description: The spiralling whitefly Aleurodicus dispersus Russell was introduced to Africa and Asia during the 1990s. Among its potential biological control agents is the predatory coccinellid, Nephaspis bicolor Gordon. Since the coccinellid may be required to control A. dispersus under variable climatic conditions, four temperature (20-34°C) and two RH (78% and 90%) (55% RH at 26°C only) regimes were evaluated under laboratory conditions in Trinidad and Tobago. Temperature (but not RH) had significant effects on the development rate of all stages of N. bicolor and on the pupal and adult sizes. Interactions between temperature and RH were significant only for egg incubation and total duration and for size of the pupa. Mortality during development was highest at 30°C/90% RH and lowest at 23°C/78% RH. Both temperature and RH significantly affected the preoviposition period, while temperature alone affected longevity and lifetime fecundity. Adult survival at 26°C and 55% RH as well as 90% RH was significantly higher compared to all the other treatments. Based on the life table statistics, the best performance of female N. bicolor was at 26°C and 55% RH. Although feeding, survival, development and reproduction occurred under all the temperature and RH regimes, constant low and high temperatures were not conducive to the coccinellid since the survival of immature stages and adults was greatly reduced. Thus, the introduction of N. bicolor into such environments may not result in long-term establishment. It may be necessary to ‘thermally adapt’ the beetles prior to release and/or to time the field releases to coincide with favourable environmental conditions. Another solution may lie in maintaining laboratory cultures of N. bicolor and making periodic (inoculative/augmentative) releases.

description: Laboratory studies were carried out to assess the effects of feeding on different prey species either individually or in a sequential combination, on the development, survival and reproduction of Nephaspis bicolor Gordon (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Three species of Aleyrodidae were used as prey, two from the subfamily Aleurodicinae (Aleurodicus cocois Curtis and Aleurodicus pulvinatus Maskell on coconut and seagrape, respectively), and one from the subfamily Aleyrodinae (Aleurothrixus floccosus Maskell on guava). Based on development rate and the size of adults, A. floccosus was the most suitable prey for larvae. Prey species affected lifetime fecundity with beetles ovipositing significantly more eggs when fed A. floccosus. Rearing N. bicolor on A. floccosus and A. cocois produced the fittest adults in terms of population growth statistics. Prey substitution in larval stages did not affect survival or the duration of development. However, switching newly-emerged adults to a prey different from that fed on as larvae resulted in an increased preoviposition periods. Based on these data, it is concluded that the N. bicolor is adapted to utilize prey from both whitefly subfamilies and can readily switch between prey types in accordance with changes in their availability. Thus, any biological control programme that plans to introduce the coccinellid as a predator of Aleyrodidae needs to take this into consideration in the risk analysis / decision-making process.

description: It is often said that the announcement of new urban rail opening affects real estate prices since the market speculates on the future enhancement of accessibility. Many empirical studies confirm that the prices have increased even before the rail openings. However, few investigate when and where price increments begin. This study proposes an analysis approach to extract the area and period of influence of rail opening on real estate market using Fused-MCP on the new subway opening in Sendai, Japan. The results show that the prices have increased sharply after the opening, and the announcement effect has been minimal.

description: Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent trace gas responsible for approximately 6% of the current greenhouse gas (GHG) effect with 60 to 80% of total global emissions originating from the agricultural sector. Within this sector, the majority of N2O emissions come from soils arising mainly from N fertilizer additions. In the Caribbean, no studies have been conducted to quantify the N2O flux from our soils, although this information is crucial in gaining a better understanding of how to manage N fertilizers, such as urea, to minimize N2O fluxes. In our region, urea represents approximately 80% of N-fertilizer used. In this laboratory study, the effects of ureaN rate and soil moisture on N2O, CH4 and CO2 flux were investigated on three soils from Trinidad. The18 treatment combinations were arranged in a completely randomized design with four replicates (72 experimental units). The equivalent of 220 g oven dried soil were placed in 1L mason jars and incubated at 50% Water Filled Pore Space (WFPS) for 7 days. Then, urea-N solutions of 0, 75 and 150 kg N/ha were applied and the soil moisture was further adjusted to 60% and 90% WFPS. Jars were then sealed and headspace air was sampled using a syringe via a rubber septum on the lid at regular intervals: three times on day 1 and then once per day for the next two weeks. Gas samples were injected into evacuated exetainers and analyzed for N2O, CO2 and CH4 concentrations using a gas chromatograph equipped with a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) and an Electron Capture Detector (ECD). Increases in N-fertilizer application rate did not have a significant effect on N2O production however it must be noted that N2O emissions were greater as N-applicate rate increased. Soil moisture was significant to N2O production with highest emissions under 90% WFPS compared to 60%WFPS. Soil type also had a significant effect with the greatest emission from the Nariva peaty clay soil type. The N2O flux data presented in this paper is the first report for Trinidad soils. This study has implications for improving urea-N fertilizer use efficiency, which could enhance soil productivity while minimizing environmental pollution.

