description: A roadmap is required to communicate the plans for development of the infrastructure to provide secure cross border data access to genetic and phenotypic data to interested stakeholders. The roadmap is a live document, with the initial deliverable being version1, which will evolve as the requirements of more use cases and updates to technology and standards are taken into account. The main aim of the roadmap presented here is to define the timelines to provide a proof of concept demonstrator of secure cross border data access, describe the technologies required to develop such a demonstrator, and to detail the work that has gone into determining the roadmap and requirement for the proof of concept demonstrator. The roadmap also outlines how it is expected that the work carried out towards the initial proof of concept will support the developing roadmap for 2022 and beyond, as the proof of concept evolves from a demonstrator with synthetic data to a production system accessing real genetic and phenotypic data.

description: We report the results of an experimental study of the magnetoresistance $ρ_{xx}$ and $ρ_{xy}$ in two samples of $p$-Si/SiGe with low carrier concentrations $p$=8.2$\times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $p$=2$\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. The research was performed in the temperature range of 0.3-2 K and in the magnetic fields of up to 18 T, parallel or tilted with respect to the two-dimensional (2D) channel plane. The large in-plane magnetoresistance can be explained by the influence of the \textit{in-plane} magnetic field on the orbital motion of the charge carriers in the quasi-2D system. The measurements of $ρ_{xx}$ and $ρ_{xy}$ in the tilted magnetic field showed that the anomaly in $ρ_{xx}$, observed at filling factor $ν$=3/2 is practically nonexistent in the conductivity $σ_{xx}$. The anomaly in $σ_{xx}$ at $ν$=2 might be explained by overlapping of the levels with different spins 0$\uparrow$ and 1$\downarrow$ when the tilt angle of the applied magnetic field is changed. The dependence of g-factor $g^*(Θ)/g^*(0^0)$ on the tilt angle $Θ$ was determined.

description: Konflikt jest nieodzownym elementem społecznym i podstawą relacji o podmiotowym charakterze. O sukcesie lub porażce grupy społecznej w zakresie jej podmiotowego współżycia (demokratycznego co-vivendi) decydują sposoby rozwiązywania sporów. Szkoła jest miejscem ciągłego ścierania się różnych punktów widzenia. Problem nierozwiązanych lub ignorowanych sporów w szkolnictwie prowadzi do destrukcji relacji, braku zaufania i współpracy jako podstawy sukcesu edukacyjnego uczniów. Szkoła rozumiana jako społeczność i przestrzeń wspólności powinna kształtować postawy obywatelskie. Dzięki odpowiedniej kulturze konfliktu, zgodnej z założeniami demokracji niekonsensualnej, możliwe jest zachowanie demokratycznych cech rzeczywistości szkolnej.
Exterior powers of the reflection representation in the cohomology of Springer fibres

description: Let $H^*(\calB_e)$ be the cohomology of the Springer fibre for the nilpotent element $e$ in a simple Lie algebra $\g$, on which the Weyl group $W$ acts by the Springer representation. Let $Λ^i V$ denote the $i$th exterior power of the reflection representation of $W$. We determine the degrees in which $Λ^i V$ occurs in the graded representation $H^*(\calB_e)$, under the assumption that $e$ is regular in a Levi subalgebra and satisfies a certain extra condition which holds automatically if $\g$ is of type A, B, or C. This partially verifies a conjecture of Lehrer--Shoji, and extends the results of Solomon in the $e=0$ case and Lehrer--Shoji in the $i=1$ case. The proof proceeds by showing that $(H^*(\calB_e) \otimes Λ^* V)^W$ is a free exterior algebra on its subspace $(H^*(\calB_e)\otimes V)^W$.

