description: Social capital in sports has become an increasingly studied topic. In particular, it has been argued that social capital is created by value-based cultural practices and social exchanges with respect to sport participation and sporting events. However, empirical evidence is scarce and does not capture causal relationships in the process of social capital creation. A general criticism in the social capital literature is that the existing theory falls short of modelling causalities in more detail. Therefore, this paper attempts to develop a causal model of social capital formation within the Olympic movement. It is an exemplary case because of the global esteem of the Olympic Games and their value foundation in Olympism. The worldwide awareness of the Olympics moreover creates social capital among spectators. However, the process of how the perception of Olympic values by spectators is transformed into Olympic social capital is not well understood. Thus, the theoretical modelling focuses on the so-called bridging capital accumulated by Olympic spectators. It is reasoned that the interrelationship of the three Olympic key values of respect, friendship and excellence is perceived and adopted by live spectators via a cyclic process of simultaneous experience resulting in a sustainable episodic memory. In contrast, broadcast spectators develop a dichotomous semantic memory, more influenced by socio-economic tensions caused by the commodification of the Olympic value of excellence. Hence, the live Olympic capital tends to be larger than the broadcast Olympic capital. The plausibility of the model’s propositions is illustrated by data from a cluster sample (N=1,703) of German broadcast spectators of and visitors to the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games. The basic proposition of the larger live Olympic capital is confirmed, while the evidence for the emotional exposure and socio-economic environment when experiencing the event is mixed.

description: In this paper, we consider the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole to investigate the process of scalar wave scattering by the black hole in a spacetime of (d + 1) dimensions and also with the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). In this scenario, we analytically determine the phase shift and explore the effect of extra dimensions by calculating the differential scattering and absorption cross-section by applying the partial wave method at low and high-frequency limits. We show at high dimensions that the absorption is not zero as the mass parameter approaches zero.

description: Renal disease is occasionally diagnosed in cattle, is usually bilateral and medical therapy the treatment of choice. Nephrectomy may be performed in selected cases where a single kidney primarily is involved. We hypothesized that unilateral nephrectomy can be performed successfully in affected cattle and that these cattle can remain productive members of the herd. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine medical records of cattle having unilateral nephrectomy and determine survival and productivity in affected cattle.

description: A number of infectious agents are potential threats to the fetus of a pregnant cow with resultant abortion. These agents include Leptospira sp., Campylobacter fetus and agents such as infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) and bovine virus diarrhea (BVD) viruses. Maintenance in the cow of a high level of immunity to these agents during pregnancy can insure protection of the fetus. In particular, vaccines against BVD and IBR viruses can establish protective immunity throughout gestation.

description: This is a critical study of decisions convicting woman for drug trafficking to custodial penalty, justified by the contradictions existent between drugs fighting repressive politics and alternatives to freedom privation, adopted by the criminal legislation in order to keep away deleterious massive incarceration effects. In this way, the present work had for scope the analysis of situations in which would be appropriate the conversion of custodial sentences into rights restricting penalties in sentences of drug trafficking convicted women who are serving sentences in Salvador, through a critical analysis of the reasons presented by the magistrates for not converting them. The analysis was made from the perspective of critical criminology, criminal constitutional principles, considering how the current punitive system works when it comes to drug traffic and the application of their penalties.

description: The common conceptual understanding of emotion is that they are multi-componential, including subjective feelings, appraisals, psychophysiological activation, action tendencies, and motor expressions. Emotion perception, however, has traditionally been studied in terms of emotion labels, such as “happy”, which do not clearly indicate whether one, some, or all emotion components are perceived. We examine whether emotion percepts are multi-componential and extend previous research by using more ecologically valid, dynamic, and multimodal stimuli and an alternative response measure. The results demonstrate that observers can reliably infer multiple types of information (subjective feelings, appraisals, action tendencies, and social messages) from complex emotion expressions. Furthermore, this finding appears to be robust to changes in response items. The results are discussed in light of their implications for research on emotion perception.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: A series of ionic liquid crystals with an alkoxy biphenyl unit tethered via an alkyl spacer to a guanidinium head group were synthesised and the mesomorphic properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD; WAXS and SAXS). Whereas all symmetrical guanidinium chlorides with the same chain lengths in alkyl tail and spacer displayed enantiotropic SmA2 phases, monotropic SmC2 phases with 1–2 K temperature range were only formed for chain lengths ≥ C10. Shifting the calamitic core more closely to the ionic head group by decreasing the tether length and simultaneously increasing the terminal alkyl chain improved the stability of both SmA and SmC phases considerably and led to enantiotropic SmC phases for the guanidinium chloride with C14 alkyl tail and C6 spacer. An even more pronounced effect was detected during anion exchange. Bromide, iodide, hexafluorophosphate, thiocyanate and triflate suppressed any SmC phase, whereas tetrafluoroborate behaved similar to chloride maintaining the SmC phase. However, acetate stabilised the SmC phase at the expense of the SmA phase. Based on temperature-dependant XRD measurements, a bilayer structure was proposed.

