description: First-principles density functional calculations are performed within the local density approximation to study the electronic properties of SrZrO$_3$, an insulating 4d-perovskite, in its high-temperature cubic phase, above 1400 K, as well as the generic 3d-perovskite SrTiO$_3$, which is also a d^0-insulator and cubic above 105 K, for comparison reasons. The energy bands, density of states and charge density distributions are obtained and a detailed comparison between their band structures is presented. The results are discussed also in terms of the existing data in the literature for both oxides.

description: As multicellular organisms grow, spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression are strictly regulated to ensure that developmental programs are invoked at appropriate stages. In this work, we describe a putative transcriptional regulator in Arabidopsis, TACO LEAF (TCO), whose overexpression results in the ectopic activation of reproductive genes during vegetative growth. Isolated as an activation-tagged allele, tco-1D displays gene misexpression and phenotypic abnormalities, such as curled leaves and early flowering, characteristic of chromatin regulatory mutants. A role for TCO in this mode of transcriptional regulation is further supported by the subnuclear accumulation patterns of TCO protein and genetic interactions between tco-1D and chromatin modifier mutants. The endogenous expression pattern of TCO and gene misregulation in tco loss-of-function mutants indicate that this factor is involved in seed development. We also demonstrate that specific serine residues of TCO protein are targeted by the ubiquitous kinase CK2. Collectively, these results identify TCO as a novel regulator of gene expression whose activity is likely influenced by phosphorylation, as is the case with many chromatin regulators.

description: The main challenge for agricultural economists is effectiveness rather than efficiency. Effectiveness is the channeling of resources and efforts to those endeavours rendering the highest returns. Efficiency is the extent lo which it is done well. Agricultural economists should be system directed problem solvers. Failures to clearly recognize interactions between levels or activities in the total system cause expensive problems. Effectiveness requires such recognition aimed at improving human welfare. Grave inequitahilities occur in South African agriculture and food consumption. Production and consumption are both dualistic, without agricultural economists analyzing inequitabilities meaningfully. They have been effective neither in dealing with problems of commercial agriculture nor with the macro environment in a holistic sense, nor with institutions, nor with consumption economics. The already low effectiveness has been further decreased by some tool-oriented research. In South Africa, effectiveness implies more accent on problem-solving analysis: adaptive and maintenance research. Efficiency requires use of appropriate logic, analytical tools and data. It has lately been lowered by overemphasis on so-called elegant analytical tools and simultaneously, neglect in proper data collection. A reorientation is needed in this respect.

description: Rabi flopping between Bloch bands induced by a weak ac resonant field is a coherent effect involving interband transitions. Here we consider the fundamental processes of emission/absorption of quanta and Rabi oscillations in non-Hermitian two-band lattices exhibiting unbalanced non-Hermitian skin effect, and unveil an unprecedented scenario of Rabi flopping. The effective dipole moment of the transition - usually considered a bulk property - is however strongly dependent on boundary conditions, being greatly enhanced with increased Rabi frequency only when open boundaries are present. As the field strength is increased, Rabi oscillations rapidly become anharmonic, and transitions cease to be vertical in the energy-momentum plane until the system enters into an unstable regime (complex quasi-energy spectrum) due to secular amplification channels. Remaining stable even in the presence of complex energies, Rabi oscillations provide a vivid illustration of how the competition between non-Hermitian, non-local and Floquet influences can result in significant enhancements of physically measurable quantities.

description: The magnetic moment induced by an external magnetic field of 5.8 T on the Co3+ ions in LaCoO3 has been measured by polarized neutron diffraction. Measurements were made at 100 K, near to the spin-state transition, at 1.5 K and at 285 K. The data give evidence for a transition from the ground singlet state (S = 0) to the excited triplet intermediate spin state (S = 1). The energy of K estimated for the high-spin (S = 2) state, is too high to contribute significantly even at T = 285 K. There is evidence for a small negative covalent spin density associated with the oxygen ligands amounting to about one fifth of the aligned Co3+ moment at all three temperatures.

