Lillooet phonology, texts and dictionary

description: The reasons for writing North American Indian stories and legends are both numerous and obvious, especially in light of the fact that many Indian languages, which hitherto have orally preserved such material, are dying due to many complex, socioeconomic factors. Less obvious is the manner in which such material should be preserved; however, few would dispute that to do so by ignoring the source language would be to ignore a fundamental means of transcending the ethnic barrier to the Indian cognitive system from which the legends are derived. While many such descriptions of Indian material exist, the linguistic models used in these descriptions render them unintelligible to both Indian and non-Indian alike. The aim of this project, therefore, has been to collect a sizeable corpus of material in the Lillooet language and not only to write it in a manner discernible to the layman as well as the language specialist but also to present it in a manner which could provide the basis for a more technical linguistic study. Part One of the three parts comprising this study presents the description of the phonological system used to transcribe the corpus given in Part Two and Part Three. This description is based on an analysis of the entire corpus which was achieved by using the 360/67 IBM computer located at the University of British Columbia. Further, this description is governed by the criteria of descriptive and functional adequacy defined in Part One, and this part concludes with statistical data supplementing the phonological description. Part Two gives a transcription of eight Lillooet texts with a quasi-literal, English translation below each line. Immediately following each of the texts is a free English translation. Part Three is a dictionary of basic lexical and phrasal units. In that the transcribed material of Part Two and Part Three was read with understanding by a native speaker of Lillooet and in that further linguistic research based on this material is now under way, the dual aim of this project has been achieved.

description: With the gauge-invariant perturbation theory, we study the effects of the stellar magnetic fields on the polar gravitational waves emitted during the homogeneous dust collapse. We found that the emitted energy in gravitational waves depends strongly not only on the initial stellar radius but also on the rasio between the poloidal and toroidal magnetic components. The polar gravitational wave output of such a collapse can be easily up to a few order of magnitude larger than what we get from the nonmagnetized collapse. The changes due to the existence of magnetic field could be helpful to extract some information of inner magnetic profiles of progenitor from the detection of the gravitational waves radiated during the black hole formation, which results from the stellar collapse.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The landing obligation stated in the article 15 of the EU regulation No 1380/2013 in the Common Fisheries Policy considers some exemptions to the general rule, being one of these exemptions the one that refers to the high survival rates of the discard. According to this exemption some experiments were carried out in the Basque purse seine fleet in regular commercial fishing conditions. The objective of the experiments was to assess the survival rate of the discard in this fishery. The purse seine gear due to its technical characteristics and way of use is one of the most successful techniques when it comes to the survival of discarded fish. The tested species were mackerel (Scomber scombrus), horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and Spanish mackerel (Scomber japonicus). Results obtained show promising survival rates in some fishing condition. However, the high number of factors affecting survival makes it difficult to achieve statistical signification.

description: The Aladin sky atlas of the Virtual Observatory has shown to be a powerful and easy-handling tool for the discovery, confirmation, and characterisation of high proper-motion, multiple stellar systems of large separation in the solar vicinity. Some of these systems have very low mass components (at the star/brown dwarf boundary) and are amongst the least bound systems found to date. With projected physical separations of up to tens of thousands astronomical units, these systems represent a challenge for theoretical scenarios of formation of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. Here we show preliminary results of a novel "virtual" search of binary systems and companions to Luyten stars with proper motions between 0.5 and 1.0 arcsec/a.

