description: In recent decades, the concept of sustainability has become increasingly prominent in agricultural policy debates. This has led more and more stakeholders to pay attention to the questions of monitoring and evaluation of agricultural practices, and raised the question of appropriate indicators to assess sustainability aspects of given practices. We provide here a review of indicators of sustainability for agriculture. We describe sustainability indicators used in the literature following the typology based on the three sustainability pillars: environmental, economic and social. The literature review shows that the environmental pillar has undergone an ‘indicator explosion’, due to the multitude of themes covered and the attention given by society to this dimension of sustainability. By contrast, economic indicators target a relatively small number of themes. Social indicators typically cover two main themes: sustainability relating to the farming community and sustainability relating to society as a whole. The measurement of these social indicators is challenging as they are often qualitative and may therefore be considered subjective. Careful attention should be given to the choice of indicators, since the data measured will infl uence the calculation of that indicator and therefore the outcome of the analysis. It should fi rst be decided whether individual or composite indicators are preferable, and whether single indicators or a set of indicators should be used. Also, sustainability assessments should be validated, credible and reproducible. Several selection criteria are provided in the literature, such as representativeness, transferability, adaptability and measurability at an acceptable cost.

description: Gravitational waves provide a window to probe general relativity (GR) under extreme conditions. The recent observations of GW190412 and GW190814 are unique high-mass-ratio mergers that enable the observation of gravitational-wave harmonics beyond the dominant $(\ell, m) = (2, 2)$ mode. Using these events, we search for physics beyond GR by allowing the source parameters measured from the sub-dominant harmonics to deviate from that of the dominant mode. All results are consistent with GR. We constrain the chirp mass as measured by the $(\ell, m) = (3, 3)$ mode to be within $0_{-3}^{+5}\%$ of the dominant mode when we allow both the masses and spins of the sub-dominant modes to deviate. If we allow only the mass parameters to deviate, we constrain the chirp mass of the $(3, 3)$ mode to be within $\pm1\%$ of the expected value from GR.

description: We present HI observations of the compact high-velocity cloud HVC289+33+251 that was discovered by Putman et al. (2002). Observations with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope demonstrate that this cloud is still unresolved by the 9' beam of the Effelsberg telescope. The cloud shows a small line width of Delta v_FWHM = 4.9 km/s providing an upper limit to the kinetic temperature of the HI gas of T_k < 532 K. The total observed flux indicates an HI mass of M(HI) = 5.66 10^4 M_sun [d/150kpc]^2. Follow-up HI observations using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) resolve HVC289+33+251 into 5 condensations that are embedded in a common HI envelope. The HVC shows a faint tail, indicating an ongoing ram-pressure interaction with an ambient low-density medium. A FWHM diameter of theta = 4.4 arcmin makes this HVC the by far most compact HVC known till now. The observed parameters suggest that pressure stabilization by an ambient medium is rather unlikely. At a distance of 150 kpc, the virial mass is by a factor of 5.6 higher than the observed gas mass -- consistent with HVC289+33+251 being one of the "missing" dark matter mini halos that were predicted by cosmological LCDM simulations (e.g. Klypin et al. 1999; Moore et al. 1999). Comparable clouds in other groups of galaxies or even around the Milky Way are not detectable with the resolution and sensitivity of present surveys.

description: Increased attention for sustainability in agricultural production within the food sector has enhanced the need for farm-level information. This article aims to explore stakeholders’ perceptions of sustainability measurement at farm level in an established monitoring system. Qualitative research, including discussion groups and semi-structured interviews in nine European countries, identifi es existing divergences in perceptions, especially for those indicators not expected to be used for farm-level decision making. The perception of feasibility and usefulness of an indicator is determined by (a) indicators’ intrinsic attributes, (b) the measurement system in which it is inserted, (c) farm characteristics and (d) farmers’ attitudes toward the measurement. Identifying stakeholders’ perceptions could help to improve the discussion between researchers and users in the selection, communication and use of sustainability information along the agricultural sector.

