 Holotype
KENYA • ♂; “Forêt de L’Elgon, Versant Est. 2.700–2.800m., Mission de l’Omo, ARAMBOURG, CHAPPUIS, JEANNEL, 1932–1933.” (Risbec 1950: 552); MNHN EY22473.  Distribution
Afrotropical.  Comments
 Risbec (1950) described the species from a single male, and thought it could be related to C. oriphilus, C. naivashae or C. alticola, three species all described by Kieffer based on single female specimens. Risbec comments that Kieffer’s descriptions are not detailed enough to accurately match this male to any of the three females, suggesting that Risbec had not viewed those three Kieffer types at the time of the 1950 publication. The introduction to his key to African and Malagasy Ceraphronoidea (Risbec 1955) also omits C. oriphilus, C. naivashae and C. alticola due to his confusion with Kieffer’s original descriptions. Even though all three specimens were deposited at the MNHN, it appears that Risbec never viewed them.
 Dessart did not dissect the male holotype or leave any labels on it indicating that he had viewed it, but he did include the species in a key to African Ceraphron species south of the Sahara, where he wrote that the male had been “insuffisamment décrit” and described a few additional characters (Dessart 1989: 227). Thus, we know that Dessart did view this specimen. Dessart (1989) distinguished this species from C. alticola and C. naivashae in this key and had also previously synonymized Ceraphron oriphilus with Aphanogmus fumipennis (Dessart 1966a), so it is not likely that this specimen is the male to any of Kieffer’s three female specimens, contrary to what Risbec (1950) thought.
The male holotype specimen (MNHN EY22473) is on a double point mount. The pin through the specimen made it difficult to image. The specimen is missing the last two flagellomeres from the right antenna. It was not possible to image the male genitalia, but the specimen appears to have harpe that are pointed and longer than the gonostipes, with distal tufts of setae.

description: Peculiar velocities of galaxies hosting Type Ia supernovae generate a significant systematic effect in deriving the dark energy equation of state w, at level of a few percent. Here we illustrate how the peculiar velocity effect in SN Ia data can be turned from a 'systematic' into a probe of cosmological parameters. We assume a flat Lambda-Cold Dark Matter model (w=-1) and use low and high redshift SN Ia data to derive simultaneously three distinct estimates of the matter density Omega_m which appear in the problem: from the geometry, from the dynamics and from the shape of the matter power spectrum. We find that each of the three Omega_m's agree with the canonical value Omega_m=0.25 to within 1 sigma, for reasonably assumed fluctuation amplitude and Hubble parameter. This is consistent with the standard cosmological scenario for both the geometry and the growth of structure. For fixed Omega_m = 0.25 for all three Omega_m's, we constrain gamma = 0.72 +/- 0.21 in the growth factor Omega_m(z)^gamma, so we cannot currently distinguish between standard Einstein gravity and predictions from some modified gravity models. Future surveys of thousands of SN Ia, or inclusion of peculiar velocity data, could significantly improve the above tests.

description: We emphasize that there exist four Dirac-type points in the electron-energy spectrum of a graphite bilayer near the point K of its Brillouin zone. One of the Dirac points is at the point K, and three Dirac points lie nearby. Each of these three points generates the Berry phase $π$, while the Dirac point at K gives the phase $-π$. It is these four points that determine the Berry phase in the bilayer. If an electron orbit surrounds all these points, the Berry phase is equal to $2π$.

description: Like surfers, managers and their organisations have to ride on a sea of change-that can twist and turn with all the power of the ocean. Managers of the future will have to ride this turbulence with increased skill and many important competencies will be required In this paper the skill of creativity, as a human resource, will be addressed in the context of farm management. The focus is on creative problem solving. At first the concept of problem solving is discussed in an effort to move away from a myopic view of “problems”. Three broad kinds of problems are pointed out and the role of creativity within each discussed. Working in discovered or constructed problem environments seems to be related to the creativity aspect of problem solving. Six stages of the creative problem solving process are listed and the two kinds of thought processes, namely divergent and convergent activities within each stage, are accentuated Various factors that are thought to stifle creativity are identified and consideration is given to factors that can develop a climate in which both creativity and innovation can flourish. Creativity occurs in a social setting and is the interaction between a creative organisation and the creative people within it that produces innovation.

description: The traditional method of delivering farm business management training courses is meeting the requirement of fewer andfewer farm managers. Learning concepts and developing skills just-in-case ’ they will be used is being replaced by just-in-time ’ learning and information access.
This paper documents the shift in extension client interest; describes the components of the just-in-time ’ learning model with its foundations in human performance technology research; and links to the concepts of knowledge management on the part ofextension agencies. Finally, examples of farm management development activities using this new model in Alberta, Canada are illustrated Examples include development of a 'community or discussion' web site - Agri-vilie, an information delivery web site - Ropin' the Web, and biannual newsmagazine - Right Now. In the authors ’ opinion, the just-in-time1 conceptsform the basicfundamentals of effective management development extension programs of the future.

