description: The phenomena of synchronization and nontrivial collective behavior are studied in a model of coupled chaotic maps with random global coupling. The mean field of the system is coupled to a fraction of elements randomly chosen at any given time. It is shown that the reinjection of the mean field to a fraction of randomly selected elements can induce synchronization and nontrivial collective behavior in the system. The regions where these collective states emerge on the space of parameters of the system are calculated.

description: The spatial organization of T cell receptors (TCRs) correlates with membrane-associated signal amplification, dispersion, and regulation during T cell activation. Despite its potential clinical importance, quantitative analysis of the spatial arrangement of TCRs from standard fluorescence images remains difficult. Here, we report Statistical Classification Analyses of Membrane Protein Images or SCAMPI as a technique capable of analyzing the spatial arrangement of TCRs on the plasma membrane of T cells. We leveraged medical image analysis techniques that utilize pixel-based values. We transformed grayscale pixel values from fluorescence images of TCRs into estimated model parameters of partial differential equations. The estimated model parameters enabled an accurate classification using linear discrimination techniques, including Fisher Linear Discriminant (FLD) and Logistic Regression (LR). In a proof-of-principle study, we modeled and discriminated images of fluorescently tagged TCRs from Jurkat T cells on uncoated cover glass surfaces (Null) or coated cover glass surfaces with either positively charged poly-L-lysine (PLL) or TCR cross-linking anti-CD3 antibodies (OKT3). Using 80 training images and 20 test images per class, our statistical technique achieved 85% discrimination accuracy for both OKT3 versus PLL and OKT3 versus Null conditions. The run time of image data download, model construction, and image discrimination was 21.89 s on a laptop computer, comprised of 20.43 s for image data download, 1.30 s on the FLD-SCAMPI analysis, and 0.16 s on the LR-SCAMPI analysis. SCAMPI represents an alternative approach to morphology-based qualifications for discriminating complex patterns of membrane proteins conditioned on a small sample size and fast runtime. The technique paves pathways to characterize various physiological and pathological conditions using the spatial organization of TCRs from patient T cells.

description: Nanographene oxide (nGO)-mediated hyperthermia has been increasingly investigated as a localised, minimally invasive anticancer therapeutic approach. Near InfraRed (NIR) light irradiation for inducing hyperthermia is particularly attractive, because biological systems mostly lack chromophores that absorb in this spectral window, facilitating the selective heating and destruction of cells which have internalized the NIR absorbing-nanomaterials. However, little is known about biological effects accompanying nGO-mediated hyperthermiaat cellular and molecular levels.In this work, well-characterised pegylatednGOsheets with an hydrodynamic size of 300 nm were incubated with human Saos-2 osteosarcoma cells for 24h and their incorporation verified by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. No effect on cell viability was observed after nGO incorporation by Saos-2 cells. However, a proliferation delay was observed due to the presence of nGO sheets in the cytoplasm.1H NMR metabolomicswas employed to screen for changes in the metabolic profile of cells, as this could help to improve understanding of celular responses to nanomaterials and provide new endpoint markers of effect.Cells incorporating nGO sheets showed noticeable changes in 10 metabolites compared to control cells, including decreased levels of several amino acids, taurine and creatine and increased levels of phosphocholine and uridine/adenosine nucleotides. After NIR irradiation, cells showed decreases in glutamate and uridine nulceotides, together with increases in glycerophosphocholine and adenosine monophosphate. Overall, this study has shown that the celular metabolome sensitively responded to nGO exposure and nGO-mediated hyperthermia and that NMR metabolomics is a powerful tool toinvestigate treatment responses.

description: The design of accurate helium-solute interaction potentials for the simulation of chemically complex molecules solvated in superfluid helium has long been a cumbersome task due to the rather weak but strongly anisotropic nature of the interactions. We show that this challenge can be met by using a combination of an effective pair potential for the He-He interactions and a flexible high-dimensional neural network potential (NNP) for describing the complex interaction between helium and the solute in a pairwise additive manner. This approach yields an excellent agreement with a mean absolute deviation as small as 0.04 kJ/mol for the interaction energy between helium and both, hydronium and Zundel cations compared to CCSD(T) reference calculations with an energetically converged basis set. The construction and improvement of the potential can be performed in a highly automated way, which opens the door for applications to a variety of reactive molecules to study the effect of solvation on the solute as well as the solute-induced structuring of the solvent. Furthermore, we show that this NNP approach yields very convincing agreement with the CCSD(T) reference for properties like many-body spatial and radial distribution functions. This holds for the microsolvation of the protonated water monomer and dimer by a few helium atoms up to their solvation in bulk helium as obtained from path integral simulations at about 1 K.

