EVALUATION OF THE RECREATIONAL CATCH-AND-RELEASE FISHERY FOR GOLDEN DORADO SALMINUS BRASILIENSIS IN SALTA, ARGENTINA:  IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT
Creators: name: Gagne, Tyler
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: Golden dorado (Salminus brasiliensis, Cuvier, 1816) is increasing in popularity as a target for recreational anglers practicing catch-and-release (C&R) in northern Argentina and bordering countries. However, to date no research has looked at the potential social and ecological implications of growth in this recreational fishery. The first manuscript of this thesis assessed the consequences of C&R on golden dorado captured by anglers on the Juramento River in Salta, Argentina. This evaluation examined physical injury, physiological stress, reflex impairment, and short term post-release behavior to develop a clear set of evidence-based best practices for C&R. In addition, the Juramento River has limited resources for formal enforcement of angling practices. Consequently, the second manuscript of this thesis surveyed the social-ecological factors that predict anglers’ willingness to play important sanctioning roles (i.e. self-policing) to improve best practices adoption. We obtained results that showed a combination of intrinsic values, demographics, and fishing practices predicted anglers’ willingness to to sanction others. Taken together, the two body chapters of this thesis highlight the important role of addressing both ecological and social barriers to conservation in C&R fisheries.

description: The taxonomy of the genus Sticta in Hawaii is reassessed, based on a separately published molecular phylogeny using the fungal barcoding marker ITS. Based on Magnusson and Zahlbruckner's treatment from 1943 and Magnusson's catalogue from 1955, seven species of Sticta and three infraspecific taxa had been reported from the archipelago, all widespread except the putative endemic S. plumbicolor. Here we provide a taxonomic treatment of 13 taxa, 12 species and one subspecies, distinguished in a previous phylogenetic analysis: S. acyphellata, S. andina, S. antoniana, S. emmanueliana, S. flynnii, S. fuliginosa, S. hawaiiensis, S. limbata, S. plumbicolor, S. scabrosa subsp. hawaiiensis, S. smithii, S. tomentosa and S. waikamoi. All taxa are described, discussed and illustrated and a dichotomous key is presented. The implications of revised species taxonomies for studies in other fields such as ecology, ecophysiology, biogeography, biochemistry, and applications such as environmental monitoring are discussed. We also propose a protocol to use Sticta lichens to monitor the environmental health of Hawaiian ecosystems.

description: A high level of market-power within the rubber processing industry limits the spread of the wealth generated with exports in Indonesia’s Jambi province. The market-power of the crumb rubber factories is based on a high level of concentration. With an Auto-Regressive Asymmetric Threshold Error Correction Model, we study the price transmission at these factories. The extent of the threshold effect is studied, as well as the rents that are redistributed from the farmers to the factories. This is the first paper to quantify the additional distributional consequences of intertemporal marketing margin manipulation based on cartelistic or oligopsonistic market power.

description: The European Commission started to reflect on a new policy framework on climate and energy for 2030. Identifying the best options for agriculture to contribute to future GHG emission reductions in the EU requires a comprehensive analysis of a wide range of possible policies, technological and management measures. In this context the CAPRI model has been further improved with respect to GHG emission accounting and especially regarding the endogenous implementation of technological mitigation options. In this paper we present the methodology of the new model features and highlight the importance of including endogenous technological GHG emission mitigation options in the model analysis. Results of illustrative emission mitigation scenarios show that different assumptions on the availability and uptake of technologies alter the scenario outcome significantly. The analysis indicates that possible negative impacts of mitigation policies on agricultural production and trade can drastically be reduced when technological mitigation options are available to farmers. This is a strong signal for enhanced research and development in the area of technological mitigation options, as well as policies that promote their diffusion.
A Novel Periplasmic Protein involved in the Mannan Chain Elongation Step of Lipomannan and Lipoarabinomannan Biosynthesis in Mycobacterium smegmatis
Creators: name: Ha, Stephanie A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: Mycobacteria are atypical bacteria possessing unusual cell envelopes comprised of an outer membrane, covalently linked to an arabinogalacatan-peptidoglycan structure via waxy mycolic acids, in addition to the conventional inner membrane. This thick and highly impermeable cell envelope is a major deterrent to antibiotic treatment of clinically relevant mycobacterial pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which infects a third of the world’s population and kills millions each year. Thus, the regulation of mycobacterial cell envelope biosynthesis is of great interest for the development of more effective therapeutics for treating Mtb infections. Using the model organism Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis), we identified a novel protein, Spe2, with an unknown role in the biosynthesis of the cell envelope glycolipids lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM). Based on the observation that Δspe2 mutants produce truncated LM/LAM, I speculated Spe2 might enhance the elongation of these products. Here, I use biochemical assays to show Spe2 is localized to the periplasm where it can directly interact with the LM/LAM biosynthetic pathway. I further utilize a genetic approach to demonstrate that Spe2 acts at the stage in which the mannosyltransferase MptA mediates periplasmic LM elongation. Moreover, native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and co-immunoprecipitation techniques failed to reveal Spe2 protein binding partners. Together, these data suggest Spe2 is a periplasmic protein involved in regulating LM/LAM biosynthesis, perhaps through direct interactions with LM intermediates.

