description: In this paper an extensive review of the theoretical and applied literature on natural resource accounting (NRA) is provided. The review begins by explaining the economic theory that underpins NRA, contrasting welfare and sustainability as policy goals, and presenting various distinct conceptions of national income. The state of play regarding official revisions to the system of national accounts (SNA) with respect to natural resources and the environment is presented and controversial areas are highlighted. Finally, the economic literature on proposed revisions, and applied studies that have proceeded using these methods, is summarised and critiqued. We argue that much of the literature proceeds with weak conceptual foundations, and that typical case studies produce results that are ambiguous in interpretation. Moreover, we highlight fundamental tensions between economic theory and national accounting methodology, and conclude that one outcome of this has been the insufficient attention paid by economists to the revisions to the SNA; instead devoting time and effort to ‘freelance’ NRA case studies utilising sometimes ad hoc methods from the economic literature.

Rivero’s white-lipped frog, Sapo-rana rugoso de Rivero, Jujüku
 rio-Amorós 1998a). It also occurs in the northern Brazilian and Colombian Amazon (Heyer and Pyburn 1983; Lynch and Vargas Ramírez 2001). Our specimen has a SVL of 54 mm and it conforms to the original description (Heyer and Pyburn 1983). The dorsolateral folds are bordered laterally by an indistinct darker gray stripe. The flanks are gray with symmetrical supra axillary black spots. A dark gray canthal stripe begins on the tip of the snout but does not reach the eye. A black supratympanic fold extends from the eye to the rear of the tympanum. A distinct white stripe extends posteriorly to the scapular region from a point below the eye. The venter is white with small brown dots on the throat, and larger spots on the chest and belly (unlike the striking reticulated pattern seen in Rivero 1968). Our specimen was sitting 0.5 m from the edge of Canaracuni stream at night. Medium-sized Leptodatylus are known as jujüku by the local inhabitants.

Kinetics of macroion coagulation induced by multivalent counterions

description: Due to the strong correlations between multivalent counterions condensed on a macroion, the net macroion charge changes sign at some critical counterion concentration. This effect is known as the charge inversion. Near this critical concentration the macroion net charge is small. Therefore, short range attractive forces between macroions dominate Coulomb repulsion and lead to their coagulation. The kinetics of macroion coagulation in this range of counterion concentrations is studied. We calculate the Coulomb barrier between two approaching like charged macroions at a given counterion concentration. Two different macroion shapes (spherical and rod-like) are considered. A new "self-regulated" regime of coagulation is found. As the size of aggregates increases, their charge and Coulomb barrier also grow and diminish the sticking probability of aggregates. This leads to a slow, logarithmic increase of the aggregate size with time.

Reinita acuática tepuyana
120 km NNE of Sarisariñama, based on two specimens. EBRG 4167 (field number L-1322) is a juvenile female of 187 + 37 mm. It has 17-17-15 dorsals, 170 ventrals, and 52 subcaudals. The coloration is as described for the paratopotype AMNH 136210 in Donnelly and Myers (1991), with a blackish head, a white collar and a dark brownish dorsum, with paravertebral whitish small spots. Laterally, there are triangular alternating brown and white bands. The venter is white with black checkering, less profuse than in AMNH 136210, and absent on the tail. All characters fall well in the diagnosis and description of the species by Donnelly and Myers (1991). The animal had in its digestive tract an undistinguishable mass, containing apparently some fish scales.
 As shown in the RCTV documentary, the animal was swimming in a stream when captured. Liophis torrenicola was believed to be isolated at Guaiquinima (Donnelly and Myers 1991). However, the species is present at least on two tepuis 130 km distant from each other and separated by the Río Caura basin. It is also present in Parima B (O. Fuentes, pers. comm.). We predict that L. torrenicola will be found on some other nearby tepuis, such as Jaua, Guanacoco, or Ichún.
 Material examined. Liophis torrenicola.— VENEZUELA: Estado Bolívar, Guaiquinima tepui, AMNH 136210 (currently in MBUCV).