description: Bangladesh faces various types of natural hazards from its birth due to geographical location and physiographic conditions. Flood is the most common event among them. Northeastern part of Bangladesh faces flash flood almost every year with large scale of damage. Tanguar haor, (a famous Ramsar site of Bangladesh) located in Tahirpur upazila of Sunamgonj district. This wetland adjacent area is the most vulnerable zone in terms of flash flood hazard. About more than 80%, people are the direct victim of this hazard. The aim of this study was to assess the risk and resilience status of flash flood at community level. A risk and resilience assessment matrix leads to fulfill the assessment where only primary data were used. A comparative study between those statuses is computed based on Pearson correlation of co-efficient analysis that presents the difference of risk and resilience of the study area that helps to realize the emergence of flash flood risk reduction. The findings of this study will be a pathway for the policy makers, local administrators for the development of sustainable community level risk management, policy-making and its implementations.

Referred specimens —Scale fragments were collected from BC II section at six levels from 430.5’ to 513’ (131.2- 156.4 m): Roberts Mountains Formation.
Remarks —Most remains are conjoined tesserae such as the three small irregular tesserae from level 458.67’ (Suppl. 1, fig. 11). Some (Suppl. 1, figs. 7, 14, 18) resemble traquairaspid remains with slender oak-leaf pattern tubercles: traquairaspids typically range from Přidolí to early Lochkovian. One plate from level 468’ (Suppl. 1, fig. 12) is pteraspid- or poraspid-like, typical of early Lochkovian elsewhere (e.g., Turner et al. 2017). Turner and Murphy (1988, fig. 1.1-6, 8-15, 24) described heterostracan microremains from the Lochkovian Simpson Park section, Nevada. Parkes (1995) also identified heterostracan remains in two levels of BC II (402’, 446’).
As yet, there is no major review of heterostracan dermal scales; a handbook and major description of Cornwallis Island fauna are awaited (D.K. Elliott pers. comm. 2021, Thorsteinsson and Elliott 2022).

description: We propose a one-parameter theory for gauge mediation of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking. The spectrum of SUSY particles such as squarks and sleptons in the SUSY standard-model and the dynamics of SUSY-breaking sector are, in principle, determined only by one parameter in the theory, that is, the mass of messengers. Above the messenger threshold all gauge coupling and Yukawa coupling constants in the SUSY-breaking sector are on the infrared fixed point. We find that the present theory may predict a split spectrum of the standard-model SUSY particles, m_{gaugino} < m_{sfermion}, where m_{gaugino} and m_{sfermion} are SUSY-breaking masses for gauginos and squarks/sleptons, respectively.

description: Here we propose a method of the excitation of perpendicular standing spin waves (PSSWs) of different orders in an optomagnonic microcavity by ultrashort laser pulses. The microcavity is formed by a magnetic dielectric film surrounded by dielectric non-magnetic Bragg mirrors. Optical cavity modes in the magnetic layer provide concentration and strongly non-uniform distribution of the optical power over the layer thickness and therefore induce the effective field of the inverse Faraday effect also spatially non-uniform. It results in excitation of PSSWs. PSSWs whose wavevector is closest to the wavevector characterizing distribution of the inverse Faraday effect field are excited most efficiently. Consequently, a key advantage of this approach is a selectivity of the PSSW excitation which allows to launch PSSWs of required orders only. All-optical operation of the optomagnonic cavities opens new possibilities for their applications for quantum technologies.

description: The recent discovery of the ferroelectric splay nematic phase has opened the door to experimental investigation of one of the most searched liquid crystal phases in decades, with high expectations for future applications. However, at this moment, there are more questions than answers. In this work, we examine the formation and structure of large polar nematic domains of the ferroelectric splay nematic material RM734 in planar liquid crystals cells with different aligning agents and specifications. We observe that confining surfaces have a strong influence over the formation of different types of domains, resulting in various twisted structures of the nematic director. For those cells predominantly showing mm-scale domains, we investigate the optical and second harmonic generation switching behaviour under applications of electric fields with a special focus on in-plane fields perpendicular to the confinement media rubbing direction. In order to characterize the underlying structure, the polar optical switching behaviour is reproduced using a simplified model together with Berreman calculations.