description: This paper studies a dynamic real-time optimization in the context of model-based time-optimal operation of batch processes under parametric model mismatch. In order to tackle the model-mismatch issue, a receding-horizon policy is usually followed with frequent re-optimization. The main problem addressed in this study is the high computational burden that is usually required by such schemes. We propose an approach that uses parameterized conditions of optimality in the adaptive predictive-control fashion. The uncertainty in the model predictions is treated explicitly using reachable sets that are projected into the optimality conditions. Adaptation of model parameters is performed online using set-membership estimation. A class of batch membrane separation processes is in the scope of the presented applications, where the benefits of the presented approach are outlined.

Year: 2024

description: The Euro-Argo European Research Infrastructure Consortium (Euro-Argo ERIC) supports the collective effort to design and implement the European share of the global Argo programme of automated in situ observation of the oceans. Both its original vector and the network deployed constitute prominent assets to provide a 4D synoptic observation of essential variables of the oceans, i.e., in depth, all over the globe and in a continuous manner. In a fast-changing context of serious concerns about the health of the oceans together with an acknowledgement of their role in the climate change and the carbon offsetting, and of striking progress in science and technology to monitor and forecast their natural and man-induced evolution, it is sound for Euro-Argo ERIC to rely on a ten-year Strategy and to share it openly. This statement should highlight the benefits it brings to society and allow all stakeholders to provide recommendations for steady further enhancement. The Strategy is set out in the following plan in order to clearly and concisely set out its motivations, goals and concrete objectives:

description: We consider faithful projective actions of a cocompact lattice of SL(2,R) on the projective plane, with the following property: there is a common fixed point, which is a saddle fixed point for every element of infinite order of the the group. Typical examples of such an action are linear actions, ie, when the action arises from a morphism of the group into GL(2,R), viewed as the group of linear transformations of a copy of the affine plane in RP^{2}. We prove that in the general situation, such an action is always topologically linearisable, and that the linearisation is Lipschitz if and only if it is projective. This result is obtained through the study of a certain family of flag structures on Seifert manifolds. As a corollary, we deduce some dynamical properties of the transversely affine flows obtained by deformations of horocyclic flows. In particular, these flows are not minimal.

description: Pitaya or Dragon Fruit, is a cactus, closely related to the Caribbean night blooming cerius, with a large succulent fruit. Twenty-five Pitaya varieties were established in a former grape trellis wire system. Plants were set in a replicated trial at either 2 ft or 4 ft intervals. Pitaya were established and proved able to grow to the top of a six foot trellis wire and flower within a year. Plant growth and flowering were monitored monthly and data recorded. Ripe fruit were harvested and data collected on weight, length, width, fruit flesh color and soluble sugar content. After two years of growth all varieties flowered and set fruit. All flowers were naturally pollinated at night by bats and moths so no hand pollination was required. Six pitaya varieties were selected and recommended based on production, fruit size and sweetness. These varieties are ‘Dark Star’, ‘Makisupa’, ‘Physical Graffiti’, ‘Purple Haze’, ‘Halley’s Comet’ and ‘Delight’. ‘Natural Mystic’ though productive, is susceptible to scale. Pitaya has potential for production in the Virgin Islands. This research was supported by USDA-Multistate Hatch and USDA-SCBG administered through the Virgin Islands Department of Agriculture.

description: This first version of the DEC plan outlines the dissemination, exploitation and communication plan of BEYOND. The DEC plan will be updated as the work towards project deliverables proceeds and the most efficient strategies and activities to promote them have been established. The updated DEC plan is due at the end of 2023 as Deliverable 7.2. 5The key factors in determining the communication, dissemination and exploitation activities and channels for BEYOND are the project deliverables and milestones, along with the needs of stakeholder groups, with project resources factored in. The goal of all communication and dissemination is to enhance the exploitability of project results. Communication activities provide information about the project to stakeholders who are specialists and a wider non-specialist audience throughout the lifespan of the project. Dissemination activities make project results public, particularly to stakeholders and policymakers but also to citizens, to maximize the impact of the project and widen the scope of exploitation by new stakeholder groups and potential end-users of the project deliverables.Exploitation activities are focused on the end stage of the project. The purpose of exploitation is the efficient use of project results for knowledge transfer, in policymaking, and by stakeholders.

