description: Using intersectionality as a framework, the edited collection, which this introduction prefaces, explores the experiences of women of color in library and information science (LIS). With roots in black feminism and critical race theory, intersectionality studies the ways in which multiple social and cultural identities impact individual experience. Libraries and archives idealistically portray themselves as egalitarian and neutral entities that provide information equally to everyone, yet these institutions often reflect and perpetuate societal racism, sexism, and additional forms of oppression. Women of color who work in LIS are often placed in the position of balancing the ideal of the library and archive providing good customer service and being an unbiased environment with the lived reality of receiving microaggressions and other forms of harassment on a daily basis from both colleagues and patrons. This book examines how lived experiences of social identities affect women of color and their work in LIS.

description: Land is a scarce factor of production. monitoring programs of mechanisms for redistributing property land rights provide strategic information to improve competitiveness and sustainability of territories. They are particularly useful in regions with severe land ownership fragmentation, and institutional fragmentation too, under the multiple land management instruments formulated. This paper seeks to outline a rural land market diagnosis in Galicia as a tool to promote institutional coordination and generate useful territorial information in the processes of land reorganization. The result is a three-component scheme (institutional, technical and technological) that would integrate the databases of different land management institutions, get geostatistical indicators of rural land market operation (such as transfer rate of rustic areas by trade and lease) and integrate them in a GIS web platform for territorial visualization.

description: Many farmers in Trinidad & Tobago rent the land on which they farm, either from the State, State-owned enterprises (in particular Caroni (1975) Ltd.) or from private landlords. Renting of agricultural land is particularly important in the small farm sector. In the past, the State has sought to intervene in the agricultural land rental market through direct intervention (renting out State-owned lands to small producers at subsidized rates and acquisitions of tenanted agricultural estates) and through legislation designed to regulate the relationship between "small holders" and landlords, in particular the Agricultural Smallholdings Tenure Act (ASHTA) of 1961. Over the past decade, as part of a wider agriculture sector reform programme, the Government has attempted to reform the institutions and legislation impacting on the agriculture land rental market. It was hoped that these reforms would create a more vibrant, dynamic and transparent land rental market and that this would, in turn, foster a more vibrant and dynamic agriculture sector. To date these efforts have had little impact. This paper concentrates on land rented from private landlords and reports on the findings of a rapid appraisal conducted in three agricultural areas of Trinidad. The paper finds that there has been very little adherence to the provisions of ASHTA. It concludes that current efforts to reform ASTHA will have a limited impact on the agricultural land rental market. Instead, wider reforms to the entire land administration system are urgently needed to assure the effective functioning of the agricultural land rental market.
Nonlinear absorption of ultrashort laser pulses in thin metal films

description: Self-consistent simulations of the ultrafast electron dynamics in thin metal films are performed. A regime of nonlinear oscillations is observed, which corresponds to ballistic electrons bouncing back and forth against the film surfaces. When an oscillatory laser field is applied to the film, the field energy is partially absorbed by the electron gas. Maximum absorption occurs when the period of the external field matches the period of the nonlinear oscillations, which, for sodium films, lies in the infrared range. Possible experimental implementations are discussed.

description: Session-based recommendation (SR) predicts the next items from a sequence of previous items consumed by an anonymous user. Most existing SR models focus only on modeling intra-session characteristics but pay less attention to inter-session relationships of items, which has the potential to improve accuracy. Another critical aspect of recommender systems is computational efficiency and scalability, considering practical feasibility in commercial applications. To account for both accuracy and scalability, we propose a novel session-based recommendation with a random walk, namely S-Walk. Precisely, S-Walk effectively captures intra- and inter-session correlations by handling high-order relationships among items using random walks with restart (RWR). By adopting linear models with closed-form solutions for transition and teleportation matrices that constitute RWR, S-Walk is highly efficient and scalable. Extensive experiments demonstrate that S-Walk achieves comparable or state-of-the-art performance in various metrics on four benchmark datasets. Moreover, the model learned by S-Walk can be highly compressed without sacrificing accuracy, conducting two or more orders of magnitude faster inference than existing DNN-based models, making it suitable for large-scale commercial systems.

