description: In this work, we have developed a method to investigate the presence of four alkaloids and their migration potential from single-use, biodegradable Areca catechu-derived dinnerware. The seeds of Areca catechu palm, commonly referred to as the betel nut, are known to contain high concentrations of four alkaloids: arecoline, guvacoline, areciadine, and guvacine. Migration of these alkaloids into a food simulant was determined using a single-sided migration cell. The results indicate that carboxylic acid alkaloids, arecaidine, and guvacine, preferentially migrate under the experimental conditions which mimic the conditions of use for dinnerware.

description: The reptile fauna of Tinhosa Grande islet, Gulf of Guinea, comprises an endemic skink, Trachylepis adamastor, and an unidentified species of gecko of the genus Hemidactylus. Until recently, no molecular data were available for either species, impeding their phylogenetic placement. However, due to several synapomorphic characters, it was suggested that the Tinhosa Grande population would be related to the congeners of the neighbouring islands of Príncipe and São Tomé. In a recent survey of Tinhosa Grande islet we collected fresh material of both species, allowing us to examine their phylogenetic relationships to the other members of their respective genera occurring on the neighbouring islands using multigene Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses. In contrast with the morphological results and previous taxonomic allocations, our molecular results suggest that both T. adamastor and the unidentified Hemidactylus sp. are conspecific with their Príncipe counterparts, Trachylepis principensis and Hemidactylus principensis. While today Tinhosa and Príncipe differ strongly in their environmental conditions, we show that the islands have been repeatedly merged into a single landmass as a result of Quaternary sea level fluctuations. We suggest that the repeated fusion of the islands during low sea levels could have impeded the phylogenetic divergence of both populations, while contrasting habitats might have simultaneously promoted some morphological differences.

description: This paper is a supplement to and extension of arXiv:1903.01399. In the internal twistor space of the 4D Vasiliev's higher-spin gravity, we study the star-product eigenfunctions of number operators with generic complex eigenvalues. In particular, we focus on a set of eigenfunctions represented by formulas with generalized Laguerre functions. This set of eigenfunctions can be written as linear combinations of two subsets of eigenfunctions, one of which is closed under the star-multiplication with the creation operator to a generic complex power -- and the other similarly with the annihilation operator. The two subsets intersect when the left and the right eigenvalues differ by an integer. We further investigate how star-multiplications with both the creation and annihilation operators together may change such eigenfunctions and briefly discuss some problems that we are facing in order to use these eigenfunctions as the initial data to construct solutions to Vasiliev's equations.

 Remarks. As noted previously, specimens from the Afrotropical region are much smaller than those from the Palaearctic (Smit 1994). Males from Cameroon (n=1) and The Gambia (n=2) are 672–753 long and 575–627 wide, males from the Palaearctic (n=1 respectively 4, Morocco and The Netherlands) are 883–932 long and 753–782 wide. Morphologically they are similar, and are therefore all assigned to A. novus.

Protected Area-People Relationships in Tanzania: A Case Study of Saadani National Park and its Neighbouring Communities

description: The importance of understanding relationships between protected areas (PAs) and surrounding communities in a specific context has received increasing attention. However, studies examining such relationships are rather limited for Tanzania. Using the case study of Saadani National Park, this paper examines the extent to which the approaches of park - people relationships (benefit-sharing, mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, managing PAs in collaboration with local communities, and opening limited access to park resources), widely applied by PA managers worldwide to foster positive relationships with local communities, have been applied by managers of national parks in Tanzania, including views of neighbouring communities on such approaches. Fieldwork involved a multiple-method approach of qualitative research based on focus group discussions with village leaders, in-depth interviews with park officials, informal discussions with key informants, document analysis and a four-month period of field observations coupled with my experience with the wider community. The results indicate that benefit-sharing is the main approach to foster positive PA - people relationships in Tanzania's national parks. Other approaches (mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, managing PAs in collaboration, and opening limited access to park resources) are also important in shaping such relationships. Some are also applied, but with great variation in the extent of application. Others (e.g., opening limited access to park resources) have not been considered at all, despite their relevance. There are hindrances to these approaches such as policy issues, financial limitations, their importance to the local community, and logistical difficulties associated with them. The major stumbling blocks to local communities' collaboration in PA management are widespread poverty, low level of education, and maintenance of hunting tradition. These reflect the limited capacity for the local communities to conserve biodiversity. Poverty is one of the main contributors to biodiversity degradation - often reflected in overdependence on natural resources for a living, low level of education implies limited knowledge on conservation issues to make significant contribution to the protected area, and a tradition of hunting can lead to species extinction or a decline in species population - thereby threatening wildlife conservation.
Eigenoscillations of the differentially rotating Sun: II. Generalization of Laplace's tidal equation

