Styles of Collaboration between Entities within Different Sectors of Communities When Working on Sustainability-Related Projects
Creators: name: Abd Hamid, Nor
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: Collaboration is a necessary strategy to cope with problems of environmental sustainability among the sectors of society. Individual actors such as government, business and non-governmental organisation are not possible to solve the problems associated with sustainable development on their own. This research provides new insights of academic and practice relevance by using a variety of methods to explore into nature of the relationship between the view of sustainability and the type of organisation in which the organisation collaborates with others to support sustainable development. The literature review reveals that there is a different interpretation of sustainability viewed by the different sectors of society where the focus is based on organisational context. However, this study, which involved exploration of the activities of a broad range of entities in a variety of sectors, adopts a more critical perspective and highlights significant correlations between the different views and the way organisation collaborate with others. This study employs a phenomenological approach and comprises of two stages of semi-structured interviews with the top-level of management in an organisation to examine different experiences of forming a collaboration in sustainability-related projects. I use the case study in the United Kingdom to identify the different role of the actors of society in pursuing sustainability. From the research findings, I find that there is a disconnection between the underlying motivation driving the organisation and its vision in pursuing sustainability. The motivation itself rather than the declared vision tends to shape the style of relationship.

description: Com o atual crescimento da internet e a evidência da sua importância, associado ao aumento constante da demanda por qualidade e capacidade cresce a necessidade dos operadores (os ISPs - Internet Service Providers, que são AS - Sistemas Autônomos) em otimizar suas infraestruturas com o objetivo de melhoria da performance e disponibilidade. Existem na literatura vários esforços de documentação sobre uma melhor compreensão do complexo ecossistema que forma a internet, neste contexto estão os pontos de troca de tráfego (IX - Internet Exchange/PTT - Ponto de Troca de Tráfego) que são entidades importantes na internet devido ao seu objetivo de regionalizar o tráfego, otimizar a performance e disponibilidade e reduzir as distâncias representam a diversidade da internet. No entanto, existe uma deficiência em encontrar informações atualizadas e centralizadas do cenário de interconexão e das caraterísticas e serviços disponíveis dos PTTs/IXs. Os mecanismos disponíveis a comunidade que servem de consulta como o PeeringDB, Euro-IX, PCH, Internet Exchange Report da HE são os mais evidenciados na pesquisa, mas tem limitações na amplitude de suas informações. Outro grande problema, é a política de restrição de informações sobre sua infraestrutura (como serviços disponíveis, lista de membros, matriz de tráfego) que alguns IXs na internet adotam, a exemplo dos IXs da Equinix e da Digital Realty. Este trabalho tem como objetivo, através da pesquisa de revisão da literatura e produção de um protótipo funcional, demonstrar a grande contribuição dos PTTs no ecossistema global da internet e como seu desenvolvimento está otimizando uma melhor qualidade de serviços para os ISPs/ASs. Uma vez que, aumenta a resiliência da rede, estimula a democratização, possibilitando que o ISP/AS tenham custos mais baixos ao pagar por transportes de dados ao invés de trânsito, com objetivo da otimização do seu tráfego maximizando a performance e resiliência. O objetivo preponderante da pesquisa é consolidar a consulta de informações sobre os pontos de troca de tráfego baseada em cruzamento de dados de fontes oficiais e não oficiais embasadas de informações disponíveis, a fim de fornecer a análise do ganho de lateralidade dos sistemas autônomos ao participar dos IX com a validação prática através do protótipo funcional construído, que será disponibilizado à comunidade através do GitHub.

Land Economics/Use

description: Crop rotation systems are a commonly used production practice with primary benefits including the suppression of soil pathogens and crop pests as well as the reduction of soil nutrient depletion. Realized economic benefits are observed as increased revenue resulting from higher yields, or as reduced pesticide or fertilization expenses. In some instances, the inclusion of one crop in a rotation system may impose costs on another crop. A rice/crawfish rotation is utilized as a case study in this article to illustrate this relationship and to present implications for enterprise cost assignment and land tenure adjustments in situations where this relationship might occur.