First Measurement of the J/psi Azimuthal Anisotropy in PHENIX at Forward Rapidity in Au+Au Collisions at sqrt s(NN) = 200 GeV
Creators: name: Silvestre, Catherine
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The PHENIX experiment has shown that J/psis are suppressed in central Au+Au collisions at a center of mass energy per nucleon-nucleon collision sqrt s(NN) = 200 GeV, and that the suppression is larger at forward than at mid-rapidity. Part of this difference may be explained by cold nuclear matter effects but the most central collisions suggest that regeneration mechanisms could be at play. In 2007, PHENIX collected almost four times more Au+Au collisions at this energy than used for previous published results. Moreover, the addition of a new reaction plane detector allows a much better analysis of the J/psi behavior in the azimuthal plane. Since a large elliptic flow has been measured for open charm, measuring J/psi azimuthal anisotropies may give a hint if J/psi are recombined in the expanding matter. First PHENIX results of J/psi elliptic flow as a function of transverse momentum at forward rapidity are presented in this article. The analysis is detailed and results are compared to mid-rapidity PHENIX preliminary results as well as to predictions.

Afrotropical.  Comments
 Kieffer (1913b) only described the female of this species, naming it for its crenulate antennae. Dessart (1964: 120, comments) noted that the species is similar to Ceraphron xanthosoma, another species Kieffer described from Africa that also has crenulate antennae, “comme bon nombre d’autres espèces, d’ailleurs”, but that they differ in coloration and the shape of the antenna.
 It was not until 1966 that Dessart re-described and illustrated the holotype female specimen of Ceraphron crenulatus. Dessart asserted that the species was easily recognizable by its reduced wing state, the shape of the head (especially the occipital and vertical keels), the ocellar depressions, and the reduced eye size (Dessart 1966a). He also noted that the reduced eyes and large apical antennal section are shared
 between this species and the palearctic species Ceraphron pristomicrops Dessart, 1965, which has no ocelli, even more reduced wings, and a broader metasomatic groove.
The specimen is in ethanol (vial MNHN EY25351), and does not have any locality labels associated with it, though it does bear determination labels from Dessart and Kieffer. Kieffer’s determination label reads “ Ceraphron crenulatus || type 39 K.”. Dessart made two slide preparations (prép. no. 6503/301), one of the right antennae (MNHN EY22438) and one of the anterior and posterior right wings (MNHN EY22439). Oddly, the preparation year given on the slides is 1965, while the label Dessart put on the ethanol specimen is from 1966.

The Role of Model Farms in Practical Oriented Farm Management Training in Hungary

Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession

description: The purpose of this paper is to review experience in establishing and operating model farms for practical oriented agricultural training and demonstrate examples of these farms from Hungary. Training ofpotential farmers or farm managers should comprise teaching of both theoretical and practical knowledge. Students studying agricultural engineering in college or university level can be considered as potential farmers. In order to start successful farm business activities after finishing their studies the acquisition of practical knowledge of farming on a skilled level has greater importance than to get a degree. Such a kind of agricultural training can not be realised without different practical educational methods and tools. To introduce these tools into the educational practice necessitates a proper scene where the real conditions of farming could be demonstrated for the students. In Hungary this scene could be either a model farm belonging to a college or a university or these institutions can co-operate or contract with an existing farm business enterprise to provide educational models. Considering recent and further restructuring of Hungarian agriculture and the human resource background of it the rapid development of practical oriented farm management training has utmost inportance. During this process only well-informed professionals with high theoretical and practical qualification will be able to establish and manage successful, competitive and sustainable farms.

description: In order to evaluate the adoption of vaccine technology in Qwaqwa, a former Sotho- speaking homeland in the Eastern Free State, a questionnaire was developed and completed amongst 99 small ruminant (sheep and goat) farmers and a logit model was fit to determine the variables contributing to the adoption of this veterinary technology. There are no full adopters of vaccination technology; however, most of the farmers used some vaccines. The results suggested that larger herds, higher percentage sheep in the herd and farmers who approach extension officers to make financial decisions, tend to use more vaccines. Most of these farmers, and particularly those with more access to transport, make less use of preventative vaccines and rather prefer curative remedies - “they react on what they see when it comes to the animal diseases*'. Extension visits were not significant to the partial adoption of vaccines, which is in contrast with most of the research published on technology transfer and adoption.