description: The general PDE governing linear, adiabatic, nonraradial oscillations in a spherical, differentially and slowly rotating non-magnetic star is derived. This equation describes mainly low-frequency and high-degree g-modes, convective g-modes, and rotational Rossby-like vorticity modes and their mutual interaction for arbitrarily given radial and latitudinal gradients of the rotation rate. In "traditional approximation" the angular parts of the eigenfunctions are described by Laplace's tidal equation generalized here to take into account differential rotation. From a qualitative analysis of Laplace's tidal equation the sufficient condition for the formation of the dynamic shear latitudinal Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (LKHI) is obtained. The exact solutions of Laplace's equation for low frequencies and rigid rotation are obtained. There exists only a retrograde wave spectrum in this ideal case. The modes are subdivided into two branches: fast and slow modes. The long fast waves carry energy opposite to the rotation direction, while the shorter slow-mode group velocity is in the azimuthal plane along the direction of rotation. The eigenfuncions are expressed by Jacobi's polynomials which are polynomials of higher order than the Legendre's for spherical harmonics. The solar 22-year mode spectrum is calculated. It is shown that the slow 22-year modes are concentrated around the equator, while the fast modes are around the poles. The band of latitude where the mode energy is concentrated is narrow, and the spatial place of these band depends on the wave numbers (l, m).

As applications, we determine how tachyon condensations occur in various D-Dbar systems on the orbifolds. The calculations give results consistent with BSFT. The extended solution generating technique enables us to calculate more general decay modes of D-Dbar systems.

description: This paper analyzes the effect of family composition, and in particular the number of children, the age gap between the oldest and youngest child and the age of the youngest child, on parents’ involvement in social networks. The predictions of a simple theoretical model are confirmed by an empirical analysis of Israeli Social Survey data for 2002- 2006. The number of children has a U -shaped effect on parents' involvement in social networks, with substantial differences between fathers and mothers. The negative effect is dominant on the mothers’ involvement in social networks, while the positive effect is dominant on the father's involvement in social networks. The age gap between children has a positive effect on both parents’ involvement in social networks, while the age of the youngest child has a positive effect on the father's involvement in social networks. These results imply that social network considerations might be important for fertility decisions.

description: Organizational silence is interpreted as a collective phenomenon that acts as a barrier to the development of the pluralistic organization. Communication and the flow of information between employees and different departments are strategic factors to achieve organizational goals. Free flow of communication without any obstruction between managers and employees contribute to a more open and vibrant workplace. However, many employees often decide to remain silent rather than expressing their opinions and concerns. Employee silence results in negative impacts for both the employees and the organization. As employee silence hinder organizational progress, proper mechanisms have to be implemented to ensure that employees can voice out and be open about their concerns, without fear of penalization. In line with this view, the starting point for this would be to find out the reasons for silent behavior. The Maldives being among the developing countries, it is important to identify the factors which may hinder organizational development. Hence the main aim of this study is to identify whether employee silence exists among the group of employees in the Maldives and identify the reasons why employees remain silent. This study is a qualitative study where data was collected by conducting face to face interviews with 10 employees who work in various public organizations in the Maldives. The results of this study point to the existence of employee silence among the sample group in the Maldives.

