description: Climate change across the U.S. Corn Belt will significantly increase precipitation variability and temperatures by midcentury. Corn and soybean producers will seek to find strategies that may help to mitigate the potentially negative effects on yield. The adoption of irrigation technology has increased over the last several decades to improve yields in areas with insufficient rainfall, and is currently being adopted by producers who are choosing to minimize risk due to weather variability. To see if this trend in irrigation adoption has the potential to expand in the wake of climate change, this study uses weather data, crop yields, and water use from four General Circulation Models (GCMs) under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 and crop models to evaluate the profitability of the irrigation investment. The data drives Net Present Value and internal rate of return calculations of investment in irrigation equipment for the present (1980-2005) and midcentury (2040-2070). The Net Present Value of irrigation investment for midcentury producers is largely driven by the yield response to irrigation by soybeans under future climate conditions. While the irrigation of corn is profitable in some locations, namely the western Corn Belt, the locations where irrigating corn in the future is largely the same as in the contemporary period. Under future weather conditions, the area where irrigating soybeans becomes profitable is greatly expanded, likely due to CO2 fertilization effects and higher temperatures in the northern Corn Belt. Projected irrigation water demand increases across the entire Corn Belt, both from a relative increase in applications from current irrigators, and an increase in the total number of irrigators across the central and eastern Corn Belt. The increase in profitability for irrigation, and the potential increases in water demanded has important policy implications for the future, in order to mitigate the potential impacts of climate change while ensuring water supplies are available and safe for the future.

description: This research was aimed at constructing a nutritionally balanced food basket for Zanzibar (an autonomous region of Tanzania) that relies on traditional foods and is affordable. Using household survey data the author constructed a representative food basket that provides an average daily intake of 2150 calories. The resulting basket is deficient in sever critical nutrients. Adjusting calorie shares of the foods in the basket resulted in a more balanced diet, but the new basket is higher cost and remains deficient in calcium and other minerals.

description: The study assessed the impact of using different stocking rates of goats under pine plantation on plant species occurrence and animal productivity. It was conducted on an 11 year-old loblolly pine plantation site in Epes, Alabama from July to October 2011. Thirty-six Kiko crossbred male goat kids of 4 to 5 months of age were assigned to different stocking rates, namely, low (4 goats/acre), medium (8 goats/acre), and high (12 goats/acre) with three replications each. Forage composition, animal daily gain (ADG) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were monitored. Bahia grass (Paspalum notatum) was the most dominant grass species across all treatments. Quantities of understory plant species decreased across all stocking densities with season, but there were no statistical differences (p > 0.05); ADG and BUN were similar. Long-term studies need to be conducted before any meaningful inferences can be drawn.

description: Purpose: Classical galactosaemia is an inborn error of galactose metabolism which may lead to impairments in body functions and accordingly, need for additional care. The primary aim of this study was to establish the type and intensity of this additional care. Materials and methods: Patients with classical galactosaemia aged ≥2 years were evaluated with the Capacity Profile, a standardised method to classify additional care needs according to type and intensity. Based on a semi-structured interview, current impairments in five domains of body functions were determined. The intensity of additional care was assessed (from 0, usual care, to 5, total dependence). Results: Forty-four patients with classical galactosaemia, 18 males and 26 females (median age 15 years, range 2–49 years), were included. There was a wide spectrum of impairments in mental functions. Motor function impairments were present in four patients, and mild speech impairments in eight patients. Additional care for sensory functions was uncommon. All patients needed a diet, which care is scored in the physical health domain. Conclusions: Apart from the diet all patients need, classical galactosaemia leads to the need for additional care mainly in the domains of mental functions and speech and voice functions.Implications for rehabilitationThe Capacity Profile is a useful tool to demonstrate additional care needs in classical galactosaemia.In classical galactosaemia additional care is mostly indicated by mental impairments and speech and voice functions.One-fifth of patients have impairment of speech and voice functions at time of the study, and half of all patients had received speech therapy in childhood.Over 70% of patients need additional care/help due to impairment of mental functions, ranging from coaching due to social vulnerability to full day care.

description: The very-forward energy production in hadron collisions is of paramount importance for the understanding of ultra-high energy cosmic ray air showers. The CASTOR calorimeter of CMS is located at $-6.6 < η< -5.2$ in the phase-space where the peak of energy is deposited at LHC. The composition and characteristics of the particles in this phase-space have a determining impact on the formation of air shower cascades. An overview of various energy measurements performed with CASTOR is reported and possible implications for cosmic ray physics are outlined.

Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)

description: We present a novel method of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) within the smoothed particle hydrodynamics scheme using the Geometric Density average force expression (GDSPH). GDSPH has recently been shown to reduce the leading order errors and greatly improve the accuracy near density discontinuities, eliminating surface tension effects. Here, we extend the study to investigate how SPMHD benefits from this method. We implement ideal MHD in the Gasoline2 and Changa codes with both GDSPH and traditional SPH (TSPH) schemes. An constrained hyperbolic divergence cleaning scheme is employed to control the divergence error, and a switch for artificial resistivity with minimized dissipation is used. We test the codes with a large suite of MHD tests, and show that in all problems the results are comparable or improved over previous SPMHD implementations. While both GDSPH and TSPH perform well with relatively smooth or highly supersonic flows, GDSPH shows significant improvements in the presence of strong discontinuities and large dynamic scales. In particular, when applied to an astrophysical problem of the collapse of a magnetized cloud, GDSPH realistically captures the development of a magnetic tower and jet launching in the weak-field regime, and exhibit fast convergence with resolution, while TSPH failed to do so. Our new method shows qualitatively similar results to the ones from the meshless finite mass/volume (MFM/MFV) schemes within the Gizmo code, while remaining computationally less expensive.

 Comments. There are presently 17 described species accommodated within Aleurothrixus (Martin & Mound, 2007), generally of neotropical origin, with several undescribed species represented in the BMNH and USNM collections. Three Asian species originally described in Aleurothrixus were transferred to a new genus, Asiothrixus, by Dubey et al. (2010). Aleurothrixus comprises species characterised by the dorsal disc being almost completely separated from the submarginal area by a fold, the margin with coarse teeth each with a basal gland, and the vasiform orifice subcircular with lingular tip concealed (Fig. 3). Puparia of most species occur in groups under leaves, often secreting copious waxy “wool” (Fig. 44).

description: A geometric torsion (GT) underlying a $2$-form in a $(4$$+$$1)$-dimensional $U(1)$ gauge theory is revisited with a renewed perspective for a non-perturbation (NP) gravity in $d$$=$$4$. In the context we provide evidences to a holographic correspondence between a bulk GT and a boundary NP gravity. Interestingly the Killing symmetries in General Relativity (GR) are shown to provide a subtle clue to the quantum gravity. The NP gravity is shown to incorporate a $(B_{2}$$ \wedge $$F_{2})$ coupling, sourced by a non-Newtonian potential, to an exact geometry in GR. Remarkably the NP correction is identified as a mass dipole and is shown to be sourced by a propagating GT. A detailed analysis is performed in a bulk GT to show a modification to the precession of perihelion in a boundary NP gravity. The perspective of an electromagnetic (EM) wave in the bulk is investigated to reveal a spin $2$ (mass-less) quantum sourced by an apparent 2-form. A Goldstone scalar is absorbed by the apparent 2-form to describe a massive $2$-form in the coulomb gauge. Alternately a Goldstone scalar together with a local degree of GT and 2-form is argued to govern a composite (mass-less) spin $2$ particle in Lorentz gauge. Both the scenarios, further ensure a graviton in a boundary NP gravity. A qualitative analysis reveals a (non-interacting) graviton underlying a plausible gravitational wave/particle duality in NP gravity.

description: One of the key issues in unraveling the mystery of high Tc superconductivity in the cuprates is to understand the normal state outside the superconducting dome. Here we perform scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements on a heavily overdoped, non-superconducting (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CuO6+x cuprate. Spectroscopic imaging reveals dispersive quasiparticle interferences and the Fourier transforms uncover the evolution of momentum space topology. More interestingly, we observe nanoscale patches of static charge order with sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) periodicity. Both the dispersive quasiparticle interference and static charge order can be qualitatively explained by theoretical calculations, which reveal the unique electronic structure of strongly overdoped cuprate.

