description: In the growing degree days (GDD) model for plants, 0°C or 5°C have been empirically used as base temperature (BT) for the GDD model, without experimental determination. In this study, developmental periods for bud break and leaf opening of mizunara oak, Quercus crispula were determined by using samples from locations separated by 900 km, cut branches from central Japan and potted saplings from northern Japan. The samples from each location were then grown in growth chambers under the four constant temperatures in different years. The relationships between the developmental rate and temperature were determined, BTs were calculated by regression analyses, and the required GDDs were determined. Multiple regression was applied to compare model fittings for bud break and leaf opening. Observational data were fitted with a logistic curve to empirically determine the BT and GDD for bud break. Better fitting was obtained for bud break than for leaf opening, in the growth chamber experiment as well as in the multiple regression, probably because bud break was controlled by the GDD accumulation, while the rate of leaf opening was directly and exponentially influenced by temperature. The BT for bud break obtained by the growth chamber experiments varied from 0.09°C–4.88°C between the two locations, and also within one location by year. A large variation in the GDD accumulation was recognized in the field observation at each location. These results indicate additional environmental factors not included in the GDD calculation likely influenced the leafing phenology of Q. crispula.

The Act of Waiting
Creators: name: Pouzenc, Joanne
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2015

description: In a society obsessed with speed and efficiency, there are not so many situations where a body accepts waiting. Most of the times, when waiting is necessary, waiting spaces try to provide the mini-mum comfort for a body to cope with the context: seats, magazines and smart phones provide the mind the mental escape the body needs to stay uncomplainingly inactive while maintaining a distance from the other waiting bodies.In fact, if the space allocated for waiting doesn’t show the specific characteristics of a waiting area — queuing lines poles, peripheral chairs and benches, red digital numbers and their stressful call — the act of waiting becomes less acceptable: the minds seem to be programmed to react to signals they can clearly identify in order to accept a given situation. Logically, the occupied time feels shorter than the unoccupied time or in other terms, time is running faster when it’s not dedicated to waiting. And the number of distractions needed to occupy the minds keeps diversifying: we are seeing now-adays the multiplication of visual displays in waiting places being oc-cupied by moving advertisements aiming to replace boredom with consumerist desires.

description: In this study, Coccinellidae were collected and observed at 42 sites located on El Hierro (Spain), the western-most island of the Canary archipelago, during 2017 and 2019 excursions. A total of 1553 specimens belonging to 18 spe-cies were recorded, of which four species are newly reported from El Hierro. The total number of ladybird species so far documented to inhabit El Hierro is 22. After examination of the morphological features Scymnus cercyonides Wollaston, 1864 is transferred from the subgenus Pullus Mulsant, 1846 to Mimopullus Fürsch, 1987. Chilocorus canariensis Crotch, 1874 and Novius canariensis Korschefsky, 1935 are confirmed to be valid species.

description: Trumpler 20 is an old open cluster (OC) located toward the Galactic centre, at about 3 kpc from the Sun and $\sim$7 kpc from the Galactic centre. Its position makes this cluster particularly interesting in the framework of the chemical properties of the Galactic disc because very few old OCs reside in the inner part of the disc. For this reason it has been selected as a cluster target of the Gaia-ESO Survey, and spectra of many stars in the main sequence and red clump phases are now available. Moreover, although it has been studied by several authors in the past, no consensus on the evolutionary status of Tr 20 has been reached. The heavy contamination of field stars (the line of sight of Tr 20 crosses the Carina spiral arm) complicates a correct interpretation. Another interesting aspect of the cluster is that it shows a broadened main-sequence turn-off and a prominent and extended red-clump, characteristics that are not easily explained by classical evolutionary models. Exploiting both spectroscopic information from the Gaia-ESO Survey (and the ESO archive) and literature photometry, we obtain a detailed and accurate analysis of the properties of the cluster. We make use of the first accurate metallicity measurement ever obtained from several spectra of red clump stars, and of cluster membership determination using radial velocities. According to the evolutionary models adopted, we find that Tr 20 has an age in the range 1.35-1.66 Gyr, an average reddening $E(B-V)$ in the range 0.31-0.35 mag, and a distance modulus $(m-M)_0$ between 12.64 and 12.72 mag. The spectroscopic metallicity is [Fe/H]=+0.17 dex. We discuss the structural properties of the object and constrain possible hypotheses for its broadened upper main sequence by estimating the effect of differential reddening and its extended red clump.

