description: A proposta deste ensaio é apresentar uma discussão das transformações estruturais e institucionais da agricultura brasileira no período de reformulação do padrão de intervenção pública no setor agrícola, quando se passou de forte coordenação, para um cenário de desregulamentação e esvaziamento das funções do setor público, com maior participação da iniciativa privada na regulação do processo produtivo. Na primeira parte é feita uma síntese do contexto de crise e reforma na base da política agrícola, definindo um novo ambiente institucional influenciado pelas questões de redução das barreiras às importações e formação de blocos econômicos regionais. Na segunda parte apresenta-se uma visão mais detalhada das mudanças nos instrumentos tradicionais de política agrícola, crédito preferencial e garantia de preços, fundamentalmente a redução da participação do setor público e o crescimento da participação do mercado. -------------------------------------------------------The proposal of this rehearsal is to present a discussion of the structural and institutional transformations of the Brazilian agriculture in the period of reformulation of the pattern of public intervention in the agricultural section, when happened of strong coordination Rio Branco – Acre, 20 a 23 de julho de 2008 Sociedade Brasileira de Economia, Administração e Sociologia Rural for a deregulation scenery and emptying of the functions of the public section, with larger participation of the private initiative in the regulation of the productive process.

description: Recently, deep learning has made significant progress in the task of sequential recommendation. Existing neural sequential recommenders typically adopt a generative way trained with Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). When context information (called factor) is involved, it is difficult to analyze when and how each individual factor would affect the final recommendation performance. For this purpose, we take a new perspective and introduce adversarial learning to sequential recommendation. In this paper, we present a Multi-Factor Generative Adversarial Network (MFGAN) for explicitly modeling the effect of context information on sequential recommendation. Specifically, our proposed MFGAN has two kinds of modules: a Transformer-based generator taking user behavior sequences as input to recommend the possible next items, and multiple factor-specific discriminators to evaluate the generated sub-sequence from the perspectives of different factors. To learn the parameters, we adopt the classic policy gradient method, and utilize the reward signal of discriminators for guiding the learning of the generator. Our framework is flexible to incorporate multiple kinds of factor information, and is able to trace how each factor contributes to the recommendation decision over time. Extensive experiments conducted on three real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of our proposed model over the state-of-the-art methods, in terms of effectiveness and interpretability.

description: By measuring and testing integrated circuits, quality and functionality can already be determined during and after the production. But with ever increasing demands, such as cost or efficiency, the complexity and density of the circuits is also increasing. This leads to ever smaller structures and contact pads, that pose challenges to the measurements. As a result, a more accurate alignment between the measurement probe to the investigated circuit is necessary. Currently, testing is achieved utilizing manual probing stations, where the alignment is usually done by a human. Due to bad reproducibility and slow execution, automation of this process is proposed in this work. To this end, a vision guided alignment system is implemented and its accuracy is evaluated. Various machine-vision techniques for spatial detection of the objects position, such as the probes tip and the samples contact pad, are implemented and compared. The images are acquired utilizing a camera and an objective lens. To measure the vertical positions, the focus of this optical system is adjusted with the usage of focusing algorithms. The method "Tenenbaum variance" shows the best performance. The horizontal position of the objects is measured using "Template matching". After the measurement of the spatial positions, alignment is achieved by controlling positioning stages. Algorithms to accelerate the alignment process, as well as methods to increase the robustness are presented and compared. Since the determination of the positioning accuracy with usual probes is not possible, an atomic force microscope utilizing a piezoresistive cantilever is implemented. This offers the possibility of performing a scan after the completed alignment, thereby determining the spatial offset. The achieved positioning accuracy in vertical and horizontal direction are 880nm and 490 nm, respectively. The average duration for the alignment process is 48 s. Limits, such as the objective lenses depth of field and magnification as well as the cameras resolution, result from a trade-off between accuracy, execution speed and ease of implementation.

