Volachlamys

description: Volachlamys Iredale, 1939
 Volachlamys Iredale, 1939: 356. Type species (by original designation): Pecten cumingii Reeve, 1853 (= Pecten singaporinus G. B. Sowerby II, 1842); Recent, Queensland.
 Diagnosis. Medium-sized Mimachlamydini with circular shape in late ontogeny, valves relatively flattened; macrosculpture of evenly spaced, prominent radial plicae and commarginal lamellae throughout ontogeny, with shallowly pitted microsulpture on pre-radial area of left valve and interstitial scaly imbricate “pseudo-shagreen” microsculpture in the early radial stage, weak interstitial radial microsculpture present late in ontogeny of some specimens; internal rib carinae prominent around ventral margin; resilial teeth weak, dorsal teeth prominent, narrow; byssal notch deep, ctenolium well-developed.
 Distribution. Miocene(?)–Recent (Hayami, 1989). Tropical Indo-West Pacific, living in the littoral to sublittoral zones on soft sediment.
 Discussion. Hertlein (1969: N357) treated Volachlamys as a junior synonym of Argopecten Monterosato, 1889, a subgenus of Chlamys, placed in the suprageneric Chlamys group.
 The extant tropical Indo-West Pacific genus Volachlamys resembles the tropical eastern Pacific and western Atlantic genus Argopecten, although it differs in convexity of the valves (more flattened in Volachlamys and more strongly convex in Argopecten) and in microsculpture. Volachlamys has interstitial imbricate “pseudo-shagreen” microsculpture in the early radial stage, whereas Argopecten has radial microsculpture. As noted above, Volachlamys also has a weakly pitted pre-radial area of the left valve, as in Mimachlamys and Minnivola, whereas this area is more deeply pitted in Aequipectinini. Volachlamys is included here in tribe Mimachlamydini; the resemblance to Argopecten is a further confusing convergence produced by similarities in habit rather than by close phylogenetic relationship (T. R. Waller, USNM, pers. comm. 1 July 2017).

description: The paper assesses the structures and the dynamics of transnational cooperation projects promoted by Local Action Groups (LAGs) in different periods (from LEADER II to LEADER Axis) using Social Network Analysis (SNA) in a specific case study: the Veneto region in Italy. The classical indexes of SNA have been critically examined, moreover the paper presents innovative indexes able to capture the peculiarity of transnational cooperation: disaggregated densities of the network and transnational centrality of the node. These indexes are useful in order to quantify how transnational a network actually is, and to measure the power-information that each actor (LAG) can acquire through its transnational contacts. The methodology can become an instrument for Managing Authorities to implement new forms of evaluation of transnational cooperation of LAGs.

description: We formulate a model for a cooperative ballistic deposition (CBD) process whereby the incoming particles are correlated with the ones already adsorbed via attractive force. The strength of the correlation is controlled by a tunable parameter $a$ that interpolates the classical car parking problem at $a=0$, the ballistic deposition at $a=1$ and the CBD model at $a>1$. The effects of the correlation in the CBD model are as follows. The jamming coverage $q(a)$ increases with the strength of attraction $a$ due to an ever increasing tendency of cluster formation. The system almost reaches the closest packing structure as $a\to\infty$ but never forms a percolating cluster which is typical to 1D system. In the large $a$ regime, the mean cluster size $k$ increases as $a^{1/2}$. Furthermore, the asymptotic approach towards the closest packing is purely algebraic both with $a$ as $q(\infty)-q(a) \sim a^{-1/2}$ and with $k$ as $q(\infty)-q(k) \sim k^{-1}$ where $q(\infty)\simeq 1$.

