description: We investigate the effective Dirac equation, corrected by merging two scenarios that are expected to emerge towards the quantum gravity scale. Namely, the existence of a minimal length, implemented by the generalized uncertainty principle, and exotic spinors, associated with any non-trivial topology equipping the spacetime manifold. We show that the free fermionic dynamical equations, within the context of a minimal length, just allow for trivial solutions, a feature that is not shared by dynamical equations for exotic spinors. In fact, in this coalescing setup, the exoticity is shown to prevent the Dirac operator to be injective, allowing the existence of non-trivial solutions.

description: This paper reports regression results identifying the variables influencing a country’s performance in international soccer games. The results reveal that economic, demographic, cultural and climatic factors are important. In particular, inverted U-shape relationships are identified with respect to temperature and per-capita wealth. We also find a significant interaction between Latin cultural origin and population size, while both variables are individually insignificant. Explanations for our results are offered.

description: This paper studies the daily stock price reaction to new information of portfolios grouped by size quintiles. To that end, cross-correlations, autocorrelations and Dimson beta regressions are analyzed. Based on a sample of shares traded in the Santiago de Chile Stock Exchange for the 1991-1998 period, results show that larger company stock prices –as measured by market capitalization– react to both good and bad news sooner than the smaller ones do. Thus a crossed effect appears, although not as a cascade: only the prices of large firms react earlier than the rest. These effects do not seem to be caused by non-trading. There also are significant asymmetric lagged and cross-effects. Good news has a more pronounced lagged effect than bad news does.
The biomechanics of intermediate filament-based materials : insights from hagfish slime threads
Creators: name: Fudge, Douglas Steven
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Intermediate filaments (IFs) provide mechanical integrity to a wide range of biomaterials, from soft epithelia to hard keratins such as nail and horn. Although much is known about the mechanical properties of IF-rich materials such as hair, the mechanical properties of individual IFs are unknown. In this thesis, I employed hagfish slime threads, which are composed almost exclusively of highly aligned IFs, as a model for exploring the mechanics of IFs both in living cells and keratinized tissues. Experiments with hydrated slime threads suggest that IFs in cells are extremely soft, extensible, strong, and tough when compared to actin filaments and microtubules. These data support the view that the main role of IFs in cells is to provide mechanical integrity and strength. The data also suggest that IFs are likely to provide the primary passive mechanism by which cells recover from large deformations. Structural data suggest that post-yield deformation of IFs leads to an irreversible α→β transition, which may be used by cells as a mechanosensory cue. Tensile tests in air revealed that dehydrated IFs behave similarly to hard akeratins in water, suggesting that one role of the hard α -keratin matrix is to maintain IFs in a dehydrated state, even when immersed in water. Recovery tests suggest that an additional role of the matrix is to permit full recovery from postyield deformations by both inhibiting β-sheet formation and providing a restoring force in parallel to the IFs. The dramatic difference in properties between wet and dry slime threads suggests that hydrated IFs consist of soft and rigid components arranged in series. These components correspond to the terminal and coiled coil domains of the IF protein dimers, respectively. This arrangement of components is the key to understanding the remarkable mechanical versatility of IFs. Experiments on hagfish slime revealed aspects of the slime's mechanical properties, its mechanism of formation, and some behavioral aspects of its release. Results from these experiments suggest that hagfish slime does not behave as a fibre-reinforced composite, but as an extremely dilute assemblage of protein threads and mucins that functions to protect hagfishes from gill-breathing predators.

description: This paper studies firms’ incentives to invest in environmental R&D under different market structures (Cournot and Bertrand) and environmental policy instruments (emission standards, taxes, tradable permits and auctioned permits). Because of market strategic effects, R&D incentives vary widely across market structures and instruments. For example, when firms’ products are strategic substitutes (i.e., Cournot), either emission standards, taxes or auctioned permits can provide the most incentives. But when firms’ products are strategic complements, either taxes or auctioned permits provide the most incentives. If markets are perfectly competitive, however, permits and emission standards offer similar incentives that are lower than those offered by taxes.

