The physical oceanography of the Gulf of Finland: a review
Creators: name: Alenius, P.

Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 1998

description: The Gulf of Finland is today an actively-investigated sea area. Basin-wide studies are carried out in an international cooperation between all the coastal states of the gulf. Understanding of the basic physics of the gulf is vital in order to assess the state of the marine environment and to construct coupled hydrodynamic-ecological models for describing the response of the sea to human activities. This paper is a literature review of the physical features of the Gulf of Finland. Our main interest is the general circulation as well as the horizontal and vertical structure of water masses, but surface waves, the sea level, ice conditions and air-sea interaction are also briefly reviewed. Special attention has been paid to the eastern end of the gulf, which is an important mixing area and buffer zone for pollutants.
Comparison of tree stem diameter variations in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Sorø Denmark and in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Hyytiälä, Finland

description: Tree stem diameter variations were measured simultaneously in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Sorø, Denmark and in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Hyytiälä, Finland. The variations were detected at two heights on the xylem and the whole stem on both trees. The evapo-transpiration of the forests was measured by eddy-covariance method. The pattern of evapo-transpiration was reflected on the diameter variations in both cases. However, the pattern was clearer in Scots pine than in beech. The amplitude of the variation in beech was 0.02 mm in the case of xylem and 0.03 mm in the case of whole stem measurements. In Scots pine the amplitude of xylem diameter variation was 0.05–0.09 mm depending on the measurement height on the xylem and 0.15 mm on the whole stem. The difference in the elasticity of the wood of the two species was reflected in the amplitudes of the variations. The environmental conditions during the measurement period and the measurement methods were similar at both sites, which made the simple comparison possible.

description: We developed a laboratory microcosm to study simultaneously the dynamics of gases and nutrients in sediments. With the microcosm, intact sediment cores were incubated under continuous water flow. The incubation system was constructed so that diffusion and ebullition of gases could be measured separately. Here we show results from an experiment conducted with littoral, shallow and deep profundal sediments of Lake Kevätön using oxic and anoxic water flow. The fluxes of important greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide) and nutrients (phosphorus, ammonium, nitrite and nitrate) were determined. Deep profundal sediments released carbon gases, methane and carbon dioxide, and nutrients, ammonium and phosphorus, especially in anoxic conditions. Also the littoral sediment was important source of methane. Nitrous oxide, nitrite and nitrate were produced in the shallow profundal sediments with the oxic flow. Our microcosm was a promising tool to differentiate gas and nutrient dynamics between sediments under controlled conditions.

Light energy as a cause of structural and functional variations in brackish water littoral mesocosms used in ecotoxicological research

description: The significance of two vital ecosystem regulating factors, i.e. light and temperature, was studied in littoral brackish water mesocosms during a four month experiment. Conspicuous light energy-related structural and functional responses were observed in the mesocosms. Functionally, the horizontal transport of organic carbon increased with lower temperature and light conditions. Systems with lower temperature and less light adapted by increasing phytoplanktic production instead of periphytic growth. All systems seemed to be nitrogen limited. Sedimentation was lower in colder than in warmer systems. Colder systems contained less organic carbon in the sediment but only insignificantly less carbon was bound in the macroscopic organisms in these systems as compared with warmer systems. This indicates adaptatory mechanisms on the structural level, as observed by invertebrate and fish studies. Small sized Jaera spp. was favoured by less efficient system carbon binding capacity. Typical littoral species such as Gammarus spp. and Theodoxus fluviatilis were favoured by efficient carbon binding environments and higher temperature. Lower temperature favoured mollusc species such as Macoma baltica and Mytilus edulis. Fish fry were favoured by higher temperature at the individual level but population mortality was negatively affected. The results obtained show that mesocosms are sensitive systems that rapidly respond to external perturbations, including pollution. However, in order to separate responses caused by natural variability from those caused by pollution, it is important that both structure and function are measured.

