 AbstractEslicarbazepine acetate (Zebinix®), a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker, is a once-daily, orally administered anti-seizure medication available in the EU for use as monotherapy in adults with newly diagnosed focal-onset seizures and as adjunctive therapy in adults, adolescents and children aged > 6 years with focal-onset seizures. In adult patients, adjunctive eslicarbazepine acetate was generally associated with a significant decrease in seizure frequency and an increase in responder rate compared with placebo. The drug was also an effective monotherapy agent in adult patients, demonstrating noninferiority to controlled-release carbamazepine, in terms of seizure freedom rates. In paediatric patients, eslicarbazepine acetate provided seizure control when administered as adjunctive therapy, with the benefits appearing to be dependent on age and dose. The antiepileptic efficacy of eslicarbazepine acetate as adjunctive therapy or as monotherapy was maintained during longer-term extension studies, with each extension study period being up to 2 years. Oral eslicarbazepine acetate was generally well tolerated when administered as adjunctive therapy or monotherapy in adult patients and when administered as adjunctive therapy in paediatric patients, with most adverse events being of mild or moderate intensity. In conclusion, with the convenience of once-daily administration, eslicarbazepine acetate is an effective and generally well-tolerated treatment option for adults, adolescents and children aged > 6 years with focal-onset seizures.

description: An airborne ultrasound imaging system (ABUS) was developed at KIT for reflection tomography. The prototype system consists of sixteen ultrasonic transducers surrounding a region of interest (ROI) of defined shape with a diameter of 50 cm. The transducers have a center frequency of 200 kHz and a bandwidth of 20 kHz. The prototype aims to demonstrate possible industrial applications for object classification and localization with airborne ultrasound. This paper is a detailed version of the previous publication in IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS) 2017 [1].

description: We present an analytic model for the sizes of voids in the galaxy distribution. Peebles and others have recently emphasized the possibility that the observed characteristics of voids may point to a problem in galaxy formation models, but testing these claims has been difficult without any clear predictions for their properties. In order to address such questions, we build a model to describe the distribution of galaxy underdensities. Our model is based on the "excursion set formalism," the same technique used to predict the dark matter halo mass function. We find that, because of bias, galaxy voids are typically significantly larger than dark matter voids and should fill most of the universe. We show that voids selected from catalogs of luminous galaxies should be larger than those selected from faint galaxies: the characteristic radii range from ~5-10h^{-1} Mpc for galaxies with absolute r-band magnitudes M_r-5 log(h) < -16 to -20. These are reasonably close to, though somewhat smaller than, the observed sizes. The discrepancy may result from the void selection algorithm or from their internal structure. We also compute the halo populations inside voids. We expect small haloes (M<10^{11} Msun) to be up to a factor of two less underdense than the haloes of normal galaxies. Within large voids, the mass function is nearly independent of the size of the underdensity, but finite-size effects play a significant role in small voids (R<7h^{-1} Mpc).

description: Several studies have analyzed the importance of biotical and abiotical aspects to be considered in the evaluation of agro-environmental policies. However, only a few of them have addressed the problem of targeting agro-environmental policies. In this paper, it has been hypothesized that different environmental objectives, considered as priority criteria in political strategies, would influence budgetary allocations and subsequently, political decision-making. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Approach and Linear Programming, this hypothesis has been proved by taking the agro-environmental measures in Poland after the accession to the European Union (EU) as an example. The results of this study can be helpful for solving the questions of planning, evaluation, and budgetary allocations in a more objective-oriented way in different countries.

description: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is NASA's latest space telescope dedicated to the discovery of transiting exoplanets around nearby stars. Besides the main goal of the mission, asteroseismology is an important secondary goal and very relevant for the high-quality time series that TESS will make during its two year all-sky survey. Using TESS for asteroseismology introduces strong timing requirements, especially for coherent oscillators. Although the internal clock on board TESS is precise in its own time, it might have a constant drift and will thus need calibration, or offsets might inadvertently be introduced. Here we present simultaneously ground- and space-based observations of primary eclipses of several binary systems in the Southern ecliptic hemisphere, used to verify the reliability of the TESS timestamps. From twelve contemporaneous TESS/ground observations we determined a time offset equal to 5.8 +/- 2.5 sec, in the sense that the Barycentric time measured by TESS is ahead of real time. The offset is consistent with zero at 2.3-sigma level. In addition, we used 405 individually measured mid-eclipse times of 26 eclipsing binary stars observed solely by TESS to test the existence of a potential drift with a monotonic growth (or decay) affecting the observations of all stars. We find a drift corresponding to sigma_drift = 0.009 +/- 0.015 sec/day. We find that the measured offset is of a size that will not become an issue for comparing ground-based and space data for coherent oscillations for most of the targets observed with TESS.

