description: The factors of entrepreneurship development were presented based on the research carried out in micro-enterprises located in Łosice county. The study included 40 companies employing up to 9 workers. The aim of the study was to attempt to point out factors that may have an influence on running microenterprises and their developement due to the support they were provided by the institutions from their enterprise environment. The cooperation of the micro-enterprises with local government units and banks was taken into account. The studies indicate that entrepreneurs require from the local government high operation efficiency especially when it comes to the development and structure of the infrastructure (75%), which will provide a better functioning of their businesses. When it comes to the banking system, all the respondents cooperate with these institutions, because it is required by the law. The use of banking products and services supports and determines the activities of businesses to a large extent and for 60% of the respondents it is satisfactory and meets their expectations.

description: Together with F. Morel, we have constructed in \cite{CR, Cobord1, Cobord2} a theory of {\em algebraic cobordism}, an algebro-geometric version of the topological theory of complex cobordism. In this paper, we give a survey of the construction and main results of this theory; in the final section, we propose a candidate for a theory of higher algebraic cobordism, which hopefully agrees with the cohomology theory represented by the $¶^1$-spectrum $MGL$ in the Morel-Voevodsky stable homotopy category.

description: Geomorphologische Untersuchungen in der Lüneburger Heide, einer Altmoränenlandschaft im Bereich warthezeitlicher Eisrandlagen in NW-Deutschland, ergaben Hinweise auf Art und Ausmaß der überwiegend periglazialen Umformung des glazigenen Reliefs. Effekte der Umformung sind in Abhängigkeit vom Ausgangsrelief einerseits Talbildung, andererseits Einebnung. Die Taleintiefung bewirkte stellenweise Reliefverstärkung, die Einebnung dagegen Reliefverringerung um 10—15 m. Eine Einebnungsfläche wurde anhand eeminterglazialen Torfes und eines fossilen Bodens sowie mineralischer Sedimente als weichselzeitlich periglaziale Fußfläche datiert. Ihre Entstehung verdankt sie vorwiegend flächenhaften Abflußvorgängen, bei denen Hohlformen aufgefüllt und Kuppen eingeebnet wurden. Die Untersuchung und Kenntnis der periglazialen Umformung kann wichtige Beiträge zur Klärung der Morphogenese der Altmoränengebiete leisten.

description: Using a statistical model of multiparticle production by Chou, Yang and Yen, which looks similar to the thermal model and is known to account for the single particle distributions in e$^+$ e$^-$ collisions, we fit the rapidity and transverse mass spectra of pions and kaons measured in Pb+Pb collisions by NA49 collaboration. This model nicely fits both the rapidity and the transverse mass spectra of each particle species with a few parameters. However, fitting all the particles with a single value of $T_p$ is not possible. This analysis shows that the success of the thermal models does not necessarily mean the thermalization of the system in collision.

description: The dearth of clean textual data often acts as a bottleneck in several natural language processing applications. The data available often lacks proper case (uppercase or lowercase) information. This often comes up when text is obtained from social media, messaging applications and other online platforms. This paper attempts to solve this problem by restoring the correct case of characters, commonly known as Truecasing. Doing so improves the accuracy of several processing tasks further down in the NLP pipeline. Our proposed architecture uses a combination of convolutional neural networks (CNN), bi-directional long short-term memory networks (LSTM) and conditional random fields (CRF), which work at a character level without any explicit feature engineering. In this study we compare our approach to previous statistical and deep learning based approaches. Our method shows an increment of 0.83 in F1 score over the current state of the art. Since truecasing acts as a preprocessing step in several applications, every increment in the F1 score leads to a significant improvement in the language processing tasks.

description: The $η$-meson photoproduction cross sections have been measured on the C and Cu targets for the photon energies between 600 and 1100 MeV to investigate the behavior of the $S_{11}$(1535) resonance in a nucleus. The excitation functions of the cross section as well as the angular and momentum distributions of $η$-mesons are in quantitative agreement with the Quantum Molecular Dynamics (QMD) model calculations in which the $η$-meson emission processes other than the $S_{11}$(1535) resonance are also incorporated as proposed in the $η$-MAID model. It is shown that the excitation of the $D_{15}$(1675) resonance might play an important role for $E_γ>900$ MeV.

