description: We study taste and Euclidean rotational symmetry violation for staggered fermions at nonzero lattice spacing using staggered chiral perturbation theory. We extend the staggered chiral Lagrangian to O(a^2 p^2), O(a^4) and O(a^2 m), the orders necessary for a full next-to-leading order calculation of pseudo-Goldstone boson masses and decay constants including analytic terms. We then calculate a number of SO(4) taste-breaking quantities, which involve only a small subset of these NLO operators. We predict relationships between SO(4) taste-breaking splittings in masses, pseudoscalar decay constants, and dispersion relations. We also find predictions for a few quantities that are not SO(4) breaking. All these results hold also for theories in which the fourth-root of the fermionic determinant is taken to reduce the number of quark tastes; testing them will therefore provide evidence for or against the validity of this trick.

description: The aim of the article was to identify the socio-economical conditions of famers’ households economical security in 2013, according to farmers’ households classification, basing on the level of needs’ safisfaction, measured with the size of social minimum cart, using the Classification and Regression Trees. The research was conducted, basing on raw data from Households Budget survey, made by Central Stastistical Office in 2013. The research showed that the main determinants of the level of needs’ satisfaction in farmers’ households were: household size and the level of education of houseolds’ head. In 2013, the highest level of economic security characterised housholds, counting 1, 2 or 3 members, with the head of household, having at least medium level of education. The lowest level of economic security characterised housholds, counting 6 or more members, with the head of household, having basic or medium level of education.

description: Il volume presenta i risultati della ricerca INEA su “La governance delle politiche in aree rurali”, un progetto pluriannuale e multidisciplinare che ha lo scopo di indagare le ragioni di fondo che stanno alla base dei successi e dei fallimenti delle politiche di sviluppo in aree rurali. Il progetto ha preso in esame tutti i livelli coinvolti (europeo, nazionale, regionale e locale), con l’obiettivo di individuare i nodi critici e le soluzioni innovative assunte a ciascun livello. Al centro dell’analisi ci sono fondamentalmente gli attori operanti ai vari livelli e i processi di attuazione delle politiche nei due periodi 2000-2006 e 2007-2013. La ricerca ha approfondito l’analisi in quattro regioni italiane − Puglia, Sardegna, Liguria e Toscana − e in cinque aree con forti connotazioni di ruralità e di qualità delle produzioni agro-industriali − le Langhe (Piemonte), il Chianti e la Garfagnana (Toscana), i colli orientali del Friuli e le colline del medio Friuli. La ricerca è riuscita a focalizzare le principali variabili che condizionano il “come” le politiche vengono programmate e gestite. L’analisi e la riforma della governance delle politiche sarà sempre di più al centro dell’attenzione dei parlamenti e dei governi nazionali e regionali. Non è affatto un caso, infatti, che nell’elenco dei temi di ricerca di Horizon 2020 questo appaia come una delle priorità future per la ricerca europea.

Vintners quality alliance and the demand for British Columbia wine
Creators: name: Rabkin, Danielle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) program was established in British Columbia in 1990 in response to a series of trade agreements that opened the BC wine market to direct foreign competition. The VQA program aimed at improving the quality of British Columbia produced wines by outlining standards and regulations for wine produced from 100% BC grown grapes. Wine sales in British Columbia are rapidly increasing with domestically produced Canadian wines’ having the largest market share. This research examines consumers’ valuation of VQA certification using a hedonic price analysis. Results show that consumers are willing to pay a premium for VQA red and white wines however a quantile regression reveals that VQA certification is less important for high-priced wines, while the premium is largest for low priced wines. An almost ideal demand system for British Columbia VQA and non-VQA wine is estimated and own- and cross-price elasticities are calculated and discussed.
Long Time Dynamics for Combustion in Random Media

