description: Mit dem Ziel gemeinsam eine regionale Blumenerde für Hobbygärtner/innen ohne Torf zu entwickeln, startete das zweijährige von der Metropolregion Nordwest geförderte Projekt „Nachhaltige Erden“ im September 2017. Fragen rund um Produktentwicklung, Qualität, Wirtschaftlichkeit und Marketing beschäftigten die Teilnehmer/innen, die gemeinsam an einem Fahrplan zur Entwicklung des Produktes arbeiteten. Es wurden Versuchsreihen aufgestellt, bei denen Pflanzenwachstum und Lagerfähigkeit verschiedener möglicher Mischungen getestet wurden. Neben der Untersuchung der Eignung verschiedener Kompostherkünfte, stand die Optimierung der Rezeptur für das gemeinsame Produkt im Vordergrund. Die Versuche zeigten, dass die untersuchten torffreien Blumenerden bei empfindlichen Pflanzenarten zu Chlorosen und Minderwuchs führten. Weniger empfindliche Pflanzenarten entwickelten sich in den torffreien Blumenerden ebenso gut wie in einer torfbasierten Blumenerde. Die Versuche wurden von der Landwirtschaftskammer Niedersachsen durchgeführt. Bereits seit März 2019 ist das im Projekt entwickelte Produkt, die „Regionale Blumen- & Pflanzerde“, auf dem Markt erhältlich.
description: With the aim of developing a regional potting soil for hobby gardeners without peat, the two-year project „Sustainable substrates“ started in September 2017. It is funded by the Northwest Metropolitan Region. Questions concerning product development, quality, economic efficiency and marketing were the focus of the participants, who worked together to create a new product. Test series were established, in which plant growth and storage property of various possible mixtures were tested. In addition to investigating the suitability of different compost origins, the aim was to optimize the recipe for the common product. The test series showed that the investigated peat-free potting soils led to chlorosis and plant growth deficiency in case of sensitive plant species. Less sensitive plant species developed in peat-free potting soils in the same way than in peat-based potting soils. The tests were conducted by the Chamber of Agriculture Lower Saxony. The common product is already available since March 2019.

title: Models of Pentecostal healing and practice in light of early twentieth century Pentecostalism
Creators: name: Alexander, Kimberly Ervin
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2003

description: This thesis offers an examination of healing theology and practice as found in early North American Pentecostalism. The thesis begins with a brief survey of recent scholarship and research on the subject of healing in America, establishing that little attention has been given to the theology and practice of the early Pentecostal movement. The first major section of the thesis is devoted to an examination of the Divine Healing Movement of the nineteenth century, providing the historical and theological background of the Pentecostal Movement's healing theology and practice. By examining the writings of five major practitioners of the movement (including A.B. Simpson, Andrew Murray and Carrie Judd Montgomery), a nineteenth-century theology of 'divine healing provided in the atonement' is articulated. A major portion of the thesis is devoted to an analysis of healing theology and practice in early North American Pentecostalism. An inductive approach is employed, examining the earliest (1906 to 1923) periodical literature of the movement, and where that is not available examining other extant materials, such as sermons, songs and tracts. This portion of the study consists of two major parts: Wesleyan-Pentecostalism and Finished Work Pentecostalism. The result of this examination is the identification of two distinct healing theologies and the attendant practices, which are consistent with each group's distinct soteriological characteristics. A models approach is then employed by which, out of the materials previously examined, these two distinct theologies of healing are constructed. A case study of Pentecostal responses to the 1918 Influenza Epidemic serves both to illustrate and test the two models of healing. A final chapter summarizes conclusions including contributions, clarifications, and implications of the research for further Pentecostal studies as well as a theological reflection on the findings.

description: Over the past half century, United States Virgin Islands agriculture has deteriorated because of the phase-out of commercial sugar and escalating resource competition from tourism, construction, government and export manufacturing. Increasing dualism has resulted with a few large farms dominating in cattle, dairying, and sorghum, while a very large number of small (less than 50 acres) farms have increasingly specialized in vegetables, Geld crops, fruits and nuts, poultry, and small livestock. Since 1960 these small-scale holdings have dominated the production of sheep, goats, hogs, poultry, eggs, avocados, bananas, coconuts, grapefruits, limes and lemons, mangoes, oranges, and papayas. In terms of gross output shares, farms of 3-9 acres have consistently been the most productive while 10-19 acre farms have been the least productive. Output per acre comparisons reveal that farm sizes of under 3 acres and 3-9 acres warrant special policy focus because of their relatively superior productivity and their extreme resource constraints.