description: The nature conservation sector within Australia is dominated by the government sector. The degree of dominance in Australia is not necessarily exhibited in other countries, in particular the United States. The degree of dominance is suggested to be, in part, a product of the institutional framework that nature conservation is undertaken within. The institutional framework along with the characteristics of the goods and services produced shapes the range and type of activities undertaken by the private sector. The range of constraints faced by the private sector within Australia differs from those faced in other nations. In this paper some of these differences are identified. The implications are examined by reference to institutions and the resulting incentives in the United States and the United Kingdom in particular. The paper concludes with suggestions for policy strategies to mobilise the nongovernment nature conservation sector.
The MicroBooNE continuous readout stream for detection of supernova neutrinos

description: Since the original detection of core-collapse supernova neutrinos in 1987, all large neutrino experiments seek to detect the neutrinos from the next nearby supernova. Among them, liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) offer a unique sensitivity to the electron neutrino flux of a supernova. However, the low energy of these events (scale of MeVs), and the fact that all large (multi-tonne) LArTPCs operating at the moment are located near the Earth's surface, and are therefore subject to an intense cosmic ray flux, makes triggering on the supernova neutrinos very challenging. Instead, MicroBooNE has pioneered a novel approach for detecting supernova neutrinos based on a continuous readout stream and a delayed trigger generated by other neutrino detectors (the Supernova Early Warning System, or SNEWS). MicroBooNE's data is stored temporarily for a few days, awaiting a SNEWS alert to prompt the permanent recording of the data. In order to cope with the large data rates produced by the continuous readout of the TPC and the PMT systems of MicroBooNE, FPGA-based zero-suppression algorithms have been developed.

description: We show that the N-patch functional renormalization group (pFRG), a theoretical method commonly applied for correlated electron systems, is unable to implement consistently the matrix element interference arising from strong momentum dependence in the Bloch state contents or the interaction vertices. We show that such a deficit could lead to results incompatible with checkable limits of weak and strong coupling. We propose that the pFRG could be improved by a better account of momentum conservation.

description: Identifying statistical dependence between the features and the label is a fundamental problem in supervised learning. This paper presents a framework for estimating dependence between numerical features and a categorical label using generalized Gini distance, an energy distance in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS). Two Gini distance based dependence measures are explored: Gini distance covariance and Gini distance correlation. Unlike Pearson covariance and correlation, which do not characterize independence, the above Gini distance based measures define dependence as well as independence of random variables. The test statistics are simple to calculate and do not require probability density estimation. Uniform convergence bounds and asymptotic bounds are derived for the test statistics. Comparisons with distance covariance statistics are provided. It is shown that Gini distance statistics converge faster than distance covariance statistics in the uniform convergence bounds, hence tighter upper bounds on both Type I and Type II errors. Moreover, the probability of Gini distance covariance statistic under-performing the distance covariance statistic in Type II error decreases to 0 exponentially with the increase of the sample size. Extensive experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

description: We study one parameter degenerations of complex projective manifolds by introducing certain type of Hodge metrics coming from the pluricanonical forms. We show that degenerations with at most canonical singularities are all in the finite distance boundary of moduli spaces. We also propose the converse to be true in the sense that finite distance degenerations admit birational models which have at most canonical singularities in the degenerate fiber. We verify this for curves and show that the Calabi-Yau case follows from the minimal model conjecture.

description: A rapid, sensitive and reliable analytical method for the simultaneous determination of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and fumonisin B2 (FB2) was developed and optimised using high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) coupled with online pre-column derivatization using o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME). This study focused on the optimisation of the online pre-column derivatization procedure, HPLC parameters, and sample pre-treatment. FB1 and FB2 in maize were extracted and purified using immunoaffinity column (IAC) and derived with OPA at room temperature. The OPA reagent was stable for 7 days, and OPA-derivatised products for 15 min. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 335 nm and 440 nm, respectively. Chromatography was performed using a C18 column and gradient elution at 1.0 mL min−1 with acetonitrile and 0.1% acetic acid at pH 3.21. The LOD values of FB1 and FB2 were 0.10 and 0.26 mg kg−1, respectively, comparable with or lower than those in other reports. The recoveries of FB1 and FB2 were between 85.6%–119.2%. The presented method is time-saving and robust, and successfully applied in determining FB1 and FB2 in maize.

