description: The present analysis is the result of a thinning experiment using natural assemblages of six closely related annual plant species in a Mediterranean Woodland in Western Australia to assess how seed mass influences the outcomes of plan-plant interactions. All analyses were performed in R 4.2.1. Focal plant performance was assessed using survival, adult biomass, and reproductive output. In the models used to address each research question, all six species were included to enable comparisons within and among species. For each species, only one single averaged seed mass value was considered. Survival was modelled as a binary response using a binomial distribution and logit link function. Biomass was relativised as the percentage of the maximum log-transformed biomass to reduce intrinsic differences in biomass among the species and then modelled using a Gaussian distribution. To facilitate comparison across species that differ in fecundity (due to variation in seed mass), reproductive output was relativised as the percentage of the maximum reproductive effort for each species. This relative fecundity response was modelled using a negative binomial distribution and log link function. Mixed-effects models were used to account for observations nested within plots, and observations nested within species. Specifically, we used the packages lme4 and glmmTMB. All continuous explanatory variables were standardized to zero mean and unit variance before analyses.

In particular we consider the class of cylindrical martingales with closed operator-generated covariations. We also prove that for every cylindrical continuous local martingale $M$ there exists a time change $τ$ such that $M\circ τ$ is Brownian representable.

description: The unfortunate fact of consumption is that enjoyment decreases with repeated consumption, a phenomenon known as hedonic decline. This work investigates how the structure of repeated consumption influences such hedonic decline. Repeated consumption may occur across a series of consumption units, such as individual songs within a playlist or a series of posts on a social media feed. This work examines how two specific consumption structures, increasing and decreasing, can influence hedonic decline for such multi-unit consumption episodes. Increasing (vs. decreasing) structures refer to circumstances where consumption quantity grows (vs. declines) with repetition (e.g., the duration of songs: 3-minutes, 4-minutes, 5-minutes (or the reverse); or the number of images in successive social media posts: 1 photo followed by 3 photos (or the reverse)). Five experiments and one archival study show that, holding the total consumption quantity constant, decreasing structures attenuate hedonic decline relative to increasing structures. This structure effect is driven by changes in beliefs about subjective quantity consumed and is mitigated by providing an external reference about consumption quantity. Further, this structure effect has significant impacts on consumer choices. These findings speak to how consumers and firms can structure consumption episodes to minimize hedonic decline and, thus, maximize utility.

description: The pion-nucleon $σ$-term can be stringently constrained by the combination of analyticity, unitarity, and crossing symmetry with phenomenological information on the pion-nucleon scattering lengths. Recently, lattice calculations at the physical point have been reported that find lower values by about $3σ$ with respect to the phenomenological determination. We point out that a lattice measurement of the pion-nucleon scattering lengths could help resolve the situation by testing the values extracted from spectroscopy measurements in pionic atoms.

Making the process of contribution and participation in research software projects more inclusive and welcoming for a diverse audience will lead to the software better for all researchers. The complexity and domain specificity of research software poses unique challenges for community building and external contributions. How can we help researchers and Research Software Engineers make their projects more inclusive for the users and contributors with different backgrounds? I hope to share some insight I gained working with different communities in the open science, research and data spaces, from global movements like the Carpentries and Mozilla Open Leaders. I wish to discuss and explore with the community some of the practices that I think are transferable into the research software community and can help lower the barriers for contribution.
Role of symmetries in the Kerr-Schild derivation of the Kerr black hole

description: In this work we explore the consequences of considering from the very beginning the stationary and axisymmetric properties of the Kerr black hole as one attempts to derive this solution through the Kerr-Schild ansatz. The first consequence is kinematical and is based on a new stationary and axisymmetric version of the Kerr theorem that yields to the precise shear-free and geodesic null congruence of flat spacetime characterizing the Kerr solution. A straightforward advantage of this strategy is that now the parameter $a$ appears naturally as associated to the conserved angular momentum of the geodesics due to axisymmetry. The second consequence is dynamical and takes into account the circularity theorem. In fact, a stationary-axisymmetric Kerr-Schild ansatz is in general incompatible with the circularity property warranted by vacuum Einstein equations unless the remaining angular dependence in the Kerr-Schild profile appears fixed in a precise way. Thanks to these two ingredients, the integration of the Einstein equations reduces to a simple ordinary differential equation on the radial dependence, whose integration constant is precisely the mass $m$. This derivation of the Kerr solution is simple but rigorous, and it may be suitable for any textbook.

description: We propose topological Hochschild homology as a tool for measuring ramification of maps of structured ring spectra. We determine second order topological Hochschild homology of the $p$-local integers. For the tamely ramified extension of the map from the connective Adams summand to $p$-local complex topological K-theory we determine the relative topological Hochschild homology and show that it detects the tame ramification of this extension. We also determine relative topological Hochschild homology for the complexification map from connective real to complex topological K-theory and for some quotient maps with commutative quotients.