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study long time dynamics of combustive processes in random media, modeled by reaction-diffusion equations with random ignition reactions. One expects that under reasonable hypotheses on the randomness, large space-time scale dynamics of solutions to these equations is almost surely governed by a different effective PDE, which should be a homogeneous Hamilton-Jacobi equation. While this was previously proved in one dimension as well as for isotropic reactions in several dimensions (i.e., with radially symmetric laws), we provide here the first proof of this phenomenon in the general non-isotropic multidimensional setting. Our results hold for reactions that have finite ranges of dependence (i.e., their values are independent at sufficiently distant points in space) as well as for some with infinite ranges of dependence, and are based on proving existence of deterministic front (propagation) speeds in all directions for these reactions.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The free energy of the Random Energy Model at the transition point between ferromagnetic and spin glass phases is calculated. At this point, equivalent to the decoding error threshold in optimal codes, free energy has finite size corrections proportional to the square root of the number of degrees. The response of the magnetization to the ferromagnetic couplings is maximal at the values of magnetization equal to half. We give several criteria of complexity and define different universality classes. According to our classification, at the lowest class of complexity are random graph, Markov Models and Hidden Markov Models. At the next level is Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass, connected with neuron-network models. On a higher level are critical theories, spin glass phase of Random Energy Model, percolation, self organized criticality (SOC). The top level class involves HOT design, error threshold in optimal coding, language, and, maybe, financial market. Alive systems are also related with the last class. A concept of anti-resonance is suggested for the complex systems.

description: We study the properties of 55 morphologically-identified merging galaxy systems at z~2. These systems are flagged as mergers based on features such as tidal tails, double nuclei, and asymmetry. Our sample is drawn from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey, along with a control sample of isolated galaxies at the same redshift. We consider the relationships between stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and gas-phase metallicity for both merging and non-merging systems. In the local universe, merging systems are characterized by an elevated SFR and depressed metallicity compared to isolated systems at a given mass. Our results indicate SFR enhancement and metallicity deficit for merging systems relative to non-merging systems for a fixed stellar mass at z~2, though larger samples are required to establish these preliminary results with higher statistical significance. In future work, it will be important to establish if the enhanced SFR and depressed metallicity in high-redshift mergers deviate from the "fundamental metallicity relation," as is observed in mergers in the local universe, and therefore shed light on gas flows during galaxy interactions.

Publisher: name: medical journal of virtual science
Year: 2021

description: Invitation: Dear reader, thank you for your interest in the first editorial of the Medical Journal of Virtual Sciences. Herein we inform you about this journal. We want to publish and distribute articles which are based upon the natural laws and focus on virtual content and application of practical use in medicine and human life. The journal itself includes new innovative technologic methods of peer reviewed open access, scientific journals. Goal: To establish an innovative open access journal, to distribute and promote research and sciences of virtual issues in medicine and human life. Background: Human intelligence is the mandatory requirement to diagnose and successfully treat diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined the transfer of human intelligence to non-human or only partly biological machines. AI started with ‘entrance issues’ (how to construct useful intelligent machines?) and innovative sciences which were involved in ’solely inside and input / output related virtual performance conditions’ (how do these virtual systems behave, develop and react?). Implementation: Open source algorithms and programs form the framework of the Medical Journal of Virtual Science. In addition, several specific features are implemented. These include electronic specific features of communication, such as movie files, interactive (Chat-like) discussion of whole slide images (virtual slides) and ‘chain – like’ publication of articles, chapters, or sentences (similar to ‘letter to the author / editor’). Future features: They will include automated periodic ‘update’ of the references of a published article, automated analysis of the article’s statistics including information of the authors, and automated completely non-biased review procedures of submitted articles. Business model: The journal is created and run by colleagues who work on a voluntary basis only and who are interested in development and impact of virtual intelligent medical systems. It does not depend upon market strategies and profit models of any of the commercially based publication players.

description: Objective: To determine the prevalence of obesity and overweight among housewives of Karachi, Pakistan.
 Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, housewives attending different hospitals, fulfilling inclusion criteria for the study received a Questionnaire adopted from a previous study done in Iran. Questionnaire was filled with trained assistants and had questions regarding demographic information in addition to the questions relevant to Physical and physiological status. Results: Out of 250 housewives, BMI of 4.8% was in the category of underweight, 31.6% participants were normal, 30.4% were overweight and 33.2% were obese. Conclusion: Prevalence of obesity and overweight was found to be high. It can be reduced by encouraging awareness about the factors associated with obesity and overweight as well as help us to prevent them at the primordial level. (Rawal Med J 202;46:62-64). Keywords: Obesity, overweight, body mass index.

