description: The air volume fraction (AVF) of a sea foam layer is a key parameter that affects the microwave emissivity and brightness temperature of the sea surface. To extract AVF of a sea foam layer from the measured emissivity data at microwave frequencies, a novel retrieval method is developed based on the spectral representation of effective dielectric constant of sea foam composites media, with the volume fraction of constituents and the geometry of foam microstructure included in the spectral function. In the retrieval method, the cost function of emissivity is constructed with two constraints: one is the first two moments of the spectral function and the other is derived from the spectral representation of coated spherical composites. We tested the inverse method using the simulation data of a known emissivity model with Gaussian noise. Good agreement is obtained between the inverse results and the known AVF of sea foam from the simulated emissivity data with varying sea surface temperature, salinity, and incident angle. Finally, the proposed method was used to estimate the AVF of the sea foam layer from the measured emissivity data at frequencies 1.4, 6.8, 10.8, 35, and 36.5 GHz. Generally, the retrieved values of the AVF fall in the range of 0.85–0.98. This study implies that our method can be extended to retrieve the volume fraction of constituents of other composites media from the passive microwave remote-sensing data.

 Spruce 2577, which is the type collection of E. purpurea cited by Bentham (1870), combine collections made in three different dates: September 1852, October 1852 – January 1853, and February 1853. However, to comprise a single gathering, the specimens need to be collected on the same date (Turland et al. 2018) and, thus, Spruce 2577 must be considered different collections. As Bentham (1870) did not specify the collection date, the exsiccate K000555096 with a handwritten annotation by Spruce is not the holotype as informed by Cowan (1975), and we correct here Cowan’s use of holotype to lectotype.

Generalized Inverses of Boolean Tensors via Einstein Product

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: Applications of the theory and computations of boolean matrices are of fundamental importance to study a variety of discrete structural models. But the increasing ability of data collection systems to store huge volumes of multidimensional data, the boolean matrix representation of data analysis is not enough to represent all the information content of the multiway data in different fields. From this perspective, it is appropriate to develop an infrastructure that supports reasoning about the theory and computations. In this paper, we discuss the generalized inverses of the Boolean tensors with the Einstein product. Further, we elaborate on this theory by producing a few characterizations of different generalized inverses and several equivalence results on boolean tensors. In addition to these, we define the rank of a boolean tensor through space decomposition.

description: We find that the fundamental quadratic form of classical string propagation in $2+1$ dimensional constant curvature spacetimes solves the Sinh-Gordon equation, the Cosh-Gordon equation or the Liouville equation. We show that in both de Sitter and anti de Sitter spacetimes (as well as in the $2+1$ black hole anti de Sitter spacetime), {\it all} three equations must be included to cover the generic string dynamics. The generic properties of the string dynamics are directly extracted from the properties of these three equations and their associated potentials (irrespective of any solution). These results complete and generalize earlier discussions on this topic (until now, only the Sinh-Gordon sector in de Sitter spacetime was known). We also construct new classes of multi-string solutions, in terms of elliptic functions, to all three equations in both de Sitter and anti de Sitter spacetimes. Our results can be straightforwardly generalized to constant curvature spacetimes of arbitrary dimension, by replacing the Sinh-Gordon equation, the Cosh-Gordon equation and the Liouville equation by higher dimensional generalizations.

