Western redcedar dieback : possible links to climate change and implications for forest management on Vancouver Island, B.C.
Creators: name: Seebacher, Tanya Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis studied the distribution and potential causes of western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) dieback on the east coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. using dendrochronology and water balance modelling. Redcedar trees were cored in four of the driest and warmest biogeoclimatic (BEC) units on the island. Dieback was found in varying intensity in three of the four driest BEC units; however, it was primarily concentrated near the Qualicum Beach area (CDFmm). Ring-widths were found to be sensitive to climate on certain sites, but more complacent on other sites. Warm and dry summer climate was found to reduce radial growth of redcedar, and thus moisture stress may be the major determinant of redcedar dieback. Subsequent causes include well drained coarse textured soil conditions (predisposing), drought periods over the growing season (inciting), and contributing factors such as insects and pathogens. Water balance modelling found relationships between transpiration deficit index (TDI) and residual ring-width indices at three of the 16 study sites. The low number of significant relationships was likely caused by the low climate-sensitivity of breast-height tree ring data in redcedar growing on zonal sites. Low climate sensitivity may have been exacerbated by stand dynamics and competition, since study sites were often in mixed stands with multiple age cohorts. ForWaDy, when linked to FORECAST, could provide useful information on water stress and future growth of redcedar on the coast if linked with more climatically sensitive tree ring data. Over the next few hundred years, it is unlikely that redcedar will be lost completely from Vancouver Island due to the resilient and acclimative nature of this species; however, redcedar growing on low elevation sites vulnerable to moisture stress may experience increased dieback occurrences and eventual decline in these areas. Recommendations for future studies of redcedar dieback and considerations for forest management are provided.

description: We discuss a geometric perspective on chiral ferromagnetism. Much like gravity becomes the effect of spacetime curvature in theory of relativity, the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya interaction arises in a Heisenberg model with nontrivial spin parallel transport. The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya vectors serve as a background SO(3) gauge field. In 2 spatial dimensions, the model is partly solvable when an applied magnetic field matches the gauge curvature. At this special point, solutions to the Bogomolny equation are exact excited states of the model. We construct a variational ground state in the form of a skyrmion crystal and confirm its viability by Monte Carlo simulations. The geometric perspective offers insights into important problems in magnetism, e.g., conservation of spin current in the presence of chiral interactions.

description: Weather risk is a serious issue in the African small farm sector, which will further aggravate due to climate change. Farmers typically react by using low amounts of agricultural inputs. Low input use can help to minimize financial loss in bad years, but is also associated with low average yield and income. Increasing small farm productivity and income is an important prerequisite for rural poverty reduction and food security. Crop insurance could incentivize farmers to increase their input use, but indemnity-based crop insurance programs are plagued by market failures. This paper contributes to the emerging literature on the role of weather index insurance (WII). While a few studies have used experimental approaches to analyze WII impacts, research with observational data is scant. We use data from a survey of farmers in Kenya, where a commercial WII scheme has been operating for several years. Regression models with instrumental variables are used to analyze WII uptake and effects on input use and crop productivity. Results show that WII uptake contributes to higher use of chemical fertilizer and improved seeds, and thus also to higher yields. We conclude that upscaling WII programs may help to spur agricultural development in the small farm sector.
A cow structural model for video analytics of cow health

description: In livestock farming, animal health directly influences productivity. For dairy cows, many health conditions can be evaluated by trained observers based on visual appearance and movement. However, to manually evaluate every cow in a commercial farm is expensive and impractical. This paper introduces a video-analytic system which automatically detects the cow structure from captured video sequences. A side-view cow structural model is designed to describe the spatial positions of the joints (keypoints) of the cow, and we develop a system using deep learning to automatically extract the structural model from videos. The proposed detection system can detect multiple cows in the same frame and provide robust performance under practical challenges like obstacles (fences) and poor illumination. Compared to other object detection methods, this system provides better detection results and successfully isolates the keypoints of each cow even when they are close to each other.
Four kinds of fallacies in comparing market-type and Soviet-type economies: issues and outcomes

description: The work highlights the most common fallacies in comparing market-type and Soviet-type economies. The author analyses four kinds of fallacy that tend to reduce - for different reasons and in different ways - the development differential between mature industrialised market-type economies and Soviet-type ones. As each of the fallacies in question skews comparisons in the same direction, their cumulative effect is substantial. It is argues that the fallacies are at the root of many overestimates of Soviet development and of the even more frequent confusion resulting from the conflict between eyewitness and other unquantified unofficial evidence and official estimates.

