description: Die COVID-19-Pandemie und die damit verbundenen Maßnahmen zeigen massive Auswirkungen auf die psychosoziale Gesundheit. Präsenz-Angebote waren während der Pandemie vielfach nicht möglich, weshalb professionelle Beratungsstellen in kurzer Zeit neue – digitale – Wege gehen mussten. Die Relevanz von E-Mental-Health-Angeboten resultiert ebenso aus der hohen Prävalenz von Essstörungen bei jungen Menschen, für die Online-Aktivitäten eine wesentliche Lebenswelt darstellen. Jedoch ist speziell digitale Beratung im Essstörungsbereich kaum erforscht – diese Lücke will das vom Bundesgesundheitsministerium finanzierte Projekt „Digitale Beratungsangebote professioneller Beratungsstellen für Essstörungen: Partizipative Bestandsaufnahme, Evaluation und Entwicklung von Qualitätsleitlinien – DigiBEssst“ schließen. Als Partner*innen treten die Hochschule Landshut mit ihrem Institut Sozialer Wandel und Kohäsionsforschung (IKON) und der Bundesfachverband Essstörungen e. V. (BFE) auf.
Ziel des Forschungsprojekts war es, das bestehende digitale Beratungsangebot im Essstörungsbereich in Deutschland zu erheben, die Erfahrungen von Fachkräften, Betroffenen und Angehörigen mit diesem Angebot zu erfassen und daraus „good practice“ sowie bestehende Barrieren und Bedarfe abzuleiten. Basierend auf einer internationalen Literaturstudie kam ein Mixed-Methods-Design zum Einsatz. Eine Analyse von Websites professioneller Beratungsstellen bei Essstörungen ermittelte 86 Beratungsstellen, die Online-Beratung anbieten. In die sich anschließende Online-Befragung konnten die Antworten von 29 Beratungsstellen mit digitalem Angebot einbezogen werden, was einer Rücklaufquote von 34 % entspricht. In leitfadengestützten Interviews wurden die Erfahrungen von Fachkräften (n=15), Betroffenen (n=16) und Angehörigen (n=10) evaluiert und anhand der inhaltlich strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. 
Aus der Literaturrecherche und den Erhebungen ließen sich Standards für die Online-Beratung in fünf zentralen Themenfeldern ableiten: „Zugang und Setting“, „Haltung und Selbstfürsorge“, „Beratungskompetenzen und schwierige Situationen“, „Zusammenarbeit und Vernetzung“ sowie „Rahmenbedingungen und Ressourcen“. Diese dienten als Grundlage für die Entwicklung von Qualitätsleitlinien. Die Leitlinien sind als Empfehlungen zu verstehen, die einerseits von professionellen Beratungseinrichtungen zur kritischen Reflexion oder Etablierung eigener Angebote genutzt werden können. Andererseits dienen sie Ratsuchenden als Orientierung, um professionelle Angebote im Internet identifizieren zu können. Sie sind in weiten Teilen auch über den Essstörungsbereich hinaus anwendbar.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across diverse natural language processing tasks, yet their ability to memorize structured knowledge remains underexplored. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which general-purpose pre-trained LLMs retain and correctly reproduce concept identifier (ID)-label associations from publicly available ontologies. We conduct a systematic evaluation across multiple ontological resources, including the Gene Ontology, Uberon, Wikidata, and ICD-10, using LLMs such as Pythia-12B, Gemini-1.5-Flash, GPT-3.5, and GPT-4. Our findings reveal that only a small fraction of ontological concepts is accurately memorized, with GPT-4 demonstrating the highest performance. To understand why certain concepts are memorized more effectively than others, we analyze the relationship between memorization accuracy and concept popularity on the Web. Our results indicate a strong correlation between the frequency of a concept's occurrence online and the likelihood of accurately retrieving its ID from the label. This suggests that LLMs primarily acquire such knowledge through indirect textual exposure rather than directly from structured ontological resources. Furthermore, we introduce new metrics to quantify prediction invariance, demonstrating that the stability of model responses across variations in prompt language and temperature settings can serve as a proxy for estimating memorization robustness.

