description: We report the design concept and performance of a compact, light-weight, and economic imaging polarimeter, TRIPOL (the Triple Range Imager and POLarimeter), capable of simultaneous optical imagery and polarimetry. TRIPOL splits the beam from wavelength 400 to 830 nm into g'-, r'-, and i'-bands with two dichroic mirrors, and measures polarization with an achromatic half-waveplate and a wire-grid. The simultaneity makes TRIPOL a useful tool for small telescopes for photometry and polarimetry of time variable and wavelength dependent phenomena. TRIPOL is devised for a Cassegrain telescope of an aperture of ~1 m. This paper presents the engineering considerations of TRIPOL and compares the expected with the observed performance. Using the Lulin 1-m telescope and 100 seconds integration, the limiting magnitudes are g' ~ 19.0 mag, r' ~ 18.5 mag and i' ~ 18.0 mag with a signal-to-noise of 10, in agreement with design expectation. The instrumental polarization is measured to be ~ 0.3% at three bands. Two applications, one to the star-forming cloud IC 5146, and the other to the young variable GM Cep, are presented as demonstration.

COMMENT
Riella battandieri and R. reuteri were considered by Jelenc (1957) synonyms of R. notarisii (Mont.) Mont. That was also the criterion of Schumacker et al. (2005) and followed by Ros et al. (2007a). Although both species were listed by Söderström et al. (2016) and Hodgetts et al. (2020) as accepted species, these works also stated that their taxonomical distinction is questioned and that they belong to Riella notarisii complex with poorly defined taxonomic boundaries, as did Segarra-Maragues et al. (2022). Jelenc (1957) stated that the area where R. notarisii had been found in Algeria (sub R. battandieri) had been cultivated at that time and it should be supposedly taken that the species had disappeared. The only reference to R. reuteri in Algeria was done by Allorge (1932), in a map of his Pflanzenareale series, but no previous report seems to have been published on this name.

description: We study tachyon condensation on noncommutative toric orbifolds with a $Z_2$ discrete group and explore the various kins of brane bound states arising in the case of irrational values of the B-field. We show that $Z_$ symmetry of the orbifolds incorporates naturally anti-branes in the spectrum and leads to equivalent results as those obtained by starting from an original pair of D-barD system on quantum torii. A specific analysis is deserved to the irrational representation of NC orbifolds and to the unstable bound states generated by the condensation.

description: Dependent type theory gives an expressive type system facilitating succinct formalizations of mathematical concepts. In practice, it is mainly used for interactive theorem proving with intensional type theories, with PVS being a notable exception. In this paper, we present native rules for automated reasoning in a dependently-typed version (DHOL) of classical higher-order logic (HOL). DHOL has an extensional type theory with an undecidable type checking problem which contains theorem proving. We implemented the inference rules as well as an automatic type checking mode in Lash, a fork of Satallax, the leading tableaux-based prover for HOL. Our method is sound and complete with respect to provability in DHOL. Completeness is guaranteed by the incorporation of a sound and complete translation from DHOL to HOL recently proposed by Rothgang et al. While this translation can already be used as a preprocessing step to any HOL prover, to achieve better performance, our system directly works in DHOL. Moreover, experimental results show that the DHOL version of Lash can outperform all major HOL provers executed on the translation.

description: With commodity prices fluctuating daily and production levels changing frequently, we need to be nimble in managing our businesses on a day to day basis. However, there are forces at work over much longer periods of time which also have a tremendous impact. In this report we identify the top twenty four “mega-trends” and discuss how individual businesses can position themselves to benefit from the opportunities. Most of the trends affect everyone in the marketing chain, from input suppliers, primary producers, processors, exporters and retailers to banks.They range from slow moving “hard to see” trends like liberalisation of world trade right through to things which are easy to see like the use of computers on farms.We present the facts about some of the common misconceptions in the industry such as the value of agriculture to the economy (it is important), rural population growth (though declining in some areas,overall it is increasing almost as fast as in the cities), farm employment (it is stable) and farm rates of return (range from very high to very low). In our view the most influential mega-trends are: • rapidly rising population and incomes in developing nations, are lifting demand for fruit, vegetables and higher protein food, and have been driving our food export growth for two decades..While conditions are presently difficult in many of the Asian economies, the long term potential is still very good. • rising consumer expectations of quality are the underlying force behind a wide range of developments in the marketing chain including quality assurance, vertical integration and branding; • the cost/price squeeze is likely to moderate over the next few years, but continue to lead to fewer and larger commercial farms at one end of the scale while lifestyle farms continue to become more popular; • information technology is allowing businesses to seek efficiencies at a whole new level through market information, communication with buyers, financial management and remarkably improved banking services. Increasingly, our ability to take advantage of these trends will determine the success of our business. For the most part the agribusiness sector is reacting positively to these pressures and is well placed for a bright future: Are you keeping up with the mega-trends?

