description: Magnetotransport measurements on the overdoped cuprate La_{1.7}Sr_{0.3}CuO_4 are fitted using the Ong construction and band parameters inferred from angle-resolved photoemission. Within a band picture, the low temperature Hall data can only be fitted satisfactorily by invoking strong basal-plane anisotropy in the mean-free-path $\ell$. This violation of the isotropic-$\ell$ approximation supports a picture of dominant small-angle elastic scattering in cuprates due to out-of-plane substitutional disorder. We show that both band anisotropy and anisotropy in the elastic scattering channel strongly renormalize the Hall coefficient in overdoped La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 over a wide doping and temperature range.

description: In statistical mechanical investigations on complex networks, it is useful to employ random graphs ensembles as null models, to compare with experimental realizations. Motivated by transcription networks, we present here a simple way to generate an ensemble of random directed graphs with, asymptotically, scale-free outdegree and compact indegree. Entries in each row of the adjacency matrix are set to be zero or one according to the toss of a biased coin, with a chosen probability distribution for the biases. This defines a quick and simple algorithm, which yields good results already for graphs of size n ~ 100. Perhaps more importantly, many of the relevant observables are accessible analytically, improving upon previous estimates for similar graphs.

description: Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) provides a detailed view of the renormalized band structure and, consequently, is a key to the self-energy and the single-particle Green's function. Here we summarize the ARPES data accumulated over the whole Brillouin zone for the optimally doped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8-δ}$ into a parametric model of the Green's function, which we use for calculating the itinerant component of the dynamic spin susceptibility in absolute units with many-body effects taken into account. By comparison with inelastic neutron scattering (INS) data we show that the itinerant component of the spin response can account for the integral intensity of the experimental INS spectrum. Taking into account the bi-layer splitting, we explain the magnetic resonances in the acoustic (odd) and optic (even) INS channels.

description: The hyperspherical adiabatic expansion is combined with complex scaling and used to calculate low-lying nuclear resonances of $^{12}$C in the $3α$-model. We use Ali-Bodmer potentials and compare results for other potentials $α-α$ with similar $^{8}$Be-properties. A three-body potential is used to adjust the $^{12}$C-resonance positions to desired values extending the applicability of the method to many-body systems decaying into three $α$-particles. For natural choices of three-body potentials we find 14 resonances below the proton separation threshold, i.e. two $0^{+}$, three $2^{+}$, two $4^{+}$, one of each of $1^{\pm}$, $2^{-}$, $3^{\pm}$, $4^{-}$, and $6^{+}$. The partial wave decomposition of each resonance is calculated as function of hyperradius. Strong variation is found from small to large distance. Connection to previous experimental and theoretical results are discussed and agreements as well as disagreements are emphasized.

description: Spin-dependent transport through a two-level quantum dot in the sequential tunneling regime is analyzed theoretically by means of a real-time diagrammatic technique. It is shown that the current, tunnel magnetoresistance, and shot noise (Fano factor) strongly depend on the transport regime, providing a detailed information on the electronic structure of quantum dots and their coupling to external leads. When the dot is asymmetrically coupled to the leads, a negative differential conductance may occur in certain bias regions, which is associated with a super-Poissonian shot noise. In the case of a quantum dot coupled to one half-metallic and one nonmagnetic lead, one finds characteristic Pauli spin blockade effects. Transport may be also suppressed when the dot levels are coupled to the leads with different coupling strengths. The influence of an external magnetic field on transport properties is also discussed.