description: We propose and study a specific gauge theory dual of the smooth, non-supersymmetric (and apparently stable) Janus solution of Type IIB supergravity found in hep-th/0304129. The dual field theory is N=4 SYM theory on two half-spaces separated by a planar interface with different coupling constants in each half-space. We assume that the position dependent coupling multiplies the operator L' which is the fourth descendent of the primary Tr(X^I X^J) and closely related to the N=4 Lagrangian density. At the classical level supersymmetry is broken explicitly, but SO(3,2) conformal symmetry is preserved. We use conformal perturbation theory to study various correlation functions to first and second order in the discontinuity of g^2_{YM}, confirming quantum level conformal symmetry. Certain quantities such as the vacuum expectation value are protected to all orders in g^2_{YM}N, and we find perfect agreement between the weak coupling value in the gauge theory and the strong coupling gravity result. SO(3,2) symmetry requires vanishing vacuum energy, =0, and this is confirmed in first order in the discontinuity.

description: Meta reinforcement learning (meta-RL) extracts knowledge from previous tasks and achieves fast adaptation to new tasks. Despite recent progress, efficient exploration in meta-RL remains a key challenge in sparse-reward tasks, as it requires quickly finding informative task-relevant experiences in both meta-training and adaptation. To address this challenge, we explicitly model an exploration policy learning problem for meta-RL, which is separated from exploitation policy learning, and introduce a novel empowerment-driven exploration objective, which aims to maximize information gain for task identification. We derive a corresponding intrinsic reward and develop a new off-policy meta-RL framework, which efficiently learns separate context-aware exploration and exploitation policies by sharing the knowledge of task inference. Experimental evaluation shows that our meta-RL method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines on various sparse-reward MuJoCo locomotion tasks and more complex sparse-reward Meta-World tasks.

description: The LiDAR Statistical Barnes Objective Analysis (LiSBOA), presented in Letizia et al., is a procedure for the optimal design of LiDAR scans and calculation over a Cartesian grid of the statistical moments of the velocity field. The LiSBOA is applied to LiDAR data collected in the wake of wind turbines to reconstruct mean and turbulence intensity of the wind velocity field. The proposed procedure is firstly tested for a numerical dataset obtained by means of the virtual LiDAR technique applied to the data obtained from a large eddy simulation (LES). The optimal sampling parameters for a scanning Doppler pulsed wind LiDAR are retrieved from the LiSBOA, then the estimated statistics are calculated showing a maximum error of about 4% for both the normalized mean velocity and the turbulence intensity. Subsequently, LiDAR data collected during a field campaign conducted at a wind farm in complex terrain are analyzed through the LiSBOA for two different configurations. In the first case, the wake velocity fields of four utility-scale turbines are reconstructed on a 3D grid, showing the capability of the LiSBOA to capture complex flow features, such as high-speed jet around the nacelle and the wake turbulent shear layers. For the second case, the statistics of the wakes generated by four interacting turbines are calculated over a 2D Cartesian grid and compared to the measurements provided by the nacelle-mounted anemometers. Maximum discrepancies as low as 3% for the normalized mean velocity and turbulence intensity endorse the application of the LiSBOA for LiDAR-based wind resource assessment and diagnostic surveys for wind farms.

Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a distribuição dos custos e receitas inerentes ao cultivo de soja e algodão no estado do Goiás na safra 2006/07. Os dados foram obtidos em reuniões com produtores agrícolas de três diferentes regiões do Estado. De maneira geral, foi possível verificar uma grande concentração de vencimentos de contratos em meses como março e abril, período referente ao pagamento dos defensivos agrícolas, e no mês de setembro, época onde são realizados os pagamentos de fertilizantes, levando a um déficit acentuando no caixa das propriedades nesses períodos específicos.------------------------------------------------------------------------------Analyzing entries and payments of a farm has for objective to evaluate periods which will happen the highest cash entries and months where will have the bigger withdraws, allowing a better plan during the year of the commodities sales and payment of production costs.

description: We present results of deep, high velocity resolution ($\sim$1.6 kms$^{-1}$) Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI 21 cm-line observations of a sample of extremely faint (M$_B>-$12.5) dwarf irregular galaxies. Unlike previous studies, we find large scale velocity gradients in even the faintest galaxies of our sample i.e. their velocity fields are not "chaotic". For some of our sample galaxies, where the velocity fields are in fact completely consistent with ordered rotation, we derive rotation curves and determine the structure of the dark matter halos of the galaxies from mass modeling, using the "asymmetric drift" corrected rotation velocities. Finally, we compile from literature a sample of galaxies with known dark matter distribution, estimated from HI synthesis observations, and discuss the results and their implications for hierarchical galaxy formation models.