description: Effluents discharged by several industries, particularly the textile dyeing industry, have led to severe pollution of surface and groundwater sources and soils, which have ultimately affected the livelihood of the poor. Environmental problems in the agricultural sector caused by dyeing industrial pollution in Karur district have been discussed in this study. Averting Expenditure Approach and Contingent Valuation technique have been employed for this purpose. The farm income and distance between farm and polluted river have been found significant in deciding the value of polluted lands. The pollution averting expenditure incurred by the farmers increases with increase in the intensity of pollution. It is mainly the farm income that determines the pollution averting expenditure. The farmers in the study area are well aware about the detrimental effects of pollution and they have expressed their willingness to pay for internalizing the pollution effects even though it is mainly the duty of the polluters.

description: We define an invariant of graphs embedded in a three-manifold and a partition function for 2-complexes embedded in a triangulated four-manifold by specifying the values of variables in the Turaev-Viro and Crane-Yetter state sum models. In the case of the three-dimensional invariant, we prove a duality formula relating its Fourier transform to another invariant defined via the coloured Jones polynomial. In the case of the four-dimensional partition function, we give a formula for it in terms of a regular neighbourhood of the 2-complex and the signature of its complement. Some examples are computed which show that the partition function determines an invariant which can detect non locally-flat surfaces in a four-manifold.

description: We study the influence of in-medium transverse momentum broadening on observables of jet pairs produced in nuclear collisions. These dijets were obtained numerically via the Monte-Carlo simulations of nuclear collisions, where the partons within the colliding nuclei were described via unintegrated parton densities, and their subsequent propagation within the medium of a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). For jet-evolution in the QGP both, kicks transverse to the momentum of the incoming particle as well as medium induced radiation were considered. After favorable comparison of our results with experimental LHC-data on jet-quenching we make predictions for the decorrelation of dijets. In particular, we study deviations from a transverse momentum broadening that follows a Gaussian distribution.

description: The institutional credit has been conceived to play a pivotal role in the agricultural development of India. A large number of institutional agencies are involved in the disbursement of credit to agriculture. However, the persistence of money lenders in the rural credit market is still a major concern. In this backdrop, the present study has examined the performance of agricultural credit flow and has identified the determinants of increased use of institutional credit at the farm household level in India. The study based on the secondary data compiled from several sources, has revealed that the institutional credit to agriculture in real terms has increased tremendously during the past four decades. The structure of credit outlets has witnessed a significant change and commercial banks have emerged as the major source of institutional credit in recent years. But, the declining share of investment credit in the total credit may constrain the sustainable agricultural growth. The quantum of institutional credit availed by the farming households is affected by a number of socio-demographic factors which include education, farm size, family size, caste, gender, occupation of household, etc. The study has suggested simplification of the procedure for a better access to agricultural credit of smallholders and less-educated/illiterate farmers.

The meaning of ’freedom of conscience’ in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms : a polyvocal cultural analysis
Creators: name: Manley-Casimir, Michael E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the meaning of freedom of conscience and religion in s. 2 (a) of the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms". Set within a polyvocal cultural heuristic, the thesis uses the voices of dramatists, historians, judges, legal theorists and ordinary people to illustrate and document the development and evolution of the meaning of conscience. In particular, the thesis focuses on whether 'freedom of conscience and religion' is one integrated right or whether the notions of 'conscience' and 'religion' are separable, such that it is possible to argue a non-religious, secular claim to conscience on constitutional grounds. Claims of conscience typically arise when the action of the state, for example through legislation, places an individual in the position where his/her unconditionally important beliefs or principles are threatened or offended. Under these circumstances state action may be perceived by individuals as coercive and may create a personal dilemma of significant gravity. The right to freedom of conscience confers upon the individual not to be coerced by state action. Since the "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" confers the right to freedom of conscience and religion upon 'everyone', this language must by definition extend to those whose conscience is religiously informed as well as to those whose conscience is secular and ethically grounded. Hence both religiously informed claims and secular, ethical claims must be eligible to receive constitutional recognition. The thesis concludes by articulating the elements of a test to enable judicial recognition of a valid claim to conscience on secular, ethical grounds within the framework of a pluralist and multicultural society.

