Peristerite compositions in quartzofeldspathic schists, Franz Josef‐Fox Glacier Area, New Zealand

Plagioclase compositions vary from An0.1–2.5 to An32 with increasing grade in chlorite zone to oligoclase zone quartzofeldspathic schists, Franz Josef-Fox Glacier area, Southern Alps, New Zealand. This change is interrupted by the peristerite composition gap in rocks transitional between greenschist and amphibolite facies grade. Oligoclase (An20-24) and albite (An0.1–0.5) are found in biotite zone schists below the garnet isograd. With increasing grade, the plagioclase compositions outline the peristerite gap, which is asymmetric and narrows to compositions of An12 and An6 near the top of the garnet zone. In any one sample, oligoclase is the stable mineral in mica-rich layers above the garnet isograd, whereas albite and oligoclase exist in apparent textural equilibrium in adjacent quartz-plagioclase layers. The initial appearance of oligoclase in both layers results from the breakdown of epidote and possibly sphene. Carbonate is restricted to the quartz-plagioclase rich layers and probably accounts for the more sodic composition of oligoclase in these layers. The formation of more Ca-rich albite and more Na-rich oligoclase near the upper limit of the garnet zone coincides with the disappearance of carbonate and closure of the peristerite gap. Garnet appears to have only a localized effect on Ca-enrichment of plagioclase in mica-rich layers within the garnet zone. The Na-content of white mica increases sympathetically with increasing Ca-content of oligoclase and metamorphic grade. Comparison of the peristerite gap in the Franz Josef-Fox Glacier schists and schists of the same bulk composition in the Haast River area, 80 km to the S, indicates that oligoclase appears and epidote disappears at lower temperatures, and that the composition gap between coexisting albite and oligoclase is narrower in the Franz Josef-Fox Glacier area. It is suggested that a higher thermal gradient (38-40°C/km) and variations in Si/Al ordering during growth of the plagioclases between the two areas may account for these differences. In the Alpine schists the peristerite gap exists over a temperature and pressure interval of about 370-515°C and 5.5-7 kbar (550-700 MPa) PH2O.
both mitophagy and pexophagy

Mitochondria and peroxisomes are closely related metabolic organelles, both in terms of origin and in terms of function. Mitochondria and peroxisomes can also be turned over by autophagy, in processes termed mitophagy and pexophagy, respectively. However, despite their close relationship, it is not known if both organelles are turned over under similar conditions, and if so, how this might be coordinated molecularly. Here, we find that multiple selective autophagy pathways are activated upon iron chelation and show that mitophagy and pexophagy occur in a BNIP 3 L/NIX-dependent manner. We reveal that the outer mitochondrial membrane-anchored NIX protein, previously described as a mito-phagy receptor, also independently localises to peroxisomes and drives pexophagy. We show this process happens in vivo , with mouse tissue that lacks NIX having a higher peroxisomal content. We further show that pexophagy is stimulated under the same physiological conditions that activate mitophagy, including cardiomyocyte and erythrocyte differentiation. Taken together, our work uncovers a dual role for NIX, not only in mitophagy but also in pexophagy, thus illustrating the interconnection between selective autophagy pathways.
BY-SA 4.0 The Effect of Liquid Organic Fertilizer of Rabbit Urine and Concentration of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria of Bamboo Root on the Growth and Yield of Mustard Green Plants

Mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) are one type of favorable vegetable. However, mustard greens production and productivity still fluctuate. Also, society expects quality, healthy and safe vegetable products for consumption. So, it is necessary to increase the use of organic fertilizers to produce high productivity and good products. LOF of rabbit urine contains high nutrients, and PGPR contains microorganisms that act as bioactivators that decompose organic matter. This study aimed to determine the effect of giving LOF of rabbit urine and concentration of PGPR of bamboo roots on the growth and yield of mustard greens. The experiment was carried out factorially using Random Design Complete with three replications. The first factor was the LOF dose of rabbit urine, and the second was the PGPR concentration which consisted of 4 levels. The results showed that (1) the interaction of LOF of rabbit urine and concentrations of PGPR of bamboo root had no significantly different effect on all variables; (2) LOF of rabbit urine had no significantly different effect on all variables and (3) PGPR concentration of bamboo roots had a significant different effect on all variables except root volume and number of leaves, where treatment of 15 ml/L (B3) gave the best results on the yield of mustard greens.
Cooperative relay to improve diversity in cognitive radio networks