description: In this paper we propose a modification of the traditional Mundell-Fleming model. The extended model introduces the implications of including the fiscal deficit and international reserves as determinants of the level of country risk. This slight modification of the traditional paradigm leads to radical changes in the effects that fiscal and monetary policies have in economies with high capital mobility under an extreme version of a fixed exchange rate regime (Currency Board). We use the proposed model to evaluate some of the economic policies implemented between December 1999 and March 2001 by the first economic team under the Presidency of Fernando De la Rúa in Argentina. Additionally, we suggest that some of the main results obtained from the model are applicable to other emerging economies.

description: EU Accession has had the most impact on the agricultural sector and rural dwellers’ living conditions. Currently the first phase of EU Structural Funds benefits is coming to an end. The objective of this study is to provide an international overview on how to make use of rural development support within the new EU Member States. It also seeks to determine the importance of rural development in national development programmes, and the nature of measures intended to improve the quality of rural life, and whether these can possibly mesh with the objective indicators of agriculture.

description: Besides its natural potential, Hungarian agriculture's major current advantage is low land prices and rental fees. Economic theory suggests that as Hungarian economic performance approaches the EU average, production costs will also become equal. Increasing land prices, generated by higher rentals fees, will mean landowners continually remove more agricultural income and Hungary’s competitive advantage will dwindle. Moreover, subsequent capital withdrawal will lead to weaker agricultural investments. The aim of land policy is to assist the land use of those farmers who make a living from agricultural production. To increase competitiveness one needs income security and policy efficiency meshing land ownership with land use for those farms wishing to acquire more land This is particularly true for full-time farmers and for farms that can become commercially viable. Presently the land market is unstable. This instability, coupled with rigid legislative controls on a rising desire for land acquisition, could lead to escalating land prices. A sudden surge in prices would hurt hands-on farmers, and strengthen the bargaining power of those landowners who are not actually engaged in farming.

description: The hypothesis behind this paper is that agri-environmental measures (AEMs) in Hungary, and probably in the other EU New Member States, are not merely substitutes for traditional agricultural subsidies, but measures which could support rural development and encourage environmentally sustainable agricultural production. The first part of this paper examines concepts closely related to AEMs, as well as the place of AEMs in regional, rural, and agricultural development policy. The second part shows how agri-environmental measures have gained ground in Hungary. The third part presents the results of an analysis of the Hungarian AEMs’ database. Finally, based on the literature and analysis findings, it is suggested that, for sustainable development, one needs to economically evaluate natural resources in agriculture.
A self-consistent numerical approach to track particles in FEL interaction with electromagnetic field modes

description: In this paper we present a novel approach to FEL simulations based on the decomposition of the electromagnetic field in a finite number of radiation modes. The evolution of each mode amplitude is simply determined by energy conservation. The code is developed as an expansion of the General Particle Tracer framework and adds important capabilities to the suite of well-established numerical simulations already available to the FEL community. The approach is not based on the period average approximation and can handle long-wavelength waveguide FELs as it is possible to include the dispersion effects of the boundaries. Futhermore, it correctly simulates lower charge systems where both transverse and longitudinal space charge forces still play a significant role in the dynamics. For free-space FEL interactions, a source dependent expansion approximation can be used to limit the number of transverse modes required to model the field profile and speed up the calculation of the system evolution. Three examples are studied in detail including a single pass FEL amplifier, the high efficiency TESSA266 scenario and a THz waveguide FEL operating in the zero-slippage regime.

We analytically solve the constraint equations of five-dimensional Einstein equations for momentarily static and conformally flat initial data of a spheroidal mass. We numerically search for an apparent horizon in various initial hypersurfaces and find both necessary and sufficient conditions for the horizon formation in terms of inequalities relating a geometric quantity and a mass defined in an appropriate manner. In the case of infinitely thin spheroid, our results suggest a possibility of naked singularity formation by the spindle gravitational collapse in five-dimensional space-time.

