description: This document is the second version of the Market Research and Strategy Report (D7.1) for the Food Safety Market Project (TheFSM), an Innovation Action supported by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission (Grant agreement ID: 871703). General information on the project, including its objectives and partners, facts and results, can be found on foodsafetymarket.eu. While the initial document offered a preliminary market assessment report, starting with the identification of stakeholders in a broader context, and an analysis of the competitive Food Safety landscape, following by the identification of the value propositions for key customer segments, along with opportunities and challenges for market entry and growth, and the development of a methodology for risk analysis for the TheFSM adoption, this report refers to an eight (8) chaptered updated version, aligned with the conception of this deliverable as a living document that will be continually enriched with new insights and perspectives. This updated deliverable imprints the critical findings from the D1.1 Report on Requirements for TheFSM, D7.2 Ongoing documentation of governance and business models and D7.3 Annual report of marketing sales and partnerships activities, while is centred around the following underlying objectives: Formulate a business model and a growth strategy, supported by risk assessment and practical advice for the adoption of the TheFSM in key customer segments; Deliver the exploitation strategy, for the benefit of the partners and the European Food Safety industry, while protecting intellectual property created by the project; Planning and developing of an upadted Go – to – Market Strategy; Amelioration and progress of challenges and mitigation measures; Developing of a data expansion strategy based on TheFSM’s offering and competitive advantages
Acidification of rectal fluid in the locust Schistocerca gregaria
Creators: name: Speight, Janet Dorothy Isabella
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Acidification of rectal fluid in Schistocerca gregaria is due probably to active secretion of hydrogen ions, although bicarbonate absorption from H₂CO₃ leaving behind hydrogen ions cannot be excluded. This was concluded after the following mechanisms were eliminated: introduction of acid from some anterior region of the gut; bacterial fermentation; slow release of hydrogen ions from fecal material; preferential absorption of the basic form of the phosphate buffer pair; secretion of acid phosphate; release of hydrogen ions from the intima. Any absorption of phosphate in the rectum must be as the monovalent ion since the cuticular intima was found to limit severely passage of the divalent form, as shown by studies of intimal permeability at various pH values. The relationship of acidification of rectal contents to total acid-base regulation of the locust is not clear, although there is some evidence that excess acidity is lost via the excreta. Regulation of the hemolymph pH is rather slow, with a halfway return to normal in about one day when the tolerance level has not been exceeded.

description: We study the 'Large Volume Scenario' on explicit, new, compact, four-modulus Calabi-Yau manifolds. We pay special attention to the chirality problem pointed out by Blumenhagen, Moster and Plauschinn. Namely, we thoroughly analyze the possibility of generating neutral, non-perturbative superpotentials from Euclidean D3-branes in the presence of chirally intersecting D7-branes. We find that taking proper account of the Freed-Witten anomaly on non-spin cycles and of the Kaehler cone conditions imposes severe constraints on the models. Nevertheless, we are able to create setups where the constraints are solved, and up to three moduli are stabilized.

description: We analyze the quantum penny flip game using geometric algebra and so determine all possible unitary transformations which enable the player Q to implement a winning strategy. Geometric algebra provides a clear visual picture of the quantum game and its strategies, as well as providing a simple and direct derivation of the winning transformation, which we demonstrate can be parametrized by two angles. For comparison we derive the same general winning strategy by conventional means using density matrices.

description: We investigate the behaviour of quantum fields coupled to a spacetime geometry exhibiting finite regions of Euclidean (Riemannian) signature. Although from a gravity perspective this situation might seem somewhat far fetched, we will demonstrate its direct physical relevance for an explicitly realizable condensed matter system whose linearized perturbations experience an effective emergent spacetime geometry with externally controllable signature. This effective geometry is intrinsically quantum in origin, and its signature is determined by the details of the microscopic structure. At the level of the effective field theory arising from our condensed matter system we encounter explicit anisotropic scaling in time and space. Here Lorentz symmetry is an emergent symmetry in the infrared. This anisotropic scaling of time and space cures some of the technical problems that arise when working within a canonical quantisation scheme obeying strict Lorentz invariance at all scales, and so is helpful in permitting signature change events to take place.

