description: This case study investigates the entry, retention, and achievement of women in agricultural science in the Philippines. It is intended to help research managers and their organizations in developing countries meet the challenges of changing work-force characteristics. It was carried out in four public-sector institutes with a total of almost 300 scientists, 54% of whom are women. The study used survey data, interviews and discussions with 100 staff, and records from two universities. Women are replacing men who have left the public sector for career opportunities in the private sector. Family responsibilities are an important factor leading to retention of women in public-sector jobs, which offer stability, flexibility, and supportive policies. Although women constitute a majority of the workforce, they are underrepresented in top-level positions. Seniority and research output did not explain the discrepancy since men and women have comparable length-of-service and publication records. Data suggest that women’s careers are affected more than men’s by their status in dual-career families. Women cited delays in training, relocation to follow husbands, and lack of mobility as career constraints. Cultural stereotypes of men’s and women’s roles within the household continue to color and affect working relationships and appear to limit women’s opportunities for advancement into senior positions. We are likely to see increasing participation of women in research organizations in developing countries. Constraints to women’s career attainment may persist primarily due to cultural barriers. The study discusses management practices from the Philippines that can assist the effective incorporation of women into a scientific work force.

description: The last five years have seen growing challenges to the traditional paradigm of a core collapse supernova powered by the neutrino emission of a young proto-neutron star. Chief among these challenges are gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the supernovae that seem to accompany them. Here we review some recent - and not so recent - models for GRBs and supernovae in which strong magnetic fields, rotation, or accretion into a black hole play a role. The conditions for these energetic explosions are special and, at this point, there is no compelling reason to invoke them in the general case. That is, 99% of supernovae may still operate in the traditional fashion.

Classical sum rules and spin correlations in photoabsorption and photoproduction processes

description: In this paper we study the possibility of generalizing the classical photoabsorption ($γa \to b c$) sum rules, to processes $b c \to γa$ and crossed helicity amplitudes. In the first case, using detailed balance, the sum rule is written as $\int_{ν_{th}}^\infty {\frac{dν}ν} KΔσ_{Born} (ν)=0$ where $K$ is a kinematical constant which depends only on the mass of the particles and the center of mass energy. For other crossed helicity amplitudes, we show that there is a range of values of $s$ and $t$ for which the differential cross section for the process $γb \to a c$ or $a c \to γb$ in which the helicities of the photon and particle $a$ have specific values, is equal to the differential cross section for the process in which one of these two helicities is reversed (parallel-antiparallel spin correlation).

description: Cryptoxyleborus turbineus (Sampson)
 Xyleborus turbineus Sampson, 1923:288.
 Crytpoxyleborus turbineus (Sampson): Schedl, 1937:551.
Taxonomy: Wood and Bright (1992) state that the holotype female is in BMNH. Maiti and Saha (2004) cite a male ‘holotype’ in the Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun. Sampson (1923) did not state the sex of the beetles that he described, although the description evidently refers to a female, and he did not designate a holotype. It appears that there are syntypes in both U.K. and India, and that a lectotype will need to be designated. The syntype in BMNH has been examined. Maiti and Saha (2004) also indicate a female ‘cotype’ in NHMW, but there is no mention of this in Schedl’s (1979) catalogue of the types in his collection, and we believe that the authors are mistaken. The male was described by Maiti and Saha (2004).
Distribution: Northeastern India (Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal), Myanmar, Philippines (Mindanao), Thailand, Vietnam. This species has a more northerly and westerly distribution than most species in the genus, and has not been recorded from Malaysia or Indonesia. (The inclusion of Malaysia in the distribution by Maiti and Saha (2004) is incorrect.)
 Biology: Recorded from Pentacme suavis A. DC. and Shorea robusta Gaertn. (Dipterocarpaceae) by Beeson (1930), but there are no later host records.

The two-body systems are $NN$, $NΔ$, and $ΔΔ$, while the three-body systems are $NNN$, $NNΔ$, $NΔΔ$, and $ΔΔΔ$. We use as input the nonlocal $NN$, $NΔ$, and $ΔΔ$ potentials derived from the chiral quark cluster model by means of the resonating group method. We compare with previous results obtained from the local version based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.

