description: The Australian Government‘s proposal to put a price on carbon is likely to have a significant impact on the price of farm inputs (diesel, fertiliser, water and electricity). Furthermore, offsets (reduction or removal of greenhouse gas emissions that counterbalances emissions elsewhere in the economy) are a potential area of expansion of interest to the agricultural sector. Agrichar is one of the new technologies and farming practices being investigated to counteract carbon-price-imposed costs. Its two claimed benefits, which relate both to the profitability of sugarcane growers as well as to climate change, are the reduction in fertiliser application and the carbon which agrichar can store in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This study drew on the Farm Economics Analysis Tool (FEAT) developed by the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries specifically for the sugarcane industry. An analysis was conducted for a typical sugarcane farming enterprise in the Herbert region of north Queensland. The scenarios included in the analysis recognised the change in input prices as a price is put on carbon, the change in farm practices when agrichar is included in operations and the potential to trade in offsets from that additional carbon stored by the use of agrichar. The sugarcane grower was found to benefit from the inclusion of agrichar into the operations. Agrichar is seen as a potential and viable option for sugarcane growers and should be considered as an alternative under the emissions trading scheme to minimise the impact of the rise in input costs. Further scientific and policy development could result in the possibility for stored carbon to be traded in the offsets market, providing additional, although minor, cash flow to the grower.
Explaining the Gamma-Ray Burst E_peak Distribution
Creators: name: Schaefer, Bradley E.

description: The characteristic photon energy for Gamma Ray Bursts, E_peak, has a remarkably narrow distribution for bursts of similar peak flux, with values between 150 and 600 keV for most faint bursts. This result is surprising within the framework of internal shock models, since spectral shifts associated with the jet's blue shift (by a Lorentz factor of Gamma) and the cosmological red shift (by a factor of 1+z) should cause substantial smearing in the distribution of the spectral peak in the jet's co-moving frame, E_rest. For the general case where the luminosity (L) varies as Gamma^N and E_rest varies as Gamma^M, then the observed E_peak will vary as L^{(M+1)/N}(1+z)^{-1}. For two independent set of 20 and 84 bursts, E_peak(1+z) varies as a power law of the luminosity with an index of (M+1)/N=0.36+-0.03. With this measured value, the above functional dependence of E_peak on L and z results in E_peak being roughly constant for bursts of similar peak flux, P_256. Thus, the kinematic smearing will be small, hence allowing the E_peak distribution to be narrow. This model also predicts that bright bursts will have high E_peak values because they all have some combination of high luminosity (and hence a large blue shift Gamma) and a nearby distance (and hence a small cosmological red shift). Quantitatively, E_peak should vary roughly as P_256^0.36, and this model prediction is strikingly confirmed with BATSE data by Mallozzi et al. A prediction of this model is that GRBs at very high red shift z~10 should all appear with E_peak at ~200 keV. A further prediction of this model is that normal bursts with P_256 below the BATSE trigger threshold will appear as x-ray flashes with E_peak~70 keV; just as is reported by Kippen et al. and Heise et al.

description: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the primary schools of five small villages of Salento Peninsula to evaluate the adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) of 282 6-8-years old children in relation to lifestyles and socio-economic factors. The parents of children completed a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the prevalence of personal, behavioural and socio-economic factors of their sons. Children’s anthropometric measurements were also taken. The adherence to the MD was assessed using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for Children and Adolescents (KIDMED). The chi-square test was used to detect any differences among groups of children. Overall, 27.0% of children showed low adherence to the MD (KIDMED ≤3), 59.6% medium adherence (KIDMED 4–7) and 13.5% high adherence (KIDMED ≥8). The adherence to the MD was associated with the educational level (whether graduated or not) of the mother and the occupational status (whether employed or not) of both parents.

description: The demagnetization curve, or initial magnetization curve, is studied by examining the embedded Barkhausen noise using the non-equilibrium, zero temperature random-field Ising model. The demagnetization curve is found to reflect the critical point seen as the system's disorder is changed. Critical scaling is found for avalanche sizes and the size and number of spanning avalanches. The critical exponents are derived from those related to the saturation loop and subloops. Finally, the behavior in the presence of long range demagnetizing fields is discussed. Results are presented for simulations of up to one million spins.

description: Object pose estimation of transparent objects remains a challenging task in the field of robot vision due to the immense influence of lighting, background, and reflections. However, the edges of clear objects have the highest contrast, which leads to stable and prominent features. We propose a novel approach by incorporating edge detection in a pre-processing step for the tasks of object detection and object pose estimation. We conducted experiments to investigate the effect of edge detectors on transparent objects. We examine the performance of the state-of-the-art 6D object pose estimation pipeline GDR-Net and the object detector YOLOX when applying different edge detectors as pre-processing steps (i.e., Canny edge detection with and without color information, and holistically-nested edges (HED)). We evaluate the physically-based rendered dataset Trans6D-32 K of transparent objects with parameters proposed by the BOP Challenge. Our results indicate that applying edge detection as a pre-processing enhances performance for certain objects.

