description: The last decade has seen the nexus between increasing world population and the area of irrigated land broken, indicating that further population will need to be fed by improved water productivity rather than through increased irrigated area. But how much improvement is possible? This paper systematically considers irrigated agriculture from the plant through to a catchment, and from production and natural resource use perspectives. While there is some evidence of improvement in transpiration productivity (yield per unit of transpired water) of our common irrigated crops, it seems we have reached the limit of potential improvement. Opportunity still exists to increase economic yield while containing seasonal water use through manipulation of vegetative and reproductive growth phases. For crops, the opportunity for improving water productivity largely involves decreasing soil surface evaporation relative to crop transpiration. There are still gains to be made in this area from both improved irrigation system design and agronomic practice. Farm layout, distribution and application systems can be significantly improved to increase water use efficiency. However, given the relative costs of water, earthworks, labour and equipment, there is often little financial incentive to reduce total water use for marginal gains in yield. Audits of many distribution systems show considerable opportunity for improvement and also highlight the inadequacy of current measurement systems. There is generally good opportunity to decrease water losses in these distribution systems but a significant limitation is securing the immediate and ongoing financial resources needed to upgrade. Given the demand for water and the constraints on availability, we need improvement in financial and ecological productivity. Our purpose is therefore to seek increased multi-purpose water use productivity. There is good evidence that this can be achieved through irrigated regional engagement and a much greater emphasis on irrigation within a business context.

description: Edge computing that leverages cloud resources to the proximity of user devices is seen as the future infrastructure for distributed applications. However, developing and deploying edge applications, that rely on cellular networks, is burdensome. Such network infrastructures are often based on proprietary components, each with unique programming abstractions and interfaces. To facilitate straightforward deployment of edge applications, we introduce OSS based RAN on OTA commercial spectrum with DevOps capabilities. OSS allows software modifications and integrations of the system components, e.g., EPC and edge hosts running applications, required for new data pipelines and optimizations not addressed in standardization. Such an OSS infrastructure enables further research and prototyping of novel end-user applications in an environment familiar to software engineers without telecommunications background. We evaluated the presented infrastructure with E2E OTA testing, resulting in 7.5MB/s throughput and latency of 21ms, which shows that the presented infrastructure provides low latency for edge applications.

description: Wormholes (WHs) are considered as hypothetical shortcuts or tunnels in spacetime. In general relativity (GR), the fundamental ingredient of WH geometry is the presence of exotic matter at the throat, which is responsible for the violation of null energy condition (NEC). However, the modified gravity theories has shown to be able to provide WH solutions satisfying energy conditions (ECs). In this paper, we study the static spherically symmetric WH solutions in modified $f(R,T)$ gravity for a phantom fluid case. The exact solutions of this model are obtained through the equation of state (EoS), $p=ωρ$, associated with phantom dark energy (DE) $ω

description: Developed countries have agreed to provide duty free and quota free access to imports from LDCs covered by 97 per cent of tariff lines. However, LDCs would like to extend the agreement to 100 per cent coverage, since 3 per cent of tariff lines can cover a substantial proportion of LDC exports. Products of major interest include textiles and clothing and agricultural goods such as rice, oilseeds, sugar and bananas. The potential trade and welfare impacts of expanding the coverage are analysed using a global general equilibrium model. Updated estimates indicate LDCs stand to gain $4.2 billion in additional exports, the bulk of which accrues to Bangladesh, Cambodia and West Africa. A further $1.8 billion increase in exports could be obtained if LDCs had duty free access to the markets of China, India, Brazil and South Africa. However, non-LDC developing countries are likely to become worse off as a result of extension of preferences to LDCs.

description: Researchers employ various measures of risk attitudes to investigate their relation to market behavior with mixed results. We find that a higher-order global risk attitude construct, developed using survey scales and experiments based on expected utility theory, is related to several marketing alternatives, but does not exhibit substantially greater explanatory power than underlying measures. With few exceptions, scales yield greater significance of risk attitudes for these choices, but experimental measures reveal other insights, e.g., differential attitudes in gain and loss domains. Given recent concerns with experimental measures in the literature, we suggest studies include scales as a low cost supplemental measure.

