description: The virtual photon theory (VPT), which is based on first-order Coulomb dissociation restricted to the electric dipole ($E1$), has been successfully used to explain the breakup data for several cases. Our aim is to study the role of various higher-order processes that are ignored in the VPT, such as the nuclear breakup, interference between nuclear and Coulomb amplitudes, and multistep breakup processes mainly due to strong continuum-continuum couplings in the breakup of two-body projectiles on a heavy target at both intermediate and higher incident energies. For the purpose of numerical calculations, we employed eikonal version of three-body continuum-discretized coupled-channels (CDCC) reaction model. Our results for the breakup of $^{11}$Be and $^{17}$F on $^{208}$Pb target at 100, 250, and 520 MeV/A, show the importance of nuclear breakup contribution, and its significant role in the multistep processes. The multistep effect on Coulomb breakup for core-neutron projectile was found to be negligible, whereas it was important for core-proton projectile. Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) effect was also found to be non-negligible. Quantitatively, the multistep effects due to the nuclear breakup was found to depend on the incident energy through the energy dependence of the core-target and nucleon-target nuclear potentials. The nuclear breakup component, the CNI effect, and the multistep breakup processes are all found to be non-negligible; hence, the assumptions adopted in the VPT for the accurate description of breakup cross sections are not valid.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Applied Physics (physics.app-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper presents a new topology for photonic crystals to replace the monochromator, introducing them with a new alignment (the so-called extended Trinitron) to guide the chromatic pattern producing a spatial distribution similar to that of conventional diffraction gratings. The spectrophotometer uses a LED white light as light source instead of chambers with halogen lamps and mirrors. The system was designed using actual data from the manufacturer of photonic crystals and the total system response is compared against that one of a conventional spectrophotometer with a LED white light or tungsten bulb as a light source. It is shown that the spectral responses are similar in photonic panels containing more than twenty elements.

title: Mission studies in theological education : a critical analysis of mission training in evangelical Bible colleges and seminaries in Germany and German-speaking Switzerland from 1960 to 1995
Creators: name: Ott, Bernhard
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: This is an inquiry into the development of mission studies in evangelical theological education in Germany and German-speaking Switzerland in the light of the paradigm shifts which have been taking place both in theology of mission and in theological education. In particular, the study analyses the recent history (1960 to 1995) of a group of Bible colleges in German-speaking Europe. It outlines recent developments in this group and identifies its contributions to the wider arena of mission studies and theological education. Based on David Bosch's proposal of an emerging ecumenical paradigm of mission, the study analysest he aforementioneds chools. It demonstratest hat, under the influence of the theologyo f Peter Beyerhausa nd the FrankfurtD eclaration,t hese schoolsd efend conservativep ositionsa s a matter of apologeticsa nd are not developingi n the directiono f Bosch's proposal. The thesis identifies hermeneutics as the key issue in the divergence and reflects upon the consequences of such a position both for the schools as well as for Bosch's proposal. Synthesising recent strands of reflection on theological education, the thesis proposes an emerging new paradigm of theological education, which has the potential of serving as a standard for the analysis of theological education in various contexts. The study itself applies this paradigm to the schools in question and demonstrates that the evangelical Bible school movement has historically embodied many of the features for which the 'new paradigm' calls. On the other hand, the thesis shows evidence that accreditation has jeopardised this heritage, and it calls for a review of accreditation procedures. The analysis also reveals that these schools tend to resist changes in the area of contextual and inductive learning. It is argued that theological conservatism causes the schools to resist changes in areas of epistemological significance. Finally, the study critically reflects upon the schools' pattern of change and change resistance. Through the application of the change theories of Kuhn and Macintyre, hermeneutical and epistemological issues are identified as determining factors in the change-resisting attitude inherited by institutionalised conservatism.

description: The Barbados Sugar Industry has a long history of inter-cropping and rotational-cropping, especially with root crops like sweet potatoes and yams. As recently as 1946, 25% of the acre-months were devoted to non-cane crops on sugar farms. The paper summarizes interesting aspects of this experience. Special attention is paid to mechanisation on the non-cane crops in the context of cane farm technology, mainly in Barbados.

