description: Networks with a given degree distribution may be very resilient to one type of failure or attack but not to another. The goal of this work is to determine network design guidelines which maximize the robustness of networks to both random failure and intentional attack while keeping the cost of the network (which we take to be the average number of links per node) constant. We find optimal parameters for: (i) scale free networks having degree distributions with a single power-law regime, (ii) networks having degree distributions with two power-law regimes, and (iii) networks described by degree distributions containing two peaks. Of these various kinds of distributions we find that the optimal network design is one in which all but one of the nodes have the same degree, $k_1$ (close to the average number of links per node), and one node is of very large degree, $k_2 \sim N^{2/3}$, where $N$ is the number of nodes in the network.

description: We have analyzed the expressed manifestation of the anisotropy of surface energy density in the dynamics of ultrathin nanowires, which break up into disjointed clusters when annealed below their melting temperature. The breakup process is studied for different temperatures and orientations of the nanowire axis relative to its internal crystal structure using the Monte Carlo kinetic method. We have also presented an approximate analytical model of the instability of nanowires. Generally, the interpretation of experimental results refers to the theoretical model developed by Nichols and Mullins, which is based on conceptions about the Rayleigh instability of liquid jets. In both cases, the theories - which do not take into account the anisotropy of surface energy density - predict the breakup of a nanowire/liquid jet with radius r into fragments with an average length Λ=9r. However, the observed value, Λ/r, often deviates from 9 either to lower values or to substantially greater ones (up to 24-30). Our results explain various observed features of the breakup and the significant variations in the values of its parameter Λ/r depending on experimental conditions. In particular, the ambiguous role of exchange by atoms of the surface of a nanowire with the surrounding layer of free atoms formed as a result of their rather intensive sublimation, which occurs in a number of cases, has been investigated. We have shown that this exchange can lead both to a decrease, and to a significant increase, in the parameter Λ/r. The obtained results could be potentially useful in applications such as the development of optical waveguides based on ordered nanoparticles chains.

description: Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has become a standard technique to map localized surface plasmon resonances with a nanometer spatial and a sufficient energy resolution over the last 15 years. However, no experimental work discussing the influence of experimental conditions during the measurement has been published up to now. We present an experimental study of the influence of the primary beam energy and the collection semi-angle on the plasmon resonances measurement by STEM-EELS. To explore the influence of these two experimental parameters we study a series of gold rods and gold bow-tie and diabolo antennas. We discuss the impact on experimental characteristics which are important for successful detection of the plasmon peak in EELS, namely: the intensity of plasmonic signal, the signal to background ratio, and the signal to zero-loss peak ratio. We show that the best results are obtained using a medium primary beam energy, in our case 120 keV, and an arbitrary collection semi-angle, as it is not a critical parameter at this primary beam energy. Our instructive overview will help microscopists in the field of plasmonics to arrange their experiments.

description: Due to the excessive use of natural resources in the contemporary world, the importance of ecological and environmental condition modeling has increased. Wetlands and cities represent the natural and artificial strategic areas that affect ecosystem conditions. Changes in the ecological conditions of these areas have a great impact on the conditions of the global ecosystem. Therefore, modeling spatiotemporal variations of the ecological conditions in these areas is critical. This study was aimed at comparing degrees of variation among surface ecological conditions due to natural and unnatural factors. Consequently, the surface ecological conditions of Gomishan city and Gomishan wetland in Iran were modeled for a period of 30 years, and the spatiotemporal variations were evaluated and compared with each other. To this end, 20 Landsat 5, 7, and 8, and 432 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), monthly land surface temperature (LST) (MOD11C3) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) (MOD13C3) products were utilized. The surface ecological conditions were modeled according to the Remote Sensing-based Ecological Index (RSEI), and the spatiotemporal variation of the RSEI values in the study area (Gomishan city, Gomishan wetland) were evaluated and compared with each other. According to MODIS products, the mean of the LST and NDVI variance values for the study area (Gomishan city, Gomishan wetland) were obtained to be 6.5 °C (2.1, 12.1) and 0.009 (0.005, 0.013), respectively. The highest LST and NDVI temporal variations were found for Gomishan wetland near the Caspian Sea. According to Landsat images, Gomishan wetland and Gomishan city have the highest and lowest temporal variations in surface biophysical characteristics, respectively. The mean RSEI for the study area (Gomishan city, Gomishan wetland) was 0.43 (0.65, 0.29), respectively. Additionally, the mean Coefficient of Variation (CV) of RSEI for the study area (Gomishan city, Gomishan wetland) was 0.10 (0.88, 0.51), respectively. The surface ecological conditions of Gomishan city were worse than those of the Gomishan wetland at all dates. Temporal variations in the surface ecological conditions of Gomishan wetland were greater than those of the study area and Gomishan city. These results can provide useful and effective information for environmental planning and decision-making to improve ecological conditions, protect the environment, and support sustainable ecosystem development.

