description: We derive new analytical solutions for the non-affine Johnson-Segalman/Gordon-Schowalter (JS/GS) constitutive equation with a general relaxation kernel in medium-amplitude oscillatory shear (MAOS) deformation. The results show time-strain separable (TSS) nonlinearity, therefore providing new physically-meaningful interpretation to the heuristic TSS nonlinear parameter in MAOS (Martinetti & Ewoldt Phys. Fl. (2019)). The upper-convected, lower-convected, and corotational Maxwell models are all subsets of the results presented here. The model assumes that the microscale elements causing stress in the material slip compared to the continuum deformation. We introduce a visualization of the non-affine deformation field that acts on stress-generating elements to reinforce the physical interpretation of the JS/GS class of models. Finally, a case study is presented where previously published results, from fitting TSS models to MAOS data, can be re-interpreted based on the concept of non-affine motion of the JS/GS framework.

description: The representative farm planning model that is used for the 2005 Purdue University Top Farmer Crop Workshop base case was extended to include managed drainage activities in order to evaluate the impact of drainage management time on farm operations. The analysis considered two alternative enterprises: rotation corn - soybeans with and without controlled drainage activities. The baseline solution assumed that controlled drainage has 10% higher average yields than free flowing drainage, one drainage control structure is needed each 20 acres, and all drainage management work was done on good field days. The results suggest that the baseline optimal solution was rotation corn-soybeans with controlled drainage where 1,500 acres were cultivated with corn following soybeans and 1,500 acres with soybeans following corn. Compared to the enterprise without controlled drainage, the annual returns to resources were 10% and 7.9% higher with and without EQIP subsidy respectively. Time opportunity cost for the managed drainage activities in each time period in the baseline solution was zero except for Dec. 6 - Apr. 21 period when its value was 10 dollars/hour and 108.69 hours of labor were hired. This was because of the controlled drainage activities (both installation and boards removal occur in this time period) that completely utilize full-time field labor and require additional hours of part-time labor to be hired. When hiring part-time labor was not available, the optimal enterprise was rotation corn-soybeans with managed drainage on 2/3 of the farm and corn-soybeans without controlled drainage on 1/3 of the farmland for a total annual contribution margin of 675,505 dollars. Increasing labor available by one more hour would increase the profits by 281.30 dollars (Dec 6 - Apr. 21), 28.06 dollars (Apr 22 - Apr 25), 338.18 dollars (Apr. 26 - May 2), 229.48 dollars (May 3 - May 9), 9 dollars (May 10 - May 16), 28.07 dollars (Nov. 1 - Nov 14 and Nov 15-Dec 5). In the baseline scenario the yield advantage threshold for profitability of managed drainage was 2.3% and 4.5% with and without EQIP subsidy respectively.

description: Let p be any prime and a be a positive integer. For nonnegative integers l,n and an integer r, the normalized cyclotomic $ψ$-coefficient $${n,r}_{l,p^a}:=p^{-[(n-p^{a-1}-lp^a)/(p^{a-1}(p-1))]} \sum_{k=r(mod p^a)}(-1)^k{n \choose k}{{(k-r)/p^a} \choose l}$$ is known to be an integer. In this paper, we show that this coefficient behaves like binomial coefficients and satisfies some Lucas-type congruences. This implies that a congruence of Wan is often optimal, and two conjectures of Sun and Davis are true.

description: Wind farm control is an active and growing field of research in which the control actions of individual turbines in a farm are coordinated, accounting for inter-turbine aerodynamic interaction, to improve the overall performance of the wind farm and to reduce costs. The primary objectives of wind farm control include increasing power production, reducing turbine loads, and providing electricity grid support services. Additional objectives include improving reliability or reducing external impacts to the environment and communities. In 2019, a European research project (FarmConners) was started with the main goal of providing an overview of the state-of-the-art in wind farm control, identifying consensus of research findings, data sets, and best practices, providing a summary of the main research challenges, and establishing a roadmap on how to address these challenges. Complementary to the FarmConners project, an IEA Wind Topical Expert Meeting (TEM) and two rounds of surveys among experts were performed. From these events we can clearly identify an interest in more public validation campaigns. Additionally, a deeper understanding of the mechanical loads and the uncertainties concerning the effectiveness of wind farm control are considered two major research gaps.