Serological detection of Didymella lycopersici (Kleb.)
Creators: name: Kimani, Esther Wairimu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Polyclonal antisera produced against spores, soluble protein and the whole mycelium fractions of Didymella lycopersici reacted with the homologous and heterologous antigens. The most sensitive antiserum was that raised against the whole mycelium, the soluble protein and the spore, in decreasing order of sensitivity. Using the antiserum raised against the whole mycelium it was possible to detect D. lycopersici on diseased plants and infested seeds. Cross reactivity was observed between the antisera produced to D. lycopersici and D. applanata, D. bryoniae and other tomato fungal pathogens including Fusarium spp. and B. cinerea. ELISA was most sensitive and reliable compared to double immunodiffusion, and latex tests. No reactions were obtained using the latex agglutination procedure and no antiserum detected spores in double diffusion tests. Protein profiles on SDS-PAGE revealed that the total number of protein bands decreased with increased age of cultures of D. lycopersici incubated in liquid media. Western blots probed with the antiserum raised against the whole mycelium showed that protein bands from extracts of both D. lycopersici and D. applanata were antigenic.
Economic Evaluation of the Austrian Rural Development Programme: Is EU-funding an Appropriate Means to Increase Competitiveness of the Agricultural Sector within the Food Supply Chain?
Creators: name: Meixner, Oliver
Publisher: name: Proceedings in Food System Dynamics
Year: 2019

description: The EU provides a number of subsidies for the European agricultural sector to promote rural development. In particular, the public funding intends to increase the competitive­ness of the agricultural sector within the food supply chain. This paper will only focus on subsidies granted for economic purposes. In Austria, the Federal Ministry for Sustainability and Tourism takes over the responsibility to distribute the funds and guarantees effective use of EU funds. The Ministry is obligated to review the success of the national RDP every two years (2017, 2019 and at the end of the RDP). To evaluate the success of the RDP public funding, the Ministry designated several independent evaluators for all kinds of areas (economic, social, environmental targets). We took over the responsibility to evaluate the economic part of the RDP. In particular, the evaluation scheme focuses on target P3 of the RDP: “Promoting food chain organisation, including processing and marketing of agricultural products, animal welfare and risk management in agriculture”. The relevant focus area (3A) addresses the competitiveness of producers: “Improving competitiveness of primary producers by better integrating them into the agri-food chain through quality schemes, adding value to agricultural products, promotion in local markets and short supply circuits, producer groups and inter-branch organisations” (European Commission, 2014). Indicative public support for this focus area alone amounts to about 540 million Euros (in total, the public spending within the Austrian RDP 2014-20 amounts to almost 8 billion Euro). The parts of focus area 3A relevant for evaluation amount to more than 300 million Euros. To approximate the effectiveness of the public spending, a sample out of all subsidised companies has been evaluated by means of several data sources. In addition to secondary data provided by the companies themselves, we conducted a number of in-depth personal interviews collecting business data, personal estimation of effects, satisfaction with application and transaction procedures, organisational issues, etc. In all, the intention is to approximate the net effects of public funding in view of economic development in rural areas.

description: Large-scale magnetic fields can affect scalar cosmological perturbations whose evolution is described in the conformally Newtonian gauge and within the tight coupling approximation. The magnetized curvature perturbations present after matter radiation equality (and prior to decoupling) are computed in terms of an appropriate transfer matrix allowing a general estimate of the Sachs-Wolfe plateau. From the observation that CMB initial conditions should be (predominantly) adiabatic, the contribution of the magnetic field intensity can be constrained.

