description: This analysis proposes an analytical-numerical approach for providing solutions of a class of nonlinear fractional Klein-Gordon equation subjected to appropriate initial conditions in Caputo sense by using the Fractional Reduced Differential Transform Method (FRDTM). This technique provides the solutions very accurately and efficiently in convergent series formula with easily computable coefficients. The behavior of the approximate series solution for different values of fractional-order "a" is shown graphically. A comparative study is presented between the FRDTM and Implicit Runge-Kutta approach to illustrate the efficiency and reliability of the proposed technique. Our numerical investigations indicate that the FRDTM is simple, powerful mathematical tool and fully compatible with the complexity of such problems.

description: EXTENDED ABSTRACT: In 60 km southwest of Tabriz in East Azarbaijan province, a village with magnificent rock architecture has been formed. The most famous history of about 6,000 years, annually hosts more than 300,000 domestic and foreign tourists. The conical and pyramidal masses formed by the volcanic interactions of the Sahand mountain from thousands of years ago made it possible to settle on the slopes of this mountain. Today this type of landscape is seen in only two examples of the hills in the world (Cappadocia in Turkey, Dakota in the USA) with the advantage of Kandovan, that unlike the mentioned examples which have no inhabitants, the Iranian case is a touristic village and has more than 120 families with the living and working facilities. Exclusive architecture of Kandovan village along with its residents’ flow of life in its old texture form is considered as a unique phenomenon in the world, since, no one is found, anymore, to live in Cappadocia of Turkey or Dakota of U.S. Kandovan is a lively village built at the heart of rocks, and stone is the only structure of the village. The houses are in pyramid-form and some holes have been considered for livestock of the villagers. Certainly, the ultimate goal of the present article is considering the village as the pattern to its two similar cases, hoping that the authorities and responsible in the field of culture and tourism consider the village as a source of inspiration and take some steps compared to revival actions of the two exclusive cases since protecting historical and natural heritages has economic and cultural importance from the tourism perspective. Revival and introducing a progressive plan might be accompanied by the best positive cultural and economic results. This revival project, of course, has some certain dangers and potential threats for the elimination of historical and natural signs of the current texture, requiring a scientific and professional attitude and approach. The issue, which, unfortunately, has been ignored is that more than one decade attempts have been fruitless in registering the village in the UNESCO’s historical monuments’ list (unlike the other two above mentioned cases). In fact, modern human interferences in the form of unpermitted constructions have threatened historical signs and cultural value of the village. These are the barriers, which in the belief of UNESCO’s experts, should be eliminated. Hence, the lessons taken from Kandovan village should be noted and considered by authorities of cultural heritage and tourism industry responsible.

description: The screened Coulomb interaction between a pair of infinite parallel planes with spatially varying surface charge is considered in the limit of small electrical potentials for arbitrary Debye lengths. A simple expression for the disjoining pressure is derived in terms of a two dimensional integral in Fourier space. The integral is evaluated for periodic and random charge distributions and the disjoining pressure is expressed as a sum over Fourier-Bloch reciprocal lattice vectors or in terms of an integral involving the autocorrelation function respectively. The force between planes with a finite area of uniform charge, a model for the DLVO interaction between finite surfaces, is also calculated. It is shown that the overspill of the charge cloud beyond the region immediately between the charged areas results in a reduction of the disjoining pressure, as reported by us recently in the long Debye length limit for planes of finite width.

description: The high prevalence of lameness in US freestall dairy herds is both an animal welfare and an economic concern. To achieve a low prevalence of lameness, strategies to lower incidence need to be combined with methods to decrease duration. This requires rapid and effective methods to detect and treat lameness. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of 3 lameness detection strategies on the odds of cure of lameness.

description: Electrons in periodic potentials exhibit oscillatory motion in presence of an electric field. Such oscillations are known as Bloch oscillations. In this article we theoretically investigate the emergence of Bloch oscillations for systems where the electric field is confined to a finite region, like in typical electronic devices. We use a one-dimensional tight-binding model within the single-band approximation to numerically study the dynamics of electrons after a sudden switching-on of the electric field. We find a transition from a regime with direct current to Bloch oscillations when increasing the system size or decreasing the field strength. We propose a pump-probe scheme to observe the oscillations by measuring the accumulated charge as a function of the pulse-length.