description: We discuss the annealing-dependence of exchange bias in Ga1-xMnxAs epilayers that are overgrown with Mn. Although pure Mn is a known antiferromagnet, we find that the as-grown Mn overlayer does not produce any exchange coupling with Ga1-xMnxAs. Rather, our studies indicate that annealing in air is essential for creating the standard signatures of an exchange bias (a clear shift in the magnetization hysteresis loop and an increased coercive field). We use x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to characterize the compositional depth profile of both as-grown and rapid thermal annealed samples. These studies demonstrate that the cleanest exchange bias arises when the Mn overlayer is completely converted into MnO.

description: We consider multi-dimensional Schrödinger operators with a weak random perturbation distributed in the cells of some periodic lattice. In every cell the perturbation is described by the translate of a fixed abstract operator depending on a random variable. The random variables, indexed by the lattice, are assumed to be independent and identically distributed according to an absolutely continuous probability density. A small global coupling constant tunes the strength of the perturbation. We treat analogous random Hamiltonians defined on multi-dimensional layers, as well. For such models we determine the location of the almost sure spectrum and its dependence on the global coupling constant. In this paper we concentrate on the case that the spectrum expands when the perturbation is switched on. Furthermore, we derive a Wegner estimate and an initial length scale estimate, which together with Combes--Thomas estimate allows to invoke the multi-scale analysis proof of localization. We specify an energy region, including the bottom of the almost sure spectrum, which exhibits spectral and dynamical localization. Due to our treatment of general, abstract perturbations our results apply at once to many interesting examples both known and new.

description: Der Präsident des Europäischen Parlaments, Martin Schulz, hat wiederholt betont, dass kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen nur begrenzten Zugang zu Krediten haben. Eine Förderung dieser Unternehmen sei daher sinnvoll, um die Arbeitslosigkeit zu verringern. Laut Presseberichten erwägt auch die EZB eine verbilligte Kreditvergabe an nationale Banken, wenn diese kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen kreditieren. Im Beitrag wird aus theoretischer Sicht und anhand von Ergebnissen empirischer Untersuchungen argumentiert, dass die einzelbetriebliche Investitionsförderung nicht an den Ursachen der hohen Arbeitslosigkeit ansetzt und aufgrung ihrer schwierigen Steuerbarkeit große Effizienzprobleme aufweist. Untersuchungen der Maßnahmen zur "Förderung der ländlichen Entwicklung", der "Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur" sowie der "Ländlichen Entwicklung" belegen nicht, dass Investitionsförderung eine effiziente wirtschaftspolitische Maßnahme ist. Es gibt effizientere Maßnahmen.

description: Diese Masterarbeit, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Unternehmen Hilti verfasst wurde, befasst sich mit der Entwicklung von Partnerschaften mit der Zielgruppe Planer und Ingenieure. Da durch den zunehmenden Wettbewerbsdruck sich das Interesse der Unternehmen bei der Durchführung eines Bauprojektes so darstellt, dass die Kostenoptimierung hauptsächlich über den Preiswettbewerb in der Angebotsphase und nicht durch ihre Lebenszykluskosten entschieden wird, gilt folglich der Preis als entscheidendes Differenzierungsmerkmal. Lieferanten in der Bauindustrie, wie Hilti es ist, müssen sich mit dieser Problematik auseinandersetzen und versuchen in Bezug darauf neue Strategien und Lösungsansätze zu entwickeln. Eine dieser Lösungsmöglichkeiten stellt der Auf- und Ausbau von Partnerschaften mit Projektbeteiligten dar. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit versucht, durch Einsetzung und Platzierung von Dienstleistungen ein strategisches Direkt-marketing-Konzept zu gestalten, welches am Ende als ein Stufenmodell dargestellt wurde. Dieses Stufenmodell wurde auf Grundlage der Analyse von Interviews mit Experten entwickelt und zeigt einen Stufenansatz für eine effektive Bearbeitung der Zielgruppe Planer und Ingenieure auf.
description: This master thesis, written in collaboration with the company Hilti, addresses the development of partnerships with the target group of planners and engineers. As a result of increasing competitive pressure, it has shown that the company's focus of interest, when carrying out a construction project, is on the cost optimization that is mainly decided on price competition in the tender stage and not through its life-cycle costs. This leads to the fact that price is the key differentiator. In order to cope with these inconveniences, suppliers in the construction industry are required to develop new strategies and approaches. One of these possible solutions is the development and expansion of partnerships with stakeholders. Against this background, in this master thesis the attempt was made to create a strategic direct marketing concept, which is illustrated and described as a stage model through setting up and placing services. This model was developed based on the analysis of interviews with experts and demonstrates a stage approach for effective processing of the target group of planners and engineers.

