description: Recent advancements in robot capabilities have enabled them to interact with people in various human-social environments (HSEs). In many of these environments, the perception of the robot often depends on its capabilities, e.g., task competency, language fluency, etc. To enable fluent human-robot interaction (HRI) in HSEs, it is crucial to understand the impact of these capabilities on the perception of the robot. Although many works have investigated the effects of various robot capabilities on the robot's perception separately, in this paper, we present a large-scale HRI study (n = 60) to investigate the combined impact of both language fluency and task competency on the perception of a robot. The results suggest that while language fluency may play a more significant role than task competency in the perception of the verbal competency of a robot, both language fluency and task competency contribute to the perception of the intelligence and reliability of the robot. The results also indicate that task competency may play a more significant role than language fluency in the perception of meeting expectations and being a good teammate. The findings of this study highlight the relationship between language fluency and task competency in the context of social HRI and will enable the development of more intelligent robots in the future.

description: Southern bacterial wilt caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum, E.F. Smith, a soil borne bacterial pathogen, is one of the most threatening plant diseases in the Caribbean, and elsewhere in the hot humid tropics. The disease affects all solanaceous crops; eggplant, pepper, tomato and tobacco. Ho one control measure is effective against this disease, but varietal resistance combined with adequate cultural practices is effective. Though some soils were known to be resistant (black clay vertisols), the disease appeared recently in such soils . . In 1966, a local wild tomato, CRA 66, was found resistant to the disease in Guadeloupe. eRA 66 was used in breeding for resistance which led to the release of cv, Caraibo, whose resistance has been assessed worldwide. Other resistant sources, such as PI 126408, Hawaii 7996 and introductions from Taiwan (AVRDC) and Japan, are used in our current breeding program to ensure stability of the resistance.

description: The objective of processed food inventories is to develop a quick sense for (a) the range of processed foods available for sale at retail in urban markets, and (b) the number and relative prevalence of companies and products that are (i) manufactured locally, (ii) imported from regional neighbors, and (iii) imported from the “world market.”1 The emphasis is on numbers of products and companies; no attempt is made to estimate volumes. Limiting the objectives in this way allows the work to generate valid data without statistical sampling, which results in much quicker data collection and much lower cost. Typically such an inventory would be done only as the first step in a broader research program that will later collect more detailed quantitative data based on statistical samples.

description: We study the formation of off-axis optical vortices propagating inside a double-Raman gain atomic medium. The atoms interact with two weak probe fields as well as two strong pump beams which can carry orbital angular momentum (OAM). We consider a situation when only one of the strong pump lasers carries an OAM. A particular superposition of probe fields coupled to the matter is shown to form specific optical vortices with shifted axes. Such off-axis vortices can propagate inside the medium with sub- or superluminal group velocity depending on the value of the two-photon detuning. The superluminal optical vortices are associated with the amplification as the energy of pump fields is transferred to the probe fields. The position of the peripheral vortices can be manipulated by the OAM and intensity of the pump fields. We show that the exchange of optical vortices is possible between individual probe beams and the pump fields when the amplitude of the second probe field is zero at the beginning of the atomic cloud. The model is extended to a more complex double Raman doublet interacting with four pump fields. In contrast to the double-Raman-singlet, now the generation of the off-axis sub- or superluminal optical vortices is possible even for zero two-photon detuning.

description: In Südchile wurden Verbreitung und Aufbau der Sphagnum-Moore untersucht. Maßgeblich für die Bildung von Hochmooren ist ein Jahresniederschlag von mindestens 500 mm. Im Wesentlichen greift die Verbreitung der Sphagnum-Hochmoore nicht über das Areal der sommergrünen Laubwälder hinaus, nur auf Feuerland finden sich Sphagnum-Hochmoore auch im Randbereich der Steppe. Die Sphagnum-Hochmoore im Untersuchungsgebiet sind meist kleinflächig und unter 1 km2 groß. Der größte Teil der Sphagnum-Torfe besteht aus Weißtorf. Schwarztorf kommt meist nur geringmächtig vor. Die Sphagnum-Torfe werden meistens, vielleicht sogar regelmäßig, von Braunmoos- oder Radizellentorf unterlagert. Es werden Vorschläge für eine regionale Inventarisierung der Sphagnum-Moore Südchiles und deren anschließende botanische Bewertung erarbeitet, die als Grundlage für eine nachhaltige Nutzung der Hochmoore dienen.

