description: The new neutron-deficient isotope $^{249}$No was synthesized for the first time in the fusion-evaporation reaction $^{204}$Pb($^{48}$Ca,3n)$^{249}$No. After separation, using the kinematic separator SHELS, the new isotope was identified with the GABRIELA detection system through genetic correlations with the known daughter and granddaughter nuclei $^{245}$Fm and $^{241}$Cf. The alpha-decay activity of $^{249}$No has an energy of 9129(22)$~$keV and half-life 38.3(2.8) ms. An upper limit of 0.2\% was measured for the fission branch of $^{249}$No. Based on the present data and recent information on the decay properties of $^{253}$Rf and aided by Geant4 simulations, the ground state of $^{249}$No is assigned the 5/2$^+$[622] neutron configuration and a partial decay scheme from $^{253}$Rf to $^{245}$Fm could be established. The production cross-section was found to be $σ$(3n)=0.47(4) nb at a mid-target beam energy of 225.4 MeV, which corresponds to the maximum of the calculated excitation function. Correlations of the $^{249}$No alpha activity with subsequent alpha decays of energy 7728(20) keV and half-life $1.2_{-0.4}^{+1.0}$ min provided a firm measurement of the electron-capture or $β^{+}$ branch of $^{245}$Fm to $^{245}$Es. The excitation function for the 1n, 2n and 3n evaporation channels was measured. In the case of the 2n-evaporation channel $^{250}$No, a strong variation of the ground state and isomeric state populations as a function of bombarding energy could be evidenced.

description: Imaging studies with the VLA have revealed HI emission associated with the extended circumstellar shells of red giants. We analyse the spectral map obtained on Y CVn, a J-type carbon star on the AGB. The HI line profiles can be interpreted with a model of a detached shell resulting from the interaction of a stellar outflow with the local interstellar medium. We reproduce the spectral map by introducing a distortion along a direction corresponding to the star's motion in space. We then use this fitting to simulate observations expected from the FAST radiotelescope, and discuss its potential for improving ourdescription of the outer regions of circumstellar shells.

The rekinning: portrayals of postwar Black German transnational adoption
Creators: name: Peña, Rosemarie H.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This discourse analysis focuses on two historical adoption documentaries that were released in Germany and the United States in 2011. Regina Griffin's Brown Babies: The Mischlingskinder Story and Michaela Kirst's Brown Babies: Germany's Lost Children each portray life narratives and dramatize reunions of select members of a finite, generational cohort of dual-heritage, Black German transnational adoptees born to local German women and mostly African American GIs in the aftermath of World War II. The documentaries’ debuts coincide with the emergence of Black German adoption as a topic of interest in multiple academic realms. The films also arrive at a time when many adoptees are either searching for their mothers or are actively in reunion with their first families in the US and in Germany making them opportune objects of study for an inquiry into Black German adoption. Adoption scholar Sylvia Posocco refers to the social apparatus that transfers children from their original families as the “technology of kinning” and suggests that kinning “refers not only to the construction of new forms of relatedness, but also, crucially, to the suspension and severing of relations, as well as to deeply politically charged claims for the reactivation of connections and enfleshment” (569).For Black German adoptees, enfleshment is taking place in the re-emerging—in the storytelling— in the interpreting of their life narratives and reunion experiences. Drawing on Posocco’s ideas, this analysis considers the implications of enfleshment on Black German reunification, and the potential impacts on the adoptees’ renegotiations of self and identity, and the social relations that rekinning engenders.For over two decades, propelled by rapidly advancing internet technologies and broadband communications, Black German adoptees have also been nurturing relationships with those who share their adoption experience and—individually and collectively—with other Black Germans having diverse cultural and family backgrounds and representing multiple generations. At such a time in history, and as Black Germans adoptees are renegotiating their complicated multicultural and transnational identities privately and publicly, this study argues that visual and filmic representation matter.
The Veterinary Feed Directive

description: We will be writing Veterinary Feed Directives (VFDs) and prescriptions in December of 2016 to authorize the use of medically important antibiotics in the feed and water of our client's animals starting on January 1, 2017. The major challenge for our profession is not to master the limited number of labels we will be dealing with, or to master the VFD process; it is that we are now not only responsible forauthorizing the use of almost every antibiotic in food animals, we are also accountable. The decision process for if we should provide a VFD or prescription is centered on applying our professional training and experience to establish a clinical justification for the use. This process centers on these considerations. Do I have a valid VCPR? Is there a reason for this use or is it just habit? Is it legal? Is it effective? Are there any issues with residues or antibiotic resistance to consider? After these considerations, veterinarians are then responsible to lead in antibiotic stewardship. This involves assuring accurate case definitions, searching for antibiotic alternatives, selecting the appropriate antibiotic, monitoring use, and constant re-evaluation of the need for the antibiotic.