description: This paper developed an economic framework to analyze the economic impacts of an ECP on trade flows within the context of a partial equilibrium approach which assumes that non-payment risks are distinct between selling at home and abroad based on difficulties and expense in recovering non-payments are different in the two markets. A two-country partial equilibrium trade model is developed to analyze the economic impact of the export credit insurance and/or guarantees on trade flows. The results also show that to minimize or recover the efficiency loss, an export credit program can be employed to increase the exported quantity and reduce the excessively high equilibrium price as a result of non-payment risk. The overall net welfare loss of the two countries is smaller than the recovered efficiency loss. From the perspective of recovering efficiency loss, the use of an export credit program is justifiable.

description: The equilibrium structure and the dispersion relations of collective excitations in trilayer Yukawa systems in the strongly coupled liquid regime are examined. The equilibrium correlations reveal a variety of structures in the liquid phase, reminiscent of the corresponding structures in the solid phase. At small layer separation substitutional disorder becomes the governing feature. Theoretical dispersion relations are obtained by applying the Quasi-Localised Charge Approximation (QLCA) formalism, while numerical data are generated by micro-canonical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The dispersions and polarizations of the collective excitations obtained through both of these methods are compared and discussed in detail. We find that the QLCA method is, in general, very satisfactory, but that there are phenomena not covered by the QLCA. In particular, by analyzing the dynamical longitudinal and transverse current fluctuation spectra we discover the existence of a novel structure, not related to the collective mode spectra. This also provides a new insight into the long-standing problem of the gap frequency discrepancy, observed in strongly coupled layered systems in earlier studies.

description: The high-order behavior of the perturbation expansion in the cubic replica field theory of spin glasses in the paramagnetic phase has been investigated. The study starts with the zero-dimensional version of the replica field theory and this is shown to be equivalent to the problem of finding finite size corrections in a modified spherical spin glass near the critical temperature. We find that the high-order behavior of the perturbation series is described, to leading order, by coefficients of alternating signs (suggesting that the cubic field theory is well-defined) but that there are also subdominant terms with a complicated dependence of their sign on the order. Our results are then extended to the d-dimensional field theory and in particular used to determine the high-order behavior of the terms in the expansion of the critical exponents in a power series in epsilon=6-d. We have also corrected errors in the existing epsilon expansions at third order.

Natural regeneration on abandoned cutblock roads in the Okanagan Timber Supply Area

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Current knowledge of access structure site productivity is inadequate for determining whether these sites can support substantial tree growth. While many studies have examined tree growth on skidtrails and landings, their conclusions are based upon short-term results, and cannot be used to predict future stand growth. Several studies designed to assess the long-term effects of soil disturbance on tree growth are currently ongoing. This study looked retrospectively at disturbed sites within the Okanagan TSA in order to gain some understanding regarding the long-term effects of cutblock roads on forest site productivity. Productivity measures were employed to assess tree regeneration on traffic and non-traffic areas on roads that had been abandoned by traffic for at least 20 years. Adjacent non-roaded cutblock areas were used as controls. Study sites were established in six areas. Soils information, including bulk density, macroporosity, texture, coarse-fragment content, and organic matter content was collected from one study area. In total, over 80 traffic, non-traffic and control plots were established. The study found that the effects of cutblock roads varied significantly within the study areas among the study sites. There was no statistically significant reduction in site index of trees growing on areas where cutblock roads had been established. Traffic area stand densities, however, were found to have an overall average reduction of 70% when compared to control areas. Soil fine fraction bulk density on traffic road plots was found to be 36% greater than that of control plots. Non-traffic road plots had 16% higher fine fraction bulk density than controls. Macroporosity was reduced by 55% within traffic road plots, and by 38% within non-traffic road plots, when compared to control soil macroporosity. Within the traffic road plots, both site index and stand density were correlated with both soil bulk density and macroporosity. Plots with low site indices and low stand densities were associated with higher soil bulk density and low soil macroporosity. In addition, on traffic road plots, higher clay content was associated with low site index and low stand density. On traffic road plots, there was a correlation between site index and site tree age. This was not observed within either the non-traffic road plots or the control plots. This might be interpreted as a sign of site recovery being reflected in increased rates of tree growth.

description: The real effective value of the Australian dollar declined sharply between early 1985 and September 1986. 'Market fundamentals' associated with the deterioration in Australia's terms of trade and current account, and rising foreign debt levels are the commonly cited explanation for the decline. However, several other shorter term influences may have also contributed. Theoretical and empirical analysis indicates that market fundamentals might explain, at most, 20 percentage points of the 37 per cent decline in the rate over this period. Thus, a significant real appreciation would be expected over the medium term prior to, and quite independently of, any recovery in Australia's terms of trade in general or in world farm commodity prices in particular.