description: Small abattoirs specialize in selling slaughter and butchery services to private kill retailer (PKR) farmers who supply them with livestock but who remain owners of the carcase, meat and offal, which they sell through their own retail outlets. A survey showed 41% of PKR farmers had no alternative provider if the abattoir they currently use closed - 52% had only one viable alternative provider. This shows that the â€œprivate killâ€ trade is threatened by the further closure of small abattoirs across the UK. Respondents reported their PKR enterprise to be â€œessentialâ€ or â€œvery importantâ€ to 65% of PKR farmers, so further closures will result in farm business failures. Among the consequences reported by PKR farmer are (I) reduced sales of locally reared and slaughtered livestock and retailed meat, thus (ii) adversely affecting the size of the rural economy, (iii) significantly increase livestock journeys, (iv) a reduction in the rearing of native livestock species - with a corresponding loss of genetic diversity and habitat conservation grazing options, and (v), in part due to a loss of landscape and regional diversity, an adverse impact on rural tourism. Government could support small abattoirs by removing inspection requirements, using targeted grants for building and equipment, clarifying confusing food labelling, and by creating a food marque to differentiate private kill retailed meat (and meat-produce).

title: An evaluation of the role of school social workers in the State of Qatar
Creators: name: Saleh, Abdulnasser Saleh Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: The aim of this research is to point out that the Western approach in school social work cannot be implemented in non-Western cultures without giving due consideration to the culture and the values of the recipient society. Qatar and the West may list the same values within social work, but the implementation of these values differs. Self determination in the West means that the choice of the individual should be respected in possible, unless it directly infringes the rights of a vulnerable third person. However, in Qatari society, self determination for the individual is limited within the boundaries of Islam and is not considered a right when it contradicts Islamic teaching. This does not mean that the Western approach and theories cannot be used in Qatari schools, but they can be used only when we give the necessary importance to the values and culture of Qatari society, where Islamic principles and teachings play a very important role. This study is not against Western social work as such, but suggests that we need to use the knowledge and development of social work in the West to develop social work in the Arab world. Within the overall Islamic framework of Islamic principles, the research uses explanatory hypotheses derived from Western role theory to organise and analyse the data. The data is derived from questionnaire surveys of school social workers in Qatar to establish their actual work priorities against their ideal work priorities. Questionnaire surveys of Social Education Department supervisors; heads of schools, teachers, parents and students were also carried out to determine their expectations of school social workers and their evaluations of how well school social workers performed in their role. The data is analysed in terms of the role theory components of: (a) socialisation - into the professional role (b) power - who has the power to determine behaviour in the role (c) complexity and simplicity - the degree of 'responsible autonomy' and the degree of discretion school social workers are supposed to enjoy, as against how they are controlled and directed by the other people (d) role conflict - an inevitable aspect of work in complex organisation. Conclusions are drawn indicating the modifications necessary to relate Western social work ideas of Qatari society and indicating that training for social work practice in an Islamic society should be more closely related to the school setting. The field of school social work is worthy of study in its own right. Unless it is carefully studies, casework, group work and community organisation cannot be effectively practiced within it.

description: It is a clear unique prediction of the cold dark matter paradigm of cosmological structure formation that galaxies form hierarchically and are embedded in massive, extended dark halos teeming with self-bound substructure or "subhalos". The amount and spatial distribution of subhalos around their host provide unique information and clues on the galaxy assembly process and the nature of the dark matter. Here we present results from the Via Lactea INCITE simulation, a one billion particle, one million cpu-hour simulation of the formation and evolution of a Galactic dark matter halo and its substructure population.

description: Water is an essential part of human life controlling the very own existence of life in the planet. Water is capable of influencing the economy of a particular region and thus is considered as a very important economic entity. The concept of water as an economic good came up during the preparatory meetings for the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro of 1992. Despite all these significance, water remains to be most over exploited and underrated resource in the world. Due to indiscriminate and uncontrolled use of this resource, large amount water is wasted; domestic wastages leading the list. This study seeks to understand the domestic usage pattern, scarcity and conservation methods that prevail in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. A survey was conducted in the district to understand the domestic patterns and study of comprehensive reports and articles was carried out to interpret the primary data obtained. The principle of Domestic water conservation here is about the optimization of water in domestic households, keeping in mind the economic relevance of water. Thus optimization systems such as flow rate regulation system, greywater harvesting system and rainwater harvesting system are suggested in the district. Optimization should always first focus on evaluating the possibilities of multiple use of this resource, and thus reuse of water becomes a very effective and suggested method of conservation. The district which is predominantly agrarian based, where majority use groundwater as their source of water are also facing a groundwater depletion which is invisible but dangerous in long run. Thus measures such as well refill and rain water harvesting is promoted in the study.