description: Using the DEA analysis method, on the basis of the national panel data from 2002 to 2014, this paper made a comparative analysis on the rice production performance before and after the implementation of direct grain subsidy policy, and made an empirical analysis on the relationship between the direct grain subsidy policy and the changes in the rice production performance. The results showed that the effect of the direct grain subsidy policy on promoting the rice production performance is declining year by year, largely because drop of scale efficiency. Besides, there are problems of serious redundancy in agricultural subsidy, unreasonable resource allocation, leading to low performance and resource waste of rice production.
An exploration of factors potentially associated with the development of childhood feeding disorders

description: Researchers have struggled to define and classify childhood feeding disorders. Literature is limited in its examination of the prevalence, etiology, and symptomology of feeding disorders. The purpose of the current study was to explore factors related to parent and family attitudes, behaviors, and practices that may be associated with the development of a childhood feeding disorder. The current study examined the following three categories of factors: extreme parental attitudes and rules regarding meal and feeding time for children, the lack of regular family meals, and parents’ personal eating attitudes and behaviors. Additionally, the current study explored whether the presence of a feeding disorder during childhood was associated with the later development of an eating disorder during adolescence/adulthood. The sample consisted of 143 mothers and fathers whose children had either clinically significant feeding disorders, or little to no history of food refusal. The data was archival and was based on the parents’ completion of a structured diagnostic interview followed by a series of self-report questionnaires. Findings from the current study suggest that the categories of factors examined are not significantly associated with the development of a childhood feeding disorder. Further, childhood feeding disorders do not seem to be associated with the development of an eating disorder later in life. The results of the current study should be reexamined once a universal diagnostic system for feeding disorders is agreed upon by professionals in the field. Future studies should focus on examining which classification system best represents feeding disorders and exploring the more basic principles of childhood feeding disorders such as prevalence, sociodemographic influencers, and comorbidity rates.

description: Tree plantations have expanded rapidly during the last decades, specially in Asia and South America, and Chile has shown one of the largest increases in tree plantations in the world. The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamic and factors statistically associated with the expansion of tree plantations in two coastal basins in south-central Chile. We used logistic regression and a multimodel inference approach to assess the association of 13 location factors with tree plantation expansion in two periods (1987–2001; 2001–2015). The area of tree plantations increased by 292% and 196% in the Budi and Lingue basins, respectively. The presence of agriculture fields before conversion to tree plantations showed the greatest effect in both basins, followed by the suitability of the soil for forestry. Likewise, tree plantations were highly associated with the replacement of native vegetation, contributing to ongoing deforestation, and changes in forest policy increased the expansion in indigenous land.

