description: Forest benefits are now commonly understood through the ecosystem service framework. Recreational visits to forests, considered an important cultural service, have been the target of a significant proportion of the non-market valuation literature to date. Such models have evolved from relatively simple travel cost models to employing GIS to develop spatial demand models. Due to restrictions on accessing private land, forests are a particularly important recreational resource in Ireland as those which are publicly owned are accessible to the public and free to use. In addition, recent policies directed at private forests have included attempts to encourage owners to open their forests to the public. This study outlines the development of a spatially explicit recreation demand model for Ireland that describes how visitation differs across the population based on population characteristics and existing recreational resources. The model combines a zero-inflated negative binomial model of annual forest visits of a random sample of individuals with a simulated population model of Ireland and spatial data on household location. The results include an estimation of annual forest visitation and the development of a demand map that highlights where forest expansion could be targeted to maximise the recreational value of afforestation.

description: We predict a resonant enhancement of the nonlinear optical response of an interacting Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. The enhancement originates from a two-photon process which resonantly couples electronic states of a pair of atoms dressed by a strong control field. We calculate the optical response for the three-level system by explicitly including the dynamics of the intermediate state. We find an analytical expression for the third order susceptibility for a weak classical probe field. The nonlinear absorption displays the strongest resonant behavior on two-photon resonance where the detuning of the probe field equals the Rabi frequency of the control field. The nonlinear dispersion of the medium exhibits various spatial shapes depending on the interaction strength. Based on the developed model, we propose a realistic experimental scenario to observe the resonance by performing transmission measurements.

4-webs in the plane and their linearizability

description: We investigate the linearizability problem for different classes of 4-webs in the plane. In particular, we apply a recently found in [AGL] the linearizability conditions for 4-webs in the plane to confirm that a 4-web MW (Mayrhofer's web) with equal curvature forms of its 3-subwebs and a nonconstant basic invariant is always linearizable (this result was first obtained in [M 28]); it also follows from the papers [Na 96] and [Na98]). Using the same conditions, we also prove that such a 4-web with a constant basic invariant (Nakai's web) is linearizable if and only if it is parallelizable. We also study four classes of the so-called almost parallelizable 4-webs APW_a, a = 1, 2, 3, 4 (for them the curvature K = 0 and the basic invariant is constant on the leaves of the web foliation X_a), and prove that a 4-web APW_a is linearizable if and only if it coincides with a 4-web MW_a of the corresponding special class of 4-webs MW. The existence theorems are proved for all the classes of 4-webs considered in the paper.

description: Der deutsche Mineraloge und Bergingenieur August Schmidt (1802 – 1832) nahm im Jahr 1829 an einer Etappe der „Russisch-Sibirischen Reise“ Alexander von Humboldts teil. Bisher war über Schmidt so wenig bekannt, dass die Forschungsliteratur nicht einmal seinen richtigen Vornamen verwendete. Dieser Artikel präsentiert neue Erkenntnisse über seine Biografie und verfolgt den Weg, der ihn zu einer Anstellung als Bergwerksdirektor in den Ural und zur Teilnahme an Humboldts Reise führte. Humboldt erwartete ebenso wie die anderen an der Reise teilnehmenden Mineralogen, im Ural Diamanten zu finden. Diese Erwartungshaltung war bereits in den Jahren vor der Reise durch einen internationalen Wissensaustausch zu den geologischen Ähnlichkeiten der Kontinente entstanden, an dem Alexander von Humboldt maßgeblich beteiligt war.
description: August Schmidt (1802 – 1832), a German mineralogist and mining engineer, took part in a stage of Alexander von Humboldt’s Russian-Siberian Journey in 1829. Until now, so little was known about Schmidt that the few scholars who mentioned him did not even use his real fi rst name. This article presents new fi ndings about his biography and traces the path that led him to employment as a mine director in the Urals and to his participation in Humboldt’s voyage. Humboldt, as well as the other participating mineralogists, expected to find diamonds in the Urals. These expectations arose years before the trip through an international exchange of knowledge about the geological similarity of the continents, in which Alexander von Humboldt played a key role.
description: Август Шмидт (1802 – 1832), немецкий минералог и горный инженер, принимал участие в одном из этапов российско-сибирского путешествия Александра фон Гумбольдта в 1829 году. До сих пор о Шмидте было известно так мало, что те немногие ученые, которые упоминали его, даже не использовали его настоящее имя. В этой статье представлены новые сведения о его биографии и прослеживается путь, который привелего к назначению на должность Управляющего рудником на Урале и к участию в путешествии Гумбольдта. Гумбольдт, как и другие минералоги-участники, рассчитывали найти алмазы на Урале. Эти ожидания возникли за годы до поездки в результате международного обмена знаниями о геологическом сходстве континентов, в котором Александр фон Гумбольдт сыграл ключевую роль.