description: This is the seventh In Brief in a series presenting findings from a multi-year study of sorcery accusation-related violence (SARV) in Papua New Guinea (PNG). This In Brief reports on the various dimensions of harm that SARV creates for individuals, their families, their community and the nation. The research covers the four provinces of Enga, Bougainville, National Capital District (NCD) and Jiwaka, where quantitative data was collected over a four-and-a-half-year period (January 20161–June 2020). During this time, 298 incidents of violent accusations were recorded involving 546 victims. Of these victims, 65 were killed, 86 suffered permanent injury2 and 141 survived other serious harm, such as burning, cutting, tying or being forced into water. In total, we recorded 318 people having either died or survived serious harm as a result of SARV.

description: The purpose of this article is to use generalised dominance as criterion to evaluate the risk-efficiency of irrigation scheduling strategies for wheat in the area below the P.K le Roux Dam. Wheat yields for five irrigation scheduling strategics, differing in respect of sophistication, were simulated for eleven years by means of the PUTU9-87 model on soils with profile available water capacities of 45,100 and 160 mm. The annual fixed and variable irrigation costs of a 60-hectare centre pivot with a gross application capacity of 12 mm per day and a static pumping height of 10 metres on sandy and clay soils were estimated by means of a computer programme. Generalised stochastic dominance was used as criterion to select risk-efficient irrigation scheduling strategies for wheat. Robinson's computer programme was used for the analyses. On an enterprise level it was found that decision-makers who fall into different categories of risk sensitivity differ in respect of the choice of irrigation scheduling strategy which maximises their particular preferences. In general, a riskaversive farmer prefers a scheduling strategy that applies more water more quickly, in contrast to a risk-seeking farmer.

title: The Effects of Diatom Oxylipin 2-Trans-4-Trans Decadienal on Gene Expression During Development and Growth of the Tunicate Ciona intestinalis
Creators: name: Lettieri, Anna
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Diatoms, a major class of unicellular photosynthetic algae, have traditionally been considered as principal components of planktonic crustacean copepod diets, enhancing their fecundity and development. This idea largely persisted until 1993 when a world-wide group of researchers reported what is now known as the "diatom-copepod paradox" (Ban et al, 1997). Although copepods consume diatoms to a large extent, they are not an optimal food for copepod growth, because their consumption leads to longer generation times and increased mortality rates in the offspring (Ianora et al., 2004; Poulet et al., 1994).

The anti-proliferative effect of diatoms on copepod reproduction is caused by the presence of antimitotic compounds, which reduce egg viability in copepods by blocking mitotic divisions during embryogenesis (Poulet et al., 1994). These inhibitory effects are correlated to the production of polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUAs) (Miralto et al., 1999; d'Ippolito et al., 2002a; Ianora et al., 2004), which are produced by diatoms in response to physical damage as occurs during copepod grazing (Pohnert, 2000).

PUAs have been demonstrated to have similar effects on benthic invertebrates such as polychaetes (Caldwell, 2005), sea urchins (Romano et al, 2010) and tunicates (Tosti et al., 2003). In these organisms PUAs induce the disruption of gametogenesis, gamete functionality, fertilization, embryonic mitosis, and larval fitness and competence (reviewed by Caldwell, 2009). The cell targets of these compounds, however, remains largely unknown.

