description: Northwest Africa (NWA) 5958 is a carbonaceous chondrite found in Morocco in 2009. Preliminary chemical and isotopic data leading to its initial classification as C3.0 ungrouped have prompted us to conduct a multi-technique study of this meteorite and present a general description here. The petrography and chemistry of NWA 5958 is most similar to a CM chondrite, with a low degree of aqueous alteration, apparently under oxidizing conditions, and evidence of a second, limited alteration episode manifested by alteration fronts. The oxygen isotopic composition, with $Δ^{17}$O = -4.3 $\permil$, is more 16O-rich than all CM chondrites, indicating, along with other compositional arguments, a separate parent body of origin. We suggest that NWA 5958 be reclassified as an ungrouped carbonaceous chondrite related to the CM group.

description: The recent discovery of a Weyl semimetal in TaAs offers the first Weyl fermion observed in nature and dramatically broadens the classification of topological phases. However, in TaAs it has proven challenging to study the rich transport phenomena arising from emergent Weyl fermions. The series Mo$_x$W$_{1-x}$Te$_2$ are inversion-breaking, layered, tunable semimetals already under study as a promising platform for new electronics and recently proposed to host Type II, or strongly Lorentz-violating, Weyl fermions. Here we report the discovery of a Weyl semimetal in Mo$_x$W$_{1-x}$Te$_2$ at $x = 25\%$. We use pump-probe angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (pump-probe ARPES) to directly observe a topological Fermi arc above the Fermi level, demonstrating a Weyl semimetal. The excellent agreement with calculation suggests that Mo$_x$W$_{1-x}$Te$_2$ is the first Type II Weyl semimetal. We also find that certain Weyl points are at the Fermi level, making Mo$_x$W$_{1-x}$Te$_2$ a promising platform for transport and optics experiments on Weyl semimetals.

description: During storage, potato tubers are susceptible to different pathogen, which can attack the skin and flesh of the tubers. The most serious damage can be caused by rot inducing bacteria and fungi. A possible way to prevent microbial damage may be the use of ozone in the air ventilated through the stored tubers. However, the tubers can undergo qualitative changes, e.g. dehydration and loss of starch content. This article presents the results of a five-month experiment in which ozone concentration of 5 mg m-3 was periodically introduced in some of the stored potato tubers of the cultivar ‘Dali’. All potato tubers were stored in closed storage boxes with a metal frame and wood panels in the floor and walls (ground area 1.6×1.2 m, height 0.95 m) which were continuously aerated using the ambient air in a potato warehouse. There was 900 kg of tubers stored in the box. At the end of the experiment, the ozonated variant was compared with the control (not treated). The ozone-treated tubers had 2.95 times lower incidence of infection by rot and the number of microorganisms on healthy tubers was lower than the control. The ozone-treated tubers were less frequently dehydrated. The water loss was higher in control by 0.86 %. There was no significant difference in silver scurf manifestation or in the starch content between the two variants.

description: We investigate the possibility to suppress interactions between a finite dimensional system and an infinite dimensional environment through a fast sequence of unitary kicks on the finite dimensional system. This method, called dynamical decoupling, is known to work for bounded interactions, but physical environments such as bosonic heat baths are usually modelled with unbounded interactions, whence here we initiate a systematic study of dynamical decoupling for unbounded operators. We develop a sufficient decoupling criterion for arbitrary Hamiltonians and a necessary decoupling criterion for semibounded Hamiltonians. We give examples for unbounded Hamiltonians where decoupling works and the limiting evolution as well as the convergence speed can be explicitly computed. We show that decoupling does not always work for unbounded interactions and provide both physically and mathematically motivated examples.

description: Oman is a country that is mostly dry and hot, with daily maximum temperatures easily reaching 40°C or more during summer. The Oman weather therefore renders conventional open field agriculture almost impossible. The sustainable future of agriculture in Oman and other similar desert countries will therefore depend very much on the adoption of land and water saving technologies such as greenhouses and soilless culture or hydroponics. Soilless culture (Hydroponics) is the technique of growing plants without soil with their roots immersed in nutrient solution. Among factors affecting hydroponic production systems, is the nutrient solution temperature which is considered to be one of the most important determining factors of crop yield and quality. The aim of this research is therefore to investigate the economic effect of cooling nutrient solutions temperature technique on cucumber output. Four nutrient solutions temperatures are investigated and a Cost Benefit Analysis is undertaken. Results indicate that all the four cooling nutrient temperature yields positive returns (benefits) above variable and total costs for the two years of this experiment. Cooling nutrient temperature (22ºC) yields higher returns than the other treatments followed by treatment (25ºC), (28ºC) and then the CONTROL treatment. Returns for the second year are higher than the first year. Therefore treatment (22ºC) was observed to be the best overall producing the highest return above variable and total costs. It is therefore considered the best alternative for cucumber growers.

