Swidden Cultivation: A Review of Concepts and Issues

Encroachment of forest lands for cultivation occupies a central position in the debate on tropical deforestation. The paper attempts to analyse various concepts and issues involved in swidden. These include various ecological, economic and institutional aspects. In ecological issues, we have attempted to see the deforestation, biodiversity and soil erosion problems. Economic issues primarily deal with factor use, production and output and energy efficiency related to swidden vis-a-vis other forms of land use. The institutional aspects see the property right structure and social norms that guide the swiddening society and the state policy that has affected the life style of these people. One of the important issues the paper poses that, the consequences of failure to anticipate the ecological and social facets of land use changes, may lead to short-term economic gains, but sustainability of such changes in the long-run is questionable.
Characteristics of subjects with Brugada syndrome type electrocardiogram

Brugada syndrome is an inherited arrhythmia disorder that predisposes to sudden cardiac death. It is characterized by its distinct ECG pattern. The purpose of this thesis was to study the phenotype and genotype characteristics of subjects with Brugada syndrome type ECG. The first study population consisted of 2479 young male Air Force applicants and 542 healthy middle-aged subjects. The 12-lead ECG was analyzed to assess the prevalence and prognosis of Brugada pattern in Finnish population. The second population consisted of 168 patients with AF. The ECGs of the patients with family history of lone AF were analysed in order to characterize the ECG features of familial AF. The third population consisted of 200 patients with Brugada syndrome and their ECGs were analyzed for detection of distinct ECG characteristics. In a substudy, the H558R variant was genotyped and the clinical presentation of this variant was evaluated. The clinical characteristics were collected of 47 patients with induced Brugada ECG during fever or medication. The prevalence of type 2 or 3 Brugada ECG was 0.61% in the young population and 0.55% in the middle-aged Finnish population. In a retrospective analysis, none of the Brugada ECG carriers had died. In the AF study, the prevalence of type 2 or 3 Brugada ECG was significantly higher among the subjects with lone AF compared to the healthy controls (p 30% of first-degree relatives) of AF. In patients with Brugada syndrome, the prolonged QRS duration was associated with previous symptoms. The R allele carriers in H558R variant had a trend towards less symptoms (p = 0.067) and had less conduction disturbances in 12-lead ECG than the HH genotype carriers (p < 0.05 in all ECG analysis). Among the subjects with induced Brugada ECG, 51% exhibited arrhythmic symptoms during the medical condition that had provoked the ECG pattern. In conclusion, type 2 and 3 Brugada ECGs were found to be benign in the Finnish population since no mortality occurred during an extensive follow-up period. On the other hand, these ECG abnormalities seem to be a marker of familial AF. Among patients with the Brugada syndrome, a prolongation of QRS is associated with prior symptoms. The variant H558R R allele seems to be a protecting genetic modulator. Induced Brugada ECG is a medical emergency since the patients are at high risk of sudden cardiac death.
Does subducting lithosphere weaken as it enters the lower mantle?

The boundary between the upper and lower mantles of Earth corresponds to breakdown of (Mg,Fe)2SiO4, spinel (ringwoodite), into (Mg,Fe)SiO3perovskite (pv) + (Mg,Fe)O, magnesiowüstite (mw). The rheology of these materials is important for understanding deeply subducted slabs, the termination of deep earthquakes, mantle convection, post‐glacial rebound, etc. It has been proposed that decomposition of ringwoodite as subducting slabs enter the lower mantle leads to very fine‐grained material that is inherently weak because it flows by grain‐boundary sliding. Such abrupt and great weakening would have important geophysical implications. Here we test whether products from such decomposition are weak, using a realistic analogue high‐pressure system (Co2TiO4). Our results show that spinel breakdown products are complicated intergrowths (symplectites) that flow by dislocation creep, rather than fine‐grained domains that flow by diffusion creep as is commonly assumed from very fine phase domains seen in two dimensions. Application to Earth strongly suggests that ringwoodite breakdown is likely to strengthen the slab, reflecting the inherently greater viscosity of the uppermost lower mantle revealed by geophysical measurements.
Effects of Two Agro-Ecological Zones on Leaf Chlorophyll Contents of Twelve Cassava Genotypes in Nigeria