Recent studies demonstrated that dynamic spectrum access can improve spectrum utilization significantly by allowing secondary unlicensed users to dynamically share the spectrum that is not used by the primary licensed users. Cognitive radio was proposed to promote the spectrum utilization by opportunistically exploiting the existence of spectrum "holes. " Meanwhile, cooperative relay technology is regarded widely as a key technology for increasing transmission diversity gain in various types of wireless networks, including cognitive radio networks. In this article, we first give a brief overview of the envisioned applications of: cooperative relay technology to CRNs, cooperative transmission of primary traffic by secondary users, cooperative transmission between secondary nodes to improve spatial diversity, and cooperative relay between secondary nodes to improve spectrum diversity. As the latter is a new direction, in this article we focus on this scenario and investigate a simple wireless network, where a spectrum-rich node is selected as the relay node to improve the performance between the source and the destination. With the introduction of cooperative relay, many unique problems should be considered, especially the issue for relay selection and spectrum allocation. To demonstrate the feasibility and performance of cooperative relay for cognitive radio, a new MAC protocol was proposed and implemented in a universal software radio peripheral-based testbed. Experimental results show that the throughput of the whole system is greatly increased by exploiting the benefit of cooperative relay.
Analysis of Listen Before Talk Protocol Implementation in Terrestrial Network Using Multi-Node LoRa Communication

This research implements wireless communication technology using Listen Before Talk (LBT) method and Long Range (LoRa) technology that enables efficient long-distance communication. The LBT protocol allows devices to listen to the communication channel before sending data, while the LoRa technology provides long-range communication capabilities with low power consumption. Both of these have significant implications in addressing transmission quality and distance challenges in wireless communications, especially in complex terrestrial environments. Test results show that LBT effectively reduces collisions at distances of 10 to 50 meters, Data transmission efficiency is also improved by using the LBT method with 90% efficiency from the previous 82% without LBT. This shows that LBT helps maximize data transmission by reducing data packet loss, so that the data received is closer to the amount of data sent, thus showing the positive potential of the LBT protocol in maintaining data transmission integrity in terrestrial environments.
Improving conversations about Parkinson's dementia

Background People with Parkinson's disease (PD) have an increased risk of dementia, yet patients and clinicians frequently avoid talking about it due to associated stigma, and the perception that ''nothing can be done about it''. However, open conversations about PD dementia mean that people with the condition can access treatment and support, and are more likely to participate in research aimed at understanding PD dementia. Objectives: To co-produce information resources for patients and healthcare professionals to improve conversations about PD dementia. Methods: We worked with people with PD, engagement experts, artists, and a PD charity to open up these conversations. 34 participants (16 PD; 6 PD dementia; 1 Parkinsonism, 11 caregivers) attended creative workshops to examine fears about PD dementia and develop information resources. 25 PD experts contributed to the resources. Results: While most people with PD (70%) and caregivers (81%) shared worries about cognitive changes at the workshops, only 38% and 30% respectively had raised these concerns with a healthcare professional. 91% of people with PD and 73% of caregivers agreed that PD clinicians should ask about cognitive changes routinely through direct questions and perform cognitive tests at clinic appointments. We used insights from the creative workshops, and input from a network of PD experts to co-develop two open-access resources: one for people with PD and their families, and one for healthcare professionals. Conclusion: Using artistic and creative workshops, co-learning and striving for diverse voices, we co-produced relevant resources for a wider audience to improve conversations about PD dementia.
Physical geographic conditions in the Gardno Lake catchment (Wolin Island)

The Gardno Lake catchment on Wolin Island is located within the Wolin Range micro-region. Its coastal location and early glacial terrain within the temperate climate zone are the distinguishing features of this catchment. The catchment is non-run-off in character, and its area is dominated by beech forests and affected by a small degree of human impact. In the Gardno Lake catchment, atmospheric precipitation undergoes both physical and chemical conversion during its permeation in the beech forest zone, and then during infiltration through the slope cover, percolation to aquifers and subsequent drainage down towards the lake. A pattern of increased mineral content and higher pH at subsequent stages of water circulation were also identified. In the period 2010 – 2014, on a monthly basis, waters at the atmospheric stage ( precipitation, throughfall, stemflow ), transitional stage ( throughflow ), and lithospheric stage ( groundwaters, lake waters ) were examined in the Gardno Lake catchment. The research study described herein allowed to determine changes in water physical and chemical characteristics at individual stages of its cycle and discrete solute loads reaching the studied catchment area. The annual variability of water mineral content circulating in the Gardno Lake geoecosystem – presented in the paper – was calculated via the total concentration of biogenic ions (NO 3 – , NH 4 + , K +), denudation-originated ions ( SO4 2– , Ca 2+, Mg 2+), and ions resulting from a large supply of marine aerosols ( Cl –– Na + ).

Developments and requirement about mapping survei in Indonesia are getting faster and the lack of availability of basic point technique used as a point of the belt as well as the least amount of human resources who understand the job of mapping surveis, is one of the factors restricting to produce a map of the situation quickly (real time) and can also provide data quality and a good position. Then it needs a system of measurement that can give results that can satisfy the needs of mapping in Indonesia.

