Improvement of Native Range through New Grass Introduction.

The stocking rates depicted by the graph represent a basis for conservative stocking rates over a period of years. In a year of high precipitation and consequently high forage yield, additional livestock numbers may be grazed during the summer and fall, or the grazing season may be extended to a greater length than usual. In event of drought, livestock numbers may be reduced by selling more th'an the usual number of livestock, culling more strictly, or shortening the grazing period and extending the winter feeding period. Until more is known about proper levels of utilization, the proposed graph may serve the purpose of adjusting stocking rates as deemed necessary. A regression equation Y = 27.17 + 78.48 X, where Y = estimated yield of forage in pounds per acre, and X inches of precipitation in May plus June, was developed. This equation may be used to estimate forage production as early as July 1 each year. Assuming that a mature beef cow (1,000 pounds) requires 660 pounds of forage (airdry basis) per month an estimate of carrying capacity is determined for the varying amounts of forage production estimated. The data presented may be of considerable value in forecasting r a n g e production and stocking rates within certain limits. In years of high precipitation, the forage production may be high and the carrying capacity may consequently be increased. In event of drought, livestock numbers may be decreased to cope with reduced production.
Modeling the environmental dependence of the growth rate of cosmic structure

The growth rate of cosmic structure is a powerful cosmological probe for extracting information on the gravitational interactions and dark energy. In the late time Universe, the growth rate becomes non-linear and is usually probed by measuring the two point statistics of galaxy clustering in redshift space up to a limited scale, retaining the constraint on the linear growth rate f. In this letter, we present an alternative method to analyse the growth of structure in terms of local densities, i.e. f(Delta). Using N-body simulations, we measure the function of f(Delta) and show that structure grows faster in high density regions and slower in low density regions. We demonstrate that f(Delta) can be modelled using a log-normal Monte Carlo Random Walk approach, which provides a means to extract cosmological information from f(Delta). We discuss prospects for applying this approach to galaxy surveys.
Highlight in Developmental Biology Tube Morphogenesis — THE EXTRAcellular DIMENSION

The human body is replete with tubular organs that are essential for the secretion, transport, exchange, and storage of vital fluids. These organs sustain human physiology by virtue of the salient features of a select group of cells that support tubular architectures. Hence, a fundamental question in developmental biology concerns how cells interact with each other to form tubular structures during early embryogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that in addition to the role played by the cells themselves, the extracellular matrix (ECM) also contributes to tube morphogenesis.

Research progress on anti-infection therapy for sepsis in children

Abstract Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response caused by infection and a critical illness in pediatrics. This disease is the leading cause of death in infants and children worldwide. An early, appropriate, and adequate anti-infective treatment can effectively prevent disease progression and improve the survival rate of children. However, antimicrobial drug abuse, increased drug-resistant bacteria, and lack of epidemiological data have hampered the effective and rational anti-infective treatment of patients with sepsis and enhancement of the success rate of rescue, especially for children. This article briefly reviews the recent advances in anti-infective treatment for sepsis in children at home and abroad based on sepsis definition, pathogen distribution and drug resistance, infection source control, and rational anti-infection. The results provide a foundation for clinical treatment of sepsis.
Corporate Reform and Governance

In light of the publicity accorded recent corporate scandals, numerous proposals have been introduced for reforming corporate governance. This paper provides a theoretical framework through which to evaluate these reforms. Unlike various ad hoc arguments that have been made, this framework recognizes that governance structures arise endogenously in response to the constrained optimization problems faced by the relevant parties. As such, we find that there is reason to be suspicious of reforms with respect to their impact on welfare. Indeed, with some exceptions, we find that proposed reforms will have negative and likely unintended consequences, such as increasing management’s incentives to distort information, increasing managerial compensation, and reducing managers’ willingness to take risks.
Multiplicative Error State Kalman Filter vs Nonlinear Complimentary Filter for a High Performance Aircraft Attitude Estimation

