description: Ziel der Arbeit ist es, durch das Verfahren der Clusteranalyse landwirtschaftliche Unternehmen mit Marktfruchtbau mit ähnlichen Eigenschaften zu bündeln. Die Gruppenbildung soll unter anderem Hinweise darauf liefern, ob charakteristische Handlungsmuster mit der Höhe des Erfolges korrespondieren. Datengrundlage für die Untersuchung sind hoch spezialisierte Unternehmen mit Marktfruchtbau auf guten natürlichen Standorten in den Bundesländern Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Brandenburg. Die hier durchgeführte hierarchisch-aggolomerative Clusteranalyse basiert im Wesentlichen auf dem Ward-Algorithmus. Die untersuchten Unternehmen werden in acht relativ homogene Gruppen unterteilt, die sich voneinander prägnant unterscheiden. Folgende Ergebnisse sind festzuhalten. Eine Gruppe von Clustern mit einem insgesamt niedrigen Niveau der Naturalerträge setzt Aufwendungen ein, die erheblich, und zwar um 120 €/ha, voneinander abweichen. Das Gleiche gilt für eine zweite Gruppe von Clustern mit einem im Ganzen hohen Niveau der Naturalerträge. Umgekehrt erzielt eine nächste Gruppe von Clustern mit einem nahezu gleichen, niedrigen Aufwand Naturalerträge, die spürbar (11 dt/ha) auseinander fallen. Das Gleiche gilt für weitere Gruppe von Clustern mit einem überaus ähnlichen, aber sehr hohen Aufwand. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich, dass ein gegebener mittlerer bis hoher Erfolg auf betont verschiedenen Wegen zustande kommt. Von Gruppen, die mit sehr hohem Aufwand sehr hohe Naturalerträge erstellen, lassen sich Gruppen abgrenzen, die mit ausgeprägt niedrigem Aufwand mittlere bis hohe Naturalerträge realisieren. Ein Vergleich mit eindimensional angelegten Auswertungen auf der Grundlage von Erfolgsquartilen macht deutlich, dass diese Gruppierung Handlungen zur Steigerung des Erfolges impliziert, die im Lichte mehrdimensionaler Analysen nicht sachgerecht sind. Die Handlungslinien, um gute wirtschaftliche Ergebnisse zu erzielen, sind, anders als die eindimensionale Analyse nahe legt, recht divergent. Was sind die Ursachen für die Beobachtungen? Die Analyse legt die Vermutung nahe, dass Unterschiede im Management und in den natürlichen Standortfaktoren die ungleichen Handlungsmuster und Erfolge begründen. Infolge der Datengrundlage muss jedoch offen bleiben, welche natürlichen Standortfaktoren eine hier nicht identifizierte Rolle gespielt haben könnten. Dem explorativen Ansatz der Analyse entsprechend lässt sich zudem nicht abgrenzen, durch welche Dimensionen des Managements die Ergebnisse ursächlich zu erklären sind. Die damit für diese und ähnlich gelagerte Unternehmen verbundenen Fragestellungen haben ein hohes Gewicht. Denn die Cluster mit den wirtschaftlich besten Ergebnissen weisen, teils divergent, auf Handlungsmuster hin, die auch unter Weltmarktbedingungen eine konkurrenzfähige Produktion ermöglichen.

description: General theoretic approach to classical Loschmidt echoes in chaotic systems with many degrees of freedom is developed. For perturbations which affect essentially all degrees of freedom we find a doubly exponential decay with the rate determined by the largest Lyapunov exponent. The scaling of the decay rate on the perturbation strength depends on whether the initial phase-space density is continuous or not.

description: Extracurricular internships have benefited students and organizations by providing exposure to the work environment and assisting in the development of job-related skills. The experience of internship can provide much more than a career-related opportunity. Internship may be a window from which to observe how individuals cognitively navigate unknown social spaces. How an individual contextualizes internship and how he/she attaches meaning to the experience may provide insight into the human process of learning and, specifically, how a complex human system adapts to change. This research study examines one such experience of internship in a secondary school setting in which high school juniors are immersed in the work environment for four weeks as part of their academic requirements for graduation. How an adolescent navigates and adapts to a foreign environment, having no daily support mechanisms such as friends, family, or teachers, will be explored.

