description: This paper explores two ideas to enhance the performance of agri-environmental contracting schemes: linking contract payments to environmental outcomes and putting the contracts up for tender. This paper investigates whether there are any gains to be had by combining the benefits of both approaches. Controlled lab experiments were run in two countries, systematically varying the rate at which payments are linked to environmental outcomes. This paper clarifies the conditions under which the benefits from combining tenders with incentive payments outweigh the costs.

description: Materials for electronics that function as electrical and/or thermal conductors are often rigid, expensive, difficult to be sourced and sometimes toxic. An electrically and thermally conductive nanocomposite that is lightweight, flexible and eco-friendly could improve the environmental friendliness of the electronics sector and enable new applications. Considering this, we have fabricated electrically and thermally conductive flexible materials by functionalizing paper with nanocarbon conductive inks. Carnauba wax is emulsified in isopropyl alcohol and mixed with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) or with hybrids of GNPs and carbon nanofibers (CNFs). The percolation threshold of the hybrid samples is lowered compared with the pure GNPs composites, due to their increased filler aspect ratio. The hybrid samples also exhibit superior bending and folding stability. Densification of the coating to decrease their sheet resistance enables them to achieve as low as ~ 50 Ω sq-1 for the GNP-based paper. The densification procedure improves the bending stability, the abrasion resistance, and the electromagnetic interference shielding of the paper-based conductors. Finally, the compressed samples show an impressive enhancement of their thermal diffusivity. The flexible and multifunctional nanocarbon coated paper is a promising electronic conductor and thermally dissipative material and, at the same time, can increase the environmental sustainability of the electronics sector.

Track impact parameter resolution in the BaBar detector
Creators: name: Asgeirsson, David J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis contains a study of track impact parameter resolution in the BABAR detector using lepton pair events from e⁺e⁻ --> /⁺/⁻ (y) and from y*y* —> /⁺/⁻ where I is either e or μ,. The high number of these events in the data set and Monte Carlo simulations allows the tails of the resolution to be studied in detail. The Gaussian core of the resolution is consistent within 20% with the track-by-track errors returned by the track fitting software for both data and Monte-Carlo simulations. Beyond about three standard deviations (ϭ) the non-Gaussian tail approximately obeys power laws. A simple parametrization is presented which fits the data well to beyond 10 ϭ. The tail shape is consistent with that expected from a large-angle Coulomb scattering Toy Monte-Carlo. The GEANT4-based BABAR Monte Carlo software reproduces the core out to approximately 2a but the behaviour of the tails further out disagrees with the data and the predictions of Moliere theory.

description: Recently gravity trade models are applied to disaggregated trade data. Here many zeros are characteristic. In the presence of excess zeros usual Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) is still consistent, the variance covariance matrix however is invalid. Correct economic interpretation however requires also the last. So alternative estimators are looked for. STAUB &WINKELMANN (2010) argue that zero-inflated count data models (i.e. zero-inflated Poisson / Negative Binomial Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (ZIPPML / ZINBPML)) are no alternative since under model misspecification these estimators are inconsistent. Yet zeroinflated Poisson Quasi-Likelihood (PQL) is a reliable alternative. It is consistent even under model misspecifications and beyond that robust against unobserved heterogeneity. Another alternative is a log-skew-normal Two-Part Model (G2PM) which generalises the standard lognormal Two-Part Model (2PM). It is insofar advantageous as it adjusts for (negative) skewness and regression coefficients retain usual interpretations as in log-normal models. PQL is useful for multiplicative gravity model estimation and G2PM for log-linear gravity model estimation. Exemplarily the estimators are applied to intra-European piglet trade to assess their empirical performance and applicability for single commodity trade flow analysis. The empirical part favours PQL but G2PM is a reliable alternative for other trade flow analyses. PQL and G2PM should become standard tools for single commodity trade flow analysis.

description: The strong, electromagnetic and mixed strong-electromagnetic amplitudes of the $ψ(2S)$ decays into baryon-anti-baryon pairs have been obtained by exploiting all available data sets in the framework of an effective Lagrangian model. We observed that at the $ψ(2S)$ mass the QCD regime is not completely perturbative, as can be inferred by the relative strength of the strong and the mixed strong-electromagnetic amplitudes. Recently a similar conclusion has been reached also for the $J/ψ$ decays. The relative phase between the strong and the electromagnetic amplitudes is $φ= (58\pm 8)^\circ$, to be compared with $φ= (73\pm 8)^\circ$ obtained for the $J/ψ$. On the other hand, in the case of the $ψ(2S)$ meson, different values of the ratio between strong and mixed strong-electromagnetic amplitudes are phenomenologically required, while for the $J/ψ$ meson only one ratio was enough to describe the data. Finally, we also observed a peculiar behavior of the mixed strong-electromagnetic amplitudes of the decays $ψ(2S)\toΣ^+ \overline Σ^-$ and $ψ(2S)\toΣ^- \overline Σ^+$.