description: Hegel's integration of the concept of Life in the Logic has long been disputed and rejected by many scholars. The most common objection was that it seemed counterintuitive to integrate an empirical phenomenon such as Life into a Logic that, in fact, ought to present an immanent development of pure concepts. Hegel was often accused of bringing empirical considerations into his Logic in order to develop his logical account of Life. Consequently, there has been a great discussion about the question as to whether a Logic is an appropriate place for this concept—a discussion that did not occur with respect to other categories in Hegel's Logic. Now, in contemporary literature on Hegel, there is a surge of genuine interest in Hegel's logical account of Life, accompanied by the insight that the concept of Life plays an important and indispensable role in Hegel's philosophy. However, what this role is precisely is a controversial issue.

description: Genus Megalanceoloides gen. nov.
 Type species. Lanceola remipes Barnard, 1932, designated here. The unique type, a female measuring about 40 mm, is in the BMNH (1936.11.2.2510), in spirit. The type locality is the south-west Atlantic [41°43’S 42°20’W]; Discovery Stn. 72, 2000 (-0) m, 1 Jun. 1926.
 Diagnosis. Body length about 40 mm or more. Pereon relatively slender, not broadened or curled. Eyes relatively large, kidney shaped. Antennae 1 with large callynophore; terminal three articles subequal in length. Antennae 2 relatively strong; much longer than A1. Mandibles with massive palp; length about 1.5x mandibular body; third article of palp as long, or slightly longer than, first two articles combined; mandibular body relatively narrow above insertion of palp. Maxillae 1; palp with feathered setae on outer distal corner; inner lobes narrow. Maxillae 2; outer lobe armed with four (?) long setae terminally; inner lobe with three (?) long setae. Maxilliped with relatively elongate inner lobes, almost as long as outer lobes. Pereopods 3–7 with very small, retractile dactylus. Pereopods 3–5 with very broad merus, carpus and propodus. Pereopods 5–7 without spoon-shaped process typical of lanceolids.
Monospecific
 Sexual dimorphism. Not known due to lack of material but is likely to be similar to that found in Megalanceola except that the pereon is not particularly inflated in females (note type).
 Remarks. This is a very distinctive genus, readily distinguished by the broad articles of pereopods 3–5, the small retractile dactyls of pereopods 3–7 and the highly sculptured cuticle. It is most like Megalanceola in the structure of the mouthparts and antennae. Also, the basis of pereopods 6 & 7 are abruptly narrowed proximally with a small anterior hump, similar to that found on all the pereopods in Megalanceola.
 The dactyls of pereopods 3–5 do not seem to be retracted in a spoon-shaped formation, so characteristic of other lanceolids, but rather there is a hollow, fringed with setae, distally on the propodus, into which the dactylus is retracted. In this respect it is similar to Prolanceola but only for pereopods 6 & 7. It is also similar to Prolanceola and Archaeoscinidae in that the third article of the mandibular palp is as long or longer than the first two combined, but differs in most other respects.

