Hydrology and dissolved organic carbon biogeochemistry in an ombrotrophic bog

At the Mer Bleue bog, Ontario, Canada, DOC export measured at the basin outflow was −8·3 ± 3·7 g C m−2 yr−1, and DOC loading via precipitation was estimated to be 1·5 ± 0·7 g C m−2 yr−1. Discharge and DOC export calculated using a Dupuit–Forchheimer approximation compared well (within 1 g C m−2 yr−1) to outflow estimates of DOC export, and confirmed that outflow measurements were a suitable proxy for DOC seepage at the peatland margins. DOC export was 12% of the magnitude of the residual carbon sink measured at the peatland. The [DOC] across groundwater transects decreased with depth, and [DOC] sampled below 0·75 m depths remained fairly constant over the study period. However, [DOC] exported through the acrotelm (0 to 0·45 m peat depth) was variable, ranging from 40 mg l−1 after snowmelt to 70 mg l−1 during the growing season. Fluorescence analysis revealed that exported DOC was ‘allochthonous‐like’, whereas DOC in the catotelm (deeper layers of peat) became more ‘autochthonous‐like’ with depth. A conceptual model is developed to summarize the hydrological processes and controls which affect DOC biogeochemistry at the Mer Bleue. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The Best Rest , Revisited

In the June 2010 issue of AeroSafety World (p. 40), the authors analyzed several flight and duty time limit regulation systems in use around the world for controlling fatigue. Subsequently, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration published its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for “Flight Crew Member Duty and Rest Requirements,” 1 which has spurred significant discussion in the United States as pilots unions, airlines and others attempt to understand the implications of the proposed rules. In this article, the authors extend their previous analysis to consider the NPRM, as well as U.K. rules, outlined in Civil Air Publication 371, “The Avoidance of Fatigue in Aircrews. ” 2 We hope that this analysis, though limited, will inform the discussion.
Behavior of quartz forks oscillating in isotopically pure He-4 in the T -> 0 limit

We report that at low drives, the resonant frequencies and linewidths of nominally 32-kHz quartz tuning forks oscillating in isotopically pure superfluid He-4 at similar to 10 mK are dependent on the dimensions of their environment. We confirm the importance of coupling between forks and acoustic modes within the cell, and develop a theory of their coupled dynamics to account for the observations. The frequencies and linewidths are reproducible on a time scale of tens of minutes, but pronounced drifts are seen over longer intervals. We suggest that the drifts are attributable to changes in the velocity of sound due to tiny pressure changes. In studies at high drives, we observe two critical velocities: v(c1) approximate to 0.6 cm/s, where the drag may either increase or decrease, depending on the linewidth; and v(c2) approximate to 10 cm/s, above which there seems to be fully turbulent flow. At high drives, the behavior of the drag differs markedly between forks that appear otherwise to be very similar.
WISE BROWN DWARF BINARIES: THE DISCOVERY OF A T5+T5 AND A T8.5+T9 SYSTEM

The multiplicity properties of brown dwarfs are critical empirical constraints for formation theories, while multiples themselves provide unique opportunities to test evolutionary and atmospheric models and examine empirical trends. Studies using high-resolution imaging cannot only uncover faint companions, but they can also be used to determine dynamical masses through long-term monitoring of binary systems. We have begun a search for the coolest brown dwarfs using preliminary processing of data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and have confirmed many of the candidates as late-type T dwarfs. In order to search for companions to these objects, we are conducting observations using the Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system on Keck II. Here we present the first results of that search, including a T5 binary with nearly equal mass components and a faint companion to a T8.5 dwarf with an estimated spectral type of T9.

