description: Traditional food products (TFPs) represent an important part of each European Member State’s cultural heritage and provide critical economic inputs to many regions via their production and sale. Nevertheless, a major challenge for the traditional food sector is to improve its competitiveness by applying innovations while at the same time maintaining traditionalism. Therefore, modernization of all aspects of the traditional food sector is necessary with special emphasis on the integrity of chains (EC, 2007). This illustrates a need for a chain strategy for the traditional food sector in the EU. Despite this recognition, the actual development of such chain strategies lags behind because of some particular issues which still needs to be addressed (e.g. vision, mission, values or action plans). This paper focuses on three key bottlenecks in relation to the development of a chain vision for the European traditional food sector, namely 1) integrating chain members’ goals, 2) selecting a minimum set of key goals and 3) balancing between rational and intuitive thinking. We refer to a chain as a set of three directly connected organizations (supplier, focal company, customer) being involved in the upstream and downstream flows of products, services, finances, information and/or knowledge adapted from Mentzer et al. (2001). The three directly connected organizations (supplier, focal company, customer) are referred as chain members in the rest of the article. A chain vision can be defined as the a statement of the desired future state of the chains being subject of chain vision development adapted from Raynor (1998).

description: The highly personal nature of physical pain is challenging to communicate to others, which makes diagnosis and treatment difficult for those who suffer from chronicillness. Issues of the body are traditionally described in scientific language which overlooks the lived experience of those with this illness. This biological gaze of illnessfails to include social and cultural influences on chronic disease. Despite the difficulty of expressing pain, metaphor and imagery can effectively articulate the invisible toone’s self and others. How might design create opportunities to consider a more nuanced approach to articulating symptoms of chronic illness? Currently, people who suffer from autoimmune arthritic conditions experience bias from health care providers leading to delayed diagnosis. In my thesis I will explore how design methods can give a voice tothe daily pain of arthritis sufferers. Health trackers such as Fitbit have grown in popularity in recent years, but such toolsoften reduce wellness to a number. My intervention borrows from self-tracking and builds on it by incorporating metaphor and visual storytelling. Early experiments showed that capturing embodied experiences through imagery and words allowed people to quickly identify their lived experience. This process also supports reflectionand story-telling, inspiring empathy and better conversations. Based on these experiments, I have prototyped a diary kit which enables health self-tracking while creating visual metaphors, empowering users to use their data to visualize barriers and limitations affecting daily life. Further testing will be conducted with people who suffer from arthritis to learn how the diary kit affects their awareness of pain and ability to articulate it to others. I predict this testing would show improved self-management which could result in better care.

description: This study explores consumer demand for organic milk products (OMP) and prospective developments in OMP supply chain in Portugal. Consumer demand is approached through a survey accomplished with a stratified sample of 625 consumers from the Porto Metropolitan area (north Portugal), whose population provides a broad representation of Portuguese. Likely future developments in the Portuguese OMP supply chain are established for 2015 time horizon through the Delphi technique, using a panel of 27 qualified experts from different professional backgrounds. Results show inter alia that there are among consumers significant lack of knowledge and conceptual distortion about the organic notion. Cluster analysis has led to the detection of three differentiated consumer groups. Besides, over the coming years Portugal presumably will not be capable to produce sufficient organic milk to satisfy its domestic demand which probably will reach 5% of total milk consumption by 2015 (face to 1.25% in 2008); therefore resorting to importation will continue. Moreover, average willingness to pay for OMP is expected to be by that horizon around 22% more than for conventional counterparts. For the Portuguese OMP industry, improving production efficiency and adopting best management practices appear to be prerequisite for achieving business sustainability and competitiveness.

description: This article analyzes the incentives and compensation problems faced by cellulosic ethanol producer and logging firms and the consequent impact on the organization of the wood based cellulosic ethanol industry in the US. The success of this relationship is central to setting up the biofuel industry in Michigan and in the US at large. The theoretical results indicate that specification contract under the principal-agent framework is of limited utility due to’ metering’ problem when the principal contracts with multiple agents for the supply of feedstock.. Alternative arrangements including JVs have the potential to provide close to first best solutions.

description: The low $x$ behaviour of the gluon density $xg(x,μ^2)$ at scale $μ^2=2.4$ GeV$^2$ is determined using exclusive $J/ψ$ production data from HERA and LHCb within the framework of collinear factorisation at next-to-leading order (NLO). It is shown that in the interval $3\times 10^{-6} < x <10^{-3}$ the gluon distribution function grows as $xg(x,μ^2)\propto x^{-λ}$ with $λ=0.135\pm 0.006 $. The impact this experimental data will have for the global parton distribution function (PDF) analyses in this low $x$ domain is quantified. No indication in favour of parton density saturation is observed.