description: We report on the energy, timing, and pulse-shape discrimination performance of cylindrical 5 cm diameter x 5 cm thick and 7 cm diameter x 7 cm thick {\it trans}-stilbene crystals read out with the passively summed output of three different commercial silicon photo-multiplier arrays. Our results indicate that using the summed output of an 8x8 array of SiPMs provides performance competitive with photo-multiplier tubes for many neutron imaging and correlated particle measurements: for the 5x5 cm crystal read out with SensL's ArrayJ-60035\_64P-PCB, which had the best overall properties, we measure the energy resolution as 13.6$\pm$1.8\% at 341 keVee, the timing resolution in the 100--400 keVee range as 277$\pm$34 ps, and the pulse-shape discrimination figure-of-merit as 2.21$\pm$0.03 in the 230--260 keVee energy range. These results enable many scintillator-based instruments to enjoy the size, robustness, and power benefits of silicon photo-multiplier arrays as replacement for the photo-multiplier tubes that are predominantly used today.

description: Insbesondere in kleinskaligen Kreislaufanlagen (rezirkulierende Aquakultursysteme, RAS), welche ein hohes Potenzial im Rahmen regionaler Vermarktungskonzepte unter Einbeziehung der Direktvermarktung und für Forschungseinrichtungen aufweisen, stellen Siebtrommelfilter Aufbereitungskomponenten im System dar, welche hohe Investitionen nach sich ziehen. Ziel des vorliegenden Vorhabens lag in der Weiterentwicklung und Eignungsprüfung von konstruktiv einfachen und kostengünstigen Komponenten zur Feststoffabscheidung in Kreislaufanlagen. Das entwickelte Verfahren kombiniert die Funktionsweise eines vertikal durchströmten Absetzbeckens durch Einbindung eines Fließbettes aus schwimmenden Füllkörpern mit den Vorteilen eines Lamellenabscheiders. Das Verfahren wurde sowohl für den durch einen hohen Schwebstoffanteil charakterisierten Auslauf des Denitrifikationsreaktors als auch für die Entfernung von Sedimenten in Form von Kot und Futterresten aus dem zirkulierenden Haltungswasserstrom dimensioniert und geprüft. Bei Verwendung eines 40 cm starken fluidisierten Lamellenpaketes aus 50 mm-Pall-Ringen war der entwickelte Abscheider bei einer hydraulischen Verweilzeit von 12 min hinsichtlich der Entnahme an abfiltrierbaren Substanzen (AFS) aus dem zirkulierenden Haltungswasserstrom (-23 % AFS) einem mit 60 µm Maschenweite bespannten Siebtrommelfilter (-14 % AFS) ebenbürtig und tendenziell überlegen. Entsprechende Abscheider bedürfen eines geringen Investitionsbedarfs, sind bei überschaubarem Wartungsaufwand einfach zu handhaben und wenig havarieanfällig. Sie erlauben die Gestaltung von Kreislaufanlagen mit geringer Leistungsaufnahme für die Rezirkulation des Haltungswassers und minimalem Frischwasserbedarf für die Schweb- und Feststoffentnahme. Die Anwendbarkeit in Kaltwassersystemen ist jedoch nicht gegeben, da hier die Bildung von Abwasserpilz selbst grob strukturierte fluidisierte Lamellenpakete zuzusetzen vermag.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been quite successful in solving many complex learning problems. However, DNNs tend to have a large number of learning parameters, leading to a large memory and computation requirement. In this paper, we propose a model compression framework for efficient training and inference of deep neural networks on embedded systems. Our framework provides data structures and kernels for OpenCL-based parallel forward and backward computation in a compressed form. In particular, our method learns sparse representations of parameters using $\ell_1$-based sparse coding while training, storing them in compressed sparse matrices. Unlike the previous works, our method does not require a pre-trained model as an input and therefore can be more versatile for different application environments. Even though the use of $\ell_1$-based sparse coding for model compression is not new, we show that it can be far more effective than previously reported when we use proximal point algorithms and the technique of debiasing. Our experiments show that our method can produce minimal learning models suitable for small embedded devices.

