description: Distaplia pallida Kott, 1990
(Figure 8H)
 Distaplia pallida Kott 1990a, p 121.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1990a): South Australia (Great Australian Bight, Gulf St Vincent); Victoria (Portsea); New South Wales (Byron Bay); Tasmania (Tinderbox). New records: Tasmania (Port Davey, 5–7 m, SAM E3273).
 Description
The colony is a firm, jelly-like translucent cushion with conical lobes protruding from the upper surface. Zooids are arranged in circular to long oval systems around sessile common cloacal openings. Sometimes the common cloacal apertures are long slits between two apparently parallel rows of zooids, and at each end the opening extends into narrow slits in the roof of the common cloacal canal that expose the atrial apertures directly to the exterior. The translucent internal or basal test contains criss-crossing posterior stolons of the zooids. About 12 stigmata are in each row in the branchial sac and the stomach has about 10 broad, parallel external folds. Gonads were not detected in the newly recorded specimens, although in previously recorded specimens they are reported to be in the gut loop. Photographs show colonies as pale blue, although they are beige in preservative.
 Remarks
The species is distinguished from other species with circular to longitudinal systems by its relatively few branchial stigmata, broad stomach folds, and gonads in the gut loop (see Kott 1990a).

description: Gravitational lensing in metric theories of gravity is discussed. I introduce a generalized approximate metric element, inclusive of both post-post-Newtonian (ppN) contributions and gravito-magnetic field. Following Fermat's principle and standard hyphoteses, I derive the time delay function and deflection angle caused by an isolated mass distribution. Several astrophysical systems are considered. In most of the cases, the gravito-magnetic correction offers the best perspectives for an observational detection. Actual measurements distinguish only marginally different metric theories one from another.

description: We present the Global Rapid Advanced Network Devoted to the Multi-messenger Addicts (GRANDMA). The network consists of 21 telescopes with both photometric and spectroscopic facilities. They are connected together thanks to a dedicated infrastructure. The network aims at coordinating the observations of large sky position estimates of transient events to enhance their follow-up and reduce the delay between the initial detection and the optical confirmation. The GRANDMA program mainly focuses on follow-up of gravitational-wave alerts to find and characterise the electromagnetic counterpart during the third observational campaign of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. But it allows for any follow-up of transient alerts involving neutrinos or gamma-ray bursts, even with poor spatial localisation. We present the different facilities, tools, and methods we developed for this network, and show its efficiency using observations of LIGO/Virgo S190425z, a binary neutron star merger candidate. We furthermore report on all GRANDMA follow-up observations performed during the first six months of the LIGO-Virgo observational campaign, and we derive constraints on the kilonova properties assuming that the events' locations were imaged by our telescopes.

description: Developing the capacity to assess and chart trends in the sustainability of farming and food production is becoming increasingly more important as agriculture strives to produce more food while minimising the risk to the natural environment. The multi-faceted nature of sustainability is encompassed in economic, environmental, social and innovation indicators. This paper outlines the development of farm level indicators for these sustainability criteria in Ireland. A comparison of indicators across farm systems shows that dairy farms, followed by tillage farms, tend to be the most economically and socially sustainable farm systems. Interestingly, in relation to greenhouse gas emissions in particular, the top performing farms in an economic sense also tend to be the best performing farms from an environmental sustainability perspective. This trend is also evident in terms of the adoption of innovative practices on farm, which is found to be strongly positively correlated with economic performance.

description: MgB2 tapes and wires were fabricated by the Powder-In-Tube method. Stainless steel and Cu-Ni tubes were used as sheath materials, and no heat treatment was applied. The tapes made of stainless steel showed transport critical current density Jc of about 10,000A/cm2 at 4.2K and 5T. A high Jc of about 300,000A/cm2 was obtained by extrapolating the Jc-B curves to zero field. Multifilamentary(7-core) MgB2 wire was successfully fabricated using Cu-Ni tubes. For both tapes and wires the grain connectivity of MgB2 was as good as a high-pressure sintered bulk sample. However, the Jc of the Cu-Ni sheathed wire was lower than the stainless steel sheathed tape due to the lower packing density of MgB2.