The biology of three novel natural product microtubule interacting agents : ceratamine A and B and dimethyl varacin
Creators: name: Karjala, Geoffrey William George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Microtubules are dynamic polymers of the protein tubulin. The dynamic property of microtubules allows the network to breakdown and form new structures like the mitotic spindle. Microtubule associated proteins and small molecules can alter the dynamics. Changing the dynamics by the addition of small molecules can prevent the proper formation of the mitotic spindle and lead to mitotic arrest. Some of these antimitotic agents have had clinical success in cancer treatment with the vinca alkaloids inducing the underpolymerisation and paclitaxel (Taxol™) promoting the overpolymerisation of microtubules. In addition, small molecules that alter the microtubule network are gaining use in chemical genetics. A phenotypic antimitotic assay has been used to discover three novel compounds that interact with the microtubule network. The first two, ceratamine A and B are classic antimitotic agents that block cells in M-phase and prevent proliferation, probably by disrupting the microtubule network. They stimulate the over-polymerization of microtubules in vitro as determined by both microtubule polymerization assays and electron microscopy. In vivo, ceratamines induce the formation of tubulin-containing structures not previously described. These structures include pillars of tubulin in mitotic cells and a perinuclear microtubule network during interphase. Ceratamines do not compete with paclitaxel for binding to the microtubules, and are very structurally simple. The same phenotypic antimitotic assay was used to discover dimethyl varacin (DMV). Flow cytometry data indicated that DMV is not an antimitotic agent and does not block cells in any particular phase of the cell cycle, though it does inhibit proliferation. It induces strong GF-7 phospho-specific antibody binding (typical only in mitosis) from all phases of the cell cycle. Western blots and Kinexiis Kinetworks™ screens showed that a two hours DMV treatment at 5 μM leads to the strong activation of MAPK pathways (Erkl/2, p38 α MAPK, and JNK/SAPK) without a significant increase in Cdc2 activity or global phosphorylation. It was also found to strongly inhibit microtubule formation in vitro and in vivo. Though both DMV and the ceratamines were discovered in the same antimitotic screen and both target microtubules, they have dramatically different biological properties.

description: The increasing demand of smart security systems has enhanced the demand for the proper identification and verification of a person. In this context, accurate estimation of age as well as proper identification of gender is highly significant. Therefore, in this work, we have implemented two separate methods with satisfactory runtime and efficiency to estimate both human age and gender using facial images. Our image processing based method involves comparison of some features extracted from the post processed facial images of people of various age ranges followed by some edge-detection procedures, creation of binary masks and evaluation of wrinkle densities. Afterwards, thresholds were set via Na¨ıve Bayes Classification to estimate classes. For the assessment purpose, we developed a database namely BUET facial database, which consists of images of both male and female of diverse ages. For the developed database, our proposed algorithm exhibits 76.3% accuracy in the age group classification while it shows 86.6% accuracy in the gender classification. Apart from BUET facial database, our developed algorithm has also been tested in three other databases and compared its performance with the reported literature for these databases. The mean absolute error is almost below 5.0 for this work, whereas, others exceed 5.0 in most of the cases. Moreover, the proposed algorithm exhibits reasonably good accuracy under different lighting conditions of images as well. Our study would provide further insight into the choice of appropriate features for the efficient and accurate estimation of the age and the gender of a person.