description: In the framework of Lindblad theory for open quantum systems, we calculate the entropy of a damped quantum harmonic oscillator which is initially in a quasi-free state. The maximally predictable states are identified as those states producing the minimum entropy increase after a long enough time. In general, the states with a squeezing parameter depending on the environment's diffusion coefficients and friction constant are singled out, but if the friction constant is much smaller than the oscillator's frequency, coherent states (or thermalized coherent states) are obtained as the preferred classical states.

description: We investigated species referred to as ‘Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis’ from the Far Eastern seas of Russia as well as Besa catenata (Yendo) M.S.Calderon & S.M.Boo from Mie Prefecture (Shima Peninsula, Japan, near to its type locality) morphologically and by analysis of sequences of plastid rbcL and mitochondrial COI-5P genes. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses showed that Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis does not occur in the Far Eastern seas. All algae previously identified as ‘A. flabelliformis’ from Russian waters belong to two morphologically and genetically distinct species that should be referred to the genus Besa as B. divaricata (Holmes) M.S.Calderon & S.M.Boo and B. japonica (Suringar) A.V. Skriptsova & S.Y.Shibneva, comb. nov. We found an unattached form of B. divaricata and named it as B. divaricata f. ahnfeltioides A.V.Skriptsova & S.Y.Shibneva based on its morphological and ecological features.

description: Algae and bacteria establish complex relationships reciprocally influencing their growth. Associated bacterial communities alter microalgae metabolism and physiology, affecting biomass yield and quality. In this study, 203 bacterial isolates (33 different genera), recovered from Tetraselmis suecica F&M-M33 cultures, were identified and phenotypically characterized in relation to the microalgal growth-promoting (MGP) features of indol-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production. IAA production was observed in 30 isolates belonging to 10 genera, whilst siderophore production was observed in 12 isolates belonging to nine genera, indicating that bacteria which are phylogenetically different within the phycosphere community may contribute in similar ways to boosting algal growth. Moreover, strains belonging to a single genus (e.g. Bacillus, Muricauda, Labrenzia and Amorphus) showed different MGP features, but none of these isolates were capable of producing both growth-promoting factors. Twenty-two selected strains were further tested in co-culture assays to evaluate their effect on T. suecica F&M-M33 growth; four induced an increase in microalgal productivity. The exo-metabolome of T. suecica F&M-M33 cultures, either axenically or when co-cultured with either Vitellibacter strain AAD2 or Sphingopyxis flavimaris strain AG5, was determined using a non-targeted metabolomics approach using an Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) system. This allowed for the detection of 133 entities (small chemical molecules, e.g. metabolites), of which 84 were identified. Most of the entities were common in all three cultures, showing that the T. suecica F&M-M33 phycosphere was rich in small peptides and organic acids, and a high number of terpenes were also observed. Seventeen entities were culture-specific, suggesting that they were directly related to microalgae–bacteria interactions.

description: A rigid automorphism of a linking system is an automorphism which restricts to the identity on the Sylow subgroup. A rigid inner automorphism is conjugation by an element in the center of the Sylow subgroup. At odd primes, it is known that each rigid automorphism of a centric linking system is inner. We prove that the group of rigid outer automorphisms of a linking system at the prime $2$ is elementary abelian, and that it splits over the subgroup of rigid inner automorphisms. In a second result, we show that if an automorphism of a finite group $G$ restricts to the identity on the centric linking system for $G$, then it is of $p'$-order modulo the group of inner automorphisms, provided $G$ has no nontrivial normal $p'$-subgroups. We present two applications of this last result, one to tame fusion systems.

