description: Against the backdrop of Marshall McLuhan's prophecy of a global village and the role of media technology, the paper examines this development vis-à-vis its efficacy in Christian video evangelism. An overview of historical video narrative in Nigeria and emergence of Christian video evangelism are presented as framework for examining the issues. The paper engages video communication technology as a viable modern medium for propagation of the gospel. To buttress this point, a number of examples from Nigerian Christian videos are reflected. In conclusion, the paper subscribes to the impact of video technology as a potential platform for Christian evangelization. The Church, para-church organizations, individual and independent Christian media groups are persuaded to engage in faith-based film production with the goal of evangelism.

description: Chive (Allium schoenoprasum L.) is one of the most popular culinary herbs in the Virgin Islands. There is always high demand for chives in local markets, but local production cannot supply the increasing demand. Low production level of chive in the Virgin Islands is attributed to constraints including insect pests, weeds and high cost of irrigation water. A study was conducted to evaluate the benefits of organic mulches on yield and economic returns from chive production. The study compared the effect of three organic mulches (grass straw, shredded paper and wood chips) against a synthetic mulch (white on black plastic) and no mulch (bare soil) at two locations (University of the Virgin Islands-UVI and VI Department of Agriculture-VI DA). No significant differences in plant height were observed at either or at VIDA. At UVI, bare plots produced higher number of slips than the plastic and wood chips mulch treatments. At the VIDA, the number of slips from the plastic mulch was superior to paper mulch. Chive grown with paper mulch and no mulch at UVI produced the highest fresh yield followed by straw mulch. At VIDA, all mulch treatments produced a higher yield than the bare, but plastic and wood chip mulch were significantly superior to bare plots. At both locations, all mulch plots resulted in lower weed population than bare plots. Average net economic return above mulch cost from small plot (0.06 ha) was highest ($5482) with paper mulch followed by grass straw mulch ($5167). The use of plastic and wood chip mulch resulted in lower net returns compared to bare plot. To improve production and income, herb growers should consider using organic mulch such as shredded paper and grass straw.

The empirical valuation of the potential success in low cost business model in Asian aviation market
Creators: name: Taweelertkunthon, Natthida
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The first low cost carrier phenomenon was observed in the US in the early 1970s even prior to deregulation in its domestic aviation in 1978. In the 1990s, this low cost evolution came across the Atlantic and it has been repeated in Europe. In Asia, the low cost challenge is a more recent phenomenon, but it is growing rapidly particularly in Southeast Asia, a unique region where economics and the aviation environment are unlike that of either the US or EU. This thesis thus asks a fundamental question of whether low cost carriers (LCCs) will enter and gain market share in Southeast Asia, in a similar fashion to what has happened in the US and EU. This thesis investigates two principal questions: (1) how serious a threat do Asian budget carriers pose to traditional state-owned carrier’s core business; we do this by examining what is the degree of demand substitutability among carriers?, (2) is there any risk of cannibalization in the ’airline within an airline model’ in this region, implying the major carrier’s launch of a low cost offshoot may not be a sustainable strategy to respond to low cost competition. Discrete choice models, multinomial logit (MNL) and nested logit (NL) models have been applied to estimate the factors affecting carrier choices based on data obtained from a passenger survey conducted at Bangkok International Airport in November 2005. The demand substitutability analysis reveals that for short haul leisure market, low cost carriers can easily penetrate this market with low fare no frills offerings. Short haul leisure passengers do not value differences in product offerings between network carrier and low cost carrier, and among the low cost carriers. Unlike leisure passengers, business passengers do value the competitive distance between the two different types of products offered by legacy carriers and low cost carriers. Market share simulations have provide some evidence of cannibalization in airline within an airline between Thai Airways and its low cost subsidiary Nok Air. The cause of their inadvertent self-cannibalization comes from the incompatibility and inadequate level of uniqueness and distinction between the mainline parent and its low cost offshoot.

description: The large capacity of neural networks enables them to learn complex functions. To avoid overfitting, networks however require a lot of training data that can be expensive and time-consuming to collect. A common practical approach to attenuate overfitting is the use of network regularization techniques. We propose a novel regularization method that progressively penalizes the magnitude of activations during training. The combined activation signals produced by all neurons in a given layer form the representation of the input image in that feature space. We propose to regularize this representation in the last feature layer before classification layers. Our method's effect on generalization is analyzed with label randomization tests and cumulative ablations. Experimental results show the advantages of our approach in comparison with commonly-used regularizers on standard benchmark datasets.