description: We compare several risk preference elicitation methods – including incentivised, non-incentivised, and framed methods as well as a traditional Likert survey question – in a developing country and empirically test how well consequent measures of risk attitudes predict risk taking behaviour. We find that Likert scale and non-incentivised framed survey questions are not sufficient substitutes for costlier incentivised methods in rural Niger. Instead, the incentivised framed question works best while a simplified incentivised lottery question works almost as well. More risk and ambiguity averse farmers are less likely to adopt fertiliser microdosing indicating the importance of insurance and strategies to promote learning.

description: Solubility is not only a crucial physicochemical property for laboratory practice but also provides valuable insight into the mechanism of saturated system organization, as a measure of the interplay between various intermolecular interactions. The importance of these data cannot be overstated, particularly when dealing with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), such as dapsone. It is a commonly used anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent. However, its low solubility hampers its efficient applications. In this project, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were used as solubilizing agents for dapsone as an alternative to traditional solvents. DESs were composed of choline chloride and one of six polyols. Additionally, water–DES mixtures were studied as a type of ternary solvents. The solubility of dapsone in these systems was determined spectrophotometrically. This study also analyzed the intermolecular interactions, not only in the studied eutectic systems, but also in a wide range of systems found in the literature, determined using the COSMO-RS framework. The intermolecular interactions were quantified as affinity values, which correspond to the Gibbs free energy of pair formation of dapsone molecules with constituents of regular solvents and choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents. The patterns of solute–solute, solute–solvent, and solvent–solvent interactions that affect solubility were recognized using Orange data mining software (version 3.36.2). Finally, the computed affinity values were used to provide useful descriptors for machine learning purposes. The impact of intermolecular interactions on dapsone solubility in neat solvents, binary organic solvent mixtures, and deep eutectic solvents was analyzed and highlighted, underscoring the crucial role of dapsone self-association and providing valuable insights into complex solubility phenomena. Also the importance of solvent–solvent diversity was highlighted as a factor determining dapsone solubility. The Non-Linear Support Vector Regression (NuSVR) model, in conjunction with unique molecular descriptors, revealed exceptional predictive accuracy. Overall, this study underscores the potency of computed molecular characteristics and machine learning models in unraveling complex molecular interactions, thereby advancing our understanding of solubility phenomena within the scientific community.

description: Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) extend the concept of phase transitions and thus universality to the non-equilibrium regime. In this letter, we investigate DQPTs in a string of ions simulating interacting transverse-field Ising models. We observe non-equilibrium dynamics induced by a quantum quench and show for strings of up to 10 ions the direct detection of DQPTs by measuring a quantity that becomes non-analytic in time in the thermodynamic limit. Moreover, we provide a link between DQPTs and the dynamics of other relevant quantities such as the magnetization, and we establish a connection between DQPTs and entanglement production.

Associations between preventive hoof trimming, activity and resting behaviors

Year: 2016

description: Hoof trimming (HT) is a common procedure used to prevent and treat lameness, one of the most important economic and animal welfare diseases in the dairy industry. There is a paucity of research on the effects hoof trimming has on the 3 components of animal welfare: biological function, behavior, and affective states. Current behavioral research suggests hoof trimming causes a decrease in activity, an increase in resting time, and conflicting effects on locomotion. Unfortunately, in these studies, lame animals were included, and this limits the conclusion that can be made on the effect routine HT has on non-lame animals. It is important to evaluate lame and non-lame animals separately because lame animals are already displaying abnormal behavior. Determining the effect of routine hoof trimming on non-lame animals will increase animal health and welfare for dairy cattle by guiding future evaluations of routine HT techniques and HT strategies. The objective of this research was to determine the association between HT and activity and resting behaviors for non-lame cows.