description: Se evaluo un equipo de beneficiado ecologico de bajo consumo de agua (BECOLSUB), desarrollado por CENICAFE en Colombia, con el objetivo de controlar la contamination del agua y reducir los costos de los sistemas de disposition de los desperdicios del beneficiado. El equipo evaluado fue el DIN-2500-Z fabricado por INGESEC, con recomendacion de usarse con mas de 80.0% de cafe maduro. Debido a la escazes de mano de obra durante la cosecha, en ocasiones se presentan proporciones de uvas maduras menores del 80.0%. El equipo fue evaluado usando tres composiciones diferentes de cafe uva maduro: T1; 90.0%, T2; 75.0% y T3; 60.0%. El estudio se replied en 1998 y 1999. El tamano de la muestra fue de 308. 0 libras y se hicieron 3 repeticiones por tratamiento. El consumo medio de agua fue de 0.1545 galones por libra ( 1.305/ kg.) de cafe base pilado. Para determinar la eficiencia del procedimiento se tomo una muestra de 1.0 libra (0.45 kg.) de cafe lavado por repetition y se clasifico como grano bien procesado y otros. El grano bien procesado no podia estar roto, trillado o tener adherencias. Las medias de grano bien procesado por tratamiento fueron: T1; 88.96%, T2; 84.51% y T3; 71.75%. Solo el T3 del 1999 mostro un por ciento menor al 80.0% de grano bien procesado, este fue de 63.15%.

description: We report on simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the black hole candidate XTE J1650-500 during the course of its 2001-2002 outburst. The scheduling of the observations allowed us to sample the properties of XTE J1650-50 in different X-ray spectral states, namely the hard state, the steep power-law state and the thermal dominant state, according to the recent spectral classification of McClintock & Remillard. The hard state is consistent with a compact jet dominating the spectral energy distribution at radio frequencies; however, the current data suggest that its contribution as direct synchrotron emission at higher energies may not be significant. In that case, XTE J1650-50 may be dominated by Compton processes (either inverse Comptonization of thermal disk photons and/or SSC from the base of the compact jet) in the X-ray regime. We, surprisingly, detect a faint level of radio emission in the thermal dominant state that may be consistent with the emission of previously ejected material interacting with the interstellar medium, similar (but on a smaller angular scale) to what was observed in XTE J1550-564 by Corbel and co-workers. Based on the properties of radio emission in the steep power-law state of XTE J1650-50, and taking into account the behavior of other black hole candidates (namely GX 339-4, XTE J1550-564, and XTE J1859+226) while in the intermediate and steep power-law states, we are able to present a general pattern of behavior for the origin of radio emission in these two states that could be important for understanding the accretion-ejection coupling very close to the black hole event horizon.

description: Cuatro ensayos fueron realizados con el proposito de estudiar caracteristicas determinantes del manejo de los residuos de fermentation alcoholica de la melaza (RFAM), la aceptacion y la respuesta animal a su suplementacion en dietas de ovinos. Al RFAM fueron realizadas las pruebas del secado natural, de migration de nutrientes y de aceptabilidad en seis ovinos de ambos sexos. Para evaluar la respuesta animal, se utilizaron los datos de 80 ovinos machos. En ellos fueron evaluados el consumo de materia seca, la ganancia de peso vivo, la eficiencia alimenticia y el beneficio relativo. El RFAM mostro buena aceptabilidad por parte de los ovinos, limitantes para su conservation natural por la alta migration de los nutrientes, por lo que debe suministrarse separado de los demas componentes en forma fresca (humeda) y ganancias de peso en ovinos de hasta un 50% por encima de dietas a base de pastos. En dietas balanceadas para ovinos, la inclusion de RFAM no presento efectos negativos en cuanto a crecimiento y salud de los animales y pudo sustituir a la melaza hasta en un 66% y reducir los costos de la ration en un 30 a 60%.