description: The Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) is a temporal record of the sky over the optical magnitude range from 8 to 15.5. It was conducted in the course of the first generation Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE-I) using a robotic system of four co-mounted unfiltered telephoto lenses equipped with CCD cameras. The survey was conducted from Los Alamos, NM, and primarily covers the entire northern sky. Some data in southern fields between declinations 0 and -38 deg is also available, although with fewer epochs and noticeably lesser quality. The NSVS contains light curves for approximately 14 million objects. With a one year baseline and typically 100-500 measurements per object, the NSVS is the most extensive record of stellar variability across the bright sky available today. In a median field, bright unsaturated stars attain a point to point photometric scatter of ~0.02 mag and position errors within 2 arcsec. At Galactic latitudes |b| < 20 deg the data quality is limited by severe blending due to ~14 arcsec pixel size. We present basic characteristics of the data set and describe data collection, analysis, and distribution. All NSVS photometric measurements are available for on-line public access from the Sky Database for Objects in Time-Domain (SkyDOT; http://skydot.lanl.gov) at LANL. Copies of the full survey photometry may also be requested on tape.

Experiment station and "on-farm" trials were conducted in addition to monitoring small farmers cabbage crops for DBM and Apanteles plutellae population levels. Pennethrin, Bacillus' thuringiensis (Berliner), and pirimiphos-methyl, controlled DaM adequately. Peaks in A. plutellae parasitism coincided with a predominance of 4th instar larvae. The presence of high parasite populations delayed the time to first spray. A relative growth rate analysis of DBM populations indicated that growth rates are correlated to percent A. plutellae parasitism. It is hypothesized that parasitism levels exceeding 25-35% may control DBM populations.

The gradients are computed with respect to Sobolev inner products similar to the $W^{3/2,2}$-inner product. This leads to optimization methods that are significantly more efficient and robust than standard techniques based on $L^2$-gradients.

description: In St. Vincent, arrowroot leaf-roller Calpodes ethlius (Cramer) is the major pest of arrowroot (Haranta arundinacea), and causes a reduction in the starch yield of the rhizomes. During the period 1982' - 1984, it was found that the pest was more numerous between July and November, the infestation was slightly lower in the North of Dry River and the two varieties 'Banana' and 'Creole' grown in the island were equally susceptible to the pest. The two larval parasites, Ardalus (~Elachertus) sp. and Bracon sp., (despite their secondary parasites) are the most important biocontrol agents which keep the pest under reasonable control. The 'Jack Spaniard" PoUstes cinctus cinctus , Polybia occidentalis grenadensis, Anoplius sp. and Prionyx thomae play a significant role in the reduction of the pest
Whose Side are Ethics Codes On? Power, Responsibility and the Social Good

description: The moral authority of ethics codes stems from an assumption that they serve a unified society, yet this ignores the political aspects of any shared resource. The sociologist Howard S. Becker challenged researchers to clarify their power and responsibility in the classic essay: Whose Side Are We On. Building on Becker's hierarchy of credibility, we report on a critical discourse analysis of data ethics codes and emerging conceptualizations of beneficence, or the "social good", of data technology. The analysis revealed that ethics codes from corporations and professional associations conflated consumers with society and were largely silent on agency. Interviews with community organizers about social change in the digital era supplement the analysis, surfacing the limits of technical solutions to concerns of marginalized communities. Given evidence that highlights the gulf between the documents and lived experiences, we argue that ethics codes that elevate consumers may simultaneously subordinate the needs of vulnerable populations. Understanding contested digital resources is central to the emerging field of public interest technology. We introduce the concept of digital differential vulnerability to explain disproportionate exposures to harm within data technology and suggest recommendations for future ethics codes.