description: We show that the gravitational binding energy of a neutron star of a given mass is correlated with the slope of the nuclear symmetry energy at 1-2 times nuclear saturation density for equations of state without significant softening (i.e., those that predict maximum masses $M_{\rm max} > 1.44M_{\odot}$ in line with the largest accurately measured neutron star mass). Applying recent laboratory constraints on the slope of the symmetry energy to this correlation we extract a constraint on the baryon mass of the lower mass member of the double pulsar binary system, PSR J0737-3039B. We compare with independent constraints derived from modeling the progenitor star of J0737-3039B up to and through its collapse under the assumption that it formed in an electron capture supernova. The two sets of constraints are consistent only if $L \lesssim$ 70 MeV.

description: The crystal base of the modified quantized enveloping algebras of type $A_{+\infty}$ or $A_\infty$ is realized as a set of integral bimatrices. It is obtained by describing the decomposition of the tensor product of a highest weight crystal and a lowest weight crystal into extremal weight crystals, and taking its limit using a tableaux model of extremal weight crystals. This realization induces in a purely combinatorial way a bicrystal structure of the crystal base of the modified quantized enveloping algebras and hence its Peter-Weyl type decomposition generalizing the classical RSK correspondence.

description: Applying a unified approach, we study the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) and fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in the Hofstadter model with short range interactions between fermions. An effective field, that takes into account the interaction between fermions, is determined by both amplitude and phase. Its amplitude is proportional to the interaction strength, the phase corresponds to the minimum energy. In fact, the problem is reduced to the Harper equation with two different scales: the first is a magnetic scale with the cell size corresponding to a unit quantum magnetic flux, the second scale determines the inhomogeneity of the effective field, forms the steady fine structure of the Hofstadter spectrum and leads to the realization of fractional quantum Hall states. In a sample of finite size with open boundary conditions, the fine structure of the Hofstadter spectrum consists of the Dirac branches of the fermion excitations and includes the fine structure of the edge chiral modes. The Chern numbers of the topological Hofstadter bands are conserved during the formation of their fine structure. The edge modes are formed into the Hofstadter bands. They connect the nearest-neighbor subbands and determine the conductance for the fractional filling.

title: Demographic Analysis of a Utah-Idaho Coyote Population
Creators: name: Knudsen, Jeffrey J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: I estimated various demographic parameters of the coyote population in Curlew Valley, northern Utah and southern Idaho, during the period August 1972 through September 1974. Field work provided estimates of relative and absolute coyote densities and established causes of coyote mortality. Laboratory analyses of 866 coyote carcasses supplied information on sex and age ratios, ovulation frequencies, pregnancy rates, and litter sizes.
Annual ovulation frequencies and pregnancy rates for the entire population varied from 70 to 92 percent and 57 to 88 percent respectively. Age- specific ovulation frequencies varied from 63 to 91 percent, respectively, for pups and adults. Similarly, age-specific pregnancy rates varied from 53 to 100 percent for pups and adults respectively. Mean age-specific litter sizes were 6.0, 5.9, 6.5, and 6.2 for pups, Yearlings, adults, and all ages combined, Reproductive rates appeared to be inversely related to coyote densities; hence, density-dependent processes operated in this population.
The sex ratio of denned pups (May ) did not differ significantly from an expected 50:50 sex ratio. The pup sex ratio in the winter carcass collections differed significantly from 50:50 where as that of yearlings and adults did not.
The percentage of pups varied from 42 to 56 percent in the winter carcass collections. Ages of coyotes were determined by counting cementum annuli in longitudinal canine and lower first premolar sections. In addition to the conventional method of assigning ages, I developed a second method based on cementum thickness ratios. This method was necessary since my collections were obtain ed during the period of annulus formation. Hence it is possible to observe coyotes of the same age that display different numbers of annuli.
Both the relative- and absolute-density data revealed substantial short - term variation in coyote densities. Post-whelping, May coyote densities may have varied from 1.5 to 0.2 coyotes per square 2 mile (0.6 to 0.08 coyotes per km).
The mortality of coyotes 5 months old and older was almost entirely man-induced. Annual fall-to-fall population mortality varied from 42 to 82 percent. Similarly, estimated birth-to-fall pup mortality rates ranged from 41 to 72 percent, with the major losses probably occurring between birth and May. Coyotes are probably most susceptible to natural mortality during their first few months of life.