On the character of macroeconomics, macroeconomic policy and econometrics: the need for another macroeconomic policy conception

description: The work argues that the “traditional” macroeconomic policy conception that emerged in the fifties and sixties was rightly challenged in the seventies, although on the basis of an insufficiently grounded belief in the equilibrating tendencies in market economies. According to the author, the traditional policy conception should be rejected for its misconception of the character of macroeconomics which led to an overly pretentious claim for the possibilities of macroeconomics and macroeconometric model-building in the field of policy. Furthermore, it is argued that the possibility of important deficiencies in the functioning of market economies cannot be precluded on either theoretical or empirical grounds. JEL: E60, C01

description: The 'adding up problem' was given professional respectability by Cline (1982). It stated that all developing countries could not attain the same level of performance as the East Asian countries because either the markets of the developed world could not cope with the implied increase in the volume of imports or protectionist measures would not allow them to. The argument is backed by the hypothesis of Lewis (1980) that developing country growth is limited by a fixed relationship between their primary exports and growth in the developed countries. This contradicts the reality (manufacturing exports have assumed the increased importance in recent years) and, the author argues, is wrong. JEL: F43, O11, O14, O53

description: High-dimensional entangled states are promising candidates for increasing the security and encoding capacity of quantum systems. While it is possible to witness and set bounds for the entanglement, precisely quantifying the dimensionality and purity in a fast and accurate manner remains an open challenge. Here, we report an approach that simultaneously returns the dimensionality and purity of high-dimensional entangled states by simple projective measurements. We show that the outcome of a conditional measurement returns a visibility that scales monotonically with entanglement dimensionality and purity, allowing for quantitative measurements for general photonic quantum systems. We illustrate our method using transverse spatial modes of photons that carry orbital angular momentum and verify high-dimensional entanglement over a wide range of state purities. Our approach advances the high-dimensional tool box for characterising quantum states by providing a simple and direct dimensionality and purity measure, even for mixed entangled states.
Nitrogen fertilization as a way to sequester carbon in forests of British Columbia
Creators: name: Yolova, Veneta Dimitrova
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Greenhouse gases (GHG), especially carbon dioxide (C0₂), are believed to be the major cause of global warming today. The increased concentration of atmospheric CO₂ after the Industrial Revolution (late 18th and early 19th century) is attributed mostly to fossil-fuel combustion and deforestation. Consumption of fossil fuels and unsustainable use of forests are not likely to cease soon, hence alternative strategies for removal of atmospheric CO₂ are sought. This study provides information on the potential of forest fertilization with nitrogen (N) to sequester additional carbon (C) in tree biomass and soil. Two tree species (lodgepole pine and western hemlock), which are economically important in the province of British Columbia (BC), were examined. The amounts of C sequestered in tree biomass, understory vegetation, and soil after fertilization with N-alone (or N+B), and complete (N + other nutrients) were measured and compared with the amounts of C sequestered in non-fertilized plots. The effect of N on cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzyme activity was also examined. Fertilization increased the individual and stand-level tree biomass; although the stand-level tree biomass did not significantly differ between treatments. Understory vegetation biomass was not significantly affected by N fertilization; although there were some differences in species composition between treatments. Fertilization increased the soil C concentration (%) in the lodgepole pine stand and the soil C content (t/ha) in the western hemlock stand. Although there was greater average total ecosystem C stored in biomass and soil (to 40 cm depth) in fertilized plots, the differences between treatments were not statistically significant. Enzyme activity was not significantly affected by fertilization, except for one of the ligninlytic enzymes (peroxidase) for which activity increased after the N+B treatment. The results suggest that forest fertilization with N will accelerate C storage in these forests. However the decision as to whether this practice is the most beneficial way to sequester C should be made only after a detailed cost-benefit analysis and consideration of multiple desired outcomes for the forest in question.
An international comparison of the causes of changes in the debt service ratio 1980-1985

Subjects: subject: International debt crisis, amortisation, interest, exports, debt-management
subject: F34, H63, E43

description: The forces leading up to the debt crisis of the 1980s go back a long way. As a country experiences a rising ratio of debt service payments to export earnings so its default risk increases. World indicators show that interest rates were on a rising trend when commodity prices were on a downward trend. However, this is a simplistic analysis. The authors disaggregate the ratio into five components: a change in the volume of debt; a change in the rate of amortisation; a change in the rate of interest; a change in the volume of exports; a change in the price of exports. The article examines these independently in the light of the available data. Results suggest that rescheduling policy is uncoordinated and that debt-management methods can be improved.

