description: Working memory training improves performance on trained and untrained working memory tasks, but there is little consistent evidence that these gains benefit everyday tasks that rely on working memory. Evidence has shown that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) may be an effective tool for enhancing cognitive training and promoting transfer. In the first study, participants completed Cogmed working memory training with either active or sham transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS). Training was associated with substantial gains on the training activities and on transfer measures of working memory with common processing and storage demands to the training tasks. tRNS did not enhance gains on trained or untrained activities. The second study systematically investigated the boundary conditions to training transfer by testing whether gains following backward digit recall (BDR) training transferred within- and across-paradigm to untrained backward recall and n-back tasks with varying degrees of overlap with the training activity. A further aim was to test whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) enhanced training and transfer. Participants were allocated to one of three conditions: (i) BDR training with active tDCS, (ii) BDR training with sham tDCS, or (iii) visual search control training with sham tDCS. The results indicated that training transfer is constrained by paradigm, but not by stimuli domain or stimuli materials. There was no evidence that tDCS enhanced performance on the training or transfer tasks. The results of Study 1 and Study 2 provide no evidence that tES enhances the benefits of working memory training. The absence of transfer between backward recall training and n-back in Study 2 suggested the tasks might tap into distinct aspects of working memory. Consequently, the final study used a latent variable approach to explore the degree of overlap between different forms of backward recall and n-back tasks containing digits, letters, or spatial locations as stimuli. The best-fitting factor model included two distinct but related (r = .68) constructs corresponding to backward recall and n-back. Both categories of task were linked to a separate fluid reasoning construct, providing evidence that both are valid measures of higher-order complex cognition. Overall, the experiments in this thesis suggest that working memory tasks tap into separate processes and that training may be targeting and improving these distinct processes, explaining the absence of cross-paradigm transfer.

description: Closed supply chain is a superior form of management model of chain supply and an effective means of improving the modernization of agro-product circulation. Based on the research results of the current literatures on supply chain risk and agro-product supply chain, related subjects of the agro-product closed supply chain involving production, management and consumption are studied and analyzed and the primary risking factors in the supply chain system are classified as environmental risk, system risk, information risk, management risk and quality risk . Risk of agro-product closed supply chain is evaluated by using the method of furry comprehensive evaluation and the values are acquired. The result shows that risk of agro-product closed supply chain is moderate with relatively high risk, which basically accords with the present actual situations. It can be seen from the index weights of various levels that the key first-level indices influencing the risks are system risk, information risk, quality and safety risk and the key second-level are the coordinating and controlling ability of core enterprises, the implementation of information traceability and the construction of quality safety system. Therefore, risk of agro-product closed supply chain should be reduced by taking prevention and controlling measures mainly from these aspects.

 Petruca Shih, Ng & Christy, 2015: 476. Type species: Gelasimus panamensis Stimpson, 1859, by original designation. Gender feminine.
 Diagnosis. Medium-sized species (carapace width about 15 mm in adults); carapace widest between tips of anterolateral angles; dorsal carapace surface almost flat, smooth, with posterolateral striae; front broad; cornea round; eyestalks slender; orbital floor with spinous tubercle near inner corner; adult male major cheliped very large, right- or left-handed, pollex without ventral carina, major chela smooth in inner or outer surfaces, with posterior extension of manus; tips of minor fingers of both sexes with brush of long setae; male pleonites free; pleonal locking mechanism absent; gastric mill with 2 large brownish setae at base of posterior tooth plate. Confined to the East Pacific coasts of the Americas.
 Species included:
 Petruca panamensis (Stimpson, 1859).
 Remarks. Gelasimus panamensis Stimpson, 1859, has been placed either in Minuca or Leptuca, but Shih et al. (2015) established a new subgenus for it based on a number of unusual characters, e.g., the relatively flat dorsal carapace surface, the posterior extension of the major manus, the smooth inner and outer surfaces of the major chela, the brush of long stiff setae on the finger tips of the minor cheliped, the armature at the inner corner of the orbital floor, and the characteristic urocardiac ossicles of the gastric mill. In addition, its ecology and behavior are peculiar for fiddler crabs, e.g. lives on cobble beaches rather than sandy-muddy substrates, has no deep or permanent burrows, and swallow food particles directly (see Shih et al., 2015). The distribution is limited to the Pacific side of Central America and northern South America (Fig. 4).

