description: Two experiments to evaluate ranges of weight of seed setts of yam (Dioscorea rotundata, Poir) cv Black Guinea were established in a Typic Hapludults soil in Corozal in the central hill lands of Puerto Rico in 2004 and 2005. The planting distance for both experiments was 30.4 cm by 1.2 m. Treatments in the first experiment were sprouted and non-sprouted seed setts of 42- to 70-g, 71- to 98-g, and 99- to 126-g weight ranges. In the second experiment only non-sprouted seed setts of 42- to 70-g, 71- to 98-g, and 99- to 126-g and 127- to 156-g weight ranges were evaluated. In the first experiment, the average yield of commercial yams ranged from 17.3 mt/ha to 33.7 mt/ha. In the second experiment, the average yield of commercial tubers ranged from 9.96 mt/ha to 20.79 mt/ha. In the first experiment, non-sprouted seed setts yielded more than the seed setts that had six weeks to sprout in a shadehouse before field planting. No differences in commercial yield were found among the non-sprouted seed sett ranges. Therefore, the lighter seed sett range of 42 to 70 g should be used for planting. In the second experiment, no differences in yield were found among the 71- to 98-g, 99- to 126-g and 127- to 156-g ranges. Results indicate that seed setts used for planting should be of the 71 -to 98-g seed sett range. Results of both experiments indicate that a seed sett range of 42- to 98-g should be used for planting.

description: Six weight ranges of ginger seed setts (14 to 28 g, 29 to 43 g, 44 to 57 g, 58 to 85 g, 86 to 114 g, and 115 to 128 g) were evaluated for yield in Gurabo, east-central Puerto Rico. The soil in the experimental area is of the Mabi clay series (fine, montmorillonitic, isohyperthermic Vertic Eutropepts). Rainfall during the nine-month cycle of the ginger (March- December 2005) was 1,744 mm (68.6 in); drip irrigation was also provided on a regular basis. No significant differences in yield were found between the two heaviest seed sett weight ranges used for planting, 115 to 128 g and 86 to 114 g. The 115- to 128-g setts yielded higher (a=0.05) than the four remaining ranges. The average yield of the 115- to 128-g setts was 24.59 mt/ha, whereas that of the 86- to 114-g setts was 18.47 mt/ha. The 86- to 114-g setts yielded significantly higher than the 14- to 28-g or the 29- to 43-g setts. Results indicate that the seed sett weight range of 86- to 114-g is the most feasible weight for planting ginger in east-central Puerto Rico.

description: Prices of oil and gas are generally known to be highly volatile and the recent price changes have caused several concerns for consumers, corporations and countries alike as they experience high dependency on oil and gas for transportation, electricity generation and industrial production. The specific objective of the study was to investigate commodity price changes effect on financial performance of the oil and gas sector. In so doing, data was sourced from active oil and gas firms quoted in the African Stock market. Panel data regression using Hausman’s fixed effect and random effect models was adopted. However, the study also conducted other diagnostic tests like multicollinearity test using Variance inflation factor, Heteroscedasticity test, correlation analysis. Findings showed that Commodity price change has negative but statistically significant effect on the financial performance of the African listed oil and gas firms at 1% level and that more profits were made during the period of fall in price of commodities, possibly because of higher demand in quantity, but lesser profit when prices rise, as a result of low demand associated with high prices. The study concludes that commodity price changes have strong influence on determination of the financial performance of oil firms and recommends that management should have adequate storage facilities to be able to store up more products when price falls. This would enable them sell more quantities at a lower price when price rises.

description: We present a rigorous proof of an ordering transition for a two-component two-dimensional antiferromagnet with nearest and next-nearest neighbor interactions. The low-temperature phase contains two states distinguished by local order among columns or, respectively, rows. Overall, there is no magnetic order in accord with the classic Mermin-Wagner theorem. The method of proof employs a rigorous version of "order by disorder," whereby a high degeneracy among the ground states is lifted according to the differences in their associated spin-wave spectra.