Friction Force Microscopy (FFM) as an atomic force microscopy based technique is capable to obtain materials specific information in addition to electrical and structural properties of catalysts in liquid media and under electrochemical conditions. This is especially relevant as surface transitions at early catalytic activity are subtle and might be easily overseen by pure topography mapping.It is the objective of this work to demonstrate the capabilities of FFM for investigating (electro)catalysts. It has been shown earlier that the frictional behavior of a bare metal differs significantly from its oxy/hydroxy-terminated surface under electrochemical conditions.The new results on combined electrochemical and frictional experiments on well-defined epitaxial perovskite oxide structures in aqueous liquids are illustrated. This approach represents the first application of these technique with respect to (electro)catalysis. Simultaneously recorded cyclic voltammograms and lateral forces, so-called frictograms, allow to correlate subtle and local surface transformations and the applied potential precisely.In conclusion, FFM represents a versatile new operando technique to investigate (electro)catalytic reactions under dynamic conditions on a local scale with high sensitivity to materials and structural changes.

description: The halo masses of nearby individual elliptical galaxies can be estimated by using the kinematics of their stars, planetary nebulae, and globular clusters -- ideally in combination. With currently improving coverage of galaxies of ordinary luminosities and morphologies, systematic trends may be identified. Bright, boxy ellipticals show strong signatures of dark matter, while faint, disky ones typically do not. The former result is problematic for the MOND theory of gravity, and the latter is a challenge to explain in the LCDM paradigm of galaxy formation.

Starting form the spin-fermion model, a spinon field, which is either fermion or boson, is introduced to represent the localized spin moment. We find a d-wave superconductive state in the mean field theory in the case of the fermion representation of the localized spin moment that corresponds to the slave boson mean field theory of the t-J model, whereas the d-wave superconductive state is absent in case of the Schwinger boson representation of the localized spin moments.

description: The binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 was observed by gravitational wave detectors during the inspiral phase but sensitivity in the 1-5 kHz band was insufficient to observe the expected nuclear matter signature of the merger itself, and the process of black hole formation. This provides strong motivation for improving 1--5 kHz sensitivity which is currently limited by photon shot noise. Resonant enhancement by signal recycling normally improves the signal to noise ratio at the expense of bandwidth. The concept of optomechanical white light signal recycling (WLSR) has been proposed, but all schemes to date have been reliant on the development of suitable ultra-low mechanical loss components. Here for the first time we show demonstrated optomechanical resonator structures that meet the loss requirements for a WLSR interferometer with strain sensitivity below 10$^{-24}$ Hz$^{-1/2}$ at a few kHz. Experimental data for two resonators are combined with analytic models of 4km interferometers similar to LIGO, to demonstrate sensitivity enhancement across a much broader band of neutron star coalescence frequencies than dual-recycled Fabry-Perot Michelson detectors of the same length. One candidate resonator is a silicon nitride membrane acoustically isolated from the environment by a phononic crystal. The other is a single-crystal quartz lens that supports bulk acoustic longitudinal waves. Optical power requirements could prefer the membrane resonator, although the bulk acoustic wave resonator gives somewhat better thermal noise performance. Both could be implemented as add-on components to existing detectors.
Efficient Coannihilation Process through Strong Higgs Self-Coupling in LKP Dark Matter Annihilation

description: We point out that the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle (LKP) dark matter in universal extra dimension (UED) models efficiently annihilates through the coannihilation process including the first KK Higgs bosons when the Higgs mass is slightly heavy as 200 - 230 GeV, which gives the large Higgs self-coupling. The large self-coupling naturally leads the mass degeneracy between the LKP and the first KK Higgs bosons and large annihilation cross sections of the KK Higgs bosons. These are essential for the enhancement of the annihilation of the LKP dark matter, which allows large compactification scale \sim 1 TeV to be consistent with cosmological observations for the relic abundance of dark matter. We found that the thermal relic abundance of the LKP dark matter could be reconciled with the stringent constraint of electroweak precision measurements in the minimal UED model.

description: We demonstrate the impact that present lepton flavour and CP violation data - neutrino oscillations, baryon asymmetry of the universe, flavour violations in charged lepton decays and lepton electric dipole moments - have on supersymmetric seesaw theories by analysing the class of models based on a U(1) flavour symmetry. The fermion U(1) charges are determined to a large extent by the data, the flavour patterns being naturally defined through their choice. The selected models generically predict mu -> e gamma within the reach of the projected experiments, which could be sensitive enough to exclude the whole class of them. By now, the present sensitivity to mu -> e gamma already provides stringent bounds on the contribution of the seesaw couplings to the lepton electric dipole moments.