description: The model of a spherical quantum dot with several donor impurities on its surface is suggested. The electron energy spectra are studied as a function of the quantum dot radius and the number of impurities. Several cases of the location of impurities on the quantum dot surface are considered. The plane wave functions method has been applied to calculate the electron energy spectrum. The splitting of electron energy levels is analyzed in the cases of different number of impurities. It is shown that the electron energy splitting depends on both the number of impurities on the surface and on their location. The electron binding energy is defined too.

Radio Quiet AGNs as Possible Sources of Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Rays

description: Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been one of the most widely discussed sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). The recent results of Pierre Auger observatory (PAO) have indicated a possible composition change of UHECRs above ~10^{18.5} eV towards heavy nuclei. We show here that if indeed UHECRs are largely heavy nuclei, then nearby radio quiet AGNs can also be viable sources of UHECRs. We derive constraints on the acceleration sites which enable acceleration of UHECRs to 10^{20} eV without suffering losses. We show that the acceleration of UHECRs and the survival of energetic heavy nuclei are possible in the parsec scale weak jets that are typically observed in these objects, the main energy loss channel being photodisintegration. On this scale, energy dissipation by shock waves resulting from interactions inside a jet or of the jet with surrounding material are expected, which may accelerate the particles up to very high energies. We discuss the possible contribution of radio-quiet AGNs to the observed UHECR flux, and show that the required energy production rate in UHECRs by a single object could be as low as ~ 3*10^{39} erg/s, which is less than a percent of the bolometric luminosity, and thus energetically consistent. We discuss consequences of this model, the main one being the difficulty in detecting energetic secondaries (γ-rays and neutrinos) from the same sources.

The relation of Piaget's three stages in number conservation development to achievement in grade I arithmetic
Creators: name: Dennis, Isobel Gertrude
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Jean Piaget describes three stages in the development of that aspect of quantitative thinking which he named conservation of number. In the first stage, a child is quite unaware that one-to-one pairing of two sets implies equivalence of the sets. He is unable to make a correct one-to-one correspondence, and if presented with two sets of objects which have been matched unit for unit, believes that one set has become greater if its units are spread out, or smaller if they have been compressed. In the second stage, the child is able to make a correct correspondence, but does not believe in the continued equivalence of the sets when one is spatially rearranged. In the third stage, the child maintains that the matched sets remain equivalent even though the units of one set have been rearranged, that is, the child conserves number. Piaget postulates that conservation is a necessary condition of mathematical understanding. In this study, it was hypothesized that children who are in Stage 1 at the beginning of their Grade 1 year, and who are still in Stage 1 at the beginning of the second term show low achievement in arithmetic at the end of the school year. It was further hypothesized that each stage in conservation is associated with corresponding levels in terminal achievement in Grade 1 arithmetic. One hundred fifty-six children received an individual conservation test in October of their first grade year, and were thereby classified as being in Stage 1, Stage 2, or Stage 3 in conservation development. In January, those classified as Stage 1 received a second conservation test, and were again classified according to their stage in conservation development at that time. In May, the arithmetic sub-test of the Stanford Achievement Test, Primary I Battery was administered to all groups. A significant proportion of the Stage 1 group selected by the January conservation test had achievement scores which fell below the median for all subjects, while a significant proportion of the Stage 3 group selected by the October test had above-median achievement scores. Mean achievement scores for the two Stage 3 groups did not differ significantly from each other, but were higher than mean achievement scores for the Stage 1 and Stage 2 groups. No significant differences were found among mean achievement scores of Stage 1 and Stage 2 groups. The results were interpreted as being consistent with Piaget's theory. The superiority of the mean terminal achievement of early conservers over that of children who had not developed conservation by January appeared great enough to be of educational importance. Some individual scores showed marked deviation from the pattern derived from the group data, however, and caution in use of the conservation test as a predictive instrument was recommended. It was proposed that the conservation test could be a useful diagnostic procedure for the teacher.

