description: This study examines the factors influencing the adoption of ASC technologies and AG systems among cotton producers in the Southern United Sates. The data used is from a survey of cotton producers in 14 states. Using a random intercept bivariate probit regression, we evaluated the influence of crop acres harvested, education level, age of producer, field shape, use of farm dealers to obtain PA information, and the use of cover crops on the adoption decisions. Data from the NASS Crop Data Layer was used to estimate field shape measures included in this analysis. Results suggest that producers who are younger have more years of education, harvest more crop acres, and use farm dealers for information about precision agriculture are more likely to adopt ASC technologies and AG systems. Additionally, farms located in counties likely to have more irregularly shaped fields have a higher probability of adopting ASC technologies.

description: We show that the combined analysis of the quasicontinuous gamma spectra from the (He-3,alpha) and the (n-thermal,2gamma) reactions gives the possibility to measure the electromagnetic character of soft dipole resonances. Two-step gamma-cascade spectra have been calculated, using level densities and radiative strength functions from the (He-3,alpha gamma) reaction. The calculations show that the intensity of the two-step cascades depends on the electromagnetic character of the soft dipole resonance under study. The difference reaches 40-100% which can be measured experimentally.

On the association of G343.1-2.3 and PSR 1706-44

description: The association of G343.1-2.3 and PSR 1706-44 has been controversial from its first proposal. In this paper we address the difficulties, and argue that the association is still likely. New evidence comes from images of G343.1-2.3 obtained using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), and the pulsar obtained using the CHANDRA X-ray observatory. Mosaicing was required to cover the full extent of G343.1-2.3, and we present the polarisation images from this experiment. Also an X-ray pulsar wind nebula has been found in the archived CHANDRA observations, with the correct morphology to support the association. The ATCA observations confirm the much larger extent of the SNR, which now encompasses the pulsar. The X-ray morphology points back toward the centre of the SNR, indicating the direction of the proper motion, and that the PSR and SNR are associated.

description: Almost all massive stars explode as supernovae and form a black hole or neutron star. The remnant mass and the impact of the chemical yield on subsequent star formation and galactic evolution strongly depend on the internal physics of the progenitor star, which is currently not well understood. The theoretical uncertainties of stellar interiors accumulate with stellar age, which is particularly pertinent for the blue supergiant phase. Stellar oscillations represent a unique method of probing stellar interiors, yet inference for blue supergiants is hampered by a dearth of observed pulsation modes. Here we report the detection of diverse variability in blue supergiants using the K2 and TESS space missions. The discovery of pulsation modes or an entire spectrum of low-frequency gravity waves in these stars allow us to map the evolution of hot massive stars towards the ends of their lives. Future asteroseismic modelling will provide constraints on ages, core masses, interior mixing, rotation and angular momentum transport. The discovery of variability in blue supergiants is a step towards a data-driven empirical calibration of theoretical evolution models for the most massive stars in the Universe.

description: Core-collapse supernova (SN) ejecta are probably structured on both small and large scales, with greater deviations from spherical symmetry nearer the explosion site. Here, we present 2D and 3D gray radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of type II SN light curves from red (RSG) and blue supergiant (BSG) star explosions to investigate the impact on SN observables of inhomogeneities in density or composition, with a characteristic scale set to a few percent of the local radius. Clumping is found to hasten the release of stored radiation, boosting the early time luminosity and shortening the photospheric phase. Around the photosphere, radiation leaks between the clumps where the photon mean free path is greater. Since radiation is stored uniformly in volume, a greater clumping can increase this leakage by storing more and more mass into smaller and denser clumps containing less and less radiation energy. An inhomogeneous medium in which different regions recombine at different temperatures can also impact the light curve. Clumping can thus be a source of diversity in SN brightness. Clumping may lead to a systematic underestimate of ejecta masses from light curve modeling, although a significant offset seems to require a large density contrast of a few tens between clumps and interclump medium.

