description: Market orientation (MO) – which is the propensity of a firm to collect and utilise information from the market – is an important leverage of competitive advantage. This paper helps to better understand why some owner-managers engage with market intelligence why others simply do not. The relationship among the owner-manager’s personal characteristics, entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and MO are explored, despite existing literature neglected testing these simple but important relationships. We adopt a resource-based view (RBV) of the firm perspective. This study aims to establish whether the personal characteristics of the entrepreneur impact the use of marketing information. More specifically, this study tests entrepreneurial attitude orientation, marketing expertise and demographic variables for an effect on the use of different types and sources of marketing information as well as the frequency of information usage. Data were collected through a regional survey of 296 small business owners and senior managers in SMEs in the Scottish food and drink industry. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and regression analysis was used to test hypothesised relationships. Personal characteristics such as age (p.05). Implications for policy makers and practitioners involving small business subsidies and entrepreneurs’ marketing training are discussed.

description: We propose a new linearizable model for the nonlinear photocurrent-voltage characteristics of nanocrystalline TiO$_2$ dye sensitized solar cells based on first principles and report predicted values for fill factors. Upon renormalization diverse experimental photocurrent-voltage data collapse onto a single universal function. These advances allow the estimation of the complete current-voltage curve and the fill factor from any three experimental data points, e.g., the open circuit voltage, the short circuit current and one intermediate measurement. The theoretical underpinning provides insight into the physical mechanisms responsible for the remarkably large fill factors as well as their known dependence on the open circuit voltage.

description: The strong mixing of close levels with two valence electrons in Be-like xenon greatly complicates ab initio QED calculations beyond the first-order approximation. Due to a strong interplay between the electron-electron correlation and QED effects, the standard single-level perturbative QED approach may fail, even if it takes into account the second-order screened QED diagrams. In the present Letter, the corresponding obstacles are overcome by working out the QED perturbation theory for quasidegenerate states. The contributions of all the Feynman diagrams up to the second order are taken into account. The many-electron QED effects are rigorously evaluated in the framework of the extended Furry picture to all orders in the nuclear-strength parameter $αZ$. The higher-order electron-correlation effects are considered within the Breit approximation. The nuclear recoil effect is accounted for as well. The developed approach is applied to high-precision QED calculations of the ground and singly excited energy levels in Be-like xenon. The most accurate theoretical predictions for the binding and excitation energies are obtained. These results deviate from the most precise experimental value by $3σ$ but perfectly agree with a more recent measurement.

description: The present study contributes to identifying obstacles to the development of a local biodiesel agro-industrial system (AGS) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The research questions are: “How do local social characteristics influence the organizational effectiveness of agents involved in the joint production effort?”; and “How can the institutional arrangement of biodiesel production be described?” The method adopted is the case study, focused on family farmers served by the Family Farmers Rural Extension and Technical Assistance Company (EMATER). This state organization introduced castor beans (Ricinus communis L.) to family farmers as an alternative crop to supply a processing plant (Darcy Ribeiro Biodiesel Plant—DRBP) in northern Minas Gerais state, Brazil. These family farmers are not horizontally organized, and sign individual contracts with DRBP. The paper concludes that the primary obstacle to developing the biodiesel AGS with castor beans in Minas Gerais is the lack of horizontal organization among family farmers.

description: We compute the one loop self-mass-squared of a massless, minimally coupled scalar which is Yukawa-coupled to a massless Dirac fermion in a general conformally flat background. Dimensional regularization is employed and a fully renormalized result is obtained. For the special case of a locally de Sitter background our result is manifestly de Sitter invariant. By solving the effective field equations we show that the scalar mode functions acquire no significant one loop corrections. In particular, the phenomenon of super-adiabatic amplification is not affected. One consequence is that the scalar-catalyzed production of fermions during inflation should not be reduced by changes in the scalar sector before it has time to go to completion.

