description: This datapaper describe the content of the "MARSH" database, referenced under DOI number http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1413514

The database identifies all technical data related to sampling methodologies (fishing techniques, conditions and dates), as well as characteristics of the samples collected (taxa, fish abundance and weight, and individual length and morphometric dimensions).

The data can potentially be used to :

- describe nekton assemblages characterizing dyked marshes and natural intertidal (natural marshes and mudflats) and subtidal areas in a macrotidal estuary;

- compare nekton assemblages among anthropized, restored and natural habitats within the same estuary;

- study the temporal dynamics of nekton assemblages in tidally restored marshes;

- study the size distribution of several species (e.g. Liza ramada, Dicentrarchus labrax, Pomatoschistus microps, Palaemonetes varians, Palaemon longirostris) within diked and other intertidal habitats of the Gironde estuary;

- study length-weight relationships of multiple fish and macrocrustacean species.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence between Adrian Stokes and Herbert Read spanning from 1934-1962. Stokes was a painter and art critic who also had an interest in psychoanalysis. It was largely due to his efforts and work that the small fishing port of St. Ives became a centre of modernist art culture. In this letter Stokes says he would have written sooner but he was travelling in Rome and Athens, and writes that he returned to find his book had been rejected.
Inconsistency in the ordinal pairwise comparisons method with and without ties

description: Comparing alternatives in pairs is a well-known method of ranking creation. Experts are asked to perform a series of binary comparisons and then, using mathematical methods, the final ranking is prepared. As experts conduct the individual assessments, they may not always be consistent. The level of inconsistency among individual assessments is widely accepted as a measure of the ranking quality. The higher the ranking quality, the greater its credibility. One way to determine the level of inconsistency among the paired comparisons is to calculate the value of the inconsistency index. One of the earliest and most widespread inconsistency indexes is the consistency coefficient defined by Kendall and Babington Smith. In their work, the authors consider binary pairwise comparisons, i.e., those where the result of an individual comparison can only be: better or worse. The presented work extends the Kendall and Babington Smith index to sets of paired comparisons with ties. Hence, this extension allows the decision makers to determine the inconsistency for sets of paired comparisons, where the result may also be "equal." The article contains a definition and analysis of the most inconsistent set of pairwise comparisons with and without ties. It is also shown that the most inconsistent set of pairwise comparisons with ties represents a special case of the more general set cover problem.

description: Background: Over the past few decades, numerous forecasting methods have been proposed in the field of epidemic forecasting. Such methods can be classified into different categories such as deterministic vs. probabilistic, comparative methods vs. generative methods, and so on. In some of the more popular comparative methods, researchers compare observed epidemiological data from early stages of an outbreak with the output of proposed models to forecast the future trend and prevalence of the pandemic. A significant problem in this area is the lack of standard well-defined evaluation measures to select the best algorithm among different ones, as well as for selecting the best possible configuration for a particular algorithm. Results: In this paper, we present an evaluation framework which allows for combining different features, error measures, and ranking schema to evaluate forecasts. We describe the various epidemic features (Epi-features) included to characterize the output of forecasting methods and provide suitable error measures that could be used to evaluate the accuracy of the methods with respect to these Epi-features. We focus on long-term predictions rather than short-term forecasting and demonstrate the utility of the framework by evaluating six forecasting methods for predicting influenza in the United States. Our results demonstrate that different error measures lead to different rankings even for a single Epi-feature. Further, our experimental analyses show that no single method dominates the rest in predicting all Epi-features, when evaluated across error measures. As an alternative, we provide various consensus ranking schema that summarizes individual rankings, thus accounting for different error measures. We believe that a comprehensive evaluation framework, as presented in this paper, will add value to the computational epidemiology community.

description: Black holes cannot support their own internal magnetic field like, for example, compact stars can. Despite this fact observations indicate that event horizons of supermassive black holes (SMBH) are threaded by field lines along which plasma streams flow. Various magnetohydrodynamical mechanisms have been suggested to generate turbulent magnetic fields on small scales, however, the origin of the large-scale component is unclear. In this write-up we describe our progress in an on-going work and discuss the possibility of dipole-type magnetic fields being brought onto SMBH by magnetized neutron stars, which are expected to drift inward from a hidden population in the Nuclear Star Cluster. This can contribute to an organised component of the magnetic field on the characteristic length-scale of the stellar size, which thread the horizon during the final stages of the magnetized star plunge into or its close flyby around SMBH. Because of mass--size scaling relations for black holes, the effect is more important for lower-mass SMBH.