description: În comunicarea propusă este elucidată politica organelor de stat sovietice şi de partid cu privire la procedurile de înregistrare a naşterii copilului şi a căsătoriei în perioada postbelică în RSS Moldovenească. Aceste proceduri au suportat, în rezultatul implementării în RSSM a ideologiei comuniste şi a legislaţiei sovietice, un şir de modificări. Transformările promovate la nivel administrativ prin adoptarea actelor normative a avut drept consecinţă separarea Bisericii de procedura legală de înregistrare a actelor de stare civilă. Statul a reuşit doar parţial să excludă biserica din viaţa familiilor, prin transferarea obligativităţii înregistrării căsătoriei şi a altor acte de stare civilă la organele specializate civile. Însă o parte însemnată din populaţie continua
să aibă sentimente religioase, să practice ritualuri creștine, obiceiuri de
familie şi să frecventeze biserica, deşi condiţiile socio-culturale şi politice nu erau prielnice. Vom constata că statul sovietic a reuşit doar parţial să îndepărteze biserica de familie în RSSM. În pofida tendinţei de a implanta familiei principiile colectivismului socialist, familia în mare parte a păstrat normele şi valorile tradiţionale de comunicare interpersonală caracteristice ei. Faptul că familia a reuşit să păstreze în arealul său valorile tradiţionale l-am putea explica prin caracterul primar al relaţiilor de familie, prin faptul că relaţiile interpersonale în cadrul familiei se bazează pe valori general-umane înalte, pe afecţiune şi pe instinctele paterne şi materne. Aceste valori nu au putut fi dezlocuite de idealurile comuniste ale colectivismului şi fidelităţii faţă de ideologia comunistă şi de partid. În afară de acestea, familia, în calitate de instituit social, se constituie şi se transformă nu prin indicaţii şi ordine ale autorităţilor. Familia s-a adaptat la unele realităţi socio-economice şi politice, a acceptat unele obiceiuri noi şi norme actuale, aduse de timpuri sau implantate pe cale propagandistică sau administrativă, dar a păstrat şi numeroase obiceiuri şi valori religioase şi tradiţionale.

description: It is a difficult engineering task to create distinct solid state single photon sources which nonetheless emit photons at the same frequency. It is also hard to create entangled photon pairs from quantum dots. In the spirit of quantum engineering we propose a simple optical circuit which can, in the right circumstances, make frequency distinguishable photons frequency indistinguishable. Our circuit can supply a downstream solution to both problems, opening up a large window of allowed frequency mismatches between physical mechanisms. The only components used are spectrum analysers/prisms and an Acousto-Optic Modulator. We also note that an Acousto-Optic Modulator can be used to obtain Hong-Ou-Mandel two photon interference effects from the frequency distinguishable photons generated by distinct sources.

description: Precision measurements comparing the fundamental properties of conjugate particles and antiparticles constitute stringent tests of CPT invariance. We review recent precision measurements of the BASE collaboration, which improved the uncertainty of the proton and antiproton magnetic moments and the comparison of the proton-to-antiproton charge-to-mass ratio. These measurements constitute the most stringent tests of CPT invariance with antiprotons. Further, we discuss the improved limit on the antiproton lifetime based on the storage of a cloud of antiprotons in the unique BASE reservoir trap. Based on these recent advances, we discuss ongoing technical developments which comprise a coupling trap for the sympathetic cooling of single (anti-)protons with laser-cooled beryllium ions, a transportable trap to relocate antiproton measurements into a high-precision laboratory, and a new experiment to measure the magnetic moment of helium-3 ions, which will improve absolute precision magnetometry.

description: We study the interplay between Coulomb blockade and the Kondo effect in quantum dots. We use a self-consistent scheme which describes mesoscopic devices in terms of a collective phase variable (slave rotor) and quasiparticle degrees of freedom. In the strong Coulomb blockade regime, we recover the description of metallic islands in terms of a phase only action. For a dot with well-separated levels, our method leads to the Kondo effect. We identify the regime where a crossover between the Coulomb blockade regime at high temperatures and the formation of a Kondo resonance at lower temperature takes place. In addition, we find that for a dot with many overlapping resonances, an {\it inverse crossover} can take place. A Kondo resonance which involves many levels within the dot is first formed, and this coherent state is suppressed by correlation effects at lower temperatures. A narrower Kondo resonance, due to a single level in the dot can emerge at even lower temperatures.

description: Each year about 1,500 to 2,000 acres of sweet potatoes are grown in Barbados as a crop in z-ota tion with sugar cane. Yields range from 1 1/2 to 6 tons per acre. This is regarded as Poor to moderate. It is felt that the traditional. system of planting sweet pota toes is 􀀀m􀀀a􀀀i􀀀n􀀀l􀀀~􀀀' responsible for such low yields. .. Research work on variety testing, fertilizer and population density studies has been done. It appears from work done between 1960-65 that yields can mainly be improved by increasing plant populations and by improved varieties. The yields from some 10 local V'arie.ties and 5 introduced varieties were tested and results indicate that the local varieties, with one exception, are sup,erior in yields and quality. With plant spacings of 12", 18", 24" and 30" on 5' banks, the 􀀀l􀀀~􀀀' spacing gave the highest yields, but still better yields were obtained with 2?' to 3&' banks.