description: A two-dimensional lattice model for the formation and evolution of shear bands in granular media is proposed. Each lattice site is assigned a random variable which reflects the local density. At every time step, the strain is localized along a single shear-band which is a spanning path on the lattice chosen through an extremum condition. The dynamics consists of randomly changing the `density' of the sites only along the shear band, and then repeating the procedure of locating the extremal path and changing it. Starting from an initially uncorrelated density field, it is found that this dynamics leads to a slow compaction along with a non-trivial patterning of the system, with high density regions forming which shelter long-lived low-density valleys. Further, as a result of these large density fluctuations, the shear band which was initially equally likely to be found anywhere on the lattice, gets progressively trapped for longer and longer periods of time. This state is however meta-stable, and the system continues to evolve slowly in a manner reminiscent of glassy dynamics. Several quantities have been studied numerically which support this picture and elucidate the unusual system-size effects at play.

description: We report the discovery of a super-Jovian planet in the microlensing event KMT-2016-BLG-1836, which was found by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network's high-cadence observations (Γ~ 4~{hr}^{-1}). The planet-host mass ratio q ~ 0.004. A Bayesian analysis indicates that the planetary system is composed of a super-Jovian M_{planet} = 2.2_{-1.1}^{+1.9} M_{J} planet orbiting an M or K dwarf M_{\rm host} = 0.49_{-0.25}^{+0.38} M_{Sun}, at a distance of D_{L} = 7.1_{-2.4}^{+0.8} kpc. The projected planet-host separation is 3.5^{+1.1}_{-0.9} AU, implying that the planet is located beyond the snowline of the host star. Future high-resolution images can potentially strongly constrain the lens brightness and thus the mass and distance of the planetary system. Without considering detailed detection efficiency, selection or publication biases, we find a potential "mass ratio desert" at -3.7 \lesssim \log q \lesssim -3.0 for the 31 published KMTNet planets.

 Identification: See key above.
 Relationships: This species and the Western Nepalese species T. aedeagalis sp. n., T. eremita sp. n., T. franzianus Mateu & Deuve, 1979, T. muguensis sp. n., and T. sculptipennis sp. n., together forming a group of closely related species which, in external morphology, differ very slightly from each other or, in some cases are almost identical, but which evolved remarkable differences in genital morphology. Currently, based on these characters it seems impossible to determine sister species relationships.
 Distribution: Fig. 98. Tibetan Himalaya of Manang and Mustang Districts, Central Nepal. The species is known from several localities north of Annapurna Massif as well from the Northeast slope of Dhaulagiri Himal.
 Habitat: Edaphic species of the higher alpine zone; vertical distribution approximately 4900–5200 m. The specimens were found on humid, gently inclined slopes and along small depressions, often close to snow fields and melting water.

description: Is reality three-dimensional and becoming real (Presentism), or is reality four-dimensional and becoming illusory (Eternalism)? Both options raise difficulties. I argue that we do not need to be trapped by this dilemma. There is a third possibility: reality has a more complex temporal structure than either of these two naive options. Fundamental becoming is real, but local and unoriented. A notion of present is well defined, but only locally and in the context of approximations.

description: We consider configurations of D7-branes and whole and fractional D3-branes with N=2 supersymmetry. On the supergravity side these have a warp factor, three-form flux and a nonconstant dilaton. We discuss general IIB solutions of this type and then obtain the specific solutions for the D7/D3 system. On the gauge side the D7-branes add matter in the fundamental representation of the D3-brane gauge theory. We find that the gauge and supergravity metrics on moduli space agree. However, in many cases the supergravity curvature is large even when the gauge theory is strongly coupled. In these cases we argue that the useful supergravity dual must be a IIA configuration.

