description: Australian Pork Limited collects producer levies and matching contributions from the Federal government (on some of the levy income), and uses these funds to invest in R&D, domestic and export marketing campaigns and strategic policy development. In 2003/04, more than $18 million in funds were available. Levy payers and other stakeholders want to know that these funds are being well spent to generate positive net returns to the industry. This issue is particularly important at present, with the Australian pig meat industry competing in a global market environment, producing significant quantities of pork exports but also facing significant quantities of pork imports for further processing. An equilibrium displacement model of the Australian pig meat industry accounting for imports and exports was specified to study the annual returns to producers and other industry sectors from different hypothetical R&D and advertising scenarios. Total industry returns and returns to pig producers were estimated for each scenario. The results indicated that pig producers receive the largest potential returns from effective bacon/ham advertising and from effective pork advertising that increases the domestic demand for these products by 1 per cent, and from effective R&D that reduces the cost of production of porkers by 1 per cent. Other investment scenarios generated substantially lower returns. However these results do not say anything about the cost of achieving the hypothetical 1 per cent shifts in demand or supply curves. We can say however that investing in porker production R&D always provides the greatest share of total benefits to pig producers. We can also say, based on past empirical evidence, that it is extremely difficult to demonstrate any positive demand response to domestic advertising of pig meat.

description: We calculate the production cross section of the ``CP-odd'' Higgs boson via gluon fusion in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with explicit CP violation in the stop sector. We show that there is a parameter region in which the cross section is enhanced by a factor of about 1000, as compared to the case without CP violation in the stop sector. In the parameter region where the ``CP-odd'' Higgs boson can decay into a stop pair, the stop pair events will be the important signature of the enhanced ``CP-odd'' Higgs boson. In the case where the ``CP-odd'' Higgs boson cannot decay into any superparticles, the gamma gamma and tau tau decay channels could become important for discovering the ``CP-odd'' Higgs boson. We also discuss the constraints from electric dipole moments of electron, neutron and mercury on the viable parameter space mentioned above.

description: Rolling out text analytics applications or individual components thereof to multiple input languages of interest requires scalable workflows and architectures that do not rely on manual annotation efforts or language-specific re-engineering per target language. These scalability challenges aggravate even further if specialized technical domains are targeted in multiple languages. In recent work, it has been shown that cross-lingual projection of sentiment models in deep learning frameworks based on bilingual sentiment embeddings (BLSE) is feasible without any annotated data in the target language, capitalizing on monolingual embeddings and a bilingual translation dictionary only (Barnes et al., 2018). We use their framework and apply it to multilingual text analytics problems in the pharmaceutical domain in order to (i) investigate under which conditions the BLSE approach scales to technical domains as well, and (ii) assess the impact of different configurations of underlying lexical resources. For the language pair English/Spanish, our findings corroborate the strength of cross-lingual projection approaches such as BLSE in technical scenarios, given the availability of bilingual resources that provide broad lexical coverage, on the one hand, and complementary domain- and task-specific knowledge, on the other.

description: Most analyses of technical efficiency and productivity focus on the activities of firms or institutions using inputs to produce outputs. In this paper, we report the results of an efficiency analysis that is couched in a different context. We analyse the efficiency with which physical characteristics of individual lot-fed Australian beef cattle are combined with conventional inputs to produce a final product with several attributes that consumers value. Data on 214 animals across seven breeds were used to estimate a stochastic input distance function with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Estimates were obtained after controlling for differences between breeds, seasons and sex. Because of variations in feeding regimes for different markets, the data set was confined to animals whose meat was destined for the Korean export market. Technical efficiency measures are reported for each animal, along with the estimated mean technical efficiency. The conventional inputs included in the analysis are feed and number of days in a feedlot (reflecting capital, veterinary and supervisory inputs). Physical measures of cattle traits on their entry into the feedlot are age, liveweight, muscle score, eye muscle area, rump fat depth and rib fat depth. Outputs are carcass weight, meat quality (assessed by using sensory scores on tenderness, juiciness, flavour and overall acceptability), marbling and the proportion of meat weight retained after cooking. A high mean technical efficiency was estimated for the cattle but it was found that breeds have significantly different output frontiers and inefficiency levels. These differences are most likely associated with variation in genetic merit between sires within a breed and the different farming and climatic backgrounds of cohorts of animals. Results are reported on the input-output relationships as well as the relationships between the outputs. Important findings in respect of output relationships in this sample are that the proportion of meat weight retained after cooking is highly significantly and positively associated with the meat quality sensory score, and carcass weight is significantly and negatively associated with the meat quality sensory score. No significant relationship was discerned between carcass weight and the proportion of meat weight retained after cooking.

