description: Rice–aquaculture farming has been widely recognized as a sustainable symbiosis system for its potential to increase crop yield and income for farmers and to cultivate aquaculture products simultaneously through co-culture. Nevertheless, the performance of co-culture production systems depends on various factors, but few studies have examined the factors that affect their performance, leading to a reliance on trial and error in the operation and design of these systems. In this study, a systematic review was conducted to investigate factors that impact the performance of the rice–aquaculture system, both economically and environmentally. Four main categories of factors, including field conditions and management, feeding supplement, aquaculture farming, and rice cultivation were identified to be related to the success of the rice–aquaculture system. By analyzing data from diverse geographic regions, this study also elucidated general trends, region-specific challenges, and opportunities within rice–aquaculture practices. Future directions were also proposed with the need to develop complementary guidelines for the design and management of co-culture systems to maximize economic benefit while minimizing negative environmental effects, thus improving the overall sustainability of the co-culture production system.

Gas Rich Dwarf Spheroidals

description: We present evidence that nearly half of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph and dSph/dIrr) in the Local Group are associated with large reservoirs of atomic gas, in some cases larger than the stellar mass. The gas is sometimes found at large distance (~10 kpc) from the center of a galaxy and is not necessarily centered on it. Similarly large quantities of ionized gas could be hidden in these systems as well. The properties of some of the gas reservoirs are similar to the median properties of the High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs); two of the HI reservoirs are catalogued HVCs. The association of the HI with the dwarf spheroidals might thus provide a link between the HVCs and stars. We show that the HI content of the Local Group dSphs and dIrrs exhibits a sharp decline if the galaxy is within 250 kpc of either the Milky Way or M31. This can be explained if both galaxies have a sufficiently massive x-ray emitting halo that produces ram-pressure stripping if a dwarf ventures too close to either giant spiral. We also investigate tidal stripping of the dwarf galaxies and find that although it may play a role, it cannot explain the apparent total absence of neutral gas in most dSph galaxies at distances less than 250 kpc. For the derived mean density of the hot gas, n_0 = 2.5e-5 cm^-2, ram-pressure stripping is found to be more than an order of magnitude more effective in removing the gas from the dSph galaxies. The hot halo, with an inferred mass of 1e10 solar masses, may represent a reservoir of ~1000 destroyed dwarf systems, either HVCs or true dwarf galaxies similar to those we observe now.

description: The article addresses cognitive enhancement and its compatibility with the Italian constitutional system. It identifies self-determination and health protection, viewed in the light of the most recent interpretations, as the constitutional framework in which the right to enhancement could find its own space. However, in the same constitutional devices, as well as in the principle of equality, one can also identify the source of limitations to the exercise of such right. Finally, the article considers cognitive enhancement in the military field and genetic enhancement, which, together with other values of constitutional importance, could lead to different considerations regarding their compatibility with our legal system.

description: Understanding how out-of-equilibrium states thermalize under quantum unitary dynamics is an important problem in many-body physics. In this work, we propose a statistical ansatz for the matrix elements of non-equilibrium initial states in the energy eigenbasis, in order to describe such evolution. The approach is inspired by the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) but the proposed ansatz exhibits different scaling. Importantly, we point out the exponentially small cross-correlations between the observable and the initial state matrix elements that determine relaxation dynamics toward equilibrium. We numerically verify scaling and cross-correlation, point out the emergent universality of the high-frequency behavior, and outline possible generalizations.

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: Despite the abundance of international regulation mechanisms that have emerged since the 1990s, human rights violation scandals continue to plague mining operations, including Canadian mining projects in Latin America. Canada has adopted a policy approach to try to address the issues of corporate responsibility and respect for human rights by mining corporations. It has endorsed international voluntary compliance and reporting guidelines, and published its own corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. The paper evaluates to what extent are existing voluntary mechanisms adequate to ensure that Canadian mining companies respect human rights in their operations abroad, and assesses what other policy or legislative tool the Government of Canada could use to ensure respect for human rights and access to justice.