description: We report on the discovery of a very narrow-line star forming object beyond redshift of 5. Using the prime-focus camera, Suprime-Cam, on the 8.2 m Subaru telescope together with a narrow-passband filter centered at $λ_{\rm c}$ = 8150 Åwith passband of $Δλ$ = 120 Å, we have obtained a very deep image of the field surrounding the quasar SDSSp J104433.04$-$012502.2 at a redshift of 5.74. Comparing this image with optical broad-band images, we have found an object with a very strong emission line. Our follow-up optical spectroscopy has revealed that this source is at a redshift of $z=5.655\pm0.002$, forming stars at a rate $\sim 13 ~ h_{0.7}^{-2} ~ M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. Remarkably, the velocity dispersion of Ly$α$-emitting gas is only 22 km s$^{-1}$. Since a blue half of the Ly$α$ emission could be absorbed by neutral hydrogen gas, perhaps in the system, a modest estimate of the velocity dispersion may be $\gtrsim$ 44 km s$^{-1}$. Together with a linear size of 7.7 $h_{0.7}^{-1}$ kpc, we estimate a lower limit of the dynamical mass of this object to be $\sim 2 \times 10^9 M_\odot$. It is thus suggested that LAE J1044$-$0123 is a star-forming dwarf galaxy (i.e., a subgalactic object or a building block) beyond redshift 5 although we cannot exclude a possibility that most Ly$α$ emission is absorbed by the red damping wing of neutral intergalactic matter.

description: Using the multi-product translog cost function, this paper examines the cost structure and technical change occurring within the novel Ghanaian rural banks. The results of the seemingly unrelated error components model indicate substantial unexploited economies of scale in individual products as well as in overall intermediation. There is presence of pairwise complementarity between loans and government securities and between deposits and government securities, but absence of pairwise complementarity between loans and deposits. Overall, capital-using and labour-saving technical change has occurred but efficiency loss in deposit mobilization outweighs the efficiency gains in government securities and lending activities; operation of agencies reinforces the overall efficiency loss. The rural banks must not be hindered from expanding, but in any growth strategy deposit mobilization should take a central position and the cost of operating agencies watched closely.

A Simplified Model for the Secular Dynamics of Eccentric Discs and Applications to Planet-Disc Interactions

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: We develop a simplified model for studying the long-term evolution of giant planets in protoplanetary discs. The model accounts for the eccentricity evolution of the planets and the dynamics of eccentric discs under the influences of secular planet-disc interactions and internal disc pressure, self-gravity and viscosity. Adopting the ansatz that the disc precesses coherently with aligned apsides, the eccentricity evolution equations of the planet-disc system reduce to a set of linearized ODEs, which allows for fast computation of the evolution of planet-disc eccentricities over long timescales. Applying our model to "giant planet + external disc" systems, we are able to reproduce and explain the secular behaviours found in previously published hydrodynamical simulations. We re-examine the possibility of eccentricity excitation (due to secular resonance) of multiple planets embedded in a dispersing disc, and find that taking into account the dynamics of eccentric discs can significantly affect the evolution of the planets' eccentricities.

description: Incorporating extinct taxa in phylogenetic comparative methods is rapidly becoming invaluable in studies of character evolution. An increasing number of studies have evaluated the effects of extinct taxa, and different numbers of extinct taxa, on model selection and parameter estimation. Body mass is a well-studied phenotype, but individual mass estimates may vary dramatically depending on the particular measurement used. Here, we perform an analysis of body mass evolution in a large clade of principally arboreal birds, incorporating 76 extinct species. We evaluate how different methods for estimating body mass of extinct taxa, and different phylogenetic hypotheses, affect our understanding of the rate and pattern of body mass evolution. Our results show that model selection can vary dramatically depending on the phenotypic and phylogenetic hypothesis used in the reconstruction. Even small changes in phenotype estimates can lead to different model selection and, as a result, affect the inferred evolutionary history. The best-fit models support an increase in the rate of evolution following the K–Pg boundary, with variation accumulating linearly through the Cenozoic. These results provide additional insight into the application of comparative models of evolution, as well as the evolutionary history of one of the most spectacular vertebrate radiations.