description: Soil health is dependent upon complex bio-physical and bio-chemical processes which interact in space and time. Microrganisms and fauna in soil comprise highly diverse and dynamic communities that contribute, over either short or long time frames, to the transformation of geological minerals and release of essential nutrients for plant growth. Certified organic soil management practices generally restrict the use of chemically-processed highly soluble plant nutrients, leading to dependence on nutrient sources that require microbial transformation of poorly soluble geological minerals. Consequently, slow release of nutrients controls their rate of uptake by plants and associated plant physiological processes. Microbial and faunal interactions influence soil structure at various scales, within and between crystalline mineral grains, creating complex soil pore networks that further influence soil function, including the nutrient release and uptake by roots. The incorporation of organic matter into soil, as either manure or compost in organic farming systems is controlled to avoid excessive release of soluble nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, while simultaneously contributing an essential source of carbon for growth and activity of soil organisms. The interdependence of many soil physical and chemical processes contributing to soil health is strongly linked to activities of the organisms living in soil as well as to root structure and function. Capitalizing on these contributions to soil health cannot be achieved without holistic, multiscale approaches to nutrient management, an understanding of interactions between carbon pools, mineral complexes and soil mineralogy, and detailed examination of farm nutrient budgets.

description: In computer vision, image datasets used for classification are naturally associated with multiple labels and comprised of multiple views, because each image may contain several objects (e.g. pedestrian, bicycle and tree) and is properly characterized by multiple visual features (e.g. color, texture and shape). Currently available tools ignore either the label relationship or the view complementary. Motivated by the success of the vector-valued function that constructs matrix-valued kernels to explore the multi-label structure in the output space, we introduce multi-view vector-valued manifold regularization (MV$\mathbf{^3}$MR) to integrate multiple features. MV$\mathbf{^3}$MR exploits the complementary property of different features and discovers the intrinsic local geometry of the compact support shared by different features under the theme of manifold regularization. We conducted extensive experiments on two challenging, but popular datasets, PASCAL VOC' 07 (VOC) and MIR Flickr (MIR), and validated the effectiveness of the proposed MV$\mathbf{^3}$MR for image classification.

description: There has recently been much interest in extending vector-based word representations to multiple languages, such that words can be compared across languages. In this paper, we shift the focus from words to documents and introduce a method for embedding documents written in any language into a single, language-independent vector space. For training, our approach leverages a multilingual corpus where the same concept is covered in multiple languages (but not necessarily via exact translations), such as Wikipedia. Our method, Cr5 (Crosslingual reduced-rank ridge regression), starts by training a ridge-regression-based classifier that uses language-specific bag-of-word features in order to predict the concept that a given document is about. We show that, when constraining the learned weight matrix to be of low rank, it can be factored to obtain the desired mappings from language-specific bags-of-words to language-independent embeddings. As opposed to most prior methods, which use pretrained monolingual word vectors, postprocess them to make them crosslingual, and finally average word vectors to obtain document vectors, Cr5 is trained end-to-end and is thus natively crosslingual as well as document-level. Moreover, since our algorithm uses the singular value decomposition as its core operation, it is highly scalable. Experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on a crosslingual document retrieval task. Finally, although not trained for embedding sentences and words, it also achieves competitive performance on crosslingual sentence and word retrieval tasks.

In the present paper, the existence of invariant vector fields on homogeneous Finsler spaces with square $(α, β)$-metric and Randers changed square $(α, β)$-metric is proved. Further, an explicit formula for $S$-curvature of these $(α, β)$-metrics is established. Finally, using the formula of $S$-curvature, the mean Berwald curvature of afore said $(α, β)$-metrics is calculated.

description: In this paper, we study the boundary effect on the surface (or frame) tension of elastic membrane surface models. The frame tension generally depends only on the projected area of the boundary over which the surface spans. However, from a spin model analogy, the frame tension is expected to be dependent also on the boundary shape at the continuous transition point. We confirm this expectation using the following fixed-connectivity and tethered surface models: the surface model of Helfrich and Polyakov and a surface model with deficit angle term. We also discuss the reason why this expectation is worthwhile to study.