description: In order to gain insight into the physical mechanisms leading to the formation of stars and their assembly in galaxies, we compare the predictions of the MOdel for the Rise of GAlaxies aNd Active nuclei (MORGANA) to the properties of K- and 850 micron-selected galaxies (such as number counts, redshift distributions and luminosity functions) by combining MORGANA with the spectrophotometric model GRASIL. We find that it is possible to reproduce the K- and 850 micron-band datasets at the same time and with a standard Salpeter IMF, and ascribe this success to our improved modeling of cooling in DM halos. We then predict that massively star-forming discs are common at z~2 and dominate the star-formation rate, but most of them merge with other galaxies within ~100 Myr. Our preferred model produces an overabundance of bright galaxies at z<1; this overabundance might be connected to the build-up of the diffuse stellar component in galaxy clusters, as suggested by Monaco et al. (2006), but a naive implementation of the mechanism suggested in that paper does not produce a sufficient slow-down of the evolution of these objects. Moreover, our model over-predicts the number of 10^{10}-10^{11} M_sun galaxies at z~1; this is a common behavior of theoretical models as shown by Fontana et al. (2006). These findings show that, while the overall build-up of the stellar mass is correctly reproduced by galaxy formation models, the ``downsizing'' trend of galaxies is not fully reproduced yet. This hints to some missing feedback mechanism in order to reproduce at the same time the formation of both the massive and the small galaxies.

description: Four levels of spoken French are reflected by the Petit Robert, one of the more widely used French dictionaries. Our aim was to explore the dictionary's conveyance not only of the lexicographic evolution of the four levels of French — familier, populaire, vulgaire, and argotique - but also of the evolution of interactions between social classes and the spoken word. In the scope of the four levels of French, all modifications between the 1967 edition and the 1978 edition of the Petit Robert have been recorded. As the data was being processed by the computer, patterns began to emerge, providing some clues as to how the four levels of language have evolved in the span of eleven years and how society's attitudes and values may have changed in that period. The introduction of the thesis deals primarily with the role of the dictionary in its social context. Each of the four chapters first discusses the definition of the one of the four levels of language and then considers the data obtained in light of that definition. In addition, the appendix contains an alphabetically tabulated date base from the two editions of the Petit Robert.

description: The Summit Craters system represents the point of maximum expression of the persistent tectonic activity at Mount Etna Volcano. The Muography of Etna Volcano (MEV) Project began in 2016 as a pilot project for the successive installation of a permanent muographic observatory. It aims to demonstrate the detector's capability to observe density anomalies inside the volcanic edifice and monitor their time evolution. The first muon telescope built by the collaboration and installed at the base of the North-East Crater from August 2017 to October 2019 was already able to get significant results. This work describes the characteristics of the muon-telescope and summarizes the principal outcomes obtained, with a quick look at the current status of the project and future developments.
An analysis on metric-driven multi-target sensor management: GOSPA versus OSPA

description: This paper presents an analysis on sensor management using a cost function based on a multi-target metric, in particular, the optimal subpattern-assignment (OSPA) metric, the unnormalised OSPA (UOSPA) metric and the generalised OSPA (GOSPA) metric (α=2). We consider the problem of managing an array of sensors, where each sensor is able to observe a region of the surveillance area, not covered by other sensors, with a given sensing cost. We look at the case in which there are far-away, independent potential targets, at maximum one per sensor region. In this set-up, the optimal action using GOSPA is taken for each sensor independently, as we may expect. On the contrary, as a consequence of the spooky effect at a distance in optimal OSPA/UOSPA estimation, the optimal actions for different sensors using OSPA and UOSPA are entangled.

