description: Browning of KX7349 maize during drying occurred mainly in the pericarp layer. Browning was caused by oxidation of water soluble matter in the pericarp layer. Moisture content had no significant influence on browning rate. Drying temperature, drying time and drying method (vacuum drying or hot-air drying) had significant influence on the browning rate. Through lab research, a prediction model for the relationship between browning rate and drying air temperature was developed. Total drying time is y=- 13.086+0.289X1+1.045X2, where y is the browning rate(%), X1 is drying temperature(°C), X2 is total drying time(h), the value range of X1 was 30~80, the value range of X2 was 2~10. The concurrent and counter current dryer was applied in Nenjiang to optimize the drying process. The hot air temperature in each drying stage was reduced. When the hot air temperature of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd drying stage was reduced to 95°C,75°C,60°C respectively, the browning rate was reduced to 15%~16%. Keeping the hot air temperature constant at each drying stage, by drying twice, the browning rate was reduced to 4%~6%.

description: We review the current-generation short-baseline reactor neutrino experiments that have firmly established the third neutrino mixing angle $θ_{13}$ to be non-zero. The relative large value of $θ_{13}$ (around 9$^\circ$) has opened many new and exciting opportunities for future neutrino experiments. Daya Bay experiment with the first measurement of $Δm^2_{ee}$ is aiming for a precision measurement of this atmospheric mass-squared splitting with a comparable precision as $Δm^2_{μμ}$ from accelerator muon neutrino experiments. JUNO, a next-generation reactor neutrino experiment, is targeting to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy with medium baselines ($\sim$50 km). Beside these {\color{black} opportunities enabled by the large $θ_{13}$}, the current-generation (Daya Bay, Double Chooz, and RENO) and the next-generation (JUNO, RENO-50, and PROSPECT) reactor experiments, with their unprecedented statistics, are also leading the precision era of the 3-flavor neutrino oscillation physics as well as constraining new physics beyond the neutrino Standard Model.

description: Analogue gravity experiments make feasible the realisation of black hole spacetimes in a laboratory setting and the observational verification of Hawking radiation. Since such analogue systems are typically dominated by dispersion, efficient techniques for calculating the predicted Hawking spectrum in the presence of strong dispersion are required. In the preceding paper, an integral method in Fourier space is proposed for stationary $1+1$-dimensional backgrounds which are asymptotically symmetric. Here, this method is generalised to backgrounds which are different in the asymptotic regions to the left and right of the scattering region.

description: Exploring whether a spin density wave (SDW) is responsible for the charge excitations gap in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates is difficult, since the region of the phase diagram where the magnetic properties are clearly exposed is different from the region where the band dispersion is visible. On the one hand, long range magnetic order disappears as doping approaches 2% from below, hindering our ability to perform elastic neutron scattering (ENS). On the other hand, cuprates become insulating at low temperature when the doping approaches 2% from above, thus restricting angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In fact, ARPES data for samples with doping lower than 3% are rare and missing the quasiparticle peaks in the energy distribution curves (EDCs). The main problem is the high resistivity of extremely underdoped samples, which is detrimental to ARPES due to charging effects. Nevertheless, the resistivity of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ as a function of temperature, at 2% doping, has a broad minimum around 100K. This minimum opens a window for both experiments. By preparing a series of LSCO single crystals with $\sim $0.2-0.3% doping steps around 2%, we managed to find one to which both techniques apply. This allows us to explore the cross talk between the magnetic and electronic properties of the material.

An Emergent Universe supported by chiral cosmological fields in Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet gravity

description: We propose the application of the chiral cosmological model (CCM) for the Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet (EGB) theory of gravitation with the aim of finding new models of the Emergent Universe (EmU) scenario. We analysed the EmU supported by two chiral cosmological fields for a spatially flat universe, while we have used three chiral fields when we investigated open and closed universes. To prove the validity of the EmU scenario we fixed the scale factor and found the exact solution by decomposition of EGB equations and solving the chiral field dynamics equation. To this end, we suggested the decomposition of the EGB equations in such a way that the first chiral field is responsible for the Einstein part of the model, while the second field, together with kinetic interaction term, is connected with the Gauss--Bonnet part of the theory. We proved that both fields are phantom ones under this decomposition, and that the model has a solution if the kinetic interaction between the fields equals a constant. We have presented the exact solution in terms of cosmic time. This was done for a spatially flat universe. In the case of open and closed universes we introduced the third chiral field (canonical for closed and phantom for open universe) which is responsible for the EGB and curvature parts. The solution of the third field equation is obtained in quadratures. Thus we have proved that the CCM is able to support EmU scenario in EGB gravity for spatially flat, open and closed universes.

