description: Flood recession farming (locally known as molapo farming) is a farming system which is based on natural irrigation and fertilization of the floodplain where crops are cultivated on the remaining soil moisture of the receding flood. Maize (Zea mays) is the most commonly grown crop in molapo farms and yet the contribution of the moisture regime in meeting the crop’s water requirements is poorly understood. In particular the link between residual moisture and moisture supplied by rainfall and its effect on maize growth has not been investigated. This study investigated this aspect at three sites (Tubu, Xobe and Shorobe) located in the Okavango Delta, Botswana where molapo farming is mainly practiced by small-holder farmers. These small-holder farmers are faced with challenges such as high or low floods and fields vulnerable to livestock grazing leading to early harvesting. The study established that main implications for the farming community were that planting too close to the channels may be too wet or waterlogged while moving away from the channel can become too dry leading to poor plant emergence and low yields.

description: The structure of the universe is believed to have formed by clustering hierarchically from small to large scales. Much of this evolution occurs very slowly but at a few special times more, rapid, violent activity may occur as major subunits collide at high velocities. The Abell 2125 complex (z=0.247) appears to be undergoing such an event as shown by modeling of the optical velocity field and by the detection with the VLA of an unusually large number of associated radio active galaxies. We present an 80 ksec Chandra imaging of Abell 2125, together with extensive complementary multi-wavelength data. We show direct evidence for galaxy transformation and destruction during the cluster formation. The Chandra data unambiguously separate the X-ray contributions from discrete sources and large-scale diffuse gas in the Abell 2125 complex, which consists of various merging clusters/groups of galaxies and low-surface brightness emission. This enables us to study processes affecting galaxy evolution during this special time from scales of Mpc down to a few kpc. The overall level of activity plus the special time for the cluster-cluster merger suggests that an important phase of galaxy evolution can take place during such events.

title: Testing changes in gene expression profiles in Octopus vulgaris (Mollusca Cephalopoda)
Creators: name: Zarrella, Ilaria
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2012

description: The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the molecular machinery involved in learning and memory processes in Octopus vulgaris. Fear is the leitmotif. A fear conditioning training protocol was developed to evaluate behavioural responses in animals negatively conditioned to an artificial stimulus. To test whether interaction with con specifics in a solitary animal induces a form of innate fear, experiments were carried out to test the influence of 'social' interaction on predatory performances.

Genomic information available for O.vulgaris is limited, from these data I found a-tubulin, octopressin, cephalotocin, stathmin. I also identified the partial cDNA sequences for TH, uch and dat. Creb and ubi were also considered herein.

I studied the pattern of distribution of these genes by in situ hybridization, the analysis of the co-localization of Ov-dat and Ov-THtranscripts allowed to draw a possible distribution of dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons in the octopus CNS.

I analysed the pattern of expression of these genes in response to fear. I showed that CREB phosphorylation levels significantly increased during memory retrieval suggesting that a phenomenon analogue to reconsolidation may occur in octopus.

Experiments of qRT-PCR revealed the increased expression of Ov-uch and Ov-stm in the lobes known as centers for learning and memory confirming the involvement of these genes in the processes of synaptic plasticity, learning and LTM.

The increased expression of Ov-dat and Ov-TH in response to learned fear suggests that the consolidation of a task with aversive reinforcers is mediated by a dopaminergic pathway. On the contrary, in response to social interaction these genes are down-regulated suggesting that this process is mediated by other neurotransmitters.

Finally, this study will provide the basic tools for future experiments where the analysis of the molecular machinery may be correlated with different forms of learning and synaptic plasticity.

description: This report proposes a model to assess the state of UBC’s food system sustainability on a continuum ranging from “unsustainable” to “sustainable.” Sustainability is defined as a value-based, adaptable approach concerned with the interconnections between food, health and agriculture involving social, economical and ecological issues (1, 8). Our proposal is based on a weak anthropocentric and communitybased value perspective. After analyzing the current goals of the UBC Sustainability Office, and examining the components of the food system based on our values, we have developed measurable social, ecological and economical indicators to evaluate the sustainability of the UBC Food System (UBCFS). The indicators of sustainability will assist in locating the UBCFS in our proposed sustainability model. The social, ecological and economical indicators are ‘community support of local agriculture production,’ ‘waste management and recycling’ and ‘profit and losses,’ respectively. We have designed a research proposal that outlines the ways that the sustainability of the UBCFS can be evaluated based upon these indicators. We have also included recommendations and alternative research ideas for future projects regarding sustainability of the UBCFS. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: A wide variety of interacting particle assemblies driven by an external force are characterized by a transition between a blocked and a moving phase. The origin of this deblocking transition can be traced back to the presence of either external quenched disorder, or of internal constraints. The first case belongs to the realm of the depinning transition, which, for example, is relevant for flux-lines in type II superconductors and other elastic systems moving in a random medium. The second case is usually included within the so-called jamming scenario observed, for instance, in many glassy materials as well as in plastically deforming crystals. Here we review some aspects of the rich phenomenology observed in interacting particle models. In particular, we discuss front depinning, observed when particles are injected inside a random medium from the boundary, elastic and plastic depinning in particle assemblies driven by external forces, and the rheology of systems close to the jamming transition. We emphasize similarities and differences in these phenomena.