description: Motivation: Although principal component analysis (PCA) is widely used for the dimensional reduction of biomedical data, interpretation of PCA results remains daunting. Most existing methods attempt to explain each principal component (PC) in terms of a small number of variables by generating approximate PCs with few non-zero loadings. Although useful when just a few variables dominate the population PCs, these methods are often inadequate for characterizing the PCs of high-dimensional genomic data. For genomic data, reproducible and biologically meaningful PC interpretation requires methods based on the combined signal of functionally related sets of genes. While gene set testing methods have been widely used in supervised settings to quantify the association of groups of genes with clinical outcomes, these methods have seen only limited application for testing the enrichment of gene sets relative to sample PCs. Results: We describe a novel approach, principal component gene set enrichment (PCGSE), for computing the statistical association between gene sets and the PCs of genomic data. The PCGSE method performs a two-stage competitive gene set test using the correlation between each gene and each PC as the gene-level test statistic with flexible choice of both the gene set test statistic and the method used to compute the null distribution of the gene set statistic. Using simulated data with simulated gene sets and real gene expression data with curated gene sets, we demonstrate that biologically meaningful and computationally efficient results can be obtained from a simple parametric version of the PCGSE method that performs a correlation-adjusted two-sample t-test between the gene-level test statistics for gene set members and genes not in the set.

How General Relativity and Lorentz Covariance Arise from the Spatially Covariant Effective Field Theory of the Transverse, Traceless Graviton

description: Traditional derivations of general relativity from the graviton degrees of freedom assume space-time Lorentz covariance as an axiom. In this essay, we survey recent evidence that general relativity is the unique spatially-covariant effective field theory of the transverse, traceless graviton degrees of freedom. The Lorentz covariance of general relativity, having not been assumed in our analysis, is thus plausibly interpreted as an accidental or emergent symmetry of the gravitational sector. From this point of view, Lorentz covariance is a necessary feature of low-energy graviton dynamics, not a property of space-time. This result has revolutionary implications for fundamental physics.

description: The  ecological  humanities  is  a  new  interdiscipline  that  has emerged  specifically  to  address  the  fact  that  current  ecologi-cal  problems,  including  extinctions,  climate  change,  toxic death  zones, water  degradation,  and  many  others,  are  an-thropogenic  events.  Acknowledging  the  reality  of  human agency, we are no longer in the position of being able to sus-tain  the  idea  that  humans  are  separate  from  nature.  In  Di-pesh  Chakrabarty’s  (2009)  memorable words,  in  the  wake  of our awareness of anthropogenic climate change, the Western division between human history and natural history has now been breached.

description: Can we overcome our hyper-separation from the more-than-human  world  and  take  up  membership  in  a  thoroughly  eco-logical  community  of  life?  While  the  demands  of  “the  econ-omy” are set in opposition to the needs of “the environment”; while the economy is seen as a vulnerable system that cannot accommodate allocations of social wealth to earth-repair and species  protection  without  risking  collapse;  while  the  eco-nomic “we” continues to squander and ignore the gifts of the more-than-human world that gives us life, the answer seems to  be  a  depressing  “No.”  To  answer  “Yes”  we  must  begin  to rethink  and  re-enact  the  relationship  between  economy  and ecology.
Lives in Connection