description: Continued intensive cropping of soils dedicated to vegetables in Puerto Rico reduces organic matter levels which results in increasing dependability on inorganic fertilizers and lowered agricultural sustainability. One alternative for organic matter maintenance in soils is to supplement these with biosolid-yard waste compost. Because we were concerned about possible deleterious salinity effects on field planted tomatoes, pot experiments were conducted for a period of six weeks two examine tomato (Lycopersicon esculenlum Mill, var. Bonanza) response to biosolid yard-waste compost addition in a Fraternidad clay (Typic Haplusterts) soil. Five compost levels (0, 50, 100, 200 and 2000 mt/ha) were added to soil in pots and tomato was grown with soil water at approximately field capacity. Plant height, stem diameter, leaf area index, and aboveground biomass all increased with each successive compost level added. SPAD chlorophyll meter readings were significantly higher with the 200 mt/ha compared to other treatments. We observed that leaves at the higher compost treatments appeared curled, with the edges cupped upwards suggestive of water stress. Since the pots were well watered we hypothesized that these were salinity induced effects, although leaf water potentials were not affected by compost levels. The results area encouraging because they demonstrate that plant vigor and biomass are increased with compost addition in the presence of adequate moisture and nutrients (N, P, and K levels) in soil. Soil pH and electrical conductivity were significantly influenced by compost addition due to the apparent inorganic character of the compost material, and the basic cation contribution. These are negative attributes that would limit long term use in neutral to alkaline soils of the semiarid southern coast of Puerto Rico.

description: We present a direct measurement of the spatiotemporal coherence of parametric down-conversion in the range of negative group-velocity dispersion. In this case, the frequency-angular spectra are ring-shaped and temporal coherence is coupled to spatial coherence. Correspondingly, the lack of coherence due to spatial displacement can be compensated with the introduction of time delay. We show a simple technique, based on a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which allowed us to measure time coherence and near-field space coherence simultaneously, with complete control of both variables. This technique will be also suitable for the measurement of second-order coherence, where the main applications are related to the two-photon spectroscopy.
title: Improvements to the acoustic pulse reflectometry technique for measuring duct dimensions
Creators: name: Li, Aijun
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2004

description: In the study of tubular structures such as pipeline sections, musical wind instruments and human airways, acoustic pulse reflectometry has become established as a useful tool for non-invasively measuring the input impulse response, from which the internal duct dimensions can be calculated. In this thesis, the theory describing wave propagation in a duct of varying crosssection is outlined, culminating in a discussion of the layer peeling algorithm used to reconstruct a duct’s bore profile from its input impulse response. Experimental measurements of the input impulse responses of various test objects, together with the subsequent bore reconstructions, are then presented. The problem of offset in input impulse response measurements is discussed and the effect on the bore reconstruction is shown. The offset is found to consist of both a DC component and a sinusoidal component. Methods for eliminating the two offset components are explored and the resultant improvement in the stability and reproducibility of the bore reconstructions is demonstrated. Two adaptations to the reflectometry technique, designed to extend the bandwidth of input impulse response measurements, are described. The improved high frequency content brought about by these adaptations is shown to lead to bore reconstructions of high axial resolution, allowing rapid changes in cross-sectional area to be more accurately reproduced. Finally, limitations of the acoustic pulse reflectometry technique (particularly those brought about by the bandwidth improvements) are discussed and potential future ways of overcoming the limitations are proposed.

description: An on-farm trial was conducted in the spring of 1998 to evaluate the yield performance two groups of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) cultivars grown under organic management system. Seven hybrid cultivars (Black Beauty, Black Bell, Black Nite,, Hybrid Beauty, Italian Pink Bicolor, Early Bird and Viserba) comprised one group. The other group consisted of open-pollinated, elongated types Philippine Long Purple, Pingtung Long, Trinidad Long and Dumaguete Long Purple. Seedlings were planted in three rows spaced 1.22 m apart. Plants were spaced 61 cm within rows. The trial was established using a randomized complete block design with three replications. An organic crop management system was adopted in growing and maintaining the crops. These consisted of using organic insect sprays, cow manure and grass straw mulch. All plots were drip irrigated to maintain soil moisture tension at 30 kPa. Data were collected on number of harvests, number of fruits, fruit weight and size. Incidence of insect pests and diseases were recorded by visual observations. Data from seven harvests showed no significant differences in the number of fruits among cultivars. Significant differences were observed in fruit weight for both groups. Fruit weight ranged from212 g for Trinidad Long to 96 g for Pingtung Long. Weights of the hybrids ranged from 298 g for Black Beauty to 113 for Early Bird. The top yielding hybrid cultivars were Black Nite (32.4 t.ha-1), Black Beauty (28.8 t.ha1), Black Bell (29.5 t.ha '), Italian Pink Bicolor (26.1 t.ha ') and Hybrid Beauty (26.0 t.ha-')- These cultivars are suitable for sustainable eggplant production in the Virgin Islands.