description: Background: Dose calculations for novel radiotherapy cancer treatments such as proton minibeam radiation therapy is often done using full Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. As MC simulations can be very time consuming for this kind of application, deep learning models have been considered to accelerate dose estimation in cancer patients. Purpose: This work systematically evaluates the dose prediction accuracy, speed and generalization performance of three selected state-of-the-art deep learning models for dose prediction applied to the proton minibeam therapy. The strengths and weaknesses of those models are thoroughly investigated, helping other researchers to decide on a viable algorithm for their own application. Methods: The following recently published models are compared: first, a 3D U-Net model trained as a regression network, second, a 3D U-Net trained as a generator of a generative adversarial network (GAN) and third, a dose transformer model which interprets the dose prediction as a sequence translation task. These models are trained to emulate the result of MC simulations. The dose depositions of a proton minibeam with a diameter of 800μm and an energy of 20–100 MeV inside a simple head phantom calculated by full Geant4 MC simulations are used as a case study for this comparison. The spatial resolution is 0.5 mm. Special attention is put on the evaluation of the generalization performance of the investigated models. Results: Dose predictions with all models are produced in the order of a second on a GPU, the 3D U-Net models being fastest with an average of 130 ms. An investigated 3D U-Net regression model is found to show the strongest performance with overall 61.0%±0.5% of all voxels exhibiting a deviation in energy deposition prediction of less than 3% compared to full MC simulations with no spatial deviation allowed. The 3D U-Net models are observed to show better generalization performance for target geometry variations, while the transformer-based model shows better generalization with regard to the proton energy. Conclusions: This paper reveals that (1) all studied deep learning models are significantly faster than non-machine learning approaches predicting the dose in the order of seconds compared to hours for MC, (2) all models provide reasonable accuracy, and (3) the regression-trained 3D U-Net provides the most accurate predictions.

description: A climate-friendly and CO2-neutral energy supply for agricultural farms concerns the electricity used for buildings and animal husbandry as well as the production of synthetic fuels for cultivating the fields. This strategy is in demand with many customers, e.g., the dairy cooperative Arla Foods, whose goal is the production of cowâ€™s milk with net-zero CO2 emissions by the year 2050. The operational energy system considered here included renewable electricity generation, covering electricity consumption in the cowshed, battery storage for times without electricity generation, the production of synthetic fuels and electricity feeding into the public power grid. Fluctuations depending on the day and the season were taken into account for electricity at 15-min intervals and for fuel per calendar week for one year. The aim was to determine the necessary capacities and the costs for renewable electricity and for synthetic fuel production of a survey dairy farm. The results showed that a farmâ€™s own electricity production is currently profitable; however, a farmâ€™s production of synthetic fuel still has comparatively high costs and therefore is not yet profitable. Further technical advances, rising prices of fossil fuels and economies of scale, e.g., larger cooperatively-operated plants, could help new technology to make a breakthrough.

description: It is shown that within a quantum system, the wave field has a (potential) energy content that can be exchanged with quantum particles. Energy conservation in quantum systems holds if potential energy is correctly taken to be a field attribute. From this perspective, a transfer of energy occurs on measurement from the wave field to a quantum particle and this provides a physical explanation of what is commonly referred to as the collapse of the wavefunction.

description: Discussions about the advantages, disadvantages, position, competitiveness and value of members of cooperatives are ongoing. However, the performance of farmer cooperatives vs investor-owned companies is not easy to analyze, measure and compare. A number of important issues in measuring and comparing the value of cooperatives are identified. The objectives and success criteria of the two types of companies are different and therefore the same indicators can not necessarily be used in a comparison. Several different indicators may be necessary to give a complete picture of the performance of cooperatives. From a theoretical point of view, potential advantages and disadvantages of farmer cooperatives are identified, and the cooperative model is shown to have significant and substantial both advantages and disadvantages. The existence of potential economic impacts of farmer cooperatives is tested by examples based on Danish conditions with access to relatively reliable databases. Indicators as market shares, financial robustness and profit sharing seem to support and confirm the assumption of cooperative benefits.

