description: Although the effect of HACCP on international trade is an issue with many concerns recently, only a few empirical studies focus on the impact of HACCP on U.S seafood export industry. Using the approach of Gravity Model with adjustment of unobserved country characteristics, this paper contributes to analyze the differential effects of HACCP implementation on three kinds of seafood: fishes, mollusca, and shellfish other than mollusca. The results indicate that HACCP application has negative but insignificant effect on seafood exports in the short run. In the long run, HACCP only negatively and significantly affect seafood exports of mollusca and shellfish. Moreover, the higher risk of food born disease seafood has, the easier is seafood trading affected by the enforcement of stricter food safety standards.

description: The two-photon two-neutrino interaction induced by magnetic field is investigated. In particular the processes $γγ\to ν\bar ν$ and $γ\to γν\bar ν$ are studied in the presence of strong magnetic field. An effective Lagrangian and partial amplitudes of the processes are presented. Neutrino emissivities due to the reactions $γγ\to ν\bar ν$ and $γ\to γν\bar ν$ are calculated taking into account of the photon dispersion and large radiative corrections. A comparison of the results obtained with previous estimations and another inducing mechanisms of the processes under consideration is made.

description: Starting with a group of reinforcement-learning agents we derive coupled replicator equations that describe the dynamics of collective learning in multiagent systems. We show that, although agents model their environment in a self-interested way without sharing knowledge, a game dynamics emerges naturally through environment-mediated interactions. An application to rock-scissors-paper game interactions shows that the collective learning dynamics exhibits a diversity of competitive and cooperative behaviors. These include quasiperiodicity, stable limit cycles, intermittency, and deterministic chaos--behaviors that should be expected in heterogeneous multiagent systems described by the general replicator equations we derive.

description: Raisins are one of important products of California. Almost all U.S. raisins are produced near Fresno California’s central valley due to its hot growing season and abundant water supply. U.S. is the leading exporter of raisins in the world. This paper investigates the export demand function of U.S. raisins for the top five importer countries. The relationship of quantity exported with export price, other exporters’ prices, real income, and exchange rate is estimated. The model used is a logarithmic panel data model for the 1992-2008 periods. The model used is in log-log format to determine own- price, cross price, and income elasticities for the commodity.

description: For democracy in ethnically divided societies, political moderation is crucial. The centripetalist school recommends that countries should introduce institutions which offer parties and candidates incentives to rally for votes across ethnic lines. This article discusses the conditions of the centripetal effect of institutions, and actors’ strategies to dismantle this effect. Political elites might try to escape the pressure to seek inter-ethnic votes by building strategic electoral alliances that circumvent the centripetal effect, by engineering the composition of voters in electoral districts, engineering group identities, or mobilizing new voters. Empirically, this article analyses mayoral elections under the two-round majority vote, in a context where they display quasi-centripetal features: five South-Eastern European towns with ethnically heterogeneous populations, split evenly between two groups. Results show that political elites only exceptionally resort to centripetal strategies as expected by theory. Instead, alternative strategies, circumventing the centripetal effect, are predominant.

description: The research addresses the economic problem of deforestation. A contributing factor to deforestation is coffee production. Coffee is an indigenous plant that is naturally occurring in the native tropical forests. However, conventional coffee is grown on cleared forest soil. In the native forest there is the potential for additional fruits (bananas, mangoes, avocados) and wood products while in the conventional coffee production system the only product is coffee. Conventional coffee production often causes deforestation and soil erosion while the organic coffee production system does not. In addition, the price risk associated with the coffee monoculture is high and has proven disastrous to the sustainability of coffee production in past years. Thus, determining the comparative cost and return between the two methods can provide important information for coffee producers. The purpose of the research is to determine the per acre profitability between conventional and organic coffee. This will be determined by researching the distribution of quantity on representative plots. This will help identify any size or scale economies. Determining the difference in profit per acre between organic and conventional coffee production included identifying and working with production stakeholders, engaging in fieldwork, site and case study selection, and determining measurable, non-market benefits and costs that pertain to environmental and community factors. This included, but is not limited to fertilization, water, pesticide use, and timber harvest.

