description: Studies of trapped quantum gases of bosons and of fermions have opened up a new range of many-body problems, having a strong overlap with nuclear and neutron star physics. Topics discussed here include: the Bose yrast problem -- how many-particle Bose systems carry extreme amounts of angular momentum; the infrared divergent structure of the transition to Bose condensation in a weakly interacting system; and the physics of extremely strongly interacting Bose and Fermi systems, in the scale-free regime where the two body s-wave scattering lengths are large compared with the interparticle spacing. Such a regime is realized experimentally through use of atomic Feshbach resonances. Finally we discuss creation of BCS-paired states in trapped Fermi gases.

description: Dairy production in the US has experienced a marked increase in the size of dairy operations over time. Even as total production has grown over time, smaller operations have been disappearing. Consequently, the viability of smaller dairy farms has become an important policy concern in regions like the Mid-Atlantic where small dairy farms account for a significant share of farm enterprises. Previous studies suggest that dairy farming based on intensive (rotational) grazing, as opposed to traditional confined-feeding operations, may make it possible for smaller operations to remain economically viable. However, the short term nature of the data used in these studies limits the robustness of these findings. We utilize a unique panel of financial data collected during a 15-year-long extension program in Maryland, which allows us to investigate relative performances of intensive grazing operations with more robustness and more in depth than previous studies. We compare technical efficiency, profitability, and risk in intensive grazing and confinement dairy operations. Using year-by-year data envelopment analysis, we assess returns to scale and compare intensive grazing and confinement systems in terms of technical efficiency. A test of returns to scale suggested by Simar and Wilson (2002) shows that constant returns to scale cannot be rejected, indicating that smaller farms are not necessarily at disadvantage at least in the observed range of operation scale in our data. A comparison of technical efficiency using non-parametric tests and regression indicates that grazers are as technically efficient as conventional confinement operators. A test of second order stochastic dominance suggested by Barrett and Donald (2003) shows that profitability is less risky in intensive grazing than in confinement operations. Overall, these results indicate that intensive (rotational) grazing is a promising approach for improving both the economic and environmental sustainability of dairy farming in regions like the Mid-Atlantic where the climate allows a relatively lengthy grazing season.

description: Fluctuations in the brightness of the background radiation can lead to confusion with real point sources. Such background emission confusion will be important for infrared observations with relatively large beam sizes since the amount of fluctuation tends to increase with angular scale. In order to quantitively assess the effect of the background emission on the detection of point sources for current and future far-infrared observations by space-borne missions such as Spitzer, ASTRO-F, Herschel and SPICA, we have extended the Galactic emission map to higher angular resolution than the currently available data. Using this high resolution map, we estimate the sky confusion noise due to the emission from interstellar dust clouds or cirrus, based on fluctuation analysis and detailed photometry over realistically simulated images. We find that the confusion noise derived by simple fluctuation analysis agrees well with the result from realistic simulations. Although the sky confusion noise becomes dominant in long wavelength bands (> 100 um) with 60 - 90cm aperture missions, it is expected to be two order of magnitude smaller for the next generation space missions with larger aperture sizes such as Herschel and SPICA.

We attempt to access the particle physics reach of these experiments.

description: New optical photometric and spectroscopic data of the bright hypernova SN 2002ap are presented. The obtained BVRI light curves as well as the optical spectra agree well with other published data series. The distance has been inferred by applying the Expanding Photosphere Method for the data around maximum. The derived 6.7 Mpc is in good agreement with recent photometric distances of M74. However, the total (random plus systematic) uncertainty of the EPM-distance is at least 4.5 Mpc (about 70 %). The physical parameters of the SN have been determined via simplified analytic models of the light and velocity curves. It is confirmed that SN 2002ap was a less energetic hypernova, the kinetic energy was 4 - 8 10^51 erg, and the reddening-free absolute bolometric magnitude reached -16.63 mag (corresponding to L_bol = 3.47 10^8 L_solar), about 2 magnitude less than the prototype hypernova SN 1998bw.

