description: Formation of topological objects during phase transitions has been discussed extensively in literature. In all these discussions defects and anti-defects form with equal probabilities. In contrast, many physical situations, such as formation of baryons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at present energies, flux tube formation in superconductors in the presence of external magnetic field, and formation of superfluid vortices in a rotating vessel, require a mechanism which can bias (say) defects over anti-defects. Such a bias can crucially affect defect-anti-defect correlations, apart from its effects on defect density. In this paper we initiate an investigation for the basic mechanism of biased formation of defects. For Skyrmions in 1+1 dimensions, we show that incorporation of a chemical potential term in the effective potential leads to a domain structure where order parameter is spatially varying. We show that this leads to biased formation of Skyrmions.

description: Long-range dependence induced by heavy tails is a widely reported feature of internet traffic. Long-range dependence can be defined as the regular variation of the variance of the integrated process, and half the index of regular variation is then referred to as the Hurst index. The infinite-source Poisson process (a particular case of which is the $M/G/\infty$ queue) is a simple and popular model with this property, when the tail of the service time distribution is regularly varying. The Hurst index of the infinite-source Poisson process is then related to the index of regular variation of the service times. In this paper, we present a wavelet-based estimator of the Hurst index of this process, when it is observed either continuously or discretely over an increasing time interval. Our estimator is shown to be consistent and robust to some form of non-stationarity. Its rate of convergence is investigated.

description: By using a hedonic wage equation, this study estimats the implicit value of life for the labor market in Taiwan. The data were obtained from the Taiwan Area Labor Force Survey of 1984, from which two samples, the main and the sub, were drawn. The value of life was found to range from NT$21-34 million which, relatively speaking, is no less than that obtained from the U.S. studies. The estimated risk premium was found to be higher for any level of job risk in the case of the sub-sample . This may be due to this group of workers' perceived job risk being higher than the actual risk, hence their asking for and receiving a higher wage compensation.

description: The mechanical behaviour and symmetry-breaking shape deformation of red blood cells subjected to shear flows is used to demonstrate that far from being random fluids, both the membrane and cytoplasm of every biological cell undergo spatially organised convective and shear driven flows when the cell maintains a Near Equilibrium state through continuousmetabolic activity. The model demonstrates that fluid bifurcation events drive cell shape changes, rather than a Meccano like cytoskeletal structure, and represents a significant Gestalt shift in models of cell mechanics.

description: The Gamma-ray instruments on-board INTEGRAL offer an unique opportunity to perform time resolved analysis on GRBs. The imager IBIS allows accurate positiioning of GRBs and broad band spectral analysis, while SPI provides high resolution spectroscopy. GRB 030501 was discovered by the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System in the ISGRI field of view. Although the burst was fairly weak (fluence F = 3.5 * 10^-6 erg cm^-2 in the 20-200 keV energy band) it was possible to perform time resolved spectroscopy with a resolution of a few seconds. The GRB shows a spectrum in the 20 - 400 keV range which is consistent with a spectral photon index of -1.7. No emission line or spectral break was detectable in the spectrum. Although the flux seems to be correlated with the hardness of the GRB spectrum, there is no clear soft to hard evolution seen over the duration of the burst. The INTEGRAL data have been compared with results from the Ulysses and RHESSI experiments.

description: This paper attempts to address the central issue of the future of agriculture in many small Caribbean islands, especially given long run declines for various agricultural products, including livestock, the declining contribution of agriculture to the GNP, the annual loss of arable land and the progressive deterioration in the agricultural production/consumption ratio. Forecasts are made with respect to the latter three. Given the dismal picture that emerges from these forecasts, numerous policy measures are suggested to arrest agricultural decline, including land reform, strict ordinances to prevent agricultural land from being taken out of use and crop diversification. Problems(transportation, marketing, economies of scale, etc.) associated with the latter are highlighted.

description: Pattern formation on semiconductor surfaces induced by low energetic ion-beam erosion under normal and oblique incidence is theoretically investigated using a continuum model in form of a stochastic, nonlocal, anisotropic Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Depending on the size of the parameters this model exhibits hexagonally ordered dot, ripple, less regular and even rather smooth patterns. We investigate the transitional behavior between such states and suggest how transitions can be experimentally detected.

