description: This study analyzes the transmission of systematic risk exhaling from macroeconomic fundamentals to volatility of stock market by using auto regressive generalized auto regressive conditional heteroskedastic (AR-GARCH) and vector auto regressive (VAR) models. Systematic risk factors used in this study are industrial production, real interest rate, inflation, money supply and exchange rate from 2000-2014. Results indicate that there exists relationship among the volatility of macroeconomic factors and that of stock returns in Pakistan. The relationship among the volatility of macroeconomic variables and that of stock returns is bidirectional; both affect each other in different dynamics.

description: Our task in the UBC food systems project was to suggest implementation strategies to enhance food sustainability in the residential area of UBC’s proposed University Boulevard Neighbourhood. UBC’s current expansion plans give us the opportunity to showcase a model of urban agriculture that can influence greater communities. Through an analysis of the plans that guide development at UBC, we saw many opportunities to enhance food system sustainability in the new area. An analysis of the current development processes, however, saw constraints that could hinder student attempts to make recommendations to the project that would be taken seriously. As a basis for our recommendations, we looked at two eco-villages, and concepts of permaculture design. From this, we developed a strategy to enhance food sustainability within the residences of UBN, through rooftop gardens integrated with residential commons space. We concluded with recommendations that UBC Campus and Community Planning develop standards and a framework to implement some of our proposed ideas. We recommended that next year’s AGSC 450 class for them to work with development stakeholders to develop an action plan, but also to develop indicators of food sustainable planning. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Uruguay's capital markets remain undeveloped despite the country's financial liberalization dating back to the 1970s, which was reinforced by passage of several additional laws in 1990s whose aim was to promote the local financial markets. The government is able to raise funds domestically in what is a liquid bond market, but private firms continue to fund themselves mostly out of retained earnings or else via bank loans and suppliers' credit. Moreover, when compared to others in Latin America, Uruguayan firms feature the highest ratios of liability dollarization, and corporate debt structures with the shortest maturities - currency and maturity mismatches that render them (and by extension, their creditors) extremely fragile. A deepening of the domestic capital market would probably alleviate this vulnerability of the Uruguayan economy. The financial fragility of Uruguayan firms amplified by corporate governance issues are the main impediments for the development of the capital markets. Given the current firm practices and the absence of sizeable institutional investors besides the Pension funds, the fixed income market will most likely remain a source of funding for very few firms.

description: We examine auditor independence in the banking industry by analyzing the relation between fees paid to the auditors and the extent of earnings management through loan loss provisions (LLP). We also examine whether this relation differs across large banks whose managements are required under the FDIC Improvement Act to evaluate the internal control over financial reporting and whose auditors must attest to the report on the effectiveness of such internal controls, and small banks that are not subject to such controls. Our results indicate that unexpected auditor fees are unrelated to earnings management for large banks. For small banks, we find a strong negative association between income-increasing (negative) abnormal LLP and both unexpected total and nonaudit fees. These results suggest that auditor fee dependence on the audit client is associated with earnings management via abnormal LLP and may be a threat to auditor independence for small banks. Our findings are relevant to policymakers who are contemplating new regulations in light of the recent banking crisis.

description: The ac response of self-sustained current oscillations (SSCOs) in GaAs/AlAs superlattices (SLs) is derived based on the deformation of a limit cycle under an external ac driving force. Frequency locking into an integer fraction of the ac frequency is obtained in a periodic response in which a limit cycle deforms either with or without a topological change. This frequency locking is robust against the ac bias because a limit cycle can adjust itself. The results are verified both numerically and experimentally, indicating that SSCOs in SLs can be understood within the framework of the general concepts and principles of nonlinear physics.