The prototype case of martensitic transitions has been experimentally investigated by means of acoustic emission techniques. We propose a model based on the mean first-passage time to account for the experimental observations. Our study provides a unified framework to establish the conditions for isothermal and athermal transitions to be observed.

description: We introduce the Scalable ZX-calculus (SZX-calculus for short), a formal and compact graphical language for the design and verification of quantum computations. The SZX-calculus is an extension of the ZX-calculus, a powerful framework that captures graphically the fundamental properties of quantum mechanics through its complete set of rewrite rules. The ZX-calculus is, however, a low level language, with each wire representing a single qubit. This limits its ability to handle large and elaborate quantum evolutions. We extend the ZX-calculus to registers of qubits and allow compact representation of sub-diagrams via binary matrices. We show soundness and completeness of the SZX-calculus and provide two examples of applications, for graph states and error correcting codes.

description: Deforestation continues at a significant rate, especially in developing tropical countries. The process is a consequence of pressures to realise the commercial value of the timber and/or the land, the latter typically for either agriculture or settlement. Forests are integral to a variety of increasingly valuable environmental systems — carbon, water and biodiversity. Measures such as stopping illegal logging, and labelling logs from sustainablymanaged forests, are important palliatives. However, the real need is to develop price signals that reflect the substantial value of environmental services, and to integrate these into the international commodity economy.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the main cause of cancer-related deaths. It’s reported that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) affects tumor development through secreting exosomes. This study aims to investigate the function of BMSCs-derived exosome miR-4461 in CRC. The results of qRT-PCR showed that miR-4461 expression in DLD1, HCT116 and SW480 CRC cells and CRC tissues was lower than that in FHC cells and normal tissues, respectively. And COPB2 mRNA expression was negatively correlated with miR-4461. Western blot was used to detect COPB2 protein expression. Dual-luciferase reporter assay results revealed that miR-4461 targeted COPB2. Transwell assay and CCK-8 assay demonstrated that COPB2 knockdown inhibited HCT116 and SW480 cells proliferation, migration and invasion abilities. Furthermore, BMSCs-derived exosome miR-4461 downregulated COPB2 expression and inhibited HCT116 and SW480 cells migration and invasion. The findings demonstrated that miR-4461 could be a potential target for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.

description: We suggest to augment standard isoelectronic focusing for separation of proteins in a gradient of pH by a similar focusing in the presence of a strongly charged polyelectrolyte (PE). Proteins which have the same isoelectric point but different "hidden" charge of both signs in pI point make complexes with PE, which focus in different pH. This is a result of charge inversion of such proteins by adsorbed PE molecules, which is sensitive to the hidden charge. Hence the hidden charge is a new separation parameter.

description: We investigate dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in vector-like gauge theories in $D$ dimensions with ($D-4$) compactified extra dimensions, based on the gap equation (Schwinger-Dyson equation) and the effective potential for the bulk gauge theories within the improved ladder approximation. The non-local gauge fixing method is adopted so as to keep the ladder approximation consistent with the Ward-Takahashi identities. Using the one-loop $\bar{\rm MS}$ gauge coupling of the truncated KK effective theory which has a nontrivial ultraviolet fixed point (UV-FP) $g_*$ for the (dimensionless) bulk gauge coupling ${\hat g}$, we find that there exists a critical number of flavors, $N_f^{\rm crit}$ ($\simeq 4.2, 1.8$ for $D=6, 8$ for SU(3) gauge theory): For $N_f > N_f^{\rm crit}$, the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking takes place not only in the ``strong-coupling phase'' (${\hat g} >g_*$) but also in the ``weak-coupling phase'' (${\hat g}

description: The thermal properties of bulk copper are investigated by performing ab initio DFT and DFPT calculations and using the quasiharmonic approximation for the free energy. Using both the LDA and the GGA for the exchange-correlation potential, we compute the temperature dependence of the lattice constant, coefficient of thermal expansion, bulk modulus, pressure derivative of the bulk modulus, phonon frequencies, Grueneisen parameters, and the electronic and phonon contributions to the specific heats at constant volume and constant pressure. We obtain answers in closer agreement with experiment than those obtained from more approximate earlier treatments. The LDA/GGA errors in computing anharmonic quantities are significantly smaller than those in harmonic quantities. We argue that this should be a general feature, and also argue that LDA/GGA errors should increase with temperature.