description: Das glaziale Dinkelbecken ist erfüllt mit einer Sequenz von fluviatilen und äolischen Ablagerungen. Die Spätpleistozän-Stratigraphie und Paläomorphologie würde mit Hilfe von neuen Aufschlüssen, Bohrungen und geo-elektrischen Sondierungen erforscht. Besondere Beachtung galt der Verfeinerung in der Lithostratigraphie des Dinkeltals, des Typusgebietes der Twente-Formation, und einer Rekonstruktion des Ablagerungsmilieus in den verschiedenen Perioden der Weichseleiszeit. Die Talauffüllung besteht aus Sanden mit Lehm-, Ton- und Torfschichten. Drei wichtige Leithorizonte wurden innerhalb der Twente-Formation gefunden. Diese drei Horizonte sind von erosiven Bildungen begleitet. Einige charakteristische Einheiten sind unterschieden, jede Einheit entspricht spezifischen fluviatilen und äolischen Verhältnissen. Während der Eemzeit und der Früh-Weichseleiszeit gab es Flüsse mit hoher Sinuosität in einem sumpfigen alluvialen Tiefland, mit lokal lakustrischen Verhältnissen. Das Untere Pleniglazial ist charakterisiert durch einen tiefen fluviatilen Einschnitt. Darauf folgt fluviatile Zuschüttung während des Mittleren Pleniglazials, hauptsächlich durch mäandrierende Flüsse. Während des Oberen Pleniglazials lösten sich die Flüsse in sich überkreuzende Flußarme auf. Äolische Ablagerung nahm allmählich zu. Die Entwicklung der Beuningen-Steinsohle und die Ablagerung von Flugdecksanden zeigen zunächst die Dominanz von äolischen Prozessen im Tal. Erneute fluviatile Aktivität fing mit Einschneidung im Spätglazial an, gefolgt von der Ablagerung von Sedimenten mäandrierender Flüsse.

title: The use of Bayesian networks to determine software inspection process efficiency
Creators: name: Cockram, Trevor John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: Adherence to a defined process or standards is necessary to achieve satisfactory software quality. However, in order to judge whether practices are effective at achieving the required integrity of a software product, a measurement-based approach to the correctness of the software development is required. A defined and measurable process is a requirement for producing safe software productively. In this study the contribution of quality assurance to the software development process, and in particular the contribution that software inspections make to produce satisfactory software products, is addressed. I have defined a new model of software inspection effectiveness, which uses a Bayesian Belief Network to combine both subjective and objective data to evaluate the probability of an effective software inspection. Its performance shows an improvement over the existing published models of inspection effectiveness. These previous models made questionable assumptions over the distribution of errors and were essentially static. They could not make use of experience both in terms of process improvement and the increased experience of the inspectors. A sensitivity analysis of my model showed that it is consistent with the attributes which were thought important by Michael Fagan in his research into the software inspection method. The performance of my model show that it is an improvement over published models and over a multiple logistic regression model, which was formed using the same calibration data. By applying my model of software inspection effectiveness before the inspection takes place, project managers will be able to make better use of inspection resource available. Applying the model using data collected during the inspection will help in estimation of residual errors in a product. Decisions can then be made if further investigations are required to identify errors. The modelling process has been used successfully in an industrial application.

description: Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are compact stellar objects with small or negligible astrophysical backgrounds, widely considered as promising targets to search for a signal from the dark matter decay and annihilation. We present constraints on the lifetime of the superheavy decaying dark matter branching to the $q\bar{q}$ channel in the mass range $10^{19} - 10^{25}$ eV based on the directional limits on the ultra-high-energy (UHE) gamma rays obtained by the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array experiment. Attenuation effects during the propagation of UHE photons towards Earth are taken into account, with the strongest constraints derived for the Ursa Major II, Coma Berenices and Segue I galaxies.

