description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An individual based model with a mechanistic foraging routine was used to simulate growth rates and prey selection on Georges Bank in May 1993 and 1994. Extensive observations of the zooplankton field, and the hydrography were used as forcing of the model, and the results were compared to field data and earlier modeling results. The observed growth rates were higher in 1993 compared to 1994 despite higher total biomass in the water column in 1994. The modeled growth rates were within the standard deviation of the observations but highest in 1994, with evidence of strong depth-dependence. Highest growth rates are found in the surface layer (upper 20 meters), and correspond to the region of highest abundance of observed larval cod. Prey selectivity was estimated using Chesson’s alpha index and compared to stomach content analyses. The results indicate that Pseudocalanus spp., Oithona spp. and Centropages spp. have the highest abundance and are within the size range that 7mm larvae could ingest based on the model. However, stomach content analyses reveal that Centropages were seldom found in the stomach of these larvae, suggesting that Centropages are not a preferred prey for these larvae.

description: The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a basic variability mode in the Northern Hemisphere, undergoes changes in its temporal and spatial characteristics, with significant implications on European climate. In this paper, different NAO flavors are distinguished for winter in simulations of a Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean GCM, using Self-Organizing Maps, a topology preserving clustering algorithm. These flavors refer to various sub-forms of the NAO pattern, reflecting the range of positions occupied by its action centers, the Icelandic Low and the Azores High. After having defined the NAO flavors, composites of winter temperature and precipitation over Europe are created for each one of them. The results reveal significant differences between NAO flavors in terms of their effects on the European climate. Generally, the eastwardly shifted NAO patterns induce a stronger than average influence on European temperatures. In contrast, the effects of NAO flavors on European precipitation anomalies are less coherent, with various areas responding differently. These results confirm that not only the temporal, but also the spatial variability of NAO is important in regulating European climate.

description: Using novel instrumentation to combine extreme conditions of intense pulsed magnetic field up to 60~T and high pressure up to 4~GPa, we have established the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field - pressure - temperature phase diagram of a pure stoichiometric heavy-fermion antiferromagnet (CeRh$_2$Si$_2$). We find a temperature- and pressure-dependent decoupling of the critical and pseudo-metamagnetic fields, at the borderlines of antiferromagnetism and strongly-correlated paramagnetism. This 3D phase diagram is representative of a class of heavy-fermion Ising antiferromagnets, where long-range magnetic ordering is decoupled from a maximum in the magnetic susceptibility. The combination of extreme conditions enabled us to characterize different quantum phase transitions, where peculiar quantum critical properties are revealed. The interest to couple the effects of magnetic field and pressure on quantum-critical correlated-electron systems is stressed.

description: Bovine anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease with zoonotic potential, caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Anaplasma marginale. The disease is distributed worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. The economic losses from anaplasmosis in animals is of significant importance because it causes severe morbidity and mortality in cattle. Recovered animals may become persistent carriers. Epidemiological information on the actual status of bovine anaplasmosis in Egypt is scarce. Thus, this study aimed to determine anti-Anaplasma antibody and DNA in serum samples using ELISA and PCR, respectively. In total, 758 bovine sera were collected from cattle farms located in 24 Egyptian governorates in 2015 to 2016. Sera were analyzed with the commercially available ‘Anaplasma antibody competitive ELISA v2’ kit and ‘AmpliTest Anaplasma/Ehrlichia spp. real time TaqMan TM PCR. Anaplasma spp. antibodies were detected in 140 (18.5%) (CI: 15.8–21.4%) of the investigated sera by ELISA, and Anaplasma/Ehrlichia-DNA was detected in 40 (5.3%) (CI: 3.8–7.1%) of the positive sera by real time PCR. Co-detection of both Anaplasma spp. and Coxiella burnetii-specific antibodies was proven in 30 (4%) of the investigated sera. The results of this work confirm the significant prevalence of bovine anaplasmosis in Egypt. Raising awareness in decision makers of the public health, veterinarians and animal owners is required to reduce the spread of infection.