In particular, we examine how the oblateness parameter $A$ influences several aspects of the method, such as its speed and efficiency. Color-coded diagrams are used for revealing the convergence basins on the plane of complex numbers. Moreover, we compute the degree of fractality of the convergence basins on the complex space, as a relation of the oblateness, by using different computational tools, such the fractal dimension as well as the (boundary) basin entropy.

description: Background Complex trauma is the developmental harm done to people's bodies, brains, and minds from childhood adversity. These experiences of inadequate care and nurturance, often not involving major events, are harmful in embodied ways that interfere with, and are contained, outside of cognitive awareness. Experiences of excellent, or even good enough, care and nurturance can overlay these developmental harms. Therefore, adventure therapy experiences may be restorative for adolescents with complex trauma. However, adventure therapy and complex trauma are emerging practices and bodies of knowledge, and at present there is no purpose designed theory that joins these two fields. Purpose This research project sought to build a theory and practice framework for complex trauma-informed adventure therapy. [...]

description: We present results for the local density of states in the S and N layers of a SN multilayer, and the supercurrent, based on a Green's function formalism, as an extension of previous calculations on NS, SNS and SNSNS systems. The gap function is determined selfconsistently. Our systems are chosen to have a finite transverse width. We focus on phenomena which occur at so-called critical transverse widths, at which a new transverse mode is starting to contribute. It appears, that for an arbitrary width the Andreev approximation (AA), which takes into account only Andreev reflection at the SN interfaces, works well. We show that at a critical width the AA breaks down. An exact treatment is required, which considers also ordinary reflections. In addition, we study the influence of an interface barrier on the coupling between the S-layers.

The End of Runaway: How Gap Opening Limits the Final Masses of Gas Giants

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Gas giants are thought to form by runaway accretion: an instability driven by the self-gravity of growing atmospheres that causes accretion rates to rise super-linearly with planet mass. Why runaway should stop at a Jupiter or any other mass is unknown. We consider the proposal that final masses are controlled by circumstellar disc gaps (cavities) opened by planetary gravitational torques. We develop a fully time-dependent theory of gap formation and couple it self-consistently to planetary growth rates. When gaps first open, planetary torques overwhelm viscous torques, and gas depletes as if it were inviscid. In low-viscosity discs, of the kind motivated by recent observations and theory, gaps stay predominantly in this inviscid phase and planet masses finalize at $M_{\rm final}/M_\star\sim(Ωt_{\rm disc})^{0.07}(H/a)^{2.73}(Gρ_0/Ω^2)^{1/3}$, with $M_\star$ the host stellar mass, $Ω$ the planet's orbital angular velocity, $t_{\rm disc}$ the gas disc's lifetime, $H/a$ its aspect ratio, and $ρ_0$ its unperturbed density. This final mass is independent of the dimensionless viscosity $α$ and applies to large orbital distances, typically beyond $\sim$10 AU, where disc scale heights exceed planet radii. It evaluates to a few Jupiter masses at 10-100 AU, increasing gradually with distance as gaps become harder to open.

description: Isotope anomalies provide important information about early solar system evolution. Here we report molybdenum isotope abundances determined in samples of various meteorite classes. There is no fractionation of molybdenum isotopes in our sample set within 0.1 permil and no contribution from the extinct radionuclide 97Tc at mass 97 (97Tc/92Mo<3E-6). Instead, we observe clear anomalies in bulk iron meteorites, mesosiderites, pallasites, and chondrites characterized by a coupled excess in p- and r- or a mirror deficit in s-process nuclides (Mo-HL). This large scale isotope heterogeneity of the solar system observed for molybdenum must have been inherited from the interstellar environment where the sun was born, illustrating the concept of ``cosmic chemical memory''. The presence of molybdenum anomalies is used to discuss the filiation between planetesimals.

