description: In this article, we examine participatory approaches to culture documentation in the context of work undertaken with Tibetan Plateau communities in China. We describe the diversity of vernacular traditions found within such communities, arguing against the ‘taken-for-granted’ homogeneity of Plateau culture. We discuss the implications of such diversity on documentation practice and introduce participatory approaches drawn from development studies, and suggest that these may provide novel, effective solutions in this context. We also describe the challenges of culture loss on the Plateau, arguing that with the current rate of loss and homogenization, documentation work is now vitally important. To conclude, we examine the pros and cons of participatory approaches in documentation on the Tibetan Plateau in particular, but also more broadly. Our general approach is informed by the belief that the purpose of culture documentation is to record the greatest possible amount of extant cultural diversity in a manner that enables such diversity to be sustainably maintained in situ. We also argue that it is important to consider the specific, substantive nature of the communities in which culture documentation is undertaken, rather than applying generic concepts of culture and community.

Re-sounding the Spirits of Altaian Oral Epic Performance: Kai throat-singing and its repercussions
Creators: name: Pegg, Carole
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper, which focuses on the ‘spirits’ and force of oral epic performance, is based on my fieldwork in the Republic of Altai, also called ‘Mountain’ or Gorny-Altai, which lies in southern Siberia within the Russian Federation. The Altai-Sayan mountains, which also embrace the republics of Tyva and Khakassia in southern Siberia and run down through West Mongolia, form the cradle of throat-singing, a remarkable vocal technique in which richly textured harmonic clusters are manipulated by a single vocalist to create more than one simultaneous sound. The style of deep guttural Altaian kai throat-singing, essential to ritual oral epic performance, is less well-known. Here, I argue that kai is performative action that re-situates or re-negotiates the performer’s social place in local, global and spiritual worlds. In the cause of balance, this paper draws attention to the under-researched perspective of the power of the spirit-charged epic-teller. After briefly introducing the landscape, peoples and languages of Altai, I consider both the traditional kai performance complex and a contemporary re-sounding of the last ‘with spirit’ Altaian oral epic-teller, ‘Elbek’ Kalkin. Finally, I debate some of the issues arising from transferring performative experiences in the field to archival digital documents and how the World...

The Parched Grain Chant: Parallel verse and simultaneous action in Magar rituals
Creators: name: Oppitz, Michael
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This article deals with a particular ritual chant of the Northern Magar, who live in the foothills of the Dhaulagiri Massif in the north-western part of central Nepal. The song is called lawa kheti or Parched Grain Chant and constitutes one in a multitude of different oral texts, as sung by the local healers or shamans (ramma) in the course of their séances. All chants of the Magar shamans are emphatically religious in nature as they are never sung or performed outside the ritual context. Furthermore, the chants are absolutely indispensable components of any ritual event; indeed, next to certain material implements and a great range of ceremonial acts, they provide the basic modular elements for the composition of a ritual. The Parched Grain Chant is one such modular element in the shamanic healing rituals of the Magar. In order to comprehend its position and function in the entire ritual, it must be viewed against the background of the other modular elements of which the rite is composed; and its place must be indicated in relation to the other chants forming the body of the local oral art.

Documenting Ceremonial Dialogues: An in vitro performance and the problem of textualisation
Creators: name: Gaenszle, Martin
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: The more general topic of this paper is the problem of turning oral discourse into a written text, i.e. what is usually termed ‘transcription’ and, if edited in some way (through standardisation, glossing, translation, etc.), ‘textualisation’. This process, which in this article I will, as a matter of convention, refer to as textualisation, is particularly problematic in the case of dialogic discourse. Much of ritual speech is monologic (invocations, chants, recitations), and this is difficult enough to textualise. But in the case of dialogic ritual speech, features like turn-taking, overlaps, multiple speakers etc. can turn the task into a rather challenging enterprise. As ritual discourse tends to have a textual structure, the major question is: how can one bring out this structure and distinguish it from the contingencies of a live performance? Or more specifically: is it methodologically legitimate to stage a performance in order to make it more comprehensible? I will deal with this general issue by looking at a specific case: the recording of a ceremonial wedding dialogue among the Mewahang Rai in East Nepal.

description: We fit WMAP5 and related data by allowing for a CDM--DE coupling and non--zero neutrino masses, simultaneously. We find a significant correlation between these parameters, so that simultaneous higher coupling and ν--masses are allowed. Furthermore, models with a significant coupling and ν--mass are statistically favoured in respect to a cosmology with no coupling and negligible neutrino mass (our best fits are: C ~ 1/2m_p, m_ν~ 0.12eV per flavor). We use a standard Monte Carlo Markov Chain approach, by assuming DE to be a scalar field self--interacting through Ratra--Peebles or SUGRA potentials.