description: Spatial variability in wetland soils provide insight into underlying ecosystem processes and may itself give an indication of wetland condition. The study was conducted to characterise and delineate soil variability of wetlands of Khalong-la-Lithunya from hydric soil properties. Sampling was carried on three sub catchments within Khalong-la-Lithunya catchment. In each sub catchment soil samples were dug at 100m interval along three transects that were 200m apart. Detailed soil profile description of 36 pits was done following USDA-NRCS (2010) manual. Soil samples were collected to the depth of 90 cm at 15 cm interval and analyzed for soil organic carbon (SOC), Base Cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+) and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), available Phosphorus (Av-P), available Nitrogen (Av-N), Soil pH, percentage sand, clay and silt. Mean soil properties were 3.5 mg/kg Av-p, 3.0 mg/kg Av-N, 28.3 % SOC, 5.1 pH, Bulk density 0.7 g/cm3 and the texture is sandy. The means base cations were 2.8, 1.8, 7.9 and 2.3 cmol/ kg for Na, K, Ca and Mg, respectively and CEC 82.5 cmol/kg. Av-P was the most variable property with CV ranging from 115 and 162 % in different soil depths while pH was the least variable with CV ranging from 6 and 12 %. The Nugget/Sill ratios were less than 56 %, indicating random heterogeneity. The semivariograms indicated moderate spatial dependence (25 < DSD ≤ 75%) for soil properties including SOC, Av-P, Av-N, pH and sand. Most properties indicate moderate spatial dependence and hence easily managed. Chemical properties were more variable than physical properties.

description: Rearing cattle and goats is an important economic activity for smallholder farmers in Mozambique where animals are raised in traditional production systems in communal pastures. Despite its importance, there is little information on their health conditions, particularly the occurrence of infections by parasites that can cause economic losses, especially Neospora caninum and Besnoitia besnoiti. A serological study to estimate the prevalence of Neospora caninum and Besnoitia besnoiti was undertaken in Angónia district of Central Western Mozambique between April and May 2010. Animals were randomly selected at acaricide dip tanks upon the consent of the owners, and all the selected animals were regarded as one flock in each locality. A serological survey for these protozoa was undertaken using the Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test. A prevalence of anti-N. caninum IgG was estimated in 297 cattle serum samples and 8.4% were positive at the dilution of 1:200 to 1:800, while in goats from the 132 samples 3.8% were positive at 1:50 and 1:100 dilutions. Ninety four cattle samples were examined and 39.4% were positive for anti-B. besnoiti antibodies, which represents a high prevalence. This is the first evidence of seroprevalence of N. caninum in cattle and goats, and of B. besnoiti in cattle in Angónia, Mozambique.

description: We demonstrate that the acoustic spin of a first-order Bessel beam can be transferred to a subwavelength (prolate) spheroidal particle at the beam axis in a viscous fluid. The induced radiation torque is proportional to the acoustic spin, which scales with the beam energy density. The analysis of the particle rotational dynamics in a Stokes' flow regime reveals that its angular velocity varies linearly with the acoustic spin. Asymptotic expressions of the radiation torque and angular velocity are obtained for a quasispherical and infinitely thin particle. Excellent agreement is found between the theoretical results of radiation torque and finite element simulations. The induced particle spin is predicted and analyzed using the typical parameter values of the acoustical vortex tweezer and levitation devices. We discuss how the beam energy density and fluid viscosity can be assessed by measuring the induced spin of the particle.