description: The central super-massive black hole of the Milky Way, Sgr A*, accretes at a very low rate making it a very underluminous galactic nucleus. Despite the tens of Wolf-Rayet stars present within the inner parsec supplying ${\sim}10^{-3}\rm\ M_{\odot}\ yr^{-1}$ in stellar winds, only a negligible fraction of this material ($<10^{-4}$) ends up being accreted onto Sgr A*. The recent discovery of cold gas (${\sim}10^4\rm\ K$) in its vicinity raised questions about how such material could settle in the hostile (${\sim}10^7\rm\ K$) environment near Sgr A*. In this work we show that the system of mass-losing stars blowing winds can naturally account for both the hot, inefficient accretion flow, as well as the formation of a cold disk-like structure. We run hydrodynamical simulations using the grid-based code Ramses starting as early in the past as possible to observe the state of the system at the present time. Our results show that the system reaches a quasi-steady state in about ${\sim}500\rm\ yr$ with material being captured at a rate of ${\sim}10^{-6}\rm\ M_{\odot}\ yr^{-1}$ at scales of ${\sim}10^{-4}\rm\ pc$, consistent with the observations and previous models. However, on longer timescales ($\gtrsim3000\rm\ yr$) the material accumulates close to the black hole in the form of a disk. Considering the duration of the Wolf-Rayet phase (${\sim}10^5\rm\ yr$), we conclude that this scenario likely has already happened, and could be responsible for the more active past of Sgr A*, and/or its current outflow. We argue that the hypothesis of the mass-losing stars being the main regulator of the activity of the black hole deserves further consideration.

description: Low-frequency Raman coupling coefficient of 11 different glasses is evaluated. It is found that the coupling coefficient demonstrates a universal linear frequency behavior near the boson peak maximum and a superlinear behavior at very low frequencies. The last observation suggests vanishing of the coupling coefficient when frequency tends to zero. The results are discussed in terms of the vibration wavefunction that combines features of localized and extended modes.

description: The details of reheating energy scale $ρ_{reh}$ is largely uncertain today, independent of inflation models. This would induce uncertainty in predicting primordial spectrum. Such uncertainty could be very large, especially for spectra with large running $n_S$. We find that for some inflation models with a large $d\ln n_S(k)/d\ln k$, $ρ_{reh}$ could be highly restricted by current CMB observations.

description: Academic library support services face a growing demand for data management planning support. Providing guidance is essential to help researchers establish good data management routines and to prevent them from feeling overwhelmed by demands or perceiving the writing of a DMP as a pure administrative burden. At the same time, it is challenging for support personnel to keep up to date with guidelines and guidance resources in a fast-paced field.

To address both demands, the 1-year project ‘Data Management Plans: Support package for Norwegian higher education libraries’ (October 2023-2024) facilitated alignment of Data Management Plan (DMP) recommendations between the four largest Universities in Norway and developed resources for both researchers and support staff.

