description: Danish farmers have been far less interested in agri-environmental subsidy schemes than anticipated. We use choice experiments to estimate 486 Danish farmers’ preferences for a number of policy relevant scheme-characteristics. Subsidy schemes for pesticide free buffer zones along hedgerows are used as a case and analysed using a random parameter logit framework. By quantifying farmers’ preferences in monetary values, we are able to assess the relative importance of individual scheme-characteristics. Farmer’s assessments of the administrative burden are captured by estimating how they value free-of-charge assistance for the application procedure. To our knowledge, this measure of administrative burden has not been tested before. Our results indicate that payment size was perceived to be the most important scheme characteristic narrowly followed by flexible contract terms (an option to cancel the contract and contract length) and still of significant importance but less so are practical management restrictions (choice of buffer zone width, using fertilizer, and reduced administrative burden).

description: The climate change in the agricultural sector acting on multiple weather variables at different times of the various crop cycles. In several cases by changing the mean level of variables (rainfall, temperature, etc..), in other cases by changing the distribution of events. This work provides an evaluation of the economic impact due to changes in multiple events, and to the associated uncertainty. For this reason, a classical two-stage stochastic programming model was extend into a three-stages model. The model is specified for an area of Sardinia, and examines the impact of climate change on rainfall and hence on the availability of water for agriculture, and on maximum temperatures and, therefore, on the requirements of some irrigated crops relevant to the agricultural economy of the area. The effect of climate change is obtained by comparing the results of scenarios that represent the climatic conditions in the current situation and in the future, obtained by projecting to 2015 the climate trends of the last fifty years. The results show that the agricultural sector of the area adapt itself with a low cost by use of land and cultural practices. This cost, however, is very high for some farms that suffer a significant reduction of the income. There is also an increase of the use of natural resources, in particularly groundwater. The economic impact of these changes is due primarily to the decreased of water availability in the future. The availability of water becomes the crucial factor to adapting to climate change, because the effects of temperature can be compensate by increased the use of water resources.

description: The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a major driver of the environmental and social sustainability of the agriculture in the European Union (EU). Under the 2003 CAP reform, most direct payments to agricultural producers were decoupled from production. This work assesses the possible impact of the CAP reform on the sustainability of an irrigated area of Central Italy with particular attention being paid to decoupling. The analysis has been conducted using the Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) method that directly estimates the cost function parameters by imposing the first-order conditions of the farm model under consideration. The analysis assesses the impact of the CAP reform on farm cropping patterns, water and chemical use, labour use and economic results. By referring to this set of indicators it is possible to investigate the likely effect of the CAP reform on the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the considered farming systems. The results of the empirical analysis mainly show a reduction in water and chemical input use, an increase in the economic results of farms, but also a reduction of the labour.
Theoretical Interpretation of the Measurements of the Secondary Eclipses of TrES-1 and HD209458b

description: We calculate the planet-star flux-density ratios as a function of wavelength from 0.5 microns to 25 microns for the transiting extrasolar giant planets TrES-1 and HD209458b and compare them with the recent Spitzer/IRAC-MIPS secondary eclipse data in the 4.5, 8.0, and 24 micron bands. With only three data points and generic calibration issues, detailed conclusions are difficult, but inferences regarding atmospheric composition, temperature, and global circulation can be made. Our models reproduce the observations reasonably well, but not perfectly, and we speculate on the theoretical consequences of variations around our baseline models. One preliminary conclusion is that we may be seeing in the data indications that the day side of a close-in extrasolar giant planet is brighter in the mid-infrared than its night side, unlike Jupiter and Saturn. This correspondence will be further tested when the data anticipated in other Spitzer bands are acquired, and we make predictions for what those data may show.

We study the Cardassian model, the Dvali-Turner gravity modified model and the generalized Chaplygin gas model of dark energy - dark matter unification. In our best fit analysis for these three dark energy proposals we consider flat model and the non-flat model priors. We also discuss the degeneracy of the models with the XCDM model through the computation of the so-called jerk parameter.