description: We constructed a relatively simple dynamic general equilibrium model with an agricultural and a nonagricultural sector along neoclassical lines. The economy is closed, but it is not too difficult to evaluate how the opening of the economy would affect the conclusions. The model relates technical change in the two sectors -- capital accumulation and labor and population growth -- to per capita income, sectoral outputs, allocation of resources, and terms of trade. Instead of simulating with the model we use it to measure the impact of the exogenous variables on the endogenous ones at different stages of the development of Japan, i.e., we trace structural changes in that economy.

description: Understanding the relationship between complexity and stability in large dynamical systems -- such as ecosystems -- remains a key open question in complexity theory which has inspired a rich body of work developed over more than fifty years. The vast majority of this theory addresses asymptotic linear stability around equilibrium points, but the idea of `stability' in fact has other uses in the empirical ecological literature. The important notion of `temporal stability' describes the character of fluctuations in population dynamics, driven by intrinsic or extrinsic noise. Here we apply tools from random matrix theory to the problem of temporal stability, deriving analytical predictions for the fluctuation spectra of complex ecological networks. We show that different network structures leave distinct signatures in the spectrum of fluctuations, and demonstrate the application of our theory to the analysis ecological timeseries data of plankton abundances.

Subjects: subject: 80302 Computer System Architecture
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present a design of a scalable interconnection network that possesses a hierarchical structure. We also present the network topology, features, and performance analysis. The proposed network is well suited to optical implementation and will be used in massively parallel systems. This network is called a Scalable Optical Interconnection Network (SCOPIN). SCOPIN is a single-hop, scalable, flexible, fault-tolerant interconnection network that uses WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) techniques to achieve high performance. Here single hop refers to the ability of each transmitter of an access node to directly reach the receivers of every access node by one of its wavelength-channels. The proposed network structure consists of a local ncube cluster decomposed into transmitter/receiver groups that are scalable and a global torus link network that connects these local ncube clusters. This paper also takes a look at the structural aspects, which include the transit nodes in the optical medium and the transmitter/receiver configuration. These in turn determine the physical and virtual topologies respectively

description: The quantum Fisher information matrix is a central object in multiparameter quantum estimation theory. It is usually challenging to obtain analytical expressions for it because most calculation methods rely on the diagonalization of the density matrix. In this paper, we derive general expressions for the quantum Fisher information matrix which bypass matrix diagonalization and do not require the expansion of operators on an orthonormal set of states. Additionally, we can tackle density matrices of arbitrary rank. The methods presented here simplify analytical calculations considerably when, for example, the density matrix is more naturally expressed in terms of non-orthogonal states, such as coherent states. Our derivation relies on two matrix inverses which, in principle, can be evaluated analytically even when the density matrix is not diagonalizable in closed form. We demonstrate the power of our approach by deriving novel results in the timely field of discrete quantum imaging: the estimation of positions and intensities of incoherent point sources. We find analytical expressions for the full estimation problem of two point sources with different intensities, and for specific examples with three point sources. We expect that our method will become standard in quantum metrology.

Time Evolution of Relativistic Force-Free Fields Connecting a Neutron Star and its Disk

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We study the magnetic interaction between a neutron star and its disk by solving the time-dependent relativistic force-free equations. At the initial state, we assume that the dipole magnetic field of the neutron star connects the neutron star and its equatorial disk, which deeply enters into the magnetosphere of the neutron star. Magnetic fields are assumed to be frozen to the star and the disk. The rotation of the neutron star and the disk is imposed as boundary conditions. We apply Harten-Lax-van Leer (HLL) method to simulate the evolution of the star-disk system. We carry out simulations for (1) a disk inside the corotation radius, in which the disk rotates faster than the star, and (2) a disk outside the corotation radius, in which the neutron star rotates faster than the disk. Numerical results indicate that for both models, the magnetic field lines connecting the disk and the star inflate as they are twisted by the differential rotation between the disk and the star. When the twist angle exceeds pi radian, the magnetic field lines expand with speed close to the light speed. This mechanism can be the origin of relativistic outflows observed in binaries containing a neutron star.