Konishi at strong coupling from ABE

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this letter, we derive analytically the scaling dimension of the Konishi operator in planar N=4 gauge theory at strong coupling from the asymptotic Bethe equations. The first two leading terms agree with the recent string computation and numerical analysis of TBA equations. At the third order we find spurious logarithm of the coupling constant, which should be absent in the anomalous dimension of any finite operator of planar N=4 SYM theory. Showing the cancelation of this term would provide an important test at strong coupling for the recently proposed sets of TBA equations for planar AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: We describe the design and function of a circular magnetic waveguide produced from wires on a microchip for atom interferometry using deBroglie waves. The guide is a two-dimensional magnetic minimum for trapping weak-field seeking states of atoms or molecules with a magnetic dipole moment. The design consists of seven circular wires sharing a common radius. We describe the design, the time-dependent currents of the wires and show that it is possible to form a circular waveguide with adjustable height and gradient while minimizing perturbation resulting from leads or wire crossings. This maximal area geometry is suited for rotation sensing with atom interferometry via the Sagnac effect using either cold atoms, molecules and Bose-condensed systems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The ‘Real-Time Incentive (RTI)’ fisheries-management instrument replaces catch/landings quotas and days-at-sea limitations with a single ‘quota’ of fishing-impact credits (‘RTIs’), for the integrated regulation of fishing mortality rates of multiple species and impacts on the ecosystem. Fishers can fish where and when they want and spend their allocated RTIs according to spatiotemporally varying tariffs. Managers set the tariffs based on agreed target mortality rates of multiple species, using knowledge of the spatiotemporally varying catchabilities of the various species caught/impacted in a mixed fishery. Through conceptual simulations we explore algorithms for combining historical and real-time CPUE data of the different species. Results demonstrate: In a traditional landings-quota scenario the fishers continue fishing until all quotas are exhausted and overexploit two of the three species by 100% and 33% respectively. In a catch-quota scenario (or equivalent effort-regime) where fishers have to stop fishing as soon as the first quota is exhausted, two of the three species are underexploited by 50% and 33% respectively. In an RTI-scenario, the choke species is overexploited by only 4% and the other two species underexploited by only 12% and 6% respectively. Our explorations demonstrate the potential of the RTIsystem to address some problems of the landings obligation.
Induced gravity and the gauge technique
Creators: name: Eastaugh, Alexander Geoffrey
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The apparent incompatibility of the quantum theory with general relativity is well known. In this thesis we consider a possible solution to this problem, namely the program of induced gravity. The problem of quantum gravity, namely its nonrenormalizability, is due to its scale non-invariance. The assumption of the induced gravity program is to begin with a fundamental scale invariant Lagrangian which is renormalizable. Quantum fluctuations can break scale invariance and thus it is possible that the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian will be induced, as first shown by Sakharov. This breaking of a classical symmetry by quantum fluctuations is called dynamical symmetry breaking. It is possible to derive a relation between the induced Newtonian gravitational constant, G, and the stress-energy tensor of the matter fields. This formula, due to Adler and Zee, is derived. A review is given of all previous model calculations of G and their successes and failures noted. The extension to a quantized metric is considered and the properties of the scale invariant fundamental gravitational Lagrangian are studied. Since the idea of inducing gravity as a quantum effect is essentially a non-perturbative effect, we require non-perturbative techniques to obtain useful information. One such technique is the Delbourgo-Salam Gauge Technique. A review of this technique is given, followed by its application to the program of induced gravity. The philosophy of this ansatze is used to calculate an approximation to the contribution to G from a general fermiongraviton theory in terms of the spectral function of the fermion. The details of the Gauge Technique are then used to perform an actual calculation of the contribution to G from QED. The result is quite small, signifying that the contribution to G from the electrodynamic interactions of the low mass fermions does not lead to any unexpected surprises.
Pulsating aurora and magnetic Pi(c) pulsations