description: This study was undertaken to determine the characteristics of record keepers and non-record keepers among small farmers in Barbados. This analysis is based on a random sample of 160 small farms operating throughout the island. The study compared the characteristics of the two groups — record keepers and nonrecord keepers using chi-square analysis. The survey found that out of the 160 farmers surveyed, 57% did not keep records, while 43% kept records. The majority of those who did not keep records stated that they had no time to do so. With respect to the characteristics, the majority of the farmers surveyed fell within the 36 to 45 age group, followed by the 46 to 60 age group. There was no significant relationship between the age of the farmers and whether they kept records. The majority of farmers were part-time farmers and the results showed that there was a significant relationship between farmer status and record keeping. There was also a significant relationship between record keeping and the receipt of credit. A higher proportion of farmers who kept records had obtained credit. The more frequently used method of recording data (81%) was manual and most of these were kept on a weekly basis. A very high percentage of farmers keeping records (73%) thought that the level of benefit of record keeping was Very good'. No significant relationship was found between gender and record keeping. However, there was a significant relationship between farm size and record keeping. Farmers who owned the larger farms tended to keep records. There was also a significant relationship between farm net income and record keeping.

description: We show that there are effective three- and higher-body interactions generated by the two-body collisions of atoms confined in the lowest vibrational states of a 3D optical lattice. The collapse and revival dynamics of approximate coherent states loaded into a lattice are a particularly sensitive probe of these higher-body interactions; the visibility of interference fringes depend on both two-, three-, and higher-body energy scales, and these produce an initial dephasing that can help explain the surprisingly rapid decay of revivals seen in experiments. If inhomogeneities in the lattice system are sufficiently reduced, longer timescale partial and nearly full revivals will be visible. Using Feshbach resonances or control of the lattice potential it is possible to tune the effective higher-body interactions and simulate effective field theories in optical lattices.

description: The question of development of livestock rearing is currently inseparable from that of regulation in the European Union because of the growing demands of food safety, animal health and the environment. The French overseas departments are governed by French national legislation, necessarily conforming with European Union legislation. The development of livestock rearing therefore has to be subject to at least a minimum respect for regulations resulting from a very different socio-economic system. By taking as an example pig rearing in Guadeloupe (French West Indies) the work is aimed at identifying the real differences between current livestock rearing practices and legal requirements, and at suggesting some ideas for a suitable development policy. The communication begins by describing the diversity of breeding systems, particularly the social and economic importance of herds which do not conform to the dominant model. The discussion goes on to consider the need for development, training and research institutions to keep in mind these breeding systems. The working practices in the various types of livestock farm are then compared with the current regulatory framework by using the double criterion of the Law and the Rule. The departures found, both numerous and sizeable, provide food for a discussion about the opportunity and means of bringing these farms into line with the standards, a process which should be part of the agricultural and rural development policy.

description: We derive the elastic collision rate for a harmonically-trapped Fermi gas in the extreme unitarity limit where the s-wave scattering cross section is $σ(k) =4π/k^2$, with $\hbar k$ the relative momentum. The collision rate is given in the form $Γ=γI(T/T_F)$--the product of a universal collision rate $γ=k_B T_F/(6 π\hbar)$ and a dimensionless function of the ratio of the temperature $T$ to the Fermi temperature $T_F$. We find $I$ has a peak value of $\simeq4.6$ at $T/T_F\simeq0.4$, $I\simeq 82 (T/T_F)^2$ for $T/T_F\leq 0.15$, and $I\simeq 2(T_F/T)^2$ for $T/T_F>1.5$. We estimate the collision rate for recent experiments on a strongly-interacting degenerate Fermi gas of atoms.

description: The bumblebee field coupled with gravity is considered. This gravitational theory exhibits spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry. The Gödel-type universe is introduced and then the causality and its violation are studied. Causal and non-causal Gödel-type solutions are obtained for different content of matter. In addition, when the coupling constant, which controls the interaction between the bumblebee field and the gravitational field, is zero the bumblebee potential may be associated with the value of the cosmological constant of the general relativity. Furthermore, the case with the non-zero coupling constant is also investigated.

description: The utilization of starch as a major food ingredient has considerable significance. Trade and export of food starches has contributed to the economic growth and viability of various developing countries. The global starch market however, is highly competitive, with industry consumers opting for high quality, but affordable and steady supplies. Starch has multiple functions in food applications, most commonly as a bulking agent, binder, carrier, fatreplacer, for texture-improvement and as raw material for other starch-related products. In addition, starches can be modified to further increase their utility. Tropical root crops that are currently used as commercial starch sources include cassava (Manihot esculenta, Manihot utilissima), yam (Dioscorea spp.), cocoyam (Xanthosoma spp.), taro (Colocasia esculenta) and arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea). These crops have varying levels of starch, ranging from 19-40 %, differ in composition and consequently their properties in food products. Predominant areas of production, consumption and export are the Caribbean, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. The demand for food starches continues to be high in industrialized countries, where processed food consumption is high and the food industry continues to be robust and vibrant. Applicability of starch in food products is determined by various factors: its composition, functionality and cost. Root starches, which have high amylopectin levels, are highly desirable as they have great clarity, minimal flavor and suitable water absorption and swelling capacity.