 Bemisia (Roucasia) medinae Gómez-Menor, 1954: 369.
 Bemisia medinae (Gómez-Menor) Danzig, 1964: 326.
 Distribution in the Canary Islands: TENERIFE: Barranco del Agua, Barranco Badajoz, Barranco de los Cochinos, Barranco de las Moradas, Erjos, Las Mercedes. LA GOMERA: El Cedro. Elsewhere: known only from the Canarian archipelago.
 Host plants in the Canary Islands: Ageratina adenophora, Hypericum canariense and Hypericum grandifolium.
 Comments: This species clearly belongs to the Bemisia afer complex. The puparia possess a distinctive pigmentation pattern (Fig. 61) that Gómez-Menor regarded as an important character. Also, in contrast to other Bemisia afer - group morphs that are usually scattered widely, B. medinae usually occurs in crowded colonies under leaves of the host plant. If it had not already been formally described by Gómez-Menor we would have treated this as another morphological form of B. afer here. Male and female adult body colour and pigmentation are shown in Figs 72 and 73, respectively.
 Gómez-Menor described Bemisia medinae from the laurel forest in Tenerife, from an “unknown plant amongst trees of Laurus canariensis [now L. novocanariensis]”. Type material deposited at MNCN has been studied, as well as duplicate dry plant material. Hypericum grandifolium Choisy (Fam. Hypericaceae) is endemic in the Canary Islands and Madeira. It is a plant with a very wide altitudinal range (up to 2000 metres) and usually is present in open habitats and the edges of humid juniper-olive woodlands, the evergreen laurisilva and the pine forest. Examination of the original dry plant material suggests that H. grandifolium is the “unknown plant” stated by Gómez-Menor to be the host of B. medinae.

On Boundaries of ε-neighbourhoods of planar sets
Creators: name: Timperi, Kalle
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: We study the geometric and topological structure of boundaries of ε-neighbourhoods of compact planar sets. The main contribution of the thesis is the development of a novel geometric framework for analysing the local properties of the boundaries of ε-neighbourhoods. We utilise the established concept of a tangent cone from set-valued analysis in our definition of outward directions, which allow us to investigate the tangential properties of the boundary by linking them to the characteristic geometry of ε-neighbourhoods. The technical foundation of the thesis is what we call the local contribution property, which intuitively asserts that the local geometry near a boundary point is completely determined by points that lie at most in two different directions relative to x. This result allows us to define local boundary representations, which provide a local description of the boundary. These are finite collections of graphs of Lipschitz-continuous functions, defined in local coordinate systems that are adapted to the orientations of so-called extremal outward directions. This tool turns out to provide a powerful technical framework for analysing also global properties of the boundary. Using these technical tools, we prove that the boundary points can be classified into smooth points and eight distinct categories of singularities. This classification permits a detailed analysis of the cardinalities and topological properties of the different types of singularities. We provide examples that show that so-called wedge singularities can lie densely on boundary segments that have positive one-dimensional Hausdorff measure. One of our main results is that the set of so-called chain singularities is closed and totally disconnected, which implies that it is nowhere dense on the boundary. Leveraging this analysis, we show that for a compact set E and ε > 0, the boundary is the disjoint union of a possibly uncountable set I of inaccessible singularities and an at most countably infinite collection J of Jordan curves. Finally, we prove the existence of curvature almost everywhere on the Jordan curve subsets of the boundary by showing that the derivatives of the functions constituting the local boundary representations are of bounded variation, and thus have a well-defined derivative at almost every point. Our work extends the existing literature by providing a complete classification of possible boundary geometries that applies generally for any compact set E and ε > 0. As opposed to the existing work on the topic, we approach the properties of the boundary from a geometric viewpoint, motivated by the need to understand the geometric and dynamical properties of ε-neighbourhoods appearing in set-valued dynamical systems as models for random dynamical systems with bounded noise.

description: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of selected socioeconomic factors on microlending in the Alabama Black Belt. It used logistic regression to identify the link between borrower socioeconomic characteristics and loan repayment rate from existing and previous microloan programs. It was hypothesized that borrower gender, age, level of education, household income, and credit score has a major impact on loan repayment. The results of study indicated that only credit score had a statistically significant effect on loan repayment. This finding underscores the importance of credit score and credit repair management in existing microloan programs, given the socioeconomic characteristics of microloan program participants in the Alabama Black Belt. It was recommended that microloan programs should incorporate the requisite personal finance management outreach and Extension components due to the need to rebuild credit for those interested in microloans for personal or business use.