Distillate Usage Patterns in Minnesota: Development of Data and Tools to Analyze Policies Affecting Biodiesel Usage

description: Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils or animal fats that can substitute for diesel fuel in engines or fuel oil in furnaces. Biodiesel has proven lubricity benefits at low blends and performs well as a substitute for petro-diesel. Blends of biodiesel reduce particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOC), as well as other toxic gases and Greenhouse Gases (GHG). Reduced emissions from biodiesel blends result from its zero sulfur content and higher oxygen content versus petro-diesel. Federal standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have forced local authorities to implement policies to reduce VOC's, one of the precursors of ground level ozone formation, and other toxic emissions. The Twin Cities area has remained just below the EPA thresholds in recent years. In addition to VOC's, particulate matter (PM) from diesel engines poses additional health concerns, especially when originating from school buses, transit buses, and diesel-powered electrical generators. Minnesota statutes mandate the inclusion of 2% biodiesel for use in a majority of diesel-powered vehicles in the state starting in 2005. This study was undertaken to assist policy-makers who may suggest utilization of biodiesel blends as part of a strategy to reduce regional ground level ozone and particulate matter near certain emitting sources. Vehicles that may be prime targets for use of higher blends of biodiesel include school buses, transit buses, road equipment, diesel-powered electrical generators, and diesel "gensets" used for emergency and peak-shaving. A workbook model was developed to determine the amounts of 100% biodiesel (B100) needed to satisfy various blends for categories of machines in Minnesota, with special emphasis on the sources emitting the greatest amounts of pollutants in closest proximity to people. The workbook calculates the amounts of B100 needed in each county and month of the year for numerous scenarios. Such data should be helpful to fuel distributors as they determine how to supply vehicles and machines that may utilize biodiesel of various blends across the state.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a charge qubit consisting of two Coulomb-blockaded islands hosting Majorana zero modes. The frequency of the qubit is determined by coherent single-electron tunneling between two islands originating from the hybridization of two Majorana zero modes localized at the junction. We calculate the sequential tunneling current $I$ through the double-island device coupled to normal metal leads. We demonstrate that the $I\!-\!V$ characteristics in the large-bias regime can be used as a measurement of the coherent Majorana coupling $E_M$. We propose dc and ac transport experiments for measuring $E_M$, and discuss their limitations due to intrinsic dephasing mechanisms such as excited quasiparticles.

description: The X-ray emission properties from the hot thermalized plasma that results from the collisions of individual stellar winds and supernovae ejecta within rich and compact star clusters are discussed. We propose a simple analytical way of estimating the X-ray emission generated by super star clusters and derive an expression that indicates how this X-ray emission depends on the main cluster parameters. Our model predicts that the X-ray luminosity from the star cluster region is highly dependent on the star cluster wind terminal speed, a quantity related to the temperature of the thermalized ejecta.We have also compared the X-ray luminosity from the SSC plasma with the luminosity of the interstellar bubbles generated from the mechanical interaction of the high velocity star cluster winds with the ISM.We found that the hard (2.0 keV - 8.0 keV) X-ray emission is usually dominated by the hotter SSC plasma whereas the soft (0.3 keV - 2.0 keV) component is dominated by the bubble plasma. This implies that compact and massive star clusters should be detected as point-like hard X-ray sources embedded into extended regions of soft diffuse X-ray emission. We also compared our results with predictions from the population synthesis models that take into consideration binary systems and found that in the case of young,massive and compact super star clusters the X-ray emission from the thermalized star cluster plasma may be comparable or even larger than that expected from the HMXB population.

description: This study describes a portion of the grain production and movement patterns in Minnesota. 1999 levels of grain and oilseed production were identified as well as livestock populations in individual counties of the state. Animal scientists were consulted to ascribe typical consumption levels by the various livestock living in particular counties. A series of assumptions were required in order to determine the number of additional animals required to maintain sufficient breeding herds and flocks of livestock. Graphs were constructed to present the consumption levels of grain by livestock species in a statewide fashion. Tables provide detailed data to describe the consumption of feed grains and soybean meal by livestock in each county. Use of electronic spreadsheets allowed the authors to determine the extent of feed grain surplus or deficits in particular counties. Geographic Information System (GIS) software allowed the portrayal of several variables by mapping. These included grain production, corn or barley consumption, feed grain surplus or deficit level by county, net grain available for movement out of the county, and net grain available for movement expressed in "tons per square mile of farms".