description: On the basis of the augmented quasiclassical theory of superconductivity with the Lorentz force, we study the mag- netic field dependence of the charge distribution due to the Lorentz force in a d-wave vortex lattice with anisotropic Fermi surfaces. Owing to the competition between the energy-gap and Fermi surface anisotropies, the charge profile in the vortex lattice changes dramatically with increasing magnetic field because of the overlaps of each nearest vortex-core charge. In addition, the accumulated charge in the core region may reverse its sign as a function of magnetic field. This strong field dependence of the vortex-core charge cannot be observed in the model with an isotropic Fermi surface.

description: The interaction of a helium atom with intense short 800 nm laser pulse is studied theoretically beyond the single-active-electron approximation. For this purpose, the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the two-electron wave packet driven by a linearly-polarized infrared pulse is solved by the time-dependent restricted-active-space configuration-interaction method (TD-RASCI) in the dipole velocity gauge. By systematically extending the space of active configurations, we investigate the role of the collective two-electron dynamics in the strong field ionization and high-order harmonic generation (HHG) processes. Our numerical results demonstrate that allowing both electrons in He to be dynamically active results in a considerable extension of the computed HHG spectrum.

description: We show that any group $G$ with a non-$FSZ_m$ quotient by a central cyclic subgroup also provides a non-$FSZ_m$ group of order $m|G|$ obtained as a central product of $G$ with a cyclic group. We then construct, for every prime $p>3$ and $j\in\mathbb{N}$, an $FSZ_{p^j}$ group $F$ such that there is a central cyclic subgroup $A$ with $F/A$ not $FSZ_{p^j}$. We apply these results to regular wreath products to construct an $FSZ$ $p$-group which is not $FSZ^+$ for any prime $p>3$. These give the first known examples of $FSZ$ groups that are not $FSZ^+$. We are also able to prove a few partial results concerning the $FSZ$ properties for the Sylow subgroups of symmetric groups. In the appendix we enumerate all non-$FSZ$ groups of order $5^7$.

description: Strong nanoscale light-matter interaction is often accompanied by ultra-confined photonic modes and large momentum polaritons existing far beyond the light cone. A direct probe of such phenomena is difficult due to the momentum mismatch of these modes with free space light however, fast electron probes can reveal the fundamental quantum and spatially dispersive behavior of these excitations. Here, we use momentum-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (q-EELS) in a transmission electron microscope to explore the optical response of plasmonic thin films including momentum transfer up to wavevectors (q) significantly exceeding the light line wave vector. We show close agreement between experimental q-EELS maps, theoretical simulations of fast electrons passing through thin films and the momentum-resolved photonic density of states (q-PDOS) dispersion. Although a direct link between q-EELS and the q-PDOS exists for an infinite medium, here we show fundamental differences between q-EELS measurements and the q-PDOS that must be taken into consideration for realistic finite structures with no translational invariance along the direction of electron motion. Our work paves the way for using q-EELS as the preeminent tool for mapping the q-PDOS of exotic phenomena with large momenta (high-q) such as hyperbolic polaritons and spatially-dispersive plasmons.

Diversity and coevolutionary dynamics in high-dimensional phenotype spaces

Year: 2017

description: We study macroevolutionary dynamics by extending microevolutionary competition models to long time scales. It has been shown that for a general class of competition models, gradual evolutionary change in continuous phenotypes (evolutionary dynamics) can be non-stationary and even chaotic when the dimension of the phenotype space in which the evolutionary dynamics unfold is high. It has also been shown that evolutionary diversification can occur along non-equilibrium trajectories in phenotype space. We combine these lines of thinking by studying long-term coevolutionary dynamics of emerging lineages in multi-dimensional phenotype spaces. We use a statistical approach to investigate the evolutionary dynamics of many different systems. We find: 1) for a given dimension of phenotype space, the coevolutionary dynamics tends to be fast and non-stationary for an intermediate number of coexisting lineages, but tends to stabilize as the evolving communities reach a saturation level of diversity; and 2) the amount of diversity at the saturation level increases rapidly (exponentially) with the dimension of phenotype space. These results have implications for theoretical perspectives on major macroevolutionary patterns such as adaptive radiation, long-term temporal patterns of phenotypic changes, and the evolution of diversity.