description: The integration of a high share of solar photovoltaics (PV) in distribution networks requires advanced voltage control technologies or network augmentation, both associated with significant investment costs. An alternative is to prevent new customers from installing solar PV systems, but this is against the common goal of increasing renewable energy generation. This paper demonstrates that solar PV curtailment in low voltage areas can be reduced and fairly distributed among PV owners by centrally coordinating the operation of PV inverters. The optimal inverter active and reactive power operation points are computed by solving a multi-objective optimization problem with a fairness objective. The main results show that fair optimal inverter dispatch (FOID) results in less power curtailment than passive voltage regulation based on Volt/VAr droop control, especially at high solar PV to load ratios. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated on a residential low voltage network.

description: This report offers new information about the accuracy of employee headcounts and sales data in the National Establishment Time Series (NETS) Database—which provides time-series data on establishments across all sectors, including grocery stores and food service outlets. NETS is frequently and increasingly being used by researchers to answer questions of policy relevance about the dynamics of the food environment at a more localized level. Therefore, it is important to better understand how NETS food retail and service sectors compare relative to similar Federal datasets. This report compares NETS employment headcount with the County Business Patterns (CBP) at the national and State levels from 1998 to 2016 and compares NETS sales with the Food Expenditure Series (FES) at the national level from 1998 to 2019. Findings show that NETS captures similar employment patterns and trends as the CBP at both the national and State levels for most of the food retail and food service sectors. In addition, this report develops a method and presents newly estimated NETS sales numbers that have similar patterns and trends as the FES, enabling researchers to more accurately study food sales at a more localized level.

description: We analyze a set of Type I X-ray bursts from the low mass X-ray binary 4U 1728 -34, observed with Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). and we implement an analytical model of X-ray spectral formation in the neutron star (NS) atmosphere during a burst. We infer the dependence of the neutron star mass and radius with respect to the assumed distance to the system using an analytical model of X-ray burst spectral formation. The model behavior clearly indicates that the burster atmosphere is helium-dominated. Our results strongly favor the soft equation of state (EOS) of NS for 4U 1728-34. We find that distance to the source should be within 4.5-5.0 kpc range. We obtain rather narrow constrains for the NS radius in 8.7-9.7 km range and interval 1.2-1.6 solar masses for NS mass for this particular distance range. We uncover a temporal behavior of red-shift corrected burst flux for the radial expansion episodes and we put forth a dynamical evolution scenario for the NS--accretion disk geometry during which an expanded envelope affects the accretion disk and increases the area of the neutron star exposed to the Earth observer. Our scenario enables us to explain the timing characteristics and peak flux variation observed during the burst expansion stage, which is now believed to be common phenomenon. In the framework of this scenario we provide a new method for the estimation of the inclination angle which leads to the value of 50 degrees for 4U 1728-34 .

description: We study the behavior of the two plane waves configuration in the LOFF phase close to T=0. The study is performed by using a Landau-Ginzburg expansion up to the eighth order in the gap. The general study of the corresponding grand potential shows, under the assumption that the eighth term in the expansion is strictly positive, the existence of two tricritical lines. This allows to understand the existence of a second tricritical point for two antipodal plane waves in the LOFF phase and justifies why the transition becomes second order at zero temperature. The general analysis done in this paper can be applied to other cases.

description: In its recent White Paper on Employment and Growth, the Australian Government announced a comprehensive new agenda to supplement its existing employment policies. It includes the following major elements: • reforms to labour market assistance; • training and education reforms; • a reconstructed social security system; • a regional strategy; • workplace agreements; and • microeconomic reforms. An important consideration in the implementation of such a multifaceted policy program is that its various elements are not independent of each other. While the Government has been at pains to ensure that the program is coherent in a qualitative sense, Its quantitative assessment of the interdependencies between the program's elements has been limited. In this paper, we consider some of the issues associated with coordinating policies for human resources development, using the White Paper and the National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Strategy to provide a context for the discussion. In particular, we review the role of the MONASH forecasting system as a vehicle for coordinating the training plans of decentralised advisory bodies within the National VET Strategy. We also describe how the system can be used to delineate interdependencies in the Government's program, and include a quantitative assessment of effects of proposed microeconomic reforms on the demand for labour in particular occupations.

