Habitat use and behaviour of free range cattle on forested range in central B.C.
Creators: name: Liggins, Lavona Aletha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cattle use, activities, and social organisation were investigated among habitat types in the Robinson Unit, Williams Lake Forest District during the 1996 and 1997 grazing seasons (15 May to 15 October). Habitat types were defined by vegetative associations and included Meadow, Wet Edge, Dry Edge, Clearcut, Forest, and Other. The numbers of insects, forage biomass and quality, and natural mineral levels were compared among these habitat types. In addition I used correspondence analysis to identify habitat variables associated with individual cattle activities. Cattle concentrated in open habitats: Meadow, Wet Edge, Dry Edge, and Clearcut. During early morning foraging, cattle were often in riparian areas, while at other times they used non-riparian areas. Cattle use of edges (Wet and Dry) accounted for > 50% of observed use. At no time did cattle use Clearcut to the extent expected. Cattle did not perform activities with the same frequency in all habitat types, nor did calves and adult females perform activities with the same frequency. Insect abundance, forage biomass and quality, and minerals differed among habitat types. Differences in biomass and minerals appeared to be associated with cattle habitat use. In some areas, the soil surface contained mineral (exchangeable cation) levels higher than those recorded for natural mineral licks. Three ecological regimes were found to be of primary importance in correspondence analysis: moisture, shrub density, and climate. Grazing was associated with variables reflecting soil moisture and Browsing with moderate shrub/tree densities and cooler temperatures. Lying and Standing were associated with shade, high visibility, dry substrates, and proximity to roads. Variables not associated with specific cattle activities included: aspect, climate, poor visibility, obstacles, and moderate distances to roads and salt blocks. I recommend that future research include: using identified variables as attractants for cattle, increasing cattle use of clearcuts and working with foresters to minimise damage to tree seedlings, investigating the role of trails and spatial memory in cattle distribution, and the relationship between salt blocks, cattle, and natural minerals. Managers should incorporate the importance of forage density, cattle use of edges, and anti-predator and grouping behaviours into daily management.

description: Weakly interacting Fermi gases simulate spin-lattices in energy-space, offering a rich platform for investigating information spreading and spin coherence in a large many-body quantum system. We show that the collective spin vector can be determined as a function of energy from the measured spin density, enabling general energy-space resolved protocols. We measure an out-of-time-order correlation function in this system and observe the energy dependence of the many-body coherence.

description: Designing cyber-physical systems is a complex task which requires insights at multiple abstraction levels. The choices of single components are deeply interconnected and need to be jointly studied. In this work, we consider the problem of co-designing the control algorithm as well as the platform around it. In particular, we leverage a monotone theory of co-design to formalize variations of the LQG control problem as monotone feasibility relations. We then show how this enables the embedding of control co-design problems in the higher level co-design problem of a robotic platform. We illustrate the properties of our formalization by analyzing the co-design of an autonomous drone performing search-and-rescue tasks and show how, given a set of desired robot behaviors, we can compute Pareto efficient design solutions.

description: `Einstein-Aether' theory, in which gravity couples to a dynamical, time-like, unit-norm vector field, provides a means for studying Lorentz violation in a generally covariant setting. Demonstrated here is the effect of a redefinition of the metric and vector field in terms of the original fields and two free parameters. The net effect is a change of the coupling constants appearing in the action. Using such a redefinition, one of the coupling constants can be set to zero, simplifying studies of solutions of the theory.

