description: Chain networks of manufacturers of traditional food products comprehend a large majority of micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs – firms employing less than 250 people). In a more and more globalised market with increasing competition, innovation is an important strategic tool for SMEs to achieve competitive advantage (Avermaete et al., 2004a, Gellynck et al., 2007, Murphy, 2002). Innovation can be defined as an ongoing process of learning, searching and exploring, resulting in new products, new techniques, new forms of organisation and new markets (Lundvall, 1995) which are new to the firm and to the industry ranging from incremental to radical innovations. Within our study traditional food products are defined according to four criteria: (1) the key production steps of a traditional food product must be performed in a certain area, which can be national, regional or local. (2) The traditional food product must be authentic in its recipe (mix of ingredients), origin of raw material, and/or production process. Further, (3) the traditional food product must have been commercially available for at least 50 years and (4) it must be part of the gastronomic heritage.

description: High resolution observations of cluster of galaxies by Chandra have revealed the existence of an X-ray emitting comet-like galaxy C153 in the core of cluster of galaxies A2125. The galaxy C153 moving fast in the cluster core has a distinct X-ray tail on one side, obviously due to ram pressure stripping, since the galaxy C153 crossed the central region of A2125. The X-ray emitting plasma in the tail is substantially cooler than the ambient plasma. We present results of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the time evolution of a subclump like C153 moving in magnetized intergalactic matter. Anisotropic heat conduction is included. We found that the magnetic fields are essential for the existence of the cool X-ray tail, because in non-magnetized plasma the cooler subclump tail is heated up by isotropic heat conduction from the hot ambient plasma and does not form such a comet-like tail.

description: Spherical time projection chambers (TPC), also known as spherical proportional counters, are employed in the search for rare phenomena, such as light Dark Matter candidates. The spherical TPC exhibits a number of essential features, making it a promising candidate for the search of neutrinoless double beta decay ($β\beta0ν$). A tonne-scale spherical TPC experiment could cover a region of parameter space relevant for the inverted mass hierarchy with a few years of data taking. In this direction, the major R\&D goal of the R2D2 effort is the demonstration of the required energy resolution. First results from an argon-filled prototype detector are reported, demonstrating an energy resolution of 1.1\% FWHM for 5.3~MeV $α$ tracks in the 0.2 to 1.1~bar pressure range. This is a major milestone in terms of energy resolution, paving the way for further studies with xenon gas, and the possible use of this technology for $β\beta0ν$ searches.

description: By simulating a uniform electric field on a lattice and measuring the change in the rest mass, we calculate the electric polarizability of neutral mesons and baryons using the methods of quenched lattice QCD. Specifically, we measure the electric polarizability coefficient from the quadratic response to the electric field for 10 particles: the vector mesons $ρ^0$ and $K^{*0}$; the octet baryons n, $Σ^0$, $Λ_{o}^{0}$, $Λ_{s}^{0}$, and $Ξ^0$; and the decouplet baryons $Δ^0$, $Σ^{*0}$, and $Ξ^{*0}$. Independent calculations using two fermion actions were done for consistency and comparison purposes. One calculation uses Wilson fermions with a lattice spacing of $a=0.10 $fm. The other uses tadpole improved Lüsher-Weiss gauge fields and clover quark action with a lattice spacing $a=0.17 $fm. Our results for neutron electric polarizability are compared to experiment.