description: Quantum memories are essential for large-scale quantum information networks. Along with high efficiency, storage lifetime and optical bandwidth, it is critical that the memory add negligible noise to the recalled signal. A common source of noise in optical quantum memories is spontaneous four-wave mixing. We develop and implement a technically simple scheme to suppress this noise mechanism by means of quantum interference. Using this scheme with a Raman memory in warm atomic vapour we demonstrate over an order of magnitude improvement in noise performance. Furthermore we demonstrate a method to quantify the remaining noise contributions and present a route to enable further noise suppression. Our scheme opens the way to quantum demonstrations using a broadband memory, significantly advancing the search for scalable quantum photonic networks.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are considered an advantageous alternative to their celebrated two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals akin compound, graphene, for a number of applications, especially those requiring a gapped and possibly tunable band structure. Thermoelectricity is one of the application fields where TMDs could indeed outperform graphene, thanks to their lower thermal conductivity, large effective masses, valley degeneracy, varied and tunable transport properties, as well as sensitivity of their band structures and phonon spectra to confinement. Yet, despite promising theoretical predictions, thermoelectric properties of TMDs have not been extensively investigated so far and a clear assessment of TMDs as viable thermoelectric materials, based on experimental results, is still missing. In this paper, we review the experimental findings of literature on thermoelectric properties of TMDs, to sort out the countless combinations of chemical compositions, doping, off-stoichiometry and sample forms which could potentially result in optimized and possibly competitive thermoelectric properties. Based on the experimental data of literature, we simulate the performance of an all-TMD thermoelectric device for practical application as a micron sized cryocooler or power generator.

description: Vietnam has achieved remarkable economic growth since it liberalised its markets, and further economic growth and opportunities are predicted both within and outside the agriculture sector. However, growth has not been evenly distributed across regions and significant structural adjustment pressures are expected in the medium to long term. A dynamic, eight region, 13 commodity, non-linear programming model of Vietnam’s agricultural sector is used to analyse the likely impact of a change in rural-urban migration on agricultural production, prices, trade and regional incomes.

description: A comprehensive study on compactness has been carried out on the 2dF Galaxy Group Catalogue constructed by Merchán & Zandivarez. The compactness indexes defined in this work take into account different geometrical constraints in order to explore a wide range of possibilities. Our results show that there is no clear distinction between groups with high and low level of compactness when considering particular properties as the radial velocity dispersion, the relative fraction of galaxies per spectral type and luminosity functions of their galaxy members. Studying the trend of the fraction of galaxies per spectral type as a function of the dimensionless crossing time some signs of dynamical evolution are observed. From the comparison with previous works on compactness we realize that special care should be taken into account for some compactness criteria definitions in order to avoid possible biases in the identification.

description: Despite its small area and intensively cropped landscape, East Java accounts for 30% of Indonesia’s beef cattle population. About two million households draw on family labour to raise cattle in backyard sheds and small enclosures, largely for cash income. The paper reports on a study in two contrasting sites – irrigated lowlands and rainfed uplands – to explore the constraints facing cattle producers in these environments and possible means to enhance their production systems and incomes. In particular, the paper focuses on the issue of feed supply and the local market that has emerged for agricultural by-products (rice straw, maize stover, and legume residues) and planted forage grasses. The research shows that intensive cattle production can provide a viable pathway out of poverty, even for resource-poor households.

description: Single crystals of PrNiO3 were grown under an oxygen pressure of 295 bar using a unique high-pressure optical-image floating zone furnace. The crystals, with volume in excess of 1 mm3, were characterized structurally using single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Resistivity, specific heat, and magnetic susceptibility were measured, all of which evidenced an abrupt, first order metal-insulator transition (MIT) at ~130 K, in agreement with previous literature reports on polycrystalline specimens. Temperature-dependent single crystal diffraction was performed to investigate changes through the MIT. Our study demonstrates the opportunity space for high fugacity, reactive environments for single crystal growth specifically of perovskite nickelates but more generally to correlated electron oxides.