Micraspis yasumatsui Sasaji, 1968: 131 (Holotype male, Kyushu University; Type locality: Bangladesh).— Poorani 2002a: 335; Poorani et al. 2023: 463.
Diagnosis. Length: 6.20 mm; width: 4.50 mm. Form (Fig. 136a) circular, slightly longer than broad, dorsum moderately convex, glabrous. Head and pronotum yellowish-orange, elytra brighter reddish or orange, pronotum with indistinct pale brown markings, elytra usually lacking the black sutural stripe of other Micraspis species, sometimes with a pale brown sutural stripe (Fig. 137a). Male genitalia slightly variable, that of examples from Uttar Pradesh (Fig. 136h–k), Nagaland (Fig. 137b–e) and Tripura (Fig. 137g –i) illustrated here. Female genitalia (Fig. 136e) and spermatheca (Fig. 136f, g) as illustrated.
Distribution. India: Eastern and northeastern regions (Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Odisha, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal); Bangladesh.
Prey/associated habitat. Common on rice and sugarcane in eastern and northeastern India. Collected on banana (label data). Feeds on Aphis gossypii, Myzus persicae and Bemisia tabaci infesting chillies (Gurung et al. 2019).
Seasonal occurrence. Collected during May (West Bengal).
Notes. Sasaji (1968 c) described it from Bangladesh and illustrated the male genitalia. Micraspis shafeei Afroze & Haider, 1998 is most likely to be a synonym of M. yasumatsui as it is described as devoid of pronotal and elytral markings though the illustrations are poor and inconclusive. However, its type material is not traceable and is presumed to be lost. Micraspis yasumatsui has been widely misidentified and reported in Indian literature also as Micraspis crocea (Mulsant), a pale species distributed only in the Philippines.

description: We present a microscopic theory of skyrmions in the monolayer quantum Hall ferromagnet. It is a peculiar feature of the system that the number density and the spin density are entangled intrinsically as dictated by the W$%_{\infty}$ algebra. The skyrmion and antiskyrmion states are constructed as W$_{\infty }$-rotated states of the hole-excited and electron-excited states, respectively. They are spin textures accompanied with density modulation that decreases the Coulomb energy. We calculate their excitation energy as a function of the Zeeman gap and compared the result with experimental data.

description: Methodological approaches to the problem of sustainable urban development have been studied. Comparative studies of the definition of âsustainable development of territoriesâ in the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation and UN-Habitat were carried out. The continuity of the principles in the ESG agenda and the principles of sustainable development of territories and solving social problems in territorial planning documents was noted. The results of the analysis of the functional zoning of the territories of St. Petersburg for the future are presented. The presented data allows us to talk about the sustainable development of the city and the presence of continuity in the sphere of its spatial development.
A fully self-consistent model for solar flares

description: The 'standard solar' flare model collects all physical ingredients identified by multi-wavelength observations of our Sun: magnetic reconnection, fast particle acceleration and the resulting emission at various wavelengths, especially in soft to hard X-ray channels. Its cartoon representation is found throughout textbooks on solar and plasma astrophysics, and guides interpretations of unresolved energetic flaring events on other stars, accretion disks and jets. To date, a fully self-consistent model that reproduces the standard scenario in all its facets is lacking, since this requires the combination of a large scale, multi-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasma description with a realistic fast electron treatment. Here, we demonstrate such a novel combination, where MHD combines with an analytic fast electron model, adjusted to handle time-evolving, reconnecting magnetic fields and particle trapping. This allows to study (1) the role of fast electron deposition in the triggering of chromospheric evaporation flows; (2) the physical mechanisms that generate various hard X-ray sources at chromospheric footpoints or looptops; and (3) the relationship between soft X-ray and hard X-ray fluxes throughout the entire flare loop evolution. For the first time, this self-consistent solar flare model demonstrates the observationally suggested relationship between flux swept out by the hard X-ray footpoint regions, and the actual reconnection rate at the X-point, which is a major unknown in flaring scenarios. We also demonstrate that a looptop hard X-ray source can result from fast electron trapping.

description: In this paper we analyse different strategies used by Italian organic farmers to create value from credence food production. More specifically, we consider the following strategies: participation in policy support programmes (i.e. rural development measures and agro‐environmental schemes), direct marketing (i.e. short‐chains, on‐farm businesses, agro‐tourism), on‐farm processing and being a member of a marketing and/or processing cooperative. We use data from the 2006 Italian FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network) related to 981 organic farmers. To estimate the factors affecting farmers’ strategies and to evaluate them simultaneously we implement a multivariate probit model (MVP). The results could be helpful to implement guidelines for public and private intervention in the next CAP programming period. Allowing for differences in farmers’ goals and their impact on the choice of farming method and strategies is important in a modern competitive scenario.