description: The global energy fluctuations of a low density gas granular gas in the homogeneous cooling state near its clustering instability are studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The relative dispersion of the fluctuations is shown to exhibit a power-law divergent behavior. Moreover, the probability distribution of the fluctuations presents data collapse as the system approaches the instability, for different values of the inelasticity. The function describing the collapse turns out to be the same as the one found in several molecular equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems, except for the change in the sign of the fluctuations.
The Polarization of Drifting Subpulses

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using new techniques based on the polarimetric fluctuation spectrum, the fluctuation behaviour of the polarization of individual pulses is examined in three pulsars that show drifting subpulses, allowing various aspects of the fluctuations to be quantified for the first time. Of the three pulsars studied, only PSR B0809+74 shows behaviour completely consistent with the superposition of orthogonal polarization modes (OPMs), and this only at 328 MHz and in superposition with an apparently randomly polarized component. The observed periodic pattern is decomposed into the sum of two orthogonally polarized, out-of-phase drift patterns, one of which shows a dramatic jump in subpulse phase near the leading edge of the pulse window. For PSR B0320+39 and PSR B0818$-$13, considerable periodic fluctuations away from OPM orientations are seen, a condition that also occurs in the trailing half of the pulse in PSR B0809+74 at 1380 MHz. In some cases the deviation is so strong that the periodic locus of the polarization vector in the Poincaré sphere is almost circular, in contrast to the strictly colinear states of superposed OPMs. Several possibilities are discussed for the physical origin of these patterns. The similarity between the subpulse patterns in one of the OPMs of PSR B0809+74 at 328 MHz to that of the total intensity signal at 1380 MHz supports a picture of superposed, out of phase drift patterns. To explain the full range of behaviour seen in the three pulsars, it must be possible to produce at least three arbitrarily polarized superposed patterns. While the data do not suggest a particular approach for the empirical decomposition of patterns into non-orthogonally polarized components, the specific, quantitative nature of the results should provide strong constraints for theoretically driven modelling.

description: Objects that float at the interface between a liquid and a gas interact because of interfacial deformation and the effect of gravity. We highlight the crucial role of buoyancy in this interaction, which, for small particles, prevails over the capillary suction that is often assumed to be the dominant effect. We emphasize this point using a simple classroom demonstration, and then derive the physical conditions leading to mutual attraction or repulsion. We also quantify the force of interaction in some particular instances and present a simple dynamical model of this interaction. The results obtained from this model are then validated by comparison to experimental results for the mutual attraction of two identical spherical particles. We conclude by looking at some of the applications of the effect that can be found in the natural and manmade worlds.

description: Hybrid variations of metaheuristics that include data mining strategies have been utilized to solve a variety of combinatorial optimization problems, with superior and encouraging results. Previous hybrid strategies applied mined patterns to guide the construction of initial solutions, leading to more effective exploration of the solution space. Solving a combinatorial optimization problem is usually a hard task because its solution space grows exponentially with its size. Therefore, problem size reduction is also a useful strategy in this context, especially in the case of large-scale problems. In this paper, we build upon these ideas by presenting an approach named MineReduce, which uses mined patterns to perform problem size reduction. We present an application of MineReduce to improve a heuristic for the heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem. The results obtained in computational experiments show that this proposed heuristic demonstrates superior performance compared to the original heuristic and other state-of-the-art heuristics, achieving better solution costs with shorter run times.
Allocation of CAP modulation funds to rural development measures at the regional level in Finland

description: Further coordination and coherence of the EU funds and policies has been increasingly called for, implying that the territorial perspectives should be included as a major element in the future policies. In this paper, CAP modulation is considered in a framework of a regional development such that it compares the effects on modulation funds first, as they are allocated as income subsidies to farm related, diversified economic activities and second, as they are channeled from agriculture to increased regional investment demand. A rural-urban Social Accounting Matrix is used as a base year data for the CGE-model. The results suggest that transferring CAP payments from actual agriculture as income support to diversified activity does not promote rural development and economic activity measured at the regional level. Accordingly, traditional agriculture seems to be able to exploit the subsidies more efficiently. On the contrary, the investment shocks resulted in positive total impacts in terms of the gross regional domestic product and regional employment. However, the positive GDP impacts were greater in the urban area, thus suggesting possible agglomeration development.