Brand New Your Retro? Yugo-nostalgia and/as Yugo-futurism in alternative and popular music
Creators: name: Milivojević, Mirko
Publisher: name: Imaginaires
Year: 2024

description: Through its different forms, Yugoslav (popular and alternative) music serves as one of the essential and most common materials of post-Yugoslav collective memory, both trans-nationally and trans-generationally. Similarly, numerous approaches, different theoretical and media discourses, covering the several decades of the musical and pop-cultural production – also known as Yu-Rock – were usually understood as practices of Yugo-nostalgic consumerism. However, this paper opposes such a reading of both (Yugo-)nostalgia and Yugoslav popular and alternative music/cultural scene of the late socialist Yugoslavia. In spite of the seminal notion of retromania, which can absolutely be applied to the revival and domination of the Yugoslav New Wave scene of the 1980s in the last several decades in the regional media- and memoryscape, also against all “top-down” nationally driven restrictions, the afterlife, the reception, and reflection also score different elements and modes related to both the affect and memory, and to the Yugoslav legacies – such as retro-utopia, neostalgia, or Yugo-futurism, and New Yugoslavism – neologisms all coined by or directly applied to the actors of the actual scene. The paper highlights several reflections on Yugo-nostalgia and the utopian and futuristic articulation of both the socialist past and the post-socialist present, as well as the explicit (self-)referentiality regarding the YU Rock/New Wave production as represented and performed by one of its key actors, Disciplina Kicme, i.e. Disciplin a Kitschme, and its similar off projects. The band figures as one of the key representatives of the scene and of the Yugoslav supranational phenomenon. Thus, by looking into their work in the post-Yugoslav period, which combines the elements of nostalgia structurally and thematically, through performance, lyrics, symbols and aesthetics, the paper argues for the emancipatory use of nostalgia rather than a mere retrospective idealization and de-politicized re-branding, namely, as a critical reflection and as a tool to rethink the futures in time of the cancellation of the future.

description: A new approach to select a model for fitting to a seasonal daily average rainfall semi-variogram was developed in this study by interpolating rainfall using geostatistical methods. Using two deterministic algorithms (Thiessen polygon, THI and inverse distance weighting, IDW) and two geostatistical algorithms (ordinary kriging, ORK and universal kriging, UNK) based on a rain gauge network, a 20-year daily and annual rainfall time series was generated for the Zayandeh Rud Dam Basin (Isfahan, Iran). Seven models were fitted to the experimental semi-variogram. Evaluation criteria – root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient (R) – identified that the Gaussian model is the best fit to the experimental semi-variogram. The ORK and UNK algorithms performed better in generating data when network sizes of 27, 15 or 10 gauges were used, whereas THI produced better results at a network size of five gauges. The results show that increasing the number of gauges does not necessarily produce better estimates, and stochastic methods are more sensitive than deterministic algorithms to network size.

We present the general algebro-geometric method of construction of solutions of the equation. As an example we construct analogs of the multisoliton solutions for which the wave functions and the $τ$-function can be found using rational functions. Within the class of multisoliton solutions we isolate generalized breather-type solutions which have no direct counterparts in the complex field case.

description: At the beginning of the design and construction of the STAR Detector, the collaboration assigned a team of physicists and engineers the responsibility of coordinating the construction of the detector. This group managed the general space assignments for each sub-system and coordinated the assembly and planning for the detector. Furthermore, as this group was the only STAR group with the responsibility of looking at the system as a whole, the collaboration assigned it several tasks that spanned the different sub-detectors. These items included grounding, rack layout, cable distribution, electrical, power and water, and safety systems. This paper describes these systems and their performance.

Anemoia and the Vaporwave Phenomenon: the ‘New’ Aesthetic of an Imagined Nostalgia
Creators: name: Cantinelli, Lucas
Publisher: name: Imaginaires
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this article is to show how vaporwave music, which emerged exclusively through the Internet in the beginning of the 2010s, embodies the longing of a generation born in the 1990s and the 2000s for a time they hardly knew – if at all. Vaporwave music is a microgenre, a concept which, according to Anne H. Stevens and Molly C. O’Donnell, can refer to “digital musical phenomena” catering to a “niche” audience (2020: 1). Vaporwave relies heavily on sampling musical genres ranging from 1970s’ smooth jazz to 1980s’ Japanese city pop, and on drawing visual inspiration from the digital landscape of the 1990s. It cannot and should not be defined as a purely musical phenomenon; it is also an aesthetic and a language–as Georgina Born and Christopher Haworth explain, vaporwave “circulates more like a ‘meme’ than a music genre” (Born and Haworth, 2017: 80) and is “embraced not only as a cultural and social but as an aesthetic medium, visual as much as musical” (ibid 79). Vaporwave plays on different aspects of nostalgia – such as reflective and restorative nostalgia, two concepts defined by Svetlana Boym – and on an ambiguous rejection of the present. Through the case study of “mallsoft” music, a subgenre of vaporwave recreating as a nostalgic bubble the soundscape of the American mall of the 1980s and 1990s, this paper will develop the concept of “anemoia,” defined by John Koenig in a 2014 YouTube video entitled “Anemoia: Nostalgia For A Time You’ve Never Known.”

