description: The paper aims to present how the plant varieties of foreign origin changed their share in the Polish seed market before and after EU accession. Changes in the period 1996-2008 were analyzed. They show that the number of foreign varieties of agricultural species increased significantly. In 1996 the share of foreign varieties was only 5% and it rose rapidly up to 38% in 2008. The foreign varieties play an important role in the Polish seed market, their share exceeding 40% in such species as winter and spring barley, winter wheat and potato. The inflow of foreign varieties was especially high after Poland’s EU accession in 2004, because since then offering CCA varieties in the Polish market have become possible. Polish varieties are still dominant in such species as triticale, rye, oat and spring wheat. The quickly increasing share of foreign varieties in Polish agriculture may cause problems with financing plant breeding activities in Poland because of lowering the amount of license fees. Polish enterprises in the plant breeding sector must concentrate their experimental and marketing activities to cope with the competition from foreign breeders. / Synopsis. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie zmian znaczenia zagranicznych odmian roślin na polskim rynku nasiennym. Analizą objęto okres lat 1996-2008. Określono udział odmian zagranicznych w ogólnej liczbie odmian, a także udział tych odmian w powierzchni reprodukcji nasiennej. W analizowanym okresie udział odmian zagranicznych dynamicznie wzrastał z 5% w 1996 r. do 38% w 2008 r. Największe znaczenie miały one w takich gatunkach jak jęczmień ozimy i jary, pszenica ozima i ziemniaki, w których ich udział przekraczał 40%. Największy wzrost konkurencji odmian zagranicznych zaobserwowano po 2004 r., od kiedy możliwe stało się oferowanie w Polsce odmian nie wpisanych do polskiego rejestru odmian, ale wpisanych do Wspólnotowego Katalogu Odmian. Kreacje polskich hodowców zachowały dominującą rolę w takich gatunkach jak pszenżyto, żyto, owies i pszenica jara. Szybko postępujący i duży wzrost udziału odmian zagranicznych może doprowadzić do zapaści w polskiej hodowli, gdyż wielkość sprzedaży nasion jest podstawą do naliczania opłat finansujących prace w przedsiębiorstwach hodowlanych. Jednocześnie musi następować koncentracja hodowli pozwalająca na skonsolidowanie środków na hodowlę i marketing nasion.

description: We analyze the effect of the barrier motion on the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian of a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate interrupted by a pair of Josephson junctions, a configuration which is the cold atom analog of the well-known dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Such an effect is also shown to modify the Heisenberg equation of motion of the boson field operator in the two-mode approximation, where a hysteretic contribution that could affect the dynamics for accelerated or overlapping barriers is identified. By studying the energy landscape as a function of order and control parameters, we determine the diagram with the location of the dc and ac Josephson regimes, along with the critical points that are shown to depend on the junctions position. We analyze the dc to ac Josephson transition for adiabatic barrier trajectories that lead to a final uniform velocity, or which perform symmetric velocity paths. We show that such symmetric trajectories may induce, when reaching the critical point, highly hysteretic oscillating return paths within the dc regime, similar to the underdamped hysteresis loops arising from the action of a resistive flow in the ac regime. We also consider nonequilibrium initial conditions resulting from a finite phase difference on either side of the junctions, along with the critical features of such a parameter. An excellent agreement between the Gross-Pitaevskii simulations and the two-mode results is found in all cases.

description: Two-particle correlations of identical charged pion pairs from Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 62.4 and 200 GeV were measured by the PHOBOS experiment at RHIC. Data for the 15% most central events were analyzed with Bertsch-Pratt and Yano-Koonin-Podgoretskii parameterizations using pairs with rapidities of 0.4 < y_{ππ} < 1.3 and transverse momenta 0.1 < k_T < 1.4 GeV/c. The Bertsch-Pratt radii R_o and R_l decrease as a function of pair transverse momentum, while R_s is consistent with a weaker dependence. R_o and R_s are independent of collision energy, while R_l shows a slight increase. The source rapidity y_{ykp} scales roughly with the pair rapidity y_{ππ}, indicating strong dynamical correlations.