MATERIAL
3 ♂, 4 ♀ (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/ 10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh).
SIMILAR SPECIES
Angustalius malacellus (Duponchel, 1836).
DIAGNOSIS
This species is a commonly encountered Crambinae in South-East Asia. Accurate identification to separate it from A. malacellus is only possible by examination of male genitalia (Fig. 109): The gnathos is longer, the posterior margin of the sacculus is denticulate and lacks the ventral protrusion as in A. malacellus, the vinculum is proximally rounded, while it is pointed in A. malacellus, and the cornutus on the vesica is smaller than in A. malacellus (Błeszyński, 1965). Błeszyński (1965) could not find the specific differences in female genitalia between A. malacellus (Duponchel, 1836) and A. malacelloides (Błeszyński, 1955). A possible character separating A. malacelloides (Fig. 165) from A. malacellus is the lack of the broadened pouch of the ductus bursae in A. malacelloides.
DNA BARCODING
A maximum intraspecific p-distance of 0.6% is observed between sample MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-G12 from Luzon (Zambales) and the two samples from Borneo. The specimen MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-F12 (Panay) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-G12 (Luzon, Zambales) both represent a unique haplotype, while specimens MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL08-E12 (Panay) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-D08 (Luzon) share the haplotype with specimens from Borneo, Papua New Guinea, and New South Wales, Australia (see Fig. 179a).
DISTRIBUTION
AUSTRALIA; CHINA; INDIA; MALAYSIA; PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Benguet, Zambales), Panay; NEW ZEALAND. In the Philippines, the specimens were collected at altitudes between 250 and 900 m, with one single specimen encountered at 2350 m.

An exact analytic expression is also obtained for the autocorrelation function. The strong magnetic field case, where only few Landau levels are occupied, is also examined, and useful approximate expressions for the spatial and momentum densities are given.

description: From an agricultural perspective, both Ukraine and Russia have an interesting economic and agricultural development: First of all the breadbasket of Europe, later stagnation due to planned market economy, then new growth and large exports after the collapse of the Soviet Union, playing an important role in previous food crises - and now participants in a major political and military conflict with major potential consequences. Russia and Ukraine are both major agricultural countries, and the war between the two countries has greatly affected the international markets for agriculture and food illustrated by rising prices and price volatility. Both countries have again become very important exporters of cereals, and they have both previously had a significant impact on global food crises - in particular in 2010-11. Ukraine having favorable conditions for crop production has an important position in both the short and long term when it comes to supply of agricultural commodities on the international markets.

description: Wholesale electricity market and retail tariff design often uses anachronistic assumptions based on existing technology characteristics or historical computational and data limitations. This dissertation conducts four categories of analysis on how electricity market design can be modernized to increase efficiency and avert roadblocks to economy-wide deep decarbonization. First, electric utilities can capture most of the system benefit of customer-sited energy storage resource (ESR) adoption with critical peak pricing (CPP). CPP is proposed as a simple and Pareto-improving rate design for commercial and industrial customers with ESRs, similar to time-of-use rates for electric vehicle owners. Second, previous research quantifying correlated generator failures in the PJM Interconnection canbe incorporated in both resource adequacy and scarcity pricing using an operating reserve demand curve (ORDC). Because correlated failures occur at very high and low temperatures when electricity demand is highest, there are substantial effects on target winter and summer planning reserve margins and increased social welfare from better accounting for generator failure probability when designing ORDCs. Third, as electricity markets evolve toward higher shares of variable, low marginal cost resources with ESRs new rules are needed to ensure resources’ full, competitive participation. A bi-level model implemented on a realistic, high renewables nodal test system highlights strategiesESRs and hybrids can use to raise prices, particularly cross-product and decongestion strategies, and suggests offer uniformity over co-optimized temporal intervals as a remedy. Fourth, metrics like effective load carrying capability (ELCC) are increasingly common for quantifying the system dependent contribution of variable generation and ESRs to resource adequacy. Extending these methods to a zonal evaluation of resource adequacy using data from the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) shows transmission and ESRs have a complementarity benefit in zonal resource adequacy that is not realized by variable nor conventional generators, suggesting the importance of increased zonal representation in planning with ESRs.

