description: Sistemas que implementam os preceitos dos Arquivos Abertos têm na interoperabilidade o ponto forte por possibilitar o intercâmbio de informação. A Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), primeiro sistema de informação brasileiro a implementar os Arquivos Abertos no Brasil, coleta automaticamente metadados de 104 provedores de dados que nem sempre apresentam-se normalizados. Assim, por meio de uma pesquisa empírica e experimental, desenvolveu um método e ferramentas (como crosswalks), que apoiam a qualidade dos dados proveniente dos provedores de dados que compõe a base da BDTD. Isso incrementou a quantidade de registros que apresentam padronização no preenchimento dos campos e normalização nos conteúdos dos campos, ofertando à comunidade usuária da BDTD uma base de dados mais apropriada às ferramentas de busca e descoberta.

A new 3D model for magnetic particle imaging using realistic magnetic field topologies for algebraic reconstruction

description: We derive a new 3D model for magnetic particle imaging (MPI) that is able to incorporate realistic magnetic fields in the reconstruction process. In real MPI scanners, the generated magnetic fields have distortions that lead to deformed magnetic low-field volumes (LFV) with the shapes of ellipsoids or bananas instead of ideal field-free points (FFP) or lines (FFL), respectively. Most of the common model-based reconstruction schemes in MPI use however the idealized assumption of an ideal FFP or FFL topology and, thus, generate artifacts in the reconstruction. Our model-based approach is able to deal with these distortions and can generally be applied to dynamic magnetic fields that are approximately parallel to their velocity field. We show how this new 3D model can be discretized and inverted algebraically in order to recover the magnetic particle concentration. To model and describe the magnetic fields, we use decompositions of the fields in spherical harmonics. We complement the description of the new model with several simulations and experiments.

description: We revisit the calculation of the abundance of primordial black holes (PBHs) formed from primordial density perturbations, using a formation criterion derived by Shibata and Sasaki which refers to a metric perturbation variable rather than the usual density contrast. We implement a derivation of the PBH abundance which uses peaks theory, and compare it to the standard calculation based on a Press--Schechter-like approach. We find that the two are in reasonable agreement if the Press--Schechter threshold is in the range $Δ_{\rm th} \simeq 0.3$ to 0.5, but advocate use of the peaks theory expression which is based on a sounder theoretical footing.

description: Sob uma perspectiva literária analítico-narratológica, faz-se uma leitura do sentido de Bernal Francês (IGR 0222), considerando várias questões. A primeira é o pressuposto que a forma de expressão elíptica e condensada dos romances orais tradicionais não impede a reconstituição de programas narrativos complexos. A segunda é que os romances dispõem de mecanismos de significação funcionais e a terceira questão é que através da análise destes mecanismos é possível identificar valores implícitos e modelos culturais das comunidades transmissoras. Assim, analisam-se os motivos e simbolismos utilizados e o modelo narrativo deste romance, que se baseia num jogo de enganos e adopta uma estratégia de suspense. Também se coloca Bernal Francês em paralelo com outros textos, encontrando sentidos semelhantes, que o enquadram na universalidade de sentido dos grandes núcleos temáticos de oposição Amor/Ódio-Vida/Morte presentes em Literatura.

description: Background: Diesel exhaust is a complex mixture comprised of gases and particulate matter and is a contributor to ambient air pollution. To reduce health risks, recent changes in diesel engine technology have significantly altered the composition of diesel exhaust, primarily by lowering emissions of particulate matter. However, animal toxicological studies continue to report health effects following exposure to diesel exhaust from engines employing particulate filters. The cause of these effects remains unclear. Objective and methods: To gain an understanding of the role of both particle-filtered and whole diesel exhaust on specific health outcomes, we conducted a systematic review in which we examined animal toxicological and controlled human exposure studies that included a comparison between inhalation of particle-filtered and whole diesel exhaust on any health endpoint. Results: We identified 26 studies that met both the inclusion and study evaluation criteria. For most health outcomes, the particle filtration methods employed in the included studies did not appreciably attenuate the health effects associated with exposure to whole diesel exhaust. There were also several health endpoints for which significant effects were associated with exposure to either particle-filtered or whole diesel exhaust, but not to both. Conclusions: Overall, the results from this systematic review demonstrate that exposure to different components in diesel exhaust can have distinct and independent health effects. Thus, to better inform human health risk assessments, future studies aimed at elucidating the health effects from diesel exhaust should include exposure to both particle-filtered and whole diesel exhaust.

