description: Based on the substitutability of economic activities, by comparing the profit margin of farmers' planting of food crops and non-food crops, grain growing and breeding, as well as the daily return of grain growing and working outside during 2001-2013, this paper points out that the comparative income from farmers' behavior of growing grain is not absolutely low, and the income from growing grain is higher than from breeding pigs. It also studies the effect of food subsidies on farmers' behavior of growing grain. Farmers' behavior of growing grain is a helpless choice under many constraints, including not only economic returns, but also moral sentiments, political and social factors. From yield, quality and price, government should rely on science and technology to give full play to the functions of government guidance and supervision, and enhance the enthusiasm of farmers for growing grain, to increase food production and ensure food security.

description: Results are presented of the first blind HI survey of the M81 group of galaxies. The data were taken as part of the HI Jodrell All Sky Survey (HIJASS). The survey reveals several new aspects to the complex morphology of the HI distribution in the group. All four of the known dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies close to M81 can be unambiguously seen in the HIJASS data. Each forms part of the complex tidal structure in the area. We suggest that at least three of these galaxies may have formed recently from the tidal debris in which they are embedded. The structure connecting M81 to NGC2976 is revealed as a single tidal bridge of mass approx. 2.1 x 10^8 Msol and projected spatial extent approx. 80 kpc. Two `spurs' of HI projecting from the M81 complex to lower declinations are traced over a considerably larger spatial and velocity extent than by previous surveys. The dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies BK5N and Kar 64 lie at the spatial extremity of one of these features and appear to be associated with it. We suggest that these may be the remnants of dIrrs which has been stripped of gas and transmuted into dEs by close gravitational encounters with NGC3077. The nucleated dE galaxy Kar 61 is unambiguously detected in HI for the first time and has an HI mass of approx.10^8 Msol, further confirming it as a dE/dIrr transitional object. HIJASS has revealed one new possible group member, HIJASS J1021+6842. This object contains approx. 2 x 10^7 Msol of HI and lies approx.105arcmin from IC2574. It has no optical counterpart on the Digital Sky Survey.

description: In this note, we study the ill-posedness of nonlinear wave equations (NLW). Namely, we show that NLW experiences norm inflation at every initial data in negative Sobolev spaces. This result covers a gap left open in a paper of Christ, Colliander, and Tao (2003) and extends the result by Oh, Tzvetkov, and the second author (2019) to non-cubic integer nonlinearities. In particular, for some low dimensional cases, we obtain norm inflation above the scaling critical regularity. We also prove ill-posedness for NLW, via norm inflation at general initial data, in negative regularity Fourier-Lebesgue and Fourier-amalgam spaces.

description: We present the results of near continuous TESS optical observations of the asynchronous polar CD Ind (RX J2115-5840). The 27.9 d long light curve, with 2 min resolution, reveals remarkable changes in the magnetic accretion geometry of the system over the 7.3 d beat period. We have modelled the changes in the optical spin period pulse shape using a cyclotron emission mapping technique. The resulting cyclotron emission maps of the magnetic white dwarf reveal how the accretion geometry changes from single to two pole accretion and back over the beat cycle. Finally, we present the results from particle based numerical magnetic accretion simulations, that agree with our interpretation of the changing accretion scenario.

description: The Cassini spacecraft made a gravity assist flyby of Jupiter in December 2000. The Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) acquired images of the planet that covered the visual range with filters sensitive to the distribution of clouds and hazes, their altitudes and color. We use a selection of these images to build high-resolution cylindrical maps of the planet in 9 wavelengths. We explore the spatial distribution of the planet reflectivity examining the distribution of color and altitudes of hazes as well as their relation. A variety of analyses is presented: a) Principal Component Analysis (PCA); b) color-altitude indices; and c) chromaticity diagrams (for a quantitative characterization of Jupiter "true" colors as they would be perceived by a human observer). PCA of the full dataset indicates that six components are required to explain the data. These components are likely related to the distribution of cloud opacity at the main cloud, the distribution of two types of hazes, two chromophores or coloring processes and the distribution of convective storms.