description: This paper examines whether book-tax differences help explain audit fees. By attesting to the fair representation of financial information, auditors are an important intermediary in financial statement users’ trust and understanding of financial information. Our evidence that large booktax differences are associated with higher audit fees implies that such book-tax differences represent an observable proxy for earnings quality that affects auditor decisions. Our paper contributes to existing capital market research that examines audit fees and the research that examines market participants’ use of the information in book-tax differences.

description: We provide simple criteria and algorithms for expressing homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers of independent linear forms, or equivalently, for decomposing symmetric tensors into sums of rank-1 symmetric tensors of linearly independent vectors. The criteria rely on two facets of higher degree forms, namely Harrison's algebraic theory and some algebro-geometric properties. The proposed algorithms are elementary and based purely on solving linear and quadratic equations. Moreover, as a byproduct of our criteria and algorithms one can easily decide whether or not a homogeneous polynomial or symmetric tensor is orthogonally or unitarily decomposable.

description: We propose two loading mechanisms of a degenerate Bose gas into a surface trap. This trap relies on the dipole potential produced by two evanescent optical waves far detuned from the atomic resonance, yielding a strongly anisotropic trap with typical frequencies 40 Hz x 65 Hz x 30 kHz. We present numerical simulations based on the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation of the transfer process from a conventional magnetic trap into the surface trap. We show that, despite a large discrepancy between the oscillation frequencies along one direction in the initial and final traps, a loading time of a few tens of milliseconds would lead to an adiabatic transfer. Preliminary experimental results are presented.

description: A number of recent papers have examined measures of intra-industry trade (IIT) and related indicators such as matched and unmatched changes in trade (MCIT and UCIT) as indicators of adjustment costs associated with trade expansion or contraction. We make three contributions to this literature. First, we clarify what is meant by adjustment costs in the context of these IIT-related measures. Second, we present new measures of MCIT and UCIT. Third, we compare our measures with existing measures using some simple numerical examples and data on Irish chemicals trade. We find that previous IIT-related measures tend to overestimate the extent of MCIT, and underestimate UCIT. We also find that the extent of the bias in these measures can be substantial. Thus, they are unreliable as indicators of adjustment costs. Our measures overcome these limitations.

description: This paper examines whether book-tax differences help explain audit fees. By attesting to the fair representation of financial information, auditors are an important intermediary in financial statement users’ trust and understanding of financial information. Our evidence that large booktax differences are associated with higher audit fees implies that such book-tax differences represent an observable proxy for earnings quality that affects auditor decisions. Our paper contributes to existing capital market research that examines audit fees and the research that examines market participants’ use of the information in book-tax differences.

description: Designing efficient traffic lanes for pedestrians is a critical aspect of urban planning as walking remains the most common form of mobility among the increasingly diverse methods of transportation. Herein, we investigate pedestrian counter flows in a straight corridor, in which two groups of people are walking in opposite directions. We demonstrate, using a molecular dynamics approach applying the social force model, that a simple array of obstacles improves flow rates by producing flow separations even in crowded situations. We also report on a developed model describing the separation behavior that regards an array of obstacles as a membrane and induces spontaneous separation of pedestrians groups. When appropriately designed, those obstacles are fully capable of controlling the filtering direction so that pedestrians tend to keep moving to their left (or right) spontaneously. These results have the potential to provide useful guidelines for industrial designs aimed at improving ubiquitous human mobility.

description: Since the onset of the industrial revolution, humanity has witnessed drastic changes to our agricultural systems alongside an unprecedented fusion of economies, cultures and politics. The world is becoming increasingly interconnected, yet the connections between people and places are dissolving, along with the sense of community that once imbued local food production chains from field to plate.

