Plants 25-35 cm high, stem subterranean; corm pointed at base with straight acuminate teeth. Leaves 3-5, basal, narrowly 4-grooved; outer bracts with distinct brown-spotted membranous margins and conspicuous membranous apices, inner bracts with wide brown-spotted membranous margins. Flowers pink, apparently without dark blotches around the orange-yellow cup, tepals oblanceolate, 32-40 mm long; filaments 4-5 mm long, anthers c. 7 mm long. Flowering: July-Aug. A narrow endemic of the Kammanassie Mountains of the eastern Little Karoo in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, Romulea vlokii is closely allied to R. cruciata and distinguished from it by the bracts with brown-spotted membranous margins and tips and flowers without dark blotches in the throat. The bracts recall those of several species of section Spatalanthus and led DE VOS to ally it to species in this section despite the differences in the corm tunics.

description: Modelling of crust heating and cooling across multiple accretion outbursts of the low mass X-ray binary MXB 1659-29 indicates that the neutrino luminosity of the neutron star core is consistent with direct Urca reactions occurring in $\sim 1\%$ of the core volume. We investigate this scenario with neutron star models that include a detailed equation of state parametrized by the slope of the nuclear symmetry energy $L$, and a range of neutron and proton superfluid gaps. We find that the predicted neutron star mass depends sensitively on $L$ and the assumed gaps. We discuss which combinations of superfluid gaps reproduce the inferred neutrino luminosity. Larger values of $L\gtrsim 80\ {\rm MeV}$ require superfluidity to suppress dUrca reactions in low mass neutron stars, i.e. that the proton or neutron gap is sufficiently strong and extends to high enough density. However, the largest gaps give masses near the maximum mass, making it difficult to accommodate colder neutron stars. We consider models with reduced dUrca normalization as an approximation of alternative, less efficient, fast cooling processes in exotic cores. We find solutions with a larger emitting volume, providing a more natural explanation for the observed neutrino luminosity, provided the fast cooling process is within a factor of $\sim 1000$ of dUrca. The heat capacities of our models span the range from fully-paired to fully-unpaired nucleons meaning that long term observations of core cooling could distinguish between models. We discuss the impact of future constraints on neutron star mass, radius and the density dependence of the symmetry energy.

description: The goal of rank fusion in information retrieval (IR) is to deliver a single output list from multiple search results. Improving performance by combining the outputs of various IR systems is a challenging task. A central point is the fact that many non-obvious factors are involved in the estimation of relevance, inducing nonlinear interrelations between the data. The ability to model complex dependency relationships between random variables has become increasingly popular in the realm of information retrieval, and the need to further explore these dependencies for data fusion has been recently acknowledged. Copulas provide a framework to separate the dependence structure from the margins. Inspired by the theory of copulas, we propose a new unsupervised, dynamic, nonlinear, rank fusion method, based on a nested composition of non-algebraic function pairs. The dependence structure of the model is tailored by leveraging query-document correlations on a per-query basis. We experimented with three topic sets over CLEF corpora fusing 3 and 6 retrieval systems, comparing our method against the CombMNZ technique and other nonlinear unsupervised strategies. The experiments show that our fusion approach improves performance under explicit conditions, providing insight about the circumstances under which linear fusion techniques have comparable performance to nonlinear methods.

description: In the second half of the 18th century, the town of Bistrița witnessed a wood crisis due to the intensive
exploitation of forest resources both in the small industry and in the expansion of agricultural lands
and pastures. As a result, the municipality of Bistrița took steps to remedy this situation based on
the decisions of the Transylvania’s Gubernium and the 1781 Forestry Ordinance. On 13th July 1787,
the municipality decided on the establishment of a local timber yard. Its purpose was to supply
firewood to the local citizens and timber to various public institutions and for public works. The
establishment of the timber yard in Bistrița was ultimately an essential and innovative element in
the reformation of the municipality’s forestry policy which aimed at a better management of its
wooded areas in the long, mid and short term.