description: We analyse the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) for the Poincare dodecahedron which is an example for a multi-connected spherical universe. We compare the temperature correlation function and the angular power spectrum for the Poincare dodecahedral universe with the first-year WMAP data and find that this multi-connected universe can explain the surprisingly low CMB anisotropy on large scales found by WMAP provided that the total energy density parameter Omega_tot is in the range 1.016...1.020. The ensemble average over the primordial perturbations is assumed to be the scale-invariant Harrison-Zel'dovich spectrum. The circles-in-the-sky signature is studied and it is found that the signal of the six pairs of matched circles could be missed by current analyses of CMB sky maps.

description: We present a $^{209}$Bi and $^{17}$O NMR study of the Mn electron spin correlations developed in the charge ordered state of Bi$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ and Bi$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$. The unusually large local magnetic field $^{209}H_{loc}$ indicates the dominant $6s^{2}$ character of the lone electron pair of Bi$^{3+}$-ions in both compounds. The mechanism connecting the $s$ character of the lone pairs to the high temperature of charge ordering $T_{CO}$ is still not clarified. The observed difference in $^{209}H_{loc}$ for Bi$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ to Bi$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ is probably due to a decrease in the canting of the staggered magnetic moments of Mn$^{3+}$-ions from. The modification of the $^{17}$O spectra below $T_{CO}$ demonstrates that the line due to the apical oxygens is a unique local tool to study the development of the Mn spin correlations. In the AF state the analysis of the $^{17}$O spectrum of Pr$_{0.5}$Ca$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ and Bi$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$ prompts us to try two different theoretical descriptions of the charge-ordered state, a site-centered model for the first manganite and a bond-centered model for the second one.

description: Reduction of carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) has been identified as a cost effective element of the post-Kyoto strategy to achieve long-term climate objectives. The success of REDD depends primarily on the design and implementation of a financial mechanism that provides land-holders sufficient incentives to participate in a REDD scheme. This paper proposes relational contracting as a more appropriate framework for analyzing proposed REDD incentive regimes rather than that of complete contracting enforcement because relational contracting relies upon mutual self-enforcement in a repeated transaction framework, which better suits the stylized facts of REDD. We characterize the optimal REDD relational contract and provide the parameters under which self-enforcement is sustainable. The optimal payment scheme suggests that all payments should be made contingent on the carbon offsets delivered. Thus, the optimal contract does not observe any fixed ex ante payment. Self-enforcement is more difficult to sustain the higher the cost of forest conservation is relative to the value of the carbon offsets from the contract. Necessary extensions to the relational contracting model are also discussed.
Effective three-body interactions in the alpha-cluster model for the ^{12}C nucleus

description: Properties of the lowest $0^{+}$ states of $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ are calculated to study the role of three-body interactions in the $α$-cluster model. An additional short-range part of the local three-body potential is introduced to incorporate the effects beyond the $α$-cluster model. There is enough freedom in this potential to reproduce the experimental values of the ground-state and excited-state energies and the ground-state root-mean-square radius. The calculations reveal two principal choices of the two-body and three-body potentials. Firstly, one can adjust the potentials to obtain the width of the excited $0_2^+$ state and the monopole $0_2^+ \to 0_1^+ $ transition matrix element in good agreement with the experimental data. In this case, the three-body potential has strong short-range attraction supporting a narrow resonance above the $0_2^+$ state, the excited-state wave function contains a significant short-range component, and the excited-state root-mean-square radius is comparable to that of the ground state. Next, rejecting the solutions with an additional narrow resonance, one finds that the excited-state width and the monopole transition matrix element are insensitive to the choice of the potentials and both values exceed the experimental ones.

description: This paper addresses changes in capital formation by testing the importance of location factors with respect to the rate of establishment births and deaths in U.S. manufacturing, 2000–2004. A theoretical concept called “localized creative destruction” is tested as a mechanism to explain the dynamics impacting the spatial distribution of manufacturing establishment birth and death rates. While no support of this process was found, results identify a convergence process occurring where counties with high initial birth/death rates have smaller changes in firm birth and death rates. The interpretation is that counties become more equally competitive in terms of firm formation dynamics in lieu of successful counties increasing their lead in the short run. This is potentially relevant to policymakers and economic development practitioners who are concerned with business retention and the impact of new manufacturing establishments on their existing base.

