description: We report on the final results of a series of experiments on double decay of 130Te carried out with an array of twenty cryogenic detectors. The set-up is made with crystals of TeO2 with a total mass of 6.8 kg, the largest operating one for a cryogenic experiment. Four crystals are made with isotopically enriched materials: two in 128Te and two others in 130Te. The remaining ones are made with natural tellurium, which contains 31.7 % and 33.8 % 128Te and 130Te, respectively. The array was run under a heavy shield in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory at a depth of about 3500 m.w.e. By recording the pulses of each detector in anticoincidence with the others a lower limit of 2.1E23 years has been obtained at the 90 % C.L. on the lifetime for neutrinoless double beta decay of 130Te. In terms of effective neutrino mass this is the most restrictive limit in direct experiments, after those obtained with Ge diodes. Limits on other lepton violating decays of 130Te and on the neutrinoless double beta decay of 128Te to the ground state of 128Xe are also reported and discussed. An indication is presented for the two neutrino double beta decay of 130Te. Some consequences of the present results in the interpretation of geochemical experiments are discussed.

description: We study learning of a matching model for response selection in retrieval-based dialogue systems. The problem is equally important with designing the architecture of a model, but is less explored in existing literature. To learn a robust matching model from noisy training data, we propose a general co-teaching framework with three specific teaching strategies that cover both teaching with loss functions and teaching with data curriculum. Under the framework, we simultaneously learn two matching models with independent training sets. In each iteration, one model transfers the knowledge learned from its training set to the other model, and at the same time receives the guide from the other model on how to overcome noise in training. Through being both a teacher and a student, the two models learn from each other and get improved together. Evaluation results on two public data sets indicate that the proposed learning approach can generally and significantly improve the performance of existing matching models.

description: In-field DC and AC magnetization measurements were carried out on a sigma-phase Fe55Re45 intermetallic compound aimed at determination of the magnetic phase diagram in the H-T plane. Field cooled, M_FC, and zero-field cooled, M_ZFC, DC magnetization curves were measured in the magnetic field, H, up to 1200 Oe. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out at a constant frequency of 1465 Hz under DC fields up to H=500 Oe. The obtained results provide evidences for re-entrant magnetism in the investigated sample. The magnetic phase diagrams in the H-T plane have been outlined based on characteristic temperatures determined from the DC and AC measurements. The phase diagrams are similar yet not identical. The main difference is that in the DC diagram constructed there are two cross-over transitions within the strong-irreversibility spin-glass state, whereas in the AC susceptibility based diagram only one transition is observed. The border lines (irreversibility, cross-over) can be described in terms of the power laws.

description: The objective of the present paper is to identify the determinants of the form of collaboration initiated between an upstream innovator and a downstream producer in order to incorporate a new input and commercialize an innovation consisting of a quality enhanced final product, with an empirical application to the GM plant industry. The choice of upstream firm between license, joint venture, merger or a subsidiary is modeled as a function of three parameters: degree of quality improvement engendered by the new input, the market share of the downstream producer and the capability of the downstream producer to incorporate the new input and commercialize it successfully. We also discuss the case where the downstream firm is a cooperative.

description: This study uses a linked-farm approach (linking farms over time) and a cohort approach (farms that started operating in the same year) to determine exit rates conditional on the number of years a farm has been operating. Linear forecasting, moving-average forecasting, and using data from a later Census are used to re-estimate the number of new farms in their first year of operating. Using the linked-farm approach, an average annual entry rate of 7.5% and exit rate of 8.5% is estimated for 2007 to 2012, which vary based on the farmer’s lifecycle. The cohort approach shows that exit rates are lower than 4% for the first 40 years of operating a farm business and then exit rates gradually increase. Revised estimates of approximately 70-80,000 new farms entering each year are calculated, which are considerably higher numbers than the 30-40,000 new farm entrants participating in the Census of Agriculture. The linked-farm and cohort approaches are used to provide updated estimates for farm entry and exit using new Census data and to make comparisons with previous years. To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide revised estimates for new farm entrants into U.S. agriculture.