Trihennigma

description: Trihennigma gen. nov.
 Type species. Trihennigma zavattierii sp. nov.
 Differential diagnosis. Wing rather broad, with vestigial pterostigma and without spots at crossveins; long strong Sc ending just before R 2+3 bifurcation and possibly distal to M 1+2 bifurcation; postsectoral sc-r probably nearly level with R 5 origin; supernumerary crossveins r-rs, r3-r4, r4-r5 and r5-m1; R 2 longer than R 2+3, R 4 almost as long as half of wing, entering margin at wing tip; im not preserved, m-cu just before M 3+4 fork; M 4 curved backwards before apex; CuA section before m-cu twice as long as section beyond it; anal loop broad, subequal to 1A beyond it, the latter terminating at deep alular incision, anal lobe possibly produced.
 Species included. Monobasic.
 Etymology. From the Triassic period and the genus name Hennigma.
 Remarks. Combination of long R 2+3 fork, curved M 4 and broad anal loop has been known within the family only in the monobasic superfamily Kuperwoodiinae. The new genus resembles Metatrichopteridium and Daohennigma in the long Sc and extremely short M stem (the correspondingly long d cell is hypothesized), and the positions of R 4 (ending at wing tip) and m-cu (just before M 3+4 bifurcation). Such strong Sc, as well as 1A terminating at a deep alular incision, has been recorded in both species of Metatrichopteridium (basiala is not seen on the single specimen of Daohennigma); a similar set of supernumerary crossveins is known in Daohennigma. The wing under description is distinguishable from Daohennigma by the more distal position of unaligned r3-r4 and r4-r5, and the absence of spots on crossveins; in fact, these may be species-level differences.
 We agree with Ansorge (2001) that the subcostal veinlets mentioned in the original description of Hennigma are artifacts of preservation and are absent in the holotype of M. cladistorum, as well as in other hennigmatids (Figs 1, 5, 6). However, his redrawing of the wing base is incorrect (Ansorge 2001: Fig. 3c): cu-a is certainly preserved as it was shown in Shcherbakov et al. (1995: Fig. 33) and can be seen in Trihennigma gen. nov.; moreover, in both genera, 2A is not marginal and a small alula is visible in M. cladistorum and is likely to be present in the new genus (Figs 5, 6).

description: This study uses three waves of nationally representative household-level panel data from Malawi to estimate how receiving an additional kilogram of subsidize fertilizer affects maize production and the value of total crop output across the distribution of smallholder farm households. We use quantile regression and a correlated random effects estimator to deal with potential endogeneity of subsidized fertilizer. We then estimate the impact of subsidizing fertilizer at the 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% of the maize production and value of total crop output distributions. Results from this study indicate that an additional kilogram of subsidized fertilizer contributes 2.61 additional kilograms to household maize production at the 90th percentile, but just 0.75 additional kilograms to maize production at the 10th percentile. Results also indicate that an additional kilogram of subsidized fertilizer has an effect of generating an extra US $0.80 at the 90th percentile of the value of total crop output distribution, but has no statistically significant effect at the 10th percentile of the distribution. These results raise the question of whether or not fertilizer subsidies can substantially boost maize production and reduce poverty at the same time, because the major returns from the subsidy program seem to accrue to households at the top of the maize production and value of total crop output distributions. Many households at the bottom of theses distributions seem unable to generate a substantial response from the subsidized fertilizer that they acquire.

description: Fischpopulationen regulieren sich über drei wesentliche Prozesse: Wachstum, Rekrutierung und Sterblichkeit. All diese Raten sind dichte- und größenabhängig; sie werden also durch die Entnahme von Biomasse über die Fischerei oder durch Besatz in charakteristischer Weise verändert. Ein Resultat der dichteabhängigen Populationsregulation ist die Fähigkeit von Fischen, die Biomasseentnahme als Fischertrag in gewissen Grenzen zu kompensieren oder die Zugabe von Individuen über Besatz zu regulieren. Die Kenntnis ausgewählter populationsdynamischer Details ist daher für die Einschätzung der Wirkungsweise von Fischschonbestimmungen wie Mindestmaße oder Entnahmefenster und den Fischbesatz von entscheidender Bedeutung.

Durch die sich ständig ändernden Umwelteinflüsse ist vor allem der Schutz der lokalen genetischen Diversität essentiell. Die Fortschritte in der Wissenschaft in den letzten Jahren ermöglichen es heute, die genetische Diversität auch in größerem Umfang zu untersuchen. Mit Hilfe von Mikrosatelliten-Markern und etablierten morphometrischen Untersuchungen wurden in der vorliegenden Studie anhand von festgelegten Kriterien und drei Fallbeispielen die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen für den angewandten Artenschutz aufgezeigt. Der Strömer (Telestes souffia) bildete das Idealbild einer morphometrischen und genetischen Untersuchung ab. Es konnten klare Gruppen innerhalb der betrachteten Einzugsgebiete identifiziert werden, welche die Ableitung von wirksamen genetischen Bewirtschaftungseinheiten und die Entwicklung konkreter Schutzkonzepte ermöglicht. Das Beispiel Schlammpeitzger (Misgurnus fossilis) hingegen verdeutlicht die Probleme, die bei der Untersuchung von kleinen und genetisch wenig diversen Populationen auftreten können. Zudem konnten die morphometrischen Analysen darstellen, dass Geschlechtsdimorphismus und abiotische Faktoren einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf den Phänotyp haben können. Die Ergebnisse für das Bachneunauge (Lampetra planeri) wiederum gaben ein Beispiel, in dem die gewählte Methode nicht die gewünschten Resultate lieferte und die Analysen vertieft oder ein anderer genetischer Marker genutzt werden muss. Generell konnten im Rahmen der Untersuchungen wertvolle Erkenntnisse zur genetischen und morphometrischen Vielfalt bedrohter baden-württembergischer Fische und Neunaugen gewonnen werden.