The Introduction of Human and AI-Powered Virtual Influencers on Social Media Marketing

description: In the rapidly expanding influencer marketing sector, positive consumer sentiment towards sponsored content plays a crucial role in the success of sponsoring brands and influencers. However, research shows that consumers are more likely to react negatively to sponsored videos than non-sponsored ones. We investigate how influencers can potentially diminish the negative impact of sponsorship on consumer sentiment by modulating their vocal characteristics in sponsored videos compared to non-sponsored videos. We use three causal identification strategies: instrumental variables, fuzzy regression discontinuity, and two-way fixed effects. To extract multi-modal 3V features (voice, visual, and verbal), we employ deep learning methods. We conclude that influencers significantly reduce the average loudness of their voices in sponsored videos relative to non-sponsored ones, and this difference in average loudness partly alleviates the negative impact of sponsorship on consumer sentiment. This vocal strategy of lowering loudness is more likely to be employed by influencers with shorter tenure. We discuss the implications for various stakeholders, including influencers, brands, consumers, and regulatory bodies.

Analysis of the Intrinsic Mid-Infrared L-band to Visible--Near-Infrared Flux Ratios in Spectral Synthesis Models of Composite Stellar Populations

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the intrinsic flux ratios of various visible--near-infrared filters with respect to 3.5micron for simple and composite stellar populations, and their dependence on age, metallicity and star formation history. UV/optical light from stars is reddened and attenuated by dust, where different sightlines across a galaxy suffer varying amounts of extinction. Tamura et al. (2009) developed an approximate method to correct for dust extinction on a pixel-by-pixel basis, dubbed the "beta_V" method, by comparing the observed flux ratio to an empirical estimate of the intrinsic ratio of visible and ~3.5micron data. Through extensive modeling, we aim to validate the "beta_V" method for various filters spanning the visible through near-infrared wavelength range, for a wide variety of simple and composite stellar populations. Combining Starburst99 and BC03 models, we built spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of simple (SSP) and composite (CSP) stellar populations for various realistic star formation histories (SFHs), while taking metallicity evolution into account. We convolve various 0.44--1.65micron filter throughput curves with each model SED to obtain intrinsic flux ratios beta_{lam,0}. When unconstrained in redshift, the total allowed range of beta_{V,0} is 0.6--4.7, or almost a factor of eight. At known redshifts, and in particular at low redshifts (z<0.01), beta_{V,0} is predicted to span a narrow range of 0.6--1.9, especially for early-type galaxies (0.6--0.7), and is consistent with observed beta_V values. The beta_lam method can therefore serve as a first-order dust correction method for large galaxy surveys that combine JWST (rest-frame 3.5micron) and HST (rest-frame visible--near-IR) data.

description: This paper provides a complete characterization of the boundary of an achievable rate region, called the Pareto boundary, of the single-antenna Z interference channel (Z-IC), when interference is treated as noise and users transmit complex Gaussian signals that are allowed to be improper. By considering the augmented complex formulation, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for improper signaling to be optimal. This condition is stated as a threshold on the interference channel coefficient, which is a function of the interfered user rate and which allows insightful interpretations into the behavior of the achievable rates in terms of the circularity coefficient (i.e., degree of impropriety). Furthermore, the optimal circularity coefficient is provided in closed form. The simplicity of the obtained characterization permits interesting insights into when and how improper signaling outperforms proper signaling in the single-antenna Z-IC. We also provide an in-depth discussion on the optimal strategies and the properties of the Pareto boundary.
The Contraction/Expansion History of Charon with implication for its Planetary Scale Tectonic Belt

description: The New Horizons mission to the Kuiper Belt has recently revealed intriguing features on the surface of Charon, including a network of chasmata, cutting across or around a series of high topography features, conjoining to form a belt. It is proposed that this tectonic belt is a consequence of contraction/expansion episodes in the moon's evolution associated particularly with compaction, differentiation and geochemical reactions of the interior. The proposed scenario involves no need for solidification of a vast subsurface ocean and/or a warm initial state. This scenario is based on a new, detailed thermo-physical evolution model of Charon that includes multiple processes. According to the model, Charon experiences two contraction/expansion episodes in its history that may provide the proper environment for the formation of the tectonic belt. This outcome remains qualitatively the same, for several different initial conditions and parameter variations. The precise orientation of Charon's tectonic belt, and the cryovolcanic features observed south of the tectonic belt may have involved a planetary-scale impact, that occurred only after the belt had already formed.