Unconventional topological Hall effect in high-topological-number skyrmion crystals

description: Skyrmions with the topological number $Q$ equal an integer larger than 1 are called high-topological-number skyrmions or high-$Q$ skyrmions. In this work, we theoretically study the topological Hall effect in square-lattice high-$Q$ skyrmion crystals (SkX) with $Q=2$ and $Q=3$. As a result of the emergent magnetic field, Landau-level-like electronic band structure gives rise to quantized Hall conductivity when the Fermi energy is within the gaps between adjacent single band or multiple bands intertwined. We found that different from conventional ($Q=1$) SkX the Hall quantization number increases by $1/Q$ in average when the elevating Fermi energy crosses each band. We attribute the result to the fact that the Berry phase ${\cal{C}}$ is measured in the momentum space and the topological number of a single skyrmion $Q$ is measured in the real space. The reciprocality does not affect the conventional SkX because $Q=1=1/Q$.
The Process to Political Mobilization in Five College Capitalism: Forms of Antiracism, Personal Reflection and Community-Building
Creators: name: Homrich, Caitlin B.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: The town of Amherst, Massachusetts is home to the flagship campus of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst College, and Hampshire College, institutions that have greatly influenced the town’s prolific history of political activism as well as the high educational attainment and economic status of the majority of its residents. Often hailed as a liberal utopia, research on the political mobilization occurring in this town provides insight into the process and limitations of ally politics: when most of the residents of Amherst are White, how do they engage in racial justice activism? When most of the residents are wealthy and/or highly educated, how do they engage in challenges to capitalism’s structural inequalities?
In this thesis, I approach these questions by examining the political mobilization process of myself and others in three organizations: Coming Together, Re-Evaluation Counseling (RC), and the student organization, UMass Alliance for Community Transformation (UACT). I explore how Coming Together focused on antiracism in a process of focused personal reflection about racial identity and personal antiracism practices, and how that process silenced the people of color in the organization, was vii detrimental to my own mental health, and demobilized many potential-activists. In an effort to understand this organization better, I explore the practices of personal reflection and the vision of social change in RC, an organization which greatly influenced Coming Together. I argue that the more holistic and rigorous personal reflection in RC was more empowering, although taxing of energy. Finally, I contrast these experiences with the political mobilization I experienced in the UACT introductory course, Grassroots Community Organizing (GCO). I argue that the ongoing facilitation in critical personal reflection, relationship- and community-building, and practice in activism work in GCO was politically mobilizing and simultaneously produced a community culture of anti oppression. Ultimately, this thesis argues that effective activism against racism requires activism against capitalism, and vice-versa, and that highly intentional anti-oppression community-building can denaturalize, and mobilize participants against, the capitalist ideologies of alienation and competition. In order to do this comparative work, I rely heavily on the methods of participation observation and, rooted in Black feminist anthropology, autoethnography.
Effective Denial of Service Attack on Congestion Aware Adaptive Network on Chip
Creators: name: Kadirvel, Vijaya Deepak
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: Network-On-Chip (NoC) architecture forms the new design framework in extending single processor to multiprocessor SoC. Similar to other SoCs and systems, NoCs are also susceptible to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks which degrade the performance by limiting the availability of resources to the processing cores. The stability of NoC is maintained by employing hardware monitors to detect illegal/abnormal activity or by congestion aware arbitration to obfuscate and balance the network load. Typical DoS attack model selects a random target resource and injects multiple flooding flits to reduce its functionality. The random DoS attack will not be practically effective on congestion aware NoC as the flooding path flow changes dynamically based on the congestion in network and the same victim node selection will not be effectual on different traffic profiles. Thus this paper proposes an effective DoS attack model to dynamically synthesize the selection of target node in NoC, arbitrating on congestion information. We describe the design and implementation of the proposed attack model and compare the performance degradation for different synthetic traffic profiles against random target selection. We also put forth a novel design of an effective offline congestion aware routing algorithm by exploiting the advantages of deterministic and adaptive routing. The proposed routing technique showed better latency saturation compared to adaptive (DyAD) and deterministic (OE) protocol.