description: In each manifold $M$ modeled on a finite or infinite dimensional cube $[0,1]^n$ we construct a closed nowhere dense subset $S\subset M$ (called a spongy set) which is a universal nowhere dense set in $M$ in the sense that for each nowhere dense subset $A\subset M$ there is a homeomorphism $h:M\to M$ such that $h(A)\subset S$. The key tool in the construction of spongy sets is a theorem on topological equivalence of certain decompositions of manifolds. A special case of this theorem says that two vanishing cellular strongly shrinkable decompositions $\mathcal A,\mathcal B$ of a Hilbert cube manifold $M$ are topologically equivalent if any two non-singleton elements $A\in\mathcal A$ and $B\in\mathcal B$ of these decompositions are ambiently homeomorphic.

description: Driving a quantum system across quantum critical points leads to non-adiabatic excitations in the system. This in turn may adversely affect the functioning of a quantum machine which uses a quantum critical substance as its working medium. Here we propose a bath-engineered quantum engine (BEQE), in which we use the Kibble--Zurek mechanism and critical scaling laws to formulate a protocol for enhancing the performance of finite-time quantum engines operating close to quantum phase transitions. In the case of free fermionic systems, BEQE enables finite-time engines to outperform engines operating in the presence of shortcuts to adiabaticity, and even infinite-time engines under suitable conditions, thus showing the remarkable advantages offered by this technique. Open questions remain regarding the use of BEQE based on non-integrable models.

description: Assuming a Salpeter initial mass function and taking the solar abundances as a representative sample, we explore the sensitivity of nucleosynthesis in massive stars to the truncation of supernova explosions above a certain mass. It is assumed that stars of all masses contribute to nucleosynthesis by their pre-explosive winds, but above a certain limiting main sequence mass, the presupernova star becomes a black hole and ejects nothing more. The solar abundances from oxygen to atomic mass 90 are fit quite well assuming no cut-off at all, i.e., by assuming all stars up to 120 solar masses make successful supernovae. Little degradation in the fit occurs if the upper limit is reduced to 25 solar masses. The limit can be further reduced, but the required event rate of supernovae in the remaining range rises rapidly to compensate for the lost nucleosynthesis of the more massive stars. The nucleosynthesis of the s-process declines precipitously and the production of species made in the winds, e.g., carbon, becomes unacceptably large compared with elements made in the explosion, e.g., silicon and oxygen. However, by varying uncertain physics, especially the mass loss rate for massive stars and the rate for the neon-22 to magnesium-25 reaction rate, acceptable nucleosynthesis might still be achieved with a cutoff as low as 18 solar masses. This would require a supernova frequency three times greater than the fiducial value obtained when all stars explode in order to produce the required oxygen-16. The nucleosynthesis of iron-60 and aluminum-26 is also examined.

description: We study particle decay as the origin of dark radiation. After elaborating general properties and useful parametrisations we provide model-independent and easy-to-use constraints from nucleosynthesis, the cosmic microwave background and structure formation. Bounds on branching ratios and mass hierarchies depend in a unique way on the time of decay. We demonstrate their power to exclude well-motivated scenarios taking the example of the lightest ordinary sparticle decaying into the gravitino. We point out signatures and opportunities in cosmological observations and structure formation. For example, if there are two dark decay modes, dark radiation and the observed dark matter with adjustable free-streaming can originate from the same decaying particle, solving small-scale problems of structure formation. Hot dark matter mimicking a neutrino mass scale as deduced from cosmological observations can arise and possibly be distinguished after a discovery. Our results can be used as a guideline for model building.

description: Let $\mathbf{K}$ be a number field and $\mathfrak{q}$ an integral ideal in $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbf{K}}$. A result of Tatuzawa from 1973, computes the asymptotic (with an error term) for the number of ideals with norm at most $x$ in a class of the narrow ray class group of $\mathbf{K}$ modulo $\mathfrak{q}$. This result bounds the error term with a constant whose dependence on $\mathfrak{q}$ is explicit but dependence on $\mathbf{K}$ is not explicit. The aim of this paper is to prove this asymptotic with a fully explicit bound for the error term.