description: The spatio-temporal dynamics of separation bubbles induced to form in a fully-developed turbulent boundary layer (with Reynolds number based on momentum thickness of the boundary layer of 490) over a flat plate are studied via direct numerical simulations. Two different separation bubbles are examined: one induced by a suction-blowing velocity profile on the top boundary and the other, by a suction-only velocity profile. The latter condition allows reattachment to occur without an externally imposed favourable pressure gradient and leads to a separation bubble more representative of those occurring over airfoils and in diffusers. The suction-only separation bubble exhibits a range of clearly distinguishable modes including a high-frequency mode and a low-frequency "breathing" mode that has been observed in some previous experiments. The high-frequency mode is well characterized by classical frequency scalings for a plane mixing layer and is associated with the formation and shedding of spanwise oriented vortex rollers. The topology associated with the low-frequency motion is revealed by applying dynamic mode decomposition to the data from the simulations and is shown to be dominated by highly elongated structures in the streamwise direction. The possibility of Görtler instability induced by the streamwise curvature on the upstream end of the separation bubble as the underlying mechanism for these structures and the associated low frequency is explored.

description: We formulate a quantum theory of vorticity (hydro)dynamics on a general two-dimensional bosonic lattice. In the classical limit of a bosonic condensate, it reduces to conserved plasma-like vortex-antivortex dynamics. The nonlocal topological character of the vorticity flows is reflected in the bulk-edge correspondence dictated by the Stokes theorem. This is exploited to establish physical boundary conditions that realize, in the coarse-grained thermodynamic limit, an effective chemical-potential bias of vorticity. A Kubo formula is derived for the vorticity conductivity|which could be measured in a suggested practical device|in terms of quantum vorticity-flux correlators of the original lattice model. As an illustrative example, we discuss the superfluidity of vorticity, exploiting the particle-vortex duality at a bosonic superfluid-insulator transition.

description: Recently, a number of pilot and demonstration scale advanced biofuel facilities have been established, but commercial scale facilities are yet to become operational. To make informed decisions about this emerging industry, potential biorefinery entrepreneurs and regional policy makers need analysis of how farmers are willing to adopt these feedstocks and how will they switch land into bio-feedstock use to ensure a stable feedstock supply. This paper develops an agent-based simulation model to study farmers’ switchgrass adoption decisions over time within a specific agricultural region. We explicitly examine the effect of various contractual terms across market scenarios and consider the potential for contractual hold-ups. Results show that a contract with a payment of $175/acre plus $50/ton could make both biorefinery and farmer profitable during the simulation period. It is also shown that alfalfa, but not annual crops will be the mostly affected crop (replaced) by the introduction of switchgrass in the region of North Michigan.

 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1990a): South Australia (S. Spencer Gulf); Tasmania (St Helen’s and Montague I.). Magellanic area; Falkland Is; Kerguelen, Heard I.; Macquarie I.; Chatham I.; New Zealand and the Antarctic. New records: Tasmania (Tasman Peninsula, 20–22 m, SAM E3247), Tasmanian Canyons (King I. Canyons, 249 m; Banks Strait, 168 m; Ling Hole, 163 m, 174 m; Pieman Canyon, 173–176 m).
 Description
The newly recorded specimen from the Tasman Peninsula is a stiff, narrow stalk, with stiff annular thickenings at intervals. It has two short terminal branches, each bearing a small mushroom-shaped head with vertical double rows of zooids and a terminal common cloacal aperture.
 Remarks
Australian records of this species are few, but the new records are from Tasmania within the range previously recorded. The newly recorded specimens (taken in April) are either long wiry headless stalks or stalks with very small (regenerating) heads. Millar (1960) reported headless stalks in May, June, and July; stalks with regenerating heads in December, March, May, June, and July; and sexual reproduction at its peak in March. The regenerating post-reproductive stalks of the newly recorded specimens (taken in April) are within this timeframe. The presence of isolated heads of this species in the plankton of the tropical Atlantic and Pacific (see Kott 1990a) has already been reported.

description: We study nonlinear optical responses in superconducting systems with inversion ($\mathcal{I}$) symmetry-breaking order parameters. We first show that any superconducting system with $\mathcal{I}$ and time-reversal ($\mathcal{T}$) symmetries requires an $\mathcal{I}$-breaking order parameter to support optical transitions between particle-hole pair bands. We then use a 1D toy model of an $\mathcal{I}$-breaking superconductor to numerically calculate linear and nonlinear conductivities, including shift current and second harmonic generations (SHG) responses. We find that the magnitude of the signal is significantly larger in shift current/SHG response compare to the linear response due to the matrix element effect. We also present various scaling behaviors of the SHG signal, which may be relevant to the recent experimental observation of SHG in cuprates [1]. Finally, we confirm the generality of our observations regarding nonlinear responses of $\mathcal{I}$-breaking superconductors, by analyzing other models including a 1D three-band model and 2D square lattice model.