description: The rise of the global mean temperature as a consequence of incessant anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, led by CO2, is one of the direst challenges faced by humankind today. The need of the hour is to minimize fossil fuel usage and capture the atmospheric CO2. Broadly, the CO2 mitigation strategies employ carbon capture and storage (CCS) and biological carbon capture and utilization (bio-CCU) technologies. A critical comparative summary of the prevalent CCS and bio-CCU methods has been presented in this study. Among all the CO2 capture technologies, the microalgal bio-CCU in a biorefinery model is more environment and economy-friendly. Microalgal biorefinery can potentially serve as a platform not only for bio-CCU but also for producing third-generation biofuels and commercially important value-added products as means of wealth generation from waste CO2. Alongside reducing the world’s reliance on fossil fuels, this approach also directly or indirectly addresses most of the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). To enhance the microalgal CO2 capture efficiency and consequent biomass productivity, smart bioprocess design and reactor engineering performed by researchers are summarized to understand the progress in this direction. Recent advances, innovations, and existing challenges in the design and development of microalgal cultivation processes and systems, including CO2 delivery mechanisms, have been critically discussed and assessed in terms of carbon capture efficiency. The futuristic vision for the fourth-generation microalgal biorefinery-based bio-CCU has also been outlined to make some practical recommendations for its successful implementation or adaptation by the thermal power plants and cement industries.

Based on these results, we precisely determine biderivations of some Lie algebras including finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over arbitrary fields of characteristic not $2$ or $3$, and the Witt algebras $\mathcal{W}^+_n$ over fields of characteristic $0$. As an application, commutative post-Lie algebra structure on aforementioned Lie algebras is shown to be trivial.

Refinement of Seafloor Elevation Using Acoustic Backscatter

Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: 80101 Adaptive Agents and Intelligent Robotics

description: We propose an algorithm for the reconstruction of elevation and material property maps of the seafloor using a sidescan sonar backscatter image and sparse bathymetric points co-registered within the image. Given a path for the sensor; the reconstruction is corrected for the movement of the fish during the image generation process. To perform reconstruction, an arbitrary but computable scattering model is assumed for the seapoor backscatterer. The algorithm uses the sparse bathymetric data to generate an initial estimate for the elevation map which is then iteratively refined to fit the backscatter image by minimizing a global error functional. Concurrently, the parameters of the scattering model are determined on a coarse grid in the image by fitting the assumed scattering model to the backscaner data. The elevation surface and the scattering parameter maps converge to their best fit shape and values given the backscatter data. The reconstruction is corrected for the movement of the sensor by initially doing local reconstructions in sensor coordinates and then transforming the local reconstructions to a global coordinate system and performing the reconstruction again. The algorithm supports different scattering models, so it can be applied to different underwater environments and sonar sensors. In addition to the elevation map of the seafloor, the parameters of the scattering model at every point in the image are generated. Since these parameters describe material properties of the seafloor; the maps of the scattering model parameters can be used to segment the seafloor by material type.

description: X-ray spectral and imaging data from ASCA and ROSAT were used to measure the total mass profile in the central region of Abell 1060, a nearby and relatively poor cluster of galaxies. The ASCA X-ray spectra, after correcting for the spatial response of the X-ray telescope, show an isothermal distribution of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) within at least $\sim$ 12' (or $160h_{70}^{-1}$ kpc; $H_0 = 70 h_{70}$ km s$^{-1}$Mpc$^{-1}$) in radius of the cluster center. The azimuthally averaged surface brightness profile from the ROSAT PSPC exhibits a central excess above an isothermal $β$ model. The ring-sorted ASCA GIS spectra and the radial surface brightness distribution from the ROSAT PSPC were simultaneously utilized to constrain the gravitational potential profile. Some analytic models of the total mass density profile were examined. The ICM density profile was also specified by analytic forms. The ICM temperature distribution was constrained to satisfy the hydrostatic equilibrium, and to be consistent with the data. Then, the total mass distribution was found to be described better by the universal dark halo profile proposed by Navarro, Frenk, and White (1996;1997) than by a King-type model with a flat density core. A profile with a central cusp together with a logarithmic radial slope of $\sim 1.5$ was also consistent with the data. Discussions are made concerning the estimated dark matter distribution around the cluster center.