description: The Higgs-portal lepton flavor violation is studied in a vectorlike lepton model. For evading the constraints from rare $Z\to \ell^\pm_i \ell^\mp_j$ decays, we introduce two triplet vectorlike leptons, $(1,3)_{-1}$ and $(1,3)_{0}$. The resultant branching ratio for $h\to μτ$ can be up to $10^{-4}$ when the constraints from the invisible $Z$ decays are applied. As a result, the signal strength for $ττ$ channel has a $12\%$ deviation from the standard model prediction, while the muon $g-2$ is two-order of magnitude smaller than the data and $BR(τ\to μγ)$ is of order of $10^{-12}$. A predicted doubly charged lepton in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV is analyzed and it is found that the interesting production channels are $pp\to (Ψ^{--}_{1} Ψ^{++}_1, Ψ^{\pm\pm}_1 Ψ^\mp_1)$. Both single and pair production cross sections of $Ψ^{++}_1$ are comparable and can be a few hundred fb. The main decay channels for the doubly charged lepton are $Ψ^{\pm\pm} \to \ell^\pm W^\pm$ and for the heavy singly charged lepton are $Ψ^\pm_1 \to νW^\pm, \ell^\pm Z$. The numerical analysis is given at $13$ TeV LHC with $100$ fb$^{-1}$ luminosity.

description: We present a holographic perspective on momentum transport in strongly coupled, anisotropic non-Abelian plasmas in the presence of strong magnetic fields. We compute the anisotropic heavy quark drag forces and Langevin diffusion coefficients and also the anisotropic shear viscosities for two different holographic models, namely, a top-down deformation of strongly coupled $\mathcal{N} = 4$ Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory triggered by an external Abelian magnetic field, and a bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) model which is able to provide a quantitative description of lattice QCD thermodynamics with $(2+1)$-flavors at both zero and nonzero magnetic fields. We find that, in general, energy loss and momentum diffusion through strongly coupled anisotropic plasmas are enhanced by a magnetic field being larger in transverse directions than in the direction parallel to the magnetic field. Moreover, the anisotropic shear viscosity coefficient is smaller in the direction of the magnetic field than in the plane perpendicular to the field, which indicates that strongly coupled anisotropic plasmas become closer to the perfect fluid limit along the magnetic field. We also present, in the context of the EMD model, holographic predictions for the entropy density and the crossover critical temperature in a wider region of the $(T,B)$ phase diagram that has not yet been covered by lattice simulations. Our results for the transport coefficients in the phenomenologically realistic magnetic EMD model could be readily used as inputs in numerical codes for magnetohydrodynamics.

description: Zielbereiche der vorliegenden Arbeit stellten sowohl die Analysen zur Auswirkung eines Schlafentzuges (SE) unter Tryptophan-Depletion (TD) auf die hormonellen Parameter Prolaktin (PRL), Cortisol, Thyreotropin (TSH), Trijodthyronin (T3) und Thyroxin (T4) als auch die daraus resultierenden Rückschlüsse im Hinblick auf eine Verzahnung dieser Parameter nicht nur mit der depressiven Symptomatik sondern auch mit den SE-Wirkmechanismen dar. Zur Untersuchung dieser bislang im Rahmen der biologischen Depressionsforschung unberücksichtigten Kombination gelangten 22 SE-Responder, die sich einem doppelblind aktiv placebokontrollierten (SHAM) Parallelgruppendesign unterzogen. Die eigenen Beobachtungen einer blanden Response nach SE unter TD im Vergleich zur SHAM-Version des PRL und TSH einerseits sowie des Cortisols andererseits im Sinne eines abgeschwächten Plasmakonzentrationsanstiegs bzw. -abfalls sprechen zugunsten der Hypothese, daß der SE über serotonerge Wirkmechanismen zumindest teilreguliert werden dürfte. Die Konzentrationsunterschiede zwischen den Untersuchungsgruppen, die am SE-Nachmittag für PRL, Cortisol und TSH signifikant ausfallen, trotz gleichzeitig deutlicher Besserung der depressiven Symptomatik aller Patienten, legen zudem die Folgerung nahe, daß die divergierende hormonelle Antwort auf eine TD als Trigger einer klinischen Differenzierbarkeit der Depressionstiefe insuffizient zu sein scheint.
description: The present double-blind and placebo-controlled study was designed to analyse the impact of sleep-deprivation under tryptophane-depletion in depressed patients on hormones, e.g. prolactine, cortisol, TSH, T3, and T4. Current data support the hypothesis that sleep-deprivation might act as an antidepressant by serotonergic pathways. Thus, alterations of these relevant humoral parameters could expected by decreased serotonergic activity after tryptophane-depletion. We investigated 22 depressed patients who responded to one night of sleep-deprivation. Tryptophane-depletion led to a blunted increase of prolactine and TSH, whereas cortisol plasma-level revealed a blunted decrease. No difference between tryptophane-depletion and placebo could be spot concerning neither T3 nor T4. Our results support the idea that serotonergic pathways might be involved in the interactions following sleep-deprivation, but cannot explain the complex alterations of the aforementioned hormones alone.