description: Information Literacy (INFOLIT) in university academic services, libraries and learning resources centers is a training requirement that ought to be offered to personnel at diverse levels and through several approaches. In order to achieve excellent outcomes, the INFOLIT program leader must have good knowledge of models, standards and good practices in order to offer adequate skills and attitude sets in term of communication, technology, documentation and didactics. In light of its effectiveness in the realm of training and self-training, formal mentoring is a valuable organizational strategy university authorities can deploy. Librarians and academics wishing to be trained, as well as experienced trainers (mentors) and organizational training coordinators may grow into these competencies and thereby improve both process and outcomes of INFOLIT teaching-learning within the university.
La Alfabetización Informacional (ALFIN) es un requisito de formación que desde los servicios académicos y especialmente de las bibliotecas-CRAI de las universidades, se debe ofertar a todos sus miembros en distintas modalidades y niveles. Para lograr buenos resultados es necesario que los responsables de los programas de ALFIN, además de tener buenos conocimientos sobre esta temática (modelos, normas, buenas prácticas), ofrezcan adecuadas habilidades-actitudes comunicativas, tecnológicas, documentales y didácticas. La “mentorización” (mentoring) es una de las estrategias organizacionales que dichas instancias universitarias pueden asumir considerando su fortaleza como medio de formación y autoformación. El personal bibliotecario y el docente que aspire a ser formado (tutelado) por los formadores ya experimentados (mentores) y las personas a cargo de la formación organizacional (coordinadores) pueden crecer en dichas competencias, y así lograr mejores procesos y resultados de enseñanzaaprendizaje en los programas universitarios de ALFIN.

description: Linear polarization can be used as a probe of the existence of atmospheric condensates in ultracool dwarfs. Models predict that the observed linear polarization increases withthe degree of oblateness, which is inversely proportional to the surface gravity. We aimed to test the existence of optical linear polarization in a sample of bright young brown dwarfs, with spectral types between M6 and L2, observable from the Calar Alto Observatory, and cataloged previously as low gravity objects using spectroscopy. Linear polarimetric images were collected in I and R-band using CAFOS at the 2.2 m telescope in Calar Alto Observatory (Spain). The flux ratio method was employed to determine the linear polarization degrees. With a confidence of 3$σ$, our data indicate that all targets have a linear polarimetry degree in average below 0.69% in the I-band, and below 1.0% in the R-band, at the time they were observed. We detected significant (i.e. P/$σ$ $\le$ 3) linear polarization for the young M6 dwarf 2MASS J04221413+1530525 in the R-band, with a degree of $\mathrm{p^{*}}$ = 0.81 $\pm$ 0.17 %.

description: Testosterone is the main reproductive hormone in male vertebrates and conventional methods to measure testosterone rely on invasive blood sampling procedures. Here, we aimed to establish a non-invasive alternative by assessing testosterone metabolites (TMs) in fecal and urinary samples in mice. We performed a radiometabolism study to determine the effects of daytime and sex on the metabolism and excretion pattern of radiolabeled TMs. We performed physiological and biological validations of the applied EIA to measure TMs and assessed diurnal fluctuations in TM excretions in male and female mice and across strains. We found that males excreted significantly more radiolabeled TMs via the feces (59%) compared to females (49.5%). TM excretion patterns differed significantly between urinary and fecal samples and were affected by the daytime of ³H-testosterone injection. Overall, TM excretion occurred faster in urinary than fecal samples. Peak excretion of fecal TMs occurred after 8 h when animals received the 3H-testosterone in the morning, or after 4 h when they received the 3H-testosterone injection in the evening. Daytime had no effect on the formed TMs; however, males and females formed different types of TMs. As expected, males showed higher fecal TM levels than females. Males also showed diurnal fluctuations in their TM levels but we found no differences in the TM levels of C57BL/6J and B6D2F1 hybrid males. Finally, we successfully validated our applied EIA (measuring 17β-hydroxyandrostane) by showing that hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration increased TM levels, whereas castration reduced them. In conclusion, our EIA proved suitable for measuring fecal TMs in mice. Our non-invasive method to assess fecal TMs can be widely used in various research disciplines like animal behavior, reproduction, animal welfare, ecology, conservation, and biomedicine.