This artful examination of the outsize popularity of the Blackberry phone in Nigeria—where 65% of the population lives in poverty—proposes that the explanation is not marketing but rather linguistic parallels between Nigerian practice of Pidgin English and “text talk” in the Blackberry device. It tells a powerful story about adaptability and transformation of language in the age of mobile technology.

description: A thermal volatility technique was used in the boreal forest environment to examine accumulation mode (0.05–0.35 µm radius) physico-chemical properties as a function of air mass origin. Three primary aerosol species were identified in all air masses: (1) a semi-volatile organic component, (2) ammonium sulphate, and (3) a non-volatile component thought to comprise mostly of soot carbon. Under some conditions, sulphuric acid was also identified, as was sea salt. Following nucleation and growth of new particles into accumulation mode sizes, the organic fraction of accumulation mode aerosol, by mass, was observed to increase from 30%, prior to and during the nucleation event, up to 75% by the end of the growth period, indicating a substantial fraction of organic mass condensing onto newly formed particles.

description: Vegetation introduces to the atmosphere a diversity of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) which affect atmospheric chemistry, air quality and climate. Understory emissions might contribute significantly to the total BVOCs budget. In this work, either dynamic or static solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with portable gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were optimised and used for the in-situ measurement of the most abundant BVOCs at understory level. The study was performed in summer 2015 at the SMEAR II station in Hyytiälä, Finland. The most abundant BVOCs measured in soil chambers and ambient air were α-pinene and Δ3-carene, and their relative concentrations were similar in every chamber. These species constituted 80%–90% of the measured monoterpenes. Aliphatic aldehydes were also measured, and their amounts were lower in soil chambers than in ambient air. Air BVOC concentrations were markedly higher when the wind direction was from SE, which was associated with transportation from nearby sawmills.

Curvature of Quantum Evolutions for Qubits in Time-Dependent Magnetic Fields

description: In the geometry of quantum-mechanical processes, the time-varying curvature coefficient of a quantum evolution is specified by the magnitude squared of the covariant derivative of the tangent vector to the state vector. In particular, the curvature coefficient measures the bending of the quantum curve traced out by a parallel-transported pure quantum state that evolves in a unitary fashion under a nonstationary Hamiltonian that specifies the Schrodinger evolution equation. In this paper, we present an exact analytical expression of the curvature of a quantum evolution for a two-level quantum system immersed in a time-dependent magnetic field. Specifically, we study the dynamics generated by a two-parameter nonstationary Hermitian Hamiltonian with unit speed efficiency. The two parameters specify the constant temporal rates of change of the polar and azimuthal angles used in the Bloch sphere representation of the evolving pure state. To better grasp the physical significance of the curvature coefficient, showing that the quantum curve is nongeodesic since the geodesic efficiency of the quantum evolution is strictly less than one and tuning the two Hamiltonian parameters, we compare the temporal behavior of the curvature coefficient with that of the speed and the acceleration of the evolution of the system in projective Hilbert space. Furthermore, we compare the temporal profile of the curvature coefficient with that of the square of the ratio between the parallel and transverse magnetic field intensities. Finally, we discuss the challenges in finding exact analytical solutions when extending our geometric approach to higher-dimensional quantum systems that evolve unitarily under an arbitrary time-dependent Hermitian Hamiltonian.

description: Chern-Simons theory with certain gauge groups is known to be equivalent to a first-order formulation of three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant, where both are purely topological. Here, we extend this correspondence to theories with dynamical degrees of freedom. We show that three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ is equivalent to the first-order formulation of three-dimensional Einstein gravity with no cosmological constant coupled to a background stress-energy tensor density (which breaks the diffeomorphism symmetry). The local degree of freedom of three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory corresponds to degenerate "gravitational waves" in which the metric is degenerate and the spin connection is no longer completely determined by the metric. Turning on a cosmological constant produces the third-way (for $Λ<0$) or the imaginary third-way (for $Λ>0$) gauge theories with a background stress-energy tensor density.