description: The EU Nature Restoration Law represents an important opportunity for freshwater habitat restoration and, consequently, freshwater biodiversity protection. However, a number of challenges must be anticipated in its implementation, which may compromise its success. Some aspects, particularly those relating to freshwater ecosystems, require more clarification. We use riverine ecosystems to illustrate existing ambiguities in the proposed legislation and the potential consequences of leaving these aspects open to interpretation during the implementation process. We also discuss potential solutions to these problems which could help ensure that the law's objectives are met. We argue that river network structure and connectivity dimensions, which result into river meta-ecosystems, must be explicitly considered. For that purpose, we ask for clear definitions of the critical terms “free-flowing rivers,” “barriers,” and “reference areas.” In addition, we recommend developing methods for integrated assessment of connectivity across river networks. As a key property of river ecosystems, this must be used to prioritize actions to increase the length and number of free-flowing rivers. Adequate restoration planning at larger spatial scales will benefit from a meta-ecosystem perspective and accurate representation of aquatic-terrestrial linkages, which will significantly improve the efficacy of restoration efforts. Furthermore, stakeholder and citizen engagement offer important opportunities at local, national, and European scales, and should be fostered to ensure inclusive decision-making. The conservation challenges outlined here are particularly important for rivers, but they also have implications for other ecosystems. These considerations are useful for policymakers, conservationists, and other stakeholders involved in the Nature Restoration Law and related policy initiatives.

description: The interaction between water molecules and surfaces in porous carbon‐based materials plays a significant role in various fields including but not limited to catalysis, gas sorption, or electrochemical energy storage and conversion. The incorporation of nitrogen enhances the hydrophilicity of typically rather nonpolar carbon‐based materials but the molecular understanding of water chemical configuration in such porous materials remains incomplete. Water adsorption on nitrogen‐containing nanoporous carbon surfaces is governed by a subtle balance between water–water and water–surface hydrogen bonding interactions, which together determine the water structures formed and their stability. In this work, in situ Scanning Transmission X‐ray microscopy performed on individual nanoporous carbon particles under a humid atmosphere is used to elucidate the interactions between nitrogen‐containing carbon surfaces and water molecules. The hydrogen bonding of water is found to be nonuniform within the particles and to depend on the nanopore size and the chemical bonding of nitrogen atoms. The nature of the nitrogen sites interacting with water is further characterized by resonance inelastic X‐ray Scattering and near ambient pressure X‐ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. This study provides new perspectives on water interaction when confined in nanoporous nitrogen‐rich carbons.

description: Spin-2 particles, or gravitons, present both virtues and vices not displayed by their lower spin peers. A massless graviton can only be described consistently by a single theory---general relativity---while mutual couplings among ``colored'' gravitons are simply not allowed. A massive graviton is also believed to admit a unique set of interactions, ones that are however pestered by superluminal perturbations and a rather limited effective field theory. And then there is the third member of the clique, the partially massless graviton, who lives in a universe with a naturally small cosmological constant, but which nonetheless seems not to exist at all. The aim of this thesis is to explore this enormously rich and tightly fettered realm of classical theories of spin-2 fields.

description: The main objective of the present study was to explore the barriers to the development of agricultural businesses in the incubator of Razi University, Iran. The research was an applied study in terms of objective and an exploratory mixed method in terms of data collection methodology. The statistical population was composed of agricultural businesses and their personnel in the incubator of Razi University in the qualitative phase and of the agricultural experts in the quantitative phase, as well. The samples for both qualitative and quantitative phases were taken by purposive sampling method. Ten people were sampled for the qualitative phase, and three were sampled for the quantitative phase. In qualitative phase, data were collected by semi-structured interviews that were kept on until theoretical saturation. Then, the content of the interviews was analyzed to classify the data. In quantitative phase, a questionnaire was developed according to the results of the first phase and was administered to the experts. Data were analyzed by the Analytical Hierarchy process method using Expert Choice Software Package. The results revealed that in-incubator agricultural businesses are challenged with a lot of barriers to their development. They were classified in five main categories including knowledge-skill, structural-legal, business-production environment, support-facility limitations, and administrative-financial. Among these factors, support-facility limitations were ranked the first with relative importance (weight of 0.237).