description: The development of microdischarges and the inception dynamics of subsequent microdischarges in an electrode arrangement consisting of a metal pin and a hemispherical dielectric-covered electrode, operated in air with a small toluene admixture, is studied. The discharge is operated with sinusoidal high voltage. A gated ICCD camera and a current probe enable the recording of images and current pulses of the single microdischarges, respectively, while the spatio-temporally resolved development is measured with a multi-dimensional time-correlated single photon counting technique. The overall discharge dynamics changes significantly if a concentration of 35 ppm toluene is added to dry air. A lower high voltage amplitude than in dry air is needed for stable discharge operation. This can be explained by the lower ionization energy of toluene compared to molecular oxygen and nitrogen. The microdischarge development is the same with or without admixture, i.e. a positive (cathode directed) streamer mechanism is observed. Lower mean power is dissipated into the discharge when toluene is admixed. The main effect caused by toluene admixture is the suppression of high-energy microdischarges in case of the cathodic pin half-cycle of the sinusoidal high voltage. The influence on the inception voltage by additional ionization mechanisms and volume memory effects, the consumption of energetic electrons for toluene decomposition reactions, and the modification of the surface by plasma treatment are discussed as possible reasons.
title: Feeding Habits and Reproduction of Three Sympatric Lizard Species from West-Central Utah

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The feeding habits and reproduction of Uta stansburiana, Crotaphytus collaris and Cnemidophorus tigris during spring and summer 1976 are described. Feeding habits are expressed in percent total number and volume of prey items and frequency of occurrence of each prey category. Importance Values are also calculated. These values better illustrate the feeding habits of the lizard species than either percent total number and volume and frequency of prey category occurrence.
Lizards consume a variety of food items throughout the growing season. Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera and Arachnida are the major prey categories of U. stansburiana. The major prey categories of C. collaris and C. tigris are Orthoptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera and Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Arachnida, respectively.
Dietary overlap between species and food species diversities (numbers and volume) are also used to illustrate the feeding habits. Reproduction is assessed by clutch size and frequency. Clutch size of U. stansburiana, C. collaris and C. tigris is 2.99, 5.38 and 3.07, respectively. All species laid one clutch of eggs in 1976.

description: A quantum theory of spectral parameters and oscillator strengths of quantum transitions in an active region, which contains cascades of wide quantum wells with a complicated potential profile is developed. A new spatial design of the cascade is calculated and proposed with such an asymmetric arrangement of the wells and barriers, in which, without an applied electric bias, the magnitudes of oscillator strengths are considerable and one-way resonant-tunneling transport of electrons is observed. As a result, it becomes possible to ensure a successful functioning of the broadband photodetector in the far IR range.

description: The applicability of the three steps systematic parametrization procedure (3SSPP) to develop a force field for primary amines was evaluated in the present work. Previous simulations of primary amines show that current force fields (FF) can underestimate some experimental values under room conditions. Therefore, we propose a new set of parameters, for an united atom (UA) model, that can be used for short and long amines which predict correctly thermodynamic and dynamical properties. Following the 3SSPP methodology, the partial charges are chosen to match the experimental dielectric constant whereas the Lennard-Jones (LJ) parameters, $ε$ and $σ$, are fitted to reproduce the surface tension at the vapor-liquid interface and the liquid density, respectively. Simulations were initially conducted for the propylamine molecule by introducing three different types of carbon atoms, C$_α$ and C$_β$, with electric charges, and C$_n$, without charge. Then, modifying the charges of the carbons and using the transferable LJ parameters, the new set of constants for long amines were found. The results show good agreement for the experimental dielectric constant and mass density with a percentage error less than 1%, whereas for the surface tension the error is up to 4%. For the short amines, methylamine and ethylamine, the new charges were obtained from a fitting function calculated from the long amines results. For these molecules, the values of the dielectric constant and the surface tension present errors of the order of 10% with the experimental data. Miscibility of the amines was also tested with the new parameters and the results show reasonable agreement with experiments.

