description: We present research results on the electronic transport in heterostructures based on p-type nickel oxide (NiO) with the n-type oxide semiconductors zinc oxide (ZnO) and cadmium oxide (CdO). NiO is a desirable candidate for application in (opto-)electronic devices. However, because of its small electron affinity, heterojunctions with most n-type oxide semiconductors exhibit conduction and valence band offsets at the heterointerface in excess of 1 eV. ZnO/NiO junctions exhibit a so called type-II band alignment, making electron-hole recombination the only process by which a current can vertically flow through the structure. These heterojunctions are nevertheless shown to be of practical use in efficient optoelectronic devices, as exemplified here by our UV-converting transparent solar cells. These devices, although exhibiting high conversion efficiencies, suffer from two light-activated recombination channels connected to the type-II interface, one of which we identify and analyse in more detail here. Furthermore, CdO/NiO contacts were studied - a heterostructure with even larger band offsets such that a type-III band alignment is achieved. This situation theoretically enables the development of a 2-dimensional electronic system consisting of topologically protected states. We present experiments demonstrating that the CdO/NiO heterostructure indeed hosts a conductive layer absent in both materials when studied separately.

description: A five-year linear programming farm planning model, permitting the inclusion of nitrogen decay rates, was constructed to include the use of sewage sludge as a primary crop nutrient source. Twenty-two scenarios depicting various operating conditions were examined and maximized net farm incomes compared . Although only a small percentage difference resulted between the highest and the lowest net revenues over the five-year period , given a variety of operating circumstances, those scenarios including the use of sludge yielded the highest net incomes. Nitrogen application restrictions were at their upper limits when sludge use was included in the optimal solution. The calculation of net present values, for the two sludge contents considered , provided value estimates compatible with the linear programming solutions.

description: The symmetries arise due to heavy quark and large energy limit help us to reduce the number of independent form factors in the heavy-to-light $B$-meson decays. It is expected that these symmetry relations are not exact and are broken by the perturbative effects, namely, the vertex corrections and the hard-spectator scatterings. The former are included in the form factors via vertex renormalization whereas the later are calculated through light-cone distribution amplitudes. We first calculate these symmetry breaking corrections to the form factors involved in semileptonic $B$-meson to an axial-vector $(K_{1})$-meson decay. Later, by using these form factors we see their effect on the physical observables such as the zero-position of the forward-backward $(\mathcal{A}_{FB})$ asymmetry and the longitudinal lepton polarization ($P_L$) asymmetry in $B\rightarrow K_1(1270) μ^+μ^-$ decay. We find that as a result of these corrections to the form factors, the zero-position of the forward-backward asymmetry is shifted by $10\%$ from its SM value while the effects on $P_L$ are rather insignificant.

description: We present the first results of an XMM-Newton EPIC observation of the luminous X-ray source population in the supergiant spiral galaxy M101. We have studied the properties of the fourteen most luminous sources, all of which have intrinsic X-ray luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit for a 1.4 solar mass neutron star, with a subset in the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) regime. Eleven sources show evidence of short-term variability, and most vary by a factor of ~2-4 over a baseline of 11-24 yrs, providing strong evidence that these sources are accreting X-ray binary (XRB) systems. The sources show a variety of spectral shapes, with no apparent spectral distinction between those above and below the ULX threshold. Nine are well-fit with either simple absorbed disc blackbody/powerlaw models. However for three of the four sources best-fit with powerlaw models, we cannot exclude the disc blackbody fits and therefore conclude that, coupled with their high luminosities, eight out of nine single-component sources are possibly high state XRBs. The nuclear source has the only unambiguous powerlaw spectrum (photon index~2.3), which may be evidence for a low-luminosity AGN. The remaining five sources require at least two-component spectral fits. We have compared the spectral shapes of nine sources covered by both this observation and an archival 100ks Chandra observation of M101; the majority show behaviour typical of Galactic XRBs i.e. softening with increasing luminosity. We find no definitive spectral signatures to indicate that these sources contain neutron star primaries, and conclude that they are likely to be stellar-mass black hole XRBs, with black hole masses of ~2-23 solar masses if accreting at the Eddington limit (abridged).

