description: A key challenge for reinforcement learning is solving long-horizon planning problems. Recent work has leveraged programs to guide reinforcement learning in these settings. However, these approaches impose a high manual burden on the user since they must provide a guiding program for every new task. Partially observed environments further complicate the programming task because the program must implement a strategy that correctly, and ideally optimally, handles every possible configuration of the hidden regions of the environment. We propose a new approach, model predictive program synthesis (MPPS), that uses program synthesis to automatically generate the guiding programs. It trains a generative model to predict the unobserved portions of the world, and then synthesizes a program based on samples from this model in a way that is robust to its uncertainty. In our experiments, we show that our approach significantly outperforms non-program-guided approaches on a set of challenging benchmarks, including a 2D Minecraft-inspired environment where the agent must complete a complex sequence of subtasks to achieve its goal, and achieves a similar performance as using handcrafted programs to guide the agent. Our results demonstrate that our approach can obtain the benefits of program-guided reinforcement learning without requiring the user to provide a new guiding program for every new task.

description: We present an analysis of NICMOS photometry and low-resolution grism spectroscopy of low-mass stars and sub-stellar objects in the young star-forming region NGC 1333. Our goal is to constrain the ratio of low-mass stars to sub- stellar objects down to 20 Mjup in the cluster as well as constrain the cluster IMF down to 30 Mjup in combination with a previous survey of NGC 1333 by Wilking et al. Our survey covers 4 fields of 51.2" x 51.2", centered on brown dwarf candidates previously identified in Wilking et al. We extend previous work based on the use of a water vapor index for spectral typing to wavelengths accessible with NICMOS on the HST. Spectral types were derived for the 14 brightest objects in our fields, ranging from 0.25 - 0.02 Msun. In addition to the spectra, we present an analysis of the color-magnitude diagram using pre-main sequence evolutionary models of D'Antona & Mazzitelli. Using an extinction-limited sample, we derive the ratio of low-mass stars to brown dwarfs. Comparisons of the observed ratio to that expected from the field IMF of Chabrier indicate that the two results are consistent. We combine our data with that of Wilking et al. to compute the ratio of intermediate-mass stars (0.1 - 1.0 Msun) to low-mass objects (0.03 - 0.1 Msun) in the cluster. We also report the discovery of a faint companion to the previously confirmed brown dwarf ASR 28, as well as a possible outflow surrounding ASR 16. If the faint companion is confirmed as a cluster member, it would have a mass of ~ 5 Mjup (mass ratio 0.15) at a projected distance of 350 AU, similar to 2MASS 1207-3923 B.

Carbon and nitrogen pools and development of alkali extractable organic matter over time, in hog manure solids composted in-vessel
Creators: name: Smith, Susan Lois
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In three separate experiments, separated hog manure solids and hemlock sawdust were composted in-vessel for a period of 46 to 55 days. The effects of temperature and aeration on monitored carbon and nitrogen pools were examined. Composting temperatures were monitored throughout and samples were taken periodically in order to study carbon and nitrogen pools in humus fractions (humic acid (HA) and fractions of fulvic acid (FA)); in overall compost fractions (polysaccharides, total carbon and nitrogen); and in the water-soluble phase (water-soluble carbon). This was done in order to examine how these nutrient pools were affected by the frequency of aeration; and to obtain information on the processes involved in the development of the alkaline extract over time. For experiments 1 and 2, a bucket-scale apparatus was used for composting. In experiment 3 smaller scale apparatus and controlled temperature waterbaths were employed. For experiments 1 and 2, the effects of aeration were examined on hog manure solids composted with hemlock sawdust for 51 to 55 days in 90 litre buckets. Aeration was carried out by mixing the compost with a metal auger attached to a hand-held drill. The aeration treatments varied in intensity from once every 14 days to once every 2 to 3 days. In the third experiment, composting of separated hog manure solids and hemlock sawdust was carried out using smaller 2 litre vessels submerged in controlled temperature waterbaths, with mixing occurring by shaking manually every other day throughout. Over a period of 46 days, the effects of high and low temperatures on carbon and nitrogen pools and the development of the alkaline extract were examined. Significant increases in utilization of FA carbon (CF), carbohydrate-rich FA carbon (Ca) and the ratio of carbon to nitrogen in carbohydrate-rich FA carbon (C/Nca) were noted under aeration treatment 'A3'. This was the only aeration treatment in the bucket-scale composting to impact the metabolically accelerated thermophilic phase, increasing the oxygen content and optimizing the environment for FA carbon degraders. Overall, in terms of C/N ratios, the most consistent trends were found in the carbohydrate-rich component of FA (FAca). With the exception of experiment 3-' low temperature' compost, C/Nc3 values decreased over time as a result of decreasing Ca. Due to design flaws in the bench-scale waterbath compost system, it was not possible to control moisture loss, making it difficult to definitely attribute chemical changes to the influence of controlled temperatures. Regardless of temperature, utilization of total polysaccharides was substantially lower in bench-scale controlled temperature waterbath composting. This suggests that the activity of organisms which degrade complex carbohydrates may be negatively influenced by the homogeneous environment characteristic of controlled temperature composting.