description: The recently discovered high-T$_c$ superconductor Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$ is a unique compound not only because of its low symmetry crystal structure, but also because of its electronic structure which hosts Dirac-like metallic bands resulting from (spacer) zig-zag As chains. We present a comprehensive first principles theoretical study of the electronic and crystal structures of Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$. After discussing the connection between the crystal structure of the 112 family, which Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$ is a member of, with the other known structures of Fe pnictide superconductors, we check the thermodynamic phase stability of CaFeAs$_{2}$, and similar hyphothetical compounds SrFeAs$_{2}$ and BaFeAs$_{2}$ which, we find, are slightly higher in energy. We calculate the optical conductivity of Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$ using the DFT + DMFT method, and predict a large in-plane resistivity anisotropy in the normal phase, which does not originate from electronic nematicity, but is enhanced by the electronic correlations. In particular, we predict a 0.34 eV peak in the $yy$ component of the optical conductivity of the 30\% La doped compound, which correponds to coherent interband transitions within a fast-dispersing band arising from the zig-zag As-chains which are unique to this compound. We also study the Landau free energy for Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$ including the order parameter relevant for the nematic transition and find that the free energy does not have any extra terms that could induce ferro-orbital order. This explains why the presence of As chains does not broaden the nematic transition in Ca$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$FeAs$_{2}$.

Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Oceanographic conditions in the brackish Central Baltic Sea are strongly linked to the atmospheric forcing and the unusual period of persistently high NAO-index values since the late 1980s resulted in an increase in average water temperatures and decreasing salinities. Changes in temperature and salinity have resulted in a dominance change in the mesozooplankton community from Pseudocalanus sp. to Temora longicornis and Acartia spp. Similar to the copepod community, the Central Baltic fish community shifted from a cod (Gadus morhua) dominance during the 1980s to a sprat (Sprattus sprattus) dominance during the 1990s. Further, the commercially important pelagic fish species herring (Clupea harengus) and sprat exhibited drastic fluctuations in growth. Using time-series data in Principal Component and Correlation Analyses we investigated the importance of the food supply as well as competition on condition of Central Baltic pelagic fish species. Our results indicate a combined effect of changes in the feeding environment and increased competition on condition of herring, while sprat condition appeared to be primarily determined by intra-specific competition.

description: To be economically competitive, it is important that livestock producers and their advisors understand key economic principles such that they make good business and management decisions. A lot of terms exist to define/describe costs (e.g., variable, fixed, cash, non-cash) and it is important to know what these are, and more importantly, how they tie into financial decisions that need to be made. Partial budgets, which can range from very simple to extremely complex, can be a powerful tool to help in the decision-making process.

description: Animal welfare is emerging as one of the key social concerns regarding animal agriculture. Concern for the welfare of farms animals is not new, but the last few years have seen increased interest in farm practices. One of the dairy industry's core strengths is the very positive view that many people have about dairy farming. Many consumers believe that cows spend their days grazing green pastures. This strength can also be regarded as a threat if some industry practices no longer match evolving public expectations. Every year there are fewer farms, and the ever decreasing proportion of society that works within this industry will never be able to able to 'educate' the large majority, at least not on all issues, all of the time. Moreover, the farmers themselves are part of this rapidly evolving society, and practices that were accepted by past generations as necessary may not seem so to the next generation of producers. Change will happen. During my presentation I will highlight some of our most recent work on engaging dairy farmers and the public as a means to help identify practices that do and do not come into harmony with public expectations.