Recording Oral Literature in a Literate Society: A case study from the northern Philippines
Creators: name: Blench, Roger
name: Campos, Fredeliza
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: Oral literature is the product of a world where there was no possibility of recording with any accuracy long or significant texts in any way other than through memory and interpersonal transmission. However, literacy and recording technology have penetrated even the remotest parts of the world, so that even where a guardian of oral tradition cannot read or operate a video camera, they are influenced by their knowledge of these technologies. At the same time, the impact of globalisation is threatening the characteristic boundary maintenance strategies of ethnolinguistic groups. Responses to this have been varied around the world, but movements to encourage ‘cultural revival’ and ‘heritage’ are not uncommon. This paper concerns the oral literature of the Ifugao people in the Cordillera of Northern Luzon, in the Republic of the Philippines. The authors’ project, which commenced in May 2010, was to document representative examples of genres of oral literature. This paper provides an overview of the current situation of the various vocal genres preparatory to the task of transcribing the body of field materials. However, we also describe as realistically as possible the contradictions of recording oral literature where its performers are now embedded in contexts very different from those...

Reading the Lontars: Endangered literature practices of Lombok, eastern Indonesia
Creators: name: Austin, Peter K.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: The Sasak, who live on the island of Lombok in eastern Indonesia, have a literary tradition of writing on the dried leaves of the lontar palm (Borassus flabellifer) which they share with their western neighbours, the Balinese and Javanese. The lontar manuscripts are written in Kawi (a form of middle Javanese), or Sasak, or a mixture of both. Historical evidence suggests that this tradition originated from contact between the Sasak and the Javanese and Balinese, both of whom dominated various parts of Lombok at different times. Compared to research on Balinese and Javanese literary traditions (Rubinstein 2000, Brandes 1901-1926, Creese 1999, McDonald 1986, among others), there has been very little work done on Sasak lontar (with the exceptions of van der Meij 1996 and Achadiati et. al. 1999), and virtually nothing has been published about the performances (called in Sasak pepaòsan) associated with reading lontar (in Sasak mace). This paper reports on aspects of the Sasak tradition in its sociolinguistic context, and briefly and incompletely describes a performance observed in southern Lombok in 2002.

Rewards and Issues in Studying Oral Literature: Some personal reflections
Creators: name: Finnegan, Ruth
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper is not attempting some organised overview of the extensive subject of oral literature; even if I was capable of that, space limitations would forbid. Rather it consists merely of comments from my own experience of studying aspects of oral literature over several decades, principally in Africa but also in Fiji, Britain, and comparatively. I see the complications around oral literature not as obstacles to its study but as indicators of its rich complexity and deep human significance. It helps us all that ‘oral literature’ is now both a recognised and inspiring concept and at the same time one that deserves to be treated with care. Oral literary forms are still being created, and for all the successes so far there remains much to be done, the more so that its scintillating examples are often – though certainly not only – to be found in parts of world seen as remote from western centres of scholarship. Even now they are still sometimes clouded by that typographic prejudice that would rank the oral below the written. All the more reason then to accord the most cordial of welcomes to the World Oral Literature Project for its leadership...

description: We study the β ,N critical behaviour of non compact QED with N species of light fermions, using a method we have proposed for unquenched simulations. We find that there exist two phase transition lines: one, second order, and the other, first order, that approaches asymptotically the β  = 0 axis. These two lines have different physical origin, the second one being entirely due to fermions effects. We discuss the effect of the approximation used, in terms of an expansion of the effective action in powers of N, and conclude that the general features should not be affected by this approximation.

description: ABSTRACT
 The role of the gut microbiota in carcinogenesis is increasingly being acknowledged. Recent studies in multiple breast cancer mouse models have found that antibiotics, by altering the gut microbiota, can accelerate tumour growth. In humans, a recent cohort study restricted to triple negative breast cancer showed that breast cancer patients using a greater number of antibiotics had markedly worse survival. These studies have raised concerns about the implications of repeated antibiotic use in breast cancer patients. In this registered report, our objectives are to determine whether breast cancer patients who use oral antibiotics have increased risk of breast cancer-specific mortality. We will investigate a large cohort of women with stage 1 to 3 breast cancer from Wales and England. Cancer registries will be used to identify breast cancer patients, national mortality records to capture breast cancer-specific mortality and all-cause mortality and prescribing records to determine frequency and class of antibiotics prescribed. Our study will examine evidence on the association between oral antibiotic use and survival in patients with breast cancer and could inform antibiotic prescribing policy in breast cancer patients.