description: This paper investigates the link between farm investment and farm performance considering two types of farms that may have a different investment strategy: farms that are intensive in capital, and farms that have a low capital intensity. Panel data on specialized dairy farms of one sub-region of French Brittany (Ille-et-Vilaine) for the period 2005-2014 were used. Results from adjustment cost models indicate that farms tend to smooth their investments to limit adjustment cost and that farm performance has a negative impact on investment.
Intertrochanteric hip fracture collapse and patient function
Creators: name: McCormack, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between fracture collapse and patient function for surgically repaired unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures. Post-operative collapse was measured using radiographic analysis and compared with patient functional outcome as measured by the validated Hip Fracture Functional Recovery Score. It was found that increased fracture collapse correlated with higher functional outcome scores, which suggests the benefits of compression during healing outweigh the potential biomechanical compromise associated with collapse.

description: Despite deflections by Galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields, the distribution of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) over the celestial sphere remains a most promising observable for the identification of their sources. Thanks to a large number of detected events over the past years, a large-scale anisotropy at energies above 8 EeV has been identified, and there are also indications from the Telescope Array and Pierre Auger Collaborations of deviations from isotropy at intermediate angular scales (about 20 degrees) at the highest energies. In this contribution, we map the flux of UHECRs over the full sky at energies beyond each of two major features in the UHECR spectrum -- the ankle and the flux suppression --, and we derive limits for anisotropy on different angular scales in the two energy regimes. In particular, full-sky coverage enables constraints on low-order multipole moments without assumptions about the strength of higher-order multipoles. Following previous efforts from the two Collaborations, we build full-sky maps accounting for the relative exposure of the arrays and differences in the energy normalizations. The procedure relies on cross-calibrating the UHECR fluxes reconstructed in the declination band around the celestial equator covered by both observatories. We present full-sky maps at energies above 10 EeV and 50 EeV, using the largest datasets shared across UHECR collaborations to date. We report on anisotropy searches exploiting full-sky coverage and discuss possible constraints on the distribution of UHECR sources.

description: The paper investigates how the overseas activity of multinational retailers (MRs) affects the global export patters of host country firms. Recent empirical work testifies that the entry of foreign retailers leads to a productivity upgrade in the domestic upstream sectors. Combined with the main result of the new new international trade theory on firm heterogeneity, an increase in the export capacity of local firms should follow. The current paper establishes a connection between these empirically identified effects and the new theory of international trade with heterogeneous firms and intermediaries. Two mechanisms are analyzed. First, the higher productivity at industry and firm level leads to an increase in the overall export capacity of local firms. Second, the expansion of transnational retail networks reinforces trade between host countries.

description: A nematic liquid-crystal gel is a macroscopically homogeneous elastic medium with the rotational symmetry of a nematic liquid crystal. In this paper, we develop a general approach to the study of these gels that incorporates all underlying symmetries. After reviewing traditional elasticity and clarifying the role of broken rotational symmetries in both the reference space of points in the undistorted medium and the target space into which these points are mapped, we explore the unusual properties of nematic gels from a number of perspectives. We show how symmetries of nematic gels formed via spontaneous symmetry breaking from an isotropic gel enforce soft elastic response characterized by the vanishing of a shear modulus and the vanishing of stress up to a critical value of strain along certain directions. We also study the phase transition from isotropic to nematic gels. In addition to being fully consistent with approaches to nematic gels based on rubber elasticity, our description has the important advantages of being independent of a microscopic model, of emphasizing and clarifying the role of broken symmetries in determining elastic response, and of permitting easy incorporation of spatial variations, thermal fluctuations, and gel heterogeneity, thereby allowing a full statistical-mechanical treatment of these novel materials.