description: The Thomson optical depth from reionization is a limiting factor in measuring the amplitude of primordial fluctuations, and hence in measuring physics that affects the low-redshift amplitude, such as the neutrino masses. Current constraints on the optical depth, based on directly measuring large-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization, are challenging due to foregrounds and systematic effects. Here, we consider an indirect measurement of large-scale polarization, using observed maps of small-scale polarization together with maps of fields that distort the CMB, such as CMB lensing and patchy reionization. We find that very futuristic CMB surveys will be able to reconstruct large-scale polarization, and thus the mean optical depth, using only measurements on small scales.

description: This paper explores new notions of approximate minimality in set optimization using a set approach. We propose characterizations of several approximate minimal elements of families of sets in real linear spaces by means of general functionals, which can be unified in an inequality approach. As particular cases, we investigate the use of the prominent Tammer–Weidner nonlinear scalarizing functionals, without assuming any topology, in our context. We also derive numerical methods to obtain approximate minimal elements of families of finitely many sets by means of our obtained results.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Distribution of living plankton and ichthyoplankton in the water environment is characterized by aggregations of various quantitative density. The basic processes facilitating plankton patches formation and maintenance are 1) physical aggregation caused by interrelation between plankters behavior pattern and water circulation, 2) improvement of feeding conditions owing to nutrients inflow, 3) turbulence (Franks, 1992, Kirboe, MacKenzie , 1995, Schrum et al, 2003). In this article the impact of the geostrophic circulation on sprat eggs and larvae distribution and retention is considered due to the considerable inter-annual variability of sprat larvae abundance revealed in the Southeastern Baltic Sea. Taking in account the fact, that in spring-summer two pycnoclines exist in the Baltic Sea (one related to the seasonal thermocline in the surface layer and the second associated with the permanent halocline in the deep-water layer), the spatial-temporal variability of density gradients in these interfaces may be considered as an additional factor affecting ichthyolankton distribution.

Frequency dependence of the dynamic conductivity and behaviour of its static component (Drude weight) in the charge-density-wave (CDW) and superfluid (SF) phases are studied. Frequency dispersion of impedance and loss tangent is calculated; the Nyquist diagrams are built and analyzed.

Mit der Synkrisis zur Synthesis: Plutarch von Chaironea und Vergleichen in der Antike

Subjects: subject: 900

description: Das Working Paper zielt darauf ab, das synkritische Programm in den Doppelbiographien (Bioi Paralleloi) des griechischen Autors Plutarch (Wende 1./2. Jh. n. Chr.) zu fassen und als ideosynkratische Synthese verschiedenster antiker Vergleichspraktiken und Vergleichsformationen zu verstehen, wie sie seit Homer im Epos, in der Ethnographie, Historiographie, Philosophie, Rhetorik und Biographie zu greifen sind. In diesem Monumentalwerk stellt Plutarch 48 griechische und römische Persönlichkeiten gegenüber – die zentrale Bedeutung des Vergleichens zeigt sich aber nicht nur im kompositorischen Aufbau, sondern auch auf narratologischer Ebene, in einer formalen Vergleichung und in einer Vergleichssemantik, anhand derer der Autor das Vergleichen als Praxis sowie den einzelnen Vergleich mit der Wahl der comparata und tertia reflektiert. Plutarchs ethisches Programm, eine griechisch-römische Elite im Imperium Romanum politisch handlungsfähig zu machen, beruht auf der Annahme, dass die Welt durch den Vergleich wahrgenommen und über das Vergleichen Wissen produziert wird, das in Erkenntnis über das Selbst gerinnt.
description: The working paper aims to grasp the syncritical program in the Parallel Lives (Bioi Paralleloi) of the Greek author Plutarch (1st/2nd century CE) and to understand it as an ideosyncratic synthesis of the most diverse ancient comparative practices and comparative formations, as they can be found since Homer in epic poetry, ethnography, historiography, philosophy, rhetoric and biography. In this monumental work, Plutarch juxtaposes 48 Greek and Roman personalities – the central importance of comparison is evident not only in the compositional structure, but also on a narratological level, in a formal comparison and in comparative semantics, as the author reflects on comparison as a practice as well as the individual comparison with the choice of comparata and tertia. Plutarch's ethical program of making a Greco-Roman elite in the Imperium Romanum capable of political action is based on the assumption that perception is achieved through comparison and knowledge is produced through comparison, which turns into knowledge about the self.