Die randomisierte, plazebokontrollierte, doppelblinde cross-over Studie mit 20 gesunden Probanden wurde durchgeführt, um weitere Informationen sowohl über eine Dosis-Wirkungsbeziehung als auch über dosisabhängige pharmakokinetische Parameter und Verträglichkeit zu erhalten. Das Ziel war die Messung der Kolontransitzeit und der Zeit bis zum Wirkungseintritt und der Überprüfung, ob es eine Beziehung zwischen den kinetischen und dynamischen Parametern gibt. Die Probanden nahmen jeweils 5, 10 oder 15 mg Natriumpicosulfat-Tropfen oder Plazebo in einer oralen Einmaldosis. Die Kolontransitzeit, die Zeit bis zum Wirkungseintritt, die Urinausscheidung von BHPM (aktiver Metabolit von Natriumpicosulfat) und die Verträglichkeit wurden untersucht. Die mittlere Kolontransitzeit und die mittlere Zeit bis zum Wirkungseintritt waren nach Einnahme von 5, 10 und 15 mg Natriumpicosulfat-Tropfen im Vergleich zu Plazebo signifikant verkürzt. Es konnte jedoch keine eindeutige Dosis-Wirkungsbeziehung gefunden werden. Die Ausscheidung von BHPM sinkt mit Erhöhung der Natriumpicosulfatdosis und einer beschleunigten Kolontransitzeit. Die Verträglichkeit war gut. Die Nebenwirkungen (Magenkrämpfe, Blähungen) sind das Resultat der motilitätswirksamen Eigenschaften von Natriumpicosulfat.
description: Sodium picosulfate drops allow a very accurate dosage. The randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind cross-over study in 20 healthy volunteers was to provide further information about a dose-response ratio as well as dose-dependent pharmacokinetic parameters and tolerance. The aim was to measure transit time and time to onset of action and to check whether there was a correlation between kinetic and dynamic data. The volunteers received 5, 10 and 15 mg sodium picosulfate drops or placebo orally in a single dose. Colon transit time, time to onset of defecation, urinary excretion of BHPM (the active principle of sodium picosulfate) and tolerability were tested. Mean transit time and mean time to onset were significantly reduced by 5, 10 and 15 mg of sodium picosulfate, compared to placebo. No clear dose-response ratio could be found. The urinary excretion of BHPM dropped with increase of administered dose and accelerated transit velocity. The tolerance was good. The adverse events (stomach cramps, flatulence) are the result of motility stimulating effect of sodium picosulfate.

description: This is a continuation to the paper [arXiv:1511.08164] in which a problem of minimizing normalized volumes over $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein klt singularities was proposed. Here we consider its relation with K-semistability, which is an important concept in the study of Kähler-Einstein metrics on Fano varieties. In particular, we prove that for a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety $V$, the K-semistability of $(V, -K_V)$ is equivalent to the condition that the normalized volume is minimized at the canonical valuation ${\rm ord}_V$ among all $\mathbb{C}^*$-invariant valuations on the cone associated to any positive Cartier multiple of $-K_V$. In this case, it's shown that ${\rm ord}_V$ is the unique minimizer among all $\mathbb{C}^*$-invariant quasi-monomial valuations. These results allow us to give characterizations of K-semistability by using equivariant volume minimization, and also by using inequalities involving divisorial valuations over $V$.