description: The transfer matrix formalism is implemented in the form of the multiple collision technique to account for dissipative transmission processes by using complex potentials in several models of atomic chains. The absorption term is rigorously treated to recover unitarity for the non-hermitian hamiltonians. In contrast to other models of parametrized scatterers we assemble explicit potentials profiles in the form of delta arrays, Poschl-Teller holes and complex Scarf potentials. The techniques developed provide analytical expressions for the scattering and absorption probabilities of arbitrarily long wires. The approach presented is suitable for modelling molecular aggregate potentials and also supports new models of continuous disordered systems. The results obtained also suggest the possibility of using these complex potentials within disordered wires to study the loss of coherence in the electronic localization regime due to phase-breaking inelastic processes.

description: We show that the high-temperature expansion of the free energy and arbitrary imaginary-time-ordered connected correlation functions of quantum spin systems can be recursively obtained from the exact renormalization group flow equation for the generating functional of connected spin correlation functions derived by Krieg and Kopietz [Phys. Rev. B 99, 060403(R) (2019)]. Our recursive algorithm can be explicitly written down in closed form including all combinatorial factors. We use our method to estimate critical temperatures of Heisenberg magnets from low-order truncations of the inverse spin susceptibility in the static limit. We also calculate the connected correlation function involving three different spin components (chiral non-linear susceptibility) of quantum Heisenberg magnets up to second order in the exchange couplings.

description: III-VI post-transition metal chalcogenides (InSe and GaSe) are a new class of layered semiconductors, which feature a strong variation of size and type of their band gaps as a function of number of layers (N). Here, we investigate exfoliated layers of InSe and GaSe ranging from bulk crystals down to monolayer, encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, using Raman spectroscopy. We present the N-dependence of both intralayer vibrations within each atomic layer, as well as of the interlayer shear and layer breathing modes. A linear chain model can be used to describe the evolution of the peak positions as a function of N, consistent with first principles calculations.

description: We compare some of the properties of rapid oscillations in cataclysmic variables and X-Ray binaries. In addition to the earlier recognition that both types possess the same correlation between high and low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations, we have now found that the dwarf nova VW Hyi in its late stages of outburst shows the 1:2:3 oscillations harmonics that are seen in some neutron star and black hole X-Ray binaries. We point out that the behaviour of the dwarf nova WZ Sge has some similarities to those of accreting millisecond pulsars.

description: In the present paper we construct deformations of the Poincaré algebra as representations on a noncommutative spacetime with canonical commutation relations. These deformations are obtained by solving a set of conditions by an appropriate ansatz for the deformed Lorentz generator. They turn out to be Hopf algebras of quantum universal enveloping algebra type with nontrivial antipodes. In order to present a notion of $θ$-deformed Minkowski space $\mathcal{M}_θ$, we introduce Casimir operators and spacetime invariants for all deformations obtained.

description: We describe charge-neutral neutron star matter in $β-$equilibrium using hybrid equations of state, where a first-order phase transition from hadronic to quark matter is realized. The hadronic matter is described in a model-independent way by a Taylor expansion around saturation density $n_0$, while the three-flavor NJL model is used for the quark matter. Exploring the present uncertainty on the empirical parameters of nuclear matter and the parameter space of the NJL model, we construct two datasets of thermodynamically consistent and causal hybrid EoSs, compatible with astrophysical observations. We conclude that, to sustain a considerable quark core size, the intensity of the phase transition from hadron to quark matter cannot be strong, having a energy density gap below $200$ MeV/fm$^3$, and must occur at baryon densities not above four times the saturation density. A non zero but not too strong quark vector-isoscalar term and a weak vector isovector quark term are required. Large quark cores carrying almost half of the star mass are possible inside neutron stars with a maximum mass $\approx 2.2 M_\odot$. To get a considerable number of hybrid EoS predicting quark matter already inside neutron stars with a mass $\sim 1.4 M_\odot$, we require that the onset of quarks occurs in the range $1.3n_0$ and $2.5n_0$. Neutron stars with large quark cores corresponding to more than one fourth of the total star mass, are possible if the energy density gap and the pressure at transition are below 100 MeV/fm$^3$. However, under these constraints, the maximum neutron star mass is limited to $ \lesssim 2.06 M_{\odot}$. No strong signatures from quark matter were found on the radius and the tidal deformability for neutron star masses below $1.8\, M_\odot$.