Ein Beitrag zur spätglazialen Vegetations- und Waldentwicklung im westlichen Salzachgletschergebiet

description: Von zwei spätglazialen Seen in der westlichen Drumlinlandschaft (440 m) und der westlichen Randmoränenlandschaft (600 m) des Salzachgletschers und aus einem Moor aus dem ehemals unvereisten Gebiet (700 m) zwischen Salzach- und Chiemseegletscher wurden die Sedimente und Torfe pollenanalytisch untersucht. Die Vegetationsentwicklung beginnt mit Pioniergesellschaften. Die Wiederbewaldung wird durch eine Salix-Juniperus-Hippophaë-Phase eingeleitet, der ein Baumbirkenvorstoß folgt. Der eindeutige Nachweis der älteren Tundrenzeit (I c) war nicht möglich. Im Alleröd waren geschlossene Wälder vorhanden. Die jüngere Tundrenzeit (III) war in 700 m Höhe einwandfrei nachzuweisen. Es kam zu einer starken Lichtung der Wälder. In den beiden Seeprofilen trat gegen Ende des Alleröds eine Störung in den Ablagerungen auf. Eine C14-Datierung zeigt eine Differenz von 600—700 Jahren, deren Ursache nicht geklärt werden konnte. Die Vegetations- und Waldentwicklung zeigt mit anderen Gebieten eine gute Übereinstimmung.

description: Following the novel introduced concept of the active carriers, this paper brings forward a technique toward the manipulability of an internally piezo-equipped active spherical carrier subjected to the progressive acoustic plane waves as the handling contactless asset. It is assumed that the piezoelectric part of the active carrier may be actuated as a bi-sectional body (i.e., two continuous hemispherical parts), with prescribed phase difference, and the polar position of the imaginary separating plane may be altered. This issue brings about an asymmetry in the dynamics of the problem which leads to emergence of position/frequency dependent acoustic radiation torque. It is obtained that as the carrier is excited by imposing harmonic voltage with the same amplitude and a $π$-radians phase difference,the zero-radiation force situation is obtained for a specific amplitude and phase of voltage as a function of frequency. This situation is treated as a criterion to determine the optimal amplitude of operation voltage. It is shown that the net force's direction exerted on the activated carrier may be steered along any desired orientation, assuming the fixed direction of the incident wave field. The explained method of excitation and controllability of the spatial position of the divisor plane can possibly be a breakthrough in acoustic handling of active carriers. Noticeably, by this new technique, the single beam acoustic based contact-free methods and their applications in association with the concept of active carriers are now one step forward.

description: The interface stability against small perturbations of the planar solid-liquid interface is considered analytically in linear approximation. Following the analytical procedure of Trivedi and Kurz (Trivedi R, Kurz W. Acta Metall 1986;34:1663), which is advancing the original treatment of morphological stability by Mullins and Sekerka (Mullins WW, Sekerka RF. J Appl Phys 1964;35:444) to the case of rapid solidification, we extend the model by introducing the local nonequilibrium in the solute diffusion field around the interface. A solution to the heat- and mass-transport problem around the perturbed interface is given in the presence of the local nonequilibrium solute diffusion. Using the developing local nonequilibrium model of solidification, the self-consistent analysis of linear morphological stability is presented with the attribution to the marginal (neutral) and absolute morphological stability of a rapidly moving interface. Special consideration of the interface stability for the cases of solidification in negative and positive thermal gradients is given. A quantitative comparison of the model predictions for the absolute morphological stability is presented with regard to experimental results of Hoglund and Aziz (Hoglund DE, Aziz MJ. Mat Res Soc Symp Proc 1992;205:325) on critical solute concentration for the interface breakdown during rapid solidification of Si--Sn alloys.