Com base em dados de 5.425 municípios, foram empregadas técnicas de análise exploratória de dados espaciais e de estimação de modelos econométricos espaciais. Dentre os resultados obtidos, pode-se destacar três: 1) existem grandes disparidades municipais relacionadas com os rendimentos individuais; 2) a análise exploratória de dados espaciais indicou a existência de dependência espacial envolvendo a renda per capita média dos municípios; e 3) os modelos econométricos estimados evidenciaram que, variações relacionadas com escolaridade, nível de emprego, desempenho dos setores econômicos e arrecadação tributária tendem a resultar em variações significativas, e de mesmo sentido, na renda per capita municipal.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------In Brazil, there are great heterogeneities regarding the per capita income. Thus, we used data from 5.425 Brazilian Counties to study important determinant aspects of formation of municipal per capita income. Exploratory spatial data analysis and spatial regression modeling were the techniques applied in this work. As main results, we can emphasize three: 1) there are great municipal disparities regarding the individual incomes; 2) the exploratory spatial data analysis indicated the existence of spatial dependence with respect to the average municipal per capita income; and 3) the spatial regression models showed that variations regarding the education, job level, performance of the economic sectors and tax revenue tend to result in significant variations, in the same sense, on the municipal per capita income.

description: Analytical phase demodulation algorithms in optical interferometry typically fail to reach the theoretical sensitivity limit set by the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB). We show that deep neural networks (DNNs) can perform efficient phase demodulation by achieving or exceeding the CRB by significant margins when trained with new information that is not utilized by conventional algorithms, such as noise statistics and parameter constraints. As an example, we developed and applied DNNs to wavelength shifting interferometry. When trained with noise statistics, the DNNs outperform the conventional algorithm in terms of phase sensitivity and achieve the traditional three parameter CRB. Further, by incorporating parameter constraints into the training sets, they can exceed the traditional CRB. For well confined parameters, the phase sensitivity of the DNNs can even approach a fundamental limit we refer to as the single parameter CRB. Such sensitivity improvement can translate into significant increase in single-to-noise ratio without hardware modification, or be used to relax hardware requirements.

A possible way to incorporate global warming/climate change considerations overtly in Georgia Basin quest output
Creators: name: Long, Victoria Elizabeth.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Georgia Basin QUEST is a computer-based scenario generation and evaluation system designed to encourage thinking about sustainability in a regional context. Global warming/ climate change is an important public policy issue for every world citizen especially for those who contribute much more to the causes, like the residents of the Canadian side of the Georgia Basin in British Columbia. Through QUEST users explore different possible scenarios of the region's future by selecting a Worldview to characterize the global future as well as particulars in many categories that are pivotal in forging sustainable lifestyles locally. Strategic choices in these categories, which include land use, transportation, energy, waste, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, also affect the average regional citizen's greenhouse gas emissions both directly and indirectly. Could there be a way to interweave informative material about global warming/ climate change in with the piecewise linear graph QUEST produces showing greenhouse gas emissions decade by decade in a user's scenario? Since there is a time lag between emissions and impacts in climate change processes that is longer than the 40-year time frame QUEST offers users to build their future scenario, it is impossible to offer the opportunity to express preferences about global warming/ climate change considerations and link output directly with those choices as is done in the other QUEST categories. However, this thesis proposes to use the remaining 'real estate,' three-quarters of a single output computer screen for global warming-related material by accompanying the graph showing greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the user's choices with graphs or text dealing with climate change impacts, adaptation or mitigation. Categories the user has emphasized in scenario construction would be highlighted and the slant could be keyed to the chosen Worldview. It argues that the issue is too important to sustainability efforts to overlook.

description: We address the construction of transition operators for electromagnetic, weak, and hadronic reactions of relativistic few-quark systems along the spectator model. While the problem is of relevance for all forms of relativistic quantum mechanics, we specifically adhere to the point form, since it preserves the spectator character of the corresponding transition operators in any reference frame. The conditions imposed on the construction of point-form spectator-model operators are discussed and their implications are exemplified for mesonic decays of baryon resonances within a relativistic constituent quark model.