description: We show that some metals and alloys (X = Cu, Ag, FeMn, or Cu and Ag combined with each other), sputtered between ferromagnetic Co and superconducting Nb, produce no change in current-perpendicular-to-plane magnetoresistance (CPP-MR) in a carefully designed CPP-spin-valve. In contrast, other metals (Ru or Au) or combinations (Cu or Ag combined with Au, Ru, or FeMn) change the CPP-MR, in some cases even reversing its sign. We ascribe these changes to activation of magnetic scattering anisotropies at a ferromagnetic/superconducting interface, apparently by strong spin-flipping between the Co and Nb layers.

description: An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be main if the all-ones vector is not orthogonal to its associated eigenspace. A generalized Bethe tree with $k$ levels is a rooted tree in which vertices at the same level have the same degree. Fran\c{c}a and Brondani [On the main spectrum of generalized Bethe trees, Linear Algebra Appl., 628 (2021) 56-71] recently conjectured that any generalized Bethe tree with $k$ levels has exactly $k$ main eigenvalues whenever $k$ is even. We disprove the conjecture by constructing a family of counterexamples for even integers $k\ge 6$.

description: Prototype Josephson-junction based qubit coherence times are too short for quantum computing. Recent experiments probing superconducting phase qubits have revealed previously unseen fine splittings in the transition energy spectra. These splittings have been attributed to new microscopic degrees of freedom (microresonators), a previously unknown source of decoherence. We show that macroscopic resonant tunneling in the extremely asymmetric double well potential of the phase qubit can have observational consequences that are strikingly similar to the observed data.

description: Commercial aquacufture is a viable and growing industry around the world. While there may be continuing decline in fish stocks in the inshore/coastal waters in Trinidad and Tobago, the demand for high quality fish protein continues to grow. Aquacufture has been viewed by many as a means to address the gap between seafood availability and consumer demand. This paper reports on a study, which was conducted to assess the potential of aquacufture in Trinidad and Tobago. Based on interviews with aquacufture operators, policy analysis matrices were developed for aquacufture production. For comparison policy analysis matrices were also developed for sheep and goat production based on a recent survey of the sheep and goat industry of Trinidad and Tobago. The study found that the DRC and EPC values for tilapia production, coupled with the lower cost per unit of protein compared with other sources of animal protein, indicate that tilapia production has a comparative advantage, especially as compared to sheep and goat production. The paper also discusses measures that need to be taken to unlock the potential for commercial aquaculture, mainly in the form of tilapia production in Trinidad and Tobago, to meet this country's demand for fish protein.
title: A Knowledge Integration Framework for 3D Shape Reconstruction
Creators: name: Funk, Eugen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: The modern emergence of automation in many industries has given impetus to extensive research into mobile robotics. Novel perception technologies now enable cars to drive autonomously, tractors to till a field automatically and underwater robots to construct pipelines. An essential requirement to facilitate both perception and autonomous navigation is the analysis of the 3D environment using sensors like laser scanners or stereo cameras. 3D sensors generate a very large number of 3D data points in sampling object shapes within an environment, but crucially do not provide any intrinsic information about the environment in which the robots operate with. This means unstructured 3D samples must be processed by application-specific models to enable a robot, for instance, to detect and identify objects and infer the scene geometry for path-planning more efficiently than by using raw 3D data. This thesis specifically focuses on the fundamental task of 3D shape reconstruction and modelling by presenting a new knowledge integration framework for unstructured 3D samples. The novelty lies in the representation of surfaces by algebraic functions with limited support, which enables the extraction of smooth consistent shapes from noisy samples with a heterogeneous density. Moreover, many surfaces in urban environments can reasonably be assumed to be planar, and the framework exploits this knowledge to enable effective noise suppression without loss of detail. This is achieved by using a convex optimization technique which has linear computational complexity. Thus is much more efficient than existing solutions. The new framework has been validated by critical experimental analysis and evaluation and has been shown to increase the accuracy of the reconstructed shape significantly compared to state-of-the-art methods. Applying this new knowledge integration framework means that less accurate, low-cost 3D sensors can be employed without sacrificing the high demands that 3D perception must achieve. This links well into the area of robotic inspection, as for example regarding small drones that use inaccurate and lightweight image sensors.