description: Multiphoton excitation of a solid by a few-cycle, intense laser pulse forms a very non-equilibrium distribution of charge carriers, where occupation probabilities do not necessarily decrease with energy. We show that, under certain conditions, significant population inversion can emerge between pairs of valence- or conduction-band states, where transitions between the Bloch states are dipole-allowed. This population inversion leads to stimulated emission in a laser-excited solid at frequencies where the unperturbed solid is transparent. We establish the optimal conditions for observing the strong-field-induced optical gain.

description: Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) is experimentally investigated in Pt/Co/Pt multilayer films under strain. A strong variation (from 0.1 to 0.8 mJ/m$^2$) of the DMI constant is demonstrated at $\pm 0.1\%$ in-plane uniaxial deformation of the films. The anisotropic strain induces strong DMI anisotropy. The DMI constant perpendicular to the strain direction changes sign while the constant along the strain direction does not. Estimates are made showing that DMI manipulation with an electric field can be realized in hybrid ferroelectric/ferromagnetic systems. So, the observed effect opens the way to manipulate the DMI and eventually skyrmions with a voltage via a strain-mediated magneto-electric coupling.

description: We study the motions inside 28 OB-associations with the use of Gaia DR2 proper motions. The average velocity dispersion calculated for 28 OB-associations including more than 20 stars with Gaia DR2 proper motion is sigma_v =4.5 km s-1. The median virial and stellar masses of OB-associations are M_vir=8.9 x 10^5 and M_st=8.1 x 10^3 Ms, respectively. The median star-formation efficiency in parent giant molecular clouds appears to be epsilon=1.2 per cent. Gaia DR2 proper motions confirm the expansion in the Per OB1, Car OB1 and Sgr OB1 associations found earlier with Gaia DR1 data. We also detect the expansion in Gem OB1, Ori OB1 and Sco OB1 associations which became possible for the first time now when analyzed with Gaia DR2 proper motions. The analysis of the distribution of OB-stars in the Per OB1 association shows the presence of a shell-like structure with the radius of 40 pc. Probably, the expansion of the Per OB1 association started with the velocity greater than the present-day expansion velocity equal to 5.0 +\- 1.7 km s-1.

In particular we show that the linear dilaton background is the most general supersymmetric solution without background under the additional requirement of flatness in the string frame. We also give the most general solutions for flat spacetime in the string frame with RR or NS-NS backgrounds, and they are characterized by a single function.

title: The changing epidemiology, clinical syndrome and antibiotic resistance patterns of shigellosis in Vietnamese children
Creators: name: Ha, Vinh
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Diarrhoeal diseases remain the second most common cause of death among children under-five globally, following closely behind pneumonia. In developing countries, rotavirus and Shigella spp. are thought to be the most important enteropathogens causing acute childhood diarrhoea. Systematicd ata on diarrhoea)diseases. particularly Shigella infection, in southern Viet Nam is lacking. An analysis of the historical trends in epidemiology, antibiotic susceptibility, and clinical features of Shigella infection and contemporary clinical studies of the response to antibiotic treatment in Vietnamese children were the central aims of this thesis. By analysing Shigella strains isolated from children between 1995 and 2009 I documented a transition in the dominant Shigella species causing diarrhoea from S.flexneri to S.sonnei, a change previously linked with industrialisation and economic development. During the same period there was a sharp increase of nalidixic acid resistant Shigella strains from approximately 7% to 70%. In addition, the clinical presentation appeared to be more severe and the duration of hospital stays longer. During the course of this thesis I also documented for the first time in Viet Nam Shigella spp. which harboured the plasmid-transferable drug resistance blaCTX-M genes. The occurrence of this plasmid-transferable gene may endanger the use of betalactams for this infection in the future. In a large randomised controlled trial, gatifloxacin, a new 8-methoxy-fluoroquinolone antibiotic proved comparable to ciprofloxacin for the treatment of acute dysentery including those caused by multiresistant Shigella. Although gatifloxacin has been associated with dysglycaemic side-effects in adults, this adverse effect was not observed in this study.