description: Many-electron correlation methods offer a systematic approach to predicting material properties with high precision. However, practically attaining accurate ground-state properties for bulk metals presents significant challenges. In this work, we propose a novel scheme to reach the thermodynamic limit of the total ground-state energy of metals using coupled cluster theory. We demonstrate that the coupling between long-range and short-range contributions to the correlation energy is sufficiently weak, enabling us to restrict long-range contributions to low-energy excitations in a controllable way. Leveraging this insight, we calculate the surface energy of aluminum and platinum (111), providing numerical evidence that coupled cluster theory is well-suited for modeling metallic materials, particularly in surface science. Notably, our results exhibit convergence with respect to finite-size effects, basis-set size, and coupled cluster expansion, yielding excellent agreement with experimental data. This paves the way for more efficient coupled cluster calculations for large systems and a broader utilization of the theory in realistic metallic models of materials.

description: On-line measurements of atmospheric VOC concentrations in the European boreal zone with a proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer were conducted at SMEAR II station in Hyytiälä, south-western Finland on 2–22 July 2004. The measurements showed a strong diurnal variation of several compounds. A factor analysis performed for the concentration data was used to classify the measured VOC masses into three classes based on the behavior of their concentrations. The masses in the first class had a high diurnal variation with maximum values in the afternoon. Compounds contributing to masses in this category were e.g. methanol, acetone, methyl-vinyl-ketone and hexanal. The concentrations of masses in the second class had also a high diurnal variation, but with maxima during the night when the mixing of the atmospheric surface layer was weak. Monoterpenes and phenol are compounds contributing to the masses in this category. The masses in the third class did not have a marked diurnal cycle and were not dependent on the local meteorological parameters. The masses having a strong positive loading on this factor were those associated with anthropogenic compounds with relatively long atmospheric life-times, such as benzene. Considering the difference in the measurement height, the total monoterpene concentration measured by the PTR-MS was consistent with the concentration measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer with adsorbent sampling.

description: Thunderstorms are the most hazardous meteorological phenomena in the summer season in Latvia. However, so far not much has been known about the climatic characteristics of thunderstorm distribution and intensity in the country, and how these have changed with changing climate. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the spatial and temporal distribution of thunderstorms in Latvia during the period 1960–2015 by using surface observation data from 14 major weather stations. To assess the severity of thunderstorms and suitability of the existing warning system, the frequency and distribution of thunderstorm intensities according to the national warning and hazard criteria was analysed. The results of our analysis show significant decrease in thunderstorm frequency in Latvia since 1960, however indicators of an increase in thunderstorm severity were also found, which reveals and emphasizes the complex nature of convective atmospheric phenomena also on climatic scales.

description: Agriculture is the main anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N2O). Cultivation of perennial crops is a potential way to reduce N2O emissions. We quantified multi-year N2O emissions from two perennial cropping systems, reed canary grass (RCG) and a mixture of timothy and meadow fescue (TIM), on a boreal mineral soil. Mean annual emissions from TIM and RCG were rather similar, 600 mg N2O m–2 yr–1 and 670 mg N2O m–2 yr–1, respectively. Compared to the median N2O emissions from cropping systems in mineral soils in northern Europe (230 mg N2O m–2 yr–1), those in this study (720 mg N2O m–2 yr–1) were higher. The higher annual emissions and the observed decrease in annual emissions in our study with time was likely associated with the use of organic fertilizer during the pre-trial period.
Automated Analysis of Protocols that use Authenticated Encryption: How Subtle AEAD Differences can impact Protocol Security

description: Many modern security protocols such as TLS, WPA2, WireGuard, and Signal use a cryptographic primitive called Authenticated Encryption (optionally with Authenticated Data), also known as an AEAD scheme. AEAD is a variant of symmetric encryption that additionally provides authentication. While authentication may seem to be a straightforward additional requirement, it has in fact turned out to be complex: many different security notions for AEADs are still being proposed, and several recent protocol-level attacks exploit subtle behaviors that differ among real-world AEAD schemes.