Substitutability and Protectionism: Latin America's Trade Policy and Imports from China and India

This paper examines the trade policy response of Latin American governments to the rapid growth of China and India in world markets. To explain higher protection in sectors where a large share is imported from these countries, we extend the 'protection for sale' model to allow for different degrees of substitutability between domestically produced and imported varieties. The extension suggests that higher levels of protection towards Chinese goods can be explained by high substitutability between domestically produced goods and Chinese goods, whereas lower levels of protection towards goods imported from India can be explained by low substitutability with domestically produced goods. The data supports the extension to the 'protection for sale' model, which performs better than the original specification in terms of explaining Latin America's structure of protection.
Molecular Analysis of the Interaction Between Staphylococcus aureus Protein Sbi and Immune System Protein C 3 d

Protein-protein interactions form the basis of cellular communication, signaling, and regulation. These interactions are governed by non-covalent forces, originating from electrostatic and van der Waals interactions at atomic resolution. Electrostatic interactions are often crucial to protein recognition and binding, particularly for highly and oppositely charged proteins. We examined the interactions between secreted protein Sbi from antibiotic-resistant strains of S. aureus with host immune system protein C3d, using electrostatic clustering and free energy analysis. We used the computational framework called Analysis of Electrostatic Similarities Of Proteins (AESOP) to perform computational alanine scans and we generated a series of protein variants with perturbed electrostatic properties. To elucidate the effect of each mutation in association (defined as recognition plus binding) of Sbi with C3d, we performed electrostatic clustering and association free energy calculations. The analysis of our data revealed which charged amino acids are important for the formation of the C3d-Sbi complex, thus pointing out gain-of-association or loss-of-association mutations. This knowledge will form the basis for the design of proteins with tailored binding properties, and thus tailored biological function, by incorporating multiple critical mutations. This project will guide the development of novel therapeutics for treatment of infections by S. aureus.
BIFURCATING AND BLOOMING JETS

▪ Abstract It is classically assumed that the far field of a round turbulent jet discharging into quiescent fluid has a unique behavior characterized only by its momentum flux. However, there is now considerable evidence that different discharge conditions at the jet nozzle exit can give rise to very different far-field flows. Perhaps the most striking examples of these are the bifurcating and blooming jets produced by appropriate combinations of controlled axial and circumferential excitations at the nozzle exit. With the right excitations, a jet can be made to divide into two separate jets (bifurcating jet), each of which carries half the axial momentum and spreads in a manner similar to a single jet. Trifurcating jets can also be produced. Other excitations can produce blooming jets, in which the jet explodes into a shower of vortex rings, producing a far-field flow that is quite unlike a normal unexcited jet. Bifurcating and blooming jets exhibit much greater mixing than normal jets, suggesting possib.
Organizational Practices and Prefigurative Spaces in European Queer Festivals

Social movement scholars have been actively debating the importance of organizational structures for solidarity and new social movements. This article investigates how queer festivals build on the horizontal structure legacy of those movements, constructing their own prefigurative models through a set of specific organizational practices. Queer festivals constitute a dynamic repertoire of action of queer politics in Europe, expanding across the continent. Based upon their belief in the limits of strict identity politics of gender and sexuality, queer festivals attempt to construct new identities, based upon their anti-identitarian ethos. Beyond their discursive frames, queer festivals, as prefigurative spaces, attempt to build their new identities through specific practices, reflected among others on their organizational choices. The article posits three key elements for the prefigurative model that queer festivals attempt to build: (1) Squats as the spaces in which queer movement actors build their anti-authoritarian identity; (2) the organizational choice based on horizontality; (3) the role of the Do-It-Yourself model for festivals' deployment. Insight into queer festivals is based on ethnographic research conducted in five European capitals, including semi-structured interviews.
Innovation Patterns Under the Magnifying Glass; Firm-Level Latent Class Analysis of Innovation Activities in Services

Innovation is still an obscure concept although many efforts have been made to improve the understanding and measurement of it. The growth of service activities throughout the economy has encouraged scholars, policy makers and executives to explore the determinants and features of the innovation developed by service enterprises. Many empirical studies that form the basis of recent literature on innovation in services have proved the existence of a wide range of innovation patterns, confuting the initial assumption that all services are supplier-dominated. In this sense, innovation in services cannot be analysed using a one-size-fits-all concept and that these activities have different innovative trajectories. This paper aims to analyse the real scope of diversity in innovation patterns in services regarding innovation activities and outputs. The empirical analysis is based on the Fourth Community Innovation Survey for Spain. In order to identify clusters with similar behaviour patterns as far as innovation activities and outputs are concerned, we will use the latent class analysis as alternative method of clustering. Firm-level analyses have permitted the in-dept scrutinisation of innovation patterns, beyond the boundary of the traditional standard industrial classification largely applied so far. The empirical results led to create an innovation typology for services, derived from innovation activities and the types of innovation developed, what is composed of four profiles: Knowledge Creator, Knowledge Adopter, Knowledge Creator and Adopter and Neither Creator nor Adopter of Knowledge. From the viewpoint of public innovation policies, the diversity of innovation patterns found encourages the development of tools based on sectoral differences in terms of the nature of the innovation process and the technological opportunities and products
Adaptive optimal transport