description: A key requirement for the realization of the CERN FCC is the development of high-field superconducting dipole magnets. Considering that Nb3Sn is currently the best candidate material (with the related requirements of non-Cu JC = 1.5 kA/mm2 at 16 T and 4.2 K), a new cluster layout of prototype internal tin Nb3Sn wires, manufactured by the Bochvar Institute, was analyzed and compared first to a standard layout produced with the same heat treatment by the same manufacturer, then to a standard rod restack processed (RRP) and a powder in tube (PIT) (4) wire produced by other manufacturers. The chemical composition and microstructure investigation is an important contribution to better understand which directions should be followed in the manufacturing process for producing wires with higher performance. In this study, the homogeneity of elemental concentrations all over the wire cross section is discussed and compared for different wires, with a main focus on the Sn distribution. For this purpose, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy was employed by using a scanning electron microscope(SEM) and, in particular, EDX line scans were performed all over the wire sub-elements, from the Nb barrier in the peripheral region to the Cu-Sn core. The connections between the Sn concentration gradient analysis and the wires magnetic and superconducting properties measured by SQUID magnetometry and scanning Hall probe microscopy are discussed as well.

The experiment has been performed at the internal installation COSY-11 using a stochastically cooled proton beam of the COoler SYnchrotron COSY and a hydrogen cluster target. The determined energy dependence of the total cross section weakens the hypothesis of the S-wave repulsive interaction between the eta' meson and the proton. New data agree well with predictions based on the phase-space distribution modified by the proton-proton final-state-interaction (FSI) only.

description: We consider the effect of disorder on the tight-binding Hamiltonians with a flat band and derive a common mathematical formulation of the average density of states and inverse participation ratio applicable for a wide range of them. The system information in the formulation appears through a single parameter which plays an important role in search of the critical points for disorder driven transitions in flat bands [1]. In weak disorder regime, the formulation indicates an insensitivity of the statistical measures to disorder strength, thus confirming the numerical results obtained by our as well as previous studies.

Who Cares About Carbon Leakage? The Economics of Border Tax Adjustments Under Incomplete Climate Treaties

description: Optimal choices of border tax adjustments (BTA) – tariffs or subsidies on imports and exports – are derived for a coalition of countries working cooperatively to abate greenhouse gas emissions, under an exogenous emissions reduction target. Under a domestic target, the optimal BTA is determined by a terms of trade effect only; therefore there is no justification for a carbon based BTA. It follows that most policy modelling papers have used the wrong baseline (constant domestic target) to test the effectiveness of carbon based BTA’s. Under a global target, the optimal BTA consists of the standard two components from earlier literature: the terms of trade component and an induced foreign emissions component. The common focus on carbon leakage as a major policy concern seems to be misplaced, since leakage represents the optimal rearrangement of production patterns, from the perspective of the coalition, in order to meet the target (domestic or global) in the least-cost manner. / Les choix optimaux des ajustements fiscaux à la frontière (BTA) – soit les tarifs ou les subventions sur les importations et les exportations - sont présentés pour une coalition de pays qui travaillent de concert pour réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, dans le contexte d’un cible exogène de réduction des émissions. Pour une cible domestique, le BTA optimal est déterminé uniquement par un effet des termes de commerce; donc il n'y a pas de justification dans ce cas pour un BTA basée sur les émissions de carbone dans la production du bien donné. Il s'ensuit que la plupart des exercices de modélisation ont utilisé la mauvaise base (cible domestique) pour tester l'efficacité de la base de carbone BTA. Par contre, pour une cible mondiale, le BTA optimal se compose de deux composants standards de la littérature antérieure: un composant pour les termes de commerce et un autre composant pour refléter les émissions de carbone dans la production du bien. L’accent mis souvent sur le phénomène des fuites de carbone semble être déplacées car les fuites représentent le réarrangement optimal des modes de production, du point de vue de la coalition, afin d'atteindre la cible (domestique ou mondiale) de la manière la moins coûteuse.