description: Das vorliegende Papier zeigt, welche Weichen die Politik stellen muss, um den Gebäudebestand bis 2045 klimaneutral zu machen. Im Fokus stehen höhere Effizienzanforderungen für Bestands- und Neubauten, ein schnellerer Ausstieg aus Gas- und Ölheizungen, gleichzeitig aber auch höhere Anreize und bessere Unterstützung für Gebäudebesitzende sowie warmmietenneutrale Sanierungen, um Mietende vor einer Überlastung zu schützen. Dabei müssen bestehende Gebäude so renoviert werden, dass sie ähnlich wie Neubauten kaum noch Energie verbrauchen. Gleichzeitig müssen Heizenergie und Stromversorgung komplett auf erneuerbare Energien umgestellt werden. Zudem muss durch intelligentere Nutzungskonzepte der Anstieg der Gebäudeflächen gebremst werden. Die kommende Legislaturperiode ist somit entscheidend, damit Klimaneutralität im Gebäudesektor bis spätestens 2045 erreicht werden kann. Dieser Zukunftsimpuls schlägt daher ein 14 Maßnahmen umfassendes und konsistentes Politikpaket vor. Neben den oben genannten Maßnahmen des Förderns und Forderns gehören dazu insbesondere klare Vorgaben für eine bessere energetische Sanierung und ein deutliches Ziel für den Ausstieg aus fossilen Gas- und Ölheizungen, die allen Beteiligten Sicherheit geben. Individuelle Sanierungsfahrpläne für alle heute noch nicht effizienten Gebäude bis spätestens 2028 und kommunale Wärmepläne helfen den Gebäudebesitzenden bei der technischen Entwicklung ihrer Gebäude und der Investitionsplanung. Häufig sind es die nicht-monetären Hemmnisse, die maßgeblich für die geringe Sanierungsrate sind. One-Stop-Shops verringern die Hemmschwelle Maßnahmen umzusetzen. Darüber hinaus wirkt Quartiersmanagement unterstützend und hilft Kräfte zu bündeln.

description: In this paper we present results from a study on the use of improved coffee production technology schemes among smallholder coffee producers in three prominent coffee producing regions in Honduras. We analyze the impact of various schemes (trajectories) in which different agents influence the producers’ decision to use new technologies. In particular, we distinguish the influence of a) private coffee buying organizations and b) government and public development agencies on the innovation behavior of coffee growers. Drawing from network data that depict the internal and outbound connectedness of producers in three village communities in main coffee producing zones in Honduras, we applied tools of social network analysis to find out how interactions with certain agents, separately and cumulatively, has influenced their use of improved methods in coffee production and marketing. The results suggest that there are significant differences in the way that various providers of knowledge and technology, especially private buyers and development agencies, influence the farmers’ behavior towards innovation. The influence of buyers, according to our data, is focused on certification and quality aspects, whereas development agents focus on improved agronomic practices. We also find that farmers who communicate with the extension branch of input providers tend to be more innovative. These results suggest that development programs should take more seriously into account the role of private actors in innovation among agricultural producers and, hence, design development programs in such a way to allow for collaboration with these agents.

