description: We investigated the chromospheric activity of 60 pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in four molecular clouds and five moving groups. It is considered that strong chromospheric activity is driven by the dynamo processes generated by the stellar rotation. In contrast, several researchers have pointed out that the chromospheres of PMS stars are activated by mass accretion from their protoplanetary disks. In this study, the Ca II infrared triplet (IRT) emission lines were investigated utilizing medium- and high-resolution spectroscopy. The observations were conducted with Nayuta/MALLS and Subaru/HDS. Additionally, archive data obtained by Keck/HIRES, VLT/UVES, and VLT/X-Shooter was used. The small ratios of the equivalent widths indicate that Ca II IRT emission lines arise primarily in dense chromospheric regions. Seven PMS stars show broad emission lines. Among them, four PMS stars have more than one order of magnitude brighter emission line fluxes compared to the low-mass stars in young open clusters. The four PMS stars have a high mass accretion rate, which indicates that the broad and strong emission results from a large mass accretion. However, most PMS stars exhibit narrow emission lines. No significant correlation was found between the accretion rate and flux of the emission line. The ratios of the surface flux of the Ca II IRT lines to the stellar bolometric luminosity, R'_IRT, of the PMS stars with narrow emission lines are as large as the largest R'_IRT of the low-mass stars in the young open clusters. This result indicates that most PMS stars, even in the classical T Tauri star stage, have chromospheric activity similar to zero-age main-sequence stars.

description: The main component of the s process is produced by low mass stars (between 1.5 and 3 Mo), when they climb for the second time the red giant branch and experience a series of He shell flashes called thermal pulses. During the relatively long period (10^5 yr) that elapses between two subsequent thermal pulses, a slow neutron flux is provided by the 13C(a,n)16O reaction taking place within a thin 13C pocket located in the He-rich and C-rich mantel of these stars. A second, marginal, neutron burst occurs during the thermal pulse and it is powered by the 22Ne(a,n)25Mg reaction. We review the present status of the nucleosynthesis models of low mass AGB stars. The advance in the knowledge of the complex coupling between convective mixing and nuclear process, which allows the surface enrichment of C and s-process elements, is presented, together with the hypotheses concerning the physical mechanism driving the formation of the 13C pocket. In order to illustrate the capabilities and the limits of the theory, an updated computation of a 2 Mo stellar structure with solar chemical composition is reported. This model has been obtained by including a full nuclear network (from H up to Bi, at the termination point of the s-process path) into the stellar evolution code. The predicted modification of the surface composition occurring during the AGB evolution is shown. The new challenge of AGB modeling, namely the study of C-rich and s-rich very metal-poor stars, is discussed.

description: In Denmark there is a developed and well-organised advisory system. However, there is room for improvement. Many advisors experience that the farmers don't follow their advice, and therefore the same problems are discussed over and over. This entails that the advisors feel they lack impact and farmers feel the advising is inefficient and expensive. The job is therefore to make the utility value of the advising more visible, to motivate the farmers to exploit the full potentials of their production, and to make it clear to the farmer that the work of the advisors isn't just an expense, but a way to increase profits. The paper describes our work with advisers and farmers to find and develop methods, which can assist in obtaining these objectives. - Key account manager - No Cure No Pay - Benchmarking as a tool for motivation. In some regions the "key account manager"- idea is developing. The farmer has one advisor who is responsible for customer relations including optimisation of the relationship between the various advisors and the farmer. The paper describes how the advisors ensure that they meet the farmers' expectations. To make the value of advises even more obvious, we also work with contracts with integrated objectives for the farm. This ensures that the advisors are aware of the farmer's expectations and that the follow up part of the advising is at natural part of the process.

description: Chemical extraction using a molecular recognition resin named "Empore Radium Rad Disk" was developed to improve sensitivity for the low concentration of radium (Ra). Compared with the previous method, the extraction process speed was improved by a factor of three and the recovery rate for $^{226}$Ra was also improved from 81$\pm$4% to $>$99.9%. The sensitivity on the 10$^{-1}$ mBq level was achieved using a high purity germanium detector. This improved method was applied to determine $^{226}$Ra in Gd$_2$(SO$_4$)$_3{\cdot}$8H$_2$O which will be used in the Super-Kamiokande Gadolinium project. The improvement and measurement results are reported in this paper.