The support package consists of three products: 1) a knowledge base for support staff including annotation of the Science Europe Practical Guide to the International Alignment of Research Data Management in the Norwegian context, 2) short texts for use in digital DMP tools that were implemented as discipline-agnostic knowledge model and connected questionnaires/templates in the DMP-tool Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW), 3) accompanying information resources for researchers and students. All generated text resources are maintained through an open contribution and maintenance process.

description: We calculate the spectral densities for two impurities inside an elliptical quantum corral using exact diagonalization in the relevant Hilbert subspace and embedding into the rest of the system. For one impurity, the space and energy dependence of the change in differential conductance $Δ= dI/dV$ observed in the quantum mirage experiment is reproduced. In presence of another impurity, $Δ= dI/dV$ is very sensitive to the hybridization between impurity and bulk. The impurities are correlated ferromagnetically between them. A hopping $\gtrsim 0.15$ eV between impurities destroy the Kondo resonance.

description: In this paper, we describe and analyze the co-management institutional framework at 21 Brazilian Marine Extractive Reserves (MERs) and present the dramas of its implementation from the local manager’s perspective. We categorized the governance instruments of MERs into (i) instruments for land/sea tenure and beneficiaries’ recognition, (ii) territorial use planning, (iii) institutional arenas for discussion and deliberation, as well as (iv) public policies. Although the legal arrangements of these protected areas address fundamental dimensions of governance, we present the challenges of its implementation based on the voice of local managers. The managers are the bridge between the central government and communities, dealing with the implementation of the institutional framework in a reality of multi-level and multi-scale drama: from local to national dilemmas, from organizational to structural ones. We explore these dramas and highlight the institutional dilemmas based on the paradoxes between legalism and social emancipation.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We propose a cosmological scenario which describes the evolution history of the universe based on the particle creation and holographic equipartition. The model attempts to solve the inflation of the early universe and the accelerated expansion of the present universe without introducing the dark energy from the perspective of thermodynamics. Throughout the evolution of the universe, we assume that the universe always creates particles in some way and holographic equipartition is always satisfied. Further, we choose that the creation rate of particles is proportional to $H^{2}$ in the early universe and to $H$ in the present and late universe, where $H$ is the Hubble parameter. Then we obtain the solutions $a(t)\propto e^{αt/3}$ and $a(t)\propto t^{1/2}$ for the early universe and the solutions $a(t)\propto t^δ$ and $a(t)\propto e^{Ht}$ for the present and late universe, where $α$ and $δ$ are the parameters. Finally, we obtain and analyze two important thermodynamic properties for the present model.

description: Stigmops n.gen.
 Type species. Stigmops polyvelota n.sp.
 Composition. Stigmops polyvelota n.gen. n.sp., S. odontotergina n.sp., S. howensis (Lewis, 1998b) and S. demiclavula (Lewis, 1998b).
 Diagnosis (with differing A. howensis state between parentheses). Dorsal ornamentation distinct: cephalon with 4 (2) projecting lobes, ridge above eyes, pereonite 1 with one midline anterior and two posterior lobes, pereonites 2– 7 each with pair of midline lobes, increasing in size posteriorly (pereonite 7 with small pair of midline tubercles); dorsal cuticle with scales and numerous pits (Fig. 7F); body convex with nearly horizontal epimera; conglobation with imperfect folding, leaving flange along sides; frontal lamina raised well above level of vertex, cleft in midline (entire); epimera 1 thin lateral margin, dorsal surface concave, epimera 1 ventral surface with ridge close to tergite junction ending in tooth-like endolobe, epimera 2 endolobe toothlike, endolobes not visible dorsally; pleotelson sides near parallel or hourglass-shaped, posterior margin straight (indented); uropod exopod visible ventrally through gap between pleotelson and uropod protopod distal part.
 Etymology. Stigmops means “pitted face”, based on the Greek words “stigme” (a spot or prick) and “ops” (the face). This feminine name refers to the pits on the head and elsewhere (e.g., Fig. 7F) seen in this genus.
 Remarks. As discussed above, several species originally included in Anchicubaris Collinge have been transferred to Stigmops n.gen. We place four endemic Lord Howe Island species in Stigmops: S. polyvelota n.sp., S. odontotergina n.sp., S. howensis (Lewis, 1998b) and S. demiclavula (Lewis, 1998b). As discussed above, Anchicubaris fongosiensis, although related, lacks synapomorphies that support the monophyly of Stigmops species. Stigmops species shares some similarities with those in Pyrgoniscus Kinahan, 1859, including: tooth-like endolobes, epimera 1 with ventral longitudinal ridge, raised frontal lamina, the mode of conglobation and, in Stigmops howensis and Stigmops demiclavula, the shape of the pleotelson and uropods. These two genera differ in the shape and arrangement of dorsal tubercles, highly convex body shape and presence of cuticular pits.