description: Fertility depends, in part, on interactions between male and female reproductive proteins inside the female reproductive tract (FRT) that mediate postmating changes in female behaviour, morphology and physiology. Coevolution between interacting proteins within species may drive reproductive incompatibilities between species, yet the mechanisms underlying postmating–prezygotic (PMPZ) isolating barriers remain poorly resolved. Here, we used quantitative proteomics in sibling Drosophila species to investigate the molecular composition of the FRT environment and its role in mediating species-specific postmating responses. We found that (i) FRT proteomes in D. simulans and D. mauritiana virgin females express unique combinations of secreted proteins and are enriched for distinct functional categories, (ii) mating induces substantial changes to the FRT proteome in D. mauritiana but not in D. simulans and (iii) the D. simulans FRT proteome exhibits limited postmating changes irrespective of whether females mate with conspecific or heterospecific males, suggesting an active female role in mediating reproductive interactions. Comparisons with similar data in the closely related outgroup species D. melanogaster suggest that divergence is concentrated on the D. simulans lineage. Our study suggests that divergence in the FRT extracellular environment and postmating response contribute to previously described patterns of PMPZ isolation and the maintenance of species boundaries.

description: The Lohe hierarchy is a hierarchy of finite-dimensional aggregation models consisting of the Kuramoto model, the complex Lohe sphere model, the Lohe matrix model and the Lohe tensor model. In contrast, the Schrödinger-Lohe model is the only known infinite-dimensional Lohe aggregation model in literature. In this paper, we provide an explicit connection between the Schrödinger-Lohe model and the complex Lohe sphere model, and then by exploiting this explicit relation, we construct infinite-dimensional liftings of the Lohe matrix and the Lohe tensor models. In this way, we establish the Schrödinger-Lohe hierarchy which corresponds to the infinite-dimensional extensions of the Lohe hierarchy. For the proposed hierarchy, we provide sufficient frameworks leading to the complete aggregation in terms of coupling strengths and initial configurations.

description: I present a microscopic description of Hawking radiation in sonic black holes. A one-dimensional Fermi-degenerate liquid squeezed by a smooth barrier forms a transonic flow, a sonic analogue of a black hole. The quantum treatment of the non-interacting case establishes a close relationship between the Hawking radiation and quantum tunnelling through the barrier. Quasi-particle excitations appear at the barrier and are then radiated with a thermal distribution in exact agreement with Hawking's formula. The signature of the radiation can be found in the dynamic structure factor, which can be measured in a scattering experiment. The possibility for experimental verification of this new transport phenomenon for ultra-cold atoms is discussed.

description: As national economies have integrated through removal of trade barriers, the potential for offshoring production was quickly recognized as a strategy to enhance firm performance. At the same time, labor market reforms opened the door for outsourcing of labor services to specialist firms that supply labor force teams. The implications of these trends for industries that rely on specialized workforces have drawn considerable attention. Both manufacturing and food processing have seen substantial movement toward oursourced labor, yet little research has considered the implications of these trends. In both manufacturing and food processing, specific labor skills are needed that require training and consistency of supply to ensure efficiency in raw material and plant capacity utilization. Hiring from local labor force in the short-run involves search, training, and adjustment costs. In the longer-term, a sustainable labor pool must be developed and nutured. Hiring through outsourced labor services firms involves a distinctly different cost structure and longer-term dynamics play a different role and performance for the employer as well as the local labor force. Individually, firms face a choice between hiring from a local labor force or outsourcing that task to a specialist firm. Within a labor market, firms competing for labor from the same pools have joint interests in maintaining a sustainable labor force while they compete to fill their demands. However, as some firms initiate use of outsourced labor, the local labor force may be impacted. This issue has not been considered and is taken up by this paper. The paper presents a microeconomic model and uses simulation to evaluate the implications of increased labor service contracting on sustainability of the local labor force. In particular, our results show that as contracted external labor increases, the local labor pool decreases and search costs increase rendering local labor at less attractive choice for employers. A threshold is identified in terms of extent of local labor employment at which the viability of local labor employment collapses. We show that even before this threshold is met, the labor force benefits of the location vanish, reducing the locational rationale for the employer to natural resource access, output market proximity, and fixed investments in plant and equipment. The marginal benefits of the location based on these factors may then be outweighed by those available at other locations and the firm may relocate. We conclude with consideration of implications for labor force policy targeted at sustaining particular industries.