description: We present a new measurement of the s-wave scattering length a of spin-polarized helium atoms in the 2^3S_1 metastable state. Using two-photon photoassociation spectroscopy and dark resonances we measure the energy E_{v=14}= -91.35 +/- 0.06 MHz of the least bound state v=14 in the interaction potential of the two atoms. We deduce a value of a = 7.512 +/- 0.005 nm, which is at least one hundred times more precise than the best previous determinations and is in disagreement with some of them. This experiment also demonstrates the possibility to create exotic molecules binding two metastable atoms with a lifetime of the order of 1 microsecond.

description: We consider a toy model for non-local quantum correlations in which nature resorts to some form of hidden signaling (i.e., signaling between boxes but not available to the users) to generate correlations. We show that if such a model also had memory, the parties would be able to exploit the hidden-signaling and use it to send a message, achieving faster-than-light communication. Given that memory is a resource easily available for any physical system, our results add evidence against hidden signaling as the mechanism behind nature's non-local behavior

title: From the Colorado Plateau to Beyond Earth: Using Magmatic Intrusions into Sulfate-rich Sediments as Analogue for Planetary Habitable Environments
Creators: name: Baharier, Bea
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2025

description: Life appeared on Earth ~3.8 Ga, during a time when Earth and Mars shared a similar geological history. Unlike Earth, Mars became increasingly hostile to life, losing most of its atmosphere and surface water, with weathering potentially dominated by sulfuric acid. If life ever evolved on Mars, hypothetical microbes would have needed to shelter in the subsurface, or within isolated sulfur-rich hydrothermal environments, or within evaporite minerals. Consequently, researching sulfur-rich hydrothermal relics on Earth is instrumental in understanding potential life on Mars. This study investigated the relics of a plausible sulfur-rich hydrothermal habitat formed by the interaction between 'Awesome Dike' (AD) and sulfate-rich sediment from the San Rafael Swell, Utah, USA. Field investigations and geochemical laboratory analyses were conducted to model the fluid-rock interaction, understand past hydrothermal conditions, and assess the fluid's habitability potential. AD alteration was limited to calcite pseudomorphs with minor amounts of Fe-Mg-rich clays, Ca sulfate veinlets, and veins. The pseudomorph morphology and previous work on other local intrusions point to kaersutite amphibole as the likely precursor. The contact zone exhibited three alteration zones, with sulfates partially absent for the first 15 cm from the dike and no extensive alteration observed 2 meters away, indicative of localised sulfate fluid migration towards AD. Thermochemical modeling of the alteration indicated that the fluids began as high-temperature, acidic H2O-CO2 fluid, gradually neutralising to an HCO3 rich composition. As the fluid mixed with the dissolved sulfate from the sediments, it became enriched with CaSO4, forming a subsurface-isolated sulfate-rich hydrothermal environment and eventually evaporite minerals. The fluids eventually cooled to habitable conditions as indicated by the detection of gypsum, and the fluid conditions may have formed past and present viable habitats. This study emphasises the importance of understanding small-scale alterations and fluid composition of the interface of sedimentary rocks with magma. It suggests that the search for past biosignatures and potential extant habitats in Martian relic hydrothermal systems by magmatic intrusions is a promising target for astrobiology research.
title: Subject: talk.to/reflect - reflection and practice in nurses' computer-mediated communications
Creators: name: Murray, Peter John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: This study is situated within the everyday practice of nurses around the world, engaged in discourse with colleagues through listserv discussion forums, and immersed in Schon's swampy lowlands of important problems. Taking computer-mediated communications (CMC) to be an integral part of nursing informatics, the study begins by examining the literatures on CMC and nurses' reflection on and in practice.

The study is congruent with emerging mixed method research approaches within both nursing and the study of CMC, and comprises an electronic ethnography, coupled with the development of a model of reflection within nursing listerv discussions. Using a corpus of discussion threads from the NURSENET list, together with questionnaires,interviews and Virtual Focus Group discussions, all conducted by CMC over a six-year period, a tapestry ofa virtual community, united through discussion of shared practice issues, emerges. The narratives of everyday discussions dispel some of the urban myths of CMC and show the possibility of real social engagement.

