description: Mitigation-driven translocations represent an increasingly common management solution to reduce animal mortality and habitat loss caused by human development. Although they currently outnumber other translocation types, there is a lack of scientific approaches to evaluate the outcome of this management tool. We designed an experimental translocation with two groups of translocated males and two of control males of a small (6-14 g) lizard (totaling 120 individuals). Our results suggest that translocated individuals covered longer distances (53 vs. 18 m) from their respective release points during their first month (on average), although this distance diminished over time. Displacing longer distances was associated with a body condition impoverishment and an increase in parasitization by ectoparasites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that finds a positive relationship between covering longer distances and an increase in the number of mites. This was also explained by the initial mite load that lizards had, suggesting that controlling the infestation by mites is energetically demanding for lizards, being traded by locomotor activity. At least for those individuals in poorer body condition, we recommend the implementation of soft release (gradually accustoming individuals to their new environment by previously releasing them into controlled conditions) and deparasitization before accomplishing a mitigation-driven translocation.

description: We show how to engineer a chiral spectral flow of interface states in a gapless system. Although the bulk bands touch -- thus making the topological indices of the bands ill-defined -- this spectral flow has a topological origin that makes it robust even when it coexists with the bulk bands. This phenomenon is illustrated with an adiabatically modulated photonic quantum walk.

Circular velocity profiles of dark matter haloes

description: We use a high-resolution simulation of a galaxy-sized dark matter halo, published simulated data as well as four cluster-sized haloes from Fukushige, Kawai & Makino to study the inner halo structure in a Lambda cold dark matter cosmology. We find that the circular velocity curves are substantially better described by Stoehr et al. (SWTS) profiles than by Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW) or Moore et al. profiles. Our findings confirm that no asymptotic slope is reached and that the profiles are nearly universal, but not perfectly. The velocity profiles curve at a_constant_ rate in log(r) over the full converged range in radii and the corresponding extrapolated density profiles reach a finite maximum density. We find, that the claim of a strong discrepancy between the observed inner slopes of the density profiles of low surface brightness galaxies (LSB) and their simulated counterparts on the grounds of currently available observations and simulations is unfounded. In addition, if the SWTS profile turns out to be a good description of the halo profile for the regions that cannot be probed with simulations of today, then even in these regions the agreeement between simulations and observations is very reasonable.

title: Eine bruchmechanische Definition des technischen Anrisses
Creators: name: von Blücher, Fabian Bernd Gebhard
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Zur Abschätzung der Lebensdauer der Komponenten von Maschinen und Anlagen exisiteren zwei Auslegungsphilosphien, das Safe-Life-Prinzip und das Damage-Tolerant-Design. Das Safe-Life-Prinzip geht von einem defektfreien Bauteil aus, das bis zum technischen Anriss betrieben werden kann. Das Damage-Tolerant-Design geht davon aus, dass ab Beginn der Nutzungsdauer Defekte in einem Bauteil vorhanden sind, deren Wachstum zum Versagen führt. Bislang ist es nicht möglich, einen Zusammenhang zwischen beiden Philosophien herzustellen. Dies ist in der Vielzahl der unterschiedlichen Anrisskriterien in Safe-Life-Ansätzen begründet, die untereinander oftmals nicht vergleichbar sind. Zur Lösung dieses Problems wird in dieser Arbeit vorgeschlagen, den Spannungsintensitätsfaktor zur Definition eines technischen Anrisses zu verwenden. Der technische Anriss wird als das Erreichen eines bestimmten Spannungsintensitätsfaktors definiert. Zur Ermittlung von Wöhlerlinien mit dem neuen Anrisskriterium wurden Rissinitiierungsversuche an glatten Rundproben aus der Nickelbasislegierung René 80 durchgeführt. Zur Messung der Risstiefe im Verlauf der Versuche wurde eine Wechselstrompotentialsonde verwendet. Zur Korrektur des Einflusses der Dehnung auf die Potenzialsonde wurde eine Methode entwickelt, der die Annahme zugrunde liegt, dass der jeweilige Einfluss von Dehnung und Risstiefe auf das Potentialsignal superponiert werden kann. Die Gültigkeit dieser Annahme wurde mit einer FE-Simulation überprüft, mit der die elektrische Impedanz der Probengeometrie in Abhängigkeit von Dehnung und Risstiefe berechnet wurde. Anschließend wurden Parameter-Wöhlerlinien mit dem Parameter nach Smith, Watson und Topper sowohl mit konventionellen Anrisskriterien als auch mit dem neuen Anrisskriterium erstellt und ein Basquin-Ansatz zur Modellierung der Anrisslebensdauer an die Daten angepasst. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Verwendung des bruchmechanischen Anrisskriteriums zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Qualität der Fits führt. Das neue Anrisskriterium ermöglicht es, das Risswachstum im Anschluss an das Erreichen des Anrisses mit bruchmechanischen Modellen zu berechnen. Dazu wird das Oxidation-Creep-Fatigue-Modell verwendet. Dies wurde für die Rissinitiierungsversuche durchgeführt und anhand weiterer Untersuchungen an Flachproben mit einer Bohrung validiert. So konnte gezeigt werden, dass eine Verknüpfung des Safe-Life-Ansatzes und des Damage-Tolerant-Design durch die Wahl eines geeigneten Anrisskriteriums möglich sind.