description: Near-future SZ surveys such as ACT, SPT, APEX, and Planck will find thousands of galaxy clusters. Multi-frequency arcminute-resolution SZ observations can, in principle, determine each cluster's gas temperature (T_e), bulk velocity (v_pec), and optical depth (tau). However, the frequency bands and detector sensitivity employed by upcoming surveys will generally not be sufficient to disentangle the degeneracy between these three cluster parameters, even in the absence of SZ signal contamination from point sources and imperfect primary microwave background subtraction. Assuming contaminants can be removed, we find that near-future SZ surveys will be able to constrain well two cluster gas parameters that are linear combinations of tau*T_e, tau*v_z, and tau*T_e^2. Because the SZ intensity shift is nearly a linear function of tau*T_e, tau*v_z, and tau*T_e^2, a correspondence exists between the two effective gas parameters that SZ surveys can constrain and simple line-of-sight integrals through the three dimensional cluster. We illustrate the parameter constraints and correspondence to line-of-sight integrals using 3D Nbody + hydro cluster simulations and a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We show that adding an independent T_e measurement to upcoming SZ data breaks the parameter degeneracy. The cluster effective velocity thus constrained is approximately the optical-depth-weighted velocity integrated along the cluster line of sight. A temperature prior with an error as large as 2 keV still gives bulk velocity errors < 100 km/sec, even for a more typical cluster with an electron temperature of 3 keV, for ACT-like SZ observations in the absence of signal contamination. The Markov chain constraints on v_pec and tau are more encouraging and likely more accurate than those obtained from Fisher matrices.

description: Dairy farmers have been able to use sexed semen from dairy breeds to pre-determine the sex of calves since 2000, sexed semen from beef bulls is not currently commercially available, but is expected within 2 years. A survey of a stratified random sample of suckler cow farmers is used to identify the potential uptake of sexed semen when it becomes available using a logistic limited dependent variable model to identify different characteristics between farmers who intend to use sexed semen and those who do not. Herd size, the perception of the quality of bulls used to produce sexed semen, anticipated problems using AI, concern over conception rates, the cost and profitability of using sexed semen and herd replacement policy are found to be the major factors that will influence uptake. The relative importance of each constraint is shown, and approaches to reduce these constraints discussed.

description: The management accounts in Farm Account Scheme (FAS) format of two Scottish farms in Organic conversion are examined and compared to Scottish average data. Farm 1 is a family run mixed farm with cereals, seed potatoes, cattle and sheep. Conversion has been phased with conversion ground in grass and set-aside, while cereals and potatoes have been grown conventionally until they could be grown organically. Cereal area was reduced so that livestock numbers and potato area could be maintained. The phased conversion plus organic aid payments has maintained the above average profitability although good prices for organic malting barley and seed potatoes have helped but these premiums may not be maintained. Farm 2 is an all grass dairy farm with two 150 cow pedigree Holstein herds on a high input high output system now 9 months into conversion. The two herds were reduced and merged on to one site to form one 200 cow herd. This released capital and labour was reduced by one man saving fixed costs, while yield per cow increased with only the grass in conversion. The challenge will be to maintain yield and profitability on organic feeds. The results to date show that with organic aid and careful planning of conversion and structural changes profitability can be maintained.

description: Two banana supply chains (BSC), one in Indonesia (BSC1) and one in Australia (BSC2), are described based on case study research conducted in 2002. BSC1 sources bananas from small farmers for distribution through traditional markets in Jakarta. BSC2 includes farmers supplying to both major and independent retailers in Sydney through a wholesale agency with some farmer ownership. Farmers in both chains live in relative isolation from the main markets for their bananas. Prices for their bananas depend on the market prices in the city, upon which they have little control. This paper focuses on how farmers removed from key markets, deal with buyers to receive fair prices. In both chains, most transactions between farmers and their buyers were completed through a fixed price mechanism with little bargaining effort from the farmers. Because of their relative isolation, farmers relied on the buyers to offer them fair prices that reflect market movements in the city. Farmers in BSC1 based their trust on traditional value systems and the competition to secure banana supply in the villages. In BSC2, farmers' trust in their agent developed over time in their relationships and by making comparisons between the prices farmers received for their bananas and the market information they have.