description: The results of mixing angle measurement for $η'$, $η$ mesons generated in charge exchange reactions with $π^{-}$ and $K^{-}$ beams are preseneted. When the $η'$, $η$ mesons are described in nonstrange(NS)--strange(S) quark basis the $π^{-}$ and $K^{-}$ beams allow to study $|η_{q}>$ and $|η_{s}>$ parts of the meson wave function. The cross section ratio at $t'=0$ (GeV/c)$^{2}$ in the $π^{-}$ beam is $R_π(η'/η)= 0.56 \pm 0.04$, results in mixing angle $ϕ_{P} = (36.8 \pm 1.)^{o} $. For $K^{-}$ beam the ratio is $R_{K}(η'/η)= 1.30 \pm 0.16$. It was found that gluonium content in $η'$ is $\sin^{2}ψ_{G}= 0.15 \pm 0.06$. The experiment was carried out with GAMS-4$π$ Setup.

description: We present a local classification of conformally equivalent but oppositely oriented 4-dimensional Kaehler metrics which are toric with respect to a common 2-torus action. In the generic case, these "ambitoric" structures have an intriguing local geometry depending on a quadratic polynomial q and arbitrary functions A and B of one variable. We use this description to classify Einstein 4-metrics which are hermitian with respect to both orientations, as well a class of solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell equations including riemannian analogues of the Plebanski-Demianski metrics. Our classification can be viewed as a riemannian analogue of a result in relativity due to R. Debever, N. Kamran, and R. McLenaghan, and is a natural extension of the classification of selfdual Einstein hermitian 4-manifolds, obtained independently by R. Bryant and the first and third authors. These Einstein metrics are precisely the ambitoric structures with vanishing Bach tensor, and thus have the property that the associated toric Kaehler metrics are extremal (in the sense of E. Calabi). Our main results also classify the latter, providing new examples of explicit extremal Kaehler metrics. For both the Einstein-Maxwell and the extremal ambitoric structures, A and B are quartic polynomials, but with different conditions on the coefficients. In the sequel to this paper we consider global examples, and use them to resolve the existence problem for extremal Kaehler metrics on toric 4-orbifolds with second betti number b2=2.

description: The most important ability of a quantum channel is to preserve the quantum properties of transmitted quantum states. We experimentally demonstrate a continuous-variable system for efficient benchmarking of quantum channels. We probe the tested quantum channels for a wide range of experimental parameters such as amplitude, phase noise and channel lengths up to 40 km. The data is analyzed using the framework of effective entanglement. We subsequently are able to deduce an optimal point of operation for each quantum channel with respect to the rate of distributed entanglement. This procedure is a promising candidate for benchmarking quantum nodes and individual links in large quantum networks of different physical implementations.

description: Decoherence effect on multipartite entanglement in non-inertial frames is investigated. GHZ state is considered to be shared between the partners with one partner in inertial frame whereas the other two in accelerated frames. One-tangle and π-tangles are used to quantify the entanglement of the multipartite system influenced by phase damping and phase flip channels. It is seen that for phase damping channel, entanglement sudden death (ESD) occurs for p>0.5 in the infinite acceleration limit. On the other hand, in case of phase flip channel, ESD behaviour happens around 50% decoherence. It is also seen that entanglement sudden birth (ESB) does occur in case of phase flip channel. Furthermore, it is seen that effect of environment on multipartite entanglement is much stronger than that of the acceleration of non-inertial frames.

description: Motivation: Human cancer is caused by the accumulation of somatic mutations in tumor suppressors and oncogenes within the genome. In the case of oncogenes, recent theory suggests that there are only a few key "driver" mutations responsible for tumorigenesis. As there have been significant pharmacological successes in developing drugs that treat cancers that carry these driver mutations, several methods that rely on mutational clustering have been developed to identify them. However, these methods consider proteins as a single strand without taking their spatial structures into account. We propose a new methodology that incorporates protein tertiary structure in order to increase our power when identifying mutation clustering. Results: We have developed a novel algorithm, iPAC: identification of Protein Amino acid Clustering, for the identification of non-random somatic mutations in proteins that takes into account the three dimensional protein structure. By using the tertiary information, we are able to detect both novel clusters in proteins that are known to exhibit mutation clustering as well as identify clusters in proteins without evidence of clustering based on existing methods. For example, by combining the data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer, our algorithm identifies new mutational clusters in well known cancer proteins such as KRAS and PI3KCa. Further, by utilizing the tertiary structure, our algorithm also identifies clusters in EGFR, EIF2AK2, and other proteins that are not identified by current methodology.

