description: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate fertiliser-derived N uptake of soybean from different depths of the soil under field conditions. In addition, soybean root growth in sandy and loess soil was evaluated to understand the impact of site and soybean variety characteristics on soybean N uptake under continental conditions in Central Europe. Root analysis to determine rooting depth and root length density (RLD) was carried out using the profile wall method at three growth stages and two soybean cultivars ( Glycine max (L.) Merr. cvs. Merlin and Sultana) in three consecutive years at two locations in eastern Germany. Fertiliser-derived N uptake of soybean from the soil surface and the subsoil was determined at 0.3 and 0.6 m depths using 15 N-labelled nitrate N. Root studies showed that soybean roots grew up to 1.4 m on sandy and loess soil sites. Root length densities of up to 2.4 cm cm −3 were documented in the topsoil. By means of 15 N application, soybean was shown to take up 15% of the surface-applied nitrogen in the dry growing season and 67 % in high rainfall years, between 19 and 77 % of the nitrogen placed at 0.3 m soil depth, and between 2 and 64 % of the nitrogen placed at 0.6 m soil depth by flowering. The field trials showed that soybeans can absorb a high proportion of the nitrogen placed in the subsoil by flowering time. Due to a well-developed root system reaching deep into the soil, soybeans are able to cover their N demand from soil-borne sources and secure yield formation during dry periods by water uptake from the subsoil.

description: BackgroundPhysiological plateaus (slowing, stalling, pausing) during normal labor and birth have been reported for decades, but have received limited attention in research and clinical practice. To date, heterogeneous conceptualizations and terminology have impeded effective communication and research in this area, raising concern as to whether some physiological plateaus might be misinterpreted as dystocia. To address this issue, we provide a point of orientation, mapping contemporary concepts, and terminologies of physiological plateaus during normal labor and birth.MethodsWe conducted a scoping review, considering published and unpublished reports of physiological plateaus, reported in any language, between 1990 and 2021. Database searches of CINAHL, EMBASE, Emcare, MIDIRS, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Open Grey yielded 1,953 records, with an additional 35 reports identified by hand searching. In total, 43 reports from eleven countries were included in this scoping review.ResultsConceptualizations of physiological plateaus are heterogeneous and can be allocated to six conceptual groups: cervical reversal or recoil, plateaus, lulls during transition, “rest and be thankful” stage, deceleration phase, and latent phases. Across included material, we identified over 60 different terms referring to physiological plateaus. Overall, physiological plateaus are reported across the entire continuum of normal labor and birth.ConclusionsPhysiological plateaus may be an essential mechanism of self-regulation of the mother-infant dyad, facilitating feto-maternal adaptation and preventing maternal and fetal distress during labor and birth.

description: Numerical codes using the Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM) for simulating one- or two-phase flows are widely compiled and run on graphical process units. However, those computational units necessitate to re-write the program by using a low-level language which is suited to those architectures (e.g. CUDA for GPU NVIDIA or OpenCL). In this paper we focus our effort on the performance portability of LBM i.e. the possibility of writing LB algorithms with a high-level of abstraction while remaining efficient on a wide range of architectures such as multicores x86, GPU NVIDIA, ARM, and so on. For such a purpose, implementation of LBM is carried out by developing a unique code, LBM_saclay written in the C++ language, coupled with the Kokkos library for performance portability in the context of High Performance Computing. In this paper, the LBM is used to simulate a phase-field model for two-phase flow problems with phase change. The mathematical model is composed of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the conservative Allen-Cahn model. Initially developed in the literature for immiscible binary fluids, the model is extended here to simulate phase change occurring at the interface between liquid and gas. For that purpose, a heat equation is added with a source term involving the time derivative of the phase field. In the phase-field equation a source term is added to approximate the mass production rate at the interface. Several validations are carried out to check step-by-step the implementation of the full model. Finally, computational times are compared on CPU and GPU platforms for the physical problem of film boiling.

description: This paper provides evidence on the importance of reputation, intended as beliefs buyers hold about sellerís reliability, in the context of the Kenyan rose export sector. A model of reputation and relational contracting is developed and tested. We show that 1) the value of the relationship increases with the age of the relationship; 2) during an exogenous negative supply shock sellers prioritize relationships consistently with the predictions of the model; and 3) reliability at the time of the shock positively correlates with future survival and relationship value. Models exclusively focussing on enforcement or insurance considerations cannot account for the evidence.
Small scale structure of homogeneous turbulent shear flow

