description: This is the third in a series of papers describing wave-follower observations of the aerodynamic coupling between wind and waves on a large shallow lake during the Australian Shallow Water Experiment (AUSWEX). It focuses on the long-standing problem of the aerodynamic consequences of wave breaking on the wind-wave coupling. Direct field measurements are reported of the influence of wave breaking on the wave-induced pressure in the airflow over water waves, and hence the energy flux to the waves. The level of forcing, measured by the ratio of wind speed to the speed of the dominant (spectral peak) waves, covered the range of 3-7. The propagation speeds of the dominant waves were limited by the water depth and the waves were correspondingly steep. These measurements allowed an assessment of the magnitude of any breaking-induced enhancement operative for these field conditions and provided a basis for parameterizing the effect. Overall, appreciable levels of wave breaking occurred for the strong wind forcing conditions that prevailed during the observational period. Associated with these breaking wave events, a significant phase shift is observed in the local wave-coherent surface pressure. This produced an enhanced wave-coherent energy flux from the wind to the waves with a mean value of 2 times the corresponding energy flux to the nonbreaking waves. It is proposed that the breaking-induced enhancement of the wind input to the waves can be parameterized by the sum of the nonbreaking input and the contribution due to the breaking probability.

description: Pieter van der Merwe, Derek B. Scott, and Norbert Linke have all written about the freedom with which nineteenth-century composers—especially those writing music for social dance and repertoires influenced by social dance—treated the upper tetrachord of the major key, an essential factor in the history of extended tertian chords and more generally in the history of still more complex harmonies. Examples total about 60; theirs and most of mine come from the 19th century waltz repertoire.

description: Abstract— As science and technology have progressed, the computing power available to solve problems has increased. In the last 100 years mankind has gone from manned space flight to sequencing the genomes of humans and other species. One area where science has just begun to look is the complex interactions of all living organisms on the planet. Global Biotic Interactions
(GloBI) has taken on the task of aggregating and organizing the various datasets containing these interactions. GloBI also makes the data publicly available. The goal of this project, the client capstone of Indiana University’s Information Visualization MOOC, was to create an informative, effective and engaging visualization for the data provided by GloBI. GloBI Explorer utilizes an interactive card-based interface to view taxon interactions. A particular taxon’s network can then be analyzed using a columnar, hierarchical tree. A map-based, bipartite graph details geographic interactions for two selected taxons. GloBI Explorer will be deployed as a tool to help middle school and high school students learn about ecology and biology. A live version of GloBI Explorer is deployed on GitHub Pages

description: Capsule Clutch initiation date decreased with longitude, clutch size increased with latitude and decreased with maximum temperature, whereas the number of fledglings increased both with latitude and longitude, and decreased with maximum temperature in 19 European studies of the Great Reed Warbler. Our study confirmed previous findings about the increasing trend in clutch size with latitude, but also found earlier clutch initiation dates and higher number of fledglings longitudinally from west to east, with precipitation closely associated with clutch initiation date and maximum temperature closely associated with the number of fledglings.

description: Developments in production, sharing and use of spatial data and information involve revisiting the role and scope of cartography. Cartography is a core discipline for spatially modelling, investigating and mapping natural and cultural environments, developing location-aware applications, establishing spatial data infrastructures and forming spatially enabled societies. In this context, spatial data handling provides key tools for creating spatial databases, integrating spatial data, producing geographic information and maps and so on. Although cartography plays a key role in many phases of such activities, it tends to be introduced only as visualization phase of spatial data handling. On the other hand, it is sometimes regarded to encompass entire phases of spatial data handling. So this article investigates the relationships between cartography and spatial data handling, management and use, and on this basis, proposes a modern and comprehensive framework for cartography to contribute to restoring the full conceptual breadth of the discipline.

description: The reactions between [Ni(O2CR)(triphos)]+ (R = Et or Ph, triphos = PhP(CH2CH2PPh2)2) and mixtures of lutH+ and lut (lut = 2,6-dimethylpyridine) have been studied in MeCN at 25.0 °C using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The kinetics and spectroscopic changes indicate an equilibrium reaction, presumably involving protonation of an oxygen site (the only sites on the complex containing lone pairs of electrons). Proton transfer is slow and comparison of the kinetic data shows that the rates are insensitive to the R substituent. Using the kinetic data, the pKas of [Ni(HO2CR)(triphos)]2+ (pKa = 14.5) have been calculated showing that when coordinated to the {Ni(triphos)}2+ site, RCO2H is about 8 pKa units more acidic than the free acid. Comparison of the kinetic results on the reactions of [Ni(O2CR)(triphos)]+ with mixtures of lutH+ and lut and those of the analogous [Ni(S2CR)(triphos)]+ show that protonation at oxygen is at least 7.6 × 103 times faster than to sulfur, and the coordinated carboxylic acid is ca. 8 pKa units less acidic than the corresponding coordinated carboxydithioic acid.