description: A relation between the eigenvalues of an effective Hamilton operator and the poles of the $S$ matrix is derived which holds for isolated as well as for overlapping resonance states. The system may be a many-particle quantum system with two-body forces between the constituents or it may be a quantum billiard without any two-body forces. Avoided crossings of discrete states as well as of resonance states are traced back to the existence of branch points in the complex plane. Under certain conditions, these branch points appear as double poles of the $S$ matrix. They influence the dynamics of open as well as of closed quantum systems. The dynamics of the two-level system is studied in detail analytically as well as numerically.

title: Learning more than music: a community-based music program's impact on well-being in youth
Creators: name: Howell, Brittany
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: Participating in the arts has shown promise in improving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Adverse mental health is one of the leading causes of disability and lowered quality of life worldwide and often begins at young ages. Since early life experiences have a strong influence on youth, it is vital to identify potential prevention methods that promote mental health and wellness in youth populations. Participation in community music programs may be one possible way to promote well-being in youth. My thesis consisted of two separate but connected studies, a systematic review, and a qualitative study. The systematic review summarized relevant literature to explore the impact of community music instruction on social and emotional well-being in children and young adults aged 25 and under. The findings revealed that community-based music programs show potential in promoting social and emotional well-being outcomes. This review helped inform the qualitative study, which consisted of semi-structured interviews with students and their caregivers, and a focus group of instructors in a community-based music program. This study explored the perception of participation in the music program and its impact on students’ well-being. The interviews and focus group were analyzed for themes and the results were broken down into two categories: impact of the music program and environment of the music program. These categories include six broad themes: impact on feeling, impact on learning, opportunities for engagement, importance of accessibility, accepting and positive space, instructor influence. Overall, the community-based music program was perceived as beneficial to youth well-being.

description: This study aims to describe capital and capacity in the community of the community of masjid kampung Jogokariyan, Yogyakarta. Supported by life-history data, the Islamic education space is a reproduction of the community, while capital and capacity are energy for the sustainability of the community. The historical-sociology studies an approach in observing time diachronicly for daily social life. Sociologist Giddens supports the study of historical-sociology because it is able to track the interdependence between action and structure. Time is an integral part of the discussion of social reproduction (Giddens, 2001). The rules and resources used by actors are re-formed through the process of community use and sustainability. Capital comes from the management of Muslim merchants who support the community, while capacity building comes from empowerment actions in the form of increasing skills and placement of educational credentials. The results of this study indicate the relationship between actors is a network of managerial systems for sustainable communities. The masjid kampung community is the agent for solving social problems in the Kampong Jogokariyan area such as the inability to try micro-economic areas. The aspirations of the community experience the transmission of knowledge between the younger generation. The space for Islamic education has increased the spirit of development as well as being a cultural legacy with a homogeneous type of experience in the realm of the religious communities of the cities of Yogyakarta.

description: Irrigation is considered as an important input for increasing agriculturalproduction as well as the socio-economic development of the farmers.Water is natural but scarce input available to the farmers. Therefore, itis necessary to use it judiciously and efficiently. In order to increase themaximum use of irrigation, an efficient water resource management isnecessary efficient. Water resource management technique in agriculturesignifies the utilization of available water resources to the maximumpossible advantage for crop production and there by resulting in overallsocio-economic development of the farmers. It is of immense importanceto know the extent of utilization of canal irrigation water for increasingcrop production. So, the present study deals with tracing the temporalchanges in development of Canal Irrigation, finding out socio-economicstatus of the farmers in the district and to measure the impact on Canalirrigation on socio-economic status of the farmers. There has been asignificant positive relation found in canal irrigation and total irrigatedarea, as both increases towards positive direction. Rajganj block hashighest percentage of land under canal irrigation where Matiali block hasthe lowest percentage area under irrigation. Farming was observed as themain occupation in the study area. The farmers were mostly scheduledcaste and their education status was mostly up to primary level. From thecomparative cost-benefit analysis it is proved that the input expenditureis low in case of canal irrigation than STW and hence the profit margin ishigher in Canal irrigation system than STW