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The structure of homogeneous turbulent shear flow is studied using data generated by Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and a linear analysis for both compressible and incompressible cases. At large values of the mean shear rate, the Rapid Distortion Theory (RDT) limit is approached. Analytical solutions are found for the inviscid compressible RDT equations at long times. The RDT equations are also solved numerically for both inviscid and viscous cases. The RDT solutions, confirmed by the DNS results, show that the even order transverse derivative moments of the dilatational and solenoidal velocity fields are anisotropic, with the dilatational motions more anisotropic than their solenoidal counterparts. The results obtained for the incompressible case are similar to those obtained for the solenoidal motions in the compressible case. The DNS results also indicate an increase in the anisotropy of the even order transverse derivative moments with the order of the moment, in agreement with the RDT predictions. Although the anisotropy decreases with Reynolds number, it is likely that for higher even order moments it will persist at large values of the Reynolds number, in contrast with the postulate of local isotropy. The RDT solutions also predict that the normalized odd order transverse derivative moments of the solenoidal velocity for the compressible case and of the velocity for the incompressible case should approach a constant different than zero at large times. This prediction is supported by the DNS data. For higher odd order normalized moments, the RDT analysis suggests that the anisotropy may persist at large values of the Reynolds number, in agreement with the existent experimental data.

description: Nanohoops, an exciting class of fluorophores with supramolecular binding abilities, have the potential to become innovative tools within biological imaging and sensing. Given the biological importance of cell membranes, incorporation of macrocyclic materials with the dual capability of fluorescence emission and supramolecular complexation would be particularly interesting. A series of different-sized nanohoops—ethylene glycol-decorated [ n ]cyclo- para -pyrenylenes (CPYs) ( n = 4–8)—were synthesised via an alternate synthetic route which implements a stannylation-based precursor, producing purer material than the previous borylation approach, enabling the growth of single-crystals of the Pt-macrocycle. Reductive elimination of these single-crystals achieved significantly higher selectivity and yields towards smaller ring-sized nanohoops ( n = 4–6). The supramolecular binding capabilities of these CPYs were then explored through host–guest studies with a series of polycyclic (aromatic)hydrocarbons, revealing the importance of molecular size, shape, and CH–π contacts for efficient binding. CPYs were incorporated within the hydrophobic layer of lipid bilayer membranes, as confirmed by microscopic imaging and emission spectroscopy, which also demonstrated the size-preferential incorporation of the five-fold nanohoop. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the position and orientation within the membrane, as well as the unique non-covalent threading interaction between nanohoop and phospholipid.

Year: 2014

description: A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study has been conducted on the Bi Building located on the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver, Canada. The building is a Multi Unit Residential Building (MURB). It has been requested by the Sustainability Office at UBC. This LCA study looks at the cradle to grave life cycle of a building and generates the environmental impact of a product system. In this case, the building is considered the product system. The main components of the life cycle of this building system include the construction products manufacturing, construction, and maintenance over the 99 year life cycle, and end of life demolition. Also included are the annual and total operating energy consumptions of the building. The Impact Categories selected for this project are Global Warming potential, Acidification potential, Eutrophication potential, Ozone depletion potential, Photochemical Smog Potential, Human health respiratory effects potential, weighted raw resource use, and primary energy consumption. This study is based on the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, including the goal and scope document. Analysis is conducted on the Bill of Materials, Inventory, as well as the Building Functions. This is in addition to a Sensitivity Analysis of 5 building components. The analysis has found that of the 5 building components, the Bi building is most sensitive from an environmental impact prospective due to changes to the 20 MPa concrete with average flyash. A major reason this study is carried out is to analyze the Fenestration Ratio from an LCA prospective. It has been found than increase in glazing results in the increase of overall environmental impact of the building system. There is however a decrease in impact during the end of life process.

description: We evaluate whether the introduction of pessimistic homogeneous beliefs in the frictionless Lucas-Mehra-Prescott model and the Kehoe-Levine-Alvarez-Jermann model with endogenous borrowing constraints, helps explain the equity premium, the risk-free rate and the equity volatility puzzles as well as the short-term momentum and long-term reversal of excess returns. We calibrate the model to U.S. data as in Alvarez and Jermann [4] and we find that the data does not contradict the qualitative predictions of the models. When the preferences parameters are disciplined to match both the average annual risk-free rate and equity premium, the Lucas-MehraPrescott model gives a more quantitatively accurate explanation for short-term momentum than the Kehoe-Levine-Alvarez-Jermann model but the latter gives a more quantitatively accurate explanation for the equity volatility puzzle. Long-term reversal remains quantitatively unexplained in both models.
Scaling of local persistence in the disordered contact process