description: This paper discusses how model checking, a technique used for the verification of behavioural requirements of dynamic systems, can be usefully deployed for the verification of contracts. A process view of agreements between parties is taken, whereby a contract is modelled as it evolves over time in terms of actions or more generally events that effect changes in its state. Modelling is done with Petri Nets in the spirit of other research work on the representation of trade procedures. The paper illustrates all the phases of the verification technique through an example and argues that the approach is useful particularly in the context of pre-contractual negotiation and contract drafting. The work reported here is part of a broader project on the development of logic-based tools for the analysis and representation of legal contracts.

description: The star forming region of the Orion Nebula (ONC) is ideal to study the stellar dynamics of young stars in a clustered environment. Using Gaia DR2 we search for the pre-main sequence stars with unusually high proper motions that may be representative of a dynamical ejection from unstable young triple systems or other close three-body encounters. We identify twenty-six candidate stars that are likely to have had such an encounter in the last 1 Myr. Nine of these stars could be traced back to the densest central-most region of the ONC, the Trapezium, while five others have likely interactions with other OB-type stars in the cluster. Seven stars originate from other nearby populations within the Orion Complex that coincidentally scattered towards the ONC. A definitive point of origin cannot be identified for the remaining sources. These observations shed light on the frequency of the ejection events in young clusters.

description: Ihlea punctata
 Morphology
Aggregate form with a thin and fusiform test. Body shape oval to cylindrical. Aggregate form with two rows of pigment spots at each side, from the endostyle to the ventral body surface. Six muscle bands are continuous dorsally but interrupted ventrally. MI– MII unite mid-dorsally, making a group of four muscle bands with MIII and MIV. MV and MVI are united mid-dorsally as well. Ventrally, the muscle bands are asymmetrical. Distinct dextral and sinistral individuals depend on the same morphology. Intestine is coiled. Ovary and embryo are situated on right side between MV and MVI. Solitary form has a thin test which is loosely attached to the body wall. Nine wide body muscles cover almost the whole body. A variable number of body muscles fuse in the mid-dorsal region. Except MVIII all of them are completely continuous around the body. The dorsal tubercle is a short straight stick. The stolon is tightly coiled underneath the nucleus. The length of the aggregated form can be up to 23 mm and the length of the solitary form can reach up to 71 mm (authors’ personal observations; Marine Species Identification Portal 2017).
 Biogeography
 Cosmopolitan, eurythermal species of temperate and tropical waters, absent from the Red Sea and the subtropical South Pacific Ocean. Epipelagic, living between the surface and about 150 m water depth. It does not migrate vertically. Although Ihlea punctata has a wide distribution, it is one of the less common salpids (WoRMS Editorial Board 2017).

In this study, we analyse the effects of climate change in the Murray–Darling Basin using a simulation model that incorporates a state-contingent representation of uncertainty. The severity of the impact depends, in large measure, on the extent to which climate change is manifested as an increase in the frequency of drought conditions. Adaptation will partially offset the adverse impact of climate change.

description: To understand the role that planet formation history has on the observable atmospheric carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) we have produced a population of astrochemically evolving protoplanetary disks. Based on the parameters used in a pre-computed population of growing planets their combination allows us to trace the molecular abundances of the gas that is being collected into planetary atmospheres. We include atmospheric pollution of incoming (icy) planetesimals as well as the effect of refractory carbon erosion noted to exist in our own solar system. We find that the carbon and oxygen content of Neptune-mass planets are determined primarily through solid accretion and result in more oxygen-rich (by roughly two orders of magnitude) atmospheres than Hot-Jupiters, whose C/O are primarily determined by gas accretion. Generally we find a `main-sequence' between the fraction of planetary mass accreted through solid accretion and the resulting atmospheric C/O - with planets of higher solid accretion fraction having lower C/O. Hot-Jupiters whose atmospheres have been chemically characterized agree well with our population of planets, and our results suggest that Hot Jupiter formation typically begins near the water ice line. Lower mass hot-Neptunes are observed to be much more carbon-rich (with 0.33 $\lesssim$ C/O $\lesssim$ 1) than is found in our models (C/O $\sim 10^{-2}$), and suggest that some form of chemical processing may affect their observed C/O over the few Gyrs between formation and observation. Our population reproduces the general mass-metallicity trend of the solar system and qualitatively reproduces the C/O-metallicity anti-correlation that has been inferred for the population of characterized exoplanetary atmospheres.