description: We extend the cosmological bootstrap to correlators involving massless particles with spin. In de Sitter space, these correlators are constrained both by symmetries and by locality. In particular, the de Sitter isometries become conformal symmetries on the future boundary of the spacetime, which are reflected in a set of Ward identities that the boundary correlators must satisfy. We solve these Ward identities by acting with weight-shifting operators on scalar seed solutions. Using this weight-shifting approach, we derive three- and four-point correlators of massless spin-1 and spin-2 fields with conformally coupled scalars. Four-point functions arising from tree-level exchange are singular in particular kinematic configurations, and the coefficients of these singularities satisfy certain factorization properties. We show that in many cases these factorization limits fix the structure of the correlators uniquely, without having to solve the conformal Ward identities. The additional constraint of locality for massless spinning particles manifests itself as current conservation on the boundary. We find that the four-point functions only satisfy current conservation if the s, t, and u-channels are related to each other, leading to nontrivial constraints on the couplings between the conserved currents and other operators in the theory. For spin-1 currents this implies charge conservation, while for spin-2 currents we recover the equivalence principle from a purely boundary perspective. For multiple spin-1 fields, we recover the structure of Yang-Mills theory. Finally, we apply our methods to slow-roll inflation and derive a few phenomenologically relevant scalar-tensor three-point functions.

Continuum description of finite-size particles advected by external flows. The effect of collisions

Year: 2003

description: The equation of the density field of an assembly of macroscopic particles advected by a hydrodynamic flow is derived from the microscopic description of the system. This equation allows to recognize the role and the relative importance of the different microscopic processes implicit in the model: the driving of the external flow, the inertia of the particles, and the collisions among them. The validity of the density description is confirmed by comparisons of numerical studies of the continuum equation with Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) simulations of hard disks advected by a chaotic flow. We show that the collisions have two competing roles: a dispersing-like effect and a clustering effect (even for elastic collisions). An unexpected feature is also observed in the system: the presence of collisions can reverse the effect of inertia, so that grains with lower inertia are more clusterized.

description: Radar for indoor monitoring is an emerging area of research and development, covering and supporting different health and wellbeing applications of smart homes, assisted living, and medical diagnosis. We report on a successful RF sensing system for home monitoring applications. The system recognizes Activities of Daily Living(ADL) and detects unique motion characteristics, using data processing and training algorithms. We also examine the challenges of continuously monitoring various human activities which can be categorized into translation motions (active mode) and in-place motions (resting mode). We use the range-map, offered by a range-Doppler radar, to obtain the transition time between these two categories, characterized by changing and constant range values, respectively. This is achieved using the Radon transform that identifies straight lines of different slopes in the range-map image. Over the in-place motion time intervals, where activities have insignificant or negligible range swath, power threshold of the radar return micro-Doppler signatures,which is employed to define the time-spans of individual activities with insignificant or negligible range swath. Finding both the transition times and the time-spans of the different motions leads to improved classifications, as it avoids decisions rendered over time windows covering mixed activities.

description: Eine gewöhnlich hilfreiche Ursache-Wirkung-Beziehung als heuristisches Prinzip zur Interpretation biochemischer Wirkungen wird bei Huminstoffen seltener zur Anwendung kommen, da diese keine reproduzierbare chemische Konstitution haben, von der sich a priori derartige Effekte ableiten lassen. Dennoch gehen von diesen Naturstoffen dezidierte wie auch recht unspezifische biochemische Wirkungen aus.
description: In the field of humic substances there is no good use of the common heuristic principle of biochemical cause/impact interpretation, because it is impossible to reproduce their chemical constitution which could be made responsible for such effects. There is, on the other hand, no doubt that these natural substances are able to bring about as well specific as quite unspecific biochemical effects.