The aim of this thesis was to identify, on a large scale, the genes targeted by the diatom PUA 2-trans-4-trans-decadienal (DD) using the tunicate Ciona intestinalis. The tools, techniques and genomic resources available for Ciona, as well as the suitability of Ciona embryos for medium-to high-throughput strategies, are key to their employment as model organisms in different fields, including the investigation of toxic agents that could interfere with developmental processes. Here it is demonstrated that DD can induce developmental aberration in Ciona larvae in a dose dependent manner. Moreover, through a preliminary analysis of microarray experiments, DD is demonstrated to affect the expression level of genes involved in stress response, developmental processes and cell adhesion.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Shock breakout (SBO) signal is the first signature of the supernova explosion apart from gravitational waves and neutrinos. Observational properties of SBO, such as bolometric luminosity and colour temperature, connect to the supernova progenitor and explosion parameters. Detecting SBO or SBO-cooling will constrain the progenitor and explosion models of collapsing stars. In the light of recently launched eROSITA telescope, the rate for detection of SBO is a few events during a year. In the current study, we examine the analytic formulae derived by Shussman et al. (2016). We use four red supergiant models from their study, while running explosions with the radiation hydrodynamics code STELLA. We conclude that there is a good agreement between analytic and numerical approaches for bolometric luminosity and colour temperature during SBO. The analytic formulae for the SBO signal based on the global supernova parameters can be used instead of running time-consuming numerical simulations. We define spectral range where analytic formulae for the SBO spectra are valid. We provide improved analytical expression for the SBO spectral energy distribution. We confirm dependence of colour temperature on radius derived by analytical studies and suggest to use early time observations to confine the progenitor radius. Additionally we show the prediction for the SBO signal from red supergiants as seen by eROSITA instrument.

description: The average age of tractors in use in the RSA have increased considerably the past couple of years and quite a number of tractors arc al ready too old for effective functioning. The factors that farmers do take into account when they consider t ractor replacement arc analysed and compared with factors that determine optimality of tractor replacement. Although farmers have become reluctant to replace tractors, when they do consider replacement, the most relevant factors are considered. Various models are available for replacement decisions of which two are especially suitable for the development of decision support systems namely multiperiod integer programming and uniform cost models. An interactive representation of the uniform cost model is given. Although this user-specific model is developed for advice to individual farmers an average tractor replacement age of 10 years was obtained in a normative study. This replacement age is higher than the age normally obtained with traditional accounting procedures and can be ascribed to the inclusion of the so called "challenger" in the uniform cost model.

description: We develop a general gauge invariant construction of the one-loop effective action for supersymmetric gauge field theories formulated in ${\cal N}=1/2$ superspace. Using manifestly covariant techniques (the background superfield method and proper-time representations) adopted to the ${\cal N}=1/2$ superspace we show how to define unambiguously the effective action of a matter multiplet (in fundamental and adjoint representations) and the vector multiplet coupled to a background ${\cal N}=1/2$ gauge superfield. As an application of this construction we exactly calculate the low-energy one-loop effective action of matter multiplet and SU(2) SYM theory on the Abelian background.

description: Despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the existential threat of climate change for small island developing states (SIDS) remains. This has made SIDS step up in climate meetings to promote a green post-COVID-19 recovery agenda to ensure climate action remains at the forefront of international policymaking. International collective action has often been challenged by larger players’ independent policy preferences despite what has been prescribed in climate conventions. However, SIDS have for decades collectively influenced international decisions, notably through the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), by highlighting their unique vulnerabilities and the need for international collective action to curb climate change. As the pandemic has progressed, AOSIS members have continued their international advocacy to focus on climate action along with governments’ COVID-19 recovery planning.

description: Strong interaction between light and matter waves, such as electron beams in electron microscopes, has recently emerged as a new tool for understanding entanglement. Here, we systematically investigate electron-light interactions from first principles. We show that enhanced coupling can be achieved for systems involving slow electron wavepackets interacting with plasmonic nanoparticles, due to simultaneous classical recoil and quantum mechanical photon absorption and emission processes. For slow electrons with longitudinal broadenings longer than the dimensions of nanoparticles, phase-matching between slow electrons and plasmonic oscillations is manifested as an additional degree of freedom to control the strength of coupling. Our findings pave the way towards a systematic and realistic understanding of electron-light interactions beyond adiabatic approximations, and lay the ground for realization of entangled electron-photon systems and Boson-sampling devices involving light and matter waves.