description: The Triassic geodynamic evolution of the Pontides Belt, which geographically corresponds to northern Anatolia, is still a matter of debate. We present and interpret geological, petrographical, geochemical, and geochronological data from small, discordant, metagabbroic rocks exposed in the Tokat Massif. Field and petrographic characteristics distinguish four subgroups: (i) medium-grained, slightly lineated, clinopyroxene-rich metagabbros; (ii) fine-grained, nonlineated, clinopyroxene-rich metagabbros; (iii) medium-grained, nonlineated, brown amphibole-rich metagabbros; and (iv) medium-grained, slightly lineated, brown and blue amphibole-rich metagabbros. Magmatic kaersutites give Ar-39/Ar-40 plateau ages of 244.60.5 and 243.160.92Ma and overlap the U-Pb age of titanite from a clinopyroxene-rich sample. Inherited zircons (similar to 460, similar to 880, and similar to 2600Ma) in fine-grained clinopyroxene-rich metagabbros indicate interaction with a range of crustal rocks during the intrusion. The blue amphiboles are magnesioriebeckites that formed during metamorphism or late-stage crystallization. Geochemical data, including whole rock major and trace element concentrations, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope compositions reveal that both clinopyroxene- and amphibole-rich metagabbros are alkaline in composition but derived from distinct mantle sources. They are compositionally distinct from mafic igneous rocks in the contemporaneous Permo-Triassic Karakaya Complex that is well exposed in the western part of the Pontides Belt. Considering all data, we suggest that the Pontides Belt was shaped above a south dipping subduction zone during Permo-Triassic and the alkaline gabbros that were emplaced into crustal rocks during Early Triassic back-arc rifting of the northern margin of Gondwana.

description: China is working hard to reconcile growing demands for freshwater with already oversubscribed renewable water resources. However, the knowledge essential for setting and achieving the intended water consumption cuts remains limited. Here we show that on-farm water management interventions such as improved irrigation and soil management practices for maize cultivation can lead to substantial water consumption reductions, by a simulated total of 28–46 % (7–14 billion m3/year) nationally, with or without the impacts of climate change. The water consumption cut is equivalent to 16–31 % of the ultimate capacity of the South-North Water Transfer Project. Much of the reduction is achievable at the populous and water-stressed North China Plain and Northeast China. Meanwhile, the interventions can increase maize production by an estimated 7–15 %, meeting 22–28 % of demand increase projected for 2050. The water management and food production improvements obtained are crucial for achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to water, land, and food in China and far beyond. © 2019 The Authors

description: This study is the first to assess wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVC) in Zimbabwe. The study analysed the impact and factors that influence vehicle collisions with large wild mammals along the Harare-Chirundu road section in the protected Hurungwe Safari Area, northern Zimbabwe. Data were retrieved from the Hurungwe Safari Area records and covered the period between 2006 and 2013. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the recorded variables across the sampled area and to show trends of the prevalence of large wild mammals roadkill over time. Using STATISTICA version 10 for Windows, a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine differences between the number of wild mammal animal roadkills and seasons. A total of 47 large wild mammal animals were killed between 2006 and 2013. The large wild mammal animals that died as a result of vehicle collisions constituted a total of 11 species, with the African buffalo and spotted hyena being the most hit and killed animal species. Most WVC involved heavy haulage trucks and passenger buses. There was no significance difference (P = 0.936) between number of large wild mammal animals killed from WVC between dry and wet seasons. The large wild mammal animals were mostly killed in areas near water sources. We recommend for the inclusion of wildlife protection safeguards in road infrastructure network design and development, particularly on roads that traverse across protected areas in Zimbabwe and beyond. © 2020 The Author(s)