description: In this paper, we study warped product submanifolds of nearly trans-Sasakian manifolds. The non-existence of the warped product semi-slant submanifolds of the type $N_θ\times{_{f}N_T}$ is shown, whereas some characterization and new geometric obstructions are obtained for the warped products of the type $N_T\times{_{f}N_θ}$. We establish two general inequalities for the squared norm of the second fundamental form. The first inequality generalizes derived inequalities for some contact metric manifolds [16, 18, 19, 24], while by a new technique, the second inequality is constructed to express the relation between extrinsic invariant (second fundamental form) and intrinsic invariant (scalar curvatures). The equality cases are also discussed.

description: We study the ascending motion of a disk rolling on an incline when its center of mass lies outside the disk axis. The problem is suitable as laboratory project for a first course in mechanics at the undergraduate level and goes beyond typical textbook problems about bi-dimensional rigid body motions. We develop a theoretical model for the disk motion based on mechanical energy conservation and compare its predictions with experimental data obtained by digital video recording. Using readily available resources, a very satisfactory agreement is obtained between the model and the experimental observations. These results complement previous ones that have been reported in the literature for similar systems.

A Comparative Insight of Irish and Scottish Regulatory Frameworks for Offshore Wind Energy - An Expert Perspective
Creators: name: O Hanlon, Zoe

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Sources of marine renewable energy, are of significant importance in achieving energy efficiency and transitions to sustainability. Of these marine innovations, offshore wind energy is growing at unprecedented levels, driven by technological maturity, cost reduction and political will. Ireland is significantly behind on European Union decarbonisation objectives, with a paucity of offshore wind development in Irish waters. Occupying a vast marine resource, Ireland has the potential to tap into this growing global marine market and set the trajectory toward sustainability. This analytical policy research investigates the key enablers and constraints to achieving that growth, using Scotland as a jurisdiction for comparative analysis. Scotland was chosen due to its advances in the deployment of floating offshore structures and the operation of Marine Scotland as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for project consenting. Using Scotland for comparison provides critical insight into experiences learned in an international context and how these may be applied to Ireland. The research utilises a qualitative method through 24 semi-structured interviews with experts selected from industry and policy. Enablers of offshore wind in Ireland were identified as opportunities to be addressed in the enactment and implementation of the Maritime Area and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill; and the development of a policy statement specific to offshore wind, to accelerate sector development. Key constraints identified included a lack of government commitment and appropriate legislative instruments, inefficient policy support and issues with fragmentation across various government departments. Enablers of offshore wind in Scotland were noted as government commitment, clear policy support and the Contracts for Difference (CfD)[1] electricity price support mechanism. The importance of transitional based skills from the oil and gas industry was recognised as aiding sector progression. The importance of Scotland’s ‘one-stop-shop’ consenting process was also discussed, and the implementation of technology specific auctions to allow development of offshore wind was deemed favourable. Key constraints identified for Scotland related to the future political stability of the sector in light of devolved UK government functions; delays caused by lack of knowledge of environmental impacts, and the current political climate surrounding Brexit. The research notes four recommendations for progressing the Irish offshore wind sector, which include: - i). a government policy statement on offshore wind, ii). enactment of foreshore legislation to enable project development, iii). increased integration and resourcing across government departments, and iv). increased capacity building (knowledge generation and engagement of stakeholders).

description: Both gas and electricity networks will play a key role in supporting the uptake of new technologies and meeting decarbonization challenges. In this regard, the integration of the electricity and gas sectors can optimise the assessment and usage of both grids, whilst continuing to meet the European energy policy objectives of sustainability, security of energy supply and competitiveness. Thus, the report aims to review the existing interconnection capacity between the island of Ireland and neighbouring territories, and new interconnection projects that have been proposed by several consortia. Both electricity and gas interconnections are evaluated and their potential for facilitating energy exports is discussed.