description: 10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) liposomes surface modified with stearyl glycyrrhetinate (SG) were prepared by the film dispersion method. Characterization of the liposomes, including drug release in vitro, pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution, was done. HCPT in plasma and tissues was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Compared with the conventional HCPT-liposomes and commercially available hydroxycamptothecin injection (HCPT Inject), pharmacokinetic parameters indicated that SG-HCPT-liposomes had better bioavailability. Regarding tissue distribution, the concentration of HCPT loaded by SG modified liposomes in the liver was higher than other tissues and the risk to the kidney was lower than HCPT-liposomes and HCPT Inject. These results support the hypothesis that the HCPT-liposomes modified with SG show enhanced liver-targeting through the glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) receptor to be an efficient drug carrier, which may help to improve therapeutic methods for hepatic diseases in the future.

description: The veterinary profession demands holistic and multidisciplinary views that include health, herd animal welfare, human resources, and economic analysis. In this line, it is argued that work can be motivating when it is carried out in accompaniment to human resources. The objective of this work is to highlight, from the experiences of veterinarians, the aspects related to social sustainability in dairy farms and the new roles of the professional in the reproductive management of dairy cows. Within this framework, the professional prepared in sociological, biosafety and epidemiological aspects must implement standard operating procedures, staff training and auditing of reproductive management practices, foster a teamwork approach and monitoring through indicators for performance analysis, as measures of good practices that add value to production processes and enrich the work of human resources.

description: We propose a new light source based on having alkaline-earth atoms in an optical lattice collectively emit photons on an ultra-narrow clock transition into the mode of a high Q-resonator. The resultant optical radiation has an extremely narrow linewidth in the mHz range, even smaller than that of the clock transition itself due to collective effects. A power level of order $10^{-12}W$ is possible, sufficient for phase-locking a slave optical local oscillator. Realizing this light source has the potential to improve the stability of the best clocks by two orders of magnitude.

description: Following a long and controversial tradition of Japanese women in puppetry being banned by law from theatres from 1629, in 1926 something quite extraordinary happened which was both liberating and enriching for some female puppeteers only destined for careers outside theatres. Puppet-maker Hayashi Jiboku designed and made a special brace to enable one young woman on her own, to carry and manipulate in sight of the audience, one of the large, forbidden, three-man-operated bunraku puppets. The brace called udegane allowed the puppet to float apparently unsupported in front of her, to the delight of spectators. The puppeteer, bare-faced and “inhabiting” the inert stuff of the puppet, offered what became a performative bodily presence encapsulated in what later became otome bunraku. For this study, the nature of the visibly present puppeteer exemplified in otome bunraku can allow us to draw conclusions about puppeteer presence even when they are unseen in such as film or television and furthermore might be applied to puppetry in general. Seeing the Japanese otome bunraku puppeteer co-present with the puppet enables the spectator to validate and critique the artist’s performance of the puppet object manifested in its materials and techniques and the puppeteer’s own corporeality. Crucially, the excitement generated by watching the otome bunraku puppeteer operate puppets introduces us to the potential of the living puppeteer juxtaposed against the non-living puppet-object. Curiously, this is a reminder that although puppetry is commonly found in all kinds of theatre, surprisingly, although puppetry is a performance art, it is rooted not in theatre per se, but the world of objects and our relationships with them, how we own them and make performances out of them. Out of such fascination emerges the art of puppetry which has traditionally venerated the puppet and “its” performance while illogically, critically disinterested in the existence of the puppeteer. Grasping this historical moment in puppetry post Muppets and post War Horse, a puppeteer who is a maker, spectator, performer and teacher interweaves professional practice with the role of researcher and the specific medium of otome bunraku to produce a study which in conclusion disposes with any supposed unitary autonomy of the puppet replacing it and giving recognition to the ethical presence and intersubjectivity of the puppeteer-with-puppet-with-spectator.