description: This study used information about a farm in the Victorian Mallee during the period 1998 – 2005 to analyse the profitability of investing in Precision Agriculture and Site-Specific Crop Management technology and farming systems. Two equipment guidance systems were evaluated. Both guidance systems earned more than 8 percent real return p.a. on the extra capital invested. A Real-Time Kinetic (RTK) guidance system with a precision of 2 cm and a capital cost of $50,000 was less profitable than a Sub-Metre guidance system with 20 cm accuracy and costing $20,000. Producers investing in RTK guidance technology would be well-paid to also adopt supporting management practices that enhance crop gross margins or provide other benefits. The capital cost of GPS technology has to be spread over sufficient hectares. Investment in Zone Management technologies to fine-tune applications of nitrogen within paddocks did not meet the required return on capital of 8 percent p.a. With the spatial variability on this farm, 1670 hectares of crop were required for the investment to break-even with alternative uses of the capital. Alternatively, with 900 hectares cropped on this case study farm, spatial variation of at least 2.5 t/ha in yield across paddocks was required to justify the investment in the Zone Management technology.

description: Huntington famously distinguished between waves of democratization and de-democratization. Based on an alternative conceptualization of waves of regime change and novel data on episodes of democratization and autocratization, Lührmann and Lindberg identify three waves of autocratization where the most recent and ongoing began in 1994, affects a higher number of democracies, and unfolds relatively slowly and piecemeal. In this note, however, I argue that both their definition and their measurement of waves of democratization and autocratization are questionable. First, their operationalization of regime changes do not capture all degrees of change and it provides a skewed account since the criteria used to identify episodes of autocratization and democratization are not balanced. Second, their definition of waves of regime change deviates from the conventional understandings as it emphasizes relative trends in the number of upturns and downsturns rather than looking at the relative size or the relative number of autocratizations vis-à-vis democratizations. The last part of the article shows that an alternative, more intuitively appealing understanding and operationalization supports different conclusions regarding the periodization of waves.

description: Understanding users' context is essential for successful recommendations, especially for Online-to-Offline (O2O) recommendation, such as Yelp, Groupon, and Koubei. Different from traditional recommendation where individual preference is mostly static, O2O recommendation should be dynamic to capture variation of users' purposes across time and location. However, precisely inferring users' real-time contexts information, especially those implicit ones, is extremely difficult, and it is a central challenge for O2O recommendation. In this paper, we propose a new approach, called Mixture Attentional Constrained Denoise AutoEncoder (MACDAE), to infer implicit contexts and consequently, to improve the quality of real-time O2O recommendation. In MACDAE, we first leverage the interaction among users, items, and explicit contexts to infer users' implicit contexts, then combine the learned implicit-context representation into an end-to-end model to make the recommendation. MACDAE works quite well in the real system. We conducted both offline and online evaluations of the proposed approach. Experiments on several real-world datasets (Yelp, Dianping, and Koubei) show our approach could achieve significant improvements over state-of-the-arts. Furthermore, online A/B test suggests a 2.9% increase for click-through rate and 5.6% improvement for conversion rate in real-world traffic. Our model has been deployed in the product of "Guess You Like" recommendation in Koubei.

description: The process of star formation in interstellar molecular clouds is believed to be controlled by driven supersonic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We suggest that in the inertial range such turbulence obeys the Kolmogorov law, while in the dissipative range it behaves as Burgers turbulence developing shock singularities. On the base of the She-Leveque analytical model we then predict the velocity power spectrum in the inertial range to be E_k ~ k^{-1.74}. This result reproduces the observational Larson law, ~ l^{0.74...0.76}, [Larson, MNRAS 194 (1981) 809] and agrees well with recent numerical findings by Padoan and Nordlund [astro-ph/0011465]. The application of the model to more general dissipative structures, with higher fractal dimensionality, leads to better agreement with recent observational results.

description: During recent years, there has been interest in once-a-day (OAD) milking. A comparison was made of OAD with twice-a-day (TAD) milking on a case study farm in northern Victoria. The comparison suggests that operating profit and internal rate of return are similar to TAD milking if the decrease in milk protein plus fat production, as a result of OAD milking, is less than 12 percent. Although a decrease in milk protein plus fat production of this magnitude may be achievable on some farms in Australia, the decrease is likely to be greater than this in many instances, resulting in reduced profit when changing from TAD to OAD milking. To achieve comparable operating profit with OAD milking, a farm system would need to be well suited to OAD milking, and the implementation well planned and executed. The profitability of switching to OAD milking is sensitive to the amount of genuine savings in labour costs or the ability to make real earnings from off-farm employment. For the case study farm analysed, increasing the stocking rate when switching to OAD milking was not an appropriate option when pasture consumption remained the same. On farms where stocking rates are lower or opportunities exist to increase pasture consumption or where cows are consuming less grain per cow and more pasture per cow, it may be profitable to increase stocking rate when switching to OAD milking.