description: Using data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we started a series of investigations on the Upsilon(5S) resonance decay properties. The data sample used for this analysis consists of 0.42 fb-1 of data taken on the Upsilon(5S) resonance, 6.34 fb-1 of data collected on the Upsilon(4S) and 2.32 fb-1 of data taken in the continuum below the Upsilon(4S). B_s mesons are expected to decay predominantly into D_s meson, while the lighter B mesons decay into D_s only about 10% of the time. We exploit this difference to make a preliminary model dependent estimate of the ratio of B_s(*) anti-B_s(*) to the total b anti-b quark pair production at the Upsilon(5S) energy to be (21 +- 3 +- 9)%.

The rate of detection of the infected carriers is taken dependent on the tests done per day. The model is applied for the COVID outbreak in Germany and South Korea to validate its predictive capabilities and then applied to India and the United States for the prediction of its spread with different lockdown situations and testing in the coming months.

Schroedinger functional formalism with Ginsparg-Wilson fermion
Creators: name: Taniguchi, Yusuke
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Schroedinger functional formalism is given as a field theory in a finite volume with a Dirichlet boundary condition in temporal direction. When one tries to construct this formalism with the Ginsparg-Wilson fermion including the overlap Dirac operator and the domain-wall fermion one easily runs into difficulties. The reason is that if the Dirichlet boundary condition is simply imposed on the Wilson Dirac operator $DW$ inside of the overlap Dirac operator an exponentially small eigenvalue appears in $DW$, which affects the locality properties of the operator. In this paper we propose a new procedure to impose the Schroedinger functional Dirichlet boundary condition on the overlap Dirac operator using an orbifolding projection.

description: We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed string fluxes in type II theories. We start by reviewing the supersymmetric flux configurations with maximally symmetric four-dimensional spaces. We then discuss the no-go theorems (and their evasion) for compactifications with fluxes. We analyze the resulting four-dimensional effective theories, as well as some of its perturbative and non-perturbative corrections, focusing on moduli stabilization. Finally, we briefly review statistical studies of flux backgrounds.

description: The search for dark matter, the missing mass of the Universe, is one of the most active fields of study within particle physics. The XENON1T experiment recently observed a 3.5$σ$ excess potentially consistent with dark matter, or with solar axions. Here, we will use the Noble Element Simulation Technique (NEST) software to simulate the XENON1T detector, reproducing the excess. We utilize different detector efficiency and energy reconstruction models, but they primarily impact sub-keV energies and cannot explain the XENON1T excess. However, using NEST, we can reproduce their excess in multiple, unique ways, most easily via the addition of 31$\pm$11 $^{37}Ar$ decays. Furthermore, this results in new, modified background models, reducing the significance of the excess to $\le2.2σ$ at least using non-Profile Likelihood Ratio (PLR) methods. This is independent confirmation that the excess is a real effect, but potentially explicable by known physics. Many cross-checks of our $^{37}Ar$ hypothesis are presented.

The McKay conjecture asserts that $G$ and the normalizer in $G$ of a Sylow $p$-subgroup have equal numbers of irreducible characters with degrees not divisible by $p$. The Alperin-McKay conjecture is a version of this as applied to individual Brauer $p$-blocks of $G$. We offer evidence that perhaps much stronger forms of both of these conjectures are true.

description: The objective of this study is to investigate potential market power exertion in the output market of the ethanol-producing sector using the Solow Residual-Based (SRB) test and its different modalities (primal and primal-dual). The markup estimates (Lerner’s index) obtained using ethanol imports and processed crudel oil as instrumental variables to estimate the primal SRB are compared to the primal-dual SRB estimates. For both approaches, a statistically significant positive markup was estimated implying the presense of market power exertion. Both markup estimates are relatively close to each other.

description: We report preliminary results of a Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory (WChPT) analysis of twisted mass lattice QCD data. The quenched data, previously published by two different groups, was generated with two definitions for the critical quark mass and shows a strong non-linear quark mass dependence for small quark masses for the pion mass definition (``bending phenomenon''). We find that WChPT describes this characteristic curvature fairly well. Fits to the data provide estimates for combinations of low-energy parameters, even though the errors are sizable.