description: We use a serendipitously discovered overdensity of extremely red objects (EROs) to study the morphologies and cumulative surface number density of EROs in a dense environment. Our extremely deep imaging allows us to select very faint EROs, reaching Ks=21, or ~2 magnitudes fainter than the L* of passively evolving ellipticals at z=1.5. We find that the shape of the ERO cumulative surface number density in our overdense field mimics that of the field ERO population over all magnitudes down to Ks=21 but with a factor of 3-4 higher normalization. The excellent seeing in our images (0.4" in Ks and 0.6" in R) allows for morphological classification of the brighter (Ks<19) EROs and we find a mix of morphologies including interacting systems and disks; the fraction of pure bulges (at most 38%), galaxies with disks (at least 46%), and interacting systems (at least 21%) is consistent with morphological fractions in field ERO studies. The similarity in the shape of the cumulative surface density and morphological mix between our overdense field and the field ERO population suggests that ERO galaxies in overdense regions at z~1-2 may not have had an appreciably different history than those in the field.

description: We study the evolution of a single BaRb$^+$ molecule while it continuously collides with ultracold Rb atoms. The initially weakly-bound molecule can undergo a sequence of elastic, inelastic, reactive, and radiative processes. We investigate these processes by developing methods for discriminating between different ion species, electronic states, and kinetic ion energy ranges. By comparing the measurements to model calculations we obtain a consistent description of the typical trajectory of the ion through the manifold of available atomic and molecular states. As a further result, we determine rates for collisional and radiative relaxation as well as photodissociation, spin-flip collisions, and chemical reactions.

Counselling First Nations : experiences of how aboriginal clients develop, experience, and maintain successful healing relationships with non-aboriginal counsellors in mainstream mental health settings, a narrative study
Creators: name: Howell-Jones, Gail E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Aboriginal people in Canada experience disproportionately high rates of family violence, suicide, substance abuse, and mental health problems such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. However, although culturally based healing resources for aboriginal people are inadequate to meet the need, available mainstream mental health services are underutilized by aboriginal clients. Therefore, while building on previous research looking at the problems faced by mainstream services and non-aboriginal counsellors in engaging and helping aboriginal clients, this research assumed there have been successes and examined aboriginal experiences of successful engagement and healing within such contexts. The methodology for this study is a narrative based approach that meets the mandates for ethical and appropriate indigenous research as described by those of authority in the field of indigenous research, and answers the question: How do aboriginal clients develop, experience, and maintain successful healing relationships with non-aboriginal counsellors in mainstream mental health settings? Narrative analysis of interviews with seven aboriginal mental health clients who believed they had a positive counselling experience in a mainstream setting produced findings that suggest common themes of interaction and discovery mark successful counselling relationships. Generally clients described an increased sense of connection and belonging, harmony, integration of traditional aboriginal and non-aboriginal practice and beliefs, self-acceptance, understanding, and balance as critical. However the defining characteristic of a successful counselling experience was expressed as the capacity of the counselling relationship to increase each client's clarification of how aboriginality is meaningfully and uniquely understood. These findings have implications for mainstream mental health services and indigenous research in general.

description: In this paper the authors present and validate a procedure, which intends to combine the latest state of the art models in bridge monitoring with freely available satellite data. Through the Differential SAR interferometry (DinSAR) technique, a dataset of displacements for the Morandi bridge in Genoa (Italy), before its collapse, has been created, by using images downloaded by the Copernicus Open-Access Hub and the ASFVertex Hub. The data have been processed through the ESA SNAP software to identify the rate of displacements in the parts of the bridge where collapse occurred. Results demonstrate that the adopted procedure has great potentiality in the application field, as it represents a simple and inexpensive method to monitor large structures in a continuous way, by helping to better quantify risks and guide effective mitigation countermeasures. Moreover, the same procedure, once properly validated, could be effectively extended to the current and future performance estimation of civil infrastructures.

description: Agriculture’s impact on climate change is unambiguous although its role is multifaceted as it is a source of greenhouse gases but also a sink. It’s feasibility to mitigate climate change has raised interest, but thorough studies about the net benefits of the mitigation practices are needed. The aim of this paper is to analyse the social net benefits of barley cultivation on three different soil types in Finland (clay, silt and organic) by using an integrated economic and ecological model. We ask whether it would be privately or socially profitable to allocate some of barley cultivation permanently for alternative land uses or cultivation systems, when production costs, GHG emissions and surface water quality impacts are taken into account. We compare the profitability of barley cultivation under conventional tillage (mouldboard ploughing) to conservation tillage (no-till), green and bare fallow and afforestation. We develop a theoretical framework for climate policies in agriculture. A comparison of the socially and privately optimal input use and land allocation choices allows us to derive optimal carbon tax and payments for climate and water quality friendly tillage practices. The empirical application of the model uses Finnish data to define the social welfare created by alternative soil type and tillage combinations and optimal policy instruments. GHG emissions are assessed on the basis of the whole life cycle of the production comprising also CO2 emission from soils. To assess the net social benefits related to alternative land use options monetary environmental valuation estimates are used in order to find the socially most profitable land allocation as regards soil type.
Uniformly-Damped Binomial Filters: Five-percent Maximum Overshoot Optimal Response Design