Modern control law designs increasingly use aircraft attitude information to improve aircraft manoeuverability. Attitude information allows for gravity term compensations in the longitudinal as well as lateral directional control laws of a typical fighter aircraft. Methodologies and comparisons of multiplicative error state Kalman filter (MEKF) and nonlinear complimentary filter for estimation of attitudes of a high performance aircraft using its onboard autonomous sensors is presented. Shows a problem in pitch angle estimation beyond ± 80 deg in the MEKF and a solution is proposed for the same for the first time. Also presents novel aiding sensor modelling for the implementation of attitude heading reference system for this class of aircraft for the first time. The filter formulations are evaluated using full range manuoevering real flight test data.
Competitive mating in Drosophila melanogaster

Selective differences among male Drosophila melanogaster due to differences in ability to compete for mates may often have been under-estimated in the past because, under the test procedure used, females did not represent a limited resource. In the experiment reported here, no difference was detected between inbred and outbred males ‘competing’ to mate with an equal number of females. When the receptive female: male ratio was halved a large reduction in male mating ability due to inbreeding became apparent.
Modelling range shifts for Swiss breeding birds

In recent years, evidence has accumulated about the impacts of climate change on different aspects of bird life. In the spatial dimension, climate change has been shown to induce pole ward and upward shifts of species’ distributional ranges. Switzerland is a small country situated in western Europe and is characterized by an important elevational gradient; main distributional changes are therefore expected in the vertical dimension. This aspect has been addressed by the first phase of the project ClimBird 1 recently developed at the Swiss Ornithological Institute. In particular, this phase aimed at assessing ongoing changes in the elevational distribution of common breeding birds in Switzerland (Maggini et al . unpubl. data ). The analysis was performed on data gathered by the Swiss national common breeding bird survey (MHB ; Schmid et al ., 2004), a monitoring program me started in 1999 and conducted on an annual basis. The survey encompasses 267 1 - km 2 squares that are distributed across Switzerland as a grid and hence are representative of different biogeographical zones, elevation bands and habitats. Each square is surveyed three times – twice for squares above the treeline – per breeding season (15 April to 15 July) by qualified volunteers who map all birds seen or heard along a square - specific route. At the end of the season, territories are identified from the mapped points. Shifts were assessed between a first (1999 – 2002) and a second period of monitoring (2004 – 07). For each period, the observed number of territories per km 2 was modelled as a function of elevation using generalize d additive models (GAMs). Significant changes in the shape of the regression curve were evaluated at five reference points. The comparison showed an upward shift for at least one - third of the 95 species considered. This was rarely a complete shift, but mainly a partial shift with either an expansion of the leading edge or a retraction of the trailing edge. Due to the short period covered by the analysis, the different patterns are assumed to represent successive steps in the process of an upward shift. However, similar patterns may result from factors other than climate such as the encountering of barriers, a change in habitat suitability, competition with other species or different warming rates along the gradient
Unextendible maximally entangled bases in dxd

We investigate the unextendible maximally entangled bases in $\mathbb{C}^{d}\bigotimes\mathbb{C}^{d}$ and present a $30$-number UMEB construction in $\mathbb{C}^{6}\bigotimes\mathbb{C}^{6}$. For higher dimensional case, we show that for a given $N$-number UMEB in $\mathbb{C}^{d}\bigotimes\mathbb{C}^{d}$, there is a $\widetilde{N}$-number, $\widetilde{N}=(qd)^2-(d^2-N)$, UMEB in $\mathbb{C}^{qd}\bigotimes\mathbb{C}^{qd}$ for any $q\in\mathbb{N}$. As an example, for $\mathbb{C}^{12n}\bigotimes\mathbb{C}^{12n}$ systems, we show that there are at least two sets of UMEBs which are not equivalent.
Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I in tetranychid mites: a comparison between molecular phylogeny and changes of morphological and life history traits

Spider mites, Tetranychidae, represent one of the most cosmopolitan and economically important groups of terrestrial arthropods; however, many aspects of their evolutionary relationships remain uncertain. We sequenced part of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene in 20 species of phytophagous mites belonging to nine genera and two families (Tetranychidae and Tenuipalpidae), including several agricultural pests. As eported in insects, the sequences were extremely rich in A + T (75% on average), especially in the third codon position (95%). However, one of the genera we studied had a significantly lower A + T content (69% on average, 78% in the third codon position), showing that base composition can change substantially over short periods of time. Most interspecific differences were transversions and their number increased steadily with the number of non-synonymous differences, while the number of transitions remained constant. The phylogeny based on COI sequences was inferred using the maximum likelihood method. The results are compatible as a whole with the traditional classification based on morphological characters, but call for some minor taxonomic revisions. Some morphological characters and life history traits (mode of reproduction, adaptation to the host plant) were also analysed within this phylogenetic framework. At the family level, one can see a trend towards thelytoky becoming rarer compared to the general mode of reproduction of the group, arrhenotoky. There is also an evolutionary tendency towards a more complex mode of life, with the production of silk webs and correlated changes of the locomotion apparatus. However, in the Tetranychidae there seems to have been convergent evolution of these morphological characters together with independent development of a common adaptation to this mode of life in different genera.
Ontogeny and functional histochemistry of the digestive and visual systems and other organs during the larval development of the thick-lipped grey mullet, Chelon labrosus