Subjects: subject: anaerobic digestion
subject: biorefinery
subject: techno-economic feasibility

description: Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), an annual C4 plant, is considered as a suitable biomass for biofuel production due to its high biomass yields, rapid growth rate, and low water and nutrient needs. In an integrated biorefinery concept, sweet sorghum has the potential to produce high-value products such as animal feed, renewable fuels, chemicals, and fertilisers, unlike any other annual crop. This integrated biorefinery approach will allow us to utilise the whole crop biomass more efficiently to generate renewable biofuels, high-value by-products such as organic acids, thereby enhancing the economic viability of the project through crop biorefinery concept. The aim of this PhD study is to evaluate the feasibility of utilising sweet sorghum, grown on fallow land of sugarcane farming, as a feedstock to produce biohydrogen (H2), organic acids, and methane (CH4) in an integrated biorefinery concept. To optimise the individual bioprocesses, chemical composition analysis and lab-scale experiments were conducted, followed by a feasibility of farm-scale biogas plant and evaluate the biogas utilisation options.

description: Using very original data in the import industry of fruits and vegetables, we consider the activity of trade intermediaries in an active way. To stick to recent developments of international economics literature and using the definitions provided by organizational economics, we argue that it worth considering brokers might have heterogeneous activities. Accounting for their heterogeneity we identify that differentiated value chains co-exist at the border point of the European Union market. We also highlight that French importers implement different safety strategies.

description: Although nanodiamonds have long being considered as a potential tool for biomedical research, the practical in vivo application of nanodiamonds remains relatively unexplored. In this paper, we present the first application of in vivo MRI contrast enhancement using only iron embedded magnetic nanodiamonds. MR image enhancement was clearly demonstrated in the rendering of T2-weighted images of mice obtained using an unmodified commercial MRI scanner. The excellent contrast obtained using these nanodiamonds opens the door to the non-invasive in vivo tracking of NDs and image enhancement. In the future, one can apply these magnetic nanodiamonds together with surface modifications to facilitate drug delivery, targeted therapy, localized thermal treatment, and diagnostic imaging.

Spectrophotometric determination of the kinetic parameters of β-fructofuranosidase and the mechanism of inhibition by copper (II) sulfate
Creators: name: Zhang, Allen

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Excessive dosages of heavy metals can be hazardous to organisms and the environment. This is due to the ability of heavy metal ions to inhibit several kinds of biological enzymes. In this experiment, the kinetic parameters of β-fructofuranosidase, a fungal enzyme that catalyzes the break-down of sucrose, were quantified through dinitrosalicylic acid assay and nonlinear regression. Furthermore, the activity of β-fructofuranosidase was measured in 6 different concentrations of copper (II) sulfate, an inhibitor, to determine the nature of inhibition. From the experiment, the results show that the nature of inhibition is noncompetitive at [CuSO₄] < 0.0022M and competitive at [CuSO₄] > 0.0044M, Vmax is 0.441 ± 0.0354mmol min, Km is 17.6 ± 2.6mM, and Ki is 0.00863 ± 0.00101.

Subjects: subject: Cortinarius

description: This study investigated the bioactivity of six pigments from the Australian Cortinarius mushroom genus, specifically targeting their influence on various fungi, viruses, and an inflammatory stimulus. It was discovered that when tested between 25-26.3 [microns], (1S,3S)-Austrocortirubin [M1], (1R,3R)-Austrocortilutein [M2], (1S,3S)-Austrocortilutein [M3] and (1S,3R)-Austrocortilutein [M4] were all equally effective at inhibiting C. albicans growth. At these same concentrations, M1 and M3 effectively prevented A. fumigatus growth. It was theorised that the identical S-configured hydroxyls on these compounds' 1st and 3rd carbons were advantageous against mould growth, specifically A. fumigatus. It was also confirmed that (3R/S)-1-deoxy-Austrocortirubin [M5] and Torosachrysone [T] were significantly less effective at preventing either yeast or mould growth compared to the other Cortinarius pigments. The compounds were deemed to have no antiviral effect against either HPIV3 or RSV. When the compounds were exposed to human peripheral macrophages, their anti-inflammatory activity was shown to be minimal. Additionally, across all in vitro assays, these compounds were highly cytotoxic against LLC-MK2, HEp-2 and Human macrophage cells. Although, during cytotoxicity screening, the Compounds M2-M5 were identified as selectively toxic to the cancerous cell line (HEp-2) over a normal cell line (LLC-MK2), which could indicate a beneficial future research path.