description: In this paper, the five-percent maximum overshoot design of uniformly-damped binomial filters (transfer-functions) is introduced. First, the butterworth filter response is represented as a damped-binomial filter response. To extend the maximum-overshoot response of the second-order butterworth to higher orders, the binomial theorem is extended to the uniformly-damped binomial theorem. It is shown that the five-percent uniformly-damped binomial filter is a compromise between the butterworth filter and the standard binomial filter, with respect to the filter-approximation problem in the time and frequency domain. Finally, this paper concludes that in applications of interest, such as step-tracking, where both strong filtering and a fast, smooth transient-response, with negligible overshoot are desired, the response of the normalized five-percent uniformly-damped binomial form is a candidate replacement for both the butterworth and standard binomial filter forms.

description: We report experiments on spontaneous imbibition of a viscous fluid by a model porous medium in the absence of gravity. The average position of the interface satisfies Washburn's law. Scaling of the interface fluctuations provides a dynamic exponent z \simeq 3, indicative of global dynamics driven by capillary forces. The complete set of exponents clearly shows that interfaces are not self-affine, exhibiting distinct local and global scaling, both for time (b=0.64\pm 0.02, b* =0.33 \pm 0.03) and space (a=1.94 \pm 0.20, a_loc=0.94 \pm 0.10). These values are compatible with an intrinsic anomalous scaling scenario.

description: In this paper, an ordered probit model is used to assess the factors that affect the probability of livestock farmers having plans to adopt manure separation technology in the future. A survey, based on a postal and computerized questionnaire of representative dairy and pig farms in the Netherlands was carried out in 2009. The results show that age of farmer and a variable which accounts for the interaction between size and location of the farm are important variables explaining the probability of farmers having plans to adopt manure separation technology. Furthermore, farmers who agreed that future application norms are the driving force for considering adoption of manure separation technology were more likely to consider manure separation as the right strategy for their farm. This outcome implies that farmers are considering manure separation as a strategy to survive the more stringent future application norms. Policy implications are that young farmers with bigger Dutch size unit located in manure regions where there is oversupply of manure are more likely to adopt manure separation technology in the future.

description: The direct s-channel coupling to Higgs bosons is 40000 times greater for muons than electrons; the coupling goes as mass squared. High precision scanning of the lighter $h^0$ and the higher mass $H^0$ and $A^0$ is thus possible with a muon collider. The $H^0$ and $A^0$ are expected to be nearly mass degenerate and to be CP even and odd, respectively. A muon collider could resolve the mass degeneracy and make CP measurements. The origin of CP violation in the $K^{0}$ and $B^{0}$ meson systems might lie in the the $H^0/A^0$ Higgs bosons. If large extra dimensions exist, black holes with lifetimes of $\sim 10^{-26}$ seconds could be created and observed via Hawking radiation at the LHC. Unlike proton or electron colliders, muon colliders can produce black hole systems of known mass. This opens the possibilities of measuring quantum remnants, gravitons as missing energy, and scanning production turn on. Proton colliders are hampered by parton distributions and CLIC by beamstrahlung. The ILC lacks the energy reach.

East meets west : culture and approaches to learning
Creators: name: Colling, Lisa Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Confucian-Socratic framework proposed by Tweed and Lehman (2002) was revisited in reference to Eastern and Western cultural influences in modern day learning. More specifically, those students born in China were hypothesized to follow a more Confucian approach to learning manifested by effortful, pragmatic learning marked by behavioural reform. It was hypothesized that Caucasian students born in Canada, on the other hand, would follow a Socratic approach to learning evolving around the public and private questioning of material, evaluation and rating of others' ideas, and in the generation of personal hypotheses. Of particular interest was the approach to learning taken by Canadian Born Chinese students, as these students arguably fall within both cultural influences when compared to the other cultural groups of interest (i.e., Chinese and Caucasian). Lastly, acculturation levels of students were also assessed in an attempt to understand the potential placement of a bicultural student within the framework, as this may be someone who captures and utilizes both learning approaches within their education, therefore possessing a learning advantage over peers. Participants (N = 243; 75 males, 158 females, 10 unreported) were recruited from two British Columbia community colleges and grouped into three potential categories for data analysis (Chinese, n = 119; Canadian Born Chinese, n = 24; Caucasian Canadian, n = 100). Results on the self-report measures indicated considerable cross-cultural overlap within the approaches to learning as defined by the Confucian-Socratic framework. These findings therefore call into question the overall utility of the framework within Western educational institutions. Furthermore, the Canadian Born Chinese students challenged the linear hypothesis of the framework on many accounts, scoring significantly higher or lower than their Chinese peers on measures they were hypothesized to score significantly on in the opposing direction. Level of acculturation was also found to be a key predictor in determining approaches to learning with the Chinese students as established in the linear regression. Possible explanations for the above findings are discussed, as well as the potential theoretical, applied and research implications in cross-cultural teaching and learning today.