description: Enterprising Rural Families (ERFTM) is an international course for the rural family in business. ERFTM teaches a process of finding success, resilience and satisfaction for rural families engaged in enterprises; including agriculture. Instructors from the United States, Canada and Australia have teamed together to offer this course that focuses on the three main components of a family business: individuals, the family unit and the business enterprise. This course also allows families in business to increase their awareness of cultural differences and similarities and improve their understanding of global issues. The course consists of written presentations, online chat sessions, threaded discussions, readings, videos, case studies and individual projects. Using these mechanisms, the online interaction provides rural families with both the tools and skills to resolve immediate family business issues and build a profitable business for the future.

description: Les individus présentant des troubles psychiatriques peuvent être placés dans une chambre d’isolement durant leur hospitalisation pour recevoir des soins. Cette mesure est controversée et peut engendrer des traumatismes chez le patient, il est donc important de préciser la meilleure façon pour les infirmières de prodiguer des soins dans ce contexte. Les objectifs de ce travail seront de montrer l’intégration adéquate de l’isolement dans la prise en charge du patient, les meilleures pratiques de soins entourant la chambre de soins intensifs. La recherche d’article a été effectuée par CINAHL et PsycINFO. Les sept articles ont été sélectionnés selon les critères d’inclusions suivants : articles en français/anglais, isolement et contention, sources primaires, full text, meilleures pratiques, caractéristiques infirmières et recours à l’isolement, influence de l’environnement, hospitalisation psychiatrique et urgences. Les critères d’exclusions étaient ; articles de maximum 5 ans, pédopsychiatrie, milieu carcéral. Les résultats ont montré qu’il faut agir sur l’environnement pour prévenir l’usage de l’isolement. Le leadership dans l’équipe soignante joue un rôle dans la diminution de l’isolement. L’entretien post-isolement avec le patient renforce l’alliance thérapeutique. Les études sélectionnées pour ce travail proviennent de plusieurs pays, les structures de soins et la loi n’y étant pas identiques, tous les résultats ne seront pas applicables au contexte suisse. Les études étaient principalement qualitatives avec de petits échantillons. La nécessité d’agir sur le leadership au sein des équipes, l’environnement hospitalier et la structuration du processus d’isolement est recommandé pour la pratique.
Fcc breathing instability in BaBiO_3 from first principles

description: We present first-principles density-functional calculations using the local density approximation to investigate the structural instability of cubic perovskite BaBiO_3. This material might exhibit charge disproportionation and some evidence thereof has been linked to the appearance of an additional, fourth peak in the experimental IR spectrum. However, our results suggest that the origin of this additional peak can be understood within the picture of a simple structural instability. While the true instability consists of an oxygen-octahedra breathing distortion and a small octahedra rotation, we find that the breathing alone in a fcc-type cell doubling is sufficient to explain the fourth peak in the IR spectrum. Our results show that the oscillator strength of this particular mode is of the same order of magnitude as the other three modes, in agreement with experiment.

description: The debate about the "quasi" moratorium on the release of GMOs in the European Union is on going. One of the major arguments that were put forward to delay the release of new traits was the one for more information. In this contribution we compare the situation for Bt-maize from the 1995 and 2004 perspective. The 2004 perspective differentiate between two scenarios: one without the CAP reform and one including the CAP reform. For the comparison we use an ex-ante assessment model based on real option theory that explicitly considers the irreversible costs and benefits of the technology. As empirical information about possible irreversible costs is scarce we identify the maximum incremental social tolerable irreversible costs, MISTICs, for Bt-maize, a threshold value beyond which the immediate release of the crop should be delayed. The reversible benefits from Bt-maize among the EU- 15 where the damage from the ECB is economically important namely France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal are modeled using a small open economy partial equilibrium model. We compare the MISTICs for those five countries by farm household and by household. We observe very low values at household level, which have only slightly changed in favor of an immediate EU-wide release of Bt-maize. The CAP-reform in the case for Bt-maize does decrease the economic incentives for immediate adoption. Further details are discussed in the main text.

description: We investigated the kinetics of domain growth on liposomes consisting of a ternary mixture (unsaturated phospholipid, saturated phospholipid, and cholesterol) by temperature jump. The domain growth process was monitored by fluorescence microscopy, where the growth was mediated by the fusion of domains through the collision. It was found that an average domain size r develops with time t as r ~ t^0.15, indicating that the power is around a half of the theoretical expectation deduced from a model of Brownian motion on a 2-dimensional membrane. We discuss the mechanism of the experimental scaling behavior by considering the elasticity of the membrane.