Elasticity and piezoelectricity of zinc oxide crystals, single layers, and possible single-walled nanotubes

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The elasticity and piezoelectricity of zinc oxide (ZnO) crystals and single layers are investigated from the first-principles calculations. It is found that a ZnO thin film less than three Zn-O layers prefers a planar graphite-like structure to the wurtzite structure. ZnO single layers are much more flexible than graphite single layers in the elasticity and stronger than boron nitride single layers in the piezoelectricity. Single-walled ZnO nanotubes (SWZONTs) can exist in principle because of their negative binding energy. The piezoelectricity of SWZONTs depends on their chirality. For most ZnO nanotubes except the zigzag type, twists around the tube axis will induce axial polarizations. A possible scheme is proposed to achieve the SWZONTs from the solid-vapor phase process with carbon nanotubes as templates.

description: All children enjoy inflating balloons and twisting them into different shapes and animals. Snapping the balloon into two separate compartments is a necessary step that bears resemblance to the pinch-off phenomenon for water droplet detached from the faucet. In addition to testing whether balloons exhibit the properties of self-similarity and memory effect that are often associated with the latter event, we determine their phase diagram by experiments. It turns out that a common party balloon does not just snap. They in fact can assume five more shapes, i.e., straight, necking, wrinkled, helix, and supercoil, depending on the twist angle and ratio of its length and diameter. Moreover, history also matters due to their prominent hysteresis. One may shift the phase boundary or/and reshuffle the phases by untwisting or lengthening the balloon at different twist angle and initial length. Heuristic models are provided to obtain analytic expressions for the phase boundaries.

Subjects: Farm Management

description: Since World War II there has been a rapid increase in the area sown to improved pastures in Australia generally and New South Wales in particular. Despite this increase there has been much speculation as to the reasons why even more country has not been improved, especially as spectacular increases in carrying capacity result. There have been a number of studies of economic aspects of pasture improvement stimulated by these observations. This study is intended to extend or supplement them, because much of the previous work has been somewhat limited. The objects of this paper are to:- (1) Outline the basic asumptions on which the whole study is based. (2) Determine, where finance is provided from savings supplemented by reinvestment of all profits (when necessary) due to the improvement programme:- (a) Whether the level of capital availability affects:- (i) The total capital required to get the property wholly under improved pasture. (ii) The rate of return on the money invested. (iii) The time before the programme becomes self financing. (iv) The years when capital is most limiting. (b) The optimum method or methods of sowing pasture, and whether sowing should be yearly or at irregular intervals.

description: The role of the Jews in Goa’s transoceanic trade has been largely glossed over. It is only lately that some work is being done in that regard. However most of the studies concern their activities after the advent of the Portuguese. But the clout that the Jews wielded in trade, and consequently in the politics in Goa, was definitely of a much older vintage. To gain a perspective on the Jews in Goa we will have to wind back to the very first major port city and capital in Goa that we have discussed - Baḷīpaṭṭan or Vaḷīpaṭṭan, that is modern Velim; and then follow them as the trade and the power moved to Cāṁdrapur (Cāṁdar), Gopakāpaṭṭan and Old Goa.

description: Phase retrieval can be expressed as one non-convex constrained optimization problem to identify one phase minimizer in the primal space. Many iterative transform techniques have been proposed to identify the minimizer, e.g., relaxed averaged alternating reflections(RAAR) algorithms. RAAR algorithm is one alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM) with one penalty parameter. Pairing with multipliers (dual vectors), phase vectors are lifted to higher dimensional vectors, RAAR algorithms actually is one continuation algorithm, which searches for local Nash equilibria in a primal-dual space. The dual iteration approximates one gradient ascent flow, which drives the corresponding local minimizers in a positive-definite Hessian region. The penalty parameter, which is the reciprocal of the RAAR parameter, plays a role of altering the size of the attractor basin for each stationary point. Under proper penalty parameters, the RAAR avoids the stagnation of these corresponding local minimizers in the primal space and thus screens out many stationary points corresponding to non-local minimizers.