description: Awareness of the importance of communication in veterinary medicine has been heightened in the last 2 decades. Formal communication instruction is now a core requirement for all AVMA-accredited Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. The profession as a whole is realizing the importance of communication as it relates to business success, professional satisfaction, and patient outcomes. Clinicians, clients, and patients benefit from the use of evidence-based clinical communication skills; assuring accurate, efficient, and effective transfer of information. While the initial efforts for communication in veterinary medicine seemed to focus on companion animal practice, few would dispute that communication is critical for production animal veterinarians. The complexity of the contexts in which production animal veterinarians work to effect change requires even greater understanding of how people make decisions and how to influence those decisions effectively. Veterinarians are encouraged to be curious: Take the time to understand your clients and stakeholders; what extrinsic and intrinsic motivators are present? How does their organization run and why is it run that way? To ensure accurate understanding, consider demonstrating an understanding of the client through summarizing and empathy. Once there is clear understanding that has been communicated, only then can the veterinarian begin to make recommendations.

description: We present the properties of intracluster medium (ICM) in the cool core of the massive cluster of galaxies Abell 1835 obtained with the data by $ Chandra$ $X$-$ray$ $Observatory$. We find distinctive spiral patterns with the radius of 70 kpc (or 18 arcsec) as a whole in the residual image of X-ray surface brightness after the 2-dimensional ellipse model of surface brightness is subtracted. The size is smaller by a factor of 2 -- 4 than that of other clusters known to have a similar pattern. The spiral patterns consist of two arms. One of them appears as positive, and the other does as negative excesses in the residual image. Their X-ray spectra show that the ICM temperatures in the positive- and negative-excess regions are $5.09^{+0.12}_{-0.13}$ keV and $6.52^{+0.18}_{-0.15}$ keV, respectively. In contrast, no significant difference is found in the abundance or pressure, the latter of which suggests that the ICM in the two regions of the spiral patterns is in pressure equilibrium or close. The spatially-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of the central region ($r<40$ arcsec) divided into 92 sub-regions indicates that Abell 1835 is a typical cool core cluster. We also find that the spiral patterns extend from the cool core out to the hotter surrounding ICM. The residual image reveals some lumpy sub-structure in the cool core. The line-of-sight component of the disturbance velocity responsible for the sub-structures is estimated to be lower than 600 km/s. Abell 1835 may be now experiencing an off-axis minor merger.

description: There continues to be considerable confusion and debate regarding the utility of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) to aid in the antimicrobial selection process. With the renewed emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship in both human and veterinary medicine, it is important to consider all disease preventive and diagnostic tools available. The scientific literature is equivocal regarding the correlation between the in vitro susceptibility test result and clinical outcome. These studies also highlight key points that practitioners should consider when using both individual animal AST results and cumulative diagnostic summaries to select antimicrobial therapeutics.

description: Veterinary practices and all organizations are experiencing challenges in attracting and retaining employees. At the same time research increasingly reveals that most employee management practices are wrong. Most simply stated, we have tried to manage employees when, in fact, people - employees - are fully capable of managing themselves. A revised definition of business success is required to truly recognize the role of people in organizations. The fundamentals of business remain crucial; however, to optimize success, all businesses must also be healthy. A healthy organization has high productivity, low turnover, high morale and job satisfaction, minimal confusion, and minimal politics (often referred to as "drama"). Research on human behavior and brain function sheds great light on employee motivation and a healthy business. Employees are productive, engaged, and passionate when their psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence are fulfilled. Autonomy is our human need to have choices. Relatedness is our need to care about and be cared about. Competence is our need to feel effective at meeting everyday challenges and opportunities. Five skills to increase autonomy, relatedness and competence are active listening, vision, clarity, quality feedback, and continuing growth. Providing these increases the motivation, productivity, and retention of staff.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Reproductive success of cod in the Central Baltic depends on a suite of processes ultimately driven by climatic forcing. Egg survival which is dependent on oxygen and salinity concentration in dwelling depths of the permanent halocline, is thought to be the primary determinant of cod recruitment. Hydrographic conditions are affected by inflows of water from the Skagerrak/Kattegat and the western Baltic into the Central Baltic driven by special atmospheric forcing conditions. In this respect the horizontal distribution of cod spawning activity impacts on egg survival, as a considerable part of the egg production is spawned at certain years in areas of unfavourable environments not sustaining egg development. However, limited recruitment despite of favourable hydrographic conditions and sufficient egg production indicates that other processes are important, specifically egg predation by clupeids depending on the spatial overlap between predator and prey, as well as the availability of suitable food for early larvae hatching in deep Baltic basins, driven both by salinity and oxygen conditions in the halocline. In the present study we perform a retrospective analysis of the relative importance of these processes on recruitment success. The analysis is based on spatially dis-aggregated time-series of egg production and survival, standing stocks of larvae and juveniles, copepod prey availability and hydroclimatic variables. Finally, we discuss how identified primary processes affecting cod recruitment can be integrated into simple environmentally sensitive stock recruitment models.