description: Diese Arbeit beleuchtet die Möglichkeit Effektivität und Effizienz als Messgrössen für das sonderpädagogische Angebot der Kantone zu verwenden. Ausgehend vom aktuellen Stand in der internationalen Forschung werden Modelle und Kriterien zur Berechnung von Effektivität und Effizienz bestimmt. Diese bilden die Grundlage um aktuelle Bildungsdaten zu untersuchen, welche das Bundesamt für Statistik jährlich erhebt und in den Bildungsstatistiken veröffentlicht. Dabei steht die Frage im Zentrum: Lassen sich aus den Bildungsdaten Aussagen über die Effektivität und Effizienz der Organisation sonderpädagogischer Angebote machen? Exemplarisch werden die Daten des Kantons Zug untersucht und in den Kontext des zugerischen Schulsystems gestellt. Das Resultat dieser Untersuchung bedeutet, dass diese Frage sowohl für die Effektivität als auch die Effizienz mit einem klaren Nein beantwortet werden muss. Dies führt im Anschluss daran zur Frage: Welche Empfehlungen können abgeleitet werden, um bessere statistische Grundlagen zur Evaluation der Effektivität und Effizienz bei der Organisation sonderpädagogischer Angebote zu erhalten? Die Autorin kommt zum Schluss, dass alleine mit der Erhebung der fehlenden Daten die Auswertung von Effektivität und Effizienz nicht ermöglicht werden. Mindestens genauso wichtig ist eine klare Zielsetzung bei einer solchen Untersuchung, eine darauf ausgerichtete Modellierung von Effektivität und Effizienz und die Operationalisierung der Bildungsziele.

description: The response of a gravitating object to an external tidal field is encoded in its Love numbers, which identically vanish for classical blackholes (BHs). Here we show, using standard time-independent quantum perturbation theory, that for a quantum BH, generically, the Love numbers are nonvanishing and negative, and that their magnitude depends on the lowest lying levels of the quantum spectrum of the BH. We calculate the quadrupolar electric quantum Love number of nonrotating BHs and show that it depends most strongly on the first excited level of the quantum BH. We then compare our results to the same Love number of exotic ultra compact objects and to that of classical compact stars and highlight their different parametric dependence. Finally, we discuss the detectability of the quadrupolar quantum Love number in future precision gravitational-wave observations and show that, under favourable circumstances, its magnitude is large enough to imprint an observable signature on the gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral phase of two moderately spinning BHs.

description: Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L), Millisp.) were timely intercropped with yam (Dioscorea rotundata, Poir) to evaluate these cropping systems as potential substitute for traditional hand made structures for yam vines support. Yam grown with 'vines crept-up on cassava plants yielded 36,054 kg/ha of tubers; when vines were supported by fence-trellises the production was 37,171 kg/ha. Yield of yam grown with the vines entangled on pigeon pea plants was drastically reduced to 29,452 tog/ha. Total yield from the yam/cassava intercropping was 50,880 kg/ha during a planting to harvest cycle that lasted 10 months for yam and 18 months for cassava. This combined yield was 37% higher than yam grown as a monoculture with vines supported ty fence-trellises.

description: In recent years, farmers in Jamaica have experienced difficulties in obtaining seed potatoes in time, which resulted in lose of yields and production. At the same time, there is a growing interest in the introduction of new varieties. Tissue culture techniques for rapid propagation and for the introduction of new varieties as well as germplasm conservation could provide answers for some of these problems. Twenty-one varieties which include the locally grown commercial ones like Desiree, Spunta, Kenebec and some promising new varieties like L.T. 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9 and Atlantic, etc. have been subjected to various techniques including single node cuttings, multinode cuttings, liquid media, solid media, liquid cultures without shaking, in vitro tuber production and culture at low temperature. Plantlets obtained through tissue culture have been successfully introduced into the field with good yields of seed tubers and mother plants for vegetative propagation.