Agile practices in software development - Experiences from student projects
Creators: name: Schneider, Jean-Guy

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: To address the problems of traditional software development methodologies, recent years have seen the introduction of more light-weight or 'agile' development processes. These processes are intended to support early and quick production of working code by structuring the development into small release cycles and focus on continual interaction between developers and customers. As these kinds of software development processes are becoming more and more popular in industry, there is a growing demand to expose Software Engineering students to agile development practices. This, however, is not a straightforward task as the corresponding practices cannot be adjusted easily to a learning environment or may even run counter to educational goals. In this paper, we discuss our experiences in introducing agile practices in student software development projects and reflect on both the benefits and drawbacks of agile processes in this setting.
The short internalized homonegativity scale: Examination of the factorial structure of a new measure of internalized homophobia

description: The purpose of the study was to develop a short measure of internalized homophobia (IH), one that reflected contemporary attitudes toward homosexuality and included items designed to assess the domain of sexual comfort with gay men, a domain that has been notably absent from other measures of IH. The Short Internalized Homonegativity Scale (SIHS) was informed by the Reactions to Homosexuality Scale (RHS) and the contention that currently available measures of IH were outdated in their assessment of the construct and/or failed to assess its covert manifestations. A geographically diverse sample of gay men completed an online questionnaire (N = 1,307), and the 677 respondents from the United States formed the sample for the study. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a single higher order construct of IH comprising the lower order factors of Public Identification as Gay, Sexual Comfort With Gay Men, and Social Comfort With Gay Men.

description: A facile green recipe was developed to synthesise highly pure, safe and durable zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO Nps) using homemade starch-rich potato extract. The ZnO Nps were synthesised using zinc nitrate and potato extract, and the whole reaction is carried out for 30 min at 80 °C. In the synthesis, starch-rich potato extract acted as the reducing agent and as a stabilising layer on freshly formed ZnO Nps. Hexagonal (wurtzite) shaped ZnO Nps with size about 20 ± 1.2 nm were synthesised and characterised using X-ray diffraction, transition electron microscope and scanning microscopy analyses. Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis indicated that highly pure ZnO nanopowders were obtained at higher temperatures. The use of environmentally benign and renewable material as the respective reducing and protecting agents, starch-rich potato extract, as well as a gentle solvent medium (H2O), offered a simple and quite efficient procedure for the synthesis of ZnO Nps in neutral medium with promising potential for biological and biomedical applications.

description: Echoing the work of Oakes and Rossi (2003) and based on the Social Theory (Coleman, 1988), this study examines the mechanisms of socioeconomic status (SES) and investigates the function of Social Theory in explaining SES as a function of “capital”. For this study, 1,055 students between the ages of 15-17 years from 21 national schools in Kuala Lumpur participated in the questionnaire survey. The findings from the study reveals that there is a correlation between the conventional measures of SES and social capital, human capital and material capital, thus serves as a useful measure of SES for adolescent population.
CRITICISM OF DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION BY MUSLIM SCHOLARS

Year: 2015
Subjects: Religious Studies

description: The Theory of Evolution is a major principle of modern biology. The theory was initiated by Charles Darwin in 1859, and has been criticized from various aspects by scholars from the West and the East. The principle of this theory is based on materialism and this ideology also influenced some Muslims’ thought. At the same time, it could also affect the social belief system of Muslims. This article will briefly review the background of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and analyze major criticisms of the theory by Muslim scholars from the religious, scientific, and philosophical perspectives. This article will highlight the main issues in the criticisms of Muslims scholars on the Theory of Evolution, and discuss the weaknesses of the theory from the point of view of Muslim scholars. The method used in this paper is primarily qualitative, with the data and arguments obtained from textual analysis.

description: A snapshot mosquito field survey was conducted in the Republic of Ireland in April-May 2017 and 2018 (for the VectorNet project) to provide mosquito distribution data as there is a dearth of recent data available for that region. The occurrence data obtained serve as a baseline for a preliminary public and veterinary health risk assessment and to promote further targeted vector surveillance. Morphological identification was complemented by genetic analyses to determine the species identity of members of the Anopheles Maculipennis Complex and the Culex Pipiens Assemblage. A total of 52 samples, including 50 immature aquatic samples and 2 adult catches, were collected from 72 locations inspected and distributed over 30 of the 34 vice counties across the country. Seventeen mosquito taxa were collected, and here we provide the first records of Aedes geminus, Anopheles daciae and Culex torrentium for the Republic of Ireland. We also confirm the occurrence of both Anopheles algeriensis and Culiseta alaskaensis which have only been found once before in Ireland.