description: An experiment on maize/pea intercropping was conducted during rabi season of 2004-05 to find out suitable planting system for higher productivity and economic return. Two and four rows of pea (BARI motorshuti-1 and IPSA motorshuti-1) were intercropped with normal and paired row maize, respectively. Planting systems and row arrangement significantly influenced pea yield in intercropping. Significantly highest maize (8.81 t/ha) and pea yields (7.57 t/ha and 4.47 t/ha) were obtained from their respective sole crops. BARI motorshuti-1 gave higher yield than IPSA motorshuti-1 both in sole and intercrop treatments. Although intercropping reduced maize yields by 20 to 30 % in different treatments but with the addition of pea yields intercropping increased total productivity, which is expressed through higher maize equivalent yield (MEY) and land equivalent ratio (LER). The highest MEY (12.74 t/ha) was obtained when 4 rows of BARI motorshuti-1 was intercropped with paired row maize. This treatment also gave highest LER (1.20), gross return (Tk. 106375/ha), net return (Tk. 79365/ha), and benefit cost ratio (3.85).

description: There is a dire need for close engagement among human geneticists, rare disease clinicians and mouse researchers. This multi-directional interaction will enable human geneticists to find appropriate mouse models for their rare disease research in the mouse research community. In turn, mouse researchers can generate rare disease models with specific disease-causing mutations found in human patients in the orthologous mouse gene. These interactions will facilitate diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases.The Rare Disease Data Integration (RDDI) workshop, funded by the IPAD-MD project (grant agreement No. 653961), intended to meet these needs.

description: The new precision era of jet quenching observables at both RHIC and the LHC calls for an improved and more precise description of in-medium gluon emissions. The development of new theoretical tools and analytical calculations to tackle this challenge has been hampered by the inability to include the effects of multiple scatterings with the medium using a realistic model for the parton-medium interactions. In this paper, we show how the analytical expressions for the full in-medium spectrum, including the resummation of all multiple scatterings, can be written in a form where the numerical evaluation can be easily performed without the need of the usually employed harmonic or single hard approximations. We present the transverse momentum and energy-dependent medium-induced gluon emission distributions for known realistic interaction models to illustrate how our framework can be applied beyond the limited kinematic regions of previous calculations.

description: Lattice effects in a cerium based clathrate compound Ce_3Pd_20Ge_6 with a cubic Cr_23C_6-type structure have been investigated by ultrasonic and thermal expansion measurements. Elastic softenings of (C_11-C_12)/2 and C_44 proportional to the reciprocal temperature 1/T above T_Q1 = 1.25 K are well described in terms of the quadrupole susceptibility for the ground state Gamma_8 quartet. A huge softening of 50 % in (C_11-C_12)/2 and a spontaneous expansion DL/L = 1.9x10^-4 along the [001] direction in particular indicate the ferroquadrupole ordering of O_2^0 below T_Q1. The elastic anomalies associated with the antiferromagnetic ordering at T_N2 = 0.75 K and the incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordering are also found. Notable frequency dependence of C_44 around 10 K is accounted for by the Debye-type dispersion indicating a Gamma_5 rattling motion of an off-center Ce ion along the [111] direction with eight fractionally occupied positions around the 4a site in a cage. The thermally activated Gamma_5 rattling motion obeying a relaxation time t = t_0exp(E/k_BT) with an attempt time t_0 = 3.1x10^-11 sec and an activation energy E = 70 K dies out with decreasing temperature, and then the off-center tunneling state of Ce ion in the 4a-site cage will appear at low temperatures.