Understanding magnetic instability in gapless superconductors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Magnetic instability in gapless superconductors still remains as a puzzle. In this article, we point out that the instability might be caused by using BCS theory in mean-field approximation, where the phase fluctuation has been neglected. The mean-field BCS theory describes very well the strongly coherent or rigid superconducting state. With the increase of mismatch between the Fermi surfaces of pairing fermions, the phase fluctuation plays more and more important role, and "soften" the superconductor. The strong phase fluctuation will eventually quantum disorder the superconducting state, and turn the system into a phase-decoherent pseudogap state.

description: The management of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in carrot was studied over a three-year period in Sl. Vincent. Onion (Al1ium cepa), chive (Allium schaenoprassum), corn (Zea mais) and eddoe (Colocasia esculcnta var. antiquorum) were found effective in reducing root-knot nematode population densities in the soil. Cropping systems were then designed and tested for their effectiveness in reducing nematode population densities and galling damage in carrot (Daucus carata). Cabbage-carrot, chive-carrot and onion-carrot were found to be the most effective. Cabbage-carrot and chive-carrot significantly reduced unmarketable yields and root damage in carrots as compared to carrot monoculture. Root gall index was positively correlated with unmarketable yields. Economic analysis showed that the two intercropping systems were more efficient in the use of land, labour and capital resources than carrot monoculture, and that the overall farm income is greatly increased by intercropping carrot with cabbage or chive.

description: We report a quasi-periodic pulsation (QPP) event simultaneously detected from the spatial displacements of coronal loop at both EUV images and microwave emission during the preflare phase of a C1.1 flare on 2016 March 23. Using the motion magnification technique, a low-amplitude transverse oscillation with the growing period is discovered in a diffuse coronal loop in Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) image sequences at wavelength of 171 A, and the initial oscillation period is estimated to be ~397 s with a slow growth rate of 0.045. At the same time, a QPP with growing periods from roughly 300 s to nearly 500 s is discovered in the microwave flux in the same active region. Based on the imaging observations measured at EUV wavelengths by the AIA and at microwave 17 GHz by Nobeyama Radioheliograph, the diffuse coronal loop and the microwave radiation source are found to be connected through a hot loop seen in AIA images at wavelength of 94 A. The growing period of the QPP should be related to the modulation of LRC-circuit oscillating process in a current-carrying plasma loop. The existence of electric currents may imply the non-potentialities in the source region during the preflare phase.

description: The Inter-Regional Research Project, No.4 (IR-4) is a USDA-CSRS and ARS sponsored program to develop data required by the EPA for pesticide, biorational and drug labels for minor or speciality uses. In Puerto Rico, IR-4 pesticide research efforts have been directed towards determining efficacy, effect on yield, residues and phytotoxicity data to obtain tolerances for the pesticide/crop combinations: ametryn/yam, tanier and cassava; prometryn and metribuzin/pigeon pea; paraquat and glyphosate/acerola; chloramben and paraquat/pigeon pea. Most of the data has resulted in Federal or Special Local Need registrations. Field and residue work has also been completed for fluvalinate and captafol/coffee; methomyl/sugar cane; acephate and esfenvalerate/ pineapple; paraquat/cassava. tanier and yam and; fluazifop-p-butyl, fenallliphos and oxamYl/cooking peppers. With IR-4 collaboration, tolerances and exemptions established for pesticide residues on bananas have been extended to plantains, from sweet potatoes to yam and from peas to pigeon pea. The inclusion of specific crops grown in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Basin into EPA's crop groupings has also been achieved. Problems affecting tolerance approvals and label development by EPA are discussed.