The main ontogenetic and functional changes of the digestive and visual systems of Chelon labrosus during the first three months from fertilization until 99 days post-hatch (dph) are described. An extended slow growth pattern (3.93%) during the first three weeks of larval life was discernible. A long transitional period of mixed endo-exogenous feeding was noticeable until 13 dph. The majority of organ systems and structures (eye, digestive system, liver, pancreas, thyroid and others) were developed and functional before first feeding (mouth opening at 4 dph). First differentiation of gastric glands was detected at 16 dph, with the appearance of a noticeable pyloric muscular portion or typical gizzard and first developed pyloric caeca from 23 dph. The presence of pinocytotic supranuclear vesicles (5 dph) was still visible in the posterior intestine until the third month of life. The eyes exhibited early differentiation and functionality (pigmentation, first cone-type photoreceptors) during the lecithotrophic phase (2 dph), and development of all typical retinal layers containing different retinal cell types was progressively discernible from 16 dph onwards. From this time, rod photoreceptor precursor cells were incorporated into the basal region of the outer nuclear layer, and increases of two types of photoreceptors (cones and rods) were detected from 23 dph.
Deep spectroscopy of nearby galaxy clusters - IV. The quench of the star formation in galaxies in the infall region of Abell 85

Our aim is to understand the role of the environment in the quenching of star formation of galaxies located in the infall cluster region of Abell 85 (A85). This is achieved by studying the post-starburst galaxy population as tracer of recent quenching. By measuring the equivalent width (EW) of the [OII] and Hdelta spectral lines, we classify the galaxies in three groups: passive (PAS), emission line (EL), and post-starburst (PSB) galaxies. The PSB galaxy population represents about 4.5% of the full sample. Dwarf galaxies (Mr > -18.0) account for about 70 - 80% of PSBs, which indicates that most of the galaxies undergoing recent quenching are low-mass objects. Independently of the environment, PSB galaxies are disk-like objects with g - r colour between the blue ELs and the red PAS ones. The PSB and EL galaxies in low-density environments show similar luminosities and local galaxy densities. The dynamics and local galaxy density of the PSB population in high density environments are shared with PAS galaxies. However, PSB galaxies inside A85 are at shorter clustercentric radius than PAS and EL ones. The value of the EW(Hdelta) is larger for those PSBs closer to the cluster centre. We propose two different physical mechanisms producing PSB galaxies depending on the environment. In low density environments, gas-rich minor mergers or accretions could produce the PSB galaxies. For high density environments like A85, PSBs would be produced by the removal of the gas reservoirs of EL galaxies by ram-pressure stripping when they pass near to the cluster centre.
The Taxonomy of the Brown Rot Fungi (Monilinia spp.) Related to their Extracellular Cell Wall-degrading Enzymes

SUMMARY: Patterns of extracellular enzymes secreted by the brown rot fungi Monilinia fructigena, M. fructicola, M. laxa and M. laxa f. sp. mali were studied by column isoelectric focusing. Of the four enzymes assayed, α-L-arabinofuranosidase (AF) showed the greatest differences between species. Thus M. fructicola had high AF activity at isoelectric point (pI) 5.1, M. fructigena had AF peaks at pI 3.0 and 7.0, M. laxa showed activity over the pI range 6.0 to about 7.3 with distinct peaks at 6.7 and 7.2, and M. laxa f. sp. mali had very high AF activity at pI 7.2. The pectinlyase (PL) patterns were also useful for identification: the characteristic molecular form of PL in cultures of M. laxa and M. laxa f. sp. mali was at pI 9.1, while the two other species showed single peaks of activity at about pI 8.5. However, some M. laxa isolates also produced a peak at pI 8.5, although this was less active than the characteristic one at pI 9.1. The polygalacturonase and pectinesterase enzyme patterns were not useful for distinguishing between the Monilinia fungi. The AF and PL enzyme patterns from known isolates were used to identify several ‘unknown’ brown rot cultures, including M. laxa isolates from stone fruits in Australia and M. laxa from Stranvaesia undulata, a new host in England.
The Acquisition of Information and the Adoption of New Technology