description: We present an investigation of electron-spin dynamics in p-doped bulk GaAs due to the electron-hole exchange interaction, aka the Bir-Aronov-Pikus mechanism. We discuss under which conditions a spin relaxation times for this mechanism is, in principle, accessible to experimental techniques, in particular to 2-photon photoemission, but also Faraday/Kerr effect measurements. We give numerical results for the spin relaxation time for a range of p-doping densities and temperatures. We then go beyond the relaxation time approximation and calculate numerically the spin-dependent electron dynamics by including the spin-flip electron-hole exchange scattering and spin-conserving carrier Coulomb scattering at the level of Boltzmann scattering integrals. We show that the electronic dynamics deviates from the simple spin-relaxation dynamics for electrons excited at high energies where the thermalization does not take place faster than the spin relaxation time. We also present a derivation of the influence of screening on the electron-hole exchange scattering and conclude that it can be neglected for the case of GaAs, but may become important for narrow-gap semiconductors.

description: This special issue of Language Documentation and Description derives from presentations at the 2009 World Oral Literature Project Workshop, held on 15 and 16 December at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge. The contributions published here represent seven of the sixteen papers presented at the workshop, along with an additional paper by Roger Blench and Fredeliza Campos, whose fieldwork was funded by the World Oral Literature Project. Taken as a whole, this volume addresses some of the theoretical and practical issues related to the collection, recording, preservation and dissemination of oral literature by taking the conversation held at the workshop to a wider and more varied audience. For many communities around the world, the transmission of oral literature from one generation to the next lies at the heart of cultural practice. Moreover, these creative works are an invaluable part of a community’s heritage that may be threatened when their mother tongue becomes endangered or even lost when a language dies out, as such traditions are often left untranslated when a community switches to speaking a more dominant language.

description: Results of a long-term monitoring ($\gtrsim 10$ years) of the broad line and continuum fluxes of three Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), 3C 390.3, NGC 4151, and NGC 5548, are presented. We analyze the H$α$ and H$β$ profile variations during the monitoring period and study different details (as bumps, absorption bands) which can indicate structural changes in the Broad Line Region (BLR). The BLR dimensions are estimated using the time lags between the continuum and the broad lines flux variations. We find that in the case of 3C 390.3 and NGC 5548 a disk geometry can explain both the broad line profiles and their flux variations, while the BLR of NGC 4151 seems more complex and is probably composed of two or three kinematically different regions.

Review of ‘Speaking of endangered languages: Issues in revitalization’ (Anne Marie Goodfellow, ed)
Creators: name: Sallabank, Julia
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: Although the number of books on endangered language documentation is increasing, language revitalisation remains an under-researched and under-theorised field. I was therefore keen to read this collection of case studies of language revitalisation projects. This book consists of 289 pages divided into 13 chapters (each with its own References), short biodata of contributors, and a short but useful overall Index. An observable fact that this book illustrates is the proliferation of movements for language revitalisation around the world: it includes case studies from the USA, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and the Pacific (although there are none from Africa or Asia, a topic that deserves discussion in its own right). More and more, it seems, community members and language activists are motivated to ‘do something’ to keep their languages in use. All too often they launch into activities without what Fishman (1991) called ‘prior ideological clarification’ about reasons, goals and outcomes, what exactly they want to ‘save’, or awareness of successes and problems elsewhere. Any publication which provides examples and analyses in a format accessible to other communities is a welcome addition to the field.