description: The insecticidal efficacy and persistence of Nigerian raw diatomaceous earth (DE) were evaluated in the laboratory on cowpea against Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The raw DE was applied to 1.5 kg lots of cowpea seeds at 0 (untreated control), 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg, and a commercial DE formulation (Protect-It®) applied at 1000 mg/kg was included in the test as positive (treated) control. The treated cowpea seeds were kept under ambient laboratory conditions (26 - 34°C and 24 - 93% RH. Bioassays were conducted on samples taken from each treatment at the day of storage and every 30 d for 6 consecutive months. Adult C. maculatus were exposed for 3 and 5 d to the samples and adult mortality was assessed over this exposure interval and progeny production and seed damage were assessed after additional 30 d. On freshly treated cowpea, both the raw DE and Protect-It® were highly effective against C. maculatus causing 100% adult mortality following 5 d of exposure. In general, the raw DE was less persistent on cowpea providing complete adult mortality only for two months. Protect-It® on the other hand was stable over the 6- month period of storage causing 95.8 to 100% adult mortality. None of the treatments completely inhibited progeny production after 2-3-moths storage period. The results of this study indicated that Protect-It® may provide suitable protection for 6 months against C. maculatus, but the raw DE in its present state is not suitable for long-term protection against this insect pest.

description: Lived experiences of Jamaican youth play a significant role in how they make meaning of climate change. Despite evidence of strong local knowledge of climate change issues and relevance of place attachment, maladaptive attitudes towards climate action undermines widescale community-based responses from youth. This study conducted 18 interviews with young people and climate change related organisations to explore underlying factors that lead to gaps in climate change responsiveness. The study revealed longstanding barriers to youth participation such as tokenistic youth engagement and limited financial capacity to implement climate solutions in communities. Critical perspectives on behalf a vulnerable community spotlighted the disadvantaged position of deaf youth in climate participation stemming mainly from overt communication barriers and relatively limited inclusion opportunities. The study highlights fragmented yet encouraging examples of youth’s execution of climate related projects at the community and national level. Nonetheless peer and institutional perspectives endorse youths’ influence, leadership capabilities and adroitness of communication technologies to change the face of climate change communication. The nascent, dutiful climate activism (O’brien, Selboe and Hayward, 2018) in Jamaica is a harbinger of the immense potential of this demographic mounting robust responses to counteract climate change in localised contexts.
Findings are presented through a communication for social change lens to demonstrate capacity of youth to be mobilisers of change and enhance resilience structures in places of vested personal interest. Patterns in youth engagement reveal opportunities to capitalise on the dynamic communication landscape and youth’s sensitivity to community and cultural norms to build out processes for participation. A proposal is advanced for the creation of a dialogic communication structure that engages both online and offline modalities to translate into community impact. This also presents opportunities for youth living outside of native communities to collaborate with current residents and other stakeholders to address climate challenges.

description: In a newly born (high-temperature and Keplerian rotating) neutron star, r-mode instability can lead to stellar differential rotation, which winds the seed poloidal magnetic field ($\sim 10^{11}$ G) to generate an ultra-high ($\sim 10^{17}$ G) toroidal field component. Subsequently, by succumbing to the Tayler instability, the toroidal field could be partially transformed into a new poloidal field. Through such dynamo processes, the newly born neutron star with sufficiently rapid rotation could become a magnetar on a timescale of $\sim 10^{2-3}$ s, with a surface dipolar magnetic field of $\sim10^{15}$ G. Accompanying the field amplification, the star could spin down to a period of $\sim5$ ms through gravitational wave radiation due to the r-mode instability and, in particular, the non-axisymmetric stellar deformation caused by the toroidal field. This scenario provides a possible explanation for why the remnant neutron stars formed in gamma-ray bursts and superluminous supernovae could be millisecond magnetars.

description: DIRAC (Distributed Infrastructure with Remote Agent Control) is a general framework for the management of tasks over distributed heterogeneous computing environments. It has been originally developed to support the production activities of the LHCb (Large Hadron Collider Beauty) experiment and today is extensively used by several particle physics and biology communities. Current ($Fermi$ Large Area Telescope -- LAT) and planned (Cherenkov Telescope Array -- CTA) new generation astrophysical/cosmological experiments, with very large processing and storage needs, are currently investigating the usability of DIRAC in this context. Each of these use cases has some peculiarities: $Fermi$-LAT will interface DIRAC to its own workflow system to allow the access to the grid resources, while CTA is using DIRAC as workflow management system for Monte Carlo production and analysis on the grid. We describe the prototype effort that we lead toward deploying a DIRAC solution for some aspects of $Fermi$-LAT and CTA needs.