description: Over the past decade public perception of GM food in China has become increasingly contentious. Concerns have emerged with regard to public health, environmental safety, and economic impacts. This paper utilizes a survey conducted in 2013 to evaluate China’s urban consumers’ acceptance and willingness to pay (WTP) for genetically modified rice. The survey was conducted in thirteen of the main rice consuming provinces of China. Responses from 994 consumers are used to estimate WTP for GM rice relative to non-GM rice. A double bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation method is used to estimate consumers’ WTP for GM rice products. The effect of socio-demographic characteristics of consumers on acceptance and WTP is also reported. The survey design includes different information treatments for GM rice: no specific rice trait information, environmental/producer trait information (Bt rice), consumer health trait information (Golden rice) and stacked environmental/producer plus consumer health traits information. For the three specific rice trait information treatments, the risks and benefits information were reordered for the half of the respondents. The main result of the study is that a majority of Chinese urban consumers require a large discount to be willing to pay for GM rice regardless of rice trait and information treatment. Compared to previous studies, Chinese consumers’ WTP and attitudes on GM rice have become more negative.

description: Non-Hermitian random matrices enjoy non-trivial correlations in the statistics of their eigenvectors. We study the overlap among left and right eigenvectors in Ginibre ensembles with quaternion valued Gaussian matrix elements. This concept was introduced by Chalker and Mehlig in the complex Ginibre ensemble. Using a Schur decomposition, for harmonic potentials we can express the overlap in terms of complex eigenvalues only, coming in conjugate pairs in this symmetry class. Its expectation value leads to a Pfaffian determinant, for which we explicitly compute the matrix elements for the induced Ginibre ensemble with $2α$ zero eigenvalues, for finite matrix size $N$. In the macroscopic large-$N$ limit in the bulk of the spectrum we recover the limiting expressions of the complex Ginibre ensemble for the diagonal and off-diagonal overlap, which are thus universal.

description: Eucoelium orientalis (Kott, 1990)
 Polycitorella orientalis Kott 1990a, p 187 and synonymy; not E. orientalis: Kott 2003.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1990a): Western Australia (Rottnest I., Houtman’s Abrolhos); Queensland (Swain Reefs, Heron I., Coral Sea). New records: Tasmanian Canyons (Banks Strait, 168 m).
 Description
Colonies are dome-shaped to stalked, with a single layer of moderately crowded spicules in the surface over an aspiculate layer of variable thickness. Spicules also are present internally in varying concentrations. Spicules are to 0.05 mm diameter with 5–13 stout conical rays in optical section. Large zooids open around the upper domed surface and converge toward the centre of the base of the colony. They are in a vegetative state, the abdomina breaking up into replicates.
 Remarks
 Eucoelium is known, from only eight species, from Japan, the Gulf of Suez and the western Indian Ocean, New Zealand, and tropical and temperate waters around the Australian continent (where three species are known). The present species has been recorded from the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea, but the present record implies a wider range into temperate waters. All the known species of Eucoelium are very variable, but can be distinguished by their spicules, those of the present species being to 0.05 mm diameter with 5–15 rays. Eucoelium mariae (Michaelsen, 1924) from New Zealand has smaller spicules than the present species and the principally temperate E. coronaria Monniot, 1988 has larger spicules and its zooids are arranged in conspicuous circular systems. Eucoelium orientalis: Kott 2003 has large (to 0.09 mm diameter) globular spicules as well as smaller stellate ones and appears not to be a synonym of the present species.
 This genus and another polycitorid genus, Cystodytes, are the only aplousobranch genera outside the Didemnidae with the capacity to create calcareous spicules in the test. Although the spicules are very similar to those of the Didemnidae, a phylogenetic relationship is not implied.
Like other species taken from the Tasmanian Canyons, the new record of the present species from so much further south than it was previously known provides further evidence that the Australian continent may constitutes a route for gene flow of shallow-water tropical species into temperate waters.

description: Zambia and particularly the Eastern province have one of the highest rates of malnutrition in the world. The most vulnerable are the children from rural households which depend entirely on seasonal agricultural production and income, and survive on diets that are deficiency in proteins and other important nutrients. Agricultural diversification and commercialization provide alternative strategies for sustainable all-year-round household food and income availability. Applying Propensity Score Marching (PSM) and Generalized Propensity Score (GPS), this article evaluates the impact of agricultural diversification (in terms of calorie and protein production) and commercialization on reducing malnutrition in the Eastern province of Zambian. We use a uniquely rich dataset that comprises socioeconomic, agricultural and anthropometric data of 1120 children from five districts in the Eastern province. Results from PSM do not show significant impact of agricultural diversification and commercialization on reducing malnutrition while GPS results show that higher degrees of diversification reduce malnutrition. However, commercialization tends to have a negative effect particularly for short- and middle-term nutrition outcomes, where capital accumulation through higher purchasing power might have less impact. Policies need to consider the current diversification intensity of farmers and the different consequences on wasting and stunting when implementing diversification strategies. High levels of diversification could improve the wasting and underweight status of children by delivering a high amount of nutrients, but may come at the cost of reducing the efficiency of the farm and thus increasing the possibility of longer term stunting. Interventions focused on improving agricultural diversification and high degrees of commercialization may enhance adequate and diverse protein and calorie sources, while at the same time households will have excess produce for the market to meet their income demands.