description: In 2005, Evo Morales became president of the Bolivian Republic, renowned Plurinational State in 2009. At the same time, he continued being the union leader of the Tropic Cochabamba coca leaf producers. Since his first presidential election, Evo Morales has started a coca leaf revaluation policy that provokes some diplomatic problems: his double status makes him appear closer to the “cocaleros” than to the objectives of international policy on drug. However, these vision of the reform cut down the issues around the coca leaf in Bolivia, which is not only an illegal but also a legal good. This article will focus on the national conflicts around the coca leaf reform that correspond to sector’s issues and more generally to Evo Morales government’s rural policy design.

Comparison of the relative entropy of entanglement and negativity

description: It is well known that for two qubits the upper bounds of the relative entropy of entanglement (REE) for a given concurrence as well as the negativity for a given concurrence are reached by pure states. We show that, by contrast, there are two-qubit mixed states for which the REE for some range of a fixed negativity is higher than that for pure states. Moreover, we demonstrate that a mixture of a pure entangled state and pure separable state orthogonal to it is likely to give the maximal REE. By noting that the negativity is a measure of entanglement cost under operations preserving positivity of partial transpose, our results provide an explicit example of operations such that, even though the entanglement cost for an exact preparation is the same, the entanglement of distillation of a mixed state can exceed that of pure states. This means that the entanglement manipulation via a pure state can result in a larger entanglement loss than that via a mixed state.

description: The ratios of the B$_\mathrm{c}$(2S)$^+$ to B$_\mathrm{c}^+$, B$_\mathrm{c}^*$(2S)$^+$ to B$_\mathrm{c}^+$, and B$_\mathrm{c}^*$(2S)$^+$ to B$_\mathrm{c}$(2S)$^+$ production cross sections are measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 143 fb$^{-1}$. The three measurements are made in the B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ meson phase space region defined by the transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}$ $\gt$ 15 GeV and absolute rapidity $|y|$ $\lt$ 2.4, with the excited B$_\mathrm{c}^{(*)}$(2S)$^+$ states reconstructed through the B$_\mathrm{c}^{(*)+} π^+π^-$, followed by the B$_\mathrm{c}^+$ $\to$ J/$ψπ^+$ and J/$ψ$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ decays. The B$_\mathrm{c}$(2S)$^+$ to B$_\mathrm{c}^+$, B$_\mathrm{c}^*$(2S)$^+$ to B$_\mathrm{c}^+$, and B$_\mathrm{c}^*$(2S)$^+$ to B$_\mathrm{c}$(2S)$^+$ cross section ratios, including the unknown B$_\mathrm{c}^{(*)}$(2S)$^+$ $\to$ B$_\mathrm{c}^{(*)+}π^+π^-$ branching fractions, are (3.47 $\pm$ 0.63 (stat) $\pm$ 0.33 (syst))%, (4.69 $\pm$ 0.71 (stat) $\pm$ 0.56 (syst))%, and 1.35 $\pm$ 0.32 (stat) $\pm$ 0.09 (syst), respectively. None of these ratios shows a significant dependence on the $p_\mathrm{T}$ or $|y|$ of the B$_\mathrm{c}$ meson. The normalized dipion invariant mass distributions from the decays B$_\mathrm{c}^{(*)}$(2S)$^+$ $\to$ B$_\mathrm{c}^{(*)}$$^+ π^+π^-$ are also reported.

description: During the last decades, consumption of fresh vegetables has declined while consumption of processed vegetables has increased. This paper aims at characterizing the purchases of processed vegetables in France by carrying out a principal component analysis of consumption data from the Kantar Worldpanel 2007 data. Older and more affluent households buy relatively more fresh produce and, when they buy processed vegetables, tend to choose the least processed forms. However the same product (namely minimally processed raw vegetables) are bought and used differently according to the age of the respondent. Finally, respondents less than 40 years old buy different combinations of products depending on their education, occupation and household structure while the most relevant characteristic of those over the age of 60 is income.