description: Topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) have been of great interest in the area of condensed matter physics. We investigated the effect of indium substitution on the crystal structure and transport properties in the TCI system (Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$)$_{1-y}$In$_{y}$Te. For samples with a tin concentration $x\le50\%$, the low-temperature resisitivities show a dramatic variation as a function of indium concentration: with up to ~2% indium doping the samples show weak-metallic behavior, similar to their parent compounds; with ~6% indium doping, samples have true bulk-insulating resistivity and present evidence for nontrivial topological surface states; with higher indium doping levels, superconductivity was observed, with a transition temperature, Tc, positively correlated to the indium concentration and reaching as high as 4.7 K. We address this issue from the view of bulk electronic structure modified by the indium-induced impurity level that pins the Fermi level. The current work summarizes the indium substitution effect on (Pb,Sn)Te, and discusses the topological and superconducting aspects, which can be provide guidance for future studies on this and related systems.

description: Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites are low-cost solution-processable solar cell materials with photovoltaic properties that rival those of crystalline silicon. The perovskite films are typically sandwiched between thin layers of hole and electron transport materials, which efficiently extract photogenerated charges. This affords high-energy conversion efficiencies but results in significant performance and fabrication challenges. Herein we present a simple charge transport layer-free perovskite solar cell (PSC), comprising only a perovskite layer with two interdigitated gold back-contacts. Charge extraction is achieved via self-assembled molecular monolayers (SAMs) and their associated dipole fields at the metal/perovskite interface. Photovoltages of approximately 600 mV generated by SAM-modified PSCs are equivalent to the built-in potential generated by individual dipole layers. Efficient charge extraction results in photocurrents of up to 12.1 mA/cm2 under simulated sunlight, despite a large electrode spacing.

Year: 2019

description: Globally, rural women face a particular burden in division of labor. Providing better agricultural extension services to rural women is essential in using agriculture for development. Hence, this study sought to ascertain the status of agricultural extension services utilization with the existing gender gaps in Bure Woreda, North Western Ethiopia. The survey was conducted in three purposively selected PKAs which have the maximum number of FHHs. Thus 160 samples were selected via multistage random sampling. Pre-tested structured interview schedule and other secondary sources were used to collect primary and secondary data, respectively. Key informant interviews and focus group discussions helped to generate the necessary qualitative data. Frequency, means, standard deviation, t-test and chi-square were used for analysis. The core survey result showed that on average 60.76% MHHs and only 29.71% FHHs utilized the selected agricultural extension services in the last three years (2009/10-2011/12). The analysis result depicted gender differences related to FHHs which include illiteracy, less ownership of productive resources plus less utilization of extension services. Therefore, adult education, efficient extension service systems, intervention to improve livestock sector via livestock credit, creating strong linkage with extension contacts, and giving reasonable place for women in farmers’ organizations were strongly recommended to boost agricultural development in the study area.

description: The solar active region photospheric magnetic field evolves rapidly during major eruptive events, suggesting appreciable feedback from the corona. Previous studies of these "magnetic imprints" are mostly based on line-of-sight only or lower-cadence vector observations; a temporally resolved depiction of the vector field evolution is hitherto lacking. Here, we introduce the high-cadence (90~s or 135~s) vector magnetogram dataset from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) that is well suited for investigating the phenomenon. These observations allow quantitative characterization of the permanent, step-like changes that are most pronounced in the horizontal field component ($B_h$). A highly structured pattern emerges from analysis of an archetypical event, \texttt{SOL2011-02-15T01:56}, where $B_h$ near the main polarity inversion line increases significantly during the earlier phase of the associated flare with a time scale of several minutes, while $B_h$ in the periphery decreases at later times with smaller magnitudes and a slightly longer time scale. The dataset also allows effective identification of the "magnetic transient" artifact, where enhanced flare emission alters the Stokes profiles and the inferred magnetic field becomes unreliable. Our results provide insights on the momentum processes in solar eruptions. The dataset may also be useful to the study of sunquakes and data-driven modeling of the corona.