description: We derive a simple analytical model for the propagation of HSSs from the Sun to Earth and thereby show how the area of coronal holes and the size of their boundary regions affect the HSS velocity, temperature, and density near Earth. We presume that velocity, temperature, and density profiles form across the HSS cross section close to the Sun and that these spatial profiles translate into corresponding temporal profiles in a given radial direction due to the solar rotation. These temporal distributions drive the stream interface to the preceding slow solar wind plasma and disperse with distance from the Sun. The HSS properties at 1 AU are then given by all HSS plasma parcels launched from the Sun that did not run into the stream interface at Earth distance. We show that the velocity plateau region of HSSs as seen at 1 AU, if apparent, originates from the center region of the HSS close to the Sun, whereas the velocity tail at 1 AU originates from the trailing boundary region. The peak velocity of HSSs at Earth further depends on the longitudinal width of the HSS close to the Sun. The temperature and density of HSS plasma parcels at Earth depend on their radial expansion from the Sun to Earth. The radial expansion is determined by the velocity gradient across the HSS boundary region close to the Sun and gives the velocity-temperature and density-temperature relationships at Earth their specific shape. When considering a large number of HSSs, the presumed correlation between the HSS velocities and temperatures close to the Sun degrades only slightly up to 1 AU, but the correlation between the velocities and densities is strongly disrupted up to 1 AU due to the radial expansion. Finally, we show how the number of particles of the piled-up slow solar wind in the stream interaction region depends on the velocities and densities of the HSS and preceding slow solar wind plasma.

description: We investigate the feasibility of robust abundances for selected neutron-capture elements (Ge, Bi, Hf, U) from near-UV spectroscopy with the CUBES instrument now in development for the Very Large Telescope. We use the CUBES end-to-end simulator to synthesise observations of the Ge I 3039 Å and Hf II 3400 and 3719 Å lines in a very metal-poor star, using the well-studied star CS 31082-001 as a template. From simulated 4 hr exposures, we recover estimated abundances to $\pm$0.1 dex for Ge for U $\sim$ 14.25 mag., and for Hf for U = 18 mag. These performances neatly highlight the powerful gain of CUBES for near-UV observations of targets that are two-to-three magnitudes fainter than the existing observations of CS 31082-001 (U = 12.5 mag.). We also investigate the weak Bi I 3025 Å and U II 3860 Å lines (for U $\sim$ 14.25 and 16mag., respectively), finding that simulated 4hr exposures should provide upper limits to these observationally challenging lines.

description: We demonstrate the application of the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) for the diagnostic analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of a magnetized plasma in resistive magnetohydrodynamics. The DMD method is an ideal spatio-temporal matrix decomposition that correlates spatial features of computational or experimental data while simultaneously associating the spatial activity with periodic temporal behavior. DMD can produce low-rank, reduced order surrogate models that can be used to reconstruct the state of the system and produce high-fidelity future state predictions. This allows for a reduction in the computational cost, and, at the same time, accurate approximations of the problem, even if the data are sparsely sampled. We demonstrate the use of the method on both numerical and experimental data, showing that it is a successful mathematical architecture for characterizing the HIT-IS magnetohydrodynamics. Importantly, the DMD decomposition produces interpretable, dominant mode structures, including the spheromak mode and a pair of injector-driven modes. In combination, the 3-mode DMD model produces excellent dynamic reconstructions that can be used for future state prediction and/or control strategies.