description: We study the time-dependence of the local persistence probability during a non-stationary time evolution in the disordered contact process in $d=1,2$, and $3$ dimensions. We present a method for calculating the persistence with the strong-disorder renormalization group (SDRG) technique, which we then apply in the critical point analytically for $d=1$ and numerically for $d=2,3$. According to the results, the average persistence decays at late times as an inverse power of the logarithm of time, with a universal, dimension-dependent generalized exponent. For $d=1$, the distribution of sample-dependent local persistences is shown to be characterized by a universal limit distribution of effective persistence exponents. By a phenomenological approach of rare-region effects in the active phase, we obtain a non-universal algebraic decay of the average persistence for $d=1$, and enhanced power laws for $d>1$. As an exception, for randomly diluted lattices, the algebraic decay holds to be valid for $d>1$, which is explained by the contribution of dangling ends. Results on the time-dependence of average persistence are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. We also prove the equivalence of the persistence with a return probability, a valuable tool for the argumentations.

description: Actor-level data on large-scale commercial agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa are scarce. The peculiar choice of transnational investing in African land has, therefore, been subject to conjecture. Addressing this gap, we reconstructed the underlying logics of investment location choices in a Bayesian network, using firm- and actor-level interview and spatial data from 37 transnational agriculture and forestry investments across 121 sites in Mozambique, Zambia, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. We distinguish four investment locations across gradients of resource frontiers and agglomeration economies to derive the preferred locations of different investors with varied skillsets and market reach (i.e., track record). In contrast to newcomers, investors with extensive track records are more likely to expand the land use frontier, but they are also likely to survive the high transaction costs of the pre-commercial frontier. We highlight key comparative advantages of Southern and Eastern African frontiers and map the most probable categories of investment locations.

description: Every year thousands of Örms are engaged in research joint ventures (RJV), where all knowledge gained through R&D is shared among members. Most of the empirical literature assumes members are non-cooperative in the product market. But many RJV members are rivals leaving open the possibility that Örms may form RJVs to facilitate collusion. We examine this by exploiting variation in RJV formation generated by a policy change that a§ects the collusive beneÖts but not the research synergies associated with a RJV. We use data on RJVs formed between 1986 and 2001 together with Örm-level information from Compustat to estimate a RJV participation equation. After correcting for the endogeneity of R&D and controlling for RJV characteristics and Örm attributes, we Önd the decision to join is impacted by the policy change. We also Önd the magnitude is signiÖcant: the policy change resulted in an average drop in the probability of joining a RJV of 34% among telecommunications Örms, 33% among computer and semiconductor manufacturers, and 27% among petroleum reÖning Örms. Our results are consistent with research joint ventures serving a collusive function.

description: Recently, students have been very vocal against poor services being offered by higher education institutions. These services range from lectures, registration, classroom management, examinations, transport, library services, housing or residence to the cafeteria. There is a perception that higher education institutions are not doing enough to address the challenges students are encountering even when such grievances or concerns are raised. Therefore, this study analysed the impact of an apology and explanation on interactional justice with respect to both academic and non-academic services. In addition, students' perceptions of an apology, explanation and interactional justice were evaluated. Respondents were selected from a purposive sample of 430 full-time students drawn across three public higher education institutions and data were collected using a self-administered quantitative questionnaire. Data were analysed using the SPSS and Smart PLS3. The findings of this study showed that both an explanation and an apology have a positive and significant impact on interactional justice in higher education institutions. The results also showed that students were largely satisfied with the explanation given than their perception of an apology and interactional justice. This study underpins the need for institutional managers to foster interaction between the institution and aggrieved students. Higher education institutions should offer an apology and explanation if necessary to pacify any animosity that may arise as a result of a poorly delivered service.
title: A Formative Evaluation Of Augmentative And Alternative Communication Approaches To Promote Literacy In Young Children With Severe Speech And Physical Impairments
Creators: name: Nunes da Ponte, Maria Margarida
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1997

description: This thesis describes an educational intervention with three children with severe speech and physical impairments. The intervention focused on storybook reading experiences for early literacy development through the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication technologies and methods. The review of literature focused on the main aspects relating to children with SSPI, and in particular on the difficulties they experience in developing emergent literacy skills. This review suggests the hypothesis that the use of AAC Techniques in storytelling achievement can provide emergent literacy experiences, which can promote the development of literacy in children with SSPI. In particular the study set out to enquire whether AAC techniques can be used to enhance participation with SSPI in storytelling activities, and whether such activities improve a pupil’s opportunities to become emergent readers.

 A six-month intervention was designed which included strategies proposed for increasing the children’s participation during storybook reading sessions, like repeated readings of the same story, abundant use of graphic symbols and access to AAC techniques.