Lepton-flavor violating low energy processes are analyzed in recently proposed post-LEP benchmark scenarios, taking into account present uncertainties and future developments in the neutrino sector. Nonobservation of mu -> e gamma in the next-generation PSI experiment will provide upper bounds on M_R of the order of 10^(12-14) GeV, while on the other hand, a positive signal for tau -> mu gamma at SUPERKEKB or the LHC may determine M_R for a given mSUGRA scenario with an accuracy of a factor of 2.

Rewriting the Twentieth-century French Literary Right: Translation, Ideology, and Literary History
Creators: name: Khoury, Marcus
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: For English-language audiences, twentieth-century French literature is often identified with a variety of literary movements tied to the political left. In spite of its lesser visibility, the French literary right enjoyed considerable prestige during the first half of the twentieth century. This thesis employs methodologies from translation studies in order to study how the French literary right has been translated, or not translated, into English. Case studies devoted to three seminal writers of the right, including Charles Maurras (1868-1952), Pierre Drieu la Rochelle (1893-1945), and Roger Nimier (1925-62), demonstrate that right-wing committed literature was a central mode of literary production from the 1910s to the 1950s and that this current of writing is underrepresented in English-language translation and scholarship.
A number of literary and cultural asymmetries separating English-language literature from French literature have contributed to this situation, such as the phenomenon of literary engagement in French literature and France’s strong anti-liberal intellectual tradition. Using systems theory this thesis argues that these differences between the French and Anglophone literary systems have contributed to the lack of representation accorded to the French literary right, which is manifested in the selection, presentation, and translation of texts by right-wing authors such as Maurras, Drieu, and Nimier.
When translations of texts by these authors do exist, a number of translation patterns emerge. These patterns and distortions have ramifications for the construction of literary canon and for our understanding of twentieth-century literary history and the role ideology plays in influencing high- and low-level translation decisions.

The dynamics predicts decoherence in position as well as in momentum. We show how the master equation reproduces the results present in the literature by taking appropriate limits, thus explaining the apparent contradiction in their dynamical description. We apply our model to a matter wave experiment, providing a practical formula for determining of the magnitude of gravitational decoherence. We compare it with the standard experimental sources of decoherence.

description: Using an original dataset from the Vietnamese catfish sector, we study the impact of vertical coordination options on household welfare and the implications of different stages of vertical coordination for the success of the whole sector. The welfare gain from contract farming and employment on processor-owned estate farms is estimated using a maximum simulated likelihood estimator. Our results show positive welfare effects from participating in contract farming, but not from employment on processor-owned estate farms. The results imply that contract farming presents opportunities for economic growth, but additional effort is required to make the contracts more accessible to smallholders.

description: ’Buying local food’ is sometimes advocated as a means of reducing the ’carbon footprint’ of food products. This statement overlooks the trade-off between inter- and intra-regional food transportation. We investigate this issue by using an m-region, new economic geography model. The spatial distribution of food production within and between regions is endogenously determined. We exhibit cases where locating a significant share of the food production in the least-urbanized regions results in lower transport-related emissions than in configurations where all regions are self-sufficient. The welfare-maximizing allocation of food production does not exclude the possibility that some regions should be self-sufficient, provided their urban population sizes are neither too large nor too small.
CFD Simulation of the Flow around NREL Phase VI Wind Turbine
Creators: name: Song, Yang
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

description: The simulation of the turbulent and potentially separating flow around a rotating, twisted, and tapered airfoil is a challenging task for CFD simulations. This thesis describes CFD simulations of the NREL Phase VI turbine that was experimentally characterized in the 24.4m X 36.6m NREL/NASA Ames wind tunnel. All computations in this research are performed on the experimental base configuration of 0o yaw angle, 3o tip pitch angle, and a rotation rate of 72 rpm. The significance of specific mesh resolution regions to the accuracy of the CFD prediction is discussed. The ability of CFD to capture bulk quantities, such as the low speed shaft torque, and the detailed flow characteristics, such as the surface pressure distributions, are explored for different inlet wind speeds. Finally, the significant three-dimensionality of the boundary layer flow is demonstrated.

Here we present the results of a choice experiment of AgGR conservation programs in Finland. The findings indicate that citizens’ have high interest in the conservation of native breeds and varieties, but also that there is heterogeneity in preferences between citizens. Five groups can be identified: one implying lexicographic preferences, two with reasoned choices, one indicating ambivalence and one with status quo preferences.