description: In this work, the relation between the sparsity patterns of sparse matrices created through FEM descretization of a Possion’s equation problem and the performance of sparse linear system solvers working on them has been investigated. Six representative mesh geometries from the realm of micromagnetic simulations are selected and scaled in resolution and thus also in the number of unknowns in the sparse linear system, to look into the scaling behaviour of the solvers. Various concrete solver implementations are benchmarked against these specimens on three different hardware platforms: CPU, consumer GPU and professional GPU. To gain further insight these benchmarks are also conducted on the same specimen represented in reduced (single) floating point precision. As a microbenchmark the performance of sparse matrix vector multiplications on the different platforms is recorded and put into relation to the solvers overall performance. By characterizing the specimen matrices through the mean distance of each nonzero element to its nearest nonzero neighbor, a novel metric is introduced which can accurately distinguish between matrices with fundamentally different sparsity patterns. A modern solver configuration is identified which offers significant performance gains compared to legacy implementations across all specimen. It is found that the sparse matrix characterization metric can be applied to judge on which matrices the use of a more expensive professional GPU will have the highest return on investment. In the same way, this discriminator can also be applied to choose an appropriate sparse matrix vector multiplication routine for a specific matrix.
Examinee control of item order effects on latent trait model and classical model test statistics
Creators: name: Scales, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to determine what effect changes in the item order had on classical and on latent trait test statistics. As well, comparisons were made between students who were allowed to answer the questions in any order, and students who were required to answer the questions In the order presented in the test booklet. The results were then analyzed using the student's ability level as an additional independent factor. Four different formats of a forty item mathematics test were used with 590 students in grade eight. Half of the booklets had the items sequenced from easiest to hardest. The other booklets were sequenced from hardest to easiest. In addition, half of the tests of each sequence had special directions which prevented students from altering the given item difficulty sequence. The classroom teachers provided a rating of each student's ability in mathematics. The order of the items was found to have a significant effect. Tests which were sequenced from hard to easy had a lower mean score. Although students with test booklets with restrictive directions had lower scores on average, it was not a statistically significant difference. There were no significant interactions found. Classical and latent trait item difficulty statistics showed a high degree of correlation. It was concluded that under certain circumstances, the order of the items could effect both classical and latent trait statistics. It was also recommended that care should be taken when assumptions are made about parallel forms or local independence.

Spectrum of CHL Dyons from Genus-Two Partition Function

description: We compute the genus-two chiral partition function of the left-moving heterotic string for a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ CHL orbifold. The required twisted determinants can be evaluated explicitly in terms of the untwisted determinants and theta functions using orbifold techniques. The dependence on Prym periods cancels neatly once summation over odd charges is properly taken into account. The resulting partition function is a Siegel modular form of level two and precisely equals recently proposed dyon partition function for this model. This result provides an independent weak coupling derivation of the dyon partition function using the M-theory lift of string webs representing the dyons. We discuss generalization of this technique to general $\mathbb{Z}_N$ orbifolds.

description: Branching fraction measurements from Fourier transform spectra in conjunction with published radiative lifetimes are used to determine transition probabilities for 263 lines of neutral chromium. These laboratory values are employed to derive a new photospheric abundance for the Sun: log $ε$(Cr I)$_{\odot}$ = 5.64$\pm$0.01 ($σ= 0.07$). These Cr I solar abundances do not exhibit any trends with line strength nor with excitation energy and there were no obvious indications of departures from LTE. In addition, oscillator strengths for singly-ionized chromium recently reported by the FERRUM Project are used to determine: log $ε$(Cr II)$_{\odot}$ = 5.77$\pm$0.03 ($σ= 0.13$). Transition probability data are also applied to the spectra of three stars: HD 75732 (metal-rich dwarf), HD 140283 (metal-poor subgiant), and CS 22892-052 (metal-poor giant). In all of the selected stars, Cr I is found to be underabundant with respect to Cr II. The possible causes for this abundance discrepancy and apparent ionization imbalance are discussed.

description: We investigate the accretion disk geometry in Galactic black hole sources by measuring the time delay between soft and hard X-ray emissions. Similar to the recent discoveries of anti-correlated hard X-ray time lags in Cyg X-3 and GRS 1915+105, we find that the hard X-rays are anti-correlated with soft X-rays with a significant lag in another source: XTE J1550-564. We also find the existence of pivoting in the model independent X-ray spectrum during these observations. We investigate time-resolved X-ray spectral parameters and find that the variation in these parameters is consistent with the idea of a truncated accretion disk. The QPO frequency, which is a measure of the size of truncated accretion disk, too changes indicating that the geometric size of the hard X-ray emitting region changes along with the spectral pivoting and soft X-ray flux. Similar kind of delay is also noticed in 4U 1630-47.