description: The protection number of a plane tree is the minimal distance of the root to a leaf; this definition carries over to an arbitrary node in a plane tree by considering the maximal subtree having this node as a root. We study the the protection number of a uniformly chosen random tree of size $n$ and also the protection number of a uniformly chosen node in a uniformly chosen random tree of size $n$. The method is to apply singularity analysis to appropriate generating functions. Additional results are provided as well.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Japanese cupped oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is native to Japan and was introduced in Europe for commercial purposes in the early 1960’s. In France and in the south of the Netherlands, this species is now a very important cultured species. Initially, it was thought that the cold northern waters of the Netherlands would restrain the species’ reproduction and settlement but surprisingly C. gigas is reproducing and expanding in several estuaries, and has already been seen in northern Germany. This suggests that over time eco-physiological changes have occurred, indicating either phenotypic and/or genotypic plasticity. In order to understand how this species was able to invade northern habitats, the energy flow over growth and reproduction in C. gigas was studied along a latitudinal gradient from La Rochelle, France to Eastern Scheldt and Wadden Sea in the Netherlands. Overall, the French population had a lower body condition than the two Dutch populations had. Animals from the north of the Netherlands (Wadden Sea) showed the highest gonad mass ratio, although the smallest egg size. Since egg volume directly affects development time and hence reproductive success, we will present evidence that there is a trade off between egg size and larval development time. In fact, a clear latitudinal trend in egg size was found from France to the German Wadden Sea. We will discuss the results in the light of the different lifehistory strategies of each population in terms of energy allocation over growth and reproduction and we will postulate a hypothesis explaining how the Japanese oyster has passed from “an immigrant to a permanent member'.

We give the complete classification of the meridian surfaces with constant Gauss curvature and prove that there are no meridian surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field other than CMC surfaces lying in a hyperplane. We also classify the meridian surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field. We show that in the family of the meridian surfaces there exist Lorentz surfaces which have parallel normalized mean curvature vector field but not parallel mean curvature vector.

description: Optical control and manipulation of cold atoms has become an important topic in condensed matter. Widely employed are optical lattice shaking experiments which allow the introduction of artificial gauge fields, the design of topological bandstructures, and more general probing of quantum critical phenomena. Here we develop new numerical methods to simulate these periodically driven systems by implementing lattice shaking directly. As a result we avoid the usual assumptions associated with a simplified picture based on Floquet dynamics. A demonstrable success of our approach is that it yields quantitative agreement with experiment, including Kibble-Zurek scaling. Importantly, we argue that because their dynamics corresponds to an effective non-linear Schrödinger equation, these particular superfluid studies present a unique opportunity to address how general Floquet band engineering is affected by interactions. In particular, interactions cause instabilities at which the behavior of the system changes dramatically.

description: This thesis undertakes a holistic examination of constitutionalization and its effects on judicial performance in South Asia. The thesis focuses on India - the hegemonic power in the region - which is at the center of this development. It also examines constitutionalization in two of India's neighbors: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Overall, this thesis argues that, on balance, constitutionalization has done more harm than good to judicial performance both jurisprudentially and institutionally in South Asia. It concludes with recommendations as to how courts can improve the quality of their judgments, the impact of those judgments, and access to justice within this peculiar jurisprudential and institutional framework.

Ureaplasma and Myca plasma are also present, however, these bacteria are thought to be normal surface inhabitants of the male and female reproductive tract with occasional secondary pathological infections. The herd is deficient in copper, which has been associated with immune dysfunction. There is 1 other reported case of a bull with ulcerative penile lesions thought to be associated with pseudocowpox. It is possible that this is an emerging disease or a disease that has been underreported.