description: Horticultural exports from developing countries are expanding. While concerns are rising about the consequences of this growth for local food security, there is no empirical evidence that directly measures this impact. We provide such evidence for Senegal, one of the African countries with a sharp growth in horticultural exports. Using secondary data and panel survey data, we analyse the link between horticultural exports and the availability, access, utilization and stability components of food security. Results suggest that horticultural exports contribute to the capacity to import food, and do not jeopardize availability of food at the macroeconomic level. At the micro-economic level, we find that female wage employment in the horticultural export sector reduces the probability of food insecurity, improves the quality of food consumption, and shortens the hunger season.

description: Despite their astrophysical relevance, nuclear pasta phases are relatively unstudied at high temperatures. We present molecular dynamics simulations of symmetric nuclear matter with several topologies of `lasagna' at a range of temperatures to study the pasta-uniform transition. Using the Minkowski functionals we quantify trends in the occupied volume, surface area, mean breadth, and Euler characteristic. The amplitude of surface displacements of the pasta increase with temperature which produce short lived topological defects such as holes and filaments near melting, resulting in power laws for increasing surface curvature with temperature. We calculate the static structure factor and report the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of pasta, finding that the shear viscosity is minimized at the melting temperature. These results may have implications for the thermoelastic properties of nuclear pasta and finite temperature corrections to the equation of state at pasta densities.

description: The objective of this paper is to develop an effective quantitative method to assess the sustainability of Italian beef cattle rearing while avoiding the complexities connected to greenhouse gases estimation. A methodology based on Principal Component Analysis is utilized to calculate a set of environmental pressure indices using data taken from the FADN database. Results are presented for the single stages of production and methodologies utilized, highlighting significant differences among them that are also confirmed by the available literature in the field. Finally, a ranking of different supply chains casts some doubts on the sustainability of the typical Italian production scheme.

description: We study theoretically the surface response of a semi-infinite viscoelastic polymer network using the two-fluid model. We focus on the overdamped limit and on the effect of the network's intrinsic length scales. We calculate the decay rate of slow surface fluctuations, and the surface displacement in response to a localized force. Deviations from the large-scale continuum response are found at length scales much larger than the network's mesh size. We discuss implications for surface scattering and microrheology. We provide closed-form expressions that can be used for surface microrheology -- the extraction of viscoelastic moduli and intrinsic length scales from the motions of tracer particles lying on the surface without doping the bulk material.

Nach der Diskussion der maßgebenden Kriterien werden neun morphogenetische Einheiten ausgeschieden und ihr Flächenanteil ausgemessen: Rumpfflächenreste mit C1-Horizont-Stümpfen einer warmzeitlichen, wahrscheinlich tertiären Bodenbildung, Flußterrassensockel aus der Zeit nach dem Hochstand der Elster-Kaltzeit bis zur Überdeckung durch das Drenthe-Eis der Saalekaltzeit, Exarationsflächen (des Drenthe-Eises mit nur schwacher Tiefenwirkung), weiter Flußterrassensockel aus der Zeit nach dem Zerfall des Drenthe-Eises bis zur Gegenwart. Die tiefsten Stellen der Quartärbasis fallen in schmale Rinnen, die in Anlehnung an Eisspalten des zerfallenden Drenthe-Eises durch Schmelzwässer erodiert wurden.