description: A brief overview is given of theoretical analyses with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. Theoretical bounds on the ``observable'', _betabeta, are presented. By using experimental bounds on _betabeta, allowed regions are obtained on the m_l-cos{2theta_12} plane, where m_l stands for the lightest neutrino mass. It is shown that Majorana neutrinos can be excluded by combining possible results of future neutrinoless double beta decay and {}^3H beta decay experiments. A possibility to constrain one of two Majorana phases is discussed also.

 Remarks: Sharp remarked on the affinities of the New Zealand Coxelus (= Notocoxelus) with that of the European Coxelus, suggesting it was near enough to not require a separate genus. However, Ślipiński and Lawrence (1997: 404) erected the genus Notocoxelus for the New Zealand members of the genus Coxelus, but neglected to formally designate all New Zealand species as new combinations under Notocoxelus (Adam Ślipiński, pers. comm.). Below we formally combine these names for the New Zealand Coxelus.

description: In this work, we have constructed a relation between the surface brightness ($Σ$) and diameter (D) of Galactic C- and S-type supernova remnants (SNRs). In order to calibrate the $Σ$-D dependence, we have carefully examined some intrinsic (e.g. explosion energy) and extrinsic (e.g. density of the ambient medium) properties of the remnants and, taking into account also the distance values given in the literature, we have adopted distances for some of the SNRs which have relatively more reliable distance values. These calibrator SNRs are all C- and S-type SNRs, i.e. F-type SNRs (and S-type SNR Cas A which has an exceptionally high surface brightness) are excluded. The Sigma-D relation has 2 slopes with a turning point at D=36.5 pc: $Σ$(at 1 GHz)=8.4$^{+19.5}_{-6.3}$$\times10^{-12}$ D$^{{-5.99}^{+0.38}_{-0.33}}$ Wm$^{-2}$Hz$^{-1}$ster$^{-1}$ (for $Σ$$\le3.7\times10^{-21}$ Wm$^{-2}$Hz$^{-1}$ster$^{-1}$ and D$\ge$36.5 pc) and $Σ$(at 1 GHz)=2.7$^{+2.1}_{-1.4}$$\times$ 10$^{-17}$ D$^{{-2.47}^{+0.20}_{-0.16}}$ Wm$^{-2}$Hz$^{-1}$ster$^{-1}$ (for $Σ$$>3.7\times10^{-21}$ Wm$^{-2}$Hz$^{-1}$ster$^{-1}$ and D$

Here, we derive the eigenenergies of two spin-polarized 1D fermions under external harmonic confinement interacting through a zero-range potential, which only acts on odd-parity wave functions, analytically. We also present a divergent-free zero-range potential treatment of two spin-polarized 3D fermions under harmonic confinement. Our pseudo-potential treatments are verified through numerical calculations for short-range model potentials.

description: An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during January-May 2006 to determine the effect of variety and planting method on the yield of boro rice. Four varieties viz., BINADHAN-5, BINADHAN-6, BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan29, and three planting methods viz., transplanting method, drum seeding and line sowing were included as experimental treatments. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. BINADHAN-5 produced the highest grain yield (4.61 t ha-1) which was the consequence of highest number of effective tillers hill-1 and highest number of grains panicle-1. Among the planning methods, transplanting method produced the maximum grain yield (4.59 t ha-1) because of highest number of grains panicle-1. In case of effect of interaction of BINADHAN-5 and transplanting method produced the highest grain (5.20 t ha-1) yield. It may be concluded that the variety BINADHAN-5 may be grown following transplanting method for higher grain yield in boro season.