WEBER (1902) „Über die Vegetation und Entstehung des Hochmoors von Augstumal im Memeldelta“ bei Paul Parey in Berlin erschienen ist. In diesem klassischen Buch wurden erstmalig fundamentale Aspekte zur Entwicklung von Mooren beschrieben. CARL ALBERT WEBER hat mit diesem Buch die Entwicklung der Moorkunde im 20. Jahrhundert grundsätzlich und weltweit beeinflusst. Die ursprüngliche Arbeit wird noch immer oft zitiert, ist aber – wegen ihrer geringen Verbreitung - tatsächlich von nur wenigen Moorfreunden und -kundlern gelesen worden. Die Jahrhundertfeier des Buches war Anlass, die Arbeit ins Englische zu übersetzen (eine hervorragende Arbeit von JOHN COUWENBERG aus Greifswald), neu herauszugeben und somit breit verfügbar zu machen. Das Jubiläum war für die DGMT-Sektionen I und V auch Anreiz, ein Symposium zu organisieren. Es fand vom 2.-6. Oktober 2002 in Juknaicˇiai (Litauen) statt und wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit der International Mire Conservation Group, dem botanischen Institut Vilnius und dem Nemunas-Delta Regionalpark (Litauen) ausgerichtet, in dessen Grenzen sich das Augstumal-Moor befindet.

description: Reported here is the first demonstration of electron beam generation in an SRF TESLA 1.3 GHz gun equipped with field emission cathode when operated at 2 Kelvin. The cathode is submicron film of nitrogen-incorporated ultrananocrystalline diamond [(N)UNCD] deposited atop a Nb RRR300 cathode plug. The output current was measured to increase exponentially as a function of the cavity gradient. Our results demonstrate a feasible path toward simplified fully cryogenic SRF injector technology. One important finding is that the electron emitter made of (N)UNCD, a material long been known as a highly efficient field emission material, demonstrated a record low turn-on gradient of 0.6 MV/m. A hypothesis explaining this behavior is proposed.

Zur Ökologie der Wuchsformen von Pinus sylvestris L. im Moosfenn bei Potsdam
The ecology of the shape of Pinus sylvestris L. in the Moosfenn near Potsdam
Creators: name: Landgraf, Lukas
Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2006

description: Abstract: The Moosfenn near Potsdam is completly covered by scots pine on wet to dry locations. Their morphology and growth were described in respect to waterlevel and its fluctuation. Investigations were made to describe three shapes of Pinus sylvestris with the special focus on needle length, length of internodes, year ring-width, height, habit and location. In bogs just one shape of scots pine is known today. This paper describes three typical shapes of pine as “turfosa”, “intermedia” and “uliginosa”. Their occurrence correlates closely with the height and the fluctuation of the water level. Therefore the described shapes of pine in bogs arise predominantly zonal. Natural regeneration was observed only in the zones with turfosa- and intermedia-shapes. During germinating on wet surfaces the growth of Pinus sylvestris is clearly restrained. Depending on waterlevel three different root types develop. During the whole development the waterlevel predicts at the most the environmental factor for all three shapes of pine. Two basic growth strategies exist. Small light pines grow upright, big heavy pines disperse their weight on the bog ground. The dying of pines is due to root stocks sinking into the katotelm, by lack of light and by overbalance through wind and overweight.

Probability Density Functions of Decaying Passive Scalars in Periodic Domains : An Application of Sinai-Yakhot Theory

description: Employing the formalism introduced by Sinai and Yakhot [PRL, 63(18), p. 1962, 1989], we study the probability density functions (pdf's) of decaying passive scalars in periodic domains under the influence of smooth large scale velocity fields. The particular regime we focus on is one where the normalized scalar pdf's attain a self-similar profile in finite time, i.e., the so called strange or statistical eigenmode regime. In accordance with the work of Sinai and Yakhot, the central regions of the pdf's are power laws. But the details of the pdf profiles are dependent on the physical parameters in the problem. Interestingly, for small Peclet numbers the pdf's {\it resemble} stretched or pure exponential functions, whereas in the limit of large Peclet numbers, there emerges a universal Gaussian form for the pdf. Numerical simulations are used to verify these predictions.