description: This thesis is the result of a year spent at Macquarie Island (54¬¨‚àû 30'S, 158¬¨‚àû57'E) on the 1983 Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition, collecting data pertaining to pulsating aurora and geomagnetic Pi(c) micropulsations. Data was collected with a 0.2s sampling period and stored by an LSI-11 microcomputer on floppy disks for the bulk of the year, then on RLO2 hard disk for the final months. Strong peak-to-peak correlations were observed between the optical pulsating aurora, measured at the N2+ 4278A band head emission, and the micropulsations. Average time delays were determined to be 0.6s and 0.3s for the D and H Pi(c) micropulsations respectively, trailing the optical fluctuations. The H component Pi(c) micropulsations will be shown to be consistent with a precipitation induced Hall conductivity enhancement of the westward E-region auroral electrojet during the greater part of this activity. The sign, or phase, of the 4278A/H micropulsation correlation function was in close agreement with the large scale magnetogram H component perturbation. The D component Pi(c) have in the past been interpreted as either an E-region Pedersen conductivity induced variation, or a direct field aligned current effect. Their correlation sign, or phase, is shown to be not in accord with the large scale D component magnetograms which are known to be effected by other than E-region currents, namely the field aligned fluxes.\ The D micropulsations are more frequently correlated at an acceptable level with the optical emission and their correlations are in general of greater magnitude than those of the H Pi(c). Experimentally observed lack of a frequency doubling in the micropulsations with respect to the optical trace occasional phase reversals of the correlations and the delay sequence wherein the optical pulses predominantly lead the H micropulsations which in turn generally lead the D component can all be reasonably explained in terms of the above theories. A model has been developed involving rotations of the total ionospheric electric field which makes basic predictions concerning the phases of the correlations and the lead-lag relationship between the micropulsation components. These predictions are borne out by the data set specifically during phase reversals and strongly indicate that the H and D Pi(c) micropulsations result from precipitation induced conductivity fluctuations in E-region current systems."

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. There is an increasing pressure on the fisheries to avoid bycatch and discards, recently expressed as a landing obligation in the new EU Common Fisheries Policy. The standard answer is selective gear development. We propose a supplementing strategy of time-place selectivity by sharing real-time data and information about areas with high abundance of unwanted species and sizes (hotspots). The voluntary information sharing for avoiding hotspots is discussed in relation to existing time-place regulations as well as incentives for sharing of such information. Experiences from previous real-time information sharing systems are examined for a departure for development of four models for fishermen’s sharing of information. The models differ in data and information collection methods, ownership of data and recipients of hotspot maps and warnings. The models are discussed in regard cost/effort to collect data, type of information outcome and not least ownership and incentives for the individual fisher to participate by providing information. The models are offered as possible tools for the fishing industry to react on the increasing pressure for selective fishing.

description: A theory for laser ion acceleration is presented to evaluate the maximum ion energy in the interaction of ultrahigh contrast (UHC) intense laser with a nanometer-scale foil. In this regime the energy of ions may be directly related to the laser intensity and subsequent electron dynamics. This leads to a simple analytical expression for the ion energy gain under the laser irradiation of thin targets. Significantly, higher energies for thin targets than for thicker targets are predicted. Theory is concretized to the details of recent experiments which may find its way to compare with these results.