description: The form and content of decentralization has dominated development discourse and public sector reform agenda in Kenya in the last two decades. The case of agricultural extension service presents decentralization in a difficult context partly due to lack of information on its possible diverse impacts especially on resource poor farmers. This paper explores the effect of decentralization of agricultural extension on access, accountability and empowerment, and efficiency of delivering services to farmers. Secondary data, participatory research methods and primary data from a random sample of 250 farmers were used. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis and logistic regression. The results show that there is improved access to extension services with increasing level of decentralization. Farmers from areas with higher decentralized extension also showed enhanced level of awareness of different channels for delivery of extension services. This improved knowledge, being an important component of empowerment of the farming community, resulted from the increase of service providers, who displayed synergy in their multiple methods of operation. Public delivery channels were the most affordable and were also ranked first for quality. Income, literacy levels, distance from towns and access to telephone significantly influenced access to extension services. Gender of the household-head was a key determinant for seeking out extension services in areas with high concentration of agricultural activities. For a pluralistic system to work there is need for better co-ordination between the various groups. Although there is evidence of partnership and synergy between service providers, there appeared to be little effective co-ordination of the groups involved. The government and other stakeholders should work towards developing a strong institutional framework that will guide and enhance this mutually beneficial partnership.
title: Rejoicement, Defiance and Contestation: Contextualizing Emotional Responses to Greek-Orthodox Voluntary Martyrdom in the Long 18th Century
Creators: name: Tzedopoulos, Yorgos
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2021

description: The article deals with the expression of collective emotions that accompanied the emergence of new saints and the establishment of their cult from the mid-18th until the early 19th century. Most of the new saints were Christian converts to Islam who had declared publicly their return to Christianity (or contested their having ever embraced Islam) and suffered the death penalty for apostasy; others were Christians who chose execution instead of embracing Islam when found guilty for offenses that annulled their status as zimmis (non-Muslim subjects of the sultan). This form of “death for the faith” grew into a distinct – and gradually formalized – performance of atonement, religious zeal and defiance in the Ottoman cities of the southern Balkans and around the Aegean. The article will focus on the reception of those deaths that were hailed as martyrdoms by some Christians and rejected as acts of foolishness by others, and will analyze the outbursts of collective and personal emotion that led to the recognition of the deceased as saints and to the establishment of their cult. As I intent to show, the core of this emotional nexus was formed by hopes of miraculous healing, protection, and acquisition of sacral grace through the sharing and venerating of the martyrs’ relics. In this framework, I will discuss the role of particular social groups (such as women and young artisans) in public and private performances of agonistic piety in relation to anxieties about social reproduction, exclusion and identity. In particular, the analysis will link the emotional dynamics around the cult of martyr-saints to conflicting perceptions of belonging in an age of social and cultural change. As I argue, these “emotions from below”, which were triggered by an act of transgression, contributed to intra-communal strife among the Christians, to inter-communal antagonism between Christians and Muslims, and to the destabilization of the Ottoman political order. The article draws on a wide range of sources, from hagiographical texts, accounts of miracles and ecclesiastical art, to personal correspondence, texts of European travelers and polemical treatises between the proponents of Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment.

Prairie Gateway, community, history and prairie : a design for a prairie landscape : Commerce City, Colorado
Creators: name: Golden, Shira B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The City of Commerce City, Colorado intends to develop a 940 acre disturbed prairie grassland site, called Prairie Gateway adjacent to the 27 square mile Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. A feasibility study has been conducted to assess economic and community development opportunities for Prairie Gateway that would support Refuge activities and provide a unique amenity for Commerce City residents and visitors. A preliminary site design has been proposed and initial costing and facility needs have been developed for a variety of program options. This design thesis builds on these previous studies and outlines a site concept for Prairie Gateway based on biophysical, social and historical data. The notion of prairie was explored in terms of art and literature to help better understand and design an appropriate and meaningful prairie experience. A review of several precedents for design on prairie landscapes was conducted to help in creating a site specific design language for Prairie Gateway. A series of design principles - spatial, design detail and program components were developed as building blocks for the proposal, and recur throughout at a variety of scales from planning to detailed design. Much of the Prairie Gateway design is linked to the concept of reconnection to prairie in terms of community, history and prairie experience. Spatially, at the planning scale, the design references the patterns of settlement based on the surveyed grid of the American West. At the more detailed scale the design incorporates a materials palette of the vernacular prairie farm including rough stone, brick, adobe and corrugated metal. The Prairie Gateway design includes a concept plan for the mile square portion of the site, a conceptual plan for a public park and visitor's complex, a schematic plan for an educational centre and lodge, a site plan for the lodge and detailed drawings for program areas within the lodge complex. Each portion of the design references the overall design and program principles developed during the analysis phase. Ideally, these principles can be used to guide future work on Prairie Gateway in order to create a holistic and integrated design.