description: Mixed Finite Elements (FEs) with assumed stresses and displacements provide many advantages in analysing shell structures. They ensure good results for coarse meshes and provide an accurate representation of the stress field. The shell FEs within the family designated by the acronym Mixed Isostatic Self-equilibrated Stresses (MISS) have demonstrated high performance in linear and nonlinear problems thanks to a self-equilibrated stress assumption. This article extends the MISS family by introducing an eight nodes solid-shell FE for the analysis of geometrically nonlinear structures. The element, named MISS-4S, features 24 displacement variables and an isostatic stress representation ruled by 18 parameters. The displacement field is described only by translations, eliminating the need for complex finite rotation treatments in large displacements problems. A total Lagrangian formulation is adopted with the Green–Lagrange strain tensor and the second Piola–Kirchhoff stress tensor. The numerical results concerning popular shell obstacle courses prove the accuracy and robustness of the proposed formulation when using regular or distorted meshes and demonstrate the absence of any locking phenomena. Finally, convergences for pointwise and energy quantities show the superior performance of MISS-4S compared to other elements in the literature, highlighting that an isostatic and self-equilibrated stress representation, already used in shell models, also gives advantages for solid-shell FEs.

description: Employing two-dimensional (2D) materials as anodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is believed to be an effective approach to meet the growing demands of high-capacity next-generation LIBs. In this work, the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to evaluate the potential application of two-dimensional phosphorus carbide (2D PCx, x=2, 5, and 6) monolayers as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The 2D PCx systems are predicted to show outstanding structural stability and electronic properties. From the nudge elastic band calculations, the Li atoms show extreme high diffusivities on the PCx monolayer with low energy barriers of 0.18 eV for PC2, 0.47 eV for PC5, and 0.44 eV for PC6. We further demonstrate that the theoretical specific capacity of monolayer PC5 and PC6 can reach up to 1251.7 and 1235.9 mAh g-1, respectively, several times that of graphite anode used in commercial LIBs. These results suggest that both PC5 and PC6 monolayer are promising anode materials for LIBs. Our work opens a new avenue to explore novel 2D materials in energy applications, where phosphorus carbides could be used as high-performance anode in LIBs.

description: Following world wide trends, closer integration of agriculture into the macroeconomy has exposed farmers to the effects of changes in interest rates, exchange rates and prices that are associated with changes in monetary policy. In South Africa, farmers are faced with persistently high innation, nuctuating interest rates and declining rand exchange rate. A general equilibrium simultaneous equation model was constructed to analyse the impacts of monetary policy on South African agriculture. Annual data (1960-1987) were used to estimate equations representing the field crop, horticultural, livestock and manufacturing sectors, and the money and foreign exchange markets. The interest, innation, and exchange rates were determined endogenously and key macrolinkages whereby the impacts of monetary policy are transmitted to agriculture were simulated. Due to insufficient degrees of freedom, the model was estimated by two-stage principal components. The estimated model was used to simulate the dynamic impacts of an expansionary monetary policy on agriculture. In the short run. this causes the real interest rate to fall, exchange rate lo depreciate, and general level of prices to rise. Depreciation of the exd1ange rate and higher domestic innation raise input prices. Increased cost effects of higher input prices outweigh the reduced cost effects of lower real interest rates causing real field crop and horticultural supply to decrease. Increased stock effects of lower real interest rates and increased cost effects of higher input costs impact negatively on livestock supply. The resultant decrease in agricultural supply causes commodity prices to rise which lowers real demand for agricultural products. The net effect is a decline in real agricultural income for the sectors modeled.

description: We report on the low-temperature magnetic ac-susceptibility of antiferromagnetic DyPO4 nanoparticles with a very high surface to volume ratio. The results are interpreted in terms of superparamagnetic relaxation of the Neel vector arising from a relatively large number approx 0.2 Na of uncompensated spins probably existing on the surface of the nanoparticles. The activation energy of the relaxation process is found to be Ea / kB = (2.6+-0.1) K within a model taking into account the magnetic interaction between nanoparticles.

