description: The existence of strange matter in compact stars may pose striking sequels of the various physical phenomena. As an alternative to neutron stars, a new class of compact stars called strange stars should exist if the strange matter hypothesis is true. In the present article, we investigate the possible construction of the strange stars in quark matter phases based on the MIT bag model. We consider scenarios in which strange stars have no crusts. Then we apply two types of equations of state to quantify the mass-radius diagram for static strange star models performing the numerical calculation to the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations in the context of $4D$ Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. It is worth noting that the GB term gives rise to a non-trivial contribution to the gravitational dynamics in the limit $D \to 4$. However, the claim that the resulting theory is of pure graviton was cast in doubt by several grounds. Thus, we begin our discussion with showing the regularized $4D$ EGB theory has an equivalent action as the novel $4D$ EGB in a spherically symmetric spacetime. We also study the effects of coupling constant $α$ on the physical properties of the constructed strange stars including the compactness and criterion of adiabatic stability. Finally, we compare our results to those obtained from the standard GR.

description: We revisit motility-induced phase separation in two models of active particles interacting by pairwise repulsion. We show that the resulting dense phase contains gas bubbles distributed algebraically up to a typically large cutoff scale. At large enough system size and/or global density, all the gas may be contained inside the bubbles, at which point the system is microphase-separated with a finite cut-off bubble scale. We observe that the ordering is anomalous, with different dynamics for the coarsening of the dense phase and of the gas bubbles. This phenomenology is reproduced by a "reduced bubble model" that implements the basic idea of reverse Ostwald ripening put forward in Tjhung et al. [Phys. Rev. X 8, 031080 (2018)].

description: This paper analyzes data from a telephone survey of 1,000 home-meal preparers from Alabama, North Carolina, and Tennessee. We evaluate the level of trust assigned by survey respondents to twelve sources used in gathering food safety information and provide guidance on effective ways of communicating food-safety information. Data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Health professionals, nutrition counselors, and food labels were highly trusted sources of food-safety information while the Internet, radio, and television were the least trusted.

description: We analyze the information an attacker can obtain on the numbers generated by a user by measurements on a subsystem of a system consisting of two entangled two-level systems. The attacker and the user make measurements on their respective subsystems, only. Already the knowledge of the density matrix of the subsystem of the user completely determines the upper bound on the information accessible to the attacker. We compare and contrast this information to the appropriate bounds provided by quantum state discrimination.

description: This study estimates U.S. demand for imported apple juice by exporting country. Given that China has emerged as the top supplier to the U.S., we focus on the impact of China on competing exporting countries. Results show that U.S. imports from Argentina, Chile, and the rest of the world (ROW) were significantly responsive to apple juice prices in China. U.S. imports from China were significantly responsive to prices in Argentina, Chile and the ROW as well; however, the responsiveness of imports from China to apple juice prices in these countries was relatively smaller than the responsiveness of imports from these countries to China’s price.

description: In this short paper, we prove that a Finsler manifold with vanishing Berwald scalar curvature has zero $\mathbf{E}$-curvature. As a consequence, Landsberg manifolds with vanishing Berwald scalar curvature are Berwald manifolds. This improves a previous result in \cite{Li}. For $(α,β)$-metrics on manifold of dimension greater than 2, if the mean Landsberg curvature and the Berwald scalar curvature both vanish, the Berwald curvature also vanishes.

description: Smallholder producers of fruits and vegetables in the Nanggung sub-district of West Java, Indonesia practice a multicropping system of agriculture on less than two acres of land. Agricultural practices in this area are still crude, with little or no inputs such as fertilization or modern irrigation. When water is available, the furrow irrigation system is used at best. Although banana is one of the income-generating crops, farmers grow it in combination with other fruits such as durian, mangosteen, rambutan, jackfruit, and with vegetables such as chili peppers, tomatoes, sweet corn, and green beans under non-intensive management. Although market-survey reports show that the demand for these fruits and vegetables is greater than the supply, the farmers not only have limited access to markets but produce inferior quality and limited quantity (Fonsah 2003). Due to these limitations, this study is aimed at developing new markets, creating new distribution systems and market channels, and seeks ways to improve those already existing.