description: Abstract : In the European Bird Reserve, “Eastern Ore Mountains around Fürstenau“ (Free state of Saxony) there are nearly natural bogs. A large variety of birds are adapted to these habitats. In the past the area of these habitats was reduced dramatically, according to drainage, like in a proportional area, namely the nature reserve “Fürstenauer Heide” with 7,2 ha. A breeding bird community lived there for 25 years, after the mining of peat has terminated. The birds to be found prefer sparse deciduous forest, but species specialiced to bogs are rare. To improve the population of the latter the regeneration of bogs is essential. Bog protection is – for instance – of great importance to the Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix) in the Ore Mountains, whose population has become the biggest one of the central-european highlands.
description: Zusammenfassung: Im europäischen Vogelschutzgebiet „Osterzgebirge um Fürstenau“ (Freistaat Sachsen) sind naturnahe Moore und die dafür spezifische Vogelwelt nur noch in Resten vorhanden. Ein abgetorfter Hochmoorstandort, das Naturschutzgebiet „Fürstenauer Heide“ (7,2 ha), weist eine seit 25 Jahren relativ stabile Brutvogelgemeinschaft aus lichten Laubwald bevorzugenden Arten auf, in der moortypische Arten fast völlig fehlen. Die Pflege und Regeneration von Mooren ist für mehrere wertgebende, gefährdete Vogelarten von lebenswichtiger Bedeutung. Dies gilt insbesondere für das Birkhuhn (Tetrao tetrix), welches im Erzgebirge die größte Population der zentraleuropäischen Mittelgebirge besitzt.

For strong monitoring, however, the dynamics favors a transition into a quantum Zeno-like area-law regime. Close to the critical point, we observe logarithmic finite size corrections, indicating a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless mechanism underlying the transition. This uncovers an unconventional entanglement transition in an elementary, physically realistic model for weak continuous measurements. In addition, we demonstrate that the measurement aspect in the dynamics is crucial for whether or not a phase transition takes place.

description: In the 3-flavour framework we derive a simple approximate analytic expression for the day-night difference of the flux of solar $ν_e$ at terrestrial detectors which is valid for an arbitrary Earth density profile. Our formula has the accuracy of a few per cent and reproduces all the known analytic expressions for the Earth matter effects on the solar neutrino oscillations obtained under simplifying assumptions about the Earth's density profile (matter of constant density, 3 layers of constant densities, and adiabatic approximation). It can also be used for studying the Earth matter effects on the oscillations of supernova neutrinos. We also discuss the possibility of probing the leptonic mixing angle $θ_{13}$ through day--night asymmetry measurements at future water Cherenkov solar neutrino detectors. We show that, depending on the measured value of the asymmetry, the current upper bound on $θ_{13}$ may be improved, or even a lower bound on this mixing parameter may be obtained.

description: A weed survey conducted to determine the incidence of Parthenium hysterophorous l. (f) in vegetable crops during the wet and dry seasons in Trinidad indicated that the plant is a predominant noxious weed. It has shown the ability to survive bipyridylium herbicide treatments, and biological and cultural control was insignificant in reducing the population of the weed. The weed reduced crop yield in tomato (lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cv, Calypso by 10~ and crop quality in Cauliflower (Brassica aleracea var. botrytis l.j by 75-100% due to its competitive ability and allelopathic potential. The plant served as a suitable 'resting site' for the adult insect pest Plutella xylostella (l.) (Lepidoptera: Yponomenitidae) which attacks cruciferous crops.

The Crystallography of Aluminum and its Alloys
Creators: name: Nakashima, Philip N. H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This chapter begins with pure aluminium and a discussion of the form of the crystal structure and different unit cells that can be used to describe the crystal structure. Measurements of the face-centred cubic lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient in pure aluminium are reviewed and parametrisations given that allow the reader to evaluate them across the full range of temperatures where aluminium is a solid. A new concept called the vacancy triangle is introduced and demonstrated as an effective means for determining vacancy concentrations near the melting point of aluminium. The Debye-Waller factor, quantifying the thermal vibration of aluminium atoms in pure aluminium, is reviewed and parametrised over the full range of temperatures where aluminium is a solid. The nature of interatomic bonding and the history of its characterisation in pure aluminium is reviewed with the unequivocal conclusion that it is purely tetrahedral in nature. The crystallography of aluminium alloys is then discussed in terms of all of the concepts covered for pure aluminium, using prominent alloy examples. The electron density domain theory of solid-state nucleation and precipitate growth is introduced and discussed as a new means of rationalising phase transformations in alloys from a crystallographic point of view.