description: The rise in the popularity of Jamaican dancehall music have shifted cultural patterns usually unique to Trinidad and Tobago. To date, very little research has been done to ascertain whether the construction of identities among young men in Trinidad and Tobago has any relationships to their participation in popular culture. Through a survey and focus group interviews, this dissertation seeks to identify whether dancehall music and its culture has an impact on young male university students between the ages of 18- 25. The study found that the subscribers of dancehall music do not only see it as creating a ‘new’ identity but more so an extension of their identity which facilitates the reflection of real life experiences to which they believe they can relate to. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; text-indent: 36.0px; font: 12.0px 'Times New Roman'; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000} span.s1 {font-kerning: none}

description: In this paper we study the reconstruction of moving object densities from undersampled dynamic X-ray tomography in two dimensions. A particular motivation of this study is to use realistic measurement protocols for practical applications, i.e. we do not assume to have a full Radon transform in each time step, but only projections in few angular directions. This restriction enforces a space-time reconstruction, which we perform by incorporating physical motion models and regularization of motion vectors in a variational framework. The methodology of optical flow, which is one of the most common methods to estimate motion between two images, is utilized to formulate a joint variational model for reconstruction and motion estimation. We provide a basic mathematical analysis of the forward model and the variational model for the image reconstruction. Moreover, we discuss the efficient numerical minimization based on alternating minimizations between images and motion vectors. A variety of results are presented for simulated and real measurement data with different sampling strategy. A key observation is that random sampling combined with our model allows reconstructions of similar amount of measurements and quality as a single static reconstruction.

description: Nitrogen is a major plant nutrient which is most limiting in the soil due to soil losses of mineral nitrogen (N) form. To ensure availability of nitrogen in the soil, the study was conducted to screen four cowpea genotypes for Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) and their contribution to maize yield in maize- cowpea rotation. The cowpea genotypes used were mutants LT11-3-3-12 (LT) and BB14-16-2-2 (BB) and their parental varieties Lutembwe (LTPRT) and Bubebe (BBPRT) respectively. Trials were established at two sites (Chisamba and Batoka) of different soil types. The Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications was used. Labelled 15N urea was applied at 20kgNha-1 on the four cowpea genotypes during 2015/16 growing season. Cowpea plant parts were dried and milled for 15N isotopic analysis. The data collected included Nitrogen content and atom % 15N excess in the fixing cowpea genotypes and non-nitrogen fixing pearl millet to determine total nitrogen derived from the atmosphere (TNdfa) and total nitrogen (TN) in plant parts which were further used to compute Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF). The results showed that BNF by cowpea genotypes at Chisamba was 63.9 kg ha-1 and was significantly (P<0.001) more than BNF of 6.6 kgha-1 at Batoka. The LT mutant fixed significantly (P<0.001) higher nitrogen of 86.1 kgha-1 and 16.5kg ha-1 at Chisamba and Batoka respectively than other genotypes. However, both BB and LT mutants significantly fixed more nitrogen than their parents and have demonstrated to increase maize grain yields up-to 12 tha-1 in the maize – cowpea rotation.

description: Khorezm province is located in the northwest part of Uzbekistan in the basin of one of largest water sources – the Amu Darya River - and occupies the left bank in the Amu Darya lower reaches. The area of the province is 6,100 km2. The province borders Karakalpakstan in the North, Turkmenistan in the South, and Bukhara province of Uzbekistan in the South-East. Uzbekistan is situated in the territory, where high rates of climate change are expected and observed. According to forecasts, further climate change would cause even higher air temperatures, altered precipitation patterns and severe and prolonged droughts, with consequent lowering of available water resources. More plausible scenarios for Uzbekistan suggest more than 4°С rise in average annual air temperatures by 2080. Water discharge along the Amu Darya River is expected to decrease potentially by 10-15%. Objective of given work is to analyze and assess the positive impacts of climate change through alterations of bioclimatic potential in given terrain and agromelioration parameters of crops, with consequent changes in crop water requirements. Earlier research results showed that the observed growth of thermal potential allows earlier sowing and more rapid accumulation of effective temperatures. This will shorten plant development phases, on the one hand, and, as a result, reduce water use by crops, on the other hand.