 Qualitative data were gathered from the professionals at the Centre, and from the mothers. Storybook reading sessions with the teacher at school and with the mothers or significant other at home were videotaped, at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. Quantitative data were collected by videotape analysis. Communicative acts of children and adults were divided into communication categories, and their meaning was discussed as to form, use and content. One of the main conclusions of the study was that the use of stories promoting communication and language learning in storybook reading sessions can develop literacy skills if carried out in conjunction with AAC techniques, including graphic symbols and the technology to generate them. A second conclusion is that there is no automatic transfer of the improvement of communicative skills in the classroom to the interaction with the mothers.

We present a simple example admitting analytic solutions for the cosmological background evolution that mimics $Λ$CDM cosmology. We argue that the extended cuscuton as dark energy can be constrained, like usual scalar-tensor theories, by the growth history of matter density perturbations and the time variation of Newton's constant.

description:
Due in part to racial disparities and underrepresentation in clinical studies, optimal therapies for Black patients with multiple myeloma remain undefined. This final analysis of GRIFFIN by race showed that the addition of daratumumab (D) to lenalidomide/bortezomib/dexamethasone (RVd) provides clinical benefit among both Black and White transplant-eligible newly diagnosed patients compared with RVd alone. However, Black patients were more likely to discontinue ≥1 drug due to treatment-emergent adverse events. In summary, these findings suggest a benefit of D-RVd front-line therapy among Black and White patients and underscore the importance of equitable treatment access for all patients.

Fast Radio Bursts from Interacting Binary Neutron Star Systems
Creators: name: Zhang, Bing
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent observations of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) suggest that some FRBs reside in an environment consistent with that of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. The bursting rate for repeaters could be very high and the emission site is likely from a magnetosphere. We discuss a hypothesis of producing abundant repeating FRBs in BNS systems. Decades to centuries before a BNS system coalesces, the magnetospheres of the two neutron stars start to interact relentlessly. Abrupt magnetic reconnection accelerates particles, which emit coherent radio waves in bunches via curvature radiation. FRBs are detected as these bright radiation beams point towards Earth. This model predicts quasi-periodicity of the bursts at the rotation periods of the two merging neutron stars (tens of milliseconds and seconds, respectively) as well as the period of orbital motion (of the order of 100 s). The bursting activities are expected to elevate with time as the two neutron stars get closer. The repeating FRB sources should be gravitational wave (GW) sources for space-borne detectors such as LISA if the sources are close enough, and will be eventually detected by ground-based detectors when the two neutron stars coalesce.

description: We investigate inclusive Standard Model Higgs boson pair production at lepton and hadron colliders for Higgs boson masses in the range 120 GeV < m_H < 200 GeV. For m_H < 140 GeV we find that hadron colliders have a very limited capability to determine the Higgs boson self-coupling, λ, due to an overwhelming background. We also find that, in this mass range, supersymmetric Higgs boson pairs may be observable at the LHC, but a measurement of the self coupling will not be possible. For m_H > 140 GeV we examine ZHH and HH nu bar-nu production at a future e+e- linear collider with center of mass energy in the range of sqrt{s}=0.5 - 1 TeV, and find that this is likely to be equally difficult. Combining our results with those of previous literature, which has demonstrated the capability of hadron and lepton machines to determine λin either the high or the low mass regions, we establish a very strong complementarity of these machines.

description: Empirical evidence suggests that online reviews are an important source of consumers information and a relevant determinant of the firms revenues. Little is known, however, about how prices and reviews affect each other. This paper proposes a dynamic game to investigate this relationship. A long-lived monopoly faces a sequence of short-lived consumers whose only information about the value of an experience good is the one contained in the reviews completed by previous buyers. Neither the monopoly nor the consumers have private information about the value of the good. After buying the good, the consumers observe a quality realisation that is correlated with the actual value of the good and decide whether to complete reviews. The consumers complete reviews according to a social rule that maximises the present value of current and future consumers utility. It is shown that a necessary condition for the existence of reviews is that the firm cannot fully appropriate the surplus generated by this increased information. Furthermore, the reviews induce a mean preserving spread on the posterior beliefs about the value of the good which, combined with the convexity with respect to the prior of the indirect utility and profit functions, implies that reviews are valuable for both the consumers and the firm. Hence, both parties are willing to face some cost in order to increase the information available in the market. The main result of the paper is that, from the firm’s perspective, this cost takes the form of a discount in the price offered to current consumers.