However, there are no observational or theoretical evidences in favor of such a recent start of the cosmic acceleration. In fact, a model of dark energy coupled to dark matter is explicitely constructed that a) is accelerated even at high z; b) allows structure formation during acceleration; and c) is consistent with the type Ia supernovae Hubble diagram, including the farthest known supernova SN1997ff at z~1.7 . It is shown that the accelerated epoch in this model could have started as early as z~5.

description: This article presents an integrated modelling framework (IMF) at field scales including a bio-economic farm optimization model. It is applied on two contrasting Austrian landscapes to analyze climate change and CAP policy reform impacts in 2040. Changing policies reduce farm gross margins by -36% and -5% in the two landscapes respectively. Climate change increases gross margins and farms can reach pre-reform levels on average. Climate induced intensification such as removing of landscape elements and increasing fertilization can be moderated by an agri-environmental program (AEP). However, productivity gains from climate change increase the opportunity costs of AEP participation.

Our predictions for the ($π$-dependent terms) of the 7-loop RG functions for the case of the $O(n)$ $ϕ^4$ theory are in full agreement with the recent results from \cite{Schnetz:2016fhy}. All available 7- and 8-loop results for QCD and the scalar $O(n)$ $φ^4$ theory obtained within the large $N_f$ approach to the quantum field theory (see, e.g. \cite{Gracey:2018ame}) are also in full agreement with our results.

Measurement of the hadronic cross section at KLOE using the radiative return
Creators: name: The KLOE Collaboration
name: Denig, presented by Achim
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We report on the measurement of the hadronic cross section below 1GeV at the electron-positron-collider DAPHNE, using the multiple purpose detector KLOE. The radiative return, which is due to initial state radiation (e+ e- \to gamma + hadrons), allows us to obtain the cross section for variable center-of-mass-energies of the hadronic system from the 2m_pi threshold up to 1.02GeV. This measurement can be performed while DAPHNE is running with a fixed accelerator energy on the phi mass (1.02 GeV). For the exclusive process e+ e- \to pi+ pi- gamma, the status of the analysis and first preliminary results of the invariant mass spectrum of the two-pion-state are presented.

description: Recent research has shown that book collecting by private individuals and institutions was a widespread phenomenon in Bilād al-Shām. At least from the Ayyubid period onwards, countless volumes were produced, changed hands in the book market, and lay around in libraries. To this day, Damascus occupies a central position in our knowledge about libraries and book culture in general, while other cities and regions lag behind. In this article, the inventory of an Aleppine book collector is used to take a glimpse at the book culture of Aleppo in the first decades of the seventeenth century. Although most probably not reflecting the sum total of his library, the inventory still allows to ascertain the specific taste of its compiler, an otherwise unknown Aleppine bibliophile. The inventory also provides evidence for the early distribution of Arabic print and pushes the door open for investigating the role of local agents in the early days of attempts by Orientalists to acquire Arabic manuscripts for European libraries.
QCD Vacuum and Axions: What's Happening?

description: A deeper understanding of the vacuum structure in QCD invites one to rethink certain aspects of the axion physics. The recent advances are mostly due to developments in supersymmetric gauge theories and the brane theory, in which QCD can be embedded. They include, but are not limited to, the studies of metastable vacua in multicolor gluodynamics, and the domain walls. We briefly review basics of the axion physics and then present a modern perspective on a rich interplay between the QCD vacuum structure and axion physics.

description: Given the significant amount of time that refugee and asylum-seeking children (RASC) spend in schools, these institutions play an important role in their lives and represent an ideal environment in which to help them to adapt to their host society. The present study aimed to draw attention to the possibility of transferring intervention methods designed for children with ASD to formal education settings welcoming newly arrived RASC to support their adaptation to their new school environment. For this purpose, a systematic review was undertaken to assess the feasibility of implementing three specific ASD intervention methods (i.e., TEACCH, PECS, and PMI) in schools welcoming RASC. While the review did not reveal previous attempts to implement and evaluate ASD intervention methods with newcomer RASC, 21 records were uncovered providing preliminary evidence in support of this idea. Hypothesized strengths and limitations, as well as considerations about implementation, are discussed.