description: Status of quantum wavefunction is one of the most debated issues in quantum foundations -- whether it corresponds directly to the reality or just represents knowledge or information about some aspect of reality. In this letter we propose a {\it $ψ$-ontology} theorem that excludes a class of ontological explanations where quantum wavefunction is treated as mere information. Our result, unlike the acclaimed Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph's theorem, does not presume the absence of holistic ontological properties for product quantum preparations. At the core of our derivation we utilize the seminal no-go result by John S. Bell that rules out any local realistic world view for quantum theory. We show that the observed phenomenon of quantum nonlocality cannot be incorporated in a class of $ψ$-epistemic models. Using the well known Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality we obtain a threshold bound on the degree of epistemicity above which the ontological models are not compatible with quantum statistics.

description: In this paper we study the problem of locating a given number of hyperplanes minimizing an objective function of the closest distances from a set of points. We propose a general framework for the problem in which norm-based distances between points and hyperplanes are aggregated by means of ordered median functions. A compact Mixed Integer Linear (or Non Linear) programming formulation is presented for the problem and also an extended set partitioning formulation with an exponential number of variables is derived. We develop a column generation procedure embedded within a branch-and-price algorithm for solving the problem by adequately performing its preprocessing, pricing and branching. We also analyze geometrically the optimal solutions of the problem, deriving properties which are exploited to generate initial solutions for the proposed algorithms. Finally, the results of an extensive computational experience are reported. The issue of scalability is also addressed showing theoretical upper bounds on the errors assumed by replacing the original datasets by aggregated versions.

description: Context: In the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) was proven to be an intermediate product in the solid-state reaction scheme that leads to the formation of water on icy dust grains. When HOOH desorbs from the icy grains, it can be detected in the gas phase. In combination with water detections, it may provide additional information on the water reaction network. Hydrogen peroxide has previously been found toward $ρ$ Oph A. However, further searches for this molecule in other sources failed. Hydrogen peroxide plays a fundamental role in the understanding of solid-state water formation and the overall water reservoir in young stellar objects (YSOs). Without further HOOH detections, it is difficult to assess and develop suitable chemical models that properly take into account the formation of water on icy surfaces. Aims: The objective of this work is to identify HOOH in YSOs and thereby constrain the grain surface water formation hypothesis. Methods: Using an astrochemical model based on previous work in combination with a physical model of YSOs, the sources R CrA-IRS\,5A, NGCC1333-IRAS\,2A, L1551-IRS\,5, and L1544 were identified as suitable candidates for an HOOH detection. Long integration times on the APEX 12m and IRAM 30m telescopes were applied to search for HOOH signatures in these sources. Results: None of the four sources under investigation showed convincing spectral signatures of HOOH. The upper limit for HOOH abundance based on the noise level at the frequency positions of this molecule for the source R CrA-IRS\,5A was close to the predicted value. For NGC1333-IRAS 2A, L1544, and L1551-IRS\,5, the model overestimated the hydrogen peroxide abundances.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt die paläomagnetische Bearbeitung der Mittel- bis Oberpleistozänen Löss-/Paläoboden-Sequenz im Areal der ehemaligen Ziegelei Würzburger in Aschet bei Wels vor. Fünf intensiv entwickelte Paläoböden, bzw. Pedokomplexe wechseln mit dazwischen geschalteten Lößlehmlagen ab. Im Rahmen einer Aufbaggerung konnte ein Profil mit einer Mächtigkeit von über 12 m erschlossen werden. Für die magnetostratigraphischen Laboruntersuchungen im Paläomagnetiklabor der Montanuniversität Leoben wurden insgesamt 587 orientierte Proben entnommen, so dass eine beinahe lückenlose Beprobung vorliegt. Die Proben wurden mit magnetischen Wechselfeldern sowie thermisch abmagnetisiert. Zur Bestimmung der magnetischen Trägerminerale in den Sedimenten wurden Curiepunkt-Bestimmungen durchgeführt, die eine Hauptträgerphase mit einem Curie-Punkt bei ca. 580°C (Magnetit), sowie untergeordnete Anteile von Hämatit mit 670°C Curie-Punkt ergaben. Die magnetischen Parameter zeigen eine Folge von Bereichen mit intensiver Magnetitbildung in den Paläoböden, die dem relativ wärmeren Klima von Interglazialen zugeordnet werden können. Die Mehrzahl der Proben zeigen charakteristische Remanenzrichtungen im Bereich des normalen pleistozänen Erdmagnetfeldes. In einigen Profilabschnitten traten stark abweichende Remanenzrichtungen auf, die auf Exkursionen des Erdmagnetfeldes hinweisen. Die beobachteten Exkursionen im Profil Wels-Aschet werden aufgrund paläopedologischer-pedostratigraphischer Ergebnisse in das Zeitintervall von 570 ka (Emperor - Big Lost - Calabrian Ridge) bis 110 ka (Blake) gestellt. Die Brunhes/Matuyama-Grenze (776 ka) wurde nicht erreicht.