description: The general objective of this study was to analyze the effect of labeling information on farmers’ herbicide choice. Herbicide choices made by farmers were used to estimate their willingness to pay for different herbicide attributes. Estimation results indicate that human health and environmental statements displayed on pesticide labels (which reflect higher level of risk) are important components in herbicide selection. For example, it is estimated that farmers are willing to pay, on average, $27 per acre to avoid using an herbicide with the word “Warning” and $38 per acre to avoid using an herbicide with the word “Danger.”

Morphological Disambiguation from Stemming Data

subject: I.2.7

description: Morphological analysis and disambiguation is an important task and a crucial preprocessing step in natural language processing of morphologically rich languages. Kinyarwanda, a morphologically rich language, currently lacks tools for automated morphological analysis. While linguistically curated finite state tools can be easily developed for morphological analysis, the morphological richness of the language allows many ambiguous analyses to be produced, requiring effective disambiguation. In this paper, we propose learning to morphologically disambiguate Kinyarwanda verbal forms from a new stemming dataset collected through crowd-sourcing. Using feature engineering and a feed-forward neural network based classifier, we achieve about 89% non-contextualized disambiguation accuracy. Our experiments reveal that inflectional properties of stems and morpheme association rules are the most discriminative features for disambiguation.

The first part of this paper uses the most recently available data from BLS to examine the geography of the recession. We focus on the similarities and differences in the recession’s impact on nonmetropolitan and metropolitan counties, and counties with different economic and demographic characteristics. The second part looks at the Federal response to the recession in the form of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Using publicly available data, we explore how these funds are being allocated across rural and urban counties and county classifications, and the potential implications of these funds on local rural labor markets and economies as a whole.

description: We have obtained mosaic images of NGC 6822 in V and I bands on 77 nights. From these data, we have conducted an extensive search for Cepheid variables over the entire field of the galaxy, and we have found 116 such variables with periods ranging from 1.7 to 124 days. We used the long-period ($>$ 5.6 days) Cepheids to establish the period-luminosity relations in V, I and in the reddening-independent Wesenheit index, which are all very tightly defined. Fitting the OGLE LMC slopes in the various bands to our data, we have derived distance values for NGC 6822 in V, I and ${\rm W}_{\rm I}$ which agree very well among themselves. Our adopted best distance value from the reddening-free Wesenheit index is 23.34 $\pm$ 0.04 (statistical) $\pm$ 0.05 (systematic) mag. This value agrees within the combined 1 sigma uncertainties with a previous distance value derived for NGC 6822 by McAlary et al. from near-IR photometry of 9 Cepheids, but our new value is significantly more accurate. We compare the slopes of the Cepheid PL relation in V and I as determined in the five best-observed nearby galaxies, which span a metallicity range from -1.0 to -0.3 dex, and find the data consistent with no metallicity dependence of the PL relation slope in this range. Comparing the magnitudes of 10-day Cepheids with the I-band magnitudes of the TRGB in the same set of galaxies, there is no evidence either for a significant variation of the period-luminosity zero points in V and I. The available data limit such a zero point variation to less than 0.03 mag, in the considered low-metallicity regime.