description: Despite the fact that the solar neutrino flux is now well-understood in the context of matter-affected neutrino mixing, we find that it is not yet possible to set a strong and model-independent bound on solar neutrino decays. If neutrinos decay into truly invisible particles, the Earth-Sun baseline defines a lifetime limit of $τ/m \agt 10^{-4}$ s/eV. However, there are many possibilities which must be excluded before such a bound can be established. There is an obvious degeneracy between the neutrino lifetime and the mixing parameters. More generally, one must also allow the possibility of active daughter neutrinos and/or antineutrinos, which may partially conceal the characteristic features of decay. Many of the most exotic possibilities that presently complicate the extraction of a decay bound will be removed if the KamLAND reactor antineutrino experiment confirms the large-mixing angle solution to the solar neutrino problem and measures the mixing parameters precisely. Better experimental and theoretical constraints on the $^8$B neutrino flux will also play a key role, as will tighter bounds on absolute neutrino masses. Though the lifetime limit set by the solar flux is weak, it is still the strongest direct limit on non-radiative neutrino decay. Even so, there is no guarantee (by about eight orders of magnitude) that neutrinos from astrophysical sources such as a Galactic supernova or distant Active Galactic Nuclei will not decay.

description: Dropout is commonly used to help reduce overfitting in deep neural networks. Sparsity is a potentially important property of neural networks, but is not explicitly controlled by Dropout-based regularization. In this work, we propose Sparseout a simple and efficient variant of Dropout that can be used to control the sparsity of the activations in a neural network. We theoretically prove that Sparseout is equivalent to an $L_q$ penalty on the features of a generalized linear model and that Dropout is a special case of Sparseout for neural networks. We empirically demonstrate that Sparseout is computationally inexpensive and is able to control the desired level of sparsity in the activations. We evaluated Sparseout on image classification and language modelling tasks to see the effect of sparsity on these tasks. We found that sparsity of the activations is favorable for language modelling performance while image classification benefits from denser activations. Sparseout provides a way to investigate sparsity in state-of-the-art deep learning models. Source code for Sparseout could be found at \url{https://github.com/najeebkhan/sparseout}.

description: The hypernuclei $^4_Λ$He and $^4_Λ$H provide important information on the hyperon-nucleon interaction. We present accurate Faddeev-Yakubovsky calculations for the $Λ$ separation energies of the $0^+$ ground and the $1^+$ excited states based on the Nijmegen SC YN interactions. We explicitly take the $Σ$ admixture into account. Mass differences of the baryons and the charge-dependence of the interaction are considered. The results show that the Nijmegen models cannot predict all separation energies simultaneously hinting to failures of the current interaction models.

description: This paper provides a new way to improve the efficiency of the REINFORCE training process. We apply it to the task of instance selection in distant supervision. Modeling the instance selection in one bag as a sequential decision process, a reinforcement learning agent is trained to determine whether an instance is valuable or not and construct a new bag with less noisy instances. However unbiased methods, such as REINFORCE, could usually take much time to train. This paper adopts posterior regularization (PR) to integrate some domain-specific rules in instance selection using REINFORCE. As the experiment results show, this method remarkably improves the performance of the relation classifier trained on cleaned distant supervision dataset as well as the efficiency of the REINFORCE training.

description: This paper uses a double hurdle model to explore whether different methods of distributing fertilizer through groups in a targeted input subsidy program affects an intervention’s ability to increase farmer access to agricultural inputs. It uses a case study of Nigeria to demonstrate this. Farmer group membership was required for participating in a voucher program in Nigeria in 2009. However, for actual fertilizer distribution among participants, individual farmers were given their allotted share directly for one set of farmers while for the other set; the fertilizer was given indirectly through a group representative. Where fertilizer was given to a group representative for further distribution to members, respondents with close links to their farm group president received more bags of fertilizer than those without. Where fertilizer was given directly to farmers such results did not obtain. This differential outcome suggests that while groups may facilitate the process of farmer identification and coordination, intra group dynamics may affect their efficacy for providing equal access to inputs for members. A double hurdle model enables us to model the potentially separate processes that determine participation in the voucher program and one’s experience, upon deciding to participate. With intentions to adopt and scale up voucher programs in various food security and poverty alleviation programs across developing countries, it is important to understand the role that intra group dynamics play in the successful implementation of such programs.