A Semi-Empirical Study of the Mass Distribution of Horizontal Branch Stars in M3 (NGC 5272)

description: Horizontal branch (HB) stars in globular clusters offer us a probe of the mass loss mechanisms taking place in red giants. For M3 (NGC 5272), different shapes for the HB mass distribution have been suggested, including Gaussian and sharply bimodal alternatives. Here we study the mass distribution of HB stars in M3 by comparing evolutionary tracks and photometric observations. Our approach is thus of a semi-empirical nature, describing as it does the mass distribution that is favored from the standpoint of canonical stellar evolutionary predictions for the distribution of stars across the CMD. We locate, for each individual HB star, the evolutionary track whose distance from the star's observed color and magnitude is a minimum. Artificial tests reveal that our method would be able to detect a bimodal mass distribution, if present. We study the impact of different procedures for taking into account the evolutionary speed, and conclude that they have but a small effect upon the inferred mass distribution. We find that a Gaussian shape, though providing a reasonable first approximation, fails to account for the detailed shape of M3's HB mass distribution: the latter may have skewness and kurtosis that deviate slightly from a perfectly Gaussian solution. Alternatively, the excess of stars towards the wings of the distribution may also be accounted for in terms of a bimodal distribution in which both the low- and the high-mass modes are normal, the former being significantly wider than the latter. However, we also show that the inferred distribution of evolutionary times is inconsistent with theoretical expectations. This result is confirmed on the basis of three independent sets of HB models, suggesting that the latter underestimate the effects of evolution away from the zero-age HB. (abridged)

description: To date, we know that  Caribbean Yellow Band Disease (CYBD) has direct effects on coral zooxanthellae and  compromises detoxification mechanisms in the holobiont. However, little is known about the ability of diseased corals to recover after being exposed to xenobiotics. Because of this, we evaluated and to compared the detoxification response in healthy and diseased corals from Orbicella faveolata  during and after exposure to Benzo (a) pyrene.

description: As a result of a comparative analysis of the activities and attitudes of agri-tourism operators in Umbria, Italy and the farmhouse accommodation providers in Hiroshima, Japan, based on data from surveys conducted by the authors, we defined Umbria as being at a higher equilibrium stage than Hiroshima. We found differences in terms of the portion of operators from a non-farming background, operation period, business performance, and attitudes concerning future directions. Generally, operators in Italian agri-tourism were more positive, creating characteristic activities and attracting urban tourists, than their Japanese counterparts. Thus, a higher utilization of local resources is achieved in Umbria than in Hiroshima. The main factor attributed to this difference is to the reservation cost for starting agritourism; which is higher in Hiroshima where there are more off-farm job opportunities available for farmers than in Umbria,

description: The educational system has changed in the transition period in the CEE countries. There is not common pattern to use in the agricultural education in every country. The CEE countries started the changes from different base and different kind of development ways. In the last 2-3 years the weight is more on the quality of the teaching, curriculum development according to the market needs, sustainable agricultural production and rural development, and education for self- employment. In the CEEC the attitude of teaching staff has changed a lot in the last decade. By the autonomy of the educational organisations (secondary schools, colleges, universities) the government does not tell what to learn, but trying to give information how is the future need is changing. The education is trying to fulfil the governmental and the individual demand as well. The changes are in the direction to process of developing of personality. The attitude of agricultural education in the CEE Countries starts to follow the principles of education. The education system provides time for the students to develop their activities, to recognise what is the problem and deaf with the problem.

description: Teaching producers farm record keeping has always been difficult. Producers view it as a mysterious, impossible task. As part of an educational program designed for United States Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency (FSA) borrowers, teaching innovations were needed to remove the mystery and make record keeping understandable. The innovations used include: realistic receipts, a proven farm record book, use of dual overhead projectors to simultaneously display receipts and book pages when entering transactions, ample consideration of participant suggestions about entering transactions, no mention of "correct entries," and an honest attempt to establish producer ownership of their record book information.

description: With new emerging technologies, such as satellites and drones, archaeologists collect data over large areas. However, it becomes difficult to process such data in time. Archaeological data also have many different formats (images, texts, sensor data) and can be structured, semi-structured and unstructured. Such variety makes data difficult to collect, store, manage, search and analyze effectively. A few approaches have been proposed, but none of them covers the full data lifecycle nor provides an efficient data management system. Hence, we propose the use of a data lake to provide centralized data stores to host heterogeneous data, as well as tools for data quality checking, cleaning, transformation, and analysis. In this paper, we propose a generic, flexible and complete data lake architecture. Our metadata management system exploits goldMEDAL, which is the most complete metadata model currently available. Finally, we detail the concrete implementation of this architecture dedicated to an archaeological project.