description: Newly-translated glycoproteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) often undergo cycles of chaperone binding and release in order to assist in folding. Quality control is required to distinguish between proteins that have completed native folding, those that have yet to fold, and those that have misfolded. Using quantitative modeling, we explore how the design of the quality-control pathway modulates its efficiency. Our results show that an energy-consuming cyclic quality-control process, similar to the observed physiological system, outperforms alternative designs. The kinetic parameters that optimize the performance of this system drastically change with protein production levels, while remaining relatively insensitive to the protein folding rate. Adjusting only the degradation rate, while fixing other parameters, allows the pathway to adapt across a range of protein production levels, aligning with in vivo measurements that implicate the release of degradation-associated enzymes as a rapid-response system for perturbations in protein homeostasis. The quantitative models developed here elucidate design principles for effective glycoprotein quality control in the ER, improving our mechanistic understanding of a system crucial to maintaining cellular health.

description: We study the running of power spectra in inflationary cosmology as a renormalization-group flow from the de Sitter fixed point. The beta function is provided by the equations of the background metric. The spectra of the scalar and tensor fluctuations obey RG evolution equations with vanishing anomalous dimensions in the superhorizon limit. By organizing the perturbative expansion in terms of leading and subleading logs, we calculate the spectral indices, their runnings, the runnings of the runnings, etc., to the next-to-leading log order in quantum gravity with fakeons (i.e., the theory $R+R^{2}+C^{2}$ with the fakeon prescription/projection for $C^{2}$). We show that these quantities are related to the spectra in a universal way. We also compute the first correction to the relation $r=-8n_{T}$ and provide a number of quantum gravity predictions that can be hopefully tested in the forthcoming future.

description: Innovation adoption by small producers is key to promoting sustainable food systems in developing countries. However, some innovations require collective management and thus cooperation. Public Good Games (PGGs) are a well-established typology of experiments to assess willingness to cooperate. We ran PGGs among smallholders in Tanzania, Kenya, and Tunisia. In all the three countries, the decision was repeated twice, and in two the design was changed between rounds. In Tanzania, we alternated different multiplication factors, corresponding to Marginal Per Capita Returns to the public good of 0.2 and 0.15, respectively. In Kenya, we played one round with unequal (two levels) and one with equal endowment, keeping the same total endowment at group level. We find that individual contributions do not vary significantly depending on the rate of return unless smallholders face a lower rate in the second round, in which case the efficiency of cooperation declines. Opposite to our hypothesis, group-level contributions were higher with unequal endowment; however, less endowed players contributed less both in relative and absolute terms. We further control for round-order effects, finding that smallholders reduce their contribution if they have cooperated relatively more than their group members in the previous round, and for group size, which does not seem to affect cooperation. Our findings can help derive recommendations for the successful dissemination of collaborative innovations.

description: A mindenkori gazdaságpolitikának nagy szüksége van a mezőgazdasági folyamatok összetevőinek megismerésére, a hatások-ellenhatások múltbeli feltérképezésére ahhoz, hogy a jövő agrárstratégiáját már ezek figyelembevételével alakítsa ki. A vizsgálatok a múltbeli tendencia folytatásaként a búza, a kukorica vetésterületének csökkenését, illetve a napraforgó növekedését vetítik előre. A termésmennyiségek prognózisa azt mutatta, hogy a búza, a kukorica és a napraforgó esetében emelkedés várható, amit a hosszú távú ciklusok jövőben várható konjunktúrája még jobban fel fog erősíteni. Az állatállomány trendjének öt éves előrejelzése alapján kirajzolódott az a korántsem pozitív kép, hogy ha a múltbeli tendenciák tovább folytatódnak a sertés- és a szarvasmarha-állomány további csökkenésére, valamint a baromfiállomány mérsékelt ütemű növekedésére lehet számítani. A múltbeli ciklikus folyamatok folytatódását feltételezve az állatállomány ciklusára vár-hatóan konjunktúra lesz jellemző. Ez a szarvasmarha, a sertés csökkenő alapten-denciáját valószínűleg mérsékli, a baromfi-termelés növekedését pedig erősíti. - There is a great need for prevailing economic policy to know about the components of agricultural processes and to map past effects and counter-effects in order to develop future agricultural strategy taking these things into account. Continuing past trends, investigations project a reduction in the sown area of wheat and corn and an increase in that of sunflower. The prognosis of production quantity shows that an increase can be expected in the case of wheat, corn and sunflower, which will be further strengthened by the expected future boom in the long-term cycles. Based on a five-year forecast of livestock trends a far from positive picture presents itself, if past trends persist, of a continued reduction in pig and cattle population, while the poultry population can be expected to show a moderate rate of increase. Assuming a continuation of previous cyclical processes, the livestock cycle can be expected to be characterised by boom. This will probably mitigate the basic falling trend in cattle and pigs and will strengthen the growth of poultry production.