description: For a space X acted by a finite group $\G$, the product space $X^n$ affords a natural action of the wreath product $\Gn$. In this paper we study the K-groups $K_{\tG_n}(X^n)$ of $\Gn$-equivariant Clifford supermodules on $X^n$. We show that $\tFG =\bigoplus_{n\ge 0}K_{\tG_n}(X^n) \otimes \C$ is a Hopf algebra and it is isomorphic to the Fock space of a twisted Heisenberg algebra. Twisted vertex operators make a natural appearance. The algebraic structures on $\tFG$, when $\G$ is trivial and X is a point, specialize to those on a ring of symmetric functions with the Schur Q-functions as a linear basis. As a by-product, we present a novel construction of K-theory operations using the spin representations of the hyperoctahedral groups.

description: We study the optimal contract choice of an upstream monopolist producing an essential input that may sell to two vertically differentiated downstream firms. The upstream supplier can offer an exclusive contract to one of the firms or non-exclusive contracts to both firms. Each of the latter can be made contingent or not on the breakdown of the negotiations between the upstream supplier and the rival downstream firm. The distribution of bargaining power during the contract terms negotiations is the main driving force of the monopolist's choices. A powerful supplier always opts for an exclusive contract. By contrast, a weaker supplier offers non-exclusive contracts and makes each of them contingent or non-contingent such as to guarantee the most favorable outside option in its negotiations. Our main results hold under an horizontally differentiated downstream market too.

description: Predictions for semi-inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleus scattering are presented. Both the effects of gluon radiation by the struck quark and the absorption of the produced hadron are considered. The gluon radiation covers a larger window in virtuality $Q^2$ because of the increased deconfinement of quarks inside nuclei. The absorption of hadrons formed inside the nucleus is described with a flavor dependent cross section. Calculations for rescaled fragmentation functions and nuclear absorption are compared with the EMC and HERMES data for N, Cu and Kr targets with respect to the deuteron target. Predictions for Ne and Xe targets in the HERMES kinematic regime are given.

description: Background Previous studies suggest that a significantly increased risk to suffer frommyocardial infarction can be observed for parents in comparison with adults withoutchildren. However, definitive evidence is lacking and insufficient to adapt clinical practiceguidelines on that basis. Furthermore, actual cases seem to be rare and backing data isnot available.Objectives The main objective of this work is to gather evidence on the relative risk ofmyocardial infarction in parents compared with couples without children in a retrospective,observational cohort study.Methods Reimbursement data from the health care system are routinely collectedby Austrian social insurance institutions for administrative and accounting purposes.GAP-DRG, a linked research database holding data from the Austrian health and socialinsurance system covering several years is utilized to determine the number of potentialcases.Genealogical information is crucial but lacking from the data source. As a result, parentship is not encoded in the available administrative data. Therefore, a method forindirect deduction of this personal information is developed and implemented. Furthermore, information about individual comorbidities and the social-economic status arededuced.Identified cohorts are documented in detail and various statistical procedures are applied.Such methods include univariate statistics and cross-tabulations, decision trees, andmultivariate regression models. Resampling, balancing, and propensity score matchingare used to achieve more accurate estimates and robustness.Results In summary, no additional evidence was found to support the initial claim.In addition, unprecedented developments such as the disclosure of previously unknowndata quality problems in the administrative data source, coinsurance networks andgenealogical information, the handling of socioeconomic information, and morbidityscores are reported in detail.