description: AbstractArcuate line hernias are a rare type of hernia with limited publications regarding their successful repair. The arcuate line is the inferior limit of the posterior leaf of the rectus sheath. An arcuate line hernia is a type of intraparietal hernia, meaning it is not a truly complete fascial defect of the abdominal and, therefore, may present with atypical symptoms. Although published data on arcuate line hernia repairs are limited to a handful of case reports and one literature review, reports regarding robotic repair are exceptionally rare. This case report is the second documented robotic approach to arcuate line hernias known to these authors.

description: Abstract Background: Genome assembly remains an unsolved problem. Assembly projects face a range of hurdles that confound assembly. Thus a variety of tools and approaches are needed to improve draft genomes. Results: We used a custom assembly workflow to optimize consensus genome map assembly, resulting in an assembly equal to the estimated length of the Tribolium castaneum genome and with an N50 of more than 1 Mb. We used this map for super scaffolding the T. castaneum sequence assembly, more than tripling its N50 with the program Stitch. Conclusions: In this article we present software that leverages consensus genome maps assembled from extremely long single molecule maps to increase the contiguity of sequence assemblies. We report the results of applying these tools to validate and improve a 7x Sanger draft of the T. castaneum genome. Keywords: Genome map; BioNano; Genome scaffolding; Genome validation; Genome finishing

description: In a recent paper, the Lefschetz number for endomorphisms (modulo trace class operators) of sequences of trace class curvature was introduced. We show that this is a well defined, canonical extension of the classical Lefschetz number and establish the homotopy invariance of this number. Moreover, we apply the results to show that the Lefschetz fixed point formula holds for geometric quasiendomorphisms of elliptic quasicomplexes.

title: The political use of knowledge in the policy process
Creators: name: Daviter, Falk
Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2020

description: The role of knowledge in the policy process remains a central theoretical puzzle in policy analysis and political science. This article argues that an important yet missing piece of this puzzle is the systematic exploration of the political use of policy knowledge. While much of the recent debate has focused on the question of how the substantive use of knowledge can improve the quality of policy choices, our understanding of the political use of knowledge and its effects in the policy process has remained deficient in key respects. A revised conceptualization of the political use of knowledge is introduced that emphasizes how conflicting knowledge can be used to contest given structures of policy authority. This allows the analysis to differentiate between knowledge creep and knowledge shifts as two distinct types of knowledge effects in the policy process. While knowledge creep is associated with incremental policy change within existing policy structures, knowledge shifts are linked to more fundamental policy change in situations when the structures of policy authority undergo some level of transformation. The article concludes by identifying characteristics of the administrative structure of policy systems or sectors that make knowledge shifts more or less likely.

Creators: name: Stolle, Claudia

Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2020

description: Low Earth orbiting geomagnetic satellite missions, such as the Swarm satellite mission, are the only means to monitor and investigate ionospheric currents on a global scale and to make in situ measurements of F region currents. High-precision geomagnetic satellite missions are also able to detect ionospheric currents during quiet-time geomagnetic conditions that only have few nanotesla amplitudes in the magnetic field. An efficient method to isolate the ionospheric signals from satellite magnetic field measurements has been the use of residuals between the observations and predictions from empirical geomagnetic models for other geomagnetic sources, such as the core and lithospheric field or signals from the quiet-time magnetospheric currents. This study aims at highlighting the importance of high-resolution magnetic field models that are able to predict the lithospheric field and that consider the quiet-time magnetosphere for reliably isolating signatures from ionospheric currents during geomagnetically quiet times. The effects on the detection of ionospheric currents arising from neglecting the lithospheric and magnetospheric sources are discussed on the example of four Swarm orbits during very quiet times. The respective orbits show a broad range of typical scenarios, such as strong and weak ionospheric signal (during day- and nighttime, respectively) superimposed over strong and weak lithospheric signals. If predictions from the lithosphere or magnetosphere are not properly considered, the amplitude of the ionospheric currents, such as the midlatitude Sq currents or the equatorial electrojet (EEJ), is modulated by 10–15 % in the examples shown. An analysis from several orbits above the African sector, where the lithospheric field is significant, showed that the peak value of the signatures of the EEJ is in error by 5 % in average when lithospheric contributions are not considered, which is in the range of uncertainties of present empirical models of the EEJ.