description: This study aimed to assess satisfaction of patients affected by various fluid regimes during uncomplicated labor; to identify factors possibly associated with the level of satisfaction; to compare obstetrical and neonatal outcomes between the intervention groups. Between October and December 2014, 40 women were included in the study set at the Poitiers University Hospital, France. Women were randomly allocated to two study arms: 20 to strict and 20 to liberal fluid regime group. Women’s satisfaction was assessed using visual analog scale. Categorical obstetrical and neonatal outcomes were analyzed using Chi-squared test and Fischer’s exact test. The between-group difference was assessed with Mann–Whitney U-test. Overall satisfaction was higher among women from the liberal fluid regime than from the strict fluid regime group (median score: 88, interquartile range [IQR]: 21 vs. 72, IQR: 21; p = 0.03). The active phase of the second stage of labor was shorter in the liberal fluid regime than in the strict fluid regime group (median 9 min, IQR: 7 vs. 17 min, IQR: 12; p = 0.02). The length of stay in the delivery room was significantly shorter in liberal fluid regime than in strict fluid regime group (median 190 min, IQR: 128 vs. 340 min, IQR: 195, p = 0.04). There were no significant differences in other obstetrical and neonatal outcomes. Liberal fluid regime during labor was associated with significantly higher satisfaction of women. The active phase of the second stage of labor and the length of stay in the delivery room were significantly shorter in the liberal fluid regime group.

description: Involving patients and consumers in research design helps ensure relevance for those affected by the problem being investigated and can optimize recruitment to clinical trials. This is particularly important when conducting research involving pregnant women. We investigated women’s motivations to participate in a hypothetical randomized control trial (RCT) of a third-trimester screening test for intrapartum fetal compromise (IFC) and adverse perinatal outcomes. Women attending for routine antenatal care at a tertiary center were invited to complete a short, anonymized patient acceptability survey. The survey was developed with the assistance of the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand’s Consumer Advisory Panel and consisted of Likert scales and open-ended questions. It was designed to ascertain women’s responses to research issues, particularly the acceptability of being randomized to a non-revealed arm of a screening test RCT. 100 pregnant women took part; 40% indicated that they would agree/strongly agree to participate in a hypothetical RCT regardless of whether they were given the result of a screening test and 31% were unsure. Randomization to either an intervention or control group was acceptable to 47%, 30% were unsure and 23% were not willing to be randomized. Reasons to participate included the desire to contribute to research and to improve pregnancy care. Participation in an RCT of a screening test for IFC involving non-disclosure of the test result was acceptable to a large minority of pregnant women. This finding supports the feasibility of conducting a large-scale study of this design.

description: The forced motion of superfluid vortices in shear oscillations of rotating solid neutron star matter produces damping of the mode. A simple model of the unpinning and repinning processes is described, with numerical calculations of the consequent energy decay times. These are of the order of 1 s or more for typical anomalous X-ray pulsars but become very short for the general population of radio pulsars. The superfluid friction processes considered here may also be significant for the damping of r-modes in rapidly rotating neutron stars.

