Industrialization: Transforming the Farm and Food Industry
Creators: name: Givan, William
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1995
Subjects: Industrial Organization

description: An increase in farm size plus vertical integration of several food industries stand on the verge of changing the structure of agriculture. This potential is greatest in more developed countries. The broiler industry was the first to be vertically integrated. This has been followed by many of the specialty crops and is currently spreading to livestock. As consumer demand for food in many countries is limited to a slow population growth, food processors are establishing market position by introducing a stream of new and specialized products. They compete by competitive pricing, which is achieved by controlling the entire production process from the farm to the consumer. These firms and the fast food industry put foods on the market that are tasty, quality consistent, and price competitive. They add value to basic farm commodities which in many instances provides more profit than that made from commodity production.

description: Planet-forming disks are not isolated systems. Their interaction with the surrounding medium affects their mass budget and chemical content. In the context of the ALMA-DOT program, we obtained high-resolution maps of assorted lines from six disks that are still partly embedded in their natal envelope. In this work, we examine the SO and SO$_2$ emission that is detected from four sources: DG Tau, HL Tau, IRAS 04302+2247, and T Tau. The comparison with CO, HCO$^+$, and CS maps reveals that the SO and SO$_2$ emission originates at the intersection between extended streamers and the planet-forming disk. Two targets, DG Tau and HL Tau, offers clear cases of inflowing material inducing an accretion shock on the disk material. The measured rotational temperatures and radial velocities are consistent with this view. In contrast to younger Class 0 sources, these shocks are confined to the specific disk region impacted by the streamer. In HL Tau, the known accreting streamer induces a shock in the disk outskirt, and the released SO and SO$_2$ molecules spiral toward the star in a few hundreds years. These results suggest that shocks induced by late accreting material may be common in the disks of young star-forming regions with possible consequences on the chemical composition and mass content of the disk. They also highlight the importance of SO and SO$_2$ line observations to probe accretion shocks from a larger sample.

description: The main objective of this paper is to highlight some of the changes that have occurred in South Africa since the 1980s and to show their impact on the profile of the farming population and on farm management training and extension.
Main conclusions:
1. The change in government and the enormous hunger for land had a dramatic influence on the South African agricultural sector and is of such a nature that major adaptations must be made to farm management training and extension.
2. The beginner farmer will become very important and farm management training and extension must be made available to all levels of farmers in order to ensure sustainable agriculture for the country as a whole in the long run.
3. The University of the Orange Free State with its Centre for Agricultural Management is well geared to train farm management advisers. At present course material is being adapted to cater among other for the needs of advisers to beginner farmers.

description: We present an algorithmic framework for a variant of the quantum Monte Carlo operator-loop algorithm, where non-local cluster updates are constructed in a way that makes each individual loop smaller. The algorithm is designed to increase simulation efficiency in cases where conventional loops become very large, do not close altogether, or otherwise behave poorly. We demonstrate and characterize some aspects of the short-loop on a square lattice spin-1/2 XXZ model where, remarkably, a significant increase in simulation efficiency is observed in some parameter regimes. The simplicity of the model provides a prototype for the use of short-loops on more complicated quantum systems.

description: Nickel (Ni) is an economically important metal characterized by its mechanical strength and anticorrosion properties. With the increasing industrial demand for Ni and the depleting accessible Ni primary ores, sustainable technologies are required for the recovery of this metal from alternative resources. In this study, adsorption using chitosan was investigated as a sustainable technique to recover Ni from sulfate (SO42-) and calcium (Ca) rich secondary resources. The effects of pH, contact time, and the presence of SO42- and Ca on Ni adsorption were investigated in batch experiments. Chemical speciation modeling was performed to analyze how the predominant Ni species present under different conditions may affect the efficiency of the adsorption process. The comparison of the maximum Ni adsorption capacities of chitosan in the absence (1.00 mmol/g) and presence (1.49 mmol/g) of 500 mM SO42- and 10 mM Ca indicated the positive effect of these ions on Ni adsorption. The predominance of the neutrally charged (NiSO4)0 species in Ni/SO42- system has contributed to the enhanced Ni adsorption on chitosan as verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. However, kinetic studies confirmed that the Ni adsorption rate decreased by 4.5 times when SO42- was present. The subsequent continuous Ni adsorption from a real SO42-rich leachate in a column setup revealed that chitosan is selective for Ni over Ca and Cr with selectivity quotients of 9.6 (K Ni/Ca) and 3.0 (K Ni/Cr). Overall, this study indicated that Ni complexation with SO42- enhances the Ni adsorption capacity of chitosan, but slows down the adsorption process.