Home as a place for providing health care : elderly care recipients’ experience
Creators: name: Sohoolian, Sohila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Home care is a relatively new field for rehabilitation professionals, including occupational therapists. Despite the "client-centered" practice guidelines, the focus of Occupational Therapy (OT) home care research has not been on the client's experience. This study aimed to gain insight into the care recipients' experiences of home care Occupational Therapy (OT) services particularly home modifications recommended by occupational therapists. In order to better understand the care recipients' experience of home care OT, observation of the home modifications and of living and housing conditions of the care recipients was made. A qualitative research approach was used to explore the individuals' experiences from their standpoint. Semi- structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with long-term home care recipients in the Greater Vancouver area. Observations of home modifications were carried out with the care recipients or their family members present. Two main themes emerged from the stories of the participants. The first theme 'The Importance of Home, Neighborhood and Community Resources' sets the context in which the participants of the study experienced home care OT services. Under this theme, socio-economic status, living and housing conditions, reliance on home care services and community resources and renegotiating the meaning of home and neighborhood are discussed. The second theme 'The Experience of Home Care Occupational Therapy' describes the impact of OT services on the participants' daily lives, the role of occupational therapists as a source of knowledge, advocate and social support. The participants described their experiences of home care OT services as positive and enabling. However, their emphasis of OT services depended on their living, housing Conditions and the level of community resources (formal and/or informal) available to them. Occupational therapists played multiple roles of expert, social support and advocate for those participants with low income and no family or limited social contact. The conceptual bases of the study are drawn from occupational therapy's client-centered approach, feminist sociology and social geography. Individual-focused practice, the importance of everyday life experiences in generating knowledge and the importance of "the space" and "the place" in shaping the experience of disability are the central themes of these conceptual approaches. The findings of the study inform the above theoretical concepts. Issues related to client-centered practice and enabling environments are discussed in this paper. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are outlined.

description: We prove that all minimal symplectic four-manifolds are essentially irreducible. We also clarify the relationship between holomorphic and symplectic minimality of Kähler surfaces. This leads to a new proof of the deformation-invariance of holomorphic minimality for complex surfaces with even first Betti number which are not Hirzebruch surfaces.

Halyzia tschitscherini Semenow, 1895: 142 (Type locality: Turkestan).— Mader 1926 (1934), p. 289 T. 56, fig. 3; Korschefsky 1932: 573; Bielawski 1960: 455; Ghorpade 1979a: 113–114; Poorani 2002a: 342.
Diagnosis. Length: 5.10–5.70 mm; width: 3.60–4.20 mm. Form elongate oval, dorsum moderately convex, glabrous. Ground colour ochreous to reddish brown in live specimens (Fig. 83a–f), straw yellow in preserved specimens, with creamy white to white maculae on pronotum and elytra as follows: pronotum with a pair of oblique oval lateral maculae and a bottle-shaped median macula; each elytron with seven maculae (Fig. 83a–g), arranged in a 2–5 pattern, forming two rows; lateral borders of pronotum and elytra transparent. Head (Fig. 84a) with narrow frons and large eyes having strongly divergent inner margins. Terminal maxillary palpomere elongate securiform and widest apically (Fig. 84a). Abdominal postcoxal line very short and incomplete (Fig. 84b). Male genitalia (Figs 83h–j, 84c–f), female genitalia (Fig. 84g) and spermatheca (Fig. 84h) as illustrated.
Distribution. India: Northwestern region (Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttarakhand); Pakistan; Afghanistan; Turkestan-Taschkent (? Turkmenistan), Kazachstan and Pamir (Bielawski 1960, 1963a).
Prey/associated habitat. Feeds on powdery mildew caused by Phyllactinia corylea on mulberry (Ilahi et al. 2011). Collected on mulberry (label data); attracted to fluorescent light (Ghorpade 1979a). Khan et al. (2007) reported it as ‘’feeding on scale insects on walnut trees’’ in Pakistan, which appears to be a doubtful record.
Seasonal occurrence. Collected in September, October (label data). Active during May–November and abundant during August–October in Pakistan (Hayat et al. 2017).
Notes. See Mader (1937), Bielawski (1960) and Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1982) for more details and description / illustrations. Ghorpade (1979a) first recorded it from India and it appears to be very common in the cooler parts of northwestern India. Illahi et al. (2011) studied its feeding potential on mulberry powdery mildew and found it to be promising for use as a biocontrol agent.