description: Quenched post-starburst galaxies (QPSBs) are a rare but important class of galaxies that show signs of rapid cessation or recent rejuvenation of star formation. A recent observation shows that about half of QPSBs have large amounts of cold gas. This molecular CO sample is, however, too small and is not without limitations. Our work aims to verify previous results by applying a new method to study a uniformly selected sample, more than 10 times larger. In particular, we present detailed analysis of H$α$/H$β$ ratios of face-on QPSBs at $z = 0.02 - 0.15$ and with $M_\star = 10^{10}-10^{11}\,M_\odot$. We interpret the H$α$/H$β$ ratios by applying our recent gas mass calibration, which is based on non-PSB galaxies but predicts gas masses that are consistent with CO observations of $\sim 100$ PSBs. We estimate the molecular gas by either using PSBs with well-measured H$α$/H$β$ ratios or by measuring them from stacked spectra. Our analysis reveals that QPSBs have a wide range of H$α$/H$β$ ratios and molecular gas fractions that overlap with the typical gas fractions of star-forming or quiescent galaxies: H$α$/H$β\approx 3-8$ and $f_\mathrm{H_2} \approx 1\%-20\%$ with median $f_\mathrm{H_2} \approx 4\%-6\%$, which correspond to $M_\mathrm{H_2} \approx (1-3) \times 10^{9} \,M_\odot$. Our results indicate that large reservoirs of cold gas are still present in significant numbers of QPSBs, and that they arguably were not removed or destroyed by feedback from active galactic nuclei.

description: High-temperature superconductors (HTS) are important for potential applications and for understanding the origin of strong correlations. Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ (BSCCO), a van der Waals material, offers a platform to probe the physics down to a unit-cell. Guiding the flow of electrons by patterning 2DEGS and oxide heterostructures has brought new functionality and access to new science. Similarly, modifying superconductivity in HTS locally, on a small length scale, will be of immense interest for superconducting electronics. Here we report transport studies on few unit-cell thick BSCCO and modify its superconductivity locally by depositing metal on the surface. Deposition of chromium (Cr) on the surface over a selected area of BSCCO results in insulating behavior of the patterned region. Cr locally depletes oxygen in CuO$_2$ planes and disrupts the superconductivity in the layers below. Our technique of modifying superconductivity is suitable for making sub-micron superconducting wires and more complex superconducting electronic devices.

description: Most massive stars exchange mass with a companion, leading to evolution which is altered drastically from that expected of stars in isolation. Such systems are the result of unusual binary evolution pathways and, as such, may be used to place stringent constraints on the physics of these interactions. We use the R4 system's B[e] supergiant, which has been postulated to be the product of a binary stellar merger, to guide our understanding of such outcomes by comparing observations of R4 to the results of simulations of mergers performed with the 3d hydrodynamics code FLASH. Our approach tailors the simulation initial conditions to the observed properties of R4 and implements realistic stellar profiles generated by the 1d stellar evolution code MESA onto the 3d grid, resolving the merger inspiral to within $0.02\, R_{\odot}$. We then map the merger remnant into MESA to track its evolution on the HR diagram over a period of $10^4$ years. This generates models for a B[e] supergiant with stellar properties, age, and nebula structure in qualitative agreement with that of the R4 system. Our calculations provide concrete evidence to support the idea that R4 was originally a member of a triple system in which the inner binary merged after its most massive member evolved off the main sequence, producing a new object that is of similar mass yet significantly more luminous than the A supergiant companion. The potential applications of the code framework presented in this paper are wide ranging and can be used to generate models of a variety of merger stellar remnants.
A Mass Transference Principle and the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture for Hausdorff measures

description: A Hausdorff measure version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in metric number theory is introduced and discussed. The general conjecture is established modulo the original conjecture. The key result is a Mass Transference Principle which allows us to transfer Lebesgue measure theoretic statements for lim sup subsets of R^k to Hausdorff measure theoretic statements. In view of this, the Lebesgue theory of lim sup sets is shown to underpin the general Hausdorff theory. This is rather surprising since the latter theory is viewed to be a subtle refinement of the former.