description: Climate  change,  spectacular  in  its  scale  and  force,  is  the  cu-mulative result of intertwined human and non-human agen-cies. It is perhaps the most profound expression of the earth’s agency—the capacity  of  this  world  to  act,  to  show  its  power in  all  our  lives.  The  Anthropocene  throws  us  a  particular challenge  to  acknowledge  those  ecological  connections  that sustain  our  existence.  We  live  within  networks,  webs,  and relationships with non-human (or more-than-human) others, including  plants,  animals,  rivers  and  soils.  We  rely  on  each other  for  food  and  fresh  water.  We  are  co-participants  in what  is  happening  and  what  will  happen  next. In  southeast Australia  where  I  live,  we  are  told  to  expect  hotter tempera-tures  of  longer  duration, and  more  dramatic  rain  events—a combination  that  further  extends  the  variability  of  our  flood and  drought  cycles.  In  this  already  hot  and  arid  country, where  fresh  water  so  clearly  gives  life,  such  changes  will touch all.

description: Stand basal area (BA) is an important parameter, yet significantly influenced by initial planting density, in describing the developments of plantation forests. The effects of initial density on the growth of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don), an important plantation tree species in Taiwan, have seldom been studied. The goals of this study are to (1) model sugi stand BA growth under different initial densities, and (2) quantify model forecast accuracy. The data were from a spacing trial established in 1950 at the National Taiwan University Experimental Forest. The initial densities were 2500, 1111, 625, and 400 trees ha−1. Ten measurements were carried out up to stand age 65. Using a mixed-effects modeling approach, we fitted a Gompertz model with the initial density as the covariate to describe stand BA growth trends. Results showed that stand BA was the largest for stands with the highest initial density. The maximum current annual increment of the highest initial density was also the largest and reached earlier in stand development than that of the other spacings. Data up to stand age 60 were needed to yield a forecast accuracy within 6% for BA at stand age 65. This study showed that the fitted Gompertz model could adequately capture the general growth trends in stand BA despite unequal measurement intervals. The results agreed with other spacing trials in other regions and tree species, and the model accuracy was acceptable given the availability of data. The prediction accuracy results underlined the importance of long-term growth monitoring.

Risking Attachment in the Anthropocene
Creators: name: Instone, Lesley
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2015

description: The  notion  of  risk  is  now  commonplace.  For  Ulrich  Beck(1992)  who  introduced  the  term  “risk  society”  in  the  early 1990s,   contemporary   ecological   crises   are   not   questions about the destruction of nature, but rather ones of how mod-ern society deals with self-generated uncertainties that are no longer  limited  by  time  or  space.  These  are  dangers  that  es-cape and elide risk, calculation and insurability. In the face of permanent material threats, Beck argues that modern indus-trial  society  normalizes  risk,  and  we  become  blind  to side effects and consequences. Most of the time those of us in de-veloped  countries  carry  on  our  daily  lives  as  if  everything  is insurable,  as  if  we’re  neither  causing  environmental  damage nor being affected by it, a sort of amnesia to the wider impli-cations  of  ordinary  action.  For  example,  where  I  live,  the mining  and  export  of  coal  is  a  commonplace  and  everyday activity. Despite the challenges of climate change, coal trains deposit  their  loads,  in  ever  increasing  quantities,  to  the  port of  Newcastle  (Australia)  to  be  exported  to  power  stations  in China and elsewhere. The ethics of “deplete, destroy, depart” (Grinde  and  Johansen  1995  in  Weir  2009,  119) go  on  in  a way that becomes ordinary, everyday and unremarkable, and the  dangers  of  dust,  environmental  degradation  and  climate change, are in Beck’s terms, normalized.
Contact Improvisation: Dance with the Earth Body You Have

description: Contact  Improvisation  is  a  form  of  dance.  As  the  name  sug-gests,  this  is  not  the  kind  of  dance  where  everybody  knows the steps in advance. While its moves are unscripted, Contact Improvisation  also  differs  from  the  semi-solo  style  of  arm-flailing  and  hip-swiveling  in  which  many  of  us  learnt  to  en-gage as teenagers, for its practitioners are required to remain at all times in close proximity to a partner. “Characteristically performed in a duet,” explains Hellene Gronda:Contact  Improvisation  combines  the  freedom  to  move spontaneously  with  an  injunction  to  maintain  a  physical relationship  with  your  partner(s),  usually  through  touch, but  also  through  commitment  to  a  mutual  trajectory based  on  a  shared  centre  of  gravity.  Body  awareness  is fundamental to safe practice of the form because it is like-ly  to  include  falling  and  spatial  disorientation.  It  can  be awkward,  spectacularly  dangerous,  or  breathtaking  and tender.  ...  Contact  Improvisation  is  primarily  practiced in  a  community  activity  called  a Jam.