description: Let $Γ$ be the fundamental group of a $k$-punctured, $k \geq 0$, closed connected orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$. We show that the character variety of the $(Q^+, Q^-)$-Anosov irreducible representations, resp. the character variety of the $(P^+, P^-)$-Anosov Zariski dense representations of $Γ$ into $\SL(n , \C)$, $n \geq 2$, is a complex manifold of complex dimension \hbox{$(2g+k-2)(n^2-1)$}. For $Γ=π_1(Σ_g)$, we also show that these character varieties are holomorphic symplectic manifolds.

description: Training in the management of the human resource in agricultural education has been long overlooked. While people remain one of the most important resources in agricultural production, an informal survey of 1862 Land Grant Universities in the United States found that only one in six Land Grants had a course dedicated to Human Resource Management in Agriculture. Another thirty-four percent address HRM as a component in another course, but fully half of the 1862 Land Grants do not teach students how to manage people. This paper examines some of the historical underpinnings of this oversight and efforts and methods to address the issue.

description: Neutrino-induced pion production on nuclear targets is the major inelastic channel in all present-day neutrino-oscillation experiments. It has to be understood quantitatively in order to be able to reconstruct the neutrino-energy at experiments such as MiniBooNE or K2K and T2K. We report here results of cross section calculations for both this channel and for quasielastic scattering within the semiclassical GiBUU method. This methods contains scattering, both elastic and inelastic, absorption and side-feeding of channels all in a unitary, common theoretical framework and code. We find that charged current quasielastic scattering (CCQE) and $1 π$ production are closely entangled in actual experiments, due to final state interactions of the scattered nucleons on one hand and of the $Δ$ resonances and pions, on the other hand. We discuss the uncertainties in the elementary pion production cross sections from ANL and BNL. We find the surprising result that the recent $1 π$ production cross section data from MiniBooNE are well described by calculations without any FSI. For higher energies we study the validity of the Bloom-Gilman quark-hadron duality for both electron- and neutrino-induced reactions. While this duality holds quite well for nucleon targets, for nuclear targets the average resonance contributions to the structure function $F_2$ are always lower than the DIS values. This result indicates a significant impact of nuclear effects on observables, reducing the cross section and structure functions by at least 30-40% and changing the form of various distributions.

How is the Power Threat Meaning Framework being used by Clinical Psychologists in Clinical Practice?
Creators: name: Omur, Dilara
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2023
Subjects: Power Threat Meaning Framework
PTMF

description: Background: The Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) was published in 2018 as an alternative to psychiatric diagnosis, a way of conceptualising psychological distress through a contextual framework.

Objective: This study seeks to explore how the PTMF is being used by Clinical Psychologists in clinical practice, what factors may be facilitating or hindering its use and what theoretical implications this may have for the profession.

Methods: A qualitative methodological approach was taken. The study involved individual semi-structured interviews with 10 UK Clinical Psychologists working clinically with the PTMF. Data was analysed using thematic analysis, from a critical realist epistemological position.

Results: Three superordinate themes were identified from the analysis, Supporting Conceptual Change, Clinical Usefulness of the Framework and Facilitating Institutional Change. Subordinate themes are expanded on within these.

Conclusions: The study demonstrates that the PTMF was felt to be conceptually and clinically useful to the practitioners making use of it. The PTMF was described by the participants as being applicable to numerous clinical activities, supporting the multifaceted nature of their roles and allowing for an integrative clinical approach as it was seen to both supplement and complement existing ways of working. Limitations to the PTMF, such as its potentially confusing terms and concepts, and challenges in applying it in clinical contexts are also highlighted. Implications and recommendations for widening the PTMF’s use clinically and for future research on the topic are discussed.