description: The upward trend of consumption of processed food must not dim the demand of taking healthy and safe food among population. Thus, six popular commercial brands of instant mango drinks powder of Bangladesh were targeted to investigate some quality parameters (proximate compositions, mineral contents and bioactive compounds). Mineral contents and bioactive compounds of instant mango drinks powder were determined by using biochemical analyzer and UV-visible spectrophotometer, respectively. Results of proximate analysis showed that moisture content, ash content, fiber content, and carbohydrate content of different brands of instant mango drinks powder ranged from 0.21 to 0.25%, 0.45 to 0.55%, 0.10 to 0.40%, and 98.83 to 99.21%, respectively, whereas energy value ranged from 395.32 to 396.84 Kcal/100g. Sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, phosphorus, iron and vitamin-C were also determined, which showed the significant different (p<0.05) values among different brands. Total anthocyanin content (TAC), Total flavonoid content (TFC), Total phenolic content (TPC), Antioxidant capacity were determined as bioactive compounds. Results of bioactive compounds analysis also showed that the samples were significantly different (p<0.05). Although, the quality varied from brand to brand, but all the samples could be good source of vitamin-C, carbohydrate and energy. Furthermore, health concerning issues can be improved by focusing the bioactive compounds of commercially available instant drinks powder.

description: This study is based on the quality of wastewater from Hawassa University surroundings, which was assessed to determine its suitability for irrigation purposes during 2019. Grab samples of influent and the treated water were taken for assessing for quality parameters. The study revealed that the treated water could be used for irrigation purpose with some moderate restrictions. Even though Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) permit to irrigate fruit trees and fodder crops, there is a risk of soil degradation due to high value of Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR). Results also indicated that carbonate, potassium and phosphate exceeded the specified limits for wastewater reuse in agriculture. Despite increased nutritive elements, continuous use of treated sewage water for irrigation will make the soil acidic. Analysis of soil parameters indicated that there is an increase in nitrogen, phosphate and potassium nutrient levels considerably to benefit crop production but increase in soil EC is a serious concern.

description: We measure the genus of the galaxy distribution in two-dimensional slices of the SDSS-III BOSS catalog to constrain the cosmological parameters governing the expansion history of the Universe. The BOSS catalogs are divided into twelve concentric shells over the redshift range $0.25 < z < 0.6$ and we repeatedly measure the genus from the two-dimensional galaxy density fields, each time varying the cosmological parameters used to infer the distance-redshift relation to the shells. We also indirectly reconstruct the two-dimensional genus amplitude using the three-dimensional genus measured from SDSS Main Galaxy Sample with galaxies at low redshift $z < 0.12$. We combine the low- and high-redshift measurements, finding the cosmological model which minimizes the redshift evolution of the genus amplitude, using the fact that this quantity should be conserved. Being a distance measure, the test is sensitive to the matter density parameter ($Ω_{\rm m}$) and equation of state of dark energy ($w_{\rm de}$). We find a constraint of $w_{\rm de} = -1.05^{+0.13}_{-0.12}$, $Ω_{\rm m} = 0.303 \pm 0.036$ after combining the high- and low-redshift measurements and combining with Planck CMB data. Higher redshift data and combining data sets at low redshift will allow for stronger constraints.

description: Sumithion is an organophosphorus insecticide, which is widely used in aquaculture ponds for eradication of aquatic insect (mainly tiger bug) prior to release of larvae. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of an organophosphorus pesticide, sumithion on histoarchitecture of liver and kidney in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) during the period from July to December 2016. It was carried out with four treatments, each with two replications. i.e., ponds with no sumithion (T0), with 0.025ppm sumithion (T1), 0.050 ppm sumithion (T2) and 0.100 ppm sumithion (T3). The water quality parameters, such as pH, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, free CO2, nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), phosphatephosphorus (PO4-P) were not affected by sub lethal doses of sumithion but the values were fluctuated significantly in most of the cases between the ponds throughout the study period. In case of histoarchitecture of liver and kidney, normal structure of liver and kidney cells were observed in the controlled and treated fish. Through the histological analysis of liver, small vacuole, enlarge lumen space of hepatopancreas and disrupted hepatopancreas were found in T1. Disrupted hepatopancreas, increasement intracellular space, regeneration of hepatic cell and hemorrhage were observed in T2. Moreover, enlarge lumen space of hepatopancreas, degenerated hepatic cell, disrupted hepatopancreas were observed in T3. After the histological analysis of kidney, degenerated renal corpuscle, enlargement of blood vessel, disrupted hematopoetic cell were observed in T1. Ruptured collecting duct, large vacuole, enlarge intracellular space were observed in T2. Furthermore, enlarge bowman’s space, degenerated hematopoetic cell hemorrhage and ruptured distal tubule disrupted, enlarge intracellular space and necrosis were observed in T3. The present investigation sufficiently emphasizes that sumithion has adverse effects on the major organs like liver and kidney.