Behördliche Routinen der Stigmatisierung von Frauen als 'Asoziale'

Publisher: name: Forum Verlag Godesberg
Year: 2020

description: Der Beitrag widmet sich der Konstruktion der ‚asozialen Frau‘ durch die nationalsozialistischen Behörden und der darauf aufbauenden Verfolgung. Deren Intention, Ablauf und Auswirkungen wird am Beispiel Wien dargestellt. Da es bis Kriegsende keine gesetzlich verbindliche Definition von ‚gemeinschaftsfremd‘ bzw. ‚asozial‘ gab, war der Ermessensspielraum der Behördenhoch. Im Mittelpunkt steht daher der „Apparat“ im Sinne eines „Macht-Wissen-Komplexes“ (Terkessidis in Anlehnung an Foucault), der für die Implementierung geschaffen wurde, wie etwa die Einrichtung von ‚Asozialenkommissionen‘ und die damit verordnete Zusammenarbeit verschiedener staatlicher Einrichtungen (Verwaltung, Gesundheits- und Arbeitsamt, Polizei, Justiz) unter der Ägide der NSDAP. Dabei wird insbesondere den geschlechtsspezifischen Aspekten in der Konstruktion von ‚Asozialität‘ und der administrativen Handhabung nachgegangen. Der gesellschaftspolitische Diskurs über ‚Asozialität‘ war kein Novum des Nationalsozialismus, erfuhr aber unter diesem Regime eine Radikalisierung. Ebenso wenig führte der Zusammenbruch des ‚Dritten Reiches’ und die Wiedererrichtung der demokratischen politischen Ordnung zu einem Ende dieses Diskurses im Nachkriegsösterreich. Die grundlegenden Strukturen und Denkweisen in der Verwaltung, also das „Wissen“ des „Apparates“, blieben weitgehend gleich. Diese Kontinuitäten der Stigmatisierung werden anhand von Entschädigungsverfahren, wie sie ehemals Verfolgte auf Grundlage des „Opferfürsorgegesetzes“ anstrebten, herausgearbeitet.

Organic peroxides

description: In August of 2017, Hurricane Harvey brought destruction to southeast Texas. With the hurricane came extremely high water levels that the Crosby plant was not prepared for. In addition to underestimating the floodwaters, Arkema had not anticipated a total power outage at the plant. The Crosby plant housed thousands of pounds of organic peroxides, a chemical that is highly reactive and instable at temperatures above freezing. As water surrounded the emergency refrigeration trailers where organic peroxides had been moved to, temperatures inside the trailers increased and the peroxides began to self-heat, decompose, and combust. The combustion of three trailers caused an explosion whose effects are still felt in the Crosby community. The purpose of this report is to examine the decisions made by Arkema Chemical, using the AIChE code of ethics. Their decisions in preparation for Hurricane Harvey, during the hurricane and explosion, and after the explosion will be analyzed. Arkema acted unethically by not having the right preparations for Hurricane Harvey and not dealing with any after- effects on the community. If Arkema had reexamined their safety protocols after receiving ten OSHA violations, the result may have been different. Although Arkema employees acted ethically during their emergency response to Hurricane Harvey, they neither prepared sufficiently for intense flooding nor responded adequately to the after- effects on the community. Today, the Crosby plant is still running, but the explosion has not only made Arkema review their plans for natural disasters and general safety, but has made the entire chemical industry more aware of the need to be prepared for disasters no matter how improbable they may seem.

description: Discriminant analysis of information sources used on 199 commercial farms in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, showed that various sources of information were rated differently by farmers depending on region and farm size. Information specific to certain enterprises was rated highly by farmers from regions in which these enterprises occurred while large farmers were found to rate specialized information sources more highly than small farmers. These results have important implications for the provision of information for South African agriculture.