description: We propose a new abstract formalism for probabilistic timed systems, Parametric Interval Probabilistic Timed Automata, based on an extension of Parametric Timed Automata and Interval Markov Chains. In this context, we consider the consistency problem that amounts to deciding whether a given specification admits at least one implementation. In the context of Interval Probabilistic Timed Automata (with no timing parameters), we show that this problem is decidable and propose a constructive algorithm for its resolution. We show that the existence of timing parameter valuations ensuring consistency is undecidable in the general context, but still exhibit a syntactic condition on parameters to ensure decidability. We also propose procedures that resolve both the consistency and the consistent reachability problems when the parametric probabilistic zone graph is finite.

description: We propose that the inflaton is coupled to ordinary matter only gravitationally and that it decays into a completely hidden sector. In this scenario both baryonic and dark matter originate from the decay of a flat direction of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), which is shown to generate the desired adiabatic perturbation spectrum via the curvaton mechanism. The requirement that the energy density along the flat direction dominates over the inflaton decay products fixes the flat direction almost uniquely. The present residual energy density in the hidden sector is typically shown to be small.

description: Η διεθνής εξάπλωση των ασθενειών έχει προκαλέσει τεράστιο πλήγμα στην ανθρώπινη ζωή παγκοσμίως και η απειλή φαίνεται να συνεχίζεται με πολύ μεγαλύτερη ένταση στον 21ο αιώνα. Η νόσος του Covid-19 είναι μια σοβαρή οξεία αναπνευστική λοίμωξη που προκαλείται από έναν τύπο ιού που ξεκίνησε για πρώτη φορά από την Wuhan, Κίνα τον Δεκέμβριο του 2019 και γρήγορα εξαπλώθηκε σε όλο τον κόσμο προκαλώντας την πανδημία Covid-19. Το Covid-19 ήδη έχει επεκταθεί με ταχείς ρυθμούς και αφορά πλέον όλες τις χώρες του πλανήτη με εξαιρετικά μολυσματικές δυνατότητες και συχνά θανατηφόρες συνέπειες. Η πανδημία COVID-19 έχει διαταράξει τα συστήματα υγείας παγκοσμίως και οι περισσότερες χώρες δεν έχουν ακόμη ανακάμψει από τις άμεσες επιπτώσεις της αυξημένης θνησιμότητας και της νοσηρότητας λόγω της λοίμωξης SARS-CoV-2. Η παγκόσμια πανδημία μπορεί να επηρεάσει το πρόγραμμα ανοσοποίησης οδηγώντας σε μείωση των οικονομικών, ανθρώπινων και άλλων πόρων, κοινωνική αστάθεια, περιορίζοντας την πολιτική προσοχή και τις προτεραιότητες υγείας της χώρας. H μείωση της κάλυψης εμβολιασμού και η άρνηση εμβολιασμού κατά τη διάρκεια της πανδημίας μπορεί να επηρεάσει δυσμενώς τη διάδοση ενός επικείμενου εμβολίου SARS-CoV-2. Η ανάγκη καθορισμού μιας ολοκληρωμένης στρατηγικής που θα μπορούσε να περιλαμβάνει όλες τις οντότητες για την προστασία των ατόμων και τον μετριασμό του αντίκτυπου της επιδημίας είναι ζωτικής σημασίας. Η κρίση του COVID-19 δημιουργεί επιπτώσεις σε όλη την παγκόσμια και περιφερειακή αλυσίδα εφοδιασμού, διαταράσσοντας τη ζήτηση και την προσφορά. Επιπλέον, οι πολιτικές κοινωνικής απόστασης έχουν καταστρέψει σχεδόν τις βιομηχανίες υπηρεσιών, όπως τα ταξίδια και ο τουρισμός και η φιλοξενία, οι οποίες δυνητικά προκαλούν ύφεση. Διεθνείς Οικονομικοί Οργανισμοί, προσπάθησαν να ποσοτικοποιήσουν τις επιπτώσεις του COVID-19 και να ενσωματώσουν τον αντίκτυπό τους στις πλήρως εκτεταμένες προβλέψεις τους για την παγκόσμια οικονομία. Ο ποσοτικός προσδιορισμός του αντίκτυπου, ο οποίος βασίζεται σε μεγάλο βαθμό στην ανάλυση προσομοίωσης, περιβάλλεται από υψηλό βαθμό αβεβαιότητας, λόγω της απρόβλεπτης λειτουργίας παραγόντων, όπως η επιτυχία των μέτρων περιορισμού και η πιθανή εμφάνιση διαδοχικών εστιών.