description: This study examines the role of museums in communities as arbiters of social inclusion. It seeks to compel the need for museums to become community-centric in order to broaden their audience to all community members, increase their relevancy, and fulfill their requirements as non-profit institutions. This research examines how social inclusion and exclusion enters the museum, resistance to and support of social inclusion in museums, and challenges to becoming more socially inclusive. This study concludes with recommendations on researching and evaluating community needs, building social inclusion internally, utilizing advisory councils, and creating socially inclusive programming. A series of examples and case studies of museums working towards building social inclusion are used to illustrate ideas and recommendations.

description: Scholars who study environmental problems across the social sciences often require a measure of the lens through which people filter information. Many scales have been created to serve in this analytical role, including the New Ecological Paradigm, the Connectedness to Nature Scale, environmentalist identity and environmental movement identity, and the cultural cognition scales. To our knowledge, no study compares them in a single sample. We used a national Internet sample to examine the measures’ predictive powers in explaining a range of environmental behaviors. Connectedness to Nature and environmentalist identity were the strongest predictors of pro-environmental behavior in our sample, and our findings also suggested a difference in private versus public behaviors. Environmentalist identity was slightly stronger than the Connectedness to Nature in predicting public behaviors, while Connectedness to Nature was the strongest predictor of private behaviors. The New Ecological Paradigm and the cultural cognition scales were weaker predictors.

description: The yam (Dioscorea!l!1!) is a staple, low priced carbohydra te foodstruff in Barbados! and currently some 15,000 tons are produced annually as a c tach crop from land which is in preparation for sugar cane. An export trade has been started, which has considerable potential. Planting of yams has hitherto normally been at 5 ft. x 5 ft. (25 sq. ft. per plant), the snme as for sugar cane, but experiments in the 1965-66 season hllve clearly demonstrated that on a wide range of soils and under a 􀀀r􀀀a􀀀~􀀀g􀀀e of rainfall conditions, closer spacing would give higher yields per acre. In fact, no competition between plants could be detected until the territory per plant was reduced to 15 to 20 sq. ft.: at higher planting densities the yield per plant and the size of tubers was diminished (the smaller, better-shaped tubers resulting were more desirable for export), but the yield per acre increased within the, range of the experiment, i.e. 1,400 to 8,000 plants per acre. In commercial practice it appeared that anywhere in Barbados a density of about 3,500 plants per acre would be practicable for preparation land and would give substantially higher yields than are currently obtained. Comparisons of cuI tivars; showed that Puerto Rican Buck Yams, cuLtLva.r Barbados (from Trinidad) and Greneda Hunt all gave yields comparable with the commonly grown Crop Lisbon yams. Growth studies showed the general trend of development of the aerial parts and tubers; particularly notable was the very rapid z-ate of bulking of the tubers between the 26th and 36th weeks from planting - lending strong support to the planters' contention that yams should be planted in May.

Toward one-band superconductivity in MgB2

description: The two-gap model for superconductivity in MgB2 predicts that interband impurity scattering should be pair breaking, reducing the critical temperature. This is perhaps the only prediction of the model that has not been confirmed experimentally. It was previously shown theoretically that common substitutional impurities lead to negligible interband scattering - if the lattice is assumed not to distort. Here we report theoretical results showing that certain impurities can indeed produce lattice distortions sufficiently large to create measurable interband scattering. On this basis, we predict that isoelectronic codoping with Al and Na will provide a decisive test of the two-gap model.

description: Almost every year in Jamaica the presence of several diseases cause severe loss of yield to the bean crops planted throughout the island. The accompanying financial loss is usually great. This paper presents tne more important diseases of beans encountered' and methods that can be used to control them are given. Some of these diseases are aB follows: Powdery mildew Bacterial blight Anthracnose Leaf spots Rust Fusarium root rot Mosaic Root knot Oidium sp. Xanthomonas phaseoli Colletotr1chum lindemuthianum Cercospora spp. & Isariopsis sp. Uromyces ··appendicula1jus Fusarium spp. Virus Meloidogyne spp. Almost every year in Jamaica the presence of several diseases causes severe loss of yield to the bean crops planted throughout the island. The accompanying financial loss is usually great and the annual importation of dried beans (known locally as red peas) is tremendous. There is also substantial loss of string beans and it is not unusual for a farmer 'to be unable even to meet his planting expenses at the end of Ii bean crop. A number of diseases are carried in the bean seeds and certified disease-free seeds are not usually available. Farmers, therefore, save seeds from crop to crop or purchase plan'ting material from local agents. Disease agents are tLerefore carried from one crop to the next thus contributing to the low yields usually obtained. ,During 1963 work was started by the Plant Protection and the Agronomy DiVisions of the Ministry of Agriculture .and Lands to improve the production of beans in Jamaica by introducing new varieties and selecting seeds for propagation 􀀀~􀀀r􀀀o􀀀m apparently disease free plants. As a result of this work the Charlevoix variety which has a large very red seed was obtained and fairly large quantities are being grown by farmers. This varie'ty, though a heavy bearer, is also susceptible to many diseases and also carries some of the disease causing agents in the seeds.