description: Input subsidies are the single greatest expenditure under poverty reduction programs in Zambia. Yet maize yields continue to fall well short of international standards. One major reason appears to be the yield limiting effects of acidity, which is highly common on Zambian soils. We suggest a diversification of the input subsidy scheme beyond fertilizer to include inputs that reduce acidity and raise the yield response to fertilizer application. We further discuss specific recommendations for diversifying productivity investments to put more emphasis on extension and agronomic research.

description: Granular material on an inclined plane will flow like a fluid if the angle $θ$ the plane makes with the horizontal is large enough. We employ a modification of a hydrodynamic model introduced previously to describe Couette flow experiments to describe chute flow down a plane. In this geometry, our model predicts a jammed-to-flowing transition as $θ$ is increased even though it does not include solid friction, which might seem necessary to stabilize a state without flow. The transition is driven by coupling between mean and fluctuating velocity. In agreement with experiments and simulations, it predicts flow for layers with a thickness H larger than a critical value $H_{\rm stop}(θ)$ and absence of flow for $H

description: The NPDGamma experiment measures the asymmetry in $γ$-ray emission in the capture of polarized neutrons on liquid parahydrogen. The beam polarization is measured using $^3$He spin analysis, but this measurement does not account for the contribution of depolarization from spin-flip scattering primarily due to orthohydrogen in the bulk liquid. This is a systematic effect that dilutes the experimental asymmetry and is modeled using Monte Carlo. Methods for tracking neutron spin in MCNPX were developed in order to calculate the average neutron polarization upon capture for use as a multiplicative correction to the measured beam polarization for the NPDGamma experiment.

description: Mercury released into the atmosphere from coal combustion is harmful to humans and the environment. Rice husk gasification char (RHGC) is an industrial waste of biomass gasification power generation, which is silver-loaded to develop a novel and efficient sorbent for mercury removal from simulated flue gas. The experiment was carried out in a fixed bed experimental system. The Hg0 adsorption performance of RHGC was improved significantly after loading silver. Hg0 adsorption capacity and mercury inlet concentration were found to be nonlinear. The adsorption capacity of RHGC decreased with the increase of reaction temperature. SO2 inhibited mercury removal, NO and HCl promoted mercury removal; the Hg0 adsorption capacity in the simulated flue gas was higher than that in pure N2. The silver-loaded rice husk gasification char (SRHGC) could be recycled for about five times without significantly losing its removal efficiency. The SRHGC will not only reduce the cost of mercury removal but also save energy and reduce environmental pollution, at the same time, it provides a new way for the resource utilization of RHGC.

 Xeruca Shih, 2015: 154. Type species: Uca formosensis Rathbun, 1921, by original designation. Gender feminine.
 Diagnosis. Large-sized species (carapace width about 30 mm in adults); dorsal carapace surface without posterolateral striae; front narrow; cornea round; eyestalks slender; adult male major cheliped very large; right- or left-handed, deep fingers (with straight cutting margins>1/2 length of fingers), pollex without ventral carina, outer surface of major manus with moderate-szied to large tubercles, carpus with anterodorsal area flattened to facilitate chela flexion, setae on merus of minor cheliped long, thin; male pleonites free; pleonal locking mechanism absent; no setae on lateral margins of posterior stem region of urocardiac ossicles in gastric mill. Taiwan endemic.
 Species included:
 Xeruca formosensis (Rathbun, 1921).
 Remarks. Although Rathbun described this large endemic Taiwanese species in Rathbun (1921), it was not well known until the work of Shih et al. (1999). Crane (1975) placed it with U. tetragonon and the U. vocans species-complex, in Thalassuca (= Gelasimus), although she had examined only a few specimens. Shih et al. (1999) suggested that it was closely related to Tubuca, but cautioned that more study was needed to confirm its status. Shih (2015) recently established a separate taxon Xeruca for this species based on morphological (see Rosenberg, 2001) and molecular evidence. The present work (Fig. 2) and Shih (2015) show Xeruca to be basal to the main Tubuca clade which confirms earlier relationship speculation (Crane, 1975; Shih et al., 1999; Rosenberg, 2001). The monotypic Xeruca is confined to Taiwan Island and the adjacent Penghu Islands, and thus has the smallest distribution of any genus in the Ocypodidae (Fig. 4).