Kennzahlen für den Feinheitsgrad des Lösses

Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1955

description: Bei der Untersuchung des Lösses spielt die Korngrößenzusammensetzung eine wesentliche Rolle, da man aus der Änderung der Körnung bzw. aus der Feinheit wichtige Schlüsse auf die Entstehung des äolischen Sedimentes ziehen kann. Bei der Ermittlung von Unterschieden in der Feinheit mußte man sich bisher darauf beschränken, einzelne Fraktionen untereinander zu vergleichen. Dieses Verfahren konnte natürlich zu keinen exakten Ergebnissen führen. Die beschriebene Methode erlaubt nun, den Feinheitsgrad in einer einzigen Zahl, der sog. Kennzahl anzugeben. Mit Hilfe der aus den Gewichtsprozenten schnell zu errechnenden Kennzahlen, die allerdings keine absoluten, sondern relative Werte darstellen, ist es möglich, die Änderungen des Feinheitsgrades quantitativ zu erfassen und in Abhängigkeit von anderen Faktoren graphisch darzustellen. An mehreren Beispielen wird die Anwendung der Kennzahlen näher erläutert. Bei zwei Lößprofilen konnte durch die Kennzahlen eine Abnahme der Feinheit von unten nach oben nachgewiesen werden. Ob dies auch bei anderen Lößprofllen der Fall ist, müssen weitere Untersuchungen zeigen. An drei anderen Beispielen wurde die Änderung der Feinheit mit der Entfernung vom Auswehungsgebiet untersucht. In den drei Gebieten nimmt die Feinheit mit der Entfernung zu und zwar steigt der Feinheitsgrad linear mit dem Logarithmus der Entfernung. Die schnellste Zunahme des Feinheitsgrades erfolgt in der Randzone des Auswehungsgebietes, wo infolgedessen auch die größten Lößmächtigkeiten angetroffen werden. Die Zunahme der Feinheit vom Auswehungs- bis in das Ablagerungsgebiet kann durch eine einzige Kurve zum Ausdruck gebracht werden.

description: We present a reformulation of gauge theories in terms of gauge invariant fields. Focusing on Abelian theories, we show that the gauge and matter covariant fields can be recombined to introduce new gauge invariant degrees of freedom. Starting from the $(1+1)$ dimensional case on the lattice, with both periodic and open boundary conditions, we then generalize to higher dimensions and to the continuum limit. To show explicit and physically relevant examples of the reformulation, we apply it to the Hamiltonian of a single particle in a (static) magnetic field, to pure abelian lattice gauge theories, to the Lagrangian of quantum electrodynamics in $(3+1)$ dimensions and to the Hamiltonian of the $2d$ and $3d$ Hofstadter model. In the latter, we show that the particular construction used to eliminate the the gauge covariant fields enters the definition of the magnetic Brillouin zone. Finally, we briefly comment on relevance of the presented reformulation to the study of interacting gauge theories.

description: Various descending chains of subgroups of a finite permutation group can be used to define a sequence of `basic' permutation groups that are analogues of composition factors for abstract finite groups. Primitive groups have been the traditional choice for this purpose, but some combinatorial applications require different kinds of basic groups, such as quasiprimitive groups, that are defined by properties of their normal subgroups. Quasiprimitive groups admit similar analyses to primitive groups, share many of their properties, and have been used successfully, for example to study $s$-arc transitive graphs. Moreover investigating them has led to new results about finite simple groups.