description: The concept of the Digital Twin, which in the context of this paper is the virtual representation of a production system or its components, can be used as a "digital playground" to master the increasing complexity of these assets. One of the central subcomponents of the Digital Twin are behavior models that can enable benefits over the entire machine life cycle. However, the creation, adaption and use of behavior models throughout the machine life cycle is very time-consuming, which is why approaches to improve the cost-benefit ratio are needed. Furthermore, there is a lack of specific use cases that illustrate the application and added benefit of behavior models over the machine life cycle, which is why the universal application of behavior models in industry is still lacking compared to research. This paper first presents the fundamentals, challenges and related work on Digital Twins and behavior models in the context of the machine life cycle. Then, concepts for low-effort creation and automatic adaption of Digital Twins are presented, with a focus on behavior models. Finally, the aforementioned gap between research and industry is addressed by demonstrating various realized use cases over the machine life cycle, in which the advantages as well as the application of behavior models in the different life cycle phases are shown.

Back injuries among sawmill workers
Creators: name: Chhokar, Rahul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Despite the high rates of injury in British Columbia’s sawmill industry no studies have specifically investigated back injury, which is one of the leading causes of work-related disability. To fill this gap, a study was devised and carried out to describe the rates and identify the risk factors associated with back injury in sawmill workers. Rates of backrelated compensation claims and hospitalizations were calculated for workers employed for at least one year between January 1, 1987 and July 31, 1997. Person time at risk was determined from work history records that were available for each worker. During the study period, there were 566 compensation claims and 154 hospitalizations for back injury, representing rates of 1.35 and 0.35 per 100 person years. Rates of both compensation claims and hospitalizations varied during the study period, which may be attributed to changes in the labour market and physician practices. In addition, rates of compensation claims decreased with longer duration of employment. A nested case-control design was used to identify physical and psychosocial risk factors associated with back-related compensation claims and hospitalizations. Results revealed that workers that had more physically demanding jobs had a higher risk of injury compared to workers that had less physically demanding jobs. As well, workers with one or more physical risk factors in their job were at a higher risk of back-related compensation claims than workers with no physical risk factors in their job. Of the psychosocial risk factors studied, job control was found to be associated with both backrelated compensation claims and hospitalizations: workers with more job control had a lower risk of injury. Noise exposure was found to increase the risk of back-related compensation claims; although the risk was lower in the highest level of noise exposure, suggesting that workers in this category used hearing protection more frequently. This study was the first to examine the rates and risk factors associated with back-related compensation claims and hospitalizations among sawmill workers. In addition to providing this information, this study also addressed some of the methodological limitations in prior occupational back injury studies.
title: Theoretical and Experimental Investigations Into Umbilical Cables for Communications Under the Sea
Creators: name: Mitchell, Andrew George Cairncross
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Continual advances are being made in the control and monitoring of subsea oil wells by the application of new technology for sensors, subsea processing and communications devices. With these advances, the demands on the subsea umbilical are constantly increasing with deployment lengths and depths growing and the quantity of controlled functions now greater than ever. The need for a good understanding of the effects of deployment subsea is essential, as communications frequencies and data throughput constantly increase. This research aims to address some of the issues regarding umbilical modelling and sets up a series of tests to measure the effects of pressure and cable flooding within the umbilical and assesses the effect of steel tubes, hydraulic hoses and cable armouring on the operating parameters of the cables. In addition, the cables are modelled using electromagnetic field solver tools and the results compared with those measured. Once prediction losses have been established, these are compared with measurements taken on the full lengths of umbilical and the reasons for any discrepancies examined. It is shown that, in a typical subsea umbilical, the proximity of conducting cores to adjacent components, such as hydraulic hoses or steel wire armour, the flooding with sea water and the pressure due to the depth of deployment all have a significant impact on the impedance parameters of the cables. The effect of cable screening on attenuation is also examined and it is shown that, as well as affecting capacitance and conductance, the screen has a significant impact on the cable resistance and inductance, with the resistance rising to a maximum at a certain screen thickness before a subsequent reduction. This effect was investigated further by modelling with an electromagnetic field solver and a possible explanation for this effect is proposed. Comparison of the modelled data and measurement of cables under the various operating conditions investigated show good correlation with the results, allowing very accurate prediction of the effects on electrical performance of cables when deployed subsea in Subsea Control System umbilicals.