description: Auf der kleinen Atlantik-Insel Porto Santo (Madeira-Archipel) bedecken ausgedehnte quartäre Ablagerungen vielfach den tertiären, meist vulkanischen Sockel. Äolinite, d. h. Dünenbildungen aus z. T. regelmäßig schräggeschichteten marin-bioklastischen Kalkareniten, werden bis 50 m mächtig; sie führen (ebenso wie andere quartäre Ablagerungen) Landschnecken (Fossil-Liste, V). Als Ausblasungsgebiet ist der weit ausgedehnte Schelf zu betrachten, der in den Glazialen trockenlag. Die Äolinite sind also kaltzeitlich und ergaben entsprechende C14-Alter (21.570 und 13.480 B. P., jüngeres Würm). Auf die andersartige neuere Deutung der Bermudas-Äolinite durch Bretz u. a. wird kurz eingegangen. Die Äolinite sind durch autochthone und allochthone Böden (Braunlehme, rötliche Kalksandböden) in drei Abschnitte geteilt. Im Liegenden finden sich ebenfalls Braunlehme. Kolluvium, d. h. geringfügig verfrachtetes Schuttmaterial, tritt als Gehängeschutt und als Ausfüllung flacher Depressionen auf. Es führt gleichfalls Landschnecken und ist z. T. mit den Äoliniten verzahnt, d. h. gleichfalls kaltzeitlich. Nur eine Strandterrasse ist nachzuweisen. Sie ist als Brandungskonglomerat ausgebildet, führt eine marine Fauna und liegt 0—3 m über NN; C14-Alter: ≥ 40.000 a. Vielleicht gehört sie ins Tyrrhen III (Letztes Interglazial). — Zwei Talgenerationen sind vorhanden. Die stratigraphische Eingliederung der flachen alten Täler ist nicht möglich, die junge Zerschluchtung ist nicht älter als Würm. Die Steilküste ist jung und durch Brandungserosion geformt. An der N-Küste könnte die rückschreitende Erosion maximal 12 cm/a betragen. Das Klima der Glazialzeiten (mit Äolinit- und Kolluvialbildungen) war kühler als heute und vermutlich relativ trocken — also nicht pluvial; die Winde wehten aus mehr westlicher Richtung als heute. Eine genauere stratigraphische Einordnung des Quartärs ist nur z.T. möglich: die obersten Äolinite und ein Teil des Kolluviums sind jüngeres Wurm. Die tieferen Äolinite können älteres Wurm oder Prä-Würm sein.

description: This study combines block-recursive restrictions with higher-order moment conditions to identify and estimate non-Gaussian structural vector autoregressions. The estimator allows to impose a block-recursive structure on the SVAR and for a given block-recursive structure we derive a conservative set of assumptions on the dependence and Gaussianity of the shocks to ensure identification. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to illustrate the advantages of the proposed blockrecursive estimator compared to unrestricted, purely data driven estimators in small samples. The block-recursive estimator is used to analyze the interdependence of monetary policy and the stock market. We find that a positive stock market shock contemporaneously increases the nominal interest rate, while contractionary monetary policy shocks lead to lower stock returns on impact.

Die Aussagekraft vorzeitlicher Bodenbildungen als Klima- und Zeitindices
Creators: name: Seuffert, Otmar
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1967

description: Die Aussagekraft von Fossil- und Reliktböden als Indikatoren vorzeitlicher Klimate oder Zeiteinheiten ist sehr unterschiedlich. Sie wird als recht ansehnlich erachtet bei der Erfassung früherer Klimate, von denen häufig der allgemeine Typus und teilweise auch das ungefähre Temperatur- und Niederschlagsvolumen ermittelt werden können. Dagegen bleiben zuverlässige Angaben über die Bildungsdauer fossiler Böden weitgehend auf Relativwerte beschränkt, die zudem nur unter sehr günstigen Voraussetzungen überhaupt erstellbar sind. Absolute Zeitabschätzungen sind stets grobe Näherungswerte. Diese Ergebnisse sind jedoch nur dann von Wert, wenn der Entwicklungsstand der in Frage stehenden Vorzeitböden zuverlässig festgelegt werden kann, denn über alle Gegebenheiten hinaus, die das Maß der Aussagen beeinflussen, gilt der Grundsatz, daß Vorzeitklimate nur aus Klimaxböden erschlossen werden können, während umgekehrt eine Abschätzung der Bildungsdauer allein aus unreifen Böden möglich ist.