description: Here we present a detailed analysis of solar acoustic mode frequencies and their rotational splittings for modes with degree up to 900. They were obtained by applying spherical harmonic decomposition to full-disk solar images observed by the Michelson Doppler Imager onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft. Global helioseismology analysis of high-degree modes is complicated by the fact that the individual modes cannot be isolated, which has limited so far the use of high-degree data for structure inversion of the near-surface layers (r > 0.97 R). In this work, we took great care to recover the actual mode characteristics using a physically motivated model which included a complete leakage matrix. We included in our analysis the following instrumental characteristics: the correct instantaneous image scale, the radial and non-radial image distortions, the effective position angle of the solar rotation axis and a correction to the Carrington elements. We also present variations of the mode frequencies caused by the solar activity cycle. We have analyzed seven observational periods from 1999 to 2005 and correlated their frequency shift with four different solar indices. The frequency shift scaled by the relative mode inertia is a function of frequency alone and follows a simple power law, where the exponent obtained for the p modes is twice the value obtained for the f modes. The different solar indices present the same result.

description: Load-Balancers play an important role in data centers as they distribute network flows across application servers and guarantee per-connection consistency. It is hard however to make fair load balancing decisions so that all resources are efficiently occupied yet not overloaded. Tracking connection states allows to infer server load states and make informed decisions, but at the cost of additional memory space consumption. This makes it hard to implement on programmable hardware, which has constrained memory but offers line-rate performance. This paper presents Charon, a stateless load-aware load balancer that has line-rate performance implemented in P4-NetFPGA. Charon passively collects load states from application servers and employs the power-of-2-choices scheme to make data-driven load balancing decisions and improve resource utilization. Perconnection consistency is preserved statelessly by encoding server ID in a covert channel. The prototype design and implementation details are described in this paper. Simulation results show performance gains in terms of load distribution fairness, quality of service, throughput and processing latency.
The Cost of Producing Wheat in Five Regions of North America and Europe
Creators: name: Brown, William
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1995
Subjects: Farm Management

description: The paper compiles the on-farm costs associated with producing a tonne of wheat for each year between 1970 and 1989 for five wheat growing regions, namely; the brown soil zone of Saskatchewan, Canada, northwestern North Dakota, U.S.A., East Anglia of England, the Borde region south east of Hannover, Germany, and the Paris Basin of France. The costs include direct cash costs and allocated costs. The only costs not included are an allowance for the operator’s management and risk taking. The costs have also been adjusted for inflation in the originating country and converted to Canadian dollars. The results indicate that over the twenty years between 1970 and 1989 the lowest cost wheat producing regions have shifted from Saskatchewan and North Dakota to East Anglia and the Paris Basin primarily due to increasing European yields and decreasing yields in Saskatchewan and North Dakota.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: The main topics of this paper, were how the producers regard higher direct payments, cmd what kind of adjustments they plan to do compared to the current situation with higher prices and lower direct payments. A questionnaire among grain producers revealed that a great majority of them (72,6 %) preferred income through price rather than from acreage support. Producers with yield less than 3.500 kg per hectare, prefeired a system with high acreage support. Adjustment to lower prices will mainly occur by reducing variable costs when a system of high acreage support is implemented. Fertilizing is reduced with 17 kg N per hectare (7.9 per cent) when the grain price is decreased from NOK 1,70 per kg to NOK 1,10 per kg. The famers will attempt to reduce their fixed costs by cooperating with neighbours , buy second-hand machinery and put-off investments.

description: Agriculture in the Western Cape was traditionally practised in a very protected environment. Because of the process of international trade liberalisation, regional internationalisation and the deregulation of South African agriculture, the protection is dwindling rapidly. Through the rapid change in the demand structure for agricultural products, mainly because of population growth and urbanisation, new opportunities come into existence. These new opportunities can be utilised through a different managerial approach by farmers, inter alia by developing niche markets and adding value to their products. Not all products can however be marketed using this approach, and a total new strategy for marketing is needed in which the Western Cape Department of Agriculture can play an important role in conjunction with its role of facilitating the entrepreneurial development of farmers.

