description: Adaptation to climate change in agriculture is a key goal in order to mitigate its effects. The Ricardian method has been used extensively to account for adaptation within impact assessment. Yet, it follows the relatively strict assumption of farms being fully adapted to climate. Building on upcoming evidence of potential limitations of adaptation we relax this assumption and analyse climate change adaptation at the farm-level. Our findings overall depict under-adaptation to climate change of Austrian farms and therefore contradict the concept of full adaptation. Full paper is submitted elsewhere.

description: The butterflies of the Site of Community Importance (SCI) IT1180030 “Calanchi di Rigoroso, Sottovalle e Carrosio”(Piedmont, NW Italy).The Site of Community Importance (SCI) “Calanchi di Rigoroso, Sottovalle e Carrosio” (code: IT1180030) is a recently designated Rete Natura 2000 site, which has no published data of Lepidoptera Papilionoidea. Therefore, the present study represents the first contribute to the knowledge of the butterflies of the site, that was investigated by the authors in 2020.72 species of butterflies were detected, some of which having a restricted range in Piedmont. The species richness is high, considering the reduced extension of the site and the reduced heterogeneity of the habitats. The community of butterflies shows a greater presence of thermophilous species and a lower percentage of heliophilic species, poor vagile species and xerophilic species when compared to the regional butterfly community. Finally, the conservation status of the community is discussed.

description: Many national climate policies are already using or planning to implement different carbon pricing schemes aiming to reach climate mitigation target efficiently. Inadequate international cooperation, however, can lead to emission leakage. To prevent this, several concepts of border carbon adjustment (BCA) have been developed for the energy sector. Despite the significant role of agriculture in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ongoing debates on agri-food carbon pricing, to date, there is no concrete BCA proposal for the agricultural sector. Our qualitative research aims to derive alternative agri-food BCA designs discussing on potential bottlenecks and suggesting solutions, while hypothesizing on potential effects of a BCA on GHG emission, trade balance, land use, and welfare. We conclude with outlining quantitative model-based research required to assess alternative agri-food BCA designs and to test the derived hypotheses.

description: The K2K Long--Baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has been aquiring data since mid-1999 and has analysed those up to March of 2001. Forty-four fully contained events are observedin the fiducial volume of the far detector where $64^{+6.1}_{-6.6}$ are expected based partly on measurements near the beam production point. There is virtually no background for the contained event search. The methods established in this experiment are crucial for operation of future similar experiments to probe the nature of mixing in the neutral lepton sector, a necessary step in understanding the nature of family structure and of mass itself. A brief history and a few notes about the future and direction of the field precede the description of the experiment and its results.

description: Die landwirtschaftliche Produktion hängt in hohem Maße von zahlreichen Bodenprozessen ab, die von Bodenorganismen angetrieben werden. Dennoch findet die Bodenbiodiversität bei Szenarioanalysen zur Zukunft der europäischen Landwirtschaft bisher kaum Beachtung. In einem iterativen partizipativen Prozess wurden vier Entwicklungspfade entwickelt, die sich hinsichtlich der Berücksichtigung des Bodenlebens bei der Bewirtschaftung unterscheiden. Dabei wurde ein besonderes Augenmerk auf Zielkonflikte und Synergien zwischen externen technologiebasierten Leistungen und den durch die biologische Vielfalt im Boden erbrachten Ökosystemleistungen gelegt. In Modellrechnungen wurden am Beispiel der Weizenproduktion die Effekte der Bodenbiodiversität auf Ertragshöhe und -stabilität bis 2050 quantifiziert.

description: In this work we analyse a non-minimal Lorentz-violating extension of the electroweak theory in the fermionic sector. Firstly we analyse the relation between the CKM rotation in the quark sector and possible contributions of this new coupling to flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) processes. In sequel we look for non-diagonal terms through possible leptonic flavour violation (LFV) decays. Strong bounds are presented to the Lorentz violating parameters of both the quark and the leptonic sectors.

description: The study focuses on assessing and monitoring adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in individuals using corticosteroids and evaluating the level of awareness regarding these medications. Corticosteroids, widely prescribed for a variety of conditions, are associated with a range of potential side effects. However, despite their widespread use, both healthcare professionals and patients often demonstrate limited understanding of these drugs' risks and proper usage. This research aims to identify common ADRs related to corticosteroid use, the effectiveness of current monitoring systems, and the level of knowledge patients and healthcare providers possess about these medications. The study employs a combination of surveys, clinical assessments, and literature review to gather data. The results highlight the need for improved education, better monitoring practices, and a proactive approach to managing corticosteroid therapy to minimize potential harm. The findings advocate for targeted interventions to increase awareness among both patients and healthcare professionals.