description: The Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem is a fundamental theorem on the realization of chiral fermions in static lattice systems in high-energy and condensed matter physics. Here we extend the theorem in dynamical systems, which include the original Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem in the static limit. In contrast to the original theorem, which is a no-go theorem for bulk chiral fermions, the new theorem permits them due to bulk topology intrinsic to dynamical systems. The theorem is based on duality enabling a unified treatment of periodically driven systems and non-Hermitian ones. We also present the extended theorem for non-chiral gapless fermions protected by symmetry. Finally, as an application of our theorem and duality, we predict a new type of chiral magnetic effect -- the non-Hermitian chiral magnetic skin effect.

L’informatrice précise que le colostrum est bénéfique pour l’enfant et que l’allaitement est préférable au biberon. L’informatrice explique que le colostrum est présent chez toutes les femmes qui accouchent, comme chez les animaux. L’informatrice ne sait pas ce que préconisent les préceptes coraniques au sujet de l’allaitement mais elle est persuadée que l’allaitement maternel est meilleur pour la santé que le lait en poudre. Les frères et sœurs de lait liés par le colostrum sont évoqués par l’informatrice, qui précise les différents moyens d’établir ce lien de fraternité. L’informatrice confie que pour favoriser la montée du colostrum, elle a consommé des graines médicinales, entre autres du pollen de palmier. L’informatrice évoque ensuite les premiers soins qui sont donnés au nouveau-né. La reprise des rapports sexuels pendant la période d’allaitement est évoquée. L’informatrice précise que les rapports peuvent être repris seulement quarante jours après la naissance. La mortalité infantile est rapidement abordée. À la fin de l’enquête, l’enquêtrice pose des questions sur le don du colostrum d’origine animale au nouveau-né. L’informatrice explique que le colostrum animal est préparé et consommé par les adultes uniquement. L’informatrice précise que le lait de chèvre peut être donné à un nouveau-né pour les mères qui n’ont pas de lait.

description: A utilização de sementes de alta qualidade é fundamental para que os sistemas de produção de soja apresentem adequados resultados técnicos e econômicos. No entanto, para que esses insumos sejam ofertados com alta qualidade, em geral, são necessários expressivos investimentos. Assim, buscou-se verificar se a implantação de uma unidade de beneficiamento de sementes (UBS) de soja no Estado do Mato Grosso constitui, no longo prazo, alternativa financeiramente viável. Para tanto, com base em um horizonte de planejamento de 10 anos de operação da UBS, com capacidade instalada anual de 500 mil sacas de sementes, foram elaborados os fluxos de caixa e calculados alguns indicadores financeiros (sob condições determinísticas e de riscos), como o valor presente líquido e a taxa interna de retorno. Dentre os resultados obtidos, se verificou que, embora os indicadores apontassem para a maior chance de ocorrência de resultados financeiros positivos, existem grandes riscos do projeto não gerar os resultados esperados. Isso significa que o investimento em uma UBS de soja no Mato Grosso, em nenhuma hipótese, pode ser considerado como desassociado de risco.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The use of seeds of high quality is fundamental for the soybean production systems generate good technical and economical results. However, the supply of those inputs with high quality, in general, needs great investments. Thus, we evaluated if the establishment of a seed processing unit (SPU) of soybean in the State of Mato Grosso is an alternative financial viable in the long-term. Based on a planning horizon of 10 years of operation of the SPU, with capacity installed of 500 thousand bags of seeds by year, we elaborated the cash flows and calculated some financial indicators (under deterministic and risk conditions), as the net present value and the internal rate of return. As results, although the indicators evidenced the largest chance of occurrence of positive financial results, we observed that there are great risks of the project not to generate the expected results. This observation indicates that the investment in a SPU of soybean in Mato Grosso, in any hypothesis, can be considered as disassociated of risk.