description: With developments in computer graphics, hardware technology, perception engineering, and human-computer interaction, virtual reality and virtual environments are becoming more integrated into our daily lives. Head-mounted displays, however, are still not used as frequently as other mobile devices such as smart phones and watches. With increased usage of this technology and the acclimation of humans to virtual application scenarios, it is possible that in the near future an everyday virtual reality paradigm will be realized. When considering the marriage of everyday virtual reality and head-mounted displays, eye tracking is an emerging technology that helps to assess human behaviors in a real time and non-intrusive way. Still, multiple aspects need to be researched before these technologies become widely available in daily life. Firstly, attention and cognition models in everyday scenarios should be thoroughly understood. Secondly, as eyes are related to visual biometrics, privacy preserving methodologies are necessary. Lastly, instead of studies or applications utilizing limited human participants with relatively homogeneous characteristics, protocols and use-cases for making such technology more accessible should be essential. In this work, taking the aforementioned points into account, a significant scientific push towards everyday virtual reality has been completed with three main research contributions.

description: A variety of indices have been proposed in order to represent the many different observables modulated by the solar cycle. Most of these indices are highly correlated with each other owing to their intrinsic link with the solar magnetism and the dominant eleven year cycle, but their variations may differ in fine details, as well as on short- and long-term trends. In this paper we present an overview of the indices that are often employed to describe the many features of the solar cycle, moving from the ones referring to direct observations of the inner solar atmosphere, the photosphere and chromosphere, to those deriving from measurements of the transition region and solar corona. For each index, we summarize existing measurements {\bf and typical use}, and for those that quantify physical observables, we describe the underlying physics.

description: In the Internet of Things, millions of electronic items, including automobiles, smoke alarms, watches, eyeglasses, webcams, and other devices, are now connected to the Internet (IoT). Aside from the luxury and comfort that the individual obtains in the field of IoT, as well as its ability to communicate and obtain information easily and quickly, the other concerning aspect is the achievement of privacy and security in this connection, especially given the rapid increase in the number of existing and new IoT devices. Concerns, threats, and assaults related to IoT security have been regarded as a potential and problematic area of research. This necessitates the quick development or creation of suitable technologies with the nature of crimes in the IoT environment. On the other hand, criminal investigation specialists encounter difficulties and hurdles due to various locations, data types, instruments used, and device recognition. This paper provides an in-depth explanation of the criminal content of the Internet of Things. It compares its stages to the detailed stages of traditional digital forensics in terms of similarities and differences, the frameworks used in dealing with electronic crimes, and the techniques used in both types. This paper presents previous discussions of researchers in the field of digital forensics. For the IoT, which brings us to the most important parts of this paper, which is a comprehensive study of the IoT criminal frameworks that are used to protect communication in the field of IoT, such as Digital Forensic Investigation Framework (DFIF), Digital Forensic Framework for Smart Environments (IoTDOTS), Forensic State Acquisition from the Internet of Things (FSAIoT), and discusses the challenges in their general frameworks and provides solutions and strategies.

description: The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL.EU) will provide unprecedented peak brilliance and ultra-short and spatially coherent X-ray pulses in an energy range of 0.25 to 25 keV . The pulse timing structure is unique with a burst of 2700 pulses of 100 fs length at a temporal distance of 220 ns followed by a 99.4 ms gap. To make optimal use of this timing structure and energy range a great variety of detectors are being developed for use at XFEL.EU, including 2D X-ray imaging cameras that are able to detect images at a rate of 4.5 MHz, provide dynamic ranges up to 10$^5$ photons per pulse per pixel under different operating conditions and covering a large range of angular resolution. In order to characterize, commission and calibrate this variety of detectors and for testing of detector prototypes the XFEL.EU detector group is building up an X-ray test laboratory that allows testing of detectors with X-ray photons under conditions that are as similar to the future beam line conditions at the XFEL.EU as is possible with laboratory sources. A total of four test environments provide the infrastructure for detector tests and calibration: two portable setups that utilize low power X-ray sources and radioactive isotopes, a test environment where a commercial high power X-ray generator is in use, and a pulsed X-ray/electron source which will provide pulses as short as 25 ns in XFEL.EU burst mode combined with target anodes of different materials. The status of the test environments, three of which are already in use while one is in commissioning phase, will be presented as well as first results from performance tests and characterization of the sources.