MICROENVIRONMENT REGULATES FUSION OF BREAST CANCER CELLS

Directed by: Professor Yubing Sun
Fusion of cancer cells has been observed in tumors for more than a century and is thought to contribute to tumor development and drug resistance. The low frequency of cell fusion events and the instability of fused cells have hindered our ability to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern cell fusion. We have developed a patterned gel system that can isolate cell fusion events and we demonstrate that several breast cancer cell lines can fuse into multinucleated giant cells in vitro, and the initiation and longevity of fused cells can be regulated solely by biophysical factors. Dynamically tuning the adhesive area of the micropatterned substrates, reducing cytoskeletal tensions pharmacologically, altering matrix stiffness, and modulating pattern curvature all supported the spontaneous fusion and stability of these multinucleated giant cells. These observations highlight that the biomechanical microenvironment of cancer cells, including the matrix rigidity and interfacial curvature, can directly modulate their fusogenicity, an unexplored mechanism through which biophysical cues regulate tumor progression.

description: The fermion mass hierarchy and finding a predictive mechanism of the flavor mixing parameters remain two of the least understood puzzles facing particle physics today. In this work, we demonstrate how the realization of the Dirac algebra in the presence of two extra spatial dimensions leads to complex fermion field profiles in the extra dimensions. Dimensionally reducing to four dimensions leads to complex quark mass matrices in such a fashion that CP violation necessarily follows. We also present the generalization of the Randall-Sundrum scenario to the case of a multi-brane, six-dimensional brane-world and discuss how multi-brane worlds may shed light on the generation index of the SM matter content.

description: We relate the pre-explosion binding energy of the ejecta of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) of stars with masses in the lower range of CCSNe and the location of the convection zones in the pre-collapse core of these stars, to explosion properties in the frame of the jittering jets explosion mechanism. Our main conclusion is that in the frame of the jittering jets explosion mechanism the remnant of a pulsar in these low energy CCSNe has some significance, in that the launching of jets by the newly born neutron star (NS) spins-up the NS and create a pulsar. We crudely estimated the period of the pulsars to be tens of milliseconds in these cases. The convective zones seed perturbations that lead to accretion of stochastic angular momentum that in turn is assumed to launch jittering jets in this explosion mechanism. We calculate the binding energy and the location of the convective zones with the stellar evolution code \textsc{mesa}. For the lowest stellar masses, we study, $M_{\rm ZAMS} \simeq 8.5-11 M_\odot$, the binding energy above the convective zones is low, and so is the expected explosion energy in the jittering jets explosion mechanism that works in a negative feedback cycle. The expected mass of the NS remnant is $M_{\rm NS} \approx 1.25M_\odot-1.6M_\odot$, even for these low energy CCSNe.

description: We present predictions on the total cross sections and on the ratio of the real part to the imaginary part of the elastic amplitude (rho parameter) for present and future pp and pbar p colliders, and on total cross sections for gamma p -> hadrons at cosmic-ray energies and for gamma gamma-> hadrons up to sqrt{s}=1 TeV. These predictions are based on an extensive study of possible analytic parametrisations invoking the biggest hadronic dataset available at t=0. The uncertainties on total cross sections, including the systematic errors due to contradictory data points from FNAL, can reach 1.9% at RHIC, 3.1% at the Tevatron, and 4.8% at the LHC, whereas those on the rho parameter are respectively 5.4%, 5.2%, and 5.4%.