Gargela minuta Song et al., 2009, p. 55, figs. 12, 24. Type locality: Taiwan, Lanyu Island, 270 m.
MATERIAL
7 ♂, 8 ♀, 2 unsexed (detailed information in Table S1; https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.b8gtht7mh).
SIMILAR SPECIES
Gargela distigma Song et al., 2009, Gargela polyacantha Li, 2019, Gargela bidentella sp. n.
DIAGNOSIS
Among Gargela species of the Philippines, Gargela minuta can be separated on the forewing by the dark brown spots and the ocher coloration of the fringes (Fig. 27). Gargela minuta shows a nearly identical forewing pattern to G. bidentella sp. n., but the fringe spots are more pronounced in G. minuta than G. bidentella sp. n. Both species are unambiguously separated by examination of male genitalia (Fig. 86); the bulky costal process with dorsal bump, the narrowed distal part of the valva, and the tiny cornuti of the vesica separates G. minuta from other Gargela species. This species has similar male genitalia as in G. distigma; however, in the latter species, the valva has a notched apex, and the vesica lacks the tiny cornuti. In female genitalia (Fig. 145), the following characters separate G. minuta from other Gargela species: the papillae anales are ventrally produced posterad, the posterior apophyses are bent upwards at basal 1/3, the basal half of ductus is covered with tiny spines, and the corpus bursae is pear-shaped with two thorn-shaped signa.
DISTRIBUTION
PHILIPPINES: Luzon (Nueva Vizcaya, Zambales, Laguna), Mindanao (Davao Oriental), Mindoro; Negros. TAIWAN. Collected at altitudes between 150 and 1150 m.
DNA BARCODING
The species delimitation analysis recovered two MOTUs, one for the specimens from Luzon (North Luzon, Zambales, Laguna) and Mindoro and one for the unique female specimen from Mindanao (Davao Oriental). The highest intraspecific divergence observed is of 3.97% between samples MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL07-A08 from Mindanao (Davao) and MFNLEP-PYRALPHIL09-F09 from Luzon (Laguna). Haplotype from the specimen from Taiwan (DNA voucher MFNLEP995) differs by 0.16% from the haplotype from Luzon and Mindoro (see Fig. 179h).
REMARKS
This is the first record of this species from the Philippines.

description: In the United States, property owners have the right to develop the minerals under their property unless that right has been sold, leased, or transferred. Development of minerals in non-traditional geologic formations has created a dramatic expansion in mineral development. Because the mineral exploration and development process can dramatically affect the land and its future use as well as the financial condition of the mineral owner and surface user, owners and surface users need to be aware of the potential impacts and take steps to see that their interests are protected. The primary tool mineral owners have is the lease agreement with a mineral company. This paper outlines considerations with mineral development for farm and ranch managers.

description: This paper examines the state of health of Nigerian agriculture. The purpose of the study was to investigate the success of some of the various efforts of Government to improved agriculture in Nigeria overtime and to recommend approach for improvement. Government programmes and projects in the past were briefly assessed for effectiveness, sustainability or continuity. The results revealed that practically all the nine programmes and projects examined followed similar pattern in lacking commensurate success and continuity. The main reason for this was the perception of the people that the programmes and projects were those of government needing no personal commitment. Resources were not used with economics consciousness and profit orientation. Coupled with this, and more importantly was the high poverty level of the farmers which makes it difficult to procure necessary inputs for modern agricultural practices to increase production. Hence, there is need to evolve a means of injecting capital that can be effectively utilized in Agriculture. The paper thus recommends the involvement of cooperatives to ensure proper commitment of funds that will bring about desired results. This is borne out of the positive characteristics of cooperatives highlighted such as selflessness, ensuring equity, togetherness and provisional support for members among others. Cooperative is a proven organ of empowerment for the people to improve their lots.

Bioisosteres and structure-based virtual screening PTP1B inhibitors
Creators: name: Coronell, Andrea

Year: 2020

description: Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), a widely validated anti-diabetic molecular target, is a monomeric phosphatase, which plays an essential role in the regulation of metabolism, particularly in the insulin and leptin signaling pathway. So it is a crucial element in the pathogenesis of two of the so-called "diseases of civilization": type 2 diabetes and obesity.

The complete PTP1B sequence is made of 435 residues, but the full-length structure has not been solved. Shorter versions (298 or 321 residues) of the protein are commonly utilized in crystallization and enzymatic assays. Mostly of PT1B 3D structures solved comprises 298 residues, which represents the catalytic domain. The remain ~ 100 residues (299- 400) constitute the intrinsically disordered region of the protein.