description: We develop an effective surface theory for the surface states of a Weyl semimetal. This theory includes the peculiar Fermi arc states on the surface as well as leakage of the states from the surface to the bulk. Subjecting the model to a magnetic field perpendicular to the surface results in quantum oscillations. The oscillations are different from the usual ones since they do not involve a closed Fermi surface cross section. It has been shown previously that the Quantum oscillations can be understood semiclassically as resulting from motion of electrons on the surface Fermi arcs as well as tunneling through chiral Landau levels associated with the bulk. In this work we develop an effective surface theory and use it to analyze the quantum oscillation in the semiclassical regime and beyond. Specifically, we show that when a pair of Weyl points are close to each other the surface quantum oscillations acquire a phase offset which originates from the bulk. While the surface states are responsible for a large part of the electron motion, tunneling through the bulk is necessary for completing the orbit. This tunneling makes use of the bulk, zero energy, chiral Landau level in each Weyl node. When the nodes are close in momentum space their chiral levels overlap and a gap at zero energy is formed. This gap causes the phase offset in the surface quantum oscillations.

description: A chain of kinetic equations for non-equilibrium one-particle, two-particle and $ s $-particle distribution functions of particles which take into account nonlinear hydrodynamic fluctuations is proposed. The method of Zubarev non-equilibrium statistical operator with projection is used. Nonlinear hydrodynamic fluctuations are described with non-equilibrium distribution function of collective variables that satisfies generalized Fokker-Planck equation. On the basis of the method of collective variables, a scheme of calculation of non-equilibrium structural distribution function of collective variables and their hydrodynamic speeds (above Gaussian approximation) contained in the generalized Fokker-Planck equation for the non-equilibrium distribution function of collective variables is proposed. Contributions of short- and long-range interactions between particles are separated, so that the short-range interactions (for example, the model of hard spheres) are described in the coordinate space, while the long-range interactions --- in the space of collective variables. Short-ranged component is regarded as basic, and corresponds to the BBGKY chain of equations for the model of hard spheres.

description: Coherent light-matter interaction can be used to manipulate the energy levels of atoms, molecules and solids. When light with frequency ω is detuned away from a resonance ωo, repulsion between the photon-dressed (Floquet) states can lead to a shift of energy resonance. The dominant effect is the optical Stark shift (1/(ω0-ω)), but there is an additional contribution from the so-called Bloch-Siegert shift (1/(ωo+ω)). Although it is common in atoms and molecules, the observation of Bloch-Siegert shift in solids has so far been limited only to artificial atoms since the shifts were small (<1 μeV) and inseparable from the optical Stark shift. Here we observe an exceptionally large Bloch-Siegert shift (~10 meV) in monolayer WS2 under infrared optical driving by virtue of the strong light-matter interaction in this system. Moreover, we can disentangle the Bloch-Siegert shift entirely from the optical Stark shift, because the two effects are found to obey opposite selection rules at different valleys. By controlling the light helicity, we can confine the Bloch-Siegert shift to occur only at one valley, and the optical Stark shift at the other valley. Such a valley-exclusive Bloch-Siegert shift allows for enhanced control over the valleytronic properties in two-dimensional materials, and offers a new avenue to explore quantum optics in solids.