Orthosymplectic superalgebras in mathematics and science
Creators: name: Farmer, R J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is devoted to the study of the representation theory of orthosymplectic superalgebras and their applications to physical theories. Techniques are developed to educe typical and atypical finite-dimensional, irreducible representations of orthosymplectic superalgebras. These include superfield and weight space procedures which are illustrated for several low-rank orthosymplectic superalgebras. Young supertableaux are used to enumerate finite-dimensional typical, tensor representations and spinor representations of OSp(M/N), and atypical, tensor representations of OSp(2/2), OSp(3/2) and OSp(4/2). Relations between Kac-Dynkin and supertableau labels are obtained and used to present conditions on diagram shape, necessary and sufficient for atypicality. Modification rules for typical supertableaux of OSp(M/N), and for atypical supertableaux of OSp(2/2), OSp(3/2) and OSp(4/2) are presented. Dimension formulae, in diagram notation, are discussed for typical, representations of OSp(M/N). New superfield realisations are presented for the determination of infinite-dimensional irreducible representations of N-extended super-Poincare algebras with central charges. These are illustrated for the N=2 extended super-Poincare algebra with one central charge. Finally, a discussion of the roles played by orthosymplectic supergroups in some physical theories is presented.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn's novel : The first circle
Creators: name: McKay, John Nichol
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Russian novel V kruge pervom (The First Circle) shows its author, Alexander Isayevich Solzhenitsyn, to be a socially conscious writer and a man who is acutely aware of the spiritual dilemmas of modern man. The ethical questions to which he devotes himself in this novel are placed within the context of a moral philosophy which derives its essence from the Slavophiles of the nineteenth century. As a critic of modern tendencies, Solzhenitsyn is agitated about a lack of interest in man as an individual. The essential message conveyed by the novel is that man is in a materialistic impasse, and the way out of that impasse resides in a greater understanding of his functions as a human being. The author deprecates any system of thought and organized mode of life which tends to take a mechanistic view of man and to depersonalize the basis of human relations. As the symbolic conscience of modern Russia, he restores to Russian literature the humanism and moral universalism which characterized the tradition of critical realism of the previous century. For Solzhenitsyn freedom is a spiritual matter. The right to speak freely and to publish one's thoughts is not, for him, just as it was not for the Slavophiles before him, a political right, but a natural endowment. His courageous defence of this principle and his unwavering loyalty to and pursuit of Truth have won him international respect, which culminated in the award of the Nobel Prize in 1970. In its literary and philosophical qualities, The First Circle (and all his published work) distinguishes Solzhenitsyn from his contemporaries as the leading prosaist of the Soviet Union. The First Circle is genuine realism, the very antithesis of the contrived novels which dominate Soviet prose under that ruinous prescription of "socialist realism." This thesis is presented in an introduction, three central chapters and a conclusion. The INTRODUCTION traces the background and setting of the novel. CHAPTER I turns to its structure and style. CHAPTER II treats the language of the camps and prisons. The First Circle is a rare source of this slang diction and is therefore a valuable contribution to linguistics. CHAPTER III examines the problems of ethics which disturb the author and which are considered to be the most important side of his novel. The CONCLUSION summarizes Solzhenitsyn's significance as a modern author and comments on his defence of freedom of speech and the creative word.

description: A well established framework of an uncoupled hierarchical modeling approach is adopted here for the prediction of macroscopic material parameters of the Generalized Leonov (GL) constitutive model intended for the analysis of flexible pavements at both moderate and elevated temperature regimes. To that end, a recently introduced concept of a statistically equivalent periodic unit cell (SEPUC) is addressed to reflect a real microstructure of Mastic Asphalt mixtures (MAm). While mastic properties are derived from an extensive experimental program, the macroscopic properties of MAm are fitted to virtual numerical experiments performed on the basis of first order homogenization scheme. To enhance feasibility of the solution of the underlying nonlinear problem a two-step homogenization procedure is proposed. Here, the effective material properties are first found for a mortar phase, a composite consisting of a mastic matrix and a fraction of small aggregates. These properties are then introduced in place of the matrix in actual unit cells to give estimates of the model parameters on macroscale. Comparison with the Mori-Tanaka predictions is also provided suggesting limitations of classical micromechanical models.

description: The author (physicist)has observed the very strange,beautiful and frightening Lightning Ball (LB). He has never forgotten this phenomenon. During his working life he could not devote himself to the problem of LB-formation.Only two years ago as he has been reading different unbelievable models of LB-formation, he decided to work on this problem. By studying the literature and the crucial points of his observation the author succeeded in creating a completely new model of Lightning Ball(LB) and Ball Lightning(BL)-formation based on the symmetry breaking of the hydrodynamic vortex ring.This agrees fully with the observation and overcomes the shortcomings of current models of LB formation. This model provides answers to the questions: Why are LBs so rarely observed,why do BLs in rare cases have such a high energy and how can we generate LB in the laboratory? Moreover the author differentiates between LB and BL, the latter having a high energy and occuring in 5 % of the observations. Keywords: ball lightning, hydrodynamic vortex ring, symmetry breaking, electroluminescence, triboelectrification.