Para to Ortho transition of metallic dimers on Si(001)

description: Extensive electronic structure calculations are performed to obtain the stable geometries of metals like Al, Ga and In on the Si(001) surface at 0.5 ML and 1 ML coverages. Our results coupled with previous theoretical findings explain the recent experimental data in a comprehensive fashion. At low coverages, as shown by previous works, `Para' dimers give the lowest energy structure. With increasing coverage beyond 0.5 ML, `Ortho' dimers become part of low energy configurations leading toward a `Para' to `Ortho' transition at 1 ML coverage. For In mixed staggered dimers (`Ortho' and `Para') give the lowest energy configuration. For Ga, mixed dimers are non-staggered, while for Al `Para' to `Ortho' transition of dimers is complete. Thus at intermediate coverages between 0.5 and 1 ML, the `Ortho' and `Para' dimers may coexist on the surface. Consequently, this may be an explanation of the fact that the experimental observations can be successfully interpreted using either orientation. A supported zigzag structure at 0.5 ML, which resembles ${\rm (CH)_x}$, does not undergo a dimerization transition, and hence stays semi-metallic. Also, unlike ${\rm (CH)_x}$ the soliton formation is ruled out for this structure.

description: The extension of quantum thermodynamics to situations that go beyond standard thermodynamic settings comprises an important and interesting aspect of its development. One such situation is the analysis of the thermodynamic consequences of structured environments that induce a non-Markovian dynamics. We study a quantum Otto refrigerator where the standard Markovian cold reservoir is replaced by a specific engineered cold reservoir which may induce a Markovian or non-Markovian dynamics on the quantum refrigerant system. The two dynamical regimes can be interchanged by varying the coupling between the refrigerant and the reservoir. An increase of non-Markovian effects will be related to an increase of the coupling strength, which in turn will make the energy stored in the interaction Hamiltonian, the interaction energy, increasingly relevant. We show how the figures of merit, the coefficient of performance and the cooling power, change for non-negligible interaction energies, discussing how neglecting this effect would lead to an overestimation of the refrigerator performance. Finally, we also consider a numerical simulation of a spin quantum refrigerator with experimentally feasible parameters to better illustrate the non-Markovian effects induced by the engineered cold reservoir. We argue that a moderate non-Markovian dynamics performs better than either a Markovian or a strong non-Markovian regime of operation.

description: BRRI dhan29, a high yielding inbred variety, was grown in boro season on five different dates of transplanting viz. 1 January, 10 January, 20 January, 30 January and 10 February under four levels of nitrogen i.e. 80, 100, 120 and 140 kg ha-1 at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh in 2005-2006 aimed at assessing the influence of dates of planting and nitrogen level on different crop characters and yields of grain and straw of rice. Grain yield of rice planted on 20 January was highest (4.99 t ha-1) due to highest number of grains panicle-1 (130.7) and 1000-grain weight. The lowest yield (3.77 t ha-1) was obtained from 10 February and was at par with 1 January ones. Grain yield registered an increasing trend upto 120 kg N ha-1 (4.93 t ha-1) but differed significantly form second highest (4.30 t ha-1) yield obtained from 140 kg N ha -I. The lowest grain yield (3.91 t ha -I) was recorded from 80 kg N had. Straw yield was also found the highest (5.82 t ha-1) from 120 kg N ha-1 The second highest nitrogen level (120 kg ha-1) interacted favourably with 20 January plantation to give highest grain and straw yields (5.59 and 6.25 t ha-1, respectively). Considering grain and straw yields and total growth duration transplanting on 20th January with 120 kg N ha-1 was found to appear more appropriate within the per view of the study area.

description: Squeezed states are a primary resource for continuous-variable (CV) quantum information processing. To implement CV protocols in a scalable and robust way, it is desirable to generate and manipulate squeezed states using an integrated photonics platform. In this Letter, we demonstrate the generation of quadrature-phase squeezed states in the radio-frequency carrier sideband using a small-footprint silicon-nitride microresonator with a dual-pumped four-wave-mixing process. We record a squeezed noise level of 1.34 dB ($\pm$0.16 dB) below the photocurrent shot noise, which corresponds to 3.09 dB ($\pm$0.49 dB) of quadrature squeezing on chip. We also show that it is critical to account for the nonlinear behavior of the pump fields to properly predict the squeezing that can be generated in this system. This technology represents a significant step toward creating and manipulating large-scale CV cluster states that can be used for quantum information applications including universal quantum computing.

description: This paper aims to investigate productivity and profitability growth in the context of changing farm structure in Ukraine. We address the question of how different farm types, concretely holding enterprises and non-holdings have comparatively performed on the background of their different business strategies. We found that there are no significant differences in terms of productivity between them. Additionally, these results reveal that further research should include corporate level analysis of holdings in order to capture the effects of diversification, since internal management practices, peculiarities of organizational and governance structures as well as inter-subsidiary relationships may tangle the analysis of affiliation effects.