description: The collapse of the sugar industry in the Virgin Islands in 1966 ushered in a period of decline in agriculture which has persisted till the present. Despite the government's efforts to increase production, the agrarian domain has been under relentless siege by competing industrial, commercial and social interests. The paper is presented in three sections. The first gives, and discusses, basic quantitative parameters of the decline in agriculture over the last 20 years. The second makes use of a stochastic model absorbing Markov chains —to project the decline in the distribution and the total number of farm units over the next 20 years. The third section details those causative factors that may explain the decreasing performance in agriculture. These latter include the impact of the abandonment of sugar production, the development of tourism, the increase in industrial and commercial activities, competition from imported foodstuffs, the policies of government, the unavailability of land, the lack of trained personnel, the shortage of labor, inadequate supplies of water, and insufficient marketing facilities. The paper concludes with a call for a conscious policy commitment by the government.
Commentaries and Commentary Modes in Japanese Literary Tradition Based on the Examples of the Classical Poetry Anthologies

description: Classical studies were the mainstream of Far Eastern traditional culture. A survey of the relationship between classics and their commentaries is central for an understanding of the intellectual history of the countries of the Far East, of which Japan is one. Commentaries paid tribute to the canonization of literary monuments but did this without regard for the artistic and intellectual character of the classical text. Commentaries to the classical texts of ancient Japan, in particular, to the first poetic anthology Man’yōshū (“Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves”), are taking shape in the Heian era (9th–12th) as an attempt to restore the Japanese outlook on this poetry written in the 8th century in Japanese, but in Chinese characters. This classical poetry acquired a new form in the 9th century: now it was written in kanji and Japanese syllabary (hiragana). Several types of literary criticism existed: treatises on literary works, commentaries on classical monuments, compilation of anthologies (selection of literary texts for the constitution of complex collections), as well as poetic contests. Commentators mostly concentrated on understanding the meaning of separate words and phrases, but the general meaning of the text remained out of the scope of their attention.

description: There has been no lack of coverage in the past few years in scientific journals of the topic of quantum computation. Rightly so, as this is a novel idea with--so far--at least one very important practical application (prime factorisation) as soon as the technology can accommodate reasonably sized computations. Interest in quantum computing has been sparked by both the realization that increasing miniaturisation will eventually bring computer scientists face-to-face with quantum effects, and by the grasping of the potential for massive parallelism inherent in the Hilbert space representation of quantum systems and in the special effects of quantum entanglement.

description: In Schleswig-Holstein wurden in den zurückliegenden vier Jahrzehnten detaillierte Untersuchungen an Probenmaterial aus Aufschlüssen und Kernbohrungen durchgeführt. Analysen der Kiesfraktion und von ‚Leitgeschieben‘ aus glazialen Ablagerungen wurden für die Interpretation und Korrelation genutzt. Glazifluviatile Sedimente wurden TL- und OSL-datiert. Zusammen mit der stratigraphischen Information aus organischen Ablagerungen konnte eine neue klimatostratigraphische Tabelle des Pleistozäns für Schleswig-Holstein mit revidierter Gliederung des Mittel- und Oberpleistozäns erstellt werden. Die Pollensequenz der ältesten pleistozänen Warmzeit (Warmhörn-Thermomer) wird erstmals veröffentlicht. Das Unterpleistozän (Altpleistozän) und das untere Mittelpleistozän sind bei Lieth und bei Gorleben (Niedersachsen) in zwei kontinuierlichen Schichtfolgen vollständig dokumentiert, abgelagert in einem Wechsel von warmen und kalten Klimaphasen. Der oberste Abschnitt der Abfolge von Lieth und der unterste der Abfolge von Gorleben überlappen. Die kombinierte Abfolge bietet ein einzigartiges Referenzprofil für Korrelationen innerhalb Europas. Bisher wurden in Schleswig-Holstein nur drei Kaltzeiten mit Vergletscherungen nachgewiesen, Elster- und Saale-Kaltzeit im oberen Mittelpleistozän und die Weichsel-Kaltzeit im Oberpleistozän. Eine mögliche prä-elsterzeitliche Vergletscherung wird diskutiert. Die Holstein-Warmzeit wird mit MIS 9e korreliert. Das Saale umfasst einen unteren Abschnitt mit nicht-glaziären Kaltzeiten und mit Warmzeiten, der ‚Wacken-Warmzeit‘ (=Dömnitz) und der ‚Leck-Warmzeit‘, korreliert mit MIS 7e und MIS 7c, und einen glaziären oberen Abschnitt. Während des Weichsel gab es wahrscheinlich zwei Phasen mit Vergletscherung, die erste im frühen Mittelweichsel (‚Ellund-Phase‘, spätes MIS 4 oder/und frühes MIS 3), die zweite im oberen Weichsel (MIS 2). Die weichselzeitliche Vergletscherung Schleswig-Holsteins endet um 15 ka BP, als großflächige stagnierende Eisflächen und Toteismassen des Jungbaltischen Gletschervorstoßes (‘Mecklenburg-Phase’) schmolzen.