description: To understand the spatial difference of agricultural sustainability in Tibet, this paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation model of agricultural sustainability to calculate the score of agricultural sustainability of 7 areas in 2013 in Tibet. By using cluster analysis, this paper conducts the regional evaluation of Tibet's agricultural sustainability. The results show that 7 cities' regional difference of agricultural sustainability was obvious in 2013, the agricultural sustainability index value was 0.4232-0.6937, and the value was in the order of Nyingchi> Lhasa >Shannan>Ali>Shigatse>Qamdo>Nagqu. According to the agricultural sustainable development level, Tibet can be divided into three regions: the first type is the area with the highest level of sustainable development of agriculture, including Nyingchi and Lhasa; the second type is the area with the average level of sustainable development of agriculture, including Shigatse and Shannan; the third type is the area with the low level of sustainable development of agriculture, including Qamdo, Ali and Nagqu.

description: We report the first ensemble results from the FUSE survey of molecular hydrogen in lines of sight with A_V $\gtrsim$ 1 mag. We have developed techniques for fitting computed profiles to the low-J lines of H2, and thus determining column densities for J = 0 and J = 1, which contain $\gtrsim$99% of the total H2. From these column densities and ancillary data we have derived the total H2 column densities, hydrogen molecular fractions, and kinetic temperatures for 23 lines of sight. This is the first significant sample of molecular hydrogen column densities of 10^21 cm^-2, measured through UV absorption bands. We have also compiled a set of extinction data for these lines of sight, which sample a wide range of environments. We have searched for correlations of our H2-related quantities with previously published column densities of other molecules and extinction parameters. We find strong correlations between H2 and molecules such as CH, CN, and CO, in general agreement with predictions of chemical models. We also find the expected correlations between hydrogen molecular fraction and various density indicators such as kinetic temperature, CN abundance, the steepness of the far-UV extinction rise, and the width of the 2175A bump. Despite the relatively large molecular fractions, we do not see the values greater than 0.8 expected in translucent clouds. With the exception of a few lines of sight, we see little evidence for the presence of individual translucent clouds in our sample. We conclude that most of the lines of sight are actually composed of two or more diffuse clouds similar to those found toward targets like zeta Oph. We suggest a modification in terminology to distinguish between a "translucent line of sight" and a "translucent cloud."

Indian Ocean Arab Navigation Studies Towards a Global Perspective: Annotated Bibliography and Research Roadmap (TN no. 2, Version 3)
Creators: name: Bénard, Inês

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: nautical technical; more general maritime literature; indian ocean countries

description: The present work is both a historical overview and a report on the current state of affairs in the field of Arab navigation studies, with particular attention to Indian Ocean navigation. Having in view the earliest historical testimonies, and comprising both nautical technical and more general maritime literature, we focus on the late medieval and early modern periods. Although we are aware of the inextricable relation between the studies of different aspects of Indian Ocean Arab navigation, and though we are surveying and profiting from a wide range of sources, our particular research within the ERC RUTTER Project gives a certain angle to our perspective: we are primarily concerned with the seamanship treatises (in Portuguese, livros de marinharia) by Arab authors, and how they were shared with or made their way into other nautical traditions. In this regard, we are fortunate to benefit from the extraordinary pool of knowledge of our colleagues at the Centro Interuniversitário de História das Ciências e da Tecnologia, Lisbon, and we offer a contribution which while not leaving historical stones unturned, is fully apprised with the living reality and practice of nautical sciences.

description: We describe novel excitons in quantum dots by allowing for an interaction with a Fermi sea of electrons. We argue that these excitons can be realized very simply with self-assembled quantum dots, using the wetting layer as host for the Fermi sea. We show that a tunnel hybridization of a charged exciton with the Fermi sea leads to two striking effects in the optical spectra. First, the photoluminescence lines become strongly dependent on the vertical bias. Secondly, if the exciton spin is nonzero, the Kondo effect leads to peculiar photoluminescence line shapes with a line width determined by the Kondo temperature.

Food Security, Strategic Stockholding and Trade-Distorting Subsidies: Is There a Permanent Solution?

description: In 2013 the Bali Package was agreed by members of the WTO. One aspect of the Bali Package dealt with the acquisition of stockholdings of agricultural products for food security purposes. India, in particular, had been pushing hard for an exemption for these purposes from the limits on domestic support for agricultural producers it had agreed in the Uruguay Round. India wanted no limits on its use of such subsidies; some other members of the WTO rejected open-ended subsidies. The members of the WTO, including India, agreed that the larger Bali Package could go ahead, with the provision that there would be a moratorium on the launching of countervail suits against subsidies for acquiring stockholdings while a permanent solution was negotiated by the WTO Ministerial in 2017. The moratorium would end in 2017 even if a permanent solution were not yet agreed. India subsequently changed its stance, instead demanding that the moratorium on countervailing actions remain in place until a permanent solution could be negotiated. The Bali Package was held up until almost the end of 2014, when members agreed to India’s demand. Thus, finding a permanent solution becomes central to disciplining domestic agricultural support provided by developing countries. The likelihood of a permanent solution being found is investigated in the article and no obvious solution identified. Thus, developing countries appear no longer constrained by trade law when making expenditures to support farmers. This is a major retreat from the achievements of the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture.