description: The simulation of complex quantum systems on a quantum computer is studied, taking the kicked Harper model as an example. This well-studied system has a rich variety of dynamical behavior depending on parameters, displays interesting phenomena such as fractal spectra, mixed phase space, dynamical localization, anomalous diffusion, or partial delocalization, and can describe electrons in a magnetic field. Three different quantum algorithms are presented and analyzed, enabling to simulate efficiently the evolution operator of this system with different precision using different resources. Depending on the parameters chosen, the system is near-integrable, localized, or partially delocalized. In each case we identify transport or spectral quantities which can be obtained more efficiently on a quantum computer than on a classical one. In most cases, a polynomial gain compared to classical algorithms is obtained, which can be quadratic or less depending on the parameter regime. We also present the effects of static imperfections on the quantities selected, and show that depending on the regime of parameters, very different behaviors are observed. Some quantities can be obtained reliably with moderate levels of imperfection, whereas others are exponentially sensitive to imperfection strength. In particular, the imperfection threshold for delocalization becomes exponentially small in the partially delocalized regime. Our results show that interesting behavior can be observed with as little as 7-8 qubits, and can be reliably measured in presence of moderate levels of internal imperfections.

description: Energy systems resilience is becoming increasingly important as the frequency of major grid outages increases. In this work, we present a methodology to optimize a behind-the-meter distributed energy resource system to sustain a site's critical loads during a pre-defined utility outage period. With the fixed system design, we then propose an outage simulation approach to estimate the resilience potential of the DER system to sustain loads beyond the fixed outage period - a yearlong resilience performance analysis. We apply statistical analysis to assess the system's resilience performance over a broader parametric problem space on an hourly, monthly, and yearly basis. We present a case study to demonstrate the impact of the pre-defined outage period on the resilience performance of the system. The case study shows that the probability of surviving a random outage of a given duration changes from 20 percent to 95 percent when the outage is modeled for a weekday instead of a weekend for the case study building.

description: In this work we explore the latency and accuracy of keyword spotting (KWS) models in streaming and non-streaming modes on mobile phones. NN model conversion from non-streaming mode (model receives the whole input sequence and then returns the classification result) to streaming mode (model receives portion of the input sequence and classifies it incrementally) may require manual model rewriting. We address this by designing a Tensorflow/Keras based library which allows automatic conversion of non-streaming models to streaming ones with minimum effort. With this library we benchmark multiple KWS models in both streaming and non-streaming modes on mobile phones and demonstrate different tradeoffs between latency and accuracy. We also explore novel KWS models with multi-head attention which reduce the classification error over the state-of-art by 10% on Google speech commands data sets V2. The streaming library with all experiments is open-sourced.

description: La conservation de los recursos naturales requiere de algo mas que su indicacion de "sostenibilidad" y de "uso rational", en programas de desarrollo. En general, en el pasado ese tipo de indicaciones han sido insuficientes para alcanzar resultados concretos para prevenir el deterioro de los recursos naturales.

description: Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) have been suggested as a means to study quantum chaotic behavior in various systems. In this work, I calculate OTOCs for the quantum mechanical anharmonic oscillator with quartic potential, which is classically integrable and has a Poisson-like energy-level distribution. For low temperature, OTOCs are periodic in time, similar to results for the harmonic oscillator and the particle in a box. For high temperature, OTOCs exhibit a rapid (but power-like) rise at early times, followed by saturation consistent with $2\langle x^2\rangle_T \langle p^2\rangle_T$ at late times. At high temperature, the spectral form factor decreases at early times, bounces back and then reaches a plateau with strong fluctuations.

description: Between February 14, 2019 and March 4, 2019, a terrorist attack in Pulwama, Kashmir followed by retaliatory airstrikes led to rising tensions between India and Pakistan, two nuclear-armed countries. In this work, we examine polarizing messaging on Twitter during these events, particularly focusing on the positions of Indian and Pakistani politicians. We use a label propagation technique focused on hashtag co-occurrences to find polarizing tweets and users. Our analysis reveals that politicians in the ruling political party in India (BJP) used polarized hashtags and called for escalation of conflict more so than politicians from other parties. Our work offers the first analysis of how escalating tensions between India and Pakistan manifest on Twitter and provides a framework for studying polarizing messages.