description: In recent years there has been a growing interest in the study of the dynamics of stochastic populations. A key question in population biology is to understand the conditions under which populations coexist or go extinct. Theoretical and empirical studies have shown that coexistence can be facilitated or negated by both biotic interactions and environmental fluctuations. We study the dynamics of $n$ populations that live in a stochastic environment and which can interact nonlinearly (through competition for resources, predator-prey behavior, etc.). Our models are described by $n$-dimensional Kolmogorov systems with white noise (stochastic differential equations - SDE). We give sharp conditions under which the populations converge exponentially fast to their unique stationary distribution as well as conditions under which some populations go extinct exponentially fast. The analysis is done by a careful study of the properties of the invariant measures of the process that are supported on the boundary of the domain. To our knowledge this is one of the first general results describing the asymptotic behavior of stochastic Kolmogorov systems in non-compact domains. We are able to fully describe the properties of many of the SDE that appear in the literature. In particular, we extend results on two dimensional Lotka-Volterra models, two dimensional predator-prey models, $n$ dimensional simple food chains, and two predator and one prey models. We also show how one can use our methods to classify the dynamics of any two-dimensional stochastic Kolmogorov system satisfying some mild assumptions.

description: The duration of postpartum anestrus is important to consider for reproductive momentum and efficiency in cow~calf operations. It is challenging to fully understand the long-term impacts that the average duration of postpartum anestrus has on production. We developed a deterministic model of cow-calf production over 10 years using the software program Stella Professional to model the effects that various postpartum anestrus lengths have on measures of herd productivity, including the percent of cows pregnant at pregnancy diagnosis and the pounds of calf weaned per cow exposed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Mackerel stock assessments are tuned using biomass estimates based on egg surveys of their spawning areas. Currently only stage I eggs are used in the biomass estimation because we have no knowledge on egg mortality. If mortality rates could be estimated accurately between egg stages it might be possible to improve the quality and accuracy of the biomass estimate by including the later stages in the analysis, which are currently ignored. In this study we show how this might be attempted using Birth-Death Process models. These are computed using the proportion of each egg stage in each sample coupled with information on egg stage duration with water temperature. We have used data from the ICES Triennial mackerel and horse mackerel egg surveys since 1977, and include spatial and temporal dependencies in the analysis of the mortality rates. We also show that mackerel egg mortality rates may be related to the level of egg production in a given year. The mortality levels estimated by the models were much higher than those suggested in the literature, typically around 0.61 per day, although it was not possible to directly estimate stage 1 mortality, as the original number of eggs spawned was not known. However, given that the biomass estimate assumes zero mortality in stage 1, it must be assumed that some of the eggs will die prior to being sampled. The implications of this for the biomass estimate from these surveys are discussed.

description: We investigate the effect of the incommensurate potential on Weyl semimetal, which is proposed to be realized in ultracold atomic systems trapped in three-dimensional optical lattices. For the system without the Fermi arc, we find that the Weyl points are robust against the incommensurate potential and the system enters into a metallic phase only when the incommensurate potential strength exceeds a critical value. We unveil the trastition by analysing the properties of wave functions and the density of states as a function of the incommensurate potential strength. We also study the system with Fermi arcs and find the Fermi arcs are sensitive against the incommensurate potential and can be destoryed by a weak incommensurate potential.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.To protect the main nursery area of plaice, an area called the “Plaice Box' was closed for trawl fisheries with large vessels in 1989, with the expectation that recruitment, yield and spawning stock biomass would increase. However, since then the plaice population declined and the rate of discarding outside the plaice box has increased, suggesting an offshore shift in spatial distribution of juvenile plaice. Using research vessel survey data collected since 1970, the change in distribution of juvenile age groups was analysed in relation to the distance to the coast. Further, a comparison of the distribution of different length classes of plaice between three historic periods was made (1902-09; 1983-87; 1999-2003). The available survey data clearly indicated changes in the spatial distribution of plaice. This shift particularly pronounced in the 20-29 cm and the 30-39 cm length classes. The offshore movement of juvenile plaice could be a response to the ambient temperature or food availability, a response to intra- or inter-specific competitors, or a response to predation risk. Since sole, which has higher optimum temperatures, did not show a shift in spatial distribution, the enhanced offshore movement of young plaice in the 1990s will be primarily a response to the increase in summer temperature.