description: Universal quantum computation is striking for its unprecedented capability in processing information, but its scalability is challenging in practice because of the inevitable environment noise. Although quantum error correction (QEC) techniques have been developed to protect stored quantum information from leading orders of errors, the noise-resilient processing of the QEC-protected quantum information is highly demanded but remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate phase gate operations on a logical qubit encoded in a bosonic oscillator in an error-transparent (ET) manner. Inspired by Refs. [9,10], the ET gates are extended to the bosonic code and are able to tolerate errors during the gate operations, regardless of the random occurrence time of the error. With precisely designed gate Hamiltonians through photon-number-resolved AC-Stark shifts, the ET condition is fulfilled experimentally. We verify that the ET gates outperform the non-ET gates with a substantial improvement of the gate fidelity after an occurrence of the single-photon-loss error. Our ET gates in the superconducting quantum circuits are readily for extending to multiple encoded qubits and a universal gate set is within reach, paving the way towards fault-tolerant quantum computation.

description: We find d - 2 relative differential invariants for a d-web, d \geq 4, on a two-dimensional manifold and prove that their vanishing is necessary and sufficient for a d-web to be linearizable. If one writes the above invariants in terms of web functions f (x,y) and g_4 (x,y),...,g_d (x,y), then necessary and sufficient conditions for the linearizabilty of a d-web are two PDEs of the fourth order with respect to f and g_4, and d - 4 PDEs of the second order with respect to f and g_4,...,g_d. For d = 4, this result confirms Blaschke's conjecture on the nature of conditions for the linearizabilty of a 4-web. We also give Mathematica codes for testing 4- and d-webs (d > 4) for linearizability and examples of their usage.

description: We study geometrically-controlled twist transitions of a nematic confined between a sinusoidal grating and a flat substrate. In these cells the transition to the twisted state is driven by surface effects. We have identified the mechanisms responsible for the transition analytically and used exact numerical calculations to study the range of surface parameters where the twist instability occurs. Close to these values the cell operates under minimal external fields or temperature variations.
Monotonicity-preserving finite element schemes with adaptive mesh refinement for hyperbolic problems

description: This work is focused on the extension and assessment of the monotonicity-preserving scheme in [3] and the local bounds preserving scheme in [5] to hierarchical octree adaptive mesh refinement (AMR). Whereas the former can readily be used on this kind of meshes, the latter requires some modifications. A key question that we want to answer in this work is whether to move from a linear to a nonlinear stabilization mechanism pays the price when combined with shock-adapted meshes. Whereas nonlinear (or shock-capturing) stabilization leads to improved accuracy compared to linear schemes, it also negatively hinders nonlinear convergence, increasing computational cost. We compare linear and nonlinear schemes in terms of the required computational time versus accuracy for several steady benchmark problems. Numerical results indicate that, in general, nonlinear schemes can be cost-effective for sufficiently refined meshes. Besides, it is also observed that it is better to refine further around shocks rather than use sharper shock capturing terms, which usually yield stiffer nonlinear problems. In addition, a new refinement criterion has been proposed. The proposed criterion is based on the graph Laplacian used in the definition of the stabilization method. Numerical results show that this shock detector performs better than the well-known Kelly estimator for problems with shocks or discontinuities.

 Cubaris granulatus Lewis, 1998b (not C. granulatus Collinge, 1915b).
 Remarks. Lewis (1998b) described a new species of Cubaris from Lord Howe Island that she named C. granulatus. This name has already been used by Collinge (1915b) for a species from India. These species are clearly different, and the species from Lord Howe Island must be given another name. We propose the name Cubaris lewisae nom. nov. to replace C. granulatus Lewis, 1998b.

IDCC25

description: This innovative workshop concept addresses a critical gap in the professional development of research data management (RDM) professionals and data stewards. While existing courses focus on technical RDM knowledge, this initiative, developed within the German National Scientific Research Infrastructure, aims to cultivate change agents who can effectively implement FAIR data and Open Science principles.

The program offers a unique set of learning objectives, emphasizing skills often overlooked in traditional RDM training. Participants will explore essential competencies for their roles, engage with self-marketing strategies, and develop skills in communication, strategy development, and change management. The agenda includes professional growth techniques, resilience building, stakeholder analysis, and goal setting.