description: This is our response to a comment by Walter Eifler on our paper `A simple model for the short-time evolution of near-surface current and temperature profiles' (arXiv:physics/0503186, accepted for publication in Deep-Sea Research II). Although Eifler raises genuine issues regarding our model's validity and applicability, we are nevertheless of the opinion that it is of value for the short-term evolution of the upper-ocean profiles of current and temperature. The fact that the effective eddy viscosity tends to infinity for infinite time under a steady wind stress may not be surprising. It can be interpreted as a vertical shift of the eddy viscosity profile and an increase in the size of the dominant turbulent eddies under the assumed conditions of small stratification and infinite water depth.

description: We study the effect of substrate induced strain on the structural, transport, optical and electronic properties of Sr$_2$CoNbO$_6$ double perovskite thin films. The reciprocal space mapping, $ϕ$-scan and high-resolution $θ$-2$θ$ scans of x-ray diffraction patterns suggest the epitaxial nature and high-quality of the films deposited on various single crystal ceramic substrates. A systematic enhancement in the dc electronic conductivity is observed with increase in the compressive strain, while a sharp reduction in case of tensile strain, which are further supported by change in the activation energy and density of states near the Fermi level. The optical band gap extracted from two distinct absorption bands, observed in the visible-near infrared spectroscopy show a non-monotonic behavior in case of compressive strain while significant enhancement with tensile strain. Unlike the bulk Sr$_2$CoNbO$_6$ (Co$^{3+}$ and Nb$^{5+}$), we observe different valence states of Co namely 2+, 3+ and 4+, and tetravalent Nb (4$d^1$) in the x-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements. Moreover, a reduction in the average oxygen valency with the compressive strain due to enhancement in the covalent character of Co/Nb--O bond is evident. Interestingly, we observe sharp Raman active modes in these thin films, which indicates a significant enhancement in structural ordering as compared to the bulk.

description: In order to measure agriculture sustainability, the efficient use of inputs becomes a crucial issue. In this perspective, the analysts concentrate their attention on the total factor productivity index (TFP). In this view, Lynam and Herdt (1989) proposed the TFP as a suitable assessment of the sustainability of single crops, of cropping systems or of farming systems. Even if the TFP does not take into account the non-market output (social and environmental aspects), it is possible to argue that a negative trend of TFP represents a resources’ degradation if related to the generated outputs. On the other hand, the non-negative trend of TFP represents a fitting measure of a sustainable agricultural system and of an efficient use of the resources. The aim of the paper is to analyze the productivity in the use of external factors in different types of farming at the Emilia-Romagna Region level, i.e. specialist field crops, specialist permanent crops and specialist milk production farms. A significant number of indexing procedures is accessible to evaluate the efficiency in converting inputs into outputs. In this paper, the TFP is estimated through an indirect evaluation of quantity index of outputs and inputs of each farming system taken into account in the analysis. Purposely, the amount of the total sales is considered as a measure of the output, whereas labour, capital, external inputs and other intermediate consumption are considered as a measure of the inputs. Data, referred to the period 2000 – 2009, are collected from the farm accountancy data network of the Emilia Romagna Region DG Agriculture. The study highlights how the TFP is a convenient index to evaluate the efficiency in the use of resources. In a broader view, the TFP index trend allows an estimation of economical and social benefits or damages which in the end improves or worsens environmental quality.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Graphene has evolved as a platform for quantum transport that can compete with the best and cleanest semiconductor systems. Recently, many interesting local properties of carrier transport in graphene have been investigated by various scanning probe techniques. Here, we report on the observation of distinct electronic jets emanating from a narrow split-gate defined channel in bilayer graphene. We find that these jets, which are visible via their interference patterns, occur predominantly with an angle of 60° between each other. This observation is related to the specific bandstructure of bilayer graphene, in particular trigonal warping, which leads to a valley-dependent selection of momenta for low-energy conduction channels. This experimental observation of electron jetting has consequences for carrier transport in graphene in general as well as for devices relying on ballistic and valley selective transport.