description: The paper presents an analysis of the current state of green energy in Japan. The study showcases that Japan’s energy strategy focuses primarily on eliminating energy deficit and, secondly, on greening the sector. After the Fukushima accident, Japan recognized renewable energy as a solution to the energy security problem and intensified government policies to stimulate investment in renewable energy. Policy incentives, primarily the introduction of feed-in tariffs, and massive investments have led to an increase in the share of renewable energy sources, especially solar PV, in the structure of electricity generation, and contributed to CO2 emissions decline after 2013, as well as the improvement in the energy efficiency of the economy. By the end of the second decade of the 21st century, Japan was among the topfive countries based on installed renewable power capacity (excluding hydropower). However, the costs of electricity have been rising and the costs associated with installing renewables in Japan are very high comparing with other countries. Meanwhile, Japan is among the top-five economies with the highest CO2 emissions, 90 percent of which are energy-related, and has been criticized by the international community for its ongoing support for fossil fuels. In 2020, Japan announced an ambitious plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by speeding up the development of key technologies such as next generation solar batteries and carbon recycling. The promotion of hydrogen society is called one of the most important steps towards a low-carbon economy in Japan. Achieving the goal will require a significant revision of the current energy plan, according to which, by 2030, more than half of the country’s energy will continue to be produced by fossil fuel plants. Japan has made some progress in its green energy policy, but whether it is sustainable remains to be seen. In addition, in light of low oil prices and the COVID-19 recession, the future of renewable energy sources remains uncertain.

description: Like most other crops, pigeon-peas are attacked by several insects, some of which cause heavy crop losses. These pests require special attention to arrest their damage, while others cause limited damage and need few or no control measures. During these studies, from twenty-two pest species recorded in Barbados, eight were feeding on leaves, and fourteen sucking sap from leaves, stems and pods. A number of indigenous natural enemies attacking these pest were also recorded.

description: In Barbados, three pests, Heliothis virescens (F.), Fundelia cistipennis (Dyar) and Callosbruchus chinensis (L.) inflict serious damage co pigeon-pea pods. Over the years it was estimated that some 60% pods were destroyed annually. Although a number of indigenous natural enemies were recorded attacking eggs, larvae and pupae of these pests, their populations were usually too low for adequate control. Between 1968 and 1983, a number of parasite species were introduced from India, Pakistan, Uruguay, U.S.A. and the Eastern Caribbean islands; 17 for the control of H. virescens, seven for F. cistipennis and two for C. chinensis. Of these, two species, Bracon hebetor (Say), from India and Bracon sp. prob. bebetor (Say) (close to Bracon brevicornis [Wesmeal]), from St. Vincent, became established against Heliothis and Fundelia. The levels of parasitism by the latter species ranged from 2.1 - 70%, avg. 16.4%, between April and December 1983.