description: In light of the large amount of new experimental data, we revisit the determination of V_{cb} and m_b from inclusive semileptonic and radiative B decays. We study shape variables to order lqcd^3/m_b^3 and alpha_s^2β_0, and include the order alpha_s, lqcd/m_b correction to the hadron mass spectrum in semileptonic decay, which improves the agreement with the data. We focus on the 1S and kinetic mass schemes for the b quark, with and without expanding m_b-m_c in HQET. We perform fits to all available data from BABAR, BELLE, CDF, CLEO, and DELPHI, discuss the theoretical uncertainties, and compare with earlier results. We find V_{cb} = (41.4 +- 0.6 +- 0.1) x 10^{-3} and m_b^{1S} = 4.68 +- 0.03 GeV, including our estimate of the theoretical uncertainty in the fit.

description: We investigate a deformed matrix model of type 0A theory related to supersymmetric Witten's black hole in two-dimensions, generalization of bosonic model suggested by Kazakov et. al. We find a free field realization of the partition function of the matrix model, which includes Ramond-Ramond perturbations in the type 0A theory. In a simple case, the partition function is factorized into two determinants, which are given by $τ$ function of an integrable system. We work out the genus expansion of the partition function. Holographic relation with the supersymmetric Witten's black hole is checked by Wilson line computation. Corresponding partition function of the matrix model exhibits a singular behavior, which is interpreted as the point of enhanced ${\cal N}=2$ worldsheet supersymmetry. Interesting relation of the deformed matrix model and topological string on a $Z_2$ orbifold of conifold is found.

description: When measuring environmentally conscious behaviour and determining its variables, focus often lies only on consumers, but environmental conservation requires not only the consumers’ but also the producers’ input. After defining environmentally conscious behaviour, I utilized the market research method to determine how participating in agri-environmental programs and subsidies affects producers’ environmental consciousness and waste management behaviour. The research result indicates that participation in agri-environmental programs develops producers’ environmental sensitivity, and improves their environmentally conscious behaviour, and this even holds true for waste management, which is not directly not subsidized by the programs.

description: Australia is a significant player in world trade for several commodities and agriculture is a vital part of the Australian economy. Around 60% of Australia is devoted to agriculture, with three broad zones in which agricultural activity occurs. These are referred to as the pastoral, wheat–sheep, and high rainfall zones. Australia had only about 130,000 commercial farms in 2005, so average farm size is high. Australia's agriculture is market driven and export-oriented. For some products, aggregations for values of production and for export values are not directly comparable because export values reflect the value of more highly processed products such as sugar and wine. Overall, about 65% of agricultural production is exported, representing about 25% of total merchandise exports. The processed agrifood products share of total merchandise exports has doubled since 1986-88. Between 1986-88 and 2002-04, the support to producers in Australia decreased from 8% to 4% of the total value of agricultural production. Australia has the second lowest level of producer support across OECD members. Productivity has grown at an average annual rate of 2.8% for the past 3 decades (Dolman et al, 2005).

Subjects: Lynx pilot 3, labour law pilot, Lynx project

description: This deliverable summarizes the final results of the Lynx use case developed for labour law and explains all relevant parts of the pilot and activities done around it (business use case into the Lynx project). Section 1 introduces some of the difficulties that lawyers or legal experts encounter when working with legal documents from different jurisdictions in multiple languages. In this use case, we aim to demonstrate how semantic technologies and the use of knowledge graphs can contribute to assist lawyers (and non-lawyers) in accessing and processing international legislation. How to apply these technologies and how to simplify the interaction of users with legal data by providing an easy-to-use interface, are some of the challenging aspects that we face in this pilot. Section 2 describes our use case in more detail, focusing on the main objectives of a law firm like Cuatrecasas, and how the solution built in Lynx can help its clients and prospects. We explain our envisioned solution by providing detailed information of the functional requirements derived from several functional meetings. At this point, a level-of-implementation gap analysis is also included to detail and explain what you can find finally implemented in this last deliverable. As part of this final demonstrator, in Section 3 we show the core of the solution, also known as the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Here we explain scope redefinitions and design changes that differ from the initial idea. In this section we want to highlight those parts of the project which have been fundamental within the pilot, even if not all of them have finally materialized in the final solution. To better illustrate the resultant application, and how it works, we have included a Tour Guide through the Beta version of this implemented MVP with commented screenshots, introducing the main functionalities. In Section 4, we explain the different components of the Application Architecture (functional but also giving some technical details). This includes a description of the core architecture and main components and how they interact with the Lynx platform and the Lynx services as “building blocks”. To conclude, Section 5 explains relevant activities and experiments, intermediate lines of work, that have also been important for the project. Additionally, outlook and next steps are described. The report is supplemented with four annexes, which provide additional information and context: “Sample of real questionnaires”, based on previous real international operations by the company “Legal Knowledge Graph in the labour use case”, putting our use case in the context of the global LKG “Chatbots, QA and Semantic Search working together”, an analysis of these different technologies and how and why to combine them. “User validation and feedback”, as an example of the work done on results and accuracy testing and training services