description: Visualization of large vector line data is a core task in geographic and cartographic systems. Vector maps are often displayed at different cartographic generalization levels, traditionally by using several discrete levels-of-detail (LODs). This limits the generalization levels to a fixed and predefined set of LODs, and generally does not support smooth LOD transitions. However, fast GPUs and novel line rendering techniques can be exploited to integrate dynamic vector map LOD management into GPU-based algorithms for locally-adaptive line simplification and real-time rendering. We propose a new technique that interactively visualizes large line vector datasets at variable LODs. It is based on the Douglas-Peucker line simplification principle, generating an exhaustive set of line segments whose specific subsets represent the lines at any variable LOD. At run time, an appropriate and view-dependent error metric supports screen-space adaptive LOD levels and the display of the correct subset of line segments accordingly. Our implementation shows that we can simplify and display large line datasets interactively. We can successfully apply line style patterns, dynamic LOD selection lenses, and anti-aliasing techniques to our line rendering.

description: Lyme borreliosis, recognized as one of the most important tick-borne diseases worldwide, has been increasing in incidence and spatial extent. Currently, there are few geographic studies about the distribution of Lyme borreliosis risk across China. Here we established a nationwide database that involved Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi) detected in humans, vectors, and animals in China. The eco-environmental factors that shaped the spatial pattern of B. burgdorferi were identified by using a two-stage boosted regression tree model and the model-predicted risks were mapped. During 1986−2020, a total of 2,584 human confirmed cases were reported in 25 provinces. Borrelia burgdorferi was detected from 35 tick species with the highest positive rates in Ixodes granulatus, Hyalomma asiaticum, Ixodes persulcatus, and Haemaphysalis concinna ranging 20.1%−24.0%. Thirteen factors including woodland, NDVI, rainfed cropland, and livestock density were determined as important drivers for the probability of B. burgdorferi occurrence based on the stage 1 model. The stage 2 model identified ten factors including temperature seasonality, NDVI, and grasslands that were the main determinants used to distinguish areas at high or low-medium risk of B. burgdorferi, interpreted as potential occurrence areas within the area projected by the stage 1 model. The projected high-risk areas were not only concentrated in high latitude areas, but also were distributed in middle and low latitude areas. These high-resolution evidence-based risk maps of B. burgdorferi was first created in China and can help as a guide to future surveillance and control and help inform disease burden and infection risk estimates.

description: The perception and portrayal of masculinity has morphed over time, leading to a modern classification of man, the Spornosexuals. Through a phenomenological research design, the lived experiences among Spornsexuals residing in the rural province of Southern Leyte, Philippines, were explored, with emphasis on the challenges and rewards upon their embodiment of masculinity, and the struggles they encountered in developing their ideal muscular physique. The coping mechanism exhibited by these individuals in handling the struggles they encountered in their day-to-day lives were uncovered. Their personification of masculinity is under the theory of Social Constructionism. A face-to-face, a semi-structured interview was employed to gather meaningful responses that were analyzed through Colaizzi's (1978) strategy. It was evident that despite the negative experiences they encountered upon reconstructing their physicality and expressing their masculinity, the rewards they gained, accompanied with their forward-looking motivations, continue to ignite their momentum in owning and expressing who they are. In general, Spornosexuals are unique individuals who need to be understood and embraced just like any other member of the society.

description: We present relations between Hirota-type bilinear operators, scalar products on spaces of symmetric functions and integrals defining matrix model partition functions. Using the fermionic Fock space representation, a proof of the expansion of an associated class of KP and 2-Toda tau functions $τ_{r,n}$ in a series of Schur functions generalizing the hypergeometric series is given and related to the scalar product formulae. It is shown how special cases of such $τ$-functions may be identified as formal series expansions of partition functions. A closed form exapnsion of $\log τ_{r,n}$ in terms of Schur functions is derived.

description: There is a growing need for fast and accurate methods for testing developmental neurotoxicity across several chemical exposure sources. Current approaches, such as in vivo animal studies, and assays of animal and human primary cell cultures, suffer from challenges related to time, cost, and applicability to human physiology. We previously demonstrated success employing machine learning to predict developmental neurotoxicity using gene expression data collected from human 3D tissue models exposed to various compounds. The 3D model is biologically similar to developing neural structures, but its complexity necessitates extensive expertise and effort to employ. By instead focusing solely on constructing an assay of developmental neurotoxicity, we propose that a simpler 2D tissue model may prove sufficient. We thus compare the accuracy of predictive models trained on data from a 2D tissue model with those trained on data from a 3D tissue model, and find the 2D model to be substantially more accurate. Furthermore, we find the 2D model to be more robust under stringent gene set selection, whereas the 3D model suffers substantial accuracy degradation. While both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, we propose that our described 2D approach could be a valuable tool for decision makers when prioritizing neurotoxicity screening.