description: Several theories have been generated to understand the socio-cognitive mechanisms underlying the unique cooperative abilities of humans. The ‘interdependence hypothesis’ posits first, that the cognitive dimension of human cooperation evolved in contexts when several individuals needed to act together to achieve a common goal, like when hunting large prey. Second, the more interdependent individuals are, the more likely they are to provide services to conspecifics in other contexts. Alternatively, the ‘social tolerance hypothesis’ proposes that higher social tolerance allows conspecifics to cooperate more efficiently and with a wider range of partners. We conducted the first field experimental evaluation of both hypotheses in our closest living relatives by contrasting chimpanzees to the less interdependent but more tolerant bonobos. We compared each species' performance during a cooperative task: informing conspecifics about a danger. We presented Gaboon viper models to 82 individuals from five wild communities. Chimpanzees arriving late at the snake were significantly more likely to have heard a call and less likely to startle, indicating that chimpanzees were better informed about the presence of the threat than bonobos. This stems from clear species differences in how individuals adjusted their calling decisions to the level of information already available. Chimpanzees were more likely to call and produced more alarm calls when they had not yet heard a call, whereas bonobos did so when they already heard a call. Our results confirm the link between interdependence and cooperation performance. These species differences were most likely driven by differences in motivation rather than in cognitive capacities because both species tended to consider audience knowledge in their decision to call. Our results inform theories on the evolution of human cooperation by linking inter-group competition pressure and in-group cooperative motivation and/or capability.

Chemical analysis of the soil to verify burial locations appears to hold greatest promise in historic burials.

description: The dir 30/2003 by fixing the 5,75% target of biofuel incorporation to fossil fuel for vehicles for 2010 has increased the interest for a further development of the agro-energies in the EU and generated a virtuous competition among the Member States. Purpose of this paper is to analyze the dimension and profitability of the integrated biodiesel chain with different organizations to analyze their effectiveness in different industrial organization contest. Possible improvement of the economic performance is related with the constitution of local biofuel districts where cluster of farms producing oil seed are integrated with processors to reduce production-processing transport costs : evidences of the last 15 years suggest a decline up to 20% in current €. The optimal size of plants with an higher level of exploitation of their capacity within an integrated organization is an important part of the cost-reducing process. This paper examines the theoretical plant size rules for a conventional processing business integrated in producer/processing enterprise, based on different form of integration and the spatial dimension of the oilseed input market is examined for its consequences for the scale economies of biodiesel processing facilities. The analysis drives to the following conclusions: i) the optimal size may grow further but the constrain is given by the supply of feedstock at farm level; ii) investment profitability measured with the return on capital is convenient if the dimension of the supply area is appropriate to the processing capacity of the plant; iii) the integrated cooperative network is improved to gain efficiency by reducing transaction costs; iv) the total producer plus processor profits and sharing among partners change with the type of organization used in the integrated chain.

description: Medical imaging is the technique used to create images of the human body or parts of it for clinical purposes. Medical images always have large sizes and they are commonly corrupted by single or multiple noise type at the same time, due to various reasons, these two reasons are the triggers for moving toward parallel image processing to find alternatives of image de-noising techniques. This paper presents a parallel hybrid filter implementation for gray scale medical image de-noising. The hybridization is between adaptive median and wiener filters. Parallelization is implemented on the adaptive median filter to overcome the latency of neighborhood operation, parfor implicit parallelism powered by MatLab 2013a is used. The implementation is tested on an image of 2.5 MB size, which is divided into 2, 4 and 8 partitions; a comparison between the proposed implementation and sequential implementation is given, in terms of time. Thus, each case has the best time when assigned to number of threads equal to the number of its partitions. Moreover, Speed up and efficiency are calculated for the algorithm and they show a measured enhancement.