Thus, the obtained results are applied in two dimensional linear infinite distributed systems in Hilbert space where the dynamics are governed by strongly continuous semi-group. Moreover, we give the relation between the regional gradient observability on a subregion small Gama of the spatial domain Omega with the regional boundary gradient observability on a subregion Gama of the boundary Omega of. Finally, sufficient conditions of regional boundary gradient strategic sensors notions are explored, analyzed and discussed in connection with the regional boundary gradient of exact (weak) observability, positive definite observability operator and rank conditions.

description: Apoptosis, repair and senescence are tools which an organism can use in a risk management process that balances the threats posed by damaged, existing cells against the difficulty and cost of replacing them. If they are orchestrated effectively the organism can gain a degree of risk reduction, appropriate for a particular tissue and time of life, at minimum cost.
Where resources allow, apoptosis eliminates risks posed by damaged cells. Where resources are constrained, senescence trades immediate threats posed by damaged cells for longer-term risks including inflammation, metastasis and epigenetic instability. This extension of the risk horizon is consistent with an evolutionary need to keep an organism adequately healthy, for sufficiently long, that it can raise healthy offspring.
Negative consequences of senescence can be minimised by ensuring that senescence is rarely needed. Where senescence is unavoidable, it is desirable to engineer outcomes that halt proliferation without altering or damaging chromatin.

description: Orientational ordering driven by mechanical distortion of soft substrates plays a major role in material transformation processes such as elastocapillarity and surface anchoring. We present a theoretical model of the orientational response of anisotropic rods deposited onto a surface of a soft, elastic substrate of finite thickness. We show that anisotropic rods exhibit a continuous isotropic-nematic phase transition, driven by orientational interactions between surface deposited rods. This interaction is mediated by the deformation of the underlying elastic substrate, and is quantified by the Boussinesq solution adapted to the case of slender, surface deposited rods. From the microscopic rod-rod interactions we derive the appropriate Maier-Saupe mean-field description, which includes the Boussinesq elastic free-energy contribution due to the substrate elasticity, derive the conditions for the existence of a continuous orientational ordering transition and discuss the implication of results in the soft (bio) systems context.

subject: food security

description: Japan, with a population of about 125 million, is a major importer of agricultural products. Japan's mountainous topography limits the area available for farming, with a total cultivated land area of around 4.8 million hectares. Farm holdings are small, averaging just over 1.5 hectares. Japan has producer support levels among the highest in OECD, driven in part by food security concerns and memories of food shortages during World War II and its aftermath. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) has used a combination of border measures, domestic policies including direct budgetary payments, regulation and mandated administrative processes to support domestic production. This policy note first provides an overview of the policies that Japan has traditionally used to support its agricultural sector. Following this, new policy developments that seem to signal a shift towards a more decoupled framework are described. Finally, some possible changes in the structure of Japanese agriculture resulting from demographic drivers are outlined.
U(1) gauge invariant noncommutative Schrödinger theory and gravity
Creators: name: Muthukumar, B.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the complex, massive Klein-Gordon field living in the noncommutative space, and coupled to noncommutative electromagnetic fields. After employing the Seiberg-Witten map to first order, we analyze the noncommutative Klein-Gordon theory as $ c $, the velocity of light, goes to infinity. We show that the theory exhibits a regular "magnetic" limit only for certain forms of magnetic fields. The resulting theory is nothing but the Schrödinger theory in a gravitational background generated by the gauge fields.

