frameworks.

description: Fairly rapid environmental changes call for continuous surveillance and on-line decision making. There are two main areas where IT technologies can be valuable. In this paper we present a multi-agent system for monitoring and assessing air-quality attributes, which uses data coming from a meteorological station. A community of software agents is assigned to monitor and validate measurements coming from several sensors, to assess air-quality, and, finally, to fire alarms to appropriate recipients, when needed. Data mining techniques have been used for adding data-driven, customized intelligence into agents. The architecture of the developed system, its domain ontology, and typical agent interactions are presented. Finally, the deployment of a real-world test case is demonstrated.

description: La réforme de la PAC de juin 2003 dans le secteur des grandes cultures est marquée par l'introduction d'un paiement découplé et par la diminution des aides directes. Ces modifications peuvent avoir des répercussions sur les marchés des grandes cultures des différents pays de l'Union européenne mais aussi sur les marchés mondiaux et particulièrement sur celui du blé puisque l'UE est l'un des principaux exportateurs de cette céréale. Pour mesurer les répercussions sur les marchés mondiaux des grandes cultures (et notamment sur les prix mondiaux) on utilise un modèle d'équilibre partiel développé à l'INRA, financé par le ministère de l'Agriculture, de l'Alimentation, de la Pêche et des Affaires rurales et par Pluriagri (association rassemblant des professionnels). Les conséquences de la réforme sur les marchés mondiaux sont assez faibles.

Parental experiences : the transition to school for a child with cystic fibrosis
Creators: name: Meadows, Karen Lynne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research study was designed to explore the ways in which parents of a child with cystic fibrosis experienced their child's transition to school. Previous research has focused on the barriers families have faced, the challenges children with cystic fibrosis place on various systems and the intense medical needs of these children. However, due to changes in the treatment of cystic fibrosis and the improved quality of life of children diagnosed with this disease, a different perspective within the research is now required. It was discovered during this qualitative study that it is necessary to apply an ecological systems approach to exploring this issue as there are many factors within the family's experience that play a significant role during this time of transition in their lives. The qualitative descriptive analysis of the data revealed eight key themes. These themes included illness narratives, transition to school, strengths, supports accessed, protection, normalization, disclosure and future fears. The findings of this study allow for a deeper understanding of the families' experiences and document the families' ability to arrange the accommodations their child required, the strengths they relied on, the supports they accessed, and their unique needs and concerns during this time. The discussion highlights the importance for social workers when working with children and their families to work in partnership with families, incorporating strength-based principles into our practice, and applying an empowerment model within a family-centered approach to practice.

description: L'accord de Luxembourg, signé en juin 2003, constitue un changement majeur de la politique agricole commune (PAC). Il introduit le “découplage” des aides et rend leur octroi dépendant d'un certain nombre de conditions, en particulier de respect de l'environnement. Nous utilisons l'outil de simulation des réformes de la politique laitière développé à l'unité ESR de Toulouse pour évaluer la réforme de Luxembourg. Nous montrons que la réforme ne remet pas fondamentalement en cause l'équilibre des marchés du lait et des produits laitiers. Nous montrons également qu'il est peu probable que le découplage engendre une baisse significative de la production européenne. En revanche, l'introduction du découplage peut entraîner une restructuration de la production de lait et des produits laitiers et milite ainsi pour la mise en place d'un système plus fluide de transfert des quotas entre producteurs.

For these bodies, we prove geometric inequalities regarding volumes and mixed volumes, including Godberson's conjecture, near-optimal bounds on Mahler volumes, Saint-Raymond-type inequalities on mixed volumes, and reverse Kleitman inequalities for mixed volumes. We apply our results to the combinatorics of posets and prove Sidorenko-type inequalities for linear extensions of pairs of 2-dimensional posets. The results rely on some elegant decompositions of differences of anti-blocking bodies, which turn out to hold for anti-blocking bodies with respect to general polyhedral cones.