description: TRAPPIST-1 is a nearby ultra-cool dwarf that is host to a remarkable planetary system consisting of seven transiting planets. The orbital properties and radii of the planets have been well-constrained, and recently the masses of the inner six planets have been measured with additional ground and space-based photometric observations. Large uncertainties in these mass measurements have prevented a robust analysis of the planetary compositions. Here we perform many thousands of N-body dynamical simulations with planet properties perturbed from the observed values and identify those that are stable for millions of years. This allows us to identify self-consistent orbital solutions that can be used in future studies. From our range of dynamical masses, we find that most of the planets are consistent with an Earth-like composition, where TRAPPIST-1f is likely to have a volatile-rich envelope.

description: The extent to which a temperature can be appropriately assigned to a small quantum system, as an internal property but not as a property of any large environment, is still an open problem. In this paper, a method is proposed for solving this problem, by which a studied system is coupled to a two-level system (probe) as a microscopic thermometer. For small quantum chaotic systems, we show that a temperature can be determined, the value of which is sensitive to neither the form, location, and strength of the probe-system coupling, nor the Hamiltonian and initial state of the probe. This temperature turns out to have the form of Boltzmann temperature.

description: Both renewable energy supply and electricity demand are strongly influenced by meteorological conditions and their evolution over time in terms of climate variability and climate change. This works as a major barrier to wind energy integration in electricity networks as knowledge of power output and demand forecasting beyond a few days remains poor. Current methodologies assume that long-term resource availability is constant, ignoring the fact that future wind resources could be significantly different from the past wind energy conditions. Such uncertainties create risks that affect investment in wind energy projects at the operational stage where energy yields affect cash flow and the balance of the grid. Here we assess whether sub-seasonal to seasonal climate predictions (S2S) can skilfully predict wind speed in Europe. To illustrate S2S potential applications, two periods with an unusual climate behaviour affecting the energy market will be presented. We find that wind speed forecasted using S2S exhibit predictability some weeks and months in advance in important regions for the energy sector such as the North Sea. If S2S are incorporated into planning activities for energy traders, energy producers, plant operators, plant investors, they could help improve management climate variability related risks.

description: In this deliverable we identify the quality assessment strategies for the natural language content as- sociated to the Business Process Models (BP Models), within the Learn PAd project. The deliverable presents an in-depth domain analysis, including literature review, interviews with public administra- tion (PA) stakeholders, and questionnaires submitted to PA stakeholders. Moreover, it defines a set of guidelines for editing natural language content in Learn PAd, and a quality model with associated rule-based and algorithmic strategies for computing the quality of such content. An experimental evaluation is presented concerning the potential usage of machine-learning techniques as a comple- mentary tool for quality evaluation. The deliverable also introduces some technical details that pave the basis to successively create the content analysis component of the Learn PAd platform.

description: Cross sections for inclusive neutrino scattering off deuteron induced by neutral and charge-changing weak currents are calculated from threshold up to 150 MeV energies in a chiral effective field theory including high orders in the power counting. Contributions beyond leading order (LO) in the weak current are found to be small, and increase the cross sections obtained with the LO transition operators by a couple of percent over the whole energy range (0--150) MeV. The cutoff dependence is negligible, and the predicted cross sections are within $\sim 2$\% of, albeit consistently larger than, corresponding predictions obtained in conventional meson-exchange frameworks.

description: The paper is devoted to the investigation of uniform notion for acts over semigroups perceived as an overclass of subdirectly irreducible acts. We establish conditions to fill the gap between these classes of acts. Besides we prove that uniform acts with two zeros are subdirectly irreducible. Ultimately we investigate monoids which are uniform as right acts over themselves and we characterize regular ones.

description: Russian wheat aphid (RWA) (Diuraphis noxia M.) is the major insect of barley in many areas in the world. It was reported in the Wukro (Atsbi) and Adigrat regions of northern Ethiopia in 1972/73 and western Welo region of northwestern Ethiopia in 1974. RWA causes severe damage to barley in the highlands of Ethiopia. However, only little information is available on the control of this pest in the country. An experiment was conducted in the 2013/2014 off-season at South Gondar Zone (Debretabor). The experiment aimed at evaluating some resistant sources of barley varieties against RWA was conducted in greenhouse conditions of the university site. Five barley varieties (Burton, RWA-1758, 3296-15, Holker and local susceptible) were studied in complete randomized design. The number of aphids per tiller decreased on the resistant varieties as compared to the control; this is probably due to their own inherent resistant character. There were also significant differences(p<0.001) in mean chlorosis, leaf rolling, RWA population, leaf number per tiller and tiller number per plant among the resistant and the susceptible varieties. Severe plant damage (36.6%) was observed on the local barley variety while the least damage was observed on Burton, followed by RWA-1758. Burton and RWA-1758 were therefore highly resistant and moderately resistant, respectively. The damage to barley lines 329615 and Holker was greater than Burton and RWA-1758 and highly lower than the local one. From the result, it was noted that resistant varieties provided much lower damaged plants and population of RWA per tiller and much higher yield components than the susceptible varieties. This indicates that the most effective approach in managing the RWA is the use of resistant variety. Hence it is concluded that the use of host plant resistance is an important avenue for RWA management, and is one of the favored control options for aphids.