description: We present results of a study of 12 dust-reddened quasars with 0.4 < z < 2.65 and reddenings in the range 0.15 < E(B-V) < 1.7. We obtained ACIS-S X-ray spectra of these quasars, estimated the column densities towards them, and hence obtained the gas:dust ratios in the material obscuring the quasar. We detect all but one of the red quasars in the X-rays. Even though there is no obvious correlation between the X-ray determined column densities of our sources and their optical color or reddening, all of the sources show absorbed X-ray spectra. When we correct the luminosity for absorption, they can be placed among luminous quasars; therefore our objects belong to the group of high luminosity analogues of the sources contributing to the X-ray background seen in deep X-ray observations. Such sources are also found in serendipitous shallow X-ray surveys. There is a hint that the mean spectral slope of the red quasar is higher than that of normal, unobscured quasars, which could be an indication for higher accretion rates and/or an evolutionary effect. We investigate the number density of these sources compared to type 2 AGN based on the X-ray background and estimate how many moderate luminosity red quasars may be found in deep X-ray fields.

description: We inspect recently updated neutrino oscillation data -- specifically coming from the Tokai to Kamioka and NuMI Off-axis $ν_e$ Appearance experiments -- and how they are analyzed to determine whether the neutrino mass ordering is normal ($m_1 < m_2 < m_3$) or inverted ($m_3 < m_1 < m_2$). We show that, despite previous results giving a strong preference for the normal ordering, with the newest data from T2K and NOvA, this preference has all but vanished. Additionally, we highlight the importance of this result for non-oscillation probes of neutrinos, including neutrinoless double beta decay and cosmology. Future experiments, including JUNO, DUNE, and T2HK will provide valuable information and determine the mass ordering at a high confidence level.

Optimal Probabilistic Catalogue Matching for Radio Sources

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: Cross-matching catalogues from radio surveys to catalogues of sources at other wavelengths is extremely hard, because radio sources are often extended, often consist of several spatially separated components, and often no radio component is coincident with the optical/infrared host galaxy. Traditionally, the cross-matching is done by eye, but this does not scale to the millions of radio sources expected from the next generation of radio surveys. We present an innovative automated procedure, using Bayesian hypothesis testing, that models trial radio-source morphologies with putative positions of the host galaxy. This new algorithm differs from an earlier version by allowing more complex radio source morphologies, and performing a simultaneous fit over a large field. We show that this technique performs well in an unsupervised mode.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We report measurements of B to pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar decays with at least one eta meson in the final state using 140 fb^{-1} of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB e^+ e^- collider. We observe the decay B^+-> eta pi^+ and find evidence of B^+-> eta K+; the measured branching fractions are B(B^+-> eta pi^+)=(4.8^{+0.8}_{-0.7}(stat) +- 0.3(sys))*10^{-6} and B(B^+-> eta K^+)=(2.1 +- 0.6(stat)+- 0.2(sys))*10^{-6}. Their corresponding CP violating asymmetries are measured to be 0.07+- 0.15 (stat) +- 0.03(sys) for eta pi^+- and -0.49+- 0.31 (stat) +- 0.07(sys) for eta K^+-. No significant signals are found for neutral B->eta h decays. We report the following upper limits on branching fractions at the 90% confidence level: B(B-> eta K^0 < 2.0* 10^{-6}, B(B-> eta pi0)<2.5*10^{-6} and B(B-> eta eta) <2.0*10^{-6}.

description: This paper looks at the socio-environmental sustainability of agri-food systems and addresses the key issue of measuring ‘sustainability’. The paper begins by providing an overview of the environmental impacts of the global agri-food systems especially focusing on the UK. The author generated a comprehensive analysis of the key hotspots within food systems in a previous paper presented at the 2nd International European Forum on Systems Dynamics and Innovation in Food Networks in 2008. This article takes the discussion further by looking at the key tools for supply chain environmental measurement and contributes establishing a new measure of sustainable production/consumption.