description: Le cycle actuel des négociations commerciales multilatérales à l'Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) doit théoriquement être clos au 1er janvier 2005. L'échec de la 5ème Conférence ministérielle de Cancun en septembre 2003 fait qu'il est peu probable que cette date butoir sera respectée. Il n'a pas été possible, en particulier, d'aboutir à un accord sur le dossier agricole. Il est néanmoins vraisemblable qu'il y aura un nouvel accord agricole et que ce dernier contiendra, au minimum, des engagements additionnels à ceux de l'accord précédent, l'accord agricole du cycle de l'Uruguay (AACU), engagements visant à davantage ouvrir les marchés, réduire les exportations subventionnées et diminuer le soutien interne quand celui-ci a des effets de distorsion sur les échanges considérés comme trop importants. Il est en outre possible que l'accord agricole du cycle de Doha soit plus sévère que l'AACU, par exemple en remettant en cause non plus seulement les modalités d'octroi du soutien interne mais aussi son niveau total. L'objectif de cet article est d'évaluer la marge de manoeuvre de l'Union européenne (UE) à l'OMC suite aux réformes de la politique agricole commune (PAC) de 1999 (réforme Agenda 2000) et de 2003 (compromis de Luxembourg).

Les producteurs agricoles, confrontés à la puissance d'achat croissante de la grande distribution, accusent la réglementation de manquer sa cible et d'engendrer des effets pervers. La récente prise de position de Michel Edouard Leclerc contre la loi Galland relance le débat.

description: We have conducted a programme to determine the fundamental parameters of a substantial number of eclipsing binaries of spectral types O and B in the Small Magellanic Cloud. New spectroscopic data, obtained with the two-degree-field multi-object spectrograph on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope, have been used in conjunction with photometry from the Optical Gravitational Lens Experiment (OGLE-II) database of SMC eclipsing binaries. Previously we reported results for 10 systems; in this second and concluding paper we present spectral types, masses, radii, temperatures, surface gravities and luminosities for the components of a further 40 binaries. The full sample of 50 OB-type eclipsing systems is the largest single set of fundamental parameters determined for high-mass binaries in any galaxy. We find that 21 of the systems studied are in detached configurations, 28 are in semi-detached post-mass-transfer states, and one is a contact binary. Each system provides a primary distance indicator. We find a mean distance modulus to the SMC of 18.91+/-0.03+/-0.1 (internal and external uncertainties; D=60.6+/-1.0 kpc). This value represents one of the most precise available determinations of the distance to the SMC.

description: L’usage fréquent et répété de boycotts de consommateurs par un certain nombre d’acteurs de la protection environnementale et de la société civile conduit à s’interroger sur les chances réelles d’efficacité de cet outil. Croisant des éléments d’analyse économique des comportements et de théorie des jeux, nous proposons de distinguer les sources majeures d’inefficacité de ce type d’actions, et notamment, la faiblesse de la coordination entre acteurs, la présence potentiellement massive de passagers clandestins, les caractéristiques des marchés et des technologies alternatives, etc. Ces travaux permettent de dégager des pistes de réflexion sur l’efficacité relative de la consommation citoyenne. Nous illustrons notre propos par l’exemple de l’exploitation de bois tropicaux.

description: Les disparités d’imposition entre collectivités territoriales ont longtemps été expliquées par les seules caractéristiques spécifiques à chacune des collectivités. On doit cependant considérer que les choix fiscaux des collectivités sont également guidés par des relations de concurrence ou de coopération qui se nouent entre elles. En s’appuyant ici sur une analyse de la fiscalité adoptée par les établissements publics de coopération intercommunale à taxe professionnelle unique, on montre qu’il y a bien en France des interactions fiscales entre groupements intercommunaux. Le choix d’un taux de taxe d’une collectivité influence ainsi les choix des collectivités environnantes. Par ailleurs, les espaces urbains bénéficient d’une rente d’agglomération imposable. Les entreprises implantées en ville consentent à y supporter un coût fiscal supérieur, tant que celui-ci est compensé par les avantages à l’agglomération liés à la concentration d’activités privées. Les collectivités urbaines et rurales ne disposent donc pas de la même marge de manoeuvre en termes de fiscalité locale. Les collectivités territoriales rurales ne peuvent se permettre d’augmenter leur taux d’imposition sans voir fuir leur base.