description: Ein kurzer Profilabschnitt aus der Seemisse am Ruhestein im Nördlichen Schwarzwald wurde bezüglich der Pollen, Großreste und der chemischen Zusammensetzung in 1cm-Abständen untersucht. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse aus den Pollenanalysen gibt er die Vegetationsentwicklung etwa der letzten 500 Jahre wieder. Im Pollendiagramm finden sich einige Arten, die nur in tieferen Lagen vorkommen. So gibt das Diagramm mehr die regionale als die lokale Vegetation wieder. Bei den Großresten lassen sich aufgrund der Torfmoose feuchtere und trockenere Phasen unterscheiden. Dabei spielt ein Brandhorizont eine besondere Rolle. Er geht auf einen Brand im Jahre 1800 zurück. Bei den chemischen Analysen wurden 22 Parameter gemessen. Viele Elemente zeigen eine Zunahme nach oben hin, was sich aber wenigstens zum Teil natürlich erklären läßt. Andere Elemente wie Silizium und Titan sind weitgehend immobil und zeigen ein Maximum im Bereich des Brandes. Die parallele Bearbeitung der Pollen, Großreste und der chemischen Zusammensetzung hat sich als sehr nützlich erwiesen.
description: A short profile of the upper 41 centimeters of the Seemisse in the Northern Black Forest was analysed for pollen, plant macrofossils and chemistry in intervals of 1 centimeter. It shows the development of the bog and of the vegetation during the last 500 years. The pollen rain represents more the regional than the local vegetation. There is a high number of species of lower altitudes. From the macrofossils one can know more humid or trier phases. An ash layer of the year 1800 was an important event. 22 chemical factors were analysed. Many elements rise in the upper part of the profile. But this can be explained not only by the increased input of heavy metals , there exist also natural explanations for at least part of this increase. Other elements like Si and Ti are rather immobile and show a maximum in the ash layer. The combined analysis of pollen, macrofossils and chemistry proved very useful.

description: Abstract: Undisturbed peatlands with high water levels provide complex and important ecosystem services (ESS) on a small scale and are vulnerable ecosystems that require special protection. In the project „Berlin’s Peatlands and climate Change“, a system was developed with which to assess important ecosystem services (climate protection service, habitat service, filtering function, water retention service, cooling service) on the basis of soil, site and vegetation properties and to identify priorities for action. For this purpose, all peatland soils in Berlin were investigated and their ESS were assessed. Currently, there are 740 ha of peatland soils in different sites. They show a great variety of soil types and soil substrates and represent nearly the whole variety of mire types of Northeastern Germany (except ombrotrophic bogs) which enables a good transferability and applicability of the assessment system. A detailed description of the methodology and the obtained results for every single peatland site is freely accessible on the project website (www.berliner-moorboeden.hu-berlin.de, partly in English).

Im Forschungsprojekt „Berliner Moorböden im Klimawandel“ wurde ein System zur Bewertung wich tiger ÖSL von Moorstandorten (Klimaschutzleistung, Lebensraumleistung, Stofffilterleistung, Wasserretentionsleistung, Kühlungsleistung) auf der Basis von Boden- und Vegetationsmerkmalen entwickelt, mit dem Handlungsschwerpunkte identifiziert werden können. Dazu wurden flächendeckend alle Moorgebiete in Berlin bodenkundlich untersucht und ihre ÖSL bewertet. Derzeit existieren 740 ha Moorbodenflächen, die eine sehr große Standortvielfalt an Bodentypen und Moorbodensubstraten aufweisen und nahezu die gesamte Bandbreite der in Nordostdeutschland zu findenden Moortypen (Ausnahme Regenmoore) abdecken. Damit ist eine relativ gute Übertragbarkeit und Anwendbarkeit des Bewertungssystems gewährleistet.

description: There are many ways to look at the idea of crop diversification, and one perspective that should not be omitted is the traditional view of the farmers who are the object of various programmes aimed at agricultura1 development. The way Jamaican farmers traditionally think about crop diversification is primarily expressed in relationship to the practice of intercropping-the simultaneous growing of two or more crops in the same field. This paper looks at the cultural concept of crop diversification that is implicit in the practice of intercropping. For Jamaican farmers, the basic objective of this method of cultivation is not only efficient production but social independence.