This paper presents a dynamic model of diffusion of a new technology involving a variable input. The model highlights the role of active information accumulation, which entails costs. It generates several hypotheses regarding the likely pattern of adoption and use of the variable input over time by farmers of differing holding sizes and different access to information. It provides a possible explanation to the often observed lag in adoption of innovations by smaller farmers. Analysis of data from India on knowledge and adoption of several practices yields results which are generally consistent with the hypotheses suggested by the theoretical framework.
Massless scalar field in de Sitter spacetime: unitary quantum time evolution

We prove that, under the standard conformal scaling, a free scalar field in de Sitter spacetime admits an O(4)-invariant Fock quantization such that time evolution is unitarily implemented. Since this applies in particular to the massless case, this result disproves previous claims in the literature. We discuss the relationship between this quantization with unitary dynamics and the family of O(4)-invariant Hadamard states given by Allen and Folacci, as well as with the Bunch–Davies vacuum.
"If they share their puppets -you know they will share their knowledge" - a study of teacher leadership in Early Childhood,

As a result of Education Department organisation and political change early childhood education in Western Australia has undergone many changes in recent years. Over the last twenty years community based preschool centres run by early childhood specialists have slowly been incorporated under the umbrella of local primary schools. In some instances this has meant more stable, experienced management, inclusion in a positive school environment and the availability of many educational initiatives. Under the jurisdiction of school principals the early childhood field has had the advantage of annual planning cycles, regular performance management, professional development and departmental policies designed to ensure consistency and quality in the production of a valuable educational service. In the process of this change there have also been some noticeable losses.
Holonomic gradient method for two-way contingency tables

The holonomic gradient method gives an algorithm to efficiently and accurately evaluate normalizing constants and their derivatives. It utilizes holonomic differential equations or holonomic difference equations. Y.Goto and K.Matsumoto gave a system of difference equations for the hypergeometric system of type (k, n). We apply their system to evaluate the normalizing constant and its derivatives of the conditional Poisson or multinomial distribution on two way contingency tables. The modular method in computer algebra has been used for an efficient and exact evaluation. We will also discuss on complexities of these algorithms and their implementation.
Trait-dependent branching particle systems with competition and multiple offspring

In this work we model the dynamics of a population that evolves as a continuous time branching process with a trait structure and ecological interactions in form of mutations and competition between individuals. We generalize existing microscopic models by allowing individuals to have multiple offspring at a reproduction event. Furthermore, we allow the reproduction law to be influenced both by the trait type of the parent as well as by the mutant trait type. We look for tractable large population approximations. More precisely, under some natural assumption on the branching and mutation mechanisms, we establish a superprocess limit as solution of a well-posed martingale problem. Standard approaches do not apply in our case due to the lack of the branching property, which is a consequence of the dependency created by the competition between individuals. For showing uniqueness we therefore had to develop a generalization of Dawson's Girsanov Theorem that may be of independent interest.

REVISITING TRADITIONAL ASSUMPTIONS IN PRINCIPLES-AND-PARAMETERS THEORY

Empirical data from languages as diverse as French, Arabic, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese lead us to re-examine two traditional assumptions of principles-and-parameters theory. The first one is that most parameters are binary-valued as opposed to multi-valued. The second one is that parameter values are mutually exclusive, as opposed to mutually inclusive; i.e., languages must select one of two possible options. It is suggested that some languages may allow multiple-switch settings: both settings are used for different constructions, in the case of syntactic parameters, or different words, in the case of phonological parameters. These languages raise interesting questions from a learnability perspective in both first and second language acquisition. It is briefly suggested that these superset languages may not create insurmountable differences. In fact, empirical data show that second language learners do entertain both setting of a parameter at once.