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 122, 107-126
description: The Tudor period was marked by recurrent wars with France, followed by the threat of invasion from the Spanish Netherlands, placing the maritime counties of south-east England in the front line of England's defences. The Rye chamberlains' accounts record in considerable detail the income and expenditure of the town during the 16th century, providing a unique picture of the impact of war on one of the larger south coast ports. This article reconstructs the main features of Rye's military contributions, offering new insights into the conduct of Channel warfare in the 16th century and particularly into the importance of the town's privateering ventures which were both a major source of revenue and a substantial contribution to England's war effort.

description: Innovation is a complex phenomenon and process involving translation of knowledge into new techniques, products, services. It is considered crucial for sustainable agriculture development and achievement of long-term food security. The review describes the diversity of innovation and relates it to agro-food sector. It also sheds light on different innovation models and explores their contribution to framing agro-food sustainability transitions. There are many variations in the use of the term ‘innovation’. Typical distinctions encountered in the literature are incremental vs. radical innovation and product vs. process vs. organizational innovation. A significant feature of the development of modern innovation thinking has been a gradual broadening of innovation scope as well as more attention to sustainability. The scope of innovation was broadened to include soft (social/organisation) innovations besides hard/technical ones. In fact, the interest has shifted from technological innovation to disruptive niche innovations fundamental for socio-technical transitions. Moreover, as recognition of system complexity, frameworks such as the Innovation systems and the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) were developed and promoted. However, despite positive innovation benefits, relationship between innovation and sustainability in the agro-food arena is far from straightforward. Therefore, focus is gradually moving from innovation process to its impacts in terms of sustainability and its contribution to sustainability transitions in agriculture and food systems.

description: This study is a content analysis to address the silencing and erasure of American history in education. The goal of this paper is to find where history is being changed or erased in high school curriculum textbooks and discuss how public libraries can provide curriculum support to schools. A quantitative content analysis and a qualitative of three U.S history textbooks used in high school curricula to find three historical events (Tulsa Race Massacre, Indigenous Boarding Schools, and Japanese Internment Camps). All three historical were found in the textbooks, however, the Tulsa Race Massacre and the Indigenous Boarding Schools were not described to the full extent of the historical event. In considering the extent of the silencing and erasure of U.S. History in school curricula, teachers and library staff can strive to find resources to bridge the gap in students' education.

description: Site or project specific data quality objectives (DQOs) describe the amount of error that is acceptable for a water quality monitoring program. Held quality control samples are used to include sample collection in the measurement of data quality. The results of analysis of the field quality control samples are compared to DQOs to evaluate if overall data quality is acceptable. Gibraltar Mine has a water quality monitoring program for surface water, ground water and process water. The program includes the analysis of total metals, dissolved metals, anions and nutrients. Field quality control samples include field blanks, filtration blanks, and field duplicates. In this study DQOs are developed for field blanks and field duplicates. DQOs are also developed for the comparison of total and dissolved metals, which is not normally considered a component of quality control. The proposed DQOs are applied to water quality monitoring data from Gibraltar Mine. This paper discusses the development and application of DQOs for water quality monitoring at Gibraltar Mine, and presents new DQO approaches for field duplicates and comparison of total and dissolved metals.

description: The skeletons of sharks and rays, fashioned from cartilage, and armored by a veneer of mineralized tiles (tesserae) present a mathematical challenge: How can the continuous covering be maintained as the skeleton expands? This study, using microCT and custom visual data analyses of growing stingray skeletons, systematically examines tessellation patterns and morphologies of the many thousand interacting tesserae covering the hyomandibula (a skeletal element critical to feeding), over a two‐fold developmental change in hyomandibula length. The number of tesserae remains surprisingly constant, even as the hyomandibula expands isometrically, with all hyomandibulae displaying self‐similar distributions of tesserae shapes/sizes. Although the distribution of tesserae geometries largely agrees with the rules for polyhedra tiling of complex surfaces—dominated by hexagons and a minor fraction of pentagons and heptagons, but very few other polygons—the agreement with Euler's classic mathematical laws is not perfect. Contrary to the assumed uniform growth rate (which is shown would create geometric incompatibilities), larger tesserae grow faster to accommodate skeletal expansion. It is hypothesized that this local regulation of global system complexity is driven by tension (from cartilaginous core expansion) in the fibers connecting tesserae, with strain‐responsive cells orchestrating local mineral apposition.