description: The unstable economic situation of monoculture due to markets and weather conditions has pushed and is pushing the policy makers of the OECS States to adopt a new strategy of agricultural development - crop diversification. The programme of crop diversification varies from island to island and at times crop diversification and import substitution are viewed in the same light. As a result of this new thrust, extension programmes are being oriented to meet this need. However, the implementation of these programmes is hindered by: (a) the high price currently received for bananas; (b) the unavailability of a technological package with a strong economic component; (c) the unsuitability of the programme to meet family goals of a continuous cash flaw; (d) the unwillingness of farmers, especially the young farmers, to invest in crops with long gestation periods; (e) the inability of extension workers to fully internalize the economics of crops with long gestation periods, i.e., discounting techniques, and thus to de1iver an effective programme; (f) the goals of most crop diversification programmes - e.g. to have a certain number of trees planted within a certain time - conflict at times with land capability and land use policy. There is need for a re-examination of crop diversification programmes given their importance to the economy of the islands.

description: The accessibility of tools to model artifacts is one of the core driving factors for the adoption of Personal Fabrication. Subsequently, model repositories like Thingiverse became important tools in (novice) makers' processes. They allow them to shorten or even omit the design process, offloading a majority of the effort to other parties. However, steps like measurement of surrounding constraints (e.g., clearance) which exist only inside the users' environment, can not be similarly outsourced. We propose Mix&Match a mixed-reality-based system which allows users to browse model repositories, preview the models in-situ, and adapt them to their environment in a simple and immediate fashion. Mix&Match aims to provide users with CSG operations which can be based on both virtual and real geometry. We present interaction patterns and scenarios for Mix&Match, arguing for the combination of mixed reality and model repositories. This enables almost modelling-free personal fabrication for both novices and expert makers.

description: Modern technology has moved so fast that most of the agricultural commodities produced during colonial times are no longer economically produced in the Caribbean. People have neither been prepared for nontraditional economic activity within a post-colonial Caribbean, nor is there infrastructure or economic surplus to encourage meaningful diversification - agricultural or industrial. 1I0wcver, crop diversification shows some promise. Promising areas include production for national self-sufficiency in food and increasing consumption of locally produced food in industries such as tourism and food preservation. The potential of bio-genetic engineering for the Third World bring both promise and risk. A definite problem is the inability of the region to coordinate production of crops in a way that would favour regional economic growth and cooperation. These topics along with others are discussed in this paper.

description: We report a proof-of-concept study of extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) in devices of monolayer graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, having metallic edge contacts and a central metal shunt. Extremely large EMR values, $MR=(R(B) - R_0) / R_0\sim 10^5$, are achieved in part because $R_0$ approaches or crosses zero as a function of the gate voltage, exceeding that achieved in high mobility bulk semiconductor devices. We highlight the sensitivity, $dR/dB$, which in two-terminal measurements is the highest yet reported for EMR devices, and in particular exceeds prior results in graphene-based devices by a factor of 20. An asymmetry in the zero-field transport is traced to the presence of $pn$-junctions at the graphene-metal shunt interface.

description: Transport models cannot simultaneously explain very recent data on pion multiplicities and pion charged ratios of Sn+Sn in the reaction at 0.27 A GeV. This stimulates further investigations on the pion dispersion relation, in-medium $Nπ\to Δ$ cross sections and $Δ\to N π$ decay widths near the threshold energy or at subthreshold energy of pion production in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. In this study, the pion dispersion relation, in-medium $Nπ\to Δ$ cross section and $Δ\to N π$ decay width near the threshold energy are investigated in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter by using the one-boson-exchange model. With the consideration of the energy conservation effect, the in-medium $Nπ\toΔ$ cross sections are enhanced at $s^{1/2}<1.11$ GeV in nuclear medium. The prediction of pion multiplicity and $π^-/π^+$ ratios near the threshold energy can be modified if this effect is considered in transport model simulations.

description: As a step toward proving an index theorem for hypoelliptic operators Heisenberg manifolds, including those on CR and contact manifolds, we construct an analogue for Heisenberg manifolds of Connes' tangent groupoid of a manifold $M$. As it is well known for a Heisenberg manifold $(M,H)$ the relevant notion of tangent is rather that of Lie group bundle of graded 2-step nilpotent Lie groups $GM$. We then construct the tangent groupoid of $(M,H)$ as a differentiable groupoid $\cG_{H} M$ encoding the smooth deformation of $M\times M$ to $GM$. In this construction a crucial use is made of a refined notion of privileged coordinates and of a tangent approximation result for Heisenberg diffeomorphisms.