description: Facebook played a considerable role during the political uprisings of the so called ‘Arab Spring’ in 2011. Together with Al-Jazeera, it was one of the few reliable sources of information for protesters at that time. In this paper, we explore the media landscape in Tunisia two years after the uprising. We conducted a qualitative investigation (participant observation and interviewing) with young Tunisians. The paper describes how they use Facebook (FB), newspapers, and TV for gaining information and for exchange. By that time, FB was their primary medium for access to political information. They prefer the variety and diversity of user-generated content, they select information, discuss issues among their friends inside FB and with that, co-create meaning and trust. It seems that both traditional censorship in the national mass media and the revolutionary experience have created a unique media landscape among young Tunisians. Facebook still plays a leading role for many in that landscape, but there remains a ‘digital divide’.

description: But what is an even greater enigma is the fact that the brāmhaṇ chose to arrive in this ‘graveyard’ of a civilization. After being driven out of their Central Asian steppes by the 4.2 ka BP event, they crossed the Khyber pass to enter the Indian sub-continent. Did the brāmhaṇ really settle in the Sarasvatī valley ? Or, did they just push to the upper reaches of the Yamunā, and then down along its course into the Yamunā - Gangā doab ? At least that is what we see in the Harappan Timeline maps. The small cluster of settlements that we see growing slowly between 3,200 BCE and 2,500 BCE, suddenly explodes by 1,900 BCE and remains that way till 1,000 BCE.
Cohomology with Grosshans graded coefficients

description: Let the reductive group G act on the finitely generated commutative k-algebra A. We ask if the finite generation property of the ring of invariants A^G extends to the full rational cohomology ring H^*(G,A). We confirm this when G=SL_2 and also when the characteristic of k is large and the action on A is replaced by the `contracted' action on the Grosshans graded ring gr(A). In the printed version of this paper the first level of some spectral sequences was misidentified as the second. This affects twelve subscripts. We have corrected them (in 3.10, 4.11, 4.12).

description: Multiple clustering aims at discovering diverse ways of organizing data into clusters. Despite the progress made, it's still a challenge for users to analyze and understand the distinctive structure of each output clustering. To ease this process, we consider diverse clusterings embedded in different subspaces, and analyze the embedding subspaces to shed light into the structure of each clustering. To this end, we provide a two-stage approach called MISC (Multiple Independent Subspace Clusterings). In the first stage, MISC uses independent subspace analysis to seek multiple and statistical independent (i.e. non-redundant) subspaces, and determines the number of subspaces via the minimum description length principle. In the second stage, to account for the intrinsic geometric structure of samples embedded in each subspace, MISC performs graph regularized semi-nonnegative matrix factorization to explore clusters. It additionally integrates the kernel trick into matrix factorization to handle non-linearly separable clusters. Experimental results on synthetic datasets show that MISC can find different interesting clusterings from the sought independent subspaces, and it also outperforms other related and competitive approaches on real-world datasets.

Set of Holonomic and Protected Gates on Topological Qubits for Realistic Quantum Computer

description: In recent years qubit designs such as transmons approached the fidelities of up to 0.999. However, even these devices are still insufficient for realizing quantum error correction requiring better than 0.9999 fidelity. Topologically protected superconducting qubits are arguably most prospective for building a realistic quantum computer as they are intrinsically protected from noise and leakage errors that occur in transmons. We propose a topologically protected qubit design based on a $π$-periodic Josephson element and a universal set of gates: protected Clifford group and highly robust (with infidelity $\sim 10^{-4}$) non-discrete holonomic phase gate. The qubit is controlled via charge($Q$) and flux($Φ$)-biases. The holonomic gate is realized by quickly, but adiabatically, going along a particular closed path in the two-dimensional $\{Φ,Q\}$-space -- a path where computational states are always degenerate, but Berry curvature is localized inside the path. This gate is robust against currently achievable noise levels. This qubit architecture allows building a realistic scalable superconducting quantum computer with leakage and noise-induced errors as low as $10^{-4}$, which allows performing realistic error correction codes with currently available fabrication techniques.