description: Renewable energy sources (RES) will play an important role in decarbonizing the electricity grid. However, high penetration of RES introduce new challenges to electrical power systems due to the variable and intermittent nature of energy production. Energy storage and flexible loads are ancillary services that can introduce reliability and resiliency to the electricity grid on a local scale. In this context, electrolysers have the potential to provide both energy storage and flexible loads through the production and storage of hydrogen. Moreover, hydrogen is considered an attractive and versatile alternative energy carrier due to its high calorific value and low environmental impact and it also can be exported as fuel to different markets. Although electrolysers are an interesting option to provide ancillary services, batteries also have the potential to compete in the new system services market as a clean alternative for energy storage and balancing services. Thus, the current report aims to review the capability of electrolysers, most notably Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysers (PEME) and Alkaline Electrolysers (ALKE), to operate under variable conditions and to provide system services in Ireland. Furthermore, a technical-economic comparison of the potential of electrolysers and batteries to provide system services is presented.

description: We revisit the implementation of the metric-independent Fock-Schwinger gauge in the abelian Chern-Simons field theory defined in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ by means of a homotopy condition. This leads to the lagrangian $F \wedge hF$ in terms of curvatures $F$ and of the Poincaré homotopy operator $h$. The corresponding field theory provides the same link invariants as the abelian Chern-Simons theory. Incidentally the part of the gauge field propagator which yields the link invariants of the Chern-Simons theory in the Fock-Schwinger gauge is recovered without any computation.

description: A spiral holographic aperture is used in the condensor plane of a scanning transmission electron microscope to produce a focussed electron vortex probe carrying a topological charge of either $-1,0$ or $+1$. The spiral aperture design has a major advantage over the previously used forked aperture in that the three beams with topological charge $m=-1,0,1$ are not side by side in the specimen plane, but rather on top of each other, focussed at different height. This allows us to have only one selected beam in focus on the sample while the others contribute only to a background signal. In this paper we describe the working principle as well as first experimental results demonstrating atomic resolution HAADF STEM images obtained with electron vortex probes. These results pave the way for atomic resolution magnetic information when combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy.

description: The success of antifungal therapies is often hindered by the limited number of available drugs. To close the gap in the antifungal pipeline, the search of novel leads is of primary importance, and here the exploration of neglected plants has great promise for the discovery of new principles. Through bioassay-guided isolation, uliginosin B and five new dimeric acylphloroglucinols (uliginosins C-D, and 3′prenyl uliginosins B-D), besides cembrenoids, have been isolated from the lipophilic extract of Hypericum mexicanum. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry LC-MS and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements. The compounds showed strong anti-Candida activity, also against fluconazole-resistant strains, with fungal growth inhibition properties at concentrations ranging from 3 to 32 µM, and reduced or absent cytotoxicity against human cell lines. A chemogenomic screen of 3′prenyl uliginosin B revealed target genes that are important for cell cycle regulation and cytoskeleton assembly in fungi. Taken together, our study suggests dimeric acylphloroglucinols as potential candidates for the development of alternative antifungal therapies.

description: This paper presents a parallel memetic algorithm for solving the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). The VRPTW is a well-known NP-hard discrete optimization problem with two objectives. The main objective is to minimize the number of vehicles serving customers scattered on the map, and the second one is to minimize the total distance traveled by the vehicles. Here, the fleet size is minimized in the first phase of the proposed method using the parallel heuristic algorithm (PHA), and the traveled distance is minimized in the second phase by the parallel memetic algorithm (PMA). In both parallel algorithms, the parallel components co-operate periodically in order to exchange the best solutions found so far. An extensive experimental study performed on the Gehring and Homberger's benchmark proves the high convergence capabilities and robustness of both PHA and PMA. Also, we present the speedup analysis of the PMA.