Dark Energy Present and Future

description: By studying the present cosmological data, particularly on CMB, SNeIA and LSS, we find that the future fate of the universe, for simple linear models of the dark energy equation-of-state, can vary between the extremes of (I) a divergence of the scale factor in as little as 7 Gyr; (II) an infinite lifetime of the universe with dark energy dominant for all future time; (III) a disappearing dark energy where the universe asymptotes as $t \to \infty$ to $a(t) \sim t^{2/3}$ {\it i.e.} matter domination. Precision cosmological data hint that a dark energy with equation of state $w = P/ρ< -1$ and hence dubious stability is viable. Here we discuss for any $w$ nucleation from $Λ> 0$ to $Λ= 0$ in a first-order phase transition. The critical radius is argued to be at least of galactic size and the corresponding nucleation rate glacial, thus underwriting the dark energy's stability and rendering remote any microscopic effect.

description: We have used VLT/UVES to spatially resolve the gas disk of beta Pictoris. 88 extended emission lines are observed, with the brightest coming from Fe I, Na I and Ca II. The extent of the gas disk is much larger than previously anticipated; we trace Na I radially from 13 AU out to 323 AU and Ca II to heights of 77 AU above the disk plane, both to the limits of our observations. The degree of flaring is significantly larger for the gas disk than the dust disk. A strong NE/SW brightness asymmetry is observed, with the SW emission being abruptly truncated at 150-200 AU. The inner gas disk is tilted about 5 degrees with respect to the outer disk, similar to the appearance of the disk in light scattered from dust. We show that most, perhaps all, of the Na I column density seen in the 'stable' component of absorption, comes from the extended disk. Finally, we discuss the effects of radiation pressure in the extended gas disk and show that the assumption of hydrogen, in whatever form, as a braking agent is inconsistent with observations.

description: Belize has a narrow range of traditional export crops - namely sugarcane, citrus and bananas. The Belizean economy is highly dependent on foreign exchange earnings from sugar. The cutbacks in the US preferential quota and the deterioration in the price for sugar on the international market have resulted in sugar's contribution to export earnings declining steadily from 60% in 1978 to only 43% in 1986. Given the need to diversify Belize's agricultural base, a Commercialization of Alternative Crops Project (CAC) was initiated in June, 1986 by the Ministry of Agriculture and the United States Agency for International Development. The Belize Agri-Business Company (BABCO) is the nonprofit organisation responsible for administering the CAC Project until June, 1990. BABCO's agricultural crop diversification strategy has both export oriented and import substitution components.
Hydraulische Eigenschaften unterschiedlicher Sphagnum-Torfe
Hydraulic properties of different Sphagnum peats

description: Abstract: On an experimental site in Lower Saxony samples of various Sphagnum peats were collected for laboratory analyses of hydraulic properties. It turned out that the hydraulic properties of the peats are different and that at low degrees of decomposition horizontal and vertical water conductivities differ significantly. This has implications for peatland rewetting and for optimal water management of Sphagnum farming sites.
description: Zusammenfassung: Auf einer Versuchsfläche zum Anbau von Torfmoosen in Niedersachsen wurden Proben unterschiedlicher Sphagnum-Torfe entnommen und im Labor hinsichtlich ihrer hydraulischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Dabei stellte sich heraus, dass die hydraulischen Eigenschaften der verschiedenen Sphagnum-Torfe je nach Genese und pflanzlicher Zusammensetzung unterschiedlich sind und dass bei geringen Humositätsgraden horizontale und vertikale Wasserleitfähigkeiten deutlich voneinander abweichen. Daraus ergeben sich Schlussfolgerungen für Wiedervernässungsvorhaben sowie zur optimalen Gestaltung von Anbauflächen für Torfmoose.

description: Lovelock gravity is an important extension of General Relativity that provides a promising framework to study curvature corrections to the Einstein action, while avoiding ghosts and keeping second order field equations. This paper derives the greybody factors for D-dimensional black holes arising in a theory with a Gauss-Bonnet curvature-squared term. These factors describe the non-trivial coupling between black holes and quantum fields during the evaporation process: they can be used both from a theoretical viewpoint to investigate the intricate spacetime structure around such a black hole, and for phenomenological purposes in the framework of braneworld models with a low Planck scale. We derive exact spectra for the emission of scalar, fermion and gauge fields emitted on the brane, and for scalar fields emitted in the bulk, and demonstrate how the Gauss-Bonnet term can change the bulk-to-brane emission rates ratio in favour of the bulk channel in particular frequency regimes.