description: To constrain models of high-mass star formation, the Herschel/HOBYS KP aims at discovering massive dense cores (MDCs) able to host the high-mass analogs of low-mass prestellar cores, which have been searched for over the past decade. We here focus on NGC6334, one of the best-studied HOBYS molecular cloud complexes. We used Herschel PACS and SPIRE 70-500mu images of the NGC6334 complex complemented with (sub)millimeter and mid-infrared data. We built a complete procedure to extract ~0.1 pc dense cores with the getsources software, which simultaneously measures their far-infrared to millimeter fluxes. We carefully estimated the temperatures and masses of these dense cores from their SEDs. A cross-correlation with high-mass star formation signposts suggests a mass threshold of 75Msun for MDCs in NGC6334. MDCs have temperatures of 9.5-40K, masses of 75-1000Msun, and densities of 10^5-10^8cm-3. Their mid-IR emission is used to separate 6 IR-bright and 10 IR-quiet protostellar MDCs while their 70mu emission strength, with respect to fitted SEDs, helps identify 16 starless MDC candidates. The ability of the latter to host high-mass prestellar cores is investigated here and remains questionable. An increase in mass and density from the starless to the IR-quiet and IR-bright phases suggests that the protostars and MDCs simultaneously grow in mass. The statistical lifetimes of the high-mass prestellar and protostellar core phases, estimated to be 1-7x10^4yr and at most 3x10^5yr respectively, suggest a dynamical scenario of high-mass star formation. The present study provides good mass estimates for a statistically significant sample, covering the earliest phases of high-mass star formation. High-mass prestellar cores may not exist in NGC6334, favoring a scenario presented here, which simultaneously forms clouds and high-mass protostars.

description: This work examines superradiance in initially inverted clouds of \textit{multi-level} atoms. We develop a set of equations that can approximately calculate the temporal evolution of $N$ coupled atoms. This allows us to simulate clouds containing hundreds of multi-level atoms while eschewing the assumption and/or approximation of symmetric dipole-dipole interactions. This treatment is used to explore the effects that dephasing caused by elastic dipole-dipole interactions, and competition between multiple transitions have on superradiance. Both of these mechanisms place strong parametrical restrictions on a given transition's ability to superradiate. These results are likely important to recent experiments that probe superradiance in Rydberg atoms.

description: We present a novel meshless tsunami propagation and inundation model. We discretize the nonlinear shallow-water equations using a well-balanced scheme relying on radial basis function based finite differences. The inundation model relies on radial basis function generated extrapolation from the wet points closest to the wet-dry interface into the dry region. Numerical results against standard one- and two-dimensional benchmarks are presented.

Properties of hydrogen, helium, and silicon dioxide mixtures in giant planet interiors

description: Recent observations of Jupiter and Saturn provided by spacecraft missions, such as Juno and Cassini, compel us to revise and improve our models of giant planet interiors. Even though hydrogen and helium are by far the dominant species in these planets, heavy elements can play a significant role in the structure and evolution of the planet. For instance, giant-planet cores may be eroded by their surrounding fluid, which would result in a significantly increased concentration of heavy elements in the hydrogen-helium envelope. Furthermore, the heavy elements could inhibit convection by creating a stabilizing gradient of composition. In order to explore the effects of core erosion, we performed ab initio simulations to study structural, diffusion and viscosity properties of dense multi-component mixtures of hydrogen, helium, and silicon dioxide at relevant pressure-temperature conditions. We computed radial distribution functions to identify changes in the chemical behavior of the mixture and to reveal dissociation trends with pressure and temperature. The computed diffusion coefficients of the different species as well as the viscosity provide constraints for the time scale of the dynamics of the core erosion and the mixing of its constituents into the envelope, which will help improve planetary models.