Application of foreign rules and local constraints : a case study of the environmental impact assessment in the Pudong New Area, China
Creators: name: Gravel, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Rapid increases in environmental problems have been observed in China since the beginning of the economic reforms in 1978. Numerous policy mechanisms have been implemented in order to control the pollution levels nationwide. The objective of this research is to evaluate the efficiency of one pollution prevention policy process, the Environmental Impact Assessment, in one of the most economically dynamic areas of China, the Pudong New Area in Shanghai. The Environmental Impact Assessment was selected because it is a pollution prevention planning tool that has been widely used in developed countries for over thirty years, and in China for over 20 years. The enactment in 2002 of the People's Republic of China Environmental Impact Assessment Law has reinforced the status of the Environmental Impact Assessment. Its implementation and enforcement in a developing country were seen as an interesting example of selective adaptation, where foreign rules are balanced with local norms. The investigation method combined a literature review and on-site data collection. Data collection combined quantitative data collection about Environmental Impact Assessment numbers and qualitative data from interviews. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals involved at different levels with the Environmental Impact Assessment. Interviews gave detailed information about the different steps of the Environmental Impact Assessment process, which led to the identification of the constraints in the process. Results from the interviews show there are several problems limiting the efficiency of the Environmental Impact Assessment in preventing pollution. These include a narrow focus on pollution, limited public participation, and a lack of enforcement and monitoring, a result of financial and human resources constraints in the local Environmental Protection Bureaus. It is argued that these are part of wider institutional constraints in the environmental protection system in China, and that the implementation of the People's Republic of China Environmental Impact Assessment Law is highly dependent on how these issues will be resolved.

description: Economies of scale are present in soybean production. In Brazil, the two largest producing regions have properties with different dimensions. In particular, the average size of properties in the South is much smaller than those in the country´s Mid‐West region. This study analyzes the characteristics that favor small‐scale soybean‐producing properties in the country’s Southern region. Its theoretical framework is based on the Neoclassical theory and in Transaction Cost Economics. Questionnaires were applied to producers from the State of Rio Grande do Sul. A regression analysis shows the relation between the selected factors and property size. Results show that a greater use of labor, particularly of family employees, and the greater diversity of crops contribute to explain the existence of small soybean properties in South Brazil.

description: Agri‐food companies increasingly participate in demand‐driven supply chains that are able to adapt flexibly to changes in the marketplace. The objective of this presentation is to discuss a process modelling framework, which enhances the interoperability and agility of information systems as required in such dynamic supply chains. The designed framework consists of two parts: an object system definition and a modelling toolbox. The object system definition provides a conceptual definition of business process in demand‐driven supply chains from a systems perspective. It includes an application of the Viable Systems Model of Stafford Beer to supply chains, and classifications of business processes, control systems and coordination mechanisms. The modelling toolbox builds on the terminology and process definitions of SCOR and identifies three types of process models: i) Product Flow Models: visualize the allocation of basic transformations to supply chain actors and the related product flows from input material into end products (including different traceability units based on the GS1 Global Traceability Standard); ii) Thread Diagrams: visualize how order‐driven and forecast‐driven processes are decoupled in specific supply chain configurations (positions Customer Order Decoupling Points), and how interdependences between processes are coordinated; iii) Business Process Diagrams: depict the sequence and interaction of control and coordination activities (as identified in Thread Diagrams) in BPMN notation. The framework is applied to several agri‐food sectors, in particular potted plants and fruit supply chains. The main benefits are: i) It helps to map supply chain processes, including its control and coordination, in a timely, punctual and coherent way; ii) It supports a seamless translation of high‐level supply chain designs to detailed information engineering models; iii) It enables rapid instantiation of various supply chain configurations (instead of dictating a single blueprint); iv) It combines sector‐specific knowledge with reuse of knowledge provided by generic cross‐industry standards (SCOR, GS1).

description: In the absence of reliable a priori information, choosing the appropriate theoretical model to describe an industry’s behavior is a critical issue for empirical studies about market power. A wrong choice may result in model misspecification and the conclusions of the empirical analysis may be driven by the wrong assumption about the behavioral model. This paper develops a methodology aimed to reduce the risk of misspecification bias. The approach is based on the sequential application of a sliced inverse regression (SIR) and a nonparametric Nadaraya‐Watson regression (NW). The SIR‐NW algorithm identifies the factors affecting pricing behavior in an industry and provides a nonparametric characterization of the function linking these variables to price. This information may be used to guide the choice of the model specification for a parametric estimation of market power. The SIR‐NW algorithm is designed to complement the estimation of structural models of market behavior, rather than to replace it. The value of this methodology for empirical industrial organization studies lies in its data‐driven approach that does not rely on prior knowledge of the industry. The method reverses the usual hypothesis‐testing approach. Instead of first choosing the model based on a priori information and then testing if it is compatible with the data, the econometrician selects a theoretical model based on the observed data. Thus, the methodology is particularly suited for those cases where the researcher has no a priori information about the behavioral model, or little confidence in the information that is available .
Mesoscopic theory for size- and charge- asymmetric ionic systems. I. Case of extreme asymmetry

