description: 98. Java Giant Mastiff Bat Otomops formosus French: Tadaride de Java / German: Java-Riesenbulldogfledermaus / Spanish: Otomops de Java Other common names: Java Free-tailed Bat, Java Mastiff Bat, Javan Mastiff Bat Taxonomy. Otomopsformosus Chasen, 1939, Tjibadak [= Cibadak], West Java Province, Indonesia. This species is monotypic. Distribution. Endemic to West Java Province, Indonesia, known only from two localities, Cibadak and Cibodas, in the Bogor area just S ofJakarta. Descriptive notes. Head-body 79-86 mm, tail 30-43 mm, ear ¢. 30 mm, forearm 59-60 mm; weight 26-27 g. Fur is short and velvety, deep blackish brown on head and back, paler on crown, with a distinct grayishbuff mantle with grizzled margins across neck and upper back; underparts are pale brown. Ears are large and finely covered with small horny points. Skin on forearm and ear membraneis furred. Habitat. Two males were observed (one collected) in a nesting hole of a barbet or woodpecker, in the dead limb of a rubbertree at Cibadak, at 400 m altitude, in 1938, and two males were collected from a tree hollow at Cibodas, at 1450 m altitude, in 1990. Cibadak now forms part of the urban area of Bogorcity; at the time of collection it was humid tropical forest and rubber plantations. Cibodas retains a large botanical garden and national park and the remaining habitat is volcanic, submontane, humid tropical forest. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Java Giant Mastiff Bats have been found roosting in tree hollows. Movements, Home range and Social organization. TheJava Giant Mastiff Bat has been collected only twice, on both occasions as a pair of males that were found roosting together. Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List, because it is known from only four specimens, and has not been recorded since 1990. The number of mature individuals and threats are unknown. In addition to habitat loss, the species may be threatened by collecting, with taxidermized specimens purported to be Java Giant Mastiff Bats frequently listed for sale on online stores.

description: The Nouméa Accord of 1998 proposed a consensually negotiated interim governing framework in New Caledonia after intercommunal violence in the 1980s. Its final stages included one, and potentially up to three, referenda on the exact future status of the country. The first two referenda, held in 2018 and 2020, resulted in slim majorities against independence, but had stronger showings for independence than observers expected. The third referendum, originally planned for 2022, was rushed ahead to 2021. Kanak independence parties were experiencing a COVID-19 pandemic crisis and thus boycotted the referendum, resulting in an abstention rate of 56 per cent. Part 1 of this In Brief miniseries provides some background to the Nouméa Accord and reflects on the third referendum controversy. Part 2 examines the possibilities being discussed for New Caledonia’s future political status.

description: In December 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, New Caledonians were faced with a third referendum provided for by the Nouméa Accord. Part 1 of this In Brief miniseries covered that controversial vote, brought forward by President Macron, which was held despite a boycott by independence parties. The result was that 96.5 per cent of those who voted were against independence, yet 56 per cent of eligible voters abstained. Part 2 discusses the next phase in resolving New Caledonia’s political future. Can New Caledonians reach a new accord or revise the 1998 document? Also analysed is the role of Polynesian migrants, whose interests are represented by the Oceanian Awakening (OA) political party.

description: Fatigue refers to the changes in material properties caused by repeatedly applied loads. It has been widely studied for, e.g., construction materials, but much less has been done on soft materials. Here, we characterize the fatigue dynamics of a colloidal gel. Fatigue is induced by large amplitude oscillatory stress (LAOStress), and the local displacements of the gel are measured through high-frequency ultrasonic imaging. We show that fatigue eventually leads to rupture and fluidization. We evidence four successive steps associated with these dynamics: (i) the gel first remains solid, (ii) it then slides against the walls, (iii) the bulk of the sample becomes heterogeneous and displays solid-fluid coexistence, and (iv) it is finally fully fluidized. It is possible to homogeneously scale the duration of each step with respect to the stress oscillation amplitude $σ_0$. The data are compatible with both exponential and power-law scalings with $σ_0$, which hints at two possible interpretations in terms of delayed yielding in terms activated processes or of the Basquin law. Surprisingly, we find that the model parameters behave nonmonotonically as we change the oscillation frequency and/or the gel concentration.