description: We illuminate the importance of a self-consistent many-body treatment in calculations of vacuum polarization corrections to the energies of atomic orbitals in many-electron atoms. Including vacuum polarization in the atomic Hamiltonian causes a substantial re-adjustment (relaxation) of the electrostatic self-consistent field. The induced change in the electrostatic energies is substantial for states with the orbital angular momentum $l &;gt; 0$. For such orbitals, the relaxation mechanism determines the sign and even the order of magnitude of the total vacuum polarization correction. This relaxation mechanism is illustrated with numerical results for the Cs atom.
title: An investigation into fatigue following traumatic brain injury
Creators: name: Pedroza, Catharine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Design This is a cross-sectional study involving quantitative measures and qualitative interviews. Participants Sixteen brain injured men and four brain injured women participated. Eighteen of these had a close relative who also took part. Measures In addition to being interviewed, brain injured participants completed questionnaires on mood symptoms and fatigue, and a speed of information processing task. Relatives of brain injured people were interviewed and completed the symptom checklist. Correlational analysis was applied to the quantitative measures and- qualitative analysis was informed by the grounded theory approach. Results Quantitative measures suggest significant association of subjective perception of fatigue severity with mood and brain injury related symptoms. Relatives' objective perceptions of brain injured relatives' symptoms correlated significantly with subjective views. Subjective perception of fatigue did not correlate significantly with severity of brain injury or information processing speed. Qualitative analysis identified fatigue as a major problem for some people. Descriptions noting the impact of fatigue following injury included increased slowness, decreased energy, and lack of control. Fatigue was commonly considered to be more mental than physical, and was often linked with short temper. Conclusions Findings suggest that fatigue was related less to severity of injury than to psychological and emotional factors. The multidimensional nature of fatigue was confirmed. Links were made with low-mood, anxiety, lack of motivation, boredom, and having to cope with 'normal life' following brain injury. The possibility that 'fatigue' is an umbrella term used by some to describe a range of symptoms following brain injury was considered.

title: Alteration in taste perception and its relationship with nutritional status and quality of life in patients with advanced cancer
Creators: name: Pattison, Ruth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Conducted within the hospice setting, this unique study assessed the prevalence of altered taste perception and its potential relationship with nutritional status in a group of 56 advanced cancer patients who had not received any recent radiotherapy or chemotherapy, compared to 46 age matched healthy controls. An assessment was made of the impact of altered taste perception on quality of life in this group of cancer patients. Taste perception was objectively measured using the International standard for sensory appraisal (lSOI991) and nutritional status assessed using upper arm anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, weight and hand grip dynanometry. A 3-day weighed intake technique was used to estimate dietary intake, and quality of life assessment was based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (Zigmund and Snaith, 1983). Results indicate that cancer patients exhibited lower 'bitter' thresholds (increase bitter taste sensitivity) compared to age matched controls an effect which was not related to tumour type. Results of this study also highlight the impact that changes in taste perception have on quality of life, which is pivotal in the appropriate management of altered taste perception in palliative care. Heightened olfactory perception was also evident in cancer patients exhibiting heightened gustatory perception. Biochemical analysis suggests that Tumour Necrosis Factor a and associated acute phase response may be associated with increased bitter taste sensitivity. Within the cancer group, heightened bitter perception was associated with a reduced protein intake. These results have demonstrated that in a terminally ill group, dietary management should focus on altered taste perception, aiming to maximise quality of life. Based on these results, a 4-week intervention was undertaken using omega 3 fatty acid (fish oil capsules) in a subsequent group of advanced cancer patients, aimed at manipulating the acute phase response and TNFα production. This demonstrated no changes in taste perception. However, the intervention was associated with attenuation of weight loss and an alteration in fatty acid composition of lipid membrane. These preliminary results suggest the value of further studies to investigate the effects of omega 3 fatty acids on taste perception and other associated symptoms in cancer patients. Moreover, the challenges to recruitment and retention of patient in studies in the terminally ill are highlighted.

description: The production of a charged lepton (e/mu) pair with a large missing energy at a linear collider is discussed as a means of distinguishing the minimal supersymmetry (MSSM) scenario from that with large extra dimensions (ADD) for parameter ranges where the total cross sections are comparable for both. Analyses in terms of event shape variables, specifically sphericity and thrust, are shown to enable a clear discrimination in this regard.