description: We present the first calibrated CCD images of the faint supernova remnant G 114.3+0.3 in the emission lines of [OII], [OIII], Halpha+[NII] and [SII]. The deep low ionization CCD images reveal diffuse emission in the south and central areas of the remnant. These are correlated with areas of intense radio emission, while estimates of the [SII]/Halpha ratio suggest that the detected emission originates from shock heated gas. In the medium ionization image of [OIII] we discovered a thin filament in the south matching very well the outer radio contours. This filament is not continuous over its total extent but shows variations in the intensity, mainly in the south-west suggesting inhomogeneous interstellar clouds. Deep long-slit spectra were also taken along the [OIII] filament clearly identifying the observed emission as emission from shock heated gas. The Halpha emission is a few times 10^(-17) erg s^(-1) cm^(-2) arcsec^(-2), while the variations seen in the [OIII] flux suggest shock velocities into the interstellar clouds around or below 100 km/s. The sulfur line ratio approaches the low density limit implying electron densities less than ~500 cm^(-3).

description: To date, explosive synchronization (ES) is shown to be originated from either degree-frequency correlation or inertia of phase oscillators. Of late, it has been shown that ES can be induced in a network by adaptively controlled phase oscillators. Here we show that ES is a generic phenomenon and can occur in any network by appropriately multiplexing it with another layer. We devise an approach which leads to the occurrence of ES with hysteresis loop in a network upon its multiplexing with a negatively coupled (or inhibitory) layer. We discuss the impact of various structural properties of positively coupled (or excitatory) and inhibitory layer along with the strength of multiplexing in gaining control over the induced ES transition. This investigation is a step forward in highlighting the importance of multiplex framework not only in bringing novel phenomena which are not possible in an isolated network but also in providing more structural control over the induced phenomena.

description: This study evaluated the relationship between risk management and corporate performance of Twenty (20) organization register with CAC in Jalingo Taraba state because Risk Management is an integrated framework and monitoring tool for managing uncertainties surrounding the business objectives. To achieve that, this objective was formulated. To provide empirical evidence of the extent to which RM framework has impacted performance in the business sector in Jalingo. The independent variables used were existence of risk management committee, the existence of financial expertise, the existence of audit committee, existence of Chief risk officer, and board size. The study data were sourced from annual reports and accounts of the selected enterprises. The collated data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation matrix. The results reveal that risk management committee, financial expertise, audit committee, and board size have significant positive effect on performance. The result also shows that the existence of chief risk officer has a significant negative effect on performance. The study, therefore, recommended that the regulatory authorities and other relevant institutions are enjoined to reassess their supervisory role with the view to strengthen the RM process and taking the issue of risk management seriously at every level of organizations to provide reasonable assurance.

description: Antigenotoxic properties of plant- and plant-like derived foods may embody nutritional strategies against DNA damage. Marine macroalgae have shown DNA-protective effects, but their nutraceutical potential and the influence of growing conditions on these properties is underexplored. Hence, we aimed to assess the genoprotection potential of wild-harvested vs. aquacultured Ulva rigida on Drosophila melanogaster, following a dietary exposure, in the presence and absence of a genotoxic agent (streptonigrin) using phytochemical profiling. DNA damage was evaluated with a single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay improved with endonucleases. An origin-based phytochemical profile was found, with aquacultured algae showing higher relative amounts of fatty alcohols, sterols, sesquiterpenoids and glycerol esters. Although U. rigida from both sources showed a DNA-protective action, especially against streptonigrin-induced genotoxicity, aquacultured algae demonstrated higher potential, which may be linked to the distinctive phytochemical profile. Overall, this study provided scientific evidence for the genoprotective activity of U. rigida and its confirmation as a functional food.
Path Planning Tolerant to Degraded Locomotion Conditions