description: We constrain the rotational kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (rkSZ) effect in Planck data using a sample of rotating galaxy clusters identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We extract cluster-centered cutouts from Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps that have been cleaned of thermal SZ signal. Using previous constraints on the cluster rotation vectors determined from the motions of galaxies, we fit for the amplitude of the rkSZ effect in the CMB cutouts, marginalizing over parameters describing the cluster electron distribution. We also employ an alternative, less model-dependent approach to measuring the rkSZ signal that involves measuring the dipole induced by the rkSZ in rotation velocity-oriented CMB stacks. In both cases, we find roughly $2σ$ evidence for a rkSZ signal consistent with the expected amplitude and morphology. We comment on future directions for measurements of the rkSZ signal.

description: We explore an alternative to twist averaging in order to obtain more cost-effective and accurate extrapolations to the thermodynamic limit (TDL) for coupled cluster doubles (CCD) calculations. We seek a single twist angle to perform calculations at, instead of integrating over many random points or a grid. We introduce the concept of connectivity, a quantity derived from the non-zero four-index integrals in an MP2 calculation. This allows us to find a special twist angle that provides appropriate connectivity in the energy equation, and which yields results comparable to full twist averaging. This special twist angle effectively makes the finite electron number CCD calculation represent the TDL more accurately, reducing the cost of twist-averaged CCD over $N_\mathrm{s}$ twist angles from $N_s$ CCD calculations to $N_s$ MP2 calculations plus one CCD calculation.

description: A class of growth functions $u$ is introduced to construct Hida distributions and test functions. The Legendre transform $\ell_{u}$ of $u$ is used to define a sequence $\a(n)=(\ell_{u}(n) n!)^{-1}, n\geq 0$, of positive numbers. From this sequence we get a CKS-space. Under various conditions on $u$ we show that the associated sequence $\{\a(n)\}$ satisfies those conditions for carrying out the white noise distribution theory on the CKS-space. We show that $u$ and its dual Legendre transform $u^{*}$ are growth functions for test and generalized functions, respectively, in the characterization theorems.

description: The NPDGamma experiment measures the parity-violating asymmetry in $γ$-ray emission in the capture of polarized neutrons on liquid parahydrogen. The sensitivity to the asymmetry for each detector in the array is used as a parameter in the extraction of the physics asymmetry from the measured data. The detector array is approximately cylindrically symmetric around the target and a step-wise sinusoidal function has been used for the sensitivity in the previous iteration of the NPDGamma experiment, but deviations from cylindrical symmetry necessitate the use of a Monte Carlo model to determine corrections to the geometrical factors. For the calculations, source code modifications to MCNPX were done in order to calculate the sensitivity of each cesium iodide detector to the physics asymmetry. We describe the MCNPX model and results from calculations and how the results are validated through measurement of the parity violating asymmetry of $γ$-rays from neutron capture on chlorine.

description: The effect on the nematic to smectic-A transition in octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) due to dispersions of hydrogen-bonded silica (aerosil) particles is characterized with high-resolution x-ray scattering. The particles form weak gels in 8CB creating a quenched disorder that replaces the transition with the growth of short range smectic correlations. The correlations include thermal critical fluctuations that dominate at high temperatures and a second contribution that quantitatively matches the static fluctuations of a random field system and becomes important at low temperatures.