description: Software-defined networking (SDN) attracts the attention of the research community in recent years, as evidenced by a large number of survey and review papers. The architecture of SDN clearly recognizes three planes: application, control, and data plane. The application plane executes network applications; control plane regulates the rules for the entire network based on the requests generated by network applications; and based on the set rules, the controller configures the switches in the data plane. The role of the switch in the data plane is to simply forward packets based on the instructions given by the controller. By analyzing SDN-related research papers, it is observed that research, from the very beginning, is insufficiently focused on the data plane. Therefore, this paper gives a comprehensive overview of the data plane survey with particular emphasis on the problem of programmability and flexibility. The first part of the survey is dedicated to the evaluation of actual data plane architectures through several definitions and aspects of data plane flexibility and programmability. Then, an overview of SDN-related research was presented with the aim of identifying key factors influencing the gradual deviation from the original data plane architectures given with ForCES and OpenFlow specifications, which we called the data plane evolution. By establishing a correlation between the treated problem and the problem-solving approaches, the limitations of ForCES and OpenFlow data plane architectures were identified. Based on identified limitations, a generalization of approaches to addressing the problem of data plane flexibility and programmability is made. By examining generalized approaches, open issues have been identified, establishing the grounds for future research directions proposal.

description: Mast cells are immune cells that are found in the brain. Behavioral and endocrine states increase the number and activation of brain mast cells, independent of the animal's immune status. Activation causes the release of many neuro-active mediators into the brain parenchyma. However, the function or impact of mast cells in the brain has not been studied. The recruitment of mast cells to the brain, and their subsequent activation following a stressor suggests that they may have a role in regulating the stress response through interactions with neural systems. The goal of this thesis is to examine the functional role of brain mast cells using a mouse model. Mast cells are present in the mouse brain parenchyma, meninges and choroid plexus from birth throughout adulthood.  A mast cell deficient (KitW-sh /W-sh) mouse is a strong model to study the effects of mast cells on brain physiology and behavior. The homozygote mutant lacks all brain mast cells resulting in reductions of mast cell-derived mediators. Interestingly, mast cell deficient mice have increased levels of anxiety-like behavior and stress-induced defecation compared to heterozygote (mast cell competent) littermate controls. Since mast cells are activated by stressors via corticotrophin releasing factor, it is surprising that no differences in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis reactivity are seen between mast cell deficient mice and littermate controls. Instead, the effects of mast cells on anxiety behavior and physiology may be mediated through mast cell contribution of serotonin to the hippocampus, a brain region where many mast cells reside. In vitro, application of a mast cell activator to hippocampal slices causes a rise in serotonin levels in the hippocampus of control, but not mast cell deficient mice. Given the known effects of hippocampal serotonin as a trophic factor and transmitter, hippocampal function is likely affected by the absence of mast cells. There are deficits in hippocampal neurogenesis, but not subventricular zone neurogenesis (a brain region with no mast cells), in mast cell deficient mice. This deficit can be reversed by increasing serotonin signaling with SSRI treatment or by enriched housing conditions. Mast cell deficient mice also have deficits in hippocampal dependent spatial learning and memory which can be reversed by enriched housing. Overall these results show that mast cells affect neural systems and behavior in the absence of an immune stimulus. These studies link an immune cell to the brain and behavior, and suggest a beneficial role for the recruitment of mast cells and subsequent neuroimmune interactions.