description: We analyze Hubble Space Telescope surface-brightness profiles of 61 elliptical galaxies and spiral bulges (hot galaxies). Luminous hot galaxies have cuspy cores with steep outer power-law profiles that break at r ~ r_b to shallow inner profiles with logslope less than 0.3. Faint hot galaxies show steep, largely featureless power-law profiles at all radii and lack cores. The centers of power-law galaxies are up to 1000 times denser in mass and luminosity than the cores of large galaxies at a limiting radius of 10 pc. At intermediate magnitudes (-22.0 < M_V < -20.5), core and power-law galaxies coexist, and there is a range in r_b at a given luminosity of at least two orders of magnitude. Central properties correlate with global rotation and shape: core galaxies tend to be boxy and slowly rotating, whereas power-law galaxies tend to be disky and rapidly rotating. The dense power-law centers of disky, rotating galaxies are consistent with their formation in gas-rich mergers. The parallel proposition that cores are simply the by-products of gas-free stellar mergers is less compelling. For example, core galaxies accrete small, dense, gas-free galaxies at a rate sufficient to fill in low-density cores if the satellites survived and sank to the center. An alternative model for core formation involves the orbital decay of massive black holes (BHs): the BH may heat and eject stars from the center, eroding a power law if any exists and scouring out a core. An average BH mass per spheroid of 0.002 times the stellar mass yields reasonably good agreement with the masses and radii of observed cores and in addition is consistent with the energetics of AGNs and kinematic detections of BHs in nearby galaxies.

description: Acoustic context effects, where surrounding changes in pitch, rate or timbre influence the perception of a sound, are well documented in speech perception, but how they interact with language background remains unclear. Using a reverse-correlation approach, we systematically varied the pitch and speech rate in phrases around different pairs of vowels for second language (L2) speakers of English (/i/-/I/) and French (/u/-/y/), thus reconstructing, in a data-driven manner, the prosodic profiles that bias their perception. Testing English and French speakers (n=25), we showed that vowel perception is in fact influenced by conflicting effects from the surrounding pitch and speech rate: a congruent proximal effect 0.2s pre-target and a distal contrastive effect up to 1s before; and found that L1 and L2 speakers exhibited strikingly similar prosodic profiles in perception. We provide a novel method to investigate acoustic context effects across stimuli, timescales, and acoustic domain.

description: Accelerated charges emit electromagnetic radiation. According to classical electrodynamics if the charges move along sufficiently close trajectories they emit coherently, i.e., their emitted energy scales quadratically with their number rather than linearly. By investigating the emission by a two-electron wave packet in the presence of an electromagnetic plane wave within strong-field QED, we show that quantum effects deteriorate the coherence predicted by classical electrodynamics even if the typical quantum nonlinearity parameter of the system is much smaller than unity. We explain this result by observing that coherence effects are also controlled by a new quantum parameter which relates the recoil undergone by the electron with the width of its wave packet in momentum space.

description: Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs), prized for their unique optical properties, are ubiquitous in a range of electronic products. However, their growing use and disposal have led to a continuous influx of LCMs into the environment as contaminants. This review synthesizes information on the sources, environmental distribution, migration, transformation, toxicity, and risks associated with LCMs. It also introduces predictions of adverse outcomes related to protein binding potential, grounded in the Adverse Outcome Pathway framework. It was pointed out for the first time that the fundamental causes of LCM contamination were informal recycling and dismantling patterns, coupled with obsolete liquid crystal processing technologies. The significant variability among different types of LCMs in distribution patterns, environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, mobility, and toxicity were emphasized. Notably, fluorinated LCMs, especially fluorobiphenyls, which posed the greatest comprehensive risk, were prone to accumulate in atmospheric dust. Our molecular docking results showed that monomers containing cyano groups, which had greater direct toxicity, carcinogenic, and mutagenic risk, also exhibited strong binding affinity, underscoring the need for priority control strategies. Additionally, this review delved into LCM exposure pathways and the heightened toxicity during degradation and metabolism. It emphasizes the importance of risk assessments for LCMs and identifies key scientific questions that require further investigation. The insights provided a scientific foundation for preventing environmental risks and promoting green chemical alternatives related to LCMs.