description: Mobile robots, especially those driving outdoors and in unstructured terrain, sometimes suffer from failures and errors in locomotion, like unevenly pressurized or flat tires, loose axes or de-tracked tracks. Those are errors that go unnoticed by the odometry of the robot. Other factors that influence the locomotion performance of the robot, like the weight and distribution of the payload, the terrain over which the robot is driving or the battery charge could not be compensated for by the PID speed or position controller of the robot, because of the physical limits of the system. Traditional planning systems are oblivious to those problems and may thus plan unfeasible trajectories. Also, the path following modules oblivious to those problems will generate sub-optimal motion patterns, if they can get to the goal at all. In this paper, we present an adaptive path planning algorithm that is tolerant to such degraded locomotion conditions. We do this by constantly observing the executed motions of the robot via simultaneously localization and mapping (SLAM). From the executed path and the given motion commands, we constantly on the fly collect and cluster motion primitives (MP), which are in turn used for planning. Therefore the robot can automatically detect and adapt to different locomotion conditions and reflect those in the planned paths.

description: Proximity induced superconducting states in the surface of magnetically doped topological insulators can host chiral Majorana modes. We consider a Josephson junction in that system with changing the chemical potential, which drives a topological phase transition in the induced superconducting states as well as a metal-insulator transition in the surface states. The local density of states and the Josephson current are analytically calculated by McMillan's Green's function method in terms of the Andreev reflection coefficient. We show that although the magnitude of the Josephson current is greatly enhanced when the surface state changes from insulating to metallic, its temperature dependence drastically changes at the topological phase transition point, reflecting the appearance of the chiral Majorana modes

The names “ Machaira ” (Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1889: 91) and “ Machaera ” (Mik, 1890: 155) listed by Herting & Dely-Draskovits (1993: 170) as emendations for Macherea Rondani, 1859 (as “ Machaeraea ”) are not. These publications have been checked and the criteria for making these names available as emendations of Macherea (or even “ Machaeraea ”) were not found to be fulfilled; thus, they are incorrect subsequent spellings.

description: High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments, for example at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, store data at exabyte scale in sets of files. They use a binary columnar data format by the ROOT framework, that also transparently compresses the data. In this format, cells are not necessarily atomic but they may contain nested collections of variable size. The fact that row and block sizes are not known upfront makes it challenging to implement efficient parallel writing. In particular, the data cannot be organized in a regular grid where it is possible to precompute indices and offsets for independent writing. In this paper, we propose a scalable approach to efficient multithreaded writing of nested data in columnar format into a single file. Our approach removes the bottleneck of a single writer while staying fully compatible with the compressed, columnar, variably row-sized data representation. We discuss our design choices and the implementation of scalable parallel writing for ROOT's RNTuple format. An evaluation of our approach shows perfect scalability only limited by storage bandwidth for a synthetic benchmark. Finally we evaluate the benefits for a real-world application of dataset skimming.

description: In $D$-dimensional gauge theory with a kinetic term based on the p-form tensor gauge field, we introduce a gauge invariant operator associated with the composite formed from a electric $(p-1)$-brane and a magnetic $(q-1)$-brane in $D=p+q+1$ spacetime dimensions. By evaluating the partition function for this operator, we show that the expectation value of this operator gives rise to the topological contributions identical to those in gauge theory with a topological Chern-Simons BF term.

description: Algae and bacteria establish complex relationships reciprocally influencing their growth. Associated bacterial communities alter microalgae metabolism and physiology, affecting biomass yield and quality. In this study, 203 bacterial isolates (33 different genera), recovered from Tetraselmis suecica F&M-M33 cultures, were identified and phenotypically characterized in relation to the microalgal growth-promoting (MGP) features of indol-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production. IAA production was observed in 30 isolates belonging to 10 genera, whilst siderophore production was observed in 12 isolates belonging to nine genera, indicating that bacteria which are phylogenetically different within the phycosphere community may contribute in similar ways to boosting algal growth. Moreover, strains belonging to a single genus (e.g. Bacillus, Muricauda, Labrenzia and Amorphus) showed different MGP features, but none of these isolates were capable of producing both growth-promoting factors. Twenty-two selected strains were further tested in co-culture assays to evaluate their effect on T. suecica F&M-M33 growth; four induced an increase in microalgal productivity. The exo-metabolome of T. suecica F&M-M33 cultures, either axenically or when co-cultured with either Vitellibacter strain AAD2 or Sphingopyxis flavimaris strain AG5, was determined using a non-targeted metabolomics approach using an Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) system. This allowed for the detection of 133 entities (small chemical molecules, e.g. metabolites), of which 84 were identified. Most of the entities were common in all three cultures, showing that the T. suecica F&M-M33 phycosphere was rich in small peptides and organic acids, and a high number of terpenes were also observed. Seventeen entities were culture-specific, suggesting that they were directly related to microalgae–bacteria interactions.