title: Debris flows on Earth and Mars

description: This thesis explores the morphology of debris flows and their role in shaping planetary surfaces. The primary objective is to assess the scale of the present martian near-surface water budget by studying recent gullies visually similar to water-carved gullies on Earth. The potential involvement of debris flow in forming these gullies is important, because it implies the action of liquid water. To assess the role of debris flow in forming martian gullies requires a better understanding of debris flows on Earth. I first performed a detailed study of unconfined debris flows in NW Iceland and developed a model to predict their path and deposition thickness using only the morphology of the previous deposits. I used this model to define areas at risk from debris flow inundation. Secondly I have used quantitive geomorphological methods to study long profiles and digital elevation models and have successfully ascertained the geomorphic “fingerprint” of mass wasting, debris flow and pure water flow on Earth. Using these methods, I then confirmed that gullies on Mars contain the signature of debris flow. In addition, these investigations revealed a strong climatic signal in gully development. Laboratory simulation experiments showed that under present martian climate liquid water can not only survive for appreciable time-scales, but can perform significant geomorphic work. Freezing at the base of the flow not only decreases infiltration, but increases the runout of the flow. These results indicate that gullies are a product of the recent action of thaw of ice on Mars. I suggest that moderate orbital spin obliquity is required to form gullies (rather than high obliquity suggested previously), because this is consistent with their distribution, the time needed for their development, and their relative youth. Thus the surface of Mars has been wetter, more recently than previously thought.

description: Prediction of the stable crystal structure for multinary (ternary or higher) compounds with unexplored compositions demands fast and accurate evaluation of free energies in exploring the vast configurational space. The machine-learning potential such as the neural network potential (NNP) is poised to meet this requirement but a dearth of information on the crystal structure poses a challenge in choosing training sets. Herein we propose constructing the training set from densityfunctional-theory (DFT) based dynamical trajectories of liquid and quenched amorphous phases, which does not require any preceding information on material structures except for the chemical composition. To demonstrate suitability of the trained NNP in the crystal structure prediction, we compare NNP and DFT energies for Ba2AgSi3, Mg2SiO4, LiAlCl4, and InTe2O5F over experimental phases as well as low-energy crystal structures that are generated theoretically. For every material, we find strong correlations between DFT and NNP energies, ensuring that the NNPs can properly rank energies among low-energy crystalline structures. We also find that the evolutionary search using the NNPs can identify low-energy metastable phases more efficiently than the DFTbased approach. By proposing a way to developing reliable machine-learning potentials for the crystal structure prediction, this work will pave the way to identifying unexplored multinary phases efficiently.

Las leguminosas evaluadas fueron Neonotonia wightii, Samanea soman, Clitoria ternatea y Prosopis juliflora. Las mismas fueron incluidas en una proporcion de 60 gramos de la leguminosa mas 40 gramos de alimento concentrado en base a materia seca. En todos los casos el testigo fue alimento concentrado a voluntad. Se utilizo un diseflo completamente al azar con dos tratamientos % tres repeticiones. El engorde con alimento concentrado ad libitum mostro un mayor crecimiento y rendimiento que los alimentados con concentrado restringido y suplementacion con las leguminosas estudiadas ad libitum. Los resultados indican que las cuatro leguminosas evaluadas pueden ser utilizadas como suplementos en el engorde de conejos, dependiendo su uso de la disponibilidad en la zona de crianza. De las cuatro leguminosas estudiadas, solo las vainas de Samanea saiuan pueden sustituir al alimento concentrado sin detrimento del rendimiento en el engorde y al sacriftcio.

description: Although the critical Reynolds number for linear instability of the laminar flow in a straight pipe is infinite, we show that it is finite for a divergent pipe, and approaches infinity as the inverse of the divergence angle. The velocity profile at the threshold of inviscid stability is obtained. A non-parallel analysis yields linear instability at surprisingly low Reynolds numbers, of about 150 for a divergence of 3 degrees, which would suggest a role for such instabilities in the transition to turbulence. A multigrid Poisson equation solver is employed for the basic flow, and an extended eigenvalue method for the partial differential equations describing the stability.