description: Die Altmoräne des Rheingletschergebiets östlich von Biberach kann folgendermaßen gegliedert werden (von außen nach innen): Mindelmoräne (M), sehr flache, mehr als 4 m tief verwitterte Moränenwälle. Älteres Riß (= Zungenriß, Rz), Kiese, Kiesmoräne und Geschiebemergeldecken mit geringer Verwitterungstiefe (< 3 m), die zungenformig in die meist höher liegenden Mindelmoränen vorstoßen. Trennung von M und Rz durch fossile Böden. Mittleres Riß (= Doppelwall-Riß, Rd). Zwei deutliche, kiesige Endmoränenwälle mit geringer Verwitterung. Die Moränen von Rz und Rd sind im Rißtal mit den mächtigen Kiesen der Typlokalität Riß zu verknüpfen. Jüngeres Riß (nicht näher untersucht). „Jungriß"-Terrasse im Riß- und Donautal und vielleicht dazugehörende Moränenwälle 4 bis 6 km innerhalb von Rd. Die unterschiedliche Verwitterungstiefe zwischen Mindel- und Rißmoränen wurde durch Bohrungen auf allseitig abfallenden Kuppen ermittelt. Geröllanalysen und fossile Böden unterstützen die Gliederung.

Gesetzmäßigkeiten im Feinaufbau von Talrandlößen mit Bemerkungen über die Entstehung des Lößes
Creators: name: Schönhals, Ernst
Publisher: name: Geozon Science Media
Year: 1953

description: In der Nachbarschaft von Flüssen und größeren Bächen nimmt der Löß sehr häufig eine sandige Beschaffenheit an, in vielen Gebieten ist sogar die Sandkomponente in Form von verschieden starken Schichten (Sandbänder) eingeschaltet. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich in der Hauptsache mit der Lagerung der Sandbänder im vertikalen Profil und mit den Veränderungen in horizontaler Richtung. Auf Grund der allgemeinen Ausbildung und der Körnungsunterschiede des Lößes konnten westlich Königgrätz 4 Faziesbereiche unterschieden werden und zwar die Flugsand-, Bänder-, Übergangs- und Normalfazies. Die 4 Fazieszonen folgen von O nach W aufeinander. Die speziellen Untersuchungen an den Sandbändern führten zu folgenden Ergebnissen: 1. Die Abnahme des prozentualen Anteils der Gesamtmächtigkeit der Sandbänder am Löß erfolgt linear mit dem Logarithmus der Entfernung vom Auswehungsgebiet. 2. Die durchschnittliche Anzahl der Sandbänder je Meter Löß ändert sich mit der Zunahme der Entfernung vom Ursprungsgebiet, wie im einzelnen aus Abb. 10 hervorgeht. 3. Neben der Gesamtmächtigkeit und der Anzahl der Sandbänder wurde auch die Häufigkeit der verschiedenen Mächtigkeitsstufen ermittelt und graphisch aufgetragen (Abb. 11). Dabei ergab sich, daß in unmittelbarer Nähe des Auswehungsgebietes neben wenigen 9 und 10 cm mächtigen Bändern die 2 und 2,5 cm starken überwiegen. In einer Entfernung von etwa 300 m vom Flußufer dominieren die 1 und 1,5 cm starken. Weiter nach W nehmen aber nach und nach die dickeren Lagen wieder zu, so daß am Ende der Sandbänderfazies die 2 und 2,5 cm starken die häufigsten sind. Aus den mitgeteilten Ergebnissen und aus zahlreichen Körnungsanalysen wird geschlossen, daß sowohl die eingelagerten Sandschichten als auch der gößte Teil des Lößes äolischen Ursprungs sind. Sandlagen und Löß wurden durch östliche Winde aus dem breiten Tal der Elbe ausgeweht und auf die benachbarten Höhen transportiert. Dabei gelangte der in Form von Bändern abgelagerte Sand bis zu einer Entfernung von ca. 700 m. Die Kornfeinheit des Lößes nimmt nach W hin immer mehr zu. Weitere Beobachtungen an dem Bystrice- und Cidlina-Tal im W des Untersuchungsgebietes bestätigen die Annahme von der Auswehung des Lößes und der Sandschichten aus den Tälern durch Winde aus östlicher Richtung. Daß die allgemeine Lößverbreitung auch von der Breite der Täler abhängig ist, zeigt ein Blick auf die Karte (Abb. 1).