description: Ion-induced cell killing has been reported to depend on the irradiation dose but also on the projectile parameters. In this paper we focus on two approaches developed and extensively used to predict cell survival in response to ion irradiation: the Local Effect Model and the Katz Model. These models are based on a track-structure description summarized in the concept of radial dose. This latter is sensitive to ion characteristics parameters and gives to both models the ability to predict some important radiobiological features for ion irradiations. Radial dose is however an average quantity, which does not include stochastic effects. These radiation-intrinsic effects are investigated by means of a Monte-Carlo simulation of dose deposition. We show that both models are not fully consistent with the nanometric and microscopic dose deposition statistics.

title: The Impact of the ACT Automated Admissions System as Perceived by the High School Counselors in Utah
Creators: name: Clark, James Rodney
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The ACT automated admissions system was adopted by t he Colleges and Universities in the Utah system of higher education in 1974. The automated admission system was conceived at a time when College enrollment al l over the United States was decreasing, and thus was viewed by its proponents as a positive step in alleviating some of the articulation problems between post secondary institutions, high school counselors and prospective students.
Educators who developed the program felt that it would be an advantage to prospective students by providing an admissions decision shortly after the ACT was taken. Automated admissions appears to be an advantage to high school counselors because i t eliminates the need for a high school transcript in the admissions process, and because it reduces the amount of time the counselor is involved in the mechanics of the admissions process.
This study represents an effort to determine the impact of the Automated Admissions system on the high school counselor and on prospective college students.
The results of this study indicate that a significant number of Utah high school counselors favor the Automated Admissions system as opposed to "traditional" admissions systems formerly in use, because of the reduction in clerical work required of the counselor.

description: Spin-resonance modes (SRM) are taken as evidence for magnetically driven pairing in Fe-based superconductors, but their character remains poorly understood. The broadness, the splitting and the spin-space anisotropies of SRMs contrast with the mostly accepted interpretation as spin excitons. We study hole-doped Ba1−xNaxFe2As2 that displays a spin reorientation transition. This reorientation has little impact on the overall appearance of the resonance excitations with a high-energy isotropic and a low-energy anisotropic mode. However, the strength of the anisotropic low-energy mode sharply peaks at the highest doping that still exhibits magnetic ordering resulting in the strongest SRM observed in any Fe-based superconductor so far. This remarkably strong SRM is accompanied by a loss of about half of the magnetic Bragg intensity upon entering the SC phase. Anisotropic SRMs thus can allow the system to compensate for the loss of exchange energy arising from the reduced antiferromagnetic correlations within the SC state.
On causality, apparent 'superluminality' and reshaping in barrier penetration

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider tunnelling of a non-relativistic particle across a potential barrier. It is shown that the barrier acts as an effective beam splitter which builds up the transmitted pulse from the copies of the initial envelope shifted in the coordinate space backwards relative to the free propagation. Although along each pathway causality is explicitly obeyed, in special cases reshaping can result an overall reduction of the initial envelope, accompanied by an arbitrary coordinate shift. In the case of a high barrier the delay amplitude distribution (DAD) mimics a Dirac $δ$-function, the transmission amplitude is superoscillatory for finite momenta and tunnelling leads to an accurate advancement of the (reduced) initial envelope by the barrier width. In the case of a wide barrier, initial envelope is accurately translated into the complex coordinate plane. The complex shift, given by the first moment of the DAD, accounts for both the displacement of the maximum of the transmitted probability density and the increase in its velocity. It is argued that analysing apparent 'superluminality' in terms of spacial displacements helps avoid contradiction associated with time parameters such as the phase time.

Estimating secondary production and egg production of Calanus spp. at the Polar front
Creators: name: Granaas, Torkel
Publisher: name: UiT The Arctic University of Norway
Year: 2023

description: The Barents Sea Polar Front is a biological hotspot, as the ice edge bloom happens in closeproximity to the front, while on the Atlantic side advection carries plankton towards the front.It is of great interest to learn more about zooplankton secondary production in the region, asthis gives an indication of how much energy is available for higher trophic levels.