Integral transform
Kernel properties

description: The Modulating Function Method finds a variety of applications in the fields of estimating parameters, system states and unknown signals. In general, the approach is based on an integral transform approach over a fixed or moving time horizon. Its major advantages include maintaining a continuous time perspective, robustness against measurement noise as well as fast non-asymptotic estimation in fixed time.
 Selecting an appropriate modulation kernel forms the central design task. So far, the emphasis was put on choosing the right boundary conditions while the function shape was neglected. In order to being able to assess the filtering properties of the modulation operator and to ultimately develop guidelines for the Modulating Function design, a mathematical analysis of the function properties is performed. This includes the distribution of roots, slope conditions near the interval boundaries and extrema. All these considerations refer to the kernel function and its higher order derivatives. Furthermore, the scaling impact of the modulation interval is examined.

description: Subsidies for intermediate inputs represent considerable transfers from governments to farmers and, are implemented on a large scale in many developing countries to primarily achieve objectives of (1) national food security and (2) raising incomes for the poor and technology constrained farmers. Clearly, a trade-off exists between the two objectives whereby targeting beneficiaries for achieving pro-poor growth may lead to equity at the expense of efficiency. Nevertheless, knowing which group of farmers benefit more or less from these budgetary transfers is essential in order to re-allocate scarce budgetary resources more effectively. Taking the case of Rwanda as an example, this study uses an empirical modelling approach to assess the income and welfare effects of subsidies for intermediate inputs (i.e. fertilizers and improved seeds) across a heterogeneous set of agricultural households, under competitive and monopolistic input market structures. The results show positive policy outcomes for all representative households and these outcomes are twice higher when the input market structure is competitive. Although subsidies for inputs eventually help poor households to overcome cost burdens and participate in markets, a large share of the policy transfers is captured by large-scale producers who generally have the liquidity to purchase unsubsidized inputs.

description: We find that the generally accepted security criteria are flawed for a whole class of protocols for quantum cryptography. This is so because a standard assumption of the security analysis, namely that the so-called square-root measurement is optimal for eavesdropping purposes, is not true in general. There are rather large parameter regimes in which the optimal measurement extracts substantially more information than the square-root measurement.

description: Precision agricultural technologies (PAT) promise an approach to agricultural production whichboth enhances productivity and minimises environmental herm. Despite promising economic gains from PAT, uptake within Europe is currently low. We explore the factors behind adoption and non-adoption of PAT using a survey of 971 European farmers, focusing on the role of incentives influencing adoption. We examine current non-adopters' intentions for uptake PAT and current adopters intentions to uptake more PAT. We augment past behavioural models applied to PAT uptake by examining the effect of financial and non-financial incentives and attitudes towards payoffs of the technology. We apply a zero-inflated Poisson regression. Results indicate that non-adopters are distinct from adopters and more favourable to financial and non-financial incentives, whereas adopters support incentives around only a limited set of incentives. Attitudinal differences towards certainty of outcome and belief in the payback also emerge between these two groups. These are further explored qualitatively. The results indicate that a gradient of adoption is occurring with specific groups of farmers identifying particular needs but also responding to differing incentives. Recognition of these differences at policy level could lead to cost-effective interventions which maximise uptake, generate returns to farmers and meet policy desires for sustainable agricultural production.

Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation of Needle Insertion into Soft Tissue

description: In this study we present a kinematic approach to modeling needle insertion into soft tissues. The kinematic approach allows the presentation of the problem as Dirichlet-type (i.e. driven by enforced motion of boundaries) and therefore weakly sensitive to unknown properties of the tissues and needle-tissue interaction. The parameters used in the kinematic approach are straightforward to determine from images. Our method uses Meshless Total Lagrangian Explicit Dynamics (MTLED) framework to compute soft tissue deformations. The proposed scheme was validated against experiments of needle insertion into silicone gel samples. We also present a simulation of needle insertion into the brain demonstrating the method's insensitivity to assumed mechanical properties of tissue.

description: Background: Healthcare providers are increasingly aware of the need to tailor interventions to address the unique challenges and opportunities that accompany developmental trajectories of transition-age youth (TAY, 16-26 years old). TAY typically experience a disruption within their previously established social roles and physical environments, while simultaneously exploring autonomy and developing interests in career pursuits. Purpose: Drawing from perspectives of TAY, we will discuss implications of psychosocial development for occupational therapy intervention across diverse practice areas: physical rehabilitation, mental health, and chronic disease management. Methods: Data are generated from three projects involving primarily low-income, racial/ethnic minority TAY: 1) narrative data focusing on everyday experiences for TAY with spinal cord injuries, 2) survey responses and field notes recorded from clinical conversations at a community-based mental health setting, and 3) qualitative data and treatment notes from a diabetes managementintervention. Results: There is often a disconnect between the priorities, goals, and preferences of TAY, their developmental needs, and existing models of healthcare. Emic perspectives illustrate complex negotiations that must occur for TAY to integrate recommendations from healthcare providers into their daily lives. For example, health management occupations often conflict with other valued activities, especially in a context of limited social and environmental resources. Perspectives from TAY illustrate varying preferences for healthcare delivery, including preferred treatments, modes of communication, and desired autonomy within healthcare encounters. Conclusion: Narratives of TAY illustrate discrepancies between their everyday realities and current health-related services. Obtaining various stakeholder perspectives can contribute to developing collaborative models, which promote long-term health.

description: The Internet of Things comes along with new challenges for experimenting, testing, and operating decentralized socio-technical systems at large-scale. In such systems, autonomous agents interact locally with their users, and remotely with other agents to make intelligent collective choices. Via these interactions they self-regulate the consumption and production of distributed resources. While such complex systems are often deployed and operated using centralized computing infrastructures, the socio-technical nature of these decentralized systems requires new value-sensitive design paradigms; empowering trust, transparency, and alignment with citizens' social values, such as privacy preservation, autonomy, and fairness among citizens' choices. Currently, instruments and tools to study such systems and guide the prototyping process from simulation to live deployment are missing, or not practical in this distributed socio-technical context. This paper bridges this gap by introducing a novel testbed architecture for decentralized socio-technical systems running on IoT. This new architecture is designed for a seamless reusability of (i) application-independent decentralized services by an IoT application, and (ii) different IoT applications by the same decentralized service. This dual self-integration promises IoT applications that are simpler to prototype, and can interoperate with decentralized services during runtime to self-integrate more complex functionality. Such integration provides stronger validation of IoT applications, and improves resource utilization. Pressure and crash tests during continuous operations of several weeks, with more than 80K network joining and leaving of agents, 2.4M parameter changes, and 100M communicated messages, confirm the robustness and practicality of the testbed architecture.

description: This paper uses a comparative case study approach of a public and private cassava outgrower scheme in Ghana to investigate which contract farming arrangements are equitable and sustainable for both farmers and agribusiness firms. A complementary combination of qualitative and quantitative methods is employed to assess the sustainability of these institutional arrangements. The results indicate that ad hoc or opportunistic investments that only address smallholders marketing challenges are not sufficient to ensure mutually beneficial and sustainable schemes. The results suggest that firms capacity and commitment to design contracts with embedded support services for outgrowers is essential to smallholder participation and the long term viability of these arrangements. Public-private partnerships in outgrower schemes can present a viable option that harnesses the strengths of both sectors and overcomes their institutional weaknesses.

description: In this paper, we generalize the Riemann-Liouville differential and integral operators on the space of Henstock-Kurzweil integrable distributions, $D_{HK}$. We obtain new fundamental properties of the fractional derivative and integral, a general version of the fundamental theorem of fractional calculus, semigroup property for the Riemann-Liouville integral operators and relations between the Riemann-Liouville integral and differential operators. Also, we achieve a generalized characterization of the solution for the Abel integral equation. Finally, we show relations for the Fourier transform of fractional derivative and integral. These results are based on the properties of the distributional Henstock-Kurzweil integral and convolution.