description: A direct relation between two types of topological field theories, Chern-Simons theory and BF theory, is presented by using ``Generalized Differential Calculus'', which extends an ordinary p-form to an ordered pair of p and (p+1)-form. We first establish the generalized Chern-Weil homomormism for generalized curvature invariant polynomials in general even dimensional manifolds, and then show that BF gauge theory can be obtained from the action which is the generalized second Chern class with gauge group G. Particularly when G is taken as SL(2,C) in four dimensions, general relativity with cosmological constant can be derived by constraining the topological BF theory.

description: Recreational horseback riding is an important but less studied component of the equine industry. Using choice experiment data collected from a survey conducted in Kentucky, this study assesses rider preferences and economic values associated with various equestrian trail characteristics. Results indicate that although individuals have different opinions, trail characteristics such as length of trail, scenic views, and distance from home all have significant economic implications. In addition, riders prefer trails that are restricted for horse-riding only. Policy implications on maintaining current and creating new trails are given based on these results.

description: We construct a large halo K-giant sample by combining the positions, distances, radial velocities, and metallicities of over 13,000 LAMOST DR5 halo K giants with the Gaia DR2 proper motions, which covers a Galactocentric distance range of 5-120 kpc. Using a position-velocity clustering estimator (the 6Distance), we statistically quantify the presence of position-velocity substructure at high significance: K giants have more close pairs in position-velocity space than a smooth stellar halo. We find that the amount of substructure in the halo increases with increasing distance and metallicity. With a percolation algorithm named friends-of-friends (FoF) to identify groups, we identify members belonging to Sagittarius (Sgr) Streams, Monoceros Ring, Virgo overdensity, Hercules-Aquila Cloud, Orphan Streams and other unknown substructures and find that the Sgr streams account for a large part of grouped stars beyond 20 kpc and enhance the increase of substructure with distance and metallicity. For the first time, we identify spectroscopic members of Monoceros Ring in the south and north Galactic hemisphere, which presents a rotation of about 185 km s^{-1} and mean metallicity is -0.66 dex.

description: The Trump administration has quickly rescinded some of the limited protections made available to some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people–for example employment protections for LGBT federal employees–and has doubled down on a military agenda–proposing increased federal funds to the military. This political moment–a more nakedly visible endorsement of structures of oppression–falls on the heels of the neoliberal ‘gay-friendly’ military-lite Obama regime. Building on eight years of participatory observation in counter-recruitment movements and community mobilizations against the militarization of public schools, and participation in concurrent queer justice movements, this essay engages policy analysis and archival work, to map struggles against the military industrial complex (MIC) in schools against and with LGBTQ justice movements, offering meditations on failure, persistence, public education, and approaching organizing queerly.

description: We present a combination of theoretical calculations and experiments for the low-lying vibrational excitations of H and D atoms adsorbed on the Pt(111) surface. The vibrational band states are calculated based on the full three-dimensional adiabatic potential energy surface obtained from first principles calculations. For coverages less than three quarters of a monolayer, the observed experimental high-resolution electron peaks at 31 and 68meV are in excellent agreement with the theoretical transitions between selected bands. Our results convincingly demonstrate the need to go beyond the local harmonic oscillator picture to understand the dynamics of this system.

A Systems Approach to Climate Change Impacts on Livestock Production

Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: Livestock production is doubly impacted by climate change — it both contributes to the phenomenon and must adjust to its consequences. Whilst adaptation is being achieved, the true mitigation potential for livestock production is yet to be quantified. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that demand for animal products is escalating quickly, especially in developing and transitional economies. The sector is also subject of considerable biological variability, meaning that the industry does not fit easily into carbon trading schemes. Any response to climate change will need to consider changes in productivity to reduce emissions per animal; changes in consumption to restrict the total animal population; and policy or regulation changes as governments make difficult decisions on mitigation targets. There is a need to improve the reliability and applicability of regional impact models, to enable a system-wide assessment of climate change effects. Similarly significant gaps exist in our knowledge of the basic biology of animals, and especially the rumen. In the absence of new information for research, progress to reduce the current and projected impacts of livestock production will be slow.
Inferring Catchment in Internet Routing