Chlorophyll content in leaves is one of the major component in photosynthesis. Twelve cassava genotypes were evaluated in two agroecological zones (Ibadan: 25+5 C and Jos: 18+5 C), to determine the leaf chlorophyll contents at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after planting (MAP). Plants were harvested at 12 MAP for dry tuberous root yield determination. The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) in total chlorophyll contents were observed among the four environments throughout the sampling periods. Chlorophyll content at Jos plateau was significantly reduced when compared to Ibadan at all ages (3, 6, 9 and 12 MAP). The cassava leaf chlorophyll contents increased up to 6 MAP and then decreased at 9 MAP at both locations. Genotypic differences (P<0.05) were observed among the cassava genotypes for leaf chlorophyll contents in across locations. TMS 30001, TME1, TME11 and TMS 30572 produced the highest chlorophyll contents of 3.0, 3.9, 3.6 and 2.7 g/g fresh leaf tissue for 3, 6, 9 and 12 MAP respectively). At Ibadan, TMS 30001, TMS 30572 and TMS 50395 had the highest values for chlorophyll contents throughout the sampling periods, whereas in Jos plateau, TMS 30572, TME11, Danwaru and TME1 produced the highest values for leaf chlorophyll contents. The total dry tuberous root weight produced at Ibadan was significantly (P<0.05) higher than Jos plateau at 12 months after planting. Genotypic differences were observed among the genotypes either across locations or within locations for dry tuberous root weight. Genotypes TMS 91934, TMS 30572, TME1 and Danwaru performed better than other genotypes at low temperatures for dry tuberous root yield. There were correlations between chlorophyll content and dry tuberous root yield (r=0.79, n=12). The results of this study suggested that TMS 30001, TMS 30572, TME1, TME11, Danwaru and TMS 50395 had high chlorophyll content and dry tuberous root weight and these clones should be made available to farmer for planting in these locations. Also, this study indicates that cassav with high chlorophyll contents will have high tuberous root yield.
Orbital radar evidence for lunar subsurface layering in Maria Serenitatis and Crisium

Data from the lunar-orbiting Apollo 17 radar sounding experiment (60-m wavelength) have been examined in both digital and holographic formats. Surface backscatter (clutter) which masks possible radar returns originating from subsurface changes in lunar electrical properties was reduced by simultaneously comparing radar data from two orbits. Radar returns that correlate from orbit to orbit form two distinct alignments in Mare Serenitatis and one in Mare Crisium. It is proposed that these alignments represent subsurface reflecting horizons. The hypothesis is tested by showing that (1) most of the radar returns fall outside the ambiguity region of the correlation technique, (2) the results are consistent between optically and digitally processed data, (3) the signal levels of the proposed subsurface features are well above the noise floor, (4) the inferred loss tangents appear to be consistent with returned sample measurements, and (5) the discontinuous nature of the reflections most likely arises from interference effects. It is concluded that there are two subsurface radar reflectors with mean apparent depths of 0.9 km and 1.6 km below the surface in Mare Serenitatis and one reflector at a mean depth of 1.4 km below the surface in Mare Crisium. These reflectors represent basin-wide subsurface interfaces.
Pros and Cons of Adopting Water-Wise Approaches in the Lower Reaches of the Amu Darya: A Socio-Economic View

The increased frequency of water shortages parallel to growing demands for agricultural commodities in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River, Central Asia, calls for improving the system-level water use efficiency, by using interventions at the field level. Despite the existence of various best practices of effective water use (defined here as "water-wise options"), they are not widely adopted by farmers owing to high initial costs of investment and lack of the necessary knowledge and skills of a new generation of farmers after the Soviet era. For assessing the potential of several water-wise techniques, key indicators such as water use reduction rate (WURR), economic efficiency (EE), and financial viability (FV) were combined with expert surveys. A SWOT procedure was used to analyze the (dis)advantages, opportunities and constraints of adopting the selected water-wise methods. Results show that the examined options have substantial potential for increasing water use efficiency under promising EE. The various recommendations aim at improving the sustainability of irrigation water use.
Web Semantics : Science , Services and Agents on the World Wide Web

Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) is a prominent approach to query databases which uses an ontology to expose data in a conceptually clearmanner by abstracting away from the technical schema-level details of the underlying data. The ontology is ‘connected’ to the data via mappings that allow to automatically translate queries posed over the ontology into data-level queries that can be executed by the underlying database management system. Despite a lot of attention from the research community, there are still few instances of real world industrial use of OBDA systems. In this work we present data access challenges in the data-intensive petroleum company Statoil and our experience in addressing these challenges with OBDA technology. In particular, we have developed a deployment module to create ontologies and mappings from relational databases in a semi-automatic fashion; a query processing module to perform and optimise the process of translating ontological queries into data queries and their execution over either a single DB of federated DBs; and a query formulation module to support query construction for engineers with a limited IT background. Our modules have been integrated in one OBDA system, deployed at Statoil, integrated with Statoil’s infrastructure, and evaluated with Statoil’s engineers and data. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Effet des fluctuations de fractions volumiques en contexte stochastique : construction d'un modèle probabiliste et stratégie de résolution

Many materials encounter fluctuations and uncertainties on their macroscopic mechanical properties. This basically results from random fluctuations observed at a lower scale, especially at the mesoscale when microstructural uncertainties are considered. The aim of the present study is then to propose a new metholodology that allows to evaluate the impact of a randomly fluctuating volume fraction at the mesoscale of composites. In particular, the methodology of construction of the probabilistic model as well as the strategy for solving the mechanical problem are described.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres Geostationary satellite-based 6.7 μm band best water vapor information layer analysis over the Tibetan Plateau

The best water vapor information layer (BWIL) of the 6.7 μm water vapor absorption infrared (IR) band for the FengYun-2E is investigated over the Tibetan Plateau with standard atmospheric profile and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operational model analysis data. The sensitivity tests show that surface characteristics over the Tibetan Plateau have a significant influence on the BWIL. To be specific, topographic elevation, colder skin temperature, and lower emissivity tend to lift the altitude of the BWIL, decrease its magnitude, and narrow the half-width range. The results from statistical analysis indicate that the altitude of the BWIL reaches the highest in summer and the lowest in winter. Meanwhile, the altitude of the BWIL is highly correlated with the water vapor amount above 500 hPa over the Tibetan Plateau and above 300 hPa over the East China Plain, respectively. The diurnal variation in the BWIL is synchronous with the diurnal variation in the surface skin temperature. It can be concluded from the study that surface characteristics over high terrain in dry and cold atmospheres have more significant impacts on the BWIL. With multiple water vapor absorption IR bands, the imagers on board the new generation of geostationary satellites will provide crucial improvement in water vapor remote sensing over the current single water vapor band on board the FY-2 series according to the analysis in this study.
Changing the tune

Then Beth saw the boy in the Roman cloister she was seven. Among the dozen or so people strolling on the central cross of its paths or around its perimeter, he attracted her attention because he was a child alone, of about her own age, and because he appeared to be taking notes of some kind, writing them on a clipboard. Now she saw him squat to examine a sarcophagus. He ran his fingers over the surface. He stood again and wrote.
CSMAP: Cross Section Selector and Tomogram Generator

Seismic tomograms are the images of Earth’s internal characteristics that help us understand geophysical phenomena. As a website at http://csmap.jamstec. go.jp, CSMAP provides an easy way to select and view Earth’s seismic tomograms through a working web browser, acting as a graphical user interface to the underlying tomogram engine. The tomogram engine computes Earth’s cross section tomograms with a depth range from Earth’s surface to Core-Mantle Boundary (CMB) based on the seismic velocity perturbation model selected by the user from the three predefined models available in the website. Given a tomographic model and a cross section profile specified by two geocoordinates, CSMAP tells the engine to generate a tomogram. It sends the result back to the user in an HTML page, or as a PDF or Postscript file when the engine finishes computation. Written mostly in Java, CSMAP is run by Apache Tomcat on a Linux server. It works with all major web browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The user interface was designed to be simple and intuitive, yet it provides necessary help texts in tooltips and introduction pages in more details. With its small footprint on the server, CSMAP is easy to install and maintain. Since its launch on a JAMSTEC’s public server in June 2015, the site has been running constantly and reliably without any major problems. In this report, we introduce CSMAP by presenting its background, system structure, and webpage layouts and usage. The usage statistics of the site for the initial 3 months are also presented.
Interactive open access publishing and public peer review: The effectiveness of transparency and self-regulation in scientific quality assurance