description: Graphene is an ultrathin material, which allows us to control surface phenomena by means of field-effect gating. Among various surface phenomena, photo-oxidation is known to be a facile method to largely control the electronic structure of graphene. In this study, gate controllability of photo-oxidation of graphene is thoroughly examined using a field-effect-transistor configuration. The presence of water molecules enhances gate controllability, which can be explained using water-oxygen co-adsorption picture. In addition, the photo-oxidation reaction evolves from the edge and proceeds towards the center of the graphene channel, which can be understood by the fringing field effect. Semiconducting characteristics are successfully obtained by narrowing of the graphene channel, suggesting possible formation of a graphene nanoribbon under mild conditions, i.e., in air at room temperature.

description: Hartrot, or fatal wilt of coconut considered to be caused by the constant association of flagellate Phytomonas in the phloem of the diseased palm, is a potential danger affecting the progress of the economically important palm culture in Suriname and this region. In our attempts to control the disease, the results of field experiments revealed that periodical application of the insecticide Endrin around the coconut palms and weed control in the coconut plantations, checks the rapid spread of the disease. These indications on a practical scale proved that the same Endrin treatment applied only to the surrounding trees of a diseased palm, after killing the affected palm as soon as initial symptoms are noticed, and weed control in plantations where the disease was endemic checks this disease more or less on a permanent basis after about nine months of commencement of the treatment.
The Russian Vector of Japan’s Policy in the Arctic

description: The article addresses the Russian vector of Japan’s Arctic policy. The main areas of Japan’s interest in cooperation with Russia in the Arctic region are energy, transport, and security. The article focuses on the developments that took place in these areas in 2019–2020, which have not yet received proper coverage in Russian historiography. Pursuing the policy of diversification of energy supply sources, Japan turns its attention to the Russian Arctic as one of the promising areas of cooperation in the gas sector. In 2019, Japanese companies signed a contract for the purchase of a 10-percent stake in the Arctic LNG-2 project, which provides for Japanese investment worth almost $3 billion. As one of the primary areas of cooperation with Russia, Japan also considers participation in the transport and logistics development of the Northern Sea Route, which is indispensable for the implementation of gas production projects on the Yamal Peninsula. In addition, Japan is interested in establishing clear and stable “game rules” in the Arctic, and, in this sense, the security sphere in the Arctic region is becoming one of the most important areas of cooperation with Russia. The Russian vector of Japan’s Arctic policy received an additional impetus in connection with the policy of rapprochement with Moscow conducted by the Abe cabinets in 2012–2020. The Arctic projects have become an integral part of the Eight-Point Plan, contributing to Japan’s energy and economic security. Cooperation in the Arctic is directly linked not only to the projects of the development of the Northern Sea Route and Arctic projects for the extraction and liquefaction of natural gas, but also to bilateral projects in the fields of “green energy”, development of port infrastructure, urban construction, fish processing, ecology, improving people’s living conditions, medicine, tourism, etc.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit bildet einen Teil einer größeren Gemeinschaftsarbeit über die Entwicklung der nordalpinen Saumtiefe. Aus vielen neuen Erkenntnissen jüngerer Lokalstudien wird nach den grundlegenden Arbeiten von GÜMBEL und WEITHOFER einmal wieder eine Synthese gewagt, um die vielen Einzeltatsachen zu einem geschlossenen Bild von dem epirogenen und orogenen Werdegang der bayerischen Molasse zu vereinen. Das Literaturstudium ergab bald, daß eigene Geländeuntersuchungen nötig waren, um manche Widersprüche zu klären und die eine oder andere Lücke zu schließen.

description: The culture of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, the giant Malaysian prawn, has led to Caribbean culturists starting hatcheries to produce postlarvae as stock. Two systems are primarily employed: open, which utilize continuous or batch exchange of water, and closed, which recirculate the water. Open systems are generally safer since water exchanges can be made as needed. A disadvantage of open systems is that the hatchery must be located sufficiently near a sourer of saline water. Closed system hatcheries can be situated far from the coast, since the addition of both fresh and saline water is minimal. Disadvantages of closed systems arc the higher initial costs and difficulty in eliminating contaminated waters. ----- El cultivo de Macrobrachium rosenbergii, el camaron gigante de Malasia, ha obligado a los cultivadores del Caribe a empczar sus propios criaderos para la production de postlarvas para la cria. Los sistemas abiertos y cerrados son los dos ptincipales metodos usados. Los sistemas abiertos utilizan flujo continuo del agua o cambios frccuenres de esta. La vencaja de esce sistema esta en el poder eliminar aguas contaminadas en un momento determinado. Los sistemas cerrados recirculan el agua. Los criaderos dc sistema cerrado pucdcn set instalados lejos de la costa, ya que el uso de agua dulce y salada es minimo. Las desventajas de este sistema se deben al incremento del costo initial y al problema de deshacerse del agua dc cultivo cuando sutgen problemas. Los sistemas abiertos utilizan cambios continuous dc agua o en poca cantidad.
“Un-cinematic” and Clean: Japanese Film as Viewed by the 1920s Soviet Press