description: Innovation and technological development have led to a proliferation of various low-cost air quality monitors, most of which use light scattering techniques to detect airborne particles. As these monitors are used in various environments, their testing should also be performed in diverse environments and with different particle types. This study evaluated three Foobot units and three AirVisual Nodes in two laboratory environments and in one residential apartment when measuring five types of aerosols (0.72 and 2.00 µm polystyrene latex (PSL) spheres, Arizona Road Dust (ARD), nanosilver-based surface cleaner, and particles created by a cooking event). The low-cost monitors were highly correlated with the DustTrak DRX (TSI) for most aerosol types (r > 0.78), except when measuring nanosilver spray, where the r value decreased to 0.55. For PSL spheres, Foobot overestimated DRX PM2.5 concentrations while AirVisual's readings were closer to those of DRX and aligned relatively well with the 1:1 line. Both Foobot and AirVisual underestimated PM2.5 concentrations for ARD, nanosilver spray, and particles from a cooking event. Overall, the Foobots reported higher PM2.5 concentrations than the AirVisuals, except when measuring particles created by the cooking event. The paired monitors' precision error varied between 0.15 and 0.47, depending on the aerosol type and monitor pairs. The coefficient of variation ranged from 15.2% to 21.0% for the Foobots and from 12.5% to 28.7% for the AirVisuals. Both monitors showed high accuracy and precision when measuring temperature and humidity as compared to the IAQ Meter (TSI Inc.). AirVisual showed high accuracy and precision when measuring CO2, as compared to the IAQ meter. Foobot, however, didn't report accurate CO2 concentrations. Additionally, we found the AirVisual is easier to operate, and it provided more options to read, save, and download data. Copyright © 2020 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Under the hypothesis that the cosmological constant vanishes in the true ground state with lowest possible energy density, we argue that the observed small but finite vacuum-like energy density can be explained if we consider a theory with two or more degenerate perturbative vacua, which are unstable due to quantum tunneling, and if we still live in one of such states. An example is given making use of the topological vacua in non-Abelian gauge theories.

description: Estimation of the value of damaged timber stands can be complicated. The foundation for any valuation calculations involving damaged timber is land expectation value (LEV). A timber damage model using LEV is described in detail. The concept is economically sound as it ignores sunk costs and considers land opportunity cost and the impact on future rotations. The method described is an income approach. The results can also be applied to a replacement cost model. The two approaches will produce consistent results. FORVAL is a free computer software model that uses the same methodology and will produce the same results.

description: An Australian “ley” farming type of system, which integrates medic pasture with livestock in place of conventional summer fallow, is a promising technology having the potential to provide important benefits for improving winter wheat production in the Central High Plains of the United States. Medic is an annual legume that regenerates yearly from a soil seed bank, and in the pasture phase of the cropping sequence, it provides hay or grazing for livestock. Farming systems with medics form the foundation for flexible and sustainable semiarid wheat farming systems in Australia. This article reports the performance of a specific medic specie (Medicago rigidula), which can replace fallow for more profitable winter wheat production in the U.S. Central High Plains.

description: We report preparation and characterization of coherent superposition states t |0> + alpha |1> of electromagnetic field by conditional measurements on a beamsplitter. The state is generated in one of the beam splitter output channels if a coherent state and a single-photon Fock state |1> are present in the two input ports and a single photon is registered in the other beam splitter output. The single photon thus plays a role of a "catalyst": it is explicitly present in both the input and the output channels of the interaction yet facilitates generation of a nonclassical state of light.

description: Concerns regarding climate changes due to human activities have largely increased in the past few years. Scientists believe that atmospheric build-up of greenhouse gas (GHG) lead to climate change. The agricultural industry could play a role in the reduction of atmospheric GHGs by sequestering carbon through crop production, rangeland and afforestation offsets. However, there is a limited economic opportunity for landowners to participate in the carbon market as carbon prices have ranged over the years between $2 to $5 per tonne and currently is around $6 leading to returns on the order of $1-5 per acre.

description: We compute the coefficients of an infinite family of chiral primary operators in the local operator expansion of a circular Wilson loop in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The computation sums all planar rainbow Feynman graphs. We argue that radiative corrections from planar graphs with internal vertices cancel in leading orders and we conjecture that they cancel to all orders in perturbation theory. The coefficients are non-trivial functions of the 'tHooft coupling and their strong coupling limits are in exact agreement with those previously computed using the AdS/CFT correspondence. They predict the subleading orders in strong coupling and could in principle be compared with string theory calculations.