Ontologies in language documentation

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: What is the role of ontologies in language documentation theory and practice? This paper clarifies the meaning of the term ‘ontology’ in the context of information management and the Web, and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between knowledge representation and knowledge organization. It then examines how the term ‘ontology’ has been applied in the field of linguistics, focusing on a particular kind of ontology that is regarded as especially relevant in the context of language documentation. The General Ontology for Linguistic Description (GOLD) is presented in some detail, along with criticisms that have been raised against it. Finally it is suggested that the discipline of language documentation has more need for a knowledge organization system, and a shared thesaurus, than for an ontology-based knowledge representation system.

description: Damaged or mismatched bases in DNA can be repaired by Base Excision Repair (BER) enzymes that replace the defective base. Although the detailed molecular structures of many BER enzymes are known, how they colocalize to lesions remains unclear. One hypothesis involves charge transport (CT) along DNA [Yavin, {\it et al.}, PNAS, {\bf 102}, 3546, (2005)]. In this CT mechanism, electrons are released by recently adsorbed BER enzymes and travel along the DNA. The electrons can scatter (by heterogeneities along the DNA) back to the enzyme, destabilizing and knocking it off the DNA, or, they can be absorbed by nearby lesions and guanine radicals. We develop a stochastic model to describe the electron dynamics, and compute probabilities of electron capture by guanine radicals and repair enzymes. We also calculate first passage times of electron return, and ensemble-average these results over guanine radical distributions. Our statistical results provide the rules that enable us to perform implicit-electron Monte-Carlo simulations of repair enzyme binding and redistribution near lesions. When lesions are electron absorbing, we show that the CT mechanism suppresses wasteful buildup of enzymes along intact portions of the DNA, maximizing enzyme concentration near lesions.

On borrowed time? The increase of Bislama loanwords in Bierebo
Creators: name: Budd, Peter
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This paper examines the use of loanwords in Bierebo, an Oceanic language of Vanuatu, and asks to what extent this borrowing represents a threat to the language’s survival. Bierebo has a total of around 900 speakers, a number which might lead one to presume that it is highly endangered. However it continues to be transmitted to children in the home, and it is not unusual for local vernaculars in island Melanesia to survive comfortably with similar numbers (see Crowley 1995; Lynch et al 2002). Nonetheless, many older Bierebo speakers bemoan the influx of borrowings from Bislama, the country’s national language. They perceive this tendency to be increasing rapidly, and therefore posing a real threat to the ongoing use of Bierebo. This paper aims to scrutinise such views through both quantitative and qualitative analysis.

description: To properly design the roof shielding for the Main Rings of the DAPHNE Project, the dose equivalents due to the skyshine effect as a function of distance from the machine building and of the altitude have been evaluated. The calculations, for both neutron and photons, were performed in two steps: source definition and radiation transport. For the first step the code used was FLUKA. The transport of the emitted particles was simulated using the CERN version of the MORSE code. From the results obtained two alternatives are suggested: - a roof covering the sections of the machine without local shields; - the removal of the windows existing in the building housing the machine.

The initial conditions used come from the latest kinematical determination of the 3D Sun's motion in the Milky Way (MW) by assuming for the rotation speed of the Local Standard of Rest (LSR) the recent value Θ_0=268 km s^-1 and the IAU recommended value Θ_0=220 km s^-1; the Sun is assumed located at 8.5 kpc from the Galactic Center (GC). For Θ_0=268 km s^-1 the birth of the Sun, 4.5 Gyr ago, would have occurred at large Galactocentric distances (12-27 kpc depending on the model used), while for Θ_0=220 km s^-1 it would have occurred at about 8.8-9.3 kpc for almost all the models used. The integrated trajectories are far from being circular, especially for Θ_0=268 km s^-1, and differ each other with the CDM models yielding the widest spatial extensions for the Sun's orbital path.