description: Among (isotopy classes of) automorphisms of handlebodies those called irreducible (or generic) are the most interesting, analogues of pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of surfaces. We consider the problem of isotoping an irreducible automorphism so that it is most efficient (has minimal growth rate) in its isotopy class. We describe a property, called tightness, of certain invariant laminations, which we conjecture characterizes this efficiency. We obtain partial results towards proving the conjecture. For example, we prove it for genus two handlebodies. We also show that tightness always implies efficiency. In addition, partly in order to provide counterexamples in our study of properties of invariant laminations, we develop a method for generating a class of irreducible automorphisms of handlebodies.

description: A one dimensional $A+A \to \emptyset$ system where the direction of motion of the particles is determined by the position of the nearest neighours is studied. The particles move with a probability $0.5 + \epsi$ towards their nearest neighbours with $-0.5 \leq \epsi \leq 0.5$. This implies a stochastic motion towards the nearest neighbour or away from it for positive and negative values of $\epsi$ respectively, with $\epsi = \pm ~0.5$ the two deterministic limits. The position of the particles are updated in parallel. The macroscopic as well as tagged particle dynamics are studied which show drastic changes from the diffusive case $\epsi=0$. The decay of particle density shows departure from the usual power law behaviour as found in $\epsi =0$, on both sides of $\epsi =0$ and a scaling regime is obtained for $\epsi > 0$. The $\epsi =0.5$ point is characterized by the presence of dimers, which are isolated pairs of particles in adjacent sites that are never annihilated. The persistence probability is also calculated that decays in a stretched exponential manner for $\epsi < 0$ and switches over to power law behaviour for $\epsi \geq 0$, with different exponents for $\epsi =0$ and $\epsi > 0$. For the tagged particle, the probability distribution $Π(x,t)$ that it is at position $x$ at time $t$ shows the existence of a scaling variable $x/t^ν$ where $ν= 0.55 \pm 0.05$ for $\epsi > 0$ and varies with $\epsi$ for $\epsi < 0$. Finally, a comparative analysis for the behaviour of all the relevant quantities for the system using parallel and asynchronous dynamics (studied recently) shows that there are significant differences for $\epsi > 0$ while the results are qualitatively similar for $\epsi < 0$.

description: In recent years, phytotherapy studies, antioxidant activity and gene expression studies with medicinal and aromatic plants have become widespread. The effect of these plants on the oxidant-antioxidant balance in the body and their ability to kill cancerous cells have led to many studies. Produced by plants secondary metabolite amount and variety the type of soil they grow, climatic conditions and altitude differences such as factors depend on shows variability. In this study; In the province of Gumushane, Rosa canina (rosehip) plant which is consumed as tea, jam, marmalade and pekmez is preferred. Looking at the geographical structure of the city; one district is located at an altitude of 1000, while another district is located at an altitude of 2000. By taking advantage of this altitude difference, Torul district, Şiran district, city center and GPS around the castle with the help of 100 meters from the altitude of 1000-1800 meters were collected. The aim of the study are determine whether the rosehip plant, a member of the family of medicinal and aromatic plants, has a change in the amount of antioxidant activity and the amount of vitamin c it contains. After dried rosehip berries were pulverized. Antioxidant activity tests (DPPH, FRAP, Total PolyphenolicContent) and vitamin C were determined in the samples with different extracts using three different solvents. Consequently; antioxidant activity and vitamin C amounts were found to be proportional to the elevation altitude. Different solvents were found to be more effective indifferent experiments.In some samples, different results were observed,this is where the plant grows, whether or not there are related species around the plant and therefore plant's growth with exchange of materials. It is thought that it is caused by environmental and physiological conditions such as sunlight and rainfall annual.

description: At infinite N, continuum Euclidean SU(N) gauge theory defined on a symmetrical four torus has a rich phase structure with phases where the finite volume system behaves as if it had infinite extent in some or all of the directions. In addition, fermions are automatically quenched, so planar QCD should be cheaper to solve numerically that full QCD. Large N is a relatively unexplored and worthwhile direction of research in lattice field theory.