description: One of the issues that relate directly to the exploitation of oil and gas in the Republic of Congo, alongside that of sovereignty, is their appropriation by the state. Indeed, it turns out that the national priority — which is given to their exploitation — entails incidentally that the strategic importance of the state's action remains first to affirm the full control of oil and gas resources through their appropriation. The latter does not, however, as in state-owned law or property rights, aim to classify oil and gas resources in the domain of the state in order to make them inalienable and imprescriptible. Above all, having regard to the new conception of the management of public property of the state, it is a question of managing these fossil resources as economic resources of their owner. This paper addresses the issue of Oil and Gas as a public property of the state and its incorporation in the national patrimony in Republique of Congo.

description: The generation of light beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) from a free-electron laser at short wavelengths has attracted considerable attention as a key resource in several fields and applications. Herein, we present a facile method to generate intense and coherent OAM beams from an X-ray free-electron laser oscillator (XFELO). We use the Bragg crystal as both a reflector as well as mode selector, in both longitudinal and transverse modes, which enables the specified resonance deviation that maximizes the single-pass gain of the high-order OAM mode of interest. This can allow the amplification and saturation of OAM beams in a typical XFELO configuration. Our results show that 150~$μ$J fully coherent, hard-X-ray pulses carrying first-order OAM can be generated without utilizing any external elements such as optical mode converters or elliptically polarized undulators. This simple and straightforward method can pave the way for the further customization of the transverse-mode operation of X-ray free-electron laser oscillators.

description: Non topological solitons, Q-balls can arise in many particle theories with U(1) global symmetries. As was shown by Cohen et al. \cite{Qballscohen}, if the corresponding scalar field couples to massless fermions, large Q-balls are unstable and evaporate, producing a fermion flux proportional to the Q-ball's surface. In this paper we analyse Q-ball instabilities as a function of Q-ball size ans fermion mass. In particular, we construct an exact quantum-mechanical description of the evaporating Q-ball. This new construction provides an alternative method to compute Q-Ball's evaporation rates. We shall also find the new expression for the upper bound on evaporation as a function of the produced fermion mass and study the effects of Q ball's size on particle production.

description: In this contribution, we reformulated the bidirectional teleportation protocol suggested in [7], by means of Bloch vectors as well as the local operations are represented by using Pauli operators. Analytical and numerical calculations for the teleported state and Fisher information are introduced. It is shown that both quantities depend on the initial state settings of the teleported qubits and their triggers. The Fidelities and the Fisher information of the bidirectionally teleported states are maximized when the qubit and its trigger are polarized in the same direction. The minimum values are predicted if both initial qubits have different polarization or non-zero phase. The maximum values of the Fidelity and the quantum Fisher information are the same, but they are predicted at different polarization angles. We display that the multi-parameter form is much better than the single parameter form, where it satisfies the bounds of classical, entangled systems and the uncertainty principle.

description: Let $X$ be a Riemann domain over $\mathbb C^k\times\mathbb C^\ell$. If $X$ is domain of holomorphy with respect to a family $\mathcal F\subset\mathcal O(X)$, then there exists a pluripolar set $P\subset\mathcal C^k$ such that every slice $X_a$ of $X$ with $a\notin P$ is a domain of holomorphy with respect to the family $\{f|_{X_a}: f\in\mathcal F\}$.

description: We propose a privacy-preserving machine learning scheme with encryption-then-compression (EtC) images, where EtC images are images encrypted by using a block-based encryption method proposed for EtC systems with JPEG compression. In this paper, a novel property of EtC images is first discussed, although EtC ones was already shown to be compressible as a property. The novel property allows us to directly apply EtC images to machine learning algorithms non-specialized for computing encrypted data. In addition, the proposed scheme is demonstrated to provide no degradation in the performance of some typical machine learning algorithms including the support vector machine algorithm with kernel trick and random forests under the use of z-score normalization. A number of facial recognition experiments with are carried out to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