description: The importance of knowing how to design is constantly and inevitably experienced in the concreteness of the territories. In the social field, the recipients are no longer to be considered mere receptors of interventions planned upstream, but active protagonists. In this situation, the educator assumes an eminently political role and adopts the socio-cultural animation framework, connecting individual projectuality and community planning. Finally, the article presents an analysis of the core contents of the degrees class L-19, identified, at the national level, through the research project Teco-D Pedagogia; some research paths and lines of contamination and implementation between researchers and professionals; various content proposals related to the training path of kindergarten and socio-pedagogical educators in order to the unavoidable, and sometimes neglected, theme of educational planning. Per un’educazione progettuale, tra obiettivi formativi e dinamiche politico-culturali L’importanza del saper progettare si coniuga con la proposta di una centratura sui territori, nell’ambito dei quali i soggetti destinatari non sono più da considerarsi meri recettori di interventi progettati a monte, ma protagonisti attivi degli stessi. L’educatore, in siffatto frangente, assume un ruolo eminentemente politico e adotta l’idea-guida dell’animazione socio-culturale, così da connettere il piano della progettualità con quello della progettazione vera e propria. Si offrono, infine, delle analisi inerenti ai contenuti core della classe delle lauree L-19, individuati, a livello nazionale, attraverso il progetto di ricerca Teco-D Pedagogia; delle piste di ricerca e delle linee di contaminazione attuativa fra i teorici e i pratici; alcune proposte contenutistiche relative al percorso di formazione degli educatori di nido e socio-pedagogici in ordine al tema ineludibile, e talora trascurato, della progettazione educativa.

The model will be developed through the concept of social capacities (as used by Bennworth et al.) through the following hypothesis: Social capacities can be usefully understood by a theory of epistemic virtues. In the paper I will attempt such an analysis using concrete cases of “pathways to impact” collected in the COST network ENRESSH.

description: V.A.Bulgakova, M.S.Sedova, I.IBalabolkin, T.B.Sentsova Currently, the efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy is mainly assessed by clinical result. The important part in solving this issue, apart from routine methods of investigation, is the determination of immunoglobulins’ levels, dynamics of soluble factors of immune response, such as cytokines, chemokines and soluble forms of membrane antigens of immunocompetent cells. Investigation of concentrations of given serum mediators allows to reliably assess the efficacy of allergen-specific immunotherapy of bronchial asthma in children at the initial stage of treatment for timely and adequate changes of therapeutic tactics in such patients.

description: Recent submillimeter and far-infrared wavelength observations of absorption in the rotational ground-state lines of various simple molecules against distant Galactic continuum sources have opened the possibility of studying the chemistry of diffuse molecular clouds throughout the Milky Way. In order to calculate abundances, the column densities of molecular and atomic hydrogen, HI, must be known. We aim at determining the atomic hydrogen column densities for diffuse clouds located on the sight lines toward a sample of prominent high-mass star-forming regions that were intensely studied with the HIFI instrument onboard Herschel. Based on Jansky Very Large Array data, we employ the 21 cm HI absorption-line technique to construct profiles of the HI opacity versus radial velocity toward our target sources. These profiles are combined with lower resolution archival data of extended HI emission to calculate the HI column densities of the individual clouds along the sight lines. We employ Bayesian inference to estimate the uncertainties of the derived quantities. Our study delivers reliable estimates of the atomic hydrogen column density for a large number of diffuse molecular clouds at various Galactocentric distances. Together with column densities of molecular hydrogen derived from its surrogates observed with HIFI, the measurements can be used to characterize the clouds and investigate the dependence of their chemistry on the molecular fraction, for example.