description: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open the mHz frequency window of the gravitational wave (GW) landscape. Among all the new GW sources expected to emit in this frequency band, extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) constitute a unique laboratory for astrophysics and fundamental physics. Here we show that EMRIs can also be used to extract relevant cosmological information, complementary to both electromagnetic (EM) and other GW observations. By using the loudest EMRIs (SNR$>$100) detected by LISA as dark standard sirens, statistically matching their sky localisation region with mock galaxy catalogs, we find that constraints on $H_0$ can reach $\sim$1.1% ($\sim$3.6%) accuracy, at the 90% credible level, in our best (worst) case scenario. By considering a dynamical dark energy (DE) cosmological model, with $Λ$CDM parameters fixed by other observations, we further show that in our best (worst) case scenario $\sim$5.9% ($\sim$12.3%) relative uncertainties at the 90% credible level can be obtained on $w_0$, the DE equation of state parameter. Besides being relevant in their own right, EMRI measurements will be affected by different systematics compared to both EM and ground-based GW observations. Cross validation with complementary cosmological measurements will therefore be of paramount importance, especially if convincing evidence of physics beyond $Λ$CDM emerges from future observations.

description: The reaction $ pp\to pp\bf ω$ was investigated with the TOF spectrometer, which is an external experiment at the accelerator COSY (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany). Total as well as differential cross sections were determined at an excess energy of $93 MeV$ ($p_{beam}=2950 MeV/c$). Using the total cross section of $(9.0\pm 0.7 \pm1.1) μb$ for the reaction $ pp\to ppω$ determined here and existing data for the reaction $pp\to pp\bf ϕ$, the ratio $\mathcal{R}_{ϕ/ω}=σ_ϕ/σ_ω$ turns out to be significantly larger than expected by the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule. The uncertainty of this ratio is considerably smaller than in previous determinations. The differential distributions show that the $ω$ production is still dominated by S-wave production at this excess energy, however higher partial waves clearly contribute. A comparison of the measured angular distributions for $ω$ production to published distributions for $ϕ$ production at $83 MeV$ shows that the data are consistent with an identical production mechanism for both vector mesons.
Altering growth rates and nutritional qualities of microalgal feedstock with symbiotic bacteria
Creators: name: Kelly, Stephen M.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015

description: The cultivation of microalgae has many commercial purposes; it is integral in the farming of marine animals such as finfish, shrimp, and bivalves through its use as feedstock, and it has potential for use in renewable energy sources as a biofuel. Pink pigmented facultatively methylotrophic bacteria (PPFM) are known to live symbiotically on plants, feeding off  of metabolic wastes and producing growth regulators and nutrients vital for plant development. These bacteria have also been isolated from algae and water samples. One strain of vitamin B12 over-producing PPFM has been previously isolated by our lab, and past research has indicated that co-culturing microalgae with PPFM can increase algal growth rates. Our research investigated the possibility of altering the growth rates and nutritional qualities of microalgae through the use of PPFM by conducting algae growth experiments and nutritional analysis. Microalgal species commonly used as feedstock for industrial bivalve aquaculture were supplemented with vitamin B12 over-producing PPFM. A significant difference in growth between PPFM supplemented
and non-supplemented algal cultures was not seen consistently, while preliminary nutritional quality testing showed an increase in amino acid and lipid content for PPFM supplemented algal cultures over non-supplemented cultures.
Memory-cognizant generalization to Simon's random-copying neutral model