description: The binary compounds GdIr3, TbIr3 and HoIr3 are synthesized successfully and found to form in macroscopic co-existence of two polymorphic phases: C15b and AuCu3-type. The dc magnetization and heat capacity studies confirm that C15b phase orders ferromagnetically, whereas the AuCu3 phase remains paramagnetic down to 2 K. The frequency dependent ac-susceptibility data, time dependent magnetic relaxation behavior and magnetic memory effect studies suggest that TbIr3 and HoIr3 are cannonical spin-glass system, but no glassy feature could be found in GdIr3. The critical behavior of all the three compounds has been investigated from the magnetization and heat capacity measurements around the transition temperature (TC). The critical exponents alpha, beta, gamma and delta have been estimated using different techniques such as Arrott-Noaks plot, Kouvel-Fisher plot, critical isotherm as well as analysis of specific heat data and study of magnetocaloric effect. The critical analysis study identifies the type of universal magnetic class in which the three compounds belong.

description: In this paper we study the zero inertia limit that is from the hyperbolic to parabolic Ericksen-Leslie's liquid crystal flow. By introducing an initial layer and constructing an energy norm and energy dissipation functional depending on the solutions of the limiting system, we derive a global in time uniform energy bound to the remainder system under the small size of the initial data.

description: This paper examines the cost of electric power consumption on New York dairy farms. More specifically, it is a preliminary evaluation of the cost changes that dairy farmers may experience when residential time-of-use electricity rates are implemented by New York State utilities. Using a model developed for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, the operating cost of farm electrical equipment is estimated using both flat rate pricing and NMPC's new time-of-use rates, which are now being implemented for their farm and residential customers. Twenty-five "typical" family-operated dairy farms are evaluated with this model. Initial results indicate a cost decrease up to 10 percent as a result of the switch to time-of-use rates. Larger farms will experience a greater percent decrease in electricity costs than smaller farms. Electricity costs for all major end uses are lower with time-of-use rates than with a flat rate. These estimates assume no response in the farmer's schedule or equipment usage. Model refinement will continue.

description: The magnetic chemically peculiar (Ap/CP2) star 21 Com has been extensively studied in the past, albeit with widely differing and sometimes contradictory results, in particular concerning the occurrence of short term variability between about 5 to 90 minutes. We have performed a new investigation of 21 Com using MOST satellite and high-cadence ground-based photometry, time series spectroscopy, and evolutionary and pulsational modeling. Our analysis confirms that 21 Com is a classical CP2 star showing increased abundances of, in particular, Cr and Sr. From spectroscopic analysis, we have derived Teff = 8900(200) K, log g = 3.9(2), and vsini = 63(2) km/s. Our modeling efforts suggest that 21 Com is a main sequence (MS) star seen equator-on with a mass of 2.29(10) M(Sun) and a radius of R = 2.6(2) R(Sun). Our extensive photometric data confirm the existence of rotational light variability with a period of 2.05219(2) d. However, no significant frequencies with a semi-amplitude exceeding 0.2 mmag were found in the frequency range from 5 to 399 c/d. Our RV data also do not indicate short-term variability. We calculated pulsational models assuming different metallicities and ages, which do not predict the occurrence of unstable modes. The star 18 Com, often employed as comparison star for 21 Com in the past, has been identified as a periodic variable (P = 1.41645 d). While it is impossible to assess whether 21 Com has exhibited short-term variability in the past, the new observational data and several issues/inconsistencies identified in previous studies strongly suggest that 21 Com is neither a delta Scuti nor a roAp pulsator but a "well-behaved" CP2 star exhibiting its trademark rotational variability.