description: The cosmological recombination history of lithium, produced during Big--Bang nucleosynthesis, is presented using updated chemistry and cosmological parameters consistent with recent cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements. For the popular set of cosmological parameters, about a fifth of the lithium ions recombine into neutral atoms by a redshift $z\sim 400$. The neutral lithium atoms scatter resonantly the CMB at 6708 Åand distort its intensity and polarization anisotropies at observed wavelengths around $\sim 300 μ$m, as originally suggested by Loeb (2001). The modified anistropies resulting from the lithium recombination history are calculated for a variety of cosmological models and found to result primarily in a suppression of the power spectrum amplitude. Significant modification of the power spectrum occurs for models which assume a large primordial abundance of lithium. While detection of the lithium signal might prove difficult, if offers the possibility of inferring the lithium primordial abundance and is the only probe proposed to date of the large-scale structure of the Universe for $z\sim 500-100$.

description: Farm Bill 2014 introduced yield exclusion option to exclude the catastrophic year yield from APH yield to mitigate its impact on lowering the insurance guarantee. With high prevalence of yield substitution for the low yield; yield exclusion offers another option for producers to choose to enhance their welfare. We take the case of two crops and counties with different risk profile and conducted a comparative analysis on welfare gain by these two options for yield and revenue protection insurance. Our analysis suggests that the yield exclusion provides the higher welfare gain to the producer and likely to replace yield substitution. However, yield substitution is still a valid option when yield exclusion does not change the effective coverage level enormously.

description: Differential cross sections of the reactions $(γ,π^\circπ^\circ)$ and $(γ,π^\circπ^++π^\circπ^-)$ have been measured for several nuclei ($^1$H,$^{12}$C, and $^{\rm nat}$Pb) at an incident-photon energy of $E_γ$=400-460 MeV at the tagged-photon facility at MAMI-B using the TAPS spectrometer. A significant nuclear-mass dependence of the $ππ$ invariant-mass distribution is found in the $π^\circπ^\circ$ channel. This dependence is not observed in the $π^\circπ^{+/-}$ channel and is consistent with an in-medium modification of the $ππ$ interaction in the $I$=$J$=0 channel. The data are compared to $π$-induced measurements and to calculations within a chiral-unitary approach.

description: Flood modelling inputs used to create flood hazard maps are normally based on the assumption of data stationarity for flood frequency analysis. However, changes in the behaviour of climate systems can lead to nonstationarity in flood series. Here, we develop flood hazard maps for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, under nonstationary conditions using extreme value analysis, a coupled 1D–2D model and high-resolution topographical data derived from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data. Our findings indicate that ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) and PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation) influence the magnitude and frequency of extreme rainfall, while global sea-level rise causes nonstationarity in local sea levels, having an impact on flood risk. The detailed flood hazard maps show that areas of high flood potential are located along river banks, with 0.60 km2 of the study area being unsafe for people, vehicles and buildings (H5 zone) under a 100-year return period scenario.

description: We present the analysis of a full-orbit, spectroscopic phase curve of the ultra hot Jupiter WASP-18b, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. We measure the planet's normalized day-night contrast as >0.96 in luminosity: the disk-integrated dayside emission from the planet is at 964+-25 ppm, corresponding to 2894+-30 K, and we place an upper limit on the nightside emission of <32ppm or 1430K at the 3-sigma level. We also find that the peak of the phase curve exhibits a small, but significant offset in brightness of 4.5+-0.5 degrees eastward. We compare the extracted phase curve and phase resolved spectra to 3D Global Circulation Models and find that broadly the data can be well reproduced by some of these models. We find from this comparison several constraints on the atmospheric properties of the planet. Firstly we find that we need efficient drag to explain the very inefficient day-night re-circulation observed. We demonstrate that this drag could be due to Lorentz-force drag by a magnetic field as weak as 10 Gauss. Secondly, we show that a high metallicity is not required to match the large day-night temperature contrast. In fact, the effect of metallicity on the phase curve is different from cooler gas-giant counterparts, due to the high-temperature chemistry in WASP-18b's atmosphere. Additionally, we compare the current UHJ spectroscopic phase curves, WASP-18b and WASP-103b, and show that these two planets provide a consistent picture with remarkable similarities in their measured and inferred properties. However, key differences in these properties, such as their brightness offsets and radius anomalies, suggest that UHJ could be used to separate between competing theories for the inflation of gas-giant planets.