A comparison study of depression, daily hassles, and social support in adolescents with and without intellectual disabilities
Creators: name: VandeKamp, Karen J. Ott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examined depression, social support, and daily hassles in a school-based sample of 50 adolescents with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities (27 males, 23 females) and an age- and gender-matched group of 50 adolescents without intellectual disabilities. They included students in grades 8 to 12, ages 13 to 19 years. Data were collected at 14 secondary schools in 3 school districts in the Greater Vancouver Regional District of British Columbia, Canada. Depressed mood, daily hassles, and perceived social support were assessed using 3 selfreport measures: the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale (RADS; Reynolds, 1986a), Adolescent Hassles Inventory (AHI; Reynolds & Waltz, 1984a, 1988), and Adolescent Support Inventory (ASI; Reynolds & Waltz, 1984b, 1988), respectively. Adolescents with intellectual disabilities were compared to their peers without intellectual disabilities on total mean scores for the 3 measures. Males and females were also examined separately for each question. Results of t-tests and 2 x 2 ANOVAs indicated that adolescents with intellectual disabilities endorsed a significantly higher level of depressive symptomatology than their peers without intellectual disabilities (g < .05). Gender differences were also found, with females evidencing greater depression scores in both groups (p < .05). Also, males with intellectual disabilities reported a significantly lower level of perceived social support than their samegender peers without intellectual disabilities (p < .05). No group or gender differences were found in amount of reported daily hassles. Results of bivariate correlations suggested a positive relationship between depressed mood and daily hassles, as well as a negative relationship between depressed mood and perceived social support for both adolescents with and without intellectual disabilities. No significant differences in these relationships were noted for either group or gender. The evidence presented in this study highlights the need for socio-environmental variables such as perceived social support to be considered key factors associated with depressed mood in adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Future investigations should employ prospective or longitudinal study designs to allow for an examination of directionality and/or buffering effects in the relationships among life stress, social support, and depressed mood. Previous research that have employed these methods with adolescents without intellectual disabilities have contributed greatly to our understanding of depression in adolescence. Corresponding research for adolescents with intellectual disabilities is warranted to identify some of the underlying factors causing or exacerbating depression, and to develop improved methods of supporting these individuals through prevention and intervention programs.

Sciaena radians

description: Sciaena? radians (Koken, 1888)
Fig. 26 BB–CC
Otolithus (Sciaenidarum) radians Koken, 1888: 280.
Material examined
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Mississippi • 3 sagittae; Catahoula Formation; MMNS VP-8934, MMNS VP-12076 (Fig. 26 BB–CC), SC 2013.28.763.
Description
The outline of the sagitta is somewhat rectangular (sensu Smale et al. 1995), but the anterior, dorsal, and ventral margins are slightly convex and rounded to various degrees (Fig. 26 BB). The margins are typically smooth, and there is a highly characteristic inframedian tip on the posterior margin. The inner face is moderately convex (Fig. 26 CC) and characterized by a very large and prominent heterosulcoid-type sulcus. The ostium is noticeably large in its length and height. The ostium extends from near the anterodorsal margin well into the ventral field and is largest at the posterior portion. The ventral margin of the ostium curves distinctly upward toward the anterior margin and is subparallel to the anteroventral margin. The posteroventral portion of the ostium extends conspicuously underneath the cauda, especially on larger specimens. The height of the cauda is about 30% of the height of the ostium. The cauda has a characteristic horizontal and downturned component. The horizontal and downturned portions are of similar length, but the downturned portion is usually slightly longer on the larger specimens (Nolf 2003: pl. 4 figs 1–3). The outer face becomes somewhat more irregular on larger specimens. The outer face is nearly flat on small specimens but is more convex on larger specimens, although it is not nearly as convex as the inner face.
Remarks
Koken (1888) originally named Otolithus (Sciaenidarum) gemma based on specimens labeled only as “Vicksburg” from Mississippi, USA. Unfortunately, Koken’s type suite actually contained three different species, including Sciaena? radians, S.? pseudoradians, and Aplodinotus gemma (see discussion in Nolf 2003). Only three specimens of Sciaena? radians were recovered from the Catahoula Formation (less than 1% of the total specimens), and the species is the least common of the sciaenids within the otolith assemblage. Although “ S.? ” radians is widespread in the Gulf Coastal Plain and is known from many Oligocene formations in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama (Nolf 2003, 2013; Stringer & Worley 2003; Worley 2004; Stringer et al. 2020c), the species is similarly rare in those assemblages.

description: We consider the Cauchy problem for the scalar wave equation in the Kerr geometry for smooth initial data supported outside the event horizon. We prove that the solutions decay in time in L^\infty_loc. The proof is based on a representation of the solution as an infinite sum over the angular momentum modes, each of which is an integral of the energy variable on the real line. This integral representation involves solutions of the radial and angular ODEs which arise in the separation of variables.

description: We show that diffeomorphism invariance of the Maxwell and the Dirac-Hestenes equations implies the equivalence among different universe models such that if one has a linear connection with non-null torsion and/or curvature the others have also. On the other hand local Lorentz invariance implies the surprising equivalence among different universe models that have in general different G-connections with different curvature and torsion tensors.