description: We reconsider the possible presence of charge and colour breaking minima in the scalar potential of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and its minimal generalization with R-parity explicitly broken by bilinear terms (RMSSM). First we generalize some results previously derived for the MSSM case. Next we investigate how robust is the MSSM against its RMSSM extension. We examine the constraints on the RMSSM parameter space that follow from the required absence of charge breaking minima in the scalar potential. We point out the possibility of generating non--zero vacuum expectation values for the charged Higgs field which is not present in the MSSM. However, given the smallness of neutrino masses indicated by neutrino oscillation data, we show that the RMSSM represents only a slight perturbation of the MSSM and is thus as safe (or unsafe) as the MSSM itself from unwanted minima in the scalar potential.

Sulphate salts affect water consumption : drinking behaviour and welfare of beef cattle
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Amanda Shilo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Sulphate (SO₄) salts are present in many rangeland water sources and can negatively affect animal welfare and production. Existing guidelines for SO₄ in cattle drinking water are based on Na₂SO₄ although many water sources contain higher MgSO₄ concentrations. This research examined the role that MgSO₄ plays in water consumption, drinking behaviour and health of beef cattle. In a series of three experiments, yearling beef cattle were given water containing a range of SO₄ levels (1 - 4806 ppm) as Na₂SO₄, MgSO₄ or K₂SO₄. In Experiment 1, water consumption by eight heifers given either tapwater or water containing Na₂SO₄, MgSO₄ or K₂SO₄ at a target concentration of 3000 ppm SO₄ was monitored in a 4x4 Latin Square with 7-d treatment periods. Experiment 2 used eight yearling heifers, watered with tapwater or water containing Na₂SO₄ or MgSO₄ at target concentrations of 1500, 3000 or 4500 ppm SO₄, in 2-d treatment periods separated by 2 d tapwater access. In Experiment 3, 16 yearling heifers and steers were given tapwater or water containing Na₂SO₄ at a target concentration of 2000 ppm SO₄ , or MgSO₄ at target concentrations of 2000 and 4000 ppm SO₄ in 21-d treatment periods separated by 7 d tapwater access. Both Na₂SO₄ and MgSO₄ showed a dose effect with a stronger negative response for MgSO₄ than Na₂SO₄ (P ≤ 0.01). Average daily water consumption did not vary (P ≥ 0.05) between tapwater and SO₄ salts at either 2000 or 3000 ppm SO₄, but declined significantly at and above 4000 ppm SO₄ (P ≤ 0.01). Variability in consumption between drinking events increased as MgSO₄ content rose, as did the number of refusals to drink (P ≤ 0.05). Percent fecal DM, tested after 7, 11 and 21 d on treatment, increased following 21 d of MgSO₄ consumption at approximately 4000 ppm SO₄ (P ≤ 0.05), but no effect was seen at lower SO₄ concentrations (for any salt) or over shorter durations (7 and 11 d). These findings indicate that cattle find MgSO₄ aversive and at sufficiently high concentrations or length of exposure, water consumption, drinking behaviour and physiological status are disrupted.

description: The scattering properties of quantum particles on fractal potentials at different stages of fractal growth are obtained by means of the transfer matrix method. This approach can be easily adopted for project assignments in introductory quantum mechanics for undergraduates. The reflection coefficients for both the fractal potential and the finite periodic potential are calculated and compared. It is shown that the reflection coefficient for the fractal has a self-similar structure associated with the fractal distribution of the potential.