Development and applicability of flood vulnerability index using groundwater levels

강우는 하천 수위의 상승 및 주변 충적 분지내 지하수위의 상승을 야기하여 토양수분 함량 증가를 가져올 수 있는데, 이 현상들은 지표 홍수의 규모에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 지하수 관측정에서 측정된 지하수위 시계열 자료의 수위 상승 이벤트를 대상으로 수위 상승 기울기와 최고 지점에서의 지하수위 깊이를 산정하여 지하수 홍수강도를 계산하였으며, 고수위가 유지되는 기간과의 상관관계를 활용하여 홍수취약성 평가를 위한 지수를 고안하였다. 또한, 지수 산정 결과를 현장의 토양 습윤화 및 침수 현상과 비교해 본 결과 수변지역 홍수취약성 평가에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 향후 지하수위 미계측 지역에서의 적용성을 높이기 위해서 토양, 토지이용, 수문, 지형 등의 지역별 인자와의 상관관계로부터 홍수취약성 평가 모델을 개발할 필요가 있겠다.
Galactic chemical evolution in hierarchical formation models

We study the metallicities and abundance ratios of early-type galaxies in cosmological semi-analytic models (SAMs) within the hierarchical galaxy formation paradigm. To achieve this we implemented a detailed galactic chemical evolution model and can now predict abundances of individual elements for the galaxies in the semi-analytic simulations. This is the first time a SAM with feedback from active galactic nuclei has included a chemical evolution prescription that relaxes the instantaneous recycling approximation. We find that the new models are able to reproduce the observed mass-metallicity (M(star)-[ Z/H]) relation and, for the first time in a SAM, we reproduce the observed positive slope of the mass-abundance ratio (M(star)-[alpha/Fe]) relation. Our results indicate that in order to simultaneously match these observations of early-type galaxies, the use of both a very mildly top-heavy initial mass function (i.e. with a slope of x = 1.15 as opposed to a standard x = 1.3), and a lower fraction of binaries that explode as Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) appears to be required. We also examine the rate of SN explosions in the simulated galaxies. In early-type (non-star-forming) galaxies, our predictions are also consistent with the observed SNe rates. However, in star-forming galaxies, a higher fraction of SN Ia binaries than in our preferred model is required to match the data. If, however, we deviate from the classical model and introduce a population of SNe Ia with very short delay times, our models simultaneously produce a good match to the observed metallicities, abundance ratios and SN rates.
Circulation generale et photochimie dans l'atmosphere de titan

Depuis une vingtaine d'annees, l'atmosphere de Titan fait l'objet de tres nombreuses observations et etudes theoriques. Ce systeme complexe pose beaucoup de questions, en particulier quant aux relations entre ses differentes composantes, microphysique des aerosols, photochimie et dynamique atmospherique. Ce travail de these s'inscrit dans une volonte d'approfondir notre connaissance de ces interactions. Le developpement d'un modele photochimique a deux dimensions (altitude-latitude) permet le couplage entre photochimie, jusqu'a present etudiee sur la seule dimension verticale, et dynamique atmospherique, qui apporte une description plus pertinente du transport des especes chimiques dans la basse atmosphere. Nous avons developpe une description tridimensionnelle du flux ultraviolet permettant d'aborder les effets saisonniers sur l'ensemble de la planete. Les donnees photochimiques ont ete mises a jour. La partie dynamique comprend la prise en compte de la circulation meridienne, ainsi que des diffusions turbulentes verticale et horizontale. Les simulations de la composition de l'atmosphere en fonction de la latitude et de la saison, completees par des etudes de sensibilite et d'impact purement dynamique, demontrent le role de ce transport sur les profils latitudinaux observes dans la basse stratosphere par la mission Voyager. La comparaison entre les diverses observations et les simulations est globalement satisfaisante. Les incertitudes importantes sur les donnees chimiques restent une source majeure de difficultes. L'etude de la retroaction radiative des variations de composition sur le champ de temperature a ete abordee grâce a l'introduction du suivi de la composition dans le GCM. Cet outil, permettant un couplage complet entre photochimie, dynamique atmospherique et microphysique des aerosols sera, une fois finalise, un outil puissant pour l'etude des nombreuses donnees attendues de la mission Cassini-Huygens.
TeV Gamma-Ray Emission Observed from Geminga with HAWC

Geminga is a radio-quiet pulsar ~250 parsecs from Earth that was first discovered as a GeV gamma-ray source and then identified as a pulsar. Milagro observed an extended TeV source spatially consistent with Geminga. HAWC observes a similarly extended source. Observations of Geminga's flux and extension will be presented.
AGN Physics with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The ``AGN Physics with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey'' conference was held at Princeton University in July 2003 to bring together groups working inside and outside of the SDSS collaboration at radio through X-ray wavelengths to discuss the common goal of better understanding the physics of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Although we still do not have a full understanding of AGN, much progress has been made in recent years. In this conference summary, we concentrate on those topics discussed at the meeting where we believe that there has been significant change or where there is a new standard of comparison, as well as on important new trends in AGN research.
Study of the Core of the Shapley Concentration: I. the Sample †