description: We observe single vortices as they penetrate the edge of a superconductor using a high-sensitivity magneto-optical microscope. The vortices leap across a gap near the edge, a distance that decreases with increasing applied field and sample thickness. This behaviour can be explained by the combined effect of the geometrical barrier and bulk pinning.

description: The aim of this paper is to study the correlation properties of random sequences with additive linear conditional probability distribution function (CPDF) and elaborate a reliable tool for their generation. It is supposed that the state space of the sequence under examination belongs to a finite set of real numbers. The CPDF is assumed to be additive and linear with respect to the values of the random variable. We derive the equations that relate the correlation functions of the sequence to the memory function coefficients, which determine the CPDF. The obtained analytical solutions for the equations connecting the memory and correlation functions are compared with the results of numerical simulation. Examples of possible correlation scenarios in the high-order additive linear chains are given.

description: Agricultural Extension is the key instrument that supports agricultural development in many Caribbean countries. Through the extension process, the role of change agents is critical in interfacing with farmers in order to create new opportunities for production, a competitive base for local and international trade and a sustainable agriculture. As a result, competent extension agents are needed to make decisions and train farmers. Distance Education training can be a powerful tool to increase the competence of agents. This can be utilised for extension in-service training because it provides the benefits of lower training costs due to lack of travel requirements and the ability of agents and specialists over a large geographic region to exchange information and ideas. Responses to a self-administered questionnaire to extension agents in Trinidad and Tobago revealed that they were strongly receptive to this form of training. The questionnaire showed that there are existing resources which support the use of distance education within the environment of the extension agent. The survey goes on to show some of the perceived limitations to implementation of distance education programs within the extension service, willingness of agents to pay for the service and areas identified for further training. Information was also obtained on the present ways extension agents gather information, satisfaction of current farmer training, and factors limiting current extension efforts. From the survey it can be concluded that there is great potential for the use of distance education training of extension agents in Trinidad and Tobago.

description: Prototype Josephson-junction based qubit coherence times are too short for quantum computing. Recent experiments probing superconducting phase qubits have revealed previously unseen fine splittings in the transition energy spectra. These splittings have been attributed to new microscopic degrees of freedom (microresonators), a previously unknown source of decoherence. We show that macroscopic resonant tunneling in the extremely asymmetric double well potential of the phase qubit can have observational consequences that are strikingly similar to the observed data.

description: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a model organism for vertebrate developmental processes and, through a variety of mutant and transgenic lines, various diseases and their complications. Some of these diseases relate to proper function of the visual system. In the US, the National Eye Institute indicates >140 million people over the age of 40 have some form of visual impairment. The causes of the impairments range from refractive error to cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, plus heritable diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa and color vision deficits. Most impairments directly affect the retina, the nervous tissue at the back of the eye. Zebrafish with long or short-wavelength color blindness, altered retinal anatomy due to hyperglycemia, high intraocular pressure, and reduced pigment epithelium are all used, and directly applicable, to study how these symptoms affect visual function. However, many published reports describe only molecular/anatomical/structural changes or behavioral deficits. Recent work in zebrafish has documented physiological responses of the different cell types to colored (spectral) light stimuli, indicating a complex level of information processing and color vision in this species. The purpose of this review article is to consolidate published morphological and physiological data from different cells to describe how zebrafish retina is capable of complex visual processing. This information is compared to findings in other vertebrates and relevance to disorders affecting color processing is discussed.

Subjects: Education

description: This paper evaluates the findings of a small-scale research project into how trainee teachers can use Kahoot! to help them reflect on the learning process. Kahoot! is an online collaborative learning platform - a game-based student response system (GSRS), which was launched in 2012. It is frequently used as a quiz by experienced and trainee teachers. These quizzes are frequently focused on recall and low order thinking. This paper aims to explore how teachers can design Kahoot! quizzes in a way that enables them to better understand the links between educational technologies and learning. A complementary element to the research assessed the effectiveness of Kahoot! as an example of using edtech to gather formative data and also develop their learners’ own questioning techniques. Through questionnaires, focus groups, individual interviews and Kahoot! surveys, this paper gained an insight into future areas that may be worthy of pursuit