description: This research delves into the linguistic and technological facets of the Afaan Oromo language,emphasizing its foundational elements, writing systems, and phonetic characteristics. The studyfurther extends to sentiment analysis through two main experiments: raw audio data analysis andtext-based analysis. These experiments are pivotal for understanding sentiment expression in AfaanOromo, combining linguistic insights with advanced deep learning techniques.The research methodology follows the Design Science Research Process (DSRP), addressingchallenges in sentiment analysis through a systematic approach. The study includes a comprehensivedataset comprising 1000 labeled audio samples and 7000 labeled text samples in Afaan Oromo. Twomain experiments are conducted, utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for audioprocessing and exploring pretrained models for text-based sentiment analysis.In the analysis of audio data, CNNs prove effective in capturing local patterns, achieving an accuracyof 90.41% and an F1 score of 90.59. Audio preprocessing methods, including spectrogram generationand data augmentation, contribute to the model's robustness. The text-based analysis, however, yieldsinsights into the challenges of transcription models, with performance influenced by both the modeland transcription accuracy.The findings underscore the importance of considering data nature and context in sentiment analysis,suggesting potential avenues for future research, such as hybrid models combining audio and textrepresentations for improved accuracy.

Towards reconciling the holographic and lattice descriptions of radially excited hadrons

description: Within the framework of AdS/QCD models, the spectra of radially excited hadrons are identified with towers of Kaluza-Klein (KK) states in a putative dual theory. The infinite number of KK states is indispensable to provide correct high energy asymptotics of correlation functions in QCD. It is known, however, that the KK modes of dual theory must be qualitatively different from real hadrons. And what is more important, the radially excited states appear in lattice calculations not as "excitations" of some ground state, but rather as independent states coupled to higher dimensional QCD operators - the larger is a basis of interpolating operators, the larger set of states can be resolved. A question arises whether it is possible to reconcile the holographic and lattice descriptions of radially excited hadrons? We propose a new phenomenological "consistency test" for bottom-up holographic models: If the KK spectrum of massive 5D fields corresponding to higher dimensional operators in QCD coincides with the conventional radial KK spectrum, then the holographic KK states can be identified with real excited mesons in the large-Nc limit of QCD - as in the lattice QCD, they become a superposition of several states interpolated by operators of different canonical dimensions. We demonstrate that the Soft Wall holographic model passes this test while the Hard Wall model does not.

A Possible Explanation for the Size Difference of Red and Blue Globular Clusters

description: Most observations of the projected half-light radii of metal-rich globular clusters in a variety of galaxies have shown them to be ~20% smaller than those of their metal-poor counterparts. We show using multi-mass isotropic Michie-King models that the combined effects of mass segregation and the dependence of main sequence lifetimes on metallicity can account for this difference, under the assumption that clusters with similar central potentials have the same distribution of half mass radii. If confirmed, this would represent a new constraint on theories of globular cluster formation and evolution.

description: A1 is an in-memory distributed database used by the Bing search engine to support complex queries over structured data. The key enablers for A1 are availability of cheap DRAM and high speed RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) networking in commodity hardware. A1 uses FaRM as its underlying storage layer and builds the graph abstraction and query engine on top. The combination of in-memory storage and RDMA access requires rethinking how data is allocated, organized and queried in a large distributed system. A single A1 cluster can store tens of billions of vertices and edges and support a throughput of 350+ million of vertex reads per second with end to end query latency in single digit milliseconds. In this paper we describe the A1 data model, RDMA optimized data structures and query execution.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The search for light and long-lived particles at the LHC will be intensified in the upcoming years with a prominent role of the new FASER experiment. In this study, we discuss how FASER could independently probe such scenarios relevant for new physics searches at kaon factories. We put an emphasis on the proposed explanations for the recently observed three anomalous events in the KOTO experiment. The baseline of FASER precisely corresponds to the proposed lifetime solution to the anomaly that avoids the NA62 bounds on charged kaons. As a result, the experiment can start constraining relevant models within the first few weeks of its operation. In some cases, it can confirm a possible discovery with up to 10000 spectacular high-energy events in FASER during LHC Run 3. Further complementarities between FASER and kaon factories, which employ FASER capability to study di-photon signatures, are illustrated for the model with axion-like particles dominantly coupled to $SU(2)_W$ gauge bosons.