description: The existing malware classification approaches (i.e., binary and family classification) can barely benefit subsequent analysis with their outputs. Even the family classification approaches suffer from lacking a formal naming standard and an incomplete definition of malicious behaviors. More importantly, the existing approaches are powerless for one malware with multiple malicious behaviors, while this is a very common phenomenon for Android malware in the wild. So, neither of them can provide researchers with a direct and comprehensive enough understanding of malware. In this paper, we propose MLCDroid, an ML-based multi-label classification approach that can directly indicate the existence of pre-defined malicious behaviors. With an in-depth analysis, we summarize six basic malicious behaviors from real-world malware with security reports and construct a labeled dataset. We compare the results of 70 algorithm combinations to evaluate the effectiveness (best at 73.3%). Faced with the challenge of the expensive cost of data annotation, we further propose an active learning approach based on data augmentation, which can improve the overall accuracy to 86.7% with a data augmentation of 5,000+ high-quality samples from an unlabeled malware dataset. This is the first multi-label Android malware classification approach intending to provide more information on fine-grained malicious behaviors.

Pressure points : the theory and practice of communications planning for planners in sustainable development projects
Creators: name: Holland, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis addresses the question of how planners can develop communications plans to maximize their effectiveness when dealing with the mass media during the planning and implementation of sustainable development policy initiatives. Sustainable development brings new imperatives to the practice of planning, bringing attention to the need to develop within the earth's carrying capacity. The creation and implementation of sustainable development policy is fundamentally a cultural issue. Communication is a cornerstone of culture, as the medium for information exchange and the exercise of power, and the mass media are one of the most important communicators in today's society, exercising considerable influence over culture. The mass media also play a key role in governance and public policy, as a powerful but volatile stakeholder in policy communities. Within the context of the imperatives of sustainable development, planners should be cognizant of their role as social change agents, and use the mass media as a tool to broaden the education, information exchange and dialogue on the sustainability implications o f their projects. Planners can accomplish this most effectively by developing communications plans to accompany policy initiatives. By drawing on theory from many fields, including culture, communications, planning, social change, mass media and policy analysis, and integrating these issues into the practice of communications planning, this thesis proposes some communications planning guidelines, a list of issues to address, and a planning framework to facilitate the development of an hierarchy of communications plans.

description: The National Natural Park "Corales del Rosario y San Bernardo", located in the Caribbean Sea, is one of the most important parks in Colombia since it hosts high biological biodiversity, receives more tourists than any other natural park in the country and provides sustenance to several communities settled in and around it. However, lack of governance and incompatibility of incentives among authorities, communities and visitors threaten its conservation and sustainability. Using experimental economic games with fisherman communities, we tested different rules related with the management of natural resources in the protected area. In addition to standard rules of communication and external regulation, we tested a rule called co-management, in which we explored the complementarities between repeated communication and external non-coercive authority intervention. We also tested inter temporal effects where over extraction (by the group) in a round reduces the availability of resource for next round and, in consequence, increases effort and reduces benefits for fishers. Results confirmed the effectiveness of communication and, to some extent, external regulation. More important than that, co-management treatment exhibit no matter the location of the communities with respect to the park- the best results in terms of sustainable use of the resource. Participants incorporated dynamic implications in their decisions when information asymmetries were overcome, through internal communication or external guidance. These results highlight the importance of resource management designs that recognize communities as key actors in decision making for the sustainable use and conservation of common pool resources in protected areas.

description: In this paper, modelling and simulation of orthogonal metal cutting of Aluminium 6061-T6 is performed by finite element method using ANSYS 19.2 software. Effects of depth of cut, cutting speed and tool rake face angle on cutting variables such as cutting forces, chip morphology, temperature and stress distributions are investigated using the Johnson-Cook and Johnson-Cook damage models. Estimation of the influence and important process parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut, feed and tool rake angle on the cutting forces, temperature and stress distributions in tool geometries design and optimising the cutting conditions for profitable manufacture of quality machined products. Finite element modelling and simulation becomes an important alternative tool; where experimental techniques will require expensive equipment and result in material wastage. This makes it possible to predict the variation of important cutting variables without carrying out any experiment.