We report the first results of a spectroscopic survey of galaxies in the core of the Shapley Concentration, the richest nearby supercluster of clusters of galaxies. We have measured 311 new galaxy redshifts in an area of ∼ 4.5 square degrees centered around the Abell cluster A3558. Considering also the data already available in the literature, the total number of galaxy redshifts in this area amounts to more than 500. On the basis of these data we estimate the mean velocities and the velocity dispersions of the Abell clusters A3556, A3558 and the poor cluster SC 1329 -314. Finally, from an analysis of the projected and three–dimensional distributions of galaxies in this region, we estimate the galaxy overdensity and find that the core of the Shapley Concentration has an interesting, very complex dynamical state: the main clusters appear to be interacting with each other, forming a single elongated structure containing many subcondensations.
Perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of pure N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory from wrapped branes

The Maldacena-Nuñez solution is generalized to include a number of integration constants, one of which controls the resolution of the singularity of the wrapped D5-brane background. Some features of the dual pure N = 1 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory are calculated, amongst which the gluino condensate, the beta function of the gauge coupling and a brane probe potential, which is related to the Veneziano-Yankielowicz effective potential. Each integration constant has a precise meaning in the dual SYM theory, e.g., the amount of non-perturbative SYM physics captured by the gravity configuration is described by the singularity resolution parameter.
Multiple computer‐automated structure evaluation study of aquatic toxicity II. Fathead minnow

An acute toxicity model was constructed on the basis of experimental data for 685 chemicals tested for toxicity for fathead minnow. The multiple computer‐automated structure evaluation (M‐CASE) program was used for the construction of the model. Based on a comparison between our results and published results, we found that the methodology is able to describe acute toxicity for the fathead minnow with high accuracy. The model incorporates the concept of a baseline activity as one of the parameters for the correlation as well as others parameters such as the presence of biophores, hardness‐softness parameters, and other characteristics determined from quantum mechanical calculations. By using its artificial intelligence algorithm, M‐CASE chooses automatically the most suitable set of parameters for evaluating the minnow toxicity of any organic molecule. We found that M‐CASE can correctly predict acute toxicity for minnow for 80% of organic compounds with an average error of only 0.4 log units of lethal dose. The main toxicophores, corresponding to polar narcosis and to other types of reactive chemicals, were identified.
Perspectives of Non-Gaussianity in Atmospheric Synoptic and Low-Frequency Variability

AbstractUnderstanding non-Gaussian statistics of atmospheric synoptic and low-frequency variability has important consequences in the atmospheric sciences, not least because weather and climate risk assessment depends on knowing and understanding the exact shape of the system’s probability density function. While there is no doubt that many atmospheric variables exhibit non-Gaussian statistics on many time (and spatial) scales, a full and complete understanding of this phenomenon remains a challenge. Various mechanisms behind the observed atmospheric non-Gaussian statistics have been proposed but remain, however, multifaceted and scattered in the literature: nonlinear dynamics, multiplicative noise, cross-frequency coupling, nonlinear boundary layer drag, and others. Given the importance of this subject for weather and climate research, and in an attempt to contribute to this topic, a thorough review and discussion of the different mechanisms that lead to non-Gaussian weather and climate variability are p.
Constructing Area-based Composite Index for Social Service Planning

The purpose of this paper is to construct an area-base index of children’s needs for serving the basis of policy-making in respect of social services. For constructing area-based index, an arithmetic composite indicator is developed in which areas are scored on several variables and the scores are combined to identify those areas that are consistently high across all variables. This index is calculated at Neighbourhood that were created by Sheffield City Council for their town planning and management purposes. The indices are calculated using both counts and rates because from a service planning and prioritising perspectives, it is important to know both the areas that have a large number of children in need, and the areas where the number of children in need relative to the total number of children is high or low. Next, the results are supported by comparing them with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM)’s Index of Multiple Deprivation 2004. The advantages of the arithmetic transparency are first that it enables local authorities and agencies to make easy to assess the needs in town and regional planning. Second, although the methods in this paper does not attempt to explain directly about the underlying social processes that lead to any particular outcome, this approach is ideal for use by relevant analysts and decision-makers to highlight areas of their city that deserve closer scrutiny to understand such social process and prepare remedial actions. Therefore, the underlying premise of the type of spatial analysis in this paper is that in a context of finite resources, it is necessary to identify where resources may be targeted geographically across multiple departments and agencies to address particular sets of issues (health, education, employment, deprivation and welfare).