description: A sensitive glucose biosensor was developed based on the adsorption of glucose oxidase by a three-dimensional silver-graphene-titanium dioxide (3D Ag-GR-TiO2) composite electrode. Aerosol spray pyrolysis was employed to synthesize the 3D Ag-GR-TiO2 composite using a colloidal mixture of a silver acetate precursor (C2H3AgO2), graphene oxide, and TiO2 nanoparticles. The effects of the operating temperature, gas flowrate, and TiO2 concentration on the particle properties were investigated. The particle morphology of all 3D Ag-GR-TiO2 composites was spherical in shape. The average sizes of composites could be controlled from 0.45 to 0.64 μm with the variation of process variables. Ag nanoparticles less than 10 nm in diameter were deposited on the surfaces of the TiO2 nanoparticles and GR after a reduction process. The characteristics of the glucose biosensor fabricated with the as-prepared 3D Ag-GR-TiO2 composite were assessed through cyclic voltammetry measurements. The biosensor exhibited a high current flow as well as clear redox peaks, resulting in a superior ability of the catalyst in terms of the electrochemical reactions. The highest sensitivity of glucose biosensor was obtained by 3D Ag-GR-TiO2 composite, which was 12.2 μA/mM·cm2, among 3D Ag-GR-TiO2, 3D Ag-GR, and 3D GR-TiO2 composites.Copyright 2015 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: The North Atlantic right whale (NARW) is an endangered species whose population is negatively impacted by entanglements in fishing gear. The goal of this project was to determine the characteristics of a rope for use in the vertical lines of lobster traps that would be safer for NARWs and effective for lobster fishing. To complete our goal, we conducted interviews with whale researchers and analyzed entanglement case studies. We then created a multivariable assessment tool to assess potential alternatives to current ropes used for lobster fishing. We then assessed seven alternatives to current ropes to display the tool’s effectiveness. The New England Aquarium sponsored this project and we recommend that they continue to use our multivariable assessment tool as well as conduct further research on rope alternatives.

description: A sensitive glucose biosensor was developed based on the adsorption of glucose oxidase by a three-dimensional (3D) silver (Ag)-graphene (GR)-titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite electrode. Aerosol spray pyrolysis (ASP) was employed to synthesize the 3D Ag-GR-TiO2 composite using a colloidal mixture of a silver acetate precursor (C2H3AgO2), graphene oxide (GO), and TiO2 nanoparticles. The effects of the operating temperature, gas flowrate and TiO2 concentration on the particle properties were investigated. The particle morphology of all 3D Ag-GR-TiO2 composites was spherical in shape. The average sizes of composites could be controlled from 0.45 to 0.64 μm with the variation of process variables.

description: Biopolymer nanocomposite of polylactic acid was synthesized from lactic acid using tin ions exchanged Cloisite Ca++. The tin molecules between the Cloisite Ca++ layers catalyzed the lactic acid polymerization and also this clay played a role as a nanofiller. Presence of tin molecules increased the molecular weight of the polymer compared with the polymer that was synthesized with the presence of just Cloisite Ca++. Both exfoliated and intercalated nanocomposite structures were observed as the results of X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy images. Also, changes of polymer's thermal degradation and other thermal properties such as glass transition temperature, melting temperatures were investigated via thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry.

Seasonal pco2 variations in fishing refuge zones in the coast of Mexico, based on satellite data
Creators: name: Cabrera Alfaro, Melissa Nohemi
Publisher: name: The University of Edinburgh
Year: 2024
Subjects: SST, pCO2, ocean

description: Oceans are an important and complex ecosystem; they act as a sink of atmospheric CO2 and provide fishing resources. Climate change and overfishing are changing the oceans dynamics, that’s why different conservation tools have been developed. In Mexico there are Fishing Refuge Zones to protect and conservate certain areas to try and repopulate and enhance the state of the areas. This research aims to understand the seasonal and special distribution of pco2 values in fishing refuge zones, 12 in the Coast of Quintana Roo, and 3 in the Coast of San Pedro Nolasco Island, Sonora for 2019 to 2021. Pco2 can be an indicator of oceans health and acidification, as well it is necessary variable to calculate the co2 uptake in the ocean. The poc2 values are estimated based on nonlinear equation where there’s a quadratic relation for pCO2 as function of Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Chlorophyll -a (Chl-a), Latitude and Longitude. The variables SST and Chl-a are obtained form satellite data, from Copernicus Climate Change Service, and the pco2 values to train and validate the model are form the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT). After the estimation of pco2, there’s an analysis to research for a relationship between pco2 seasonal values and the fish abundance, which is acquired from underwater census data, provided by COBI A.C.