We provide the first automated analysis method for protocols that use AEADs that can systematically find attacks that exploit the subtleties of the specific type of AEAD used. This can then be used to analyze specific protocols with a fixed AEAD choice, or to provide guidance on which AEADs might be (in)sufficient to make a protocol design secure. We develop generic symbolic AEAD models, which we instantiate for the Tamarin prover. Our approach can automatically and efficiently discover protocol attacks that could previously only be found using manual inspection, such as the Salamander attack on Facebook’s message franking, and attacks on SFrame and YubiHSM. Furthermore, our analysis reveals undesirable behaviors of several other protocols.

description: New particle formation (NPF) events substantially contribute to the number concentration of atmospheric particles and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) which can further influence radiative balance and Earth's climate. Many short-term studies have found that sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOM) are critical compounds in the early steps of NPF. However, it is not fully understood how NPF intensity and frequency respond to global warming and declining anthropogenic sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, affecting HOM and H2SO4 formation, respectively. Here, we report the results of long-term (over 20 years) datasets collected at the Station for Measuring Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations (SMEAR) II (Hyytiälä, Finland). Owing to the significant contribution of HOM in the initial and subsequent particle formation and growth, we have derived a HOM proxy for conducting the long-term trend analysis. Measurement results together with modelled proxies reveal the declining trends of SO2, H2SO4, Condensation Sink (CS), NPF frequency and particle formation rate (J3) along with increasing trends of monoterpenes and HOM.

Malaysia • 22 paratypes; Perlis, N of Kangar, limestone hill near Kampong Tebing Tinggi, on the face of the rock; 19 Dec. 1958; W. S. S. van der Feen-van Benthem Jutting leg.; RMNH.Moll.137139.
Type locality.
“ Limestone hill near Kampong Tebing Tinggi, N. of Kangar, Perlis ”, Malaysia.
Differential diagnosis.
This species is most similar to H. salpinx from which it can be separated by smaller number of overall stronger barriers and wider umbilicus (which is initially narrower in H. salpinx). See also under H. coriaceum sp. nov.
Distribution.
This species is known only from the type locality.
Remarks.
In paratypes examined, besides the five barriers that are always present, there were additional 1–3 smaller. These are interpalatal, infrapalatal and infraparietal and they were present in some and absent in other specimens. As a consequence, the number of barriers varied from 6–8 (as there was always at least one of the smaller). This was also noted by van Benthem Jutting (1960) in the original description. She also noted that the last whorl can be more or less detached or completely adnate, but this variation is not useful for separation of the species.

Its phase diagram as function of normal-state resistivity features a superconducting dome with a maximum critical temperature Tc well above the Tc = 1.2 K of pure aluminum. Here we show how the maximum Tc of this superconducting dome grows if the substrate temperature during deposition is lowered from 300 K to cooling with liquid nitrogen (150 K and 100 K) and liquid helium (25 K). The highest Tc we observe is 3.27 K. These results highlight that granular aluminum is a model system for complex phase diagrams of superconductors and demonstrate its potential in the context of high kinetic inductance applications. This is augmented by our observation of comparably sharp superconducting transitions of high-resistivity samples grown at cryogenic temperatures and by a thickness dependence even for films substantially thicker than the grain size.

description: Fair exchange (also referred to as atomic swap) is a fundamental operation in any cryptocurrency that allows users to atomically exchange coins.
While a large body of work has been devoted to this problem, most solutions lack on-chain privacy. Thus, coins retain a public transaction history which is known to degrade the fungibility of a currency. This has led to a flourishing line of related research on fair exchange with privacy guarantees. Existing protocols either rely on heavy scripting (which also degrades fungibility and leads to high transaction fees), do not support atomic swaps across a wide range of currencies, or come with incomplete security proofs.