description: Preconceived notions exist about small-scale farmers in the U.S. Beyond research on new and beginning farmers, few empirical studies have learned directly from small-scale farmers in the U.S. about their perspectives and experiences. By analyzing semi-structured interviews of small-scale farmers in Indiana, this study develops an in-depth understanding of the multi-dimensional motivations and experiences of small-scale farmers and the interconnected, multi-scalar challenges they face. The lack of social infrastructure to support small-scale farmers becomes paramount as they contend with dilemmas of engaging in pluriactivity, securing reliable labor, and navigating relationship building with consumers and peers for both short-term profits and long-term social capital. This study contributes to understanding how small-scale farmers’ motivations, experiences, challenges, and strategies interact to shape their relationship to the land, their farming enterprise, and their perception of and position in the larger agro-ecological-social-economic system, and highlights the need to improve social infrastructure to support small-scale farmers.

description: Loss of tomatoes by bird damage in Barbados frequently averages over fifty percent of mature fruit. Various methods have been tried to reduce this damage, including bird scares and nyLon netting covers. More recently an experiment has been done to test the effectiveness of bagging the entireplant with plastic. The control of insect pests in this system was less efficient than in "open" plants. The seasonal effects of fungal attacks and blossom end rot need further study in this system, as does the behaviour of different varieties.

description: In recent years, much focus has been put on employing technology to make novel behavioural aids for those with autism. Most of these are digital adaptations of tools used in standard behavioural therapy to enforce normative skills. These digital counterparts are often used outside of both the larger therapeutic context and the real world, in which the learned skills might apply. To address this, we are designing a system of automatic expression recognition on wearable devices that integrates directly into the families daily social interactions, to give children and their caregivers the tools and information they need to design their own holistic therapy. In order to develop a tool that will be truly useful to families, we proactively include children with autism and their families as co-designers in the development process. By providing an app and interface with interchangeable social feedback options, we aim to produce a framework for therapy that folds into their daily lives, tailored to their specific needs.

title: Constructions of teaching in an elite university: A case study
Creators: name: Dedos, Skarlatos G.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: A case study research was conducted to identify constructs of undergraduate teaching in an elite, research-intensive university. Qualitative data collection and analysis involving transcripts from over 40 semi-structured interviews with heads of teaching committees from each department or faculty of the university as well as heads of several other committees and other key stakeholders was carried out. In the analysis, use was made too of relevant archival materials, publicly available data from the university, and governmental reports or documents. The university offers courses to its undergraduate students that range from interdisciplinary to very discipline-specific and operates a system of personalised tuitions that is at the heart, and thereby defines, excellent teaching. The high quality of its students, who are attracted by the research renown of the university, is regarded as the trademark of the elite institution. Culturally, the sense-making that supports the procedures and structures of the university is based on the assumption that excellent teachers are intrinsically associated with excellent research. Consequently, teaching excellence is recognised but is less well rewarded or acknowledged as compared to research. Excellence in teaching is further constrained by organisation-wide arrangements in academic staff promotion that favour research. Operating in a super-complex contemporary higher education landscape, this elite university projects a "mirror-image" of itself both externally and internally, the mirror image itself being justified by the ongoing undergraduate achievements and application rates. Great reliance is placed on external examiners to monitor the high standards of achievement, the effect of which is to stifle collegiality about teaching. Institutional governance structures and procedures enable the organisation to operate a cybernetic (selfcorrecting) model of organisational control, where change is perceived as adjustments: incremental and subtle.