description: BGP is the de-facto Internet routing protocol for exchanging prefix reachability information between Autonomous Systems (AS). It is a dynamic, distributed, path-vector protocol that enables rich expressions of network policies (typically treated as secrets). In this regime, where complexity is interwoven with information hiding, answering questions such as "what is the expected catchment of the anycast sites of a content provider on the AS-level, if new sites are deployed?", or "how will load-balancing behave if an ISP changes its routing policy for a prefix?", is a hard challenge. In this work, we present a formal model and methodology that takes into account policy-based routing and topological properties of the Internet graph, to predict the routing behavior of networks. We design algorithms that provide new capabilities for informative route inference (e.g., isolating the effect of randomness that is present in prior simulation-based approaches). We analyze the properties of these inference algorithms, and evaluate them using publicly available routing datasets and real-world experiments. The proposed framework can be useful in a number of applications: measurements, traffic engineering, network planning, Internet routing models, etc. As a use case, we study the problem of selecting a set of measurement vantage points to maximize route inference. Our methodology is general and can capture standard valley-free routing, as well as more complex topological and routing setups appearing in practice.

description: ZnNi alloy coating is commonly used to enhance the corrosion resistance of steel. The percentage of Ni should be maintained between 12% and 14% in the coating for best corrosion performance. The response surface design (RSD), polynomial regression (PR), support vector regression (SVR), XGBoost regression (XGB), K-nearest neighbours regression and Gaussian process regression (GP) algorithms have been used to predict the ZnNi alloy coating thickness and Ni % amount in the coating. As statistical indices mean square error (MSE) and correlation coefficient (R2) were used to compare the models. The results of the analysis show that the XGB algorithm gives the best estimation for both ZnNi thickness and Ni%. A high correlation was observed between the predicted values and experimental results. R2 values of 0.87 and 0.81 were acquired for ZnNi thickness and Ni %, respectively, using the XGB algorithm. This study has proved that the machine learning algorithm is a promising method to predict the ZnNi coating thickness and Ni % in the alloy based on the composition of the ZnNi electroplating bath.

Impacts on Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture

description: Over the last two hundred years the impact of industrial-scale fishing on fish stocks and their sustainability has been recognised and sought to be addressed or managed. This impact has resulted in some stocks collapsing, many being exploited at maximum or non–sustainable levels, with a subsequent increased focus on aquaculture as a source of fish protein to meet the demands of growing populations and economies. It is now recognised that these enterprises are also subject to the additional influences of climate change. Due to the coastal and high seas nature of our fisheries, the complexity and diversity of riparian, coastal and oceanic systems, habitats and populations, the perceived impacts from climate change on fisheries and aquaculture are less defined than in other industrial and community areas. Climate change induced impacts are anticipated to deliver both adverse and in some cases positive effects on fisheries and aquaculture. Potential adverse impacts include detrimental changes in oceanic physio-chemical characteristics (e.g. O2, temperature, salinity, total inorganic carbon content and acidification) and key oceanic circulation systems, declines in production potential of traditional species, abundance changes and altered trophic/ecosystem relationships, disturbance of reproductive patterns and migratory routes, increased vulnerability to diseases and pests, increased extreme weather events (e.g. storm surges and cyclones) and the provision of a competitive advantage for lower-valued and invasive species. Adverse impacts also include decreased community (industrial and artisan) economic benefit, the additional cost of relocation and relocation of production system and coastal infrastructure, and the recognised vulnerability of coastal and low-lying island nations to rising sea levels. Positive impacts include the potential for increased coastal nutrients and productivity from more intense upwelling systems, increased growth rates and extended growing seasons, increased competitiveness of high-valued less abundant and new profitable species, and climate change driven improvements in production systems, infrastructure and resource management strategies. The critical challenge for the world’s fisheries and aquaculture is to ensure they effectively contribute to the global response to address the causes of climate change, whilst embracing and adapting to opportunities that future change delivers.