To overcome these limitations, we introduce Sweep-UC (Read as Sweep Ur Coins.), the first fair exchange protocol that simultaneously is efficient, minimizes scripting, and is compatible with a wide range of currencies (more than the state of the art). We build Sweep-UC from modular sub-protocols and give a rigorous security analysis in the UC framework. Many of our tools and security definitions can be used in standalone fashion and may serve as useful components for future constructions of fair exchange.

description: This paper discusses some estimates of the Baltic Sea water balance components for the period 1951–1990. A considerable discrepancy is found resulting from different causes. The features of the trends in the inter-annual variations of the vertical water exchange components are also discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the inter-annual oscillations of sea level. The most important large-scale regularities of these oscillations are demonstrated for the period 1892–1994.

This essay explores Japanese graphic novels that feature male homosexuality, a genre known as yaoi. While this genre has mostly been explored from the perspective of feminist studies, the author offers an alternative critical framework that merges the perspectives of art history and media studies by reading yaoi next to nanshoku, a form of Japanese visual art popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. The differences in how both genres configure masculinity,
the author shows, can be traced (in some surprising ways) to Western influences on a longer history of male homosexual practices in Japanese society.

description: We report the discovery and characterization of a transiting sub-Saturn exoplanet TOI-6651b using PARAS-2 spectroscopic observations. The host, TOI-6651 ($m_{V}\approx 10.2$), is a sub-giant, metal-rich G-type star with $[{\rm Fe/H}] = 0.225^{+0.044}_{-0.045}$, $T_{\rm eff} = 5940\pm110\ \mathrm{K}$, and $\log{g} = 4.087^{+0.035}_{-0.032}$. Joint fitting of the radial velocities from PARAS-2 spectrograph and transit photometric data from Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) reveals a planetary mass of $61.0^{+7.6}_{-7.9}\ M_\oplus$ and radius of $5.09^{+0.27}_{-0.26}\ R_\oplus$, in a $5.056973^{+0.000016}_{-0.000018}$ day orbit with an eccentricity of $0.091^{+0.096}_{-0.062}$. TOI-6651b has a bulk density of $2.52^{+0.52}_{-0.44}\ \mathrm{g\ cm^{-3}}$, positioning it among the select few known dense sub-Saturns and making it notably the densest detected with TESS. TOI-6651b is consistent with the positive correlation between planet mass and the host star's metallicity. We find that a considerable portion $\approx$ 87% of the planet's mass consists of dense materials such as rock and iron in the core, while the remaining mass comprises a low-density envelope of H/He. TOI-6651b lies at the edge of the Neptunian desert, which will be crucial for understanding the factors shaping the desert boundaries. The existence of TOI-6651b challenges conventional planet formation theories and could be a result of merging events or significant atmospheric mass loss through tidal heating, highlighting the complex interplay of dynamical processes and atmospheric evolution in the formation of massive dense sub-Saturns.

description: The concentrations of heavy metals in different food web components, such as zooplankton, benthic invertebrates and fish, were examined in small humic lakes from southern Finland. Variation in metal concentrations in zooplankton was observed between different lakes and in benthic invertebrates between different animal groups. We found a significant relationship between lakewater pH and Cd concentration in isopods (Asellus aquaticus), while no relationship between the humic content of lakewater and Cd or Hg concentrations was observed. Annual variation in Cd, studied over a six-year period, was correlated with the amount of discharge, which indicated the importance of the annual loading of Cd from the catchment in determining accumulation in isopods. The metal concentrations in perch (Perca fluviatilis) were higher in a humic and acid lake than in a slightly humic lake and may partly be explained by the varying dietary regime of perch.

On the Node-Averaged Complexity of Locally Checkable Problems on Trees

description: Over the past decade, a long line of research has investigated the distributed complexity landscape of locally checkable labeling (LCL) problems on bounded-degree graphs, culminating in an almost-complete classification on general graphs and a complete classification on trees. The latter states that, on bounded-degree trees, any LCL problem has deterministic worst-case time complexity O(1), Θ(log* n), Θ(log n), or Θ(n^(1/k)) for some positive integer k, and all of those complexity classes are nonempty. Moreover, randomness helps only for (some) problems with deterministic worst-case complexity Θ(log n), and if randomness helps (asymptotically), then it helps exponentially.