A poetic meditation on existence : a study of three novels by Yu Hua
Creators: name: Li, Hua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research paper makes an overall analysis of Yu Hua's three novels: Crying Out in the Drizzle, To live and Xu Sanguan Sells his Blood in order to establish that Yu Hua's constant aim in his writing is to examine the existence of human beings marginalized in history. While not necessarily aiming at overt political criticism, Yu Hua's works seek to identify how individuals survive or fail to survive in Mao Zedong's China. This research paper begins with an examination of Yu Hua's early life, discuss how he started his writing career, reveal his attitude to writing and world view through a brief analysis of his early short stories as well as through a clarification of his involvement in the so-called "Avant-Garde School." I then concentrate on Yu Hua's three long novels: Crying out in the Drizzle, which is regarded as the climax of Yu Hua's experimental writing as well as a transitional work to his more traditional realistic writing style; To Live and Xu Sanguan Sells His Blood, the latter two works marking a successful change in his writing style. This thesis will then systematically examine the following aspects of these novels: plot structure, theme, vision, historical background, cultural implications, psychology, archetypal symbols, narrative technique and style.

description: This study describes and compares cow-calf operations and assesses their relative competitiveness, developing performance measures for a sample of U.S. farms. We find that larger operations tend to be significantly more scale and technically efficient than smaller operations. However, we do not find significant differences in net farm returns by size except on medium large operations—showing virtually no net return on farm assets in 2007. While larger operations are clearly more scale and technically efficient and have lower variable costs per cow, off-farm income makes smaller operations competitive as reflected in higher household returns than all size groups--except for very large cow-calf operations.

description: An appropriate calibration and forecasting of volatility and market risk are some of the main challenges faced by companies that have to manage the uncertainty inherent to their investments or funding operations such as banks, pension funds or insurance companies. This has become even more evident after the 2007-2008 Financial Crisis, when the forecasting models assessing the market risk and volatility failed. Since then, a significant number of theoretical developments and methodologies have appeared to improve the accuracy of the volatility forecasts and market risk assessments. Following this line of thinking, this paper introduces a model based on using a set of Machine Learning techniques, such as Gradient Descent Boosting, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine and Artificial Neural Network, where those algorithms are stacked to predict S&P500 volatility. The results suggest that our construction outperforms other habitual models on the ability to forecast the level of volatility, leading to a more accurate assessment of the market risk.

The dynamics of 1D Bloch electrons in constant electric fields

description: We study the dynamics of a 1D Bloch electron subjected to a constant electric field. The periodic potential is supposed to be less singular than the $δ$-like potential (Dirac comb). We give a rigorous proof of Ao's result \cite{Ao} that for a large class of initial conditions (high momentum regime) there is no localization in momentum space. The proof is based on the mathematical substantiation of the two simplifying assumptions made in physical literature: the transitions between far away bands can be neglected and the transitions at the quasi-crossing can be described by Landau-Zener like formulae. Using the connection between the above model and the driven quantum ring (DQR) shown by Avron and Nemirovski \cite{AvN}, our results imply the increase of energy for weakly singular such DQR and appropiate initial conditions.

description: In 1984, New Zealand introduced important policy reforms in order to address major macroeconomic and fiscal imbalances. New Zealand's support to agricultural producers rapidly decreased from 30 percent of the value of production to about 2 percent, and has remained the lowest among OECD economies since that time. After a difficult transition, the removal of subsidies resulted in a more diversified and competitive rural economy in New Zealand; total factor productivity growth has been roughly 2.5 percent annually since 1984, compared to roughly 1.5 percent in the prereform period. This Policy Review focuses on agricultural policy today and how New Zealand is supporting the agricultural sector now without resorting to subsidies. It describes the policy New Zealand uses to support farmers dealing with adverse events such as climatic disasters. It also describes New Zealand's strategy for promoting competiveness in world markets.