description: We study how the Rashba spin-orbit interaction influences unconventional superconductivity in a two dimensional electron gas partially spin-polarized by a magnetic field. Somewhat surprisingly, we find that for all field orientations, only the larger Fermi surface is superconducting. When the magnetic field is oriented out-of-plane the system realizes a topological $p+ip$ pairing state. When the field is rotated in-plane the order parameter develops nodes along the field direction and finite center-of-mass-momentum pairing is realized. We demonstrate that the pairing symmetry of the system can be easily probed experimentally due to the dependence of various thermodynamic quantities on the magnetic field geometry, and calculate the electronic specific heat as an example.

description: In this integrative report, we focus on the mechanisms studied in the LIGHTCAP project and the knowledge gained, or yet to be learned from the remaining analyses. Many projects are still ongoing, meaning that in most case only preliminary conclusions can be drawn at this stage. For further details and references, the reader is referred to the published and forthcoming manuscripts of the individual ESRs. The purpose of this deliverable is merely serves to outline at a high-level the directions and interrelationships of the numerous studies – both completed and ongoing – in LIGHTCAP.Following a presentation of the insights gained on the biological mechanisms of the non-image forming (NIF) impact of light, we present sources of modulation or variation of these mechanisms arising from i) biological factors and interaction between biological factors – ageing, disease, stress, arousal – and ii) light characteristics. We end the report with a description of what we consider to be the most urgent knowledge gaps about the mechanisms of action of light that need to be addressed in the future.

description: The article presents new evidence for the Neolithic habitation on Ithaca, consisting of ceramic and stone finds, recognised among material from the University of Ioannina excavations at the site of Agios Athanasios-School of Homer in the northwest part of Ithaca, Greece. The new Neolithic site is considered within the wider cultural context of the Ionian Islands, in the late 5th/4th millennium BC. Our current knowledge suggests a permanent Neolithic occupation at the site, as opposed to seasonal occupation or to a special purpose occupation. The Neolithic people at the School of Homer may have been part of a dynamic network of Late/Final Neolithic installations in Western Greece, engaging themselves in inter-regional communal connections along the routes of the most ancient seafaring in the Ionian Sea.

description: In dieser Dissertation wurden die ungewöhnlichen und einzigartigen Eigenschaften von Edelmetall-Clustern untersucht, die durch Quantum-Confinement im Sub-Nanometer-Bereich entstehen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften und damit die Funktionen nicht vom Festkörper abgeleitet werden können und stark von der Anzahl der Atome abhängen. Die erzielten theoretischen Ergebnisse wurden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit experimentell arbeitenden Partnergruppen erzielt. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass durch die enge Kooperation zwischen Theorie und Experiment ein tiefes Verständnis von fundamentalen Prozessen und den zugrunde liegenden Mechanismen erlangt werden kann. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurden die Reaktivität von geladenen Goldoxid-Clustern in der Gasphase, die ultraschnelle Dynamik von Edelmetall-Clustern und deren Komplexen sowie die optischen Eigenschaften von kleinen, deponierten Silber-Clustern untersucht und damit Beiträge geliefert, die einzigartigen Eigenschaften von Edelmetall-Clustern im Zusammenhang mit der heterogenen Katalyse und Nano-Optik besser zu verstehen.
description: In this thesis, the unique novel properties of noble metal clusters which arise in the sub-nanometer size regime due to quantum confinement have been theoretically explored. It has been demonstrated that by adding or removing a single atom the chemical and physical properties and functionality of noble-metal clusters can strongly change. The theoretical results have been derived in close cooperation with experimental findings of partner groups demonstrating that by joint theoretical and experimental efforts thorough understanding of fundamental processes and underlying mechanisms can be achieved. This thesis addresses the reactivity of charged gas-phase gold-oxide clusters in the context of the heterogeneous gold nano-catalysis, the ultrafast dynamical properties of noble-metal clusters and their complexes, and the optical properties of silver clusters at surfaces.

description: Acoustic levitation has recently demonstrated the ability to create volumetric content by trapping and quickly moving particles along reference paths to reveal shapes in mid-air. However, the problem of specifying physically feasible trap trajectories to display desired shapes remains unsolved. Even if only the final shape is of interest to the content creator, the trap trajectories need to determine where and when the traps need to be, for the particle to reveal the intended shape. We propose OptiTrap, the first structured numerical approach to compute trap trajectories for acoustic levitation displays. Our approach generates trap trajectories that are physically feasible and nearly time-optimal, and reveal generic mid-air shapes, given only a reference path (i.e., a shape with no time information). We provide a multi-dimensional model of the acoustic forces around a trap to model the trap-particle system dynamics and compute optimal trap trajectories by formulating and solving a non-linear path following problem. We formulate our approach and evaluate it, demonstrating how OptiTrap consistently produces feasible and nearly optimal paths, with increases in size, frequency, and accuracy of the shapes rendered, allowing us to demonstrate larger and more complex shapes than ever shown to date.