Corporate shareholding in Japan
Creators: name: Nakano, Katsura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation investigates why a substantial number of common stocks is held by companies in many countries, especially in Japan. Chapter 1 gives an overview of historical and legal issues regarding corporate shareholding in Japan. Chapter 2 reviews how researchers have, theoretically and empirically, approached corporate shareholding issues. Chapter 3 elaborates on a corporate shareholding model which incorporates a standard principal-agent model with Aoki's managerial risk sharing argument (Aoki, 1988). The model finds that a risk-averse manager of a firm invests in other firms if managerial reward is linked with the value of the firm she manages, and if the operating profits of investing and invested firms are negatively correlated. Corporate stock investment is larger if the invested (and/or investing) company's operating profit is less volatile and/or if the covariance in the operating profits of the companies is more strongly negative. Although a stronger link between corporate performance and managerial reward increases managers' incentive to exert efforts, it also increases the risk that managers must bear. If the risk is too high, managers would leave their companies. Corporate stock investment reduces the risk, and enables shareholders to offer a higher incentive to the managers and to earn a higher (expected) income. Chapter 4 examines three major arguments concerning the rationale behind the practice of corporate shareholding: the competitive-effect, risk-sharing, and control-rights arguments. Predictions drawn from those arguments are tested using panel data of 186 Japanese corporate group firms from 1980 to 1988. The main findings of this study are as follows. (1) The competitive-effect argument is clearly supported by the data. Firms in the same industry do tend to invest more in one another. (2) The evidence in favor of the risksharing argument is weaker — although firms with less risky operating profits tend to attract more investment, the relationship between investment and the covariance in the firms' operating profits is ambiguous. (3) The strongest empirical support is given to the control-rights argument. Indeed, the evidence confirms that a firm is more likely to invest in other firms that hold more of its own shares. Chapter 5 concludes this dissertation.

description: The discrete Full Wavelet Transform (FWT) and the discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (WPR) are algorithms of multi-stage wavelet transforms, in which some or all of the results from earlier stages of transform are continuously transformed in later stages. The two algorithms have received much attention in many areas including communication systems, image processing and compression, etc. There have been many reports on the architectures for multi-stage Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) as shown in figure 1, yet few on the architectures for FWT and WPT. We contribute to pipelining the algorithms of 2D as well as 1D FWT and WPT by using special purpose architectures based on a new systolic an load balanced structure proposed in this paper. Our designs are desirably area efficient and of real time performance, without involving any memory manipulation. These advantages are especially attractive to the systems that need efficient and fast hardware.

description: We reduce the dynamics of an ensemble of mean-coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators close to the synchronized solution. In particular, we map the system onto the center manifold of the Benjamin-Feir instability, the bifurcation destabilizing the synchronized oscillation. Using symmetry arguments, we describe the structure of the dynamics on this center manifold up to cubic order, and derive expressions for its parameters. This allows us to investigate phenomena described by the Stuart-Landau ensemble, such as clustering and cluster singularities, in the lower-dimensional center manifold, providing further insights into the symmetry-broken dynamics of coupled oscillators. We show that cluster singularities in the Stuart-Landau ensemble correspond to vanishing quadratic terms in the center manifold dynamics. In addition, they act as organizing centers for the saddle-node bifurcations creating unbalanced cluster states as well for the transverse bifurcations altering the cluster stability. Furthermore, we show that bistability of different solutions with the same cluster-size distribution can only occur when either cluster contains at least $1/3$ of the oscillators, independent of the system parameters.

Subjects: Food Security and Poverty

description: The extent to which Latin America can pull itself out of persistent poverty in the foreseeable future depends, in an important manner, on how successful the region will be in achieving sustainable growth in its rural economies. A good strategy for sustainable growth in rural Latin America is to make sure that the market works for the poor. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it is to lay out some of the issues important to the successful functioning of the key markets in rural Latin America, including labor market, financial market, land market, and agricultural factor and product markets. Second, it is to present policy suggestions regarding how to ensure that the market works for the rural poor. While governments should continue their refrains of not intervening directly with the market and distorting price signals, they can play a very positive role in facilitating market reforms and in ensuring that the rural poor indeed emerge as winners.