description: Epidemics and evolution of many pathogens occur on similar timescales so that their dynamics are often entangled. Here, in a first step to study this problem theoretically, we analyze mutating pathogens spreading on simple SIR networks with grid-like connectivity. We have in mind the spatial aspect of epidemics, which often advance on transport links between hosts or groups of hosts such as cities or countries. We focus on the case of mutations that enhance an agent’s infection rate. We uncover that the small-world property, i.e., the presence of long-range connections, makes the network very vulnerable, supporting frequent supercritical mutations and bringing the network from disease extinction to full blown epidemic. For very large numbers of long-range links, however, the effect reverses and we find a reduced chance for large outbreaks. We study two cases, one with discrete number of mutational steps and one with a continuous genetic variable, and we analyze various scaling regimes. For the continuous case we derive a Fokker-Planck-like equation for the probability density and solve it for small numbers of shortcuts using the WKB approximation. Our analysis supports the claims that a potentiating mutation in the transmissibility might occur during an epidemic wave and not necessarily before its initiation. © 2020, The Author(s).

Africa 7(2), fasc. 2: 59 (1983). — Type: Drège 4041, South Africa, Western Cape (lecto-, S, designated by M. P. DE VOS, 1972; isolecto-, BM). Plants 10-20 high, stem subterranean; corm rounded at base with curved acuminate teeth. Leaves 3-6, basal or some cauline, narrowly 4- grooved, 0.5-1 mm diam.; outer bracts with very narrow membranous margins, inner bracts with wide colorless or brownish margins. Flowers yellow or apricot to red, often with dark blotches around the greenish to yellow cup, unscented, tepals elliptic to oblanceolate, 10-40 mm long; filaments 3-8 mm long, anthers 3-9 mm long. Fruiting peduncles widely spreading from the base. Flowering: Aug.-Oct. Romulea obscura occurs on sandy flats in Western Cape Province, extending from Clanwilliam in the north to Cape Agulhas in the south. It is very closely related to Romulea rosea and is distinguished by the fruiting peduncles that diverge sharply and spread horizontally and by the presence of yellow pigmentation in the flowers. The yellow- or apricot-flowered forms are easily distinguished from the typical purplemagenta of R. rosea but in the absence of fruiting material it is difficult, if not impossible to tell some color variants of the two apart. The two species differ in chromosome numbers, R. rosea having 2 n = 18 while R. obscura has 2 n = 22.

description: Maxwell test fields as well as solutions of linearized gravity on the Kerr exterior admit non-radiating modes, i.e. non-trivial time-independent solutions. These are closely related to conserved charges. In this paper we discuss the non-radiating modes for linearized gravity, which may be seen to correspond to the Poincare Lie-algebra. The 2-dimensional isometry group of Kerr corresponds to a 2-parameter family of gauge-invariant non-radiating modes representing infinitesimal perturbations of mass and azimuthal angular momentum. We calculate the linearized mass charge in terms of linearized Newman-Penrose scalars.

description: Smallholder farmers’ responses to the climate-induced agricultural changes are not uniform but rather diverse, as response adaptation strategies are embedded in the heterogonous agronomic, social, economic, and institutional conditions. There is an urgent need to understand the diversity within the farming households, identify the main drivers and understand its relationship with household adaptation strategies. Typology construction provides an efficient method to understand farmer diversity by delineating groups with common characteristics. In the present study, based in the Uttarakhand state of Indian Western Himalayas, five farmer types were identified on the basis of resource endowment and agriculture orientation characteristics. Factor analysis followed by sequential agglomerative hierarchial and K-means clustering was use to delineate farmer types. Examination of adaptation strategies across the identified farmer types revealed that mostly contrasting and type-specific bundle of strategies are adopted by farmers to ensure livelihood security. Our findings show that strategies that incurred high investment, such as infrastructural development, are limited to high resource-endowed farmers. In contrast, the low resourced farmers reported being progressively disengaging with farming as a livelihood option. Our results suggest that the proponents of effective adaptation policies in the Himalayan region need to be cognizant of the nuances within the farming communities to capture the diverse and multiple adaptation needs and constraints of the farming households. © 2019, The Author(s).
Strain-induced pseudo-magnetic field in $α-{\cal T}_3$ lattice