description: We report conduction electron spin resonance measurements performed on highly oriented pyrolitic graphite samples between 10 K and 300 K using S (f = 4 GHz), X (f = 9.4 GHz), and Q (f = 34.4 GHz) microwave bands for the external dc-magnetic field applied parallel (H || c) and perpendicular (H perp c) to the sample hexagonal c-axis. The results obtained in the H || c geometry are interpreted in terms of the presence of an effective internal ferromagnetic-like field Heff-int(T,H) that increases as the temperature decreases and the applied dc-magnetic field increases. We associate the occurrence of the Heff-int(T,H) with the field-induced metal-insulator transition in graphite and discuss its origin in the light of relevant theoretical models.

description: Sampling reservoir hosts over time and space is critical to detect epizootics, predict spillover and design interventions. However, because sampling is logistically difficult and expensive, researchers rarely perform spatio-temporal sampling of many reservoir hosts. Bats are reservoirs of many virulent zoonotic pathogens such as filoviruses and henipaviruses, yet the highly mobile nature of these animals has limited optimal sampling of bat populations. To quantify the frequency of temporal sampling and to characterize the geographical scope of bat virus research, we here collated data on filovirus and henipavirus prevalence and seroprevalence in wild bats. We used a phylogenetically controlled meta-analysis to next assess temporal and spatial variation in bat virus detection estimates. Our analysis shows that only one in four bat virus studies report data longitudinally, that sampling efforts cluster geographically (e.g. filovirus data are available across much of Africa and Asia but are absent from Latin America and Oceania), and that sampling designs and reporting practices may affect some viral detection estimates (e.g. filovirus seroprevalence). Within the limited number of longitudinal bat virus studies, we observed high heterogeneity in viral detection estimates that in turn reflected both spatial and temporal variation. This suggests that spatio-temporal sampling designs are important to understand how zoonotic viruses are maintained and spread within and across wild bat populations, which in turn could help predict and preempt risks of zoonotic viral spillover.

description: We explain how to form a novel dataset of simply connected Calabi-Yau threefolds via the Gross-Siebert algorithm. We expect these to degenerate to Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces with certain Gorenstein (not necessarily isolated) singularities. In particular, we explain how to `smooth the boundary' of a class of $4$-dimensional reflexive polytopes to obtain a polarised tropical manifolds. We compute topological invariants of a compactified torus fibration over each such tropical manifold, expected to be homotopy equivalent to the general fibre of the Gross-Siebert smoothing. We consider a family of examples related to the joins of elliptic curves. Among these we find $14$ topological types with $b_2=1$ which do not appear in existing lists of known rank one Calabi-Yau threefolds.

description: Recent first-principles electron-phonon scattering calculations of heavily-doped semiconductors suggest that a simple DOS scattering model, wherein the electronic scattering rates are assumed to be proportional to the density-of-states, better approximates the rigorous scattering characteristics compared to the commonly used constant relaxation-time and constant mean-free-path approximations. This work investigates how the thermoelectric properties predicted with the DOS model compare to the other two scattering models, using three analytical electron dispersions (parabolic band in 3D/2D/1D, Kane band in 3D/2D/1D, and ring-shaped quartic band in 2D). Our findings show that the scattering models can lead to significant differences, and can disagree about whether certain band structures can provide benefits. A constant relaxation-time is found to always be optimistic compared to a constant mean-free-path, while the DOS scattering model shows no such clear trend. Notably, the 1D parabolic band and 2D quartic band exhibit the highest power factors with the DOS model, resulting from a rapid decrease in density-of-states, and thus scattering - suggesting a possible strategy for improved thermoelectrics based on engineering band structures with sharp/discontinuous drops in density-of-states. The DOS scattering approximation also suggests that searches for materials with a delta function-like DOS (as a proxy to the transport distribution) or converged bands may yield limited benefits, due to the increase in scattering. This work highlights the importance of simple and accurate scattering models when rigorous ab-initio scattering calculations are not feasible.