Keeping promises : strong democracy for a new writing workshop class
Creators: name: Inglis, Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The writing workshop is a popular approach to writing instruction in elementary and secondary schools. This is true, in part, because its principles and methods reflect writing as practiced by real authors, but also because its advocates suggest that by using a workshop approach teachers can develop the values of good citizenship in their students and promote democratic communities in their classrooms. This study does not dispute that a workshop approach used to teach writing as a process and balanced with more systematic instruction in written conventions can improve students' writing competencies and increase their confidence in writing performances. However, it finds misleading the second claim that the workshop helps teachers engender citizenship and promote community in preparing students for democracy and suggests that a workshop can prove counterproductive in achieving these objectives.. Philosophical and theoretical in nature, this study outlines the concept of "strong democracy" argued by Benjamin Barber and argues for its application in new, strong democratic workshop classrooms that will allow teachers to better prepare students for citizenship and to establish the type of classroom community necessary for achieving this important goal.

description: We study the effect of thermal fluctuations in a recently proposed protocol for transmission of unknown quantum states through quantum spin chains. We develop a low temperature expansion for general spin chains. We then apply this formalism to study exactly thermal effects on short spin chains of four spins. We show that optimal times for extraction of output states are almost independent of the temperature which lowers only the fidelity of the channel. Moreover we show that thermal effects are smaller in the anti-ferromagnetic chains than the ferromagnetic ones.

description: This paper develops a pollution model of trade in differentiated goods. Our analyses show the following: first, the production of dirty, differentiated goods is explicitly shown to lead to three environmental effects: scale, technique and selection effects. Second, we present a comparative statics analysis of the effects of a change in the stringency of environmental policy on the firm’s level of abatement, the price level, the consumption level, the scale of production and the number of firms in the economy. Third, we examine the relationship between openness to trade and the environment. The impact of intra-industry trade is shown to be the sum of the scale, technique and selection effects. Fourth, we undertake an empirical analysis to test the integrated theoretical predictions of the pollution models of intra-industry as wells as inter-industry trade. We use panel-data from 23 OECD countries, for the years 1995-2004. Statistical evidence suggests the following. First, the emissions of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds are increasing in the selection, scale, technique and composition effects. Second, the selection effect is an important and relevant variable in the estimation of the full impact of international trade on emissions level; its omission may lead to biased estimations. Third, results conform to the realizations of data generated by the framework of intra-industry as well as inter-industry trade. Fourth, greater openness to trade or increased trade liberalization leads to a decrease in emissions level.

description: The automatic analysis of face images can generate predictions about a person's gender, age, race, facial expression, body mass index, and various other indices and conditions. A few recent publications have claimed success in analyzing an image of a person's face in order to predict the person's status as Criminal / Non-Criminal. Predicting criminality from face may initially seem similar to other facial analytics, but we argue that attempts to create a criminality-from-face algorithm are necessarily doomed to fail, that apparently promising experimental results in recent publications are an illusion resulting from inadequate experimental design, and that there is potentially a large social cost to belief in the criminality from face illusion.

description: We present an all-optical mass spectrometry technique to identify trapped ions. The new method uses laser-cooled ions to determine the mass of a cotrapped dark ion with a sub-dalton resolution within a few seconds. We apply the method to identify the first controlled synthesis of cold, trapped $\mathrm{RaOH}^+$ and ${\mathrm{RaOCH}_3}^+$. These molecules are promising for their sensitivity to time and parity violations that could constrain sources of new physics beyond the standard model. The nondestructive nature of the mass spectrometry technique may help identify molecular ions or highly charged ions prior to optical spectroscopy. Unlike previous mass spectrometry techniques for small ion crystals that rely on scanning, the method uses a Fourier transform which is inherently broadband and comparatively fast. The technique's speed provides new opportunities for studying state-resolved chemical reactions in ion traps.

description: Despite the advantages cloning could bring to the livestock industries and the regulatory assessments by both domestic and international government agencies, there continues to be concern about the marketability of the technology on a consumer level. In this paper, we examine attitudes to the use of cloning in animal food production among samples of US and European college students. We compare expressed levels of concern about cloning to concerns about other food quality issues and find correlation with lower likelihoods of consuming cloned product. Furthermore we correlate attitudes toward cloning and willingness to purchase cloned products to individual characteristics including not only socio-demographic variables (gender, household income, farming background) but also attitudinal variables. While the data collection is restricted to undergraduate student samples, we believe the comparison across locations provide interesting findings.