Designed to meet the evolving needs of Data Stewards, Research Data Managers, and Data Curators, this training aligns with European initiatives like Skills4EOSC. It will run twice in Germany in autumn 2024, with results presented at IDCC 2025. Workshop materials will be published on Zenodo for wider access and adaptation.

We invite IDCC 2025 participants to discuss this workshop concept, share experiences, and provide feedback on this pioneering approach to RDM professional development.
Conformational Instability of Rodlike Polyelectrolytes due to Counterion Fluctuations

description: The effective elasticity of highly charged stiff polyelectrolytes is studied in the presence of counterions, with and without added salt. The rigid polymer conformations may become unstable due to an effective attraction induced by counterion density fluctuations. Instabilities at the longest, or intermediate length scales may signal collapse to globule, or necklace states, respectively. In the presence of added-salt, a generalized electrostatic persistence length is obtained, which has a nontrivial dependence on the Debye screening length. It is also found that the onset of conformational instability is a re-entrant phenomenon as a function of polyelectrolyte length for the unscreened case, and the Debye length or salt concentration for the screened case. This may be relevant in understanding the experimentally observed re-entrant condensation of DNA.

description: By now new modern rice varieties (MVs) with multiple pest and disease resistance have completely replaced early MVs, such as IRS and IR8, except in a few areas of Asia. This study attempts to identify the changing impacts of 'first-generation' and 'second-generation' MVs on productivity in rice farming by estimating the yield function, while correcting selectivity bias arising from the choice of varieties. For this purpose, we used farm-level survey data collected for eleven cropping seasons in Central Luzon in the Philippines from 1966 to 1990. We found that while the yield advantage of first-generation MVs over traditional varieties was limited, the yield-increasing effect of second-generation MVs over first-generation MVs was highly significant. In particular, the adoption of improved MVs significantly contributed to yield growth under the irrigated condition and during the dry season. Thus, we conclude that the Green Revolution would not have been revolutionary without the development and the diffusion of second-generation MVs with multiple pest and disease resistance.
Direct arylation of heteroarenes by PEPPSI-type palladium–NHC complexes and representative quantum chemical calculations for the compound which the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography

description: In this study, we synthesized five new PEPPSI-type Pd-NHC complexes with high yields around 78–83%. The structures of all complexes were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopies. Further, the structure of 2c was determined by X-ray crystallography. The single-crystal structure of 2c shows that coordination geometry around Pd is distorted square planar. The Pd-NHC complexes were efficient catalysts for the direct C5-arylation of 2-n-butylthiazole, 2-n-butylfuran, and 2-n-butylthiophene with various aryl-bromides and showed high catalytic activity for arylation reaction using only 1 mol% catalyst loading at 130 °C for 1 h. The conversions for substrates containing electron-withdrawing groups were higher than for substituents containing electron-donating groups. In order to evaluate the catalytic activity of the complexes, representative electronic and spectroscopic simulations by DFT method have been performed for 2c. NBO analysis has revealed that the strongest interaction contributing to the lowering of the molecular stabilization energy for 2c is predicted as π(C11-N27) → π*(N26-C28) with E(2) = 73.93 kcal mol−1. In addition, FMO analysis has implied that 2c is more chemically reactive because of its lower energy gap value. According to the other quantum chemical parameters, 2c is softer, better electrophile and has more charge-transfer capability than 1c.

description: The optical flow of humans is well known to be useful for the analysis of human action. Recent optical flow methods focus on training deep networks to approach the problem. However, the training data used by them does not cover the domain of human motion. Therefore, we develop a dataset of multi-human optical flow and train optical flow networks on this dataset. We use a 3D model of the human body and motion capture data to synthesize realistic flow fields in both single- and multi-person images. We then train optical flow networks to estimate human flow fields from pairs of images. We demonstrate that our trained networks are more accurate than a wide range of top methods on held-out test data and that they can generalize well to real image sequences. The code, trained models and the dataset are available for research.