description: We estimated the spread of the magnetically enhanced regions (wipeout regions) around Zn ions in high-Tc superconductors YBa2(Cu1-xZnx)4O8 (x=0, 0.005, 0.01, and 0.022) at T=4.2 K, via the planar 63Cu nuclear spin-lattice relaxation study with Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spin-echo technique. From the analysis of nonexponential planar Cu nuclear spin-lattice relaxation curves, we found that the wipeout region per a Zn ion shrinks with Zn doping in the superconducting state. The shrinkage is associated with suppression of the host antiferromagnetic spin correlation, as a result from a dilution effect on the magnetic CuO2 network.

The Impact of Quantum Size Effects on Thermoelectric Performance in Semiconductor Nanostructures
Creators: name: Kommini, Adithya
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

description: An increasing need for effective thermal sensors, together with dwindling energy resources, have created renewed interests in thermoelectric (TE), or solid-state, energy conversion and refrigeration using semiconductor-based nanostructures. Effective control of electron and phonon transport due to confinement, interface, and quantum effects has made nanostructures a good way to achieve more efficient thermoelectric energy conversion. This thesis studies the two well-known approaches: confinement and energy filtering, and implements improvements to achieve higher thermoelectric performance. The effect of confinement is evaluated using a 2D material with a gate and utilizing the features in the density of states. In addition to that, a novel controlled scattering approach is taken to enhance the device thermoelectric properties. The shift in the onset of scattering due to controlled scattering with respect to sharp features in the density of states creates a window shape for transport integral. Along with the controlled scattering, an effective utilization of Fermi window can provide a considerable enhancement in thermoelectric performance. The conclusion from the results helps in selection of materials to achieve such enhanced thermoelectric performance. In addition to that, the electron filtering approach is studied using the Wigner approach for treating the carrier-potential interactions, coupled with Boltzmann transport equation which is solved using Rode's iterative method, especially in periodic potential structures. This study shows the effect of rapid potential variations in materials as seen in superlattices and the parameters that have significant contribution towards the thermoelectric performance. Parameters such as period length, height and smoothness of such periodic potentials are studied and their effect on thermoelectric performance is discussed. A combination of the above two methods can help in understanding the effect of confinement and key requirements in designing a nanostructured thermoelectric device that has a enhanced performance.

description: We investigate the relationship between yield stability and species diversity in managed grasslands. To this end, ecological economic and econometric frameworks are developed and applied to evaluate potential risk-reducing effects of species diversity from a farmer’s perspective. Our empirical analysis is based on a rich panel data set obtained from a diversity experiment covering in total 60 species and a period of 6 years. We find empirical evidence for the risk-reducing effect of species diversity and the economic assessment reveals significant insurance values associated with diversity for a risk averse decision maker. Thus, the economic value of diversity would be underestimated if not accounting for this property and species diversity serves as valuable ex-ante risk management strategy.

description: By rewriting the relation 1+2=3 as √12+√22=√32 , a right triangle is looked at. Some geometrical observations in connection with plane parqueting lead to an inductive sequence of right triangles with √12+√22=√32 as initial one converging to the segment [0,1] of the real line. The sequence of their hypotenuses forms a sequence of real numbers which initiates some beautiful algebraic patterns. They are determined through some recurrence relations which are proper for being evaluated with computer algebra.

description: The Muon (g-2) Experiment (E821) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) has measured the anomalous magnetic moment of the positive muon to an unprecedented precision of 1.3 parts per million. The result, a_{μ^+} = (g-2)/2 = 11 659 202(14)(6) X 10^{-10}, is based on data recorded in 1999 and is in good agreement with previous measurements. Upcoming analysis of data recorded in 2000 and 2001 will substantially reduce the uncertainty on this measurement. Comparison of the new world average experimental value with the most comprehensive Standard Model calculation, a_μ(SM) = 11 659 159.6(6.7) X 10^{-10}, yields a difference of a_μ(exp)-a_μ(SM) = 43(16) X 10^{-10}.