description: Effective field theory of interacting BFKL pomerons is investigated and Langevin equations for the theory, which arise after the introduction of additional auxiliary field, are obtained. The Langevin equations are considered for the case of interacting BFKL pomerons with both splitting and merging vertexes and for the interaction which includes additional "toy" four pomeron interaction vertex. In the latest case an analogy with the Regge field theory in zero dimensions (RFT-0) was used in order to obtain this "toy" four pomeron interaction vertex. The comparison between the Langevin equations obtained in the frameworks of dipole and RFT approaches is performed, the interpretation of results is given and possible implementation of obtained equations is discussed.

The Use of Iodized Salt in Processed Foods: Empirical Evidence and the Role of Regulation
Creators: name: Herrmann, Roland

Publisher: name: Proceedings in Food System Dynamics
Year: 2019

description: Salt policy is an important element of European nutrition policy. Whereas the per-capita intake of salt in the population is viewed as being too high for health reasons, the intake of iodized salt helps to counteract iodine deficiency. Given this tradeoff, the principle “If salt, then iodized salt!” is formulated in German health and nutrition policy. We address the question whether food processors follow this rule and why this is so. A market study for German grocery retailing and 30,345 processed foods in the food groups bread, meat and milk reveals that the share of products with iodized salt is low and much below the use of iodized salt in private houzseholds. Expert interviews and online surveys of food processors suggest at least three reasons for this evidence: (i) There is incomplete information among food processors with regard to the health benefits of iodized salt. (ii) A minority of salt consumers is actively opposing the iodization of salt. (iii) The reduced use of iodized salt due to (i) and (ii) is not compensated by governmental regulation and an active information and support policy for salt fortification.

The influence of the Breit interaction on the energy shifts from the corresponding diagram lines and on the K$β\_{1}^{\rm h}$/K$β\_{3}^{\rm h}$ intensity ratio is evaluated. The widths of the double-K hole levels are calculated for Al and Sc. The results are compared to experiment and to other theoretical calculations.

description: Aluminum hydride (alane) AlH_3 is an important material in hydrogen storage applications. It is known that AlH_3 exists in multiply forms of polymorphs, where $α$-AlH_3 is found to be the most stable with a hexagonal structure. Recent experimental studies on $γ$-AlH_3 reported an orthorhombic structure with a unique double-bridge bond between certain Al and H atoms. This was not found in $α$-AlH_3 or other polymorphs. Using density functional theory, we have investigated the energetics, and the structural, electronic, and phonon vibrational properties for the newly reported $γ$-AlH_3 structure. The current calculation concludes that $γ$-AlH_3 is less stable than $α$-AlH_3 by 2.1 KJ/mol. Interesting binding features associated with the unique geometry of $γ$-AlH3 are discussed from the calculated electronic properties and phonon vibrational modes. The binding of H-s with higher energy Al-p,d orbitals is enhanced within the double-bridge arrangement, giving rise to a higher electronic energy for the system. Distinguishable new features in the vibrational spectrum of $γ$-AlH_3 were attributed to the double-bridge and hexagonal-ring structures.

description: Here we propose an $A_4$ flavour symmetry model which implies a lower bound on the neutrinoless double beta decay rate, corresponding to an effective mass parameter $M_{ee} \gsim 0.03$ eV, and a direct correlation between the expected magnitude of CP violation in neutrino oscillations and the value of $\sin^2θ_{13}$, as well as a nearly maximal CP phase $δ$.