A model of reflection derived from Kim's phases of critical reflective inquiry and Johns'framework for reflection on action is used to examine a pilot sample of NURSE NET discussion threads. This pilot version of the model is shown to be insufficient to describe the reality of reflective discussion in this forum, and a revised model is developed, essentially inductively, from the data. This new model, tested against a larger sample of discussion threads, demonstrates a qualitatively different form of reflection from that encountered offline. The online reflection is a group, as opposed to an individual, process, is action-oriented, and shows a form of 'online reflection around action' as nurses engage in ongoing practice situations, as well as post hoc reflection on-action. It also provides evidence of nurses using the reflective discussions to change practice, and so illustrates reflection akin to that envisaged by Kemmis.

description: The analysis of phonon anomalies provides valuable information about the cooperative dynamics of lattice, spin and charge degrees of freedom. Significant is the anomalous temperature dependence of the external modes observed in La$_{2/3}$Sr$_{1/3}$MnO$_{3}$ (LSMO) films. The two external modes merge close to the ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition at $T_C$ and, moreover, two new modes evolve in this temperature range with strong resonances at slightly higher frequencies. We propose that this observed phonon metamorphosis probes the inhomogeneous Jahn-Teller distortion, manifest on the temperature scale $T_C$. The analysis is based on the first observation of all eight phonon modes in the metallic phase of LSMO and on susceptibility measurements which identify a Griffiths-like phase.

description: The low-energy effective theory description of a confining theory, such as QCD, is constructed including local interactions between hadrons organized in a derivative expansion. This kind of approach also applies more generically to theories with a mass gap, once the relevant low energy degrees of freedom are identified. The strength of local interactions in the effective theory is determined by the low momentum expansion of scattering amplitudes, with the scattering length capturing the leading order. We compute the main contribution to the scattering length between two spin-zero particles in strongly coupled theories using the gauge/gravity duality. We study two different theories with a mass gap: a massive deformation of ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory (${\cal N}=1^*$) and a non-supersymmetric five-dimensional theory compactified on a circle. These cases have a different realization of the mass gap in the dual gravity description: the former is the well-known GPPZ singular solution and the latter a smooth $AdS_6$ soliton geometry. Despite disparate gravity duals, we find that the scattering lengths have strikingly similar functional dependences on the masses of the particles and on the conformal dimension of the operators that create them. This evinces universal behavior in the effective description of gapped strongly coupled theories beyond what is expected from symmetry considerations alone.

Помещенные в сборник статьи Айн Рэнд и Натаниэля Брандена призваны, как обещано во введении к рецензируемой книге, раскрыть сущность разумного эгоизма, то есть «разумной основы капиталистического общества». На деле – уже с введения начинаются передергивания, натягивания, скоропалительные суждения, касающиеся объяснения эгоизма, альтруизма, коллективизма, индивидуализма, человеческого достоинства, справедливости, свободы и других этически значимых сюжетов.
description: The proposed text is an exposition of those most significant perplexities and disagreements that arose during the attentive, at first confidential, and gradually more and more perplexing reading of the book "The Virtue of Selfishness." The articles by Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden, placed in the collection, are called upon, as promised in the introduction to the book under review, to reveal the essence of rational egoism, that is, "the rational basis of capitalist society." In fact, already with the introduction, distortions, straining, hasty judgments begin, regarding the explanation of egoism, altruism, collectivism, individualism, human dignity, justice, freedom and other ethically significant subjects.

description: Define $S(n,β)$ to be the set of complex polynomials of degree $n \ge 2$ with all roots in the unit disk and at least one root at $β$. For a polynomial $P$, define $|P|_β$ to be the distance between $β$ and the closest root of the derivative $P'$. Finally, define $r_n(β)=\sup \{|P|_β: P \in S(n,β) \}$. In this notation, a conjecture of Bl. Sendov claims that $r_n(β) \le 1$. In this paper we investigate Sendov's conjecture near the unit circle, by computing constants $C_1$ and $C_2$ (depending only on $n$) such that $r_n(β) \sim 1 + C_1 (1-|β|) + C_2 (1-|β|)^2$ for $|β|$ near 1. We also consider some consequences of this approximation.