The objective of this study is to characterize the commensal microbiome present in the lumen and the epimural surface of the duodenum of cattle, as we hypothesize that due to metabolic processes and/ or host proprieties, there are differences in the natural microbiota present in the epimural surface and luminal contents of the bovine duodenum.

description: The fossil record of the mayfly family Ephemerellidae is reviewed. Of previously described fossil Ephemerellidae, all records but one are doubtful or erroneous. We reinvestigate the holotype of Ephemerella viscata Demoulin, 1968 from Eocene Baltic amber and confirm its previous placement within the subfamily Timpanoginae Allen, 1984, based on the presence of vestigial gill sockets on abdominal segments IV–VII only. It is transferred to the genus Eurylophella Tiensuu, 1935 [Eurylophella viscata (Demoulin, 1968) comb. nov.] based on proportions of the forelegs, elongated abdominal segment IX, and the shape of the subimaginal penis. Additionally, we describe two new specimens from Eocene Baltic amber: Ephemerella trigonoptera sp. nov. represents the first fossil record of subfamily Ephemerellinae. It can be separated from other representatives of Ephemerella Walsh, 1862 sensu lato by the shape of the hind wings, which are remarkably narrowed towards the apex, with a costal projection located rather proximally. The second new specimen, a male subimago, cannot be differentiated from other Ephemerellinae due to its poor preservation. The discovery of Ephemerella trigonoptera sp. nov., together with the taxonomic reassessment of Eurylophella viscata comb. nov., provide the first reliable evidence that both subfamilies of Ephemerellidae, Ephemerellinae and Timpanoginae, date back at least to the Palaeogene. The biogeographical and palaecological implications of these findings are discussed. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:B520497A-B28C-44C9-98E6-BE45D99608A2

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.For Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua), there is much knowledge available concerning the main population dynamics processes (growth, maturation, fecundity, recruitment, natural mortality, fishing mortality). This knowledge is incorporated into a biologically detailed age-length structured population model. The model contains four population groups: EggsandLarvae, 0-group, immatures (age 1-10) and matures (age 4-12+). Recruitment to EggsandLarvae is modelled as a function of the number of mature fish and their population characteristics (length and weight), giving a fully closed life cycle. The model is implemented using the Gadget framework for population models, and the details of the implementation are described here. Results of fitting the population model to observations are presented. The utility of such a model in the assessment of current stock status and the exploration of harvest control rules is discussed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The impacts of environmental changes on life history parameters of marine mammals are poorly understood. This may be due to the large spatial scales that must be examined to describe environmental changes and their impacts on biological aspects of most species. Annual growth layers in the teeth of marine mammals have long been used to determine age of individual animals. In some species, changes in tooth structure also provide a record of life-history changes such as age at sexual maturity, or records of major climatic events eg El Nino. In this study, growth layer development in longitudinal sections (N=400) of Northwest Atlantic grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) canine teeth were examined. Age, sex, and a large scale environmental variable, Minimum Cold Intermediate Layer Temperature (MCILT) all had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the thickness of the first Growth Layer Group (GLG1), while only sex had a significant effect on the thickness of GLG2. GLG1 of males was thicker than that of females. In both sexes, GLG1 thickness declined with age. GLG1 thickness was standardized to remove the effects of age and sex and the resulting deviations were compared to changes in MCILT. During the time series (1965-1998), standardized GLG1 thickness was positively correlated with changes in MCILT (p<0.05). Correlations were also observed between fish stock biomass and MCILT. Grey seal pups begin entering the water during February-March at which time they must also learn to feed. Changes in GLG1 thickness likely reflect the foraging success of pups during their first year of nutritional independence. Although MCILT is only one measure of environmental conditions, changes in this factor have important ecosystem effects that can also be detected at higher trophic levels.
Photoinduced molecular chirality probed by ultrafast resonant X-ray spectroscopy

description: Recently developed circularly polarized X-ray light sources can probe ultrafast chiral electronic and nuclear dynamics through spatially localized resonant core transitions. We present simulations of time-resolved circular dichroism (TRCD) signals given by the difference of left and right circularly polarized X-ray probe transmission following an excitation by a circularly polarized optical pump with variable time delay. Application is made to formamide which is achiral in the ground state and assumes two chiral geometries upon optical excitation to the first valence excited state. Probes resonant with various K-edges (C, N and O) provide different local windows onto the parity breaking geometry change thus revealing enantiomer asymmetry.