 Larva (n = 3–4)
 Coloration. Head yellowish. Antenna with basal and second segments yellowish, other segments light brown. Abdomen yellowish.
 Head. Capsule length 256–272, 263 µm, width 164–172, 167 µm; strongly sculptured. Postmentum 220– 228, 223 µm long. SII obvious, rising from small tubercle, SI and SIII not visible. Premandible 18–28, 22 µm long. Mentum as in Fig. 21 B. Mandible 55–69, 61 µm long. Antenna (Fig. 21 A), AR 0.91–1.1, 1.03. Lengths of flagellomeres I–IV (in µm): 204–236, 227; 101–105, 103; 105–117, 112; 4–6, 5. Basal segment width 15–18, 17 µm; length of blade at apex of basal segment 28–35, 30 µm. Length of antenna/length of head 1.71–1.74, 1.73.
 Abdomen. Length of anal setae 224–280, 245 µm. Procercus 10–12, 11 µm long, 10–12, 11 µm wide. Subbasal seta of posterior parapods split as in Fig. 21 C; 55–63, 59 µm long.
 Remarks. The male is described by Schlee (1968: 40). The Lake Winnipeg specimens are slightly smaller than mentioned by Schlee, with wing length of 0.83–1.00, 0.90 (6) and wing length/length of profemur of 3.32–3.58, 3.43. Two females which may belong to this species differ from C. porrecta sp. n. by having an AR of 0.51–0.52, slightly larger size, and having about 6 lateral lamellae on the coxosternapodeme.
 Distribution and ecology. The species is known in all regions except the Afrotropical region and North Africa (Oliver et al. 1990: 23; Saether & Spies 2011). Many records, however, need reexamination and Schlee (1968: 43) could only confirm findings from Finland, Germany and Austria. The reconfirmed findings are restricted to oligotrophic or, at most, mesotrophic waters. The species is characteristic for the littoral vegetation (Schlee 1968: 42).

title: Twilight and The Shadow's Edge: Imaging the Medicalised End of Life Experience
Creators: name: Ruckli, Josef
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: documentary photography
subject: end-of-life experience
subject: voluntary assisted dying

description: Twilight and The Shadow's Edge are two photographic series/exhibitions which seek to illuminate the unseen aspects of the medicalised end-of-life experience and the impacts of absent voluntary assisted dying laws in Queensland, Australia, through the agency of documentary practice. Coupled with an exegesis, the series are outcomes of a health-related, non-clinical, arts-based practice-led research project which attempt to deepen viewer's understandings of contemporary illness, death and dying in distinctly aesthetic and affective terms. The research also investigates the development of an appropriate visual language that deploys institutional attitude and a clinical aesthetic as rhetorical devices, co-opting and subsequently thwarting the clinical gaze of medicine to generate deferred and complex affects. These affects orbit themes of loss, mortality, uncertainty, liminality and fragmented or disrupted temporalities. Central to this research is a qualification and emphasis on the profound entanglement between illness, photography, medicine and death. I situate the outcomes within the context of discourse and practice that have grappled with these intersections. The project acknowledges photography's capacity to cause further 'injury' in the representation of vulnerable subjects and discuss strategies to help its circumvention. The research extrapolates the thinking of Michel Foucault who positions contemporary biomedicine as a hegemonic institution of care that not only restores health but also crucially reconfigures or 'governs' the body.1 Medicine has greatly extended our lives but also complicated and protracted the ways it draws to a close. The research explores what it means, and how it feels, to live in the long shadow of serious illness and medical management as diminishment and darkness nears.

A model for individual quantal nano-skyrmions

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A quantal model description of a discrete localized skyrmion singularity embedded in a ferromagnetic environment is proposed. It allows discussing the importance of various parameters in the appearance of a quantal skyrmion singularity. Analysis of the skyrmion reveals a few specific quantal properties: presence of a whole series of skyrmion states, non-classical nature of the local spins, presence of superposition states and presence of extra-skyrmion states due to the quantization of the central spin of the singularity. The interaction of an electron, tunneling or substrate, with the skyrmion is also described allowing a new view at the origin of the skyrmion stability as well as the possibility to discriminate between ferromagnetic and skyrmion phase in an Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy (IETS) experiment, based on the skyrmion quantal properties.