Where are the photons in a transmission-line pulse?

description: We develop a photonic description of short, one-dimensional electromagnetic pulses, specifically in the language of electrical transmission lines. Current practice in quantum technology, using arbitrary waveform generators, can readily produce very short, few-cycle pulses in microwave TEM guided structures (coaxial cables or coplanar waveguides) in a very low noise, low temperature setting. We argue that these systems attain the limit of producing pure coherent quantum states, in which the vacuum has been displaced for a short time, and therefore short spatial extent. When the pulse is bipolar, that is, the integrated voltage of the pulse is zero, then the state can be described by the finite displacement of a single mode. Therefore there is a definite mean number of photons, but which have neither a well defined frequency nor position. Due to the Paley-Wiener theorem, the two-component photon 'wavefunction' of this mode is not strictly bounded in space even if the vacuum displacement that defines it is bounded. This wavefunction's components are, for the case of pulses moving in a specific direction, complex valued, with the real and imaginary parts related by a Hilbert transform. They are thus akin to the 'analytic signals' of communication theory. When the pulse is unipolar no photonic description is possible -- the photon number can be considered to be divergent. We consider properties that photon counters and quantum non-demolition detectors must have to optimally convert and detect the photons in several example pulses, and we discuss some consequence of this optimization for the application of very short pulses in quantum cryptography.

description: We study complex solvmanifolds $Γ\backslash G$ with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle. We show that the trivializing section of this bundle can be either invariant or non-invariant by the action of $G$. First we characterize the existence of invariant trivializing sections in terms of the Koszul 1-form $ψ$ canonically associated to $(\mathfrak{g},J)$, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Lie algebra of $G$, and we use this characterization to produce new examples of complex solvmanifolds with trivial canonical bundle. Moreover, we provide an algebraic obstruction, also in terms of $ψ$, for a complex solvmanifold to have trivial (or more generally holomorphically torsion) canonical bundle. Finally, we exhibit a compact hypercomplex solvmanifold $(M^{4n},\{J_1,J_2,J_3\})$ such that the canonical bundle of $(M,J_α)$ is trivial only for $α=1$, so that $M$ is not an $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb{H})$-manifold.

description: Previous research has shown that pasture cattle fed a Rumensin (monensin sodium, Elanco Animal Health) containing free-choice mineral consistently gain .05 to .1 kg per day more than cattle fed a non-medicated mineral. Rumensin free-choice mineral is a well balanced mineral mixture which is commercially available from numerous U.S. feed suppliers. Rumensin free-choice mineral is formulated to provide 10% calcium, 6% phosphorus and 24% salt. It contains 1620 grams of Rumensin per 909 kg and, when consumed daily at 28 to 114 g per head provides 50 to 200 mg of Rumensin per animal. This study was conducted to provide additional information relative to mineral consumption and weight gain of pasture cattle offered Rumensin free-choice mineral.