description: The azimuthal distribution of identified pi^0 and inclusive photons has been measured in sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions with the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The second harmonic parameter (v_2) was measured to describe the observed anisotropy of the azimuthal distribution. The measured inclusive photon v_2 is consistent with the value expected for the photons from hadron decay and is also consistent with the lack of direct photon signal over the measured p_T range 1-6 GeV/c. An attempt is made to extract v_2 of direct photons.

description: In addition to scope and scale embedding effects, temporal insensitivity of willingness to pay, also known as temporal embedding effect, has been a well known anomaly in eliciting willingness to pay for environmental quality change, especially over time. Stevens et al. (1997) defines two types of temporal embedding effects: strong insensitivity and weak insensitivity to payment schedule. This paper proposes an alternative definition of the temporal insensitivity. Temporal insensitivity implies that a subject in the survey responds consistently to value elicitation questions regardless of payment schemes. The sequential test tests the temporal insensitivity using the oyster reef restoration programs in Chesapeake Bay. Test results show that willingness to pay for the program is insensitive to the payment scheme or to the length of benefit stream of the project. Discount rates imbedded in cost stream vary significantly among the combination of project lengths and payment schemes.

description: As the sensitivities of LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detectors improve, calibration of the interferometers output is becoming more and more important and may impact scientific results. For the observing run O3, Virgo used for the first time photon calibrators (PCal) to calibrate the interferometer, using radiation pressure of a modulated auxiliary laser beam impinging on the Advanced Virgo end mirrors. Those optical devices, also used in LIGO, are now the calibration reference for the global gravitational wave detectors network. The intercalibration of LIGO and Virgo PCals, based on the same absolute reference called the Gold Standard, has allowed to remove a systematic bias of 3.92% that would have been present in Virgo calibration using the PCal. The uncertainty budget on the PCal-induced displacement of the end mirrors (NE and WE) of Advanced Virgo has been estimated to be 1.36% for O3a and 1.40% on NE PCal (resp. 1.74% on WE PCal) for O3b. This uncertainty is the limiting one for the global calibration of Advanced Virgo. It is expected to be reduced below 1% for the next observing runs.

description: Collisions of deformed uranium nuclei are studied in a Monte-Carlo Glauber model. For U+U at zero impact parameter (b=0) in the most favorable orientation (tip-to-tip), the transverse particle density (charged-particle rapidity density per weighted transverse area of the initial participant zone) increases by about 35% compared to Au+Au at b=0. To estimate the advantage of U+U over Au+Au in the context of real experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, we examine the effect of a range of centrality cuts on the event sample. In terms of the transverse particle density, the predicted advantage of U+U is about 16%.

description: In this paper, we theoretically explore the implications of social norms in deterring pollution standard fraud along with economic incentives provided both by markets and regulatory activities. The model assumes that a large number of risk-averse individuals differ not only in their private cost of compliance with the environmental standard but also in their individual aversion to fraud. The aversion of fraud is influenced by the extent of social norms. We show that there may be multiple equilibrium rates of compliance for a given enforcement policy. We also show that under risk aversion the potential loss in market revenues has an ambiguous effect on the equilibrium rates of compliance. Similarly, increasing the probability of audit may decrease the equilibrium rate of compliance when stochastic events make unvoluntary non compliance possible. Last, we show that the information brought to the market is crucial for polluters' behavior. For this, we explore the impact of self-reporting procedures and public disclosure of criminal records.

description: Irrigated agriculture often leads to recharge to local and regional groundwater systems greater than what the systems can absorb, resulting in the development of shallow watertables causing salinity and waterlogging. Policy based on emissions trading offers one option for effective management of existing recharge externalities if effective property rights to diffuse emissions can be defined. In this paper we combine the conclusions drawn from biophysical research with economic principles underpinning emissions trading to present such a system. Allocation of net recharge contracts to irrigation farms will internalize the costs associated with saline aquifer impacts. Irrigators may reduce their compliance costs by creating or purchasing credits that reduce recharge through perennial vegetation, engineering solutions or crop rotation options. We discuss the economic impacts of adopting such a policy in the Coleambally Irrigation Area in southwestern New South Wales, Australia. Conclusions drawn from our research are demonstrated using experimental economics.