Tomonaga-Luttinger model with an impurity for a weak two-body interaction
Creators: name: Stauber, T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Tomonaga-Luttinger model with impurity is studied by means of flow equations for Hamiltonians. The system is formulated within collective density fluctuations but no use of the bosonization formula is made. The truncation scheme includes operators consisting of up to four fermion operators and is valid for small electron-electron interactions. In this regime, the exact expression for the anomalous dimension is recovered. Furthermore, we verify the phase diagram of Kane and Fisher also for intermediate impurity strength. The approach can be extended to more general one-body potentials.

description: Die vorliegende Studie fokussiert auf Weiterbildungsangebote und Beratungsleistungen für land- und forstwirtschaftliche Betriebe Österreich im Bereich der Unternehmensführung. Ziel der Studie war es, den Bedarf dafür aus Sicht potenzieller Kunden, also der Landwir-tinnen und Landwirte in Österreich, zu erheben und zu quantifizieren.Unterschiede und spezielle Bedürfnisse nach Betriebsgröße, natürlicher Erschwernis sowie Alter und Ge-schlecht der Betriebsleiter wurden herausgearbeitet. Um die gewünschten Informationen zu erhalten, wurde im Frühling 2015 eine schriftlichen Befragung auf der Basis von Telefon-interviews (Computer Assisted Telefon Interviews – CATI) durchgeführt; die Stichprobe für die Auswertung umfasste 413 Interviews im gesamten Bundesgebiet. Ergänzend zur quantitativen Analyse wurden fünf Gruppendiskussionen mit Landwirtinnen und Landwir-ten umgesetzt. Die Studie belegt, dass potenzielle Kunden ein breites Portfolio an Themen der Unternehmensführung und deren Transfer in die Praxis nachfragen. Teilweise unter-scheiden sich die Präferenzen signifikant je nach betrieblichen und persönlichen Merkma-len. Betriebsleiter größerer Betriebe bevorzugen Angebote der Betriebswirtschaft, Jüngere fordern mehr Angebote über das Internet. Als ein relativ neues Betätigungsfeld in der Bil-dungs- und Beratungsarbeit kristallisierte sich das Thema der Kommunikation mit der Ge-sellschaft heraus, vor allem aus Sicht von Landwirtinnen und Landwirten größerer Betrie-be.

description: Two new 1-D lanthanide selenidogermanates [Ln2(tepa)2(μ-OH)2(μ-Ge2Se6)]n·xnH2O (Ln = Tb (1), x = 0.5; Ln = Tm (2), x = 0; tepa = tetraethylenepentamine) have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Compounds 1 and 2 contain 1-D polymeric chains [Ln2(tepa)2(μ-OH)2(μ-Ge2Se6)]n constructed by a [Ge2Se6]4− anion as a bridging ligand with trans terminal Se atoms linking [Ln2(μ-OH)2(tepa)2]4+ complex cations, but the stacking patterns of these neutral chains are different. The 1-D chains of 1 are alternately stacked in a crossing manner, while the infinite chains of 2 are arranged in a parallel manner. Although a few lanthanide selenidogermanates containing the [Ge2Se6]4− anion have been reported, their [Ge2Se6]4− anions are usually discrete. Compounds 1 and 2 provide the rare example of [Ge2Se6]4− anion as a bridging ligand to a lanthanide complex cation. Their optical and magnetic properties have also been studied.

description: This exploratory study investigates consumer perception of borderline products between food and drugs, mainly based on the Buying Hierarchy concept. An online survey on consumer perception of 7 borderline products was conducted in Germany in summer 2015, resulting in a sample of 104 consumers. Descriptive statistics results indicate that sensory aspects and packaging presentation may indeed influence consumer perception borderline products. Further, consumers may prefer dedicated products (probably drugs) to address specific health conditions and they seem to be sceptical about the efficacy and health benefits of such products. Overall, consumer perception of borderline products seems to be rather ambiguous.