Complex collective states in a one-dimensional two-atom system

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a pair of identical two-level atoms interacting with a scalar field in one dimension, separated by a distance $x_{21}$. We restrict our attention to states where one atom is excited and the other is in the ground state, in symmetric or anti-symmetric combinations. We obtain exact collective decaying states, belonging to a complex spectral representation of the Hamiltonian. The imaginary parts of the eigenvalues give the decay rates, and the real parts give the average energy of the collective states. In one dimension there is strong interference between the fields emitted by the atoms, leading to long-range cooperative effects. The decay rates and the energy oscillate with the distance $x_{21}$. Depending on $x_{21}$, the decay rates will either decrease, vanish or increase as compared with the one-atom decay rate. We have sub- and super-radiance at periodic intervals. Our model may be used to study two-cavity electron wave-guides. The vanishing of the collective decay rates then suggests the possibility of obtaining stable configurations, where an electron is trapped inside the two cavities.

description: We derive the rates of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) over a wide range of redshifts using a complete sample from the IfA Deep Survey. This sample of more than 100 SNIa is the largest set ever collected from a single survey, and therefore uniquely powerful for a detailed supernova rate (SNR) calculation. Measurements of the SNR as a function of cosmological time offer a glimpse into the relationship between the star formation rate (SFR) and Type Ia SNR, and may provide evidence for the progenitor pathway. We observe a progressively increasing Type Ia SNR between redshifts z~0.3-0.8. The Type Ia SNR measurements are consistent with a short time delay (t~1 Gyr) with respect to the SFR, indicating a fairly prompt evolution of SNIa progenitor systems. We derive a best-fit value of SFR/SNR 580 h_70^(-2) M_solar/SNIa for the conversion factor between star formation and SNIa rates, as determined for a delay time of t~1 Gyr between the SFR and the Type Ia SNR. More complete measurements of the Type Ia SNR at z>1 are necessary to conclusively determine the SFR--SNR relationship and constrain SNIa evolutionary pathways.

description: Measurements of the semi-inclusive distribution of charged jets recoiling from a trigger hadron in pp and Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV are presented. This technique provides precise, data-driven subtraction of the large uncorrelated background in jet measurements. It uniquely enables the exploration of medium-induced modification of jet production and acoplanarity over wide phase space, including low transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{T}$) and large resolution parameter ($R$) jets. This proceeding reports the measurements of medium-induced jet energy redistribution through the comparison of trigger-normalized recoil jet yields in pp and Pb--Pb collisions, and for jets with different $R$.

description: The welfare cost of taxation of labour income is the economic loss to employees over and above the taxation revenue acquired by the government. This article estimates total welfare cost in 1986 and 1988 in New Zealand, and also estimates marginal welfare cost and related measures of marginal excess burden for a hypothetical marginal tax reform prior to and following the major discrete reforms of 1986. Estimated welfare costs are generally higher in the post-reform period despite a significant reduction in the progressivity of the statutory personal income tax schedule, the effect of the uniform goods and services tax introduced at that time serving to raise the weighted average effective marginal tax rate. As with recent estimates for the U.S., estimated welfare costs for New Zealand are sensitive to labour supply elasticity parameters, and are higher than for the U.S. Part of this difference, however, is shown to depend on our use of disaggregated income data.

description: High resolution, inelastic neutron scattering measurements on SrCu2(BO3)2 reveal the dispersion of the three single triplet excitations continuously across the (H,0) direction within its tetragonal basal plane. These measurements also show distinct Q dependencies for the single and multiple triplet excitations, and that these excitations are largely dispersionless perpendicular to this plane. The temperature dependence of the intensities of these excitations is well described as the complement of the dc-susceptibility of SrCu2(BO3)2.

description: In a recent paper in Decision Sciences, Barton proposes a method for finding a unique solution for the nucleolus. We argue that Barton's analysis is flawed because (1) the nucleolus is unique and (2) his proposed solution is inconsistent and ad hoc. Using Barton's own example, we reveal Barton's proposal to be a modified proportional method applied to the least core. Comparing the nucleolus with Barton's solution, we argue that his proposed method has little to recommend it, either conceptually or computationally.
The Output-Inflation Tradeoff in the United States: Evidence on the New Classical vs. New Keynesian Debate

description: The empirical examination of the output-inflation tradeoff in the United States over a 30 year period reveals that both aggregate uncertainty and average inflation were instrumental in shaping the output-inflation tradeoff. The division of the whole sample period into two distinct sets of subintervals suggests that the New Keynesian view according to which the output-inflation tradeoff is sensitive to changes in average inflation held only unambiguously in the latter part of the respective sample period. The empirical results suggest further that the tradeoff appears to have been sensitive only to changes in aggregate uncertainty in the early part of the sample period, a fact consistent with the New Classical view.