description: Simon's classical random-copying model, introduced in 1955, has garnered much attention for its ability, in spite of an apparent simplicity, to produce characteristics similar to those observed across the spectrum of complex systems. Through a discrete-time mechanism in which items are added to a sequence based upon rich-gets-richer dynamics, Simon demonstrated that the resulting size distributions of such sequences exhibit power-law tails. The simplicity of this model arises from the approach by which copying occurs uniformly over all previous elements in the sequence. Here we propose a generalization of this model which moves away from this uniform assumption, instead incorporating memory effects that allow the copying event to occur via an arbitrary age-dependent kernel. Through this approach we first demonstrate the potential to determine further information regarding the structure of sequences from the classical model before illustrating, via analytical study and numeric simulation, the flexibility offered by the arbitrary choice of memory. Furthermore we demonstrate how previously proposed memory-dependent models can be further studied as specific cases of the proposed framework.

description: We report a measurement of the branching fraction Br(Bs -> Ds(*) Ds(*)) using a data sample corresponding to 1.3 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 experiment in 2002-2006 during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. One Ds(*) meson was partially reconstructed in the decay Ds -> phi mu nu, and the other Ds(*) meson was identified using the decay Ds -> phi pi where no attempt was made to distinguish Ds and Ds* states. The resulting measurement is Br(Bs -> Ds(*) Ds(*)) = 0.039 +0.019 -0.017 (stat) +0.016 -0.015 (syst). This was subsequently used to estimate the width difference Delta Gamma^{CP}_s in the Bs-Bsbar system: Delta Gamma^{CP}_s / Gamma_s = 0.079 +0.038 -0.035 (stat) +0.031 -0.030 (syst).

description: We present a numerical study of settling and clustering of small inertial particles in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence. Particles are denser than the fluid, but not in the limit of being much heavier than the displaced fluid. At fixed Reynolds and Stokes numbers we vary the fluid-to-particle mass ratio and the gravitational acceleration. The effect of varying one or the other is similar but not quite the same. We report non-monotonic behavior of the particles' velocity skewness and kurtosis with the second parameter, and an associated anomalous behavior of the settling velocity when compared to the free-fall Stokes velocity, including loitering cases. Clustering increases for increasing gravitational acceleration, and for decreasing fluid-to-particle mass ratio.

description: Di-hadronic molecules such as di-meson, meson-baryon and di-baryon states are studied in the relativistic confinement model. We have computed the binding energy of the di-hadronic systems like $K-N$, $Π-N$, $ρ-N$ etc., as penta-quark states, 2$π$, $ρ-ρ$, $K-K^*$, $K^*-K^*$, $D-D^*$ etc. as tetra-quark states and $N-N$, $N-Δ$, $Δ-Δ$ etc. as di-baryonic states using a molecular interaction provided by asymptotic expression of the confined gluon exchange potential. We find the lowest penta-quark state lies in the energy range of 1.180 - 2.247 GeV as predicted by other theoretical models. The exotic states such as $f0 (0.982)$, $h1 (1.170)$, $f0 (1.70)$, $f2 (1.565)$, $f2 (1.95)$, $ψ(4.040)$ etc. are identified as the di-mesonic hadron molecules. The low-lying di-baryon molecular states found to be in the range of 1.990-2.907 GeV with their binding energies lying between 112-120 MeV.