description: Coffee consumption has expanded at continuous and increasing rates in Brazil and in the world, and at the same time the interest by young people aged 16 to 25 have been increasing due to category innovations and coffeehouses experiences. (Euromonitor, 2016). Previous studies on coffee consumption have addressed a number of issues (Schollenberg, 2012; Chen and Lee, 2015; Carvalho, Paiva and Vieira, 2016; Wang, Yu, 2016), but few explored the functional aspects of coffee in consumer perception (Aguirre, 2016). In this context, this research seeks to add new knowledge to the existing framework with the central objective of understanding young people's perception of coffee as part of their healthy habits. The in-depth interview technique was used and seventeen cases were collected from 19 to 25 year olds in the second half of 2017. A semi-structured script was applied and it was based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) concepts, classified as one of the most relevant models to explain health behaviors. From the HBM adaptation emerged seven analytical categories used for data interpretation through qualitative content analysis. The results showed that, in general, coffee is not associated with a group of foods that are perceived as part of healthy habits, such as vegetables or fruits. However, coffee isn’t unhealthy such as energy drinks. Nevertheless, young people are not familiar with all its functional benefits. The perception of health is limited: coffee could be a source of wellness since it is a fuel for physical exercises or relaxation (break time) besides it is considered the main source of energy to improve productivity at work and in university life. In this specific moment, coffee becomes highly relevant not only as a source of energy to go further in career and studies, but also playing a key role as an instrument for socialization. In other words, besides being a natural stimulant, the drink is perceived as an important ally of adult life transition and symbol of contemporary lifestyle, which justifies its relevance at this stage of young people's life, marked by the quest for independence. Therefore, in the eyes of young people consumers, coffee seems to occupy a unique and strong territory where no other category of food and beverages could be positioned at.

description: This study aims to investigate the consumers’ dairy food choice behaviours and preferences and their affecting factors based on a sample collected in Sari, Iran in 2018. This research used the nested logit model. The results revealed that yoghurt, milk and cheese were the most preferred among dairy products and older consumers were more interested in low-fat dairy products. Affecting factors on consumers’ preferences indicated that price and family expenses decreased the probability of their choice, while variables such as age, education and attention to exercise increased this probability. Marketing mix variables (the 4Ps) also had significant effects on the selection of dairy products.

Individuals' Personality and Consumption of Local Food Specialties

description: In studies of consumption of local food specialties individuals' personality are rarely included. In this article we want to expand and give nuances to the understanding of what characterizes these consumers and ask: Are there any common personality traits, or personal characteristics of these consumers? We make use of the Big Five personality model to unpack the relation between individual's personality and choices of local food specialties. This model consists of the following five personal traits: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Openness to Experience. These personality traits are hidden but through questions regarding behavior the traits may be retrieved. In order to construct latent variables to represent measures of these traits, we apply Item Response Theory (IRT). Socioeconomic variables are combined with personality traits in logistic regression models to find the connection between personality and choice of Norwegian local food specialties. The results show that in all models the latent variable Openness to Experience is a significant predictor for choice of local food specialties. This personality trait was one of the most important predictors in all the choices made by the individuals. Openness to Experience is characterized by fantasy, aesthetic sensitivity, attentiveness to inner feelings, preference for variety, and intellectual curiosity.

description: The steady increase in the consumption of fresh and processed tomatoes is threatening environmental sustainability, as water and fertilizers, two crucial production inputs, are becoming less accessible. To this purpose, the research project TomRes funded by the European Commission H2020 research and innovation programme, is currently undergoing to develop an environmentally sustainable fresh tomato. It is thus of paramount importance to understand if final consumers are willing to accept such a potential sustainable tomato and, may be more importantly, if consumers’ interests and positive attitude towards this product will lead to the decision to purchase. Hence, in this study, we exploit a sample of Italian consumers who responded to a web-survey to analyze the existence of the interest-attitude-behavior gap as well as its main determinants. Our results confirm the existence of this gap in line with other sustainable consumption products.