description: Symmetry forbidden effects in crystals may emerge in a local environment that breaks the symmetries. Yet these hidden physical effects were only discussed in centrosymmetric crystals. Here we propose that hidden physical effects can be generalized to almost all crystallographic symmetric groups and hence reveal their universality and diversity. We systematically discuss certain symmetries in crystals that may induce hidden spin polarization (HSP), hidden berry curvature and hidden valley polarization, with a focus on a specific pattern of HSP whose winding directions of the in-plane spin vectors are the same for adjacent bands, dubbed anomalous HSP. Such an unprecedented spin pattern arises from relatively weak spin-dependent inter-sector interaction and is demonstrated in mirror-symmetric InSe by first-principles calculations. Unique electric field-dependent splitting into specific spatial polarization pattern may serve as an experimental signature of anomalous HSP. Our results reveal abundant hidden physical effects beyond centrosymmetric crystals and provide new platforms to discuss them for emergent physical effects and future applications.

Study of wedged asymmetric photon beams
Creators: name: Qiu, Yue
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In radiation therapy, many recent advances have been made in the technology used for dose delivery. However, conventional physical wedges are still in clinical use. The combination of asymmetric field collimation and physical wedge presents a challenge for accurate dose calculation. Algorithms for calculating monitor units (MUs) in wedged asymmetric photon beams as implemented in treatment planning systems have their limitations. In this work, the dose calculations for rectangular wedged asymmetric fields by the Eclipse treatment planning system were tested by direct comparison to ion chamber measurements and up to 6.5% discrepancy was found. Monte Carlo simulation by BEAMnrc was used for independent dose calculations. Finally, a correction method was developed for accurate wedged asymmetric dose calculations. The difference in dose between a wedged asymmetric field and the corresponding wedged symmetric field is accounted for by a correction factor that is a function of field sizes, off axis distance and depth of measurement. For both 6MV and 18MV photon beams at d max [subscript] and 10cm, the correction factor is within 1% of the measurement in most cases and the maximum difference is 2%. The dose at the asymmetric field center, which is based on wedged symmetric profiles and the correction factor, is within 2% of the measured dose in most cases and the maximum difference is 4%. It can be concluded that our simple correction factor is able to calculate dose at the center of wedged asymmetric fields with acceptable accuracy.

description: El «ajuste clásico» ha sido interpretado frecuentemente como la senda racional y óptima de modernización del sector agrario. Esto ha llevado a considerar a la agricultura a tiempo parcial como un subproducto (ineficiente) del modelo clásico. Frente a este planteamiento, el artículo defiende la potencial contribución de la agricultura a tiempo parcial (y la externalización de servicios asociada a la misma) al proceso de innovación y de modernización de las estructuras agrarias. Se revisa críticamente la literatura adoptando una perspectiva microeconómica y territorial y esbozando un marco analítico que combina los enfoques de los costes de transacción y evolucionista. Utilizando información estadística e información cualitativa procedente de entrevistas en profundidad, se distinguen dos modelos de organización de la producción dentro de la citricultura valenciana y se compara ésta con la catalana. Se evidencia que la concatenación agricultura a tiempo parcial-externalización de tareas estimula el cambio estructural generando trayectorias territoriales que pueden eventualmente converger con la «trayectoria clásica». Del análisis derivan implicaciones importantes de política agraria. The «classic adjustment» has been interpreted frequently as the optimal path to modernization of the agrarian sector. This has driven to consider part-time farming as a by-product (inefficient) of the classic model. Against this approach, the article defends the potential contribution of the part-time farming -and the externalisation of services associated to the same- to the process of innovation and modernization of the agrarian structures. To show that the literature is reviewed critically adopting a microeconomic and territorial perspective and outlining a transaction costs and evolutionary approach. Using statistical information and qualitative information coming from in-depth interviews, I compare the Valencian and Catalan citrus production organisation. As a result of the article, I obtain evidence of which the concatenation part-time farming-externalisation of tasks stimulates the structural change generating territorial trajectories that can in certain cases converge towards the «classic trajectory». Finally, the article allows to extract some important inferences of agrarian policy

description: We compute the distribution of the work done in stretching a Gaussian polymer, made of N monomers, at a finite rate. For a one-dimensional polymer undergoing Rouse dynamics, the work distribution is a Gaussian and we explicitly compute the mean and width. The two cases where the polymer is stretched, either by constraining its end or by constraining the force on it, are examined. We discuss connections to Jarzynski's equality and the fluctuation theorems.