description: Hypothesis: The analysis of veterinary opinions from cattle practitioners and a comparison of these findings with the existing literature can be used to establish a valuable 'best clinical practice guideline' for bovine practitioners on how to manage a bovine uterine prolapse. Evidence based medicine is used to base clinical practice on scientific evidence. This evidence can be provided in many forms, for example text books, journals, letters, websites, and personal communications. The collected information on a particular topic is then assessed to find the most valid techniques that can be used in practice. Often there is a lack of evidence based medicine for common cases. By studying existing literature and investigating opinions of veterinary practitioners, knowledge can be shared among individuals within the veterinary field. Given the paucity of clinical research studies in bovine medicine, using veterinary opinions may be a useful tool for producing clinical guidelines. There is a wealth of experience present in the field, and with the current technology we can easily tap into that. Within cattle practice, management of a bovine uterine prolapse can vary considerably. Each veterinarian can justify their own reasons for this, but why are there so many options, and how do veterinarians chose what they believe to be the best? Is it possible to develop clinical guidelines based on veterinary opinion, to help clinicians choose the appropriate management for each case? This study provides information for cattle veterinarians to base or improve their current practice upon. Veterinarians can hear what others in their profession do, compare it, and possibly alter their own technique.

description: We extend one component Gross-Pitaevskii equation to two component coupled case with the damping term, linear and parabolic density profiles, then give the Lax pair and infinitely-many conservations laws of this coupled system. The system is nonautonomous, that is, it admits a nonisospectral linear eigenvalue problem. In fact, the Darboux transformation for this kind of inhomogeneous system which is essentially different from the isospectral case, we reconstruct the Darboux transformation for this coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Multi nonautonomous solitons, one breather and the first-order rogue wave are also obtained by the Darboux transformation. When $β>0$, the amplitudes and velocities of solitons decay exponentially as $t$ increases, otherwise, they increase exponentially as $t$ increases. Meanwhile, the real part $Re(ξ_j)$'s~$(j=1,2,3,\dots)$ of new spectral parameters determine the direction of solitions' propagation and $α$ affects the localization of solitons. Choosing $Re(ξ_1)=Re(ξ_2)$, the two-soliton bound state is obtained. From nonzero background seed solutions, we construct one nonautonomous breather on curved background and find that this breather has some deformations along the direction of $t$ due to the exponential decaying term. Besides, $β$ determines the degree of this curved background, if we set $β>0$, the amplitude of the breather becomes small till being zero as $t$ increases. Through taking appropriate limit about the breather, the first-order rogue wave can be acquired. Finally, we give multi-component generalization of Gross-Pitaevskii equation and its Lax pair with nonisospectral parameter, meanwhile, Darboux transformation about this multi-component generalization is also constructed.

description: Over the past decade, the issue of food animal welfare has come to the forefront of veterinary medicine. Much of this interest has centered on pain management both in relation to routine production practices and pain involving diseases encountered in production environments. Lameness is one of the most common reasons for premature culling in dairy cows and is also an important cause of loss in beef cattle. Cook (2003) found the prevalence of lameness in dairy cows to be as high as 33.7%. The 1999 National Market Cow and Bull Beef Quality Audit was conducted to examine the quality of market cows and bulls and to compare to the data collected from the 1994 National Non-Fed Beef Quality Audit. Roeber et al (2001) found that 31.4% of all cattle audited were lame and that losses due to lameness were significantly greater than reported in the 1994 audit. In order to evaluate pain and then evaluate interventions, an objective method of measurement is required. Induction of lameness allows for controlled evaluation of pain in animals because pre- and post-lameness measurements can be taken from the same animal, thereby reducing the confounding effects of individual differences. This study examined the efficacy of sodium salicylate for providing analgesia in an amphotericin B-induced bovine synovitis/arthritis model.

description: A basic question about the existence and stability of the Boltzmann equation in general non-convex domain with the specular reflection boundary condition has been widely open. In this paper, we consider cylindrical domains whose cross sections are general non-convex analytic planar domain. We establish the global-wellposedness and asymptotic stability of the Boltzmann equation with the specular reflection boundary condition in such domains. Our method consists of sharp classification of billiard trajectories which bounce infinitely many times or hit the boundary tangentially at some moment, and a delicate construction of an $\e$-tubular neighborhood of such trajectories. Analyticity of the boundary is crucially used. Away from such $\e$-tubular neighborhood, we control the number of bounces of trajectories and its' distance from singular sets in a uniform fashion. The worst case, sticky grazing set, can be excluded by cutting off small portion of the temporal integration. Finally we apply a method of \cite{KimLee} by the authors and achieve a pointwise estimate of the Boltzmann solutions.