description: We have investigated the effect of an in plane parallel magnetic field (B_||) on two high mobility metallic-like dilute two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) systems in GaAs quantum wells. The experiments reveal that, while suppressing the magnitude of the low temperature resistance drop, B_|| does not affect E_a, the characteristic energy scale of the metallic resistance drop. The field B_c at which the metallic-like resistance drop vanishes is dependent on both the width of quantum well and the orientation of B_||. It is unexpected that E_a is unaffected by B_|| up to Bc depite that the Zeeman energy at B_c is roughly equal to E_a.

description: The U.S. cattle inventory was at 87.7 million head at the beginning of 2014, the lowest inventory since 1951. Cattle producers have downsized their herds in recent years due to increased incidence of drought and high feed prices. A tight U.S. beef supply coupled with a strong demand for beef are driving beef prices to record highs. Given these conditions, cattle producers will be looking to rebuild their herds in the near future. The beef industry’ s rebuilding strategy should reflect consumer desires in order to sustain beef demand. Recent literature suggests a strong consumer focus on beef quality. Quality can embody many factors, but is most often described as the beef sensory characteristics such as flavor, color, tenderness, and juiciness. These characteristics contribute to the consumer’s beef eating experience and are largely determined by USDA beef quality grades. Estimating beef demand differentiated by quality grade will help determine the best rebuilding focus for the future of the beef industry.
Optical gain removes absorption and increases resolution in a near-field lens

description: A recent paper showed how to construct a lens that focuses near field radiation and hence produce resolution unlimited by wavelength. The prescription requires lossless materials with negative refractive index: finite loss cuts off the finer details of the image. In this paper we suggest compensating for losses by introducing optical gain media into the lens design. Calculations demonstrate a dramatic improvement in performance for a silver/gain composite medium at optical frequencies.

description: In this paper we study the presence of generalized blind spots, i.e. regions of the parameter space where the spin-independent cross section for dark matter direct detection is suppressed, in the context of a generic 2HDM and a minimal fermionic Higgs-portal dark sector. To this end, we derive analytical expressions for the couplings of the dark matter to the light and heavy Higgses, and thus for the blind spot solutions. Unlike the case of a standard Higgs sector, blind spots can occur even without a cancellation between different contributions, while keeping unsuppressed and efficient the annihilation processes in the early Universe involving Higgs states. As a consequence, the allowed parameter space is dramatically enhanced.

 Eudistoma anaematum Kott 1990a, p 196.
 Distribution
Previously recorded (see Kott 1990a): Queensland (Great Barrier Reef). New record: Queensland (Bowden Reef, AIMS 17693).
 Description
 The newly recorded colony has firm gelatinous test containing the usual long polycitorid zooids, which are arranged in circles with the long atrial siphons opening in the centre of the circle. Sand is not present either in or on the colony. The living colony was transparent and bluish beige. Dark, spherical pigment particles are scattered sparsely through the test of the preserved specimen. Zooids are robust, as previously described, with up to 30 stigmata in each of three rows and there is a long prestigmatal unperforated area in the pharynx. The almost spherical stomach is at the end of the long oesophageal neck, at the posterior end of the body. Zooids have up to two embryos developing in the atrial cavity. Larvae are similar to, although the trunk (0.75 mm long) is about half the length of the larval trunk of, E. globosum. The three antero-median adhesive organs have wide platforms of adhesive cells on short thick stalks, each surrounded by a shallow epidermal cup; and three narrow, median, ectodermal ampullae alternate with the adhesive organs. A large oval yolk mass almost completely occupies the larval trunk. The tail winds about halfway around the trunk.
 Remarks
The species is distinguished from others in this homogenous genus by its naked, sand-free, translucent colony. Its larva is described here for the first time.

description: We present a study of the first and second switches (SWs) with nearly identical switching current $I_{\rm SW}$ in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_{0.85}$Y$_{0.15}$Cu$_2$O$_y$ intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs). In contrast to early studies where a large difference between $I_{\rm SW}^{\rm 1st}$ and $I_{\rm SW}^{\rm 2nd}$ was observed, a crossover temperature $T_{\rm cr}$ to the quantum phase escapes for the 2nd SW is strongly reduced $(\sim$2.8~K) and agrees with that for the 1st SW. This confirms that the anomalous enhancement of $T_{\rm cr}^{\rm 2nd}$, commonly observed in the IJJs with $I_{\rm SW}^{\rm 1st} < I_{\rm SW}^{\rm 2nd}$, originates from the phase running state after the 1st SW. Detailed analysis of the microwave-induced escapes strongly suggests that nonlinear bifurcated phenomena possibly occurs in IJJs.