description: We introduce a spectral transform for the finite relativistic Toda lattice (RTL) in generalized form. In the nonrelativistic case, Moser constructed a spectral transform from the spectral theory of symmetric Jacobi matrices. Here we use a non-symmetric generalized eigenvalue problem for a pair of bidiagonal matrices (L,M) to define the spectral transform for the RTL. The inverse spectral transform is described in terms of a terminating T-fraction. The generalized eigenvalues are constants of motion and the auxiliary spectral data have explicit time evolution. Using the connection with the theory of Laurent orthogonal polynomials, we study the long-time behaviour of the RTL. As in the case of the Toda lattice the matrix entries have asymptotic limits. We show that L tends to an upper Hessenberg matrix with the generalized eigenvalues sorted on the diagonal, while M tends to the identity matrix.

Chimera states for a globally coupled sine circle map lattice: spatiotemporal intermittency and hyperchaos

description: We study the existence of chimera states, i.e. mixed states, in a globally coupled sine circle map lattice, with different strengths of inter-group and intra-group coupling. We find that at specific values of the parameters of the CML, a completely random initial condition evolves to chimera states, having a phase synchronised and a phase desynchronised group, where the space time variation of the phases of the maps in the desynchronised group shows structures similar to spatiotemporally intermittent regions. Using the complex order parameter we obtain a phase diagram that identifies the region in the parameter space which supports chimera states of this type, as well as other types of phase configurations such as globally phase synchronised states, two phase clustered states and fully phase desynchronised states. We estimate the volume of the basin of attraction of each kind of solution. The STI chimera region is studied in further detail via numerical and analytic stability analysis, and the Lyapunov spectrum is calculated. This state is identified to be hyperchaotic as the two largest Lyapunov exponents are found to be positive. The distributions of laminar and burst lengths in the incoherent region of the chimera show exponential behaviour. The average fraction of laminar/burst sites is identified to be the important quantity which governs the dynamics of the chimera. After an initial transient, these settle to steady values which can be used to reproduce the phase diagram in the chimera regime.

Restoring Arabic vowels through omission-tolerant dictionary lookup

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Vowels in Arabic are optional orthographic symbols written as diacritics above or below letters. In Arabic texts, typically more than 97 percent of written words do not explicitly show any of the vowels they contain; that is to say, depending on the author, genre and field, less than 3 percent of words include any explicit vowel. Although numerous studies have been published on the issue of restoring the omitted vowels in speech technologies, little attention has been given to this problem in papers dedicated to written Arabic technologies.f In this research, we present Arabic-Unitex, an Arabic Language Resource, with emphasis on vowel representation and encoding. Specifically, we present two dozens of rules formalizing a detailed description of vowel omission in written text. They are typographical rules integrated into large-coverage resources for morphological annotation. For restoring vowels, our resources are capable of identifying words in which the vowels are not shown, as well as words in which the vowels are partially or fully included. By taking into account these rules, our resources are able to compute and restore for each word form a list of compatible fully vowelized candidates through omission-tolerant dictionary lookup. Our program performs the analysis of 5000 words/second for running text (20 pages/second). Based on these comprehensive linguistic resources, we created a spell checker that detects any invalid/misplaced vowel in a fully or partially vowelized form. Finally, our resources provide a lexical coverage of more than 99 percent of the words used in popular newspapers, and restore vowels in words (out of context) simply and efficiently.

description: Historically, the majority of statistical association methods have been designed assuming availability of SNP-level information. However, modern genetic and sequencing data present new challenges to access and sharing of genotype-phenotype datasets, including cost management, difficulties in consolidation of records across research groups, etc. These issues make methods based on SNP-level summary statistics for a joint analysis of variants in a group particularly appealing. The most common form of combining statistics is a sum of SNP-level squared scores, possibly weighted, as in burden tests for rare variants. The overall significance of the resulting statistic is evaluated using its distribution under the null hypothesis. Here, we demonstrate that this basic approach can be substantially improved by decorrelating scores prior to their addition, resulting in remarkable power gains in situations that are most commonly encountered in practice; namely, under heterogeneity of effect sizes and diversity between pairwise LD. In these situations, the power of the traditional test, based on the added squared scores, quickly reaches a ceiling, as the number of variants increases. Thus, the traditional approach does not benefit from information potentially contained in any additional SNPs, while our decorrelation by orthogonal transformation (DOT) method yields steady gain in power. We present theoretical and computational analyses of both approaches, and reveal causes behind sometimes dramatic difference in their respective powers. We showcase DOT by analyzing breast cancer data, in which our method strengthened levels of previously reported associations and implied the possibility of multiple new alleles that jointly confer breast cancer risk.