We solve numerically the conformal thin-sandwich puncture (CTSP) equations for a single black hole with non-zero linear momentum. We show that conformally flat solutions for a boosted black hole have the same maximum gravitational radiation content as the corresponding Bowen-York solution in the conformal transverse-traceless decomposition. We find that the physical properties of these data are independent of the free slicing parameter.

description: Food safety concerns have had dramatic impacts on food and livestock markets in recent years. Here we examine consumer preferences for various beef food safety assurances. In particular, we evaluate the extent to which such preferences are heterogeneous within and across country-of-residence defined groups and examine the distributional nature of these preferences with respect to marginal improvements in food safety. We collected data from over 4,000 U.S., Canada, Japan, and Mexican consumers. Using mixed logit models we find that Japanese and Mexican consumers have WTP preferences that are nonlinear in the level of food safety risk reduction. Conversely, U.S .and Canadian consumers appear to possess linear preferences. These results suggest that optimal food safety investment strategies hinge critically upon consumer perception of actual food safety improvements, the distributional relationship describing the targeted consumer segment's tradeoff function between WTP premiums and risk reduction levels, and the cost structure of these investments.

description: We present a minimal model of asymptotic grand unification based on an $SU(5)$ gauge theory in a compact $S^1/(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}'_2)$ orbifold. The gauge couplings run to a unified fixed point in the UV, without supersymmetry. By construction, fermions are embedded in different $SU(5)$ bulk fields. As a consequence, baryon number is conserved, thus preventing proton decay, and the lightest Kaluza-Klein tier consists of new states that cannot decay into standard model ones. We show that the Yukawa couplings can be either in the bulk or localized, and run to an asymptotically free fixed point in the UV. The lightest massive state can play the role of Dark Matter, produced via baryogenesis, for a Kaluza-Klein mass of about $2.4$ TeV.

description: We investigate the fluctuations around the average density profile in the weakly asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries in the steady state. We show that these fluctuations are given, in the macroscopic limit, by a centered Gaussian field and we compute explicitly its covariance function. We use two approaches. The first method is dynamical and based on fluctuations around the hydrodynamic limit. We prove that the density fluctuations evolve macroscopically according to an autonomous stochastic equation, and we search for the stationary distribution of this evolution. The second approach, which is based on a representation of the steady state as a sum over paths, allows one to write the density fluctuations in the steady state as a sum over two independent processes, one of which is the derivative of a Brownian motion, the other one being related to a random path in a potential.

description: Since the discovery of the first BSE case in North America in 2003, food safety has become a major issue to policymakers and consumers alike. In both Canada and the US, governments and industry have responded with a variety of quality assurance, traceability and labeling schemes. However, there is little information available on the extent to which consumer perceptions differ regionally across North America towards labeling schemes. This paper attempts to fill this gap, by providing results on a variety of beef labeling strategies from choice experiments that were conducted in Alberta (Canada) and Montana (US). The analysis focuses on consumers' perceptions towards negative voluntary labeling with regard to BSE testing, genetically modified organisms (GMO) and the use of growth hormones in beef production. We find that four years after the first BSE case emerged in North America, consumers are willing to pay most to avoid risks associated with BSE. US and Canadian consumers are found not to be significantly heterogeneous in their preferences.