Inclination effects on the X-ray emission of Galactic black-hole binaries

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Galactic black-hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) emit a compact, optically thick, mildly relativistic radio jet when they are in the hard and hard-intermediate states. In these states, BHBs exhibit a correlation between the time lag of hard photons with respect to softer ones and the photon index of the power law component that characterizes the X-ray spectral continuum above $\sim$ 10 keV. The correlation, however, shows large scatter. Our objective is to investigate the role that the inclination of the system plays on the correlation between the time lag and the photon index. We find that the correlation between the time lag and the photon index is tight in low-inclination systems and becomes weaker in high-inclination systems. The amplitude of the lags is also larger at low and intermediate inclination angles than at high inclination. Our jet model that reproduces the process of Comptonization in an extended jet can account for the observations remarkably well.

These flares/bursts can be classified into four types: 1) regular bursts with short burst phase of about 20 s (R1), 2) regular bursts with short quiescent phase of about 20 s (R2), 3) long regular bursts (R3) with burst cycle > 1000 s, and 4) irregular bursts (IR). For all the observed bursts, the duration of the quiescent phase is inversely proportional to the square of the QPO frequency (2-10 Hz).

description: In this work we have demonstrated the growth of nanocrystalline diamond on boron nitride ceramic. We measured the zeta potential of the ceramics to select the diamond seeds. Diamond was then grown on the seeded ceramics using a microwave chemical vapour deposition system. A clear difference was found between the samples which were seeded with nanodiamond and the ones not seeded before growth. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the excellent quality of the diamond film. Dielectric measurements showed an increase in the dielectric constant of the material after diamond growth. The diamond was also doped with boron to make it superconducting. The film had a transition temperature close to 3.4K. Similar strategies can be applied for growth of diamond on other types of ceramics.

description: We have developed an automated cross-correlation technique to detect 21cm emission in sample spectra obtained from the HI Parkes All Sky Survey. The initial sample selection was the nearest spectra to 2435 low surface brightness galaxies in the catalogue of Morshidi-Esslinger et al. (1999). The galaxies were originally selected to have properties similar to Fornax cluster dE galaxies. As dE galaxies are generally gas poor it is not surprising that there were only 26 secure detections. All of the detected galaxies have very high values of $(M_{H}/L_{B})_{\odot}$. Thus the HI selection of faint optical sources leads to the detection of predominately gas rich galaxies. The gas rich galaxies tend to reside on the outskirts of the large scale structure delineated by optically selected galaxies, but they do appear to be associated with it. These objects appear to have similar relative dark matter content to optically selected galaxies. The HI column densities are lower than the 'critical density' necessary for sustainable star formation and they appear, relatively, rather isolated from companion galaxies. These two factors may explain their high relative gas content. We have considered the HI mass function by looking at the distribution of velocities of HI detections in random spectra on the sky. The inferred HI mass function is steep though confirmation of this results awaits a detailed study of the noise characteristics of the HI survey.

Pereopod 1 short, with broad laminate expansion on ischium. Pereopods 2 equal or subequal, carpus with 20–24 articles. Pereopods 3–5 long and slender, with slender spinulose dactyls, 1 or 2 carpal spines, 5 or 6 meral spines. Abdominal somite 3 with posterior dorsal lobe. Abdominal somite 6, 1.5 times as long as wide. Total length to 165 mm.

 Habitat and depth. Offshore mud and sand, 550–2000 m.
 Range. Washington State to Acapulco; Gulf of California, southeastern Atlantic. Type locality off Montevideo, Uruguay.
 Remarks. Christoffersen (1989) synonymized Pandalopsis with Pandalus Leach, 1814; but Komai (1994) rejected this synonymy because it was based on larval features. Because P. ampla has been reported in widely separated localities, Komai (1994) suggested that this might actually be a species complex.