Mantled Giant Masuft Bat Otomops secundus French: Tadaride a cape / German: Mantel-Riesenbulldogfledermaus / Spanish: Otomops con capa Other common names: Mantled Free-tailed Bat, Mantled Mastiff Bat Taxonomy. Otomops secundus Hayman in Laurie, 1952, “Tapu, Upper Ramu River Plateau [Madang Province], NE. New Guinea [= Papua New Guinea].” This species is monotypic. Distribution. Endemic to Papua New Guinea, known only from three localities, including Tapu in Madang Province, Kimi Creek Camp in Eastern Highlands Province, and Hohola, Port Moresby. Descriptive notes. Head—body 70-71 mm, tail 36-37 mm, ear c. 24 mm, hindfoot c¢. 10 mm, forearm ¢. 58 mm. The Mantled Giant Mastiff Bat is one of the largest molossid bats in Papua New Guinea. It is much larger than the Papuan Giant Mastiff Bat (Otomops papuensis), comparable in size only to the New Guinea Free-tailed Bat (Austronomus kuboriensis), from which it can easily be distinguished by its mantle and massive wrinkled ears. It has dark chocolate-brown fur with a distinct buff-gray mantle across shoulders and back; there is a narrow line of white fur along upper side of wing junction, and a white patch of hair at base of each ear. Ears are huge, extending well beyond nose and are connected by a membrane. Inner and outer toes have stiff brush-like hairs for grooming. Habitat. The Mantled Giant Mastiff Bat was presumed to live in mediumto high-elevation tropical forests at ¢.1800-2000 m above sea level until a road kill specimen from Hohola, a suburb of Port Moresby, was discovered; this specimen greatly widened the known altitudinal range, down to sea level, and the habitat range, from the urban monsoonal savanna of Port Moresby to mid-montane forest of the upper Ramu Plateau. Food and Feeding. The Mantled Giant Mastiff Bat is thought to forage in open areas or above the forest canopy, and to feed on aerial invertebrates. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. The Mantled Giant Mastiff Bat is presumed to be nocturnal. One specimen was shot “from a height” as it flew rapidly and directly out of a forest at night. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List, because it is known only from four specimens from three locations. The number of mature individuals and threats are unknown. Bibliography.

description: Viral pathogenesis studies in mice have relied on markers of severe systemic disease,
rather than clinically relevant measures, to evaluate respiratory virus infection; thus confounding
connections to human disease. Here, whole-body plethysmography was used to
directly measure changes in pulmonary function during two respiratory viral infections. This
methodology closely tracked with traditional pathogenesis metrics, distinguished both virusand
dose-specific responses, and identified long-term respiratory changes following both
SARS-CoV and Influenza A Virus infection. Together, the work highlights the utility of examining
respiratory function following infection in order to fully understand viral pathogenesis.

description: We define a generalization of scalar fields with non-canonical kinetic term which we call exotic k-essence or briefly, exotik. These fields are generated by the global description of cosmological models with two interactive fluids in the dark sector and under certain conditions, they correspond to usual k-essences. The formalism is applied to the cases of constant potential and of inverse square potential and also we develop the purely exotik version for the modified holographic Ricci type of dark energy (MHR), where the equations of state are not constant. With the kinetic function $F=1+mx$ and the inverse square potential we recover, through the interaction term, the identification between k-essences and quintessences of exponential potential, already known for Friedmann-Robertson-Walker and Bianchi type I geometries. Worked examples are shown that include the self-interacting MHR and also models with crossing of the phantom divide line (PDL).

description: This study examines how individuals at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill engage in certain resource retrieval actions when searching for peer-reviewed scholarly literature. A campus-wide survey was distributed to students, faculty, and staff of various disciplines in order to collect information and opinions on specific retrieval methods. 
Responses suggest that resource retrieval actions are influenced by the user’s status, their discipline affiliation, and the reason for their information need. The data also shows that the majority of UNC-CH patrons do not know how to request an electronic, peer-reviewed
resource through the Library system. This study shows the need for more comprehensive outreach and education regarding electronic resources, especially as the Library continues to navigate new scholarly communication environments.

description: This study explores how, how often, and where players of the tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons search for information. Over 2,500 participants were surveyed about what information they sought, what resources they used, and why.