description: ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ: Τα τελευταία χρόνια, η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και τα κράτη μέλη της, προσπάθησαν να προσφέρουν αξιόπιστες απαντήσεις στην οικονομική κρίση συχνά έξω από την έννομη τάξη της Ε.Ε. και με σημαντικές επιπτώσεις για τη θεσμική ισορροπία της, καθώς οι λύσεις που βρέθηκαν εγείρουν πολλά νομικά ζητήματα. Επιπλέον οι λύσεις αυτές είναι εμπνευσμένες από τη δομή της διακυβερνητικότητας αφού το κύριο όργανο που συνέβαλε στη διαδικασία αυτή, είναι το Ευρωπαϊκό Συμβούλιο. Η παρούσα εργασία πραγματεύεται τη σύσταση, λειτουργία, κριτική του πρόσφατου διακυβερνητικού οργανισμού δημοσίου διεθνούς δικαίου: του Ευρωπαϊκού Μηχανισμού Σταθερότητας. Αρχικά, επιχειρείται ανάλυση της αρχιτεκτονικής της ευρωζώνης και της ανάγκης που αναδύθηκε για δημιουργία νέων μηχανισμών με σκοπό την αντιμετώπιση των κενών που παρουσιάστηκαν με την χρηματοπιστωτική κρίση του 2007-2008. Εν συνεχεία, η εργασία θα επικεντρωθεί στους νέους μηχανισμούς που δημιουργήθηκαν, εξελίχθηκαν και εφαρμόστηκαν στα κράτη-μέλη της ευρωζώνης, έως σήμερα. Στο δεύτερο μέρος, θα εξεταστεί η στάση που τήρησε το Δικαστήριο της ΕΕ στους οικονομικούς θεσμούς της ευρωζώνης, με κυριότερη την απόφαση Pringle. Η κρίση συνεπώς στην ευρωζώνη έφερε στην επιφάνεια το δίλημμα της επιθυμητής μορφής της ΕΕ.: θα διατηρηθεί η ΕΕ ως έχει, δηλαδή ως μία διακυβερνητική συνεργασία ή θα πάρει έναν ομοσπονδιακό χαρακτήρα σε θέματα οικονομικής πολιτικής;
description: In recent years , the European Union and its Member States , tried to provide credible answers to the economic crisis often outside of the legal order of the EU with significant implications to the institutional balance because the solutions found raise many legal issues. Furthermore, these solutions are inspired by the structure of intergovernmentalism as the main institution contributed to this process, is the European Council. This master examines the establishment, operation, review of the recent intergovernmental organization under public international law: the European Stability Mechanism. Initially, an analysis of the architecture of the eurozone is attempted as well as the need arose for the establishment of the new mechanisms in order to cover the gaps presented by the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Thereafter, this master will focus on the new mechanisms that were created, developed and implemented in the Member States of the euro area to date. In the second part, the attitude of the ECJ in the economic institutions of the eurozone is presented, through the major decision of Pringle. Consequently, the crisis in the eurozone highlighted the dilemma of the desired form of the EU : the EU will remain as is, as an intergovernmental cooperation or will get a federal nature in matters of economic policy?

description: We present a quantum-like (QL) model in that contexts (complexes of e.g. mental, social, biological, economic or even political conditions) are represented by complex probability amplitudes. This approach gives the possibility to apply the mathematical quantum formalism to probabilities induced in any domain of science. In our model quantum randomness appears not as irreducible randomness (as it is commonly accepted in conventional quantum mechanics, e.g., by von Neumann and Dirac), but as a consequence of obtaining incomplete information about a system. We pay main attention to the QL description of processing of incomplete information. Our QL model can be useful in cognitive, social and political sciences as well as economics and artificial intelligence. In this paper we consider in a more detail one special application -- QL modeling of brain's functioning. The brain is modeled as a QL-computer.

description: Ranking models are the main components of information retrieval systems. Several approaches to ranking are based on traditional machine learning algorithms using a set of hand-crafted features. Recently, researchers have leveraged deep learning models in information retrieval. These models are trained end-to-end to extract features from the raw data for ranking tasks, so that they overcome the limitations of hand-crafted features. A variety of deep learning models have been proposed, and each model presents a set of neural network components to extract features that are used for ranking. In this paper, we compare the proposed models in the literature along different dimensions in order to understand the major contributions and limitations of each model. In our discussion of the literature, we analyze the promising neural components, and propose future research directions. We also show the analogy between document retrieval and other retrieval tasks where the items to be ranked are structured documents, answers, images and videos.