description: An important indicator of modified gravity is the effect of the local environment on halo properties. This paper examines the influence of the local tidal structure on the halo mass function, the halo orientation, spin and the concentration-mass relation. We generalise the excursion set formalism to produce a halo mass function conditional on large-scale structure. Our model agrees well with simulations on large scales at which the density field is linear or weakly non-linear. Beyond this, our principal result is that $f(R)$ does affect halo abundances, the halo spin parameter and the concentration-mass relationship in an environment-independent way, whereas we find no appreciable deviation from $Λ$CDM for the mass function with fixed environment density, nor the alignment of the orientation and spin vectors of the halo to the eigenvectors of the local cosmic web. There is a general trend for greater deviation from $Λ$CDM in underdense environments and for high-mass haloes, as expected from chameleon screening.

description: Stationary measures of quantum walks on the one-dimensional integer lattice are well studied. However, the stationary measure for the higher dimensional case has not been clarified. In this paper, we give the stationary amplitude for quantum walks on the d-dimensional integer lattice with a finite support by solving the corresponding eigenvalue problem. As a corollary, we can obtain the stationary measures of the Grover walks. In fact, the amplitude for the stationary measure is an eigenfunction with eigenvalue 1.

description: In this paper we focus on the relation between quasinormal modes (QNMs) and a rotating black hole shadows. As a specific example, we consider the quantum deformed Kerr black hole obtained via Newman--Janis--Azreg-A\"ınou algorithm. In particular, using the geometric-optics correspondence between the parameters of a QNMs and the conserved quantities along geodesics, we show that, in the eikonal limit, the real part of QNMs is related to the Keplerian frequency for equatorial orbits. To this end, we explore the typical shadow radius for the viewing angles, $θ_0=π/2$, and obtained an interesting relation in the case of viewing angle $θ_0=0$ (or equivalently $θ_0=π$). Furthermore we have computed the corresponding equatorial and polar modes and the thermodynamical stability of the quantum deformed Kerr black hole. We also investigate other astrophysical applications such as the quasiperiodic oscillations and the motion of S2 star to constrain the quantum deforming parameter.

description: Welcome
The Asia-Pacific Conferences on Wind Engineering (APCWE) are international events conducted every four years under the umbrella of the International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE). They began with the First Asia-Pacific Symposium on Wind Engineering at Roorkee, India in 1985, and are held in the Asia-Pacific region mid-way between the four-yearly International Conferences on Wind Engineering. The APCWE conferences are international events regularly attended by 200 – 300 wind engineering researchers and practitioners from around the Asia-Pacific regions.

The previous conferences were held in Roorkee India, Beijing China, Hong Kong, Gold Coast Australia, Kyoto Japan, Seoul Korea, Taipei Taiwan, and Chennai India in 2013.

The Ninth Asia-Pacific Conference on Wind Engineering is being organised and hosted by the University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. The University of Auckland is New Zealand’s pre-eminent research-led institution, and the Faculty of Engineering has been active in Wind Engineering research and testing since the 1970s. In 2015 it constructed a world-class Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel to further increase its capability in Wind Engineering research.

The Organising Committee is delighted to host APCWE-IX, and great efforts are being undertaken to ensure its success. We take pleasure in inviting academicians, engineers, scientists, technologists and architects to actively participate in the Ninth APCWE. APCWE-IX aims to provide a knowledge platform for exchanging state-of-the-art research findings and practical applications in all areas of wind engineering, and to further enhance international collaborations.

This Figshare site contains approximately 200 peer-reviewed submitted papers which were presented at the conference, as well as the Keynote papers and bios of the Keynote presenters.

The conference is being held in December when you can expect the weather to be warm and pleasant. We urge you to allow time to see some of our wonderful tourist sites and beaches while you are here.

Welcome to the APCWE-IX in Auckland, New Zealand.

Prof. Richard G.J. Flay
Chairman, APCWE-IX