description: This editorial outlines a number of connections between climate change and simulation/gaming/debriefing. First, the development of this symposium is mentioned, including appreciation for contributors, especially Klaus Eisenack, James Hansen, Dennis Meadows, and Diana Reckien. Second, a wide range of climate change dimensions is outlined, with emphasis on the increasingly important role that simulation/gaming and debriefing should play in educating people to combat climate change. Climate issues include anthropogenic warming, due largely to ever increasing greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in massive and irreversible upheaval of the biosphere and the socio-economic system. Given the direct or indirect negative impact of climate change on health and mortality, due largely to the lethargy of politicians and big business, such people, in a saner world, could be facing accusation of crimes against humanity. The topic of climate change needs to become the backbone of education round the world, with simulation/gaming and debriefing being one of the main methods for learning to survive in ‘pockets of resilience’. Topics for simulation/games and debriefing could include resilience, urgency, climate change science, indicators and effects (feedback loops, rising sea levels, storm severity, food scarcity and security, water, war, denial, nuclear power, irresponsibility of politicians, etc.). Third, the absurdities of the push for growth in a finite world and of the burning of more coal are highlighted. Simulation/gaming and debriefing provide opportunities for learning to survive in a dangerously changing climate.

description: The mariculture of eucheumatoids (species of Kappaphycus and Eucheuma) in the Philippines has had a long history, dating back to the 1970s. Over this period, a number of varieties have been brought into domestication; some are now widely distributed and farmed in various regions of the country, but a significant number appear to have a more restricted distribution and are farmed only in certain areas. The taxonomy of many of these seaweed cultivars and their phylogenetic relationships still remain to be resolved at the specific and subspecific levels. In this study, two mitochondrial DNA markers, COI-5P region and cox2-3 intergenic spacer, were used to assess the genetic diversity of the farmed varieties and a few specimens collected from the wild. Analysis using haplotype networks revealed several new haplotypes for K. alvarezii, K. malesianus and K. striatus, mainly from specimens collected from eastern and southwestern regions of the Philippines. The inferred phylogenetic relationships based on both mtDNA markers resolved the identity of all the materials used in the study at the species level. We present molecular evidence that K. malesianus, in addition to K. alvarezii, K. cottonii, K. inermis, K. procrusteanus and K. striatus (and, hence, all currently recognized species of Kappaphycus) occurs in the Philippines. Collectively, these observations suggest that the Philippine archipelago has richer genetic diversity of farmed and wild Kappaphycus than do the other geographic regions, consistent with the hypothesis that the Philippines is, or is part of, the centre of Kappaphycus biodiversity in the world. These findings also reveal an untapped diversity that can potentially be exploited for improving the commercial production of these carrageenophytes.

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that a single dose of copper oxide needles administered to cattle at the beginning of the grazing period would sustain plasma copper concentrations and prevent growth depression associated with copper deficiency for the duration of the grazing period. Comparisons of efficacy were made against the traditional treatment methods of copper glycinate injection and copper supplementation in salt in two trials involving age groups most at risk for clinical copper deficiency calves and replacement heifers. High pasture molybdenum concentrations with Cu:Mo ratios below 5:1 were present at both trial locations.

description: This work studies how the choice of the representation for parametric, spatially distributed inputs to elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) affects the efficiency of a polynomial surrogate, based on Taylor expansion, for the parameter-to-solution map. In particular, we show potential advantages of representations using functions with localized supports. As model problem, we consider the steady-state diffusion equation, where the diffusion coefficient and right-hand side depend smoothly but potentially in a \textsl{highly nonlinear} way on a parameter $y\in [-1,1]^{\mathbb{N}}$. Following previous work for affine parameter dependence and for the lognormal case, we use pointwise instead of norm-wise bounds to prove $\ell^p$-summability of the Taylor coefficients of the solution. As application, we consider surrogates for solutions to elliptic PDEs on parametric domains. Using a mapping to a nominal configuration, this case fits in the general framework, and higher convergence rates can be attained when modeling the parametric boundary via spatially localized functions. The theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments for the parametric domain problem, illustrating the efficiency of the proposed approach and providing further insight on numerical aspects. Although the methods and ideas are carried out for the steady-state diffusion equation, they extend easily to other elliptic and parabolic PDEs.