description: We look into the minimisation of the connection time between non-equilibrium steady states. As a prototypical example of an intrinsically non-equilibrium system, a driven granular gas is considered. For time-independent driving, its natural time scale for relaxation is characterised from an empirical -- the relaxation function -- and a theoretical -- the recently derived classical speed limits -- point of view. Using control theory, we find that bang-bang protocols -- comprising two steps, heating with the largest possible value of the driving and cooling with zero driving -- minimise the connecting time. The bang-bang time is shorter than both the empirical relaxation time and the classical speed limit: in this sense, the natural time scale for relaxation is beaten. Information theory quantities stemming from the Fisher information are also analysed over these optimal protocols. The implementation of the bang-bang processes in numerical simulations of the dynamics of the granular gas show an excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions. Moreover, general implications of our results are discussed for a wide class of driven non-equilibrium systems. Specifically, we show that analogous bang-bang protocols, with a number of bangs equal to the number of relevant physical variables, give the minimum connecting time under quite general conditions.

description: A linear programming model has been formulated to suggest the optimal cropping pattern for maximizing net returns and ensuring significant savings of groundwater with the aim of sustaining groundwater use in the Punjab agriculture. The primary data obtained from the project, “Comprehensive scheme to study the cost of cultivation of principal crops in Punjab” for the year 2002-03 pertain to 170 farmers selected through three-stage stratified random sampling technique. As the period of transplantation of paddy has a significant bearing on the amount of groundwater used and its sustainability, the paddy crop has been further classified into Paddy 1 (transplanted before 10th June); Paddy 2 (transplanted during 11th June to 20th June) and Paddy 3 (transplanted after 20th June). At the existing level of water availability, the optimal crop plan has not revealed any significant changes in the production pattern. Restricting the availability of groundwater has resulted into a major shift in the cropping pattern. Such changes could ensure groundwater savings of almost 25 per cent, without any adverse impact on the net returns from crop production. Introduction of new crops in the production plan, such as Bt cotton, has further enhanced the returns from crop production by about 4 per cent along with groundwater savings of 26.55 per cent. The study has suggested that alternate wetting and drying, adoption of system of rice intensification (SRI), use of tensiometers and direct plantation of paddy are some of the other techniques which can save water.

description: Recently, 1/2-BPS AdS bubble solutions have been obtained by Lin, Lunin and Maldacena, which correspond to Fermi droplets in phase space in the dual CFT picture. They can be thought of as generalisations of 1/2-BPS AdS black hole solutions in five or seven dimensional gauged supergravity. In this paper, we extend these solutions by invoking additional gauge fields and scalar fields in the supergravity Lagrangians, thereby obtaining AdS bubble generalisations of the previously-known multi-charge AdS black solutions of gauged supergravity. We also obtain analogous AdS bubble solutions in four-dimensional gauged supergravity. Our solutions generically preserve supersymmetry fractions 1/4, 1/8 and 1/8 in seven, five and four dimensions respectively. They can be lifted to M-theory or type IIB string theory, using previously known formulae for the consistent Pauli sphere reductions that yield the gauged supergravities. We also find similar solutions in six-dimensional gauged supergravity, and discuss their lift to the massive type IIA theory.

description: Three types of micro irrigation structures, namely small dams (SD), lift irrigation structures (LIS) and Makowal type structures (MTS) were constructed by the Department of Soil and Water Conservation, Govt. of Punjab, Hoshiarpur division in the Kandi area of Punjab depending upon the availability of water at site, during the period 1990-91 to 1996-97. The impact evaluation has shown that the cultivated area has increased by 9.5 per cent, 3.2 per cent and 9.8 per cent and irrigated area by 600 per cent, 1038 per cent, and 253 per cent for SD (from 1991-92 to 2003-04), LIS (from 1993-94 to 2003-04) and MTS (from 1994-95 to 2003- 04), respectively in the selected villages of these structures. The income of irrigated hectare has been found higher at Rs 14478 than un-irrigated hectare. Discounted cash flow technique has revealed that the financial internal rate of returns are as high as 20.56 per cent, 38.54 per cent and 27.95 per cent for SD, LIS and MTS, respectively, which are highly satisfactory and encourage more public investments on such type of irrigation structures to enhance the income of Kandi farmers.