The identification of selective PTP1B inhibitors has increased considerably in recent years. Nevertheless, owing to the subcellular location and structural properties of the enzyme, the design of selective and effective inhibitors remains a challenge.

This work aims to study protein-ligand interactions between PTP1B and different chemical compounds that can inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. To achieve this, we constructed the missing crystal part using molecular modeling to identify some relevant binding section in the regulatory region of the protein (which is yet to be solved). In addition to that, an extended search with the allosteric and active site of PTP1B through structure-based virtual screening (with iDock) and molecular docking (with AutoDock vina) was carried out with catalytic domain of the enzyme and 2485 chemical compounds from Zinc database. They were selected according to their origin (biogenic or not), FDA approval, human use, and commercial availability. Then, we did molecular dynamic simulations whit the protein and the molecule that showed best bind affinity. Finally, we modeled bioisosteres with the compound that exhibited binding stability according to the RDMSD, resulted in the previous step.

In conclusion, although bioisosteres exhibited less bind affinity that the one showed by the first compounds, future in vitro assays must be done to determine if they are suitable for PTP1B inhibition, which implies test if they are safer and more clinically useful.

description: Livestock production has positive and negative impacts and externalities that have an effect on the socio-economic systems as well as the ecosystem, from both the global and national perspective. This study assessed the scale, range and degree of both positive and negative impacts of livestock production systems on ecosystems, human health and livelihoods (outputs). We have characterised a set of livestock production systems for poultry, beef and dairy which we indicate as â€˜snapshotsâ€™, for which the economic, social and environmental values and impacts were quantified and monetized. This kind of analysis can act as the foundation for decision-making within a specific geographical scope. The positive and negative socio-economic impacts in livestock production depends on local circumstances. We found substantial diversity in the regions we studied in terms of productivity, impact on climate, water quality and biodiversity, but also in the potential for improvement; big is not always beautiful; intensification is not always better. The growth of the livestock sector presents many risks for natural capital, but there is much that can be done to tackle these risks. It is possible to produce animal products for the world population without losing this form of wealth, if the right path is followed.

description: We analyse a n-dimensional Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) quantization framework, characterized by a non-commutative nature of the configurational variables. First, we identify a set of states which are maximally localized only along a single direction, at the expense of being less localized in all the other ones. Subsequently, in order to recover information about localization on the whole configuration space, we use the only state of the theory which exhibits maximal localization simultaneously in every direction to construct a satisfactory quasi-position representation, by virtue of a suitable translational operator. The resultant quantum framework is then applied to model the dynamics of the Bianchi I cosmology. The corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation is reduced to Schrödinger dynamics for the two anisotropy degrees of freedom, using a WKB representation for the volume-like variable of the Universe, in accordance with the Vilenkin scenario. The main result of our cosmological implementation of the constructed quantum theory demonstrates how the dynamics of a wave packet peaked at some point in the configuration space represented in the quasi-position variables, favours as the most probable configuration exactly the initial one for a relatively long time, if compared with the ordinary quantum theory. This preference arises from the distinct behavioral dynamics exhibited by wave packets in the two quantum theories.

 The diagnosis is constructed based on the holotype and referred material housed at the NHMUK. This species can be differentiated from all other Saurorhynchus species by the following combination of characters:short, deep skull, overbite consistently present (overbite slight or absent in S. acutus); posterior dorsal skull roof deflected dorsally relative to the long axis of the skull (parallel in S. acutus); postorbital segment approximately equal in length to the depth of the lower jaw; anterior narial opening large and triangular in outline with the apex directed toward the mandible (narrow and elongate in S. acutus); foramen for the internal carotid and efferent pseudobranchial arteries positioned posterolaterally within the basisphenoid, exposing the large foramen of the ophthalmica magna artery on the anterolateral surface of the basisphenoid; posterior edge of the mandible weakly sinusoidal (strongly sinusoidal in S. acutus); angle between the posterior and ventral edges of the mandible less than 80 degrees; subnarial laniaries well-developed with acrodin caps directed lingually (subnarial laniaries absent and all acrodin caps straight in S. acutus); mandibular sensory canal closer to the dorsal than ventral edge of the posterior mandible. Opercle strongly wedge-shaped; lateral supracleithrum bearing prominent anterior process pierced by a foramen; pectoral radials well-ossified.   Material studied
 Holotype
 UNITED KINGDOM: Lyme Regis (NHMUK PV OR 40726) (Fig. 1B). A skull with partial pectoral girdle preserved in lateral view. This specimen is probably from the Charmouth Mudstone Formation, Black Ven Mudstone Member, latest early Sinemurian to late Sinemurian (Forey et al. 2010).   Remarks
 Here we restrict usage of S. brevirostris to material from the Lower Lias. The anterior tip of the holotype skull is missing, but in the largest referred specimen skull length (tip of rostrum to jaw joint) is 86 mm (Suppl. Table 1). Assuming similar proportions to S. hauffi sp. nov., fork length is estimated at up to 30 cm for S. brevirostris.