description: Polycrystalline Ba4NbIr3O12 has recently been shown to be a promising spin liquid candidate. We report an easy and reliable method to grow millimeter-sized single crystals of this trimer based spin liquid candidate material with the actual stoichiometry of Ba4Nb0.8Ir3.2O12. The growth of large crystals is achieved using BaCl2 as flux. The crystals show hexagonal plate-like habit with edges up to 3 mm in length. The structure is confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and is found to be the same as of previously reported phase Ba12Nb2.4Ir9.6O36 [Ba4Nb0.8Ir3.2O12], indeed with a mixed occupancy of Nb/Ir at 3a site. The magnetic and calorimetric study on the individual single crystals confirms the possibility of a spin liquid state consistent with a recent report on a polycrystalline sample

description: We study constraints on neutrino properties from texture zeros in bi-large mixing See-Saw mass matrix and also from leptogenesis. Texture zeros may occur in the light (class a)) or in the heavy (class b)) neutrino mass matrices. Each of these two classes has 5 different forms which can produce non-trivial three generation mixing with at least one texture zero. We find that two types of texture zero mass matrices in both class a) and class b) can be consistent with present data on neutrino masses, mixing and produce the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. None of the neutrinos can have zero masses with the lightest of the light neutrinos having a mass larger than about 0.039 eV for class a) and 0.002 eV for class b). In these models although CKM CP violating phase vanishes, non-zero Majorana phases, however, can exist and play an important role in producing the observed baryon asymmetry in our universe through leptogenesis mechanism. The requirement of producing the observed baryon asymmetry can further distinguish different models and also restrict the See-Saw scale to be in the range $10^{12}\sim 10^{15}$ GeV.

description: With an isospin- and momentum-dependent transport model, we find that the degree of isospin diffusion in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies is affected by both the stiffness of the nuclear symmetry energy and the momentum dependence of the nucleon potential. Using a momentum dependence derived from the Gogny effective interaction, recent experimental data from NSCL/MSU on isospin diffusion are shown to be consistent with a nuclear symmetry energy given by $E_{\text{sym}}(ρ)\approx 31.6(ρ/ρ_{0})^{1.05} $ at subnormal densities. This leads to a significantly constrained value of about -550 MeV for the isospin-dependent part of the isobaric incompressibility of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter.

description: O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir e analisar a competitividade do sistema agroindustrial da carne bovina do Tocantins com base em alguns direcionadores, tendo como parâmetro as três unidades federativas que apresentam os maiores números em termos de abate e o maior volume de produção de carne bovina: Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais e São Paulo. A cadeia produtiva da carne bovina do Tocantins apresenta um cenário em processo de formação e, em relação aos demais estados analisados, um desempenho competitivo ainda baixo. O exame detalhado da situação atual desta cadeia aponta que em todos os segmentos analisados: produção pecuária, abate e processamento, consumo e distribuição, os números indicam a necessidade de esforços na busca do desenvolvimento de fatores que gerem competitividade e que permitam aproximar o resultado do Tocantins dos líderes nacionais nesse setor.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The purpose of paper is to discuss and analyze the competitiveness of the agribusiness´s meat from Tocantins based on some parameters. The agribusiness beef in Tocantins presented indicators of competitiveness revealed smaller than the other regional departments surveyed (Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo). The detailed examination of the current situation in this chain indicates that in all segments analyzed: livestock production, slaughtering and processing, consumption and distribution, the numbers indicate the need for efforts in the pursuit of development of factors that generate competitiveness, which will bring the result of Tocantins of national leaders in that industry.

description: We consider sensitivity of a generic stochastic optimization problem to model uncertainty. We take a non-parametric approach and capture model uncertainty using Wasserstein balls around the postulated model. We provide explicit formulae for the first order correction to both the value function and the optimizer and further extend our results to optimization under linear constraints. We present applications to statistics, machine learning, mathematical finance and uncertainty quantification. In particular, we provide explicit first-order approximation for square-root LASSO regression coefficients and deduce coefficient shrinkage compared to the ordinary least squares regression. We consider robustness of call option pricing and deduce a new Black-Scholes sensitivity, a non-parametric version of the so-called Vega. We also compute sensitivities of optimized certainty equivalents in finance and propose measures to quantify robustness of neural networks to adversarial examples.