An adaptive, adversarial methodology is developed for the optimal transport problem between two distributions $\mu $ and $\nu $, known only through a finite set of independent samples $(x_i)_{i=1.n}$ and $(y_j)_{j=1.m}$. The methodology automatically creates features that adapt to the data, thus avoiding reliance on a priori knowledge of the distributions underlying the data. Specifically, instead of a discrete point-by-point assignment, the new procedure seeks an optimal map $T(x)$ defined for all $x$, minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence between $(T(x_i))$ and the target $(y_j)$. The relative entropy is given a sample-based, variational characterization, thereby creating an adversarial setting: as one player seeks to push forward one distribution to the other, the second player develops features that focus on those areas where the two distributions fail to match. The procedure solves local problems that seek the optimal transfer between consecutive, intermediate distributions between $\mu $ and $\nu $. As a result, maps of arbitrary complexity can be built by composing the simple maps used for each local problem. Displaced interpolation is used to guarantee global from local optimality. The procedure is illustrated through synthetic examples in one and two dimensions.
IEE E P ro of 1 Combining Solar Energy Harvesting with 2 Wireless Charging for Hybrid Wireless 3 Sensor Networks

5 Abstract—The application Q1 of wireless charging technology in traditional battery-powered wireless sensor networks (WSNs) grows 6 rapidly recently. Although previous studies indicate that the technology can deliver energy reliably, it still faces regulatory mandate to 7 provide high power density without incurring health risks. In particular, in clustered WSNs there exists a mismatch between the high 8 energy demands from cluster heads and the relatively low energy supplies from wireless chargers. Fortunately, solar energy harvesting 9 can provide high power density without health risks. However, its reliability is subject to weather dynamics. In this paper, we propose a 10 hybrid framework that combines the two technologies cluster heads are equipped with solar panels to scavenge solar energy and the 11 rest of nodes are powered by wireless charging. We divide the network into three hierarchical levels. On the first level, we study a 12 discrete placement problem of how to deploy solar-powered cluster heads that can minimize overall cost and propose a distributed 13 1:61ð1þ Þ-approximation algorithm for the placement. Then, we extend the discrete problem into continuous space and develop an 14 iterative algorithm based on the Weiszfeld algorithm. On the second level, we establish an energy balance in the network and explore 15 how to maintain such balance for wireless-powered nodes when sunlight is unavailable. We also propose a distributed cluster head 16 re-selection algorithm. On the third level, we first consider the tour planning problem by combining wireless charging with mobile data 17 gathering in a joint tour. We then propose a polynomial-time scheduling algorithm to find appropriate hitting points on sensors’ 18 transmission boundaries for data gathering. For wireless charging, we give the mobile chargers more flexibility by allowing partial 19 recharge when energy demands are high. The problem turns out to be a Linear Program. By exploiting its particular structure, we 20 propose an efficient algorithm that can achieve near-optimal solutions. Our extensive simulation results demonstrate that the hybrid 21 framework can reduce battery depletion by 20 percent and save vehicles’ moving cost by 25 percent compared to previous works. By 22 allowing partial recharge, battery depletion can be further reduced at a slightly increased cost. The results also suggest that we can 23 reduce the number of high-cost mobile chargers by deploying more low-cost solar-powered sensors.
Fighting increasing drop-out rates in the STEM field: The European readySTEMgo Project

Considerable progress has been recently made in increasing enrolment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) study programs. High dropout rates in STEM programs, however, tend to undermine the beneficial effects of all current attempts to increase student enrolment in these programs. The readySTEMgo project aims at reducing these dropout rates. Research has shown that social and academic
Elasticities of Supply for the US Natural Gas Market