description: Trajectory data combines the complexities of time series, spatial data, and (sometimes irrational) movement behavior. As data availability and computing power have increased, so has the popularity of deep learning from trajectory data. This review paper provides the first comprehensive overview of deep learning approaches for trajectory data. We have identified eight specific mobility use cases which we analyze with regards to the deep learning models and the training data used. Besides a comprehensive quantitative review of the literature since 2018, the main contribution of our work is the data-centric analysis of recent work in this field, placing it along the mobility data continuum which ranges from detailed dense trajectories of individual movers (quasi-continuous tracking data), to sparse trajectories (such as check-in data), and aggregated trajectories (crowd information).

description: Western larch (Larix occidentalis Nutt.) heartwood meals were successively extracted with five solvents of increasing polarity and finally with absolute ethanol. The total extractable material collected was 14.94%, oven dry (OD) wood basis. Compounds in each solvent fraction were seperated, mostly by column chromatography over silica gel, Sephadex A25 and Sephadex LH20. The identities of isolated compounds, after determining relevant physical and chemical properties were confirmed by comprison with standard compounds. Previously unreported compounds found in western larch heartwood included: Four resin acids (0.017% total yield) as sandaracopimaric, isopimaric, abietic and dehydroabietic from the petroleum ether (65° -80°) extract; pinocembrin (5,7 dihdroxy-flavanone) from the benzene extract (0.003% yield); and free L-arabinose from the water extract. Other compounds found were: β-sitosterol, β-sitosteryl palmitate, tristearin, esters of linolenic and arachidic acids, palmitic, palmitoleic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidic acids. Also found were dihydrokampferol, α-conidendrin, dihydroquercetin, quercetin and arabinogalactan (11.10% yield). Isolates were characterized by their IR and NMR spectra, various chrmatographic behaviours and comparison with standards. Physical and chemical properties of unidentified compounds are reported as a guide for future research.

However, the past decade went the way of a new market; that is to breed colour-variant indigenous game for high-priced hunting experiences. The golden wildebeest, black blesbuck or odd-coloured springbok are examples. Presently, once exuberant prices are tumbling heeding a warning to colour-variant breeders that such prices are not due to real market forces. Numerous small farmers who entered the breeding market are now at risk of not reaping the profits that lured them into colour-variant game farming.

description: This paper reviews the literature on the uptake of agricultural innovations in general, and more specifically in beef cattle farms, with a specific focus on how these innovations may be relevant in Scottish beef farms. The paper is intended as a literature review, representing a forerunner to a more comprehensive study of the national level uptake of innovative technologies in Scottish specialist beef farms. There are several definitions of innovation available in the literature, with many of them stemming from the ideas of Schumpeter, according to whom economic development is driven by innovation. From a farm-level perspective, innovation is seen as the main driver of agricultural productivity growth. The decision of whether an individual will adopt a specific innovation, and the time frame associated with that decision, has been the main subject of research across several disciplines (e.g. economics, sociology). Since Griliches (1957) pioneering study on farmersâ€™ decisions to adopt an innovation, the subject has been extensively studied. Agricultural economists have been focussed on understanding and modelling farmersâ€™ adoption decision-making, with several theories and models being developed over time. These are particularly valuable for informing policies and programs designed to encourage innovation uptake.