description: We have studied the magnetic-field and concentration dependences of the magnetizations of the hole and Mn subsystems in diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs. A mean-field approximation to the hole-mediated interaction is used, in which the hole concentration p(x) is parametrized in terms of a fitting (of the hole effective mass and hole/local moment coupling) to experimental data on the Tc critical temperature. The dependence of the magnetizations with x, for a given temperature, presents a sharply peaked structure, with maxima increasing with applied magnetic field, which indicates that application to diluted-magnetic-semiconductor devices would require quality-control of the Mn-doping composition. We also compare various experimental data for Tc(x) and p(x) on different Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs samples and stress the need of further detailed experimental work to assure that the experimental measurements are reproducible.

Localisation, Internationalisation and Globalisation
Creators: name: Anastasiou, Reinhard Schäler
Publisher: name: Syn-Thèses
Year: 2010

description: This paper deals with Globalisation, Internationalisation, and Localisation; these terms are often used interchangeably, which is incorrect. Internationalisation is the step before localisation, while globalisation covers both internationalisation and localisation and is generally considered more as a strategy than a task. In this paper we will focus on one particular aspect of localisation, i.e. the effect of mainstream localisation efforts on people whose languages are not covered because they do not represent a market and are thus deprived of access to vital information. Very often important information to secure the health, freedom, education, and financial well-being of people does not reach many parts of the world and is only available in English. This paper raises awareness of inequality with reference to the digital dived, and describes the humanitarian goal of localisation. We introduce some not-for-profit organisations and describe the Rosetta Foundation as one example of how to address the digital divide and the problem of information poverty ignored by current mainstream administration efforts.

description: This paper concentrates on the representation of the legal relations that obtain between parties once they have entered a contractual agreement and their evolution as the agreement progresses through time. Contracts are regarded as process and they are analysed in terms of the obligations that are active at various points during their life span. An informal notation is introduced that summarizes conveniently the states of an agreement as it evolves over time. Such a representation enables us to determine what the status of an agreement is, given an event or a sequence of events that concern the performance of actions by the agents involved. This is useful both in the context of contract drafting (where parties might wish to preview how their agreement might evolve) and in the context of contract performance monitoring (where parties might with to establish what their legal positions are once their agreement is in force). The discussion is based on an example that illustrates some typical patterns of contractual obligations.

description: Reduction in carbon dioxide emissions constitutes a global public good; and hence there will be strong incentives for countries to free ride in the provision of CO2 emission reductions. In the absence of more or less binding international agreements, we would expect carbon emissions to be seriously excessive, and climate change problems to be unsolvable. Against this obvious general point, we observe many countries acting unilaterally to introduce carbon emission policies. That is itself an explanatory puzzle, and a source of possible hope. Both aspects are matters of ‘how politics works’ – i.e. ‘public choice’ problems are central. The object of this paper is to explain the phenomenon of unilateral policy action and to evaluate the grounds for ‘hope’. One aspect of the explanation lies in the construction of policy instruments that redistribute strategically in favour of relevant interests. Another is the ‘expressive’ nature of voting and the expressive value of environmental concerns. Both elements – elite interests and popular (expressive) opinion – are quasi-constraints on politically viable policy. However, the nature of expressive concerns is such that significant reductions in real GDP are probably not sustainable in the long term – which suggests that much of the CO2 reduction action will be limited to modest reductions of a largely token character. In that sense, the grounds for hope are, although not non-existent, decidedly thin.