In this paper we investigate natural gas producer's reactions to changes in market prices. We estimate price elasticities of aggregated supply in the most competitive market for natural gas: the United States. Using monthly time series data form 1987 to 2012 our analysis is based on an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bound Cointegration approach to obtain short and long-run elasticities of natural gas supply. Results suggest that natural gas producers in a competitive market are not able to react to prices in the very short-run but respond inelastic in the long-run. These findings are not only of great value for policy makers but also for gas market modelers.
Interpolation and extrapolation in color systems

KAKODKAR, ATISH PANDURANG. Interpolation and Extrapolation in Color Systems. (Under the direction of Prof. Sarah A. Rajala and Prof. H. Joel Trussell.) With the increased use of color in desktop publishing applications has come a desire for greater control of the color quality. Colorimetric reproduction requires calibrated color output devices. One approach to color calibration is to characterize a color output device with a three-dimensional look-up table. The look-up table maps the color specification values to the control values of the color output device. This thesis looks at the problem of obtaining the look-up table. The problem can be posed in the following manner. Given a set of control values {c. } on a regular grid and the corresponding set of color specification values {t. } obtained from data collection, find the {cg } for different {tg } on a grid in the color specification space. This grid should be fine enough so that simple interpolation is adequate to obtain control values for color specification values that are not in the table. The grid is obtained from a relatively sparse data set with an appropriately defined interpolation scheme. This interpolation scheme can be very complex since it is used only once to compute the grid. This regular finer grid can be used in real-time to obtain the control value for any color specification value located inside a given color gamut. Two interpolation schemes are evaluated in this thesis. One of the problems with constructing the fine grid of values for the LUT is the determination of values that are near the edge of the gamut of the output device. While the functions which represent the device are usually well behaved and smoothly varying, the truncation of the data can cause a problem with interpolation methods. An approach to solving the truncation problem is to extrapolate the data outside the gamut. The extrapolated points are then used in the interpolation to estimate the values for the fine grid. The use of extrapolated values permits the use of a single interpolation algorithm over the entire gamut of the device, rather than using a modified algorithm in regions near the edge of the gamut. The results of this method are comparable to other interpolation methods but it is simpler to implement. Three different extrapolation schemes are evaluated in this thesis and the best one is selected to obtain the look-up table. This thesis discusses the calibration of a thermal dye transfer color printer. Calibration is carried out initially for a mathematical model. The behaviour of this model is compared to the behaviour of the printer, both with and without the presence of noise. This can be used to determine whether the model is a good representation of the printer and can be used to predict the performance of the printer.

First-principles Study on the Properties of GPBII(Al2CuMg)(001)and S(Al2CuMg)(001) Surfaces

Surface structure and electronic properties of (001) surfaces of GPBII and Sphase were studied by using first-principles calculations. The calculations are performed within the density functional framework using the projector augmented plane wave (PAW) method. For different terminations of GPBII and S, the results in the GGA-PW91 and GGA-PBE almost give the same description for relaxation of different layers, and the relaxation results in GGA-PW91 and GGAPBE are more reliable in this calculation as compared with LDA.As compared the Total DOS of GPBII-Al(Cu)(001) termination surface and S-Al(Al)(001) termination surface, there are apparent differences on the height of main peak and the band district of the peak of density of states. The interaction of atoms in S-Al(Al)(001) termination surface is stronger than that of GPBII-Al(Cu)(001) termination surface. Introduction The high strength Al-Cu-Mg alloys with improved toughness and fatigue resistance properties are primary structural materials used in the aircraft industry. Surface stress and surface energy have been identified as the decisive factors for the understanding of a wide variety of surface phenomena [1]. The surface energy can supply an additional driving force for abnormal grain growth change after thermal treatments, therefore, the relaxation of the surfaces determine the equilibrium crystal shape of the crystals [2]. Therefore, a theoretical determination of the surface atomic structures and electronic properties is very significant. First-principles calculations are widely used in the study of surfaces and interfaces [3], providing much information that cannot be obtained by experiments. The purpose of the present work is to study the surface structure and electronic properties of (001) surfaces of GPBII and S phase, aiming to get information about surface structure relaxation and electronic density of states for different termination of these two phases.