Food Security and Poverty

description: We are part of a world where an estimated 925 million people are undernourished as a result of ongoing hunger. One in every three children suffers stunted growth, and nearly one in every two deaths in children under five is hunger-related. Such alarming statistics seem incongruous with the fact our world actually produces sufficient food to feed all 7 billion people. Our world’s agricultural research funding is mainly dedicated to increasing food production, yet we continually overlook the causal factors of insufficient food supply, emanating from ineffective post-harvest handling and preservation practices. If hunger (responsible for more deaths every year than war or disease, and the loss of more lives than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined) is not attributable solely to inadequate production of food but rather to insufficient availability of food, why is more not being done to reduce the shameful levels of food loss occurring in developing countries? This presentation highlights how these significant food losses are a clear indication of a poorly functioning and inefficient food system. The area of highest concern (where the greatest percentage of crop losses are recorded) is pre-farm gate, where poor harvesting, drying, processing and storage of crops occurs. Recent large-scale practical implementation work with farmers has achieved very significant results in sustainably reducing food losses in sub-Saharan Africa. This has seen reductions in food losses of up to 98% for over 50,000 farming families.

description: We develop the max-plus finite element method to solve finite horizon deterministic optimal control problems. This method, that we introduced in a previous work, relies on a max-plus variational formulation, and exploits the properties of projectors on max-plus semimodules. We prove here a convergence result, in arbitrary dimension, showing that for a subclass of problems, the error estimate is of order $δ+Δx(δ)^{-1}$, where $δ$ and $Δx$ are the time and space steps respectively. We also show how the max-plus analogues of the mass and stiffness matrices can be computed by convex optimization, even when the global problem is non convex. We illustrate the method by numerical examples in dimension 2.

description: We develop a linear response formalism for nuclear spin diffusion in a dipolar coupled solid. The theory applies to the high-temperature, long-wavelength regime studied in the recent experiments of Boutis et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 137201 (2004)], which provided direct measurement of interspin energy diffusion in such a system. A systematic expansion of Kubo's formula in the flip-flop term of the Hamiltonian is used to calculate the diffusion coefficients. We show that this approach is equivalent to the method of Lowe and Gade [Phys. Rev. 156, 817 (1967)] and Kaplan [Phys. Rev. B 2, 4578 (1970)], but has several calculational and conceptual advantages. Although the lowest orders in this expansion agree with the experimental results for magnetization diffusion, this is not the case for energy diffusion. Possible reasons for this disparity are suggested.

description: We investigate the rotational properties of a dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a toroidal geometry. Studying the ground states in the rotating frame and at fixed angular momenta, we observe that the condensate acts in distinctly different ways depending on whether it is in the superfluid or in the supersolid phase. We find that intriguingly, the toroidal dipolar condensate can support a supersolid persistent current which occurs at a local minimum in the ground state energy as a function of angular momentum, where the state has a vortex solution in the superfluid component of the condensate. The decay of this state is prevented by a barrier that in part consists of states where a fraction of the condensate mimics solid-body rotation in a direction opposite to that of the vortex. Furthermore, the rotating toroidal supersolid shows hysteretic behavior that is qualitatively different depending on the superfluid fraction of the condensate.

The available produce destined to go to the market is further lost through poor postharvest handling practices, road conditions and absence of a cool chain. The increasing importance of food and nutritional security in view of climate change factors affecting Pacific Islands Countries intensifies the need to reduce horticultural food loss. Postharvest losses were measured from harvest through to product arrival at the Suva municipal fruit and vegetable markets, with post-municipal market losses determined using simulated storage conditions. In this study, 32.9% of the harvested product was removed from the commercial supply chain. Poor temperature management during onfarm product ripening, and limited on-farm postharvest hygiene were key contributors to the observed loss. Contrary to expectations and comparable studies in other less developed countries, the losses due to transportation to municipal market were low (0.1%). While we found negligible in-transit physical damage to the product in the case study, this does not imply that existing road infrastructure is not an issue in Fiji, or that postharvest quality is not adversely influenced by in-transit conditions. A significant number of high intensity vibration events were recorded along the transport chain, most of which were restricted to a relatively small portion of the western bank Sigatoka Valley road. The small losses post-farm gate (in transport or at the market) are due to fast-to-market transport over relatively short distances and fast on-selling, involving few intermediaries, once at the market.
title: An exploration of multimedia programs in the teaching of photosynthesis
Creators: name: Beatty, Jeffrey William
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This thesis investigates the effectiveness of two multimedia programs in delivering an understanding of the light - dependent reaction of photosynthesis. One program, Cells and Energy, was adaptive, whilst the other, Photosynthesis Explorer, was interactive (a practical simulation). To inform the value of these different designs an empirical study was conducted. Ten pairs of participants were allocated to use one or other of the programs. During their use and with the researcher's support, members of each pair attempted to learn about the light-dependent reaction. Whilst doing so, audio and visual data were captured to provide information as to participants' and researcher's activities related to this learning process. Each participant's understanding was determined by matched pairs tests - as a pre-test and as immediate and delayed post-tests.