description: There were 27 novel coronavirus pneumonia cases found in Wuhan, China in December 2019, named as 2019-nCoV temporarily and COVID-19 formally by WHO on 11 February, 2020. In December 2019 and January 2020, COVID-19 has spread in large scale among the population, which brought terrible disaster to the life and property of the Chinese people. In this paper, we will first analyze the feature and pattern of the virus transmission, and discuss the key impact factors and uncontrollable factors of epidemic transmission based on public data. Then the virus transmission can be modelled and used for the inflexion and extinction period of epidemic development so as to provide theoretical support for the Chinese government in the decision-making of epidemic prevention and recovery of economic production. Further, this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the prevention methods taken by the Chinese government such as multi-level administrative region isolation. It is of great importance and practical significance for the world to deal with public health emergencies.

description: This study examines the prevalence of marital contracts across marriage cohorts (1990–2019) in Germany. We further investigate the characteristics of spouses who signed a marital contract. Using cross-sectional data from the German Family Panel (pairfam, 2018/19), we employ complementary log–log and multinomial logistic regression models to predict the prevalence and the type of marital contracts. The results show that 5% of all married couples opt out of the default matrimonial property regime by signing a contract in Germany. Differentiating between contract types, most couples either specify a separation of property (40%) or modify the default community of accrued gains (31%). We find an increase in the prevalence of marital contracts across marriage cohorts. The decision to opt out of the default is strongly positively associated with self-employment that often requires the customisation of asset ownership structures within marriage. Married individuals with prior divorce experiences are more likely to opt for the separation of property, indicating that the awareness of the economic consequences of divorce promotes the individualisation of marriage. Our results are in line with the cross-national trend towards customised marriages, although the trend in Germany is less pronounced than in other countries.

description: Unterschiedliche Vorstellungen über die Geschichte und Zukunft unserer Gesellschaft spielen im politischen Diskurs eine zentrale Rolle: Begriffe wie Fortschritt oder Revolution liefern uns Erklärungsmuster für die bisherige Geschichte, umreißen aber auch den ‚Erwartungshorizont‘ für zukünftige Entwicklungen. Im Fokus stehen hierbei die sich wandelnden Geschichts- und Zukunftskonzepte in den Debatten der deutschen Sozialdemokratie, die zeitweise unter enger Orientierung an der naturgeschichtlichen Evolution entworfen wurden. Im vorliegenden Band werden diese evolutionistischen Semantiken aus begriffsgeschichtlicher Perspektive untersucht.
description: Different ideas about the history and future of our society play a central role in political discourse: concepts such as progress or revolution provide us with explanatory patterns for past history, but also outline the 'horizon of expectations' for future developments. The focus here is on the changing concepts of history and future in the debates of German social democracy, which were at times drafted with a close orientation to natural history evolution. In this volume, these evolutionist semantics are examined from a conceptual-historical perspective.
Type IIB Solutions with Interpolating Supersymmetries

description: We study type IIB supergravity solutions with four supersymmetries that interpolate between two types widely considered in the literature: the dual of Becker and Becker's compactifications of M-theory to 3 dimensions and the dual of Strominger's torsion compactifications of heterotic theory to 4 dimensions. We find that for all intermediate solutions the internal manifold is not Calabi-Yau, but has SU(3) holonomy in a connection with a torsion given by the 3-form flux. All 3-form and 5-form fluxes, as well as the dilaton, depend on one function appearing in the supersymmetry spinor, which satisfies a nonlinear differential equation. We check that the fields corresponding to a flat bound state of D3/D5-branes lie in our class of solutions. The relations among supergravity fields that we derive should be useful in studying new gravity duals of gauge theories, as well as possibly compactifications.

description: The photo-induced $K^*$ vector meson production is investigated for the study of the $Λ(1405)$ resonance. This reaction is particularly suited to the isolation of the second pole in the $Λ(1405)$ region which couples dominantly to the $\bar K N$ channel. We obtain the mass distribution of the $Λ(1405)$ which peaks at 1420 MeV, and differs from the nominal one. Combined with several other reactions, like the $π^- p \to K^0 πΣ$ which favours the first pole, this detailed study will reveal a novel structure of the $Λ(1405)$ state.

description: We present a game theoretic model to explain why people form life long monogamous families. Three components are essential in our framework, paternal investment, fatherhood uncertainty, and, perhaps the most distinctive feature of all, the overlap of children of different ages. When all three conditions are present, monogamy is the most efficient form of sexual organization in the sense that it yields greater survivorship than serial monogamy, group marriage, and polygyny. Monogamy is also the only configuration that fosters altruistic ties among siblings. Finally, our result sheds light to the understanding of why most religions center around the monogamous fidelity family.