description: The recently reported experimental optical spectra of double-walled carbon nanotubes exhibit more peaks than it could be expected based on the layers alone. The appearance of excess peaks has been attributed to the interlayer interaction. In order to elucidate the origin of the excess peaks, we perform calculations of the optical absorption of a particular nanotube using the recursion method with non-orthogonal tight-binding basis functions. Our study shows that the interlayer interaction can give rise to major changes in the electronic structure of this nanotube, manifesting themselves with shifts of the optical transitions and appearance of new optical transitions. The derived absorption spectrum is found to be in excellent agreement with the available experimental data, which justifies the use of the proposed approach for double-walled carbon nanotubes.

description: We analyze the tensor mode perturbations of static, spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equations with a quadratic Gauss-Bonnet term in dimension $D > 4$. We show that the evolution equations for this type of perturbations can be cast in a Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli form, and obtain the exact potential for the corresponding Schrödinger-like stability equation. As an immediate application we prove that for $D \neq 6$ and $α>0$, the sign choice for the Gauss-Bonnet coefficient suggested by string theory, all positive mass black holes of this type are stable. In the exceptional case $D =6$, we find a range of parameters where positive mass asymptotically flat black holes, with regular horizon, are unstable. This feature is found also in general for $α< 0$.

title: Interactive Placemaking: Creativity and User Experience at Urban Installations
Creators: name: Mathew, Anijo Punnen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Interactive placemaking offers many new opportunities for the consideration and design of urban place, particularly through offering engagement with the creativity and experiences of local populations. This thesis explores the recent area of interactive placemaking from analytical and creative perspectives in developing a framework for both describing behaviours and producing design guidelines. The thesis begins by drawing together and building on existing work in HCI and Design to provide an initial framework for the analysis of interactive place. The framework combines theoretical and practical threads to look at two central questions: how do people behave in interactive places, and how do we design such interactive places? The assumption underlying the thesis is that users' behaviours in public spaces can be observed, abstracted, and formalised to the extent that designers can use in designing and evaluating interactive public installations. In observational studies of four interactive installations the thesis progressively develops the original framework so that it is usable, accessible and understandable by designers. The thesis then goes on to evaluate how twenty design students used the framework to realise a number of public interactive installations in the city of Chicago. The thesis concludes by combining insights from existing research and insights from the studies conducted to present a comprehensive and robust framework structure. The main contribution of the thesis is thus a new generative and evaluative framework for interactive placemaking.
Inflaton Decay in an Alpha Vacuum

description: We study the alpha vacua of de Sitter space by considering the decay rate of the inflaton field coupled to a scalar field placed in an alpha vacuum. We find an {\em alpha dependent} Bose enhancement relative to the Bunch-Davies vacuum and, surprisingly, no non-renormalizable divergences. We also consider a modified alpha dependent time ordering prescription for the Feynman propagator and show that it leads to an alpha independent result. This result suggests that it may be possible to calculate in any alpha vacuum if we employ the appropriate causality preserving prescription.

subject: Turkey

description: Biogas has a unique position among all renewable energy sources for it can address many different demands; electricity, heat, vehicle fuel, fertilizer, waste treatment. Biogas can be combusted in a gen-set to generate electricity and heat or after upgrading to biomethane it can be used as vehicle fuel or feed into gas grid as a substitute of natural gas. Due to these flexible application possibilities, biogas is an advantageous option among all energy technologies particularly in the developing countries which are dependent on imported fossil fuels and facing waste management problems. In this thesis, anaerobic digestion technology and utilization methods of biogas are discussed. The status of biogas production and utilization in Turkey is examined along with the legal background. It was expressed that agricultural wastes represent a high potential for biogas production. The key study addressing the vehicle fuel demand of the farms resulted to be economically feasible. However, biogas market in Turkey is still initiating and there are some legal barriers restricting the penetration of biogas energy.