description: Die Entwicklung des ALPHA JET begann 1969 als deutsch-französisches Rüstungskooperationsprojekt zur Entwicklung eines gemeinsamen Schulflugzeugs. Dieses wurde in Deutschland Mitte der 70er Jahre zu einem leichten Jagdbomber umgewandelt. Ab 1979 wurde der ALPHA JET in die Luftwaffe eingeführt und ab 1980 als leichter Jagdbomber verwendet. Er sollte im vorderen Gefechtsfeld und in der Hubschrauberbekämpfung eingesetzt werden. Zusätzlich diente er als Schulflugzeug für zukünftige Tornadobesatzungen. Wegen der Restrukturierung der Bundeswehr, der bevorstehenden Einführung des Euro Fighters und der knappen Finanzen wurde das Flugzeug 1993 außer Dienst gestellt. Die französische Luftwaffe und befreundete Staaten fliegen den ALPHA JET noch heute. Über Details zum Flugzeug, dessen Einsatzspektrum und seine persönlichen Erfahrungen als Pilot der deutschen Luftwaffe berichtet OTL a.D. Rainer Stadelmann in seinem Vortrag.

description: Detecting, predicting, and alleviating traffic congestion are targeted at improving the level of service of the transportation network. With increasing access to larger datasets of higher resolution, the relevance of deep learning for such tasks is increasing. Several comprehensive survey papers in recent years have summarised the deep learning applications in the transportation domain. However, the system dynamics of the transportation network vary greatly between the non-congested state and the congested state -- thereby necessitating the need for a clear understanding of the challenges specific to congestion prediction. In this survey, we present the current state of deep learning applications in the tasks related to detection, prediction, and alleviation of congestion. Recurring and non-recurring congestion are discussed separately. Our survey leads us to uncover inherent challenges and gaps in the current state of research. Finally, we present some suggestions for future research directions as answers to the identified challenges.

description: The entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS) is numerically investigated statically and dynamically in a five-dimension AdS-Vaidya spacetime with Gauss-Bonnet (GB) corrections, focusing on two identical rectangular strips on the boundary. In the static case, EWCS increases as the GB coupling constant $α$ increases and disentangles at small separation between two strips for smaller $α$. For the dynamic case, such a monotonic relationship between EWCS and $α$ holds but the two strips no longer disentangle monotonically as in the static case. In the early thermal quenching stage, the disentanglement occurs at smaller $α$ with larger separations. Two strips then disentangle at larger {separation} with larger $α$ as time evolves. Our results indicate that the higher-order derivative corrections, like the entanglement measure in the dual boundary theory, also have nontrivial effects on the EWCS evolution.

Prefix Codes for Power Laws with Countable Support

subject: E.4; H.1.1; I.2.8

description: In prefix coding over an infinite alphabet, methods that consider specific distributions generally consider those that decline more quickly than a power law (e.g., Golomb coding). Particular power-law distributions, however, model many random variables encountered in practice. For such random variables, compression performance is judged via estimates of expected bits per input symbol. This correspondence introduces a family of prefix codes with an eye towards near-optimal coding of known distributions. Compression performance is precisely estimated for well-known probability distributions using these codes and using previously known prefix codes. One application of these near-optimal codes is an improved representation of rational numbers.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose discrete mappings of second order that have a discrete analogue of Lyapunov function. The mappings are extensions of the integrable Quispel-Roberts-Thompson (QRT) mapping, and a discrete Lyapunov function of the mappings is identical to an explicit conserved quantity of the QRT mapping. Moreover we can obtain a differential and an ultradiscrete limit of the mappings preserving the existence of Lyapunov function. We also give applications of a mapping with an adjusted parameter, a probabilistic mapping and coupled mappings.

description: Technical Debt is a metaphor used to describe the situation in which long-term software artifact quality is traded for short-term goals in software projects. In recent years, the concept of self-admitted technical debt (SATD) was proposed, which focuses on debt that is intentionally introduced and described by developers. Although prior work has made important observations about admitted technical debt in source code, little is known about SATD in build systems. In this paper, we set out to better understand the characteristics of SATD in build systems. To do so, through a qualitative analysis of 500 SATD comments in the Maven build system of 291 projects, we characterize SATD by location and rationale (reason and purpose). Our results show that limitations in tools and libraries, and complexities of dependency management are the most frequent causes, accounting for 50% and 24% of the comments. We also find that developers often document SATD as issues to be fixed later. As a first step towards the automatic detection of SATD rationale, we train classifiers to detect the two most frequently occurring reasons and the four most frequently occurring purposes of SATD in the content of comments in Maven build systems. The classifier performance is promising, achieving an F1-score of 0.71-0.79. Finally, within 16 identified 'ready-to-be-addressed' SATD instances, the three SATD submitted by pull requests and the five SATD submitted by issue reports were resolved after developers were made aware. Our work presents the first step towards understanding technical debt in build systems and opens up avenues for future work, such as tool support to track and manage SATD backlogs.
Time Dependent Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer Calculations For 3-Dimensional Supernova Spectra, Lightcurves, and Polarization