DIAGNOSIS
Moths of the genus Catoptria usually have tawny to brown forewings with a broad white fascia running from the base to the subterminal area, in some species disrupted by median and postmedian lines (Błeszyński, 1965; pers. obs.). The male genitalia exhibit the following characters: uncus well-developed, slender, with apex pointing downwards; gnathos roughly as long as uncus, slender, apex usually pointing downwards, often with subapical dorsal tip; valva with costal arm; sacculus often with free, sclerotized projection; phallus often with subapical or apical spines and with cornuti (Błeszyński, 1965; pers. obs.). The female genitalia show the following characters: papillae anales not coalesced dorsally and ventrally; anterior apophyses reduced; ostium pouch strongly sclerotized; ductus bursae with basal half strongly sclerotized, often curved; corpus bursae with one signum (Błeszyński, 1965; pers. obs.).
DISTRIBUTION
Found in the Holarctic region. Eighty-eight species are currently reported from the genus.
PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS
Catoptria is sister to the Holarctic genus Agriphila (Léger et al., 2019).

FAIRsFAIR Project

description: The poster gives an overview of the transition of the Repository Finder [1] into DataCite Commons [2] within the FAIRsFAIR project to enable researchers identify FAIR enabling repositories [3] to either deposit their research data or find research output, organizations or researchers related to the repository. Using re3data as an extensive source for research data repositories the poster will also provide insights on the implementation of the related changes to the metadata schema and the API of re3data, being initial work towards greater FAIRness.These activities are carried out within the framework of the re3data COREF project [4]. As there are still many open questions like community agreed PIDs for repositories, final implementation of a “FAIR certification”, or collaboration with other catalogues and registries describing repositories, the poster session shall foster discussions about future works on these topics and evaluate reasonable developments to be integrated in the time to come.

Tensor damping in metallic magnetic multilayers
Creators: name: Smith, Neil

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mechanism of spin-pumping, described by Tserkovnyak et al., is formally analyzed in the general case of a magnetic multilayer consisting of two or more metallic ferromagnetic (FM) films separated by normal metal (NM) layers. It is shown that the spin-pumping-induced dynamic coupling between FM layers modifies the linearized Gilbert equations in a way that replaces the scalar Gilbert damping constant with a nonlocal matrix of Cartesian damping tensors. The latter are shown to be methodically calculable from a matrix algebra solution of the Valet-Fert transport equations. As an example, explicit analytical results are obtained for a 5-layer (spin-valve) of form NM/FM/NM'/FM/NM. Comparisons with earlier well known results of Tserkovnyak et al. for the related 3-layer FM/NM/FM indicate that the latter inadvertently hid the tensor character of the damping, and instead singled out the diagonal element of the local damping tensor along the axis normal to the plane of the two magnetization vectors. For spin-valve devices of technological interest, the influence of the tensor components of the damping on thermal noise or spin-torque critical currents are strongly weighted by the relative magnitude of the elements of the nonlocal, anisotropic stiffness-field tensor-matrix, and for in-plane magnetized spin-valves are generally more sensitive to the in-plane element of the damping tensor.

description: South Africa is a water scarce country, and there is increased pressure on the scarce freshwater resource. Water footprints have emerged as a useful indicator to report water consumption associated with a product. Additionally, when interpreting water footprints in the context of water scarcity in the production regions, important judgement can be made about the sustainability with which water is used to produce the product. This study aimed to assess the water footprint of tobacco in a key tobacco production region in South Africa, and to assess the water scarcity situation in that region to allow for judgment of the sustainability with which water is used to produce tobacco in that region. The results show that 1551 m3of water is used to produce one ton of tobacco, of which about 60% is sourced from effective rainfall. The remaining 40% is met through supplementary irrigation. The period when tobacco requires most water corresponds with the period where the blue water scarcity index is less than 100%, suggesting that tobacco production in that particular region is sustainable from a water use perspective.