No steady state flows below the yield stress. A true yield stress at last?

description: For more than 20 years it has been debated if yield stress fluids are solid below the yield stress or actually flow; whether true yield stress fluids exist or not. Advocates of the true yield stress picture have demonstrated that the effective viscosity increases very rapidly as the stress is decreased towards the yield stress. Opponents have shown that this viscosity increase levels off, and that the material behaves as a Newtonian fluid of very high viscosity below the yield stress. In this paper, we demonstrate experimentally (on four different materials, using three different rheometers, five different geometries, and two different measurement methods) that the low-stress Newtonian viscosity is an artifact that arises in non steady state experiments. For measurements as long as 10,000 seconds we find that the value of the 'Newtonian viscosity' increases indefinitely. This proves that the yield stress exists and marks a sharp transition between flowing states and states where the steady state viscosity is infinite -a solid!

The upgrading of Jefferys Track : a methodological investigation into the application of cost-benefit analysis to development roads

Year: 2023

description: The proposal that the Lachlan to Crabtree track, now officially known as Jefferys Track, should be upgraded to allow the passage of cars and trucks has been mooted from time to time over a long period of years by various local residents and politicians. The Derwent Region Transportation Study in its Final Report (1979) dismissed such suggestions in three short paragraphs, claiming \....the cost of an all weather all vehicle route (at least $5.0 m) is too great for the likely resulting benefits\" (p. 58). Recent events including the closure of the Australian Paper Manufacturers pulp-pellet plant at Geeveston and the subsequent high increase in unemployment in an area noted for its timber resources have again stimulated calls for the upgrading of Jefferys Track to facilitate greater economic (and social) interaction between the Communities in the lower Derwent and Huon Valleys. The Legislative Council members for Huon the Hon. Peter Hodgman and Derwent the Hon. Charles Batt have both publicly supported the proposal and the Forestry Commission is at present preparing a confidential report for the Tasmanian Government on the feasibility of upgrading the route for use by log trucks."
Residential segregation of elite groups in Vancouver, British Columbia
Creators: name: Cooper, Marion Gibb Struthers
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The concern of this study is with residential location. It is contended that while consideration of economic and broad social variables will explain general patterns of segregation, finer differentiation exists which can only be revealed when detailed household characteristics are taken into account. The hypothesis under examination is that the social character of an individual or household has a significant effect on the choice of residential location, people with similar social characteristics grouping together in the same residential area. The hypothesis was tested in two upper income areas of Vancouver, British Columbia - Shaughnessy and British Properties - the expectation being that two distinct groups might emerge, representing an old elite group and a new upper class. Such a distinction was sought in terms of three main variables - mobility, family ties and social background. After interviewing thirty households in each area it was found that two distinct groups did emerge, the Shaughnessy group displaying characteristics attributable to the old upper class - stability, strong family ties and a prestige social background common to all the members - while the British Properties residents were highly mobile, had weak family ties and varied social backgrounds lacking the prestige elements present in the other group, such characteristics being typical of a new elite. These distinct social groups are shown to be spatially segregated with households of similar characteristics occupying the same residential area.
Scholia Bernensia : an edition of the scholia on the Eclogues of Virgil in Bern Burgerbibliothek manuscript 172
Creators: name: Daintree, David Charles Campbell
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The central feature of this dissertation is an edition of the marginal notes, or glosses, on the Eclogues of Virgil, to be found in Bern Stadtbibliothek MS 172, a ninth-century manuscript written in carolingian minuscules and known as the 'floriacensis' after its place of origin, the monastery of Fleury. Together with a clearly related set of glosses in MSS 165 and 167 of the same Library, these commentaries have long borne the collective name Scholia Bernensia. Central to my thesis is the proposition that commentaries were not copied and transmitted with the same type of 'reverence' that was accorded to classical literary works, but that they were constantly subjected to modification, deletion and interpolation at the discretion of the scholar or scribe who copied them, in accordance with the perceived needs of those for whom they were intended. It follows, then, that the established methods of textual criticism, by which an ancient and original literary work is restored or established from the extant manuscripts, cannot be employed in the handling of commentaries and glosses, for no single antique original may ever have existed. To put it another way, each commentary may indeed be derived largely from original sources, and they may well be legion, but it is itself a new and unique composition assembled from a diversity of sources of varying age and value, at the compiler's discretion. It further follows from all that has been said above that the final printed edition of a commentary ought to reflect something of the character of the manuscript (or family of manuscripts) from which it is derived, that the often composite nature of the manuscript version ought not to be obscured, and that the modern editor ought to resist the temptation to fabricate a coherent and integrated commentary by padding it out with borrowings from such as Servius, whenever echoes of the older and respected commentator fall upon the ear. The modern edition should, then, be closer in character to a diplomatic version, for the precise nature of the text as transmitted through the ages is of very much more importance to the modern student of commentaries than to the scholar whose primary interest lies in the classics themselves; to the latter the actual process of transmission will only ever be incidental. This dissertation will also assess the evidence for an Irish 'interlude' in the tradition of the Scholia Bernensia and related commentaries, and in particular for the now well-established proposition that an immediate precursor of our commentary was one compiled by Adamnan, Abbot of Iona (ob. 704), incorporating a body of material which he in turn derived from Filargirius (or Philargyrius), an otherwise unknown pagan commentator of the putative Milan school.