description: Berichten des Bundeskriminalamtes zufolge konnten im Jahr 2016 insgesamt 72 Betroffene des Menschenhandels und des grenzüberschreitenden Prostitutionshandels erkannt werden. Fünf Betroffene kamen aus Nigeria, chinesische Betroffene gab es keine. Erlaubt diese sehr niedrige Zahl identifizierter nigerianischer und chinesischer Betroffener – die im Falle der Nigerianerinnen gleichzeitig die höchste Zahl seit 2012 ist – den Schluss, dass bis 2016 der nigerianische und chinesische Menschenhandel kaum eine Rolle gespielt hat? Ein Bericht von IOM aus dem Jahr 2017 vermittelt ein anderes Bild: So schätzt IOM, dass 80 % der nigerianischen Frauen, die in Italien ankommen, von Menschenhandel betroffenen sind. Könnte diese Schätzung auch für Österreich zutreffen? Wie haben sich die Zahlen weiterentwickelt? Könnte es sein, dass ein Großteil der Betroffenen nicht erkannt wird? Und falls ja: Was ist es, das nigerianische und chinesische Betroffene daran hindert, sich als Opfer an die Polizei zu wenden bzw. eine Aussage zu machen? Die Organisation Herzwerk arbeitet seit 12 Jahren in der aufsuchenden Sozialarbeit mit Menschen in der Prostitution und betreut zahlreiche Nigerianerinnen und Chinesinnen, die von sexueller Ausbeutung betroffen sind, aber meist nicht gegen die Täterinnen aussagen. Im EU­ geförderten internationalen Forschungsprojekt „Best Practices in Tackling Trafficking Nigerian Route" (BINls) wurden Betroffene aus Nigeria in den Fokus genommen und unter anderem Faktoren, die oft einer Aussage im Wege stehen, aufgezeigt. Im Rahmen des laufenden EU­ geförderten Projekts „lntersectional Approach to the Process of Integration in Europe for Survivors of Human Trafficking" (lNTAP) kommen nigerianische und chinesische Betroffene selbst zu Wort. Der Beitrag möchte ein Licht auf das Dunkelfeld drittstaatsangehöriger Betroffener des Menschenhandels zur sexuellen Ausbeutung in Österreich werfen.

description: Typical density-functional theory calculations that wrongly predict undoped cuprates to be metallic also predict Cu-O half- and full-breathing phonon energies that are significantly softer than observed, presumably because of weak on-site Coulomb repulsion on the Cu 3d orbitals. We used DFT+U calculations with antiferromagnetic supercells of La$_2$CuO$_4$ to establish correlation between the on-site repulsion strength, tuned via adjusting the value of U, and phonon dispersions. We find that breathing and half-breathing phonons reach experimental values when U is tuned to obtain the correct optical gap and magnetic moments. We demonstrate that using distorted supercells within DFT+U is a promising framework to model phonons in undoped cuprates and other perovskite oxides with complex, interrelated structural and electronic degrees of freedom.

The mediative role of the Labour Relations Board of British Columbia in disputes involving illegal work stoppages
Creators: name: Mathes, Raymond Walter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Labour Code of B.C. embodies a policy to promote collective bargaining by reducing legalism and emphasizing voluntarism and mutual accommodation. The Labour Relations Board's approach to illegal work stoppages supports this policy by encouraging settlements with informal mediation rather than proceeding to a formal hearing and adjudication. The Board's approach is based on understanding labour disputes as symptoms of underlying conflict between parties in a collective bargaining relationship. This is a significant departure from the traditional remedies used by the courts for enforcing statutory provisions concerning illegal work stoppages. The purpose of this thesis was to assess the Board's performance in handling illegal work stoppages. Thirty-one management representatives and twenty-eight union representatives who experienced the Board's approach were interviewed Their perceptions were used to assess the Board's performance The Board's approach is a successful alternative to the courts and supports the intent of the Labour Code. The majority of management representatives indicated, however, that the Board's approach works to the advantage of. unions because it attempts to mediate too often rather than issue an order. They felt unions sometimes manipulate the Board's procedures to obtain concessions during illegal work stoppage Therefore, the Board needs to exercise more discretion as when to mediate and when to convene formal hearings. The Board responds speedily enough to complaints, successfully determines underlying causes in disputes and its mediative role is not impeded by partisanship of Boardmembers.