description: Background/Objectives: Chemerin is an adipokine involved in inflammatory and metabolic diseases, and its circulating levels have been associated with inflammatory parameters in various patient cohorts. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, which causes COVID-19, triggers inflammatory pathways. However, the association between serum chemerin levels and COVID-19 disease severity and outcomes has not been definitively established. Methods: In this study, serum chemerin levels were analyzed in 64 patients with moderate COVID-19 and 60 patients with severe disease. Results: The results showed that serum chemerin levels were comparable between these two groups and slightly higher than in healthy controls. Notably, COVID-19 patients with hypertension exhibited elevated serum chemerin levels, while those with liver cirrhosis had lower levels. When patients with these comorbidities were excluded from the analyses, serum chemerin levels in COVID-19 patients were similar to those in healthy controls. Positive correlations were observed between serum chemerin levels and markers such as alkaline phosphatase, C-reactive protein, eosinophils, and lymphocytes in the entire cohort, as well as in the subgroup excluding patients with hypertension and cirrhosis. Additionally, urinary chemerin levels were comparable between COVID-19 patients and controls, and neither hypertension nor dialysis significantly affected urinary chemerin levels. Both survivors and non-survivors had similar serum and urinary chemerin levels. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study suggests that comorbidities such as arterial hypertension and liver cirrhosis do have a more significant impact on serum chemerin levels than SARS-CoV-2 infection itself.

title: Ionic liquid (IL) functionalized biochar in supercapacitor applications and unique characterization methods
Creators: name: Cheema, Sara
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: Biochar is a carbon-based material derived from biomass with unique physical and functional properties that are useful in various applications such as electrical storage devices, adsorbents, and catalysis. Biochar is used in electrochemical devices due to its porosity, surface area, and functionality including N, P, or S heteroatoms covalently bound on the surface. Biochar as an electrode material improves power density and charge-discharge rates in supercapacitors. We have shown that a simple oxidation step on hardwood biochar allows for facile functionalization using a modified Hummer method; then functionalized with 3-chloropropyltrimethylsiloxane and converted trioctylphosphonium salt biochar using SN2 chemistry with trioctylphosphine. These functionalized biochars are characterized using FT-IR; 1H, 13C{1H}, 19F{1H}, 31P{1H} CPMAS solid-state NMR spectroscopy, surface contact measurements and electrochemical characterization, CV and GCD. McKenna et al. of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) and Florida State University reported the complex mixtures of highly heterogeneous biochar using APPI-21T-FT-ICR and ESI-21T-FT-ICR MS to yield remarkable speciation of the compounds in biochar using solvent extrography. In this thesis, an investigation into the identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in kelp, crab, and hardwood biochar will be reported using the specialized solvent method to yield a necessary processing step before the application of biochar to remove select PAHs.

description: Vultures  are  never  very  far  from  death,  never  very  far  from the  carcasses  that  they  strip  bare  so  cleanly  and  efficiently. Like  all  of  Earth’s  scavengers,  they  play  a  vital  role  in trans-forming waste and putrefaction into nourishment, creating a safer  environment  for  so  many  other  living  things.  Change and  transformation  are  at  the  heart  of  their  place in  more-than-human communities—death becomes life again. And so, death  is  not  a  bad  thing  in  any  simple  way:  inside  tangled processes  of  multi-species  becoming,  everyone  is  food  for someone else, and nobody, no species, lives forever. And yet, in  some  cases  we  want  to  reject  death,  we  want  to  say  that there has been too much of it, or it has come too soon—again, both  in  the  case  of  individuals  and  of  species.  This  is  a  story about the vultures of India, but it is also an attempt to think through why one  might  tell  stories  in  a  time  of  extinction, what it might mean to make a storied stand for some deaths and not others.