description: In this paper, we propose a communication- and computation-efficient algorithm to solve a convex consensus optimization problem defined over a decentralized network. A remarkable existing algorithm to solve this problem is the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), in which at every iteration every node updates its local variable through combining neighboring variables and solving an optimization subproblem. The proposed algorithm, called as COmmunication-censored Linearized ADMM (COLA), leverages a linearization technique to reduce the iteration-wise computation cost of ADMM and uses a communication-censoring strategy to alleviate the communication cost. To be specific, COLA introduces successive linearization approximations to the local cost functions such that the resultant computation is first-order and light-weight. Since the linearization technique slows down the convergence speed, COLA further adopts the communication-censoring strategy to avoid transmissions of less informative messages. A node is allowed to transmit only if the distance between the current local variable and its previously transmitted one is larger than a censoring threshold. COLA is proven to be convergent when the local cost functions have Lipschitz continuous gradients and the censoring threshold is summable. When the local cost functions are further strongly convex, we establish the linear (sublinear) convergence rate of COLA, given that the censoring threshold linearly (sublinearly) decays to 0. Numerical experiments corroborate with the theoretical findings and demonstrate the satisfactory communication-computation tradeoff of COLA.

Type localities
Mayumba and Pujehun, Sierra Leone.
Current status
Synonym of Zographus regalis regalis (Brown, 1776).
Remarks
All paratypes of Le Moult’s subspecies and aberrations of Z. regalis were found combined in one drawer without separation or indication to which name they belong. The single specimen (ZMH 843920) can be confidently assigned to the Z. regalis poleti s. str. since the nominal form of this subspecies was described from Mayumba and Pujehun. The aberrations viridisparsus, viridiventris and viridicollis are from Mayumba only. Thirty further specimens labelled with Mayumba, Sierra Leone, do not bear a paratype label but they might also be paratypes.

description: Quasiparticle tunneling spectra of the electron-doped (n-type) infinite-layer cuprate Sr_{0.9}La_{0.1}CuO_2 reveal characteristics that counter a number of common phenomena in the hole-doped (p-type) cuprates. The optimally doped Sr_{0.9}La_{0.1}CuO_2 with T_c = 43 K exhibits a momentum-independent superconducting gap Δ= 13.0 +- 1.0 meV that substantially exceeds the BCS value, and the spectral characteristics indicate insignificant quasiparticle damping by spin fluctuations and the absence of pseudogap. The response to quantum impurities in the Cu-sites also differs fundamentally from that of the p-type cuprates with d_{x^2-y^2}-wave pairing symmetry.

description: To design a probe with “turn-on” sensing, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots (N, S-CQDs) were prepared and screened against some metallic cations to first induce “turn-off” fluorescence. The ferric iron (Fe3+) was shown to be the most responsive and effective in the fluorescence quenching of the N, S-CQDs based on a proposed photo-induced electron transfer mechanism. In addition, the fluorescence of N, S-CQDs-Fe3+ system was well recovered using N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) (turn-on) due to a redox reaction, suggesting that the N, S-CQDs-Fe3+ system acts as a highly sensitive and selective sensor for the determination of N-acetyl-l-cysteine with a low limit of detection equal to 65.0 nmol/L and wide linear ranges from 0.67 to 25.56 and 25.56 to 193.55 μmol/L. The “turn-off/on” fluorescence method was successfully employed to monitor N-acetyl-l-cysteine in pharmaceutical products and human urine samples with a recovery range from 99.2 to 101.3%. In addition, the fluorescence switch properties of the nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon quantum dots were also investigated by alternate additions of Fe3+ and N-acetyl-l-cysteine.