description: We experimentally investigate particle migration in a non-Brownian suspension sheared in a Taylor-Couette configuration and in the limit of vanishing Reynolds number. Highly resolved index-matching techniques are used to measure the local particulate volume fraction. In this wide-gap Taylor-Couette configuration, we find that for a large range of bulk volume fraction, $ϕ_b \in [20\% - 50\%]$, the fully developed concentration profiles are well predicted by the suspension balance model of Nott \& Brady (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 275, 1994, pp. 157-199). Moreover, we provide systematic measurements of the migration strain scale and of the migration amplitude which highlight the limits of the suspension balance model predictions.

description: The objective of this research article is to address the issues Canadian nurses encounter when commuting across the border to work in the United States. While there are challenges, this study also demonstrates that this is an area where cross-border labour mobility has been more easily attainable under the specific NAFTA requirements, most notably in obtaining the applicable TN visa to work in the United States. This article explores the following: 1) trends in nursing demand in Windsor-Essex and Detroit Metropolitan Area; 2) professionals under NAFTA: TN visas; 3) impediments to crossing the border; 4) accreditation requirements to work in the United States; 5) 2014 changes to nurse accreditation in Ontario; 6) differences in compensation and other financial considerations; 7) differences in opportunities for advancement, work structure and environment; and 8) conclusions.

PHOTON COUNTING

description: New developments in photon counting detectors, such as Photon-to-Digital Converters (PDCs), based on an array of Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) make it possible not only to count photons but also to resolve their time of arrival to unprecedented precision. For adaptive optics, time-resolved wavefront sensing appears to be particularly useful for modulated WFSs, such as the Pyramid WFS, because it allows breaking up the modulation cycle into several time slices, so that information collected in different slices can be processed differently. In the pyramid WFS measurement process, the image of the NGS is modulated in a circle around the tip of the pyramid. For some wavefront modes, it can be shown that some time slices do not provide any information on that mode. It is therefore better to exclude photons collected during these time slices from the wavefront reconstruction process, because they only contribute additional noise. We have simulated a time-resolved pyramid WFS in OOMAO/OOPAO for a single-conjugate AO system on an 8-meter telescope. For such a system, modulation is needed in order to achieve sufficient dynamic range. However, it is well known that modulation reduces sensitivity to low order modes. Our results show that by excluding specific time slices from the reconstruction process for low order modes, this loss in sensitivity can be reversed, at least partially, leading to better delivered Strehl ratios and higher limiting magnitude for the system. We also report on preliminary results obtained on the Giant Magellan Telescope PWFS prototype during integration in Arcetri confirming the expected behavior during the modulation cycle.

 Pandalus franciscorum Kingsley, 1878b: 94.
 Diagnosis. Rostrum 1.0–1.6 times as long as carapace, nearly straight to sharply upcurved, with 10–15 dorsal teeth, spines; 6–12 ventral teeth, apex trifid. Eye large. Stylocerite of first antennae short, flagella shorter than carapace. Scaphocerite narrow, lateral tooth exceeding blade, flagellum about equal to body length. Carapace with antennal, pterygostomian teeth. Third maxilliped without exopod but with epipod. Pereopods 1–4 with epipods. Pereopod 1 slender, chelate; ischium with slight lamina. Pereopods 2 unequal, left with about 60 carpal articles, right with 18–21 articles, epipods on pereopods 1–4. Pereopods 3–5 slender, margins spinulose, with 6–9 meral spines. Dorsal posterior margin of abdominal somite 3 slightly produced. Pleuron of somite 4 with weak posterolateral point, pleuron of somite 5 with strong posterolateral point. Somite 6 shorter than telson. Telson with 5 or 6 pairs dorsolateral spines, 2 pair terminal spines. Male total length to 123 mm, female to 140 mm.
 Color in life. Background translucent, marked with irregular striping, spots of brick red or chocolate brown, with fine brick-red dots between stripes. Fine blue spots on cardiac region of carapace. Antennae and appendages marked with striking bands of white, yellow, red or brown (Butler 1980, color plate 4A; Wicksten 1991).
 Habitat and depth. Sea grass beds, rocky reefs, mixed shell, sand; lowest intertidal zone to 185 m.
 Range. Black Hills, north side of Alaskan Peninsula, Alaska to San Quintin Bay, Baja California. Type locality Puget Sound.
 Remarks. These shrimp often are seen in cracks or near rocks during the day, where they may rest upside down. The long, banded antennae are conspicuous. These shrimp will pick at a diver's equipment or even a gloved hand, but do not show any obvious quivering of the antennae or waving the body, as is seen in tropical cleaner shrimps of the genus Lysmata (Wicksten 2009).
 Confusion remains as to whether or not P. danae and P. gurneyi are separate species.