description: This paper addresses the sharpness of a weighted $L^{2}$-estimate for the Fourier extension operator associated to the circle, obtained by J. Bennett, A. Carbery, F. Soria and A. Vargas in 2006. A point left open in their paper was the necessity of a certain $\log R$-factor in the bound. Here, I show that the factor is necessary for all $1/2$-Ahlfors-David regular weights on the circle, but it can be removed for $s$-Ahlfors-David regular weights with $s \neq 1/2$.

description: Much of our food does not taste good—and not just because apples have lost their crunch. The food we eat in the West is produced largely through an industrial model of agriculture. Larger  and larger  farms  produce  more  and  more  of  the  one product,  whether  cattle  or  wheat,  apricots  or  almonds,  or-anges or lemons. In the process, agricultural land is robbed of its  nutrients,  and  animals  and  plants  their  dignity.  But  eve-rywhere  people,  like  Robert  Pekin  from  Food  Connect,  are innovating  with  ways  of  working with  the  land,  animals  and others. At Food Connect, we’re not just modifying, we’re com-pletely  reinventing  the  business  of  how  food  should  be done.  We’re  saying  that  the  old  model  is  obsolete and we have to invent new ones. We have to restore ecologi-cal  biodiversity  back  into  our  farming  landscapes  but we need a marketplace that recognizes and rewards the farmers who do this, and that encourages more farmers to do more of it.

description: We present 80 stellar and ionised gas velocity maps from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey in order to characterize the kinematic orientation of non-interacting galaxies. The study of galaxies in isolation is a key step towards understanding how fast-external processes, such as major mergers, affect kinematic properties in galaxies. We derived the global and individual (projected approaching and receding sides) kinematic position angles (PAs) for both the stellar and ionised gas line-of-sight velocity distributions. When compared to the photometric PA, we find that morpho-kinematic differences are smaller than 22 degrees in 90% of the sample for both components; internal kinematic misalignments are generally smaller than 16 degrees. We find a tight relation between the global stellar and ionised gas kinematic PA consistent with circular-flow pattern motions in both components. This relation also holds generally in barred galaxies across the bar and galaxy disk scales. Our findings suggest that even in the presence of strong bars, both the stellar and the gaseous components tend to follow the gravitational potential of the disk. As a result, kinematic orientation can be used to assess the degree of external distortions in interacting galaxies.

Flying Foxes in Sydney

Publisher: name: punctum books

description: Do  city  dwellers  dream  of  wide  open  spaces  like  rangelands, or  do  they  dream  of  tall  buildings?  Do  their  dreams  entice them  to  look  up  into  the  great,  blue  depths  above  them,  and do flying foxes flit across the night sky of their sleep? Do they ever think: “now, this is a biodiver-city!”?At  least  one  city  dweller,  journalist  James  Woodford, looked up with delight. He wrote: “watching bats silhouetted against  the  stars  is  one  of  the  greatest,  but  little  known, pleasures   of   life” (Woodford 2003).    Actually,   many   city dwellers find pleasure in the fact that their city and their lives are  shared  with  flying  foxes.  Every  night  around  sunset  the flying  foxes  start  their  nightly  flyout. With  their  dark  fur, their  wingspans  of  up  to  one  meter,  and  their  distinctive  bat silhouette,  they  stand  out  against  the  clear  colors  of  an  Aus-tralian  sunset.  They  are  beautiful  wherever  they  are,  but  in Sydney, Australia’s largest and most iconic city, they are fan-tastic!  They  span  out  across  the  Opera  House,  and  over  the Harbour  Bridge.  One  can  sit  at  Circular  Quay,  sipping  a drink  and  watching  the  ferries,  the  bridge,  and  the  lights  of Luna Park flashing across the harbor. Then the motion above begins.  The  gaze  that  has  been  fixed  horizontally  shifts  up-ward to the blizzard of flying foxes, and one feels quite close
Investigations of the superconducting states of noncentrosymmetric LaPdSi3 and LaPtSi3