title: Adult education and broadcasting in the two Germanies
Creators: name: Anderson, Daniel Flucker
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: The Central concern of this study is to shed light on the formation and operation of adult education broadcasting systems and in particular on the relative importance of cultural foundations and more dynamic ideological determinants in those processes, by comparing their working in the capitalist Federal Republic of Germany and the Communist German Democratic Republic. The thesis it sets out to test is that despite fundamental ideological divergences since 1945, common cultural influences in these countries are enduring and significant and may be discerned in their systems of adult education broadcasting as in other aspects of society. The interest and relevance of the thesis extends beyond the particular and peculiar situation of the two Germanies because of the general importance of distinguishing and evaluating these two strands in any study of adult education processes and systems. Because the method employed must necessarily be the comparative one, the study is also a test of this problematic but potentially useful tool for the study of adult education.
An analysis of the factors influencing choice of microcredit sources and impact of participation on household income

description: It is widely accepted that rural microcredit has the potential to contribute to poverty reduction in developing countries. This paper examines the factors that affect rural residents decisions to participate in different types of microcredit, and how these factors impact on household income and consumption, using cross-sectional data from a survey in China. A multinomial endogenous switching regression model is employed to account for selection bias and treatment effects. The empirical findings indicate that family size, dependency ratio, local casual wage rate, credit information and shocks mainly determine the selection of different credit sources. Furthermore, the estimates reveal that participation in microcredit tends to increase both per capita income and consumption significantly. Acknowledgement :

description: Abstract Crop producers transitioning from conventional to organic management must grow crops with organic practices but no price premium during the transition, while incurring higher production costs and lower yields. We evaluated red clover-maize, maize-soybean, and soybean-wheat/red clover rotations in organic and conventional cropping systems with recommended and high inputs to identify the best rotation and management practices during the transition. Organic maize with recommended inputs compared with conventional maize with high inputs in the red clover-maize rotation had similar yields, lower production costs, and higher partial returns. Organic compared with conventional maize in the maize-soybean rotation had lower yields, higher production costs, and lower partial returns. Organic compared with conventional soybean with recommended inputs in soybean-wheat/red clover or maize-soybean rotations had similar yields, production costs, and partial returns. Organic compared with conventional wheat with recommended inputs had lower yields, higher production costs, and lower partial returns. The organic compared with the conventional soybean-wheat/red clover rotation had the least negative impact on partial returns. All organic rotations with recommended inputs had mostly similar partial returns so transitioning immediately, regardless of entry crop, appears most prudent. High input management, which did not improve organic crop yields, would not ease the transition. Acknowledgement :

Damalinia muntiaca

description: Damalinia muntiaca (Séguy, 1948)
The detailed type locality of Damalinia muntiaca is uncertain, as Séguy (1948) wrote that the type specimens were from a captive red muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak (Zimmermann, 1780)) originally from “d’Indo-Malaise” (= Indo-Malaya). The red muntjac is distributed in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, where it has been listed as a non-endangered species by the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN 2010, 2017). Hence, it is possible that D. muntiaca occurs in Malaysia.

description: We present new broad-band optical and near-infrared CCD imaging together with deep optical intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of the Hickson Compact Group 31. We analyze the morphology and colors of the stellar populations of the galaxies, as well as the kinematics, physical conditions and chemical composition of the ionized gas in order to get a more complete view on the origin and evolution of the system. We estimate the ages of the most recent star formation bursts of the system, finding an excellent consistency among the values obtained with different indicators and starburst models. We find that member F hosts the youngest starburst of the group, showing a substantial population of Wolf-Rayet stars. The chemical abundances are fairly similar in all the members of the group despite their very different absolute magnitudes. We argue that the use of traditional metallicity-luminosity relations based on the absolute $B$-magnitude is not appropriate for dwarf starburst galaxies, because their luminosity is dominated by the transient contribution of the starburst to the blue luminosity. We think that members E and F of the group are candidate tidal dwarf galaxies because of their high metallicity, their kinematics, and the absence of underlying old stellar populations. Finally, we propose that HCG~31 is suffering several almost simultaneous interaction processes. The most relevant of these processes are: (a) the merging of members A and C, that would have produced two optical tidal tails; and (b) a fly-by encounter between G and the A+C complex, that would have produced an \ion{H}{1} tidal tail from the stripping of the external gas of A+C, from which members F and E have originated.