description: We study energy relaxation in thermalized one-dimensional nonlinear arrays of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam type. The ends of the thermalized systems are placed in contact with a zero-temperature reservoir via damping forces. Harmonic arrays relax by sequential phonon decay into the cold reservoir, the lower frequency modes relaxing first. The relaxation pathway for purely anharmonic arrays involves the degradation of higher-energy nonlinear modes into lower energy ones. The lowest energy modes are absorbed by the cold reservoir, but a small amount of energy is persistently left behind in the array in the form of almost stationary low-frequency localized modes. Arrays with interactions that contain both a harmonic and an anharmonic contribution exhibit behavior that involves the interplay of phonon modes and breather modes. At long times relaxation is extremely slow due to the spontaneous appearance and persistence of energetic high-frequency stationary breathers. Breather behavior is further ascertained by explicitly injecting a localized excitation into the thermalized array and observing the relaxation behavior.

description: Η παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διπλωματική έχει ως στόχο να αναλύσει την έννοια της ηγεσίας κυρίως στη διαχείριση κρίσεων. Η εργασία προσπάθησε να δώσει λύση στα εξής προβλήματα που παρουσιάζονται: Ποια είναι η αντίδραση της ηγεσίας και των υπολοίπων υπευθύνων κρίσεως; Πως ένας ηγέτης αξιολογεί μια κρίση; Θα μπορέσει ένας ηγέτης να διαχειριστεί την κρίση, να λάβει τις σωστές αποφάσεις και να δώσει μια λύση στο πρόβλημα στη σωστή χρονική στιγμή; Η ηγεσία διορίζει μια από τις σημαντικότερες λειτουργίες των επιχειρήσεων και των οργανισμών. Για μια ορθή διαχείριση των κρίσεων, οι παράγοντες όπως: πρόληψη, σχεδιασμός στρατηγικής και άμεση απόκριση συνθέτουν ιδρυτικά χαρακτηριστικά για μια αποτελεσματική αντιμετώπιση μιας δύσκολης κατάστασης. Όπως είναι λογικό, σε μια έκτακτη ανάγκη, οι εργαζόμενοι νιώθουν ευάλωτοι καθώς και ανασφάλεια, αβεβαιότητα και είναι ψυχολογικά φορτωμένοι. Ο ηγέτης είναι εκείνος, από τον οποίο περιμένουν να τους καθησυχάσει και να νιώσουν ασφάλεια κοντά του καθώς τον βλέπουν ως «ήρωα». Η θέση του ηγέτη είναι η πιο δύσκολη, εφόσον σε μια τέτοια στιγμή θα πρέπει να λάβει δύσκολες αποφάσεις από τη στιγμή που ο χρόνος τον πιέζει αφάνταστα και μια λάθος απόφαση ίσως να τα καταστρέψει όλα. Είναι σημαντικό, η ηγεσία να διαθέτει απαραίτητα στοιχεία βάσει των οποίων θα μπορέσουν να ανταποκρίνονται στις δύσκολες αυτές καταστάσεις. Όμως, η εκτίμηση και η ιεράρχηση των προτεραιοτήτων, η συναισθηματική ικανότητα, η επικοινωνία, η άμεση λήψη αποφάσεων και η συνεργασία αποτελούν βασικά στάδια για μια αξιόλογη αντιμετώπιση των κρίσεων. Μια κρίση μπορεί να αποτελέσει είτε μια ευκαιρία είτε μια καταστροφή για έναν οργανισμό. Ο ηγέτης θα προσπαθήσει την κρίση αυτή, να την εκλάβει ως ευκαιρία.

Hence three distinct classes of curve evolution are associated with a given integrable equation. The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is used to illustrate this explicitly.

Spectral decomposition and extremes of atmospheric meridional energy transport in Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes

description: The atmospheric meridional energy transport in the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes is mainly accomplished by planetary and synoptic waves. A decomposition into wave components highlights the strong seasonal dependence of the transport, with both the total transport and the contributions from planetary and synoptic waves peaking in winter. In both winter and summer months, poleward transport extremes primarily result from a constructive interference between planetary and synoptic motions. The contribution of the mean meridional circulation is close to climatology. Equatorward transport extremes feature a mean meridional equatorward transport in winter, while the planetary and synoptic modes mostly transport energy poleward. In summer, a systematic destructive interference occurs, with planetary modes mostly transporting energy equatorward and synoptic modes again poleward. This underscores that baroclinic conversion dominates regardless of season in the synoptic wave modes, whereas the planetary waves can be either free or forced, depending on the season.