Secure short-term load forecasting for smart grids with transformer-based federated learning
Creators: name: Sievers, J.
name: Blank, T.
Publisher: name: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Year: 2023

description: Electricity load forecasting is an essential task within smart grids to assist demand and supply balance. While advanced deep learning models require large amounts of high-resolution data for accurate short-term load predictions, fine-grained load profiles can expose users' electricity consumption behaviors, which raises privacy and security concerns. One solution to improve data privacy is federated learning, where models are trained locally on private data, and only the trained model parameters are merged and updated on a global server. Therefore, this paper presents a novel transformer-based deep learning approach with federated learning for short-term electricity load prediction. To evaluate our results, we benchmark our federated learning architecture against central and local learning and compare the performance of our model to long short-term memory models and convolutional neural networks. Our simulations are based on a dataset from a German university campus and show that transformer-based forecasting is a promising alternative to state-of-the-art models within federated learning.

description: The first inflationary model conceived was the one proposed by Starobinsky which includes an additional term quadratic in the Ricci-scalar R in the Einstein-Hilbert action. The model is now considered a target for several future cosmic microwave background experiments given its compatibility with current observational data. In this paper, we analyse the robustness of the Starobinsky inflation by inserting it into a generalized scenario based on a $β$-Starobinsky inflation potential, which is motivated through brane inflation. In the Einstein frame, the generalized model recovers the original model for $β=0$, whereas $\forall β\neq 0$ represents an extended class of models that admit a wider range of solutions. We investigate limits on $β$ from current cosmic microwave background and baryonic acoustic oscillation data and find that only a small deviation from the original scenario is allowed, $β=-0.08 \pm 0.12$ (68% C.L.), which is fully compatible with zero and confirms the robustness of the Starobinsky inflationary model in light of current observations.

description: Adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) returning to Exploits River to spawn encounter low concentrations (< 1%) of effluent as they migrate upstream. Laboratory experiments were designed to assess various endpoints of sublethal stress in adult Atlantic salmon acutely exposed to TMP mill effluent. Critical swimming speed (U[sub crit]) and hepatic EROD induction were determined following 12-hour exposure to 0, 6, 12, and 25% (v/v) TMP effluent. Additionally, the effects of 6-hour exposure to 0, 6, 12, and 25% (v/v) TMP effluent on cardiac output (Q), U[sub crit], hematocrit, blood glucose, and plasma Cortisol, lactate, and osmolality were examined. The same physiological endpoints were examined in another experiment in which fish were exposed to a gradually increasing concentration gradient of effluent (0-25% v/v) while swimming at a steady velocity. Relative to other treatment groups, Q during routine and low-level activity was 7-10% higher (p < 0.05) in fish exposed to 12%, 25%, and an increasing concentration gradient of effluent. Effluent concentrations up to 12% had no effect on U[sub crit], Q[sub scope], and Q[sub max]. However, at the 25% exposure concentration, U[sub crit] following 12-hour exposure was significantly depressed relative to control fish. Fish exposed to 25% effluent for 6 hours had a distinctly lower U[sub crit], Q[sub scope], and Q[sub max] than fish in other treatment groups, although these changes only approached statistical significance. These results suggest that fish responded to TMP effluent by reducing metabolically costly activities such as swimming to allow for increased maintenance and repair costs associated with effluent exposure. There were few noteworthy changes in any of the other endpoints examined. The findings of this study suggest that free-swimming adult Atlantic salmon in the Exploits River probably do not suffer from sublethal physiological stress as a result of exposure to TMP effluent in the river. Riverine effluent concentrations are approximately 1% and effluent levels as high as 12% and 25% were needed to cause physiological changes in the present study. This is the first study to illustrate that Q is a sensitive indicator of sublethal xenobiotic-induced stress and has potential for use as a biological monitoring tool.