description: La masonería tuvo un desarrollo modesto en España si lo comparamos con el caso anglosajón. Si hubo una región que destacó sobre las demás fue Andalucía que acogió un tercio de todas las logias que se levantaron en el último tercio del siglo XIX. Este trabajo de investigación está dedicado al estudio de cada una de las provincias andaluzas que contribuyeron a sentar las bases de la masonería española. Los objetivos son simples; mostrar la distribución geográfica de los talleres masónicos, desglosar la influencia en cada provincia y comparar los resultados diferenciando entre “Alta y Baja Andalucía”. El estudio de las sociedades secretas se puede tornar complejo pues siempre han sido menospreciadas y esto se refleja en buena parte de la bibliografía producida al respecto. La Historia le sigue debiendo a la masonería investigaciones y trabajos divulgativos para derribar los mitos que siguen vigentes en el pensamiento colectivo.
description: Freemasonry had a modest development in Spain if we compare it with the Anglo-Saxon case. If there was a region that stood out above the others, it was Andalusia, which hosted a third of all the lodges that were built in the last third of the 19th century. This research work is dedicated to the study of each of the Andalusian provinces that contributed to laying the foundations of Spanish Freemasonry. The objectives are simple; show the geographical distribution of the masonic workshops, break down the influence in each province and compare the results distinguishing between “Upper and Lower Andalusia”. The study of secret societies can become complicated because they have always been despised and this is reflected in a good part of the bibliography produced on this matter. History still owes to Freemasonry research and divulgation works to demolish the myths that are still valid in collective thought.
Aspects of deixis in Cicipu: evidence from real-time video commentary
Creators: name: McGill, Stuart
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: This article is concerned with spatial deixis in Cicipu, a Benue-Congo language of Nigeria, focusing on the demonstrative adverbs. The five-term system is in itself unusual cross-linguistically, but it is also of interest because of the use of two of the five demonstratives in the system of verb aspect. The distal term 'ũ̂ and the near-hearer term lêe both form periphrastic constructions with the verb, resulting in aspectual categories that may be glossed as ‘perfect’ and ‘completive’ respectively. The primary aim of this article is a descriptive one: to present the system of spatial deixis as encoded in the demonstrative adverbs, and to provide evidence in support of the characterisation of the two verbal constructions. The second part of the article is more relevant to documentary linguistics since it concerns the documentary corpus which was used as the basis for this study, and in particular the important role that the genre of real-time video commentary played in arriving at the analysis presented here. The discussion of the completive hinges on its distribution in video commentary, in particular the way in which it coincides with the completion of the most salient events of the festival.

description: We give a re-interpretation of an `entropy defect' in the electromagnetic Casimir effect. The electron gas in a perfect crystal is an electromagnetically disordered system whose entropy contains a finite Casimir-like contribution. The Nernst theorem (third law of thermodynamics) is not applicable.

description: Enveloped viruses enter host cells either through endocytosis, or by direct fusion of the viral membrane envelope and the membrane of the host cell. However, some viruses, such as HIV-1, HSV-1, and Epstein-Barr can enter a cell through either mechanism, with the choice of pathway often a function of the ambient physical chemical conditions, such as temperature and pH. We develop a stochastic model that describes the entry process at the level of binding of viral glycoprotein spikes to cell membrane receptors and coreceptors. In our model, receptors attach the cell membrane to the viral membrane, while subsequent binding of coreceptors enables fusion. The model quantifies the competition between fusion and endocytotic entry pathways. Relative probabilities for each pathway are computed numerically, as well as analytically in the high viral spike density limit. We delineate parameter regimes in which fusion or endocytosis is dominant. These parameters are related to measurable and potentially controllable quantities such as membrane bending rigidity and receptor, coreceptor, and viral spike densities. Experimental implications of our mechanistic hypotheses are proposed and discussed.

description: In the process industries the optimal allocation of shared resources among physically coupled subsystems is key to an efficient operation of the overall system, e. g., an integrated production site. If the subsystems have a certain level of autonomy or it is desired to grant confidentiality to the constituent subsystems, price-based coordination can be employed, where an independent system operator (ISO) iteratively adjusts transfer prices for the shared resources until the demand and the supply match, i. e., the shared resource networks are balanced. In this contribution, a modified subgradient price update scheme is presented, which can be used for systems that are connected to external resources, such as pipelines, through which certain amounts of the resources can be exchanged at prices that are fixed in portfolio tariffs. The approach virtually splits the shared resource networks to account for the different price regimes in the available tariff. The principle is illustrated in a simulation study of a production site with three productions plants that are connected to an external distribution grid.

description: Many industrial processes are coupled via multiple networks of energy and materials to achieve a resource and energy efficient production. In many cases however, setting up an integrated optimization problem for all units or plants that are directly connected to the networks is not possible, especially when not all information can be shared. In such cases, dual decomposition or price-based coordination can be used, where optimal transfer prices are iteratively determined at which the networks are balanced and the resources are allocated optimally between the participants. In this contribution, price-based coordination is extended to include the situation where limited resources can be bought or sold at predefined prices from external markets (e.g. via pipelines) and the resulting algorithms are demonstrated for a realistic example.