description: Machine learning is nowadays a standard technique for data analysis within software applications. Software engineers need quality assurance techniques that are suitable for these new kinds of systems. Within this article, we discuss the question whether standard software testing techniques that have been part of textbooks since decades are also useful for the testing of machine learning software. Concretely, we try to determine generic and simple smoke tests that can be used to assert that basic functions can be executed without crashing. We found that we can derive such tests using techniques similar to equivalence classes and boundary value analysis. Moreover, we found that these concepts can also be applied to hyperparameters, to further improve the quality of the smoke tests. Even though our approach is almost trivial, we were able to find bugs in all three machine learning libraries that we tested and severe bugs in two of the three libraries. This demonstrates that common software testing techniques are still valid in the age of machine learning and that considerations how they can be adapted to this new context can help to find and prevent severe bugs, even in mature machine learning libraries.

description: Differences between measured nuclear masses and those calculated using the Finite Range Droplet Model are analyzed. It is shown that they have a well defined, clearly correlated oscillatory component as a function of the proton and neutron numbers. At the same time, they exhibit in their power spectrum the presence of chaos. Comparison with other mass calculations strongly suggest that this chaotic component arises from many body effects not included in the mass formula, and that they do not impose limits in the precision of mass calculations.

The predicted shell binding energies are found to be quite accurate over the entire range of the atomic number $Z$ up to 84 and compare very well with those obtained within the framework of hyper-virial-Pade scheme and the method of shifted large-N expansion. It is observed that the new perturbative method may also be applied to the other areas of atomic physics.

description: The coupling between a primordial magnetic field and the cosmic axion field generates a helical component of the magnetic field around the time in which the axion starts to oscillate. If the energy density of the seed magnetic field is comparable to the energy density of the universe at that time, then the resulting magnetic helicity is about |H_B| \simeq (10^{-20} G)^2 kpc and remains constant after its generation. As a corollary, we find that the standard properties of the oscillating axion remain unchanged even in the presence of very strong magnetic fields.

The lived experience of the personal iceberg metaphor of therapists in satir’s systemic brief therapy training
Creators: name: Lum, Wendy Diane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to discover how therapists understood and experienced the Personal Iceberg Metaphor from Satir's systemic brief therapy training program. This metaphor provided a framework for insight into the internal world of the person. Nine therapists (seven women and two men) whose ages were between 35-61 years old, participated in the study. Participants must have completed 120 hours of Satir's systemic brief therapy training, which included the beginner and the advanced level programs. A phenomenological approach was used for the procedure on how to interview participants and on how to analyze the data which was gathered. The researcher conducted two interviews with each participant over a seven month period. Five common themes emerged which highlighted the lived experience of the participants. The lived experience of the Personal Iceberg Metaphor: (1) facilitates awareness, (2) is an integration process of externalization towards internalization, (3) fosters acceptance, (4) facilitates change, and (5) fosters spiritual development and connection to Self: I am. The inner world and process of therapists was surfaced and explored. The participants experienced intrapsychic and interactive impacts and changes. The descriptions within each theme have illustrated the growth and development of the participant as a person and as a therapist. The findings of this study illustrates how therapists have positively changed through their involvement and exploration with the Personal Iceberg Metaphor within Satir's systemic brief therapy training. The findings from this research offer recommendations for counselling research and practice in the area of personal and professional development for therapists.

It deserves noting that at such late stages, the remnants should have entered the deep Newtonian phase, during which the majority of shock-accelerated electrons will no longer be highly relativistic. To calculate the afterglows, we must assume that the electrons obey a power-law distribution according to their kinetic energy, not simply the Lorentz factor.

description: This paper considers the problem of steering the aggregative behavior of a population of noncooperative price-taking agents towards a desired behavior. Different from conventional pricing schemes where the price is fully available for design, we consider the scenario where a system regulator broadcasts a price prediction signal that can be different from the actual price incurred by the agents. The resulting reliability issues are taken into account by including trust dynamics in our model, implying that the agents will not blindly follow the signal sent by the regulator, but rather follow it based on the history of its accuracy, i.e, its deviation from the actual price. We present several nudge mechanisms to generate suitable price prediction signals that are able to steer the aggregative behavior of the agents to stationary as well as temporal desired aggregative behaviors. We provide analytical convergence guarantees for the resulting multi-components models. In particular, we prove that the proposed nudge mechanisms earn and maintain full trust of the agents, and the aggregative behavior converges to the desired one. The analytical results are complemented by a numerical case study of coordinated charging of plug-in electric vehicles.