title: Satire and anxieties concerning female sexuality and transexuality in late Elizabethan and early Jacobean England
Creators: name: Blandford, Lynsey Dawn
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The thesis employs Marston’s Certaine Satyres, The Scourge o f Villanie, and Everard Guilpin’s Skialetheia to expose satiric portraits of late Elizabethan characters and vices which in turn reflect themes of gender and sexual perversions. These themes are traced throughout contemporary literary works to expose their literary tradition and the development of their treatment. The location and exploration of types in literary traditions and society reveals evidence of a greater overarching fear of the malleability of gender through sexuality and social change, a process of transexuality. The examination of attitudes and fears surrounding sexuality and the self preceding from an enquiry of Marston’s and Guilpin’s satires is completely original and diverges from the general consensus of literary criticism of the satires. The works analysed within the thesis are from a wide range of genres spanning the period from 1580 to 1630, including satire, epic, lyric, tragedy, comedy and pamphlets, with the additional support of an eclectic mix of cognate visual and cultural material. By exploring the literary representations and cultural treatment of figures of gender and sexual deviancy the study contributes a greater understanding of the anxieties concerning female sexuality and transexuality in late Elizabethan and early Jacobean England.

description: Many proofs in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are based on the probabilistic method. To prove the existence of a good object, we pick a random object and show that it is bad with low probability. This method is effective, but the underlying probabilistic machinery can be daunting. "Encoding arguments" provide an alternative presentation in which probabilistic reasoning is encapsulated in a "uniform encoding lemma". This lemma provides an upper bound on the probability of an event using the fact that a uniformly random choice from a set of size $n$ cannot be encoded with fewer than $\log_2 n$ bits on average. With the lemma, the argument reduces to devising an encoding where bad objects have short codewords. In this expository article, we describe the basic method and provide a simple tutorial on how to use it. After that, we survey many applications to classic problems from discrete mathematics and computer science. We also give a generalization for the case of non-uniform distributions, as well as a rigorous justification for the use of non-integer codeword lengths in encoding arguments. These latter two results allow encoding arguments to be applied more widely and to produce tighter results.

description: The present research investigated the effect of a new nano-fertilizer derived from Paulownia on some morpho-physiological traits of the green basil plant under drought stress conditions to evaluate the possibility of reducing nutrient uptake problems from the soil by the plant under water-scarcity conditions. The experiment was done as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Kurdistan research greenhouse, in 2017. Different concentrations of carbon-based nano-fertilizers, including 0, 50, 70, 90, and 110 ppm, and various irrigation regimes including 100, 75, and 50% of field capacity were considered as design factors. Results showed that drought stress reduced the height, dry leaf weight and stem, yield, and amount of phosphorus and potassium of leaf, stem, and root while increasing length, weight and root volume. The plant nano-fertilizer spraying increased the weight of leaf, stem, and yield, especially in higher concentrations. Using the nano-fertilizer reduced the length, weight and root volume, and this decrease in root growth was higher at higher concentrations of the nano-fertilizer. Applying an appropriate concentration of nano-fertilizer increased the basil dry matter yield by 50% compared to control by increasing the absorption and supply of essential elements for plant growth and enhancing the growth of the aerial parts of the plant. Therefore, this organic nano-fertilizer can be useful and recommended as a strategy to improve plant growth and reduce the effects of drought stress on the growth and yield of plants in drought stress conditions.

description: We study the turbulent transport of an ion cyclotron resonance heated (ICRH), MeV range minority ion species in tokamak plasmas. Such highly energetic minorities, which can be produced in the three ion minority heating scheme [Ye. O. Kazakov et al. (2015) Nucl. Fusion 55, 032001], have been proposed to be used to experimentally study the confinement properties of fast ions without the generation of fusion alphas. We compare the turbulent transport properties of ICRH ions with that of fusion born alpha particles. Our theoretical predictions indicate that care must be taken when conclusions are drawn from experimental results: While the effect of turbulence on these particles is similar in terms of transport coefficients, differences in their distribution functions - ultimately their generation processes - make the resulting turbulent fluxes different.