Calibration of the Distance Scale from Cepheids

description: We have used the infrared surface brightness technique to obtain a new absolute calibration of the Cepheid PL relation in optical and near-infrared bands from improved data on Galactic stars. The infrared surface brightness distances to the Galactic variables are consistent with direct interferometric Cepheid distance measurements, and with the PL calibration coming from Hipparcos parallaxes of nearby Cepheids, but are more accurate than these determinations. We find that in all bands, the Galactic Cepheid PL relation appears to be slightly, but significantly steeper than the corresponding relation defined by the LMC Cepheids. Since the slope of our LMC Cepheid sample is clearly better defined than the one of the much smaller Galactic sample, we fit the LMC slopes to our Galactic calibrating Cepheid sample (which introduces only a small uncertainty) to obtain our final, adopted and improved absolute calibrations of the Cepheid PL relations in the VIWJHK bands. Comparing the absolute magnitudes of 10-day period Cepheids in both galaxies which are only slightly affected by the different Galactic and LMC slopes of the PL relation, we derive values for the LMC distance modulus in all these bands which can be made to agree extremely well under reasonable assumptions for both, the reddening law, and the adopted reddenings of the LMC Cepheids. This yields, as our current best estimate from Cepheid variables, a LMC distance modulus of 18.55 +- 0.06.

description: We perform a detailed investigation of a Grand Unified Theory (GUT)-inspired theory of gauge-Higgs unification. Scanning the model's parameter space with adapted numerical techniques, we contrast the scenario's low energy limit with existing SM and collider search constraints. We discuss potential modifications of di-Higgs phenomenology at hadron colliders as sensitive probes of the gauge-like character of the Higgs self-interactions and find that for phenomenologically viable parameter choices modifications of the order of 20\% compared to the SM cross section can be expected. While these modifications are challenging to observe at the LHC, a future 100 TeV hadron collider might be able to constrain the scenario through more precise di-Higgs measurements. We point out alternative signatures that can be employed to constrain this model in the near future.

description: This study employed Nigeria’s household data from the RIGA database to examine the effect of off-farm income on rural poverty and income distribution. Specifically, the study employs the Foster, Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measurement indices to examining the effect of off-farm income on rural poverty and Gini decomposition techniques for the effect of off-farm income on rural income distribution. Our findings suggest that offfarm income as a part of total household income significantly contributed towards reducing the incidence, depth and severity of poverty as evident in the outcomes of the poverty measures for the wage and self employment activities. Same cannot be said for rural income inequality, as off-farm income on aggregate level is observed to increase rural income inequality. Results of the decomposition by income sources revealed that with the exception of self-employment income, other off-farm incomes have unequalising effect on income distribution, an outcome attributed to entry barriers which prevents poor households from undertaken the lucrative kind of off-farm work. Programmes of government and nongovernmental organisations aimed at growth and development of the off-farm sector needs to have an aspect well targeted at the poor rural households to assist them in removing the entry barriers, placing them in a better position to maximise the opportunities in the off-farm sector.
Three-dimensional dissipative pulsar magnetospheres with Aristotelian electrodynamics

description: A good compromise between the resistive model and the PIC model is Aristotelian electrodynamics, which can include the back-reaction of the radiative photons onto particle motion and allow for a local dissipation where the force-free condition is violated. We study the dissipative pulsar magnetosphere with Aristotelian electrodynamics where particle acceleration is fully balanced by radiation. The expression for the current density is defined by introducing a pair multiplicity. The 3D structure of the pulsar magnetosphere is then presented by solving the time-dependent Maxwell equations using a pseudo-spectral algorithm. It is found that the dissipative magnetosphere approaches the force-free solution and the dissipative region is more restricted to the current sheet outside the light-cylinder (LC) as the pair multiplicity increases. The spatial extension of the dissipative region is self-consistently controlled by the pair multiplicity. Our simulations show the high magnetospheric dissipation outside the LC for the low pair multiplicity.