Negation in clause linkages
Creators: name: Bond, Oliver
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: The linguistic subfield of language documentation lends itself well to the study of language phenomena which are pragmatically-oriented ... One such pragmatically oriented phenomenon –linguistic negation– constitutes an area of grammatical analysis for which the availability of context dependent information will dramatically improve descriptive, theoretical and pedagogical treatments. The importance of contextualisation of negative utterances is clear from a number of studies that explicitly discuss the contextual setting for the use of negative constructions. Despite the enriched understanding of negation phenomena that follows from these studies, little has been done to date to draw together ideas on how negation might be analysed in a corpus of natural speech in an unfamiliar language. However, a large body of evidence from languages across the world demonstrates that the form and use of negators is determined by their usage in several different types of discourse unit larger than a single clause or predicate, and, furthermore, such structures may have properties that are different from independent clauses. The object of this paper is to examine the variation seen in discourse units consisting of more than one clause in order to provide a backdrop for analysing negation data in a corpus of discourse data.

description: General higher-dimensional rotating black hole spacetimes of any dimensions admit the Killing and Killing-Yano tensors, which generate the hidden symmetries just as in four-dimensional Kerr spacetime. We study these properties of the black holes using the formalism of supersymmetric mechanics of pseudo-classical spinning point particles. We present two nontrivial supercharges, corresponding to the Killing-Yano and conformal Killing-Yano tensors of the second rank. We demonstrate that an unusual extended Poisson-Dirac algebra of these supercharges results in two independent Killing tensors in spacetime dimensions $ D\geq 6 $, giving explicit examples for the Myers-Perry black holes in $ D = 6 $ dimensions.

description: Applying a sum-over-modes approach to the Casimir interaction between two plates with finite conductivity, we isolate and study the contributions of surface plasmons and Foucault (eddy current) modes. We show in particular that for the TE-polarization eddy currents provide a repulsive force that cancels, at high temperatures, the Casimir free energy calculated with the plasma model.

Social change and language revitalization in the Isle of Man: a post-materialist perspective
Creators: name: Wilson, Gary N.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2014

description: In an effort to develop a deeper understanding of the impact that social changes such as those described by the literature on post-materialism are having on the process of language revitalization, this article will examine the changing fortunes of Manx Gaelic, the indigenous language of the Isle of Man, a small island located in north-western Europe. During the past four decades, the island has undergone a significant economic transition away from a traditional economy based on fishing, agriculture and tourism to a post-industrial economy centered on banking, financial services and niche manufacturing. This transition has brought unprecedented economic growth and prosperity to the island. At the same time, the island’s indigenous culture and language have experienced a remarkable process of revitalization, following decades of decline and neglect. In particular, [this article] will consider how social change has influenced the process of language revitalization on the island by using the theory of post-materialism to explain the impact that economic growth and stability has had on attitudes toward language and culture.

description: Vegetation removal during resource extraction in the Arctic causes long-lasting impacts requiring revegetation to accelerate plant reestablishment. This study focused on root development on shrub cuttings from seven common species at Diavik Diamond Mine, Northwest Territories. Two experiments were conducted; the first had six soaking times (zero, one, three, five, ten, twenty days), four indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.4, 0.8 percent), and three seasons (summer, fall, spring). The second had a control, three IBA concentrations (0.1, 0.4, 0.8 percent) or alternative chemical compounds, either three Salix water or three smoke water extracts, in two seasons (summer, fall). After sixty days, all species developed at least primary and secondary roots in at least one season in one experiment, including one previously undocumented species, Kalmia procumbens. Rooting characteristics were highly variable, with maximum percentage of rooted cuttings from 3 to 55 percent and maximum number of roots per cutting from 1 to 117 across species, seasons, and experiments. Though rooting percentages were low, species-specific interactions between season and Salix water extract and smoke water extract were observed. Assessing multiple species highlights the potential of vegetative propagation to revegetate northern disturbed sites with common species that lack reliable seed sources.
Maximal CP Violation Hypothesis and a Lepton Mixing Matrix

description: Maximal CP violation hypothesis is applied to a simple lepton mixing matrix form U=V_{CKM}^\dagger U_{TB}, which has recently been speculated under an ansatz that U becomes an exact tribimaximal mixing U_{TB} in a limit of the quark mixing matrix V_{CKM} \to {\bf 1}. The prediction \tan^2 θ_{12} =1/2 in the case of the exact tribimaximal mixing U=U_{TB} is onsiderably spoiled in the speculated mixing U=V_{CKM}^\dagger U_{TB}. However, the application of the hypothesis to the lepton sector can again recover the spoiled value to \tan^2 θ_{12} \simeq 1/2 if the original Kobayashi-Maskawa phase convention for V_{CKM} is adopted.