description: Fische werden in Deutschland meist vom Fischzüchter zum Mastbetrieb, Verarbeitungsbetrieb oder zum Besatzgewässer transportiert. Die jahrzehntelange Erfahrung der Transporteure sorgt dabei in der Regel für einen tiergerechten Ablauf. Die genaue Entwicklung der Wasserparameter während eines Transportvorganges ist bisher allerdings nur unzureichend untersucht. Die vorliegende Studie zielte darauf ab, ein umfassendes Monitoring sämtlicher fischrelevanter Wasserparameter während einer repräsentativen Reihe von Lebendfischtransporten durchzuführen.
Im Zuge mehrerer kommerzieller Transportfahrten von Regenbogenforellen wurden Messreihen mit zeitlich hoher Auflösung durchgeführt. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass einzelne Wasserparameter sich weit über die gängigen Richtwerte hinaus anreicherten. Während sich Kohlendioxid beim unbelüfteten Transport in einer annähernd exponentiellen Sättigungsfunktion akkumulierte und Höchstwerte von bis zu 80 mg/l erreichte, stieg die Ammoniumkonzentration gleichzeitig linear bis auf Werte von 5 mg/l an. Sauerstoff war stark übersättigt, der Gesamtgasdruck insgesamt deutlich unterhalb der Sättigung. Der pH-Wert sank mit steigender CO2-Konzentration kontinuierlich und verlangsamte somit den Anstieg von Ammoniak.
In belüfteten Transporten stellte sich das Bild anders dar: Hier wurde durch einen Onboard-Kompressor gezielt atmosphärische Luft zugeführt und sämtliche Messungen unter ansonsten gleichen Bedingungen wiederholt. Im Ergebnis reduzierte sich die finale CO2-Konzentration im Transportbehälter um 50 mg/l auf unter 20 mg/l, während der Verlauf der Sauerstoffsättigung gleichmäßiger ausfiel. Die finale Ammoniakkonzentration war aufgrund des weniger stark abnehmenden pH-Werts allerdings mehr als dreimal so hoch.
Eine Analyse von physiologischen Stressparametern ergab kein eindeutiges Bild bezüglich der Unterschiede zwischen den Transportvarianten und zeigte insgesamt für das Tierwohl unkritische Werte. Allgemein lässt sich die Empfehlung ableiten, die Intensität der Belüftung an die jeweilige Situation anzupassen, wie etwa die Ausgangsparameter des genutzten Transportwassers oder idealerweise gesteuert über Online-Monitoring von pH und Gasparametern.

description: We show that the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) implies a nontrivial upper bound on the volumes of the minimal-volume cycles in certain homology classes that admit no calibrated representatives. In compactification of type IIB string theory on an orientifold $X$ of a Calabi-Yau threefold, we consider a homology class $[Σ] \in H_4(X,\mathbb{Z})$ represented by a union $Σ_{\cup}$ of holomorphic and antiholomorphic cycles. The instanton form of the WGC applied to the axion charge $[Σ]$ implies an upper bound on the action of a non-BPS Euclidean D3-brane wrapping the minimal-volume representative $Σ_{\mathrm{min}}$ of $[Σ]$. We give an explicit example of an orientifold $X$ of a hypersurface in a toric variety, and a hyperplane $\mathcal{H} \subset H_4(X,\mathbb{Z})$, such that for any $[Σ] \in H$ that satisfies the WGC, the minimal volume obeys $\mathrm{Vol}(Σ_{\mathrm{min}}) \ll \mathrm{Vol}(Σ_{\cup})$: the holomorphic and antiholomorphic components recombine to form a much smaller cycle. In particular, the sub-Lattice WGC applied to $X$ implies large recombination, no matter how sparse the sublattice. Non-BPS instantons wrapping $Σ_{\mathrm{min}}$ are then more important than would be predicted from a study of BPS instantons wrapping the separate components of $Σ_{\cup}$. Our analysis hinges on a novel computation of effective divisors in $X$ that are not inherited from effective divisors of the toric variety.

description: This paper reviews and integrates findings from existing empirical studies and case studies received from 35 organizations in various countries to identify demand- and supply-side constraints and opportunities in access, adoption and impact of technological innovations. This review consistently finds that women have much slower observed rates of adoption of a wide range of technologies than men; and these are mainly due to differentiated access to complementary inputs and services. There are limited studies that looked at upstream stages including priority-setting and innovation processes, in which women continue to be underrepresented.