Secondary production and egg production of Calanus spp. was estimated across two transectson the Atlantic side of the Barents Sea Polar Front during the spring bloom. The samplingwas done semi-automatic, with towed instrument packages recording amongst otherzooplankton biovolume with the LOPC, fluorescence and temperature. This in turn was usedto compute growth rates using a semi-empirical formula, which were applied to the observedbiomass of zooplankton. In addition, biovolume spectrum was constructed to furtherunderstand the state and size structure of the zooplankton community.

At different stations female Calanus spp. were collected to measure egg production rate, which in combinationwith abundance counts from the LOPC gave estimates of Calanus egg production across thetransects. Secondary production in the upper 50 meters of the water column was estimated tobe on average 5 and 6 mg carbon m-3 day-1 across the first and second transect, respectively.

Contribution of egg production to total secondary production was highest on the secondtransect, but the method could be prone to overestimation of egg production. The biovolumespectra indicated productive zooplankton communities typical for a spring bloom scenario.This study demonstrates the strengths of using semi-automatic sampling to discover spatialpatterns in zooplankton secondary production

description: We study the electronic and magnetic properties of T$_2$AlC (T=Ti and Cr) compounds in the density-functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with consideration of strong Coulomb correlations (GGA+$U$) in the framework of the fully relativistic spin-polarized Dirac linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) band-structure method. The X-ray absorption spectra and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Cr $L_{2,3}$ and Cr, Ti, and C $K$ edges were investigated theoretically. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data. The effect of the electric quadrupole $E_2$ and magnetic dipole $M_1$ transitions at the Cr $K$ edge has been investigated.

title: Summer Distribution and Food Habits of Microtus in the Logan Canyon Area, Utah
Creators: name: Monroe, James B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: Field work for the study was conducted in Logan Canyon and the valley at the base of that canyon in Cache County, Utah, during the three summer months of both 1968 and 1969, Microtus pennsylvanicus, found only in the valley, inhabits wet marshy areas. Microtus longicaudus is found in mixed deciduous woods a long the Logan River in the canyon. Microtus richardsoni, which occurs only at the higher elevations, inhabits the subalpine meadows. Microtus montanus inhabits mesic grassy fields in both the valley and Logan Canyon and also inhabits a mixed deciduous woods and tall canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) growing adjacent to impounded waters in the canyon.
Foods eaten by Microtus pennsylvanicus and Microtus montanus were studied from analysis of stomach and caecal contents. Both species appear selective in their feeding habits. Plants eaten by Microtus montanus in larger percentages, than they occurred in the field, included Agropyron trachycaulum, Agropyron Smithii, Festuca elator, and Melilotys officinalis, whereas the very abundant Poa pratensis and Glyceria elata were eaten in very small amounts. Plants eaten by Microtus pennsylvanicus in larger amounts, than they were present in the field, included Agropyron trachycaulum, Phalaris arundinacea, and Equisetum kansanum; and the very abundant Carex nebraskensis, Carex lanuginosa, and Juncus balticus were eaten in lesser amounts.
Food preference tests for Microtus montanus, taken from a habitat composed primarily of Phalaris arundinacea, demonstrated that these voles eat large amounts of that grass not because they prefer it but because of its extremely high abundance
title: Religious Affiliation, Authoritarianism, and Dogmatism of College Students
Creators: name: Sharp, Heber M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of religious affiliation to the authoritarianism and open-closed mindedness of students at two institutions of higher learning, controlling for sex, re ported church attendance, state in which the person reported residence as a child, and city size of reported childhood residency.
The sample for this study was selected from junior and senior students at Utah State University (n=l,409) and Weber State College (n=837). The subjects for whom data were analyzed indicated affiliation with the following religious groups: Agnostic, Baptist, Catholic, Christian, Episcopalian, Jewish, Lutheran, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Methodist, Presbyterian, Protestant, and Other. Low and Shaver (1971) had administered to each subject the California F Scale and the 40-item Dogmatism Scale to obtain quantitate estimates of authoritarianism and dogmatism. Demographic information such as sex, frequency of church attendance, state of childhood residency, and city size of childhood residency, was also obtained from each subject . The Low-Shaver data were reanalyzed to make more sensitive tests of the relationship of sex, frequency of church attendance, the state in which the person resided as a child, and city size of childhood residency to stated religious affiliation and to F and D Scale mean scores.
Several significant differences were obtained. The factor of religion was significant for both the D and f Scale with the subjects indicating affiliation with the fundamentalist religions receiving higher scores than those affiliated with less fundamental religions. The effect of sex was significant--males scoring higher than females on both scales . The religion by sex interaction was significant on both the D and F Scales, due large ly to the differing direction of mean differences of subjects indicating Jewish preference. This finding was interpreted with caution due to the small sample drawn primarily from Utah. A significant curvilinear relation was obtained between church attendance and both the 0 and F Scale means, with those indicating frequent church attendance receiving higher D and F Scale scores. The main effect of city size of childhood residency was significant on both the D and F Scales 1 with subjects com ing from smaller communities receiving higher mean 0 and F Scale scores.