description: The stationary Josephson current in a ballistic graphene system is theoretically studied with focus on a planar junction consisting of a monolayer graphene sheet on top of which a pair of superconducting electrodes is deposited. To characterize such a planar junction, we employ two parameters: the coupling strength between the graphene sheet and the superconducting electrodes, and a potential drop induced in the graphene sheet by direct contact with the electrodes. We derive a general formula for the Josephson current by taking these parameters into account in addition to other basic parameters, such as temperature and chemical potential. The resulting formula applies to a wide range of parameters and reproduces previously reported results in certain limits.

description: We report measurements of the lifetimes of the 3d $^2$D$_{5/2}$ and 3d $^2$D$_{3/2}$ metastable states of a single laser-cooled $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ion in a linear Paul trap. We introduce a new measurement technique based on high-efficiency quantum state detection after coherent excitation to the D$_{5/2}$ state or incoherent shelving in the D$_{3/2}$ state, and subsequent free, unperturbed spontaneous decay. The result for the natural lifetime of the D$_{5/2}$ state of 1168(9) ms agrees excellently with the most precise published value. The lifetime of the D$_{3/2}$ state is measured with a single ion for the first time and yields 1176(11) ms which improves the statistical uncertainty of previous results by a factor of four. We compare these experimental lifetimes to high-precision ab initio all order calculations and find a very good agreement. These calculations represent an excellent test of high-precision atomic theory and will serve as a benchmark for the study of parity nonconservation in Ba$^+$ which has similar atomic structure.

Havelock Ellis’ search for the sacred : sexology, spirituality and science in turn-of-the century Britain
Creators: name: Paul, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Havelock Ellis, the prolific sexologist and social reformer, was a key participant in what George Mosse has described as a shift from the clergyman to the scientist as the guardian of normality. And yet, analysis of Ellis' life (1859-1939) and work complicates the "priest to scientist" trajectory. Throughout his writing Ellis used the idea of the "sacred" to represent the sexual impulse, he borrowed the authority and respectability of priests for the new sexual scientist and the role of "saviour" for the eugenic project. In order to justify his claims he demonized women's sexuality and religious excess in new ways. For Ellis the sexual impulse could be understood as a potent, "sacred" force in all aspects of life; those women, especially nuns, who denied this reality were shown to be mentally, physically and spiritually degenerate. In his writing about masturbation, particularly Auto-Erotism and its appendix, "The Auto-erotic Factor in Religion," Ellis vilified women's sexuality as being more prone to perversion than men's and especially dangerous when these women did not conform with existing gender norms. This was partly a response to the growing popularity of sisterhoods during Ellis' lifetime. Ellis saw these women as obstacles to eugenic progress. Historians' assessment of Ellis as a solely secular theorist limits our understanding of how closely scientific, sexual and spiritual knowledge(s) were interwoven at the time. It is difficult to deal with religious belief and spiritual experience within the confines of a discipline which defines itself - in implicit opposition to the irrationality and subjectivity of religion - as "rational" and "objective." Analysis of Ellis' work provides an entry point into the complicated interactions between science and religion around issues of sexuality, gender and race. This analysis is crucial for understanding the conflicts arising around sex education in schools, gay rights, labels such as "terrorists," and responses to HIV/AIDS.

description: Many alloys made by Additive Manufacturing (AM) require careful design of post-heat treatment as an indispensable step of microstructure engineering to further enhance the performance. We developed a high-throughput approach by fabricating a long-bar sample heat-treated under a monitored gradient temperature zone for phase transformation study to accelerate the post-heat treatment development of AM alloys. This approach has been proven efficient in determining the aging temperature with peak hardness. We observed that the precipitation strengthening is predominant for the studied superalloy by laser powder bed fusion, and the grain size variation is insensitive on temperature between 605 and 825 Celcius. This new approach can be applied to post-heat treatment optimization of other materials made by AM, and further assist new alloy development.