description: This study develops a dynamic multi-output model of farmers' crop allocation decisions that allows estimation of both short-run and long-run adjustments to a wide array of economic incentives. The method can be used to inform decision makers on a number of issues including agricultural policy reform and environmental regulation. The model allows estimation of dynamic effects relating to price expectations adjustment, investment lags, and crop rotation constraints. Estimation is based on micro-panel data from Danish farmers that includes acreage, output, and variable input utilization at the crop level. Results indicate that there are substantial differences between the short- and long-run land allocation behavior of Danish farmers and that there are substantial differences in the time lags associated with different crops. Since similar farming conditions are found in northern Europe and parts of the USA and Canada this result may have more general interest.
Calculation of Bit Error Ratio for Optically Pre-Amplified DPSK Receivers Using Optical Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Demodulation and Balanced Detection

description: This paper presents an analysis of how to calculate bit error ratio (BER) with physical explanation for optically pre-amplified DPSK receivers using optical Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) demodulation and balanced detection. It is shown that BER calculation method for this kind of receivers is different from the conventional calculation method used widely for IM/DD receivers. An analytical relationship in receiver sensitivity between DPSK receivers using MZI demodulation with balanced detection and IM/DD receivers (or DPSK receivers using MZI demodulation and single-port detection) is given based on the Gaussian noise approximation. Our calculation method correctly predicts the 3-dB improvement of receiver sensitivity by using balanced detection over single-port detection or IM/DD receivers. Furthermore, quantum-limited DPSK receivers with MZI demodulation are also analyzed.

A Hundred Years in the Making? The New Slovenian Biographical Lexicon
Creators: name: Testen Koren, Petra
name: Šterbenc Svetina, Barbara
name: Grum, Martin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The New Slovenian Biographical Lexicon (2013–2023) is the Slovenian national biographical lexicon and one of the central projects of the ZRC SAZU and the Institute of Cultural History ZRC SAZU. It continues and builds on the work of the Slovenian Biographical Lexicon (1925–1991; four books, fifteen volumes and Personal Index). In expanded descriptions, it presents the most prominent Slovenian and Slovenian-related personalities from all historical periods up to the present day. In the ten years since its launch, five volumes have been published: Volume One: A (2013), Volume Two: B–Bla (2017), Volume Three: Ble–By (2018), Volume Four: C (2022) and Volume Five: Č (2022). Since 2009, The New Slovenian Biographical Lexicon is also available on the Slovenian Biography web portal.
We will try to present the centuries-old heritage that The New Slovenian Biographical Lexicon draws on in its work. At the same time, we will also take a rough look at the history of biography in Slovenian territory, which we have already shown with the exhibition The Road to The New Slovenian Biographical Lexicon (29 August–11 September 2023) as a launch event for the tenth anniversary of The New Slovenian Biographical Lexicon. We will be interested in the parallels, differences, guidelines, fundamental questions and problems that have arisen over time when working with biographical texts.
Freeze-in produced dark matter in the ultra-relativistic regime

description: When dark matter particles only feebly interact with plasma constituents in the early universe, they never reach thermal equilibrium. As opposed to the freeze-out mechanism, where the dark matter abundance is determined at $T \ll M$, the energy density of a feebly interacting state builds up and increases over $T \gtrsim M$. In this work, we address the impact of the high-temperature regime on the dark matter production rate, where the dark and Standard Model particles are ultra-relativistic and nearly light-like. In this setting, multiple soft scatterings, as well as $2 \to 2$ processes, are found to give a large contribution to the production rate. Within the model we consider in this work, namely a Majorana fermion dark matter of mass $M$ accompanied by a heavier scalar $-$ with mass splitting $ΔM$ $-$ which shares interactions with the visible sector, the energy density can be dramatically underestimated when neglecting the high-temperature dynamics. We find that the overall effective $1 \leftrightarrow 2$ and $2 \to2$ high-temperature contributions to dark-matter production give $\mathcal{O}(10)$ (20\%) corrections for $ΔM /M =0.1$ ($ΔM /M =10$) to the Born production rate with in-vacuum masses and matrix elements. We also assess the impact of bound-state effects on the late-time annihilations of the heavier scalar, in the context of the super-WIMP mechanism.