 Tenuigada ignara Iredale, 1939: 68, pl. V, fig. 13 (north end of Napier Range).
 Nomenclatural remarks. Iredale (1939) described the two species, A. percita and A. ignara, based on series of dry shells. Subsequently, the two names were synonymized by Solem (1981a), who revised the genus, on the grounds that no significant difference in the shells were found, which would justify treatment as distinct species. However, Solem (1981a) also stated that he found distinct differences between allopatric populations of this species. Hence, it remains to be critically tested whether the taxon as currently delimited by Solem (1981a) encompasses more than a single species.
 Material examined. AMS C144028 (Western Australia, Napier Range, 24 km N of Wagon Pass, 17°04.5"S 124°34'E) (Fig. 1, Pl. 2.17).
 Remarks. A sample of this species is represented in the molecular tree shown below.

Multimeric Enzymes

description: The endolysin CD27L is produced by the Clostridium phage phiCD27. This phage targets the bacteria and uses the endolysin’s enzymatic properties to lyse cells from within and release new replicated phages. Past studies have characterized the two domains of CD27L’s genetic sequence, the enzymatically active domain (EAD) at the N-terminus and the cell wall binding domain (CBD) at the C-terminus connected by a linker sequence. The gene sequence order is EAD-linker-CBD. A unique aspect of CD27L is its ability to form a multimeric enzymatic structure from these two domains where one EAD and multiple CBDs are present in one structure. This multimeric endolysin is formed from one gene, so translation of the one sequence uses two ribosome binding sites and two start codons. One ribosome binding site and start codon is before the EAD and the other in the linker sequence before the CBD. Our goal is to analyze the sequences of other Clostridium phage endolysins to find multimeric endolysins similar to CD27L. We are specifically looking for multiple ribosome binding sites with start codons or alternate start codons downstream in close proximity on one gene sequence.

description: Selecting sites is an essential step in enabling the assessment of the impact of Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D) in the Lake Kivu Pilot Learning Site. This paper reports on the process of identifying distinct administrative territories (sites) in which to establish innovation platforms and to monitor similar communities that are experiencing alternative agricultural research for development interventions. We show how the research design for the Sub- Saharan Africa Challenge Programme (SSACP) has been modified to take into account the key conditioning factors of the LKPLS without relinquishing robustness. A key change is the explicit incorporation of accessibility to multiple markets. Candidate sites were stratified according to the national political context, followed by good and poor accessibility to markets and finally according to security considerations and agro-ecology. Randomisation was carried out at all levels, although the need for paired counterfactual sites required the diagnosis of conditioning factors at the site level. Potential sites were characterised in terms of existing or recent agricultural research initiatives, as well as local factors that would have a direct effect on the success of interventions seeking to improve productivity, ameliorate the degradation of natural resources and enhance incomes through better links to markets. Fourteen sites were selected during the initial phase, and a further ten sites were added one year afterwards due to the need for more innovation platforms to test IAR4D. The site selection was successful in pairing action and counterfactual sites in terms of the baseline socioeconomic conditions of farming households. The unavoidable proximity of action and counterfactual sites, however, allows the possibility of spill-over effects and could reduce the measurable impact of IAR4D.

 Remarks. Found in the same area as A. varia, this species differs most significantly from the former by a distinct anatomy of the interior penial wall. The penis anatomy of the present sample corresponds with that shown by Solem (1981a). This species is represented in the molecular tree shown below. The two samples sequenced herein do not form a monophyletic cluster but are separated by a considerable uncorrected pair-wise genetic distance of 17% and are shown as non-monophyletic with respect to A. varia. This indicates problems with the species recognition and probably the presence of an unidentified species.

description: We present results from the analysis of X-ray power density spectra and coherence when GRS 1915+105 is in soft states. We use three data sets that belong to $μ$, $ϕ$ and $δ$ classes in Belloni et al (2000). We find that the power density spectra appear to be complex, with several features between 0.01 and 10 Hz. The coherence deviates from unity above a characteristic frequency. We discuss our results in different models. The corona size in the sphere-disk model implied by this break frequency is on the order of 10$^4$ GM/c$^2$, which is unphysical. Our results are more consistent with the prediction of the model of a planar corona sustained by magnetic flares, in which the characteristic frequency is associated with the longest time-scale of an individual flare, which is about eight seconds.