description: This dissertation examines how matching -- in marriage markets and labor markets -- can change under certain market circumstances and under different information provisions.
      The first two chapters analyze marriage market, with a particular focus on the impacts of cross-border marriage in marriage markets. Given the severely male-biased sex ratios in many Asian countries including China and India, demands for foreign brides are expected to grow in the near future. In the first chapter, I theoretically investigate the impacts of cross-border marriage on marital patterns and surplus division of couples. I use a frictionless transferable utility matching framework to analyze how cross-border marriage affects matching patterns and marital shares for couples.
      In the second chapter, I test the model's predictions, focusing on Taiwan (a wealthier side with male biased sex ratios) and Vietnam (a poorer side with balanced sex ratios in the marriage market). I find that cross-border marriages are predominantly made up of Taiwanese men and Vietnamese women; Taiwanese men are selected from the middle level of the socioeconomic status distribution, and Vietnamese women are positively selected. Moreover, cross-border marriage significantly affects men and women who stay in their own countries without engaging in cross-border marriage, by altering marriage rate, matching partners, and intra-household allocations within the households. My results suggest that changes in trade and immigration policies can have far-reaching implications on marital outcomes and women's bargaining power.
      The third chapter investigates job and jobseeker matching in labor market. Specifically, it explores whether inaccurate expectations of job seekers about their competitiveness contribute to poor job matching in developing countries. We utilize the largest online job portal in the Middle East and North Africa region to evaluate the effect of an intervention providing information about own competitiveness to job applicants. Providing information about the relative fit of an applicant's background for a particular job causes job seekers to apply for jobs that are better matches given their background. The effects of information are the largest among entry-level workers with higher levels of education, who generally face the highest unemployment rates in the region. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that changes over time in demand for skills in the job market may lead to inaccurate expectations that hinder labor market matching. Improving the efficiency of online job search may be particularly welfare-enhancing in the Middle East and North Africa region given that the young, highly-educated subpopulation that faces the greatest labor market hurdles also has the highest level of internet connectedness.

description: We derive the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom extremal black holes in type II string theory. The derivation is performed in two separate (T-dual) weak coupling pictures. One uses a type IIB bound state problem of D5- and D1-branes, while the other uses a bound state problem of D0- and D4-branes with macroscopic fundamental type IIA strings. In both cases, the D-brane systems are also bound to a Kaluza-Klein monopole, which then yields the four-dimensional black hole at strong coupling.

description: Eperua schomburgkiana Bentham (1870: 226)
 Lectotype (designated by Cowan 1975 /designated here): — GUYANA. Essequibo & Rupununy, 1838, Rob. Schomburgk Ser. 1 517 (K[000555112] image!; isolectotypes BM[000065064] image!, G[00365223] image!, G[00365208] image!, K[000555113] image!, K[000555114] image!, P[00252893] image!, W not seen).
 In spite of being collected for the first time in Brazil only in 1965 (collection number: Prance et al. 1652), Bentham (1870) described E. schomburgkiana in the Flora Brasiliensis. He described E. schomburgkiana in a comment on the species E. purpurea, providing a complete diagnosis and pointing that the plant was found in Guyana by Schomburgk. As there were two collections of E. schomburgkiana by Schomburgk, 517 and 317, Cowan (1975) selected the 517 at K as lectotype and cited the exsiccates at BM, G, K, P, and W as isolectotypes. However, Cowan (1975) did not specify which exsiccate refers to the lectotype and isolectotypes at K, which makes the present second-step lectotypification necessary.

description: The bundle structure of the space $\Ab$ of Ashtekar's generalized connections is investigated in the compact case. It is proven that every stratum is a locally trivial fibre bundle. The only stratum being a principal fibre bundle is the generic stratum. Its structure group equals the space $\Gb$ of all generalized gauge transforms modulo the constant center-valued gauge transforms. For abelian gauge theories the generic stratum is globally trivial and equals the total space $\Ab$. However, for a certain class of non-abelian gauge theories -- e.g., all SU(N) theories -- the generic stratum is nontrivial. This means, there are no global gauge fixings -- the so-called Gribov problem. Nevertheless, there is a covering of the generic stratum by trivializations each having total induced Haar measure 1.