description: The paper investigates the evolution from corporate social responsibility to supply chain responsibility via the examination of a leading UK food retailer. These two concepts differ substantially and illustrate contrasting approaches in terms of social responsibility development and application. A qualitative case study methodology is used where managers from that leading retailer and its suppliers, industry experts and representatives from professional bodies are interviewed. An observation of an ethical audit with a retailer’s supplier was also conducted. Findings show an example of good practice in the area of corporate social responsibility in the supply chain and illustrate the substantive progress that can be made in achieving supply chain responsibility. At the same time, the paper provides the specific challenges in developing from a corporate social watchdog approach to one in which the power in the chain is more balanced and where a holistic approach requires to be taken to social responsibility. Considering the scarcity of work examining empirically the issue of corporate social responsibility in food supply chains, this study demonstrates an evolutionary process and its stages based on an examination of the food retailer’s supply chain and the corporate social responsibility approach it has taken with its suppliers. We also illustrate a range of key implications that need to be considered by both managers and policy makers and we provide a range of areas where further research is required.

description: We introduce a class of variational states to study ground state properties and real-time dynamics in (2+1)-dimensional compact QED. These are based on complex Gaussian states which are made periodic in order to account for the compact nature of the $U(1)$ gauge field. Since the evaluation of expectation values involves infinite sums, we present an approximation scheme for the whole variational manifold. We calculate the ground state energy density for lattice sizes up to $20 \times 20$ and extrapolate to the thermodynamic limit for the whole coupling region. Additionally, we study the string tension both by fitting the potential between two static charges and by fitting the exponential decay of spatial Wilson loops. As the ansatz does not require a truncation in the local Hilbert spaces, we analyze truncation effects which are present in other approaches. The variational states are benchmarked against exact solutions known for the one plaquette case and exact diagonalization results for a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ lattice gauge theory. Using the time-dependent variational principle, we study real-time dynamics after various global quenches, e.g. the time evolution of a strongly confined electric field between two charges after a quench to the weak-coupling regime. Up to the points where finite size effects start to play a role, we observe equilibrating behavior.

A random matrix approach to the boson peak and Ioffe-Regel criterion in amorphous solids

description: We present a random matrix approach to study general vibrational properties of stable amorphous solids with translational invariance using the correlated Wishart ensemble. Within this approach, both analytical and numerical methods can be applied. Using the random matrix theory, we found the analytical form of the vibrational density of states and the dynamical structure factor. We demonstrate the presence of the Ioffe-Regel crossover between low-frequency propagating phonons and diffusons at higher frequencies. The reduced vibrational density of states shows the boson peak, which frequency is close to the Ioffe-Regel crossover. We also present a simple numerical random matrix model with finite interaction radius, which properties rapidly converges to the analytical results with increasing the interaction radius. For fine interaction radius, the numerical model demonstrates the presence of the quasilocalized vibrations with a power-law low-frequency density of states.

description: The following paper shows the work in progress in the frame of the specific support action Program “E-Trust”. A initial qualitative study was carried out in order to find out evidences and opinions about the performance of e-commerce in the agricultural and food sector. The paper shows a brief description of the barriers, advantages and e-business tools related with the adoption of e-commerce. In order to explore this topic, qualitative interviews were conducted. The results of this first stage related with gaps and barriers in the e-business agricultural sector. Some results are the concerns such as the reluctance to adopt e-commerce strategies, the challenge of making perceptible the sensory characteristics of perishable products, the vulnerability to “electronic mistakes” and the necessity of laws to allow persons to complain just in case.

description: Current interorganizational literature almost exclusively analyzes the network effects on single firms participating in networks. This study expands this view theoretically by focusing on food supply chain networks. Specifically, we argue that both, network-level and firm-level goals have to be achieved to structure long-term and successful network relationships. By implementing simultaneously partnering and supply chain management strategies, the network’s management will ensure goal consensus among the network actors and goal compatibility between the network levels. Thereby, preconditions for the achievement of network-level and firm-level goals will be installed.