The traditional forms of scientific publishing and peer review do not live up to the demands of efficient communication and quality assurance in today’s highly diverse and rapidly evolving world of science. They need to be complemented by interactive and transparent forms of review, publication, and discussion that are open to the scientific community and to the public. The advantages of open access, public peer review and interactive discussion can be efficiently and flexibly combined with the strengths of traditional publishing and peer review. Since 2001 the benefits and viability of this approach are clearly demonstrated by the highly successful interactive open access journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP, www.atmoschem-phys.net) and a growing number of sister journals launched by the publisher Copernicus (www.copernicus.org) and the European Geosciences Union (EGU, www.egu.eu). These journals are practicing a two-stage process of publication and peer review combined with interactive public discussion, which effectively resolves the dilemma between rapid scientific exchange and thorough quality assurance. The same or similar concepts have recently also been adopted in other disciplines, including the life sciences and economics. Note, however, that alternative approaches where interactive commenting and public discussion are not fully integrated with formal peer review by designated referees tend to be less successful. The principles, key aspects and achievements of interactive open access publishing (top quality and impact, efficient self-regulation and low rejection rates, little waste and low cost) are outlined and discussed.

Evaluation of Green Infrastructure Designs Using the Automated Geospatial Watershed Assessment Tool

In arid and semi-arid regions, green infrastructure (GI) designs can address several issues facing urban environments, including augmenting water supply, mitigating flooding, decreasing pollutant loads, and promoting greenness in the built environment. An optimum design captures stormwater, addressing flooding and water quality issues, in a way that increases water availability to support natural vegetation communities and landscaping in the built environment. A module was developed for the Automated Geospatial Watershed Assessment (AGWA) tool which supports the design and placement of a suite of GI practices, singularly or in combination, in order to simulate urban hydrology with and without GI features at the household and neighborhood scale.The GI tool takes advantage of the advanced, physically-based infiltration algorithms and geometric flexibility of the Kinematic Runoff and Erosion (KINEROS2) watershed model. The resulting software provides an up-to-date GISbased GI assessment framework that automatically derives model parameters from widely available spatial data. It is also capable of manipulating GI features within a graphical interface to conveniently view and compare simulation results with and without GI features at a lot, neighborhood or small catchment scale. The new tool was used to assess a variety of GI designs across a subdivision in Sierra Vista, Arizona for the design objectives: maximize stormwater capture, maximize water augmentation, and maximize ecosystem services. 229
Superselection Rules General Notion

This note provides a summary of the meaning of the term 'Superselection Rule' in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum-Field Theory. in connection with the problem of consistently assigning intrinsic parity to elementary particles. They understood an SSR as generally expressing " restrictions on the nature and scope of possible measurements ". The concept of SSR should be contrasted with that of an ordinary selection rule (SR). The latter refers to a dynamical inhibition of some transition, usually due to the existence of a conserved quantity. Well known SRs in Quantum Mechanics concern radiative transitions of atoms. For example, in case of electric dipole radiation they take the form ∆J = 0, ±1 (except J = 0 → J = 0) and ∆M J = 0, ±1. It says that the quantum numbers J, M J associated with the atom's total angular momentum may at most change by one unit. But this is only true for electric dipole transitions, which, if allowed, represent the leading-order contribution in an approximation for wavelengths much larger than the size of the atom. The next-to-leading-order contributions are given by magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transitions, and for the latter ∆J = ±2 is possible. This is a typical situation as regards SRs: They are valid for the leading-order modes of transition, but not necessarily for higher order ones. In contrast, a SSR is usually thought of as making a more rigorous statement. It not only forbids certain transitions through particular modes, but altogether as a matter of some deeper lying principle; hence the " Super ". In other words, transitions are not only inhibited for the particular dynamical evolution at hand, generated by the given Hamiltonian operator, but for all conceivable dynamical evolutions.

Do Fairness Opinion Valuations Contain Useful Information

We analyze target firm valuations disclosed in the fairness opinions of negotiated mergers between 1998 and 2005. On average, acquirer advisors exhibit a greater degree of valuation optimism than do target advisors. Top-tier advisors produce more accurate valuations than lower-tier advisors, but valuation accuracy is unrelated to the contingency structure of advisory fees. The stock price reactions to merger announcements and to the public disclosure of fairness opinions are positively related to the difference between target firm valuations contained in the fairness opinion and the merger offer price. We conclude that fairness opinions contain information not previously available to market participants.