description: What do Brian May (the Queen's lead guitarist), William Herschel and the Jupiter Symphony have in common? And a white dwarf, a piano and Lagartija Nick? At first glance, there is no connection between them, nor between Music and Astronomy. However, there are many revealing examples of musical Astronomy and astronomical Music. This four-page proceeding describes the sonorous poster that we showed during the VIII Scientific Meeting of the Spanish Astronomical Society.

description: I would like to tell you something about my practice area. In the five-county area which we cover, there are about 60 dairies, ranging in size from 100 to 10,000 cows (the average having 300 to 400 cows). We are responsible for about 10,000 of these cows. My brother, who is also a veterinarian, is in practice with me. We have an 800-cow dairy which he manages while I1'1anage the practice. This arrangement has helped us tremendously because it has convinced us and our clients that a dairy manager cannot run a dairy and keep up with the changes in veterinary medicine. We know that a veterinarian is a valuable member of the dairy management team. The greatest cause of health problems in our area is high temperature, high humidity, and high water. When I say high water, I mean deep mud. I have seen charts that combine temperature and wind velocity to arrive at a chill factor. I wish someone would chart a heat factor from temperature and humidity. We can have 80° weather with 80-90% humidity and the cows will hunt any kind of shade, even a fence post, and stand or lie breathing heavily with tongues hanging out. Our worst months are June through September or October. Average daytime temperature is over 90° and 80% relative humidity. We have more than 70 days during these months with temperatures over 90°. At the same time we have over 63% of our annual rainfall which is over 54 inches.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Reforms of EU Common Fisheries Policy will make fundamental changes to European fisheries management, including a discard ban with catch quotas for regulated species and management to achieve MSY. We evaluate the impact of these changes on revenue of North Sea demersal finfish fleets and fish stocks. With no change in behaviour, revenue is reduced by a mean of 31% compared to current management in the first year, but partly recovers by year 3, as fishing mortality is reduced and stocks increase. There are large differences in revenue changes between fleets, varying from -99% to +36%, depending on whether the stock with the most limiting catch quota is a primary target and the rate at which it is caught relative to other stocks. Impacts will be greatest if catch quotas are set at current landings quotas, and reduce with an uplift to reflect current discarding levels. Large reductions in revenue create a strong incentive to avoid catching the limiting species, particularly if it is not a primary target. Selectivity changes that avoid 30% cod catch reduced the economic impact for some fleets in moving to catch quotas. Increased flexibility will therefore be important in maintaining the profitability of the fisheries.

description: The rubber hoof block is rapid and easy to use with a perfectly acceptable length of action that makes it a standard part of routine hoof care and treatment. You use the block in all cases where there is an indication for pain relief or simply to help with faster healing. Many practitioners no longer use other forms of hoof dressing such as bandages as this technique is so quick and cheap. The main drawback with rubber blocks is that they require quite a lot of skill to apply properly and many veterinarians have given up at the "learning hurdle" instead of persisting in practicing the technique and mastering it.