description: In this paper, we are concerned with the stochastic susceptible-infectious-susceptible (SIS) epidemic model on the complete graph with $n$ vertices. This model has two parameters, which are the infection rate and the recovery rate. By utilizing the theory of density-dependent Markov chains, we give consistent estimations of the above two parameters as $n$ grows to infinity according to the sample path of the model in a finite time interval. Furthermore, we establish the central limit theorem (CLT) and the moderate deviation principle (MDP) of our estimations. As an application of our CLT, reject regions of hypothesis testings of two parameters are given. As an application of our MDP, confidence intervals with lengths converging to $0$ while confidence levels converging to $1$ are given as $n$ grows to infinity.

description: We present a wide field $V$-band imaging survey of approximately 1 deg$^2$ ($\sim7.2 h^{-2}_{75}$ Mpc$^{2}$) in the direction of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 2151 (the Hercules Cluster). The data are used to construct the luminosity function (LF) down to $M_V \approx -14.85$, thus allowing us to study the dwarf galaxy population in A2151 for the first time. The obtained global LF is well described by a Schechter function with best-fit parameters $α= -1.29^{+0.09}_{-0.08}$ and $M_V^* = -21.41^{+0.44}_{-0.41}$. The radial dependence of the LF was investigated, with the faint-end slope tending to be slightly steeper in the outermost regions and farther away than the virial radius. Given the presence of significant substructure within the cluster, we also analysed the LFs in three different regions. We find that the dwarf to giant ratio increases from the northern to the southern subcluster, and from low to high local density environments, although these variations are marginally significant (less than 2$σ$).

description: In the face of growing management problems and conflicts over increasing demands and dwindling or increasingly variable supplies of surface and groundwater, the need for revising the conventional water resource allocation methods has been increasingly felt among natural resource managers and policy makers. For the past 30 years economists have advocated for the application of various types of market-based instruments (MBIs) as an efficient means of effecting the re-allocation water resources among competing uses. While MBIs have been implemented in several countries, they have continued to encounter strong socio-political opposition, due to the impacts imposed on third-parties during transfers and re-allocations, as well as the distributional effects across different types of water users. Despite the demonstrable efficiency gains of MBIs, the resulting equity or distributional effects of MBI-driven re-allocations can be of equal or greater importance to policy-makers and the constituents that they serve. At the same time, the realized gains in economic efficiency from the application of MBIs depend heavily on the heterogeneity of the agents they are targeted towards, as well as the degree of information asymmetry that the regulator faces. In this paper, we use a simple theoretical framework to show the trade-offs between efficiency and equity that might arise from the application of MBIs to a heterogenous population of agents drawing non-cooperatively from a natural resource pool. Using the idealized centralized planner as a benchmark of dynamic, allocative efficiency, we compare the realized efficiency gains that can be realized by alternative policy instruments and the resulting impacts on distributional equity, in terms of the cumulative net benefits over time. Using the specific example of groundwater and the empirical setting of Southern California, we are able to highlight the trade-offs between efficiency and equity that might exist among alternative policy instruments, and how MBIs perform with respect to those dual criteria. We find that under agent heterogeneity, there are asymmetric gains in efficiency when the centralized planner allocations are constrained by equity considerations. Through such results, this paper demonstrates the importance of considering both efficiency gains and the minimization of disparities in distributional inequity, when designing policy instruments that create winners and losers with potentially serious socio-political ramifications.

description: We report on the discovery of a novel triangular phase regime in the system La1-xSrxMnO3 by means of electron spin resonance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. This phase is characterized by the coexistence of ferromagnetic entities within the globally paramagnetic phase far above the magnetic ordering temperature. The nature of this phase can be understood in terms of Griffiths singularities arising due to the presence of correlated quenched disorder in the orthorhombic phase.