description: A mesoscopic theory for the primitive model of ionic systems is developed for arbitrary size, $λ=σ_+/σ_-$, and charge, $Z=e_+/|e_-|$, asymmetry. Our theory is an extension of the theory we developed earlier for the restricted primitive model. The case of extreme asymmetries $λ\to\infty$ and $Z \to\infty$ is studied in some detail in a mean-field approximation. The phase diagram and correlation functions are obtained in the asymptotic regime $λ\to\infty$ and $Z \to\infty$, and for infinite dilution of the larger ions (volume fraction $n_p\sim 1/Z$ or less). We find a coexistence between a very dilute 'gas' phase and a crystalline phase in which the macroions form a bcc structure with the lattice constant $\approx 3.6σ_+$. Such coexistence was observed experimentally in deionized aqueous solutions of highly charged colloidal particles.
The Holonomy Groupoids of Singularly Foliated Bundles

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: We define a notion of connection in a fibre bundle that is compatible with a singular foliation of the base. Fibre bundles equipped with such connections are in plentiful supply, arising naturally for any Lie groupoid-equivariant bundle, and simultaneously generalising regularly foliated bundles in the sense of Kamber-Tondeur and singular foliations. We define hierarchies of diffeological holonomy groupoids associated to such bundles, which arise from the parallel transport of jet/germinal conservation laws. We show that the groupoids associated in this manner to trivial singularly foliated bundles are quotients of Androulidakis-Skandalis holonomy groupoids, which coincide with Androulidakis-Skandalis holonomy groupoids in the regular case. Finally we prove functoriality of all our constructions under appropriate morphisms.

System size dependence of strange particle yields and spectra at sqrt(s)=17.3 GeV

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: Yields and spectra of strange hadrons (K+, K-, phi, Lambda and Antilambda) as well as of charged pions were measured in near central C+C and Si+Si collisions at 158 AGeV beam energy with the NA49 detector. Together with earlier data for p+p, S+S and Pb+Pb reactions the system size dependence can be studied. Relative strangeness production rises fast and saturates at about 60 participating nucleons; the net hyperon spectra show an increasing shift towards midrapidity for larger colliding nuclei. An interpretation based on the formation of coherent systems of increasing volume is proposed. The transverse mass spectra can be described by a blast wave ansatz. Increasing flow velocity is accompanied by decreasing temperatures for both kinetic and chemical freeze out. The increasing gap between inelastic and elastic decoupling leaves space for rescattering.

description: The debate about the governance of complex systems of production represents a rich branch of the literature of applied organization theory. The particular application to agro‐related networks is a relevant example since agriculture plays new roles in modern society. The core of the analysis is centered in the rationale for allocation of residual decision rights and distribution of the rights regarding the value created. Contributions based in transaction cost economics, resource‐based view, dynamic competences, and incomplete contract theory explore different dimensions related to the allocation of property rights. The question of how joint strategies are defined, and how value added (or subtracted) is shared among network players is still relevant. Indeed, the questions of how residual decision rights are defined and how residual rewards of resources applied in production are shared are relevant for the modern theory of organizations in general. Most of the traditional literature considers the transaction as the unit of analysis, following the tradition of the alignment hypothesis proposed by Williamson (1996). Hence the literature as developed so far deals with two limitations. First, the dyadic perspective, which narrows a complex and multidimensional task down to two actors, one transaction, and a choice of internal or contractual mechanisms of coordination. Second, the traditional perspective places its attention on the existing value, whether real or potential, that can be revealed by choosing the efficient mechanism of allocation of authority. This is only part of a larger and more complex frame, where value generation becomes a central question.