description: More than 60 million children in rural China are left-behind both parents live and work far from rural homes and leave behind their children. This paper explores the variations in how left-behind and non-left-behind families seek health remediation in China's vast but understudied rural areas. We examine this question in the context of a program to provide vision health care to myopic rural students, using data from a randomized controlled trial of 13,100 students in two provinces in China. We find that without a subsidy, uptake of health care services is low, even if individuals are provided with evidence of a potential problem (an eyeglasses prescription). Uptake rises two to three times when this information is paired with a subsidy voucher redeemable for a free pair of prescription eyeglasses. Left-behind children who receive an eyeglasses voucher are not only more likely to redeem it, but also more likely to use the eyeglasses. In other words, in terms of uptake of care and compliance with treatment, the voucher program benefitted left-behind students more than non-left-behind students. The results provide a scientific understanding of differential impacts for guiding effective implementation of health policy to all groups in need in developing countries. Acknowledgement :

Comparative computational results using a memetic algorithm are reported in this work. Our experiments included fifteen other different machine learning approaches including five genetic programming methods for symbolic regression and ten machine learning methods. The comparison on training and test generalization was performed using 94 datasets of the Penn State Machine Learning Benchmark. The statistical tests showed that the generalization results using analytic continued fractions provides a powerful and interesting new alternative in the quest for compact and interpretable mathematical models for artificial intelligence.

description: A structural transition in an ABO$_{3}$ perovskite thin film involving the change of the BO$_{6}$ octahedral rotation pattern can be hidden under the global lattice symmetry imposed by the substrate and often easily overlooked. We carried out high-resolution x-ray diffraction experiments to investigate the structures of epitaxial Ca$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$IrO$_{3}$ (CSIO) perovskite iridate films grown on the SrTiO$_{3}$ (STO) and GdScO$_{3}$ (GSO) substrates in detail. Although the CSIO/STO film layer displays a global tetragonal lattice symmetry evidenced by the reciprocal space mapping, synchrotron x-ray data indicates that its room temperature structure is monoclinic due to Glazer's a$^{+}$a$^{-}$c$^{-}$-type rotation of the IrO$_{6}$ octahedra. In order to accommodate the lower-symmetry structure under the global tetragonal symmetry, the film breaks into four twinned domains, resulting in the splitting of the (half-integer, 0, integer) superlattice reflections. Surprisingly, the splitting of these superlattice reflections decrease with increasing temperature, eventually disappearing at T$_{S}$ = 510(5) K, which signals a structural transition to an orthorhombic phase with a$^{+}$a$^{-}$c$^{0}$ octahedral rotation. In contrast, the CSIO/GSO film displays a stable monoclinic symmetry with a$^{+}$b$^{-}$c$^{-}$ octahedral rotation, showing no structural instability caused by the substrate up to 520 K. Our study illustrates the importance of the symmetry in addition to the lattice mismatch of the substrate in determining the structure of epitaxial thin films.

description: Damalinia thompsoni (Bedford, 1936)
Bedford (1936) described Damalinia thompsoni based on females collected from the Sumatran serow (Capricornis sumatraensis (Bechstein, 1799)) in Sumatra, Indonesia. Emerson (1964b) identified a male and females from the Formosan serow (Capricornis swinhoei Gray, 1862) in Taiwan as D. thompsoni, but the male from the type host was still unknown (Emerson, 1964b). Capricornis sumatraensis is distributed from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, and is listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (Phan et al. 2020). However, it is still possible that D. thompsoni will be found in Malaysia.

description: Despite over 60 years of history, the problems of agricultural marketing in India are either persisting since independence or mutated into newer forms, while newer problems have crept in. Majority of farmers still subscribe to the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) as their most accessible channel to sell their produce. The present study was undertaken in Kolar APMC market of Karnataka state, India and used both primary and secondary data. The present study empirically prove that tomato arrival in market is underreported, which could give false signals to policy makers and thus lead to over production, market inefficiency and welfare loss to farmers, market and state as well. Recording detailed data by quality or grade would make it more useful and relevant. The causes and repercussions of underreporting and some of the functional aspects of market are discussed. Prioritization of market development activities, use of qualified manpower, automation, etc. are some of the issues to be addressed. There is a need to study the repurcussions of simultaneous auction, rate of market fee, modalities of financing by market intermediaries to create win-win situation for all stakeholders.

description: We compute the first-order correction to the correlation functions of the stationary state of a stochastically forced harmonic chain out of equilibrium when a small on-site anharmonic potential is added. This is achieved by deriving a suitable formula for the covariance matrix of the invariant state. We find that the first-order correction of the heat current does not depend on the size of the system. Second, the temperature profile is linear when the harmonic part of the on-site potential is zero. The sign of the gradient of the profile, however, is opposite to the sign of the temperature difference of the two heat baths.