 Diagnosis. Small to medium-sized byssate Pedini of strongly prosocline shape, with narrow umbonal angle, auricles highly unequal; pre-radial antimarginal microsculpture; narrow, squamous primary radial costae, secondary costae intercalated near ventral margin (late in ontogeny on most specimens); interstitial antimarginal microsculpture present, with a few long, straight ridgelets in centre of central radial interspaces, shagreen present in a few species; shallow internal radial furrows present, rib carinae lacking; byssal notch deep, ctenolium well-developed. Hinge with moderately prominent resilial and dorsal teeth.
 Distribution. Miocene–Recent (Beu & Darragh, 2001: 115–118; Balcombian Australian Stage, middle Miocene). Southwestern Pacifc, southern Australia, New Zealand, and the Galapagos Islands, living in the sublittoral to bathyal zones.
 Discussion. Iredale (1929: 164) proposed Veprichlamys as a subgenus of Mimachlamys. Hertlein (1969: N355) treated Veprichlamys as a junior synonym of Chlamys, placed in the suprageneric Chlamys group.

description: The new technologies in the field of food processing provide the opportunity to revive some productions that are crushed by the global market and environmental issues. However in the citrus sector the lack of investment and difficulties to manage economic cost are likely to slow down the take-off of these innovations. Starting from the results of the 7FP European Project NAMASTE, this paper provides a methodology for the computation of the full cost of several citrus by-products and an attempts to analyse through a simulation model the decision making problem of a citrus firm who decide to upgrade citrus waste in order to obtain several by-products. The results show the importance of using the full cost in the management of resources. However, the possibility of producing from citrus wastes are constrained by production capacity resources and by the overall efficiency of production technologies. The economic sustainability can be achieved by an increases in production efficiency, improving the technologies and the ability to reuse waste. However, a large amount of investment is still required, which only the large firms can support, at least in the short term.

The phonon bottleneck does not prevent significantly the relaxation processes and the calculated decay times can be of the order of a few tens picoseconds at temperature $T \simeq 100$K, consistent with recent experiments by Paillard et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf86}, 1634 (2001)].

International trade and agricultural development in developing countries: Significance of the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations

International Relations/Trade

description: Liberalization of world trade in agricultural products ranks high on the agenda of the Uruguay Round. After a period of more than six years, however, the negotiations have not been concluded. Nevertheless, an outcome seems to be in sight. The agreement will most likely not result in a move to freer trade. It seems that domestic policies will become even more regulative than in the past in an attempt to cut exportable surpluses and to ease trade tensions among the main exporting nations. This paper explores possible impacts of the GATT Round on agricultural development in developing countries. Agricultural development is more than only growth in agricultural production or productivity. However, it is argued in the paper that other variables which also indicate agricultural development are often closely correlated with growth in production and productivity. Trade in agricultural products is not always an engine for agricultural development. If internal divergences are not accounted for by appropriate domestic policies, trade may be even harmful to agricultural development. Hence, empirical research based on cross-country analysis does not provide a clear answer about the role of trade for development. Past policies in industrialized countries have most likely had a negative effect on developing countries as a group; however, the effects differ widely across countries. Liberalization policies in industrialized countries would not just reverse these negative effects for developing countries. Price reduction in industrialized countries may not result in the often-cited production decline in the short term. Present X-inefficiency in agriculture will be reduced by liberalization, leading to an outward shift of the supply curve. Hence, liberalization may not lead to higher world market prices for temperate-zone products in the short and medium term. Apart from this, empirical models differ widely in the price effects they predict. The expected outcome of the Uruguay Round - increased regulation of domestic policies - is likely both more negative for developing countries than past protectionist policies and worse than an overall liberalization. World market prices will increase, uncertainty and instability can be expected to grow, and food aid may become less available. There will be a need to react to these challenges with measures on the international and national level. Initiatives to deal with food crises in developing countries and to stimulate liberalization in developing countries should be considered. Finally, developing countries should be made aware that their own domestic policies have a much greater economic impact than policies in other countries, even if the latter are as protectionist as current agricultural policies in the industrialized world.