description: The purpose of the paper is to analyze the ways through the which the study courses in Education and Training Sciences develop the educational planning competence, recognized by the TECO project as one of the six final training objectives of the L-19 degree class. The educational planning competence is recognized as key condition in educational work and more than other, it assumes in itself the paradigm of the complexity in taking into account constraints and resources, opportunities and risks. Since the development of competences implies experiential and pro-active approaches, the academic courses engaged in the training of educational figures must be able to connect the academic know-how and theories (disciplinary contents) to the learning in situation/context (apprenticeship and laboratories), to extra-curricular learning and experiences that, through informal channel/dimension, contribute to the development of the transversal competences and the professional habitus. Sviluppare la competenza progettuale nel lavoro educativo all’interno dei corsi di studio in Scienze dell’educazione e della formazione Scopo del contributo è analizzare le modalità attraverso cui i corsi di studio in Scienze dell’educazione e della formazione sviluppano la competenza progettuale, riconosciuta dal progetto TECO uno dei sei obiettivi formativi finali della classe di laurea L-19. La capacità di progettare viene riconosciuta fra le condizioni fondative del lavoro educativo e più di altre, assume in sé il paradigma della complessità, nella misura in cui devono essere considerati vincoli e risorse, opportunità e rischi. Dal momento che la formazione delle competenze (non solo progettuali) presuppone approcci esperienziali e proattivi, i percorsi universitari che preparano le professioni educative devono essere in grado di coniugare il sapere propriamente accademico (gli insegnamenti disciplinari) con spazi di apprendimento in situazione (tirocinio e laboratori) e spazi di apprendimento extracurricolare che, attraverso il canale dell’informale, contribuiscono alla costruzione delle competenze trasversali e degli abiti professionali.

description: Asthma a heterogeneous disease with many phenotypes. Identification of specific subphenotypes of asthma will help our understanding of pathophysiology and response to therapy and result in better selection of both existing and future antasthmatic treatment in each case. According to research the use of cluster analysis in patients with severe asthma has led to the discovery of four different clinical phenotypes of the disease: two with eosinophilic inflammation of the airways and the two without such inflammation. Eosinophil count in sputum in patients with eosinophilic inflammation may have high diagnostic and therapeutic importance. Molecular phenotyping using gene arrays in patients with asthma receiving only short-acting $2-agonist allowed to distinguish two different subgroups of patients (Th2-high and Th2-low) based on gene expression Th2 cytokines (IL-5, IL-13) and Th2-coding genes. The appointment of anti-IL-5 therapy in patients with proven respiratory eosinophilic inflammation and frequent exacerbations of asthma allowed to reduce the frequency of exacerbations of the disease, but did not affect the daily symptoms. In turn, it was observed that treatment with antibiotics from the macrolide group of patients with non-eosinophilic asthma and neutrophilic inflammation of the airways has led to marked reduction in the number of neutrophils in sputum and the concentration of IL-8, as well as improve the quality of life.

description: We introduce a method to evaluate the relative populations of different conformers of molecular species in solution, aiming at quantum mechanical accuracy, while keeping the computational cost at a nearly molecular-mechanics level. This goal is achieved by combining long classical molecular-dynamics simulations to sample the free-energy landscape of the system, advanced clustering techniques to identify the most relevant conformers, and thermodynamic perturbation theory to correct the resulting populations, using quantum-mechanical energies from density-functional theory. A quantitative criterion for assessing the accuracy thus achieved is proposed. The resulting methodology is demonstrated in the specific case of cyanin (cyanidin-3-glucoside) in water solution.

description: This paper presents the results of profound anamnestic and clinical and laboratory examination of 425 children with atopic dermatitis living on the environmentally rough territories. The authors present the pathogenetically substantiated requirements of optimization of standard approaches to treatment of children with allergic skin diseases living in the industrial toxic chemicals’ polluted and contaminated environment. It is proposed to use the enterosorbents and intravenous drop infusions of Cytoflavin at age-adjusted doses. Based on comparative analysis of dynamics of clinical and laboratory parameters that reflect the sensitization levels and state of oxidative homeostasis and immune system, the clinical efficacy of the drug with antioxidant, antihypoxic and metabolic action has been proven for treatment of atopic dermatitis in children living in environmentally unfavorable conditions.

We discuss the origin of the correction and describe the calculations, based on simple polynomial fits of both the theoretical cross sections and the ion energy losses. The procedure can be easily implemented. We show several examples for a set of targets specifically produced for cross section measurements and for various combinations of ion type and energy.