description: The noncentrosymmetric superconductors LaPdSi3 and LaPtSi3 have been studied with magnetization, specific heat, resistivity and muon spin rotation/relaxation (muSR) measurements. These crystallize in the tetragonal BaNiSn3 structure and superconductivity is observed at Tc = 2.65 K for LaPdSi3 and Tc = 1.52(6) K for LaPtSi3. The results are consistent with both compounds being weakly coupled, fully gapped superconductors but muSR measurements reveal that LaPdSi3 is a bulk type-I superconductor while LaPtSi3 is a type-II material with a Ginzburg-Landau parameter of kappa = 2.49(4). This is further supported by specific heat measurements, where the transition in an applied field is first-order in LaPdSi3 but second-order in LaPtSi3. The electronic specific heat in the superconducting state was analyzed using an isotropic s-wave model that gave Delta/kTc = 1.757(4) for LaPdSi3 and 1.735(5) for LaPtSi3. The temperature dependence of the effective penetration depth of LaPtSi3 was extracted from muSR measurements and was fitted giving Delta/kTc = 1.60(8) and lambda(0) = 239(3) nm. A critical field of Bc(0) = 182.7 G was obtained for LaPdSi3 from muSR measurements, which is in good agreement with the calculated thermodynamic critical field.

On the sensitivity of directions which support Voigt wave propagation in infiltrated biaxial dielectric materials
Creators: name: Mackay, Tom G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Voigt wave propagation (VWP) was considered in a porous biaxial dielectric material which was infiltrated with a material of refractive index $n_a$. The infiltrated material was regarded as a homogenized composite material in the long-wavelength regime and its constitutive parameters were estimated using the extended Bruggeman homogenization formalism. In our numerical studies, the directions which support VWP were found to vary by as much as $300^\circ$ per RIU as the refractive index $n_a$ was varied. The sensitivities achieved were acutely dependent upon the refractive index $n_a$ and the degrees of anisotropy and dissipation of the porous biaxial material. The orientations, shapes and sizes of the particles which constitute the infiltrating material and the porous biaxial material exerted only a secondary influence on the maximum sensitivities achieved. Also, for the parameter ranges considered, the degree of porosity of the biaxial material had little effect on the maximum sensitivities achieved. These numerical findings bode well for the possible harnessing of VWP for optical sensing applications.

The emotions and knowledge that I have encountered on this trip is a complex subject to grapple with. The Holocaust, or Shoah as Europeans call it, was a tragedy that devastated millions of families. I often thought what would I have done if this happened to my family? How would I be able to move forward after the slaughter of the people that I held near and dear to my heart? The sadness of Auschwitz, Drancy, and Płaszów will never leave me nor will the knowledge I have obtained.

description: Supernova remnants (SNRs) retain crucial information about both their parent explosion and circumstellar material left behind by their progenitor. However, the complexity of the interaction between supernova ejecta and ambient medium often blurs this information, and it is not uncommon for the basic progenitor type (Ia or core-collapse) of well-studied remnants to remain uncertain. Here we present a powerful new observational diagnostic to discriminate between progenitor types and constrain the ambient medium density of SNRs solely using Fe K-shell X-ray emission. We analyze all extant Suzaku observations of SNRs and detect Fe K alpha emission from 23 young or middle-aged remnants, including five first detections (IC 443, G292.0+1.8, G337.2-0.7, N49, and N63A). The Fe K alpha centroids clearly separate progenitor types, with the Fe-rich ejecta in Type Ia remnants being significantly less ionized than in core-collapse SNRs. Within each progenitor group, the Fe K alpha luminosity and centroid are well correlated, with more luminous objects having more highly ionized Fe. Our results indicate that there is a strong connection between explosion type and ambient medium density, and suggest that Type Ia supernova progenitors do not substantially modify their surroundings at radii of up to several parsecs. We also detect a K-shell radiative recombination continuum of Fe in W49B and IC 443, implying a strong circumstellar interaction in the early evolutionary phases of these core-collapse remnants.