description: Heat capacity measurements of the delta-phase stabilized alloy Pu-Al suggest that strong electron-phonon coupling is required to explain the moderate renormalization of the electronic density of states near the Fermi energy. We calculate the heat capacity contributions from the lattice and electronic degrees of freedom as well as from the electron-lattice coupling term and find good overall agreement between experiment and theory assuming a dimensionless electron-phonon coupling parameter of order unity, lambda ~ 0.8. This large electron-phonon coupling parameter is comparable to reported values in other superconducting metals with face-centered cubic crystal structure, for example, Pd (lambda ~ 0.7) and Pb (lambda ~ 1.5). Further, our analysis shows evidence of a sizable residual low-temperature entropy contribution, S_{res} ~ 0.4 k_B (per atom). We can fit the residual specific heat to a two-level system. Therefore, we speculate that the observed residual entropy originates from crystal-electric field effects of the Pu atoms or from self-irradiation induced defects frozen in at low temperatures.

Eurace@unibi-eco: A model of technology transitions. V1.1. Model documentation
Creators: name: Hötte, Kerstin
Publisher: name: Bielefeld University, Department of Business Administration and Economics
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 330

description: Purpose of this paper is the self-contained description of the green technology extension of the macroeconomic agent-based model Eurace@unibi. The original model is extended in mainly five dimensions: (1) There are two types of production technology, i.e. a green and a conventional. Technology is embodied in capital goods and in the technological capabilities of firms. (2) Employees are endowed with two types of evolving technology-specific skills that are needed to work effectively with specific capital goods. (3) Based on their technological capabilities and the market environment, consumption goods (CG) firms decide whether to invest in green or conventional capital. (4) An environmental accounting keeps track of the environmental impact of CG sector. (5) A policy module allows to investigate the impact of different diffusion policies. Main research areas covered by the model extension are directed technological change, innovation diffusion and technology substitution processes. A key feature of the model is endogenous, technology-specific absorptive capacity of heterogeneous technology adopters that evolves through learning. It is a comprehensive, macroeconomic model that allows to study the macroeconomic and distributional consequences of transition processes. The technical description of the model is complemented by a short summary and discussion of technology transition dynamics in a baseline simulation.

description: We induce strong non-local interactions in a 2D Fermi gas in an optical lattice using Rydberg dressing. The system is approximately described by a $t-V$ model on a square lattice where the fermions experience isotropic nearest-neighbor interactions and are free to hop only along one direction. We measure the interactions using many-body Ramsey interferometry and study the lifetime of the gas in the presence of tunneling, finding that tunneling does not reduce the lifetime. To probe the interplay of non-local interactions with tunneling, we investigate the short-time relaxation dynamics of charge density waves in the gas. We find that strong nearest-neighbor interactions slow down the relaxation. Our work opens the door for quantum simulations of systems with strong non-local interactions such as extended Fermi-Hubbard models.

description: The window of opportunity for effective climate change mitigation is closing. Hence, it is decisive to understand how to accelerate the diffusion of climate friendly technologies. Path dependence of technological change is an explanation for sluggish diffusion even if a technology is superior in the long run. This paper studies the determinants of diffusion, learning and the coevolution of innovation and heterogeneous absorptive capacity. I show how the effectiveness of different market based climate policies depends on the type and strength of diffusion barriers. I introduce a macroeconomic agent-based model that is an eco-technology extended version Eurace@unibi model. Technology is heterogeneous by type (green or brown). Firms choose between types when acquiring capital goods and build up type-specific technological know-how that is needed to exploit the productive potential of capital. Path dependence is operationalized as accumulated diffusion barriers taking the form of inferior technical performance of supplied green capital and type-specific know-how of adopters. The barriers interrelate with positive feedback loops from market induced innovation dynamics and learning by doing, and analyze how these mechanisms explain path dependence and the emerging macroeconomic patterns of technology diffusion. Environmental taxes can outweigh a lower technical performance and subsidies perform better if lacking capabilities hinder firms to adopt a sufficiently mature technology.

description: We present cross-identification of archived X-ray point sources with W UMa variable stars found in the All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS). In a surveyed sky area of 300 square degrees of ASAS, 36 W UMa stars have been found associated with X-ray emission. We compute the distances of these W UMa systems and hence their X-ray luminosities. Our data support the "supersaturation" phenomenon seen in these fast rotators, namely that the faster a W UMa star rotates, the weaker its X-ray luminosity.