Tc is not present in most of them, although upper limits have been derived for WZ Cas and WX Cyg, perhaps two SC-type rather than J-type carbon stars. The Rb abundances, obtained from the resonance 7800 Å Rb I line, are surprisingly low, probably due to strong non-LTE effects in the formation of this line in cool carbon-rich stars. Lithium and $^{13}$C are found to be enhanced in all the stars. These results together with the nitrogen abundances and oxygen isotope ratios measured by Lambert et al. (1986) and Harris et al. (1987) are used to discuss the origin of J-stars. The luminosity and variability class of the stars studied would indicate that they are low mass (M$\leq 2-3$ M$_\odot$), less evolved objects than the normal carbon stars, although the presence of some luminous (M$_{bol}

description: We present an overview of the loop corrections to the mass difference $Δm_{B_d^0}/ m_{B_d^0}$ within the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We include the complete mixing matrices of the charginos and neutralinos as well as of the scalar partners of the left and right handed third generation quarks. We show that the SUSY contribution to the mass difference in the $B_d^0$ system is comparable to the Standard Model one and can be even larger for the charged Higgs contribution and for a certain supersymmetric parameter space.

description: We perform the combined analysis of the double Higgs production via gluon fusion in the $b\bar{b} γγ$ and $b\bar{b}τ^+τ^-$ decay channels at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). To validate our analysis, we reproduce the ATLAS result of the $b\bar{b} γγ$ process including all contributions from fakes. For the $b\bar{b}τ^+τ^-$ decay channel, we perform the similar analysis to the CMS one. As an improvement, we also perform the multivariate analysis employing the boosted decision tree algorithm. Then, we derive 68% probability contours on anomalous Higgs couplings in the effective field theory (EFT) approach for various analyses. We find that the $b\bar{b}τ^+τ^-$ process outperforms the $b\bar{b}γγ$ for the measurement of energy-growing operators, while adding the $b\bar{b}τ^+τ^-$ process is least beneficial for improving the precision of the Higgs self-coupling (mainly set by the $b\bar{b}γγ$ process). We illustrate that the double Higgs production alone can be comparable to the single Higgs process in constraining the modification of the top Yukawa coupling in the positive direction. Focusing on the Higgs self-coupling as a special interest, we derive the precision as a function of various improvable parameters such as tag and mistag rates of tau leptons, heavy flavor jets, photon identification, diphoton mass resolution, and jet energy resolution to take into account future phenomenological studies. As an optimistic benchmark scenario, we illustrate that the 68% and 95% probability intervals of the Higgs self-coupling, $λ_3/λ_{3}^{SM}$, at the HL-LHC can reach $[0.2,\, 2.3]$ and $[-0.1,\, 3.5] \cup [4.0,\, 6.5]$, respectively, where the correlation among the EFT coefficients is taken into account.

description: Accurate measurement of the lifetime of the neutron (which is unstable to beta decay) is important for understanding the weak nuclear force and the creation of matter during the Big Bang. Previous measurements of the neutron lifetime have mainly been limited by certain systematic errors; however, these could in principle be avoided by performing measurements on neutrons stored in a magnetic trap. Neutral and charged particle traps are widely used tool for studying both composite and elementary particles, because they allow long interaction times and isolation from perturbing environments. Here we report the magnetic trapping of neutrons. The trapping region is filled with superfluid 4-He, which is used to load neutrons into the trap and as a scintillator to detect their decay. Neutrons have a lifetime in the trap of 750 +330/-200 seconds, mainly limited by their beta decay rather than trap losses. Our experiment verifies theoretical predictions regarding the loading process and magnetic trapping of neutrons. Further refinement of this method should lead to improved precision in the neutron lifetime measurement.
Quels sont les impacts de l’exposition à la violence conjugale chez les enfants âgés de 0 à 12 ans?
Creators: name: Lauzon, Vanessa