Le portrait de Louis XIV et la vision de l'histoire chez Saint Simon (Mémoires 1707-1715) : de la création à l'apocalypse
Creators: name: Bree, Susan M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The main aim of this thesis is to examine the vision of history which is presented in the Mémoires of the due de Saint-Simon/ a work which describes life at the French court during the last years of the reign of Louis XIV and during the period of the Regency which followed the death of the Sun King (1691-1723). The thesis is a study based on a close reading of the text itselff using two methods to shed light on the different aspects of the subject. It begins with an investigation of the theme of paternity or fatherhood/ and the way in which this theme relates to the question of royal power/ focusing on the figure of the king himself as he appears in his various father roles: father of both a legitimate and an illegitimate line of children/ and father of his kingdom. The strongly religious and moralistic overtones of Saint-Simon's political and social convictions lead the memorialist to condemn what he sees as the chaos and social disorder resulting from the king's "confusion" of these differing paternal identities. The second half of the thesis is largely a stylistic analysis of two passages taken from the body of the Mémoires. For by examining the style of this work (at both a lexical and a syntactical level)/ one may begin to develop an insight into the way in which Saint-Simon interprets the events of his day in order to fit them into his larger vision of the history of the world. Certain stylistic traits in the text suggest a movement from the mere presentation and explanation of events to an interpretation of their deeper meaning. As well/ frequent references in the Mémoires to both Genesis and Revelations/ taken in conjunction with Saint-Simon's theologo-political view of society/ seem to indicate that the memorialist regards the reign of Louis XIV as being a playing-out/ in miniature/ of the history of the world/ from the Fall to a final confrontation between good and evil. Thus/ in the end/ Saint-Simon's constant need to interpret events leads him away from the simple explanation of causes/ towards the elaboration of a prophetic vision (or "apocalypse") : a dire warning issued to the monarchy and to the people of France as to the fate which may yet befall them, if the process of corruption begun by the Sun King himself is not somehow reversed.
Reorganization of the Sugar Beet Supply Process as an Opportunity for a more Sustainable Transport: Based on a Model for the Polish Sugar Sector

description: This paper presents the impact of reorganization efforts on the ability to enhance the sustainability of the sugar beet supply process, as illustrated by the example of the Polish sugar sector. As a result of the solutions deployed, the farmers spend less on beet transport and may therefore allocate the freed-up resources to other activities. The professionalization of transport also contributed to reducing the farmers’ expenditure on logistical activities involved in sugar beet farming and delivery. These are benefits that directly affect the economic viability of sugar beet farming. As regards the environmental and social impact of transport, it was concluded that making consistent efforts to restrict the transport operations handled directly by the growers contributed to reducing (i) carbon exhaust emissions and (ii) nuisance caused by agricultural vehicles on public roads. In the period under review, the reorganization of beet supply to sugar refineries resulted in decreasing the CO2 emission ratio from 6.38 kg/t to 4.07 kg/t (by 36%).

description: NICMOS observations of the resolved object fluxes in the Hubble Deep Field North and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field are significantly below the fluxes attributed to a 1.4 - 1.8 microns Near InfraRed Background Excess (NIRBE) from previous low spatial resolution NIRS measurements. Tests placing sources in the NICMOS image with fluxes sufficient to account for the NIRBE indicate that the NIRBE flux must be either flat on scales greater than 100 arc second or clumped on scales of several arc minutes to avoid detection in the NICMOS image. A fluctuation analysis of the new NICMOS data shows a fluctuation spectrum consistent with that found at the same wavelength in deep 2MASS calibration images. The fluctuation analysis shows that the majority of the fluctuation power comes from resolved galaxies at redshifts of 1.5 and less and that the fluctuations observed in the earlier deep 2MASS observations can be completely accounted for with normal low redshift galaxies. Neither the NICMOS direct flux measurements nor the fluctuation analysis require an additional component of near infrared flux other than the flux from normal resolved galaxies in the redshift range between 0 and 7. The residual fluctuations in the angular range between 1 and 10 arc seconds is 1-2 nW m-2 sr-1 which is at or above several predictions of fluctuations from high redshift population III objects, but inconsistent with attributing the entire NIRBE to high redshift galaxies.