The up, down, charged lepton and neutrino Yukawa matrices are distinguished by different Clebsch-Gordan coefficients due to contracting over SU(4) and SU(2)_R indices. We obtain a hierarchical light neutrino mass spectrum with bi-large mixing. The condition that anomalies be cancelled by a Green-Schwarz mechanism leads to fractional U(1)_X charges which exclude $B$ violation through dimension-4 and -5 operators.

description: The generalized hydrodynamic (GHD) approach has been extremely successful in describing the out-of-equilibrium properties of a great variety of integrable many-body quantum systems. It naturally extracts the large-scale dynamical degrees of freedom of the system, and is thus a particularly good probe for emergent phenomena. One such phenomenon is the presence of unstable particles, traditionally seen via special analytic structures of the scattering matrix. Because of their finite lifetime and energy threshold, these are especially hard to study. In this paper we apply the GHD approach to a model possessing both unstable excitations and quantum integrability. The largest family of relativistic integrable quantum field theories known to have these features are the homogeneous sine-Gordon models. We consider the simplest non-trivial example of such theories and investigate the effect of an unstable excitation on various physical quantities, both at equilibrium and in the non-equilibrium state arising from the partitioning protocol. The hydrodynamic approach sheds new light onto the physics of the unstable particle, going much beyond its definition via the analytic structure of the scattering matrix, and clarifies its effects both on the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of the theory. Crucially, within this dynamical perspective, we identify unstable particles as finitely-lived bound states of co-propagating stable particles of different types, and observe how stable populations of unstable particles emerge in large-temperature thermal baths.

description: Targeted environmental policies for farmlands may improve the cost-efficiency of conservation programs if one can identify the farms that produce public goods, or environmental outputs, with the least cost. We derive shadow values of producing crop diversity on conventional and organic crop farms to examine their opportunity costs of conservation. Non-parametric distance functions are estimated by applying data envelopment analysis to a sample of Finnish crop farms for the period 1994 – 2002. Our results show that there is variation in the shadow values between farms and the technologies adopted. The extent of cost heterogeneity and farms’ potential for specialization in the production of environmental outputs determine whether voluntary programs such as auctions for conservation payments are economically reasonable.
First Nation perspectives on why First Nation youth are at risk for Hepatitis C

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The prevalence of Hepatitis C (HCV) in the First Nation youth population is unknown, however, it is understood that the rate for HCV in First Nation people is 7% higher compared to the non-First Nation population. HCV is contracted via blood to blood contact through activities such as sharing syringes, crack pipes, tattoo and piercing equipment with someone infected with HCV. In this qualitative study, ethnography research methodology and a community-based research philosophy were used to examine why First Nation youth are at risk for HCV within the 13 - 17-year-old age group and what recommendations they offer health care providers and First Nation youth on the prevention of HCV. The sample included fifteen First Nation youth as well as eight Elders participating in a focus group that sought to elicit advice ranging from what questions to ask Youths to participants' suggestions on prevention of HCV. Data analysis consisted of in-depth interviews, focus group participation and field notes focused on language used to describe risk-taking, when youth start using drugs and why they risk-take. Prevention ideas were gathered at the same time. Five themes emerged: Surviving risky lives; fn search of positive role models; being a First Nation youth means taking risk: living as a member of a culture whose traditions have been eclipsed by violence; access to health care; and awareness of HCV. There is a great divide in how Elders and youth view youth's role for the future. First Nation people think of Seven Generations ahead of the one they exist in. However, today's First Nation youth are putting aside their future until a later time in their lives; they define their own current culture of surviving being at risk. The framework used to understand the issues of risk-taking and prevention of HCV is the Braid Theory (Mind, Body and Spirit strands) that I developed out of the need to help others understand why First Nation people do not comply with western medicine regimes.