description: This paper presents different strategies from Cuba have been conducted to solve the digital divide, which despite its special conditions for applying the economic blockade the United States and the domestic policies of Internet access and use of living in this country, could be replicated and adapted in other Latin American contexts
Si entendemos la brecha digital como: "La situación de inequidad que se presenta en la era de la sociedad de la información entre continentes, países, regiones, comunidades, organizaciones y personas, al no tener niveles de acceso suficientes y adecuados a las TIC, y específicamente a la Internet con sus herramientas y servicios (Infraestructura Informacional); ni tener una formación crítica (Infoestructura informacional / Alfabetización Digital e Informacional) y un contexto social, cultural, político y económico (Socioestructura Informacional) que facilite una integración y uso estratégico de esta tecnología como medio de información y comunicación al que se debe tener derecho para lograr mejores condiciones de vida individuales y colectivas que posibiliten un desarrollo equitativo y sostenible" (URIBE, et al. 2008); y miramos la situación de Cuba a nivel de educación superior y sectores estratégicos (socio-productivos), se descubre que, a través de los actuales proyectos de intranets, repositorios, navegación-contenidos off line y programas de alfabetización digital e informacional, desde este país se está haciendo un esfuerzo muy valioso para evitar esta brecha, entendida como se indicó anteriormente; y a su vez, que dichas estrategias cubanas que responden a dificultades de Infraestructura, recursos computacionales, ancho de banda y facilidades generalizadas o no de acceso a Internet (producto de situaciones político-económicas específicas, de carácter externo e interno), pueden ser replicadas en otros contextos iberoamericanos, que aunque aparentemente no tendrían tantas dificultades como país, sí las presentan en determinadas regiones, comunidades, organizaciones y personas, y por ello, tales estrategias podrían ser adaptadas en esos otros contextos para en forma colaborativa hacer frente a la brecha digital y aprovechar la oportunidad digital, respondiendo paralelamente a la Infra, Info y Socioestructura Informacional como tríada necesaria e inseparable ante los retos de la sociedad de la información.

description: We construct a model for the Galactic globular cluster system based on a realistic gravitational potential and a distribution function (DF) analytic in the action integrals. The DF comprises disc and halo components whose functional forms resemble those recently used to describe the stellar discs and stellar halo. We determine the posterior distribution of our model parameters using a Bayesian approach. This gives us an understanding of how well the globular cluster data constrain our model. The favoured parameter values of the disc and halo DFs are similar to values previously obtained from fits to the stellar disc and halo, although the cluster halo system shows clearer rotation than does the stellar halo. Our model reproduces the generic features of the globular cluster system, namely the density profile, the mean rotation velocity. The fraction of disc clusters coincides with the observed fraction of metal-rich clusters. However, the data indicate either incompatibility between catalogued cluster distances and current estimates of distance to the Galactic Centre, or failure to identify clusters behind the bulge. As the data for our Galaxy's components increase in volume and precision over the next few years, it will be rewarding to revisit the present analysis.

description: In this paper, a reduced model of quasilinear diffusion by a small Larmor radius approximation is derived to couple the Maxwell's equations and the Fokker-Planck equation self-consistently for ion cyclotron range of frequency waves in a tokamak. The reduced model ensures the important properties of the full model by Kennel-Engelmann diffusion, such as diffusion directions, wave polarizations, and H-theorem. The kinetic energy change (W-dot) is used to derive the reduced model diffusion coefficients for the fundamental damping and the second harmonic damping to the lowest order of the finite Larmor radius expansion. The quasilinear diffusion coefficients are implemented in a coupled code (TORIC-CQL3D) with the equivalent reduced model of dielectric tensor. We also present the simulations of the ITER minority heating scenario, in which the reduced model is verified within the allowable errors from the full model results.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Valuable marine habitats and living resources can be found in the Eastern English Channel and in 2003, a Franco-British Interreg IIIA project, ‘Eastern Channel Habitat Atlas for Marine Resource Management’ (CHARM), was initiated to support decision-making for the management of essential fish habitats. Fish habitat corresponds to geographical areas within which ranges of environmental factors define the abundance of a particular species. Habitat Suitability (HS) modelling was used to relate fish spatial distribution to environmental factors, hence delineating their optimum habitat. This study was based on data obtained from 1988-2004 IFREMER’s Channel Ground Fish Survey and 1989-2004 CEFAS’ Beam Trawl Survey, including both species abundance and environmental data. A generic methodology allowing for the modelling of several fish species was developed including measures of fit and model validation techniques. In brief, habitat suitability modelling based on non-parametric multi-linear quantile regressions was used to relate species abundance to depth, temperature, salinity, seabed stress and sediment type. Backward selection resulted in HS models that described species affinity with a subset of significant environmental variables and that were used to map fish optimum habitats using GIS. Models were validated by comparing predicted abundances against abundance data that were not used in the modelling process. This work will help elaborating guidelines for the conservation and protection of natural habitats of marine living resources in the face of climate change and anthropogenic disturbances.