description: Filaments and clusters of the cosmic web have an impact on the properties of galaxies, switching off their star-formation, contributing to the build-up of their stellar mass, and influencing the acquisition of their angular momentum. In this work we make use of the IllustrisTNG simulation, coupled with the DisPerSE cosmic web extraction algorithm, to test which is the galaxy property most affected by the cosmic web and, conversely, to assess the differential impact of the various cosmic web features on a given galaxy property. Our aim is to use this information to better understand galaxy evolution and to identify on which galaxy property future efforts should focus to detect the cosmic web from the galaxy distribution. We provide a comprehensive analysis of the relation between galaxy properties and cosmic web features. We also perform extensive tests in which we try to disentangle the effect of local overdensities of galaxies on their properties from the effect of the large scale structure environment. Our results show that star-formation is the quantity that shows the strongest variation with the distances from the cosmic web features, but it is also the one that shows the strongest relation to the local environment of galaxies. On the other hand, the direction of the angular momentum of galaxies is the property that shows the weakest trends with distance from cosmic web features, while also being more independent from the local environment of galaxies. We conclude that the direction of the angular momentum of galaxies and its use to improve our detection of the cosmic web features could be the focus of futures studies benefiting from larger statistical samples.

description: Die Überlastung von Strafverfolgungsbehörden hat zur Folge, dass häufig auf umfassende Beweiserhebungen verzichtet wird bzw. werden muss, sodass es auch in sensiblen Verfahren, wie jenen zu Ausbeutungs- oder Menschenhandelsvorwürfen oft "Aussage gegen Aussage" steht. Damit lastet die "faktische Verantwortung" für eine erfolgreiche Strafverfolgung aber auf dem "schwächsten Glied", dem Opfer. Dieses befindet sich nicht nur regelmäßig in einer prekären Lebenssituation, sondern oft auch in einem Abhängigkeitsverhältnis zu dem oder den Tatverdächtigen. Aus diesen Gründen, aber auch aus Angst vor Vergeltungsmaßnahmen durch Täter*innen, kann die Aussagepflicht im Strafverfahren für Opfer eine große Belastung darstellen, vor allem, wenn diese ohnedies schon durch die erlittenen Übergriffe psychisch beeinträchtigt oder gar traumatisiert sind. In diesem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob ein allgemeines Zeugnisverweigerungsrecht für Opfer von Menschenhandel hier Abhilfe schaffen und zugleich mehr Opfer ermutigen könnte, sich Opferhilfeeinrichtungen und Strafverfolgungsbehörden anzuvertrauen. Andererseits wären Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft dann „gezwungen", von vornherein umfassender zu ermitteln, wodurch im Endeffekt die Verurteilungsrate sogar steigen könnte.

Intimbeziehungsgewalt

description: Der Beitrag verortet zunächst das Hate-Crime-Konzept innerhalb des breiteren Phänomenbereichs geschlechtsbezogener Gewalt gegen Frauen. In weiterer Folge erarbeitet er die Konzeptualisierung von Hate Crimes im österreichischen Strafrecht, gibt einen Einblick in die derzeitige Anwendungspraxis der österreichischen Strafverfolgungsbehörden und konzentriert sich sodann auf theoretische Überlegungen zur Anwendung dieser Konzeptualisierung auf Sexualstraftaten und Gewalt in Intimbeziehungen. Die praktische Relevanz des Konzepts wird anhand zweier Case Studies aus der Untersuchung veranschaulicht. Die rechtsdogmatischen Überlegungen zur Interpretation des in § 33 Abs 1 Z 5 StGB umgesetzten Hate-Crime-Konzepts sind darüber hinaus auch für die anderen geschützten Merkmale bzw Opfergruppen von Interesse. Angesprochen werden zwei grundlegende, bisher in der österreichischen Literatur und Rechtsprechung kaum behandelte Auslegungsfragen. Die erste behandelt, welchen Grad an Feindseligkeit bzw „Hass“ der Täter gegenüber dem individuellen Opfer oder der Opfergruppe aufgrund des geschützten Merkmals aufweisen muss, um als Beweggrund strafrechtlich relevant zu sein. Die zweite diskutiert, in welcher „Stärke“ ein Kausalzusammenhang zwischen Beweggrund und Tatbegehung nachzuweisen ist.