description: Partial discharge (PD) is a common indication of faults in power systems, such as generators, and cables. These PD can eventually result in costly repairs and substantial power outages. PD detection traditionally relies on hand-crafted features and domain expertise to identify very specific pulses in the electrical current, and the performance declines in the presence of noise or of superposed pulses. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end framework based on convolutional neural networks. The framework has two contributions. First, it does not require any feature extraction and enables robust PD detection. Second, we devise the pulse activation map. It provides interpretability of the results for the domain experts with the identification of the pulses that led to the detection of the PDs. The performance is evaluated on a public dataset for the detection of damaged power lines. An ablation study demonstrates the benefits of each part of the proposed framework.

description: Here we present a method for the simultaneous segmentation of white matter lesions and normal-appearing neuroanatomical structures from multi-contrast brain MRI scans of multiple sclerosis patients. The method integrates a novel model for white matter lesions into a previously validated generative model for whole-brain segmentation. By using separate models for the shape of anatomical structures and their appearance in MRI, the algorithm can adapt to data acquired with different scanners and imaging protocols without retraining. We validate the method using four disparate datasets, showing robust performance in white matter lesion segmentation while simultaneously segmenting dozens of other brain structures. We further demonstrate that the contrast-adaptive method can also be safely applied to MRI scans of healthy controls, and replicate previously documented atrophy patterns in deep gray matter structures in MS. The algorithm is publicly available as part of the open-source neuroimaging package FreeSurfer.

subject: G10, G14

description: Neither the opponents nor the supporters of the efficiency proposition investigate whether stock prices may rationally reflect further elements in addition to future dividends. The experience of several countries, however, shows that market prices of different types of shares may diverge, and sometimes considerably so. Indeed, economic theory does not seem to have devoted sufficient attention to the magnitude and determinants of different valuations. The present paper analyses this issue in two steps. First, a stable situation is considered, where the distribution of shares between “majority” and “minority” shareholders is fixed. Second, and unstable situation where the possibility of changes in the distribution of shares is explicitly considered. In both cases, two classes of shares are considered, one with full voting rights and another with no voting rights at all. JEL: G10, G14

description: Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) are an expressive means of representing and reasoning about probabilistic models. The computational challenge of probabilistic inference remains the primary roadblock for applying PPLs in practice. Inference is fundamentally hard, so there is no one-size-fits all solution. In this work, we target scalable inference for an important class of probabilistic programs: those whose probability distributions are discrete. Discrete distributions are common in many fields, including text analysis, network verification, artificial intelligence, and graph analysis, but they prove to be challenging for existing PPLs. We develop a domain-specific probabilistic programming language called Dice that features a new approach to exact discrete probabilistic program inference. Dice exploits program structure in order to factorize inference, enabling us to perform exact inference on probabilistic programs with hundreds of thousands of random variables. Our key technical contribution is a new reduction from discrete probabilistic programs to weighted model counting (WMC). This reduction separates the structure of the distribution from its parameters, enabling logical reasoning tools to exploit that structure for probabilistic inference. We (1) show how to compositionally reduce Dice inference to WMC, (2) prove this compilation correct with respect to a denotational semantics, (3) empirically demonstrate the performance benefits over prior approaches, and (4) analyze the types of structure that allow Dice to scale to large probabilistic programs.

Indeed, it may induce incorrect or distorting conclusions when used to discuss the objectives of economic policy, and in particular the aim of stabilising the size of the national debt. The note concludes by proposing a very simple rule for the calculation of the maximum budget deficit compatible with a stable national debt. JEL: H62, H63

subject: F15, F36, G21

description: This paper proposes an oligopolistic model with price discrimination as consistent with the known traditional qualities of the Italian banking system. The paper presents the background characteristics of the Italian banking system that are seen to underlie this approach: the analysis is restricted to commercial banks. Interest rate data show large regional disparities since 1969 to date. The model is consistent with the prediction that competition will shrink regional interest rate differentials, and the spread between loan and deposit rates in the Mezzogiorno. JEL: F15, F36, G21

 Comment: According to SMETANA (2004), this species has a trans-Palaearctic distribution. However, reliably identified material from the East Palaearctic region east of Middle Asia is unknown to me. In Middle Asia, L. fulvipenne has been recorded from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The above specimens from Kyrgyzstan represent new country records.

description: A combination of a finite number of linear independent states forms superposition in a way that cannot be conceived classically. Here, using the tools of resource theory of superposition, we give the conditions for a class of superposition state transformations. These conditions strictly depend on the scalar products of the basis states and reduce to the well-known majorization condition for quantum coherence in the limit of orthonormal basis. To further superposition-free transformations of $d$-dimensional systems, we provide superposition-free operators for a deterministic transformation of superposition states. The linear independence of a finite number of basis states requires a relation between the scalar products of these states. With this information in hand, we determine the maximal superposition states which are valid over a certain range of scalar products. Notably, we show that, for $d\geq3$, scalar products of the pure superposition-free states have a greater place in seeking maximally resourceful states. Various explicit examples illustrate our findings.