Creators: name: Hess, Heather Mary
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: Conventional techniques for determining air porosity, moisture content, air permeability and crusting features are reviewed. Alternative approaches depending upon inversion of data for sound propagation near to and through the soil surface are presented and their results for both soils and snow are discussed. The inversion techniques depend upon models both for sound propagation near grazing incidence and for the acoustic properties of homogeneous and layered porous materials and these models are described. Particular acoustic methods, based upon the difference in spectra received by two vertically separated microphones above the ground surface and the spectra received by probe microphones below the ground surface, are used on sand, silt, loam, clay and snow. It is found possible using acoustical techniques to deduce air porosities at and near the surface to within 10% of their conventionally measured values. The acoustic measurements enabled deduction of an effective flow resistivity parameter in which the actual flow resistivity is multiplied by the square of a pore shape factor ratio. The use of this together with acoustically deduced porosity in monitoring soil condition is discussed. Changes in acoustically deduced parameters are shown to occur with moisture content both in soil bin and field experiments. The acoustic techniques prove successful in monitoring surface crusts and sub-surface layering with depth on a finer scale and at smaller depth intervals than those possible with conventional techniques.

description: It is known that there is a wide class of quasi-two-dimensional graphenelike nanomaterials which in many respects can outperform graphene. So, here in addition to graphene, the attention is directed to stanene (buckled honeycomb structure) and phosphorene (puckered honeycomb structure). It is shown that, depending on the doping, these materials can have magnetically ordered edges. Computed diagrams of magnetic phases illustrate that, on the one hand, n-type doped narrow zigzag nanoribbons of graphene and stanene have antiferromagnetically aligned magnetic moments between the edges. On the other hand, however, in the case of phosphorene nanoribbons the zigzag edges can have ferromagnetically aligned magnetic moments for the p-type doping. The edge magnetism critically influences transport properties of the nanoribbons, and if adequately controlled can make them attractive for spintronics.

description: Cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA), while present in the health and education sectors in international development research, remain rare among agricultural and rural development studies. This study conducts CEAs in a particular type of programmatic work in the sector namely, interventions that bring a gender lens to community-based advisory services in rural areas. Specifically, we consider two such programs one in Mozambique in which such advisory services aim to improve sustainable land management (SLM) practices in agricultural production, and the other in Tanzania to advise farmers on their land rights. We find that the gendered modality is consistently more cost-effective than the basic modality when considering varied outcomes and target groups. However, for any given modality, it is more cost-effective to improve outcomes for men than for women. A simulation of how cost-effectiveness would change if the program were scaled up geographically shows that expansion of the basic modality of the SLM program leads to improvements in cost-effectiveness, while the gendered modality displays nonlinear changes in cost-effectiveness along the expansion path, first worsening with initial scale-up and subsequently improving with further expansion. Acknowledgement : This work was undertaken as a part of, and funded by, the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets, which is led by IFPRI.

description: Although the importance of forests in climate change mitigation has been widely recognized, there has been a lack of empirical research regarding the role of forests in agricultural adaptation to climate change. This paper uses a careful designed household survey in South China that considers an exogenous shock of drought, to determine whether the presence of natural and planted forests near rice-producing villages can reduce the adverse effects of drought on rice yield. After controlling for local climate and water infrastructure, we find robust evidence that natural forests and not planted forests have significant positive effects on rice yield, due to their influence on the availability of water for irrigation. Although drought hinders farmers access to irrigation, which negatively affects rice yield, forests near villages provide protection for rice against drought. These findings support the adoption of forest ecosystem-based adaptation (EBA) to cope with climate change and enhance food security. Acknowledgement :

description: Informal economy is particularly present in small-scale farming, although little attention has been paid so far. This article aims to contribute to a further understanding of the attitudes of small scale, family farmers, toward incorporating into the formal economy. For this, a survey was conducted of family farmers located in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile. The questionnaire was divided into the following sections: i) personal characteristics of the farmer, ii) technical and production features, iii) level of formalization and iv) statements regarding attitudes toward formalization. The data collected was processed by descriptive and multivariate techniques such as factor and cluster analysis. The results showed that farmers perceive formalization as a complex process which entails unpleasant obligations, and that they do not consider it really necessary. There are some distinctions, however, that allow two clusters to be identified: Favorable (18.82%) and Reluctant (81.18%). The first group has a positive attitude both in terms of the formalization process and its overall impact, but it represents a small percentage of the farmers. We conclude that to increase family farming incorporation in formal economy accurate and understandable information, as well as the adaptation of the processes and obligations to farmers situation is necessary.