description: Slovenian agriculture and its promotion institutions are in intensive process of transition. The actual agricultural policy is in favour of developing the small-scale family owned and managed farms. New established agricultural advisory service is exclusively devoted to the promotion of private small-farm sector. Other parts of the agricultural knowledge system the research, training and education institutions do not seem to be well prepared to support the farmers and advisers. Creation of new Central National Station Jable as a base of new established knowledge system and clear political and juridical decisions about it could accelerate the organisational reform in the agricultural knowledge and promotion system, and could create stronger linkagesand better cooperation between involved institutions.

description: The quest for high-redshift quasars has led to a series of record-breaking sources, with the current record holder at $z=7.642$. Here, we show how future detections of $z>8$ quasars impact the constraints on the parameters for black hole growth and seed models. Using broad flat priors on the growth parameters (Eddington ratio $\,f_{\rm Edd}$, duty cycle ${\cal D}$, seed mass $M_{\rm \bullet, seed}$ and radiative efficiency $ε$), we show that the large uncertainties in their determination decrease by a factor $\sim 5$ when a quasar's detection redshift goes from $z=9$ to $z=12$. In this high-redshift regime, $ε$ tends to the lowest value allowed, and the distribution for $M_{\rm \bullet, seed}$ peaks well inside the heavy seed domain. Remarkably, two quasars detected at $z > 7$ with low accretion rates (J1243+0100 and J0313-1806) already tighten the available parameter space, requiring $M_{\rm \bullet, seed} > 10^{3.5} \,{\rm M_\odot}$ and $ε< 0.1$. The radiative efficiency is a crucial unknown, with factor $\sim 2$ changes able to modify the predicted mass by $\sim 3$ orders of magnitude already at $z\sim 9$. The competing roles of inefficient accretion (decreasing $ε$) and black hole spin-up (increasing $ε$) significantly impact growth models. Finally, we suggest that yields currently predicted by upcoming quasar surveys (e.g., Euclid) will be instrumental for determining the most-likely seed mass regime. For example, assuming thin-disk accretion, a detection of a quasar with $M_\bullet \sim 10^{10} \,{\rm M_\odot}$ by $z\sim 9-10$ would exclude the entire parameter space available for light seeds and dramatically reduce the one for heavy seeds.

description: Dieser Beitrag untersucht spezifische Anforderungen an den Opferschutz für Männer als Betroffene von Menschenhandel und nimmt Bezug auf die Praxis der österreichischen Opferschutzeinrichtung MEN VIA. Es wird auf die Frage eingegangen, welche Maßnahmen und institutionelle Strukturen für einen effektiven Opferschutz erforderlich sind. Zudem werden Ergebnisse aus der kritischen Männerforschung in ihrer Bedeutung für eine gendersensible psychosoziale Arbeit mit gewaltbetroffenen Männern dargestellt und Zusammenhänge zwischen den Rechten von Verbrechensopfern, Empowerment und Bewältigung von widerfahrener Gewalt und Ausbeutung diskutiert. Näher eingegangen wird auf Prozessbegleiung für Betroffene im Strafverfahren. Es wird ein Überblick gegeben, mit welchen psychosozialen Stressfaktoren Betroffene im Zuge des Verfahrens konfrontiert sind, einschließlich der Risiken von Revikitimisierung und Retraumatisierung, und mit welchen Methoden Prozessbegleitung als spezifische Form der Unterstützung hilfreich intervenieren kann.