description: The Angolan Adder, Bitis heraldica (Bocage, 1889), is endemic to the Angolan central plateau and is one of the most poorly known and rarely observed species of African snakes. The phylogenetic placement of B. heraldica within the four subgenera of the genus Bitis (Bitis, Macrocerastes, Calechidna, Keniabitis) has been problematic. The few recent taxonomic and phylogenetic revisions dealing with African viperids and the genus Bitis have not included this species, resulting in the default acceptance of B. heraldica as member of the subgenus Calechidna, based on similar morphology and size. During a survey in Huambo Province, central Angola, we collected the first specimen of this species in the past 65 years, allowing us to examine its phylogenetic relationships to other Bitis using multigene Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses of all species of Bitis, except B. harenna. Contrary to expectations that B. heraldica is a member of the subgenus Calechidna, our results unambiguously place B. heraldica among members of the subgenus Macrocerastes, which contains the largest-bodied species of the genus. The placement of B. heraldica within Macrocerastes raises interesting questions about body-size evolution in viperids and contributes to a better understanding of biogeographic patterns in south-western Africa, and particularly Angola.

description: We introduce a general method for the experimental detection of entanglement by performing only few local measurements, assuming some prior knowledge of the density matrix. The idea is based on the minimal decomposition of witness operators into a pseudo-mixture of local operators. We discuss an experimentally relevant case of two qubits, and show an example how bound entanglement can be detected with few local measurements.

description: A number of extragalactic jets show periodic structures at different scales that can be associated with growing instabilities. The wavelengths of the developing instability modes and their ratios depend on the flow parameters, so the study of those structures can shed light on jet physics at the scales involved. In this work, we use the fits to the jet ridgeline obtained from different observations of S5 B0836$+$710 and apply stability analysis of relativistic, sheared flows to derive an estimate of the physical parameters of the jet. Based on the assumption that the observed structures are generated by growing Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability modes, we have run numerical calculations of stability of a relativistic, sheared jet over a range of different jet parameters. We have spanned several orders of magnitude in jet-to-ambient medium density ratio, and jet internal energy, and checked different values of the Lorentz factor and shear layer width. This represents an independent method to obtain estimates of the physical parameters of a jet. By comparing the fastest growing wavelengths of each relevant mode given by the calculations with the observed wavelengths reported in the literature, we have derived independent estimates of the jet Lorentz factor, specific internal energy, jet-to-ambient medium density ratio and Mach number. We obtain a jet Lorentz factor $γ\simeq 12$, specific internal energy of $\varepsilon \simeq 10^{-2}\,c^2$, jet-to-ambient medium density ratio of $η\approx 10^{-3}$, and an internal (classical) jet Mach number of $M_\mathrm{j}\approx 12$. We also find that the wavelength ratios are better recovered by a transversal structure with a width of $\simeq 10\,\%$ of the jet radius. This method represents a powerful tool to derive the jet parameters in all jets showing helical patterns with different wavelengths.

description: Ukiyo-e, or “pictures of the floating world,” were woodblock prints that, among other subjects, depicted the “women of pleasure” and Kabuki actors of Japan’s Edo Period pleasure quarters. The pleasure quarters, or yukaku, were popular gathering places for the chonin, or urban working class. This essay contextualizes ukiyo-e images of courtesans, geishas, and Kabuki actors, and discusses how such countercultural artworks often came into conflict with the ruling Tokugawa shogunate’s dominate social order. The essay also includes a brief discussion of historical relations between eastern ukiyo-e art and differing western traditions. The essay concludes with a comparison of significant, related ukiyo-e and western modernist prints.

description: We consider a nonlinear parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the $p$-Laplace differential operator and a reaction which has the competing effects of a parametric singular term and of a Carathéodory perturbation which is ($p-1$)-linear near $+\infty$. The problem is uniformly nonresonant with respect to the principal eigenvalue of $(-Δ_p,W^{1,p}_0(Ω))$. We look for positive solutions and prove a bifurcation-type theorem describing in an exact way the dependence of the set of positive solutions on the parameter $λ>0$.
Quadrature-dependent Bogoliubov transformations and multiphoton squeezed states