description: Nonequilibrium phase transitions driven by light pulses represent a rapidly developing field in condensed matter physics. As one of the archetypal strongly correlated materials, vanadium dioxide (VO2) undergoes a structural phase transition (SPT) from a monoclinic (M1) to rutile (R) structure and an insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) either when heated above 340 K or when excited by an ultrafast laser pulse. Here, we present a tensor network study of the light-induced phase transitions in VO2 based on a quasi-one-dimensional model with all the important ingredients -- multi-orbital character, electron-lattice coupling, and electron-electron correlations -- being included. We show that this model qualitatively captures the equilibrium properties of VO2 by calculating the ground state phase diagram and finite-temperature phase transitions. A hybrid quantum-classical tensor-network method is used to simulate the dynamics following photoexcitation. We find that the structure can transform faster than the harmonic phonon modes of M1 phase, suggesting lattice nonlinearity is key in the SPT. We also find separate timescales for the evolution of dimerization and tilt distortions in the lattice dynamics, as well as the loss and subsequent partial restoration behavior of the displacements, which can provide an explanation for the complex dynamics observed in recent experiments [C. Brahms et al., arXiv:XXXX.XXXXX]. Moreover, decoupled SPT and IMT dynamics are observed in the numerical simulations: while the initial M1 structure transforms to the R one in tens of femtoseconds, the IMT occurs quasi-instantaneously, consistent with recent experimental findings. Our theoretical studies provide insight into the light-induced phase transitions of VO2, revealing unexpected non-monotonic transformation pathways and paving the way for future studies of non-thermal phase transformations.

description: We consider two different models of a hydrogenic atom in a quantized electromagnetic field that treat the electron relativistically. The first one is a no-pair model in the free picture, the second one is given by the semi-relativistic Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian. We prove that the no-pair operator is semi-bounded below and that its spectral subspaces corresponding to energies below the ionization threshold are exponentially localized. Both results hold true, for arbitrary values of the fine-structure constant, $e^2$, and the ultra-violet cut-off, $Λ$, and for all nuclear charges less than the critical charge without radiation field, $Z_c=e^{-2}2/(2/π+π/2)$. We obtain similar results for the semi-relativistic Pauli-Fierz operator, again for all values of $e^2$ and $Λ$ and for nuclear charges less than $e^{-2}2/π$.

description: A project has been commissioned by the European Commission (DG AGRI) to identify the needs of young farmers and to design an exchange programme tailored to the needs of young farmers. To achieve this, a survey was carried out among 2,205 farmers younger than 40 in all 28 EU Member States. In addition, in each Member State a focus group was organised (or a few additional interviews with relevant stakeholders were performed if it appeared not possible to organise a focus group in a country) to validate the results of the survey. The results showed that young farmers have different needs, depending on the region in which they live (new MS or EU15), the agricultural sector in which they work, their education level and their farm situation (owner of the farm or not). This indicates that knowledge offered and exchange programmes should be tailor-made to the specific needs of young farmers. They should have the opportunity to â€˜designâ€™ their exchange programme themselves, taking their time and financial constraints into account, so that they can obtain the knowledge and experience they need.

description: We perform a fully relativistic calculation of the $^2 \vec H(e,e'p)n$ reaction in the impulse approximation employing the Gross equation to describe the deuteron ground state, and we use the SAID parametrization of the full NN scattering amplitude to describe the final state interactions (FSIs). The formalism for treating target polarization with arbitrary polarization axes is discussed, and general properties of some asymmetries are derived from it. We show results for momentum distributions and angular distributions of various asymmetries that can only be accessed with polarized targets.

Use of X-ray Absorption Spectrometry to Determine Diffusion Coefficients in Low-Permeability Shale: Queenston Formation Shale

description: A new spectrometric technique for measuring diffusion coefficients of Ordovician Queenston Formation shale from the Michigan Basin of southwest Ontario, Canada is presented; in this case pore diffusion coefficients (Dp) were determined for the conservative (iodide, I^-) and reactive (cesium, Cs^+) tracers in porous media. Furthermore, diffusion-reaction parameters such as Cation exchange capacity (CEC) were obtained for the reactive tracer, Cs^+ by the reactive-transport modeling. The principle of X-ray absorption spectrometry (XAS) is based on the attenuation of high atomic number of diffusive species (e.g. Cs^+and I^-) in porous media, allowing for the quantification of the resulting spatial changes. The technique employs a 1.1 mm collimated X-ray beam to resolve the tracer presence in a slice; small region of a rotating sample for a fixed time. The x-ray beam is incident on a sample of porous rock while the transmitted beam is detected on the opposite side of the sample, allowing acquisition of a transmitted X-ray energy spectrum vs intensity (counts). Additional analyses such as mineralogical studies by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) were conducted to improve the understanding of solute transport. The comparison of the data obtained by the XAS method indicating a good agreement with established radiography and other conventional diffusion methods provide an alternate approach for quantifying the diffusion coefficient of porous media.