description: Les enfants exposés à la violence conjugale font face à plusieurs défis, et ce, même in utero. Leur exposition à la violence conjugale peut causer d’énormes traumatismes générant des troubles d’adaptation. Malgré le fait que l’exposition à la violence conjugale soit un sujet de plus en plus exploré, peu d’études portent uniquement sur l’impact de cette problématique chez les enfants. Cette recherche théorique vise alors à répondre à la question suivante : quels sont les impacts de l’exposition à la violence conjugale chez les enfants âgés de 0 à 12 ans? À travers la lentille des théories critiques et de l’approche féministe, une analyse thématique réalisée prenant appui sur une vaste recension des écrits a permis de faire ressortir les conséquences de l’exposition de l’enfant exposé à la violence conjugale ainsi que l’impact que celle-ci peut avoir sur les rôles parentaux et sur les liens parents-enfants. En outre, cette recherche analyse les différentes conséquences que la violence conjugale est susceptible d’avoir sur le développement psychologique, physique et social des plus jeunes. Ce mémoire apporte aussi des recommandations pour les intervenants qui œuvrent auprès de cette clientèle. Cette recherche vise aussi à aider les intervenants sociaux et les intervenants de première ligne à mieux comprendre la problématique de violence conjugale et les répercussions qu’elle peut avoir chez l’enfant.

description: Markovian approximation is a widely-employed idea in descriptions of the dynamics of open quantum systems (OQSs). Although it is usually claimed to be a concept inspired by classical Markovianity, the term quantum Markovianity is used inconsistently and often unrigorously in the literature. In this report we compare the descriptions of classical stochastic processes and quantum stochastic processes (as arising in OQSs), and show that there are inherent differences that lead to the non-trivial problem of characterizing quantum non-Markovianity. Rather than proposing a single definition of quantum Markovianity, we study a host of Markov-related concepts in the quantum regime. Some of these concepts have long been used in quantum theory, such as quantum white noise, factorization approximation, divisibility, Lindblad master equation, etc.. Others are first proposed in this report, including those we call past-future independence, no (quantum) information backflow, and composability. All of these concepts are defined under a unified framework, which allows us to rigorously build hierarchy relations among them. With various examples, we argue that the current most often used definitions of quantum Markovianity in the literature do not fully capture the memoryless property of OQSs. In fact, quantum non-Markovianity is highly context-dependent. The results in this report, summarized as a hierarchy figure, bring clarity to the nature of quantum non-Markovianity.

description: Microplastic pollution is a significant environmental issue caused by unsustainable plastic use and disposal. These tiny plastic particles (<5 mm) have been found in virtually every environmental compartment, and their environmental removal is currently deemed unfeasible. Microplastics have received a lot of attention over the past decade due to concerns over their ecological and health effects. However, limited research has been done on the management of microplastics. Microplastic pollution is directly related to total plastic pollution, so reducing environmental plastic waste is crucial for reducing microplastics. Overall plastic pollution can be reduced by different strategies including, effective plastic waste management encompassing the 4Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover) along with upcycling, implementing policies that govern the entire lifecycle of plastics promoting a circular economy for plastics, enhancing treatment technologies and clean-up, creating public awareness and developing sustainable alternatives. However, the multifaceted nature of microplastic contamination cannot be properly addressed by employing these strategies independently, leading to the limited effectiveness of these strategies. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach integrating the above strategies to limit the environmental plastic input and reduces the plastic waste already accumulated is crucial. This manuscript provides a framework for effective management of microplastics and provides comprehensive discussions of each strategy within the framework including the potential measures by governments, international organizations and the public to reduce plastic waste. Moreover, it provides recommendations for improving the legislative framework and identifies the research gaps in the microplastic clean-up technologies and sustainable plastic alternatives that need to be addressed to improve management of environmental microplastics. Management of microplastics is dependent on the management of overall plastic waste. Policies and regulations should address both municipal and industrial plastic wastes Technologies for microplastics removal can improve plastic cleanup. International and industrial cooperation is crucial for reducing environmental MPs. Long-lasting solutions need a multidisciplinary approach.
Learning to be Green: A Study of the Olympic Games

description: This research paper explores the topic of environmental sustainability and its intersection with the Olympic Movement. It examines how various factors, including host city capacity and external pressures, influence the environmental sustainability of the Olympics. Through an examination of the roles of key stakeholders, including organizing committees, sponsors, and non-governmental organizations, this paper analyzes the environmental outcomes of Olympic Games which occurred between 2000 and 2016. This paper argues that coercive isomorphism has resulted in increasingly similar Olympic bids, which do not translate to similar environmental outcomes owing to differences in planning and implementation of sustainability strategies. Keywords: Olympics, environmental sustainability, event management, isomorphism