description: We present XMM-Newton RGS observations of the soft X-ray spectrum of NGC 4051, and explore their implications for the inner accretion disk and ionized outflow in the active galactic nucleus. We fit the soft X-ray excess with a relativistically broadened O VIII recombination spectrum, including the entire line series and recombination continuum. This plus an underlying power law continuum provides a much better fit to the soft X-ray spectrum than a single temperature or disk blackbody plus power law. The emission line profiles, computed for a Kerr metric around a maximally rotating black hole, reveal a sharply peaked disk emissivity law and inner radius smaller than 1.7 R_G. The spectrum also includes narrow absorption and emission lines from C, N, O, Ne, and Fe in an ionized outflow. Outflow column densities are relatively low and do not create significant edges in the spectrum. The small amount of absorption bolsters confidence in the detection of relativistic emission line features. The narrow-line emitter has a large (76%) global covering fraction, leading to strong forbidden lines and filling in of the resonance absorption lines. We also find broad C VI Ly-alpha and very broad O VII emission from the broad-line region. The narrow and broad-line regions span large ranges in ionization parameter, and may arise in a disk outflow. The ionized absorber has a large ionization range which is inconsistent with pressure equilibrium in a multiphase medium. The mass outflow rate exceeds the accretion rate by a factor of one thousand.

description: This study analyses some neologisms that were created by some Nigerian users of English language as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic. The theoretical framework considered for this study is van Dijk’s Context Models and Lieb’s Process Model of Words Formation. A corpus of one hundred and ninety-five neologisms were selected from social media, electronic media, print media, and participants’ observation, particularly between February and December, 2020. The study identifies six discursive contexts: context of preventive protocols, context of identifying the condition, context of treatment, context of enforcement of restriction order, context of supportive measure, and context of corruption. The findings further reveal that the discursive contexts are indexed by acronyms, simple words, compound words, blended words, clipped words, unusual collocations, and phrasal/clausal creations. The creations were meant to describe the consequential circumstances in the health emergency in the Nigerian sociolinguistic milieu. The linguistic implications include the fact that the resources of English as Second Language (ESL) in Nigeria are rich enough to attend to the communication exigencies of the non-native speakers. The study concludes that the neologisms were devised by the interlocutors for the purposes of public enlightenment, expression of hope and collaboration, and to solicit general compliance with the preventive and treatment protocols in order to flatten the COVID-19 curve.

description: We outline briefly results and examples related with the bijectivity of the norm residue homomorphism. We define norm varieties and describe some constructions. We discuss degree formulas which form a major tool to handle norm varieties. Finally we formulate Hilbert's 90 for symbols which is the hard part of the bijectivity of the norm residue homomorphism, modulo a theorem of Voevodsky.
title: HIV positive black African women: attitudes to HIV, disclosure and psychological well-being
Creators: name: Onwumere, Juliana
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Objective: Using a sample of 56 HIV positive black African women, the study sought to explore the attitudes a HIV positive individual held towards persons with HIV and what the same individuals perceived the attitudes of their community to be towards individuals with HIV. The study also examined issues surrounding disclosure of HIV status and determined levels of psychological well being and health related quality of life. Design: A one group, cross sectional design, was used. Methods: Seven questionnaires were completed by the sample. In addition a small sub sample was interviewed about the factors affecting disclosure. Results: Respondents reported moderately liberal attitudes towards persons with HIV but perceived the community attitudes to be less liberal than their own. They had higher levels of HIV related mental distress, lower levels of support and poorer health related quality of life in comparison to other HIV samples. A mixture of social and psychological factors predicted mental health related quality of life and HIV distress. Disclosure decisions were considered to be affected by a range of factors including stigma management and the need to achieve psychological well being. Conclusions and implications: The results were discussed in terms of previous research. Implications for HIV positive African women were considered, with particular reference to the need for more cross culturally appropriate research.
Spätglaziale äolische Ablagerungen in einigen Mittelgebirgen Hessens

description: Aus den Hochlagen von Vogelsberg, Taunus und Rhön werden äolische Ablagerungen beschrieben, die — wie mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit angenommen werden darf — durch Westwinde angeweht worden sind. Es handelt sich nicht um ferntransportiertes Material, sondern jeweils um eine Lokalfazies, was aus der Abhängigkeit der Körnung und des Mineralgehaltes von den Gesteinen der unmittelbaren Umgebung hervorgeht. Auf Grund von Besonderheiten des Substrates, des an mehreren Stellen des Hohen Vogelsberges aufgefundenen Humushorizontes und der von der Morphologie abhängigen Verbreitung werden die geringmächtigen Deckschichten dem Spätglazial, und zwar der Jüngeren Tundrenzeit, zugewiesen. Das Klima dieses Zeitabschnittes hatte also in den Hochlagen der genannten Gebirge einen periglazialen Charakter.