description: The increase in indigenous oil firms’ participation (IOFP) and backward linkages through which additional jobs could be created was the main target of the local content policy (LC policy) implemented in the Nigerian oil sector over the past decade. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to assess whether IOFP and backward linkages mediate the relationship between the LC policy and job creation in the country’s oil sector on which there was little empirical research. Data obtained from Nigerian indigenous oil service firms through self-administered questionnaires were analysed by using a bootstrapping technique. Our results revealed that there was an indirect effect of the LC policy on the creation of new jobs. This finding sheds light on the positive impact of the LC policy. Our results imply that if Nigeria’s LC policy is effective and efficient, increased job opportunities will follow. This may speed up the country’s vision of 2020 on value-addition in achieving economic development through the oil sector.
New twist field couplings from the partition function for multiply wrapped D-branes

description: We consider toroidal compactifications of bosonic string theory with particular regard to the phases (cocycles) necessary for a consistent definition of the vertex operators, the boundary states and the T-duality rules. We use these ingredients to compute the planar multi-loop partition function describing the interaction among magnetized or intersecting D-branes, also in presence of open string moduli. It turns out that unitarity in the open string channel crucially depends on the presence of the cocycles. We then focus on the 2-loop case and study the degeneration limit where this partition function is directly related to the tree-level 3-point correlators between twist fields. These correlators represent the main ingredient in the computation of Yukawa couplings and other terms in the effective action for D-brane phenomenological models. By factorizing the 2-loop partition function we are able to compute the 3-point couplings for abelian twist fields on generic non-factorized tori, thus generalizing previous expressions valid for the 2-torus.

description: One requirement for many Farm Service Agency (FSA) borrowers is that they attend financial management training. The most difficult obstacle to overcome in the training is the fact that most participants are not happy about being there. Many are there simply because training participation is a requirement in obtaining a loan through the FSA. This paper will share experiences in planning and conducting farm management training fora less than enthusiastic audience. Post workshop evaluations suggest our efforts have been successful. When asked if they would recommend this training to other farmers in closing evaluations, 97% of participants say “Yes”.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The awareness of human resource management issues in modem farm management is essential Each family farm has its own unique characteristics and differing roles and responsibilities of family members on and off the farm due to different factors, such as decision-making styles, knowledge base, attitudes, cultural differences and type of farm. Economic trends, demographic trends, and world markets are examples of external factors that apply pressure on farm managers, which, in turn, is reflected in their management approach. In Saskatchewan, Canada, statistics are available for agricultural population, employment, industry, farm vs. off-farm income, and education levels of farmers. The focus on farm business management has tended to be on production, marketing, and financial management, with somewhat less emphasis on human resource management. In the past, many farm labourers have been in-family employees. With the transition to larger and more diversified farming styles, farm mangers are recognizing relationship problems with employees, even to the point of legal action. Farm managers are now seeking information on human resource management in order to improve their management skills. Education and improved communication skills contribute to improved success both with the family and the business employees. This paper examines the links between a successful agribusiness operation and human resource management skills. Farmers who have taken a goal-directed management course, such as Farming to Win, The Rural Family, Taking Care of Business, or AgDirections 2000 have indicated a difference in their farm business management skills, including a noticeable improvement in the way they deal with people.

description: Worker guidance systems are digital assistance systems in production, which provide work‐related information and, thus, guide employees through production processes. This article describes the user‐centered development of such a worker guidance system for a flexible production line in a metrology company. Usage context analysis and requirements analysis illustrate the need for a simple and independent system that can be used voluntarily by employees. After two iterations of the human‐centered design process, an interactive software prototype was created and implemented on a tablet personal computer. In this prototype, all essential process and assembly information in the flexible production line is available to the employees in the form of text descriptions and pictures as step‐by‐step instructions, which can be selected via two‐step navigation. The final evaluation was conducted as a user study with N = 10 assembly workers in the flexible production line under realistic conditions and was also intended to find out at which level of detail the information should be displayed in the system. The system scored well on the system usability scale (between 65.8 and 70.8) and concerning acceptance. Using the worker guidance system, no assembly faults occurred during the user study. Due to the significantly shorter assembly time, but no further significant differences, it was decided to set up the less detailed assembly information as a standard in the system. However, employees can call up more detailed information, if necessary. This system will be used by the company in the future.
A Methodology for Setting Long Term, Fixed Cash Farmland Leases

description: In North America, a number of environmental and wildlife institutions are interested in long term farmland leases because farm ownership laws often restrict their ownership of farmland. These groups have a number of special needs in leasing including long term lease life times and exceptional transparency to both the public and to farmland owners. Canadian farmland and stock markets are used to derive the risk premiums associated with a fixed versus a variable cash payment and alternative contract lengths. Using an example tract, special attention is given to the assessment of alternative lease payment structures, including split payment, payment up front, and intermediate length (up to 5 years) leases.