On the flow separation mechanism in the inverse Leidenfrost regime

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The inverse Leidenfrost regime occurs when a heated object in relative motion with a liquid is surrounded by a stable vapour layer, drastically reducing the hydrodynamic drag at large Reynolds numbers due to a delayed separation of the flow. To elucidate the physical mechanisms that control separation, here we report a numerical study of the boundary-layer equations describing the liquid-vapour flow around a solid sphere whose surface temperature is above the Leidenfrost point. Our analysis reveals that the dynamics of the thin layer of vaporised liquid controls the downstream evolution of the flow, which cannot be properly described substituting the vapour layer by an effective slip length. In particular, the dominant mechanism responsible for the separation of the flow is the onset of vapour recirculation caused by the adverse pressure gradient in the rearward half of the sphere, leading to an explosive growth of the vapour-layer thickness due to the accumulation of vapour mass. Buoyancy forces are shown to have an important effect on the onset of recirculation, and thus on the separation angle. Our results compare favourably with previous experiments.

description: This written portion of my thesis documents my process as a director in staging Taylor Mac’s play The Lily’s Revenge in collaboration with a creative team of designers, dramaturgs, and performers.
I share with the reader my processes toward fostering cohesion and collaboration among a team while working on a complex play that departs from many theatrical conventions. I discuss significant learnings from several areas of dramaturgical and performance research that dovetail within the play: queer performance practice, Theater of the Ridiculous, and Noh theater, and how I used this research to support the communication with my design collaborators to design a show crossing several theatrical genres. I invite readers into the challenges and discoveries of a rehearsal process that required heightened performances from actors and creative solutions for sustaining audience engagement. This thesis includes dramaturgical research, documentation of the rehearsal process, and documentation of audience and performer experiences.

description: Sustainability assessment of the food supply chain and its members is instrumental in achieving a sustainable food future. Despite being influential members of the food supply chain, no comparison of sustainability frameworks from the supply chain perspective of food manufacturers has been conducted so far. This research investigates the suitability of seven sustainability frameworks for food manufacturing companies by evaluating their connectivity to the up- and downstream food supply chain as well as their food sector specificity. The findings show that none of the frameworks fulfils both food sector specificity and full integration into the up- and downstream supply chain, calling for further research on more harmonized and integrated sustainability assessment throughout the food supply chain.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to educational systems globally, with Nigerian tertiary institutions facing considerable challenges in adapting to online learning. This paper explores the impact of the pandemic on Nigeria’s higher education system, focusing on the infrastructural, pedagogical, and policy-related challenges encountered during the shift to remote instruction. It highlights the unpreparedness of many Nigerian universities to implement online learning due to limited digital infrastructure, inadequate teacher training, and student access barriers. Drawing from the experiences of institutions globally, this paper also outlines recommendations for Nigerian tertiary education, including integrating environment and health courses into curricula, strengthening environmental policies, incorporating online mental health services, scaling up teacher training for digital instruction, and promoting evidence-based research. By addressing these key areas, Nigerian universities can enhance their resilience and capacity to deliver quality education during and after future public health emergencies. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for ongoing research and policy reform to adapt the Nigerian higher education system to emerging technologies and future crises.

The observation of a non-monotonic dependence of the Fano factor on the bias voltage in a regime where only few quantum dot ground states contribute to the tunneling current is analyzed by a master equation model. Under the assumption of tunneling through states without Coulomb interaction this behaviour can be qualitatively reproduced by an analytical expression.

description: The purpose of my thesis is to discover a logical way to connect the ideas of Rudolf Steiner, developer of the Waldorf Education Method, and current theories of education and psychology with the architectural design of an educational facility while maintaining Massachusetts Department of Education standards. With this purpose in mind, I studied a school, built in 1973 in Amherst: the Fort River Elementary School. The current school structure is in architectural conflict with many of the ideas extolled by the Waldorf Method. Among the questions, I wish to address in my thesis are: “What is the role of architecture in enhancing the quality of education?”, “What are the design elements which inspire learning?” “Can a Waldorf Method based design be compliant with Massachusetts Standards?”

description: Conventional cone jet algorithms arose from heuristic considerations of LO hard scattering coupled to independent showering. These algorithms implicitly assume that the final states of individual events can be mapped onto a unique set of jets that are in turn associated with a unique set of underlying hard scattering partons. Thus each final state hadron is assigned to a unique underlying parton. The Jet Energy Flow (JEF) analysis described here does not make such assumptions. The final states of individual events are instead described in terms of flow distributions of hadronic energy. Quantities of physical interest are constructed from the energy flow distribution summed over all events. The resulting analysis is less sensitive to higher order perturbative corrections and the impact of showering and hadronization than the standard cone algorithms.

description: This collection of poems tells the narratives of five different people all struggling with the everyday realities of sexual assault and abuse. Using a mixture of information from one on one personal interviews and first hand experience, the poems are crafted with the details of an individual's life in mind. Although most of the stories in these poems are true to a singular person, the emotions and struggles each character experiences are meant to reach out to the wider community of survivors and allies alike. Instead of names, each voice is represented by a familiar image. These images are placed here in an attempt to connect reader to voice so that anyone might find a way into these poems to be a witness and to listen with compassion.