description: Based on Monte Carlo simulation, we report the study of the inversion layer mobility in n-channel strained Si/ Si1-xGex MOS structures. The influence of the strain in the Si layer and of the doping level is studied. Universal mobility curves mueff as a function of the effective vertical field Eeff are obtained for various state of strain, as well as a fall-off of the mobility in weak inversion regime, which reproduces correctly the experimental trends. We also observe a mobility enhancement up to 120 % for strained Si/ Si0.70Ge0.30, in accordance with best experimental data. The effect of the strained Si channel thickness is also investigated: when decreasing the thickness, a mobility degradation is observed under low effective field only. The role of the different scattering mechanisms involved in the strained Si/ Si1-xGex MOS structures is explained. In addition, comparison with experimental results is discussed in terms of SiO2/ Si interface roughness, as well as surface roughness of the SiGe substrate on which strained Si is grown.

description: We introduce a perturbative method to calculate all moments of the first-passage time distribution in stochastic one-dimensional processes which are subject to both white and coloured noise. This class of non-Markovian processes is at the centre of the study of thermal active matter, that is self-propelled particles subject to diffusion. The perturbation theory about the Markov process considers the effect of self-propulsion to be small compared to that of thermal fluctuations. To illustrate our method, we apply it to the case of active thermal particles (i) in a harmonic trap (ii) on a ring. For both we calculate the first-order correction of the moment-generating function of first-passage times, and thus to all its moments. Our analytical results are compared to numerics.

description: The present paper brings an outline of the methodology and chosen results of an extensive ICT development survey in agricultural enterprises that was carried out in the second quarter of 2010 in the whole Czech Republic. The survey was aimed primarily at the analysis of internet connectivity development in rural areas (i.e. areas where the majority of enterprises operates), at the technical and program equipment and last but not least at the present state and current trends in ICT use. This follow-up survey prosecutes the studies that were administered within the last two years (2009 in particular). In comparison with previous years, it comprises two brand new domains (e.g. social networks and their use, program equipment used in different segments of animal production, crop production and economy). The research was prepared, carried out and administered by the Department of Information Technologies in cooperation with the Information and Consulting Center of the Faculty of Economics and Management of the Czech University of Life Sciences.
Tachyonic Squarks in Split Supersymmetry
Creators: name: Ibarra, Alejandro

description: The decoupling of scalar particles in split supersymmetry makes the spectrum of squarks irrelevant for low energy processes. Nevertheless, the structure of the vacuum is sensitive to the spectrum of squarks, even when the supersymmetry breaking scale is large. In this note, we show that in certain regions of the parameter space, squarks could develop radiatively tachyonic masses, thus breaking electric charge and color. We discuss the constraints that follow from the requirement of charge and color conservation, and we comment on the implications for model building.

Ultraluminous Starbursts from SMBH-induced outflows
Creators: name: Silk, Joseph
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I argue that there are two modes of global star formation. Disks and smaller spheroids form stars relatively inefficiently as a consequence of supernova-triggered negative feedback via a sequence of ministarbursts (S mode), whereas massive spheroids formed rapidly with high efficiency via the impact of AGN jet-triggered positive feedback (J mode) that generates and enhances ultraluminous starbursts. Supermassive black hole growth by accretion is favoured in the gas-rich protospheroid environment as mergers build up the mass of the host galaxy and provide a centrally concentrated gas supply. Quasi-spherical outflows arise and provide the source of porosity as the energetic jets from the accreting central SMBH are isotropised by the inhomogeneous interstellar medium in the protospheroid core. Super-Eddington outflows occur and help generate both the SMBH at high redshift and the strong positive feedback on protospheroid star formation that occurs as dense interstellar clouds are overpressured and collapse. SMBH form before the bulk of spheroid stars, and the correlation between spheroid velocity dispersion and supermassive black hole mass arises as AGN-triggered outflows limit the gas reservoir for spheroid star formation. The super-Eddington phase plausibly triggers a top-heavy IMF in the region of influence of the SMBH. The Compton-cooled Eddington-limited outflow phase results in a spheroid core whose phase space density scales as the inverse 5/2 power of the core mass, and whose mass scales as the 3/2 power of SMBH mass. This latter scaling suggests that SMBH growth (and hence spheroid formation) is anti-hierarchical.