Mesmo com grande pujança, esse setor passa por forte concorrência internacional e é bastante dependente do mercado interno brasileiro. Essa pesquisa buscou analisar como o comportamento das forças de mercado, especificamente as importações e o consumo, influenciaram o desempenho nas quantidades produzidas de vinho comum, vinho de viníferas, suco de uva e vinhos espumantes no período compreendido entre 1989 e 2006. A análise foi baseada no paradigma Estrutura, Conduta e Desempenho que prevê que a estrutura de mercado exerce influência na conduta e no desempenho. A análise implicou na descrição das tendências de produção, importação e consumo e da avaliação das relações de causa e efeito da importação e consumo sobre a produção. Os resultados mostraram que a produção de vinhos de viníferas foi bastante dependente das importações; os vinhos comuns e vinhos espumantes do consumo interno; e a produção de suco de uvas do consumo interno e das importações.-------------------------------------------------------The wineries in the State of Rio Grande do Sul hold almost a total participation in the wine agribusiness. Even in a great vigor, this sector has been facing strong international competition and it has been quite dependent on the domestic Brazilian market. This research has sought to analyze how the behavior of market forces, specifically the importations and the consume, have influenced the performance in the quantities produced of ordinary wine, vineyards’ wine, grape juice and sparkling wines in the period comprehended between 1989 and 2006. The analysis was based on the paradigm Structure, Conduct and Performance which forecasts that the market structure exerts influence in the conduct and in the performance. The analysis has implied in the description of tendencies in production, importation and consume and the evaluation of relations of cause and effect of importation and consume over the production. The results have shown that the production of vineyards wines was quite dependent on importation; the ordinary wines and sparkling wines dependent on the domestic market and the production of grape juice dependent on the domestic market and importations.

description: This review analyzed the top 100 most-cited thyroid eye disease (TED) papers. In November 2022, Scopus was searched for the most highly cited TED works since inception. For each paper, journal of origin and impact factor, corresponding author country and specialty affiliation, citation count, publication year, database-affirmed study funding, and open-access status were extracted. A total of 76 primary and 24 secondary articles were published between 1969 and 2021 across 29 journals, with a median (range) of 186.5 (133–930) citations. The most cited journal was Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (25 articles; 5126 citations). The most cited article was ‘Graves’ ophthalmopathy’ (Bahn 2010; New England Journal of Medicine; 930 citations). Articles hailed from 10 countries, with most from the United States (38 articles; 9194 citations). Endocrinology (n = 59) and ophthalmology (n = 26) were the most common corresponding authors. Nineteen first authors contributed multiple articles. Only journal impact factor was significantly associated with citation count (p = .0002; ρ = 0.45). A variety of medical disciplines, Western countries, and study personnel contributed to highly cited thyroid eye disease research. Thus, this research area is not exceedingly informed by any singular perspective. Further, it can be interpreted with increased confidence for their generalizability of results to patients globally.

While 147 ZTF exposures corresponded to expected high-activity periods of this FRB, no single ZTF exposure was at the same time as a CHIME detection. No $>3σ$ optical source was found at the FRB location in 683 ZTF exposures, totalling 5.69 hours of integration time. We combined ZTF upper limits and expected repetitions from FRB 180916.J0158+65 in a statistical framework using a Weibull distribution, agnostic of periodic modulation priors. The analysis yielded a constraint on the ratio between the optical and radio fluences of $η\lesssim 200$, corresponding to an optical energy $E_{\rm opt} \lesssim 3 \times 10^{46}$ erg for a fiducial 10 Jy ms FRB (90% confidence). A deeper (but less statistically robust) constraint of $η\lesssim 3$ can be placed assuming a rate of $r(>5$ Jy ms)= hr$^{-1}$ and $1.2\pm 1.1$ FRB occurring during exposures taken in high-activity windows. The constraint can be improved with shorter per-image exposures and longer integration time, or observing FRBs at higher Galactic latitudes. This work demonstrated how current surveys can statistically constrain multi-wavelength counterparts to FRBs even without deliberately scheduled simultaneous radio observation.

description: O projeto de assentamento de Machadinho d’Oeste, RO, na fronteira agrícola da Amazônia Ocidental, criado há 23 anos atrás como um projeto de colonização agrícola, vem sendo acompanhado por uma equipe de pesquisadores da Embrapa Monitoramento por Satélite. Os pesquisadores acompanharam um grupo de 438 famílias de produtores rurais oriundos, principalmente, das Regiões Sul e Sudeste do país, que ocuparam lotes e praticaram atividades de produção familiar. O monitoramento é realizado por intermédio de métodos baseados na utilização de imagens de satélite, sistemas de informações geográficas (SIG) e tratamentos numéricos. A extensa base de dados tem sido utilizada para análise da evolução e diferenciação da pequena agricultura familiar em termos da produção agrícola e da manutenção de sua sustentabilidade agrícola. Procurando saber as principais razões que diferenciam evolutivamente os lotes amostrados, foram analisados os dados dos questionários respondidos por produtores entrevistados em 1986, 1989, 1996, 1999, 2002 e 2005. A evolução nos 20 anos mostra as dificuldades enfrentadas pelos pequenos agricultores familiares que praticam as atividades agrícolas e pecuárias em seus lotes, sendo que em 2005, mais da metade dos agricultores avaliados adquiriram mais de um lote que foram comprados pela melhoria da renda. O aumento da utilização da área que se destacou em 2005, em relação aos anos anteriores, foi a pastagem que encontra-se distribuída em cerca de um quarto das propriedades, gerando, através da atividade de pecuária pela criação de bovinos, grande renda para os agricultores, tanto ao longo do ano com a produção de leite, como de forma mais esporádica com a venda de bezerros, novilhos e vacas. Quanto aos cultivos houve uma diferenciação nos sistemas de produção vegetal, com a redução do cultivo de cereais e o aumento do cultivo do café. Os sistemas agropecuários vêm se caracterizando ao longo dos anos pelo emprego crescente de tecnologia e aumento de produção.