As Night Turns to Mourning: YouTube’s Ahistoric Rave Archive
Creators: name: Cookney, Danny
Publisher: name: Imaginaires
Year: 2024

description: Often with little visual content aside from a static information sticker from the centre of a 12” vinyl record, electronic dance music releases from the late 1980s onwards are now widely available as YouTube uploads. Subsequently allowing for their embedding on other platforms/sites–including extensive crowdsourced music database Discogs–they go from literal records to digital approximations of the tracks that permeated UK nightlife since the emergence of acid house in the mid to late-1980s. Focusing on a sequence found within these recordings identified by Reynolds as “the Hardcore Continuum”, this paper examines how the documenting of rave culture on online platforms is feeding nostalgia. This can be expressed through user comments that centre on themes of loss. However, it is argued that this practice runs in parallel with a later generation of UK-based musicians who continue to draw influence from these earlier recordings. Three contemporary examples are considered in detail: Overmono (a production duo made up of brothers Ed and Tom Russell), Joy Orbison (real name Peter O’Grady) and Burial (the recording guise of William Bevan). Noting an influence of YouTube on some of their output, it also asks if this retrospectively informed approach is a direct response to our digitally connected present. While YouTube supposedly facilitates a portal to this pre-internet past, the chapter considers the platform as a space for reframing recordings as nostalgic yet ahistoric. It particularly looks to this practice of memorialisation in conjunction with its displacement of time.

description: Rural banditry is increasingly becoming one of the worst forms of domestic insurgencies affecting West African sub-region. The prevalence and severity of rural banditry has contributed to the rising increase of regional insecurity with a potential threat on regional integration of West Africa. With reference to Nigeria, this paper examines the nature and dynamics of rural banditry and its overall international security implications as well as describe how it inputs into West African states efforts towards regional security and integration. Using secondary sources of data, the study revealed that rural banditry is a resource-based conflict compounded by elite conspiracy, the primitive quest for wealth and general poverty situation which affected the people of West Africa. It has become a lucrative business accentuated by bad governance, political clientelism, the gradual disappearance of grazing lands and routes, urbanization, climate change, and absence of effective conflict resolution mechanisms. The paper revealed that rural banditry has gradually evolved into a sub-regional conflict with socio-economic and political implications on efforts towards West African security and integration. The study found that some of the implications of rural banditry with consequences on regional integration of West African include radicalization of youth, increase rate of youth unemployment and their subsequent involvement in illicit gun and narcotic drug trade across the sub-region, the emergence of a network of miscreants groups, gradual collapse of agricultural and livestock development with effects on income, trade and commerce, proliferation of small firearms and light weapons, bastardization of traditional institutions and hostile ethnic and tribal relations among ethnic groups, illegal migration and refugee problems across the sub-region as well as proliferation and networking of domestic insurgency groups threatening regional peace and stability of the sub-region. In this regard, the paper recommends a comprehensive review of regional security and integration initiatives, regional security and intelligence cooperation among security agencies of ECOWAS countries, increase surveillance and border security, awareness creation and dialogue among local communities as some of the ways of reducing the scourge of rural banditry across West African sub-region.

description: To end the long war in Afghanistan, the International Community has been making efforts to resolve the Afghan crisis peacefully by negotiation with the Taliban. China, being the neighbor of Afghanistan and emerging power, has a very important role to play. China also has the logic to engage with Afghanistan: Security of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region that is adjacent to Afghanistan border, economic interests including newly initiated Belt and Road initiative (BRI) and stop rival countries to get influence around the periphery of China. With the significant economic, political, and security contributions to Afghan governments, China is in the position to steer the Afghan governments to peace initiative. With implied support from China, the Taliban also have a positive attitude of China. Pakistan is also very supportive in molding the Taliban into a China-led peace initiative. With sagacious policies not to irk the interests of big powers, China is heading towards the positive direction in the resolution of the Afghan crisis amidst international support. China's way of handling all concerned parties is admiring. Till yet, the Afghan problem is unsolved, but China has been doing its best to end the long bloodshed in Afghanistan.

description: In this paper, relying on an experiment, we find that among all the student characteristics, only gender plays a significant role in determining the probability obtaining an onsite interview. Other things being equal, male students are much more likely to be invited for a job interview. In addition, the other characteristics of a female applicant, for example, excellence in academic performance, student leadership and strong English skill, cannot mitigate the female disadvantage.