Ao longo da pesquisa, traçou-se a historicidade da penalidade, abordando as discussões do Senado que, desde 1851 reivindicavam a abolição da escravidão e o fim da pena de morte. Fatos concretizados com a Lei Áurea de 1888 e com o Código Penal de 1890, o primeiro da República. Entretanto, mais de quarenta anos depois, a pena de morte volta a vigorar na Ditadura do Estado Novo de Vargas através da Emenda Constitucional nº1 de 1938, acrescida a Constituição de 1937. A motivação da volta da pena máxima não ocorre por interesse social mas sim pela tentativa de golpe contra Getúlio Vargas realizada por alguns Integralistas.[...]

description: A study on future large accelerators [1] has considered a facility, which is designed, built and operated by a worldwide collaboration of equal partner institutions, and which is remote from most of these institutions. The full range of operation was considered including commi-ssioning, machine development, maintenance, trouble shooting and repair. Experience from existing accele-rators confirms that most of these activities are already performed 'remotely'. The large high-energy physics ex-periments and astronomy projects, already involve inter-national collaborations of distant institutions. Based on this experience, the prospects for a machine operated remotely from far sites are encouraging. Experts from each laboratory would remain at their home institution but continue to participate in the operation of the machine after construction. Experts are required to be on site only during initial commissioning and for par-ticularly difficult problems. Repairs require an on-site non-expert maintenance crew. Most of the interventions can be made without an expert and many of the rest resolved with remote assistance. There appears to be no technical obstacle to controlling an accelerator from a distance. The major challenge is to solve the complex management and communication problems.

In order to investigate the conversion decisions of Dutch arable farms, a discrete stochastic dynamic utility-efficient programming (DUEP) model is developed with special attention for yield and price risk of conventional, conversion and organic crops. The model maximizes the expected utility of the farmer depending on the farmer’s risk attitude. The DUEP model is an extension of a dynamic linear programming model that maximized the labour income of conversion from conventional to organic farming over a 10 year planning horizon. The DUEP model was used to model a typical farm for the central clay region in the Netherlands. The results show that for a risk-neutral farmer it is optimal to convert to organic farming. However, for a more risk-averse farmer it is only optimal to fully convert if policy incentives are applied such as taxes on pesticides or subsidies on conversion, or if the market for the organic products becomes more stable.

description: We have studied the effective response of composites of spherical particles each having a dielectric profile which varies along the radius of the particles. We developed a first-principles approach to compute the dipole moment of the individual spherical particle and hence the effective dielectric response of a dilute suspension. The approach has been applied to two model dielectric profiles, for which exact solutions are available. Moreover, we used the exact results to validate the results from the differential effective dipole approximation, recently developed to treat graded spherical particles of an arbitrary dielectric profile. Excellent agreement between the two approaches were obtained. While the focus of this work has been on dielectric responses, the approach is equally applicable to analogous systems such as the conductivity and elastic problems.

description: Light sterile neutrinos with a mass around 1 eV have been studied for many years as a possible explanation of the so called short-baseline neutrino oscillation anomalies. Recently, several neutrino oscillation experiments reported preferences for non-zero values of the mixing angles and squared mass differences for active-sterile mixing, which however are not always in agreement. I review our current knowledge of the light sterile neutrino in the 3+1 model, starting with a separate discussion on the status of the most relevant searches and then analyzing the problems that arise when combining different probes in a global fit. A short summary on the tension with cosmological observations is also provided.

description: The efficiency of production from a farm’s land, labour and capital is critically dependent on the ability of the farm manager. Yet, while there are studies correlating a wide range of manager-related variables with returns, and, therefore, probably ability, little understanding of the basic determinants of managerial ability exists. Questions such as ‘what is the importance of a farmer’s family experiences and training in determining the farmer’s managerial ability?’ need answering. The solution to this, and other, questions will enable determining ways of improving farmers’ inherent ability developed both in early, and later, life. In that most decisions on a farm are made intuitively, in contrast to the use of a formal analysis, improving farmers’ inherent ability will have a significant payoff. The research reported here uses data from a large stratified random survey of 740 developed farmers (29 per centhadtertiary education,30per centhad4ormoreyears secondary education) to create a structural equation model of the determinants of managerial ability. The results suggest that a farmer’s exposure to experiences is a significant factor in ability, as is the farmer’s management style and the family influence on early life experience.