description: This paper analyses the influence of geographic distance on knowledge flows, measured through citations to scientific publications. Previous works using the same approach are limited to single disciplines. In this study, we analyse the Italian scientific production in all disciplines matured in the period 2010-2012. To calculate the geographic distances between citing and cited publications, each one is associated with a "prevalent" territory on the basis of the authors' affiliations. The results of the application of a gravity model, estimated using ordinary least squares regression, show that despite the spread of IT, geographic distance continues to be an influential factor in the process of knowledge flows between territories. In particular, the analysis reveals that the effect of geographic distance on knowledge flows is significant at the national level, not negligible at the continental level, but completely irrelevant at the intercontinental level.

description: This study examines household’s food insecurity and the extent of future vulnerability in Amhara region, using WMS and HCES of CSA. Calorie method was employed to determine food insecurity. In addition to descriptive statistics, GLS application for vulnerability and the Logit models was used to analyze the data. The Results indicates that, demand side factor related to socio economic factors like family sizes, education, consumption, employment opportunities and asset ownership was a significant predictor of vulnerability and food insecurity. In rural areas, supply side factors like farm inputs and farm size are also related to food insecurity. Empirical finding also shows that idiosyncratic health-related shocks, covariate economic and environmental shocks have larger impact on vulnerability to food insecurity. Moreover, future vulnerability of households is highly related with current food insecurity, but not uni-directional, particularly in rural areas. Socio- Economic and location differences were also observed in the intensity of vulnerability. It shows that both transitory and chronic food insecurity are highly prevalent in rural areas. The results imply that education, diversification of livelihoods and resources which will raise consumption, will be crucial in attainment of food security. It also strongly supports promotion of family planning; enhancing livestock packages, creation of employment opportunities, delivery of targeting aid for needy groups and input access by the poor in the study area. Managements of hazards and risks adequately which enable the poor to escape from vulnerability are immensely vital. Overall, it showed that reducing vulnerability and attaining food security in the region requires adoption of mixed strategies and policies.

description: Newspaper editorials (NPEs) provide a platform for a newspaper editor or any person directed by the editor to express the opinion of the newspaper on a particular subject. Previous studies on NPEs have focused more on framing and rhetorical features, but have not significantly explored stance taking and pragmatic strategies in newspaper editorials on herdsmen and farmers crises in Nigeria. The subjective stance taking and pragmatic strategies in NPEs on herdsmen and farmers crises in Nigeria were examined to establish the editors’ opinion on the crises in Nigeria. Two editorials on January, 2018 herdsmen attacks in Benue State, one for each from two widely read newspapers: The Punch and ThisDay were purposively sampled. The study adopted stance theory and multimodal discourse analysis as its theoretical framework. The findings revealed that four stance types occur in the data, namely, epistemic, evaluative, evidential, and affective stance. These stance types were projected by eight pragmatic strategies: indirect condemnation, blunt condemnation, strategic use of numbers, appeal to emotions, evocation of antecedent, revelation of facts, visual representation, and quoting authority. The study concluded that a combined study of stance taking and pragmatic strategies in newspaper editorials on herdsmen and farmers crises 2 would contribute to a better understanding of newspapers’ positions on national issues, and provide insights into ways of resolving conflicts in Nigeria
Schwerminerale vulkanischer Herkunft in quartären Flußablagerungen der Weser und Leine
Creators: name: Henningsen, Dierk
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1980

description: Quartäre Flußsedimente der Weser und Leine enthalten reichlich Schwerminerale vulkanischer Herkunft (vor allem Augite und Oxyhornblende). Diese Minerale nehmen von S nach N, meist auch mit zunehmendem Alter der Sedimente ab; sie lassen sich bis In Ablagerungen des ältesten Quartärs zurückverfolgen. Als Lieferanten werden hauptsächlich intensive Tulfausbrüche angenommen, die während des Altquartärs in der Eifel, daneben vielleicht auch an anderen Ausbruchstellen erfolgt sein müssen. Seitdem sind vulkanische Schwerminerale in den Böden, die den Flüssen zur Abtragung zur Verfügung stehen und gestanden haben, in großen Mengen vorhanden.