description: Das Moor- und Fehnmuseum Elisabethfehn hat in einer umfassenden Recherche, die sich über drei Jahre erstreckte, die Geschichte der Familie Strenge und ihre Bedeutung für die maschinelle Brenntorfgewinnung in Deutschland und Europa erarbeitet. Mit Hilfe der maschinellen Brenntorfgewinnung war es möglich in den moorreichen Ländern Europas einen Beitrag zur Energieversorgung zu leisten. Der Brenntorf war in Deutschland immer ein Krisenbrennstoff. Die Maschinen zur Gewinnung von Brenntorf wurden von Unternehmen aus der Torfindustrie entwickelt und durch den Patentschutz sicherte man sich den Fortschritt. In diesem Beitrag wird der mühsame aber erfindungsreiche Weg vom Handtorfstich bis zur maschinellen Brenntorfgewinnung aufgezeigt. Die Bedeutung der Familie Strenge als Unternehmen für die weltweite Brenntorfgewinnung war groß. Ihre Neuentwicklungen und Patente im Bereich Torfmaschinenbau sicherten den Fortschritt und den Bestand des Unternehmens. Der Wandel in der Einstellung das Staates und weiter Teile der Bevölkerung zur Moornutzung führte zu Beginn der 1970er Jahre zu einer Neubewertung der Moornutzung. Mit der Hinwendung der Politik zu mehr Moorschutz verlor das Unternehmen Strenge seine vom Staat gepachteten Abbauﬂächen und musste den Betrieb aufgeben.
description: In a comprehensive three-year research, the Bog and Fen Museum in Elisabethfehn has elaborated the history of the Strenge family and its importance for the industrial fuel peat extraction in Germany and Europe. The introduction of industrial fuel peat extraction made it possible for countries in Europe, rich in peatlands, to contribute to the overall energy supply. Fuel peat has always been a fuel used in crises. The machines used for peat extraction were developed by companies within the peat industry and their advancements were secured by patent protection. This article shows the arduous but inventive evolution from manual peat cutting to industrial peat extraction. The significance of the family Strenge for the global peat industry was great. Their innovations and patents for machines in the peat industry secured the company’s advancement and existence. The attitude of the government, as well as big parts of the population, towards the uses of peatlands changed in the early 1970s, causing a revaluation of peatland utilization. With the increasing political orientation on securing peatlands, the Strenge Company lost their extraction sites rented from the government and had to give up business.

Valuative analysis of planar plurisubharmonic functions

description: We show that valuations on the ring R of holomorphic germs in dimension 2 may be naturally evaluated on plurisubharmonic functions, giving rise to generalized Lelong numbers in the sense of Demailly. Any plurisubharmonic function thus defines a real-valued function on the set V of valuations on R and--by way of a natural Laplace operator defined in terms of the tree structure on V--a positive measure on V. This measure contains a great deal of information on the singularity at the origin. Under mild regularity assumptions, it yields an exact formula for the mixed Monge-Ampere mass of two plurisubharmonic functions. As a consequence, any generalized Lelong number can be interpreted as an average of valuations. Using our machinery we also show that the singularity of any positive closed (1,1) current T can be attenuated in the following sense: there exists a finite composition of blowups such that the pull-back of T decomposes into two parts, the first associated to a divisor with normal crossing support, the second having small Lelong numbers.

description: We point out novel consequences of general relativity involving tidal dynamics of ultrarelativistic relative motion. Specifically, we use the generalized Jacobi equation and its extension to study the force-free dynamics of relativistic flows near a massive rotating source. We show that along the rotation axis of the gravitational source, relativistic tidal effects strongly decelerate an initially ultrarelativistic flow with respect to the ambient medium, contrary to Newtonian expectations. Moreover, an initially ultrarelativistic flow perpendicular to the axis of rotation is strongly accelerated by the relativistic tidal forces. The astrophysical implications of these results for jets and ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are briefly mentioned.