description: Optically--faint X-ray sources (those with f_X/f_R > 10) constitute about 20% of X-ray sources in deep surveys, and are potentially highly obscured and/or at high redshift. Their faint optical fluxes are generally beyond the reach of spectroscopy. For a sample of 20 optically--faint sources in CDFS, we compile 0.4--24 um photometry, relying heavily on Spitzer. We estimate photometric redshifts for 17 of these 20 sources. We find that these AGN are optically--faint both because they lie at significantly higher redshifts (median z ~ 1.6) than most X-ray--selected AGN, and because their spectra are much redder than standard AGN. They have 2--8 keV X-ray luminosities in the Seyfert range, unlike the QSO--luminosities of optically--faint AGN found in shallow, wide--field surveys. Their contribution to the X-ray Seyfert luminosity function is comparable to that of z>1 optically--bright AGN.

description: The increasing international awareness about the strengths of participatory approaches and methods for research and development has led international development banks, NGOs, donors and research and training institutes to adopt Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and other participatory approaches to implement new projects and programs. At IIMI, PRA approaches and methods have also been incorporated in a number of research activities. The present Working Paper explores the opportunities of PRA in irrigation management research through an analysis of selected case studies in which IIMI attempted to practice the PRA approach.
Modeling of transport through submicron semiconductor structures: A direct solution to the Poisson-Boltzmann equations

description: We report on a computational approach based on the self-consistent solution of the steady-state Boltzmann transport equation coupled with the Poisson equation for the study of inhomogeneous transport in deep submicron semiconductor structures. The nonlinear, coupled Poisson-Boltzmann system is solved numerically using finite difference and relaxation methods. We demonstrate our method by calculating the high-temperature transport characteristics of an inhomogeneously doped submicron GaAs structure where the large and inhomogeneous built-in fields produce an interesting fine structure in the high-energy tail of the electron velocity distribution, which in general is very far from a drifted-Maxwellian picture.

description: L'entretien débute avec le récit de l’accouchement de l’informatrice, âgée d’une cinquantaine d'années et mère de six enfants. Elle explique que la mère peut commencer à donner le sein dès que l’enfant est prêt, c’est-à-dire une demi-heure environ après la naissance. L’informatrice évoque la durée de l’allaitement pour chacun de ses enfants et explique que l’enfant n’est pas séparé de sa mère après l’accouchement. Elle raconte également qu’à la naissance on donne du jus de datte ou du beurre frais au nouveau-né. L'enquêtrice aborde ensuite le sujet du colostrum avec l’informatrice tout en discutant avec les autres femmes présentes durant l’entretien. L’informatrice attribue la couleur jaune au colostrum et un goût sucré, bien qu’elle n’y ait pas goûté elle-même. Elle évoque les différences entre le lait maternel et le colostrum. Pour l’informatrice, le colostrum n’est pas produit uniquement pendant trois ou quatre jours. Les prescriptions coraniques concernant l’allaitement sont évoquées. L’informatrice explique que selon les textes il faudrait allaiter pendant deux ans et évoque le discours des personnes âgées sur le sujet. Les frères et sœurs de lait sont évoqués par l’informatrice qui précise que la consommation colostrum tisse des liens fraternels au même titre que le lait maternel. L’informatrice précise que si la mère n’a pas de lait elle peut donner le biberon. Les rapports sexuels durant la période d'allaitement sont évoqués. L’informatrice précise qu’il faut attendre quarante jours après la naissance, le temps que la mère se remette de l’accouchement. L’informatrice reste évasive et ne répond pas aux questions de l’informatrice concernant la mortalité infantile chez les enfants de moins de 1 an. À la fin de l’enquête l’enquêtrice aborde la consommation du colostrum animal. L’informatrice raconte que l’on peut donner le lait de chèvre à un enfant mais pas le colostrum de l’animal.

description: We experimentally determine weak values for a single photon's polarization, obtained via a weak measurement that employs a two-photon entangling operation, and postselection. The weak values cannot be explained by a semiclassical wave theory, due to the two-photon entanglement. We observe the variation in size of the weak value with measurement strength, obtaining an average measurement of the S_1 Stokes parameter more than an order of magnitude outside of the operator's spectrum for the smallest measurement strengths.