description: Aeschynomene is a principally tropical genus with native American species distributed from 40°N to 35° along the Atlantic coast and from 28°N to 17°S on the Pacific coast. There are about 160 species but cultivars have been released only from americana (Aa; 'Glenn') and falcata (»Bargoo'). Bargoo is a spreading, prostrate, perennial adapted to infertile, well-drained sites. Glenn and Florida common Aa are upright annuals adapted to seasonally-flooded areas. Aa has been evaluated and used commercially to a greater degree than other species. Studies have shown that Aa plant hight at first defoliation is critical, and plant should be clippled or grazed when 30 to 40 cm tall to increase vigor, leafiness, and nutritive value of regrowth. Crude protein and in vitro digestibility of 20 and 70% have been observed for the grazed portion of well-managed Aa swards. Over 3 yr in Florida, steers gained 0.7 kg d- 1 on grass-Aa pastures. Although used commercially in Florida, major limitations of Aa are that it is an annual and drought-induced stand failures are common.

description: New ALMA CO, HCO+, and 100 GHz continuum observations and Gemini NIFS K-band spectra are combined with previous radio to X-ray data to study Feature i, a highly luminous starburst clump on an outer arm of the interacting galaxy NGC 2207. This clump has an optically-opaque dust cone extending out of its 170 pc core. The measured CO accounts for the dark cone extinction if almost all the gas and dust there is in front of the star clusters. An associated approaching CO outflow has v_z ~ 16 km/s, an estimated molecular mass 8 x 10^6 Msun, and rises to heights ~ 0.9 kpc. A receding CO outflow on the far side with v_z ~ 28 km/s is less extensive. The observed star formation in the core over 10 Myr can supply the dark cone kinetic energy via supernovae and stellar winds. Other signs of intense activity are variable radio continuum suggesting an embedded supernova or other outburst, X-ray emission, and Br-gamma and He I lines with 82 km/s line widths. According to previous models, the retrograde encounter suffered by NGC 2207 caused loss of angular momentum. This compressed its outer disk. We suggest that the resulting inward crashing gas stream hit a massive HI cloud as it was being compressed by a spiral density wave and triggered the observed starburst.

description: Tropical pasture legumes of the genus Centrosema and Stylosanthes have been evaluated in past years in contrasting regions of Costa Rica. More recently, a large number of accessions terminated a 2-year cutting period in humid, subhumid and seasonal tropical forest sites. The latter is characterized by acid soils (pH 4.6) and high Al concentration, while acidity is moderately in the others (pH 5.5 to 5.9). Site x species interaction was significant (P < 0.05) in terms of monthly dry matter yields (MDM), and with the exceptions of £. pubescens• site x accession interaction was also significant for all other species. Adaptation, measured as total MDM, was significantly high (P < 0.05) in humid tropics for all species. The accessions CIAT 5189, 5172, 438 and 442 of £. pubescens adapted similarly in both subhumid and seasonal forest; the same occurred for the accessions CIAT 184, 21 and 136 of cruianensis. this species showed the widest range of adaptation. £. acutifolium CIAT 5568 outyield CIAT 5277 (393 and 167 kg MDM respectively), while accessions CIAT 5735, 5674, 5065, 5452 And 5733 of Q. macrocaroum produced higher yields in conditions of subhumid tropics as compared to seasonal forest, due mainly to high incidence of foliar diseases (Cercospora. Cylindrocladium and bacteriosis) in the latter site.