description: Bois noir is a grapevine yellows disease associated with Candidatus Phytoplasma solani and transmitted to grapevines by means of the planthopper Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret (Homoptera, Cixiidae). The overwintering nymphs of the vector acquire the phytoplasma feeding on roots of herbaceous plants, including Urtica dioica L. (stinging nettle). In German and Italian vineyards the possibility to control the H. obsoletus nymphs feeding on stinging nettle roots using chemical weeding and insecticides was investigated. In particular, the effect of herbicides, applied in autumn and in different spring timings, and neonicotinoid insecticides on vector adult emergence was evaluated. Trials conducted to control nettle with glyphosate or a mixture of glyphosate+flazasulfuron significantly reduced the density of emerging adult vectors. The efficacy of herbicides was highest when they were applied in autumn or in early spring with the nymphs not older than the fourth instar. Herbicides applied too close to the beginning of the emergence of adults reduced numbers only during the late part of the planthopper flight-period. Although neonicotinoid insecticides applied in early spring gave efficacy comparable to herbicides, their use is not advisable for the negative side effects on non-target arthropods (e.g. honeybees). Overall, the combination of cultural practices and accurately timed applications of selective herbicides might help to refine the current Integrated Pest Management recommendations for controlling nettle, H. obsoletus and consequently bois noir.

description: Regeneration of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) from embryogenic cultures after gene transfer is traditionally linked to a selection procedure using antibiotic containing media. The neomycin phosphotransferase II (npt-II) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (hpt) genes that confer resistance to the antibiotics kanamycin and hygromycin, respectively, have been the selectable marker genes most frequently used for selection of transgenic grapevines. In this work, the phytotoxic effects on embryo development and plant growth of these two antibiotics were examined in 'Albariño'. Embryogenic cell suspensions were evaluated based on a twostep strategy using untransformed and transformed tissues. The phytotoxic effect was significantly different at 20 mg∙L-1 (and higher) for kanamycin and at 5 mg∙L-1 (and higher) for hygromycin. Minimal killing concentrations of kanamycin and hygromycin for 'Albariño' cell suspensions were 50 and 12.5 mg∙L-1, respectively. Embryogenic cell suspensions were bombarded using the biolistic system with the construct pBI426, harboring the selectable npt-II gene, and incubated on kanamycin containing media to determine the best inhibitory concentration allowing embryo and shoot development of only transgenic events. Only 20 % of PCR-positive transgenic embryos and 20 % of plant regeneration resulted from embryos emerged on 30 mg∙L-1. However, 80 % of PCR-positive transgenic embryos but only 10 % of plant regeneration were obtained from embryos emerged on 40 mg∙L-1. The method described, based in untransformed and transformed plant material, could be used to determine the optimal antibiotic concentration for other V. vinifera cultivars for efficient selection and regeneration of transgenic events.

description: This study describes novel simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers from a genomic DNA sequence of the grape phylloxera. A total of 130 SSR primers were designed from 145 unique sequences with di, tri, tetra and penta simple sequence repeats. The SSR primers were tested on DNA from 10 grape phylloxera strains chosen for their behavioral and geographic diversity. Eightynine primers generated easy to score alleles with standardized conditions of amplification. Twenty-eight new and four previously published markers were selected to genotype 32 root and leaf phylloxera samples in order to identify reliable markers for future genetic diversity and phylloxera population studies. SSR data from these samples was also used to determine the frequency of null alleles, and locus specific estimates of population differentiation and clustering. Up to six alleles were detected with a mean expected heterozygosity (He) of 0.51. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) was 0.73 and the majority of markers had higher Ho values. Null allees for four markers were considered to be the result of homozygous genotypes. The 89 SSR loci developed in this study represent a new and informative set of markers that are easy to combine for multi-loading and suitable for large-scale genetic analyses of population structure, genetic diversity, and the origin of host specific strains in grape phylloxera.

description: The variation in potassium (K+) and sodium (Na+) accumulation was investigated between 60 hybrids within a family obtained by crossing grapevine rootstocks K 51-40 (Vitis champinii 'Dogridge' × V. riparia 'Gloire', seed parent) with 140 Ruggeri (V. cinerea var. helleri 'Resseguier #2' × V. rupestris'St. George', pollen parent), which are known to result in higher and lower concentrations of K+, respectively, but similar concentrations of Na+, in grape juice and resultant wine from scions grafted to them. The hybrids, their parents and two standard rootstocks, Ramsey (V. champinii 'Ramsey') and 1103 Paulsen (V. cinerea var. helleri 'Resseguier #2' x V. rupestris'St. George') were replicated by clonal propagation and grown under glasshouse conditions either in potting mix, drip-irrigated with a nutrient solution containing 50, 1.7 and 30 mM Cl-, K+ and Na+, respectively, or in aerated nutrient solution containing 25, 1.7 and 15 mM Cl-, K+ and Na+, respectively. In both pot and solution culture trials, there were significant (P < 0.001) differences between parents for mean K+ (but not Na+) concentrations, and between hybrids for mean K+ and Na+ concentrations in laminae. This variation between the hybrids was continuous, indicating multiple rather than single gene control for K+ and Na+ accumulation within the family. Differences among the hybrids for lamina K+ accumulation were not strongly associated with plant vigour. While the ranking of some hybrids for K+ and Na+ accumulation was consistent between the trials, others responded differently, suggesting the environment of the rootzone may affect the K+ and Na+ accumulation phenotype.