description: A current problem in semiconductor spin-based electronics is the difficulty of experimentally expressing the effect of spin-polarized current in electrical circuit measurements. We present a theoretical solution with the principle of transference of the spin diffusion effects in the semiconductor channel of a system with three magnetic terminals. A notable result of technological consequences is the room temperature amplification of the magneto-resistive effect, integrable with electronics circuits, demonstrated by computation of current dependence on magnetization configuration in such a system with currently achievable parameters.

description: It is common in the internet industry to use offline-developed algorithms to power online products that contribute to the success of a business. Offline-developed algorithms are guided by offline evaluation metrics, which are often different from online business key performance indicators (KPIs). To maximize business KPIs, it is important to pick a north star among all available offline evaluation metrics. By noting that online products can be measured by online evaluation metrics, the online counterparts of offline evaluation metrics, we decompose the problem into two parts. As the offline A/B test literature works out the first part: counterfactual estimators of offline evaluation metrics that move the same way as their online counterparts, we focus on the second part: causal effects of online evaluation metrics on business KPIs. The north star of offline evaluation metrics should be the one whose online counterpart causes the most significant lift in the business KPI. We model the online evaluation metric as a mediator and formalize its causality with the business KPI as dose-response function (DRF). Our novel approach, causal meta-mediation analysis, leverages summary statistics of many existing randomized experiments to identify, estimate, and test the mediator DRF. It is easy to implement and to scale up, and has many advantages over the literature of mediation analysis and meta-analysis. We demonstrate its effectiveness by simulation and implementation on real data.

description: The Hyades is the nearest open cluster. Even so, distance uncertainties have limited the definition of its main sequence, and hence its ability to constrain evolutionary models. It has nevertheless been used as the basic observational material for various fundamental relationships in astrophysics. Gaia DR3 astrometry and photometry is transforming its understanding.

description: Records of the traded value f_i(t) of stocks display fluctuation scaling, a proportionality between the standard deviation sigma(i) and the average : sigma(i) ~ f(i)^alpha, with a strong time scale dependence alpha(dt). The non-trivial (i.e., neither 0.5 nor 1) value of alpha may have different origins and provides information about the microscopic dynamics. We present a set of recently discovered stylized facts, and then show their connection to such behavior. The functional form alpha(dt) originates from two aspects of the dynamics: Stocks of larger companies both tend to be traded in larger packages, and also display stronger correlations of traded value.

description: In some experiments and applications there is need for large-area photosensitive detectors to operate at cryogenic temperatures. Nowadays, vacuum PMs are usually used for this purpose. We have developed special designs of planar photosensitive gaseous detectors able to operate at cryogenic temperatures. Such detectors are much cheaper PMs and are almost insensitive to magnetic fields. Results of systematic measurements of their quantum efficiencies, the maximum achievable gains and long-term stabilities will be presented. The successful operation of these detectors open realistic possibilities in replacing PMs by photosensitive gaseous detectors in some applications dealing with cryogenic liquids; for example in experiments using noble liquid TPCs or noble liquid scintillating calorimeters.

description: The electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient, and thermopower as functions of temperature are reported for lightly electron-doped Ca(1-x)La(x)MnO(3)(0 <= x <= 0.10). Unlike the case of hole-doped ferromagnetic manganites, the magnitude and temperature dependence of the Hall mobility for these compounds is found to be inconsistent with small-polaron theory. The transport data are better described by the Feynman polaron theory and imply intermediate coupling (alpha \~ 5.4) with a band effective mass, m*~4.3 m_0, and a polaron mass, m_p ~ 10 m_0.

description: We present Kepler exoplanet occurrence rates inferred with approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). By using the same planet catalogue, stellar sample, and characterization of completeness and reliability as Bryson et al. (2020), we are able to provide the first direct comparison of results from ABC to those derived with the popular Poisson-likelihood method. For planets with orbital periods between 50 and 400 days and radii between 0.75 and 2.5 $R_{\oplus}$, we find an integrated occurrence rate $F_{0} = 0.596_{-0.099}^{+0.092}$ planets per GK dwarf star. After correcting for reliability against astrophysical false positives and false alarms, we find $F_{0} = 0.421_{-0.072}^{+0.086}$. Our findings agree within 1$σ$ of Bryson et al. (2020), indicating that the results are robust and not method-dependent.