description: We examine unification of gauge couplings in four dimensional renormalizable gauge theories inspired by the latticized (deconstructed) SM or MSSM in five dimensions. The models are based on replicated gauge groups, spontaneously broken to the diagonal subgroup. The analysis is performed at one-loop level, with the contribution from the heavy vector bosons included, and compared with the analogous results in the SM or MSSM. Unification at or above the diagonal breaking scale is discussed. We find that in the considered class of extensions of the SM(MSSM) unification is possible for a wide range of unification scales and with the similar accuracy as in the SM(MSSM). Unification above the diagonal breaking scale is particularly attractive: it is a consequence of the SM(MSSM) unification, but with the unification scale depending on the number of replications of the gauge group.

description: In August 2010, more than half a billion eggs were recalled in the U.S. because of a Salmonella outbreak. This study examines the effect of the recall with a unique pair of auction experiments investigating willingness to pay (WTP) for conventional and organic eggs, one conducted shortly before and one after the recall with the same participants. In addition to the before and after bids, participants bid again after a negative information or balanced information treatment about the event. Accompanying surveys showed consumers had a high level of awareness of the recall but less knowledge of specific details, and viewed information on egg farm conditions as very important in their WTP. While there were no significant before and after differences, WTP for organic eggs significantly increased in the negative information treatment, and balanced information had a positive effect on consumer WTP for conventional eggs.

description: The impact of the heavy metal cadmium on the lightly silicified marine diatom Cylindrotheca closterium was studied with regard to growth dynamics, organic matter production and morphological characteristics. C. closterium cultures were able to sustain positive growth in the tested range of 0–1000 μg Cd l–1 with a significant decrease in specific growth rate in the exponential growth phase at the highest tested Cd concentration. The concentrations of both dissolved (DOCcell) and particulate organic carbon per cell (POCcell) in C. closterium cultures exposed to 500 and 1000 µg l–1 Cd more than doubled compared with the control culture. Enhanced organic matter production as a feedback response to Cd exposure may thus contribute to cell detoxification, supported by the electrochemical data showing that Cd was not significantly accumulated by or associated with diatom cells except for the culture exposed to 1000 μg Cd l–1. In order to gain more insight into the effects of cadmium on diatom morphological features, the cell surface of C. closterium was characterized at the nanoscale on a single cell level using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Changes induced by Cd were observed as irregular patterns of silica spheres on more silicified parts of the cell, girdle band and around the raphe. These changes clearly show that beside the physiological response, C. closterium also showed a morphological response which is probably due to the interference of Cd with the diatom biosilification process. This study overall contributes to better understanding of the effects of cadmium on diatoms and shows that morphological characteristics assessed by AFM may be a valuable indicator for metal contamination.

description: This paper provides the first quasi-experimental evidence that pesticides adversely affect health outcomes through drinking water by linking provincial pesticide usage reports from several Chinese statistical yearbooks (1998-2011) with the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (1998-2011). First, we follow a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) framework to compare health outcomes between people who drink surface water and ground water in regions with high and low intensity of rice pesticide use before and after 2004, when China shifted from taxing agriculture to subsidizing agricultural programs. Second, we measure the downstream effect of pesticide use from upstream provinces. Our results indicate that a 10% increase in rice pesticide use unfavorably alters the index of dependence (ADL) by 2.51% and 0.33% for local and downstream residents (65 and older), respectively. This is equivalent to 168.8 and 55.89 million dollars in medical costs and offspring’s human capital losses, respectively (in total, 1.92% of rice production profits). Our results are robust to a variety of robustness checks and falsification tests.