description: Se realizo un ensayo en el Instituto Superior de Agricultura, Santiago R.D., con el objetivo de evaluar la inclusion de leguminosas forrajeras en la dieta de polios de engorde. La Clitoria ternatea y la Neonotonia wightii fueron incluidas en una proportion de 0,4, 8 y 12%. Se utilizo un diseno completamente al azar, con siete tratamientos con tres repeticiones. Los resultados mas interesante se obtuvieron con las hojas deshidratadas de Clitoria ternatea, las cuales no afectaron negativamente la respuesta animal en ninguno de los niveles estudiados. Por el contrario la Neonotonia wightii no es recomendado su uso.

description: The goal of group formation is to build a team to accomplish a specific task. Algorithms are employed to improve the effectiveness of the team so formed and the efficiency of the group selection process. However, there is concern that team formation algorithms could be biased against minorities due to the algorithms themselves or the data on which they are trained. Hence, it is essential to build fair team formation systems that incorporate demographic information into the process of building the group. Although there has been extensive work on modeling individuals expertise for expert recommendation and or team formation, there has been relatively little prior work on modeling demographics and incorporating demographics into the group formation process. We propose a novel method to represent experts demographic profiles based on multidimensional demographic features. Moreover, we introduce two diversity ranking algorithms that form a group by considering demographic features along with the minimum required skills. Unlike many ranking algorithms that consider one Boolean demographic feature (e.g., gender or race), our diversity ranking algorithms consider multiple multivalued demographic attributes simultaneously. We evaluate our proposed algorithms using a real dataset based on members of a computer science program committee. The result shows that our algorithms form a program committee that is more diverse with an acceptable loss in utility.

description: While alignment of texts on the sentential level is often seen as being too coarse, and word alignment as being too fine-grained, bi- or multilingual texts which are aligned on a level in-between are a useful resource for many purposes. Starting from a number of examples of non-literal translations, which tend to make alignment difficult, we describe an alignment model which copes with these cases by explicitly coding them. The model is based on predicate-argument structures and thus covers the middle ground between sentence and word alignment. The model is currently used in a recently initiated project of a parallel English-German treebank (FuSe), which can in principle be extended with additional languages.

description: Con el objetivo de evaluar la inclusion de 5 niveles de harina del fruto de la palma real se realizo el siguiente ensayo, utilizando polios de engorde. En el Instituto Superior de Agricultura, se han obtenido resultados promisorios utilizando este alimento. En este ensayo los mejores resultados se obhivieron con el nivel de 5% de harina de palma real, reflejandose asi en las tres etapas de desarrollo del polio. Durante el experimento se pudo observar que ha medida que se aumento el nivel de inclusion de harina de palma real el consumo voluntario aumento pero esto no se reflejo en la respuesta animal. Aunque tampoco no influyo en la mortalidad, la cual fue de 4.6%.
Two flavor color superconductivity in nonlocal chiral quark models

description: We study the competence between chiral symmetry restoration and two flavor color superconductivity (2SC) using a relativistic quark model with covariant nonlocal interactions. We consider two different nonlocal regulators: a Gaussian regulator and a Lorentzian regulator. We find that although the phase diagrams are qualitative similar to those obtained using models with local interactions, in our case the superconducting gaps at medium values of the chemical potential are larger. Consequently, we obtain that in that region the critical temperatures for the disappearance of the 2SC phase might be of the order of 100-120 MeV. We also find that for ratios of the quark-quark and quark-antiquark couplings somewhat above the standard value 3/4, the end point and triple point in the $T-μ$ phase diagram meet and a phase where both the chiral and diquark condensates are non-negligible appears.

description: We investigate the impact of extra leptons on observed tensions in the muon $g-2$ and the first-row CKM unitarity. By introducing a new SU(2)$_L$ doublet lepton and a SU(2)$_L$ triplet lepton, we find that both of the tensions can be explained simultaneously under constraints from electroweak precision observables and Higgs-boson decays. Our model could be tested by measurements of $h\toμμ$ at future collider experiments.