description: Agriculture is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Several studies concluded that minor changes within the current framework conditions would not be enough to solve the problem, a societal transformation is needed (IPBES, 2019). Transformation means fundamental changes in structural, functional, relational, and cognitive aspects of socio-technical-ecological systems that lead to new patterns of interactions and outcomes (Patterson et al., 2017). several projects, initiatives, and innovative research strategies are being developed to transform agriculture systems, however, how to monitor (for reporting) and analyse (for learning) transformative performance of these initiatives is still unclear. The aim of this document is to present a concept to analyse and monitor the level of transformative change on Agriculture within Landscape Laboratories oriented to enhance insect biodiversity in Germany. The concept “ATP-AgriLandLab” (Analysis of Transformation Processes within Agriculture Landscape Laboratories) is based on theoretical frameworks of transformation and transdisciplinary research combined with cases studies, used to identify, and summarize key elements of transformative change. ATP-AgriLandLab is based on the three dimensions of transformative change: changes in the way of thinking, acting, and organizing, where a set of components are linked to each dimension and are used to describe, monitor, and evaluate the performance of transformation processes. Components as technological and social innovations, social values, knowledge, social inclusion, and natural resources management are proposed to monitoring outputs and outcomes of process of change, meanwhile, components as dynamic, flexibility, timing, transparency, and communication allows to monitor the behaviour of the process on-going. This concept seeks to provide a methodology to facilitate the understanding and evaluation of complexity of transformation processes accessible to researchers, practitioners, and advisory agents, working within a Landscape Laboratories in agricultural sector.
QUEST FOR PURE LOVE AND EQUAL RELATIONSHIP:  THE GENESIS AND MEANING OF CHINESE DANMEI NOVEL
Creators: name: Yun, Mengwu
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

description: Danmei, a genre of Chinese online fiction very popular among young Chinese females, refers to narratives of male-on-male romance. Studies of danmei, however, have been limited to the fields of Chinese language and literary studies. The genesis, development, and impact of danmei have not been systematically studied in a broader context. This thesis gives a detailed account of the emergence of Chinese danmei online fiction and its development by introducing studies of Japanese Boys Love culture, the source of danmei, and Western Slash Fiction. I also provide a case study of Beijing Gushi (Beijing Story), one of most influential Chinese danmei narratives and some other online danmei narratives in order to discuss Chinese young Chinese females’ thinking about gender equality, women’s rights, and the family. The rise and popularity of danmei fiction show that, while young Chinese females have already noticed the gender inequality in Chinese society and are eager for change, the patriarchal ideology still controls them. At the same time, danmei offers women a fantasy space to assert their subjectivity.

description: We present a calculation of the mass of the lowest-lying negative-parity J=1/2- state in quenched QCD. Results are obtained using a non-perturbatively O(a)-improved clover fermion action, and a splitting is found between the mass of the nucleon and its parity partner. The calculation is performed on two lattice volumes and at three lattice spacings, enabling a study of both finite-volume and finite lattice-spacing uncertainties. A comparison is made with results obtained using the unimproved Wilson fermion action.

description: The current agricultural production systems with their multiple negative impacts on socio-ecological systems have led to crises, resulting in the demand for change. The German livestock production is one exemplary sector that heavily contributes to these negative effects by amongst others producing a surplus of manure that can lead to the eutrophication of water bodies. Thus, actors are seeking for innovative solutions to this issue, which differ in terms of their underlying conceptualizations and involved imaginations of a desirable future. Based on semi-structured interviews with twelve different actors, this study explores the imaginations of the future that shape contesting ideas out of the nitrous surplus. Results show three different development trajectories, namely “preservation”, “modernization” and, “transformation”, including different and often antagonistic imaginations that need to be discussed and harmonized in society.

description: This paper mainly discussed the application of plant landscape design in special space of ecological buildings. From the concept of special space of ecological buildings, it elaborated social and ecological benefits of greening projects in special space. It proposed the classification method for special space of ecological building with habitat as the major part and combined with characteristics of building form. On the basis of such classification, it discussed green design method and plant selection principle, in the hope of providing certain reference for garden designers in green design of ecological buildings.