description: Das Heidelberger Becken wird aktuell durch neue Kernbohrungen untersucht, um das Wissen hinsichtlich der Steuerung der pliozänen und quartären Sedimentation durch Klima und (Neo)Tektonik zu erweitern. Es wird erwartet, dass das Heidelberger Becken eine Schlüsselstelle für eine verbesserte Korrelation von Parametern darstellt, welche die Klimaentwicklung in Nordeuropa und im alpinen Raum charakterisieren. Besondere Bedeutung hat daher die Gewinnung von Sedimentsukzessionen hoher zeitlicher Auflösung, die im Hinblick auf die Ablagerung kalt- und warmzeitlicher pleistozäner Sedimente in Superposition möglichst vollständig sind. Im Vorfeld der neuen Kernbohrungen bei Viernheim und Heidelberg wurden geophysikalische Vorerkundungen durchgeführt, um Bohrlokationen zu identifizieren, die diesen Ansprüchen am besten genügen. Im Bereich Heidelberg wird die größte negative Schwereanomalie des gesamten Oberrheingrabens beobachtet (mit Ausnahme der Alpen), was auf ungewöhnlich mächtige Sedimentablagerungen hindeutet. Aber insbesondere reflexionsseismische Messungen haben zur Auswahl der Bohrpunkte beigetragen. Im Stadtbereich von Heidelberg ist zum ersten Mal das Depozentrum des Heidelberger Beckens kartiert worden, abgebildet durch eine zusätzliche Absenkung gegenüber der Umgebung. In diesem Gebiet fallen die Sedimente zum Östlichen Grabenrand hin ein. Dies wird als ‘Rollover’ Struktur interpretiert, die in Verbindung mit der maximalen Subsidenz des Oberrheingrabens in diesem Bereich steht. An der Bohrlokation Viernheim konnten durch die Seismik zahlreiche Störungen abgebildet werden. Obwohl diese im Wesentlichen auf Tiefenbereiche größer 225 m beschränkt sind, wurde der Bohransatzpunkt schließlich aufgrund dieser Informationen gewählt.

Unboxing Virgil ADTs for Fun and Profit

description: Algebraic Data Types (ADTs) are an increasingly common feature in modern programming languages. In many implementations, values of non-nullary, multi-case ADTs are allocated on the heap, which may reduce performance and increase memory usage. This work explores annotation-guided optimizations to ADT representation in Virgil, a systems-level programming language that compiles to x86, x86-64, Wasm and the Java Virtual Machine.
 We extend Virgil with annotations: #unboxed to eliminate the overhead of heap allocation via automatic compiler transformation to a scalar representation, and #packed, to enable programmer-expressed bit-layouts. These annotations allow programmers to both save memory and manipulate data in formats dictated by hardware. We dedicate this work as an homage and echo of work done in collaboration with Jens in the work entitled "A Declarative Approach to Generating Machine Code Tools", an unpublished manuscript from 2005. In fact, this work inherits some syntactic conventions from that prior work. The performance impact of these representation changes was evaluated on a variety of workloads in terms of execution time and memory usage, but we don't include it because Jens like semantics and type systems better!
title: 'God has not left himself without witness': A Critical Examination of the 'Fulfilment' Concept in the Christian Understanding of Other Religions in Indian Christian Thought, with special reference to the Contribution of Krishna Mohan Banerjea and Sadhu Sundar Singh to Protestant Fulfilment Theology
Creators: name: Satyavrata, Ivan Morris
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The Christian Church has since its inception formulated various ways of relating its claims regarding the decisive and universal significance of the Christ-event to the religious traditions and experience of people of other faiths. A common theme that undergirds several of the approaches that have emerged in the history of the Christian engagement with other religions is the fulfilment concept. The fulfilment concept, with its roots in the New Testament and the early church fathers, continues to find prominence and creative theological expression in Roman Catholic circles. Protestant fulfilment theology, however, reached the peak of its development in the early years of the twentieth century, and subsequently fell into decline. This study presents a case for the revitalization of the Protestant fulfilment tradition based on a recovery and assessment of the fulfilment approaches of Indian Christian converts in the pre-independence period, focussing especially on the views of Krishna Mohan Banerjea and Sadhu Sundar Singh. Our analyses of the fulfilment approaches of Indian converts furnish us with a conceptual framework for a cumulative fulfilment proposal which complements the nineteenth century Protestant fulfilment tradition. The experience of Indian converts affords significant evidence to c9nfirm the fulfilment claim that there are elements in the Hindu tradition that can serve as a 'pedagogy' to Christ. It offers empirical verification of a trinitarian scheme of progressive, differentiated and complementary divine revelation for affirming revelational continuity between Christianity and Hinduism. It also provides components for a theologically coherent Christology upon which to base the fulfilment proposal. The fulfilment approaches of Indian converts help authenticate the plausibility of fulfilment theology, confirming its adequacy over alternative explanations, in affirming the particular truth claims of the Christian faith while ascribing genuine value to the religious traditions and experience of people of other faiths. The recovery of Protestant fulfilment theology requires attention to several pending tasks, including the development of a Christian hermeneutic of non-Christian texts, and a careful assessment of the influence of the fulfilment concept among Hindu converts and "non-baptised believers in Christ" today. This study contributes towards that recovery.