description: Use of conserved forages and proper ration formulation has great potential to bridge the gap in dairy nutrition and reduce seasonal variations in milk yield. This study determined the effects of various fodder and ration formulation interventions on dairy farm performance in North Rift, Eastern, and Central regions of Kenya. Seventy-two farms were purposively selected as participating farms and assigned into six groups of twelve as follows: two groups on silage production, two groups on ration formulation, and two control groups having similar production systems and in the same geographical locations as the other groups. Data on daily dry matter feed intake and milk yield were recorded while laboratory analysis was done to determine milk butterfat and protein content. The data was analyzed using a multilinear regression model to assess the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The results showed that farmers using feed rationing with advisory services had the highest average daily milk yield (19.7 kg/cow) compared to maize train silage (16.8 kg/cow) and those with silage support from Service Provider Enterprises (SPE) (13.3 kg/cow) (P<0.05). Daily dry matter feed intake/cow varied significantly across the interventions as well as feed utilization efficiency (P<0.05). Milk butterfat and milk protein content did not differ (P>0.05) across the interventions. In conclusion, use of maize train silage and feed rationing with advisory services increased milk yield and reduced seasonal milk fluctuation.
Oscillator strengths for photoabsorption and photoionization processes of feron and NO₂ molecules
Creators: name: Zhang, Wenzhu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Absolute photoabsorption differential oscillator strengths (cross sections) for N Is and 0 Is inner shell excitation and ionization of N0₂ have been derived from the presently obtained high resolution electron energy loss spectra using dipole (e,e) spectroscopy. The N0₂ inner shell differential oscillator strength spectra are in good agreement with multichannel quantum defect theory calculations in both excitation energies and (differential) oscillator strengths. The N0₂ spectra were interpreted with the aid of the calculations. A resonance present in both the N0₂ N Is and 0 Is ionization continua was identified as excitation to an unbound molecular orbital. A consideration of the present spectra for N0₂ and earlier spectra for other molecules showed that additional prominent structures observed in previously reported N0₂ inner shell photoabsorption spectra obtained using synchrotron radiation were due to the presence of impurities. Absolute photoabsorption differential oscillator strengths for the valence shells of CF₄, CF₃CI, CF₂Cl₂ and CFCI₃ have been measured in the equivalent photon energy range up to 200 eV using dipole (e,e) spectroscopy. The present results are in good agreement with earlier reported optical measurements and electron impact measurements. The photoionization efficiencies and also the photoion branching ratios have been determined for CF₄, CF₃CI, CF₂C1₂ and CFCI₃ from time of flight mass spectra using dipole (e,e+ion) coincidence spectroscopy at equivalent photon energies ranging up to 80 eV. Absolute partial differential oscillator strength spectra for the molecular and dissociative photoions have been derived. The natures of the dipole induced breakdown pathways of CF₄, CF₃CI and CF₂C1₂ were investigated by combining the present differential oscillator strength measurements for molecular and dissociative photoionization with photoelectron data obtained in the present thesis work plus previously reported photoelectron branching ratios. On the basis of the present work, a revised set of absolute electronic state partial photoionization differential oscillator strengths for CF₄ are presented. Absolute electronic state partial photoionization differential oscillator strength spectra for CF₃CI, CF₂C1₂ and CFCI₃ in the photon energy range 41—160 eV have been derived by combining total differential oscillator strength spectra obtained in the present thesis work with photoelectron branching ratios obtained from photoelectron spectra measured using synchrotron radiation. Absolute photoabsorption differential oscillator strengths and for F Is, C Is, and Cl 2p,2s inner shell excitation and ionization of freon molecules CF₄, CF₃C1, CF₂C1₂, CFCI₃ and CCl₄ have been derived from the presently obtained high resolution electron energy loss spectra plus previously reported. Tentative assignments of the spectra were obtained using the MO picture and the potential barrier model.

description: Layered van der Waals (vdW) materials grown by physical vapor deposition techniques are generally assumed to have a weak interaction with the substrate during growth. This leads to films with relatively small domains that are usually triangular and a terraced morphology. In this paper, we demonstrate that Bi2Se3, a prototypical vdW material, will form a nano-column morphology when grown on GaAs(001) substrates. This morphology is explained by a relatively strong film/substrate interaction, long adatom diffusion lengths, and a high reactive selenium flux. This discovery paves the way toward growth of self-assembled vdW structures even in the absence of strain.