description: Transient absorption is a very powerful observable in attosecond experiments on atoms, molecules and solids and is frequently used in experiments employing phase-locked few-cycle infrared and XUV laser pulses derived from high harmonic generation. We show numerically and analytically that in non-centrosymmetric systems, such as many polyatomic molecules, which-way interference enabled by the lack of parity conservation leads to new spectral absorption features, which directly reveal the laser electric field. The extension of attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) to such targets hence becomes sensitive to global and local inversion symmetry. We anticipate that ATAS will find new applications in non-centrosymmetric systems, in which the carrier-to-envelope phase of the infrared pulse becomes a relevant parameter and in which the orientation of the sample and the electronic symmetry of the molecule can be addressed. © 2020 The Author(s).

title: Overwintering of Erwinia Amylovora Inside Living Host Tissue in Cache Valley, Utah
Creators: name: Morrill, G. Doyle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: Experiment s were conducted to see if Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al. overwinters inside living host tissue in Utah. Bacteria, collected from apple, pear, mountain ash, chokecherry and Pyracantha, were used in the experiment. Isolates taken from buds and inner bark plated on nutrient yeast dextrose agar, we re tested by serological and bacteriophage techniques. Those showing positive tests were then inoculated into Bartlett pear seedlings to test virulence.
Both virulent and avirulent isolates were isolated from each species of plant in the experiment. Pathogenic bacteria were isolated from diseased tissue near cankers, as well as from apparently healthy inner bark as far as six inches below the cankers. Pathogenic bacteria were also isolated from healthy appearing buds in the vicinity of cankers. Nearly 15 percent of isolates from hosts other than apple and pear were pathogenic to Bartlett pear seedlings. A good deal of variation existed among the bacterial isolates.
Antisera developed from four isolates of Erwinia amylovora proved to be a good means of identification for the pathogen.

description: In the recent paper by Kudryashov [Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simulat., 2009, V.14, 3507-3529] seven common errors in finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations were listed and discussed in detail. We indicate two more common errors concerning the similarity (equivalence with respect to point transformations) and linearizability of differential equations and then discuss the first of them. Classes of generalized KdV and mKdV equations with variable coefficients are used in order to clarify our conclusions. We investigate admissible point transformations in classes of generalized KdV equations, obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of similarity of such equations to the standard KdV and mKdV equations and carried out the exhaustive group classification of a class of variable-coefficient KdV equations. Then a number of recent papers on such equations are commented using the above results. It is shown that exact solutions were constructed in these papers only for equations which are reduced by point transformations to the standard KdV and mKdV equations. Therefore, exact solutions of such equations can be obtained from known solutions of the standard KdV and mKdV equations in an easier way than by direct solving. The same statement is true for other equations which are equivalent to well-known equations with respect to point transformations.