description: Renewables should become more continuously available, reliable and cost efficient, while conventional sources and large consumers of heat and electricity should be more flexible and energy efficient - in turn relieving sources - to overcome the energy revolution. Thus process and constructional layouts of two test benches for experimental validation of a concept called the Advanced Regenerator - a highly flexible, short to long term fluidized bed regenerative heat storage utilizing a pressure gradient for hot powder transport and hence enabling minimal losses, high energy densities, compact construction and countercurrent heat exchange - are performed in this thesis. Such devices in decentralized setup - being included in every energy- and especially heat-intensive industry, storing heat or power-to-heat while electricity prices are low and again returning heat to temporally displaced processes or returning 30 % electricity with Stirling engines, where heat is not needed - can well achieve above stated goals. The means for those steps performed are analytic process and thermodynamic rough layout calculations, Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics (CPFD) software and the programming languages Matlab and Python for coding. In the process a method enabling a convenient co-simulation of an Advanced Regenerator with a controller script adjusting a CPFD software is developed, forming the basis for design geometry and execution of further partially automated and controlled simulations.

description: The emerging field of twistronics, which harnesses the twist angle between two-dimensional materials, represents a promising route for the design of quantum materials, as the twist-angle-induced superlattices offer means to control topology and strong correlations. At the small twist limit, and particularly under strain, as atomic relaxation prevails, the emergent moiré superlattice encodes elusive insights into the local interlayer interaction. Here we introduce moiré metrology as a combined experiment-theory framework to probe the stacking energy landscape of bilayer structures at the 0.1 meV/atom scale, outperforming the gold-standard of quantum chemistry. Through studying the shapes of moiré domains with numerous nano-imaging techniques, and correlating with multi-scale modelling, we assess and refine first-principle models for the interlayer interaction. We document the prowess of moiré metrology for three representative twisted systems: bilayer graphene, double bilayer graphene and H-stacked $MoSe_2/WSe_2$. Moiré metrology establishes sought after experimental benchmarks for interlayer interaction, thus enabling accurate modelling of twisted multilayers.

description: In the spirit of very recent articles by J. Bonet, W. Lusky and J. Taskinen we are studying the so-called solid hulls and cores of spaces of weighted entire functions when the weights are given in terms of associated weight functions coming from weight sequences. These sequences are required to satisfy certain (standard) growth and regularity properties which are frequently arising and used in the theory of ultradifferentiable and ultraholomorphic function classes (where also the associated weight function plays a prominent role). Thanks to this additional information we are able to see which growth behavior the so-called "Lusky-numbers", arising in the representations of the solid hulls and cores, have to satisfy resp. if such numbers can exist.

description: La percepción sobre el país de origen de un producto es uno de los principales determinantes de la evaluación y elección de dicho producto, sobre todo en los mercados foráneos. En la literatura de marketing existen múltiples trabajos que han analizado este aspecto, si bien la mayor parte de ellos se han centrado en productos duraderos de alta implicación. Este trabajo analiza la importancia que el atributo país de origen tiene en el proceso de evaluación del consumidor para el caso de la compra de hortalizas, utilizando, para ello, un análisis conjunto de preferencias. Los resultados indican que si bien el país de origen tiene importancia en el proceso de evaluación del consumidor, existen otros aspectos del producto hortícola –en particular la frescura-, que tienen una mayor importancia relativa para el consumidor. The perception about the country of origin of a product is a major determinant of the evaluation and selection of the product, especially in foreign markets. In marketing literature there are many studies that have examined this issue, although most of them have focused on durable goods of high involvement. This paper analyzes the importance of the attribute country of origin in consumer evaluation process for the case of buying vegetables. In order to do so, a conjoint analysis is developed. Results show that in spite of country of origin is an important aspect into consumer’s evaluation process, there are other aspects of vegetables (e.g., freshness), showing a greater relative importance.