description: We provide sufficient conditions for the approximate controllability of infinite-dimensional quantum control systems corresponding to form perturbations of the drift Hamiltonian modulated by a control function. We rely on previous results on controllability of quantum bilinear control systems and obtain a priori $L^1$-bounds of the controls for generic initial and target states. We apply a stability result for the non-autonomous Schrödinger equation to extend the results to systems defined by form perturbations, including singular perturbations. As an application of our results, we prove approximate controllability of a quantum particle in a one-dimensional box with a point-interaction with tuneable strength at the centre of the box.

description: Beekeeping can be an attractive option for agriculture entrepreneurs because beekeeping enterprises often require less initial land and capital than other agricultural ventures. However, while beekeeping may have lower barriers to entry, there is little information about management and marketing characteristics that may maximize beekeeper profitability. This study formally assesses the extent to which firm size and location, production and service activities, and marketing decisions affect returns to beekeepers. Empirical analysis of data from 107 beekeepers in the U.S. mountain west region indicate that smaller, semi-commercial beekeepers receive higher average variable returns per colony than larger, commercial beekeepers but that more established firms do not have a significantly higher variable returns over younger firms. The results also show that beekeepers could earn higher average variable returns from increased honey marketing and almond pollination services, suggesting that recent increases in almond pollination fees did not sufficiently offset revenues from per colony honey sales. Broadly, this study can improve beekeeper cost-benefit analysis and trade-off evaluation when making managerial decisions and responding to changes in policy related to beekeeping business development.

description: The presented analysis of synergies and trade-offs between indicators of economic sustainability used a large sample of panel data of Swiss dairy farms ranging from the years 2003 to 2014. Using these data, six common financial ratios are used to calculate economic indicators representing profitability, liquidity and stability. The correlation analysis shows a strong positive correlation (i.e. synergy) between the two financial ratios for profitability. Between the financial ratios for liquidity and stability, synergies and trade-offs exist to various extents. The financial ratios are then normalized and harmonized to get an overall coherent picture and to construct an aggregate indicator of economic performance. The results are a promising starting point for analysing additional factors that should be considered in quantitative sustainability assessments.

Open carry: poems
Creators: name: Freeman, Ru
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: A collection of poems that explore the fractures that pervade the lives of immigrants. What does it mean to cross a culture in every sense of the word? What losses are sustained and how are they repaired, if ever? How does love, if it is found at all, survive the fault lines we carry within our psyche? These poems unite my concerns as an immigrant, an internationalist, and a keen observer of the American socio-political landscape. The large-scale politics of identity, place, and imperialism are leavened with the more intimate details of poets, writers, and friends who complicate the narrative in significant ways.
Discretized Minimal Surface and the BDS Conjecture in N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory at Strong Coupling

description: We construct numerically the minimal surface in AdS spacetime surrounded by the light-like segments, which are dual to the 4, 6 and 8-point gluon scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We evaluate the area of the minimal surface in the radial cut-off regularization and compare these areas with the formula conjectured by Bern, Dixon and Smirnov (BDS), which is modified by the remainder function of cross-ratios of external momenta for n(\geq 6)-point amplitudes. In our momentum configuration cross-ratios are constant. We calculate the difference of areas with different conformal boost parameters, which is independent of the remainder function, and find that its dependence on the boost parameter is numerically consistent with the BDS formula.

PR - THE DEVELOPMENT AND FUTURE OF LANDSCAPE-SCALE, COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN ENGLAND
Creators: name: Franks, J.R.

Subjects: subject: Environmental Economics and Policy
subject: agri-environment scheme
subject: collaboration
subject: landscape scale

description: Modern agri-environment schemes (AES) have developed since their introduction in England in 1979 following criticism of their lack of effectiveness and poor value for money. Revisions to AES have been based on our increased knowledge of environmental production systems, and the relationship between the aims of AES and the motivations of farmers to participate in them. Recently a raft of studies has argued that environmental benefits can be increased if AES contracts switch from farm- and field- to landscape-scale agreements: finding which, in part, motivated the introduction of Mid Tier in Countryside Stewardship in 2016. This paper traces the development of the cross-farm boundary, landscape scale opportunities offered by AES in England. Future expansion of cross-farm collaborative AES and options are then discussed against the background of the UKâ€™s decision to leave the European Union, its continuing membership of World Trade Organisation (WTO), and government support for Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES).