The programs generated a highly significant difference (p < 0.0005) amongst test results, with increased scores in the post-tests, but there was no Significant difference between the programs on participants' performance. Nevertheless the Photosynthesis Explorer group took about three times as long to deliver this equivalent effect.

By employing Laurillard's Discourse Model for evaluating events, which were recorded during the programs' use, this research provided evidence of the importance of feedback as scaffolding and support in delivering knowledge and understanding. The recorded, as well as test, data revealed misconceptions. Their effects on learning were complex as were cognitive conflict episodes arising from them, whose resolution was multifaceted.

description: Possibilities to realize a negative refraction in chiral composites in in dual-phase mixtures of chiral and dipole particles is studied. It is shown that because of strong resonant interaction between chiral particles (helixes) and dipoles, there is a stop band in the frequency area where the backward-wave regime is expected. The negative refraction can occur near the resonant frequency of chiral particles. Resonant chiral composites may offer a root to realization of negative-refraction effect and superlenses in the optical region.

description: In this article, we study the interactions of stable, hadronizing new states, arising in certain extensions of the Standard Model. A simple model, originally intended for stable gluino hadrons, is developed to describe the nuclear interactions of hadrons containing any new colour triplet or octet stable parton. Hadron mass spectra, nuclear scattering cross sections and interaction processes are discussed. Furthermore, an implementation of the interactions of heavy hadrons in GEANT 3 is presented, signatures are studied, and a few remarks about possible detection with the ATLAS experiment are given.

description: The Mahler measure of the polynomials $t(x^m-1) y - (x^n-1) \in \dC[x,y]$ is essentially the sum of volumes of a certain collection of ideal hyperbolic polyhedra in $\HH^3$, which can be determined a priori as a function on the parameter $t$. We obtain a formula that generalizes some previous formulas given by Cassaigne and Maillot \cite{M} and Vandervelde \cite{V}. These examples seem to be related to the ones studied by Boyd \cite{B1}, \cite{B2} and Boyd and Rodriguez Villegas \cite{BRV2} for some cases of the $A$-polynomial of one-cusped manifolds.

Subjects: T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, occurrence, cereals

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in different cereals grown in the eastern and northwestern region of the Republic of Croatia, with monitoring of climatic factors. During the period 2017-2019, a total of 300 samples of five different cereals were sampled and the individual concentrations of T-2 and HT-2 toxins, their sum and ratio were determined. The results in the observed period show different occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in analyzed cereals, with the highest in oats (63%), followed by corn (44%), barley (28%), wheat (22%) and rye (8%). Their average concentration was the highest in oat samples, followed by maize, barley and wheat. Summary concentration of T-2 and HT-2 toxins above the prescribed indicative values was determined in two maize samples, with values of 252.8 µg/kg in 2017 and 282.4 µg/kg in 2019. The average ratio of the main compound (T-2) and its toxic metabolite (HT-2) in the period 2017-2019 was 1:4, 1:3 and 1:2, respectively. During observed three-year period, the highest level of occurrence of T-2 and HT-2 toxins was determined in 2019. These results can be a consequence of weather conditions, since there was higher average precipitation in the sampling regions during the period of cultivation and harvesting of cereals (April-October 2019).