Large magnetoresistance in bcc Co/MgO/Co and FeCo/MgO/FeCo tunneling junctions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: By use of first-principles electronic structure calculations, we predict that the magnetoresistance of the bcc Co(100)/MgO(100)/bcc Co(100) and FeCo(100)/MgO(100)/FeCo(100) tunneling junctions can be several times larger than the very large magnetoresistance predicted for the Fe(100)/MgO(100)/Fe(100) system. The origin of this large magnetoresistance can be understood using simple physical arguments by considering the electrons at the Fermi energy travelling perpendicular to the interfaces. For the minority spins there is no state with $Δ_1$ symmetry whereas for the majority spins there is only a $Δ_1$ state. The $Δ_1$ state decays much more slowly than the other states within the MgO barrier. In the absence of scattering which breaks the conservation of momentum parallel to the interfaces, the electrons travelling perpendicular to the interfaces undergo total reflection if the moments of the electrodes are anti-parallel. These arguments apply equally well to systems with other well ordered tunnel barriers and for which the most slowly decaying complex energy band in the barrier has $Δ_1$ symmetry. Examples include systems with (100) layers constructed from Fe, bcc Co, or bcc FeCo electrodes and Ge, GaAs, or ZnSe barriers.

title: Developing digital historians in Italy
Creators: name: Favero, Claudia
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: This study concerns the experiences of Italian digital historians and their implications for historical scholarship. The present and future of the profession of historian, in academia and outside it, are inextricably linked to the digital revolution that is pervading society. How historians face the challenges and take advantage of the affordances of technology will have a strong impact on teaching and researching history in the future. However, the voice of digital historians on these issues does not emerge systematically from the literature. This research uses grounded theory methodology to delineate a theory of being a digital historian in Italy, a country with a rich historiographical tradition and widespread interest in history, but a weak connection with technology in scholarly endeavours. Based on in-depth interviews with digital historians, the analysis presented here highlights their initiatives, evaluations and strategies, in relation to all aspects of scholarship but particularly the education of future historians. This research is motivated and informed by my professional experience as lecturer in digital methodologies for historical research. The emerging theory revolves around the concept of developing digital history: Italian digital historians are pioneers, animated by passion and desire to innovate but working in a challenging, largely unsupportive environment where their initiatives have not translated well into educational provision for future digital historians or, more generally, to provide students with tools and methodology for historiography in the digital age. Through an illuminative comparison with interviews conducted with digital historians in the United Kingdom, differences and similarities are analysed, with a view to creating a general theory of being a digital historian and its implications for the future of scholarship in history.

description: A class of models with self-generated disorder and controlled frustration is studied. Between the trivial case, where frustration is not present at all, and the limit case, where frustration is present over every length scale, a region with local frustration is found where glassy dynamics appears. We suggest that in this region, the mean field model might undergo a p-spin like transition, and increasing the range of frustration, a crossover from a 1-step replica symmetry breaking to a continuous one might be observed.

description: Farms have the ability to creation of equity, but the level of private savings may be insufficient to keep the current or investment agricultural activity. It becomes necessary to use external sources of financing. Bank loans are the classic form of financing agricultural activities. This article aims to identify motives for the choice a credit offer by farmers from the region of the Middle Pomerania and analysis of relationships between selected motifs and the hallmarks of farmers. The study used secondary data sources and primary data obtained in the course of empirical studies. To achieve the objective analysis literary theme, statistical methods and a multidimensional analysis of correspondence was used. The analysis showed that farmers when choosing a bank loan first of all pay attention to the interest rate on the loan and the amount of fees and commissions.