Managing exchange markets in the EMS with free capital
Creators: name: BINI SMAGHI, L.
name: MICOSSI, S.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: EMS, exchange rate management, monetary policy, domestic policy
subject: F36, E52, F32

description: This paper discusses the EMS in a number of sections. Section 1 examines the potential effects of full capital mobility on the sovereignty of national policy making. Section 2 looks at the history of exchange rate management (ERM) within the system to date, and Section 3 considers the role of monetary policy within the ERM. Sections 4 and 5 discuss the future viability of the system in terms of recent changes. In conclusion (Section 6) it is noted that the pressures of short-term capital flows, given free capital, will entail a further loss of monetary autonomy for member countries. JEL: F36, E52, F32

Stabilisation of the economy: some more international evidence
Creators: name: DE HAAN, J.
name: ZELHORST, D.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: demand management, stabilisation policy, Keynesians, monetarists, new classical economists
subject: E63

description: Keynesians still believe that there is scope for demand management (stabilisation policies) in an economy due to the inherent deficiencies apparent in the working of the free market: monetarists and new classical economists still believe in the power of market forces. Despite this disagreement, the authors contend that most economists agree that economic fluctuations are less extreme today than has been the case historically. This is important because it lends credence to those who argue the merits of stabilisation policies, the obvious candidate to explain this phenomena. The authors' answer is that other factors may be at work. JEL: E63

description: Monte Carlo studies of many quantum systems face exponentially severe signal-to-noise problems. We show that noise arising from complex phase fluctuations of observables can be reduced without introducing bias using path integral contour deformation techniques. A numerical study of contour deformations for correlation functions in Abelian gauge theory and complex scalar field theory demonstrates that variance can be reduced by orders of magnitude without modifying Monte Carlo sampling.

Parallel Minority Game and it's application in movement optimization during an epidemic

description: We introduce a version of the Minority Game where the total number of available choices is $D>2$, but the agents only have two available choices to switch. For all agents at an instant in any given choice, therefore, the other choice is distributed between the remaining $D-1$ options. This brings in the added complexity in reaching a state with the maximum resource utilization, in the sense that the game is essentially a set of MG that are coupled and played in parallel. We show that a stochastic strategy, used in the MG, works well here too. We discuss the limits in which the model reduces to other known models. Finally, we study an application of the model in the context of population movement between various states within a country during an ongoing epidemic. We show that the total infected population in the country could be as low as that achieved with a complete stoppage of inter-region movements for a prolonged period, provided that the agents instead follow the above mentioned stochastic strategy for their movement decisions between their two choices. The objective for an agent is to stay in the lower infected state between their two choices. We further show that it is the agents moving once between any two states, following the stochastic strategy, who are less likely to be infected than those not having (or not opting for) such a movement choice, when the risk of getting infected during the travel is not considered. This shows the incentive for the moving agents to follow the stochastic strategy.

description: Lathrobium dimidiatipenne BERNHAUER 1910
 Comment: Originally described from Irkutsk in the Baikal region (BERNHAUER 1910), L. dimidiatipenne was subsequently reported from northeastern Anatolia (Erzurum: Tortum) by COIFFAIT (1982). However, no reference material was found in the Coiffait collection at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris (TAGHAVIAN pers. comm.). It seems rather likely that the record in fact refers to L. bernhaueri (see below).

The economics of rouble convertibility. New scenarios for the Soviet monetary economy
Creators: name: DAVIDDI, R.
name: ESPA, E.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Soviet rouble, perestroika, currency transition, external convertibly
subject: P21, P34, E42

description: The work seeks to outline a possible transition process to external convertibility (EC) for the Soviet rouble, an issue that has recently attracted the attention of Soviet economists and policy makers in light of the discussion on perestroika. The analysis goes beyond the strict dichotomy of EC as an instrument vs EC as a target. In particular, the author singles out the possible sages in the Soviet economy’s transition process to EC and multilateralism. The theoretical framework is drawn from the experience of those Western European countries which were able to shift from a condition of currency inconvertibility and widespread bilateralism to a system of currency EC and multilateralism in the late 1940s and 1950s.