description: The occurrence and development of phase inhomogeneity in {\rm Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$} single crystals have been investigated by measuring their superconducting transition patterns using a high-sensitivity ac magnetometer. We find that the overdoped {\rm Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$} single crystals, even if they were single-phased immediately after a high-temperature annealing process, show progressively pronounced multiple superconducting transitions with time as they were kept at room temperature in a dry air atmosphere. The results reveal that the oxygen dopants in the crystal are still mobile at room temperature. These dopants tend to re-arrange and thus form different phases, at a characteristic time scale of one or two weeks or so. Moreover, the diamagnetization loops in the newly segregated phase are very weak, presumably due to the existence of additional inhomogeneity down to a nanometer scale. Our results also show that the optimally doped {\rm Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$} crystals seem capable to remain in a single phase with time.

We adopt a hybrid approach to solving the system: the spatial derivatives are discretized using standard Lattice Gauge Field Theory techniques, whereas the time evolution of the fields and scale factor is implemented with explicit, composite, symplectic integrators. An important property of our compound algorithm is that the discretized Gauss constraint is respected exactly, regardless of the order of the symplectic integrator. This remains true even when the background expansion is computed "self-consistently"; that is, when the expansion history is computed using spatial averaged components of the energy momentum tensor in the simulation volume. Hence, our code can also be used in cases where the fields dominate the energy density of the universe, for example, during reheating after inflation. We test the algorithm in scenarios of reheating where the inflaton is a complex scalar field with a potential $\propto(2|φ|^2-v^2)^2$ and is coupled to an Abelian gauge field. Tracing the evolution of the system through complex dynamics (including resonant excitation of fields, backreaction, formation of solitons, and changes in the equation of state) in a self-consistently expanding universe, we find the energy conservation violation ($<10^{-4}$) to be very stable and the Gauss constraint violation ($<10^{-6}$) to be dominated by differencing noise.

description: The censored Tobit model is applied on data from the Malaysian Household Expenditure Survey (1998/99) to examine household expenditure patterns on food-away-from-home (FAFH). Results indicate that the Chinese population, the urban residents, or those with higher monthly household income have significantly higher FAFH expenditures than their non-Chinese, rural, or lower household income cohorts, ceteris paribus. In addition, other socio-demographic characteristics such as age, gender, household size, or even education do not affect total monthly household expenditures on FAFH in a statistically significant manner. Based on these findings, several observations are noted to provide policymakers and food industry analysts with a better understanding of the habits and attitudes of Malaysian households vis-à-vis FAFH.

description: The fishery sector has become a large and dynamic contributor to Philippine agriculture. However, the sector confronts the problem of high poverty and alarming threats to its resource base. Policy responses to these problems have been implemented in recent years, but serious gaps remain. Addressing these policy gaps requires reforms that would lead to aquaculture development, bureaucratic rationalization and decentralization, the protection of aquatic habitats, the implementation of a science-based regime of fisheries management, and the promotion of diversified livelihoods among poor fishing communities. A concerted effort to address poverty and resource degradation may incur considerable short-run costs, but would likely yield larger long-term social payoffs.