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the hypothesis that a common basis for rapid growth in agricultural output and productivity lies in a remarkable adaptation of agricultural technology to the sharply contrasting factor proportions in the two countries. It is hypothesized that an important aspect of this adaptation was the ability to generate a continuous sequence of induced innovations in agricultural technology biased towards saving the limiting factors. In Japan these innovations were primarily biological and chemical. In the United States they were primarily mechanical.

Context: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease and Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is the one that is strongly associated with asthma which majorly affects the lung. The present study was done to find the prevalence of ABPA in adult asthmatics in tertiary care hospitals using the ISHAM criteria for ABPA. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 165 asthma patients using ISHAM criteria for ABPA. Result: Out of 165 cases, 36 (21.81%) patients had ABPA according to ISHAM criteria. Conclusion: ABPA is frequently misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis in India results in delaying the diagnosis of ABPA. Clinicians should be sensitized to the problem burden, timely diagnosis and management to prevent lung tissue damage.  Significance of result: A separate guideline can be formulated to diagnose and manage ABPA in asthmatic patients.

description: Recent research has shown that large-scale Internet of Things (IoT)-based load altering attacks can have a serious impact on power grid operations such as causing unsafe frequency excursions and destabilizing the grid's control loops. In this work, we present an analytical framework to investigate the impact of IoT-based static/dynamic load altering attacks (S/DLAAs) on the power grid's dynamic response. Existing work on this topic has mainly relied on numerical simulations and, to date, there is no analytical framework to identify the victim nodes from which that attacker can launch the most impactful attacks. To address these shortcomings, we use results from second-order dynamical systems to analyze the power grid frequency control loop under S/DLAAs. We use parametric sensitivity of the system's eigensolutions to identify victim nodes that correspond to the least-effort destabilizing DLAAs. Further, to analyze the SLAAs, we present closed-form expression for the system's frequency response in terms of the attacker's inputs, helping us characterize the minimum load change required to cause unsafe frequency excursions. Using these results, we formulate the defense against S/DLAAs as a linear programming problem in which we determine the minimum amount of load that needs to be secured at the victim nodes to ensure system safety/stability. Extensive simulations conducted using benchmark IEEE-bus systems validate the accuracy and efficacy of our approach.

description: We present a systematic spectral analysis of 350 bright GRBs observed with BATSE, with high spectral and temporal resolution. Our sample was selected from the complete set of 2704 BATSE GRBs, and included 17 short GRBs. To obtain well-constrained spectral parameters, four different photon models were fitted and the spectral parameters that best represent each spectrum were statistically determined. A thorough analysis was performed on 350 time-integrated and 8459 time-resolved burst spectra. Using the results, we compared time-integrated and time-resolved spectral parameters, and also studied correlations among the parameters and their evolution within each burst. The resulting catalog is the most comprehensive study of spectral properties of GRB prompt emission to date, and provides constraints with exceptional statistics on particle acceleration and emission mechanisms in GRBs.