description: The World Bank has expressed concern over high population growth rates in sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa's annual population growth rate in the traditional sector is 3,5%. This study identifies economic factors affecting family size choice to provide policy makers with a strategy for reducing fertility. A neoclassical utility framework was used to analyse linkages between family size decisions and socio-economic variables. Household utility for "child services" and "standard of living" was maximised subject to the resource constraints of time, labour and income. A demand curve for children was specified within a simultaneous model of family decision making. A stratified sampling technique was used to collect household data from Ulundi and Ubombo in KwaZulu. One hundred and seventy five women in three equal occupational strata were interviewed. The simultaneous model was estimated by two-stage least squares regression analysis. Dummy dependent variables were estimated by probit analysis. Child education, women's opportunity cost of time and formal market participation were negatively related to fertility, rcnecting substitution from numbers of children (time intensive goods) to fewer, more educated children(less time intensive) as opportunity costs rise. Child labour was positively related to fertility. Strategics to reduce population growth rates should therefore include improvements in women's education and employment opportunities to raise their time costs, and time saving devices to reduce demand for child labour.
Cosmic Ray Acceleration at Relativistic Shock Waves with a "Realistic" Magnetic Field Structure

description: The process of cosmic ray first-order Fermi acceleration at relativistic shock waves is studied with the method of Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations are based on numerical integration of particle equations of motion in a turbulent magnetic field near the shock. In comparison to earlier studies, a few "realistic" features of the magnetic field structure are included. The upstream field consists of a mean field component inclined at some angle to the shock normal with finite-amplitude sinusoidal perturbations imposed upon it. The perturbations are assumed to be static in the local plasma rest frame. Their flat or Kolmogorov spectra are constructed with randomly drawn wave vectors from a wide range $(k_{min}, k_{max})$. The downstream field structure is derived from the upstream one as compressed at the shock. We present particle spectra and angular distributions obtained at mildly relativistic sub- and superluminal shocks and also parallel shocks. We show that particle spectra diverge from a simple power-law, the exact shape of the spectrum depends on both the amplitude of the magnetic field perturbations and the wave power spectrum. Features such as spectrum hardening before the cut-off at oblique subluminal shocks and formation of power-law tails at superluminal ones are presented and discussed. At parallel shocks, the presence of finite-amplitude magnetic field perturbations leads to the formation of locally oblique field configurations at the shock and the respective magnetic field compressions. This results in the modification of the particle acceleration process, introducing some features present in oblique shocks, e.g., particle reflections from the shock. We demonstrate for parallel shocks a (nonmonotonic) variation of the particle spectral index with the turbulence amplitude.

description: In this article the interval approach to measuring risk attitudes is discussed. The concept of generalised stochastic dominance (stochastic dominance with respect to a function) is used in the interval approach developed by King to elicit the risk attitudes of farmers at five different after tax net income levels. The risk attitude of 52 farmers in the Western and Southern Cape were elicited at two different points in time, Risk averse, risk seeking and risk indifferent attitudes were observed. The degree of intertemporal stability in risk attitudes varied between the specified income levels. There seems to be a negative relationship between the accuracy of the risk interval on the one hand and the consistency of choice on the other hand. The response to two control questions indicated a varying degree of consistency at each income level.

description: Prices arc the signals for production, consumption and policy formation. Producer prices arc volatile and a considerable amount of variation exists over the short, medium and long term, but there are also, however, stable price variation patterns. Producers and policy makers can use these price cycles to adopt efficient production and marketing policy strategies. This research was aimed at identifying, isolating and estimating seasonal, cyclic and trend components of beef prices for the Witwatersrand controlled market. The traditional decomposition approach in combination with analysis of variance and regression techniques were used. Statistical significant typical price components were isolated and estimated for all grades and super prices. These components were used to create static forecasts in order to predict a general change in the movement of prices. Although this research was primarily aimed at the identification and isolation of cycles. explanatory elements in the form of rainfall and supply indicators were added. This research indicated that beef price cycles are relative stable and are partly self generating processes, depending on price expectations, supply cycles and rainfall cycles.