 Material examined. Holotype male. COLOMBIA: Risaralda, SFF Otún, Quimbaya Urapanera, 4º44’N.– 76º35’W., 1960 m., Malaise, 2/18/03–3/4/03, G. Lopez leg. M. 3700 (IAHC). Paratypes. 2 males, same data as holotype (UK, MLBM), 3 males, Valle del Cauca, Farallones de Cali Cgto. La Meseta, 3º34’N.– 76º40’W. 1960 m., Malaise, 26/11/2003 – 10/12/2003, S. Sarria and M. Losso leg. (IAHC).
 Etymology. This species is named for the small, curved, apical spine on the aedeagus.
 Remarks. This species is nearest to G. tubercula, sp. nov. in male genitalia characters and can be distinguished by the uniformly narrow aedeagal shaft, smaller and curved aedeagal spine and the longer membranous lobe on the caudal margin of the pygofer.

description: Forests are making major contributions to rural livelihoods in Australia and in many other countries of the Asia-Pacific region. These include direct economic returns from the harvest of both timber and non-timber forest products, and indirect contributions to other economic activity through effects on soil and water quality. Research and development has provided the foundation upon which the forestry successes of Australia and its neighbours have been based, and international collaboration has been a major plank. ACIAR’s collaborative research program has made a significant contribution. A suite of plantation eucalypt projects has contributed to the development of a major industry in southern China, and the skills and experience so acquired have undoubtedly contributed also to the success of Australia’s recent bluegum plantation program. A collaborative approach to evaluating and monitoring pests and diseases of Australian species is contributing to the protection of forests in all countries of the region. Although there have been successes, the contribution that forests make to rural livelihoods is under threat. A new array of challenges must now be met, and it is these that ACIAR’s forestry program seeks to address. Emphases include the better management of native forests, improving the management of plantations, developing and promoting agroforestry systems that integrate tree planting with other agricultural activities, ensuring that industry development is compatible with community capacity and desires and with local and international market expectations, and promoting the equitable distribution of benefits. International collaboration on these issues of common concern is fundamental to the attainment of a shared vision.
Quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ band structures of Mg-IV-N$_2$ compounds: the role of semicore $d$ states

description: We present improved band structure calculations of the Mg-IV-N$_2$ compounds in the quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ approximation. Compared to previous calculations (Phys. Rev. B 94, 125201 (2016)) we here include the effects of the Ge-3$d$ and Sn-4$d$ semicore states and find that these tend to reduce the band gap significantly. This places the band gap of MgSnN$_2$ in the difficult to reach green region of the visible spectrum. The stability of the materials with respect to competing binary compounds is also evaluated and details of the valence band maximum manifold splitting and effective masses are provided.

description: To optimize the nutrient management of upland rice production on tropical ferralsols, a greenhouse experiment was established using the multi-nutrient omission approach. A reciprocal soil origin-rice cultivar transplant experiment was also conducted to better understand the relative contributions of the soil origin and the rice cultivar in rice nutrient limitation. We tested the deficiency of seven major and secondary nutrients [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and silicon (Si)] and a solution of six micronutrients (B, Mn, Cu, Co, Na, Mo) likely to limit the growth of two upland rice cultivars, Chhomrong Dan and Nerica 4, on two Ferralsols from the highlands of Madagascar. We found severe multiple nutrient deficiencies. For both cultivars, P, Ca, N, Mg omission significantly depressed the shoot and root dry biomass and their amounts in plant tissues. However, the main limiting nutrients were not the same in both soils. We conclude that the multinutrient deficiencies observed for rice growth in the Ferralsols are site-specific, even though P limitation appears to be in common, and requires a holistic consideration of the mineral fertility, including micronutrients.

description: We study, by means of three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations, the current-voltage (IV) characteristics and the voltage noise spectrum at low temperatures of driven magnetic flux lines interacting with randomly placed point or columnar defects, as well as with periodically arranged linear pinning centers. Near the depinning current J_c, the voltage noise spectrum S(w) universally follows a 1/w^a power law. For currents J > J_c, distinct peaks appear in S(w) which are considerably more pronounced for extended as compared to point defects, and reflect the spatial distribution of the correlated pinning centers.