It is seen that the momentum squared dependence of the gravitational form factors can be well described by the p-pole fit function. The results obtained by using two sets of parameters are found to be quite different from each other and the $N(1535) \rightarrow N$ transition gravitational form factors depend highly on the shape parameters of the distribution amplitudes of the $N(1535)$ state that parametrize relative orbital angular momentum of the constituent quarks.

description: We formulate a general framework for addressing both odd- and even-frequency superconductivity in Dirac semimetals and demonstrate that the odd-frequency or the Berezinskii pairing can naturally appear in these materials because of the chirality degree of freedom. We show that repulsive frequency-dependent interactions favor the Berezinskii pairing while an attractive electron-electron interaction allows for the BCS pairing. In the case of compensated Dirac and Weyl semimetals, both the conventional BCS and odd-frequency Berezinskii pairings require critical coupling. Since these pairings could originate from physically different mechanisms, our findings pave the way for controlling the realization of the Berezinskii superconductivity in topological semimetals. We also present the density of states with several cusp-like features that can serve as an experimentally verifiable signature of the odd-frequency gap.

description: We investigate the low density limit of the Homogeneous Electron system, often called the {\it Strictly Correlated} regime. We begin with a systematic presentation of the expansion around infinite $r_S$, based on the first quantized treatments suggested in the existing literature. We show that the expansion is asymptotic in the parameter $r_S^{1/4}$ and that the leading order result contains exponential corrections that are significant even for $r_S \sim 100$. Thus, the systematic expansion is of limited utility. As a byproduct of this analysis, we find that there is no Wigner Crystal (WC) in one spatial dimension. This is an example of the Mermin-Wagner theorem, but was not appreciated in some earlier literature. More modern work has come to conclusions identical to ours. Note that the long range Coulomb potential modifies the dispersion relation of phonons in one dimension, but still leads to the instability of the crystal, due to a very weak infrared divergence. We then propose a new approximation scheme based on renormalization group ideas. We show that the Wegner-Houghton-Wilson-Polchinski exact renormalization group equation reduces, in the low density limit, to a classical equation for scale dependent electron and plasmon fields. In principle, this should allow us to lower the wave number cutoff of the model to a point where Wigner's intuitive argument for dominance of the classical Coulomb forces becomes rigorously correct.

Could the 55 Cancri Planetary System Really Be in the 3:1 Mean Motion Resonance?

description: We integrate the orbital solutions of the planets orbiting 55 Cnc. In the simulations, we find that not only three resonant arguments $θ_{1}=λ_{1}-3λ_{2}+2\tildeω_{1}$, $θ_{2}=λ_{1}-3λ_{2}+2\tildeω_{2}$ and $θ_{3}=λ_{1}-3λ_{2}+(\tildeω_{1}+\tildeω_{2})$ librate respectively, but the relative apsidal longitudes $Δω$ also librates about $250^{\circ}$ for millions of years. The results imply the existence of the 3:1 resonance and the apsidal resonance for the studied system. We emphasize that the mean motion resonance and apsidal locking can act as two important mechanisms of stabilizing the system. In addition, we further investigate the secular dynamics of this system by comparing the numerical results with those given by Laplace-Lagrange secular theory.

Picks and ploughs: revitalising local economic development in rural sub-Saharan Africa

description: For decades, the rural development and poverty alleviation agenda in sub-Saharan Africa has emphasised support for smallholder farming and little else. Foreign large-scale miners and other industrial operators have complied, establishing agriculture-support services and programs for communities located near their activities. However, these interventions have yielded mixed results, largely because millions of rural African families have, over the course of the past two decades, diversified their income portfolios away from agriculture. One of the more popular destinations has been artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) — low-tech, labour intensive mineral extraction and processing. This is a rapidly-growing informal sector of industry that provides a range of job opportunities; it has played an important role in nourishing debilitated smallholder farming activities, economically, over the past decade. In this era of globalisation, subsistence farming and rural nonfarm activities such as ASM have taken on very different roles: the latter have become, in most cases, a principal source of income, including in many rural sections of sub-Saharan Africa; increasingly, the former has taken on more of a food security role for the rural household. This paper proposes measures for supporting and formalising ASM in rural sub-Saharan Africa.