description: Opportunistic networks (OppNets) are modern types of intermittently connected networks in which mobile users communicate with each other via their short-range devices to share data among interested observers. In this setting, humans are the main carriers of mobile devices. As such, this mobility can be exploited by retrieving inherent user habits, interests, and social features for the simulation and evaluation of various scenarios. Several research challenges concerning human mobility in OppNets have been explored in the literature recently. In this paper, we present a thorough survey of human mobility issues in three main groups (1) mobility characteristics, (2) mobility models and traces, and (3) mobility prediction techniques. Firstly, spatial, temporal, and connectivity properties of human motion are explored. Secondly, real mobility traces which have been captured using Bluetooth/Wi-Fi technologies or location-based social networks are summarized. Furthermore, simulation-based mobility models are categorized and state-of-the art articles in each category are highlighted. Thirdly, new human mobility prediction techniques which aim to forecast the three aspects of human mobility, i.e., users' next walks, stay duration and contact opportunities are studied comparatively. To conclude, some major open issues are outlined.

description: A SAPARD-ban, az AVOP-ban és az NVT-ben rendelkezésre álló források a magyar agrárium és a vidéki gazdaság szerkezet-átalakításának, modernizálásá-nak megkezdését szolgálták, a szükséges változások megvalósításához viszont szerények voltak. A három program tapasztalatai azt mutatják, hogy a fejlesztési források felhasználásával kapcsolatos korábbi kételyek nem igazolódtak, a be-adott pályázatok, támogatási kérelmek forrásigénye esetenként jelentősen meg-haladta az előirányzott pénzügyi keretet. A fő célkitűzések, prioritások jórészt teljesültek, de néhány intézkedés megvalósulásában módosítást igénylő arányta-lanságok is jelentkeztek. Több szerző mást-mást emel ki a hazai mezőgazdaság problémái közül. Ab-ban egyet lehet érteni, hogy a mezőgazdaság elsődlegesen árutermelő szerepe egyre inkább háttérbe szorul, ahogy ezt a nemzetközi és hazai adatsorok is mu-tatják. Ezzel párhuzamosan viszont előtérbe kerülnek olyan funkciók, mint a természeti erőforrásokkal való okszerű gazdálkodás, tájképmegőrzés és alterna-tív tevékenységek. Mindezt a vidékfejlesztési teendőkkel párhuzamosan kell megtenni, amihez a következő 7 évben az ÚMVP keretében a források biztosí-tottnak látszanak. - The resources available in SAPARD, the Agricultural and Regional Development Operative Programme (AVOP) and the National Regional Development Plan (NVT) served to initiate the structural transformation and modernisation of the Hungarian agricultural sector and the regional economy. These resources were modest, however, in comparison to the realisation of the necessary changes. The experiences of the three programmes show that earlier fears in respect of the utilisation of development resources were not borne out; occasionally the resource requirements of submitted applications and subsidy requests significantly exceeded the projected budget. The main goals and priorities were mostly achieved, although disproportion appeared in the realisation of some measures, requiring amendments. Various authors highlight different elements of Hungary’s agricultural problems. It can be agreed, however, that the primarily produce production role of agriculture is being increasingly overshadowed, as attested by both international and domestic data series. Alongside this, however, functions such as rational farming using natural resources, landscape conservation, and alternative activities are coming to the fore. All this needs to take place in parallel to regional development work, for which the funding appears to be secure for the next seven years within the framework of the New Hungary Regional Development Programme (ÚMVP).
Detection of large scale intrinsic ellipticity-density correlation from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and implications for weak lensing surveys

description: The power spectrum of weak lensing shear caused by large-scale structure is an emerging tool for precision cosmology, in particular for measuring the effects of dark energy on the growth of structure at low redshift. One potential source of systematic error is intrinsic alignments of ellipticities of neighbouring galaxies (II correlation) that could mimic the correlations due to lensing. A related possibility pointed out by Hirata and Seljak (2004) is correlation between the intrinsic ellipticities of galaxies and the density field responsible for gravitational lensing shear (GI correlation). We present constraints on both the II and GI correlations using 265 908 spectroscopic galaxies from the SDSS, and using galaxies as tracers of the mass in the case of the GI analysis. The availability of redshifts in the SDSS allows us to select galaxies at small radial separations, which both reduces noise in the intrinsic alignment measurement and suppresses galaxy- galaxy lensing (which otherwise swamps the GI correlation). While we find no detection of the II correlation, our results are nonetheless statistically consistent with recent detections found using the SuperCOSMOS survey. In contrast, we have a clear detection of GI correlation in galaxies brighter than L* that persists to the largest scales probed (60 Mpc/h) and with a sign predicted by theoretical models. This correlation could cause the existing lensing surveys at z~1 to underestimate the linear amplitude of fluctuations by as much as 20% depending on the source sample used, while for surveys at z~0.5 the underestimation may reach 30%.