description: Several progresses have been made in evaluating the development policies for rural areas in the last years; many indicators1 have been set for assessing the effectiveness of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Rural Development Policies (RDPs) and their role on the convergence process of the EU members, but a shared definition of rurality is still missing. The results obtained at the level of growth and development by the most lagging behind areas, are far from being satisfactory (Brasili, 2005). The evaluation of the policies and programmes introduced evidenced lack of institutional planning and implementing abilities, and an insufficient targeting of policies and payments (Mantino, 2010). The experience of the 10 New Member States (NMSs)2 showed how the current CAP and Cohesion policy, designed for the EU-15 (Csaki et al. 2010), aren’t enough for addressing the regional specificities, hindering a process of development which is already weakened by the effects of the unfinished transition. This paper aims at offering a methodological contribution for evaluating the EU membership, with particular attention to the CAP, in Hungary. We chose this Country among the 10 NMSs because of the relevance (96%) of the rural areas on the total land3, and given the historical socio-economic role played by agriculture. The authors believe that more targeted – and therefore efficient – policies for agricultural and rural areas require a deeper knowledge of their structural and dynamic characteristics. Therefore, in order to identify the changes occurred before (2003) and after (2007) the EU membership on agricultural and rural areas, we use the following multivariate statistics methodologies: Principal Components Analysis, applied to the set of 42 variables, and Cluster Analysis on the results obtained by the Principal Components Analysis. Then, we offer a preliminary evaluation of the distribution of Single Area Payment Scheme (SAPS)4, using the information on the applications provided at the County level by the Hungarian Paying Agency to show correlations with the leading factors.

This shows a particularly strong microcanonical form of the equipartition principle for quantum systems whose components are modelled by Wigner matrices.
The Cherenkov effect in Lorentz-violating vacua

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The emission of electromagnetic radiation by charges moving uniformly in a Lorentz-violating vacuum is studied. The analysis is performed within the classical Maxwell-Chern-Simons limit of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) and confirms the possibility of a Cherenkov-type effect. In this context, various properties of Cherenkov radiation including the rate, polarization, and propagation features, are discussed, and the back-reaction on the charge is investigated. An interpretation of this effect supplementing the conventional one is given. The emerging physical picture leads to a universal methodology for studying the Cherenkov effect in more general situations.

description: The paper describes the development and policy environment of organic farming in the European Union, where organic farming has grown rapidly due to a variety of factors. Policy measures concerning area-based financial support for conversion to and continuation of organic farming, officially-recognized standards and support for market and regional development, advice and research are considered. This indicates that individual measures can also work against each other. In some countries, good experiences have been made with integrated action plans, an approach that is also being discussed at the European level and which could achieve a good basis for the development of organic farming in future.
Active-Region Tilt Angles from White-Light Images and Magnetograms: The Role of Magnetic Tongues

description: The presence of elongations in active region (AR) polarities, called magnetic tongues, are mostly visible during their emergence phase. AR tilts have been measured thoroughly using long-term white-light (WL) databases, sometimes combined with magnetic field information. Since the influence of magnetic tongues on WL tilt measurements has not been taken into account before, we aim to investigate their role in tilt-angle values and to compare them with those derived from LOS magnetograms. We apply four methods to compute the tilt angle of generally bipolar ARs: one applies the k-means algorithm to WL data, a second one includes the magnetic field sign of the polarities to WL data, and a third one uses the magnetic flux-weighted center of each polarity. The tilt values computed in any of these ways are affected by the presence of magnetic tongues. Therefore, we apply the newly developed Core Field Fit Estimator (CoFFE) method to separate the magnetic flux in the tongues from that in the AR core. We compare the four computed tilt-angle values, as well as these with the ones reported in long-term WL databases. For ARs with low magnetic flux tongues the different methods report consistent tilt-angle values. But for ARs with high flux tongues there are noticeable discrepancies between all methods indicating that magnetic tongues affect differently WL and magnetic data. However, in general, CoFFE achieves a better estimation of the main bipole tilt because it removes both the effect of tongues as well as the emergence of secondary bipoles when it occurs in between the main bipole magnetic polarities.

description: This work provides insight into the functioning of the Department of Anthropology of the Cuban Academy of Sciences and its role in the study and development of prehispanic archaeology during the revolutionary period. It provides the chronological progression of the primary archaeological activities since 1962, and the history of sub-institutional branches, which provided the main scientific support for the pioneering researchers. It is important to highlight the significant contribution of accessory institutions and their scientific results acquired during the first 58 years in divulging their findings with the younger generations.