Optimal control for perfect state transfer in linear quantum memory

description: A quantum memory is a system that enables transfer, storage, and retrieval of optical quantum states by ON/OFF switching of the control signal in each stages of the memory. In particular, it is known that, for perfect transfer of a single-photon state, appropriate shaping of the input pulse is required. However, in general, such a desirable pulse shape has a complicated form, which would be hard to generate in practice. In this paper, for a wide class of linear quantum memory systems, we develop a method that reduces the complexity of the input pulse shape of a single-photon while maintaining the perfect state transfer. The key idea is twofold; (i) the control signal is allowed to vary continuously in time to introduce an additional degree of freedom, and then (ii) an optimal control problem is formulated to design a simple-formed input pulse and the corresponding control signal. Numerical simulations are conducted for Lambda-type atomic media and a networked atomic ensembles, to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: After its first implementation in 2003 the Astro-WISE technology has been rolled out in several European countries and is used for the production of the KiDS survey data. In the multi-disciplinary Target initiative this technology, nicknamed WISE technology, has been further applied to a large number of projects. Here, we highlight the data handling of other astronomical applications, such as VLT-MUSE and LOFAR, together with some non-astronomical applications such as the medical projects Lifelines and GLIMPS, the MONK handwritten text recognition system, and business applications, by amongst others, the Target Holding. We describe some of the most important lessons learned and describe the application of the data-centric WISE type of approach to the Science Ground Segment of the Euclid satellite.

Year: 2020

description: The paper focuses on the importance of training design for the development of the territory by outlining the functions, learning contents and skills of the subject for the definition and cultivation of sustainable practices for well-being and active citizenship. The paper, therefore, invites the reader to reflect on the theme of training, identifies educational practices and development prospects and then presents the results of a training project carried out in a small lazial village. It is precisely from the small local realities that it is possible to open the space for a design aimed at training citizens who are protagonists able to provide their contribution to responsibly inhabit the territory, in the acquired awareness of the close interdependence that unites person and community, between local and global. Apprendimento e Territorio. La progettazione come leva per lo sviluppo sostenibile nelle comunità locali Il contributo si concentra sull’importanza della progettazione formativa per lo sviluppo del territorio delineando le funzioni, i contenuti di apprendimento e le skills del soggetto per la definizione e coltivazione di pratiche sostenibili per il benessere e la cittadinanza attiva. Il contributo, pertanto, invita il lettore ad una riflessione sul tema della formatività, individua le pratiche educative e le prospettive di sviluppo per poi presentare i risultati di un progetto formativo realizzato in un piccolo borgo laziale. È proprio dalle piccole realtà locali che è possibile aprire lo spazio per una progettazione mirante a formare cittadini protagonisti in grado di fornire il proprio contributo per abitare responsabilmente il territorio, nell’acquisita consapevolezza della stretta interdipendenza che unisce persona e comunità, tra locale e globale.

Flutter stabilization for an unstable hyperbolic flow-plate interaction

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: The aim of these lectures is to present a mathematical theory of control problems arising in ﬂow-structure interactions. From the modeling point of view, these are coupled problems of two dynamicsat an interface. The equations of interest are an unstable linearization of the compressible Eulerequation with a nonlinear plate dynamics. The latter accounts for the eﬀects of possibly largedisplacements, which are typically modeled by the scalar or vectorial von Karman equations oflarge plate deﬂections. The coupled model is a hybrid interaction between the ﬂow—deﬁned on a3D ﬂow domain—and the plate or shell—deﬁned on a 2D manifold. The unperturbed ﬂow moves in3D with normalized velocity U > 0and excites the structure through the distributed pressure, actingthrough traces on the lower dimensional manifold. As a consequence, the structural displacementsthen perturb the ﬂow. The communication (feedback) between these two systems lies in the heartof the mathematical problem. The described interaction is ubiquitous in nature, with a multitudeof physical applications. Some central examples arise in Fluid Mechanics, Aerospace Applications,Structural Engineering, and Biological Applications.

description: Recent quasar surveys have revealed that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) rarely exceed a mass of $M_{\rm BH} \sim {\rm a~few}\times10^{10}~M_{\odot}$ during the entire cosmic history. It has been argued that quenching of the BH growth is caused by a transition of a nuclear accretion disk into an advection dominated accretion flow, with which strong outflows and/or jets are likely to be associated. We investigate a relation between the maximum mass of SMBHs and the radio-loudness of quasars with a well-defined sample of $\sim 10^5$ quasars at a redshift range of $0

description: In recent years, reducing food waste and loss has become a policy priority in the European Union, but little is known about impacts of related measures in the EU and beyond. This study informs the debate on food waste reduction through a quantitative analysis. It considers adjustment costs for reducing food waste in food processing industries and impacts on food availability, pressure on land and water, and other environmental consequences. The results suggest that the leakage effects of global trade may offset almost all benefits of food waste reduction in the EU. We thus conclude that costly efforts to reduce food waste in the EU cannot be motivated by larger contributions to global food availability and environmental benefits. This highlights the need for global coordination of such policies and/or more targeted actions in the EU which focus on specific production chains, where losses can be reduced and environmental gains obtained at a relatively low cost.