De Descartes à Athikté: métamorphoses du sensible chez Valéry

description: In this contribution, we shall examine how Valéry leaves Descartes, and the paradigm of sight, in favor of the dancer Athiktè, typical of the paradigm of hearing and touch. If Descartes offers the pattern of an analytic mapping, that method reveals itself irrelevant to take into account what Valéry calls the C.E.M (Corps Esprit Monde). On the other side, a dancer, like Athiktè appears as the model of poiesis, showing the natura naturans in progress.

Polarization Signals of the 21 cm Background from the Era of Reionization

description: While emission and absorption lines of the 21 cm spin-flip transition of neutral Hydrogen are intrinsically unpolarized, a magnetic field creates left- and right-handed polarized components through the Zeeman effect. Here we consider the resulting polarization of the redshifted 21 cm background from the intergalactic medium before reionization. The polarization is detectable in regions with a strong gradient in the mean brightness temperature. In principle, this can open a new window on the evolution of intergalactic magnetic fields. One possible approach is an extended integration of an individual target during this era, such as the Mpc-scale HII regions inferred to surround quasars at z ~ 6.5. The differential intensity between the two polarization states can be used as a probe of the magnetic field at the edge of the HII region. We estimate that the SKA could (ignoring systematics) detect B \~ 200 (10) \muG coherent over several kiloparsecs with an observational bandwidth of 100 (2) kHz. Beyond individual sources, the statistical properties of wide-field 21 cm polarization maps, such as the angular power spectrum, can be used to constrain the large-scale magnetic field. In this case, the SKA can detect $B \sim 100 μ$G fields coherent over many megaparsecs. The magnetic field can be measured in any epoch over which the 21 cm background changes rapidly (for example because the ionized fraction or spin temperature change). Although the resulting constraints with SKA are relatively weak compared to theoretical expectations, they nevertheless offer a unique direct probe of magnetic fields in the high-redshift universe.

description: Az ökológiai gazdálkodás hazai terjedésével felértékelődnek a juhászat sajá-tosságaival foglalkozó kutatások. Az ágazaton belül a báránynevelés takarmá-nyozási kérdéseivel foglalkozó munkánk során – módszertani kérdések megoldá-sa mellett – a hatékonyság javítási lehetőségeit keressük. A kísérletek első éve azt mutatja, hogy az ökológiai gazdálkodásban a báránytakarmánnyal nem sikerült olyan hozamot és olyan naturális hatékonyságot produkálni, mint a konvencio-nális gazdálkodásban az évek során kialakult speciális báránytápokkal. Kísérle-teink alapján a takarmányozás hatékonyságának javításánál a hozamok szerepe kiemelkedő, mert csak a költségcsökkentés nem tűnik járható útnak. A gazdál-kodók számára új takarmányozási technológiák kidolgozása és a jelenlegi piaci akadályok elhárítása szintén megoldásra vár. - With the spread of ecological farming in Hungary, the value of research dealing with the idiosyncrasies of sheep-farming is growing. Within this branch, in the course of work on the question of feeding in lamb rearing – besides solving methodological questions – we are searching for opportunities to improve effectiveness. The first year of experiments showed a lack of success in ecological farming to produce the kind of profit and natural effectiveness achieved by conventional farming using special lamb feeds developed over the years. Based on our tests, the role of profit in the improvement of effectiveness is prominent, because expenditure reduction appears to be the only impossible option. For farmers both the development of new feed technologies and the averting of current market obstacles await solution.

description: In situ high-pressure energy dispersive x-ray diffraction experiments on polycrystalline powder TiN with NaCl-type structure have been conducted with the pressure up to 30.1 GPa by using the diamond anvil cell instrument with synchrotron radiation at room tempearture. The experimental results suggested that an isostructural phase transition might exist at about 7 GPa as revealed by the discontinuity of V/V0 with pressure.