title: Understanding the Professional Lives of Female Teachers in Rural Sub-Saharan African Schools: A Capability Perspective
Creators: name: Buckler, Alison Sarah
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: This study examines an important dimension of the global challenge to achieve Education for All: the professional lives of female teachers in rural communities in Sub Saharan Africa. Teachers from five countries (Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa and Sudan) provide a focus for exploring the relationship between official representations of teachers' work and the professional lives teachers create and experience. The official perspective is drawn from an analysis of documentary evidence and interviews with policy makers and officials. Teachers; perspectives are derived from an ethnographic and narrative analysis of data collected during fieldwork in schools. The thesis is framed by the capability approach. It compiles lists of professional capablities for each perspective and examines teachers' agency to pursue and achieve these capabilities. The thesis establishes that: - the capability approach provides a frame of reference for understanding the professional lives of teachers. In particular it highlights disconnections between official and teacher perceptions of the teacher role and teacher effectiveness and makes visible patterns of agency teachers have within their professional lives. - the predominantly deficit model of teacher work in Sub-Saharan Africa expressed in policy documentation and the literature fails to take account of the more complex ways in which female working lives are situated; for example the intersection of professional values with rurality and gender. - teachers do not necessarily perceive rurality in negative terms, but rather the "conditions of support" associated with rurality. This defines a further dimension to teacher agency and has implications for re-examining the professional and administrative structures within which teachers work. The thesis concludes by proposing a model of professional capability for female teachers working in rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa in a form that could engage research and policy communities, and suggesting grounds for re-thinking policy orientations to teachers working in such contexts.

description: Direct detection of dark energy or modified gravity may finally be within reach due to ultrasensitive instrumentation such as atom interferometry capable of detecting incredibly small scale accelerations. Forecasts, constraints and measurement bounds can now too perhaps be estimated from accurate numerical simulations of the fifth force and its Laplacian field at solar system scales. The cubic Galileon gravity scalar field model (CGG), which derives from the DGP braneworld model, describes modified gravity incorporating a Vainshtein screening mechanism. The nonlinear derivative interactions in the CGG equation suppress the field near regions of high density, thereby restoring general relativity (GR) while far from such regions, field enhancement is comparable to GR and the equation is dominated by a linear term. This feature of the governing PDE poses some numerical challenges for computation of the scalar potential, force and Laplacian fields even under stationary conditions. Here we present a numerical method based on finite differences for solution of the static CGG scalar field for a 2D axisymmetric Sun-Earth system and a 3D Cartesian Sun-Earth-Moon system. The method relies on gradient descent of an integrated residual based on the normal attractive branch of the CGG equation. The algorithm is shown to be stable, accurate and rapidly convergent toward the global minimum state. We hope this numerical study, which can easily be extended to include smaller bodies such as detection satellites, will prove useful to future measurement of modified gravity force fields at solar system scales.

description: We show that initial conditions for small-field inflation can be determined quantum mechanically by introducing a suitable flattened region in the scalar potential. The inflaton is then driven towards the slow-roll attractor solution exponentially fast, desensitising inflation from the initial velocity and partially evading the so-called overshoot problem. We give an explicit example in the context of hilltop inflation by introducing an ultra slow-roll plateau around the maximum of the potential and analyse its effect on the phase-space trajectories.

Quantum phase transitions out of the heavy Fermi liquid

description: We review recent work on the instability of the heavy Fermi liquid state (FL) of the Kondo lattice towards a magnetic metal in which the local moments are not part of the Fermi sea. Using insights drawn from the theory of deconfined quantum criticality of insulating antiferromagnets, we discuss the possibility of a direct second order transition between the heavy Fermi liquid and such a magnetic metal. We suggest the presence of at least two distinct diverging time scales - the shorter one describes fluctuations associated with the reconstruction of the Fermi surface, while a longer one describes fluctuations of the magnetic order parameter. The intermediate time scale physics on the magnetic side is suggested to be that of a novel fractionalized Fermi liquid (FL*) state with deconfined neutral S=1/2 excitations. This could ultimately devolve into the magnetic phase with conventional order at one of the larger time scales. Experimental implications for this scenario are noted.