Inflationary Phenomenology of Einstein Gauss-Bonnet Gravity Compatible with GW170817

description: In this work we shall study Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theories and we investigate when these can have their gravitational wave speed equal to the speed of light, which is unity in natural units, thus becoming compatible with the striking event GW170817. We demonstrate how this is possible and we show that if the scalar coupling to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant is constrained to satisfy a differential equation, the gravitational wave speed becomes equal to one. Accordingly, we investigate the inflationary phenomenology of the resulting restricted Einstein Gauss-Bonnet model, by assuming that the slow-roll conditions hold true. As we demonstrate, the compatibility with the observational data coming from the Planck 2018 collaboration, can be achieved, even for a power-law potential. We restricted ourselves to the study of the power-law potential, due to the lack of analyticity, however more realistic potentials can be used, in this case though the calculations are not easy to be performed analytically. We also pointed out that a string-corrected extension of the Einstein Gauss-Bonnet model we studied, containing terms of the form $\sim ξ(ϕ) G^{ab}\partial_aϕ\partial_b ϕ$ can also provide a theory with gravity waves speed $c_T^2=1$ in natural units, if the function $ξ(ϕ)$ is appropriately constrained, however in the absence of the Gauss-Bonnet term $\sim ξ(ϕ) \mathcal{G}$ the gravity waves speed can never be $c_T^2=1$. Finally, we discuss which extensions of the above models can provide interesting cosmologies, since any combination of $f(R,X,ϕ)$ gravities with the above string-corrected Einstein Gauss-Bonnet models can yield $c_T^2=1$, with $X=\frac{1}{2}\partial_μϕ\partial^μϕ$.

Graze-and-Merge Collisions under External Perturbers

description: Graze-and-merge collisions (GMCs) are common multi-step mergers occurring in low-velocity off-axis impacts between similar sized planetary bodies. The first impact happens at somewhat faster than the mutual escape velocity; for typical impact angles this does not result in immediate accretion, but the smaller body is slowed down so that it loops back around and collides again, ultimately accreting. The scenario changes in the presence of a third major body, i.e. planets accreting around a star, or satellites around a planet. We find that when the loop-back orbit remains inside roughly 1/3 of the Hill radius from the target, then the overall process is not strongly affected. As the loop-back orbit increases in radius, the return velocity and angle of the second collision become increasingly random, with no record of the first collision's orientation. When the loop-back orbit gets to about 3/4 of the Hill radius, the path of smaller body is disturbed up to the point that it will usually escape the target.

description: This article evaluates irrigated agriculture sector response and resultant economic impacts of climate change for a part of the Murray Darling Basin in Australia. A water balance model is used to predict reduced basin inflows for mild, moderate and severe climate change scenarios involving 1, 2 and 4 C warming, and predict 13, 38 and 63% reduced inflows. Impact on irrigated agricultural production and profitability are estimated with a mathematical programming model using a two-stage approach that simultaneously estimates short and long-run adjustments. The model accounts for a range of adaptive responses including: deficit irrigation, temporarily following of some areas, permanently reducing the irrigated area and changing the mix of crops. The results suggest that relatively low cost adaptation strategies are available for a moderate reduction in water availability and thus costs of such a reduction are likely to be relatively small. In more severe climate change scenarios greater costs are estimated. Adaptations predicted include a reduction in total area irrigated and investments in efficient irrigation. A shift away from perennial to annual crops is also predicted as the latter can be managed more profitably when water allocations in some years are very low.