description: We study (anti-) coordination problems in networks in a laboratory experiment. Partici- pants interact with their neighbours in a fixed network to play a bilateral (anti-) coordination game. Our main treatment variable is the extent to which players are heterogeneous in the number of connections (neighbors) they have. Other network characteristics are held constant across treatments. We find the following results. Heterogeneity in the number of connections dramatically improves the rate of successful coordination. In addition, even though there is a multiplicity of Nash equilibria theoretically, a very sharp selection is observed empirically: the most connected player can impose her preferred Nash equilibrium almost always and observed Nash equilibria are such that all links are coordinated. As a second treatment variation we let agents decide endogenously on the amount of information they would like to have and find that local (endogenous) information is equally efficient in ensuring successful coordination as full information. We provide an intuitive explanation of these facts which is supported by our data.

description: Most terrestrial biological invasions occur in landscapes comprising numerous, independently managed properties. Thus, control of invasion spread generally depends on the choices of many managers, each deciding the extent to control invasions on their property. Here we develop a spatially-explicit, integrated model of invasion spread and human behavior to examine how people’s control choices under laissez-faire affect patterns of invasion spread and the total costs and damages imposed by an invader. We evaluate how characteristics of the bioeconomic and social system, including the extent of cooperation among managers, affect the divergence between socially optimal and private control efforts. We find that system-wide invasion externalities generally increase with the potential range size of an invader and with marginal damages from invasion and decrease with marginal control costs and with the size of the invasion when it is discovered. As expected, private control decisions tend to under-control the invasion relative to socially optimal control. However, we also find that less extensive cooperation is needed to control invasions whose costs and damages otherwise lead to the largest externalities. This novel finding suggests that even small amounts of cooperation can avoid some of the worst invasion outcomes and coordination of control can provide large social benefits. This research highlights the importance of human behavior for affecting invasion spread and economic outcomes.

description: This paper examines the short-run and the long-run oil price sensitivity of Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan equity returns using industry share price indices that are common between at least two countries. A generalised method of moments based approach is applied to a market model augmented by an oil price factor. Results are estimated using both domestic and US dollar oil prices. Several industries (e.g. chemicals, engineering and machinery, food processors and transport) are found to be statistically significantly sensitive to the oil price factor in the long run, whereas no such sensitivity is detected in the short run. Our results indicate that longer period return generating intervals might offer a better setting in which to explore the oil price sensitivity of stock market returns in the South Asian markets. Currency of measurement of oil price appears to be irrelevant.

description: The recent rise in food prices has increased the concern about the choice of a healthy food basket, especially in the context of the discussion around the formulation of a National Food Policy for Scotland. This concern has brought back the interest in the price and expenditure demand systems as they provide information about consumers’ food decisions. The paper focuses on the consumption of brown and white bread, as they are the most typical ways of cereals use in the UK and nutritionists recommend the consumption of wholemeal or brown bread in contraposition to white bread as part of an appropriate diet due to its health benefits. This paper aims to answer whether changes in bread prices affect the quantity and composition of the Scottish demand for bread, and whether the latter has been the same for different regions and socioeconomic groups. We used supermarket scanner data to estimate three demand systems and compute their elasticities. All the models showed statistically significant own price and expenditure elasticities. After simulating an increase in all the bread prices we found that brown bread consumption decreases more than white bread just the opposite to what is recommended by the nutritionists.

description: Power system dynamic state estimation (DSE) remains an active research area. This is driven by the absence of accurate models, the increasing availability of fast-sampled, time-synchronized measurements, and the advances in the capability, scalability, and affordability of computing and communications. This paper discusses the advantages of DSE as compared to static state estimation, and the implementation differences between the two, including the measurement configuration, modeling framework and support software features. The important roles of DSE are discussed from modeling, monitoring and operation aspects for today's synchronous machine dominated systems and the future power electronics-interfaced generation systems. Several examples are presented to demonstrate the benefits of DSE on enhancing the operational robustness and resilience of 21st century power system through time critical applications. Future research directions are identified and discussed, paving the way for developing the next generation of energy management systems.

description: We report an experiment to generate maximally entangled states of D-dimensional quantum systems, qudits, by using transverse spatial correlations of two parametric down-converted photons. Apertures with D-slits in the arms of the twin fotons define the qudit space. By manipulating the pump beam correctly the twin photons will pass only by symmetrically opposite slits, generating entangled states between these differents paths. Experimental results for qudits with D=4 and D=8 are shown. We demonstrate that the generated states are entangled states.