description: Based on quarterly data for Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, this paper tests the New Classical view against the extended New Keynesian view about the factors underlying the output-inflation tradeoff. The simple Lucas is amended to reflect the presence of serial correlation in nominal aggregate demand shocks. We find that the mean rate of inflation has a statistically significant negative effect on the coefficient of the anticipated component of nominal aggregate demand shocks in all four countries and a statistically significant negative effect on the coefficient of the unanticipated component in every country but Germany. Aggregate volatility affects the output-inflation tradeoff in two of the four countries. These findings are in line with the New Keynesian view but cast serious doubts on the New Classical view.

description: We study numerically temperature-shift and field-shift aging protocols on the 3-dimensional (3D) Ising Edwards-Anderson (EA) spin-glass (SG) model focusing on respectively the temperature-chaos nature and the stability under a static field of the SG phase. The results of the latter strongly support the droplet theory which predicts the instability of the SG phase under the field. They are also discussed in relation with the experimental studies.

Electric/magnetic reciprocity in premetric electrodynamics with and without magnetic charge, and the complex electromagnetic field

description: We extend an axiomatic approach to classical electrodynamics, which we developed recently, to the case of non-vanishing magnetic charge. Then two axioms, namely those of the existence of the Lorentz force (Axiom 2) and of magnetic flux conservation (Axiom 3) have to be generalized. Electric/magnetic reciprocity constitutes a guiding principle for this undertaking. The extension of the axioms can be implemented at a premetric stage, i.e., when metric and connection of spacetime don't play a role. Complex Riemann-Silberstein fields of the form $(E\pm i {\cal H},{\cal D}\pm i B)$ have a natural place in the theory, independent of the Hodge duality mapping defined by any particular metric.

description: We present the Final Analysis of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) 15 $μ$m observations, carried out with the ISOCAM instrument on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The data reduction method, known as LARI method, is based on a mathematical model of the detector's behaviour and was specifically designed for the detection of faint sources in ISO-CAM/PHOT data. The method is fully interactive and leads to very reliable and complete source lists. The resulting catalogue includes 1923 sources detected with $S/N > 5$ in the {0.5 -- 100 mJy} flux range and over an area of 10.85 {deg$^2$} split into four fields, making it the largest non-serendipitous extragalactic source catalogue obtained to date from ISO data. This paper presents the concepts underlying the data reduction method together with its latest enhancements. The data reduction process, the production and basic properties of the resulting catalogue are discussed. The catalogue quality is assessed by means of detailed simulations, optical identifications and comparison with previous analyses.

Probing the absorption of gamma-rays by IR radiation from the dusty torus in FSRQs with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

description: Within the classical emission model, where the emission region is placed within the broad line region (BLR), flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) were believed not to emit photons with energies above few tens of GeV because of the absorption with the optical-UV photons from the BLR. However, photons with observed energies up to about $300 \, \rm GeV$ have been detected for few FSRQs, whose most iconic example is PKS 1441+25 at redshift $z = 0.94$. The most conservative explanation for these observations is that the emission occurs at distances comparable to the size of the dusty torus. In this case, absorption of high-energy gamma-ray photons for energies above $200-300 \, {\rm GeV}$ is dominated by the interaction with infrared radiation emitted by the torus. We investigate if current observational data about FSRQs in flaring state can give us information about: (i) the importance of the torus absorption and (ii) the properties of the torus i.e. its temperature and its geometry. We find that present data do not arrive at energies where the torus influence is prominent and as a result it is currently hardly possible to infer torus properties from observations. However, with dedicated simulations, we demonstrate that observations with the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be able to constrain the torus parameters (temperature and geometry).

description: If You Care is a Public Service Announcements (PSA) package that raises awareness about specific autoimmune diseases (which are often misunderstood.) The disabilities accompanied by those autoimmune diseases may seem invisible by the people surrounding the patient. The main target audience for the PSAs are people directly interacting with the patients both at home and in the workplace. The goal is to create understanding and empathy between the patients and their loved ones, in order to cater for their daily needs both physically and emotionally. Essentially, PSAs are based on personal experiences. Link to website: ifyoucare.net

description: Indore city (Coordinates: 22°43′0″N 75°50′50″E) is situated in Madhya Pradesh and it has several green spaces constructed and maintained by Indore Municipal Corporation. A yearly survey was conducted in 2018 by adopting line transect method in four sites i.e. Meghdoot Garden, Nehru Park, Lalbagh and Pipliyapala Regional Park. The aim of the present study was to estimate the percent occurrence of observed bird species on the basis of their sightings; they were marked as Common, Uncommon, Occasional and Rare. The results showed that very few species were rare because these green spaces provide perfect environment for these species to develop and thrive in these environments.