description: The greenhouse horticulture sector in the Netherlands is experiencing serious competitive issues. A combination of factors such as excess production, insufficient local demand, declining exports and retail price pressure has made it impossible for growers to make any profits. In response to this situation, a group of 10 green house vegetable (tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants and bell peppers) growers has agreed to join hands and work towards creating a new business model. To formalize this cooperation they have agreed to work on creating a joint brand and named it “tHuismerk” At this stage they need help in developing a differentiating and profitable business model for “tHuismerk”. To assist in this, the authors have developed a theoretical framework and have explained how the components of the theoretical framework can be used to develop an executable business model. The application of this framework is presented in the context of a real case study. Participating students are tasked with developing the business model using this background information and the theoretical framework presented in this paper. Four concrete questions have been provided to provide guidance.

description: The Kronecker product is an important matrix operation with a wide range of applications in supporting fast linear transforms, including signal processing, graph theory, quantum computing and deep learning. In this work, we introduce a generalization of the fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss projection for embedding vectors with Kronecker product structure, the Kronecker fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform (KFJLT). The KFJLT reduces the embedding cost to an exponential factor of the standard fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform (FJLT)'s cost when applied to vectors with Kronecker structure, by avoiding explicitly forming the full Kronecker products. We prove that this computational gain comes with only a small price in embedding power: given $N = \prod_{k=1}^d n_k$, consider a finite set of $p$ points in a tensor product of $d$ constituent Euclidean spaces $\bigotimes_{k=d}^{1}\mathbb{R}^{n_k} \subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$. With high probability, a random KFJLT matrix of dimension $N \times m$ embeds the set of points up to multiplicative distortion $(1\pm \varepsilon)$ provided by $m \gtrsim \varepsilon^{-2} \cdot \log^{2d - 1} (p) \cdot \log N$. We conclude by describing a direct application of the KFJLT to the efficient solution of large-scale Kronecker-structured least squares problems for fitting the CP tensor decomposition.

description: Amphorites gen. nov.
 Type species. Stomacontion pungapunga Lowry & Stoddart, 1983.
 Etymology. Based on the Latin word amphora, referring to the shape of the maxilla 1 palp.
 Diagnosis. Head partially concealed by coxa 1. Maxilla 1 palp article 1 large, swollen proximally. Maxilliped basis (inner plate) not greatly enlarged; outer plate distomedial margin smooth. Body pereon and pleon without dorsal projections. Uropod 3 uniramous or without rami. Telson hemiacetabulate.
 Included species. Amphorites annasona sp. nov.; A. hurleyi (Lowry & Stoddart, 1983); A. pungapunga (Lowry & Stoddart, 1983).
 Remarks. The new genus Amphorites differs from Stomacontion by the distinctive vase-shaped palp of maxilla 1, a character it shares with Conicostoma. The formation of Amphorites lessens the character variability of Stomacontion and stabilizes the conicostomatine genera.

Dynamical evolution driven by bars and interactions : Input from numerical simulations

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss the evolution of a disc galaxy due to the formation of a bar and, subsequently, a peanut. After the formation stage there is still considerable evolution, albeit slower. In purely stellar cases the pattern speed of the bar decreases with time, while its amplitude grows. However, if a considerable gaseous component is present in the disc, the pattern speed may increase with time, while the bar strength may decrease. In some cases the gas can be brought sufficiently close to the center to create a strong central concentration, which, in turn, may modify the properties of the bar. More violent evolution can take place during interactions, so that some disc substructures can be either formed or destroyed in a time scale which is small compared to a Hubble time. These include spirals, bars, bridges, tails, rings, thick discs and bulges. In some cases interactions may lead to mergings. We briefly review comparisons of the properties of merger remnants with those of elliptical galaxies, both for the case of pairwise mergings and the case of multiple mergings.