description: A soja é um dos cultivos agrícolas mais praticados no Sul do Brasil, estando presente em milhares de propriedades familiares. Entretanto, estudos acadêmicos vêm comprovando a inviabilidade econômica dessa oleaginosa nas pequenas unidades. Diante disso, o objetivo desse estudo se constitui em verificar os fatores que levam esses agricultores a continuar cultivando essa commodity mesmo em um contexto de inviabilidade econômico-produtivo. Essa pesquisa optou por realizar o trabalho de campo no pequeno município gaúcho de Vitória das Missões, que é caracterizado pelo reduzido tamanho das propriedades e pela enorme difusão da soja nesse contexto. Como procedimento metodológico foram aplicados questionários estruturados aos pequenos produtores que se envolviam em 2006 com a produção da oleaginosa. Os resultados demonstraram que os fatores de maior influência para produção de soja nos pequenos estratos de área estão relacionados à facilidade de comercialização da produção, a existência de crédito rural para o custeio da produção e a falta de conhecimento de outras culturas viáveis.-----------------------------------------The soybean is one of the most practiced agricultural cultures in the South of Brazil, being present in millions of families’ properties. However, academic studies have proved the economical inviability of this bean in the small farms. In front of this, the aim of this study is to verify the factors which conduct these small farmers to continue cultivating this commodity, even in a context of economic-production inviability. This research chose as field work the South’s small municipality Vitória das Missões, which is characterized for its reduced properties’ sizes, and for the broad dissemination of soybean plant in this context. As methodological procedures, structured questionnaires were used to interview small producers which were directly involved with soy’s production. The results show that the main influential factors were related to the facilities for the production trade, to the availability of rural credit for the production, and to lack of knowledge of others feasible agricultural cultures.

description: We argue that the fermionic zero mode in non-trivial gauge field backgrounds must have a zero. We demonstrate this explicitly for calorons where its location is related to a constituent monopole. Furthermore a topological reasoning for the existence of the zero is given which therefore will be present for any non-trivial configuration. We propose the use of this property in particular for lattice simulations in order to uncover the topological content of a configuration.

description: Often in genomic studies, understanding the heterogeneity among the samples can be helpful to address scientific questions directly, as well as to better understand how tomodel the data in downstream analyses. As an example of the former, geneticists are interested in understanding which regions of genome of tumor cells are erroneously too longor too short when compared to their control cells counterparts { a phenomenon known as copy number variation (CNV). Geneticists deploy comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) methods to collect data, which are analyzed by changepoint methods to detect heterogeneity among segments of the genome to directly address this scientific? question. As an example of the latter, single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data give geneticistsnew opportunities to understand how individual cells express different genes at different intensities. In these studies, capturing the heterogeneity among cells is often the ?first step for improved downstream analyses.In this thesis, we design various high-dimensional statistical methods to address the types of heterogeneity often found in genomic data. We provide a high-level overview ofgenomics in the ?first chapter. In the second chapter, we develop a method to determine, among a collection of different microarray expression datasets, a large subset of datasets that have similar covariance matrices, which is applied in an analysis pipeline to help detect genes associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the third and fourth chapters, we develop theoretical understandings of changepoint detection methods and quantify theirdetected changepoints' statistical signi?ficance, which are applied to CGH data to infer which segments of the genome display copy number variation. In the ?fifth chapter, we develop a non-linear dimension reduction method based on matrix factorization for one-parameter exponential-family distributions and study its theoretical properties. Our method is applied to study the cell developmental trajectories of oligodendrocytes { a particular cell type that plays an important role in the central nervous system.