description: In viticulture, the imposition of managed water deficits is a strategy which has been used to increase both water use efficiency and winemaking quality in arid climates. Partial defoliation early in the season is another innovative practice that may also be used as an aid in regulating yield components and improving fruit quality. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of managed water stress and early season partial defoliation on crop yield and quality in two autochthonous (‘Frappato’ and ‘Nero d’Avola’) and two international varieties (‘Syrah’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’) growing in an arid environment. The four treatments were: (i) no leaf removal, un-irrigated, (ii) no leaf removal, irrigated at 30 % of estimated crop evapotranspiration (ETc), (iii) partial leaf removal, un-irrigated, and (iv) partial leaf removal, irrigated at 30 % of estimated ETc. The results confirm the effectiveness of partial defoliation in yield management which leads to smaller clusters. Managed water stress was also an effective strategy for reducing berry size, improving must quality and generally enhancing anthocyanin accumulation.

description: Anthocyanidin reductase (ANR, EC 1.3.1.77) catalyzes the conversion of anthocyanidins to 2R, 3R-flavan-3-ols in Vitis vinifera grapes. These are basic structural units of proanthocyanidins (PAs). The regulation of PA biosynthesis at protein level is not yet clear. Here, we find a VvANR interaction partner called late embryogenesis abundant protein (LEA), which can interact with VvANR in the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) system. We verified the interaction between VvANR and Vv-LEA by Y2H and co-immunoprecipitation (CoIP) in yeast in vitro, and using the firefly luciferase complementation imaging (LCI) system in vivo. Additionally, the co-localization of VvANR and VvLEA in Arabidopsis thaliana protoplasts also provids the essential conditions for their interaction. The different expressions of VvANR and VvLEA depended both on the age of the grape berries and on the duration of cold treatment. These findings provide primary evidence for proteinregulation and the potential formation of multi-enzyme complex of VvANR, as well as of the PA biosynthesis.

description: Quantum computers allow to solve efficiently certain problems that are intractable for classical computers. For the realization of a quantum computer, a qubit design as the basic building block is a nontrivial starting point. We propose the utilization of nanoscale magnetic domain walls, which are stabilized by achiral energy, as the building blocks for a universal quantum computer made of ferromagnetic racetracks. In contrast to the domain walls stabilized by conventional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, these achiral domain walls are bistable and show two degenerate chirality forms. When the domain wall is extremely small, it can be viewed as a quantum mechanical object and the two degenerate chiralities of the domain walls can be used to encode the qubit states $\lvert 0 \rangle$ and $\lvert 1 \rangle$. We show that the single-qubit quantum gates are regulated by magnetic and electric fields, while the Ising exchange coupling facilitates the two-qubit gates. The integration of these quantum gates allows for a universal quantum computation. Our findings demonstrate a promising approach for achieving quantum computing through spin textures that exist in ferromagnetic materials.

description: Context: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and oxidative stress is present in hypertension and associated arterial stiffness, but little is known on the physiological link among lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), fibulin-1, and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Objective: The objective of this study is to explore the link among a marker of tissue damage (LDH), fibulin-1 (as ECM biomarker), and ROS. Methods: We included 316 black and 305 white South Africans and determined the above-mentioned biomarkers along with additional cardiometabolic risk factors. Results: LDH associated positively with fibulin-1 (β = 0.23; p β = 0.11; p = 0.30) in blacks only. Conclusion: Our finding suggests that increased circulating levels of LDH may be due to early ECM remodeling and oxidative stress in blacks that are subjected to detrimental and uncontrolled lifestyle risk factors.