description: We report the experimental demonstration of efficient interaction of multi kilo electron Volt heralded x-ray photons with a beam splitter. The measured heralded photon rate at the outputs of the beam splitter is about 0.01 counts/s which is comparable to the rate in the absence of the beam splitter. We use this beam splitter together with photon number and photon energy resolving detectors to show directly that single x ray photons cannot split. Our experiment demonstrates the major advantage of x rays for quantum optics: the possibility to observe experimental results with high fidelity and with negligible background.

description: The ubiquitous presence of shot noise sets a fundamental limit to the measurement precision in classical metrology. Recent advances in quantum devices and novel quantum algorithms utilizing interference effects are opening new routes for overcoming the detrimental noise tyranny. However, further progress is limited by the restricted capability of existing algorithms to account for the decoherence pervading experimental implementations. Here, adopting a systematic approach to the evaluation of effectiveness of metrological procedures, we devise the Linear Ascending Metrological Algorithm (LAMA), which offers a remarkable increase in precision in the demanding situation where a decohering quantum system is used to measure a continuously distributed variable. We introduce our protocol in the context of magnetic field measurements, assuming superconducting transmon devices as sensors operated in a qudit mode. Our findings demonstrate a quantum-metrological procedure capable of mitigating detrimental dephasing and relaxation effects.

description: Gamma sources are routinely used to calibrate the energy scale and resolution of liquid scintillator detectors. However, non-scintillating material surrounding the source introduces energy losses, which may bias the determination of the centroid and width of the full absorption peak. In this paper, we present a general method to determine the true gamma centroid and width to a relative precision of 0.03\% and 0.50\%, respectively, using energy losses predicted by the Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, the accuracy of the assumed source geometry is readily obtained from the fit. The method performs well with experimental data in the Daya Bay detector.

description: In multicell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) networks, base stations (BSs) with multiple antennas deliver their radio frequency energy in the downlink, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices use their harvested energy to support uplink data transmission. This paper investigates the energy efficiency (EE) problem for multicell massive MIMO NOMA networks with wireless power transfer (WPT). To maximize the EE of the network, we propose a novel joint power, time, antenna selection, and subcarrier resource allocation scheme, which can properly allocate the time for energy harvesting and data transmission. Both perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI) are considered, and their corresponding EE performance is analyzed. Under quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, an EE maximization problem is formulated, which is non-trivial due to non-convexity. We first adopt nonlinear fraction programming methods to convert the problem to be convex, and then, develop a distributed alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)- based approach to solve the problem. Simulation results demonstrate that compared to alternative methods, the proposed algorithm can converge quickly within fewer iterations, and can achieve better EE performance.

description: Indoor farming and food production systems present a unique opportunity for altering the sustainability of the urban food landscape through innovations in food, energy, and water (FEW) flows. Compared to traditional farming, growing indoors has been shown to be significantly more efficient with water usage and can reduce the amount of organic waste in runoff. However, indoor farming requires large amounts of energy for lighting and climate control, which can in turn exacerbate environmental impacts. Many experiments in indoor farming are taking place in cities across the world. This article presents a case study of The Plant, a renovated former meat-packing facility in Chicago's South Side, which is being repurposed into a collaborative community of food businesses committed to reducing waste. We utilize a Material Flow Analysis (MFA) framework to gather and analyze the FEW flows, but we also illustrate the social impacts, which are important as part of the broader sustainability impacts of the facility. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges in assessing the flow of FEW resources in experimental facilities such as The Plant, and we emphasize the need for ongoing study of such systems in order to determine a path towards sustainable management of food, energy, water, and waste in cities.