description: We present the first estimation of the mass and spin magnitude of Kerr black holes resulting from the coalescence of binary black holes using a deep neural network. The network is trained on a dataset containing 80\% of the full publicly available catalog of numerical simulations of gravitational waves emission by binary black hole systems, including full precession effects for spinning binaries. The network predicts the remnant black holes mass and spin with an error less than 0.04\% and 0.3\% respectively for 90\% of the values in the non-precessing test dataset, it is 0.1\% and 0.3\% respectively in the precessing test dataset. When compared to existing fits in the LIGO algorithm software library, the network enables to reduce the remnant mass root mean square error to one half in the non-precessing case. In the precessing case, both remnant mass and spin mean square errors are decreased to one half, and the network corrects the bias observed in available fits.

description: We analyze impacts of crystalline symmetry on the non-Hermitian skin effects. Focusing on mirror symmetry, we propose a novel type of skin effects, a mirror skin effect, which results in significant dependence of energy spectrum on the boundary condition only for the mirror invariant line in the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. This effect arises from the topological properties characterized by a mirror winding number. We further reveal that the mirror skin effect can be observed for an electric circuit composed of negative impedance converters with current inversion where switching the boundary condition significantly changes the admittance eigenvalues only along the mirror invariant lines. Furthermore, we demonstrate that extensive localization of the eigenstates for each mirror sector result in an anomalous voltage response.

description: Costs and net returns for conventional tillage (CT), reducedtillage (RT) and no-tillage (NT) are evaluated for five cropping systems: continuous soybean, a soybean-grain sorghum rotation, a soybean-wheat rotation, continuous grain sorghum and continuous wheat, over a period of increasing input and output prices, 2006-2008. NT had the highest net return for all of the systems with soybeans each year. NT also had the lowest energy use for all systems. The net returns of NT increased relative to CT and RT from 2006 to 2008 for all of the systems with soybeans. However, this increase in net returns was a result of increasing commodity prices rather than a slower increase in costs for NT.

description: One of the main challenges in IoT is providing communication support to an increasing number of connected devices. In recent years, narrowband radio technology has emerged to address this situation: Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), which is now part of 5G. Supporting massive connectivity becomes particularly demanding in extreme coverage scenarios such as underground or deep inside buildings sites. We propose a novel strategy for these situations focused on optimizing NB-IoT shared channels through the selection of link parameters: modulation and coding scheme, as well as the number of repetitions. These parameters are established by the base station (BS) for each block transmitted until reaching a target block error rate (BLER_t ). A wrong selection of these magnitudes leads to radio resource waste and a decrease in the number of possible concurrent connections. Specifically, our strategy is based on a look-up table (LUT) scheme which is used for rapidly delivering the optimal link parameters given a target QoS. To validate our proposal, we compare with alternative strategies using an open source NB-IoT uplink simulator. The experiments are based on transmitting blocks of 256 bits using an AWGN channel over the NPUSCH. Results show that, especially under extreme conditions, only a few options for link parameters are available, favoring robustness against measurement uncertainties. Our strategy minimizes resource usage in all scenarios of acknowledged mode and remarkably reduces losses in the unacknowledged mode, presenting also substantial gains in performance. We expect to influence future BS software design and implementation, favoring connection support under extreme environments.

description: Farm managers are currently in an agricultural environment of high risk and major changes in the farm business model (e.g., increases in leasing arrangements and outsourcing services). Cash is certainly important during these times, but it is even more important to make long-run decisions that generate earnings or profits. These profits should buffer the farm from the large amount of present and future risk and enable it to operate well into the future. Given today’s agricultural environment it may not be an overstatement that “cash is king, but profitability is the kingdom!”

description: In this paper, we introduce a deep encoder-decoder network, named SalsaNet, for efficient semantic segmentation of 3D LiDAR point clouds. SalsaNet segments the road, i.e. drivable free-space, and vehicles in the scene by employing the Bird-Eye-View (BEV) image projection of the point cloud. To overcome the lack of annotated point cloud data, in particular for the road segments, we introduce an auto-labeling process which transfers automatically generated labels from the camera to LiDAR. We also explore the role of imagelike projection of LiDAR data in semantic segmentation by comparing BEV with spherical-front-view projection and show that SalsaNet is projection-agnostic. We perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations on the KITTI dataset, which demonstrate that the proposed SalsaNet outperforms other state-of-the-art semantic segmentation networks in terms of accuracy and computation time.