description: The adequate disposal of chicken manure constitutes one of the premier environmental concerns of the poultry industry. Excessive nutrient (nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)) losses from manure amended soils have been blamed for the contamination of numerous rivers and lakes. In recent years additions of aluminum sulfate (alum) to poultry houses are being promoted as a means to reduce N losses through volatilization and phosphorus losses in the field. The potential deleterious impact that aluminum may have on crops, particularly on acid soils calls for the search of alternative amendments that could exert a similar impact on nutrient loss reduction but would also enhance the nutritional value of chicken manure. Herein we report results of a study that evaluated the effect of magnesium and aluminum sulfate, as well as mixtures of the two sources, on nutrient content and availability of chicken manure. Additions of alum caused a significant reduction of phosphorus availability (Olsen, water extractable). The effect was short-lived (than 7 days) at the lowest alum dosage (10% w/w wet basis) but persisted for more than 3 months at the highest rate (20%). Additions of magnesium sulfate - alum mixtures at certain rates exerted a similar effect on phosphorus availability than the highest alum treatment, and thus may constitute an excellent alternative for poultry manure management.

Emergency service utilization for pediatric asthma exacerbations and the potential for interventions

description: Objectives: To determine whether there is a relationship between parental attendance at an asthma education clinic and repeat visits to a pediatric Emergency Department [i.e. paediatric Emergency Department] for asthma exacerbations; to explore the relationship between parental knowledge about asthma, parental information-seeking and decision-making preferences, and repeat visits to the pediatric Emergency Department for asthma exacerbations; to quantify a possible correlation between particulate matter (PM) air pollution as a result of a bog fire and pediatric Emergency Department utilization for asthma exacerbations. Methods: The British Columbia Children’s Hospital keeps a record of all emergency service utilization. Data were obtained through a combination of chart abstraction, computer system searching, and telephone follow-up with parents of children who visited the Emergency Department. PM concentration data were obtained from an air pollution monitoring stations across the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Results: Attendance at an asthma education clinic is not associated with a reduced time to repeat ED visit but may be more effective with parents of children four years of age or older and without an established history of ED visits; Attendance at a asthma education clinic does produce measurable changes in parental asthma knowledge but parental decision-making preferences do not appear to influence repeat ED visit likelihood; Elevated PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ pollution concentrations appear to be associated with an increase, although delayed, in ED visits. Conclusions: ED visits are a viable outcome measure for healthcare utilization studies. Although asthma education and parental preferences do not affect ED visit rates elevated PM pollution concentrations during fires may result in moderate increases in ED visits.

description: Two experiments were conducted at Isabela and Juana Diaz, Puerto Rico to evaluate six herbicide strategies in green-shelled bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L) production. At both locations, cv. Arroyo Loro was planted on 20 January 1999, and harvested 30 March 1999. The following herbicide strategies were tested: 1) STG-1 = trifluralin [(0.75 kg/ha) preplant incorporated (PPI) followed by (fb) bentazon (0.75 kg/ha) postemergence (POE) and sethoxydim (0.37 kg/ka) POE]; 2) STG-2 = bentazon (0.75 kg/ha) POE fb sethoxydim (0.37 kg/ha) POE; 3) STG-3 = [metolachlor (2.80 kg/ha) preemergence (PRE) fb bentazon (0.75 kg/ha) POE and sethoxydim (0.37 kg/ha) POE]; 4) STG-4 = imazethapyr (0.06 kg/ha) PRE fb bentazon (0.75 kg/ha) POE, and sethoxydim (0.37 kg/ha) POE; 5) STG-5 = trifluralin (0.75 kg/ha) PPI; and 6) STG-6 = non-treated check. Mechanical cultivation was conducted four weeks after planting (WAP) in all plots. STG-1 and STG- 3 were the best strategies in reducing total weeds density at three and six WAP at the two locations. STG-3 and STG-4 were the best strategies against broadleaf weeds at 9 WAP at Isabela. All strategies provided similar yields of green-shelled beans at Isabela, however, the first four strategies provided the best yields at Juana Diaz.

description: Observational cosmology has indeed made very rapid progress in recent years. The ability to quantify the universe has largely improved due to observational constraints coming from structure formation. The transition to precision cosmology has been spearheaded by measurements of the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over the past decade. Observations of the large scale structure in the distribution of galaxies, high red-shift supernova, have provided the required complementary information. We review the current status of cosmological parameter estimates from joint analysis of CMB anisotropy and large scale structure (LSS) data. We also sound a note of caution on overstating the successes achieved thus far.