description: In this study, we report a straightforward oxidative cross-coupling synthesis of carbodiimide tethered amino acid conjugates from amino acid-derived isocyanides and aryl amines mediated by I2/tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Using this protocol, the title compounds were obtained in good isolated yields. This protocol is of short reaction duration, base-free, racemization free and avoids the necessity of transition metal catalysts.
Die Millenniums-Runde der WTO-Verhandlungen und die Zukunft der EU-Agrarpolitik

description: The Uruguay Round has established completely new rules for agricultural trade, but not yet achieved much liberalisation. The current new round of negotiations will, therefore, have to make another big step forward. Countries’ views on what exactly should be agreed in the new round still differ widely. However, it is remarkable that no country has so far doubted the validity of the new WTO rules for agriculture, nor refused to engage in serious negotiations about further reductions. The EU has so far not had major difficulties to honour the new commitments that resulted from the Uruguay Round, though in the area of export subsidies the constraints have already been felt. In the new round of negotiations, EU export subsidies will be a primary target of negotiations, given the fact that the EU grants around 88 % of all agricultural export subsidies world-wide. It will, therefore, be important for the EU to change its policies such that EU agriculture can export without subsidies. In the cereals sector, Agenda 2000 has made a notable step in this direction. For other products, though, the EU will need more reforms in the future.

description: The cloud computing literature provides various ways to utilise cloud services, each with a different viewpoint, focus, and mostly using heterogeneous technical-centric terms. This hinders efficient and consistent knowledge flow across the community. Little, if any, research has aimed on developing an integrated process model which captures core domain concepts and ties them together to provide an overarching view of migrating legacy systems to cloud platforms that is customisable for a given context. We adopt design science research guidelines in which we use a metamodeling approach to develop a generic process model and then evaluate and refine the model through three case studies and domain expert reviews. This research benefits academics and practitioners alike by underpinning a substrate for constructing, standardising, maintaining, and sharing bespoke cloud migration models that can be applied to given cloud adoption scenarios.

description: In this paper we propose a new strategy, based on anomaly detection methods, to search for new physics phenomena at colliders independently of the details of such new events. For this purpose, machine learning techniques are trained using Standard Model events, with the corresponding outputs being sensitive to physics beyond it. We explore three novel AD methods in HEP: Isolation Forest, Histogram Based Outlier Detection, and Deep Support Vector Data Description; alongside the most customary Autoencoder. In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the proposed approach, predictions from specific new physics models are considered and compared to those achieved when using fully supervised deep neural networks. A comparison between shallow and deep anomaly detection techniques is also presented. Our results demonstrate the potential of semi-supervised anomaly detection techniques to extensively explore the present and future hadron colliders' data.

description: Agent Academy (AA) aims to develop a multi-agent society that can train new agents for specific or general tasks, while constantly retraining existing agents in a recursive mode. The system is based on collecting information both from the environment and the behaviors of the acting agents and their related successes/failures to generate a body of data, stored in the Agent Use Repository, which is mined by the Data Miner module, in order to generate useful knowledge about the application domain. Knowledge extracted by the Data Miner is used by the Agent Training Module as to train new agents or to enhance the behavior of agents already running. In this paper the Agent Academy framework is introduced, and its overall architecture and functionality are presented. Training issues as well as agent ontologies are discussed. Finally, a scenario, which aims to provide environmental alerts to both individuals and public authorities, is described an AA-based use case.

description: The proclaimed aim of agricultural inheritance law in Germany and its preferential treatment of the farm successors is to maintain sustainable agricultural enterprises. To clarify this situation, this contribution exemplifies the financial assistance obtained through the legal situation and analyses a farm survey of about 1000 farms larger than 30 ha. As a result, it is noted that not only sustainable but also unsustainable farms are protected from division – an effect which causes delay in structural change. It is therefore suggested that the agricultural inheritance law be changed in such ways that only the so-called BGB land value law and the allocation rights included in the land trade laws are maintained. As a consequence, the incentive of the farm owner or his successor is required if special inheritance laws are to be implemented.