description: The Mineralogy Concept Inventory (MCI) is a statistically validated 18-question assessment that can be used to measure learning gains in introductory mineralogy courses. Development of the MCI was an iterative process involving expert consultation, student interviews, assessment deployment, and statistical analysis. Experts at the two universities at which the MCI was developed were consulted in detail to identify key concepts in their mineralogy courses. Additional experts who have recently taught introductory mineralogy courses in postsecondary institutions were consulted via an online survey. These experts (n = 75) indicated that, on average, 87% of their total course content is included within the 7 key concepts targeted by the MCI. Think-aloud interviews with students were conducted to generate response options written in student language, providing the greatest chance that students will understand the questions as intended. The validity and reliability of the questions on the MCI were evaluated using Rasch analysis to ensure the assessment includes questions that range from high to low difficulty, that it can distinguish between low- and high-performing students, and that the test is not biased toward any subset of the population.

description: Die MMR-D liegt zwei hereditären Krankheitsbildern, dem Lynch Syndrom (monoallelisch) und der konstitutionellen MMR-D (biallelisch), zugrunde. Aufgrund der hohen Immunogenität stellen diese Tumoren ideale Zielstrukturen für immuntherapeutische Interventionen dar. Anhand des MLH1-knockout Modells wurde die Wirksamkeit einer kombinierten Chemo-Immuntherapie eruiert. Es zeigte sich, dass die Tumorinzidenz und das -wachstum sowohl prophylaktisch als auch therapeutisch verzögert wurden, bedingt durch die positive Modulation des Immunsystems und die transiente Reduktion immunsuppressiver Zellen.

description: In this paper we give, for the first time, a qualitative description of the asymptotic dynamics of a class of non-tilted spatially homogeneous (SH) cosmologies, the so-called exceptional Bianchi cosmologies, which are of Bianchi type VI$_{-1/9}$. This class is of interest for two reasons. Firstly, it is generic within the class of non-tilted SH cosmologies, being of the same generality as the models of Bianchi types VIII and IX. Secondly, it is the SH limit of a generic class of spatially inhomogeneous $G_{2}$ cosmologies. Using the orthonormal frame formalism and Hubble-normalized variables, we show that the exceptional Bianchi cosmologies differ from the non-exceptional Bianchi cosmologies of type VI$_{h}$ in two significant ways. Firstly, the models exhibit an oscillatory approach to the initial singularity and hence are not asymptotically self-similar. Secondly, at late times, although the models are asymptotically self-similar, the future attractor for the vacuum-dominated models is the so-called Robinson-Trautman SH model instead of the vacuum SH plane wave models.

Dust emission and star formation toward a redshift 5.5 QSO

description: We report observations of the low-luminosity z = 5.50 quasar RD J030117+002025 (RD0301 hereafter) at 250 GHz (1.20mm) using the Max-Planck Millimeter Bolometer (MAMBO) array at the IRAM 30-meter telescope. The quasar was detected with a 1.2mm flux density of 0.87 +-0.20 mJy. The lack of detectable 1.4 GHz radio emission indicates that the millimeter emission is of thermal nature, making RD0301 the most distant dust-emission source known. When matching a 50K grey body thermal far-infrared (FIR) spectrum to the observed millimeter flux we imply a FIR luminosity ~4x10^12 L_sun, which is comparable to the quasar's optical luminosity. If the FIR luminosity arises from massive star formation, the implied star formation rate would be ~600 M_sun/yr, comparable to that of the starburst galaxies which dominate the average star formation and FIR emission in the early Universe. The FIR luminosity of RD0301 is close to the average of that found in optically far more luminous high-redshift quasars. The comparably high millimeter to optical brightness ratio of RD0301 is further evidence for that there is no strong correlation between the optical and millimeter brightness of high-redshift quasars, supporting the idea that in high-redshift quasars the dust is not heated by the AGN, but by starbursts.

Qubits as Parafermions

description: Qubits are neither fermions nor bosons. A Fock space description of qubits leads to a mapping from qubits to parafermions: particles with a hybrid boson-fermion quantum statistics. We study this mapping in detail, and use it to provide a classification of the algebras of operators acting on qubits. These algebras in turn classify the universality of different classes of physically relevant qubit-qubit interaction Hamiltonians. The mapping is further used to elucidate the connections between qubits, bosons, and fermions. These connections allow us to share universality results between the different particle types. Finally, we use the mapping to study the quantum computational power of certain anisotropic exchange Hamiltonians. In particular, we prove that the XY model with nearest-neighbor interactions only is not computationally universal. We also generalize previous results about universal quantum computation with encoded qubits to codes with higher rates.