While participants’ purposeful information seeking was fairly similar to habits described in other studies of everyday life information seeking, participants had strong opinions about what resources were missing from the realm of existing D&D resources and what was most important to them when selecting a resource for use. Among the most common concerns were ease of access, cost of access (both temporal and monetary), validity of information, consolidation of information, and the feel of the resource.

description: We argue that the exponential relation $g_{μν} = \bar{g}_{μρ}\big(\mathrm{e}^h\big)^ρ_ν$ is the most natural metric parametrization since it describes geodesics that follow from the basic structure of the space of metrics. The corresponding connection is derived, and its relation to the Levi-Civita connection and the Vilkovisky-DeWitt connection is discussed. We address the impact of this geometric formalism on quantum gravity applications. In particular, the exponential parametrization is appropriate for constructing covariant quantities like a reparametrization invariant effective action in a straightforward way. Furthermore, we reveal an important difference between Euclidean and Lorentzian signatures: Based on the derived connection, any two Euclidean metrics can be connected by a geodesic, while this does not hold for the Lorentzian case.

description: Unlike the cases of gain by registration, the acquisition of immovable property is accepted as unregistered acquisition in cases of transfer of commercial enterprise and merger of commercial partnerships. But there is conflict in the commercial and civil law doctrines over when property can be acquired. Although there is a clear provision on this issue in the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102, there is still no consensus in the doctrine. The study is especially examined by taking into account his views in the commercial and civil law doctrine and the practice of the Supreme Court. For this reason, it is explained that in the case of the transfer of the commercial enterprise and the merger of the commercial partnerships, the acquisition of the immovable property will be known at what moment. The place of this institution in Turkish and Azerbaijani law is also evaluated within the framework of the results reached and current developments concerning the subject.

description: Earthworms, belonging to the phylum Annelida, are crucial components of terrestrial ecosystems. These segmented invertebrates are renowned for their role in soil aeration, nutrient cycling, and organic matter decomposition. With over 7,000 species identified globally, earthworms exhibit diverse morphological characteristics and habitat preferences, thriving in moist, nutrient-dense environments. Their lifestyle involves burrowing and feeding on decaying organic material, which significantly contributes to soil fertility and structure. The presence and diversity of earthworm species within a given habitat are often indicative of soil health and ecological balance.

description: The excitation of surface plasmons in magnetic nano-structures can strongly influence their magneto-optical properties. Here, we use photoemission electron microscopy to map the spatial distribution of the electric near-field on a nano-patterned magnetic surface that supports plasmon polaritons. By using different photon energies and polarization states of the incident light we reveal that the electric near-field is either concentrated in spots forming a hexagonal lattice with the same symmetry as the Ni nano-pattern or in stripes oriented along the $Γ$-K direction of the lattice and perpendicular to the polarization direction. We show that the polarization-dependent near-field enhancement on the patterned surface is directly correlated to both the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons on the patterned surface as well as the enhancement of the polar magneto-optical Kerr effect.

Creators: name: Hill, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This paper examines how the modern ubiquity of digital search engines and information-sharing are driving the evolution of research and reference librarians in today’s academic libraries, with particular focus on how research and reference librarians have refined and adapted their professional practices in recent years to make a compelling case for their continued relevance in the modern information landscape of the 21st century. I highlight “embedded librarianship” and “knotworking” as two models of librarianship that could be uniquely suited to the needs and habits of today’s user-base, analyzing both through the lens of collaborative learning—suggesting interdisciplinary collaboration as a potential strategy for combatting the decreased usage of research and reference services. Through an email survey distributed to a sampling of professional research and reference librarians, I attempt to gauge modern academic librarians’ attitudes towards this potential evolutionary course in their field.

description: The quasi-two-dimensional nickel chalcogenides $TlNi_2Se_2$ is a newly discovered superconductor. We have performed optical spectroscopy study on $TlNi_2Se_2$ single crystals over a broad frequency range at various temperatures. The overall optical reflectance spectra are similar to those observed in its isostructure $BaNi_2As_2$. Both the suppression in $R(ω)$ and the peaklike feature in $σ_1(ω)$ suggest the progressive formation of a pseudogap feature in the midinfrared range with decreasing temperatures, which might be originated from the dynamic local fluctuation of charge-density-wave (CDW) instability. We propose that the CDW instability in $TlNi_2Se_2$ is driven by the saddle points mechanism, due to the existence of van Hove singularity very close to the Fermi energy.