description: We present a microscopic theory of proximity effect in the ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet (F/S/F) nanostructures where S is s-wave low-T_c superconductor and F's are layers of 3d transition ferromagnetic metal. Our approach is based on the solution of Gor'kov equations for the normal and anomalous Green's functions together with a self-consistent evaluation of the superconducting order parameter. We take into account the elastic spin-conserving scattering of the electrons assuming s-wave scattering in the S layer and s-d scattering in the F layers. In accordance with the previous quasiclassical theories, we found that due to exchange field in the ferromagnet the anomalous Green's function F(z) exhibits the damping oscillations in the F-layer as a function of distance z from the S/F interface. In the given model a half of period of oscillations is determined by the length ξ_m^0 = πv_F/E_ex, where v_F is the Fermi velocity and E_ex is the exchange field, while damping is governed by the length l_0 = (1/l_{\uparrow} + 1/l_{\downarrow})^{-1} with l_{\uparrow} and l_{\downarrow} being spin-dependent mean free paths in the ferromagnet. The superconducting transition temperature T_c(d_F) of the F/S/F trilayer shows the damping oscillations as a function of the F-layer thickness d_F with period ξ_F = π/\sqrt{m E_ex}, where m is the effective electron mass. We show that strong spin-conserving scattering either in the superconductor or in the ferromagnet significantly suppresses these oscillations. The calculated T_c(d_F) dependences are compared with existing experimental data for Fe/Nb/Fe trilayers and Nb/Co multilayers.

description: Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas), is a tuberous root crop native to South America and cultivated by the ancient Incas in Peru. Sweetpotato is one of the ground provisions grown in the Caribbean. Consumers want their sweet potatoes to be sweet. Sweetpotatoes require a postharvest curing to set the skin prior to storage. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of time and temperature on the postharvest sugar content of ten sweetpotato varieties. Soluble sugar content was determined at harvest using a garlic press and refractometer. The tuberous roots were cured at room temperature for five days then place at 40oF, 60oF and room temperature (~80oF). Nine varieties had a soluble sugar content of 4-6% Brix while ‘VIP’ was at 8.5% brix at harvest. The soluble sugar content more than doubled after two weeks of storage. There was only a small change in sugar content between the second and fourth weeks. While all three temperatures resulted in increased sugar content the room temperature and 60oF resulted in higher soluble sugars than 40oF. Postharvest storage of sweetpotato results in a significant increase in sugar content within two weeks. This research was supported by USDANIFA-Regional Hatch.

description: Seedlings of five tree species native to the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico with potential for landscape plantings were grown in a greenhouse and subjected to 3 different watering intensities. We wanted to determine how fast nursery stock would reach an appropriate size for outplanting and how plant biomass would be allocated. Tree heights were measured weekly for 28 weeks after which trees were harvested to determine root, stem, and leaf weights. All species survived under the different watering regimes but had different responses in both height growth and biomass allocation. Only one species, Andira inermis, if subjected to abundant watering reached outplanting height by the end of 28 weeks. Plumeria alba growth did not respond positively to increasing water and field capacity was wasteful of water. In terms of biomass allocation A. inermis was plastic in the allocation of biomass by dedicating more biomass to roots while under water stress and dedicating more biomass to stem wood when watered at field capacity. Other species, in particular, Bucida bucera did not change biomass allocation in response to watering levels. The results indicate that Virgin Island nursery managers can save water during growing of these species by controlling watering levels and still obtain marketable local trees. This research was supported from USGS-WRRI and USDAMcIntireStennis grants.

description: Space-based photogrammetry has benefitted from significant advancements recently, with progress in software, analytical techniques, and a surge in image availability. However, no photogrammetric products can be considered perfect. Estimates of error from photogrammetric modelling are thus important to characterise when faced with the various processing workflows available. This study quantifies and compares errors in photogrammetric products from very high-resolution Pléiades sensors when processed with or without ground control points (GCPs). Furthermore, the availability of an image triplet allowed bi-stereo and tri-stereo restitution scenarios to be compared for each case.
Measurements of inelastic J/psi and psi' photoproduction at HERA

description: The cross sections for inelastic photoproduction of J/psi and psi' mesons have been measured in ep collisions with the ZEUS detector at HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 38.0 pb-1. The events were required to have 0.1 < z < 0.9 and 50 < W < 180 GeV, where z is the fraction of the incident photon energy carried by the J/psi in the proton rest frame and W is the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy. The psi' to J/psi cross-section ratio was measured in the range 0.55 < z < 0.9. The J/psi data, for various ranges of transverse momentum, are compared to theoretical models incorporating colour-singlet and colour-octet matrix elements. Predictions of a next-to-leading-order colour-singlet model give a good description of the data, although there is a large normalisation uncertainty. The J/psi helicity distribution for z > 0.4 is compared to leading-order QCD predictions.