description: We investigate the effects of a nonuniform uniaxial strain and a triaxial strain on the $α-{\cal T}_3$ lattice. The analytical expressions of the pseudo-Landau levels (pLLs) are derived based on low-energy Hamiltonians, and are verified by tight-binding calculations. We find the pseudo-magnetic field leads to the oscillating density of states, and the first pLL is sublattice polarized, which is distributed on only two of the three sets of sublattices. For the nonuniform uniaxial strain, we show that pLLs become dispersive due to the renormalization of the Fermi velocity, and a valley polarized current emerges. Our results generalize the study of pseudo-magnetic field to the $α-{\cal T}_3$ lattice, which will not only deepen the understanding of the intriguing effects of mechanical strains, but also provide theoretical foundation for possible experimental studies of the effects of strain on the $α-{\cal T}_3$ lattice.

description: We present a systematic study of the morphology of homoepitaxial InP films grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy which are imaged with ex situ atomic force microscopy. These films show a dramatic range of different surface morphologies as a function of the growth conditions and substrate (growth temperature, V/III ratio, and miscut angle < 0.6deg and orientation toward A or B sites), ranging from stable step flow to previously unreported strong step bunching, over 10 nm in height. These observations suggest a window of growth parameters for optimal quality epitaxial layers. We also present a theoretical model for these growth modes that takes account of deposition, diffusion, and dissociation of molecular precursors, and the diffusion and step incorporation of atoms released by the precursors. The experimental conditions for step flow and step bunching are reproduced by this model, with the step bunching instability caused by the difference in molecular dissociation from above and below step edges, as was discussed previously for GaAs (001).

description: We introduce tobac (Tracking and Object-Based Analysis of Clouds), a newly developed framework for tracking and analysing individual clouds in different types of datasets, such as cloud-resolving model simulations and geostationary satellite retrievals. The software has been designed to be used flexibly with any two-or three-dimensional timevarying input. The application of high-level data formats, such as Iris cubes or xarray arrays, for input and output allows for convenient use of metadata in the tracking analysis and visualisation. Comprehensive analysis routines are provided to derive properties like cloud lifetimes or statistics of cloud properties along with tools to visualise the results in a convenient way. The application of tobac is presented in two examples. We first track and analyse scattered deep convective cells based on maximum vertical velocity and the threedimensional condensate mixing ratio field in cloud-resolving model simulations. We also investigate the performance of the tracking algorithm for different choices of time resolution of the model output. In the second application, we show how the framework can be used to effectively combine information from two different types of datasets by simultaneously tracking convective clouds in model simulations and in geostationary satellite images based on outgoing longwave radiation. The tobac framework provides a flexible new way to include the evolution of the characteristics of individual clouds in a range of important analyses like model intercomparison studies or model assessment based on observational data. © 2019 Author(s).
Ambitoric geometry II: Extremal toric surfaces and Einstein 4-orbifolds

description: We provide an explicit resolution of the existence problem for extremal Kaehler metrics on toric 4-orbifolds M with second Betti number b2(M)=2. More precisely we show that M admits such a metric if and only if its rational Delzant polytope (which is a labelled quadrilateral) is K-polystable in the relative, toric sense (as studied by S. Donaldson, E. Legendre, G. Szekelyhidi et al.). Furthermore, in this case, the extremal Kaehler metric is ambitoric, i.e., compatible with a conformally equivalent, oppositely oriented toric Kaehler metric, which turns out to be extremal as well. These results provide a computational test for the K-stability of labelled quadrilaterals. Extremal ambitoric structures were classified locally in Part I of this work, but herein we only use the straightforward fact that explicit Kaehler metrics obtained there are extremal, and the identification of Bach-flat (conformally Einstein) examples among them. Using our global results, the latter yield countably infinite families of compact toric Bach-flat Kaehler orbifolds, including examples which are globally conformally Einstein, and examples which are conformal to complete smooth Einstein metrics on an open subset, thus extending the work of many authors.