description: We introduce a linear, canonical transformation of the fundamental single--mode field operators $a$ and $a^{\dagger}$ that generalizes the linear Bogoliubov transformation familiar in the construction of the harmonic oscillator squeezed states. This generalization is obtained by adding to the linear transformation a nonlinear function of any of the fundamental quadrature operators $X_{1}$ and $X_{2}$, making the original Bogoliubov transformation quadrature--dependent. Remarkably, the conditions of canonicity do not impose any constraint on the form of the nonlinear function, and lead to a set of nontrivial algebraic relations between the $c$--number coefficients of the transformation. We examine in detail the structure and the properties of the new quantum states defined as eigenvectors of the transformed annihilation operator $b$. These eigenvectors define a class of multiphoton squeezed states. The structure of the uncertainty products and of the quasiprobability distributions in phase space shows that besides coherence properties, these states exhibit a squeezing and a deformation (cooling) of the phase--space trajectories, both of which strongly depend on the form of the nonlinear function. The presence of the extra nonlinear term in the phase of the wave functions has also relevant consequences on photon statistics and correlation properties. The non quadratic structure of the associated Hamiltonians suggests that these states be generated in connection with multiphoton processes in media with higher nonlinearities.

Rediscovery, range extension, habitat and phylogenetic relation of the endemic Scaled Sandveld Lizard Nucras scalaris Laurent, 1964 (Sauria: Lacertidae) in the central Angolan plateau

description: The Scaled Sandveld Lizard Nucras scalaris Laurent, 1964 is a poorly known lacertid endemic to north-eastern Angola and is only known from the type series collected more than half a century ago. The original description provided a comprehensive morphological description, but there was a lack of information regarding its evolutionary relationships and habitat associations. A recent discovery of N. scalaris from Cusseque, Bié Province, on the central Angolan plateau provided the opportunity to address some knowledge gaps of this species. A phylogenetic analysis confirmed its distinctiveness at the species level. Despite a limited dataset, the analysis suggests that N. scalaris is sister to N. broadleyi rather than N. lalandii, the latter having been assumed to be the sister species, because of morphological similarity between them. The new record of N. scalaris represents a range extension of more than 350 km to the southwest and extends the elevation range to 1 570 m above sea level, compared to previous known localities at about 1 300 m above sea level (Alto Cuílo and Alto Chicapa, in Lunda Sul Province). The specimen also provides new information on live coloration, as well as the habitat association of grassy shrubland that is dominated by geoxylic suffrutices (the so-called ‘underground forests’) characteristic of the Angolan Miombo Woodlands. This new information raises the question whether poor survey data have led to an under-estimation of faunal diversity in this peculiar and overlooked vegetation type, and reinforces the need for further surveys which could highlight the importance of this habitat.

description: The QCD phase transitions are investigated in the presence of an external magnetic field in the Polyakov improved Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. We detailedly analyze that how the filling of multiple Landau levels by light (up and down) quarks deforms the QCD phase structure under different magnetic fields. In particular, we concentrate on the phase transition under a magnetic field possibly reachable in the non-central heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. The numerical result shows that two first-order transitions or more complicate phase transition in the light quark sector can exist for some magnetic fields, different from the phase structure under a very strong or zero magnetic field. These phenomena are very interesting and possibly relevant to the non-central heavy-ion collision experiments with colliding energies at several $A$ GeV as well as the equation of state of magnetars. Besides, we investigate the entropy oscillation with the increase of baryon density in a magnetic background.

The Outflow of Labor from Agriculture: A Framework for Analyzing Migration from Rural Areas

description: This paper examines the context and determinants of rural migration with particular emphasis on the interaction between demographic and agricultural related variables. Migration is one of the demographic phenomena which has both consumption and production overtones, and is a family rather than an individual decision. Consequently, the operation of the family as a decision -making unit has received special emphasis in this paper. The decisions and the choices open to the family are constrainted by the setting within which she lives. The setting is described by three sets of variables at the village level, that describe level and pattern of labor utilization, level of agricultural technology, and village's environment which is defined to include two groups of variables; those describing level and distribution of resources within the village and those describing the extent of the village integration into the outside world. It is argued that while the setting determines the volume of migration, the individual's propensity to migrate is influenced by the socio-economic position of the the family, and type of family organization and strategy. A two-1-level analysis of migration (at the village level and at the household level) in villages of different settings is therefore needed, in order to capture the different patterns of causal relationship between variables on one hand while increasing the policy relevance the results on the other.