description: Magnets with frustration often show accidental degeneracies, characterized by a large classical ground-state space (CGSS). Quantum fluctuations may `select' one of these ground states -- a phenomenon labeled `order by (quantum) disorder' in literature. In this article, we examine the mechanism(s) by which such state selection takes place. We argue that a magnet, at low energies, maps to a particle moving on the CGSS. State selection corresponds to localization of the particle at a certain point on this space. We distinguish two mechanisms that can bring about localization. In the first, quantum fluctuations generate a potential on the CGSS. If the potential has a deep enough minimum, then the particle localizes in its vicinity. We denote this as `order by potential' (ObP). In the second scenario, the particle localizes at a self-intersection point due to bound-state formation -- a consequence of geometry and quantum interference. Following recent studies by the present authors, we denote this scenario as `order by singularity' (ObS). We place our discussion within the context of the one-dimensional spin-$S$ Kitaev model. We map out its CGSS which grows systematically with increasing system size. It resembles a network where the number of nodes increases exponentially. In addition, the number of wires that cross at each node also grows exponentially. This self-intersecting structure leads to ObS, with the low-energy physics determined by a small subset of the CGSS, consisting of `Cartesian' states. A contrasting picture emerges when an additional XY antiferromagnetic coupling is introduced. The CGSS simplifies dramatically, taking the form of a circle. Spin-wave fluctuations generate a potential on this space, giving rise to state selection by ObP under certain conditions. Apart from contrasting ObS and ObP, we discuss the possibility of ObS in macroscopic magnets.

We observe both resonant and nonresonant microwave photoresistance. Resonant features are identified as the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and ferromagnetic antiresonance (FMAR). A macroscopic model based on Maxwell and Landau-Lifschitz equations reveals the macroscopic nature of the FMAR. The experimental approach and results provide new insight in the interplay between photonic, spintronic, and charge effects in FM microstructures.

description: We study the hypernuclei of C and B isotopes by Hartree-Fock model with Skyrme-type nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon interactions. The calculated $Λ$ binding energies agree well with the available experiment data. We found halo structure in the hyperon $1p$-state with extended wave function beyond nuclear surface in the light C and B isotopes. We also found the enhanced electric dipole transition between $1p$- and $1s$-hyperon states, which could be the evidence for this hyperon halo structure.

Spatial pricing patterns and market power ; Theory and evidence from the BC interior pulp fibre market
Creators: name: Nelson, Harry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The large scale and transportation costs of most wood producing industries, especially in the pulp and paper sector, typically leads to high levels of concentration in regional markets for wood fibre. This in turn has meant that the possible exercise of market power in forest product input and output markets has been long recognized. A recurring issue i n British Columbia has been the prices paid by local pulp mills for wood chips used to produce pulp. The provincial government has directly and indirectly regulated the pulp fibre market in the Interior of the province both during its inception and throughout much of the past forty years. Government intervention led to a non-competitive outcome marked by l ow prices for wood chips that were characterized by the fact that prices paid to suppliers were invariant with respect to distance. A model shows how this particular equilibrium was inherently unstable, as evidenced by prices increasing four-fold after a change in firm behaviour. Because the province owns of most of the forest land in the province it has developed a set of goals concerning the provincial forest industry that include providing employment, maintaining community stability, and collecting revenues from the harvest of timber on behalf of the public. The provincial government faces a series of policy questions regarding the forest industry in terms of harvest levels, regulation, trade policy, and stumpage design. If past trends continue, pulp and paper mills are likely to become the largest users of the forest resource within the next five years, while provincial forest policy remains focused on the production o f solid wood products. At the same time, increased fibre costs due to a combination of government initiatives and decreasing fibre availability are affecting the entire forest industry in BC . For pulp and paper mills their fibre costs can determine their competitiveness i n world markets. How the government responds to these issues will affect both fibre flows within the sector as well as the future structure of the forest sector.

description: We demonstrate that flux compactifications of type IIA string theory can classically stabilize all geometric moduli. For a particular orientifold background, we explicitly construct an infinite family of supersymmetric vacua with all moduli stabilized at arbitrarily large volume, weak coupling, and small negative cosmological constant. We obtain these solutions from both ten-dimensional and four-dimensional perspectives. For more general backgrounds, we study the equations for supersymmetric vacua coming from the effective superpotential and show that all geometric moduli can be stabilized by fluxes. We comment on the resulting picture of statistics on the landscape of vacua.

Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: This paper has three basic purposes. The first is to review a rigorous framework for the analysis of commons dilemmas proposed by Dasgupta that avoids many basic faults of the usual apparatus. The second is to relate this analysis of the commons to models of external effects and public foods. Properly formulated, the commons dilemma may be considered as a choice constrained by these external effects, making it a problem of the "Second Best." The third purpose is to extend the analysis into the literature on strategic interdependence, especially problems in the economics of expectation formation. The paper concludes with a general summary of the redirections implied for both theory and empirical research in natural resource economics.

description: In this work, a Serpent 2 neutronics model of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator is prepared, and an response function for the Scintillating-Fibre neutron detector (SciFi) is calculated using the model. The neutronics model includes the simplified geometry for the key components of the stellarator itself as well as the torus hall. The objective of the model is to assess the 14.1 MeV neutron flux from deuteron-triton fusions in W7-X, where the neutrons are modelled only until they have slowed down to 1 MeV energy. The key messages of this article are: demonstration of unstructured mesh geometry usage for stellarators, W7-X in particular; technical documentation of the model and first insights in fast neutron behaviour in W7-X, especially related to the SciFi: the model indicates that the superconducting coils are the strongest scatterers and block neutrons from large parts of the plasma. The back-scattering from e.g. massive steel support structures is found to be small. The SciFi will detect neutrons from an extended plasma volume in contrast to having an effective line-of-sight.

description: We report on diffuse X-ray emission associated with the nearby solitary millisecond pulsar PSR J2124-3358 detected with XMM-Newton and Chandra. The emission extends from the pulsar to the northwest by ~0.5 arcmin. The spectrum of the nebular emission can be modeled with a power-law of photon index $2.2\pm0.4$, in line with the emission originating from accelerated particles in the post shock flow. For PSR J0437-4715, PSR J0030+0451 and PSR J1024-0719, which all have spin parameters comparable to that of PSR J2124-3358, no diffuse emission is detected down to a 3-sigma limiting flux of $4-7\times10^{-15}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$.

description: Eight consecutive low-frequency radial p-modes are identified in the G0 IV star eta Bootis based on 27 days of ultraprecise rapid photometry obtained by the MOST (Microvariability & Oscillations of Stars) satellite. The MOST data extend smoothly to lower overtones the sequence of radial p-modes reported in earlier groundbased spectroscopy by other groups. The lower-overtone modes from the MOST data constrain the interior structure of the model of eta Boo. With the interior fit anchored by the lower-overtone modes seen by MOST, standard models are not able to fit the higher-overtone modes with the same level of accuracy. The discrepancy is similar to the discrepancy that exists between the Sun's observed p-mode frequencies and the p-mode frequencies of the standard solar model. This discrepancy promises to be a powerful constraint on models of 3D convection.

description: The design of application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) is usually required in order to improve the performance of multidimensional applications such as computer vision, high-definition television, medical imaging, remote sensing, and fluid dynamics. In this paper, by multidimensional intercalation we fully retime the rate-balanced MDFG so that there is no zero-valued delay weight between any computation nodes in the retimed MDFG, which means that the inter-operation parallelism can be fully exploited.

A non-twisting flux tube for local gyrokinetic simulations
Creators: name: Ball, Justin
name: Brunner, Stephan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Local gyrokinetic simulations use a field-aligned domain that twists due to the magnetic shear of the background magnetic equilibrium. However, if the magnetic shear is strong and/or the domain is long, the twist can become so extreme that it fails to properly resolve the turbulence. In this work, we derive and implement the "non-twisting flux tube," a local simulation domain that remains rectangular at all parallel locations. Convergence and runtime tests indicate that it can calculate the heat flux more efficiently than the conventional flux tube. For one test case, it was 30 times less computationally expensive and we found no case for which it was more expensive. It is most advantageous when the magnetic shear is high and the domain includes at least two regions of turbulent drive (e.g. stellarator simulations, pedestal simulations, tokamak simulations with several poloidal turns). Additionally, it more accurately models the inboard midplane when the magnetic shear is large. Lastly, we show how the non-twisting flux tube can be generalized to allow further optimization and control of the simulation domain.