In this work, we study how many distributed rounds are needed on average per node in order to solve an LCL problem on trees. We obtain a partial classification of the deterministic node-averaged complexity landscape for LCL problems. As our main result, we show that every problem with worst-case round complexity O(log n) has deterministic node-averaged complexity O(log* n). We further establish bounds on the node-averaged complexity of problems with worst-case complexity Θ(n^(1/k)): we show that all these problems have node-averaged complexity Ω^~(n^(1 / (2^k - 1))), and that this lower bound is tight for some problems.

description: The diversification of products increases the complexity of production, which intensifies the demands placed on employees. Digital assistance is expected to improve employee performance and flexibility. This paper examines the impact of digital assistance on labor productivity (hourly output) and experience of use in dependence on process complexity and employee competence. Within the framework of an empirical study in the process learning factory CiP of the TU Darmstadt, the effect was quantified using the example of a typical assembly process. This paper presents the concept and the results of the study. After the classification of an assembly task, these results can be used to support the selection decision for a digital assistance system according to cost–benefit aspects.

Young-of-the-year fish species composition in small coastal bays in the northern Baltic Sea, surveyed with beach seine and small underwater detonations
Creators: name: Lappalainen, A.
name: Urho, L.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board

description: The young-of-the-year (YOY) fish species composition of 12 small coastal bays in the Tvärminne region, southwestern Finland, was surveyed in late summer 2003 using a beach seine and underwater detonations. The surface area of the bays varied between 1 and 21 ha, and they were located along a clear exposure gradient reaching from an innermost bay system, where the surface water salinity was 1%–3%, to an outer archipelago, where salinity was around 5%–6%. The beach seine data demonstrated a change in dominance from freshwater species in the inner areas to marine species in the more exposed outer areas. Using the beach seine, the average number of YOY fish species in a single bay was 6.2 and the total number of YOY fish species caught was 17, while only four species were caught by detonation. Detonation sampling caught effectively only the YOY of some early spawning freshwater species, such as perch and roach. For these two species, both methods gave quite similar abundance patterns in the study bays. The YOY of some other common species, such as bleak and sticklebacks, were too small (8–22 mm) to be caught with the detonation method. The results demonstrated a rather low sampling precision with both methods even for the most abundant freshwater species, the main reason being that YOY fish are usually highly aggregated leading to a high frequency of zero samples.

description: Collaborative perception systems leverage multiple edge devices, such surveillance cameras or autonomous cars, to enhance sensing quality and eliminate blind spots. Despite their advantages, challenges such as limited channel capacity and data redundancy impede their effectiveness. To address these issues, we introduce the Prioritized Information Bottleneck (PIB) framework for edge video analytics. This framework prioritizes the shared data based on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and camera coverage of the region of interest (RoI), reducing spatial-temporal data redundancy to transmit only essential information. This strategy avoids the need for video reconstruction at edge servers and maintains low latency. It leverages a deterministic information bottleneck method to extract compact, relevant features, balancing informativeness and communication costs. For high-dimensional data, we apply variational approximations for practical optimization. To reduce communication costs in fluctuating connections, we propose a gate mechanism based on distributed online learning (DOL) to filter out less informative messages and efficiently select edge servers. Moreover, we establish the asymptotic optimality of DOL by proving the sublinearity of their regrets. To validate the effectiveness of the PIB framework, we conduct real-world experiments on three types of edge devices with varied computing capabilities. Compared to five coding methods for image and video compression, PIB improves mean object detection accuracy (MODA) while reducing 17.8% and reduces communication costs by 82.65% under poor channel conditions.

This essay recognizes the often overlooked contributions of urban, working-class families to the culture of play. Drawing on online archives of The New York Times and The New York Herald as well as the Playground Association of America’s official journal, The Playground, the author uncovers evidence of working-class families’ contributions to playground construction in New York City between 1900 and 1920, to reconstruct the history and theory of children's agency.