description: Recent auto-correlation and fluctuation analysis of time series data in the brightness curves and micro-lensing size scales seen in Q0957+561 A,B has produced important information about the existence and characteristic physical dimensions of a new non-standard internal structure contained within this quasar. We find that the new internal quasar structure, which we shall call the Schild-Vakulik Structure, can be consistently explained in terms of a new class of gravitationally collapsing solutions to the Einstein field equations which describe highly redshifted, Eddington limited, Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Objects (MECO) that contain intrinsic magnetic moments. Since observation of the Schild-Vakulik structure within Q0957+561 implies that this quasar contains an observable intrinsic magnetic moment, this represents strong evidence that this quasar does not have an event horizon

Topology optimization of acoustic metasurfaces by using a two-scale homogenization method

description: In this paper, we propose a level set-based topology optimization method for the unit-cell design of acoustic metasurfaces by using a two-scale homogenization method. Based on previous works, we first propose a homogenization method for acoustic metasurfaces that can be combined with topology optimization. In this method, a nonlocal transmission condition depending on the unit cell of the metasurface appears in a macroscale problem. Next, we formulate an optimization problem within the framework of a level set-based topology optimization method, wherein an objective functional is expressed as the macroscopic responses obtained through the homogenization, and material distributions in the unit cell are set as design variables. A sensitivity analysis is conducted based on the concept of the topological derivative. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, two-dimensional numerical examples are provided. First, we provide a numerical example that supports the validity of the homogenization method, and we then perform optimization calculations based on the waveguide settings of the acoustic metasurfaces. In addition, we discuss the mechanism of the obtained optimized structures.

description: A time-resolved ferromagnetic resonance technique was used to investigate the magnetization dynamics of a 10 nm thin Permalloy film. The experiment consisted of a sequence of magnetic field pulses at a repetition rate equal to the magnetic systems resonance frequency. We compared data obtained by this technique with conventional pulsed inductive microwave magnetometry. The results for damping and frequency response obtained by these two different methods coincide in the limit of a small angle excitation. However, when applying large amplitude field pulses, the magnetization had a non-linear response. We speculate that one possible cause of the nonlinearity is related to self-amplification of incoherence, known as the Suhl instabilities.

description: Neural Networks (NN), although successfully applied to several Artificial Intelligence tasks, are often unnecessarily over-parametrised. In edge/fog computing, this might make their training prohibitive on resource-constrained devices, contrasting with the current trend of decentralising intelligence from remote data centres to local constrained devices. Therefore, we investigate the problem of training effective NN models on constrained devices having a fixed, potentially small, memory budget. We target techniques that are both resource-efficient and performance effective while enabling significant network compression. Our Dynamic Hard Pruning (DynHP) technique incrementally prunes the network during training, identifying neurons that marginally contribute to the model accuracy. DynHP enables a tunable size reduction of the final neural network and reduces the NN memory occupancy during training. Freed memory is reused by a \emph{dynamic batch sizing} approach to counterbalance the accuracy degradation caused by the hard pruning strategy, improving its convergence and effectiveness. We assess the performance of DynHP through reproducible experiments on three public datasets, comparing them against reference competitors. Results show that DynHP compresses a NN up to $10$ times without significant performance drops (up to $3.5\%$ additional error w.r.t. the competitors), reducing up to $80\%$ the training memory occupancy.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) play a key role in deep learning applications. However, the large storage overheads and the substantial computation cost of CNNs are problematic in hardware accelerators. Computing-in-memory (CIM) architecture has demonstrated great potential to effectively compute large-scale matrix-vector multiplication. However, the intensive multiply and accumulation (MAC) operations executed at the crossbar array and the limited capacity of CIM macros remain bottlenecks for further improvement of energy efficiency and throughput. To reduce computation costs, network pruning and quantization are two widely studied compression methods to shrink the model size. However, most of the model compression algorithms can only be implemented in digital-based CNN accelerators. For implementation in a static random access memory (SRAM) CIM-based accelerator, the model compression algorithm must consider the hardware limitations of CIM macros, such as the number of word lines and bit lines that can be turned on at the same time, as well as how to map the weight to the SRAM CIM macro. In this study, a software and hardware co-design approach is proposed to design an SRAM CIM-based CNN accelerator and an SRAM CIM-aware model compression algorithm. To lessen the high-precision MAC required by batch normalization (BN), a quantization algorithm that can fuse BN into the weights is proposed. Furthermore, to reduce the number of network parameters, a sparsity algorithm that considers a CIM architecture is proposed. Last, MARS, a CIM-based CNN accelerator that can utilize multiple SRAM CIM macros as processing units and support a sparsity neural network, is proposed.