Probing Dark Matter freeze-in with long-lived particle signatures: MATHUSLA, HL-LHC and FCC-hh

description: Collider searches for long-lived particles yield a promising avenue to probe the freeze-in production of Dark Matter via the decay of a parent particle. We analyze the prospects of probing the parameter space of Dark Matter freeze-in from the decay of neutral parent particles at the LHC and beyond, taking as a case study a freeze-in Dark Matter scenario via the Standard Model Higgs. We obtain the projected sensitivity of the proposed MATHUSLA surface detector (for MATHUSLA100 and MATHUSLA200 configurations) for long-lived particle searches to the freeze-in Dark Matter parameter space, and study its complementarity to searches by ATLAS and CMS at HL-LHC, as well as the interplay with constraints from Cosmology: Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis and Lyman-$α$ forest observations. We then analyze the improvement in sensitivity that would come from a forward detector within a future 100 TeV $pp$-collider. In addition, we discuss several technical aspects of the present Dark Matter freeze-in scenario: the role of the electroweak phase transition; the inclusion of thermal masses, which have been previously disregarded in freeze-in from decay studies; the impact of $2\to 2$ scattering processes on the Dark Matter relic abundance; and the interplay between freeze-in and super-WIMP Dark Matter production mechanisms.

Phase diagram and dependence of the critical temperature T_c on the pressure for Tl_{0.5}Pb_{0.5}Sr_2Ca_{1-x}Y_xCu_2)_7

description: Using a mean-field BCS-like approach on the bidimensional extended Hubbard Hamiltonian we calculate the superconducting transition temperature Tc as a function of the hole content nh, for the d-wave and extended-s wave gap symmetries. To describe the pressure effect on Tc we assume it induces a change in the magnitude V of the attractive superconductor potential. This assumption yields an explanation for the intrinsic term, and together with the well known change in nh, we set the critical temperature as Tc=Tc(nh(P),V(P)). With this we obtain a general expansion of Tc in terms of the pressure P and the hole content nh. We apply this expansion to the Tl_{0.5}Pb_{0.5}Sr_2Ca_{1-x}Y_xCu_2)_7 system.

description: Coralichlamys Iredale, 1939
 Coralichlamys Iredale, 1939: 355. Type species (by original designation): Coralichlamys acroporicola Iredale, 1939 (= Pecten madreporarum G. B. Sowerby II, 1842); Recent, Australia.
 Diagnosis. Small, coral-dwelling Pedini, irregularly shaped, with numerous unevenly spaced radial riblets; auricles highly unequal, posterior declined; antimarginal microsculpture in early ontogeny, secondary commarginal sculpture on anterior auricles and in late ontogeny; with prominent resilial and dorsal teeth; byssal notch deep, ctenolium well-developed.
 Distribution. Miocene–Recent (Hayami, 1989: 15). In our opinion, Chlamys rutteni (Martyn, 1914), from the Eocene of Java, Indonesia, does not belong in Coralichlamys. Indo-West Pacific, living in the subtidal to shallow sublittoral zones, lodged amongst Acropora branches.
 Discussion. Hertlein (1969: N355) treated Coralichlamys as a junior synonym of Chlamys Röding, 1798 in the Chlamys group. Currently Coralichlamys is regarded as a monotypic genus in Chlamydini (i.e., Pedini) (Waller, 1993: 203). In some recent phylogenies (Sherratt et al., 2016; Serb, 2016), specimens identified as Coralichlamys madreporarum (G. B. Sowerby II, 1842) are located in up to three distinct areas of the phylogram, indicating that the material consists of several unrelated taxa. Resolution of this question is beyond the scope of the present review.