Faculty Use of Interlibrary Loan Services and Their Confidence That Their Information Needs Can Be Met
Creators: name: McGraw, Joseph
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This study describes a mixed methods survey of faculty in ten departments at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. The survey was conducted to determine the level to which faculty are aware of Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services, the level of satisfaction in ILL services, their confidence in ILL services, and where they turn, other than ILL, to find resources. The study discusses the findings in relation to journal cancellations related to the serials crisis.

Faculty are very aware that UNC-CH libraries offer ILL services and a large majority of faculty have used ILL services. Faculty view ILL services as satisfactory and are confident that ILL can fulfill their needs. When faculty search elsewhere for resources, they most often turn to internet search engines and Google Scholar. Explanations for these findings, drawn from qualitative portions of the survey, are discussed.

description: Magneto-structural phase transition in FeRh epitaxial layers was studied optically. It is shown that the transition between the low-temperature antiferromagnetic phase and the high-temperature ferromagnetic phase is accompanied by a rather large change of the optical response in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges. This phenomenon was used to measure the phase transition temperature in FeRh films with thicknesses from 6 to 100 nm and it was observed that the hysteretic transition region broadens significantly in the thinner films.

Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbon from Flower Waste Biomass for Methylene blue Removal
Creators: name: Getu Maru
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Activated carbon (AC) can be used as an adsorbent to remove pollutants from waste water streams. 520 kg flower biomass waste is generated daily at a single floriculture industry in Ethiopia. Despite AC has been produced from different lignocellulosic biomass waste, utilizing Flower waste biomass (FWB) as a precursor to produce AC has an advantage of being new raw material, easily available, renewable precursor, and can be a way of reducing environmental pollution. This study presents synthesis of AC from FWB by chemical activation method using ZnCl2 and removal of methylene blue (MB) using the as-prepared AC. The parameters in the study were impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature, and carbonization time. Higher BET surface area of 750 m2 g -1 , pore volume of 1.91 cm3 g -1 and pore diameter of 1.89 nmwas obtained at 1:1 impregnation ratio, 500 °C carbonization temperature, and 1 hr of carbonization time. Effect of adsorption dosage, PH, initial dye concentration, and contact time on percentage removal of MB were studied. Maximum removal of MB was recorded at 0.05 g adsorbent dosage, 60 min contact time, PH of 10, and initial dye concentration of 10 mg L-1 . Kinetics and isotherm studies showed that the adsorption mechanism of MB using FWB based AC follows pseudo second order while both Langmuir and Freundlich model well fitted the adsorption data with maximum removal efficiency of 94.2% and adsorption capacity of 22.39 mg g-1 . FWB can be a good precursor for AC production and can be used to remove MB from wastewater.
Onset of fingering instability in a finite slice of adsorbed solute

description: The effect of a linear adsorption isotherm on the onset of fingering instability in a miscible displacement in the application of liquid chromatography, pollutant contamination in aquifers etc. is investigated. Such fingering instability on the solute dynamics arise due to the miscible viscus fingering (VF) between the displacing fluid and sample solvent. We use a Fourier pseudo-spectral method to solve the initial value problem appeared in the linear stability analysis. The present linear stability analysis is of generic type and it captures the early time diffusion dominated region which was never expressible through the quasi-steady state analysis (QSSA). In addition, it measures the onset of instability more accurately than the QSSA methods. It is shown that the onset time depends non-monotonically on the retention parameter of the solute adsorption. This qualitative influence of the retention parameter on the onset of instability resemblances with the results obtained from direct numerical simulations of the nonlinear equations. Moreover, the present linear stability method helps for an appropriate characterisation of the linear and the nonlinear regimes of miscible VF instability and also can be useful for the fluid flow problems with the unsteady base-state.