Holotype male: Splash Pot (JF-10), Junee-Florentine karst, Tasmania, Australia, sheet-web on moist wall of stream in cave (twilight and dark zones) to c. 40 m depth, 42°43'S, 146°34'E, 28.VIII.1987 (but probably 28.V.1987), S. Eberhard (AMS KS97169). Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym in honour of Stefan S. Eberhard, whose pioneering work surveying, collecting and documenting the invertebrate cave fauna of Tasmania resulted in the discovery of many new species of troglobitic arthropods, including this species. Diagnosis. Males of Olgania eberhardi can be distinguished from all other described congeners except O. excavata and O. weld by the presence of two prolateral, thorn-like macrosetae on the male pedipalpal tibia (Fig. 183A); and from O. excavata and O. weld by the complete absence of eyes (Fig. 182C). Description. Holotype male: Total length 1.10. Carapace 0.54 long, 0.49 wide. Abdomen 0.73 long, 0.50 wide. Leg I femur 0.86. Cephalothorax, abdominal sclerites brown; legs, abdomen dark tan yellow. Carapace raised anteriorly, fused to sternum via pleural sclerites; dorsal surface of pars cephalica strongly convex in lateral view; carapace and sternum heavily punctate. Eyes absent. Chelicerae each with large, bulging anterior projection; promargin without peg teeth. Legs relatively long (leg I femur-carapace ratio 1.59); macrosetae absent. Abdomen subtriangular, covered with hair-like setae, each seta projecting from small sclerotic spot; dorsal scute and lateral sclerotic strips absent. Pedipalpal patella with retrolaterally-directed, hooked lRPA and strongly recurved, sickle-shaped distal apophysis; tibia with two thorn-like prolateral macrosetae; tegulum smooth, with curved, marginal ETR; embolus long (length> 5× width), looping around prolateral margin of bulb (Fig. 183). Distribution. Known only from the cave Splash Pot in the Junee-Florentine karst of south-central Tasmania (Fig. 213). Remarks. Olgania eberhardi is known only from a single cave in southern Tasmania, where it lives in sympatry with another troglobitic micropholcommatid, Micropholcomma junee (see above). It is completely blind with a large and distinctive pedipalp (Figs 182A–B), and is most similar to O. weld and O. excavata. The holotype specimen was collected from a sheet-web on the cave wall.

description: The rich phase diagram of quantum spin-ladder systems has attracted much attention in the theoretical literature. The progress in experimental realisations of this fascinating physics however has been much slower. While materials with a ladder-like structure exist, one always has coupling between the ladders to muddy the waters. In addition, such materials exhibit limited (if any) tunability in terms of the magnetic exchange parameters, and experimental probing of the different phases is a great challenge. In this work, we show that a realisation of spin-ladder physics can occur in an engineered nanostructure made out of bilayer graphene in the zero-filling quantum Hall state. Specifically, we describe a split-double-gated setup in which a domain wall is explicitly induced in the middle of the sample, and show that an effective spin-ladder forms along this domain wall. The interaction strengths of the ladder are tunable by adjusting magnetic and electric fields as well as the spacing between the gates. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the effective spin ladder has a helical nature, meaning that the spin-correlations may be probed rather simply with charge transport experiments. We describe the phase diagram of this system, and show that certain transport measurements are very sensitive to the phase.

Threshold cascade dynamics on coevolving networks

description: We study the coevolutionary dynamics of network topology and social complex contagion using a threshold cascade model. Our coevolving threshold model incorporates two mechanisms: the threshold mechanism for the spreading of a minority state such as a new opinion, idea, or innovation and the network plasticity implemented as rewiring of links to cut the connections between nodes in different states. Using numerical simulations and a mean-field theoretical analysis, we demonstrate that the coevolutionary dynamics can significantly affect the cascades dynamics. The domain of parameters, i.e., threshold and network mean degree, for which global cascades occur shrinks with increasing network plasticity, indicating that the rewiring process suppresses the onset of global cascades. We also found that during evolution, non-adopted nodes form denser connections, resulting in a wider degree distribution and a non-monotonous dependence of cascades sizes with plasticity.

title: Influence of Emotion Processing and Affect Intensity on the Engagement of Inhibitory Control in Young Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Creators: name: Salander, Zachary
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: How individuals process different affective cues, as well as how intensely they experience different emotions, may influence how efficient they are at engaging inhibitory control. To date, it is unclear if these influences differ among young adults with and without ADHD. The current study tested the variation in young adults’ inhibitory control to three affective cues (i.e., fear, happy, and neutral) in an Emotion Go/Nogo task. Results suggest better inhibitory control in response to more distinct cues (i.e., fear Nogo/happy Go). The order in which cues were presented also mattered, such that participants displayed enhanced inhibitory control when first presented with expressions that had similar valence. This task order was particularly helpful for inhibitory control engagement among young adults with ADHD. Furthermore, self-report measures suggest that young adults with ADHD were associated with higher levels of affect intensity. However, no additional relations were found in the processing of affective cues, affect intensity, and inhibitory control between young adults with and without ADHD. Results provide evidence for how affective cues and contexts differentially influence behavioral responses in young adults. Individuals with and without ADHD also appear to differ in the intensity with which they experience different emotions. Overall, the current study provides a framework for how to further explore how emotional cues and affect intensity influence inhibitory control.