description: Calculation of profit from futures trading that involves rollovers is important for investors, regulators, and researchers who track returns earned by individual or fund traders. An accurate profit calculation for trading activity involving rollovers cannot be achieved with a manufactured continuous data series formed by applying an automatic rollover rule. Rather, a two-step process is needed where spreads are fully accounted for in the profit calculation. We present a two-step procedure which accounts for spreads. We demonstrate the profit calculation with an example of a November soybean futures contract rolled over to a January soybeans future contract, and show how the resulting profit with the two-step method differs from the resulting profit determined using a manufactured continuous data series.

description: With WMAP putting the phenomenological standard model of cosmology on a strong footing, one can look forward to mining the cosmic microwave background (CMB) for fundamental physics with higher sensitivity and on smaller scales. Future CMB observations have the potential to measure absolute neutrino masses, test for cosmic acceleration independent of supernova Ia observations, probe for the presence of dark energy at redshifts of 2 and larger, illuminate the end of the dark ages, measure the scale--dependence of the primordial power spectrum and detect gravitational waves generated by inflation.

description: The well known travel cost method (TC)has been widely applied to outdoor recreation. A second approach has been referred to in the past as the Davis method, the questionnaire approach, and contingent valuation. It will here be termed hypothetical valuation (HV), since it involves creating a hypothetical situation designed to elicit willingness to pay for or willingness to accept compensation for a recreational or other extramarket good (or bad). TC and HV are termed "indirect methods", since they do not depend on the direct information about prices and quantities that economists would prefer to use where available to value goods and services.

Damalinia traguli

description: Damalinia traguli Werneck, 1950
Werneck (1950) described the adult male and female of Damalinia traguli from the greater mousedeer (Tragulus napu borneanus Miller, 1902) collected in Kendawangan, West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, as well as on other Tragulus species from Sumatra, Indonesia. Also, Damalinia traguli was reported from the Javan mousedeer (Tragulus javanicus (Osbeck, 1765)) in Sumatra (Emerson & Price 1981). Tragulus javanicus and T. napu borneanus are both native in Malaysia (Abdullah & Mammalian Research Group 2013; Duckworth et al. 2015; Timmins & Duckworth 2015), therefore there is a possibility that D. traguli is also present in this country.

title: The acid hydrolysis of paper to fermentable sugars and the subsequent fermentation of the sugars to ethanol
Creators: name: Anderson, Judith
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The process of hydrolysing the cellulose content of various waste materials to sugars was first utilised in Germany prior to World War II to counteract the industrial ethanol shortage which existed during that period. Now as the anticipated shortage of vital energy-producing fossil sources becomes more apparent, cellulose is once again recognised as an important potential source. A bench scale rig has been designed to effect the chemical hydrolysis of cellulose at high temperature (230oC) and pressure (3.4x106 Pa) with 1-2% sulphuric acid as a catalyst. The rate of conversion to sugars is a function of temperature and pH, and a screening and optimisation exercise of these variables has been undertaken. The yields of sugars achieved ranged from 0.4% to 30% conversion (glucose equivalent). The sugars formed were collected, neutralised and used for fermentation tests. These were carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and certain bacteria in pure and two-member batch and continuous cultures to produce ethanol. Analyses of yields, specific growth and production rates and concentrations were made, with which knowledge, comparison could be made between the performances of the various organisms on the hydrolysis sugars, under specified conditions. S. cerevisiae performed well in hatch and continuous cultures and yields of ethanol near the theoretical maximum were achieved. Of the bacteria Aerobacter aerogenes gave a similar performance in continuous culture. The other two, Pseudomonas saccharophila and Bacillus polymyxa gave low yields and hindered the activities of the yeasts in two-member cultures.

description: We consider radiative and pionic decays of the new D_s-mesons in the framework of a phenomenologically motivated approach. Present data on ratios of the two kinds of decays can be described without explicit using a 4-quark component. Most probably, the isospin violation in decays of different D_s-mesons is not universal, and the binding potential should be different from Coulombic. New precise measurements may provide further clarification for the nature of the D_s excited states.

description: The impact of tidal shoreline erosion and the development of programs to mitigate those impacts have become issues of major concern for many coastal areas. In the Chesapeake Bay of Virginia, erosion action has caused losses of up to twenty feet of shore depth per year and in several cases structures have actually fallen into the Bay waters. This physical process of erosion generally has not been perceived as a problem until it has induced an economic impact on either an individual or a community. These economic impacts have become more significant and more widespread and consequently the situation has resulted in major emphasis being placed on better management of tidal shoreline erosion.