description: Soviet film director Sergei Eisesnstein, formulated some of his most influential ideas in filmmaking through his study of traditional Japanese arts. His lifelong fascination with Japanese culture and its alleged disposition for montage generated a number of in-depth, thought-provoking investigations, aimed at elucidating the theoretical underpinnings of Eisenstein’s work. This paper focuses, instead, on the historical and diplomatic circumstances surrounding Soviet intellectuals’ understanding of Japanese cinema. Eisenstein’s Za kadrom (“Beyond the Shot”) was written as an afterword to Naum Kaufman’s Japanese Cinema (1929), published as a brochure for the first “Japanese Film Exhibit” held in Moscow and Leningrad in the summer of 1929. The exhibit was a symbolic continuation of the collaborative efforts by VOKS (the All-Union Society for the Cultural Ties with Abroad) and the Shochiku film studio to organize the famous Kabuki visit in the summer of 1928. Both the Kabuki tour and the theatrical release of Japanese films were acts of cultural diplomacy, albeit with different political undertones. While the media coverage of the Kabuki visit was chiefly directed abroad, the writings on the “Japanese Film Exhibit” were targeted inwards, at the domestic Soviet audience, creating notably different veins within the official coverage of Japanese film and theater in the 1920s Soviet press. The study of 1920s Soviet media and archival materials documenting the organization of the first Japanese film screenings in Moscow and Leningrad revealed a particular set of linguistic and rhetorical strategies deliberately adopted by Soviet intellectuals in order to present Japanese cinema as an ideologically non-threatening, exotic object of fascination. Soviet writers also worked to present Japanese film as a powerful model for resisting the West, one that may be instrumental in achieving the political and economic objectives set by the Soviet film industry. In their assessment of Japanese films, their production and distribution practices, Soviet intellectuals often wrote of the concept of “cleanliness,” which testified to the cultural and ideological difficulties they experienced in formulating a more nuanced, historically contextualized vision of “Japanese cinema.”
title: The Location of Impurities in Polar Ice

description: The distribution of natural impurities in polar ice is of considerable relevance to processes occurring in ice sheets and to the study of ice cores used to determine past climate. In this thesis a reliable method is developed using the scanning electron microscope equipped with a cold stage to directly locate and identify, with x-ray analysis, impurity in situ, The technique uses sublimation to collect impurities on the ice surface. Specimens of cold polycrystalline snow and ice from cores drilled in both Greenland and Antarctica are examined. The distribution is revealed to be heterogeneous and primarily dependent on the bulk ice impurity content In some samples dust particles are distributed preferentially at grain boundaries and are observed pinning grain boundaries. Soluble impurities are found dissolved in the lattice, at grain boundaries and coating bubbles Significant quantities of sulphuric acid are found in veins at crystal triple junctions only when sufficient acid is present in the ice to also coat the surrounding grain boundaries. Thus a smaller fraction resides in veins than previously thought. Factors such as grain size, fabric orientation, ice temperature and age are also likely to play a significant role in determining impurity distribution. The response of electrical conductivity to chemical impurity in the Dome C (Antarctica) ice core is quantified and is consistent with these observations. It is modelled by the presence of sulphuric acid at grain boundaries and possibly veins. A large proportion of the salt chloride in the core must be incorporated in the lattice to explain the measured conductivity. Limited diffusion of chloride and sulphate ions, but not sodium, is observed in the Dome C core causing broadening of peaks. Models reliant on normal grain growth to stimulate solute movement can explain this. This work reconciles differences between previous location studies, presents a consistent but not well-quantified description of impurity distribution and addresses possibilities of post-depositional solute movement.