description: Hyperspectral images provide abundant spatial and spectral information that is very valuable for material detection in diverse areas of practical science. The high-dimensions of data lead to many processing challenges that can be addressed via existent spatial and spectral redundancies. In this paper, a sparse modeling framework is proposed for hyperspectral image classification. Spectral blocks are introduced to be used along with spatial groups to jointly exploit spectral and spatial redundancies. To reduce the computational complexity of sparse modeling, spectral blocks are used to break the high-dimensional optimization problems into small-size sub-problems that are faster to solve. Furthermore, the proposed sparse structure enables to extract the most discriminative spectral blocks and further reduce the computational burden. Experiments on three benchmark datasets, i.e., Pavia University Image and Indian Pines Image verify that the proposed method leads to a robust sparse modeling of hyperspectral images and improves the classification accuracy compared to several state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, the experiments demonstrate that the proposed method requires less processing time.

description: Beef and pork prices at farm, wholesale and retail are examined for evidence of a dynamic and asymmetric price transmission using an endogenous switching model. Dynamic adjustment means that it take time for prices to adjust to changes in the market. Price transmission is asymmetric if the speed or completeness of price adjustment depends on the direction that the price or a related price is moving. Some of the previous research on price transmission in agricultural markets attempts to use market power abuses as an explanation of price-transmission asymmetry. Other research shows that price transmission asymmetry can arise in competitive markets and that competitive and anti-competitive issues can make prices adjust faster upwards or downwards. By making stronger assumptions about the how live animal production relates to meat production and consumption and on the cost structure of packing and retailing, stronger statements about price transmission and potential market-power problems can be made. Incomplete or irreversible price transmission can be taken as evidence of market power issues given these stronger assumptions. However, these assumptions must be true or the tests will not be valid. Two potential sources of incomplete-irreversible effects were included in the endogenous switching models. The only statistically significant evidence of incomplete price transmission is in the wholesale-to-retail transmission in pork. The estimates imply that the 89½% of wholesale price changes get passed to the retail price. In beef, price transmission was complete and pricing dynamics are symmetric.

description: We study the interplay between Dirac eigenmodes and center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. In particular we focus on vortex-removed configurations and compare them to an ensemble of configurations with random changes of the link variables. We show that removing the vortices destroys all zero modes and the near zero modes are no longer coupled to topological structures. The Dirac spectrum for vortex-removed configurations in many respects resembles a free spectrum thus leading to a vanishing chiral condensate. Configurations with random changes leave the topological features of the Dirac eigensystem intact. We finally show that smooth center vortex configurations give rise to zero modes and topological near zero modes.

description: Os problemas relacionados aos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) têm se mostrado um tema relevante, em escala global, por contribuir para com o Aquecimento Global e com as Mudanças Climáticas. Os RSU são considerados uma das principais fontes de emissões dos Gases Efeito Estufa (GEE), especialmente, o Metano (CH4), devido ao processo de decomposição da matéria orgânica. Entre as atividades de mitigação no setor de resíduos, a de grande destaque é a recuperação energética do CH4 emitido dos aterros sanitários. Diante desta problemática, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa é quantificar o potencial de geração de energia elétrica a partir das emissões de CH4. O lócus da pesquisa é o Aterro Sanitário Dom Antônio Barbosa II, situado no Município de Campo Grande/MS. Com base na metodologia sugerida pelo Painel Intergovernamental de Mudanças Climáticas, estimou-se a geração de CH4, determinou-se o potencial energético e propôs-se a utilização de sistema de motores de combustão interna – Ciclo Otto. Em análise projetou-se que o aterro alcançará sua emissão máxima a ser recuperado para geração de energia, 9.737,23 tCH4/ano, cujo potencial energético calculado será de 2,05 MW, se comparada as suas emissões de linha de base, ocorrerá uma redução de 75% destas emissões. A estimativa comprova a hipótese de que a recuperação energética do CH4 em Aterros Sanitários é uma estratégia válida para mitigação das emissões de GEE, minimizando as consequências negativas do Aquecimento Global e das Mudanças Climáticas. Espera-se que o resultado desta pesquisa contribua sobre as possibilidades de atividades para mitigação dos problemas relacionados ao impacto dos RSU ao meio ambiente e servir de instrumentos de tomada de decisões dos gestores públicos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Gestão Pública; Gás Efeito Estufa; Aquecimento Global, Mudanças Climáticas; Mecanismo de Desenvolvimento Limpo.