description: We find that neutron star interior is transparent for collisionless electron sound, the same way as it is transparent for neutrinos. In the presence of magnetic field the electron sound is coupled with electromagnetic radiation and form the fast magnetosonic wave. We find that electron sound is generated by superfluid vortices in the stellar core. Thermally excited helical vortex waves produce fast magnetosonic waves in the stellar crust which propagate toward the surface and transform into outgoing electromagnetic radiation. The vortex radiation has the spectral index -0.45 and can explain nonthermal radiation of middle-aged pulsars observed in the infrared, optical and hard X-ray bands. The radiation is produced in the stellar interior which allows direct determination of the core temperature. Comparing the theory with available spectra observations we find that the core temperature of the Vela pulsar is T=8*10^8K, while the core temperature of PSR B0656+14 and Geminga exceeds 2*10^8K. This is the first measurement of the temperature of a neutron star core. The temperature estimate rules out equation of states incorporating Bose condensations of pions or kaons and quark matter in these objects. Based on the temperature estimate and cooling models we determine the critical temperature of triplet neutron superfluidity in the Vela core Tc=(7.5\pm 1.5)*10^9K which agrees well with recent data on behavior of nucleon interactions at high energies. Another finding is that in the middle aged neutron stars the vortex radiation, rather then thermal conductivity, is the main mechanism of heat transfer from the stellar core to the surface. Electron sound opens a perspective of direct spectroscopic study of superdense matter in the neutron star interiors.

description: Future exoplanet direct imaging missions, such as HabEx and LUVOIR, will select target stars to maximize the number of Earth-like exoplanets that can have their atmospheric compositions characterized. Because one of these missions' aims is to detect biosignatures, they should also consider the long-term habitability of planets around these stars. We have developed a framework for computing relative biosignature yields among potential target stars, given a model of habitability and biosignature genesis, and planetary occurrence rates. For different model choices, we find that the stellar populations preferred by our metrics vary drastically in terms of stellar masses and ages. The most physically motivated models for biosignature occurrence depend on the duration that a planet has been habitable, which requires precise stellar evolutionary tracks to accurately assess. We analyze the sensitivity of our biosignature yield metrics and other derived stellar properties, such as masses and ages, to stellar model uncertainties and systematic uncertainties in observed stellar properties. We determine the required precision needed to rank target stars according to our long-term habitability metrics and the extent to which obtaining more precise stellar properties decreases the uncertainty in relative biosignature yields.

description: Protonation and solvation of heterocyclic aromatic building blocks control the structure and function of many biological macromolecules. Herein the infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectra of protonated oxazole (H+Ox) microsolvated by nonpolar and quadrupolar ligands, H+Ox-Ln with L = Ar (n = 1–2) and L = N2 (n = 1–4), are analyzed by density functional theory calculations at the dispersion-corrected B3LYP-D3/aug-cc-pVTZ level to determine the preferred protonation and ligand binding sites. Cold H+Ox-Ln clusters are generated in an electron impact cluster ion source. Protonation of Ox occurs exclusively at the N atom of the heterocyclic ring, in agreement with the thermochemical predictions. The analysis of the systematic shifts of the NH stretch frequency in the IRPD spectra of H+Ox-Ln provides a clear picture of the sequential cluster growth and the type and strength of various competing ligand binding motifs. The most stable structures observed for the H+Ox-L dimers (n = 1) exhibit a linear NH⋯L hydrogen bond (H-bond), while π-bonded isomers with L attached to the aromatic ring are local minima on the potential and thus occur at a lower abundance. From the spectra of the H+Ox-L(π) isomers, the free NH frequency of bare H+Ox is extrapolated as νNH = 3444 ± 3 cm−1. The observed H+Ox-L2 clusters with L = N2 feature both bifurcated NH⋯L2 (2H isomer) and linear NH⋯L H-bonding motifs (H/π isomer), while for L = Ar only the linear H-bond is observed. No H+Ox-L2(2π) isomers are detected, confirming that H-bonding to the NH group is more stable than π-bonding to the ring. The most stable H+Ox-(N2)n clusters with n = 3–4 have 2H/(n − 2)π structures, in which the stable 2H core ion is further solvated by (n − 2) π-bonded ligands. Upon N-protonation, the aromatic C–H bonds of the Ox ring get slightly stronger, as revealed by higher CH stretch frequencies and strongly increased IR intensities.