description: PTERIOMORPHIA BEURLEN, 1944
Five major groups of bivalves in the Keasey Formation (Mytilida, Arcida, Pteriida, Pectinida and Limida) are represented by taxa whose living species fall within a well-supported pteriomorph clade. Despite increasing support for monophyly from molecular data (e.g., González et al. 2015, Lemer et al. 2016, 2019), these groups encompass major radiations of extinct families and genera. Any phylogenetic perspective based on living species is seriously limited and temporally shallow. At the same time pleasing topologies based on limited sampling of living taxa leave internal relationships in the five major groups highly unresolved, but with considerable promise for increasing use of shell microstructure in phylogenetic studies. The following taxonomic treatments emphasize geological, paleoecological, paleoenvironmental, and paleogeographic insights on pteriomorph history.
All five of the Keasey major pteriomorph groups have Paleozoic origins, with arcoids and pterioids appearing in the Ordovician and mytiloids, pectinoids and limoids dating from the Devonian or Carboniferous. Extinct family-groups and genus-groups must be included in evolutionary history along with studies of historical ecology and biogeography. As noted above, the Keasey pteriomorphs provide a remarkable window on history because they occur in deep water mudstone and siltstone lithofacies during the doubthouse interval of major global climate cooling as well as an interval coinciding with tectonic change and onset of arc volcanism and large volumes of tuffaceous sedimentary input on the Pacific Northwest margin. They thrived in environmentally challenging hydrocarbon seep and peri-seep environments.
They experienced the same dysoxic and geochemically toxic conditions previously noted for Keasey heteroconch and anomalodesmatan bivalves (Hickman 2014, 2015).
Stratigraphic range —Ordovician–Holocene.

description: We investigate the clustering properties of a dynamical dark energy component. In a cosmic mix of a pressureless fluid and a light scalar field, we follow the linear evolution of spherical matter perturbations. We find that the scalar field tends to form underdensities in response to the gravitationally collapsing matter. We thoroughly investigate these voids for a variety of initial conditions, explain the physics behind their formation and consider possible observational implications. Detection of dark energy voids will clearly rule out the cosmological constant as the main source of the present acceleration.

description: The study investigated on soil nutrients in agriculture practiced high, medium high, medium low and low land at Kalihati upazila of Tangail district during October 2017 to June 2018. Thirty soil samples were collected from different land types at the study area and analyzed at Soil Resource Development Institute (SRDI) to determine soil nutrient status. The soil parameters under investigation included pH, organic matter (OM), total nitrogen (N), available phosphorus (P), available zinc (Zn), available iron (Fe), available manganese (Mn), available boron (B), exchangeable potassium (K), exchangeable calcium (Ca) and exchangeable magnesium (Mg). Results indicated that many of the soil nutrient levels decreased such as pH (5.63 to 6.40), P (3.50 to 23.20 µg g-1), Zn (3.27 to 3.60 µg g-1), Mn (21.12 to 57.90 µg g-1), B (0.17 to 0.60 µg g-1), K (0.18 to 0.30 meq 100g-1) and Ca (5.75 to 9.10 meq 100g-1). On the contrary, the average content of OM (2.30 to 1.40%), Fe (248.22 to 161.10 µg g-1) and Mg (2.07 to 1.80 meq 100g-1) were increased. Total N content status did not change much (0.12%). Soil nutrients like those that available Zn, Fe, Mn and Mg contents were found above optimum level (very high) but OM and N status found below optimum level (low, very low and medium). Nutrient concentrations below optimum levels may limit crop yield. Updated knowledge about soil nutrient status needs to be provided for the farmers so that they can use necessary amount of fertilizers and avoid applying excess amount of fertilizers.

description: Using a unified approach employing a homogeneous Lippmann-Schwinger-type equation satisfied by resonance functions and basic facts on Riesz potentials, we discuss the absence of threshold resonances for Dirac and Schrodinger operators with sufficiently short-range interactions in general space dimensions. More specifically, assuming a sufficient power law decay of potentials, we derive the absence of zero-energy resonances for massless Dirac operators in space dimensions $n \geq 3$, the absence of resonances at $\pm m$ for massive Dirac operators (with mass $m > 0$) in dimensions $n \geq 5$, and recall the well-known case of absence of zero-energy resonances for Schrödinger operators in dimension $n \geq 5$.

description: Recent observations of the binary system LS5039 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) revealed that its Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission is modulated at the 3.9 days orbital period of the system. The bulk of the emission is largely confined to half of the orbit, peaking around the inferior conjunction epoch of the compact object. The flux modulation provides the first indication of gamma-ray absorption by pair production on the intense stellar photon field. This implies that the production region size must be not significantly greater than the gamma-gamma photosphere size (~1 AU), thus excluding the large scale collimated outflows or jets (extending out to ~1000 AU). A hardening of the spectrum is also observed at the same epoch between 0.2 and a few TeV which is unexpected under a pure absorption scenario and could rather arise from variation with phase in the maximum electron energy and/or the dominant VHE gamma-ray production mechanism. This first-time observation of modulated gamma-ray emission allows precise tests of the acceleration and emission models in binary systems.