description: Food loss and waste in Timor-Leste has been identified as a critical factor contributing to human undernutrition. Our project enhances natural scavenging systems by improved poultry production, with improved management, vaccination against Newcastle Disease (ND) and logistical support. We are working with the University of Sydney to implement the sustainable use of heat tolerant ND vaccine, administered as eye drops triennially by trained paraveterinarians. The Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources conceived and jointly manages the project with the Timor- Leste Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. They provide training in national biosecurity and biosecurity practices applicable to village poultry. Management systems are supported with locally made shelter to protect from predation. With the help of Berrimah Veterinary Laboratory we are improving cold chain management and vaccine potency verification. The project is funded by the Australia Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Increased poultry production with these improved systems leads to improved scavenging systems – more hens equals more effective searching for scraps, insects and other invertebrates as they fend for themselves with minimal carbohydrate input provided by their owners. In return more hens are available to produce eggs for sale or chickens for consumption. Each of these activities results in better availability of balanced protein and bioavailable micronutrients for growing and lactating humans. Once households observe that their flock dynamics are no longer subject to dramatic decreases, the consumption of eggs becomes an option rather than prioritising them for hatching to obtain replacement birds.

description: Food loss occurs along the entire food chain, including losses at wholesale and retail markets. Among retail markets, supermarkets have important roles in food chains since they are located close to the end of the food chain. In developing countries, supermarkets are increasing, and are making a significant contribution to national retail food sales. Along with rapid development, food loss occurs in significant amounts in supermarkets since they sell large quantities of food. This paper aims to review and estimate food loss and food waste in Indonesian supermarkets focusing on fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and meat products. First we review food loss in supermarkets from the previous literature. Then we report on a case study conducted with a leading supermarket in Indonesia in order to estimate its food loss and its efforts to prevent the amount of food loss. Reducing food loss in supermarkets is an important issue in terms of the efforts to increase profit in supermarkets, to increase income for small farmers supplying to supermarkets, and to improve food security in urban areas, as well as avoid environmental problems caused by food waste.

Two scleractinians species forming bushes several meters high are seen in this video clip : Desmophyllum pertusum (syn. Lophelia pertusa) and Madrepora oculata.
The mega cities, mega waste 'last mile' challenge

Subjects: Food Security and Poverty

description: Across Asia, rapid growth of mega cities is driving change in retail outlets and consumer purchasing. Mega city economies are increasing the purchasing power of millions of people, creating the middle class of Asia. Many Asian consumers are internationally educated and are adopting the food habits of western consumers. Increasingly, shelf-ready packaged meats, cheese and imported fruit and vegetables are now purchased from supermarkets rather than local wet markets. In the past, most of Asian food wastage occurred post-harvest, during distribution to wet markets. Congested mega cities have limited cold storage systems and most food continues to be transported in nonrefrigerated trucks. Travel times have increased along congested roads and much imported and local food has lost its freshness long before it reaches the consumer. This results in very short shelf life and increased waste. The systemic failures across food distribution and waste management systems are resulting in mega waste. Unsorted waste, from the ‘last mile’ (distribution centre to consumption), ends up in open landfills on the edges of cities. The challenge is immense. This and the next four presentations explore some of the technology and policy drivers that can help us to understand the problem, including creating energy from waste, and helping consumers make informed choices.

Subjects: Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety

description: It is estimated that the world currently loses close to 90% of its nutrients between the farm and the fork. Future global food security will consequently not only be reliant on reducing the third of food produced that is currently lost or wasted, it will also require the development of a nutrient retention paradigm as part of the circular economy. This talk discusses a logical approach to nutrient retention, including transformation technologies, to ensure that the greatest amount of nutrient is retained in the human food chain. It details how high value and nutritionally enhanced functional foods can be created from such an approach, for the economic benefit of innovators in the field. Notwithstanding, it also discusses the importance of reinvigorating the lost art of utilising food leftovers to retain nutrients, because over half of food waste occurs in households in the developed world. The development of a new paradigm of nutrient retention within the circular economy will be essential for global food security – with nutritional security for all, not just food security, being the ultimate aim.