description: Salvatore Settis's recent book, Incursioni. Contemporary art and tradition (Feltrinelli 2020) intercrosses the boundaries of the history of art, contemporary and beyond, of philology and antiquity, of philology and of the history of the classical tradition, of philology and anthropology. Therefore, Monica Centanni and Giuseppe Pucci invited archaeologists, art historians, philologists, anthropologists and philosophers to compose a choral reading about Settis' work, corresponding to the various solicitations that the book provokes. All scholars who have participated to the collective reading – Anna Anguissola, Maurizio Bettini, Marilena Caciorgna, Maria Luisa Catoni, Monica Centanni, Maria Grazia Ciani, Claudia Cieri Via, Gabriella De Marco, Giuseppe Di Giacomo, Elisabetta Di Stefano, Eva Di Stefano, Roberto Diodato, Dario Evola, Claudio Franzoni, Maurizio Harari, Franco La Cecla e Anna Castelli, Alessandro Poggio, Valentina Porcheddu, Daniela Sacco, Antonella Sbrilli, Salvatore Tedesco – have responded, in the style of each author, with a plurality of form, such as short essay, with bibliography and images, general analysis of Settis’s volume, in-depth studies on one of the themes, reflections on tradition and contemporaneity.

description: Galaxies in clusters are gas-deficient and a number of possible explanations for this observation have been advanced, including galaxy-cluster tidal interactions, galaxy harassment, and ISM-ICM gas stripping. In this paper, we use a cosmological simulation of cluster formation and evolution in order to examine this issue from a theoretical standpoint. We follow a large number of galaxies over time and track each galaxy's gas and stellar mass changes to discover what mechanism(s) dominate the evolution of the cluster galaxies. We find that while gas is lost due to a wide variety of mechanisms, the most common way is via a gas-only stripping event, and the amount of gas lost correlates with the ram-pressure the galaxy is experiencing. Although this gas-stripping occurs primarily in the central region (r < 1 Mpc), it is an important mechanism out to the virial radius of the cluster. This is due to the wide scatter in ram-pressure strength that a galaxy experiences at fixed radius. We find that the timescale for complete gas removal is > 1 Gyr. In addition, we find that galaxies in the field and in the cluster periphery (r > 2.4 Mpc) often accrete cool gas; the accretion stops between 1-2.4 Mpc, possibly indicating the onset of galaxy starvation.

description: AGNs are very powerful galaxies characterized by extremely bright emissions coming out from their central massive black holes. Knowing the redshifts of AGNs provides us with an opportunity to determine their distance to investigate important astrophysical problems such as the evolution of the early stars, their formation along with the structure of early galaxies. The redshift determination is challenging because it requires detailed follow-up of multi-wavelength observations, often involving various astronomical facilities. Here, we employ machine learning algorithms to estimate redshifts from the observed gamma-ray properties and photometric data of gamma-ray loud AGN from the Fourth Fermi-LAT Catalog. The prediction is obtained with the Superlearner algorithm, using LASSO selected set of predictors. We obtain a tight correlation, with a Pearson Correlation Coefficient of 71.3% between the inferred and the observed redshifts, an average Δz_norm = 11.6 x 10^-4. We stress that notwithstanding the small sample of gamma-ray loud AGNs, we obtain a reliable predictive model using Superlearner, which is an ensemble of several machine learning models.

description: This paper reports on an integrated extension project that combines an advanced crop production management educational program with on-farm research comparisons of alternative crop production technologies. The objectives of the project are to help producers determine the most profitable production strategies for their farm and to increase the effectiveness of technology transfer from research to adoption. The producer participants utilize farm records analyses and replicated on-farm comparisons to evaluate strategies for their farms. The trials are conducted using standard field equipment. The benefits and costs of the project were evaluated using a present value model. The analysis showed an internal rate of return of 28% for a group of 40 participants in the project. This represents a significant return to extension efforts even though only a limited number of producers may participate and significantly increases the rate of adoption of new technology.

description: Based on the shell model for Gamow-Teller and the Random Phase Approximation for forbidden transitions, we have calculated reaction rates for inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (INNS) under supernova (SN) conditions, assuming a matter composition given by Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium. The rates have been incorporated into state-of-the-art stellar core-collapse simulations with detailed energy-dependent neutrino transport. While no significant effect on the SN dynamics is observed, INNS increases the neutrino opacities noticeably and strongly reduces the high-energy tail of the neutrino spectrum emitted in the neutrino burst at shock breakout. Relatedly the expected event rates for the observation of such neutrinos by earthbound detectors are reduced by up to about 60%.