description: The electromagnetic fields in Maxwell's theory satisfy linear equations in the classical vacuum. This is modified in classical non-linear electrodynamic theories. To date there has been little experimental evidence that any of these modified theories are tenable. However with the advent of high-intensity lasers and powerful laboratory magnetic fields this situation may be changing. We argue that an approach involving the self-consistent relativistic motion of a smooth fluid-like distribution of matter (composed of a large number of charged or neutral particles) in an electromagnetic field offers a viable theoretical framework in which to explore the experimental consequences of non-linear electrodynamics. We construct such a model based on the theory of Born and Infeld and suggest that a simple laboratory experiment involving the propagation of light in a static magnetic field could be used to place bounds on the fundamental coupling in that theory. Such a framework has many applications including a new description of the motion of particles in modern accelerators and plasmas as well as phenomena in astrophysical contexts such as in the environment of magnetars, quasars and gamma-ray bursts.

description: Production of the highest possible quality milk is extremely important for today's dairy farm. There is increasing pressure from both regulatory and consumer interests in improving the quality of milk and the perception of the quality of milk that is available on dairy shelves for consumers. The veterinarian has been identified repeatedly in studies as being one of the most trusted advisors to dairy producers. Unfortunately, many dairy veterinarians have not become involved in the milk quality programs of their clients. If the veterinary profession does not become involved in this key area of profitability, then other individuals will become involved with your clients.

description: We examine the supersymmetry (SUSY) reach of the CERN LHC operating at $\sqrt{s}=10$ and 14 TeV within the framework of the minimal supergravity model. We improve upon previous reach projections by incorporating updated background calculations including a variety of $2\to n$ Standard Model (SM) processes. We show that SUSY discovery is possible even before the detectors are understood well enough to utilize either $E_T^{\rm miss}$ or electrons in the signal. We evaluate the early SUSY reach of the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=10$ TeV by examining multi-muon plus $\ge4$ jets and also dijet events with {\it no} missing $E_T$ cuts and show that the greatest reach in terms of $m_{1/2}$ occurs in the dijet channel. The reach in multi-muons is slightly smaller in $m_{1/2}$, but extends to higher values of $m_0$. We find that an observable multi-muon signal will first appear in the opposite-sign dimuon channel, but as the integrated luminosity increases the relatively background-free but rate-limited same-sign dimuon, and ultimately the trimuon channel yield the highest reach. We show characteristic distributions in these channels that serve to distinguish the signal from the SM background, and also help to corroborate its SUSY origin. We then evaluate the LHC reach in various no-lepton and multi-lepton plus jets channels {\it including} missing $E_T$ cuts for $\sqrt{s}=10$ and 14 TeV, and plot the reach for integrated luminosities ranging up to 3000 fb$^{-1}$ at the SLHC. For $\sqrt{s}=10$ TeV, the LHC reach extends to $m_{gluino}=1.9, 2.3, 2.8$ and 2.9 TeV for $m_{squark}\sim m_{gluino}$ and integrated luminosities of 10, 100, 1000 and 3000 fb$^{-1}$, respectively. For $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV, the LHC reach for the same integrated luminosities is to $m_{gluino}=2.4,\3.1, 3.7$ and 4.0 TeV.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The new European Common Fisheries Policy, which entered into force 1 January 2014, changes the context of observation onboard commercial fishing vessels. Article 15 of the new regulation provides for a gradual reduction of discards by the obligation to land all catch of regulated species over the forthcoming years. These rules may affect the biases in observer programmes. First, deployment bias happens when the observed trips are not representative of the actual fishing activity. Second, observation bias happens because fishers behave differently when an observer is onboard. Both biases are likely to change under a discard ban, compared to the former CFP under which discarding was allowed. Therefore, unless powerful control and efforcement measures are implemented, the onboard observer data may become less representative of the actual fishing activities, and catches.