description: Synthesis, crystal and electronic structure, and physical properties of the Mo$_6$Ga$_{31}$ endohedral cluster superconductor are reported. The compound has two crystallographic modifications, monoclinic and triclinic, in which the same {Mo$_{12}$Ga$_{62}$} building units are perpendicular or codirectional to each other, respectively. Monoclinic and triclinic structures of Mo$_6$Ga$_{31}$ possess qualitatively the same electronic density of states showing a high peak at the Fermi level. Both modifications are inherently present in the bulk specimen. Due to the proximity effect, bulk Mo$_6$Ga$_{31}$ exhibits single superconducting transition at the critical temperature of 8.2 K in zero magnetic field. The upper critical field, which is 7.8 T at zero temperature, shows clear enhancement with respect to the Werthamer-Helfand-Honenberg prediction. Accordingly, heat capacity measurements indicate strong electron-phonon coupling in the superconducting state with the large ratio of $2Δ(0)/(k_BT_c)=4.5$, where 2$Δ(0)$ is the full superconducting gap at zero temperature.

description: This paper addresses two hot topics of the contemporary debate, social capital and economic growth. Our theoretical analysis sheds light on decisive but so far neglected issues: how does social capital accumulate over time? Which is the relationship between social capital, technical progress and economic growth in the long run? The analysis shows that the economy may be attracted by alternative steady states, depending on the initial social capital endowments and cultural exogenous parameters representing the relevance of social interaction and trust in well-being and production. When material consumption and relational goods are substitutable, the choice to devote more and more time to private activities may lead the economy to a “social poverty trap”, where the cooling of human relations causes a progressive destruction of the entire stock of social capital. In this case, the relationship of social capital with technical progress is described by an inverted U-shaped curve. However, the possibility exists for the economy to follow a virtuous trajectory where the stock of social capital endogenously and unboundedly grows. Such result may follow from a range of particular conditions, under which the economy behaves as if there was no substitutability between relational activities and material consumption.

description: This is when the Jews seem to have taken up a major role in Goa’s transoceanic trade. But what we see then is not just a role in trade; they seem to have assumed a relationship with the ruling elite that went beyond trade. They were the financers, informants, interpreters and messengers, taking an active part in the ambitious imperial designs of the rulers. They took sides and mediated between the warring rulers; always as a quid-pro-quo. It is then that they acquired the clout.

The 2+1 charged black hole in topologically massive Electrodynamics

description: The 2+1 black hole coupled to a Maxwell field can be charged in two different ways. On the one hand, it can support a Coulomb field whose potential grows logarithmically in the radial coordinate. On the other, due to the existence of a non-contractible cycle, it also supports a topological charge whose value is given by the corresponding Abelian holonomy. Only the Coulomb charge, however, is given by a constant flux integral with an associated continuity equation. The topological charge does not gravitate and is somehow decoupled from the black hole. This situation changes abruptly if one turns on the Chern-Simons term for the Maxwell field. First, the flux integral at infinity becomes equal to the topological charge. Second, demanding regularity of the black hole horizon, it is found that the Coulomb charge (whose associated potential now decays by a power law) must vanish identically. Hence, in 2+1 topologically massive electrodynamics coupled to gravity, the black hole can only support holonomies for the Maxwell field. This means that the charged black hole, as the uncharged one, is constructed from the vacuum by means of spacetime identifications.

description: Humans are multi-sensory beings who make sense of theworld via multiple sensory modalities. However, most everyday technologies, including smartphones, tablets, and personal computers, often fail to engage all the senses effectively. Instead, vision is heavily relied on to interface with everyday technologies, and as a result, it is disproportionately stimulated when compared to the rest of our senses. This hegemony of vision in design not only excludes the visually challenged but imbalanced sensory experiences also create sensory overload and fatigue inthose who are not. Limiting the senses that are engaged while interfacing with digital devices also increases the cognitive burden placed on the user. When complex information is conveyed unimodally in highly stimulating environments, people must expend a large amount ofenergy and cognitive resources to attend to and grasp information to commit it to memory and recall it.This thesis aims to address contemporary sensory imbalance challenges by investigating and hypothesizing effective and accessible multimodal interfaces for everyday technologies and providing considerations for designers who seek to leverage multiple senses to convey information. Given the fact that taste often requires people to consume substances, the effects are difficult to control when designing for larger populations. Therefore, this thesis intentionally focuses on designing for touch, smell, hearing, and vision as a means of creating experiences that effectively disperse the intake of information across multiplesenses. In particular, it aims to investigate how interactionswith everyday technology can be designed to effectively engage the senses beyond vision to create balanced, immersive, and inclusive experiences.