subject: Australian H.E.S. data

description: The application of compositional data analysis methods in economics has some attraction. In particular, this methodology ensures that the stochastic component of budget share models will satisfy the restriction of shares to the unit simplex. The methodology relies upon the use of "log-ratios" in the statistical analysis. Such an approach is not possible when the data to be analyzed includes observations where the observed budget share is zero. We, therefore, extend the methods of compositional data analysis to the situation where the data to be analyzed includes observations where the observed budget share is zero. The modified compositional data methods are discussed both in statistical terms and through potential economic interpretations of the method. Further, the modified methodology is applied to the 1988 Australian Household Expenditure Survey yielding estimates for a system of Engel curves.

Year: 1997
Subjects: Labor and Human Capital

description: This paper contributes data about women and part-time employment in Australia. "Part-time" is defined as one or more, but less than thirty-five hours per week. Findings from a survey conducted throughout the City of Waverley, Melbourne (1977) are given against a background of similar data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (1977-1996) and the Women and Employment Survey of Great Britain (1980). Aspects of part-time employment are reported for part-time working women and for women who had no paid work, but "would... like to work part-time now". These aspects include range of hours, pattern and number of hours by school level of youngest child, number of weekdays worked, trade union membership, casual work, travel time to work, work at home, employment benefits (including promotion) and work preferences.

Creating 'a simple tribute to a young man's memory': memorialising James Robert Phillips (1863-1897)
Creators: name: David, Rob G
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2022

description: Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, 21, 282-289
description: James Robert Phillips, a Cumbrian by birth, was killed leading an embassy to Benin City in 1897. The fate of his entourage led to the Benin 'punitive expedition' and the subsequent sack of Benin City. Phillips's death was followed by the raising of funds for memorials in England and West Africa. Committees were established for that purpose in Cumbria and London and included old boys from Uppingham School where he had been educated. One of these was Canon H.D. Rawnsley who was a key figure in memorialising Phillips and celebrating his role in Britain's 'civilising mission' in West Africa. Cumbria's memorial is now located in Carlisle Cathedral.

description: Previous methods for the evaluation of the exfoliation of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have drawbacks in computational efficiency and are unable to describe cases with semi-infinite substrates. Based on a Green's function surface (GFS) model, here we develop a new approach to efficiently determine the tendency of exfoliation of 2D materials from their bulk crystals or semi-infinite substrates. By constructing appropriate surface configurations, we may calculate the exfoliation energy more precisely and quickly than the traditional way with the slab model. Furthermore, the GFS approach can provide angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of surface systems for direct comparison with experimental data. Our findings indicate that the GFS approach is powerful for studies of 2D materials and various surface problems.

subject: real output measures for education

description: This paper attempts to estimate the change in total factor productivity (TFP) in total education services provided in Australia, between 1986/87 and 1993/94. A simple model is developed and calibrated using Australian data. TFP is estimated to have fallen by between 16 and 26 per cent depending on what is assumed about the behaviour of average quality over this period.

Productivity Analysis

description: This paper examines the current national accounts measure of real output for five major service industries in Australia. It finds that real output measures for insurance services; banking services; non-bank financial services; and education services are unsatisfactory. Alternative estimates based on acceptable output proxies are presented for these industries for the period 1986/87-1993/94. The estimates indicate that insurance, banking and non-bank financial services have grown more quickly than previously thought, while education services have grown less quickly than earlier estimates suggested. The effect on GDP of these estimates is also presented. Keywords: insurance services, financial services, education services, communication services, service industries, real output measures, input output industries.
Gamma-rays and cosmic-rays from a pulsar in Cygnus OB2
Creators: name: Bednarek, W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We argue that gamma-rays sources observed in the direction of the Cyg OB2 association in the GeV and TeV energy range are due to a pulsar which was created by a supernova a few tens of thousands years ago. The excess of cosmic rays at 10^18 eV can be also related to the appearance of this pulsar.