description: The objective of this study was to measure stress levels in broilers raised on a pasture production system (PPS) and a conventional production system (CPS) by evaluating lymphoid organ weights, white blood cell profiles (WBCP), total white blood cell counts (TWBC), and heterophil to lymphocyte ratios (HLR). Broilers were brooded indoors for 3 weeks then divided into 2 groups; one placed on pasture while the other remained indoors. Blood was collected at weeks 3, 5, and 7 via brachial venipuncture. After 49 days, birds were slaughtered and lymphoid organs harvested. Results showed no differences between treatments for lymphoid organs, TWBC, or WBCP. Eosinophils were higher (P < 0.05) in CPS (333.33) compared to PPS birds (148.00) at week 5. The HLR was lower (P < 0.05) in PPS broilers at week 5 (0.40) than weeks 3 (0.44) and 7 (0.43). The PPS broilers experienced less stress overall than CPS birds.

description: Spectrum database-based cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have become the de facto approach for enabling unlicensed secondary users (SUs) to identify spectrum vacancies in channels owned by licensed primary users (PUs). Despite its merits, the use of spectrum databases incurs privacy concerns for both SUs and PUs. Single-server private information retrieval (PIR) has been used as the main tool to address this problem. However, such techniques incur extremely large communication and computation overheads while offering only computational privacy. Besides, some of these PIR protocols have been broken. In this paper, we show that it is possible to achieve high efficiency and (information-theoretic) privacy for both PUs and SUs in database-driven CRN with multi-server PIR. Our key observation is that, by design, database-driven CRNs comprise multiple databases that are required, by the Federal Communications Commission, to synchronize their records. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to exploit this observation to harness multi-server PIR technology to guarantee an optimal privacy for both SUs and PUs, thanks to the unique properties of database-driven CRN . We showed, analytically and empirically with deployments on actual cloud systems, that multi-server PIR is an ideal tool to provide efficient location privacy in database-driven CRN.

Spin polarised magnetized cylinder in torsioned spacetime

description: A Spin-polarised cylindrically symmetric exact class of solutions endowed with magnetic fields in Einstein-Cartan-Maxwell gravity is obtained. Application of matching conditions to this interior solution having an exterior as Einstein's vacuum solution shows that for this class of metrics the Riemann-Cartan (RC) rotation vanishes which makes the solution static. Therefore we end up with a magnetized static spin polarised cylinder where the pressure along the symmetry axis is negative.

description: We propose a novel neural network architecture for detecting intrusions on the CAN bus. The Controller Area Network (CAN) is the standard communication method between the Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of automobiles. However, CAN lacks security mechanisms and it has recently been shown that it can be attacked remotely. Hence, it is desirable to monitor CAN traffic to detect intrusions. In order to detect both, known and unknown intrusion scenarios, we consider a novel unsupervised learning approach which we call CANet. To our knowledge, this is the first deep learning based intrusion detection system (IDS) that takes individual CAN messages with different IDs and evaluates them in the moment they are received. This is a significant advancement because messages with different IDs are typically sent at different times and with different frequencies. Our method is evaluated on real and synthetic CAN data. For reproducibility of the method, our synthetic data is publicly available. A comparison with previous machine learning based methods shows that CANet outperforms them by a significant margin.
Resolving the Spin Crisis: Mergers and Feedback

description: We model in simple terms the angular momentum (J) problem of galaxy formation in CDM, and identify the key elements of a scenario that can solve it. The buildup of J is modeled via dynamical friction and tidal stripping in mergers. This reveals how over-cooling in incoming halos leads to transfer of J from baryons to dark matter (DM), in conflict with observations. By incorporating a simple recipe of supernova feedback, we match the observed J distribution in disks. Gas removal from small incoming halos, which make the low-J component of the product, eliminates the low-J baryons. Partial heating and puffing-up of the gas in larger incoming halos, combined with tidal stripping, reduces the J loss of baryons. This implies a higher baryonic spin for lower mass halos. The observed low baryonic fraction in dwarf galaxies is used to calibrate the characteristic velocity associated with supernova feedback, yielding v_fb sim 100 km/s, within the range of theoretical expectations. The model then reproduces the observed distribution of spin parameter among dwarf and bright galaxies, as well as the J distribution inside these galaxies. This suggests that the model captures the main features of a full scenario for resolving the spin crisis.