description: There are at least forty-two viny weed species found in the Eastern Caribbean, belonging to twelve botanical families. The Convolvulaceae has fifteen species from five genera, and the Fabaceae has twelve species from ten genera. These viny weeds are known by a variety of vernacular names, though two, including a very striking common weed, appear to have no recognized and accepted names. A simple key is presented, but it does not claim to be inclusive of all viny species. Simple brief descriptions are given.

description: General Relativity resembles a very elegant crystal glass: If we touch its principles, that is, its Lagrangian, there is a risk of breaking everything. Or, if we will, it is like a short blanket: Curing some problems creates new problems. This paper is devoted to bring to light the reasons why we pursue the possibility of a non-Lagrangian theory of gravity under the hypothesis of an extension of the original general relativity with an ansatz inspired in the fundamental principles of classical and quantum physics.

description: The ability of nonlinear dynamical systems to process incoming information is a key problem of many fundamental and applied sciences. Information processing by computation with attractors (steady states, limit cycles and strange attractors) has been a subject of many publications. In this paper we discuss a new direction in information dynamics based on neurophysiological experiments that can be applied for the explanation and prediction of many phenomena in living biological systems and for the design of new paradigms in neural computation. This new concept is the Winnerless Competition (WLC) principle. The main point of this principle is the transformation of the incoming identity or spatial inputs into identity-temporal output based on the intrinsic switching dynamics of the neural system. In the presence of stimuli the sequence of the switching, whose geometrical image in the phase space is a heteroclinic contour, uniquely depends on the incoming information. The key problem in the realization of the WLC principle is the robustness against noise and, simultaneously, the sensitivity of the switching to the incoming input. In this paper we prove two theorems about the stability of the sequential switching and give several examples of WLC networks that illustrate the coexistence of sensitivity and robustness.

description: Es wird der Versuch unternommen, auf der Basis von Geröllanalysen die Menge der Abtragungsprodukte des Thüringer Waldes im Weser-Fluß-System zu bestimmen. Die errechnete Menge wird in Bezug gesetzt zu der Größe des Abtragungsgebietes. Daraus ergibt sich, daß innerhalb der letzten 200 000 Jahre mindestens eine Schicht von 50 m Mächtigkeit abgetragen worden sein muß. Um die Höhe des Gebirges unverändert zu belassen, müsste eine junge Hebung von 1/4 mm pro Jahr angenommen werden. Solche Vorgaben sollten zu einer kritischen Diskussion Anlaß geben.