description: Historically, cropland rental rates have been substantially higher than rental rates for pasture. Currently however, the gap between selling prices of cropland and pasture in Oklahoma has shrunk in western Oklahoma and pasture now sells for more than cropland in eastern Oklahoma. Regression results show that primarily two factors explain this shrinkage. One is that the explosion in the deer population has increased the value of controlling deer hunting rights; the other is that increases in income have created a demand for land for noncommercial farms and ex-urban development. The income approach has become less useful to land appraisers, which may be due to difficulty in measuring returns from hunting rights and hobby farming.
Equilibrium, kinetics and thermodynamics study on the adsorption of Cr(VI) and as(III) by diatomite-modified MnO2

description: MnO2 was selected to modify the diatomite (Mn-D) to improve the adsorption capacity as a new adsorbent, which was employed to explore its adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) and As(III), respectively. Mn-D was characterized via SEM, BET, FTIR, XRD, TG and pHzpc to investigate its morphology and structural properties. The structure and surface chemical properties of diatomite changed after coating with MnO2, which improved the adsorption capacity for the metal ions. The various influencing factors, such as the pH, initial concentration, temperature and adsorbent dosage, were systematically studied. Based on these results, both the adsorption processes of Cr(VI) and As(III) were pH dependent, and the optimal pH for Cr(VI) and As(III) adsorption were 2 and 6, respectively. To further elucidate the mono/competitive adsorption process, different kinds of isotherm and kinetics models were applied to simulate the experimental data. In the single system, the Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model was more suitable than the other models to fit the adsorption process of Cr(VI) and As(III), indicating that the adsorption of Cr(VI) was dominated by a chemical process, while the adsorption of As(III) was physically dependent. The extended Langmuir and Freundlich multicomponents were employed to fit adsorption in the binary system. For Cr(VI), the pseudo-first-order model was better than the other models at describing the adsorption process, both in the single system and binary system. However, the kinetics data of As(III) well followed the pseudo-second-order model. In addition, the analysis of the thermodynamic study revealed that both the adsorption processes of Cr(VI) and As(III) were endothermic and spontaneous.

description: Spatially resolved images of debris disks are necessary to determine disk geometric properties and the scattering phase function (SPF) which quantifies the brightness of the scattered light as a function of phase angle. The combination of high contrast and high angular resolution imaging is required to obtain these unique and important probes of debris disks, and we report on an adaptive optics 1.25-2.2 micron imaging survey of 17 high infrared excess debris disks observed with a Gemini Large and Long Program (LLP) utilizing the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). The sample is composed of stars ranging in ages of 10-500 Myr and spectral types A-G. We explore quantitatively whether most debris disks are characterized by a similar SPF as suggested by previous studies. The SPF depends on important dust properties such as grain size distribution and porosity that are linked to the frequency of collisions that generate small grains and promote compactification of grains. To-date, only a very limited number of SPF measurements have been made, and there has been no uniform study modeling the geometry and SPFs of even a modest sample of debris disks using a consistent methodology. Additionally, we investigate and compare geometric properties of these systems such as radial extent and vertical thickness. By determining the best-fitting models for these systems, the disk scale height, SPFs, and dust properties can be estimated and compared between host stars of different ages and masses, as well as examples from the Solar System.

description: Aging behavior is an important effect in the friction properties of solid surfaces. In this paper we investigate the temporal evolution of the static properties of a granular medium by studying the aging over time of the maximum stability angle of submillimetric glass beads. We report the effect of several parameters on these aging properties, such as the wear on the beads, the stress during the resting period, and the humidity content of the atmosphere. Aging effects in an ethanol atmosphere are also studied. These experimental results are discussed at the end of the paper.

description: This paper examines hog price linkages between the U.S. and China during the period June 1996 to December 2013. Volatility and spillover effects are modeled through a MGARCH-BEKK model. It is found that volatility in Chinese hog prices is explained by own-price volatility and past unexpected events (shocks); American hog price volatility, however, is mostly explained by its own past shocks (events in the U.S. market). One common aggregate linkage between the two markets is unidirectional volatility spillover effects from China to U.S. hog prices, paralleling the flow of hog-pork exports from the U.S. to China.