description: We study the lead rhenium oxide PbRe2O6 as a candidate spin-orbit-coupled metal (SOCM), which has attracted much attention as a testing ground for studying unconventional Fermi liquid instability associated with a large spin-orbit interaction. The compound comprises a stack of modulated honeycomb lattices made of Re5+ (5d2) ions in a centrosymmetric R-3m structure at room temperature. Resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements using single crystals reveal two successive first-order phase transitions at Ts1 = 265 K and Ts2 = 123 K. At Ts1, the magnetic susceptibility is enormously reduced and a structural transition to a monoclinic structure takes place, while relatively small changes are observed at Ts2. Surprisingly, PbRe2O6 bears a close resemblance to another SOCM candidate Cd2Re2O7 despite crucial differences in the crystal structure and probably in the electronic structure, suggesting that PbRe2O6 is an SOCM.

description: This study aims at axamining the factors that influence retrieval. We examined the effect of decay and interference, in addition to problems in transferring information from short term to long term memory. Levels of processing approach of storage and retrieval was presented. This research analysed also the interaction between encoding and retrieval (changes in verbal and physical context, dependance of retrieval to state and mood, and modifications in mental and physical operations). Finaly we presented models of retrieval; like exhaustive serial scanning model and two-processes model.

description: In this paper, a network-based stochastic information propagation model is developed. The information flow is modeled by a probabilistic differential equation system. The numerical solution of these equations leads to the expected number of informed nodes as a function of time and reveals the relationship between the degrees of the nodes and their reception time. The validity of the model is justified by Monte Carlo network simulation through the analysis of information propagation in scale-free and Erdos-Renyi networks. It has been found that the developed model provides more accurate results compared to the widely used network-based SI mean-field model, especially in sparse networks.

description: Double-stranded RNAs consisting of 21-nucleotide passenger and guide strands, known as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), can be used for the identification of gene functions and the regulation of genes involved in disease for therapeutics. The difficulty with unmodified siRNAs lies in the chemical synthesis of RNA, its degradation by RNase, the immune response derived from natural RNA, and the off-target effects mediated by the passenger strand. In this study, asymmetrical 18 base-paired double-strand oligonucleotides comprised of alternately combined DNAs and 2′-O-methyl RNAs, denoted as MED-siRNA, were evaluated. These modified oligonucleotides showed high RNase resistance, a reduced immune response, a highly efficient cleavage of target mRNA with binding to Argonaute 2 (Ago2) via RNA interference, and the subsequent reduction of target protein expression. These findings suggest the possibility of alternatives to unmodified siRNAs with potential use in therapeutics.
Concentration of the agricultural production in the EU: the two sides of a coin

description: Over the last decades, the number of farms has been decreasing and their size increasing all over the European Union. This paper aims at studying the development of agricultural production concentration across EU Member States over the 2004-2013 period. Using an adapted version of the Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI), it shows that a variety of situations exists across Europe as regards the distribution of commercial farm sizes measured in Euros of standard output. Results document how the overall tendency to concentration may originate either from the reduction in farm numbers, or from farm sizes becoming more unequal, or both.

description: Atomic hydrogen loss at the top of HD 209458b's atmosphere has been recently detected Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003. We have developed a 1-dimensional model to study the chemistry in the upper atmosphere of this extrasolar "hot jupiter". The 3 most abundant elements (other than He), as well as 4 parent molecules are included in this model, viz., H, C, O, H2, CO, H2O, and CH4. The higher temperatures (~ 1000 K) and higher stellar irradiance (~6x10^5 W m^{-2}) strongly enhance and modify the chemical reaction rates in this atmosphere. Our two main results are that (a) the production of atomic hydrogen in the atmosphere is mainly driven by H2O photolysis and reaction of OH with H2, and is not sensitive to the exact abundances of CO, H2O, and CH4, and (b) H2O and CH4 can be produced via the photolysis of CO followed by the reactions with H2.