description: We discuss Monte-Carlo techniques for addressing the 3-dimensional time-dependent radiative transfer problem in rapidly expanding supernova atmospheres. The transfer code SEDONA has been developed to calculate the lightcurves, spectra, and polarization of aspherical supernova models. From the onset of free-expansion in the supernova ejecta, SEDONA solves the radiative transfer problem self-consistently, including a detailed treatment of gamma-ray transfer from radioactive decay and with a radiative equilibrium solution of the temperature structure. Line fluorescence processes can also be treated directly. No free parameters need be adjusted in the radiative transfer calculation, providing a direct link between multi-dimensional hydrodynamical explosion models and observations. We describe the computational techniques applied in SEDONA, and verify the code by comparison to existing calculations. We find that convergence of the Monte Carlo method is rapid and stable even for complicated multi-dimensional configurations. We also investigate the accuracy of a few commonly applied approximations in supernova transfer, namely the stationarity approximation and the two-level atom expansion opacity formalism.

description: Αντικείμενο της παρούσας εργασίας είναι ο πολλαπλασιασμός της R.canina τόσο με σπόρους όσο και με μοσχεύματα που συλλέχθηκαν από το Λαïλιά Σερρών. Στη συνέχεια πραγματοποιήθηκαν διάφορα πειράματα στις εγκαταστάσεις της Σχολής Δασολογίας και Φυσικού Περιβάλλοντος του Α.Π.Θ, για την εκτίμηση της φυτρωτικότητας των σπόρων της R.canina και της ριζοβολίας των μοσχευμάτων της. Σπόροι της R.canina, συλλέχθηκαν το Νοέμβριο του 2012 από το Λαïλιά Σερρών, και υπέστησαν διάφορους χειρισμούς με σκοπό τη βελτίωση της φυτρωτικότητας τους. Πραγματοποιήθηκαν πειράματα που περιλάμβαναν διαφορετικούς χειρισμούς ανά πειραματικό σχεδιασμό για τη μελέτη φυτρωτικότητας των αχαινίων της R.canina. Όσο αναφορά στα πειράματα που εκτελέστηκαν για τη ριζοβολία των μοσχευμάτων περιλάμβαναν 4 διαφορετικές εποχές κοπής τους μήνες Φεβρουάριο, Ιούλιο, Σεπτέμβριο και Ιανουάριο με το συνδυασμό του κατάλληλου χρόνου εμβάπτισης στο ΙΒΑ και την εφαρμογή διαφορετικών υποστρωμάτων για την παρατήρηση της ριζοβολίας τους. Η καταγραφή και παρατήρηση της ριζοβολίας τους γινόταν μετά από τρεις μήνες μετά την τοποθέτησή τους, είτε σε σύστημα υδρονέφωσης, είτε σε εξωτερικές συνθήκες περιβάλλοντος.
description: Object of this work is the proliferation of the wild rose R.canina using both seeds and cuttings that were collected from Lailias mountain in Serres. Subsequently, various experiments were carried out on the premises of the 'School of Forestry and Natural Environment' of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, to assess the germination of the Rosa canina seeds and the rooting of its cuttings. Seeds of R.canina were collected in November 2012 from Lailias mountain and suffered various manipulations to improve their germination. Experiments were performed including different manipulations per experimental design to study germination of achenes of R.canina. As reference to experiments performed on the rooting of cuttings included four different cutting times for February, July, September and January with the combination of timing and IBA immersion application of different substrates for the observation of the cuttings. The recording and observation of rooting was after three months after installation, or misting system or to external environmental conditions.
The targum (1979:Dec. 03 - 1979:Dec. 12)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1979

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