description: In this paper, we describe the kinematical and evolutionary properties of the impulsive cool jets in the solar atmosphere using numerical simulation by Godunov-type PLUTO code at two different strength of the quiet-Sun magnetic field (B=56, 112 Gauss). These types of chromospheric jets are originated by the pressure pulse, which mimics after effects of the localized heating in the lower solar atmosphere. These jets may be responsible for the transport of mass and energy in the localized upper atmosphere (i.e., corona). The detection of the height-time profiles for the jets, originated by imposing the different pressure pulses, exhibit the asymmetric near parabolic behaviour. This infers that the upward motion of the jet occurs under the influence of pressure perturbation. However, its downward motion is not only governed by the gravitational free fall, but also due to the complex plasma motions near its base under the effect of counter propagating pulses. Maximum height and life-time of the jets w.r.t. the strength of the pressure pulse show a linear increasing trend. This suggests that if the extent of the heating and thus pressure perturbations will be longer then more longer chromospheric jets can be triggered from the same location in the chromosphere. For the certain amplitude of pressure pulse, the strong magnetic field configuration (B=112 Gauss) leads more longer jet compared to the weaker field (B=56 Gauss). This suggests that the strong magnetic field guides the pressure pulse driven jets more efficiency towards the higher corona. In conclusion, our model mimics the properties and evolution of variety of the cool impulsive jets in the chromosphere (e.g., macrospicules, network jets, isolated repeated cool jets, confined \& small surges etc).

Shear calibration biases in weak lensing surveys

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate biases induced by the conversion between the observed image shape to shear distortion in current weak lensing analysis methods. Such overall calibration biases cannot be detected by the standard tests such as E/B decomposition or calibration with stars. We find that the non-Gaussianity of point spread function has a significant effect and can lead to up to 15 per cent error on the linear amplitude of fluctuations sigma_8 depending on the method of analysis. This could explain some of the discrepancies seen in recent amplitude determinations from weak lensing. Using an elliptical Laguerre expansion method we develop a re-Gaussianization method which reduces the error to calibration error of order 1 per cent even for poorly resolved galaxies. We also discuss a new type of shear selection bias which results in up to roughly 8 percent underestimation of the signal. It is expected to scale with redshift, inducing errors in the growth factor extraction if not properly corrected for. Understanding and correcting for such effects is crucial if weak lensing is to become a high precision probe of cosmology.

Subjects: Geography

description: The Badung Regency Government through the Health Office implements a comprehensive health service program for the community. Health service facilities and infrastructure for the community are continuously improved to meet public health services including the development of community health centers (puskemas). The Puskesmas in the Badung district stated that there are 13 units scattered in various areas. Several problems have arisen where the community cannot see the location of the nearest puskesmas if there is an emergency such as an accident. The solution is offered to overcome the problems that arise by designing and building a geographic information system for the location map of the health center using the Google Maps API for coordinating information on the location of the health center using a map from Google. The community is expected to be able to see the location of the closest puskesmas and to be able to get information about addresses and telephone numbers that can be contacted through the system. This Geographical Information System uses the waterfall model in system development from analysis, design, design, coding, implementation and system testing. The results of the design and implementation of the geographic information system for the location of the Badung district health center can help the community to see and find the location of the nearest puskesmas so that they can more quickly assist in handling in an emergency situation.

Pemerintah Kabupaten Badung melalui Dinas Kesehatan melaksanakan program pelayanan kesehatan secara menyeluruh kepada masyarakat. Fasilitas dan infrastruktur pelayanan kesehatan bagi masyarakat terus ditingkatkan guna memenuhi pelayanan kesehatan masyarakat yang optimal termasuk pengembangan pusat kesehatan masyarakat (puskemas). Puskesmas di wilayah Kabupaten Badung berjumlah 13 unit tersebar di berbagai wilayah, namun beberapa permasalahan yang dihadapi di mana masyarakat tidak sepenuhnya mengetahui lokasi puskesmas terdekat jika dalam keadaan darurat seperti kecelakaan. Solusi yang ditawarkan untuk mengatasi permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah dengan merancang dan membangun sistem informasi geografis pemetaan lokasi puskesmas menggunakan Google Maps API untuk informasi kordinat lokasi puskesmas menggunakan peta dari Google. Masyarakat diharapkan bisa mengetahui lokasi puskesmas terdekat dan bisa mendapatkan informasi mengenai alamat dan nomor telepon yang bisa dihubungi melalui sistem. Sistem informasi geografis (SIG) ini menggunakan model Waterfall dalam pengembangan sistem mulai dari analisa, perancangan, desain, pengkodean, implementasi dan pengujian sistem. Hasil dari perancangan dan implementasi sistem informasi geografis pemetaan lokasi puskesmas di Kabupaten Badung ini dapat mebantu masyarakat untuk mengetahui dan menemukan lokasi puskesmas terdekat sehingga bisa lebih cepat dalam membantu penanganan dalam kondisi darurat.