Automating the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS): An Initial Investigation Based on Error Reports in Radiation Oncology
Creators: name: Patterson, James W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This study constitutes an evaluation of two datasets of error reports from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine's Department of Radiation Oncology. These errors were reported in accord with the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), using HFACS Level 1 and HFACS Level 2 codes.

Keywords from an initial dataset of 58 reports, a list of HFACS theory keywords, and a list of related thesaurus words were used to develop a dictionary of signal words. These words are related to the HFACS Level 1 code for "Condition of Operator" and the HFACS Level 2 code for "Inattention-Distraction." These words were evaluated for relevance to the "Inattention-Distraction" category, both at face value, and in the context of "Inattention-Distraction" reports from the initial dataset of 58 reports. The signal words were then evaluated a second time in the context of a second dataset of 3459 reports, for confirmation of contextual relevance. The findings suggest that while more data is needed for future research, findings could lead to the development of an automated and more user-friendly HFACS reporting system at UNC School of Medicine's Department of Radiation Oncology.
Deciding Circular-Arc Graph Isomorphism in Parameterized Logspace

description: We compute a canonical circular-arc representation for a given circular-arc (CA) graph which implies solving the isomorphism and recognition problem for this class. To accomplish this we split the class of CA graphs into uniform and non-uniform ones and employ a generalized version of the argument given by Köbler et al (2013) that has been used to show that the subclass of Helly CA graphs can be canonized in logspace. For uniform CA graphs our approach works in logspace and in addition to that Helly CA graphs are a strict subset of uniform CA graphs. Thus our result is a generalization of the canonization result for Helly CA graphs. In the non-uniform case a specific set of ambiguous vertices arises. By choosing the parameter to be the cardinality of this set the obstacle can be solved by brute force. This leads to an O(k + log n) space algorithm to compute a canonical representation for non-uniform and therefore all CA graphs.

A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of Addis Ababa University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Science in Economics (Economic Policy Analysis) in the School of Economics
Creators: name: Teweldebrehan Tesfay
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: The study empirically investigates the relative effectiveness of fiscal and

monetary policies on economic growth in Ethiopia. With the objective of finding

out the relative strength of monetary and fiscal policies on economic growth, the

study used an unrestricted vector autoregressions (VARs) framework, based on

the St. Louis equation, to compute variance decompositions (VDCs) and impulse

response functions (IRFs). Neither government expenditure nor money supply

(M2) was found to be statistically significant in the co-integrating equations

estimated suggesting that the policy variables are neutral in the long run. The

results derived from the VDCs and IRFs imply that monetary policy alone has a

significantly positive impact on GDP growth in Ethiopia. However, the impact of

fiscal policy on GDP growth remains broadly insignificant. The outcome of this

study, thus, supports the views of the proponents of the St. Louis Model that

monetary policy is relatively more effective than fiscal policy in stimulating

economic activity.

description: Iron-based superconductors have been considered to be very promising in high-field applications, for which multifilamentary wire and tape conductors with high mechanical strength are essential. In this work, 7-,19- and 114-filament Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 (Sr-122) superconducting wires and tapes with silver as matrix and iron as outer reinforcing sheath were produced by the ex situ powder-in-tube method. The mass densities of Sr-122 phase in 7- and 19-filament conductors were investigated by microhardness characterization, which revealed a positive correlation between hardness and transport critical current density (Jc) in round wires and flat tapes with various thicknesses. For Sr-122/Ag/Fe 114-filament conductors, in which an average cross-sectional filament size smaller than 50 microns was achieved by drawing into round wires of 2.0 mm in diameter, the transport Jc can be significantly enhanced by flat rolling, as for the 7- and 19-filament conductors. The highest transport Jc of the 7-,19- and 114-filament Sr-122/Ag/Fe tapes reached 1.4x10^4, 8.4x10^3 and 6.3x10^3 A cm-2 (4.2 K, 10 T), respectively, showing a Jc degradation with the increase of filament number. This Jc degradation can be ascribed to the sausage effect for filaments in longitudinal direction and the grain refinement in these very fine filaments.