description: Control by traffic signals is an important factor for short-term traffic state prediction at an intersection. Deep learning, which has the capability to capture nonlinear relationships, is achieving superior performance for an extensive range of prediction problems. Consequently, its application to traffic state prediction is expected. This study proposes a deep learning model that predicts traffic volume of the target road link downstream of an intersection, using the time-series traffic volume observation of the target link and multiple upstream links, and traffic signal control information at the intersection. The proposed model was validated with traffic volume data obtained from a traffic flow simulator. The validation results showed that the traffic volume data from upstream links and traffic signal control information contributed to improvements in prediction accuracy. However, when the signal control patterns of validation data were different from those of training data, the traffic signal control information made prediction accuracy worse.

description: The Dynamic Distributed Dimensional Data Model (D4M) library implements associative arrays in a variety of languages (Python, Julia, and Matlab/Octave) and provides a lightweight in-memory database implementation of hypersparse arrays that are ideal for analyzing many types of network data. D4M relies on associative arrays which combine properties of spreadsheets, databases, matrices, graphs, and networks, while providing rigorous mathematical guarantees, such as linearity. Streaming updates of D4M associative arrays put enormous pressure on the memory hierarchy. This work describes the design and performance optimization of an implementation of hierarchical associative arrays that reduces memory pressure and dramatically increases the update rate into an associative array. The parameters of hierarchical associative arrays rely on controlling the number of entries in each level in the hierarchy before an update is cascaded. The parameters are easily tunable to achieve optimal performance for a variety of applications. Hierarchical arrays achieve over 40,000 updates per second in a single instance. Scaling to 34,000 instances of hierarchical D4M associative arrays on 1,100 server nodes on the MIT SuperCloud achieved a sustained update rate of 1,900,000,000 updates per second. This capability allows the MIT SuperCloud to analyze extremely large streaming network data sets.

description: We analyse velocity fluctuations in the solar wind at magneto-fluid scales in two datasets, extracted from Wind data in the period 2005-2015, that are characterised by strong or weak expansion. Expansion affects measurements of anisotropy because it breaks axisymmetry around the mean magnetic field. Indeed, the small-scale three-dimensional local anisotropy of magnetic fluctuations (δB) as measured by structure functions (SF_B) is consistent with tube-like structures for strong expansion. When passing to weak expansion, structures become ribbon-like because of the flattening of SFB along one of the two perpendicular directions. The power-law index that is consistent with a spectral slope -5/3 for strong expansion now becomes closer to -3/2. This index is also characteristic of velocity fluctuations in the solar wind. We study velocity fluctuations (δV) to understand if the anisotropy of their structure functions (SF_V ) also changes with the strength of expansion and if the difference with the magnetic spectral index is washed out once anisotropy is accounted for. We find that SF_V is generally flatter than SF_B. When expansion passes from strong to weak, a further flattening of the perpendicular SF_V occurs and the small-scale anisotropy switches from tube-like to ribbon-like structures. These two types of anisotropy, common to SF_V and SF_B, are associated to distinct large-scale variance anisotropies of δB in the strong- and weak-expansion datasets. We conclude that SF_V shows anisotropic three-dimensional scaling similar to SF_B, with however systematic flatter scalings, reflecting the difference between global spectral slopes.

description: Pinning points are localised regions of grounding within an ice shelf that generate resistance to ice flow, and in turn, affect grounding line and tributary glacier dynamics. Large pinning points (ice rises) are known to contribute to flow resistance and ice shelf stability but are unlikely to change over the coming decades while smaller-scale pinning points (ice rumples) are more vulnerable to change. The ungrounding of an ice shelf from small-scale pinning points may lead to faster ice flow, thinning, and grounding line retreat. This study investigates the flow-resistance generated by pinning points in the Ross Ice Shelf, West Antarctica. We use the Ice Sheet System Model to assess how changes in pinning point configuration (i.e., loss of contact with small-scale pinning points) will affect future ice flow.