description: We present the bounds on 3+1 active-sterile neutrino mixing obtained from the first results of the KATRIN experiment. We show that the KATRIN data extend the Mainz and Troitsk bound to smaller values of $Δ{m}^2_{41}$ for large mixing and improves the exclusion of the large-$Δ{m}^2_{41}$ solution of the Huber-Muller reactor antineutrino anomaly. We also show that the combined bound of the Mainz, Troitsk, and KATRIN tritium experiments and the Bugey-3, NEOS, PROSPECT, and DANSS reactor spectral ratio measurements exclude most of the region in the ($\sin^2\!2\vartheta_{ee},Δ{m}^2_{41}$) plane allowed by the Huber-Muller reactor antineutrino anomaly. Considering two new calculations of the reactor neutrino fluxes, we show that one, that predicts a lower $^{235}\text{U}$ neutrino flux, is in agreement with the tritium and reactor spectral ratio measurements, whereas the other leads to a larger tension than the Huber-Muller prediction. We also show that the combined reactor spectral ratio and tritium measurements disfavor the Neutrino-4 indication of large active-sterile mixing. We finally discuss the constraints on the gallium neutrino anomaly.

description: This study focuses on the potential of permanent magnets as thermoelectric converters. It is found that a SmCo$_5$-type magnet exhibits the large anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE) at room temperature and that its charge-to-heat current conversion coefficient is more than one order of magnitude greater than that of typical ferromagnetic metals. The large AEE is an exclusive feature of the SmCo$_5$-type magnet among various permanent magnets in practical use, which is independent of the conventional performance of magnets based on static magnetic properties. The experimental results show that the large AEE originates from the intrinsic transverse thermoelectric conductivity of SmCo$_5$. This finding makes a connection between permanent magnets and thermal energy engineering, providing the basis for creating "thermoelectric permanent magnets."

Two-dimensional interacting self-avoiding walks: new estimates for critical temperatures and exponents

description: We investigate, by series methods, the behaviour of interacting self-avoiding walks (ISAWs) on the honeycomb lattice and on the square lattice. This is the first such investigation of ISAWs on the honeycomb lattice. We have generated data for ISAWs up to 75 steps on this lattice, and 55 steps on the square lattice. For the hexagonal lattice we find the $θ$-point to be at $u_\mathrm{c} = 2.767 \pm 0.002.$ The honeycomb lattice is unique among the regular two-dimensional lattices in that the exact growth constant is known for non-interacting walks, and is $\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}}$, while for half-plane walks interacting with a surface, the critical fugacity, again for the honeycomb lattice, is $1+\sqrt{2}$. We could not help but notice that $\sqrt{2+4\sqrt{2}} = 2.767\ldots .$ We discuss the difficulties of trying to prove, or disprove, this possibility. For square lattice ISAWs we find $u_\mathrm{c}=1.9474 \pm 0.001,$ which is consistent with the best Monte Carlo analysis. We also study bridges and terminally-attached walks (TAWs) on the square lattice at the $θ$-point. We estimate the exponents to be $γ_b=0.00 \pm 0.03,$ and $γ_1=0.55 \pm 0.03$ respectively. The latter result is consistent with the prediction $γ_1(θ) = ν=\frac47$, albeit for a modified version of the problem, while the former estimate appears to be new.
